The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 200

200.

[Clash of Gods and Heroes!]

[The cause lies in Kaiser’s raid on Fratel’s Hidden Named Raid Boss, Ruidra!]

[Shock as it’s revealed that Kaiser raided Ruidra, who the Hero Guild was recruiting for…]

[Babylon’s intrusion! Babylon covets Kaiser?]

[The Last Lantern Festival? It turns out that Fratel’s famous Lantern Festival has now ended…]

[The connection between the Lantern Festival and Kaiser.]

Headline articles plastered everywhere.

Not only the God of the Century website but also various portal sites like Green Window and Blue Window were filled with articles about Kaiser.

Even real-time search rankings were dominated by related stories.

-Seriously, why can’t Kaiser have a single quiet day, lol.

-What’s going on this time, fr fr [for real].

-Raid on Ruidra, war with the Hero Guild, and the end of the Lantern Festival? All in one day?

-Has there ever been a user with this much impact?

-How dare you, blasphemously calling a god a user!

└Ah, ahem… Kamen…

-I can hear the reporters celebrating from here, lol.

The community exploded.

People were swarming over this unprecedentedly massive issue.

“Greetings, brothers! It’s Ttaengcheol TV! Everyone knows about the commotion, right? Oh, who doesn’t? Hey, I wouldn’t have brought it up if I was just going to talk about it! I’m the one who filmed the Lantern Festival broadcast!”

“Boss steal? Nah, it’s more like boss kidnapping. Huh? How can you kidnap a boss? Ah, the boss kidnapped Kaiser.”

This time, not only the community and reporters but also streamers like BJs [Broadcast Jockeys, streamers] were busy chattering away.

Previously, they could only engage in speculative discussions.

But this time, thanks to the Lantern Festival, they had a lot to say since they broadcasted and filmed it directly.

-What is all this talk? The boss kidnapped someone?

└Fr fr, what is this nonsense? I don’t understand.

└? Didn’t you see the Hero Guild’s Ruidra raid broadcast? Were you practically a foreigner?

└Nah, he’s just uncultured. Almost everyone knows about it.

└So what is it, you X-tard?

└In a nutshell, as soon as the Hero Guild started the raid, Kaiser appeared while Hero Landing, and suddenly a hidden phase was activated, and the boss kidnapped Kaiser, okay?

└…? What the hell is this.

-More importantly, what’s with the last Lantern Festival? Is the Lantern Festival not happening anymore?

-So how did the war go? Why did Babylon get involved? Are they acquainted?

-Ah, damn it, ask one thing at a time, you bastards. It’s so confusing.

-Seriously, it’s dizzying that all of that happened in an instant, lol.

Especially this time, there were too many hot topics.

It was already a big deal if just one of those things happened, but three things happened simultaneously, so it was disorganized.

After talking for several hours.

In the end, the most focused topic was one that kept coming back.

-So Kaiser and Verze finally clashed properly, right?

-Yeah, it seems so.

-They’ve been bumping into each other here and there, but this match is finally happening.

Kaiser VS Hero Guild.

Gamers are so invested in other people’s fights that they get heated up about combat power rankings.

There was no way they would just let this big match pass.

And then. A video was uploaded to NewTube.

[You’ve been kidnapped.]

[Hero Guild]

[The True Lantern Festival]

Just three videos.

-OMG… Kaiser’s video is up!

-The Hero Guild is in it too?

-What, is that a king in the thumbnail? Is the king crying? Hey, is he crying?

-Wow… is that the last Lantern Festival?

The videos that were simultaneously uploaded to KaiserTV, which had already surpassed ten million subscribers, caused a sensation.

-Ah, please… it’s so sad ㅠㅠㅠ [crying emoticons]

-Angela ㅠㅠㅠㅠ hhhghhhhyuuㅜ [crying sounds]

-Gilberun… so sweet. Why is it so heartbreaking, seriously.

-But how does Kaiser get quests like that? Is it really a main quest?

-Are you a T-bal-C [term for someone who is out of touch]? Is that what you’re curious about right now?

-The lanterns are so pretty… it’s like a fairy tale.

The touching story of the king and Angela, and the sight of residents and users enjoying the Lantern Festival.

-Kidnapping is real, lololol

-Ah, so that’s what the one-line summary meant. Summary 인정 [acknowledged].

-Stylish Hero Landing

-No, he’s raiding while scrolling. How is the timing like that, lololol

-And the control is real? It’s crazy. There’s someone soloing a raid boss? Ppuyung ppapuyung [sound effect].

-It’s even a hidden named. Class, kyaa…

From the Ruidra raid to the reason for the conflict with the Hero Guild.

It cleared up the questions of those who were curious about the sudden events.

The news spread quickly, and the views exploded.

[Views: 27.15 million]

[Views: 29.42 million]

[Views: 30.31 million]

A figure that quickly surpassed ten million and reached thirty million.

The number of subscribers also increased rapidly every time the page was refreshed, which led to many changes in public opinion.

-What, Kaiser didn’t do it on purpose either.

-The Hero Guild even struck first, lololol. Aren’t they ashamed of getting trashed 30 to 1.

-Dating sim gay, lololol. They were so righteous, but tsk tsk, that’s how it is. Verhada Chureuje [Korean slang for betrayal].

-No, but Verze has a reason to be pissed. The quest he was raiding was all for nothing.

-It’s a bit ambiguous. I can understand both sides.

-The comment above is right. That’s why the guilds can’t come forward easily.

-Understand my ass, lololol. Getting trashed 30 to 1 and then trying to rush in 200 to 1 is so pathetic, getting cut off by Gilberun.

This time, the public opinion, which was closer to saying that Kaiser had crossed the line, was reversed.

There were those who sided with Verze, but most of those who were cursing Kaiser disappeared, so it was a positive change.

And these reactions were not only happening online.

Beeeeeep- Beeep-

[Yoo Jong-hyun: Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy!!!]

[Kim Doo-hyung: Breaking news! King God General Kaiser vs Disgusting Parasitic Dating Sim Gay!! They’re fighting!]

[Kwak Jae-yeol: Additional breaking news, Babylon Guild intrusion!]

[Kim Hyun-soo: The way the 판 (situation) [the flow of events] is turning is so interesting. What is Dohyun doing right now? Why isn’t he checking in this situation?]

[Kim Doo-hyung: Is that bastard playing games again without any sense?]

[Yoo Jong-hyun: What would that heretic, who doesn’t even join our KingGodGeneralKaiserPunch guild, know?]

[Kwak Jae-yeol: lololololol. He used to ask why the guild name was like that, but now he’s the most into it.]

[Yoo Jong-hyun: How could I not be captivated after encountering Kaiser-nim. I’ve already become a fervent believer of Kaiser-nim.]

[Kim Doo-hyung: Just wait. I’ll recruit Hyunah and Dohyun soon. Hyunah is almost 넘어온 (won over) [persuaded].]

Dohyun’s phone alone was vibrating intensely.

The notifications were ringing non-stop, as if the phone would explode.

And it wasn’t just his friends who were reacting.

Beep beep beep-

Screech-

“Oppa [term for older brother used by females]! Big news!! Our Kaiser-nim is fighting the Hero Guild… Huh? What, why isn’t he here?”

Hyunah quickly entered the password and came into the house, shouting, but stopped talking.

She looked around the house but couldn’t see Dohyun, so she threw off her shoes and 벌컥 (flung open) [with force] Dohyun’s door.

Then, she shook her head as she saw the capsule operating.

“Tsk, he’s playing games again. This isn’t the time to be doing that….”

Soon, she left the room without regret.

“Well… anyway, it’s either Raven or Brion, so even if he knows about what happened in the Empire, it’ll only hurt him more. I need to tell them to graduate soon!”

She thought it wouldn’t matter anyway.

As everyone focused on this incident, time passed, and the next day came.

As the overheated atmosphere calmed down to some extent, people couldn’t help but wonder.

-So what is Verze doing in this mess?

-Don’t know? He’s being quiet.

-That’s right? Come to think of it, what is Kaiser doing?

-It seems like he’s not being quiet, but constantly getting cut off by Babylon.

The Hero Guild and Kaiser, who could be said to be the main characters of this stage, were quiet.

But Verze was frustrated.

It wasn’t like he was staying still because he didn’t want to respond to people’s attention.

“Okay, the preparations are perfect. This time, I won’t miss it and will perfectly surround…”

“What? Why are you 길막 (blocking the way) [obstructing]? Won’t you move?”

“This isn’t your 자리 (place) [spot/position]…”

“Why isn’t it? We’re on a escort quest. Are you threatening the residents? Get lost before I report you?”

“……”

If he tried to wait in the city, he would inevitably be cut off by the Babylon guild members who appeared.

“Damn bastards… I’ll change the method. I’ve narrowed down the places where Kaiser might hunt. I’ll preemptively occupy this place and 말려죽 (starve him to death) [wear him down]…”

“Oops, we have business from here on out.”

“We already 선점했다규 (preemptively occupied) [claimed it first], you know?”

If he tried to preemptively occupy a dungeon or hunting ground, he would be winked at and cut off by the Babylon guild members who appeared.

Cut off in the city, cut off in the dungeon, cut off in the hunting ground…

No matter where he went, he couldn’t avoid the Babylon guild members.

“Ughhhhh!! Why do you keep blocking me!! Why!!”

All Verze could do was 날뛰 (jump around) [act wildly] and express his anger like a rebellious teenager.

And at that time, Ast was…

“This guy has a fierce personality like a wildcat.”

Sitting in his office chair, he was picking his ear while receiving real-time reports of the news.

Dohyun chuckled at Ast’s words.

“Are you really okay with this? It’s an 암묵적 룰 (unspoken rule) [tacit agreement], you know.”

“Huh? What did I do? I just preemptively occupied a few dungeons and received a few escort quests from NPCs? They’re the ones blocking the way, so they’re the bad guys~”

“……”

“Looking at the video you uploaded, the reactions are 갈렸더만 (divided) [split]. It’s not like I crossed the line, so they can’t come out 막무가내로 (recklessly) [without thinking] either, right?”

Ast smiled and added, as if to say, “See?”

“That’s why I always say. It’s hard to maintain a position that was 올라간 (built) [achieved] on image. If that were the case, Gguggu would have 폭망했어야 돼 (failed a long time ago) [been a disaster]. It’s better to give them a few bucks and have them handle things cleanly.”

If you can’t buy loyalty even with money, you should suspect that you don’t have enough money.

It was a statement worthy of Bora-ajae [slang for middle-aged man], who had such a creed.

Dohyun agreed to some extent, but the previous statement was an exception.

“Gguggu, that’s his image. He’s a crazy bastard who can’t do anything but fight.”

“Ah… that’s true. He’s the craziest bastard I know.”

Gguggu was a guy who didn’t have a day without fighting, and it was only natural that such a Gguggu would cause controversy no matter who he picked a fight with.

Rather, if an article came out saying that Gguggu was 참았 (patient) [restrained] even after getting hit first, he would have demanded that they not lie.

Anyway, that’s that…

슥 (Swish) [sound effect].

Ast stopped picking his ear and raised his head.

Then, he made eye contact with Dohyun, who was sitting across from him, and 피식 (smirked) [gave a slight smile].

“Anyway, it’s late, but welcome back, 인마 (you) [term of endearment between close friends].”

A light tone that he casually spat out.

Even though it was a reunion after a long time, Ast didn’t seem awkward at all, but rather familiar, and Dohyun slightly raised the corners of his lips.

“Long time no see, 아재 (old man) [term for middle-aged man].”

It had been 1 year and 8 months since Demlok shut down.

It was the first time in nearly two years that the two had reunited.
