NOVEL WEB Episode 10
“Wow…”
Anty, forgetting even to speak, just stared at my message with her mouth hanging open. The chat was the same. It made sense. I don’t think there’s ever been a case in internet streaming history where someone donated 10 million KRW ten times in a row.
..
Damn
100 million?
Wow
Anty, hold on tight, let’s go until the end.
Anty is broken right now, haha
Anty, get a grip.
Wow, Heart… It really feels like we’re living in different worlds.
Not just Great Heart, but King Heart, God Heart???
The broken Anty slowly started to come back. I wondered if maybe I had given her too much of a shock, considering she had been awake for 40 hours.
“Aaah… Aaaah! Thank you! Yes, Heart, it’s an honor. I’ll just follow you for the rest of my life. You know, right? The Beast Master’s unmatched, ultimate 1st-tier synergy buff! Call me whenever you need it, and I’ll run to give you the buff.”
Kya

[User ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 KRW!]
[The broken buff that increases final damage for 15 minutes and lasts even after leaving the party, wow. The buff is only taken and then the player is kicked out, haha.]
“Quiet!”
Hahaha
Hahaha
Rasa’s sad story) Some people sell Beast Master buffs to buy rice…
It was a coincidence, but I was a support and healer, a damage-dealing idol. And she was a Beast Master with that 1st-tier synergy buff.
The combination of the two worked well overall, but there was one thing to worry about—damage was lacking. But that could be solved with my money.
[User ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 KRW!]
[Looks like a pretty dangerous combination has been born… ]
For real, haha
For real…
Let’s aim for rank 1!
Rankers, you better watch out!
The goal for now is to reclaim the fastest record for Hard Fenrir on the entire server. But before that, there’s something even more urgent.
[Heart has donated 100,000 KRW!]
[You should really sleep soon…]
For real, haha
For real…
Anty’s going to die at this rate.
Heart’s looking out for her health too, wow.
“Yes, yes! I’m honestly feeling a bit out of it. Is this a dream or reality? Could it really be a dream? The hottest person lately, Heart, is telling me to go all the way. There’s no way he’s asking me to take down Odin, right?”
Hahaha
It’s real.
“Is it really real? When I wake up, I’m going to cry because it’s going to feel like such a sweet dream.”
Hahaha
She’s really losing it.
This is what happens when you stay up for 40 hours without sleeping.
No, seriously, sleep already!
“Hehe, just kidding. I’m truly grateful for everyone who came today, wow… 5,000 viewers. And I’m loyal to Heart for making this all possible!”
^^7

Kya

40 hours of broadcast elapsed.
Normally, a no-sleep broadcast includes sleeping time as well, but she didn’t sleep at all. For 40 hours straight, she kept rotating constellations. And the results finally paid off. When she wakes up, she’ll probably surprise us all again.
*
The next morning.
Was it because Anty had obtained the first-ever four-line Virgo constellation, which many thought was an unimplemented option? The community is still buzzing.
[Cyber News Article]
[Top Hot Article] “Spent 500 million won on one option?! Unimplemented? Submarine patch? It’s heating up! Ragnarok Saga: War with the Gods.”
“What’s this?”
An article about it?
Wow. Our Heart is now world-class. Meanwhile, the article’s comments are full of disbelief.
This is definitely a submarine patch, we need to make it public.
I checked the open API, and it wasn’t that.
Do you really believe that?
Is it right to spend 18 trillion and get an item option? They should give us some feed!
The submarine patch secretly made an unimplemented option appear… There were rumors about this for a while. What’s the gallery reaction?
[Ragnarok Saga Gallery]
If you missed Anty’s broadcast yesterday, how much have you missed out on in life?
It’s the morning I want to get 100 million shoved into my sleeve.
Anty’s surprisingly fun, haha
Who’s going to put 100 million in my pocket?
18 trillion? That’s like 500-600 million in real money, isn’t that enough to buy real estate?
.. Are we really going to just let this submarine situation slide? This feels a bit off.
Isn’t this a submarine patch?
Some people are happy selling for 3,500 per 1 million, while others are spending 6 million in real money…
Anty <<<< has been streaming Ragnarok Saga for over a year and is finally getting recognition, congrats!
How did she maintain that energy after 40 hours without sleep? Amazing. Being a kindergarten teacher isn’t something just anyone can do.
Anty’s surprisingly fun.
I’m just lying down playing right now, haha.
After watching Anty’s broadcast yesterday, I started thinking, what is life?
You’re telling me it costs 500 million to get one option, haha? What an idiot, I’d buy a house with that money.
Everyone’s just speaking their mind, it’s collective monologue at its finest. It’s typical Ragnarok Saga Gallery behavior.
“Ara ara.”
Is it my turn to step in?
The only one who can save the despairing Ragnarok Saga Gallery is the gallery owner, the well-liked ‘Asset100Trillion Yeo Ah jang.’
-[Asset100TrillionYeoAhJang]: First-ever four-line constellation and submarine patch, with unimplemented option controversies… shouldn’t we be given some feed here? (hint)
[Upvote +1]
[Upvote +2]
[Upvote +3]
…

Lately, my batting average is great.
I went and posted another comment.
“Hehe.”
Agreed
I support it
I support it
Hey, Yeo Ah jang, are you awake? Go mine some rice.
Seriously, haha, always consistent.
Come to think of it, you’re right?
Even a broken clock is right twice… Long live Yeo Ah jang.
Exactly! Ragnarok Saga, give us some feed!
Yeo Ah jang! Yeo Ah jang! Yeo Ah jang!
With my one sentence, the Ragnarok Saga Gallery came back to life. That’s all it took.
[Ragnarok Saga Play]
Anty and Heart’s little spark… The management needs to give an immediate explanation!
▅▇█▇▆▅▄▇ Explain the probability manipulation! Explain the submarine patch!
Is the submarine patch controversy real? Is it possible to implement an option that was supposed to be unimplemented?
▅▇█▇▆▅▄▇
We’re going into the 0 KRW challenge until a proper explanation comes out.
I’m joining the 0 KRW challenge.
▅▇█▇▆▅▄▇ Is it right that after spending 600 million, the four-line Virgo only appears with a submarine patch? Something’s off!
▅▇█▇▆▅▄▇
“Wow.”
This place is really burning up.
On top of that, Anty, who got as much attention as I did. I hope she doesn’t take any drastic steps. She hates revealing her real name and posting, so I didn’t stir things up in the game.
The submarine patch controversy, spending 500 million in real money on one option, 40 hours without sleep, constellations, and so on. How will the management respond to this?
As I kept watching the never-ending heat in the Ragnarok Saga community, the morning quickly passed, and before I knew it, it was noon, and Anty’s broadcast was on.
[Broadcast Title: Is this a dream… or not?]
[Anty]
[Viewer Count: 1,000]
“Wow. What’s going on? I just started the broadcast, and we already have 1,000 people in here?”
Anty!
Anty!
Kya, huge rise!
Congrats!
You’re on fire!
“Haha. I was so happy yesterday, and today I’m waking up to the same joy. Just a few days ago, when I started the broadcast, it took about 5 or 10 minutes for one or two people to join.”
TT TT TT
Anty Nuna…
I’m so sad.
“Look at me now, everyone! Don’t give up! The seeds you plant will eventually bloom.”
Kya
Kya
Great Anty
Even sharing wisdom
[User ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 KRW!]
[Watching this, I deleted Ragnarok Saga.]
“Huh? Huh?”
Hahaha
Kya
Anty saved someone.
[User ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 KRW!]
[The community is in chaos, saying it was secretly released through the submarine patch… If there’s no explanation, public opinion might turn.]
“Still, in this day and age, do you really think they’d manipulate the probabilities? I mean, Heart also got the four-line Virgo. Maybe the odds were just really bad…”
[User ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 KRW!]
[Huh? Anty, there’s an announcement.]
“Huh?”
What’s this trolling?
Wait, is this for real?
Is it really true?
I quickly opened another window.

[Ragnarok Saga Gallery]
The players here are so reliable, haha
It’s about time we get some feed… guys, we’re getting tired here.
How is someone like this even in the director’s seat?
Will the promised 2 o’clock show up?!
“What’s going on…”
A few minutes before the official announcement, the director of Ragnarok Saga gathered the developers to discuss things.
“Are we sure it wasn’t probability manipulation? And that there wasn’t a submarine patch?”
“Yes, Director. Everything’s fine. It was just an extremely low probability… it was almost unbelievable…”
“Thank goodness.”
As the number of gamers increased and the gaming industry market expanded, playing with probabilities these days can cause a massive uproar.
The director was well aware of this and managed everything meticulously. There’s no way a game would subtly lower probabilities like that.
But if there was even a bug, it could have been disastrous.
Even if that wasn’t the case, imagine if Heart had failed to get the four-line Virgo? The thought of it was too terrifying to even consider.
In a way, Heart was a benefactor.
A hero who proved that the unimplemented option wasn’t actually unimplemented and helped boost the game’s revenue. More players would likely be inspired to start spinning constellations now.
“It’s scary in a different way. People are spending money until they break through those impossible odds. To think, there are people like that playing our game…”
“That’s right. The same person who spent 500 million on a nickname, too.”
They seemed like someone far beyond the usual whale players who spend cash. We couldn’t afford to miss this person.
“Make sure they don’t quit. Push the idols for them. Don’t nerf the four-line Virgo option either.”
They would probably remain the only one with that option on the server.
A user who had the four-line Virgo, the most unique option among valid constellations.
“Is it really okay to not do a balance patch?”
“Balance patch? Ha…”
The director took a deep drag from the cigarette in his hand and exhaled. The developer fell silent.
The director briefly pondered.
The sudden submarine patch allegations, the probability manipulation controversy. As the saying goes, ‘crisis is opportunity.’
Resolving all the doubts with solid evidence.
But that wasn’t enough; they also aimed to turn public opinion in their favor.
[We will continue to operate Ragnarok Saga: War with the Gods transparently, so everyone can enjoy playing.]
[A gift of thanks for all.]
With generous rewards.
[Ragnarok Saga Play]
.. this is a pretty clear explanation. I’ll cancel my 0 KRW challenge.
That was a neat explanation. After breaking through those impossible odds, Heart getting the four-line Virgo makes them even more impressive…
The best director of this era.
Director, you are a god! Praise Heart!
[Ragnarok Saga Gallery]
The ones who are good always end up getting frustrated…
This feed is amazing. New, returning, and existing users all covered, and they even took care of public opinion. What else could be left?
Who’s sending a coffee truck?
The snowball that rolled after Heart got the four-line Virgo is really rolling now, wow~
Heart<<<<< If you’re craving a kiss, downvote.
Let’s keep going like this.
Public opinion had already shifted, now praising the management and Heart.
