– What was that earlier…?
– This ti, it definitely was’t magic.
– How can soone wield such power in reality?
– He used Ki back then, didn’t he?
– What kind of gift does he possess?
A player’s abilities are constrained in reality from as low as 50 percent to as high as 90 percent and thats why those who knew this, the power of ‘force’ displayed by Seong Jihan was shocking.
‘A power that can turn a business card into dust in just 10 seconds in reality..’
‘He might be able to destroy an opponent’s organs instantlyinside the ga’
‘No, even without destroying anything, just piercing a hole sowhere vital could result in a fatal injury.’
The representatives of the teenage guild that participated in the auction were amazed by Seong Jihan’s displayed power.
Bronze League player Seong Jihan…
While he had achieved impressive results in the league so far, the risk of being the brother-in-law of the Sword King had made guilds hesitate to offer him a contract. However, his unique ability was attractive enough to outweigh this risk.
‘Even if he’s a Bronze who hasn’t revealed his status window so far…‘His track record is good, and he possesses special abilities. We must recruit him.’
The guild representatives had co to the auction to seek Seong Jihan rather than the auction items.
But among them, one person was particularly eager.
“That power… it’s real.”
It was Takeda, whose business card had been torn right in front of them.
– Ha..The 4th-ranked guild in the world has been rejected by a Bronze league player.
– The baldy is pissed.
Takeda was sweating with a flushed face as if it were raining.
From the view captured by the cara, it seed like he was angry about the business card being torn by Seong Jihan, but in reality…
“Ah…!”
It wasn’t the case.
Watching Seong Jihan turn the business card into dust, he was celebrating internally.
‘To think he’d completely turn it into dust.’
He sensed sothing great in how he used that mysterious energy.
‘Mr. Seong… I’m definitely going to recruit you.’
Takeda’s eyes were shining with greed.
‘I’ll have a eting with you. Then, I’ll be able to have you… Hehe.’
Takeda was sure that one eting was all he needed.
To do that, he first needed to win his favor.
The chat flooded Seong Jihan’s channel after Takeda’s expression.
– Ugh, why does that guy’s facial expression look like that?
– He seems like a pervert…
– Soone get rid of him.
– All the disgusting ones are here…
As Takeda smirked and descended with a smug smile, the cara captured the mont. At that mont, everyone in the chatroom united in agreent.
However, the temporarily peaceful chatroom of Seong Jihan’s channel…
[★☆Take-chan☆★ has donated 10,000 GP.]
“Seong Ssang~~ It was nice eting you today. ^ω^; Next ti, let’s definitely et face-to-face in a 1:1 chat. ★☆! If you unblock private ssages, I’ll donate even more…! Your eternal fan, Take-chan♥”
When “Take-chan” sent a donation ssage, chaos erupted once again.
– Take-chan? Could it be…
– Is it the baldy from earlier?
– Wow, sending ten million won.
– The first donation ssage on this channel is from a Japanese person.”
– Why is this old man’s ssage so creepy…?
Upon receiving a donation, Seong Jihan paused for a mont.
Although he couldn’t see the ssages from regular people in Seong Jihan’s chat due to the block, he could see the donation ssage. Thus, he could also read the ssage Takeda had written while sending 10,000 GP.
[Received a donation of 10,000 GP.]
[Cleared the regular achievent, ‘Steadfast Support (1).’ ]
[Obtained 1000 achievent points as a reward.]
He gained GP and even earned achievent points.
Looking at the results alone, it could be called a windfall. However…
‘My channel’s first donation is from Take-chan, or rather, Takeda…’
A slight furrow appeared on Seong Jihan’s forehead.
Such a first-ti donation remains in the records for a long ti.
Especially for a player like Seong Jihan who aims to beco the world’s top-ranked player.
“I should have set a lower limit.”
On that day, Seong Jihan regretted his actions for the first ti.
* * *
After the auction ended.
“Mr. Seong Jihan, I’m Kim Jin-hwan, a scout from the Turtle Guild. Could I have a mont to talk?”
“Mr. Seong Jihan.”
“I was deeply impressed by your earlier performance.”
Originally, the participants who had intended to purchase Yoon Sejin’s item had all gathered around him but impressed by the performance of turning the business card into dust a little while ago, they were people who wanted to recruit Seong Jihan.
Among them were scouts from the teenage guilds and even quite famous players.
If another Bronze player were in this situation, they would be inevitably excited. However…
‘I have no intention of joining a guild. It’s so annoying.’
Seong Jihan found it botherso.
Still, he couldn’t be as adamantly dismissive as he had been to Takeda earlier.
“Thank you.”
“As you can see, I’m still a bit confused, so joining a guild is a bit…”
Seong Jihan struggled to decline the guild invitation gently.
“Huh.”
And when Yoon Seah received the cara from Park Yoon-sik, she saw his expression and couldn’t help but inwardly smile.
His expression,Though he had the face of a polite young man, it was clear that he was annoyed to death.
“I have to help him, it’s the only way.”
With a slightly despondent look, she approached Seong Jihan.
“Uncle…”
Her voice trailed off, her face slightly quivering.
Seeing her like this, Seong Jihan was surprised and quickly went over to her.
“Seah, What happened? What’s wrong?”
“Uncle, I… today has been really tough for . Can we just go ho now?” While saying this, Yoon Seah winked slightly.
Seeing her acting, Seong Jihan caught on and gave her a faint smile. He promptly responded to her acting.
“Really? I apologize, scouts. My niece seems to be in quite a bad condition today.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Since she had a lot going on today…”
“Yes, then we’ll hear your words another ti. Sorry.”
After a hurried farewell, Seong Jihan quickly took Yoon Seah and left the event hall.
“Uncle, I did well, didn’t I? I put on a special act because you looked so annoyed.”
“…Yeah, you did well.”
He rembered Yoon Seah’s slightly trembling face. Though it was more like an understated sobbing rather than acting. Until just before Yoon Seah winked, he had really wondered what had happened.
“Great acting… I guess.”
Seong Jihan gently stroked Yoon Seah’s head.
“Still, I was worried.”
“Really? Uncle,You worry too much. Even though I look like this, I’m the student council president at school.”
Yoon Seah looked up at his hand as if she didn’t quite like it, but she didn’t tell him to remove it.
“Uncle, be careful. It seems you’ll fall for any girl that tears up a bit.”
“Don’t worry. Your uncle has mastered understanding won’s emotions.”
“Hmph, you only watched Battle Net at ho… What you’ve learned through video gas doesn’t count.”
As they walked side by side in the elevator, they shared a friendly mont.
Ding-dong.
Two won who had been standing in front of the elevator approached them.
“You two have a really good relationship.”
“…?”
A dazzlingly beautiful woman and a tall female bodyguard following her.
Seong Jihan’s eyebrows twitched because he recognized one of them.
‘So Lim Gayeong is working as a bodyguard these days.’
Yoon Seah asked with a bewildered expression.
“…Who are they?”
“Hello! Miss Yoon Seah and Mr. Seong Jihan. I’m Lee Hayeon, the third departnt head at Divergent Guild.”
“Head..?”
“Doesn’t ‘head’ seem too young for ?”
“Yes…”
“Hehe, that’s because I was parachuted in.”
In response to Yoon Seah’s question, she casually referred to herself as a “parachute.”
If she entered the Divergent Guild as a “parachute,” then there might be so connection between her and the parent company, The Divergent Corporation.
From her family na, it could be inferred that Lee Hayeon had so connection with the The Divergent Corporation, even though it wasn’t clear how much.
“But…”
Seong Jihan stared at Lee Hayeon’s face.
A face more beautiful than most celebrities on TV. She, who held both looks and wealth, exuded confidence in her deanor. However, what caught Seong Jihan’s attention wasn’t just her confident beauty
“This person… Where have I seen her before?”
Lee Hayeon…The na was not in his mory, but the appearance, the self-assured attitude, and the voice.For so reason, it seed familiar.
With such an impression, it might be soone he had t during his ti in the United States…
‘Who is she?’
anwhile, as Seong Jihan stared at her intensely, a smile deepened on Lee Hayeon’s lips.
She slowly parted her lips and spoke softly.
“Mr. Seong Jihan, I was truly impressed by your recent performance. Especially because I was a subscriber to your previous channel, the experience was novel for .”
“I was a subscriber to my previous channel?”
“Yes, I’ve been a longti fan since you started making predictions on Battle Net matches. I’ve been astonished by your keen judgnt more than once… I could never have imagined that you would beco such an exceptional player.”
Guesser of the victory, Mr. Seong.
This channel had been the one that sustained Seong Jihan during his previous life’s extre situation.
Seong Jihan, with a record-breaking success rate of 62 percent in match predictions.
People flocked to see his match predictions, and through this, Seong Jihan was able to make a coback.
‘However, at this ti, there are very few people who would know about this channel.’
Unless soone is a fan of match predictions to a fanatic degree, they might not even know of this channel’s existence.
To subscribe to this…
Suddenly, soone ca to mind for Seong Jihan.
A woman who loved gambling more than anyone else but always ended up failing. A woman who possessed one of the world’s rarest ‘gifts.’
“No way…”
Seong Jihan stared intensely at Lee Hayeon.
“Ah, Uncle!”
Yoon Seah nudged his waist with her elbow and gave him a aningful look.
Just a while ago, he was boasting about mastering won’s hearts, so why was he suddenly at a loss for words?
‘Hehe, it’s okay.’
Lee Hayeon smiled leisurely and gently stroked her own face.
That gesture was exactly the sa as ‘her.’
‘I might need to test this out once.’
Seong Jihan slowly opened his mouth.
“While the world is full of possibilities, it is difficult to ignore that.”
“…Yes?”
A famous quote by Dostoevsky, a great writer, better known for his gambling addiction.
When Seong Jihan suddenly ntioned this, Lee Hayeon’s smile montarily stiffened.
“This is your motto, right, Ms. Lee Hayeon?”
“Oh my… Hoho. You’re being a bit much for a first eting. I’m not even a gambling addict or anything.”
Lee Hayeon tried to smile despite hearing that, but…
“…How did you know?”
Lim Gayeong, who had been standing behind her guarding her, now stood in front of her.
“How did you know sothing she says all the ti?”
“Gayoung, no. I didn’t do anything like that.”
“Could you be… a stalker?”
“Ga…Young. Ah… I didn’t do anything.”
Although the young woman’s words didn’t reach his ears, Lim Gayeong glared at Seong Jihan with a stern look.
Seeing that, Seong Jihan could feel his speculations falling into place.
Although it was still early to be certain, if Lee Hayeon was indeed ‘her’…
Seong Jihan’s eyes sharpened.
‘She’s soone I must recruit on my side.’
Manager Zero.
A woman who, despite being an immigrant, beca the leader of the Arican First Guild’s 2nd Division due to her unique gift.
The Lee Hayeon that Seong Jihan knew was none other than Zero, a woman with an outstanding ability.
