[Visionary Broadcast is now streaming!]
[Visionary Broadcast Channel #... is now activated!]
'Oh crap, The Visionary Broadcast!?' Min-beom's eyes widened in shock as the two creatures looked at each other and then turned their gazes on him.
Visionary Broadcast:
Basically, a streaming platform like for gaming platforms but for mythical gods in the skies, when it's currently streaming, the Vision Gods, the Primordial Beings and the Olympians will watch you for entertainment and fun of course.
If they ever find you interesting, they'll gift you with something special, such as, swords, weapons and even blessings, blessings are very hard to obtain from the Vision Gods.
Since he doesn't have any Visions, he's pretty weak.
'Why didn't this Merchant choose any Visions at the beginning?'
He sighed as he crossed both of his arms over his chest, wondering why. The clouds covered the sunny day, creating a gloomy atmosphere everywhere in this city.
[Visions:
Visions are the ones that support you in your journey, such as the Vision Gods. This option was already given at the beginning after the first scenario, showing if there are any Vision Gods are interested to support you. They will also give you a bonus ability or a blessing they call, in order to make you more powerful.]
A large screen appeared in the sky as he looked at it, intrigued by it. The screen showed a timer that was frozen and there was a voice.
[Ahem- Ahem- Is it streaming now? Okay, okay.]
'Huh?'
[Hello again, mere mortals! Welcome to the second scenario~]
[If you survived through the first scenario, well, aren't you a lucky one? Hehe.]
'The first scenario…' Min-beom started remembering the events of the novel in the beginning, a protagonist who was fed up with his life and an apocalypse happened when he was walking in the streets, on his way to the workplace.
When the first scenario was introduced, that's where he got his first kill. First sin in his life. But that protagonist is a ruthless jerk, it would be dangerous if Min-beom met him.
'Hmph, I bet that guy's already level twenty or something.'
[Ahem! As I was saying… You mere mortals will face a pretty tough challenge, prepare your weapons or spells, whatever.]
[As long as what you mortals do is interesting enough to entertain the Gods up there in the skies. [*cackle*] Now, Good luck and survive the whole scenario.] The voice cleared their throat and then the voice stopped after saying their goodbye.
[The Rank E Gate is now opened!]
The timer on the screen in the sky started a countdown of six hours.
'Six hours, six hours… Okay, I have plenty of time.' Min-beom took a deep breath and looked at the two creatures.
"Okay, let's do this." He said with a confident expression, Myung-mi looked at him in confusion.
"Wow… Master, that's the first time we saw you all confident and excited." The dragon said as he looked around the dark alley. Bora hissed softly. "You're right."
'How did this Merchant get these companions in the first place…'
"Let's just go, I'll just check these details."
"He really hit his head that hard…" Bora whispered as Myung-mi nodded slowly.
"Or, maybe a sign of change…" Myung-mi whispered back while flying in the air.
"I can hear you two!" Min-beom clenched his teeth and snorted, he tapped the scenario details, revealing the things that were involved.
[Scenario two - Category: Main]
[Objective: Kill at least 3 Rank E and Rank D. beasts.] - [Time remaining: Six hours.]
[Reward: 430 Golds and 450 EXP.] - [Scenario effects: one random ability will be disabled during this scenario.] - [Scenario restrictions: Above Rank C is not allowed to join in this scenario.] - [Penalty for failure: Death.]
'Yeah… On second thought, I feel like backing out now.' Min-beom became a bit nervous, despite him having no experience in combats except for gaming combats but having the knowledge of this novel.
A holographic screen appeared in front of him, [Trading Mystery [Lvl. 1] is now disabled!] It read as he dismissed the screen.
"Phew… Good thing it's something useless."
He whispered to himself as he opened his attribute screen and a sword appeared in his hand, it was a common sword, and he was disappointed by himself.
Suddenly, he heard loud growls, screams and flesh ripping which hurt his ears. Myung-mi and Bora took a peek in the street, seeing some people fighting off some beasts that are Rank E [Giant Monstrous looking-wolf creature]. Rank D beasts are nowhere to be found in the area.
Min-beom left the dark alley with a sword in his hand as he watched the others fight the beasts with ease, a lot of screens popping beside them, and dinging noises filling the air.
It was Overwhelming.
They looked so powerful while the others looked helpless to defeat one of the beasts.
All of a sudden, there was a beast that was huge, black fur, and purple menacing eyes and suddenly spotted him in the corner, he flinched as the beast rushed towards him, his face became pale like he lost all the blood in his cold veins.
Myung-mi and Bora were too late to react as the beast was closing in. Before it could get him, a spear was thrown at its neck, letting out its final scream before its lifeless body fell down the ground.
[Several Gods were disappointed by your late reaction!]
A ding noise appeared as the screen popped up beside him, he looked over to the person that threw the spear, his eyes widened in surprise, his ember eyes sparkled like he had seen something so awesome.
Min-beom recognized the person who had thrown the spear at the monster.
It was Dae Jung-Lee. The Son of the Sage or The Honor of the Six Wands. He was called by that name in the mid-chapters due to the vision he had chosen, he was one of the main characters but not the protagonist of the story. The man ran up to him.
"Hey! Are you okay?" Jung-Lee asked, breathing heavily from the fight.
"Yes, yes- I'm fine, thanks." He said as he let out a sigh of relief. Bora and Myung-mi looked at Jung-Lee with distrust.
Jung-Lee was a handsome man, brown eyes and hazelnut short hair, wearing a white t-shirt, blue jacket, black pants and black shoes. A slim, thin and slightly muscular physique. A part of the Class Hunter and one of Min-beom's favorite characters. Honestly.
"Watch out for these beasts, they are dangerous, keep your guard up."
Jung-Lee said as he went to the middle of the street, fighting off some beasts, helping some other people. Min-beom's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but admire that character from the novel even in this reality he's in.
A question suddenly popped in his mind, 'where is the protagonist?' He shook his head, getting rid of that thought since he didn't want to meet such a ruthless jerk like him.
He looked up and noticed that the timer was now 5 hours left, how could he kill these beasts with such a weak ability and no vision?
Min-beom gripped his sword as he eyed one of the Rank E beasts, trying to spot their weak spots. He had remembered that their weak spots could be in the chest, heart and head but it depends on how strong they really are.
Myung-mi and Bora watched him as they shared glances with each other.
He took a deep breath, opening his eyes. His Swordsmanship is an automatic skill so there's no need for him to bring up the attribute screen.
He dashed towards the Rank E beast that was behind as he slashed his sword at the chest, the beast shrieked out a painful shriek, its lifeless body dropping to the ground as Min-beom flashed a confident smile.
'Bingo!' He smirked as he saw the others struggle with fighting the beasts. There was a ding beside him.
[Kill Rank E beasts (1/3) Incomplete.]
Then another screen with something written on it:
[The Vision: The Blood Serpent of Rebirth is impressed by your strategy!]
[5 Golds have been gifted!]
Min-beom chuckled slightly as he looked over to the other beasts.
He rushed towards the other beasts that had no guard up with ease, aiming at their chest and heart instead of the head. Myung-mi and Bora were amazed by the moves he was making as the others that had finished their objective took interest in him, Min-beom could hear endless dings beside him as he kept his smile on his face.
After one Rank E beast, he wiped the blood off his cheek and there was one final ding after killing the last remaining Rank E beast.
[Kill Rank E beasts (8/3) Completed!]
[The Rank E Gate is now closed!]
[Several Gods are impressed by your actions.] - [10 Golds have been gifted!]
He dismissed the screen as he flashed a smile, the shadowy gate had disappeared slowly. A man approached him with hands in his pockets.
"Hey kid. Nice fight you did there."
The man laughed as Min-beom looked at him confusedly. He recognized him by his appearance. He goes by the name Choi Dong-hyun.
[The character Choi Dong-hyun has taken interest in you.]
A screen appeared in front of him, but the man didn't seem to notice it or see it. Before Min-beom could reply, another man approached him, and it was a random guy that seemed to be friends with Dong-hyun.
'If I remember correctly… Dong-hyun is the minor antagonist of the story in the early chapters but killed by the protagonist with his bare hands…' Min-beom looked at him in distrust as he crossed his arms onto his chest.
"If you're going to ask me to team up with you, I'm not interested."
