Yesterday…
As Cale woke up and gathered a bunch of information too late…
‘F, fuck……!’
Cale’s hands were shaking while watching the video.
It felt like something big had happened.
“Human, what is it? Your face looks so serious right now!”
Shake shake.
Cale could not hear Raon’s voice.
The battle footage lasting hours using highest quality video and amazing sounds…
“Ha.”
Cale looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
– Cale. We’re totally amazing, no?
The now recovered Dominating Aura chimed in with a chipper yet imposing voice.
– The forest is pretty.
The glutton sounded like she was chewing on something as she let out a short comment about the grey forest.
Cale looked at the ceiling and asked Eruhaben.
“…Eruhaben-nim, how has the reaction been for the video?”
“Mm.”
The ancient Dragon groaned.
But Raon answered brightly.
“Human, according to Rosalyn, the views are rising extremely quickly! The footage of Eden Miru’s birth can’t even compare! She said this is the first time a personal channel’s views are rising like this!”
“Ah.”
Cale sighed.
“Eruhaben-nim, can I meet the person?”
But the moment Cale looked down from the ceiling and looked at Eruhaben…
Eruhaben flinched.
“Human, what kind of scam are you planning that you are smiling like that?”
Eruhaben quickly opened the room door while listening to Raon.
“I’ll bring him. He should be resting in another room.”
* * *
Cale heard a commotion outside the door in a moment.
“…….”
Cale looked at the sleeping Alberu for a moment before looking at the door.
Creeeeeak.
The door slowly opened.
Cale watched the door open and thought to himself.
‘He’s a crazy bastard.’
The Crazed Attention Seeker who would soon come into the room? That guy was at Clopeh’s level.
Cale heard him and his friend chatting as he watched the video.
‘C, cute baby Dragon…! And the Dragon is a good little Dragon! The Dragon is on our side! Huff, huff.’
‘Ohhhhhhhh! One glance of a god makes it feel like my heart will break and I will log out! Huff huff, it is hard to b, breathe. So cool……!’
‘Ugh. He fought against a god! Uuuuuuuuuugh!”
…This bastard was not normal.
Cale was tense.
Clopeh Sekka.
You needed to be cautious while dealing with people at that level of crazy.
“Mm.”
And once the Crazed Attention Seeker and his friend walked inside…
Cale let out a short groan.
– Human, human!
Raon urgently shouted.
– His gaze is weird!
The Crazed Attention Seeker walked in extremely cautiously.
He wasn’t smiling and seemed a bit tense. He still managed to respectfully bow toward Cale.
– He’s really weird!
But that gaze truly was no joke.
Huff huff.
He was not huffing because he was angry like Raon.
His nostrils were flaring, his cheeks were flushed, and the gaze the Crazed Attention Seeker was giving was sparkling way too much.
His gently bobbing shoulders… His neatly clasped yet flinching hands…
“…….”
Most importantly, the friend who was walking by his side with a leery and awkward look on her face… The friend kept peeking at the Crazed Attention Seeker and shaking her head.
And behind the two of them…
– Hoo hoo. How entertaining.
The Heavenly Demon was there.
Cale heard the sound transmission from the Heavenly Demon and looked toward him.
– It really is going to be difficult for you to be a god.
‘What the hell?’
Cale ignored the Heavenly Demon’s nonsense.
But the Heavenly Demon meant it.
‘Gods are worshiped but also feared.’
The Demon Cult showed all sorts of respect toward the Heavenly Demon, but they could not approach him with such feelings of anticipation or excitement.
‘But heroes are different.’
The objects of admiration are approached not with fear but with excitement.
‘But it is because they don’t know that he is a fearsome existence like a god.’
Cale’s power he used against the God of Chaos was beyond human limits.
‘…Maybe it’s a good thing he is in pain.’
The Heavenly Demon thought that although Cale coughing up blood and fainting was not good for Cale’s body… It was, in some ways, good for him as well.
At least it made him seem human.
The Heavenly Demon was someone who could not show that he was in pain even if he was in severe pain.
He was the god of the Demon Cult.
But Cale could say it hurts when it hurts, show his annoyance, and naturally express all sorts of emotions.
‘Because he is human.’
That should be the reason he could be a human and stand by everyone’s side.
The Heavenly Demon, who had been keeping an eye on the users because he had nothing to do, quietly entered the room and stood next to Eruhaben to see what Cale would do.
“…….”
Cale silently looked at the Crazed Attention Seeker and his friend.
Gulp.
The friend gulped.
‘He is different from game NPCs.’
That was the conclusion she came to while having their video recording devices taken away and being under surveillance.
‘There really seems to be something.’
She had come to the Devil’s Boundary because her damn friend said he was going to do some crazy shit, but she ended up being involved in some weird things.
Thump thump.
But her heart was beating wildly.
Why?
‘Holy shit. What a jackpot.’
She was also a game user who was obsessed with New World.
Furthermore, there were talks of some serious conspiracy theories linking New World and the outside world right now.
Peek.
But her main concern right now was that she had no idea what this bastard, the Crazed Attention Seeker, would do right now.
Cale started to speak at that moment.
“May I ask your name?”
“Ah.”
She opened her mouth to speak.
But the Crazed Attention Seeker was faster.
“I am the Crazed Attention Seeker.”
The Crazed Attention Seeker (CAS)’s voice was shaking.
With excitement.
“Ahem.”
The friend’s throat felt dry but she calmly answered.
“My name is Strawberry Cream Bun.”
Raon’s eyes sparkled.
“I like that bun!”
“Ugh.”
CAS clutched his heart and staggered.
But Cale just looked at CAS and Strawberry Cream Bun with a cold gaze.
‘They’re both weird.’
He didn’t know because the Crazed Attention Seeker was so animated, but he realized it the moment he saw the calmly standing Strawberry Cream Bun’s gaze.
‘Her eyes are crazy.’
It was similar to Clopeh’s gaze that had been full of anticipation while talking about Eden Miru’s Birth Ceremony.
‘Yeah.’
Cale closed his eyes.
‘It’s actually good.’
He opened his eyes back.
“My name is Cale Henituse.”
Let’s drag these two in.
The Crazed Attention Seeker should be able to become a mainstream streamer thanks to this video.
It will end up with a once-in-a-generation level of views.
Earth 3.
He had an ally with power and money in that place.
He also had a spy within the enemies.
‘All that is left is the press.’
‘The Transparent © is more skilled on TV or newspaper.
We will focus on personal broadcasts or videos.’
The Birth of a Hero.
They needed a proper media to publicize the main quest.
“…Ah.”
“…….”
The Crazed Attention Seeker nodded his head while the Strawberry Cream Bun stayed silent after hearing Cale’s name.
Cale calmly spoke to them.
“I’m sure you are expecting it to a degree, but…”
The quest they received was already broadcasted as a video.
‘The quest to save this game.’
The system was probably scared about what would happen if the God of Chaos advented for real and revealed itself.
“This game is in danger right now.”
“Mm.”
The Crazed Attention Seeker groaned.
On the other hand, Strawberry Cream Bun asked a question.
“Are the conspiracy theories that they are discussing in the community true to a degree?”
She did not ask only one question.
“And are you a GM?”
‘Hooo.’
Cale was a bit amazed.
Strawberry Cream Bun. This person was pretty smart.
He opened his mouth to speak.
“Are you thinking that I am a GM who is affecting the gameplay because I want to protect the game?”
Strawberry Cream Bun’s contemplated it for a moment before nodding her head.
“Yes.”
“I am not.”
However, Cale shook his head.
Then the Crazed Attention Seeker spoke.
“Then are you perhaps a faction that is against the God of Chaos?”
‘Hooo.’
Cale was amazed at this question too.
‘Their thought processes are pretty fluid.’
Strawberry Cream Bun was the type to look for the greatest potential answer in her reality while the Crazed Attention Seeker did not put limits on his imagination no matter how impossible it seemed.
“That is correct.”
Huff huff.
The Crazed Attention Seeker’s breathing became louder.
Cale pretended not to notice.
– Human, is that user okay?
He did his best to ignore Raon’s concerned comment as well.
He just quietly observed the two users.
“…….”
He did not use any of his powers.
He just looked at them.
His skin that was dyed grey…
His pale lips and complexion…
His natural build was decent, but he was quite skinny that he looked so feeble he might fall over at any moment.
But Cale’s gaze that was watching the two people as he sat there…
Gulp.
The two users subconsciously gulped.
Cale did not seem to have noticed it, but surviving through numerous battlefields, overcoming numerous hurdles, and leading a lot of people through many many situations, all after his time as Kim Rok Soo, it made a simple gaze from him give off a different aura than most.
Cale opened his mouth to speak.
“I will tell the truth to only the two of you.”
He offered his hand to the two users.
“What do you think about becoming scammers that will fool the entire world?”
The two of them heard Cale’s voice as they stared at his hand.
‘Scammers?’
‘What the hell?’
The two users became flustered and looked at Cale in shock.
The Crazed Attention Seeker urgently, Strawberry Cream Bun calmly…
But the two of them could only have one reaction after what Cale said next.
“This world is turning from a game into the real world.”
“!”
“……!”
The two users’ pupils started to shake.
“And this world may soon turn into hell.”
Hell.
That word became etched in their ears.
Cale thought about what he saw in their video and put on an extremely serious look, one similar to what Alberu Crossman showed when talking to his vassals.
“Everyone.”
His calm voice went through their ears and into their minds.
“The game clearly stated it.”
The system was clearly understanding the reality of the situation and shared its will to the two users.
“It asked you to save this world.”
“Ah.”
Strawberry Cream Bun gasped.
She thought about the words she saw when she received the ‘Night and Light’ quest.
[Can you help save this world, this domain, this game?]
The words written before game…
World, domain…
It went past her mind and touched her heart.
“People of Earth.”
Earth.
It was quite a weird word for a New World to hear inside the game.
“Please let me reintroduce myself.”
Cale extended his hand back toward them.
“My name is Cale Henituse of the Roan Kingdom, who has come from a different dimension.”
He only spoke the truth.
“I received a request from a god to save this world.”
‘I should tell them at least this much for them to believe me, right?’
That was the thought on Cale’s mind.
The Crazed Attention Seeker heard those words and thought to himself.
‘A god… a god made a request to him?’
A person who came to save this world not because a god ordered him to do so but made a request.
Cale Henituse.
The Crazed Attention Seeker’s eyes sparkled while looking at him.
Huff huff.
His breathing became heavier as well.
Cale started to pull his hand back because this guy’s breathing was not nice to hear, unlike Raon’s breathing.
Grab!
But someone grabbed his hand without missing the moment.
It was Strawberry Cream Bun.
She slowly shook Cale’s hand up and down and smiled.
“My dream was to become a movie director.”
“Excuse me?”
“Although I have changed directions to ads now I still have not let go of the ties to movies. I believe you have chosen us as a medium for the press. I will make a movie that is more movie-like than any movie, an extremely impressive movie.”
Cale flinched.
This was a bit different from what he had expected.
The Crazed Attention Seeker shouted in disbelief toward Strawberry Cream Bun.
“But you suck at tricking people! You hate scammers the most!”
The Crazed Attention Seeker remembered Cale’s comment about becoming scammers.
Raon reacted to that.
“Our human is great at tricking people!”
“Excuse me?”
The Crazed Attention Seeker became flustered and looked at Raon, who shrugged his shoulders and turned toward Cale.
“Human, isn’t that the case?”
Cale just tried to copy crown prince Alberu’s ‘crown prince mode’ smile.
“Mm. I’ll be quiet!”
And Raon was quite better at being tactful now.
Cale looked at the confused Crazed Attention Seeker and the 270 degrees crazy eyes of Strawberry Cream Bun, who was still holding his hand, and tried to slowly pull his hand away.
At that moment…
Slam!
The closed door was slammed over.
Huff, huff.
Someone was breathing heavily.
It was the Holy Maiden.
“Holy Maiden-nim.”
Sir Boltien ran in after her and supported her.
“Ah.”
The Holy Maiden gasped after making eye contact with Cale and lowered her head.
She then said the following.
“I apologize for disrespectfully coming here like this.”
She showed her respects, then soon looked at Cale and the unconscious Alberu and then continued.
“The Sun God is calling for the two of you.”
Cale thought about his quest window at that moment.
[Sub quest : Let’s earn the ‘Purification of Chaos’ skill!]
[Go to a holy place where the eye of the God of Chaos cannot reach and rip the ‘Purification of Chaos’ text!]
[Sub quest : Let’s change the divine item’s attribute to ‘nothing’!]
[Go to a holy place and make the ‘Knife of Chaos’ submit!]
A holy place.
He heard the Holy Maiden’s voice.
“I would like to escort you to the Vatican, sir.”
The center of the Church of the Sun God.
The Vatican.
“Oh.”
Cale let out a short gasp and nodded his head.
“Of course.”
The sleeping crown prince Alberu Crossman…
It looked like he would need to go to the Vatican to wake him up.
* * *
“Heh.”
And now…
Alberu Crossman flinched again after hearing Cale laugh.
“Oh oh- oh suuuuuuuuuuun- please bestow even the tiniest bit of that glorious and radiant light to me–!”
He heard the Pope shout.
“Huh?”
Cale pretended to be shocked and opened his mouth.
“Pope-nim, Pope-nim! The hero-nim seems to be waking up!”
“Ah ah, finally—!”
Alberu immediately got annoyed.
He was certain that this punk, Cale Henituse, was doing this on purpose.
“Hero-nim, Hero-nim!”
Cale called out to the sleeping Alberu in a desperate voice and gently shook him.
Alberu could feel the subtle laughter behind Cale’s voice and just clenched his eyes shut.
‘This is driving me nuts.’
A quest window popped up as he laid there with his eyes closed.
It was a shaky quest window, probably because the Sun God sent it to him.
Of course, it was clearer than before.
[Urgent sub quest : Show the dignity of the hero!]
‘This is driving me nuts.’
