Kim Sinhyeok is NOT treated as S-rank by luck alone!
Some superhumans dropped me into the abyss, thinking they're so great.
Their shoulders kept rising higher and higher. That's why I targeted them and got counterattacked.
Of course, this won't drop me into the abyss.
But it will hurt quite a bit.
Maybe right now, they're controlling comments while reacting to people's responses in surprise.
'That's why you can't just mess with anyone.'
Of course, Park Jincheon was already on the tiger's back. If he changes attitude here, he'll fall off the tiger's back. He has to maintain this stance at all costs.
Probably, he'll keep uploading videos targeting me. While doing so, he'll pray for the Heavenly Demon to disappear.
But unfortunately, that doesn't happen.
I pray for his good fortune.
I want to see him fall into the abyss.
Anyway, there was this small(?) issue. Apart from that, it was quite peaceful.
I enjoyed the peace while editing the YouTube video.
This video didn't require much editing. Just added some BGM at the end. I didn't cut it much on purpose.
'That way, it will explode at the end.'
After finishing the work, I watched the video from start to finish.
At the beginning, it was a bit boring. But the surrounding scenery was pretty, so it was worth watching.
And the video gradually got more immersive towards the end.
It was because of my determined climb up one step at a time.
It even felt like a desperate emotion.
Later, in the video, I was covered in the Harpy's blood. Even in that state, I kept climbing up.
It looked like watching a boxer who gets up after falling and keeps challenging. A boxer who grits his teeth and advances even after being hit and knocked down.
Something made my heart warm.
I unconsciously focused on watching the video.
At that moment, one BGM played.
It was the grand BGM from the legendary boxing movie Rocky.
My determined climb up the stairs without giving up matched the BGM perfectly till the end.
The BGM gradually became grander, heading to the climax.
My footsteps didn't stop. I kept advancing towards the peak.
Then, finally, I reached the top.
The BGM headed to the climax.
At that moment, I raised my hand towards the sky.
My eyes suddenly reddened. It felt like tears would come out strangely.
At that time, suddenly, the Heavenly Demon's voice came from behind.
"...Amazing."
"Huh?"
She said that and went back into the room.
Probably watching the video.
Still, thanks to the Heavenly Demon, I didn't cry.
That was fortunate.
Watching your own video and sniffling is the ugliest thing.
Anyway, this should be enough to upload as is.
I didn't have high expectations. Because it didn't have content to surprise everyone like previous videos.
It was just my desperate appearance.
'Hmm, still, if it comes out to around 2 million views, that would be good.'
Due to copyright, no revenue, but I wanted many views.
Anyway, I uploaded the video.
And prepared to train in martial arts. This time, unlike before, I didn't just sit and watch the video reactions.
How much time passed?
After finishing the martial arts training. Perhaps because of the higher realm, training was much easier than before. It was so amazing and fun that I overdid it more than usual.
After martial arts training, I washed up cleanly and sat in front of the PC.
I was curious about the reactions to the uploaded video.
Of course, as I said earlier, I didn't have high expectations.
According to my (?) YouTuber sense, it didn't seem like a big hit...
"What?!"
But my intuition was wrong.
I checked the video views with a surprised face.
"2 million?"
I had expected 2 million earlier. But that was after considering the entire long period. I never thought of 2 million in such a short time.
'Recommendation count 500,000?'
Moreover, the recommendation ratio was insane. 500,000 out of 2 million recommended this video. I've never seen such overwhelming recommendation ratio.
I quickly checked the comments.
All the comments were nothing but praise.
Everyone praised my will not to give up till the end.
Many people had seen me as 'the guy who summoned the Heavenly Demon by luck'. But with this video, I expected those views to disappear quite a bit.
'Feels good.'
Nothing feels better than someone recognizing my efforts. It felt like dopamine filling my head.
'Should I check the articles?'
From the YouTube reactions, there must have been many articles. I immediately went to a portal site to check the articles.

The articles were also full of praise for me. It hadn't been that long since I uploaded the video. Yet, there were many articles about me.
'Feels good.'
As I said earlier, many people had been treating me as lucky guy for a while.
But that won't be the case now.
From the article reactions, I felt it would definitely change from before.
'I did well to climb till the end.'
I originally wanted to give up.
Honestly, if there was no Heavenly Demon, I would have given up right away.
But watching the Heavenly Demon silently climbing the stairs, I steadied my heart. So I could climb till the end.
I smiled at the corner of my mouth while continuing to check articles and comments.
This smile of mine continued for a long time.
Rather, the longer time passed, the deeper the smile became.
In such a situation, a call came.
"Uhm... Shin, Shinhyuk! How have you been?"
"Me too, I'm fine."
"Glad to hear that. Did you eat?"
"B, I ate! More importantly, is the time okay now?"
"Ahem."
"Hello."
"Uhm... Shin, Shinhyuk! How have you been?"
"I've been fine. How about you?"
"Me too, I'm fine."
"Glad to hear that. Did you eat?"
"B, I ate! More importantly, is the time okay now?"
Park Soyun's state seemed off.
It should be said quite different from her usual appearance?
'What?'
I continued the call with a puzzled face.
"Yeah. It's fine? Why? Is there something wrong?"
"T, that's..."
It seemed like something was happening. The voice was full of embarrassment.
'What? Is money short?'
Suddenly, I realized she called to borrow money from me.
Of course, if it was Park Soyun, I could lend money right away. It could be a huge amount.
"How much do I need?"
"What?"
"You called to borrow money, right? If it's you, I can do up to 100 million. Just say."
"W, what are you talking about! It's not like that!"
Fortunately(?) it wasn't a call to borrow money.
"Then, what is it?"
"T, that's... Listen without misunderstanding."
"Yeah."
"You know. Shinhyuk. What do you think about... u, u-marrying me?"
"Huh? U-marriage?"
My eyes widened slightly. Because it was a completely unexpected word.
"Uhm. U, u-marriage. Just for one day, please!"
"Why? Did you get a punishment?"
"Uhm. Anyone can u-marry, but... the only man I know is you..."
Hearing Park Soyun's words, I felt a strange feeling.
It should be said oddly, I felt relieved?
"Ahem, really?"
"P, please! This is a 3 million won punishment, I can't cancel it!"
"No... suddenly asking me to u-marry..."
"I'll do well from now on! I'll do everything you ask! Huh? So just once!"
Park Soyun was quite earnestly pleading. This side of hers was the first time.
