Overgeared - Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158: 1158

“It is too bad . It’s really disappointing . ”

The Koreans watching the videos of the war between the Overgeared Kingdom and Gauss Kingdom were sighing .  The bigger Grid became, the more people expressed their regret . Their age group was also significantly higher .  They were in the mid-50s to early 70s .  This was the generation that witnessed and experienced the days when South Korea reigned as the pinnacle of e-sports .

“A gamer’s best days are short . . . ”

There was a time when South Korea won games whenever a competition was held .  The time when they were disgraced and condemned for being the runner-up at competitions did exist .  However, this golden age was short .  The e-sports myth of South Korea ended in 15 years after succumbing to the power of capital of the United States, Europe, and China .

As talented people born and raised in South Korea started pouring their passions and talents in overseas league matches, the level of overseas games quickly overtook South Korea .  By the time Satisfy was released years later, South Korea had already fallen into a position where it was considered a ‘country weak in gaming . ’

Then five years ago, a comet called Grid appeared .  Grid brought up memories for those in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who had to gradually move away from games to become someone’s parents . He resurrected the glory of the past and restored the pride that the people lost .

This was a virtual reality game played by two billion people .  Satisfy had developed into a market many times larger than soccer, baseball, basketball, and rugby combined and South Koreans were happy in the past few years thanks to Grid .  Nevertheless, the generation that had already lost its glory once knew that someone’s era couldn’t last forever .

“He should be active when he is still in his prime . . . ”

“That’s right . . . ”

Compared to other sports, gaming had a very short heyday for players . Usually, those who were in their mid-20s were considered to be old .  Grid had already passed 30 .  It wouldn’t be strange if he lost his title of supreme one .

People were disappointed when Grid declared that he wouldn’t participate in the National Competition . It was unsettling that Grid’s prime could end in the next year or so . The moment that Grid’s prime ended, South Korea would never become first or second at the National Competition again .

He showed an overwhelming strength this year and it was the year when he should participate in the National Competition . . .

Many people were anxious .  In addition to Grid, South Korea was packed with talents such as Yura, Peak Sword, Coke, and Eat Spicy Jokbal . However, the number of players was very small compared to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, China, and other powers .  Furthermore, Peak Sword and Eat Spicy Jokbal were older than Grid and they were likely to become less active in a few years .  South Korea might miss one of the few opportunities to win the National Competition . . .

As people’s concerns deepened, news started pouring out .

-(Breaking) South America’s top ranker has become a Korean citizen?

-(Breaking) The Ministry of Justice, under the Presidential Decree, will issue a special naturalization to Jishuka .  

-It is in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 1, Measure 3 of the Nationality Act .

-(Breaking) Godly Archer Jishuka is a genius . . .  she already speaks Korean at a native level .  Her amazing Korean proficiency seemed to have a significant impact on the review .

-The Patriotic Association is thankful for the government’s quick response .

“ . . . Wow . ”

“Noona, I’m dead . ”

The concerns of those who confirmed the news were swept away like they were lies .  Despite being a normal class, Jishuka was considered to be one of the strongest high rankers .  The first that a high ranker had become a Korean citizen seemed to lift the gloom that had been hanging over South Korea .  The Internet was also in an uproar .

-A new South Korea . A country that holds the two top beauties in the world .

-The country of beauty .

-Even in this century, South Korea seems to have superior genes .

-Control your mind .  It is Grid’s genes, not South Korea’s genes, that are superior .

‘I think my father was wrong . ’

King Nemesis received the result of the Reidan desert battle and visited the tomb of King Cactus .  The Overgeared King caused damage to the 90,000 vanguard alone and the vampire army that demanded blood were already the Overgeared King’s subordinates .  King Nemesis heard the incredible news and came to a conclusion .  His father had promised that the Overgeared King would never be Gauss’ opponent . He was wrong .

‘My father told me that Grid was just a lucky king . The truth is that we are the lucky ones . ’

Grid, an ordinary person, was able to become a king through all sorts of miracles . Since miracles were originally derived from luck, the king had lowered the concept of a miracle .  In retrospect, they were destined to be kings from the moment they were born . Weren’t they the greatest beneficiary of luck? Was he blinded by his natural fate?

‘We should’ve seen and learned from the Eternal Kingdom’s destruction . Many things should’ve been corrected when the Overgeared Kingdom was founded . ’

However, it was too late .  It was irreversible .  All that remained was the last fight .  King Nemesis returned to the palace and wore armor .  It wasn’t a ceremonial ornament but equipment for war .

“What is the situation of the reinforcements?”

“It is said that they are still tied up in the Fold Kingdom . ”

“What type of power does the Fold Kingdom have to prevent the march of four kingdoms?”

“The combat ability of 1st Prince Shining is more than rumored . . . ”

“The ones favored by the Overgeared King are amazing . ”

One of the measures he had prepared had become obsolete again .  It once again proved that the miracle called the Overgeared Kingdom came from skill, not luck .  In the end, the previous king’s assessment was wrong .  However, all the fault lay with Nemesis, who couldn’t persuade the previous king .

King Nemesis had a hard expression as he glanced at his last hope .  It was an eight year old child .  A young girl with blonde hair was sitting down and drinking fruit wine with a relaxed expression .  She didn’t seem at all agitated by the news of the defeat .  Even the Overgeared army would be ridiculous to the monster of the tower that even the empire had no control over .

“Sir Goldhit, I apologize . Our war has become more disadvantageous then when we first made this request of you . ”

“Yohoho . . . Don’t worry about it . ”

Goldhit, the magician king who was rumored to overwhelm 10 great magicians alone .  She was satisfied with the new body prepared for this war and laughed .

“It is a tough war but I will help the Gauss Kingdom . ”

“Thank you, Sir Goldhit . . . ”

King Nemesis bowed his head deeply, unaware of Goldhit’s true intentions .  King Nemesis believed that Goldhit had come to repay the old favor to Gauss .  This was a misunderstanding .  A monster who sacrificed tens of thousands of young children wouldn’t care about favors .

‘Braham . . . ’

A dark smile appeared on Goldhit’s face .  She knew the relationship between Grid and Braham and easily deduced that the resurrected Braham would be with Grid .  That’s right .  Goldhit was dreaming of meeting Braham .

The reason she had no direct contact with the Overgeared Kingdom was because she was worried that her bad relationship with Grid would become a barrier . Secondly, she wanted to witness Braham’s skills . Thirdly, she wanted to properly punish Grid who had turned her disciples and lightning god into wastes .

“Yoho! Yohohoho . . . !”

Enhanced magic was something her teacher Lilis had never learned .  Now Goldhit would be different .

If Braham directly taught her then she would surely be enlightened .  In addition, Braham wouldn’t turn away from her, who was Lilis’ disciple .  The relationship between Braham and Lilis was never trivial .

“Wow . . . the road is endless . ”

“Do we need to move for another fortnight?”

“What? To that extent?”

The players, who barely escaped Pangea after defeating the jiangshi, encountered a new setback .  They needed to stop by Karas first for a full-fledged East Continent adventure but the distance was far more than they expected and they felt despair .

“The horses are tired too quickly because the road isn’t cleaned properly . . . I have to walk almost all day and I’m going crazy . ”

“At this time, I'm envious of billionaires . People like them can fly on a wyvern and arrive in no time . ”

“Wyverns can’t be taken out carelessly in the East Continent . ”

“Why?”

“Dragons who failed to ascend to the sky and became monsters become jealous when they see wyverns . ”

“The sky . . . If I knew this then I would just go north . ”

“That is suicide . ”

Hera’s ears pricked up as the story of the north was heard from the group walking .  North was the direction that Kentrick headed alone .  She heard rumors that it was a place full of monsters but she thought it wouldn’t be a big challenge for Kentrick, who had killed the steel jiangshi .  Still, she was a bit worried .

“The monster communities in the north contain community of monsters that are incomparable to the steel jiangshi . In particular, the bosses of each community are over level 400 . ”

“A field boss near the beginning town is over level 400 . . . ? Is that real? Isn’t it too exaggerated, even if this is the East Continent?”

It was a normal reaction .  Boss monsters level 400 or high could only be met in the top dungeons of the West Continent .  The man who explained it to the disbelieving group looked proud .

“Did I tell you about how I came to the East Continent before Pangea was destroyed?”

“Yes . ”

“Did you know that Grid succeeded in capturing a community at that time?”

“Oh?”

“Yet he stopped at one . ”

“ . . . ?”

“Grid couldn’t even touch the other communities afterwards . It has been a few years and all communities are intact except for the big poisonous rat community cleared by Grid . It is the north that can’t be explored at all . So don’t say anything . Just look in front of you and walk . ”

“ . . . !”

Hera’s heart sank .  Kentrick might be strong but wasn’t he alone? She was worried about Kentrick challenging a monster community that even Grid couldn’t challenge . She wanted to go back and help Kentrick but she didn’t have the power to help anyone .  If she was there, she would just disturb him .

‘ . . . I’m not fighting monsters but an illness . ’

Hera recalled her client’s son .  The little boy had only known pain from the moment he was born, yet he still had a beautiful heart .  Hera wanted to show him a wide world .  She wanted to tell him with a smile that he had endured well .

***

“Phew . ”

Grid endured it for ages .

[The ruler of the lazy cow community, the ‘Special Black Cow,’ has been defeated . ]

[The Special Black Cow realized his foolishness only at the last moment . ]

[The second gateway in the north of Pangea has been dealt with!]

[Foolish Gambler’s Die has been acquired . ]

[The Black Cow’s Horns have been acquired . ]

[7 blessed weapon enhancement scrolls have been acquired . ]

[11 blessed armor enhancement scrolls have been acquired . ]

[The title ‘Pangea's New Star’ has been enhanced!]

“ . . . The boss was a gambling addict . ”

The Special Black Cow was a type of monster difficult for ordinary players to raid .  It was only when they won a gamble against the black cow that they could get an opportunity to attack . The black cow’s job of ‘gambler’ wasn’t ordinary and it was difficult to win in a gamble . The bigger problem was that the challenger couldn’t hurt the cow even when winning in the gamble .

However, Grid was able to know the position of the die in the cup using his transcendent hearing and his attack power was enough to deal damage to the black cow .

‘If I wasn’t a transcendent, I would’ve been kicked out without getting a chance to attack and all my money would be gone . ’

It was creepy just imagining it .  Grid shook his head and moved to the ‘toothless tiger’ community .  Grid judged that his level would probably rise there .

***

In Pangea . . .

“ . . . !”

Nobuldam’s eyes widened as he was inspecting the new people who came from the West .  In contrast to his rather tacky appearance, the high-ranking noble of the Cho Kingdom sensed that the energy of the Special Black Cow had disappeared .

‘Don’t tell me . . . did he come?’

How the hell did he avoid the inspection?

‘No . . . it isn’t certain yet . ’

Nobuldam sent strength to his belly .  Then his belly bounced like a ball against the ground and Nobuldam flew high into the sky .

“A-Ambassador No!”

The soldiers were shocked by the sudden situation but Nobuldam ignored them .  He was a bit resentful toward the soldiers who failed to properly measure the Westerners’ ability to break through the plains and those who weren’t faithful to their duties .  

‘I have to hurry!’

He had to grasp the identity of the person who destroyed the community .  If he was right, he had to prevent this person from being hit .  Nobuldam thought this as he moved north, his belly stretching like a ball .  At the same time, in the Hwan Kingdom . . .

“ . . . You?”

A beautiful man stopped while training his swordsmanship . One of the plum petals falling toward the tip of his sword scattered into hundreds of pieces of dust .
