Chapter Index

    The quarterfinals are over.

    Just looking at the results, all Korean men lost face.

    Cheok Jun-kyung, eliminated.

    Taejo, eliminated.

    Following that, he was eliminated from the submission process.

    In fact, while all of Korea’s S-class were wiped out, only Gwangik-gong, who was considered to be an out-of-the-box S+-class – or even better – advanced to the semifinals.

    The content of the game was very good.

    In fact, as it was a fight between eight people who were considered the strongest in the world, the content and attractions were truly great.

    Even when accidents occurred, the process of resolving them was so excellent that it was safe to say that it was a famous game that will remain in human history.

    but.

    -Anyway, you fired everything except the Light Wing Ball, right?

    If we look at the result alone, it was a defeat for Korean men of high ability.

    -Who is the culprit?

    As soon as the quarterfinals ended, people started looking for the culprit in the evening for not being able to place only one Korean in the semifinals.

    Now, netizen trial.

    -First of all, can we just start by committing suicide with Taejo and Cheok Jun-gyeong?

    Over there in North Korea, the so-called ‘people’s trial’ began to unfold in all sorts of places, including communities such as Hero Wiki.

    – Taejo acknowledged it after yielding 100,000 times.

    Regarding the first target, King Taejo, people made their own ‘extenuating circumstances’ judgment.

    -Honestly, if Taejo made it to the round of 16, he would have improved a lot.

    -Even strength 8 is a miracle. I don’t know if the other person was someone else, but the other person is also the other person.

    -I wish I had awakened a little sooner. That’s why I told you to learn quickly. Tsk tsk.

    Although he lost now, he is a promising player with a bright future.

    Because it came to its own conclusion, there was relatively less public criticism toward King Taejo.

    -Then what about Cheok Jun-kyung?

    And about the next target.

    -The opponent was bad.

    -You’re dealing with an American wingman, aren’t we in the same situation?

    -That’s right. Let’s pretend it was a 1:1 exchange with Blue Rider.

    Regarding Cheok Jun-kyung, everyone made an extenuating judgment.

    -The opponent was Doblin.

    Because the opponent is me.

    Just as Blue Rider Cheon Ju-yeon fought hard against Gwang Ik-gong but was defeated, people accepted that Cheok Jun-kyung also lost against Doblin.

    In connection with that, Gwangikkong’s victory was a given.

    -GOAT of this era….

    -Gwangikgong wins Gaechu vs. Doblin wins.

    -First of all, let’s start with myself.

    People were excited about Gwangikkong’s victory, and even though there was still a long time left until the finals, they were already comparing Gwangikgong’s wins and losses with mine.

    I understand.

    In fact, the match between me and Kwang Ik-gong and Do Ji-hwan and Kim Jin-ho is the end of this World Cup.

    Neither I nor Gwang-ik-gong originally thought that our opponent would fall before the finals.

    Sometimes this happens when you watch cartoons or movies.

    -You are now looking at your next opponent. I can’t concentrate on the game. Wake! My current opponent is me!

    If you are too concerned about your opponent or rival, you are unable to focus on the opponent in front of you and do not perform to your best ability.

    Usually, it’s a cliché for the protagonist to hear something like that and fight with all his might and win, but that never happened to me or Gwangikkong.

    Whether the strategy or tactics are exposed, the team has thoroughly defeated the opponent.

    So Gwangikgong is not the culprit.

    He won in the first place, so how could he be the culprit?

    Among those who lost, the culprit was bound to emerge, and naturally, there was a high possibility that the culprit would be identified as one of the three.

    and.

    -You surrender bastard!!

    Of course, the culprit was expected to be Jeong-bae, but it turned out to be a man who was eliminated with such shocking results.

    -How can you lose to the Chinese Cheonma!

    This is a situation that will cause public outrage.

    * * *

    Ulleungdo pension, open-air bath.

    “It’s dangerous.”

    After the game ended and I went to the hot springs in Ulleungdo with everyone, I felt a chill down my spine every time I looked at the reactions in the community.

    “The name has already changed on Hero Wiki.”

    “What, really? How?”

    “Ri Jwiwunieng.”

    Changing one’s name is a basic insult to that person.

    As the saying goes, simple is best, insulting someone begins by changing their proper noun.

    Changing the name Lee Jun-young to sound Chinese.

    Changing your nationality from Korea to China.

    Changing the hero’s nickname to something like ‘terrorist’.

    ‘Honestly, the jjolple thing is a bit weird, but it’s not something to be criticized this much.’

    People are forgetting.

    Because we are so focused and the game is heating up, everyone is missing something.

    “The reason I backed out during the game was because it was a friendly match, and when I fight against a villain or a demon, I am the type of being who can fight even if it costs me my life.”

    Although this is a national competition, it is a competition of skills.

    That doesn’t result in weakness, such as a low level hero.

    “But it’s true that you were scared of the Cheonma.”

    “Is that so?”

    “Yes. That’s right.”

    Cheon Ju-yeon, who was sitting across from me, moved her fingers around the water in the hot spring and spoke.

    “Cheonma deflected Tushin’s attack with his face. Even though his body was pushed back, he didn’t back down. But what about commitment? Rather than giving up the flesh and taking the bones, I raised my guard tightly and threw myself backwards.”

    “What do you think you would have done?”

    “If it were me, I would have counterattacked right away, whether I was hit in the face or in the solar plexus. How about you, Serin?”

    “I think I dodged and cut first before I got hit.”

    Even in the same S class, each person reacts differently.

    Both prefer close combat, but some prefer to directly clash blades, like Cheon Ju-yeon, while others, like Hyeon Se-rin, prefer to avoid attacks and stab the enemy.

    The difference between a damage tank and an assassin character.

    The difference is well known to ordinary citizens, and especially those on Hero Wiki know it better than anyone else.

    As such, they could not tolerate Tushin’s actions.

    ‘Diltaeng’s use of jjolple is definitely a waste of his image.’

    In a match with a slight difference, he hits all the attacks with his bow, and when the opponent uses his ultimate, he runs away with his back blink.

    Killing each other doesn’t determine victory or defeat, but if the spectators were asked to make a decision based on the fight up to that point, most would raise the hand of the Heavenly Demon.

    It may be natural to be criticized.

    Of course I thought I would win, but I failed.

    After all, the defeated opponent was Chinese.

    He is not just a Chinese person, but a person who fled from Korea and went to China.

    Because many people bet on Tushin.

    It is natural, at least at this moment, that there is a lot of blind anger and swearing towards Tushin.

    “Times like this are the most dangerous.”

    The hero’s game is over, but the desperate game begins in earnest.

    “Hye-ra. How are the housewives doing now? Are you very busy?”

    “Yes. Everyone is going crazy right now, both online and offline.”

    Lying on the bench outside the open-air bath, Hye-ra Yoon is engrossed in her work, tapping the video screen of Taegeuk Watch.

    “I almost want to borrow a cat’s hand right now. No, I want to lend a hand like a leech.”

    “I think that would be okay. What do you think about telling them to cover the two gods?”

    “Isn’t it manipulation of public opinion?”

    “At least it’s better than turning Tushin into a devil.”

    Korea is now so overheated that even former leeches have to be mobilized.

    “Establish logic. If I had to go up anyway, I would be defeated by Doblin. Tushin is strong against villains, but cannot show much strength against people with special abilities.”

    “But everyone is upset that they lost against a traitor.”

    “Then let’s make Tushin a feminist. They ask how you can hit a woman in the face.”

    “Oh… that might work quite well.”

    I’m sorry to the Tusin, but it’s not a bad idea to use this method to suppress all the swearing and verbal abuse directed at Tusin that fills the Internet.

    “Anit, how can a man punch a woman in the face? Are you still a man? I think it would be okay to refute it that way.”

    “I’m a little worried that if I win like that, my dissatisfaction with women will become stronger.”

    “I can’t help it. Otherwise, the person they cursed will turn into a devil and come to punch them in the face. Everyone, you need to cool your head.”

    Looking at the Hero Wiki of Fighting God, which is being edited in real time, I became convinced that Korea currently needs extreme medicine.

    “People are now unable to make a cool-headed judgment because they are buried in the defeat of the fighting spirit. That their swearing and anger can turn Tusin into a devil.”

    I did well in the quarterfinals.

    You may be angry that the opponent is the Heavenly Demon of China, but the end of your fight is a defeat due to your own mistakes and instincts.

    “Tushin didn’t lose because he was insulting his opponent, and he didn’t make a mistake while celebrating and that had a fatal impact on the game, he just lost because he faced a hero from another country. Hey, you did well in the quarterfinals.”

    “Oppa, you seem to be tapping on the keyboard faster than usual.”

    “If commitment becomes the devil, we have to step up.”

    We need to somehow prevent Tushin from becoming the devil.

    “We were resting like this for as long as we could, but suddenly a devil appeared from nowhere and we had to step forward. What could be more annoying than that? Now we are resting-”

    Ehhhh.

    Villain alarms went off all at once on our death watch.

    “…Are you committing suicide?”

    “No.”

    Hyun Se-rin shook her head as she unfolded the video of the area where the alarm went off.

    “A devoted bastard.”

    “…….”

    “B-level hero ‘Toohee’ has turned into a devil. Maybe the reason is…”

    Click.

    The moment the scene video was played.

    -What kind of guy! Some guy told my brother to throw himself off the Han River bridge!!

    “…It looks like he was very angry because he cursed at Tushin’s nickname.”
