Chapter 200
War of the Gods 2 had beco a globally beloved ga.
No, to those who had awakened as hunters, it was indispensable.
The stats and skills acquired in this ga carried over into reality.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that everyone in the world was playing War of the Gods 2.
The ga wielded trendous influence.
Six months after its release, players began to wonder about one thing.
The identities of the Twelve Stars were almost completely unveiled.
Except for one.
The Blood Lord.
The grand heir of the Rehinar family.
Kane Rehinar was the only one no one had ever encountered.
As players progressed through the ga, they discovered one more fact.
Just like Ray Hatzfeld, Kane Rehinar was also an ordinary player, not a npc.
Apart from the rumor that he had been a player in the Ga’s first part alongside Ray Hatzfeld, little else was known.
Players, driven by curiosity, started lingering around the Rehinar family’s territory.
So sneaked in like thieves.
Others charged in openly.
But the result was always the sa: imprisonnt.
Rehinar’s military was the strongest in Fresia.
There were even rumors that if Rehinar ever mobilized their forces, the imperial palace would be crushed.
That’s how powerful they were.
And yet, players kept trying to infiltrate Rehinar’s domain.
It beca a point of pride for players in the ga.
To catch a glimpse of Kane Rehinar had beco a challenge in itself.
Even the strategy forums were flooded with posts about it.
"To pass through Rehinar, you need to build favorability with the Guardian Knights. A minimum of 80 favorability, or Revered status, is required."
"You can also join the Emperor Isaac’s Black Heavenly Guard and rank within the top two units. Then, you’ll gain access to the heart of the Rehinar estate."
Players furiously criticized these newly posted strategies:
"What, is this harder than entering the imperial palace?"
"What the heck is this place?"
"Is it normal for entry into a ducal estate to be harder than the imperial castle?"
"No, no, the imperial palace is supposed to be harder."
"So why is Rehinar like this?"
Eventually, the frustration of the players reached a boiling point.
The difficulty level of War of the Gods 2 was rated as extre.
It was comparable to or slightly easier than its predecessor.
What kept players engaged was not choosing pre-set characters but raising their own avatars.
This persistent progression system, despite the high difficulty, was why players didn’t quit.
But!
Only in the Rehinar estate did quests abruptly halt.
At certain quest milestones, players were supposed to et Kane Rehinar at least once.
Yet, no matter how much they scoured the ga, Kane Rehinar was nowhere to be found.
"Damn it, fuck this shit."
"What kind of amazing reward could possibly justify this kind of difficulty?"
"Soone contact SG Gas."
"You think no one's tried? Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of complaints have already been sent."
"And what was their response?"
"'We can’t disclose that information.'"
"What kind of stupid company is this? Is this ga a joke to them?"
At that mont, soone joined the conversation.
"You think awakening powers is a joke? You ants, who didn't have a shred of talent, were turned into actual humans, and now you’re insulting your benefactor?"
"What are you, a ga developer?"
"I’m just another player like you, dumbass."
"Then shouldn't you be on our side? You probably got stuck here too."
"There’s more to the ga than just Rehinar quests. Let make this clear for you. Give up on trying to et Kane Rehinar. He’s not soone trash like you can et. Even Seo Yoona got kicked out, so what makes you think losers like you can see him?"
"Seo Yoona? You an the leader of the Soul Guild?"
"Are you saying even Seo Yoona, the strongest hunter in our country, couldn’t et Kane Rehinar?"
"That makes no sense! This is a ga synced with reality. With her strength, she should’ve been able to force her way through to him."
In response to their disbelief, a man sitting in a dark room let out a chuckle, his hands flying over a holographic keyboard.
He looked like he was having the ti of his life.
"That woman was defeated by Gillip Tegelo."
"What?!"
"You’re lying."
"I’m reporting this for spreading false information."
"Another troll wasting our ti."
"Ugh, I feel pathetic for even engaging with this idiot."
Just as people were about to leave the strategy board’s chatroom, soone noticed sothing.
"Wait, where have I seen that userna before?"
"It does seem familiar."
"Oh, oh, oh?!"
"Damn it, if that’s the 'Reckless Spender,' it’s Ray Hatzfeld!"
"!?!"
"?????"
"Why is soone like him showing up here?"
"Isn’t that an imposter?"
"No way, that’s Reckless Spender. That ID is the real deal."
"It’s possible to sync your account to the strategy board like that."
"Whoa."
"Is it really him?"
"This is the first ti I’ve seen King Hatzfeld enter a strategy chatroom."
The users, who had been cursing monts earlier, started greeting Reckless Spender.
He was the second-ranked player in War of the Gods 2.
It was only natural for them to be in awe.
This ranking system even included NPCs.
He ranked higher than Isaac von Fresia, the Emperor of Fresia.
Naturally, all eyes were on him.
"I’m a Hatzfeld royal too!"
"Are you really him?"
"Please say sothing."
"If you know how to beat Rehinar, could you share so tips?"
A shadowy figure watched the screen.
Min Kyungsoo chuckled softly.
“Heh, so this is why Chanyul liked gaming so much? It feels amazing to be recognized like this.”
It felt better than being treated as "Chairman."
These were awakened players from War of the Gods 2.
Even the praise of nobodies felt satisfying.
“Should I give them a hint or not?”
Min Kyungsoo hesitated for a mont, then began typing on his holographic keyboard.
There was a way to et Kane Rehinar quickly.
Reckless Spender: Rehinar’s worker...
A ssage popped up in the chat.
But it seed to have been cut off midway.
"Worker what?"
"Please hurry and say the next part!"
"I’m dying of frustration!"
"Argh! The ssage isn’t coming through!"
[Reckless Spender has left the chatroom.]
"Say it all before you leave!"
"Rehinar’s worker? What cos after that?"
"Hmm..."
The players spent the entire day trying to decipher the aning of what Min Kyungsoo had said.
* * *
“What are you doing?”
“Ahhh!”
Min Kyungsoo jumped in surprise.
The lights in the dark room flicked on.
Han Chanyul had appeared silently, startling Min Kyungsoo.
“Could you at least make so noise when you walk around? You almost gave a heart attack.”
“You were so focused on the chat that you didn’t notice .”
“How did you know I was chatting?”
“You always do this when you turn off the lights.”
“You... knew about that?”
“Of course. It’s hard not to notice.”
“Did you see what I was writing?”
Min Kyungsoo glanced nervously at Han Chanyul, gauging his reaction.
“I didn’t look at the screen, so I wouldn’t know that much.”
“Phew.”
Min Kyungsoo let out a deep sigh, relief washing over his face.
Seeing this, Han Chanyul asked, “Did you do sothing weird?”
“No!”
“You’re overreacting.”
“Of course not.”
Min Kyungsoo shook his head vigorously.
What a transparent guy.
His thoughts were practically written on his face.
No wonder he kept losing to Chanyul in the ga.
“Anyway, why are you here?”
“Grandma said she’s coming up, so I was going to go et her.”
“Then I’ll go with you.”
“Why would you?”
“She’s your grandma, so we should make sure she’s comfortable. Should I book a hotel for her while she’s in Seoul? No, wait. She might as well stay here with us.”
“Why are you making such a fuss?”
“Well, if she’s your grandma, then she’s like a grandma to too. Obviously, we need to treat her well.”
Min Kyungsoo got up and grabbed his coat.
“Let’s go quickly. We can’t keep her waiting.”
“Are you seriously suggesting she stay here?”
“Where else could be more comfortable than here? Ah, but traveling from Seoul Terminal to Pangyo by car might be inconvenient. To minimize the hassle, maybe we should go to her instead.”
Min Kyungsoo pulled out his phone and made a quick call.
After a brief conversation, he hung up and grabbed Han Chanyul’s wrist.
“Stop standing there like a statue. Let’s go. If only we had teleportation magic, this would all be so much easier. Too bad neither of us are wizards.”
With Kyungsoo dragging him along, they headed to the Seoul Express Bus Terminal.
As people got off the bus, Chanyul’s eyes landed on a familiar figure.
“Grandma!”
Once again, his grandmother arrived with bags packed full.
"You're already busy with work. Why did you co all the way to pick up?"
"Just because."
Han Chanyul smiled as he took the bags from her.
Min Kyungsoo quickly bowed at a 90-degree angle and greeted her.
"Hello, Grandma!"
"And who might you be?"
"Haha, I'm Min Kyungsoo, Chanyul's closest hyung."
"Oh my, I didn't know my grandson had such a dependable older brother!"
"Haha, please feel free to speak comfortably. You can think of as your own grandson."
"I'm not sure if I can do that."
"Chanyul and I are like real brothers, so it's completely fine."
"Thank you for being close to my Chanyul. He never goes out, so I've been really worried."
She knew her grandson better than anyone.
She was well aware that outside of work, he spent all his ti at ho playing gas.
And that he had no friends.
But now, seeing his close hyung being so polite and well-mannered, she was relieved.
"Don't worry. These days, Chanyul goes out quite a lot."
"Really?"
Under his grandmother's gaze, Chanyul nodded.
"It's true. I've been spending more ti outside lately."
"Oh my, it must be thanks to this hyung."
"Haha, I did put in so effort."
Min Kyungsoo gently led the grandmother as they walked slowly.
His sociable nature seed to have completely won her over.
She couldn’t stop smiling.
"On my way here, I saw on TV that playing gas can awaken special abilities. Is that true?"
"That's what everyone is saying these days. And yes, it's real."
"They even said that if an old person plays, their weak legs could heal. Is that true?"
"It's true. I can vouch for it."
"Then... do you think I could do it too?"
She asked hesitantly.
Just the cost of the gaming equipnt was a lot, so she was being mindful of her grandson.
"I'll get you the best equipnt. In fact, I'll get you a special set from my company. Sounds good, right, Chanyul?"
At Kyungsoo's words, Chanyul turned to his grandmother.
"Why do you suddenly want to play gas? Is it because of your legs?"
"Even after going to the hospital, my legs aren’t getting any better. It just keeps costing more money… But they say that if you enter that world of gods or whatever, even old folks can beco healthy again. So I wanted to give it a try."
"It's dangerous in there. It feels just like reality. If you get hurt, the pain is real too. And if sothing goes wrong… you could even die."
"I'd like to try it… if you’ll allow ."
Chanyul understood his grandmother's heart.
She didn’t want to burden him with her condition.
‘I never even considered this… With my power, I could have healed her legs in no ti.’
He blad himself.
He had been too content with just saving his grandmother’s life.
Sensing the somber mood, Min Kyungsoo raised the energy.
“As long as you and I are there, your grandmother will be perfectly safe in the ga, right?”
He patted Han Chanyul’s shoulder.
“Since we’re already talking about it, let’s log in right now. Grandma, once you put on this ring, a screen will appear in front of you. Don’t be too surprised.”
Following Kyungsoo’s instructions, Grandma put on the ring and entered War of the Gods 2.
A newfound vitality shone in her eyes.
One of the ga’s key benefits—
It allowed the elderly and those with disabilities to experience their younger, healthier bodies again.
“Chanyul, log in too. If you order Rehinar to protect your grandmother, she’ll have more freedom to move around. I’ll make sure Hartzfeld knows as well.”
“Thanks.”
“This is exactly the kind of feature you wanted, isn’t it? I’m happy to help.”
Chanyul let out a small laugh.
An enemy he once fought against—
Now standing by his side, helping him in his daily life.
He was truly grateful.
“Grandma’s logged in. Hurry up and get in.”
“Got it.”
[Launching War of the Gods 2]
[Would you like to connect to Kane Rehinar? (Y/N)]
[Would you like to connect to Ray Hatzfeld? (Y/N)]
“Yes.”
“Connecting.”
With smiles on their faces, the two entered Teverland.
Not to maintain the link between Teverland and the real world—
But for one purpose alone: ensuring Grandma’s health and safety.
[November 11, 2026]
People would never forget this day.
It was the first ti Kane Rehinar appeared before the players.
