The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 59

* * *

After the end of the TOP 100 promotion matches on the 25th, the next day.

[Sung JiHan, who became the strongest Bronze in the world! TOP 100 champion!]

["Archmage" Baerun said... He really did it?!]

[The American commentator who was simultaneously broadcasted worldwide was amazed by the Bronze player who participated in the TOP 100 after 4 years, only to find out that he is "Korean."]

[What is Sung JiHan's gift? - Experts say, "At least SSS grade!!"]

[American commentator Christopher said, "Sung JiHan should be recruited at the national level" - unanimous praise!]

[The strongest rising star in 4 years! The world wonders, "How strong is South Korea?"]

[American viewers envy the legendary player of Korea, Sung JiHan]

Korean portal sites and SNS were flooded with articles about Sung JiHan.

And no wonder, it had been 4 years since a Korean player participated in the TOP 100 matches.

And winning the championship had never happened before, except for the Sword King.

A sudden supernova appeared!

It was natural for people's attention to be focused on him.

-Kiyaahhh~ Jjumoooo! How long has it been since we had this much national pride!!

-I lost 10 million won by betting against the country... Baerun was so disappointing ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-It's amazing enough that he promoted to Bronze in just a month, but winning the TOP 100. What is his real gift?

-Sung JiHan~~ Channel~~ When he reaches 1 million subscribers~~ He will reveal something~~ Everyone, please press 'Like' and 'Comment' ^^7

-What? He already has 300,000 subscribers? He's a god now?

-Literally a 'god' Silver ㅋㅋㅋ

The TOP 100 promotion matches that were watched worldwide.

Sung JiHan's channel, which showed surprising results here, was not only receiving attention in Korea but also gaining subscribers rapidly worldwide.

And that's not all.

Even in overseas Battle.net-related news, Sung JiHan's news was attracting great attention, being featured on the front page of portal sites along with the winner of the Platinum League promotion matches.

-But Christopher keeps saying he should be taken to the US. He won't really go, right?

-There's a possibility. He doesn't even have a guild, does he?

-That's right ㅋㅋㅋ Maybe he intentionally didn't join a guild to increase his value?

-The Sword King went to Japan, if Sung JiHan is taken away too, Korea will be hopeless.

-If that's the case, just give Sword Palace to Sung JiHan.

└Are you crazy? Do you know how much that is?

└Then what will we use to hold on? Is there anything as good as Sword Palace?

└ㅋㅋIf that happens, we'll end up last in the Northeast Asia League.

"There are so many replies..."

Kim HeeSoo furrowed his brows and massaged his temples in annoyance.

Sung JiHan.

He didn't know he would win the championship when he entered the TOP 100.

"Did I do it for nothing by offering to manage him...?"

He worked at an advertising agency affiliated with a major newspaper run by his uncle.

Here, he also managed the entertainment and advertising activities of Battle.net players.

However, the industry didn't have a high opinion of him because his uncle (the CEO) was too overbearing.

"But I had no choice but to stop him when he was going to sue."

Kim HeeSoo shook his head.

If he had just let him sue, he would have faced a huge backlash by now.

However...

"The head of the management department contacted me in a frenzy. We didn't go into details, but it seems that Sung JiHan was quite rude."

"...Really?"

-Oh, Yoon Se-ah ordered me to solve the article.

Kim Hee-soo recalled the conversation with his uncle from last night and felt uneasy for no reason.

After Sung JiHan's victory, his popularity in the community was much better than expected.

"After the Sword King incident, there wasn't much to use as national pride."

There are many people in Korea who are higher level and stronger than Sung JiHan, but there was no player within the same rank who showed as much performance.

Although it was a performance in the Bronze promotion match, he didn't take first place with an overwhelming difference.

It wasn't unreasonable for people to be enthusiastic.

"Now is the time for the article to come out."

An exclusive report from Daehan Ilbo.

As it is about Yoon Se-ah, the daughter of the famous Sword King, it will receive considerable attention.

If I solve this, I will completely surpass Sung JiHan.

Kim Hee-soo looked at the comments on other news articles.

-Can I join the Dooyuno Club instead of the Sword King?

└Don't bury the Sword King, the chewed-up Sword King.

└The Battle.net community is already on fire, right? It's been a long time since he became a VIP member of the Dooyuno Club, haha.

└But isn't it more meaningful if Sung JiHan is Korean....ㅠㅠ

└Ah, stop with the negative comments, stop talking nonsense.

The more comments praising Sung JiHan he saw, the more inexplicable anxiety rose within him.

Kim Hee-soo's fingertips trembled slightly.

He thought it might not be a good idea to stir up a quiet beehive by publishing an article for no reason.

But.

"...It's not like I'm insulting him, it's about Yoon Se-ah's gift. What can I do!"

That's right.

Even if he's getting attention now, he's only Silver!

Moreover, a company like Daehan Ilbo won't be affected by someone as insignificant as Silver!

[(Exclusive) The Sword King's Daughter, Receiving a Downgrade Gift?]

That's how the exclusive article was posted on the portal site.

-Wow. The Sword King's daughter is taking the college entrance exam?

-How bad does the gift have to be for her to take the college entrance exam, haha.

-Her father was SSS rank, isn't the gift genetic?

-So what is this gift?

Replies quickly poured in.

In less than a few minutes, Daehan Ilbo's article, along with the Sword King's victory article, climbed up to the "Most Viewed News" tab.

As expected, it was more successful than expected, probably because it was a Sword King-related article.

Kim Hee-soo smiled and tapped on the keyboard.

-We're from the same school. She used to brag about being the Sword King's daughter when she was in school. No wonder she suddenly disappeared after dropping out, haha.

If he also left a reply that could ignite the fire on the Daehan Ilbo article, Daehan Ilbo's job would be done.

Gossip in modern society was like a "horse without legs."

The news spread like crazy.

Not only the media, but also numerous cyber leakers and gossip-loving netizens rushed to post stories about Yoon Se-ah.

And.

The public's reactions were varied.

-Poor girl. She must have had some expectations, but she has to take the college entrance exam because of the gift.

└What's so poor about her? She's a billionaire even without the gift, haha.

-[Comment blinded.] Did the Sword King predict this and abandon his child? Haha.

└ Sung JiHan is really annoying;;

There were people who pitied Yoon Sae-ah, but there were also many who sent mocking comments.

It was the low and despicable mentality of wanting to belittle the other person that was triggered towards her, hiding behind anonymity.

Kim Hee-su, who enjoyed watching the hateful comments towards Yoon Sae-ah, smirked bitterly.

"How pathetic."

As he continued to see the malicious comments, he felt that the mental illness he had developed after losing his hair and eyebrows was improving a bit.

Kim Hee-su, who enjoyed watching Yoon Sae-ah's downfall as a subject of ridicule throughout the day.

[Sung JiHan.]

The next day, upon hearing the news that Sung JiHan was streaming on BattleTube, Kim Hee-su quickly logged into the BattleTube website.

"500,000 subscribers...."

The number of BattleTube subscribers had skyrocketed due to the promotion matches.

Kim Hee-su felt regret upon seeing that.

If only he had signed a contract with this person, it would have been a huge success.

"I guess I should ignite the Yoon Sae-ah controversy."

After all, the departing bus couldn't be helped.

Thinking that way, Kim Hee-su continued to watch Sung JiHan's live stream.

"...Huh?"

On the screen, he could see Yoon Sae-ah sitting next to Sung JiHan.

"Why is she so relaxed?"

Contrary to Kim Hee-su's expectations, Yoon Sae-ah's expression was only bright.

For some reason, it felt ominous.

* * *

"Hello, everyone. Today, I greet you not through a BattleNet game, but in reality."

Sung JiHan smiled calmly and bowed his head.

This was the second broadcast from Sword Palace.

It was a completely different attitude from when he had apologized to the viewers for the King of Swords incident.

-Oh, it's Sung JiHan!

-Congratulations on your victory!

-You're crazy! You've lost it!

-Give back my one million dollars that I bet on Baron!

-If I reach one million subscribers, can I get a gift?

-But why aren't you revealing it?

The chat kept flooding in endlessly.

Not only from Korean viewers.

Translated chats from foreigners also poured in endlessly.

Perhaps because BattleTube itself was an alien technology, the translations were very natural.

However, at the end of the translated chats, the nationality was indicated, allowing the distinction of nationalities.

Korean viewers were bewildered by the completely different atmosphere of the chat window compared to the previous broadcast.

-Is it true that the number of subscribers is increasing?

-Why are there so many foreigners?

It was because more than half of the incoming chats were from foreigners.

It was evidence of the tremendous attention focused on Sung JiHan.

"Thank you for the congratulations on my victory."

Sung JiHan expressed his gratitude to each and every chat that was rapidly coming in, and then went straight to the point.

"The reason I started this broadcast today is because an article with defamatory content about my nephew was published by a media outlet yesterday."

As Sung JiHan finished speaking, Yoon Sae-ah slightly bowed her head in greeting.

Her face, with a slight smile on her lips, was unexpectedly bright.

- Ah, so Yoon Sae-ah also came out.

- She's still so beautiful...ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

- Honestly, even if her gift is mediocre, she could just become a celebrity with her looks, right?

- Seriously, with that, she's a billionaire, hahaha.

- If I were her, even if the gift is good, I wouldn't play the player, hahaha.

The atmosphere in the chat room was flowing with a trend of "what does it matter if it's Yoon Sae-ah?"

- What kind of celebrity has a face like that? Did she get plastic surgery or something?

- If her gift is good enough to take the college entrance exam, it's totally possible that she abandoned being the daughter of the Sword King, hahaha.

Of course, there were occasional chats mocking Yoon Sae-ah, but they were in the minority.

Since it was Sung JiHan's main channel, most of the reactions were favorable towards Yoon Sae-ah.

"But still, it seems like everyone has the basic assumption that Sae-ah's gift is not good."

Perhaps because yesterday's article spread widely.

Everyone seemed to have the same opinion about Yoon Sae-ah's gift.

"But if I show the latent gift revealed by Hermes' compound eyes, public opinion will be reversed."

In addition, there was a lot of information available on this side.

-Uncle. This is an audio file.

When Yoon Sae-ah secretly recorded the battle between the Battle.net administrator and the division yesterday, there was also an audio file.

-Oh, and there's also something I obtained from the security guard.

When Yoon Sae-ah was causing trouble for the man who was causing trouble for the Daehan Ilbo, there was also a video secretly taken by the security guard's phone camera.

"If I release all of this, the situation itself will become obvious, but...."

It's somewhat regrettable.

I wish I could have made a bigger impact, but there was one missing point for the climax.

And then.

Babababam!
