[This guy's nickname from today is 'Romantic Dive' (投身) (Likes: 1,352)]
-Not the God of War (鬪神), but literally throwing himself into romance (投身), yeah (basically a gif of throwing his body at the boss)
A post uploaded by a user in a Stunning Life community received an enormous number of likes, and that name became famous in an instant.
'Romantic Dive.'
The basis for that name was the highlight scene from the channel's first video.
The scene where Seo Min-jun did an 11-meter somersault long jump over the heads of 30 goblins to dive at the boss monster.
-No, does this even make sense?
-Sorry, I thought you were a bug.
└lolololol
└f*ck lololol
└Seriously like a grasshopper lol
-What did I just watch..
-Bro, why are you using a different physics engine by yourself..
-Even a tiger couldn't pull that sh*t off.
└lololol
└No but are you really human lol
The reason warrior-class players usually have a hard time against mage-class players is due to skill compatibility.
Warriors generally don't have decent ranged attacks, so they have to get close for their combat power to come out.
However, mage-class marksmen have good evasion and movement skills, and like Cobalos, they can inflict mez before pouring out fierce attacks to widen the distance.
That's why most warriors are in a position to get beaten daily.
But when he closed the distance in such an absurd way, a nickname like Romantic Dive God was inevitable.
Of course, it wasn't just because of the Elder Goblin dive scene......
-For real a throw (投) god lol
-Throws the spear amazingly too
-Throws his body amazingly off a cliff lol
-Diving between dozens of goblins = real romance
-Most accurate nickname I've seen lately f*ck lololol
-Since the golden age of the folk game LoL, throwing oneself and romance have been synonyms in games
-Romantic Dive God! God of Diving!
-???: Throwing, good luck.
└Throws a spear at your head.
└lolololol
"Is this really praise......?"
Seo Min-jun was confused.
"Of course. This is exactly what genuine affectionate reactions look like."
"Is that so......?"
Seo Jeong-in had firmly established Seo Min-jun's character in the first video.
With a personality that had no brakes, jumping off a cliff instead of finding a path (though he had originally calculated it with death resistance in mind).
And for the Elder Goblin's hidden quest that said, 'If you destroy the village with me, I'll give you the staff'......
'Isn't your staff something I can just pick up after killing you?'
Even the madness to give such an answer.
"He seems like a psychopath......."
Seo Min-jun had been startled at that scene too, but the viewers loved it enormously.
-lolol right
-Don't give it, I'll take it <<<
-Someone trying to destroy the beginner village to get the staff: fake madness
-Someone taking the staff: real madness
-lololol
-This is the War God (鬪神)
-War God mode lololol
-Wow sh*t, Hander Village was almost gone..
-Thank you for saving us, I'm a Hander newbie TT
-Wait, the village was almost gone while I was hunting goblins..?
-What kind of quest is this f*ck lol
Seo Jeong-in had edited out all parts mentioning the god-rank NPCs and the owl, but she revealed the quest itself accurately.
She had even blatantly shown it by partially editing the quest window itself.
Like this.
[You have reached a scenario branch point!]
[Hidden Quest triggered!]
▶This quest is part of the main scenario.
『Annihilate and burn all NPCs in the beginner village in cooperation with Cobalos』
▶Reward: Cobalos's Staff
▶Warning: If you succeed in this quest, Hander Village will permanently disappear!
This quest received the attention of countless high-level players because it was the first main scenario quest to appear.
Until then, there had only been speculation and bait about the main scenario.
For example, Stella's 'Yeouiju' item had phrases like 'Used for the main scenario' attached to it.
But not once had its true nature been satisfyingly revealed or progressed as a quest.
But from now on, it would be different. Because the 'main scenario has begun' along with the tutorial clear.
High-level players watched the main scenario quest that might someday trigger for them too with great interest.
And at various quick-witted pro clubs, they displayed Romantic Tube's first video on a screen, employees watching together while exchanging such conversations across the conference table.
"A whole village could have disappeared."
"It seems the characteristic of the main scenario is like that."
"From now on, major structural changes could occur in this game's worldview."
"We don't know what changes will be brought to 50-year-old companies, businesses, guilds, teams, cities, and villages."
"We need to prepare mentally in advance and begin gathering information."
And they were also curious about Romantic Dive God.
"Who is Romantic Dive God?"
The fact that he was a Korean server user, and that his height and physique didn't match any existing ranker in the montage.
He was a newcomer who had appeared like a comet.
But he was a man who cleared the tutorial from the very start.
He had surely researched and prepared for Stunning Life for a very long time, probably a star player thoroughly developed by a large club like Weapon Stars......
'W-well then, everyone. Now I'll try looting the items. Damn. I really can't do these lines, it's too cringey. Edit this out.'
"?"
"What?"
Because that monster's final comment was so raw and exactly like a newbie, all the rankers' predictions were completely off.
He didn't even know the camcorder angle, so only half of his helmeted face appeared, that voice full of awkwardness and faltering.
"Is this really just a newbie?"
"Not a transferred pro, but really just a pure newbie?"
"No way! Is that a fake too?"
Numerous pro clubs' HR managers and rankers fell into chaos!
And the comment section exploded.
-So f*cking cute lololol
-What, he's adorbs
-Dude, now you seem human
└lol really thought you weren't human at first
-To think someone 2 meters tall can be cute
-He seems like someone who came down from the mountains after years of training!
-lolol
-I like how pure he looks compared to other streamers
-The point that really gets me is that his play is monstrous but he's awkward at streaming lol
-He's flirting with the viewers lol
-That scene where he's embarrassed is really the killing point, so f*cking cute...
-I love you Romantic Dive God
"Now even I don't know......."
To sum up, is he a cute newbie with monstrous physical stats full of romance and madness?
To think he became such a terrible hybrid in this world!

The words "Isn't your staff something I can just pick up after killing you?" were correct.
When he picked up Cobalos's staff, it was recognized as an item.
Exactly like this.
[Cobalos's Staff ※Unique ※Legendary ※Staff]
▶A staff blessed by Dionysus, an item that Elder Goblin Cobalos has used for a long time.
▶Requires Wisdom 35 or higher
▶Weapon Attack Power: 20~25 (Physical)
▶Wisdom +8
▶Grants the skill 'Sweet Hangover'
(※Sweet Hangover causes the target to fall into a hangover state for 1 minute. The action command is 'Aim with the staff and hit the fired magic,' and the voice command is 'Sweet Hangover.' Cooldown is 80 seconds.)
▶Grants the skill 'Goblin Control'
(※You can control one target goblin. The action command is 'Aim the staff at a goblin,' and the voice command is 'A command phrase within 50 characters.' The command phrase's instructions must be clear. Cooldown is 20 seconds. This skill applies to all types of goblins—including the Goblin King.)
▶Unique Effect: Grants the trait 'Elder Goblin.'
(※An Elder Goblin is an existence that receives the respect of all goblins. The possessor of this trait will not be attacked by goblins.)
As expected of a reward for a main scenario quest that had been hidden for 50 years, its performance was tremendous.
"Items with two skills attached are rare, and both are quite good. A mez skill that inflicts hangover goes without saying, but Goblin Control is a really cheat skill too. If you can control even the Goblin King, that means Hobgoblins and Goblin Shamans and all those dangerous monsters in the low-level zones can be controlled too, you know?"
Seo Jeong-in explained until her mouth ran dry how good that item was, but Seo Min-jun wasn't very excited.
"So how much if I sell it?"
"You're selling it?"
"I want to throw spears."
"...Yeah. That suits you better anyway. To keep the concept consistent too."
Unfortunately, the price wasn't astronomical.
It was certainly an incredibly good item, but only 'by low-level standards.'
Since it had come from Hander Village from the start, the Wisdom stat requirement was low and the options were tailored for dominating at low levels.
"Once you grow to a certain extent, you won't have anything to do with goblins at all. Even including Goblin Kings."
"I see."
"Still, this has value as a collectible."
Stunning Life has many collectors. There are even people who collect items from very famous events or quests and display them in museums.
Not to mention the boss item from the very first main scenario quest?
"Absolutely can't resist that. Let's put it up in the auction house. I don't know how much it'll go for either."
So Seo Min-jun put the item up in the auction house, and at the end of the video, partly for promotion, he revealed three trophies including the staff information.
Namely, the following pieces of equipment.
[Elder Goblin's Breastplate ※Legendary ※Heavy Armor]
▶Requires Strength 20 or higher
▶Type: Heavy Armor
▶Defense +40
▶All Stats +5
▶Set Item (Pieces Owned: 1/3)
[Elder Goblin's Greaves ※Legendary ※Heavy Armor]
▶Requires Strength 20 or higher
▶Type: Heavy Armor
▶Defense +15
▶All Stats +2
▶Set Item (Pieces Owned: 2/3)
[Elder Goblin's Helmet ※Legendary ※Heavy Armor]
▶Requires Strength 20 or higher
▶Type: Heavy Armor
▶Defense +12
▶All Stats +2
▶Set Item (Pieces Owned: 3/3)
He even showed the set effect when wearing all of them.
[Set effect 'Commander's Dignity' applies.]
▶Commander's Dignity: When forming a party, party members' HP and Attack Power each increase by +5%
And there was an item he hid and didn't reveal in the video.
This very thing.
[Dionysus's Ring ※Unique ※Legendary ※Ring]
▶A ring Dionysus wore for a long time, containing his magic.
▶All Stats +3
▶Unique Effect: Grants the trait 'Liquor Lover.'
(※Liquor Lover: You do not receive penalties from alcohol. HP is recovered when drinking alcohol.)
"This one has good effects too, but the fact that it's a god-rank NPC item is the real jackpot. It's incredibly rare. Honestly, it's worth more than Cobalos's staff."
Seo Jeong-in explained as such.
"Since it might come in handy someday, you should just equip this, and don't go telling anyone about it."
"Okay."
The video comments were overflowing with talk about the staff and the Elder Goblin three-piece armor set.
-Mr. Romantic Dive, party with me
-Romantic Commander, party please
-General Romantic, let's party hunt
└lololol
└Getting more and more lol
-The staff's options are really good though lol TT How much will it go for at auction?
-I probably can't buy it but I'm happy just looking
And in the afternoon, a man's comment was posted, received an enormous number of recommendations, and rose to the very top of the comments.
This very comment.
