Title) WaHun Reality Mode got a new route lololol
No, I was just watching this newbie streamer called Haerang,
and a route I’ve never seen before just came up lololololol
From the tutorial, he picked the greatsword that nobody uses in Reality Mode, then killed both of those Doma bastards just like that.
Then Dante showed up as soon as he arrived at the base lolololol
That alone was ridiculous, but the streamer bastard immediately hit Dante with a surprise rude comment, asking how he could see when his eyes couldn’t even see lolololol
They said he’s a WaHun newbie.
As expected, newbies are the ones who do big things.

: The surprise rudeness is killing me lololol
: That was a route branch?
: Isn’t this fabricated?
: Nah nah, I saw it too. It’s real.
: Wait, there was still a new route left?
: Isn’t it a Reality-only route?
: lololololol that seems right
: To begin with, if it’s not Reality Mode, two Domas don’t even show up lololol
: Then we’ll never see it lololol
: Was it even possible to kill the Domas during the tutorial?
: Fr, that’s creepy as hell. He killed Domas right from the start in Reality Mode? Isn’t running away supposed to be the standard?
: Yeah, that’s the standard. He’s the weird one.
: Dante’s timing is supposed to be late-game, too.
: He does show up mid-game too. He just says a line or two and disappears.
: I’m resetting right now and trying that again.
: Can we watch this on stream?
: Yeah, he’s live right now.
: Link here (link)
: (Woman emote roughly scattering flowers and saying thank you)
: (Woman emote roughly scattering flowers and saying thank you) Hurry up and go watch.

Changing the in-game time from night to morning was easy.
All I had to do was lie down on the bed.
After adjusting the time like that, I was following Reina to the smithy.
Just then—
- Is this Haerang’s stream, the one that opened up a new route?
- Hae-ha!
- Newbies are the ones who do big things!!
- What’s he doing right now?
- Wow, Uggo 2.
The number of viewers suddenly began to rise partway through, and the chat started scrolling by in a frenzy.
Just as I was thinking, ‘Where are they all coming from this time?’—
I remembered the earlier chat message saying there was a commotion on the gallery.
‘Looks like they came from there.’
I lightly waved my hand and greeted the new viewers.
“Paha. A lot of you suddenly came in, huh? There was a chat earlier saying the gallery was going crazy. Did you maybe come from there?”
- Yes, that’s right.
- Yeah yeah yeah, I came from there too.
- I heard a new route came out, so I came because I was curious!
- But did you actually kill two Domas for real?
“Domas?”
- They mean Domagirious.
‘I was wondering what they were talking about, but I guess they meant those things.’
It seemed they’d just taken the first two syllables and called them Doma because it was easier.
“Ah, those lizard guys? Yes, that’s right.”
- That’s actually insane...
- Fr, how did you do it?
----
[Capybara has donated 1,000 won.]
Could you please tell us how you killed the Doma guys?
----
“Thank you, Capybara, for the 1,000 won donation. How did I kill them? Just dodge all their attacks, and hit them hard when you attack.”
- No, so we’re asking how you did that lolololololol
- Dodge and hit, got it...
- What are you, the Bob Ross of gaming? lololol
- See? Easy, isn’t it?
- But he’s technically right lololol
- I’m going to try it right now.
- He’ll be back soon.
- Fr lolol
----
[Capybara has donated 10,000 won.]
Could you be a little more specific?
----
More specific.
‘That really is all there is to explain, though... What should I do?’
They had even spent money to donate, so I couldn’t just refuse to explain.
In the end, I began explaining slowly, as if I were teaching a complete newbie.
“Ah, thank you, Capybara, for the 10,000 won donation. Then I’ll explain slowly from the beginning. If you look closely at Domagirious, or the Doma guys, they’re monsters based on lizards, right?”
- Yeah yeah.
- Yesh!!
- True. They’re basically enlarged lizards from how they look.
“Creatures like that have somewhat limited movements, you see? At most, they’ll bite with their mouths or strike with their tails. Or maybe use their size to crash into you?”
- They do that even in baby mode.
- The patterns themselves are easy.
- Sometimes they vomit too, but that’s a gimmick.
“Ah, there was a gimmick like that too? I didn’t know. Anyway, if you look carefully at the tips of their feet, you can predict how they’re planning to move. You just look at that and dodge.”
‘That should be enough explanation, right?’
Satisfied with my own explanation, I had no choice but to nod.
No matter how I thought about it, it was an extremely newbie-friendly explanation.
- ?
- ??
- lololololololololol No, how are you supposed to know just by looking at that?
- Ah, I see!
- Not even their other motions, but just the tips of their feet? You can tell from that? Is that possible?
- Fuck, this isn’t the old third-person days, how do you figure that out in first-person? lololol
- Fr lolol
- Ah, this is Haerang-sensei’s 500-point vision!! Just accept it!!
- What does 500 points mean?
- Sigh, this is why new guys are... (shakes head)
- Welcome, newbie!!
- He’s only on day two, though lololol
- Go rewatch yesterday’s stream.
- What is it? Seriously, tell me.
- You won’t believe it even if we explain. Just go watch.
- Fr lolol
Even after hearing my explanation, the reactions continued as if they still couldn’t understand.
‘Is this hard?’
I was about to open my mouth, thinking I had no choice but to explain in more detail, when—
“Newbie, we’re here.”
At Reina’s voice from ahead, I had no choice but to swallow my words.
“I’ll explain the rest next time.”
- Okay.
- Yep.
- Got it.
After briefly explaining the situation to the viewers, I turned my head.
Before my eyes was an expansive smithy centered around a massive furnace, spreading out along with a wave of heat.
Even though I hadn’t entered yet, the hot air struck my face.
Clang!
“Hold that properly over there!!”
Clang!
“You old geezer!! Your hands are idle right now!!! Move faster!!”
From inside, the sound of hammers striking iron and voices shouting orders mingled together, spreading like an echo.
The only smithy currently operating at the First Outpost.
They said all kinds of materials gathered by hunters passed through this place and were reborn as weapons.
- Man, this place is romantic every time I see it.
- A space for real men.
“Shall we go in?”
At Reina’s question, I nodded.
“Yes.”
When I followed her into the smithy—
Whoosh—
I felt heat even hotter than before.
The heat made me narrow my eyes slightly.
“Oh, Reina! It’s been a while!!”
Along with a hearty voice, muscular bearded men began appearing from every direction.
“What?! Reina’s back?”
“Where, where?”
“The good iron?! You brought it, right?!”
“Booze!!”
Seeing them, Reina placed a hand on her forehead.
“It’s been a while. I brought everything you need, so please talk one at a time. My ears hurt...”
“What?!!”
“I can’t hear you!!! Speak louder!!!”
“I said I brought everything you need, so please talk one at a time!!!”
At Reina’s loud shout, they flinched for a moment, then soon began laughing heartily.
“Your personality’s the same as ever!! Reina!!”
“Yeah, this is Reina!!”
Before I knew it, Reina was surrounded by shirtless middle-aged men.
Just as I was wondering if I should help her out, she calmly began taking something out of her bag.
“Uncle Phil, here’s your alcohol. It’s liquor I brought from the north, so drink it sparingly. Uncle Baek, the iron you mentioned was requested to be sent to the workshop this morning, so it should arrive soon. And Uncle Jack—”
Was this what social skills looked like?
Though she sighed, she delivered what each person needed, and the sight seemed to show just how well she had blended into this place.
She looked somewhat like a dependable senior.
- Who knew Uggo 2 was so good at socializing?
- Uggo 2 surrounded by men.avi
- Oh yeah.
- Could the two guys above please hold your breath for just ten minutes?
“So who’s that friend behind you, Reina?”
“Ah.”
At the words of the man called Phil, we were finally able to bring up why we had come here.
“He’s our new recruit. By any chance, where’s Uncle Tom?”
“Tom? That guy’s probably inside making weapons right now. Why are you looking for him?”
“We’re trying to get a weapon made.”
“Huh? What weapon?”
Phil asked, looking puzzled by Reina’s words.
Reina calmly answered him.
“We need a weapon for our new recruit to use.”
“If you say new recruit, isn’t he the new guild receptionist?”
“He is, but...”
Reina scratched her head and dragged out her words for a moment.
She seemed to be wondering how to put it.
“Our new recruit received a scouting offer from Grandpa Dante this time, asking if he had any thought of becoming a hunter. He needs a weapon for the test.”
“This scrawny-looking friend got scouted by Old Man Dante?!”
Phil and the other smiths looked at me with interested gazes.
- Ooh, that’s burdensome.
- Their gazes are stickier than I expected lololol
They slowly walked toward me.
Seeing them approach with their upper bodies bare, I couldn’t help but take a slight step back.
“Now, now, stay still!!”
“If Old Man Dante scouted you, then you must be quite something, right?”
“Right, what kind of weapon do you need, young man? Dual blades? A bow? A longsword? Just say the word!!”
As the situation became just like what had happened to Reina earlier, the chat began going wild.
- Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
- Is it okay to put this on stream?
- Save the streamer!!
The gazes of the men, their eyes sparkling as they drew closer and closer, felt more threatening than monsters.
Especially when even their scalps were shining because of the sweat.
Since it seemed like there would be no end to this if things continued,
I hurriedly spoke about the weapon I needed.
“A greatsword.”
“A greatsword?!”
At my answer, they looked shocked.
“With that body?!”
“Not dual blades? Really a greatsword?”
“You must’ve misspoken!!”
----
[King of Greatswords has donated 1,000 won.]
So you know about greatswords. They’re su.per.fun.
----
- Honestly, if we were those uncles, we’d react the same way.
- Fr lolol
- Actually, almost nobody uses greatswords in Reality Mode.
- They can’t use them, to be honest lololol
At their disbelieving attitude, I kindly told them again.
“No, I mean a greatsword.”
All of them looked like they still had something more to say.
Just as the man called Jack was about to open his mouth—
“Give him some space. Stop pestering our new recruit!!”
Reina stepped in between us and separated them from me.
“Ahem, sorry about that.”
“Ahem...”
“We got excited when we heard Old Man Dante had scouted you.”
They turned their heads away, coughing awkwardly.
As if used to it, Reina sighed.
“Haa, seriously... It’s fine, so hurry up and make the weapon. Anyway, Uncle Tom is busy right now, right? From the looks of it, you uncles seem kind of free. Then you make it for him.”
“That’s true, but...”
“Do you have the materials?”
At their question, Reina glanced at me.
It seemed she was signaling for me to take out the materials.
So I took the Domagirious materials out of the bag I had brought.
“Here.”
“Oho, Domagirious materials.”
“They’re in good condition, huh?”
“Exactly. At this level, we should assume he dealt with them without much of a fight.”
“Well now, Old Man Dante had a reason for scouting him!!”
“His skills are excellent!!”
When I handed over the materials, their eyes shone as they began examining them.
Soon, the three of them huddled together and whispered for a while.
“Then come by around lunchtime!!”
“You said a greatsword, right? Just trust us!!!”
“It’s been a while since we’ve had materials this good... I’m getting all fired up!!!!”
- Fired up?
- Three fired-up men, huh... Hmm...
- This is suspicious.
After saying we understood, I left the smithy together with Reina, and she spoke as if apologizing.
“Sorry. The uncles are pretty intense. When a hunter who’ll use their weapons well appears, they always make a fuss like that.”
“You seem close.”
At my question, Reina smiled softly.
Between that smile, I could glimpse a small fang.
“Well, I’ve known them since I was little. They’re like family.”
She stretched gently and looked at me.
“Then since they told us to come around lunchtime, shall we eat first?”
At her words, I smiled this time.
“Sounds good. I wanted to try it anyway.”
“Then let’s go!”
I slowly followed behind her as she hummed.
- Give me some too!!!
- Boo, don’t eat by yourself, streamer!!
Food made by cats.
I was looking forward to it a little.
