Overgeared - Chapter 580

Chapter 580

Overgeared .

It was a combination of the English word ‘item’ and ‘system . ’ (TL: In Korean) It was a slang term that appeared in the early 21st century in South Korea .  It was a term used to express users who depended on the ability of the item, rather than their skills, and was generally used for mockery .

But now? Being overgeared was also recognized as a skill .  People’s perception of it changed in Satisfy as a result of Grid .  Now there was no one who made fun of overgeared people .

『 Overgeared Kingdom! It’s a very cool name! 』

『 It’s especially good that the meaning is clear . It is good since it symbolizes Grid and the Overgeared members . 』

『 The name gives off a robust feel . All the people and soldiers of Overgeared will be armed with great items . 』

『 Huhu, a kingdom where all the people and soldiers are armed with great items . . . The strongest kingdom has appeared in Satisfy . 』

『 The neighborhood kids play around by pretending to summon a red phoenix . . . 』

『 . . . I think I should move to the Overgeared Kingdom . 』

These were the reactions of the foreign commentators .  From their point of view, overgeared was a foreign word and didn’t look very strange to them . On the other hand, the Korean commentators and viewers were baffled .

『 No, the name of the kingdom is Overgeared . . . ? 』

『 I can appreciate that it has a clear meaning, but I don’t like it that much . 』

『 . . . 』

-What’s the Overgeared Kingdom? Is this real?

-The name is delicious .  I want to eat rice because of it .

-Isn’t it fitting? I laughed when I first heard it . Now it isn’t so strange and rolls of my tongue .

-Even overgeared king sounds cool ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Right . ㅋㅋㅋ Overgeared King Grid really fits . ㅋㅋㅋ

-The reactions of the international community are explosive .  I think the name Overgeared Kingdom is very strong .

-It’s strong because Grid comes to mind whenever I hear the name ‘overgeared . ’

-But why is Lauel acting like that?

-The lord he serves has become king .

-Kuk . . .  Thrills of excitement . How wonderful .

-A beautiful picture of a lord and a loyalist .  It gives off the feeling of a historical drama .

The Korean viewers talking about the name ‘Overgeared’ started to pay attention to Lauel .

On the screen, Lauel was shedding tears .  Was it tears of excitement as the viewers thought? That wasn’t the case .

***

“Overgeared Kingdom? Did you say overgeared just now?”

After hearing Grid’s declaration, Lauel received a great shock .

Grid nodded at the doubting Lauel .

"Yes, it’s a name I have painstakingly built . Isn’t it cool?”

“ . . . ”

Lauel had been anxious since Grid named the Overgeared Guild .  He was worried that Grid would name the kingdom Overgeared when it was set up .   His worries became a reality .

“How is it cool? No, Overgeared Kingdom! No way! It stinks!”

Lauel raised his voice and Grid responded like he didn’t understand .

"Why isn’t Overgeared cool?”

Grid once had the worst life and could stand upright due to items . Thanks to items, he became stronger, built up his self-esteem, and strengthened his finances .

“My life can be defined by being overgeared . We were able to meet because of items . Isn’t it wonderful? Overgeared Kingdom . ”

Suuk .

Grid looked at the other members for their opinions . Then the Overgeared members started to agree one by one .

"That's right . It’s true . ”

“Isn’t it natural for the kingdom that the Overgeared Guild established be called Overgeared?”

“I can’t think of a name other than Overgeared . ”

“ . . . ”

A feast of unexpected responses! Was this a dream or reality? Lauel was confused, but he quickly calmed down .

‘Overgeared . . . Well, it’s special . '

Grid was right .  For the Overgeared Guild, the meaning of overgeared was significant .  Everyone trusted each other, cheered each other on, grew while being rivals, and now they had set up a kingdom . It began with items and ended with items .

‘Overgeared Guild, Overgeared Kingdom . ’

And then Overgeared Empire .  Looking back, it wasn’t so bad .  Overgeared Kingdom .  It sounded okay . Lauel turned pale as he had this thought .

‘ . . . Unbelievable . Is my naming sense starting to become like Grid’s?’

The name ‘Darkness of Infinite Destiny Kingdom’ that he had been thinking about for a few months became the crude Overgeared Kingdom?

‘It’s the worst . ’

He was influenced by Grid’s naming sense while serving him . It felt like he lost his dignity as a human .

“Ugh . . . !”

Lauel was disappointed that he couldn’t deny the coolness of the Overgeared Kingdom . He knelt down and started shedding tears .  He felt sad and ashamed . However, Grid misunderstood .

‘This guy . . . He’s so excited that he’s crying . Well, the joy he’s feeling right now will transcend my joy . '

Lauel was the one who helped Grid set up this kingdom .  Lauel did all this for Grid .  If Grid hadn’t met Lauel, he would’ve never dreamt about building a kingdom . He would’ve just remained a strong user . Lauel was a special person to Grid .

“This is our kingdom . Together, let’s lead it well forever . ”

“ . . . !”

Together, forever .  Grid’s words awakened Lauel’s heart and soul .  Lauel was reminded of his deep loyalty and got up . Then he swore emotionally .

“My soul and heart will be yours until the day that this body is crushed . And it will be repeated in the next life and the one after that!”

“Eh? U-Uh, yes . ”

Grid sometimes was at a loss when he talked to Lauel . He got goosebumps as Piaro approached .

"I brought Aslan . ”

“Um . ”

Grid and Lauel’s eyes moved to one side in unison .  King Aslan stared at Grid from where he was tied up . There was madness and resentment in his eyes .

“You’re like a rabid dog . ”

A notification window popped up in front of Grid .

[King Aslan has sacrificed innumerable people for his personal ambition . ]

[Aslan has been morally corrupted . He has committed a sin that is unforgivable . In addition, Aslan is hostile to you . You have succeeded in defeating Aslan . You have the right to punish Aslan . ]

[Aslan has lost the ‘Absolute Protection’ passive applied to NPC kings . ]

[Would you like to punish Aslan? Please be cautious . Aslan is king of the kingdom and a high punishment is likely to cause opposition . ]

[Please note! If you dethrone or execute Aslan, the Eternal Kingdom will disappear . The Eternal Kingdom will be disbanded and this will have a profound influence on the continent . You will have a destiny that might be hard to handle . ]

All types of warnings appeared in front of Grid .  But Grid didn’t hesitate at all .  He would punish and destroy Eternal . This had been determined from the moment he started the war . He couldn’t be afraid now that the storm was over . There was only one ending .

“Hand Aslan over to the people . ”

The people experienced sorrow, anger, and despair due to Aslan .  Grid meant to give Aslan to those who were still crying so they could kill Aslan . Aslan cried out .

“You . . ! The Saharan Empire is behind me! You will never be safe if you hurt me!”

“ . . . !”

The soldiers belonging to Overgeared flinched .  They were frightened at the thought of being hostile to the Saharan Empire .  However, the members of Overgeared, including Grid, didn’t raise a single eyebrow . Grid approached King Aslan and smiled .

"I don’t know what you have noticed, but I will eventually swallow the Saharan Empire . It’s natural to be hostile to them . ”

“What?”

Swallowing the strongest nation that dominated the continent? Some people would think it was absurd nonsense . But King Aslan couldn’t laugh . The madness in his eyes were erased for a moment .

" . . . I should’ve been this dignified . ”

Aslan borrowed Saharan’s power, despite his desire to beat them, and even waved Saharan’s power at the last minute .  He blamed his stupid self and closed his eyes with regret . He decided to humble accept it, even if his body was torn apart by the people and his soul fell to hell .

‘Father, Brother . I am sorry . ’

On this day, Aslan, the last king of Eternal died .

[You have succeeded in occupying Reinhardt!]

[356,931 people in Reinhardt have decided to serve you!]

[Aslan has died!]

[The Eternal Kingdom has lost its anchor and has scattered!]

[The surviving nobles of the Eternal Kingdom hate you!]

Grid’s name was clearly stamped on the continent’s history .

***

“ . . . My son-in-law was right . ”

Marquis Steim .  Grid’s father-in-law and lord of the north, he watched the war between Overgeared and King Aslan from beginning to end .  He planted eyes and ears on every battlefield and observed .  It was in order to know the truth .  Did King Aslan really kill Prince Ren?

He wondered if his son-in-law had lied .  He had a duty to confirm it as a loyal subject of Eternal and Irene’s father .  Now he confirmed that his son-in-law was right . King Aslan really did kill Prince Ren . An unqualified person was on the throne .

“ . . . ”

Marquis Steim’s heart was complicated .  He was glad that his son-in-law hadn’t lied, but he felt sad about the things uncovered .  Well, this type of sentiment had no meaning at all .  He only had to make a decision . The Eternal KIngdom was scattered .

Should he help Grid who would be threatened from various places?

He wasn’t anxious . His choice was obvious .

"I will give the north to my son-in-law . ” 

He was protecting his son-in-law with the force that he and his ancestors had built up, then set up Grid as king . Marquis Steim summoned Knight Laden without hesitation in order to prepare his tribute .

“What? 60 million gold?”

The minimum conditions for establishing a kingdom was to have three cities, 100,000 people, and 60 million gold .  60 million gold .  It was a huge sum of money equivalent to 72 billion won . It was an amount that he couldn’t afford, even if Grid had started becoming one of the rich people of South Korea .

“This is crazy . . . Isn’t this robbing me?”

The damn S . A . Group! He was furious about the developers who didn’t care about economic principles and were forcing their users to spend gold .

Toban spoke to the furious Grid .  “It isn’t a burdensome amount . If the guild members combine their assets, then it’s easy to raise 60 million gold . . . ”

The top rankers of Satisfy were able to amass a huge amount of money, especially the Overgeared members who were in the top rankings .  As Toban said, it was possible for them to provide enough money to fund the kingdom . But Lauel refused .

"Grid, I recommended that you provide the funding alone .

“ . . . You want me to raise 60 million gold alone?”

Grid was shocked by the unexpected words .  Spending 72 billion won by himself? Grid didn’t have such a large sum of money, despite accumulating considerable assets through the National Competition, various broadcasts and advertisements .

"Hey, where will I gain such a huge amount of money? I’m not asking you to provide all of it, but isn’t a little bit fine? Eh? Just give me a little bit . Then I will pay it back with interest every time I receive the taxes .

"I am urging you to provide the funding alone, so that this situation doesn’t happen . ”

“ . . . ?”

"You will have all shares of the kingdom alone . ”

This was for the sake of Grid’s interests . It was for the future of Overgeared .
