Chapter 28
Rapid blinked at the screenshot in front of her.
Was this for real?
At first, she had just been surprised and jumped up, but...
Wasn't this strange?
【Status Window】
『Seonghyun』
『Lv 15』
『Class』
→ 『Overlord』
『Title』
→ 『Monarch (Legendary)』… and 16 others.
『Stats』
→ 《Strength: 15 (13+2)》 《Agility: 17 (15+2)》
《Stamina: 12 (10+2)》 《Intelligence: 23 (20+3)》
《Wisdom: 23 (20+3)》 《Spirit: 23 (20+3)》
《Dexterity: 7 (6+1)》
『Additional Stat Points』
→ 《70》
How could these be the stats of a level 15 player?
It had to be a mistake.
But even after blinking a few times, the screenshot remained the same, and Rapid couldn't help but let out a dumbfounded laugh.
Above all, the effect on the word "Overlord" in the class section.
An ominous darkness surged, and the letters emitted a dazzling teal light.
Although it was a screenshot and she couldn't see it move, judging by the dynamism, it was definitely a moving effect.
A class-specific effect embedded in the text?
It meant only one thing.
'An Almighty class?'
And even the Monarch title.
An Almighty class with the Monarch title was top-tier even among Almighty classes.
Then came other screenshots.
Completion of the Special Grade Black Mage academy.
Although not all the titles were shown, the effect of the Monarch title was clearly displayed.
There was no room for doubt.
"Those siblings are both crazy, seriously."
She didn't mean it in a bad way.
Her voice was filled with admiration and awe.
She truly meant it.
Yoo Mina herself was considered to have top-tier talent, but for her younger brother Seonghyun to be the same...
'I must recruit him no matter what.'
No wonder Yoo Mina had attached those conditions.
She had to recruit him.
Were the conditions excessive?
No way.
'They're not enough.'
She would even add an option to increase the conditions.
She even added an option to increase the annual salary and provide additional benefits if he achieved certain milestones.
With this, the offer became one that wouldn't be outmatched anywhere.
Rapid nodded in satisfaction.
'This should be enough.'
She had thought he was trying to join through his sister's connections.
It was the opposite.
Because Yoo Mina was his sister, she could easily recruit him.
What a relief.
What if Seonghyun had gone to another guild?
Just imagining it gave her goosebumps.
The precarious balance would have been broken, and perhaps Rapid Guild would have lost their 3rd place ranking.
'Seonghyun had this kind of talent?'
Unlike his sister Yoo Mina, she only remembered him as a quiet child.
According to Yoo Mina, he was average at sports?
She seemed to recall that he was good at studying, but other than that, she hadn't heard of any other outstanding talents.
To think he had such talent in the game...
An Almighty class wasn't something you could get just with luck.
Rapid, or rather Ahn Yoojin, adjusted her glasses and smiled.
If this was the case...
'Our guild might have a new single ranker.'
It wouldn't be bad to form a new team centered around Seonghyun.
It was still premature, but once Seonghyun leveled up a bit, they could create a team.
She would have to think about that time and make plans.
Although her workload increased...
It was for the growth of the guild.
'With this, we can aim even higher.'
5.
Yesterday, after hearing what his sister Yoo Mina had said, he searched for Rapid Guild.
Various information came up, and naturally, Seonghyun couldn't help but be surprised.
"Ah?"
They were truly ranked 3rd in overall guild rankings.
And Yoo Mina herself was truly ranked 9th overall.
The number of people playing the game was 2 billion.
And among them, her guild was ranked 3rd, and her personal rank was 9th?
His sister was this amazing?
He truly couldn't believe it.
But he couldn't not believe it either.
She had shown him directly through the Eternal World app.
"Wow..."
"How is it? Do you feel your sister's greatness now?"
"Was your class also Almighty?"
"Huhuhu, of course!"
"Huh."
He wanted to think that the game was easy, but...
That couldn't be true.
Starting with the fact that both siblings had Almighty classes...
It felt unbelievable.
Seonghyun had used a cheat, but his sister had achieved this feat with her own strength.
'Well, my sister was amazing at sports.'
She had even been on the national kendo team.
She excelled in other sports as well.
She was called an athletic genius, so he could trust her now.
In a way, it was the most suitable class for Yoo Mina.
'Because she could utilize her athleticism in the game.'
Rather, it was unbelievable that Seonghyun had turned out this way.
He didn't have much athletic ability, and he wasn't particularly good at using his body.
It was only because he could obtain the memories and experiences of ghosts...
That he was able to come this far.
Moreover, to think that the guild master of the 3rd ranked guild was Yoojin noona...
"Yoojin noona is your best friend, right?"
"Yes, Yoojin."
"Wow..."
"Huhu, my friend is amazing, right?"
"Yeah. It's amazing that you're still friends with her."
"What? What do you mean by that?"
Seonghyun ignored his sister's words and looked at her Eternal World record again.
He had already sent his Eternal World character information.
She said the contract would arrive soon.
He just had to wait a little bit.
Seeing Seonghyun's reaction, his sister Yoo Mina asked triumphantly,
"Huhuhu, anyway, you understand my and Yoojin's greatness now, right?"
"Yeah, a little."
"Ahem, ahem. It's a bit embarrassing that you admit it so easily."
"Anyway, it's amazing that you two established a guild like that."
"Well, Yoojin has been ambitious since she was young."
Seonghyun nodded at Yoo Mina's words.
He hadn't seen her much, but he had heard a lot about her from his sister.
He had thought she had a very straightforward personality, but...
He didn't know she was running a huge company-like guild.
He had heard that she had people helping her...
But he had heard that she was directly involved in all the important parts.
And to think that Yoo Mina was responsible for all the combat aspects...
It was no wonder they were successful.
However, there was one thing he was a little worried about.
'Wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient to be in a guild?'
He had already heard a lot about the necessity of guilds.
Stories about raids and various benefits.
But he had also heard that, conversely, freedom could be restricted.
As long as he wore the guild emblem...
He had to be prepared for some restrictions on his freedom.
Did she read his expression?
Just then, Yoo Mina interjected,
"Our guild is basically laissez-faire."
"Laissez-faire?"
"Yeah, we don't interfere with anything other than raids. We mainly organize in teams, but you can think of those teams as being formed only for raids."
Teams only for raids?
Then what about hunting and things like that?
"There are times when we form parties with other guilds to hunt, times when we individually find parties, and times when we form parties within our guild to hunt. But I hunt alone."
"Ah? Is that allowed?"
"Of course."
"Couldn't there be traitors?"
Seonghyun's question was valid.
If they could form parties with other guilds, it meant that information within the guild could be leaked.
But Yoo Mina's reaction was indifferent.
"Hmm, at first, I thought that could happen, but no one does it?"
"...Does that make sense?"
"Well, because our guild is like this, we don't share important information with just anyone. Only those we can truly trust can become team leaders, and when they become team leaders, they can access information. And usually, those team leaders, aside from being trustworthy, have a strong sense of belonging to our guild."
"Ah."
Considering Ahn Yoojin's personality...
It seemed likely that she would have prevented such things in advance.
Then there was nothing to worry about.
They only gathered to fight during raids.
Should he say it was typical of Rapid Guild's characteristics that he found through his search?
The fastest guild in Eternal World.
There was a reason for this alias.
'They earned the alias of "fastest" by being the first to clear all new raids and existing uncleared raids.'
Although the scale of the guild, that is, the number of guild members, was small, each member's ability was outstanding, and it was a guild that aimed for an elite few.
A guild solely for raids.
A guild created to clear raids faster than anyone else.
That was Rapid.
They were good at strategizing.
They thoroughly focused on one thing.
As a result, they were able to shine at 3rd place in the overall guild rankings.
'To think I can become a member of such a guild.'
As Seonghyun was rejoicing...
His smartphone started ringing.
"Oh! Is it here?!"
"Probably."
A friend message from a new person who wasn't on Seonghyun's friend list.
Seeing the name "Rapid," it was definitely Ahn Yoojin.
When he opened the message, it was an email in the form of a contract, with detailed contents.
And looking at that part...
[Rapid - ... (Omitted) Conditions shall be increased through mutual agreement. The initial contract fee and annual salary are set at 2 billion won and 500 million won respectively, and Rapid Guild shall increase the annual salary and provide additional bonuses each time the user achieves results. In addition, Rapid Guild shall form a team with the above user as the team leader. As a future conditional option, 10% of the revenue from raid viewership tickets in which the user participates shall be paid. It is specified that this condition may also increase in the future when results are achieved. ... (Omitted)]
Like a contract, it was filled with an enormous amount of text.
But Seonghyun's eyes were glued to the conditions section.
A contract fee of 2 billion won and an annual salary of 500 million won...
But that wasn't all.
The bonus and annual salary would increase every time he achieved results?
On top of that, they would even increase the percentage of raid viewership ticket revenue?
Raid viewership tickets.
This was one of the guild's main sources of income.
Especially for Rapid Guild, which specialized in raids, these raid viewership tickets were quite important.
During raids, they would stream the raid through the guild channel, and viewers could pay a certain amount to watch the broadcast.
This amount was called a viewership ticket.
The number of viewers for popular guilds was at least a million.
Rapid Guild was also a massive organization, with the number of concurrent viewers reaching hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.
In other words, if one ticket cost 1,000 won, they could earn at least several billion won from a single broadcast.
And 10% of that?
At least hundreds of millions of won.
'Crazy.'
The contract conditions were truly praiseworthy.
As Seonghyun was stunned, his sister Yoo Mina, feeling a bit anxious, asked with a hint of worry,
"H-how is it? The conditions are good, right? J-just like I said?"
Seeing Seonghyun's status window, it was highly likely that Ahn Yoojin had followed her request.
There was even a possibility that she had offered more.
Both Ahn Yoojin and Yoo Mina felt a sense of crisis at the thought of Seonghyun going to another guild; that's how amazing his specs were.
Even when Seonghyun only mentioned that he could see ghosts in the game and gain their memories and experiences, she thought his future would be bright.
Now, he had surpassed that.
Single ranker?
With enough time, it wouldn't be a problem for Seonghyun.
His potential was that great.
Although she had spoken confidently at first, Yoo Mina, feeling uneasy, asked,
"Huh? What?"
"The conditions. Are you satisfied?"
"Ah, I already signed and sent it?"
"???"
Why was he so fast?
Well, fast was good.
Hearing Seonghyun's answer, Yoo Mina finally smiled and nodded.
Then, she had something to tell Seonghyun.
"So, which village did you decide on for your next destination?"
"Next village? Hmm, I haven't decided yet."
Seonghyun had been thinking of going to the village with Kahku's warehouse, but...
He could also obtain it through inter-village travel before graduating from the second village.
It didn't matter if he went to a different village.
If he had to choose, wouldn't it be better to go to a village with many hidden pieces?
As he was thinking about that...
Yoo Mina smiled mysteriously and said to Seonghyun,
"Then, how about Sekan Village?"
"Sekan? I don't think I've heard of it?"
It wasn't the village with Kahku's warehouse either.
As Seonghyun tilted his head, having truly heard of this village for the first time, Yoo Mina nodded.
"It's not a famous village, after all. It's a rather boring village."
"Then why are you recommending it?"
"Huhuhu, one of our guild members went there and almost reached a hidden piece but failed. After that, the hidden piece disappeared, but I thought maybe you could obtain it?"
"Oh, a lost hidden piece."
"How is it? Are you interested?"
At his sister Yoo Mina's words, Seonghyun nodded, clearly tempted.
"So, what kind of hidden piece is it?"
"There's a hidden dungeon that the former village head knew about, but he was ill, and you had to cure him to get the location of the hidden dungeon. But they failed, and no one knows the location anymore. How about it? Do you think you can go?"
"Oh, definitely."
"And that hidden dungeon is where the monster that the Hero Hindel first sealed is sleeping, or so they say?"
It seemed he had another reason to go there.
