Ranker's Return

Chapter 841

“A class change? So you’re saying that you’ve done the third class advancement already?” Hyeonu asked in a serious voice. This matter had become too serious to ask about playfully.

‘Is he level 200 already?’

If this was true, then Jamie Moore was really crazy. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he had poured everything into Arena. No, it was still too fast even for this. Even if more hunting grounds and better items were released, the standard of the people who used them remained the same. This was unless an unbelievable level of talent was suddenly introduced into Arena.

“I’m not level 200. I got a rare class and got it in advance.”

Jamie Moore quickly shook his hands. Hyeonu was having a strange misunderstanding.

‘How can I achieve level 200 already?’

Jamie Moore smiled in a dejected manner. It would only be possible for Hyeonu. It was impossible for anyone else, let alone himself.

“You got a rare class? Did that also give you the unique items?” Hyeonu wondered. To be honest, he was very surprised and envious.

‘I didn’t get a unique item...’

Come to think about it, Hyeonu hadn’t received a single item from Lebron. He received a lot of other help, but he didn’t get anything like a unique rated item.

‘However, I did receive a lot of help on the skills side.’

No one benefited more than Hyeonu when it came to skills. Even so, envy was envy.

“Yes, I stumbled upon an NPC in the field who handed me these weapons at the same time as the class change. Good luck came to me.”

It was a real coincidence that Jamie Moore got a rare class. He had nothing to say other than that he was lucky.

-It is outrageous.

-He said he was hunting in the field when an NPC gave him unique items and a class change?

-Is there really a game where a successful person succeeds no matter what? Wow, that is crazy.

-Why are there some people for whom things work out so well?

The viewers felt despondent when they watched Jamie Moore speak about an unbelievable experience. This wasn’t a matter of skill, so the feeling became even greater. It was something that the viewers could get as well. It wasn’t a tall tree to look at, but a fruit that could be grabbed by their hands right away.

“Can I have a brief introduction about your class? I think the viewers will be very curious, right?” Hyeonu wondered what Jamie Moore’s class was. It wasn’t strange for anything to happen in Arena, but it wasn’t easy to believe that an NPC encountered at a hunting ground would hand over a class.

“To be precise... it wasn’t long ago. It was around a week ago? It was after I hunted all day.”

Jamie Moore spent most of the day hunting without fail. Once the hunt was over and his party dispersed, a young man with red hair appeared in front of him.

“The young man asked me if I used two swords. I said that of course I use two swords.”

Jamie Moore was startled by the sudden appearance of the young man, but he still answered the young man’s question. He somehow felt like he had to.

“The young man asked again if I could use magic power with the fire attribute. I nodded.”

The red-haired young man responded to Jamie’s answer by wielding his sword. It was the so-called question and answer dance.

“What utter rubbish, this guy,” Hyeonu muttered slightly as he listened to Jamie Moore. Then he was soon absorbed in Jamie Moore’s explanation.

-The AI level of this NPC is really...

-He hit first?

-This personality isn’t normal?

-Then this person beat him, gave him a weapon, and a class change?

-He is pretending to be kind and helping after troubling another person.

The viewers were the same as Hyeonu. They were angry as if they had been beaten.

“You don’t have to be too angry. There was nothing like what the viewers are thinking.”

Jamie Moore easily blocked the red-haired young man’s surprise attack. There was nothing difficult about it. The attack of the young man wasn’t sharp or fast. Jamie Moore had experience sparring with many rankers, including Hyeonu. His body had adapted to surprise attacks to some extent.

“I blocked several attacks and the young man who attacked me told me, ‘Your basics aren’t lacking. You are qualified. Will you be my successor?’ I naturally agreed.”

From then on, something mysterious happened to Jamie Moore. A quest window appeared in front of him and the young man held out the sword he was holding to Jamie Moore.

“I naturally accepted the sword he held out. He handed me the sword and disappeared.”

This was repeated exactly one more time. The next one who appeared after the red-haired young man was a young man with blue hair. The young man with shimmering blue hair repeated exactly the same thing as what Jamie Moore experienced before with the red-haired young man. Then he held out the long sword in his hand to Jamie Moore and disappeared.

The swords of both the young men had a unique rating. The moment he got both swords, the quest was naturally cleared. Jamie Moore’s class change was the reward of the quest.

“Is this true without the slightest exaggeration?” Hyeonu asked with a laugh. He clearly heard it with both ears, but he couldn’t understand it with his head. It was a bit different from the Arena that Hyeonu himself had experienced. This was too lucky. There was nothing much to say other than that.

“Yes, that’s right. Why would I lie in front of more than 10 million people?”

Jamie Moore was innocent. He was only stating the facts as they were. He also hadn’t believed it until he got the unique rated items and a new class. It took him quite some time to accept reality as reality.

“Well... it is a good thing, so I won’t say anything else. Congratulations, Jamie Moore.”

Hyeonu clapped. The good fortune that came to Jamie Moore was amazing, and it was clearly something to celebrate. It was because the better Jamie Moore’s specs became, the closer he would be to graduating from Alley Leader Academy.

“So shouldn’t you work harder? Your specs have risen, so starting from today, we will proceed with sparring that is in line with the current bronze medal level.”

Hyeonu smiled. It was a very creepy smile. It was a smile filled with jealousy toward the one who had good luck in his hands.

***

Hyeonu finished his live stream and headed straight to a certain place. Hyeonu headed to a northern city. It was a city that was adjacent to the glacier zone and was trampled on by the undead. He was waiting for someone there.

“Alley Leader!”

After a while, the people that Hyeonu was waiting for appeared. It wasn’t one person who appeared, but several.

“You came?”

Hyeonu turned toward those who appeared.

“You’ve been waiting a long time. Hasn’t your growth been a bit slow?”

Hyeonu used the tone of people in television commercials.

“It is slow, but... it feels fast compared to those with similar subscribers,” Kalen answered with an uneasy expression on his face.

The channel’s growth had slowed, but it still wasn’t bad. The previous growth was too steep.

“I will restore that growth again. Let’s go.”

Hyeonu left the ruined city without hesitation. The Venom Guild leisurely followed behind Hyeonu.

“Are you ready?”

Hyeonu leisurely moved through the glacier zone while having a conversation with Kalen, who was running behind him.

“My heart is hardened. I’m willing to take some criticism.”

Kalen had a grim expression on his face. From the moment he stepped out of the shadows into the sunlight, his goal had shifted to success. It was the same with the others in the Venom Guild.

Honor? They never wanted anything like that in the first place. All they wanted was money. Attract people’s attention and make money. They were naturally willing to accept any criticism or blame in the process.

“I like that attitude. No one can escape from the arrows of blame until you succeed and take your positions. No, you can’t escape from it even if you succeed. However, the fans who like you will stop those arrows of blame.”

Hyeonu smiled with satisfaction. They would be able to get along well under Edward with this type of mentality.

“We should go quickly. Time is gold.”

Hyeonu’s movement speed increased. The goal was the iceberg where Edward was located.

***

During the time when Hyeonu was moving toward Edward, movement also occurred in the southern part of the East Continent. A huge magic circle appeared and a large number of divine beasts and the god tribe emerged from it.

“Sweep them all away!”

“Don’t leave a single human behind!”

“Reclaim our home!”

The god tribe started to run toward the city while shouting. As the god tribe and divine creatures stormed the city, the guards protecting the city and the players near the city were confused.

“What is this?”

“Monsters!”

“Monsters are attacking the city!”

“Everyone avoid it!”

It was natural. Where would they have seen the god tribe and divine creatures before? Additionally, the resort cities in the southern part of the East Continent hadn’t experienced war for a long time. There was no proper response.

“Evacuate the civilians. The rest will stop them!”

Yet even among the dogs, the right people were bound to come out. NPCs emerged from somewhere and started to lead the guards. However, they could only hold on for a short time.

“God has ordered it! This is the temple!”

They were unable to stop the attacks of the god tribe and divine creatures who were pushing them with great numbers and the city was taken in vain. Such a scene occurred simultaneously in the southern part of the East Continent. It wasn’t just one or two cities taken. More than five cities fell into the hands of the god tribe in a single breath.

It would’ve been nice if it ended there. The god tribe touched a place they shouldn’t have touched. They crossed the line that Edward had drawn.

“This is a city of losers who have made humiliating choices. We will hit them today.”

The man standing at the forefront of the god tribe shouted.

“Is this also a command from God? Is it right to go to war not only with humans, but also with other species?” a member of the god tribe asked the man. He also wasn’t an ordinary member of the god tribe. He had his own position. He had information that he knew. As far as he knew, the war was a war against humans and the different species were not involved.

“After all, they are next after the humans. The order is different, but the result is the same.”

The man resolutely shook off the question from the member of the god tribe. Luke, the god of the god tribe, hadn’t given this order directly, but the man thought that the different species were also the enemies of the god tribe.

“I understand. I will prepare for battle right away.”

The member of the god tribe didn’t argue with the man’s answer. It was convincing. It was true that they had to fight now or later.

“Then the battle will begin right away.”

The man held the spear in his hand and extended it toward the city of the different species.

“For God!”

Then he took the lead and started running.
