Chapter Title: Unhyang's Fury
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A cafe located in the city on the 6th floor.
Unhyang, who had been watching Soo-hyuk's broadcast there, let out a scream.
"Eek!"
Table Shattered
Cheongryang, who had been sipping coffee across from her, jumped in surprise and quickly grabbed her coffee cup.
"W-what is it?"
"Agh! What the hell is this guy! Why did he suddenly go for the lips?!"
"Lips? What's wrong with the lips?"
Wondering what on earth had happened, Cheongryang hurriedly checked the broadcast.
Soo-hyuk frozen in shock. And Viola pulling her lips away.
From the chat, she could roughly guess what had gone down.
Viola's kiss.
That was why Unhyang was so furious.
"Earned 50,000 points."
Cheongryang, who often monitored Soo-hyuk's broadcasts, took this situation positively.
A beauty's kiss. Plus 50,000 points.
There was nothing bad about it—in fact, it was good enough to dance over.
"Isn't that great?"
"Great my ass!"
Cheongryang looked puzzled at Unhyang's outburst.
"Then what's so bad about it?"
"Soo-hyuk's lips got stolen!"
"And?"
"I don't like it. Grrr..."
Unhyang clenched her fists, trembling with rage.
She clearly wasn't happy about this situation at all.
And then Viola's words followed.
"Shall we go together?"
"To Asgard."
Her eyes flipped completely.
"Go where?!"
Furniture Destroyed
"H-hey!"
After a while of Unhyang wreaking havoc on innocent tables, it was the cafe staff—not Cheongryang—who finally stopped her.
Unhyang paid double compensation for the broken table right there and stormed off to another seat, fuming.
Cheongryang, who had been calming her down, sighed and continued monitoring the broadcast.
'This broadcast is almost at the end too.'
It was short for a Keonwang, but still quite long.
It was a trial that should have ended with rescuing the Valkyrie. But Soo-hyuk had gone beyond that once again.
The path to Asgard opening was the fruit of his efforts.
Thanks to that?
'Viewers...'
Cheongryang stuck out her tongue at the skyrocketing viewer count.
'Insane.'
This content, which she hadn't thought much of, was a massive hit.
Faced with Viola's proposal, Soo-hyuk hesitated for a moment.
It wasn't a place he could readily agree to visit.
'An invitation to Asgard...'
This proposal was surely part of the trial as well.
Accepting or rejecting it would determine the direction of the next trial.
'Is it okay?'
In his possession was the Heart of Thunder. And within that heart dwelt another item the gods desired: the Heart of Lightning.
In an uncertain situation where he didn't know how Asgard would treat him.
They might even try to take the Hearts of Lightning and Thunder he held.
But.
'To obtain the other half, I must go to Asgard.'
Asgard was an impregnable fortress.
Countless Valkyries guarded it, and many gods protected its domain.
Forced entry was impossible.
But with the Valkyrie Viola, he could step onto that land as a guest.
After considerable deliberation.
"...Let's go."
Soo-hyuk made his decision.
And at that moment.
The trial was completely over.
A pure white light enveloped his body, washing away all colors around him.
The scenery changed in an instant. The world surrounding him shifted. There were only two cases like this.
Starting a trial, or ending one.
This time, it was the latter.
In the new world before his eyes, Soo-hyuk caught a familiar scent.
'6th floor.'
A world filled with the smell of grass. The 6th floor consisted of a forest packed with tall trees.
Tall buildings made of sturdy wood. Dew pooled here and there.
The world of the 6th floor, Elysium.
'Choosing Asgard was the final step.'
The 5th floor trial apparently had a much larger scale than he'd imagined.
His choice had essentially predetermined the 6th floor trial. Most likely, the next one would take place with Asgard as the backdrop.
"He's here."
"See? Told you we'd see him if we came here."
"Is that him? What if it's just someone with the same mask?"
"Idiot. You can tell from the broadcast..."
Soo-hyuk turned at the murmuring voices.
Quite a crowd had gathered around. His mask stood out, but some seemed to have been waiting for him specifically.
'Come to think of it...'
He'd forgotten to check viewer numbers midway.
"...?"
Soo-hyuk's eyes widened at the suddenly surged number.
Over ten thousand more than when he started.
Passing 20k was surprising enough, but 7k more on top?
"Uh... Lots of you here."
Soo-hyuk momentarily ignored the stares and spoke up.
Soo-hyuk nodded.
"Of course we need to chat."
He'd muted chat initially to avoid distractions during the trial.
It was hard to mind viewers during the long Keonwang content.
Moreover.
There was an important reason to resume communication.
"Got stuff to receive."
The barrage of messages made his eyes spin.
There had been many piled-up missions. And he hadn't missed a single one.
Even the absurd one about kissing Viola.
His pockets were suddenly flush.
He knew they'd empty again soon, but it still felt good.
'Procedures first? Or level up skills?'
Happy thoughts were brief.
To refocus on the broadcast, Soo-hyuk quickly scanned the chat.
The chat topic was Soo-hyuk's climbing speed in the Victory Tower.
A newbie in broadcasting and as a Player, he'd reached the 6th floor.
Players at the 6th floor weren't ignored anywhere. This put him beyond seasoned Player status—any guild would welcome him.
The chat scrolled too fast to follow fully.
The firepower of over 20k viewers was beyond even his dynamic vision.
And amid that.
Reinhardt.
A top ranker and streamer, famous enough that no viewer was unaware.
His loose connection to Lee Soo-hyuk had earned him the nickname 'One Sword Seat', so his appearance ignited the viewers.
'He finally knows.'
Soo-hyuk carefully schooled his expression to give nothing away.
'He's gotten very close.'
Since killing Isaac. Since Reinhardt first sponsored his stream.
He'd thought they'd clash eventually.
The later, the better. Ideally, never.
He was already busy hunting Kim Il-su's head. Clashing with that guy gained nothing.
Thus.
"Yes."
To avoid suspicion, he couldn't lie.
"I know him."
The long broadcast ended.
Heading to the lodging per Unhyang's coordinates, Soo-hyuk felt fatigued.
'Trouble's coming.'
Reinhardt didn't say more after Soo-hyuk admitted knowing Isaac.
I'll come see you.
That was all the guy said.
Of course.
With his blood slain, how furious must he be?
Probably eyes rolled back by now.
'He must've already found out I was a classmate. Yet he asked with a big sponsorship...'
No need to overthink. The answer was clear.
'He suspects me.'
Reinhardt.
Strip away the silly 'One Sword Seat' nickname, and he was a high ranker titled Golden Lion.
Such a guy might become an enemy.
"Would've been nicer if he'd come later."
The silver lining: he hadn't come too soon.
Now at 6th floor past 5th, wielding the Master of Lightning.
Soo-hyuk had means to fight stronger foes.
Plus.
'20k points, thanks.'
Whatever the reason, the 20k was sweet.
With a pleasant chime, the lodging door opened.
The 6th floor lodgings exuded antique charm. Elysium generally lacked opulent buildings.
The lodging smelled nicely of grass and wood, not overpowering. Unhyang and Cheongryang sipped tea in one corner of the lobby.
"Over here!"
Unhyang waved upon spotting Soo-hyuk.
The moment he declared Keonwang, she'd rushed up to the 6th floor with Cheongryang.
As Soo-hyuk joined them, Unhyang grinned more exaggeratedly than usual.
"Good work."
"Yeah, it was."
"What'll you have? They serve food here too."
Soo-hyuk nodded.
"Sure. Not hungry, but I've got an appetite."
Elysium's food tasted healthy. Not hating that, Soo-hyuk ordered several dishes.
Before the food arrived.
Unhyang, Cheongryang, and Soo-hyuk chatted idly.
"Broadcast reactions were killer. Viewers barely dropped."
"Valkyries rarely appear in trials. Demons are basically cheat keys too."
As Cheongryang said, half the broadcast's hype came from the trial theme.
God clan vs. demon clan. Especially for Players viewing demons as archenemies, a confrontation trial was riveting.
"Peak viewers over 30k... You could hit major streamer status soon."
Soo-hyuk smiled awkwardly at the praise.
Nothing else to say. Just glad it was doing well.
Like old friends, Unhyang and Cheongryang bantered in sync until the food arrived, then changed topics.
"Oh, about this trial reward."
"The Heart of Thunder?"
Unhyang nodded vigorously, as if expecting him to ask.
"Yeah. Thought about how to use it?"
"Material item, so gotta craft something..."
"Don't know any crafters, right?"
"Yeah."
Post-reincarnation, Soo-hyuk had focused solely on trials and broadcasts. No crafter contacts.
Unhyang smirked triumphantly, as expected.
"I know one."
"Really?"
"Yep."
Confident tone.
And sure enough.
"Kindre. Famous demon sword crafter. Know him?"
