Ch.191186 – A Brief Reflection on Innate Nature

“And that’s how our world ended.”

The sobbing girl looked toward the cave entrance with sorrowful eyes.

In her world, blue-winged angels had appeared, raining fire and brimstone to punish the immoral, especially those who constantly said “lol” – they couldn’t escape being turned into pillars of salt.

“So Mr. Go…”

“Call me by my full name. Are you embarrassed of my name?”

“A bit… So ILikeCateMatesBest, the community you were active in was basically Sodom and Gomorrah. First nuclear apocalypse, then zombie apocalypse, and now Genesis apocalypse. The variety of ways things explode is impressive.”

“How could anyone lust after a child! Heaven’s wrath would rightfully condemn them to permanent bans and suspensions… You didn’t do such things, did you?”

“…”

“Don’t tell me you…”

“Yes, I did it too! Honestly, when everyone else was doing it, how could I resist…!”

“Good lord, this is… this is… outrageous!”

“I didn’t know…! I didn’t know she was seven! Would I have done it if I knew?”

“Even if she were fourteen, you shouldn’t have done it!”

“Fourteen is only three years younger than me… Hey, what about you…! How dare you act so righteous! Want me to expose your chat history?”

The two men stopped the girl as she tried to press the button to reveal all chat logs.

“Let’s not do this to each other. We all have something to lose here.”

“The crying outside hasn’t stopped. Must be the zombies’ wailing.”

All three turned their heads toward the cave entrance.

Meteors were falling from the sky, lava erupting from the ground, and dinosaurs, aliens, and krakens were working together to turn the world into ruins. Where were the zombies supposed to be?

Anyway, not much time remained until the end.

Through it all, the beam projector was steadfastly doing its job.

The three people stared blankly at the girl’s declaration in the video.

Perhaps when experiencing something too surreal, the brain simply stops functioning.

No one questioned NoName.

They just stared blankly until her words ended.

[I… hope… you would…]

“Ah…”

All three simultaneously sensed it.

That this was the moment of the apocalypse.

[Thank you all for listening…]

The world turned black and white.

“So this community crashed too.”

“Sob… hic… NoName is so pitiful… waaah…”

“Sigh… damn it, when will Kim Musik ever upgrade the server?”

The man stood up abruptly, lifted his head, and vented his frustration at the crashed community. His eyes were reddening too.

[What happens if NoName is really 7 years old][143]

She’s 100% in the lineage of genius mages following Cheok Jun-gyeong, Sejong, Yulgok Yi, Jeongjo, and Ham Cho-rong.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration, but with this level of talent, shouldn’t she be recorded in history books as a great figure?

[Comments]

-Where’s Yi Sun-sin?

└ Yi Sun-sin was a great general but not an innate genius. He created 5-circle unique magic at 35

└ Remove Cheok Jun-gyeong, there are no records of him

└ Seriously lol, just repeating something you heard somewhere

└ N-no way our brother Yi Sun-sin would be like that…!

└ How dare you!!! Doubt the GOAT of water magic, Admiral Yi Sun-sin!!!

-But factually, NoName outperforms all those people if we compare them at the same age

└ Still, comparing her to Ham Cho-rong is crossing the line

└ Do you know Ham Cho-rong started learning 5-circle magic at 13?

└ Wait, didn’t NoName use 5-circle magic in World of Arsheria? Or was it 4-circle?

└ The issue isn’t about 5-circle magic but that she proved a mathematical theorem

-Look at her mental age, I’d believe she was an adult

└ Well, her talent is definitely confirmed

-Server crashed? Why isn’t the post regenerating?

-Crashed again, damn it!!!

-Look at all these comments flooding in on what might be the last post here lol

-The arena is open, even the history nerds might show up

[Is this summary of the situation correct?][32]

Damn this server~

I’m confused about many things because I’m slow

Just checking if I understood correctly

So NoName’s real name is No Name, and she’s not 14 but 7 years old? 2nd grade?

Anyway, she was trapped in a capsule since birth, how did that happen?

She was rescued a year ago, but her mother just took government subsidies and abandoned her at an orphanage without nationality?

[Comments]

-She said she ate rice

-Title farming? Not sure what that means

-You can buy and sell titles with Chinese programs, that’s probably what it means

└ How do you know that?

└ I’ve played LoL for 10 years and never knew this

-She didn’t play 50,000 games because she wanted to, but because she would die if she didn’t?

└ That’s truly knife-to-the-neck

└ Did you really have to make that joke here?

[Has the ‘real’ last survivor of the Walpurgis Incident finally appeared?][1382]

(Two-week-old Yonhap News article.jpg)

8,691 false reports over 7 years. An average of 3.4 per day.

But ‘0’ confirmed cases.

We’ve seen all kinds of fakers trying to get terrorism compensation, but this case is definitely unusual.

First, a “National Petition” requesting a one-on-one confrontation with the Blue House.

(Screenshot of NoName’s National Petition.jpg)

Real name confirmed.

(Photos of columbaria in Jongno, Jung, Mapo, and Yeongdeungpo districts.jpg)

She said she had no family, so the government must have placed her in the joint memorial for Walpurgis Incident victims.

(Blurred photo.jpg)

After looking around and asking employees, I found that a new urn was placed there around this time last year.

(…)

At this point, even the most skeptical person would think this is real, what do you all think?

[Comments]

-You’re quite dedicated yourself

└ So these are the kinds of people who visit the real-time best gallery… I need to step up my game

-Can you just enter if you’re not family? Would employees really tell you this?

└ (Author): Yeah, they told me

└ Politicians have been in and out so much that they probably gave up caring

└ The state of this country is really something lol

-The building looks really old

-Tiresome~~ Do we have to hear about another exhausting investigation?

└ This time it’s real

└ I’ll accept it even if it turns everything upside down

I firmly stated that I would not participate in any public activities until my two demands were met.

I felt like I had been running non-stop without a break. To borrow streamers’ expressions, I needed time to recharge.

Had I ever received this much attention in my life?

Actually, I had… though it wasn’t a pleasant memory.

As I was about to step down from the platform, several people rushed toward me.

It was amusing to observe each of their expressions.

“Name…!”

Kariri was the first to greet me.

“I did well, right?”

“You really…!”

Before I could finish descending the stairs, Kariri grabbed me under my arms and lifted me into the air.

I must have been unexpectedly light, as she spun me around once before I landed back in her arms.

Her falling on her bottom was just a bonus.

“Yoonseul unnie.”

“Yes?”

“Congratulations on winning again.”

This competition wasn’t just about me.

While I succeeded in creating a big incident, I felt somewhat guilty for ruining everyone’s festive celebration.

“Name, Name.”

“What?”

“You know how amazing you are, right?”

“I know.”

“You know?”

“Of course.”

“Kyaaaa! So cute!”

“Could you restrain yourself a bit in public?”

I pushed away her face as she tried to nuzzle my cheeks and helped her stand up.

“NoName, you really!”

Thin arms wrapped around my neck. Pink hair was the first thing I noticed.

Shoulders that heaved with each exhale, eyes slightly bloodshot and red.

My supporter, “IfSunnyFallsThenNightComes” Yoo Si-a.

“Sia, congratulations on winning too. You were the best supporter.”

“Why… why…!”

Even without finishing her sentence, I knew what she wanted to say.

“I remember clearly mentioning it.”

[I’m still seven years old because my birthday hasn’t passed yet.]

“That game when I played Kaisa. Don’t you remember?”

“I don’t remember such details!”

“Urgh! Fine, I’ll admit I deceived you. I’m sorry for deceiving you.”

“How hard it must have been… for seven years… I didn’t even know… waaah… hic… sob!”

I ducked my head out before her grip around my neck tightened further.

Looking around, I realized we were now surrounded by a crowd.

“NoName, I mean Name, you’ve been through so much… it was truly an honor to work with you. Thanks to you, I could reach enlightenment.”

“Mr. Han, why so formal? I’m young enough to be your daughter.”

Even if I had lived much longer than Han Yong-cheol in terms of years, my mental age had never exceeded twenty-five.

“Even so, that’s… wait, I’m thirty-one… seven… twenty-four… damn, am I that old?”

-crying crying crying crying

-lolololol

-If you’d succeeded with your first love, you could have had a daughter NoName’s age

-It feels like the end is approaching for the father-daughter relationship…

└ Would it be wrong to switch to NoName, brother Yongcheol?

└ crying crying crying

“I told you I’d help you win. How about that? Talent is scary, isn’t it?”

“Definitely… talent is scary, yes! When you become famous, or rather, since you’ll definitely become famous, don’t forget about today. You’ll remember our team, The Blory, right?”

“Of course. I never forget connections once they’re made.”

“Wow! Did you all see that? The kid speaks so well…! Isn’t it amazing? Let’s give her a round of applause! Everyone in the stadium, clap your hands!”

It was truly a spectacular scene.

As if on cue, everyone stood up and began applauding us.

I’d heard one person clapping before, but never experienced the resonance of so many people clapping together.

The low vibration that filled my chest made me feel intoxicated by the atmosphere of the competition.

“Mr. Han, ‘warrior’ suits you.”

“Warrior? Oh, you mean the World of Arsheria job? Maybe I’ll try that next time.”

The quality of a warrior who can instantly captivate people’s attention.

Klaus was born with such talent.

Perhaps if Han Yong-cheol here had been physically stronger, he would have been in a similar position.

There was a time when I envied such talent. Honestly, I was jealous.

I thought there was nothing I lacked or was inferior at, so I often wondered and resented why people liked warriors more than me.

It took too high a price to realize that all those worries were pointless.

In the end, one’s ‘nature’ cannot be changed.

But ‘nature’ doesn’t directly translate to ‘destiny’.

Warriors have their path. Demon lords have theirs.

“Name, are you going to stream after the tournament? Want to do a collab if you’re up for it?”

“Include us too! Who says it has to be just World of Arsheria teams!”

“You guys went loss-loss-win-win-win! We finished with win-win-win!”

“We were undefeated except for the finals, what are you talking about?”

“Oh, streaming, of course I will.”

Everyone should forge their destiny based on what they do best from their position.

What I do best is undoubtedly…
