The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 1

335. Black Knight Garion

Part 2, Episode 1.

Black Knight Garion.

The Knight Commander and Lord of Arren Castle.

And the one who made a pact with the Abyss Demon Dragon, known as Darkness and Iron Blood.

After defeating him, who almost devoured the Empire, a great upheaval occurred in God of Creation Online.

Kaiser, who prevented the catastrophe that nearly wiped out the Imperial Family and submerged a third of the Empire’s cities into the Abyss, was a major topic, but…

[God of Creation Online’s First New Continent Update!]

[Full-scale exploration of the New Continent after 2 years since launch! The world’s attention is focused…]

[Users advancing into the New Continent are making unconventional moves. Various content is pouring out…]

[Myeolsal, ranked 1st in the New Continent! Achieving a triple crown, is there anyone who can stop Myeolsal?]

The New Continent, which was updated shortly after, was an even bigger topic.

For the Rankers who were already dissatisfied with the stagnation of their growth, this update was like an event that cleared their blocked meridians.

Numerous users advanced into the New Continent, creating many talking points.

Graduation quests, quests from different races, and other content.

What reason would a gamer have not to be enthusiastic?

But if you had to pick just one…

[Different races begin to interact with users, becoming a hot topic…]

[Numerous different races have appeared, resulting in a flood of new quests, and users are entering a second growth phase…]

[The undisputed number 1 in the different race popularity vote! Elves, how beautiful are they?]

[Beastmen VS Elves]

[Graduation quests have opened in the New Continent?]

[The New Continent has become a land of opportunity! Experts agree that whoever seizes the New Continent first may become the next owner…]

Nine out of ten would choose the full-scale activity of the different races, who had disappeared without a trace.

In particular, the most welcomed thing was the interaction with the different races.

Of course, it’s not as grand as calling it interaction.

At best, it was only about getting quests or being able to encounter them, but that didn’t matter.

└Crazy!! Elves are here!

└Wow, can I finally talk to an Elf?

└OMG OMG OMG OMG Elves are so pretty. Seriously wow… so this is what a goddess is like. I think I know what it means for the scenery to change. Their art style is different from ours, for real.

└Ah… God. Have you heard my prayers?

└? God is in the Empire.

└He probably likes Elves too. Dude.

└Aha.

└No, dudes, that’s not what’s important right now. If you meet a different race, get a quest no matter what. The rewards are insane, seriously.

└For real, the rewards are rewards, but it’s essential to get a lot of points during the graduation quest.

└Right now, the top 10 guilds are also focusing on conquering the different races. There are so many hidden pieces that have been unlocked because of the different races.

└Different races were the answer.

└Getting close to the Nymph residents, they tell me about places with good scenery, and it’s really pretty.

Some achieved romance, others were intoxicated by rewards.

Still others enjoyed the new adventure.

Everything the updated New Continent gave was exciting for the users.

[I scolded an Elf with a confession]

[What is the ideal type of an Elf?]

[Let’s learn the archery of the Elves, said to be the best in the world!]

[What reaction will you get if you call a canine beastman a dog bastard?]

[The 1st New Continent, Elannis Graduation Quest Guide!]

It was impossible for streamers chasing sensational content to miss this.

Videos with titles that could attract all sorts of attention and strategy videos were uploaded several times a day.

Thanks to this, the NewTube algorithm was filled with things about the New Continent for a while, and many media outlets, including public broadcasting, talked about it.

So much so that even when you go to the gym or walk down the street, all you hear about is the New Continent and the different races.

The changes didn’t end there.

[The birth of a new top 10 guild]

[The Arc Guild, which had been making a name for itself as a dark horse, has proudly risen to the throne]

[The reason for the Arc Guild’s rapid rise is the New Continent?]

[Breaking news! Guilds have been born that have continuously occupied empty thrones… Is the new owner the Japanese Mikazuki Guild?]

[A major upheaval occurs with the update of the New Continent!]

└Wow, crazy… I thought their recent activities were unusual, but they finally took over the top 10 guild.

└Well, if it’s empty for a long time, the balance will be broken, and someone will have to take the spot.

└There were a lot of talks about war, but the New Continent update seems to have been a godsend. If you go to war, you’ll fall behind, so it naturally changes to a competitive structure lol [laughing out loud].

└Those two guilds were overwhelming, so… it’s a natural result.

└I wonder who will fill the remaining vacancy. It seems like there are no more guilds that are 독보적으로 [dokbojeogeuro – uniquely/distinctively] ahead.

└They’re picking 3 candidates. Well, it doesn’t matter who it is, so if we just wait, it’ll be decided in a few months at the latest.

As the New Continent became the main stage, the users who had advanced into the New Continent early on gained great power.

As a result, the rankings of the Rankers changed, and the vacancies in the top 10 guilds were filled with new people.

In many ways, many major changes occurred.

The impact of this was not limited to guilds and Rankers.

Perhaps more than anyone else, those who advanced into the New Continent first, to the point of living there.

‘The Villains.’

Those who committed heinous acts in the Empire that amounted to serious crimes, or those who raised their Karma stat so high by massacring users that it was difficult to restore.

Heinous criminals living in a lawless zone where there are no rules or laws.

They benefited unexpectedly from this update.

Therefore, the top 10 guilds and other forces were wary of them…

‘I thought it was surprisingly quiet.’

Whether they were still testing the waters, or whether they were holding back because of the endless influx of forces.

They became quieter than before and quickly fell out of people’s attention.

And that was the same for Do-hyun.

Not only the Villains, but no news could catch Do-hyun’s attention.

To be exact, it was more accurate to say that he had no time to do so.

Anyone would.

[Account Balance: 1,021,351,200 won [approximately $800,000 USD]]

“Ah…”

If you saw this heinous number printed on your bankbook.

-I received 1 billion won… I couldn’t say anything…

Do-hyun squeezed his eyes shut at the familiar voice that flashed through his mind.

Even after blinking his eyes several times, the amount remained the same, and Do-hyun couldn’t help but open his mouth.

“…What is this? Is it a bug?”

There had been so many eventful things since entering the Empire that he had been too busy to check for a while.

The bank balance he checked after a long time was not normal no matter how he looked at it.

He remembered breaking 100 million, but 1 billion?

Why was the money duplicated?

But the question was only temporary.

Subscribers: 21.474 million

Views: 211,245,132

“…Crazy, why is the number of subscribers like this?”

Do-hyun spat out swear words after checking the number of NewTube subscribers and views.

This was an irresistible force like a knee-jerk reaction.

When he last checked, he was about to reach 15 million, but in a few days, he had exceeded 20 million?

He seriously wondered if there was a bug.

‘The video of catching Garion already has 200 million views… what about the other videos?’

When he hurriedly checked, all the videos had exceeded 40 million views, and the videos that were a bit larger in scale had all exceeded 100 million views.

At this rate, a huge amount of money will fall into my account next month.

That means…

Bang-!

“Mom! Sis! I’m rich!!”

“Ugh, you scared me. Why are you suddenly making a fuss again as soon as I wake up… no, what’s the matter?”

When an excited Do-hyun rushed out to the living room and shouted, Hyun-ah, who was drinking water, was surprised and spilled the cup on her face.

Behind Hyun-ah, who frowned at the sudden splash of water, was her mother, Chae Mi-sook, peeking out.

“What’s all the commotion?”

“Ah, I don’t know! Hasn’t my brother been acting like that for the past day or two? This is the clothes I just changed into, ugh…”

“Son, apologize quickly.”

“Hmm? Oh, were you there? Sorry… no, this is not the time for this. Mom, get ready quickly. We’re going to the department store. No, if you haven’t eaten, let’s eat beef first.”

“Hey, why are you stopping in the middle of an apology! No, more than that, a department store? Beef? Really? Why?”

“Why is she suddenly saying this out of nowhere after waking up. What department store? Where do you get the money, Do-hyun?”

“Mother, your proud son has become a nouveau riche [newly rich]. Come on, so don’t worry and get ready and come out.”

“Oh my.”

Chae Mi-sook, who was being pushed by Do-hyun’s confident appearance, turned her head to Hyun-ah.

It was a silent question asking if she knew what was going on.

Hyun-ah, who was tilting her head, paused as if something came to mind. It suddenly occurred to her that her brother was Kaiser.

And Kaiser had become a hot potato by stopping a city quest of extinction-level scale.

Although the talk about him has decreased due to the New Continent update, the NewTube views that have already been 찍힌 [jjikhin – recorded/taken] will not disappear.

‘…Could it be?’

And Hyun-ah, as a fan of Kaiser, knew the number of NewTube views.

There are more than one or two videos that have exceeded 100 million views, so at least…

“헐 [Heol – Wow/OMG].”

Hyun-ah, who had been imagining the amount for a while, began to make a fuss.

“Mom!! This is not the time for this! Get dressed and let’s go out quickly! Ask him to buy you all the bags!”

“Hey, why are you suddenly like this, Hyun-ah?”

“Ah, hurry, hurry! Don’t worry, my brother has made a lot of money now.”

“Where did you make money?”

When Chae Mi-sook asked as if she didn’t know what was going on in this sudden situation, Do-hyun answered with a serious face.

“I made some money in the game this time. It’s quite a lot of money, so don’t worry.”

“See, that’s what I’m saying? You know that a lot of money in God of Creation Online means you’re making a lot of money, Mom? So let’s get ready and come out quickly.”

“I’ve heard that God of Creation Online is good for making money… I don’t know if this is really okay.”

“Oh, it’s okay. Hurry, hurry!”

“Oh my, these kids are really… I don’t know. I’ll get ready and come out?”

“Yeah, yeah. You have to come out quickly!”

Rather, Hyun-ah urged her more, and Chae Mi-sook went into the room as if she had no choice but to prepare.

But the two saw it.

The subtle smile with happiness in her mouth and eyes.

Click.

Nod.

Do-hyun, who made eye contact at the same time, raised his thumb, and Hyun-ah nodded.

Do-hyun, who had confirmed that they were in an implicit alliance, spoke in a solemn voice as if he were facing a general before a great event.

“Sis. I trust your judgment. Your bag will change depending on your judgment, so do your best.”

“Kyaa! Really? Awesome!! I’ll do my best to pick out a full set.”

“Hmm! I trust you.”

“Your grace is boundless, brother.”

Do-hyun chuckled as he watched Hyun-ah muttering about BalenXaga [Balenciaga] and CelXne [Celine] and going into the room with excitement.

When his identity was first revealed, he didn’t know what to do with this awkwardness.

Now, the awkwardness has been relieved a lot, and he feels like he has a reliable ally.

Hyun-ah, who is more interested in decorating than his own miserable taste, will choose a better gift for his mother.

‘Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever bought her anything.’

If you had to pick one, wouldn’t it be buying her beef?

‘I should take her next time too.’

Of course, he was planning to get help for sure.

Do-hyun’s face, who had been chuckling, suddenly became serious.

‘Ah, what should I buy for myself? Should I buy a PorXche [Porsche]? I heard the PaXmera [Panamera] is so pretty.’

He doesn’t have a big desire for cars, but he got 1 billion won at once, so can’t he flex this much?

Do-hyun was carefully searching for PorXche [Porsche] on NewTube while thinking about that.
