Hyeonu and Yeongchan were watching television on the couch for the first time in a while. They both held a bucket of popcorn and candy in their arms.
“Kyah! It is that type of movement.” Hyeonu watched the video and marveled at it. The movement of the man in the video was beyond admiration.
“Are you admiring yourself?”
The video that Hyeonu and Yeongchan were watching was Hyeonu’s second streaming video. He was watching the video for confirmation before sending an email to Ellis.
Hyeon replied to Yeongchan, “It isn’t because I’m the protagonist. The sound just comes out when seeing it. No?”
“Yes, your skin is thick. I shouldn’t talk.”
“Well, there isn’t much to say. Do you want to just send it?”
“Just cut the part about killing the desert dragon and show only that.”
Hyeonu thought about it and decided to follow Yeongchan’s words. Yeongchan had a sharp side when it came to Hyeonu’s career.
“I think this is good.” Hyeonu captured a scene from the video. It was the moment when the unique item’s options came out. “I should put it on Arena’s community and show it off.”

Once Hyeonu returned to Lipa Castle, he encountered a baffling sight. The castle that should be empty was crowded with players.
“What is going on?”
The increase in players at Lipa Castle was due to Hyeonu. During his talk with the viewers, Hyeonu had unintentionally revealed the location of the dungeon.
“Is this the right place? Alley Leader’s video was shot here.”
“That’s why we are going to hunt lizards now.”
“Can we see that desert dragon?”
“It has already been two days, but we still haven’t seen it.”
“It is too bad. I wanted to see it for myself.”
In other words, most of the players came here to hunt the desert lizard Hyeonu showed in his live stream. Of course, there were those who were different. There were a few who were looking for Hyeonu. They were hyenas attracted to fame. It was the emergence of the ‘people who follow attention’.
Of course, it was unlikely they would recognize Hyeonu’s face. Hyeonu hadn’t worn a mask in his earlier videos, but Ellis’ efforts meant his face hadn’t been revealed yet. Arena itself had a mosaic function. However, Ellis didn’t use it because it hurt his image. The recent videos naturally had him wearing a mask, so there was no way to recognize him.
Despite this, the Jaguar set Hyeonu was wearing wasn’t obscured. The attention followers aimed at this point. They searched for a player wearing a Black Jaguar set at Lipa Castle. This method was very efficient.
“Hey! Isn’t that Alley Leader?”
Hyeonu heard someone call out to him, but he ignored it. He instinctively felt that he wasn’t being called for a good reason.
‘It must be for no good reason.’
The owner of the voice grabbed Hyeonu’s shoulder. “You should answer when someone is calling you!”
Hyeonu grabbed the hand holding his shoulder.
“Don’t be loud and get lost,” cold words emerged from Hyeonu’s mouth. He didn’t have time to waste on them. He had to clear the quest he received from the emperor. He had to level up.
“Are you not seeing anything else now that you’re doing well?”
Two more men appeared behind the first one, who seemed to trust both of them.
“So what do you want?” Hyeonu was annoyed but he suppressed it. He couldn’t kill them for no reason. It was a penalty he received for being more famous than them.
“We just want to duel with you.”
“Duel?”
“That’s right.”
Hyeonu laughed bitterly. Their behavior was too similar. He wanted to hit them.
“Why? Do you want to have a duel with a character deletion bet? Are you going to stick to it? Or maybe we should just do PK.” Hyeonu stared at the three of them.
He was saying with his eyes, ‘I am making the bet. Now it is your turn.’
The three men hesitated. It was clear they were weighing the value of their characters against the fame they would gain from defeating Alley Leader. At this moment, some words flowed out of Hyeonu’s mouth and drove a wedge in their decision. “Scared? If you’re scared, f**k off.”
“Who is scared? We will do it. Stick to the character deletion bet!”
The prey bit the bait.
‘It makes me feel how wrong it is to fish. It is heartbreaking.’
A bright smile appeared on Hyeonu’s face.

Hyeonu and the three hyenas changed their location. There was no place for dueling at the castle. So, they headed to a place near Lipa Castle where there were no people.
“So what are the rules?” Hyeonu asked the three of them. “Captain battle? Team battle? Or do it one by one?”
“Let’s go with a captain battle.” The hyenas decided on the rule without even discussing the situation.
“Really? Then don’t drag out the time and proceed quickly. I’m too busy.”
The hyenas quickly applied for a duel. They thought they could beat Hyeonu, otherwise they wouldn’t have applied for a duel.
[Player ‘Lechi’ has applied for a duel.]
[Would you like to accept?]
“Of course.”
[Yes.]
“Then I will set the rules.”
[The rules set are ‘winner-takes-all’, ‘delete character’, and ‘captain battle’.]
“The rules are winner-takes-all, deletion character, and captain battle, as stated. Are there any objections?”
[Would you like to accept?]
Lechi, the representative of the hyenas, nodded. It meant to proceed with the duel.
[Yes.]
[Please determine who will participate in the duel.]
“Me alone.”
“Lechi, Ges, Dira.”
[The number of participants who will participate in the duel has been determined.]
[Gang Hyeonu VS Lechi, Ges, Dira]
