Chapter 93 - The Knight of Perfection (2)

Lee Kyung-bok stared blankly at the message for a moment.

'Remaster news? My name is mentioned? Suddenly?'

The news that Choi Byung-hoon relayed was on such a large scale that it was hard to grasp at once. However, the bigger the scale, the faster the news spread.

- Uncle! Dark Rune Remastered!

- Huh? What's that?

- It's up on the official YouTube channel!

- Wow lol, the Purple channel is introduced

- Special! Special! Special! Special! Special! Special!

- What is it?

- Did FromSoftware recognize GodPlay?

- EldenUniqueSword became a pro lol

- Ah lol, he clenched his teeth and made a pro

- The world recognizing GodPlay? I can't stand it lol

- Is this a Purple Coin boon?

- Wow! Congratulations!

- Where did NajaPurple go ㅠㅠ

- Started with a big jump, NajaPurple ㅇㅈㄹ lol

The chat spread like wildfire in the chat window.

Lee Kyung-bok felt a mix of joy and a sense of crisis.

"Thank you for your congratulations! But are you not watching my stream and instead watching the announcement video?"

It was indeed great news, but he had to prevent the viewers from leaving. His comment brought laughter to the chat window.

- Ah lol, of course not (ouch!)

- Really lol, you can only watch GodPlay's live stream now, why watch YouTube?

- Pro players have both Try and YouTube open and are trying to deny it

- Pro players with single-core should keep Try open with a clear conscience

- Really lol, unless you have an octa-core, don't play multiplayer

- I like playing with GodPlay more!

Fortunately, the number of viewers did not change significantly. In fact, it was increasing due to his name being mentioned, even at this late hour.

'There's nothing I can do about it now.'

Unlike the chat, there was no way to stop those who were not paying attention to the broadcast. Lee Kyung-bok clapped lightly to draw attention.

"Then I'll trust you and continue. I'll finish from the ending, and let's watch the announcement video together."

Although it was a casual comment from Lee Kyung-bok, it caused a big stir in the chat window.

- Watch the video with GodPlay? I can't stand it lol

- If you do this, you can't help but turn off YouTube!

- Are we going to make a reaction video with GodPlay?

- Watch it here? Is he a broadcasting genius?

- Here he shows his broadcasting skills again lol

- Ah lol, Part 3 suddenly appeared!

Although Lee Kyung-bok did not have any specific intention to make a video, he did not bother to explain.

He continued the cutscene he had paused.

"O broken one."

In the darkened screen, Alicia's voice was heard. Gradually, the scene began to brighten and reveal the landscape.

People were moving busily in the inner castle, where there had been no signs of life. Among them, Alicia was looking around.

"Since that day, when you disappeared, a lot of time has passed."

From her narration, Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers could infer the situation.

"Ah, it seems Alicia is sending a letter to the protagonist."

- Yeah, it seems so

- It seems some time has passed

- It seems to express that the player left after the ending

- Wow lol, FromSoftware's brain is working again?

- How can you leave the side of the protagonist?

Alicia found the forest guardian golems that were frozen in various places in the inner castle. Reactivated by her incantation, the golems began to manage the growth of crops, their original task.

"Despite the precarious state of humans, they are still striving."

Suddenly, she turned her head. Since no other sounds were heard besides Alicia's voice, question marks appeared in the chat window.

Soon, the view changed, and a fallen person was seen. And above them, a black rune was engraved.

"Dark Rune, the omen of the dead. This must be related to you."

As people recoiled in fear, Blondo and the knights arrived.

"Blondo and the knights are faithfully performing their duties. Unlike before, they are protecting everyone."

The knights seized the fallen person and transported them. Alicia had a bitter expression but did not stop them.

- In the past, they would have executed them immediately lol

- Wow lol, seeing the Dark Rune really makes it feel like a prequel

- Meanwhile, the knight leader lol, look at his softened expression

- In the Orthodox Church route, he was completely strict lol

As Alicia headed towards the entrance of the inner castle, the desolate village where the dead wandered disappeared, and people with various tools were seen working on construction.

"Aiden said silence is for humans, but I think differently. Change comes from action."

The view gradually rose, showing the kingdom from a bird's-eye view.

"O broken one, can you hear me?"

Alicia's voice also gradually faded away.

"Please return whenever you can."

The view then shifted from the ground to the sky, towards the golden sun.

"The age of humans is made by humans, the age we have created."

The view darkened, and the sun transformed into the shining Elden Soul.

[Elden Soul]

The background darkened, and the game logo appeared.

That marked the grand finale.

"What a lingering ending."

Lee Kyung-bok's comment was echoed in the chat window.

- Wow... this is the ending

- No sweet moments with the protagonist and Aiden ㅠㅠ

- Unfortunately, it seems I'll be wiped out again in the Dark Rune

- Ah lol, don't spoil it!

- It's just a dark fantasy, isn't it?

- If it's a remaster, will the story be different?

- I don't know about that! But it's a must-have!

[Thank you, MoonClassAscension, for playing KingGodSoul!]

['DoYouKnowClub' donated 500,000 won.]

['BrokenOne' donated 200,000 won.]

[Ah lol, it was my wallet that was broken]

Donations poured in as if they had been waiting.

The donation limit was lifted after seeing the ending.

"Thank you! But there are quite a few pending donations. I'll check them a bit differently, so please bear with me."

The current number of viewers exceeded 10,000. Even if only 10% of them donated, there would be over 1,000 donation messages.

To handle this, Lee Kyung-bok changed the settings to display up to 8 donation messages at once.

- Wow lol

- What is simultaneous processing of donation messages?

- Ah, this is perfect gratitude.

- Octa-core utilization is insane lol

- Ah, his eyes are rolling again lol

- Eyes! Those eyes!

- If another streamer did this, they'd be called crazy and get a lot of hate lol

- Really lol, but it's Purple, so he can see everything

If this happened in another broadcast, it would have been worse than not doing it at all. However, the viewers had already seen Lee Kyung-bok's multitasking skills, so they could accept it with a smile.

"Alright, shall we go watch the announcement video together now?"

Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly, closed the game, and opened YouTube. The screen in front of him was like a giant movie screen.

"It's the official FromSoftware channel, right?"

- Yes! That's right!

- Take your seats! Everyone, take your seats!

- Ah lol, the movie theater atmosphere is great

- Hey, the person in front with the big head, lean down!

- Who turned on Smart Link?

- What? This is my seat?

- Ah, there are plenty of seats, just sit anywhere

- What a smartass lol

As he accessed the channel through search, the latest video appeared. When he started the video, a man greeted the camera.

The representative, introduced as the lead developer, began his explanation with a smile. Of course, since the broadcast was in Japanese, Lee Kyung-bok had to focus on the subtitles.

"The remaster of Dark Rune was decided around the time the development of Elden Soul was wrapping up."

The representative said this and then frowned.

"We were unsure how to convey this good news to the players. After much discussion, we concluded that it would be best to reveal it when the protagonist, you, realize that Dark Rune is a prequel."

Lee Kyung-bok let out a small exclamation at this explanation.

"Wow, they were really monitoring my stream, weren't they?"

This was something that had been discussed during the Team White meeting. Now he understood the detailed reasons.

- Really lol, it was revealed after watching GodPlay's stream, right?

- Wow! This is what a pro is!

- I'm so proud lol

- Meanwhile, the protagonist = player consistency is amazing lol

- FromSoftware's stubbornness lol

- This kind of stubbornness might not be bad?

- The best game company and the best gamer have met!

The viewers also showed their satisfaction.

"So, we left open any route to find Elden Soul, and we waited for the right moment. It took longer than expected, but finally, a player uncovered this fact."

The representative smiled brightly and looked at the camera.

"
