NOVEL WEB Chapter 182 - Is He a God? (1)
Chapter 182 Is He a God? (1)
“Damn dragon.”
Breath attacks rained down from various angles.
I had forgotten that this game was a fantasy genre, but now I understood why it was a fantasy.
Because there were dragons!
Just as a gangster appearing makes a film noir, the appearance of a dragon definitely makes it fantasy.
Yeah, I admitted it.
But wasn’t this way too vicious?
Without giving me any time to prepare, an absurd pattern had begun as we neared the end.
I glared at the breaths pouring down on me.
Out of all those breaths, only a few could actually hit me.
The rest were just visuals.
Of course, if they touched me, I would take damage, but I had to take comfort in the fact that not many of those breaths were likely to hit me.
Oh, and there was one more fortunate point.
“The path of the breath is straight.”
The breaths didn’t curve.
If I were the developer, I would have added a homing feature to the breaths.
Why?
Because if there were a homing feature, it would have been impossible to beat.
But it seemed the developers had a shred of conscience left, as the breaths only rained down quickly.
– I’ll donate 100,000 won if you don’t get hit by a single breath, lol
– Isn’t 100,000 won a safe asset?
– Wow, lol, but this pattern is vicious just watching it
– The developers are crazy
– Dw about the fantasy genre
– There’s no normalcy, none at all
– But why does it seem like our evil guy could beat this?
– ???
– Look at our evil guy’s face?
– Ah!!! He’s smiling!!!
– This man… is first-class
The chat was in chaos, but I felt calmer than ever.
Was it true that when a person feels extreme anger, they actually become calm?
Moreover, my brain, which I hadn’t used much lately, began to function at its peak.
I classified the breaths I needed to pay attention to among the numerous breaths and immediately calculated their trajectories.
It was something I had done thousands of times during my
Recognizing the opponent’s attack pattern and then exploiting the gap was like my bread and butter.
This case was much easier than during the Gaia days.
Apocalypse Dragon.
Compared to the horrendous patterns of that guy, this Snow Mountain Dragon was merely a passing breeze.
If Apocalypse Dragon’s death breath was a homing missile, then this was just a simple direct fire.
Ssssssk.
I jumped lightly.
Just enough to dodge the breaths.
Like that, I moved one step.
I squeezed my body between four breaths and jumped, and the breaths barely brushed past me.
The breath slightly touched me, but aside from my clothes freezing, there were no major problems.
In other words, as long as it didn’t hit me directly, there was no significant issue.
As I successfully jumped between the breaths, the chat window was filled with countless hooks.
– ???
– ????????
– ???????????????
– How did he do that, damn
– What did I just see?
– Did you see it? Was it a fluke? What was it? Tell us quickly!!!
“What fluke? This isn’t hard. You just calculate the breath trajectories, dodge the ones that will hit, and weave through. If you know the method, even an elementary school student can do it.”
– Ah, lol
– If it’s an elementary school student in 2070 with genetically modified brains, maybe, haha;;;
– Should this be called physical skill or brain skill?
– Are you a member of Mensa?
– The strongest high school graduate, wow
– Shia has gone crazy
– He’s always been like this
Bluffing was essential.
I knew that what I just did was an unbelievable play.
But I succeeded and did it.
That was enough.
As long as you prove it, any bluff becomes the truth.
I glanced at the chat window, then held my breath again and looked at the next breaths.
And, just like before, I squeezed my body between the breaths.
This time, if I jumped straightforwardly, I would have been hit, so I had to twist my body to the left in mid-air to dodge it.
Twisting your body in mid-air while jumping?
That wouldn’t work in reality.
But this game was.
“Fantasy, after all.”
It was possible because it was fantasy.
Whether bending my body or teleporting instantly.
It was a game and a fantasy genre, so anything was possible.
I kept climbing up with a smile. If even one breath hit me, a terrible thing would happen, but I welcomed this thrill.
It was a different kind of thrill from what you get in a horror game.
Games should be challenging to feel the satisfaction of conquering them.
That was my original mindset.
Overcoming difficult games stylishly, being confident in any game.
Since I hadn’t shown this side of myself much in broadcasts, I felt even better.
This was how it was originally.
Running uniquely in games others found difficult, finally conquering them.
Just like when I gained fame on Dong-su’s brother’s broadcast for the first time, this time was no different.
I looked at the Snow Mountain Dragons glaring at me from the high peak as if they were about to kill me.
Then I lightly gave them a fist bump and said,
“Put your dragon snout right here.”
Now, it was time to reach the peak.
2.
[The world will surely praise your play that overcame the dragon’s rage.]
[Congratulations! You are the first in the world to clear
[Player
[Challenge success! Leave your phone number, and we will contact you about the prize as soon as possible…]
“Wow, it’s finally over.”
I saw the ending.
What was the ending?
It was very simple.
The scene showed me ascending to the sky, receiving a shower of light at the peak of the snow mountain.
Becoming the god of jumps and rising to the sky, or something like that.
The story was insignificant. The ending was honestly the worst among the games I had played.
But after clearing it, a sense of relief and pride washed over me.
It wasn’t just because I cleared it.
‘NationalisticMissionMan’ donated 1,000,000 won!
[Wow, lol, you actually did it, lol, respect, seriously, lol]
‘JumpEmperorCommandCenter’ donated 100,000 won!
[WTF!!!! God…… God!!!]
‘Streamer Kan’ donated 100,000 won!
[No, you started later than me, but why am I still at stage 3! Damn~~~~~~X! Come over to my place later and give me some advice. I feel like I’m going to smash my capsule!]
Generous donations continued to pour in endlessly, and the chat window was on the verge of exploding.
– Bartender! Close the shutters!! We’re gonna drink it all here tonight!
– Proud to be Korean
– Damn, that was amazing! This guy, with games, is just too good!
– POG
– すご-い
– How many languages are in this chat room, lol
– I don’t know!! This is true national prestige!
Such a satisfying reaction.
Yeah, if I clear the game properly, this kind of reaction is just right to make me happy.
I knew well how to speak to leave an impact at times like this.
That’s through bluffing.
After doing well, bluffing makes the viewers tremble, and the video becomes more interesting.
“But why are you all making such a fuss? This is me. The monster that is me. Got it now? This stuff is way too easy. Okay? EZ GAME, understand?”
For the foreign viewers, I threw in some English to sound as sophisticated as possible.
The chat window ignited as if gasoline had been poured on it, and the viewers started going wild.
– lololol
– This bastard nodding like it’s obvious right after seeing the ending makes me want to punch him so bad
– lol Acting like a world-class, it’s so funny
– Honestly, his acting like world-class is disgusting
– EZ GAME
– Shia, is he a god? Shia, is he a god? Shia, is he a god? Shia, is he a god? Shia, is he a god? Shia, is he a god?
– I also want to bluff like that ㅠㅠ
The real money-making timing had started.
Even without the prize money from the game company, the income was immensely lucrative.
Donations kept pouring in.
This is the power of being first.
The sweet taste of capitalism that comes from being the first to reach the top in any game.
And that wasn’t all.
‘Streamer Cerberus’ donated 1,000,000 won!
[Life really sucks]
“Oh, this 1 million won donation from Heosu is so sweet.”
The 1 million won donation from Heosu was sweeter than any other donation.
Why did he even challenge me?
“Because the opponent is me?”
Engrossed in the donations, I hadn’t noticed, but the number of viewers had already surpassed 110,000.
For not playing
Moreover, looking at the viewer distribution, my broadcast was being watched all over the world.
I heard that some foreign streamer was intentionally co-broadcasting my stream, but Sung-jae would probably take care of that.
Anyway.
So came the time of sweet rewards, and as I ended the game, I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet fruit.
While playing, it was excruciatingly painful, but now that the game was over, I felt genuinely refreshed.
This is the real taste of gaming.
A game with extreme difficulty, the sense of achievement when it’s over is indescribable.
Just like now.
Whew.
At least I got good content and the video will do well on Mituve.
I smiled with satisfaction and gave a sly smile towards the viewers.
“I made some mistakes since it was my first time, but next time, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll try a speedrun.”
Since I had experienced the game with my body, I could always speedrun it, but not today.
I was too mentally exhausted.
One thing for sure, this game was much more annoying and frustrating than I had expected.
If this was what the developers aimed for, they made a really good game.
Because it even made me lose my temper.
– Speedrun, lol
– But the developers must be shocked too, right?
– Did you see the last pattern before the ending? It didn’t seem like it was made for humans to clear
– Breaking news: World’s No.1 American streamer blown away to the starting village
– lolololololol
– This game is really crazy
– They made it well, lol
– National prestige, I admit it! Korea, the gaming powerhouse!
– Getting drunk on national pride today too!
I unintentionally boarded the national pride coin!
That’s why broadcasting is so great.
Even if I don’t have any intention, the viewers create an image on their own.
Thus, the broadcast of that day ended very smoothly, and I happily ended the stream with 12 million won in donations.
I could not only eat Hanwoo beef, but I could stuff myself with the highest quality.
Ring, ring, ring.
It was when I had just ended the broadcast.
“Yes, Sung-jae.”
– Haha! Congratulations on becoming the god of jumps! I watched everything live… It was really thrilling. You worked really hard.
Sung-jae’s call rang out.
At first, I thought it was just a congratulatory call.
But after a moment, a rather appetizing story came from the other side of the phone.
– We got a call from a public TV station. They really want to invite you, Chan-sik.
