Chapter Title: HoneyTube Broadcast Ignites
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HoneyTube broadcast started!
-Fck, the lag is insane! How are there this many viewers?
Whoa lololol Started and already at 100k? For real?
It's climbing! Broke 200k!
300k in just 2 minutes... This thing's about to blow up, right?
Insane... Climbing by the ten thousands in real time;;
As HoneyTube went live, everyone waiting in the lobby flooded into his stream.
Muन0001 donated 300,000 won.
- You're finally here!
'No way, this is huge...'
Jang Dae-hwi couldn't hide his shock at the skyrocketing numbers.
Just from turning on the stream, it broke 400k viewers in minutes.
And that was just the start.
Goorinis22 donated 100,000 won.
- Studied up on this event beforehand. Consider this tuition!
AoKs donated 200,000 won.
- Tuition for me too lololol
ShinSaIpNiDangvv donated 1,000,000 won.
- Ugh, you guys have no class. Tuition for this premium lesson and you're skimping at 100k? lololol
JeonsaengEeSsalBeolLe donated 2,000,000 won.
- Minimum 200k, come on lololol 100k? What?
Donations poured in nonstop.
In just 5 minutes, they topped 10 million won.
"Alright, welcome everyone."
Jeong Hoon grinned and greeted the viewers.
-Hi hi
-Bro, turn on HoneyTube more often for real. 140 million subs and barely any streams?
-If you don't like it, leave lololol
-Fr fr lol
"Sorry about that. Hard to stream without any hot tips, you know."
-But what's with all those guys coming at you?
-Trying to gang up?
-Dumbasses lolol Messing with Honey 1
Jeong Hoon grinned.
"These are all avatars."
-Avatars?
-You mean those contractor dudes trying to recruit?
-Nothing came to me...
-They skip the rotten ones from the start lolololol
Comments kept rolling in.
Meanwhile, the avatars surrounded Jeong Hoon.
"What's that fool babbling about?"
"Praying to his god before he dies?"
They each spat a line in their native tongues.
But since they'd entered the survival map, translation came easy.
"He must die, right?"
"Yeah. That's how we get the massive reward."
When they chose F-9 and entered, the Transcendents had given them a quest.
Exterminate all humans here.
Don't let a single one escapewith that condition, they'd instantly killed two humans at the start.
Two left: the one right in front of them, and one hiding behind.
"Alright, time to start the breakdown."
Before kicking off the event, he'd registered seven skills.
He activated oneSupremacy of the Heavenly Demonand shot forward.
With levels and all stats fixed at 100, reading Jeong Hoon's moves wasn't hard.
"Hup!"
A burly man swung his axe with full force.
Jeong Hoon twisted mid-leap, deflecting the attack with his dagger.
'Now.'
He timed it as the man's balance shifted toward the axe, thrusting the dagger through his throat.
"Gahk!"
The man spewed blood and collapsed.
You've slain an Avatar of a Transcendent.
Contractor death grants 30,000,000 EXP from the Transcendent.
Title Adversary of Avatars grows to Lv.4.
"You bastard!"
One avatar down, the rest charged, unleashing skills at Jeong Hoon.
Judging a single dagger couldn't block them, Jeong Hoon activated his second registered skill.
Using Light Barrier.
A Celestial-grade Light Barrier enveloped Jeong Hoon's body.
KABOOM!
Explosions hammered the ears as magic clashed with the barrier, smoke swallowing a 200-meter radius.
Vision obscured by smoke.
Jeong Hoon stepped into Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon.
He'd memorized their positions from the assault, so targets locked easily.
First, the one spamming magic from behind.
Jeong Hoon blinked in front of the mage, whose eyes bulged.
"H-How?!"
The guy scrambled a spell, but Jeong Hoon was a beat faster.
Dagger straight through the heart.
"Guh!"
You've slain an Avatar of a Transcendent.
Contractor death grants 30,000,000 EXP from the Transcendent.
Next, the mage nearby.
Blood-slick dagger slashed the throat.
"Gahk!"
Just like that, two mages turned to cold corpses.
"Damn it!"
"Can't see through this fcking smoke!"
Jeong Hoon sneered and stepped into Supremacy again.
Lightning-fast swings lopped off avatar heads one by one.
You've completed the quest.
You've reached transcendence.
Job change to Dark Lord (5th Advancement).
All stats increase by 200.
All skill damage increases by 20.
Achievement unlocked! Completed 'Transcendence.' 200,000 achievement points awarded.
Rune equip limit increased to max '12'.
Acquired 10 Celestial Energy.
First access to Celestial Power. 30,000 achievement points awarded.
"I did it..."
Ha-jin braced his shaking legs against a rock, barely holding on.
It had been gruelinghundreds of moments where he wanted to quit.
Face caked in blood, armor in tatters.
Unrepairable without fixes soon.
If he hadn't leveled up and boosted stats in the demon realm, he'd have failed ages ago.
'Now I can join Hoon in the event.'
By now, Jeong Hoon was deep in the event.
Dae-hwi hyung filming beside him.
Now Ha-jin could join and dive in.
"Congratulations on reaching transcendence."
The one who'd given the 5th quest: the First Dark Lord.
Ha-jin had cleared the 4th through him too.
"...Thank you."
Ha-jin forced a smile.
"Drink this at least."
The First Dark Lord handed over a potion.
Drained, Ha-jin shakily gulped it down.
"Praise for facing your limits and not giving up."
"Yes..."
"Well then..."
The Dark Lord's words cut off.
Space warped, a rift opening to reveal glowing red eyes.
"Huh?!"
Meeting those red eyes froze Ha-jin stiff.
Even after 5th advancement, the deathly terror consumed him.
It's been a while, human.
"..."
Why so surprised? Think I wouldn't know you're with that human?
"Wh-what do you want with me...?"
Baal wanted Hoon.
Why come to him?
Heh, simple. The event in progress.
"Event...?"
Your lord plans to alter it.
"Alter?"
Would've loved to reach that human in the event if possible... Watch. Your world perishes.
Baal vanished after that.
Tension released, Ha-jin collapsed.
"The event's changing...?"
His mind cleared, questions bubbled up.
"...But why tell me?"
The battle ended in a flash.
Jeong Hoon shook blood from his dagger and returned to Jang Dae-hwi, hunkered behind a drum.
"Alright, let's move."
"Uh... y-yeah."
Jang Dae-hwi stared blankly, out of it.
Camera must've slipped; he'd forgotten to film.
"Hyung, you didn't forget to record, right?"
"N-No way..."
Jang Dae-hwi coughed awkwardly, checking the camera.
His face twisted in dismay.
"Wh-what?! Why's it doing this?"
"Something wrong?"
"Th-the stream exploded!"
"Huh?"
Jeong Hoon frowned, checking comments.
They were still flooding inno way it crashed.
"Hang on... Let me reopen the stream."
"Okay."
Looks like departure's delayed.
'Monsters incoming soon.'
Survival's focus: endure.
This round, survive monster waves.
Rankings by survival plus kills: top to bottom.
Death drops you.
But time passed, stream still down.
"Weird... What's wrong?"
Jang Dae-hwi grew antsy.
He'd come to film, but with the stream dead, no point.
Had to hurry.
Longer the outage, worse the viewer backlash.
"Hold up, hyung."
Jeong Hoon called in a grave tone.
"Yeah?"
Sensing the shift, Jang Dae-hwi turned.
Jeong Hoon's face was stone.
"Don't restore the stream."
"Don't?"
"Yeah. And you got a message. Check it."
"Sec."
One new message notification, as said.
'What the?'
Curious, he opened it.
Event Change Notice
Event change details.
Jang Dae-hwi tilted his head, reading.
-Event changing.
Level, skill, gear fixes removed.
Earth penalized every 10 minutes.
End event by clearing zone quests.
"Wh-what the hell!"
Jang Dae-hwi yelped in shock.
Sudden change bad enoughpenalties on Earth?
Not all.
-Successful completion skyrockets episode success rate.
Rank rewards unchanged.
Clear intent: 100 episode completion.
'Escanon stepped in.'
Jeong Hoon bit his lip.
With True Asura acquired, he'd expected smooth sailing.
Not this backstab.
'They really have me pinned.'
Aiming for the 'Mark' reward this event.
The unfinished Overlord Titan.
They want to block its completion.
'Master!'
'Whew, couldn't say sht and it was suffocating. Finally breathing.'
Fixes off, Mukho regained function.
Anima too.
They savored the air, then tilted at Jeong Hoon's expression.
'Hm? Master, why the face?'
'Something happen?'
It had.
Big time.
"Plans totally fcked."
No time to waste.
Move fast, or Earth's doom accelerates.
Stream crashed fck
-Sht;; Was getting good and it dies
No fix?
Who's the idiot on camera?

Dizzy af...
HoneyTube viewers were riot-ready.

But wtf is this event change?

Sudden change plunged the world into chaos.

A massive boom echoed.
