Chapter 110
Soaring High in the Sky!
Unlike the skies of Ard World, Eugene and I were flying through a gloomy sky thick with dark clouds, riding on a Bone Wyvern.
Next to our Bone Wyvern, the Blood King Nosferatu flew alongside us, transformed into a bat, while Lich Dice perched on the Wyvern’s neck.
[Kieeeeeek!]
[Kiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!]
The monstrous roars of creatures reached our ears from afar.
It was a truly narrow escape for Eugene and me to take flight on the Bone Wyvern.
Immediately after the Bone Wyvern soared into the sky, enemy forces swarmed the area.
[lol lolWow lol lol Running away to the sky lol lol lol]
[Crazy lol lol I wondered how they would escape lol lol lol]
[Why is a Bone Wyvern appearing here lol lol lol]
[Ah…… This is called a ‘Bone Wyvern’. It’s an undead that can fly.]
[So lol lol Where are they going now?]
The number of viewers continued to increase, and proportionally, the chat flew by even faster.
And among the increased viewers, there were not only general users, but also quite a few well-known named users.
[Verda: Eugene-nim, are you alright?]
[Elena: Oppa! Are you okay?]
[Sharp: Seriously, you said you were going to raid a dungeon, why are you here?!]
[MuscleMan: Hey Eugene, are you really alright?]
Lightwing Guild members, Eugene’s comrades!
They had entered my chatroom.
Even if Eugene might not mind, the guild members who were definitely wary of me, and especially Verda, who always meticulously prepared to annoy me, would actually enter my chatroom!
‘Not only are they raiding a dungeon together in a party, but their comrades are even coming into my broadcast. It’s truly a sight to behold.’
Well, since whispers don’t work from Ard World to the Broken World, they had no choice but to enter the chatroom.
That’s what I thought.
For reference, whispers don’t cost points, so just after the Bone Wyvern took flight with me, Eugene, and Dice, I tried whispering to Shin Ha-yeon as a test, but only the message “Whispers cannot be sent in this area” popped up.
[Hul lol lol Verda-nim is here]
[Sharp-nim is here too!]
[Wow the entire Lightwing Guild is here lol lol lol Crazy lol lol lol]
[Crazy lol lol lol Look at the luxurious chat lineup]
[This is truly legendary, legendary]
I smirked and looked at Eugene in front of me.
“I’m fine, so don’t worry. Everything’s alright. Thanks to Drakan-nim’s quick response, don’t worry too much. Let’s see each other after logging out.”
Just as the Lightwing Guild members were typing messages like ‘Be careful’,
[Ha-yeon: Drakan-nim.]
A chat message appeared before my eyes.
It was Shin Ha-yeon.
“What is it?”
As I reacted to Shin Ha-yeon’s message for almost the first time since the broadcast began, the chat exploded once again.
[What? Wasn’t Drakan unable to read the chat?]
[Hul ㄷㄷㄷ Did I just see Drakan react to a regular user besides Eugene?]
[The guy who didn’t even twitch his lips when I donated a million won earlier?]
[Wow, I’m clipping this]
[Drakan-nim! Me too! Call my nickname too!]
[Who is that person?;;]
[Does anyone know who this ‘Ha-yeon’ person is?]
I reacted to someone else’s chat besides Eugene’s!
That fact alone turned the chatroom into a frenzy.
The chat was filled with people asking me to call their nicknames, saying they would clip this scene, saying it was the first time they saw me react, and even asking about Shin Ha-yeon’s identity.
In that situation, Shin Ha-yeon’s chat popped up again.
[Ha-yeon: Just wondering if you’re okay.]
“Are you worried about me?”
I laughed at that.
Shin Ha-yeon.
For her to worry about someone was unimaginable to me.
Shin Ha-yeon remained silent for a while after my words, and the chatroom was filled with all sorts of speculation and assumptions as I reacted twice.
[Who the hell is this Ha-yeon person?]
[Hey, someone look it up lol lol lol]
[At this point, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence;; Do they know each other?]
[Seriously, who is Ha-yeon lol lol]
[Drakan-nim. Who is Ha-yeon?]
Countless messages flooded the chat, but I didn’t feel the need to say anything, so I remained silent.
Above all, if Shin Ha-yeon didn’t want to reveal her identity, there was no need for me to open my mouth first.
[Ha-yeon: Yes. I was worried.]
“You’re worried about me? The sun must be rising in the west tomorrow.”
Shin Ha-yeon fell silent again at my words, and I smiled faintly, watching her.
[No way, did he just smile? I’m not seeing things, right?]
[Judging by the nickname ‘Ha-yeon’, could she be his girlfriend?]
[Definitely his girlfriend lol lol lol]
[Wow crazy;;; That would be amazing if it’s true;;]
The chatroom was amplifying and reproducing all sorts of rumors after seeing me like that, but I was still ignoring their chat, and eventually, the conversation started to flow in a strange direction.
[Eugene-nim! Please ask Drakan-nim who Ha-yeon is!]
[Hurry up!]
[Definitely ask!]
Eugene!
The viewers started demanding that he ask me, the person who was good at reacting.
Hearing that question, Eugene laughed awkwardly, as if embarrassed.
“Ha, haha. Drakan-nim. What should I do?”
“Well……”
I trailed off at Eugene’s words.
I had never been in this kind of situation before, so I couldn’t think of any escape strategy.
It seemed Eugene felt the same, as awkward laughter continued between us. At that moment,
[Ha-yeon: Everyone, are you all so curious about my identity? :)]
Shin Ha-yeon’s message appeared in the chatroom.
[Yes! We’re curious!]
[Who are you?]
[Are you really Drakan’s girlfriend?]
[And now, for the question you’ve all been waiting for. I really want to know.]
Messages followed one after another!
I frowned as I watched the scene.
‘What is she trying to do?’
As I was trying to figure out Shin Ha-yeon’s intentions behind her chat asking if they were curious about her identity,
[Ha-yeon: (Link)]
Shin Ha-yeon posted a link.
And after seemingly checking the link, chat messages started appearing sporadically.
[Shin Ha-yeon. Executive Director of Jeil E&M…… Second daughter of the Jeil Group chairman……?]
[So, a chaebol?]
[Everyone, hands off your keyboards!!!!]
Shin Ha-yeon!
She had linked her profile on the portal site.
With that, the atmosphere in the chatroom instantly turned cold.
The weight of the name ‘chaebol’ was that immense.
And seeing that scene, Shin Ha-yeon posted another message.
[Ha-yeon: Has everyone’s curiosity been satisfied? :)]
Seeing that message, I realized something.
Shin Ha-yeon was enjoying this atmosphere!
Almost no one responded to her emoticon-filled chat.
I shook my head, and while doing so, Shin Ha-yeon’s chat appeared again.
[Ha-yeon: Anyway, I’m relieved that you’re alright. If anything happens, please let me know, and I’ll see you later after you log out.]
“Alright.”
Shin Ha-yeon didn’t post any more messages after that, and Eugene and I continued flying through the sky on the Bone Wyvern.
“This wasteland really seems endless.”
Eugene said, looking at the endless wasteland, and I nodded in agreement.
“Indeed.”
It was truly an endless wasteland.
“We need to find a place to land.”
Although the Bone Wyvern’s flight range was much longer than a normal Wyvern’s, it couldn’t fly for an almost infinite amount of time like a Bone Dragon.
If Lich Dice’s mana ran out, the Bone Wyvern would have to land.
‘Besides, there’s no guarantee that the enemy’s forces are only ground-based.’
The enemy!
There was no guarantee that the Hive Mind’s minions were only ground forces.
There might be individuals among them who could fly.
And before encountering such enemies, we needed terrain where we could hide.
The quest was something to think about later.
As I was looking at the endlessly stretching wilderness,
“Drakan-nim.”
Eugene called me.
“Could I ask what kind of quest you mentioned earlier?”
What Eugene mentioned next was the quest!
Hearing his words, I finally remembered that I had briefly mentioned the quest to him before being sucked into the dimensional gate leading to this other world.
I briefly considered whether to share the quest with him, and then made a decision.
“Seeing is believing, so I’ll share the quest with you. See for yourself and decide.”
To utilize the power of this top-ranked player for my quest, it was better to share it with him anyway.
Besides, unlike the previous game, secrecy didn’t work in Second.
Of course, the practice of hiding truly important information like honey farming spots, honey dungeons, and new areas and keeping them to themselves hadn’t completely disappeared from the previous game.
However, unlike the previous game, where quest information was kept secret and only revealed after being cleared, in Second, due to the existence of ‘Ard Live’, where you could earn money by broadcasting or uploading videos of quest scenes and dungeon raids, most named users now shared quest information with their viewers rather than hiding it.
Because it was more profitable.
Besides, this was another world anyway, and no one could interfere here.
Therefore, I sent a quest share message to Eugene through the system without much hesitation.
[Do you want to share the quest ‘The Lost Lycansrope Tribe’ with party member ‘Eugene’?]
“Yes.”
[Quest share request sent to ‘Eugene’.]
[Quest share request accepted by ‘Eugene’.]
A message popped up immediately, stating that Eugene had accepted the quest share request.
“I see. This kind of quest……”
Eugene nodded as if he understood something after reading the quest details.
[I’m dying of curiosity. What kind of quest sends you to another world lol lol]
[Eugene-nim, please answer!]
The chat was once again flooded with questions, and seeing those messages, Eugene asked in an awkward voice.
“Uh, what should I do? Is it okay if I tell them?”
“I’ll tell them.”
As soon as I finished speaking, messages started pouring in rapidly.
[Hul lol lol lol Drakan is answering lol lol lol]
[Drakan is being really generous with reactions today lol lol lol]
[Our Drakan has changed lol lol lol]
Looking at the chatroom, I slowly summarized the content of the quest in one line and concisely conveyed it to the viewers.
“The quest I received is to find the whereabouts of the Lycansrope Tribe, which is somewhere in this other world.”
