Serin was currently looking at the most famous community on the Another World community sites.
A trending post sitting at the very top of "Another Level."

What do you all think the moment you see the clips?
Doesn't it make you think this is the "real" Another World?
Since some people still apparently don't get it, I'll just give you the answer.
All of you who looked down on Dancer and called it a trash class and went out of your way to ignore and block party requests—the era where you're the ones trembling has arrived.
The "Imperial Dancer" is now going to be the one filtering you out and picking party members from now on, yeah.
Got it?
Right now, the Dancer Class is literally "invincible."
And among them, Rin is "god."
Rin has hit the peak as a Dancer and is opening the Dancer era,
surely there aren't still idiots swinging greatswords like brainless Berserkers or shooting from range like losers as Gunners?
I'm calling it now: the answer is to delete your main right this second and raise a Dancer.
I already sold off my main's gear and bought Legendary Dancer gear lol
If you're about to start Dancer right away, upvote lol

The comments strung out below it were an utter mess of jokes, memes, insults, and seriousness all mixed together.
"What the... why."
And Serin's expression as she looked at the trending post was rotting in real time.
Her face scrunched up sharply, like someone who had just seen something they never wanted to see.
"Why are they seriously doing this."
Serin felt tired, but the more she looked at the trending post, the more clearheaded she became.
It was the kind of content and subject matter that snapped her awake, as if someone had dumped cold water on her from beside her.
She considered leaving a comment on the post that seemed to blindly worship Dancer, but soon shook her head, deciding it was pointless.
"I... don't know anymore."
Among the hundreds of comments, plenty of people were fighting over whether Dancer was good or bad, and there were even comments about deleting mains or not, making it truly dizzying.
Rumors were running rampant through the community to the point I wondered if I'd needlessly spread poison myself.
After checking a few comments like that, she pressed back.
Then a list of countless trending posts appeared.
[Did a new Grim Reaper Solo Raid record just drop? Damn...]
[Upvote if the tweetie server state disgusts you lol]
[Doesn't Rin not talk unless she's ended the stream? Other streams are normal, but only Rin's stream suddenly exploded?]
[???: The Grim Reaper Solo Raid is doable (Rin, Jeanne d'Arc)]
[Rin
[I tried guessing the ending after the stream went off]
[It turns out someone other than Jeanne d'Arc can do the Grim Reaper Solo Raid; is this real?]
[A current Grandmaster user explains one by one why Daji has no choice but to win.txt]
[The people ^dreaming^ that Rin could win in that situation are amazing lol]
[Daji highlight compilation.gif]
[I organized the known Great Hero info from today's Rin stream, including Daji!]
The trending posts that caught her eye were dizzying just from the titles alone.
"I really can't not look at these either."
Nearly the majority were trending posts related to herself, so it felt wrong not to look.
There were multiple trending posts speculating about the ending after the stream went off, and Sua's comment that the community was in chaos was really sinking in.
Click.
And so Serin clicked on another post.

This bastard is just god lol
Did you see Rin using "Divine Blood," a trait only true top-tier players have?
Wow, seriously, the moment Rin used Divine Blood while I was watching the stream, I let out an involuntary gasp, for real.
If anyone asks who god is, from now on just pull up this image......

Swish.
Serin, who had scrolled straight down the moment she saw it, chewed her lips and buried her face in her hands.
"Seriously... why are they doing this, really."
With my face faintly heating up, I couldn't understand why I had to be the one feeling embarrassed.
The person who wrote that cringeworthy post was that person, so why... was the embarrassment mine?
"Ugh..."
She had clicked the post thinking at least there wouldn't be any insults, but it hit her with a shock similar to reading insults.
Without even looking at the comments, Serin pressed back, wondering what trending post she should even look at this time.
Click.
And soon she clicked on a new post.

I'm not writing this to hate on Rin, and first let me state that I'm a Rin fan.
I really enjoyed today's Rin stream until it suddenly cut off, and I'm also fucking bummed I didn't get to see the ending.
Cutting the chatter and just giving the conclusion: Daji wins, yeah.
No matter how insanely skilled Rin is there, the chance of her beating Daji is close to 0.
That's just the facts.
I'm not trying to state the obvious just because Rin closed her eyes at the end. Everyone who watched the stream knows Rin said she wouldn't give up before choosing the Stage 5 trial, right? Rin was clearly about to use a new skill, and it definitely wouldn't have worked.
There are quite a few elements to infer the ending from, but the most important one to point out first is Daji's attitude.
Everyone who knows, knows that Daji didn't show her full power until Rin used Divine Blood. But after that, when Daji changed form once more, did you see Rin's expression as she looked at Daji? It was a look close to genuine disbelief.
In the end, Daji had composure from start to finish. It only seemed like she was about to properly show her strength after Rin used Divine Blood at the end, and even then, she only tried to change form after Rin had poured out skills with Divine Blood. After that, with 6 seconds of Divine Blood left, Rin would have had to end it in one skill to win,
but what are the odds Daji would just casually allow Rin's attack......

Serin looked at this post with more interest than expected and nodded at a few parts.
"They've got a better eye than I thought."
Objectively, based on how I had appeared on stream, the chance of beating Daji was indeed close to 0.
Because the viewers had no way of knowing about the skill called Dance of the Heaven-Filling Slaughtering Ghosts in the Divine Blood state.
Beyond that, there were parts that seemed to analyze Daji's attitude, skills, and psychology, and while some of it resonated, a few things were completely off.
Afterward, when curiosity led her to look at the comments on the post, Serin could only blink blankly.
[Daji fanboys are on another level, seriously]
[Get a grip lol. Why don't you just pray for Rin to lose?]
[Everything they say is right, so what's with Rin fans trembling? lol]
[I can already see Rin turning on her stream tomorrow and saying in a calm tone that she lost]
[Rin fans denying reality are legendary lmao]
[Honestly, objectively, Daji winning is right]
[The power gap was honestly overwhelming, though Rin did fight hard]
[Yeah, Rin wins]
[└ Rin fans covering their eyes and ears and just saying she wins lmao]
[└ lol. The result isn't even out yet and you're already saying she lost.]
[Daji winning is right, as expected of a Grandmaster, they can see it]
"These people fight everywhere they go."
In the comment section, about a third of the people said I would win. Or maybe a little less than that. They were fiercely fighting in the comments over whether I had lost or won.
She wondered if it was really something worth fighting over, but at the same time, it also looked like they were that curious because the stream had cut off at such an awkward moment.
Public opinion on who would win between Daji and me seemed split, but overall, the side saying I would lose was larger.
"Pfft..."
That made her laugh for no reason.
"I wonder what kind of reaction I'll get when I say I won on tomorrow's stream."
She was already looking forward to it.
On top of that, as proof, I hadn't even received the Cave of Trials clear reward yet.
—Guaranteed Mythic Item acquisition.
Since the stream had ended abruptly, she had deliberately left the Cave of Trials reward to show the viewers, and the thought that this could play out differently made her let out a silly laugh.
Just as Serin was starting to enjoy looking through the trending posts and wondering what to look at next, one title caught her eye.

Thanks to Daji appearing on today's Rin stream, the Great Hero category has gone from 2 people to 3, with one more added!
With this, the Great Hero category is now Johann, Ardelia, and Daji—3 people. Don't you see some kind of sign here!?
Story unlocks, it feels like clues are slowly appearing!
The Another World side even openly said in an interview that there are still many unreleased stories, and honestly, they haven't been unlocked for years, so isn't it about time for additional story to be released?

"...There are two more beings like Daji."
At the new information, Serin muttered blankly, her fatigue now forgotten.
She thought that beings named Johann and Ardelia must surely have been hard to meet as well, but it was still fascinating.
To think there were two more beings who shared a similar difficulty level to me. It surely didn't mean they could be met at exactly the same difficulty, but I still felt they weren't beings you could easily encounter.
Suddenly remembering that Another World was a three-year-old game, Serin even thought: if anything, wasn't three a small number?
Clunk.
Having grown interested in the new information, Serin headed to the living room to wet her throat.
Drip.
As she poured cold water from the water purifier and drank it refreshingly, she soon heard a doorbell ring.
Ding-dong!
"Sua, you're here already?"
Serin thought it was fast and checked who had rung the bell. On the camera, Sua had arrived all dressed up and was carrying several bags.
Moreover, Sua could be seen smiling with a bright expression, looking like an excited child just before receiving a gift, which made a laugh slip out of Serin too.
Clunk.
"Serin~~!"
"What did you buy so much of?"
"I just didn't know what you'd like, so I bought all sorts of delicious food! I did well, right!?"
At Sua's confident declaration, Serin burst out laughing.
