The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 13

2부 15화.

Hana Mati didn’t stop him.

To be honest, he felt the same way.

He had heard many rumors about Kaiser, but frankly, he thought they were somewhat exaggerated.

Because every rumor was full of nonsense.

But now he knew.

‘…The rumors were actually an understatement.’

His battle transcended art and reached the realm of the divine.

[Viewers: 87.34 million]

Over 87 million viewers with him were witnesses to this.

Seeing that, Mati’s hands trembled.

An unknown feeling stirred deep within his heart, and his brain seemed to freeze, leaving him unable to think.

Was it overwhelming?

‘Ah….’

No, it wasn’t just that.

He had felt this emotion before.

The feeling he had when he first saw the Adventure King Barion was similar to this.

But the depth of emotion he felt now was on a different level.

‘…Oh, my god.’

Mati didn’t know.

That he would later become a prominent figure in the Kashin Church, famous for being swarming with fanatics.

As the eyes of the future tycoon sparkled as he looked at Do-hyun.

A fuse that would properly ignite his heart fell.

[The ranking of the 5th Trial has changed.]

[The ranking of the Book of Adventure has changed.]

-Huh?

-Ranking change at this timing?

-Could it be….

-Oh my god.

The chat went silent for a moment at the sudden appearance of the world message.

-Wow, holy shiiiiit!!!

-OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

-Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god!

-Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch!

-What the f***!!

-Is this real?

-Foreign bastards, did you see that!! This is the Kaiser’s country!

A tsunami-like chat that couldn’t be compared to the previous one covered the broadcast.

* * *

[The Empire’s No. 1 ranking, recaptured for the first time since the release of God of Seoul!]

[Is the new owner of the throne Kaiser?]

[Following Myeolsal and Demlock, is PTSD recurring again?]

[Kaiser, what are his limits?]

[Kaiser’s epic recapture of the No. 1 ranking in all cities on the mainland.]

[The emergence of an unprecedented player]

Articles that came up without notice and decorated the headlines.

-??

-Is the overall No. 1 real?

-OMG OMG OMG OMG

-Wow, I thought it couldn’t be, but he really took first place.

-Why is this real?

-No, when did Kaiser reach level 100?

-I heard that he was estimated to be around level 95-97 when he caught Garion, but max level in 3 months? Crazy.

└It took me 9 months just to go from 99 to 100…….

└That’s because you’re a little… No. It’s good to live a normal life.

-What the f***!!!!

-Myeolsal PTSD ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The title is so aggressive.

└Are you seriously crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Wow, that’s harsh.

└He’s touching Myeolsal in God of Seoul. How are you going to work in the future?

└The reporter says he’s quitting after today.

└A reporter who lives only for today.

-Wow, but if that’s the case, then all five cities are number one, which is really cool.

The ripple effect was beyond imagination.

From the fact that he had already reached level 100 to taking first place in the rankings.

And even articles with more provocative titles than usual.

Everything from beginning to end was a series of shocks.

How big of an issue was it? The real-time search terms on the green window were all related to this.

Various platforms and communities experienced unprecedented homepage lag and server downtime.

[Why Kaiser is a God]

[There is controversy over the emergence of someone on NewTube who claims that Kaiser is more than Kashin and is a god…….]

[Kaiser, is he really a greater player than Myeolsal?]

[Current 5th Trial (Empire) graduation ranking table……jpg]

-1st place: Kaiser S rank [13,541 points]

-2nd place: Myeolsal S rank [11,210 points]

-3rd place: Empress S rank [9,840 points]

-4th place: Cheonma S rank [9,671 points]

-5th place: Sword Saint S rank [9,596 points]

…….

-9th place: Ast S rank [9,263 points]

-10th place: Fanatic S rank [9,259 points]

-Wow, the score difference is quite big.

-Myeolsal’s performance was also legendary, so I never thought it would be broken ㄷㄷ [Korean slang for ‘ㄷㄷ’ which expresses shock or amazement]

-Damn it, it’s Kaiser again! I was going to go to sleep after seeing this post, but I ended up seeing Kaiser again. Now I have to shout. Even though I know that shouting will wake me up, I shout.

That is the mission of those who have witnessed Kaiser. Kaiser, he is a god. Kaiser, he is a god……(omitted)

└You are a great believer. I hope the day will come when everyone follows your example…….

└ㄷㄷ

└WTF, what kind of crazy person is this?

└The reply is also legendary ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Korean slang for laughter]

There was a constant stream of such posts and videos on blogs, cafes, and NewTube.

It was no exaggeration to say that the whole world was talking about Kaiser.

That’s how much Kaiser is currently the center of attention and a hot topic.

But this wasn’t the end.

[Now that Kaiser’s No. 1 recapture is a hot topic…… Is there also a change in the ranking of the Book of Adventure?]

[A historic event in which a combat class set foot in the Book of Adventure ranking for the first time!]

[The hottest topic among non-combat classes is not the 5th Trial, but the Book of Adventure!]

[Emergency in the exploration world! Explorers with fire on their feet are frantically collecting the Book of Adventure…….]

-? What are you talking about?

-I heard that Kaiser has been updated in the Book of Adventure ranking?

-Is that even possible? The Book of Adventure ranking is only updated up to 10th place. There are already dozens of explorers belonging to the top 10 guilds…….

-I think it’s the first time since the release of God of Seoul that a combat class has entered the ranking.

-Even if it’s Kaiser, this is a bit…….

Following the uproar over taking first place in the graduation ranking, another big news broke.

It was also the first time in history that a combat class entered the Book of Adventure ranking.

This was something that would make production classes, who had never been interested in what Kaiser did, freak out and rush over.

Among them, the most shocked were the explorers.

The Book of Adventure is content that openly requires exploration from its name.

Of course, the entire ranking could only be explorers.

[Real-time Book of Adventure ranking table]

-1st place: Barion S rank [20,541 points]

-2nd place: Biya S rank [15,210 points]

-3rd place: Lapit S rank [14,840 points]

-4th place: Rak S rank [14,671 points]

-5th place: Mizuki S rank [11,596 points]

…….

-9th place: Lee Cheol-gwang [9,380 points]

-10th place: Kaiser A rank [9,259 points]

At first glance, you might think, “What’s the big deal about taking 10th place at the very end?” but that’s only from the perspective of a combat class.

For explorers, there was nothing more humiliating than this.

-Wow, it’s real.

-The explorers were so arrogant, it serves them right ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Honestly, I think we should acknowledge up to 4th place. The scores are on a different level.

-Yeah, there’s a reason why they’re called the Four Heavenly Kings.

-Oh, the guy who fell out of the ranking ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He belongs to a famous large guild ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He barely made it to the end a while ago and was so arrogant ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He was eliminated in a week ㅋㅋ Oh, I didn’t say who it was ^^

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Ah, that’s right. You didn’t say ㅎㅎ [Korean slang for laughter]

└Ed ㄹ…… Oops.

The comments alone were full of ridicule, which was proof of that.

Unlike combat classes, who can prove themselves in many ways even if they don’t enter the ranking, that’s not the case for explorers.

This is because the realm of exploration is not very intuitive.

In this situation, the most objective and reliable way to prove oneself was the Book of Adventure.

In other words, the ranking is their hierarchy.

This means…….

-So, from now on, Kaiser is the 10th in the explorer hierarchy?

It meant that Kaiser had become a big shot in the exploration world overnight.

-What’s a combat class doing ㅉㅉ [Korean slang expressing disapproval or annoyance]

-I will never admit it. What did he do that we should treat him like a big shot? He has to start as a porter here, even if he’s a god in the combat class.

-Honestly, does Kaiser have any Books of Adventure that he explored and found? It’s probably points accumulated from clearing world quests and catching bosses.

Of course, there was bound to be a backlash.

In the case of some people, they had reached the stage of anger beyond simply opposing it.

-We really need to reform the Book of Adventure.

-I agree. This is the most important indicator for us, but if the Book of Adventure can be climbed just by catching bosses, what about explorers like us? That’s why these unfortunate events happen.

└Who are you, you bug-like bastard, to talk about exploration in front of? It’s a problem that someone I’ve never heard of is evaluating the god, but he doesn’t even know his place and dares to open his mouth and talk sh**,……(omitted)

└Who is this guy again?

└Leave him alone. That bastard has been following every post all day doing that. Kaiser is a god, blah blah…… Ugh, it’s best to just block him.

└I’ll talk to Kaiser as soon as he comes to the new continent.

└What are you going to do by talking to him?

└I’m going to tell him to have a cancellation bet with exploration. He’s the 10th-ranked big shot, so he wouldn’t be afraid of me, who belongs to a mid-sized guild, right? ^^

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Right, right.

Just as they were continuing their bad reviews.

-Ignorant people who cannot believe in the god ㅉ [Korean slang expressing disapproval or annoyance] http//nyutube…….

-That bastard is persistent too.

-That’s what Kashin Church bastards are like.

-Isn’t he an intelligent anti?

-What’s with the link?

-Don’t tell me he’s promoting himself? He’s a vicious bastard ㄹㅇ [Korean slang for ‘real’]

-Thinking about it, Martti……. Could it be Mati?

‘EnlightenedMartti’, who had been shielding him as a god a little while ago, posted a link along with sarcastic remarks.

As various opinions were boiling in the Explorer Gallery.

-? The link is KaiserTV?

-……No, if you look closely, Mati is also there. This bastard is promoting himself.

-But if you’re going to promote it, you should upload your own video, why KaiserTV?

-The title is “The Process of Finding a Common Secret Dungeon”?

-Could this be…….

When they actually clicked on the link, they couldn’t help but pause.

Of course, they thought it would be Mati’s broadcast, but the fact that it was KaiserTV and the title was unusual.

“It’s on the left.”

“It’s on the right here.”

Above all, Kaiser’s firm comments in the intro and the chat room’s crazy appearance.

And Mati’s shocked expression overlapped, raising expectations.

It was a different editing style than what they had seen so far, but that didn’t matter to them now.

-……Exploration video?

The only thing that mattered was that this video was the only video containing Kaiser’s exploration skills that they had been talking about.

Starting with a comment in the Explorer Gallery, the NewTube video, which was known, quickly spread, and people from the combat and non-combat systems, as well as ordinary people, began to flock to it.

And it didn’t take long for them all to be shocked.

-Wow, that’s crazy.

-What is this? Why is all the pathfinding a 2-second cut?

-ㄹㅇ [Korean slang for ‘real’] Is it a map hack ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What, are you kidding me, telling someone like this to start as a porter, saying you can’t admit it? It’s ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋ

-Look at the explorers suddenly becoming quiet.

-Ugh ㅉㅉ [Korean slang expressing disapproval or annoyance]

It was a sure-fire evidence video that instantly calmed the wildfire-like fire that had been sparked by the explorers’ backlash.

Even this was just the beginning.

-Huh? What, more videos have been uploaded?

-3-minute gate? What is this…… OMG, is that what 3 minutes meant?

-It’s crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Who did the editing? It’s so funny that the sound of “Oong~?” comes out every time Mati’s expression overlaps.
