The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 71

71.

Even though Do-hyun wasn’t fond of guilds, he wasn’t a battle maniac who went around starting fights.

In fact, since he started playing GoS, he hadn’t initiated a single one.

…So, was it all just an exaggerated story?

-Kaiser is seriously crazy, lol.

-Wow, he’s so cool.

-Isn’t this just insane? Why is that cool? It just looks foolish.

-You need to know Kaiser’s backstory. He’s been in conflict with many guilds and has been betrayed multiple times. Of course, he destroyed them all every time… Anyway, Kaiser hates guilds. Nevertheless, Kaiser’s fans thought he would join a guild this time, because of the circumstances.

But our Kaiser didn’t give in.

He said screw all that and acted according to his beliefs. If that’s not cool, what is?

-헐… [Korean slang expressing disbelief or shock] I just thought it was bravado, but there was such a story.

-ㅠㅠㅠ [Korean emoticon for crying] Knowing that, Kaiser *oppa* [term of endearment used by females to address older males] is even cooler, what should I do?

Looking at the comments, that wasn’t the general sentiment.

Moreover, it wasn’t just in this one post that this talk was coming up. Every time he refreshed, posts talking about the same topic increased.

The posts were all about Kaiser’s actions and admiring him.

“What did I do? I just hunted?”

What is this? Is this *The Truman Show* [a movie about a man whose life is a reality TV show]?

It felt like the world was deceiving him.

But this is reality.

Do-hyun finally understood why there were so many people at the Brion entrance.

“Ah… they were all scouts trying to recruit me.”

He just thought it was strangely crowded and was insensitive enough to think, ‘Wow, Brion is different.’

Anyway, that’s not what’s important now.

“…So, to summarize, I’m being targeted now, right?”

Even by all sorts of guilds, including the top 100.

They won’t do anything right away because of their public image, but there will definitely be sabotage.

It’s like he gave a big middle finger to those whose pride is their livelihood.

It was unfair to Do-hyun, but the deed was already done, and no one would believe him.

Even if they did believe him, it would be too uncool to say it was a misunderstanding in this atmosphere.

It would look beyond pathetic.

‘I can’t do that.’

Do-hyun, who had no intention of doing so, had only one way to respond in the future.

‘I don’t know. Let’s just go with this.’

Continuing with this concept.

It’s an unintentional situation, but when I think about it, it’s better this way.

Even though the old Black Flame Dragon was gone, Do-hyun still harbored a lot of animosity towards guilds.

In fact, even if scouts had flocked to him, he would have refused them all.

‘It was going to happen anyway.’

Until Raven, he was careful because he wasn’t confident in handling large-scale attacks, but now it’s different from then.

He had leveled up his stats by obtaining numerous rewards, including Thousand Transformations.

With his current stats, he couldn’t possibly be lacking. He wouldn’t lose.

Maybe if he went to the Empire, but now he can confidently go out.

‘The situation isn’t bad either.’

And objectively, the situation wasn’t bad.

Whether it was because ignoring them so fiercely was received well, most of the reactions were positive.

The number of people looking forward to Do-hyun’s actions was increasing in real-time.

If it were the old Do-hyun, he would have just passed it by, but now it was different.

‘Isn’t this the perfect timing to upload a video?’

The current Do-hyun was thinking of trying NewTube [a fictional video platform, similar to YouTube].

If he started NewTube when this much attention was focused on him, what would happen? Even if only half of those people tuned in, he would receive tremendous attention.

Even if they didn’t stay, they would at least try it out.

‘The video… should be this one.’

And Do-hyun happened to have an amazing video prepared.

A video of hunting in the hidden field Warrior habitat and a video of catching the field boss Eliza.

‘Let’s pass on Eliza for now.’

Do-hyun, who was also considering Eliza and thought it wouldn’t be good to reveal her just yet, turned his attention to the remaining video.

The Warrior habitat background, the existence of the hidden field boss Karuk.

And even the battle style of excellent control using ‘Parrying.’

‘It’s perfect for the visuals and only uses swordsman skills… this is it.’

At least in Raven, there wouldn’t be a more interesting topic than this.

Do-hyun honestly admired it.

‘Wow, how can this happen?’

Honestly, even if the material was great, he wasn’t confident.

Do-hyun wasn’t confident in attracting viewers because the NewTube market was too much of a red ocean [highly competitive market] and he wasn’t confident in editing, either.

But this situation was just handed to him.

It was as if someone had set the stage for him to start NewTube.

“Editing… I don’t know. Let’s just upload it for now.”

This is why Do-hyun could upload an unedited video so boldly.

Whatever happens, he’s bound to get some viewers.

It was a hundred times better to upload it now, even if it was unedited, than to waste time entrusting it to editing.

It also had a raw appeal, and the running time wasn’t that long.

However, there was one obstacle before that.

[Please set the channel name.]

“Hmm. Channel name.”

He had to be careful in naming the channel that would be with Do-hyun forever.

After thinking for a while, Do-hyun wrote the name and uploaded the video.

[Uploading video.]

[Uploaded.]

After finishing the upload, Do-hyun coolly turned off the computer and lay down on the bed.

Feeling the soft touch wrapping around his body, he had a small wish in his heart.

‘I hope there are about 100,000 subscribers when I wake up.’

Do-hyun smiled as he muttered.

‘That’s impossible.’

100,000 in one day?

Anyone who knows even a little about NewTube would laugh and say that his dream is too big.

Getting 100,000 subscribers in one day is several times more difficult than getting 1 million views.

Even if he had expectations for attracting viewers, this was too far-fetched. Do-hyun had that much common sense.

‘It would be fortunate if the views explode.’

Thinking that, Do-hyun slowly closed his eyes. That was the last memory. He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Regular breathing echoed in the room.

Do-hyun, who fell asleep, couldn’t even imagine.

What kind of ripple the video he uploaded was causing, and how much the community was turned upside down while he was sleeping peacefully.

* * *

Around the time Do-hyun fell asleep, on NewTube.

[Raven, Hidden Field Hunting Video]

A short title.

As that title was thrown into NewTube, viewers who took the bait began to appear one by one.

-? What is this?

-There’s a hidden field in Raven?

Those who clicked on the video with questions left comments after about 20 minutes.

-Warrior habitat? Crazy, it’s a real hidden field?

-There was a hidden field hidden in Raven? Wow… this will be a big deal if it spreads?

-No, what’s more, what’s that control? Why aren’t you getting hit?

The title they thought was impossible was real.

It was amazing that there was a hidden field in Raven, but what was even more amazing was that unbelievable control.

He was using his whole body as a weapon to take on the Warriors.

The sight of not allowing a single attack and stuffing in all attacks was almost artistic.

Among them, the highlight was none other than the boss fight.

-What skill is that that deflects all attacks?

-Is that parrying? No, did he succeed in all parries?

-Wow… look at the boss’s physique. It looks like you’ll die if you get hit even once, but you’re not getting hit.

-Did you see him luring the attack by luring it to the wall and dodging by rolling into the blind spot while kicking the wall? What sense?

He freely utilized ‘Parrying,’ which boasts extreme difficulty, and literally dominated the boss.

It’s not an exaggeration, but the entire running time of over 20 minutes was a masterpiece.

Here, people couldn’t help but wonder.

-My goodness… is this really human control?

-Who is it?

Who is the main character of this video that is showing such unbelievable skills?

That curiosity was resolved the moment they checked the channel name.

[Kaiser TV]

Subscribers: 23

-……Kaiser TV?

-Kaiser? Could it be the Kaiser I know?

-헐, crazy. Did Kaiser upload a video now?

The channel name clearly stated Kaiser.

There was no thought of impersonation at all. The skill that could only be thought of as Kaiser himself and the stage of the hidden field.

[Greetings: Hello, this is Kaiser. Please understand that I am uploading without editing because it is my first time on NewTube. Enjoy watching.]

And even the kind but subtly chic and indifferent greetings.

The three factors proved that it was Kaiser.

-Wow, jackpot. What are you doing not spreading it right now!?

-엉엉 [Korean emoticon for crying] Take me!

-Everyone, please watch this. Our Kaiser-nim [honorific title] uploaded a video! The quality is crazy, so please watch it! Link http……(omitted).

Excited fans began to spread the video here and there, including the community, and

-What? Kaiser started NewTube!??

-Even a hidden field? There’s a hidden field in Raven?

-What is it, what is it?

In a situation full of Kaiser talk, many people clicked on the video.

And they were shocked.

-Holy shit! What the……

-Wow… wow… really wow, I can’t say anything.

-His play is not human. I can’t help but admire the beautiful movements.

-You need to be this good to have the ambition to fight the top 100 guilds alone.

-I was a bit skeptical, but ㅇㅈ [Korean slang for 인정, meaning 인정합니다 which translates to “I acknowledge/agree”]……;; The control is crazy. Is parrying a passive skill, lol.

-But what’s the deal? The Warriors are just melting? What kind of items are they……

-Control, deal [damage output], mentality, there’s nothing lacking. He’s really a born talent. That’s why he was number one.

They spread the news without saying anything after seeing the crazy play that the title of God was not an exaggeration.

The video that spread like wildfire attracted unprecedented attention in history…

-Is this the NewTube of God?

-Ah… you’ve come. Come and meet God and come back to comment.

-I’m from Australia. Is this the country of God?

-Already rewatching 5 times… currently breaking through 5 diapers. There are still 20 left……

-But who’s that guy wearing a robe next to him? Is he with him?

-It’s a game for 18 years old, but isn’t it too small to say that? It looks like he’s in the 140cm range… Is he a short woman?

-Isn’t he a guardian [a hired helper in the game]? Looking at him only picking up items, it seems like he just hired a guardian because he’s too lazy to pick up items.

-I don’t know anything, but is the number of views real? It was 200,000 an hour ago, but it’s already surpassed 500,000.

-The number of subscribers is also increasing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅎㅋㅎㅋ [Korean laughter emoticons] The class is crazy.

-Ah, how can I stand this ㅋㅋㅋ [Korean laughter emoticon]

The number of views instantly surpassed 1 million and the number of subscribers surpassed 100,000.

Moreover, it didn’t end here and continued to rise, and people who couldn’t stop their excitement with this much even went so far as to declare.

-Is it okay to have only one video?

-This is a sin. To only upload one such video!

-I need something to stan [support enthusiastically]. Let’s unite for efficient stanning!

Extreme fans gathered and created a cafe.

Also known as Kashinism.

It meant a religious order that worships the god Kaiser, a so-called fan cafe.

What’s amazing is that this Kashinism was not a newly created cafe this time.

-What is it? There’s already a Kaiser fan cafe?

-Was it there during the Demrok era? Ah, I don’t know, let’s join there first!

-Oh, jackpot. There are a lot of Kaiser-related posts. Everyone gather here!

This cafe, created by a manager named ‘Fanatic,’ was operated on a small scale with two digits, but fortunately, the manager accepted all the newbies with a wide range.

Now that the name is known so quickly, the number of members of Kashinism has instantly surpassed five digits.

As NewTube was turned upside down like this, and Kashinism was establishing itself as the official Kaiser fan cafe of GoS…

“Hmmnya, um… golden……”

Do-hyun was muttering strangely and roaming the dreamland.
