What was that earlier?

This time, it definitely wast magic.

How can someone wield such power in reality?

He used Ki back then, didnt he?

What kind of gift does he possess?

A players 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 opponents organs instantlyinside the game

No, even without destroying anything, just piercing a hole somewhere vital could result in a fatal injury.

The representatives of the teenage guild that participated in the auction were amazed by Seong Jihans 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 hes a Bronze who hasnt revealed his status window so farHis track record is good, and he possesses special abilities. We must recruit him.

The guild representatives had come to the auction to seek Seong Jihan rather than the auction items.

But among them, one person was particularly eager.

That power its 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 camera, it seemed like he was angry about the business card being torn by Seong Jihan, but in reality

Ah!

It wasnt the case.

Watching Seong Jihan turn the business card into dust, he was celebrating internally.

To think hed completely turn it into dust.

He sensed something great in how he used that mysterious energy.

Mr. Seong Im definitely going to recruit you.

Takedas eyes were shining with greed.

Ill have a meeting with you. Then, Ill be able to have you Hehe.

Takeda was sure that one meeting was all he needed.

To do that, he first needed to win his favor.

The chat flooded Seong Jihans channel after Takedas expression.

Ugh, why does that guys facial expression look like that?

He seems like a pervert

Someone get rid of him.

All the disgusting ones are here

As Takeda smirked and descended with a smug smile, the camera captured the moment. At that moment, everyone in the chatroom united in agreement.

However, the temporarily peaceful chatroom of Seong Jihans channel

[Take-chan has donated 10,000 GP.]

Seong Ssang~~ It was nice meeting you today. ^^; Next time, lets definitely meet face-to-face in a 1:1 chat. ! If you unblock private messages, Ill donate even more! Your eternal fan, Take-chan

When Take-chan sent a donation message, chaos erupted once again.

Take-chan? Could it be

Is it the baldy from earlier?

Wow, sending ten million won.

The first donation message on this channel is from a Japanese person.

Why is this old mans message so creepy?

Upon receiving a donation, Seong Jihan paused for a moment.

Although he couldnt see the messages from regular people in Seong Jihans chat due to the block, he could see the donation message. Thus, he could also read the message Takeda had written while sending 10,000 GP.

[Received a donation of 10,000 GP.]

[Cleared the regular achievement, Steadfast Support (1). ]

[Obtained 1000 achievement points as a reward.]

He gained GP and even earned achievement points.

Looking at the results alone, it could be called a windfall. However

My channels first donation is from Take-chan, or rather, Takeda

A slight furrow appeared on Seong Jihans forehead.

Such a first-time donation remains in the records for a long time.

Especially for a player like Seong Jihan who aims to become the worlds top-ranked player.

I should have set a lower limit.

On that day, Seong Jihan regretted his actions for the first time.

* * *

After the auction ended.

Mr. Seong Jihan, Im Kim Jin-hwan, a scout from the Turtle Guild. Could I have a moment to talk?

Mr. Seong Jihan.

I was deeply impressed by your earlier performance.

Originally, the participants who had intended to purchase Yoon Sejins 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. Its so annoying.

Seong Jihan found it bothersome.

Still, he couldnt be as adamantly dismissive as he had been to Takeda earlier.

Thank you.

As you can see, Im 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 camera from Park Yoon-sik, she saw his expression and couldnt 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, its 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? Whats wrong?

Uncle, I today has been really tough for me. Can we just go home 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 well hear your words another time. Sorry.

After a hurried farewell, Seong Jihan quickly took Yoon Seah and left the event hall.

Uncle, I did well, didnt I? I put on a special act because you looked so annoyed.

Yeah, you did well.

He remembered Yoon Seahs 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 Seahs head.

Still, I was worried.

Really? Uncle,You worry too much. Even though I look like this, Im the student council president at school.

Yoon Seah looked up at his hand as if she didnt quite like it, but she didnt tell him to remove it.

Uncle, be careful. It seems youll fall for any girl that tears up a bit.

Dont worry. Your uncle has mastered understanding womens emotions.

Hmph, you only watched Battle Net at home What youve learned through video games doesnt count.

As they walked side by side in the elevator, they shared a friendly moment.

Ding-dong.

Two women 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 Jihans 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. Im Lee Hayeon, the third department head at Divergent Guild.

Head..?

Doesnt head seem too young for me?

Yes

Hehe, thats because I was parachuted in.

In response to Yoon Seahs question, she casually referred to herself as a parachute.

If she entered the Divergent Guild as a parachute, then there might be some connection between her and the parent company, The Divergent Corporation.

From her family name, it could be inferred that Lee Hayeon had some connection with the The Divergent Corporation, even though it wasnt clear how much.

But

Seong Jihan stared at Lee Hayeons face.

A face more beautiful than most celebrities on TV. She, who held both looks and wealth, exuded confidence in her demeanor. However, what caught Seong Jihans attention wasnt just her confident beauty

This person Where have I seen her before?

Lee HayeonThe name was not in his memory, but the appearance, the self-assured attitude, and the voice.For some reason, it seemed familiar.

With such an impression, it might be someone he had met during his time in the United States

Who is she?

Meanwhile, as Seong Jihan stared at her intensely, a smile deepened on Lee Hayeons 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 me.

I was a subscriber to my previous channel?

Yes, Ive been a longtime fan since you started making predictions on Battle Net matches. Ive been astonished by your keen judgment more than once I could never have imagined that you would become such an exceptional player.

Guesser of the victory, Mr. Seong.

This channel had been the one that sustained Seong Jihan during his previous lifes extreme 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 comeback.

However, at this time, there are very few people who would know about this channel.

Unless someone is a fan of match predictions to a fanatic degree, they might not even know of this channels existence.

To subscribe to this

Suddenly, someone came 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 worlds 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 meaningful look.

Just a while ago, he was boasting about mastering womens hearts, so why was he suddenly at a loss for words?

Hehe, its okay.

Lee Hayeon smiled leisurely and gently stroked her own face.

That gesture was exactly the same 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 mentioned this, Lee Hayeons smile momentarily stiffened.

This is your motto, right, Ms. Lee Hayeon?

Oh my Hoho. Youre being a bit much for a first meeting. Im 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 something she says all the time?

Gayoung, no. I didnt do anything like that.

Could you be a stalker?

GaYoung. Ah I didnt do anything.

Although the young womans words didnt 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 Jihans eyes sharpened.

Shes someone I must recruit on my side.

Manager Zero.

A woman who, despite being an immigrant, became the leader of the American First Guilds 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.
