NOVEL WEB Chapter 21
Chapter 21 – Top-tier Rogue Rogue
A week had passed since the fierce battle with Dodat. From the moment I poured everything out, I lay writhing in agony, plagued by intense fatigue and muscle pain.
In reality, it had nothing to do with the game. At first, I mistakenly thought it was just a simple cold or body ache and let my guard down.
I was greatly taken aback by the unexpected turn of events that followed. Encountering my first encounter with menstruation, I was not just feeling melancholic about the fact that I was now menstruating as a healthy man, uttering thoughts like ‘Wait, me, a robust man, menstruating?!’
That day, I awoke in the early hours to sharp pain as if someone was repeatedly stabbing my lower abdomen with a knife, screaming in agony, “It has finally arrived. Which broadcaster could have possibly found out my address…?”
I wailed out loud, sobbing uncontrollably. Even after grasping the situation, there was no room for embarrassment. That night, I was so weak that I couldn’t even change my pants, let alone my underwear. The memory of wailing in bed, tears streaming down my face, begging for mercy…
I probably won’t be able to forget that even if I were born again. Even just thinking about it now makes my lower abdomen twist uncomfortably.
But now, I’m well-practiced at this. From the moment I start to feel a subtle ache in my body, I skillfully equip the necessary items in their designated spots ahead of time and stick three hot packs onto a towel, placing it on my belly.
Even if I’m not feeling hungry yet, I ordere two bowls of warm porridge for delivery and divide them into portions in the fridge. Because it’s hard to even open the door and step out for the first two days.
So for three days and nights, I curl up in bed, barely moving aside from shifting to eat the porridge, silently cursing the heavens in my heart for inflicting such pain upon me, and repeating prayers promising not to do anything bad again.
And then, around the fourth day, as if it were a lie, the pain starts to dull. Not missing this moment, ordering a pint divided with half chocolate and half mint chocolate provides the strength to endure the remaining time.
… I never knew I would need both mint and chocolate until I had mud in my eyes. With superhuman reflexes, Yena’s body sought out food that transcended human limits.
“Seriously, why is this… so delicious.”
Delicious. No, incredibly delicious.
The sweetness of the chocolate bursting in my mouth, and the refreshing feeling that cleansed my mouth just before the sweetness became too heavy. After that refreshing sensation swept through my mouth, the chocolate taste returned.
Truly, it was like the temptation of the devil, an endless cycle. My hand moved automatically, scooping toothpaste into my mouth.
Even though I tried to scream in my mind that it was just toothpaste, the signals sent by my taste buds were enough to override my will. It felt like even my taste buds malfunctioned during menstruation.
“It’s so delicious…”
In the end, to the point where I muttered unconsciously. My mind filled with the thought that it was so delicious that I felt ecstasy.
After endlessly scooping ice cream with a spoon, when I finally came to my senses, I would be faced with the sight of the once giant and heavy pint container now significantly lighter, revealing the bottom.
Only then would I come to my senses, feeling as if I had been overwhelmed by my body, experiencing a sense of discomfort. I would dwell on the unpleasant feeling and then put the remaining ice cream back in the freezer.
This time, there were about five spoonfuls left. I firmly closed the lid, sucking on the spoon and pondered whether I should just finish the whole pint of ice cream, even though it was only five spoonfuls left.
As I was starting to head towards the refrigerator, my steps slowed down, almost like they were on the verge of coming to a halt.
No.
If I keep devouring mint chocolate recklessly like this, I might find myself ordering a whole pint of mint chocolate for the next month. I should at least try to maintain my self-control.
The spoon in my mouth had already started to taste metallic. Nevertheless, I couldn’t bring myself to spit it out. Closing my eyes tightly, I put the ice cream container into the freezer.
I’ll have it tomorrow, at least.
I’ll have it tomorrow, at least..
…
I must admit, as much as I hate to, the broadcast of Ark’s promotion match with mint chocolate was truly enjoyable. Even the process of achieving a 4-game winning streak was enjoyable to watch, to say the least.
Unfortunately, despite finishing the promotion match with a record of 1 win and 4 losses, Ark started her promotion match in the solo queue with a neat 3-game losing streak.
When she suffered her first defeat, she tried to hide her growing anxiety by interacting with the viewers, after her second loss, she declared that she would focus on the game and showcased master-level play, only to be defeated by the power of trolls, by the time the third loss was confirmed, she already had the eyes of someone who had half given up on the game, showing signs of wanting to rage quit.
But when she finally secured a victory in the queue she returned to due to the viewers’ demands, she had a forced look of hope while trying to suppress her own disappointment.
After her second win, she seemed hesitant to speak out of fear and pretended to focus on the game, from the third win onwards, her eyes were half-crazed, ready to sacrifice everything for victory. Will it come out? Will it?
If only the ending had been a little different, it would have been a perfect finale, but it was still a pretty satisfying broadcast of the promotion match.
… It would have been truly perfect if there were rogues in the game. Rogues didn’t show their faces in even one of the seven rounds.
Unlike the ice cream that arrives when you press a delivery button, the desire to see a game where rogues are active could not be easily satisfied.
For some reason, dodat also announced a hiatus after that day’s fierce battle and has not been broadcasting. The sense of accomplishment after a hard struggle is just not there.
As a result, after Ark’s broadcast ended, I found myself in a situation where I really had nothing to do for the first time in a while. Even the Russian female broadcaster I can’t pronounce the name of is not streaming. Maybe it’s because of the time difference…
Yeah.
This is exactly the time to do something when you have spare time. After groaning and suffering for a week, my condition has finally recovered to about 70%. Ah, this refreshing sensation.
It’s time for the resurgence of the rogue. Oh goddess, sing your song of rage.

If you win, you get a VR coupon worth 300,000 KRW for Warrior content OR the right to claim a naked dogeza (prostration).
You can choose to waive it if you want.
You can be exempt if you want, haha. However, if you lose, you have to write “Rogues are the best” three times in the forum.
Warriors themselves can also participate.
– Oh, gambling… How did it come to this point?
– Gambling, can’t we just do the naked dogeza and call it a day…?
– How long are you going to boast about winning once because of a damn bug, you crazy bastard.
– Log out of the gambling, narrow your perspective.
– No no, -click-
There are still so many unbelievers out there.”GetDevoured (Rogue): Next.”
– Rubie has been defeated!
“GetDevoured (Rogue) → Rubie (Holy Knight)”
“GetDevoured (Rogue): Next?”
“RollingThunder has been defeated!”
“GetDevoured (Rogue) → RollingThunder (Warrior)”
“GetDevoured (Rogue): Are you a priest user by any chance?”
“RollingThunder (Warrior): ? Why”
“GetDevoured (Rogue): No, it’s nothing”
“GetDevoured (Rogue): Next”
May righteous judgment be passed tenfold. Finally, the achievements of the Rogue Revival Movement have once again begun to emerge in the forum.

– Hey, were you the dumbass who got on a rogue’s nerves as a holy knight earlier?
– Why don’t you try it, you son of a b*tch?
– Why don’t you try it yourself?
– Ah, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. You try it, damn it, it’s ridiculous.
– Why do you keep picking fights alone even after getting beaten to death? Why not give up on the forum too?

– Stop the crap.
– Remember when the Master got wrecked and someone said who would go LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL.
– Who’s the Master that got wrecked?
– Dunno, just some Master who was a Holy Knight.
– What a jerk.
– Nah, weren’t you the one picking a fight earlier? I could beat you with my left hand alone without a shield.
– Nah, I’m not the holy knight who got owned by a rogue.
Devoted to the Rogue Revival Movement for about 5 hours. The forum was now dominated by ‘Rogues are the best’ and most users were fiery about rogues in other posts as well.
It’s been a long time since the filthy Warrior posts were eradicated. Yes. This is how the KoK forum should be. I nodded and stood up from my seat.
Today was truly a fulfilling day.
