Thompson.
An American ranker and famous streamer, he was one of the few possessors of a legendary class in Wonderland.
The Archmage, a class as straightforward as it was powerful.
Befitting his name, which he shared with a submachine gun, his signature move was to fire off a barrage of Meteors.
The Meteor barrage, both in power and spectacle, was enough to instantly make him a ranker, and his fans gave him a fitting nickname.
The Godfather, a name signifying the boss of the mafia.

With the Godfathers arrival, viewers of all nationalities began to flock to Pengkuns stream.
It was a massive ripple effect, fitting for a global streamer of his fame.
- omg.. What am I looking at?
- wtf! this is nonsense!
- I heard this event happened
- (I am Chinese)
- Whoa, the foreigners are flooding in.
Pengkun gulped, his eyes fixed on the chat window.
Foreigners were joining? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this was a first in his streaming career.
But that wasn't the only issue.
H-how many people are coming in?
500, 1,000
The viewer count was skyrocketing in real-time, quickly approaching 50,000.
It had not only shattered his personal best of ten thousand but was now soaring toward a new lifetime high.
Even as he watched in astonishment, the number was climbing by the second.
My all-time peak was ten thousand viewers and now f-fifty thousand are here?
And that was just the logged-in count.
It wouldn't be strange to assume there were even more viewers watching without logging in.
All these people had poured in just one minute after the world message appeared.
Thompson has donated 1,000,000.
- I'm frustrated translation system on
- The Godfather says he's frustrated, turn on the translation feature already.
- Slacking off.
O-one moment. Ill turn on the translation feature for you.
Pengkun hastily found and activated the translation function provided by Wonderland.
- Turn on the translation feature immediately. I cannot use Korean.
- What is the identity of this buff? I have never seen anything like it.
- Is the performer on stage a ranker? I've never seen such a special performance.
- I am Chinese. Is the silver-haired man Chinese?
Chinese, Americans, Russians
The chat room had become a veritable melting pot of nationalities.
Soon, an engrossed viewer sent a video donation.
BardBoomIsComing has donated 5,000.
- (Video) of a waving Taegeukgi.
- Wave
- Wow, just how many foreigners are there?
- Damn, the national pride is insane lol.
- lol You guys don't have anyone who triggered a world message in the beginner's village, do you?
- This is what it means to be Korean.
The viewers, who usually did their own thing, were now united in a single purpose as they typed in the chat.
It was a sense of national spirit that Yuhyeon had unintentionally created.
Just then.
Thompson has donated 500,000.
- Died of frustration. Did the handsome man on stage create this buff through his performance? The goddess too?
- Isn't it 'I thought I was going to die of frustration'?
- Just get the gist and move on lol.
- Is the translator bad or is this a gimmick?
- lol The Godfather says he died of frustration.
His speech unhindered, Thompson fired off questions like a submachine gun.
Uh
Pengkun opened his mouth to answer, but then he paused.
How much am I supposed to reveal?
There were attention-seekers like himself, who had no qualms about being known and even desired it.
But on the other hand, there were also people who disliked having their identity revealed to others.
Would Yuhyeon-nim really want that?
The Yuhyeon that Pengkun had seen so far was a mysterious figure.
He would smile brightly upon receiving money, yet display the dignity of a maestro when performing.
And overall, his demeanor was remarkably calm and serious.
Im not sure.
Frankly, there was more he didn't know about Yuhyeon than he did.
Besides, Pengkun was not only a streamer but also a player who enjoyed Wonderland.
How many times had he been in trouble because of his fame?
Back when I was a beginner, I was constantly picked on and PKd for no reason.
On top of that, people would brazenly demand money from him, and if he ignored them, they would leave malicious comments.
He had hardly been able to hunt properly due to the constant random attacks and provocations.
In this situation, was it right to carelessly disclose information about Yuhyeon?
His intuition told him it was definitely not a good idea.
Thompson has donated 1,000,000.
- Why aren't you answering? Is the money not enough?
- Wow, crazy. He's trying to get donation money from the Godfather.
- He's an experienced streamer lol. Gotta seize a rare opportunity like this.
- Upvote if you think Pengkun is happy about donation time lol. I'll start.
Let them misunderstand all they want.
Along with Thompsons donation, a flood of chat messages poured in.
Despite it all, Pengkun remained silent instead of answering.
His gaze eventually fell upon the man on stage, Yuhyeon.
How much higher will he climb?
This was a person who had achieved one mythical feat after another in the beginner's village alone.
It was clear that Yuhyeon would ascend to heights he couldn't even imagine.
At least, Pengkun was certain of it, and there was absolutely no reason to get on the bad side of such a person.
TheGame has donated 10,000.
HOTGUY22 has donated 10,000.
.
.
.
The continued silence was met with a parade of donations from the viewers.
They had misunderstood, thinking Pengkun was deliberately creating a moment to rake in money.
He had no intention of revealing Yuhyeon's identity, but he also had no intention of letting the stream become dull.
Just staying silent isn't the attitude of a professional streamer.
There was a technique called noise marketing.
It was a method of deliberately creating noise, whether positive or negative, to pique consumer curiosity and increase product sales.
The same applied to streaming.
The easiest way to divert attention from Yuhyeon was to draw it to himself.
From that perspective, this was the method Pengkun chose.
Well Im still getting to know him myself. But one thing is for certain.
Pengkun raised his energy into streamer mode and shouted.
The only streamer who has a connection with that man right now is me!
A single, resolute declaration.
His words quickly threw the chat into a frenzy.
Thompson has donated 1,000,000.
- Died of frustration. Answer quickly.
And it came with a hefty donation.
The effect is undeniable.
Pengkun stared at the flood of donations.
It was a stream of support he would never have received if he were streaming alone.
My, my Ill have to recalculate the earnings.
Pengkun made a firm decision in his mind.
He would give all of todays donation money to Yuhyeon.
Commencing the class change to the legendary class Conductor of Melody!
A great light began to envelop Yuhyeons body.
It was a beautiful and mesmerizing golden light.
The motes of light gathered and entered Yuhyeon's solar plexus, soon spreading a sensation of immense warmth and comfort.
A warm and comfortable sensation
The moment Yuhyeon felt that sensation.
You have achieved a great feat as a performer in a short period of time.
You participated in a ritual ceremony that the royal court musicians scorned, and through a special performance, you moved the heart of the goddess.
Charles, Geye, Martin, and even the villagers felt abundant happiness through your performance.
You performed to touch hearts rather than chase money, and you walked a unique path that no other bard has walked.
This has reached Leaf, who spread love and peace through music and unified the continent with his songs.
The previous Conductor of Melody, Leaf, acknowledges you as his new successor!
Finally, a legendary class!
Yuhyeon clenched his fist.
He already knew how valuable a legendary class was through various verifications in the past.
But what excited him wasn't just the outstanding value of a legendary class.
They felt happiness through my performance
It was the moment his long-held conviction was validated, and the result was returning to him in the form of a legendary class.
It was the moment that proved the path he had walked was not wrong, that he had made many people happy.
That was what thrilled him.
Congratulations!
You have changed your class to the legendary Conductor of Melody.
Having changed to a legendary class, you will acquire new legendary skills.
Verifying the performers skill to grant a suitable skill.
You already possess performance skills that surpass those of a royal court musician.
Creating a new skill instead of the existing reward for you, who possesses performance skills of Rank 7 or higher.
You acquire two skills befitting the new Conductor of Melody!
Creating a new skill for me?
Yuhyeons eyes widened.
In all his experience, he had never heard of the system creating a skill specifically for a user.
You have acquired the Heavenly Performance and Magical Score Creation skills!
Yuhyeon then checked the skills he had been granted.
Heavenly Performance
Grade: Mythic
Effect: Passive
Abilities:
- Can play all existing instruments in Wonderland.
- Ignores instrument mastery skills.
- Provides a special buff when playing directly without using performance skills.
(This is determined by the performer's emotions and performance skill.)
- (Undisclosed)
- (Undisclosed)
Mythic?
Yuhyeons eyes narrowed as he checked the skill.
This was the first he had heard of a Mythic grade.
Even Sangcheol, who lived and breathed Wonderland, had only ever said that Legendary was the highest grade.
To be able to play all instruments without being affected by mastery.
Mastery was a passive skill that provided buffs for a specific weapon.
For example, learning Greatsword Mastery meant receiving various buffs like weight compensation and damage enhancement when using a greatsword.
Of course, one could use a greatsword without learning the mastery.
However, without the buffs, the weapon would feel heavy and the attack speed would be slow, essentially starting with a self-imposed penalty.
Doesnt this basically mean all my instrument masteries are maxed out?
It was written that he wouldn't be affected by mastery as long as he played directly.
This meant that any critical drawbacks or penalties of an instrument would be completely offset.
It was effectively the same as having every type of instrument mastery at its maximum level.
Only I can play every instrument that exists in this world.
He had heard that most players focused on a single instrument due to a lack of skill points.
Only he had become able to ignore the effects of mastery and play every instrument.
It was a moment that opened a new horizon no other bard had ever walked.
Next, it was time to check Magical Score Creation.
Magical Score Creation
Grade: Mythic
Effect: Passive
Abilities:
- Can create scores for all existing instruments in Wonderland.
- Ignores score mastery skills.
- Imbues a special magic when creating a score directly without using score creation skills.
(This is determined by the performer's composition skill.)
- (Undisclosed)
- (Undisclosed)
Its similar in nature to the performance skill.
The content was the same as the Mythic performance skill he had received before.
If he created a score himself, he could do so while ignoring the mastery for all instruments.
However, one line particularly stood out.
Special Abilities:
- When performing with a magical score, casting time is reduced by about 30, and this reduction increases as the grade rises.
- A score, once created, can be duplicated at the same grade.
- The skill's abilities will be enhanced upon filling a certain amount of fame with the score.
!
Yuhyeons eyes grew round.
A score, once created, could be duplicated at the same grade, and additional abilities would be unlocked by gaining fame.
It was as if the system was encouraging him to create scores and spread them far and wide.
Perhaps its only natural.
After a brief thought, Yuhyeon accepted it.
For a musician, it wasn't strange at all to want to spread their music throughout the world.
These skills are perfect for me, arent they?
Both skills were perfectly suited for Yuhyeon, granting him exactly what he needed most.
After all, the biggest reason he played Wonderland was because he could play instruments himself.
The goddess Cecilia congratulates the birth of the new Conductor of Melody.
The goddess tells you to check your status window.
A sweet, feminine voice echoed in Yuhyeons ears.
Come to think of it, its about time I checked.
With one hectic day after another, it had been a while since he had checked his status window.
Yuhyeon opened his status window for the first time in a long while.
Tiring!

Ive grown a lot in the meantime.
Compared to last time, he had grown tremendously in terms of both stats and skills.
He even had the same number of skill points, except for the ones he used to learn Critical Hit.
Isnt this pretty high?
The number of stat points a user could get up to level 10 was 50.
For example, by distributing 10 points to each stat, one could add 10 to the base stat of 5, resulting in a final stat of 15.
I must be at least two or three times higher than other users.
However, Yuhyeon had raised his stats to nearly 30 without allocating a single point.
Even if he distributed 10 points to each, he would have a final stat of 40.
And they said Divinity and Charm cant be raised through normal means.
Moreover, he had heard that Divinity and Charm could only be increased through rewards like titles.
In other words, including those two stats, it was no exaggeration to say he had achieved unspeakable growth.
And now, the legendary class and skills he received today were added to that?
He might be at a level so far beyond other players of the same level that they couldn't even compare.
What kind of special buff will I get when I play?
He suddenly became curious about the effects of the skills he received as a reward for his legendary class.
Providing a special buff depending on his skilljust hearing it sounded like a very vague explanation.
He was itching to go back and play right away.
Just as Yuhyeon was thinking that.
Tiring!
A quest has been generated.
Sudden Quest: Offer a Performance for the Goddess
Grade: ??
Requirement: Conductor of Melody
Reward: The Goddess's Joy
Description: The goddess Cecilia requests a performance from you, the new Conductor of Melody. There is no problem in refusing the performance, but if you do present her with one, she will be genuinely delighted.
Perfect timing.
A small smile formed on Yuhyeons lips.
The reward was the Goddess's Joy. While it might seem modest, for a performer, what greater reward could there be?
And I was just wanting to play.
Above all, he wanted to check the effects of his new skills.
The limitless potential of his legendary passive skills.
With that thought, Yuhyeon spoke in a simple tone.
I accept.
It was the moment for the first performance by Yuhyeon, the new Conductor of Melody.
