Episode 229
Seojun replied that he understood about the identity card, saying he would tell him after changing jobs, and first added Sword God 331 and Sword God 500 as friends.
Sword God 331, Dangso, said he planned to change his nickname.
Something about making Dangso’s nickname a fraud or whatever.
Sword God 500, Tasting Corner, also said that once he completely deleted his main account, he’d bring that nickname to this character.
Seojun wondered if deletion was really necessary, but since he said he’d do it himself, he didn’t stop him.
“But do you really have to change your nickname? Your current nickname feels like my subordinate and it’s nice… I mean, it gives a sense of unity.”
“Shut up! This isn’t special.”
“Haha… Well, I already got kicked out of the guild anyway, so it doesn’t matter…”
“Whatever. Do as you like.”
[MartTastingCornerDeclares: Yeah I’ll do it myself lol No, I said I’d be your secretary, not your lackey]
Seojun glanced sideways.
He was desperately avoiding Seojun’s eyes.
He must know it’s embarrassing every time he types.
And yet he still wants to type?
Persistent.
“Right. That’s true.”
Seojun had ended up adapting to this peculiar communication style.
If he told him to stop typing, he’d get too dejected, so there was no helping it.
Look at him.
Smiling again while using his hands.
[MartTastingCornerDeclares: Oh it’s hyung lolololol]
[MartTastingCornerDeclares: The Sword God you suckers worship ended up throwing in the towel~~]
“Then let’s go change jobs.”
According to the explanation, users who came in via skip tickets could change jobs upon reaching their first continent, Peron.
Since Seojun’s character was already at max level thanks to the skip ticket, he just needed to change jobs.
“Is this how you move maps?”
It wasn’t much different from PC games. A large circle of light floated at about knee height, connecting to the next map, and stepping into it brought up a message asking if you wanted to move.
“Aren’t there any mounts?”
I thought RPGs had them?
“You’ll get that by clearing challenge tasks in this event…”
Seojun was already wearing the event equipment he’d received via mail.
So his character was max level with equipment level 250.
“I see.”
Then it happened.
[‘CheckMail’ has donated 50,000 won!]
A donation with no message, just a nickname, appeared on Seojun’s broadcast.
“Let me check.”
A donation and even a mail?
Seojun spotted the mailbox in the upper-left corner of his vision and tapped it.
There were countless mails there.
The maximum inbox capacity was 200.
With 179 out of 200 almost full, chat said it was a number ordinary users would hardly ever see.
“First, thank you to everyone who sent them.”
And perhaps because mail had just been mentioned on the broadcast, the remaining 21 slots filled up in an instant.
Seojun checked each one, gave his thanks, then found the mail sent by the 168th donor.
==
Use it well.
Welcome to LaCl.
[Golden King’s Crow][Mythic]
==
“Oh. Is this a good one?”
- Wow!
- Mythic grade? Crazy
- So generous, just giving away such a rare thing lolololol so cool
- Info) Item grades are Normal, Rare, Heroic, Legendary, Mythic. For mounts, the higher the grade, the faster the speed and there are additional effects.
- There isn’t even a single listing on the auction house lolololol It used to sell for 200,000 gold, and a month ago the last remaining listing was bought by BloodVendor for 1,000,000 gold.
If 1,000,000 gold was practically equivalent to real money, that was 1,000,000 won.
‘But if there’s really no listing, unless the game company re-releases it somehow, even with a lot of money it’d be hard to get.’
He’d heard that RPGs had many items like this.
“Thank you. I’ll use it well.”
After receiving the mail, Seojun opened his inventory and pressed Use.
Then the item vanished and a notification appeared that a new mount had been registered.
Among the icons next to the mailbox, Seojun found the mount and immediately summoned it.
When he blinked, Seojun found himself riding on the back of a black crow armored in golden plates, far larger than a person.
“Oh. I guess you have to hold reins and give commands like a horse.”
The difficulty wasn’t very high.
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Tasting Corner was also already riding a horse that looked like a warhorse.
“Wait! How are you riding that? You couldn’t have brought gold from Solarin!”
“……Mileage. I just bought it.”
“Damn! Then I should just pay to win too!”
“Alright, we’re moving.”
Seojun gave Dangso no time.
“Just a moment! Stop!”
* * *
After passing through three ordinary field maps in Peron, they arrived at a town-like map.
It felt more like a developed city than a medieval village.
“The map is much bigger than I thought? Mounts really are essential.”
[MartTastingCornerDeclares: Legendary-grade mounts are the must-haves, newbie. Anything lower is crap lololol]
“So where’s the job change hall?”
“Over… over there…”
MartTastingCorner pointed to a place.
Every time Dangso fell too far behind, he’d stop and wait, but he still couldn’t catch up.
So even now, far away, he was running hard along with the other Sword Gods.
“You mean that building, right?”
“Yes. Since the skip ticket’s setting is that you’re ‘recalling memories,’ you can skip the related story quests and change jobs right away. If you want, you can do them, or preview them.”
“Then, Tasting Corner, what class will you play?”
“I… I’ll decide after seeing what you do. It’s no fun if we overlap.”
“You don’t have to, though?”
“It’s okay…”
“Alright, understood. When Dangso gets here, tell him not to change jobs and to wait.”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a bit…”
“Yep, didn’t hear you.”
With that, Seojun entered the building.
- lolololololololololol
- Tasting Corner is really so gentle IRL lololololol
- Look at him getting flustered when told to tell Dangso lololololol
- So what class is the room master changing to? lolololol
* * *
Tasting Corner let out a sigh and spoke to the angry, running-up user Dangso.
“Um…”
“What!”
Wow.
No Sword God around, yet he doesn’t drop the concept. Impressive!
“Uh, Sword God told Dangso to wait.”
“Ha! Is it to avoid overlapping classes? Absurd. No one can stop me!”
And with that, Dangso sat on the ground.
Tasting Corner stared at him in disbelief, then looked away when their eyes met, and asked in a quiet voice.
“Then why did you sit?”
“Because I’m tired!”
“It’s virtual reality though?”
“Shut up!”
“Okay.”
With nothing left to say, the two awkwardly watched Seojun’s broadcast.
Seojun, absurdly enough, intended to try out every single class while making them wait.
[So if guns are the weapon, how do you land counters? Ah. Each has its own dedicated skill with a motion suited for countering, though the damage is low.]
But Tasting Corner wasn’t particularly dissatisfied.
For one thing, his LaLife (Last Chronicle + life) was tangled up.
Severely so.
Not because he deleted his max-level character.
‘Ugh. Why did I have to get excited and act out just because a lot of people were watching?’
The demon realm and monster server, Solarin, has a concept of “manner guilds” that doesn’t exist on Lunaon.
These manner guilds are literally guilds that only accept users who play with manners.
So if you ask whether Solarin, with its manner guilds, is cleaner than Lunaon, it’s the opposite.
It’s precisely because it’s so filthy that these manner guilds exist.
On Lunaon, if you’re a toxic user, it’s hard to get into a guild.
You can assume most people play with manners.
But Solarin?
‘If you don’t want to meet toxic users, you have to join a manner guild.’
That’s the difference.
At least the ratio of manner guilds is 90% to toxic guilds’ 10%, so it’s not that extreme a dog-eat-dog hellhole.
‘But now I can only join that 10% of guilds…’
He had been expelled from his guild.
Because acting out on a stream was clearly toxic activity.
No exceptions. That’s life in the grim society of Solarin.
‘Ah… my LaLife…’
Getting attention from 60,000 people was definitely thrilling.
So he forgot he had to use manner chat because his nickname matched a viewer’s, and ended up acting like a tyrant. On top of that, he even bragged about his raid group.
And so his LaLife ended.
The 90% manner guilds on Solarin wouldn’t accept him now.
Even if he changed his nickname, with this level of attention, he’d keep getting documented.
Joining a truly toxic guild?
‘It doesn’t suit me…’
While watching the broadcast, he logged into Lavent.
[Hmm. The counter on this class isn’t great either. Shall we look at the next one?]
And he went to the Solarin guild forum.
That place was already occupied by the 10% toxic players.
Even if they were few, given time, they were like Spartan warriors who could fight a hundred each online.
‘As expected, everyone’s been watching the stream.’
Perhaps because it was the first major corporate streamer to appear on LaCl, the attention was extraordinary.
[Lol this time we’ll get the first clear. That streamer will never make it]
[Being able to succeed a deflection on the first try is kind of impressive]
[Seems like his skills are the real deal?]
[I’d like to invite him to our raid group lololol Then first clear would be totally doable for us]
[Would he join you guys? lololololol Get a grip]
‘What’s this post?’
While Seojun was still trying out characters and checking counters, he spotted an ominous-looking post.
[Anyone got characters made on Lunaon?]
==
If so, PM me lol
You trust hyung, right?
==
The poster was a user with an ordinary nickname.
But having hung around this forum for a while, he knew the owner of that nickname.
The number one guild on the Solarin server, the reason Solarin is called a demon realm, a monster server.
Because it belonged to a user from “Monster,” a guild that accepts anyone with high equipment level.
- ??? Why???
└ Going to invite him to our raid group once, and if he refuses lololol (Original poster)
└ Crazy bastard lololololololol
└ Did you really make a character on Lunaon too?
└ Quite a few people in our guild are doing this lol (Original poster)
└ Even if you search LaCl for Lunaon characters, Solarin characters won’t show up, so no worries. Put on a mask and the mask play is totally doable (Original poster)
└ What the hell does your guild even do, ffs lololol
‘Exactly.’
With the number one guild fooling around like that, no wonder it’s grim.
At the very least, he had only boasted a tiny bit online; in reality, he’d never once acted without manners.
‘That streamer will have to pick a class that’s decent at PvP, then.’
If that post wasn’t just for show and those users really were keeping an eye on things, it could get annoying.
Because they were insane.
“Oh, finally! You’ve tried them all!”
At the words of another crazy person, Dangso, who’d been sprawled out beside him, he turned his attention back to the broadcast.
[Hmm. I have tried them all, but nothing really clicks. Still, I’ve decided!]
What on earth would he pick?
‘His mechanics are good… It’d be best to go for something like Gunner or Assassin that flies around in PvP.’
Mobility Assassin?
Traditional Warrior?
Powerful one-shot burst Mage or endless sustained DPS Mage?
Flashy Mechanic?
Romantic Gunner?
The choices were plentiful.
But what Seojun chose wasn’t within his expectations.
How could that be?
[I’ll stay as a Beginner! This is the most comfortable for landing counters!]
Because he meant the Beginner class that doesn’t change jobs.
“Uh… Is he a pervert? Seriously…?”
Had anyone ever done that?
“No, that crazy bastard! He’s serious! That guy, if he says he’ll do it, he does it! No! The dream of the number one guild!”
MartTastingCornerDeclares only then realized.
The reason the person named Dangso beside him followed Seojun around.
The craziest one of them all was Seojun.
[I mean it. Let’s head out of the building and go test the new class!]
In this absurd situation, his fingers itched.
‘That’s not a new class, though…’
At this rate, even the madmen of Solarin might just dismiss him as an idiot.
That was a relief.
