Chapter 247
3.
E-World, the company that services Eternal World.
Naturally, they had made every effort to launch Eternal World globally.
As a result, E-World branches were established in each region, and thanks to that, it was famous for its seamless connection with minimal delay.
As long as you connected to the virtual reality, the delay within the virtual reality was almost non-existent.
However, managing it was on a different level.
This was especially true for cases like this, where all servers were integrated for an event.
The Apophis Special Team.
The number of people managing the integrated servers in connection with all branches was nearing over a thousand.
And the one controlling all of this was none other than.
“Hmm.”
The genius of the century, the chairman of E-World, Park Won.
Park Won was observing the busily moving Apophis Special Team and the integrated servers.
Although the servers were connected in a way that they all integrated as one headed toward the center of the Eternal World continent.
An integrated server like Apophis, where everyone moved to one place, could be unstable, so everyone was on edge.
Park Won also looked at various things with a rather troubled expression, and reports on the assigned level ranges were coming in from all directions.
[Single rankers above level 350 have been wiped out, except for user Yuna.]
[The server for levels 300 to 349 is mostly full. Most of the double and triple rankers have gathered.]
[Users between levels 250 and 299 are not yet here.]
[The number of waiting users in the 50-99 level range is still significantly low!]
[The 200-249 level range is not here yet either.]
Park Won nodded as he looked at the window where reports were coming in noisily.
It seemed there was still much preparation left.
He wondered if the time in the waiting room was taking too long.
But he wasn't particularly worried about that part.
Because everyone in the waiting room was either chatting as if socializing or keeping each other in check, losing track of time.
At first, he had considered adding another form of entertainment just for the waiting room.
But the way users were creating their own content was quite nice to see.
As everyone was managing things that way.
Park Won, while looking at this and that, suddenly examined the waiting room where users from level 200 to 249 were gathered.
They were gathered around Seonghyun, who was at the lowest level of 200.
Although he hadn't watched the broadcast.
Park Won smirked as he saw Seonghyun teaching them his know-how.
‘Interesting.’
To think he could pull something like that with the World Boss Apophis right in front of them.
Besides, this was Seonghyun, who had just hit level 200 and hadn't received his reward yet.
Since his contribution in this Apophis event would be combined with it to receive a special reward.
‘Black Star, that snake-like NPC, left something amazing.’
Of course, there was a possibility that Seonghyun might not be able to claim it.
Because the level range from 200 to 249 was a stage where one could be called an expert, beyond an intermediate player.
Especially, he thought the level 240s might give Seonghyun a really good fight.
Well, he'd have to watch a bit more to see.
Just how far could Seonghyun go?
And would Seonghyun be able to obtain the reward that Black Star had hidden in Apophis?
With such an expectant expression, Park Won watched Seonghyun before turning his attention back to server management.
Right now, this was more urgent than Seonghyun.
4.
Once you pass level 300.
You reach a level where you can be called a ranker.
In other words, you enter the ranks of the experts in this game.
The number of such players across all servers did not exceed ten thousand.
So it made sense.
Going a little further from there.
The number of users who had passed level 350 was extremely small.
It was just under a thousand.
So they are called Single Rankers, following a numbering system.
The Single Rankers, known as the top beings in this game.
And the dignified being who calmly survived alone in a battle among those Single Rankers.
“Hoooo.”
Her appearance wasn't great as she had taken considerable damage.
But in the end, she won.
-Wow;;;;;
-That was sick;;;;;
-Unni, you're so cool!!!!
-Seriously so badass!!!!
-Noona, I'm dying!!!!
-Actually died lololol.
With the chat window in an uproar, Yuna, who had calmly won the battle among Single Rankers, swept her hair back and sheathed her sword.
It felt like she was on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
But it was still close to a break time.
So she was slowly recovering in the waiting room.
Fortunately, it was a good situation for recovery since no one else was there.
‘Will I be able to take down Apophis?’
Help from the other kids?
She didn't need that crap.
The problem was that she had used too many skills, and it was a bit concerning that she had used most of her skills with long cooldowns.
If not for that, she would have shown the confidence to take it down on her own.
It was a bit of a shame.
Afterward, Yuna slowly recovered and glanced at the chat window.
Various chats were scrolling up.
But she just let them pass with her usual attitude.
‘There’s no need to respond to them.’
Yuna never paid much attention to the chat even during her usual broadcasts.
So this time, too, she tried not to pay attention.
But then, one chat caught Yuna's eye.
-But are they really siblings???
Siblings?
Why are siblings suddenly being mentioned?
As Yuna wondered and tilted her head.
She could see a few chats discussing that one.
-With the Demon King?
-The Demon King said so???
-Isn't that a lie????
-They didn't seem particularly close…….
-Don't they not have any real connection? Other than being in the same guild.
-lolol, right.
-Did he lie?
-To raise his own value? lolol.
-No way, right? The Demon King came in after catching the black snake first lol.
-Yeah, but the Single Ranker still won.
-Do you really think the black snake a Single Ranker catches is the same as the one the Demon King catches???
Starting with talk of the Demon King, it had reached a point where people were calling it trolling.
Yuna, who had just finished a battle and didn't know the situation.
Caught one thing for sure and said.
“What's a lie? That's annoying.”
The chat window was puzzled by Yuna's sudden reaction.
-????????
-What's this?????
-Did Yuna-nim just react to the chat???
-Isn't this the first time in Yuna-nim's broadcast history!?!?!
-C-crazy, please read my chat too!!!
-Unni!!! Please read my chat too!!!
-No, more importantly, noona, weren't you our noona?! Are you really the Demon King's older sister?
The fact that Yuna, who had never once reacted during her broadcasts until now, had responded, made the chat fire up even more.
The chat started scrolling at a tremendous speed.
Of course, there were chat managers.
But it became so heated that it was impossible to manage.
Yuna checked the chat windows with her incredible dynamic visual acuity and.
Said with a cold expression.
“We are siblings, so what...”
With Yuna's admission added to it.
The chat window absolutely exploded.
To be honest, it wasn't a lot, but there was a considerable atmosphere of disbelief that Seonghyun and Yuna were siblings.
Of course, the fact that a Single Ranker and the comparable Seonghyun were siblings was honestly surprising.
So there were quite a few who didn't believe it.
But now that Yuna herself had admitted it.
It was only natural for things to go wild.
After Yuna acknowledged it.
-Come to think of it, they do look a little alike???
-They both have heavenly visuals, so I just thought they looked similar because of that…….
-Wow, to think they were really siblings.
-lolol, honestly, who would think that siblings would both be so talented?
Watching the chat, Yuna shook her head and thought to herself.
‘Hmph, who says we’re not siblings? Can't you tell just by looking at us?’
At the same time, while recovering her health, she thought again.
‘By the way, I wonder if Seonghyun will be okay?’
It was her first time facing a World Boss like this, too.
But since it was the 200 to 249 level range.
It would be harder than she thought.
Would he be able to confidently take first place there?
Yuna pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
Well, he'll probably manage on his own.
Seonghyun wasn't some naive kid.
He was the type to do things properly when it was time.
Yuna decided to worry about herself rather than Seonghyun and focused on recovering again.
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Aww, she's not reading the chat again ㅠㅠㅠ.
-Too bad ㅠㅠㅠ.
-Maybe we can provoke her with the Demon King?
-Oh?
-(This user has been kicked.)
-Don't try to provoke her with the Demon King!!! You'll get kicked!!!
And so, the chat in Yuna's broadcast slowly returned to normal.
5.
Even Kyou and Reaper, who had been fighting each other, listened intently to Seonghyun's lecture and were now reviewing what they had learned with satisfied expressions.
And Seonghyun gave a few tips to the other backup team members who seemed quite desperate.
He had realized a lot after training with Helena.
Besides, when it came to swords, Seonghyun knew a great deal.
There was much to teach.
Only after he had taught everyone did other users start to appear one by one.
At first, the intervals were sparse.
Then, they gradually started to increase in number.
‘Hmm. The atmosphere is strange.’
An atmosphere of staring at each other as if in competition.
But then, when they looked at Seonghyun, they changed into people who seemed desperate to ask him something.
Right after he entered after catching the black snake, they were on guard and gathered with familiar faces.
But after that, they did some research on the internet in the waiting room.
They found out that Seonghyun had given a lecture, and now they were looking at him like a puppy that needed to poop.
However, they were still just as wary of everyone else except Seongun.
That's why Seonghyun felt it was a bit strange.
“Hmm, there are more people than I thought.”
“It’s because of the server integration.”
Luna, who had put her robe back on, answered Seonghyun's words.
Definitely.
Did she say Reaper was from the European server, not the East Asian server?
If so, it made sense that there were a lot of people.
However, seeing them grouping up by guild, Seonghyun looked around with a slightly puzzled expression.
In a way, it was natural for them to stick together by guild.
The larger the guild, the more numerous they were.
Especially since the number of users in this level range was quite high.
The numbers were bound to be large.
. Naturally, the Rapid Guild was among them.
“They’ve gathered by guild… should we go to the Rapid Guild side too?”
At Seonghyun's question, Luna shook her head.
“No. They’re gathering by guild to form teams, but since our team revolves around you anyway, Seonghyun-nim, there’s no need to go.”
“Ah, I see.”
Still, since he was part of the guild, he thought about going over to at least say hello.
But they seemed busy over there.
They were going around talking to other guilds.
Or gathering information while exchanging greetings.
Since they seemed busy, there was no need to go and interrupt.
Seonghyun heard Luna's words and waited.
How much time had passed?
[Not much time remains until the World Boss, 『Apophis, God of the Black Serpents』 raid.]
[All users, please prepare.]
Reading the message, everyone stopped talking and began to wait with their respective teams.
It said the raid would begin soon.
As Seonghyun also waited with anticipation.
A message appeared.
[The level 200 to 249 bracket will battle in the 『Interior of Apophis』.’]
[The super-large-scale world event, 『Temple of Apophis』, will now begin.] Follow current novels on novel•fire.net With the message, the bodies of all users disappeared from the waiting room.
Seonghyun also smiled slightly as he was transported.
‘It’s starting.’
