I froze in place for a moment.

‘It’s really Naharing, isn’t it?’

Warworld’s mana synchronization mode feels the same as reality.

All the senses of the body are synchronized through Mana Heart.

The Na Haring in front of me right now felt like a real person rather than a graphic avatar.

When I didn’t react, Hana Choi continued to look at me.

“Is this… strange?”

“Ah… no. I think he looks a lot like someone I know.”

“Really? Really?”

At those words, Choi Hana’s expression relaxed.

Just now.

Before connecting through synchronization, Hana Choi was her usual self, even if she was shy.

Somehow, now that I have transformed into Naharing’s form, I am starting to feel more relaxed.

‘okay. As for Choi Hana, she really connected through Naharing.’

Northern Warworld did have basic hero characters.

It was also possible to create custom characters tailored to each individual awakened person.

Of course, I was able to modify the appearance to my heart’s content.

Naharing is a popular streamer and Vertubunny, so at first glance, it seems like there are many users who follow her.

In reality, that wasn’t the case.

‘Naharing is the official streamer of Warworld.’

So, the Naharing avatar in front of you was used only by Naharing herself, who was certified by the War World operator.

A hunter jacket for female users, and it even had the official streamer emblem near the chest.

I couldn’t deny it.

Choi Hana opened her lips again.

“Do you… know who I am?”

“Naha…it’s ring.”

“That’s right. lol. By any chance, does Junwoo also watch Virtuber or something? How do you know?”

After connecting to Naharing, Choi Hana definitely seems to have some free time.

From that pretty pink bob to the mole around the eyes.

Just like Na Haring usually manipulates viewers.

She looked at me with relaxed eyes and smiled.

‘Strangely enough, it becomes weaker against Naharing.’

At first glance, that face looks different from Choi Hana because it has a very strong image of pink hair.

Seeing it up close like this, it closely resembles its actual appearance.

It feels like Choi Hana doesn’t usually wear makeup.

The current Na Haring feels like Choi Hana with full makeup on.

And to be honest, that Na Haring was my ideal type in terms of appearance.

‘In terms of appearance… even more so than An Yu-min.’

Still, I shouldn’t be swayed too much by Naharing.

I didn’t want Choi Hana to seem like an immature man.

That she shows me another side of herself like she does now.

This is proof that I am ready to be honest about many things that have been kept secret from me.

I didn’t even know that he had plans to tell me something more important than Naharing’s identity.

‘Jaguar’s boss is actually Hana Choi.’

After I finished organizing my thoughts.

I answered her in a tone that wasn’t too awkward.

“ Naharing and Underdolls are broadcasts that are watched by the general public, not just people. What happened beyond that? You are Naharing.”

“Hmm. Iknow, right. lol. Isn’t it fascinating? I’m actually also amazed. I had no idea that Underdolls and Naharing would become so famous.”

Choi Hana, who said that, smiled brightly with her arms behind her waist.

“What do you think? I logged in in completely anonymous mode. If Junwoo is a fan of Naharing. It’s a one-on-one date right now. With Naharing!”

That was true.

Underdolls are vertubers.

So in reality, they never reveal their identities, and even if they are the same streamer, they never meet offline.

‘Well… it’s an incredibly privileged thing.’

I don’t know about Choi Hana.

I, too, am a big fan of her, having donated enough to be in the top 10 of Naharing’s donation rankings, although not as much as Yoon Geon-woo’s, through a sub-account.

So I couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

Choi Hana gently took my hand.

“Then, shall we play as a duo instead of 3v3? And the mode is not normal mode, but villain mode.”

I didn’t miss the mention of villain mode.

Northern Warworld’s degree of reproduction of reality is very high.

So, there were all kinds of modes based on the awakened society.

Starting with the current academy competition mode. From dungeon attack mode to villain clearing mode.

So, it even recreated the struggle between the apostles of Valhalla and the underworld organizations currently taking place in the underworld.

Of course, because of the external pressure of the Apostle of Valhalla.

Although I mostly play in user creative mode rather than official mode.

‘The reason I asked to play villain mode together was because of this. After all, there must be a reason.’

Although I knew this as an underworld side quest from the original work.

If it’s Choi Hana’s hidden power.

You may already have some idea of my unknown identity.

She, the boss of the underworld, and me, actually the named villain.

Maybe now that the two of them are together, it might be more than just playing games together.

This might be a time to decide our future together.

She and I together created a villain mode game.

***

In Northern Warworld’s villain mode.

Choi Hana, along with Lee Jun-woo, were engaged in a struggle against the apostle of Valhalla.

“This building has already been taken over by the apostles. If things continue like this, there will be no escape.”

Lee Jun-woo said to Choi Hana.

As he said.

The current mode is a mode in which an apostle from Valhalla attacks two clans.

Rather than playing against an opposing user, you were dealing with an AI enemy.

‘As expected, Warworld’s reproduction of reality is very excellent.’

It was also a scene that commonly unfolds in underworld areas these days.

There is no organization in Korea that can keep the Apostle of Valhalla in check.

The apostle was currently dismantling numerous underworld organizations under the pretext of eradicating the underworld, the base of the villains, and putting them under their influence.

The Hunter Association, who had already become drunk with their power and had become a toothless tiger, could do nothing but watch.

Even in the underworld, major organizations were registered as legitimate hunter guilds.

The apostle of Valhalla created a justification for them according to his taste and branded them as an illegal criminal organization.

Helplessly, the power of the underworld was shrinking.

The current mode also reflected the current state of the underworld in great detail.

‘Song Yuhwan…’

Her father Jin Seon-ho’s former colleague and the absolute power of the current era.

The people who betrayed my father were my father’s two subordinates.

I now knew that Song Yu-hwan was in their background.

So revenge was always Choi Hana’s top priority.

‘I hate you. ‘Them.’

Running the current organization was also to carry on his father’s wishes.

The decisive reason why Song Yu-hwan and Jin Seon-ho split.

That was the difference in values as awakened people.

To the extent that he is known to the public as a hero.

Song Yu-Hwan has managed his public image, so his true appearance is not as known as expected.

He was a fierce woke chauvinist.

Mana is an awakened person with special powers. I thought that was a privilege in itself.

He was a man who was a dictator himself, who thought it was right for an awakened person to rule over ordinary people who had not awakened to their power.

And now Song Yu-hwan was moving to make that dangerous idea a reality.

‘It will never move the way it wants to.’

So, I instantly transferred to the current War World mode.

Villain mode is a mode in which the underworld and the villain side fight against the certified hunter guild.

Moreover, the reason Choi Hana did the Virtuber broadcast was to earn the organization’s operating expenses.

Now that I was connected to Naharing, I couldn’t help but empathize with that feeling even more than usual.

“First, let’s eliminate those guys ahead and move to the emergency exit.”

“I understand!”

And even though she chose villain mode, Lee Jun-woo remained as calm as usual.

It was also amazing.

In reality, the guild with an absolute position is the Apostle of Valhalla.

Perhaps that is why the trend in games is to select a faction related to that apostle and play Warworld.

However, Lee Jun-woo was also playing the current villain mode with full concentration.

No, rather, he showed such outstanding play that it would be appropriate to say that he was flying even on the highest AI difficulty level, as if he were wearing clothes that fit him well.

‘Something… looks cool.’

While broadcasting on Naharing, I also played cooperative games with Warworld pro gamers.

Of course, in terms of games, the sense of professional gamers was very surprising.

A mana heart linking mode that is not currently used by the general public.

So, rather, Choi Hana felt that Lee Jun-woo was showing a play that surpassed that of professional gamers.

And in addition to the play, I felt a different atmosphere from Lee Jun-woo than usual.

‘As expected. There’s definitely something about Junwoo…’

Through Hwang Yong-gyun, I met famous gang members and villains even in the underworld.

She has the power to read the truth.

I have seen many people who are too dangerous for a cadet to handle.

Surprisingly, I felt a similar feeling to those dangerous people from Lee Jun-woo.

‘Maybe he’s a villain. Hiding his identity…’

Nevertheless, he did not feel any malice towards him from Lee Jun-woo.

As always, I felt goodwill.

Even now when I’m just playing the game.

“Those apostles of Valhalla. I don’t like it either. Somehow, even AIs are so arrogant and chauvinistic. It’s disgusting to look at.”

And Choi Hana was momentarily surprised.

It was as if he had read his own mind.

Lee Jun-woo also said a word to the apostle of Valhalla.

‘What on earth… what is it?’

Tatatang-

Together with Lee Jun-woo, who uses fire spells, he quickly took out the hunters in front.

Even when connected to Naharing, the best weapon is a rifle.

Although I changed my primary weapon and class a few months ago.

Now, I am much more familiar with the movements than when I was an alchemist, which was my original class.

It was all the classes and combat methods that Lee Jun-woo recommended to her.

At that time, Lee Jun-woo, who had taken care of the Sado Hunter and entered the emergency exit together, spoke.

“They will follow us to the rooftop anyway. If you set up a trap at the emergency exit here… you’ll have enough time to hide on the rooftop and briefly recover your health and mana.”

“Yes! I understand!”

As expected, Lee Jun-woo gave tactical instructions without the slightest hesitation.

‘It’s strange… something… looks cool.’

And Choi Ha-na was embarrassed because she could only answer that she knew a little while ago.

If it was on air.

As she is now, when she accesses Naharing’s avatar, she must have constantly filled the audio.

However, since I am in Naharin’s form, I feel a little more confident.

As I thought about playing a game alone with Lee Jun-woo, my heart pounded and I couldn’t answer well.

‘Still, it’s a bit like this.’

Although we weren’t on a romantic date.

A precious time to be alone with Lee Jun-woo.

The two people hid in a corner of the rooftop.

There are traps, so hunters who find their way have some time to rush here.

The two were sitting in front of the wall in the corner, leaning their backs against the wall and taking a moment to catch their breath.

So, it was a very good opportunity for Choi Hana.

“Whew… I have enough potions, so you too… Huh?”

Choi Hana made eye contact with Lee Jun-woo and held his hand tightly.

And said.

“Well… Junwoo, aren’t you hiding something from me too?”
