Leveling Up Alone - Chapter 382

Chapter 382 – Decisive Battle (4)

‘Wow, I just reached Level 500, but I'm already at Level 501?’

Han-Yeol was surprised by his rapid level-up speed. This unexpected advancement was all thanks to the Black Orc Horde.

While Han-Yeol enjoyed a leisure tour of his new island, the Black Orcs diligently hunted down the monsters still on the loose. Due to their efforts, Han-Yeol gained experience points despite doing nothing. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

A tremendous amount of experience points was required to level up from Level 500 onwards, making it remarkable that he could advance without killing a single monster.

‘Geez, it's quite convenient, but it feels somewhat strange.’

One of the significant issues PC games faced in the past was illegal macros, which later evolved into illegal botting. However, the advent of mobile games introduced a feature called Auto Hunt, enabling automatic leveling and farming without active gameplay. Han-Yeol couldn't help but feel that his gaming experience had transitioned from a PC game to a mobile game.

‘Well, I don't plan to loiter around doing nothing anyway.’

He was taking a break for now due to a busy schedule, but he intended to resume hunting once he had the time.

Wooong! Kwachik!

[Hey! Move those materials here!]

[Okay!]

Han-Yeol decided to rename the Japanese Archipelago as the Atarinia Archipelago and opted to rebuild Old Nagoya into a new city, intending for it to become the new center of the archipelago.

Mujahid approached Han-Yeol with a sheepish grin. Then, he jokingly groaned, “Wow... You must be so happy, hyung-nim...”

“Hey, you were taught by all sorts of etiquette teachers, so can’t you carry yourself with more weight around here? Try to act like royalty for a change, will you?”

“Hehe... Let’s not change the subject here, hyung-nim! Also, I left all of that back in Egypt before boarding my flight! I can’t come carrying baggage when I’m meeting you, right? Besides, it can be very tiring to pretend I have a say in how things are run back home when I don’t really have any influence.”

“Tsk tsk... How are you going to rule Egypt with that kind of mentality?”

Mujahid simply shrugged in response and said, “Well, I’ll figure it out later. My father is going to be around for a long time, and I might just bring the country to ruin if I rule it later. Haha!”

“Sigh...” Han-Yeol let out a sigh and shook his head.

Tayarana and Mujahid were the only ones granted royal education, as their other siblings were considered unfit to rule by their father. While Han-Yeol didn't receive such education himself, he gleaned an understanding of it through his ascent to the top of the Bastro Dimension, where he ruled as its Dimension Lord—a position more prestigious than the presidency of Egypt.

Despite Mujahid's royal education, Han-Yeol couldn't help but find him extremely childish, yet he empathized with Mujahid's predicament.

‘Well, he's being coerced into something he doesn't want to do, so...’

It was likely a relief for Egypt that Mujahid knew how to conduct himself during official meetings, consistently dedicating himself to matters of significance.

However, Mujahid's continued presence after the Craspio raid was straightforward. The post-recovery of Japan, or rather, Atarinia, was entrusted to one of Mujahid’s personal companies—the Goblin Construction Company.

“I’ve secured numerous tenders with my Goblin Group, but this is the first time I’ve been granted such a massive project. Reconstructing an entire archipelago is just...”

“What? It sounds extensive, but it's not that formidable of a task, right?”

“I guess you're right, hyung-nim,” Mujahid replied with a nod.

Despite the vast expanse of land in Atarinia, the actual construction required was not overly significant. Han-Yeol had no intention of constructing a new city or developing it into a country. Instead, he planned to utilize it as his personal space. As for the rest of the archipelago, his objective was to hunt monsters.

While various news outlets were busy capturing the sight, Han-Yeol’s channel, now one of the top channels in the country, was also present at the site.

“Hello, everybody! I’m your host, Ha-Yeon!”

The Mulan Crew was filming at the site, and this time their host was a famous member of a k-pop girl group. Ha-Yeon had technically left her k-pop girl group when she received the offer to become the host of Han-Yeol’s broadcast channel.

[Oh! Ha-Yeon! Ha-Yeon!]

[She’s so pretty!]

[Yeah, but where are you right now?]

“Hehe~ We have something special for you today! Ah, should I say I’m overseas right now? There’s no immigration here, so it sort of feels strange to put it that way... Hmm...”

[She’s so cute!]

Ha-Yeon was offered a salary large enough to make her one of the top earners among k-pop idols, and she gave her best effort when recording every episode with the Mulan Team. She proved to be a professional, as every word and gesture she made was calculated to capture the hearts of her audiences.

“We are here live from the Atarinia Archipelago!”

[Huh? Atarinia Archipelago?]

[Where the hell is that?]

[I’ve never heard of that place before...]

[Is it a small island country in Southeast Asia or in the Pacific?]

[What? Where?]

[Hold on! I think I know!]

Viewers were confused by the unfamiliar name mentioned.

It had not been long since Han-Yeol formally declared the name change of Japan to Atarinia, so the archipelago’s new name was not widely known yet. In fact, most online map websites still referred to the entire island as Japan, but it was now called Japan Archipelago.

Confusion continued in the chat room for a good ten minutes.

[Ah! I found it!]

[Where? Where?]

[WHAT?!]

[Why? What’s wrong?]

[T-That is... Lee Han-Yeol changed the name of Japan to Atarinia...?]

[Huh? Really?]

[Ah! Now that you mention it, this is his channel, right? Then, that means he can do whatever he wants! I think Japan, no, Atarinia is known to be very dangerous due to the monsters on the loose, but I’m sure he’s more than capable of protecting our beloved Ha-Yeon!]

[I see!]

News of the Mulan Crew’s broadcast referring to Japan as Atarinia spread like wildfire, and Atarinia became the most searched word online. Subsequently, the view count skyrocketed from one hundred thousand to three hundred, four hundred, and even up to five hundred thousand viewers, showing no signs of stopping as it continued to rise.

The entire world was curious about what Atarinia was all about, leading people from every country to tune into the broadcast.
