5.
As Michael had announced, the afternoon broadcast proceeded for 3 hours and was able to finish successfully.
After finishing the first day's broadcast like that, everyone's records were starkly recorded on the Abyss Ranking.
[Abyss Ranking]
[1st Place - Michael Party : 89th Floor]
[2nd Place - Demon King Backup Team 1 Luna Party : 87th Floor]
[Joint 3rd Place - Demon King Backup Team 2 Kyou Party : 86th Floor]
[Joint 3rd Place - Demon King Backup Team 3 Embris Party : 86th Floor]
[5th Place - Cheongwi Party : 79th Floor]
The Michael Party, which Seonghyun was in, cleared right up to the 90th floor.
And closely chasing behind them, the Luna Party cleared the 87th floor.
Kyou and the Embris Party cleared the 86th floor.
Because it was after the broadcast ended successfully, there was a huge uproar domestically and internationally.
First of all, the tremendous skill of Seonghyun, called the Demon King, and the fact that the Demon King's backup parties were also on the level of most other guilds' 1st-string teams couldn't help but spread widely.
[Title - Is the Demon King's backup party for real?]
[Author - Town Summoner]
『No, why are they doing a backup party with that kind of skill???
From what I can see, they could probably eat up most 1st-string teams.......
Honestly, it seems even Rapid's 1st-string team can't compare to the backup team.......
Isn't that the case just looking at skill???』
[Auto Hunt Addict : I think so too. Honestly, they seem stronger than the 1st-string???]
└[Town Summoner (Author) : Right????]
└[Only Looking At Regen : Does the 1st-string look like a joke to you?????]
└[Town Summoner (Author) : Didn't you watch the live??? If you watched it, the story would be different;;;]
└[Only Looking At Regen : What was there????]
└[Dungeon Silence : Please;;;;; watch it before acting up;;;;]
[Sword-Wielding Mage : Honestly, I admit they would chew up the 1st-string. In the first place, each team has an Almighty rank team leader and three Legendary rank team members, so of course they chew up the 1st-string;;;;]
└[Only Looking At Regen : For real??? The team leader has an Almighty job and the team members are all Legendary????]
└[Town Summoner (Author) : Yeah, have you only lived being deceived?]
Previously, there was a tendency to overestimate Seonghyun alone, but now it was different.
Because the backup teams showed such an outstanding presence.
Naturally, they had no choice but to compare them with other 1st-string teams.
As a result, naturally, the value of the backup teams, including Seonghyun, had no choice but to rise day by day.
Currently, the floor bosses, which could be called the bosses of the Abyss, were showing a presence of at least Hidden Raid Boss rank, and breaking through them with a mere 4-person party made no sense from the start.
Because of that, their value had no choice but to gradually increase.
Eventually.
[Title - Rapid is no joke;;;]
[Author - Fist Healer]
『Right now, it seems just the combined combat power of the Demon King + backup teams could wipe out a large guild???
It seems the guys saying the Demon King is overhyped have noticeably increased, but.......
It seems they are blinded by jealousy just looking at the Demon King's appearance.
Honestly, do they still not get a feel for it even after watching the Silverrain war this time???
No, considering he caught a World Raid Boss alone in the first place, his presence is tremendous, so I don't know why they are dragging him down so much yeah yeah yeah
He is a truly incredible person who could beat Yuna within Korea.
Honestly, it's something that could even catch the 1st place Single Ranker, so why downplay him so much???』
[Bare Body Tanker : Simply because he is handsome......]
[AoE Damage Tanker : Because he is handsome......]
[Mage Taunt : Tsk, I am jealous though......]
[Alchemy Martial Artist : No, shouldn't handsome bastards be banned from playing games???? F*ck it really feels like absolute sh*t]
└[Assassination Blacksmith : You have a lot of anger;;;;]
└[Helmetless Tank : Honestly I'm angry too lololol]
└[Assassination Blacksmith : Agreed. Actually me too.]
└[Archer Without Arrows : Don't say anything bad about our oppa!!!]
└[Summoner Without Summons : lolololol Now the Demon King's fangirls will increase...... But I admit, even as a man I feel like I'd fall for him, he is freaking cool]
└[Healer Death : Like that he turns ga......]
Posts that had ignored Seonghyun until now gradually began to disappear.
Even up until recently, it could be seen that Seonghyun was quite ignored compared to the majesty he showed, but.
Now, stories were going back and forth on a similar level to Single Rankers.
This was not something happening only in Korea or the East Asia region.
He was gradually spreading his fame to people all over the world who loved Eternal World.
Of course, Seonghyun rarely felt the weight of that fame.
Because there was no one around him particularly telling him about it.
However, it was a little different now.
6.
“Uh?! A-Are you perhaps the Demon King?”
“Excuse me???”
Seonghyun rarely got surprised, flustered, or panicked, but he couldn't help but be surprised at this.
Honestly, isn't that a line you wouldn't expect to hear in reality?
Seonghyun, who came out with Lee Geondong to eat dinner, looked at the woman with a bewildered expression.
He looked wondering if she was a crazy person, but although she looked a bit excited and thrilled, she had a neat appearance that didn't look like a crazy person.
However.
At that heterogeneous question asking 'Are you the Demon King?', Seonghyun blinked his eyes and looked at the woman who approached him.
At Seonghyun's appearance blinking his eyes as if asking what she meant.
The woman who approached let out a very satisfied scream.
“Kya!! You are, right!? Rapid's Demon King!?”
“Yes? Ah…… that is correct…….”
At Seonghyun's words, the woman became even more excited, and the woman's companions, far from stopping her, were rather startled and started making a fuss.
“Wow crazy!!!”
“I-I'm seeing a celebrity for the first time!!!”
“Wow!! Demon King!!! I'm a fan!!”
Watching the woman's companions making such a fuss, Seonghyun slightly bowed his head with a bewildered expression and accepted their greetings.
“Th-Thank you.”
As Seonghyun was so bewildered.
Beside him, Lee Geondong slipped a word.
“Hey hey, let's get out of here.”
“Yeah.”
Thinking it looked better to do so, just as they were about to leave the spot.
“C-Could you perhaps take a picture with us???”
At the woman's seemingly quite desperate words, Seonghyun looked at Lee Geondong wondering what to do.
Since it was Lee Geondong's first time experiencing something like this too, he blinked his eyes.
He wondered who he was to take pictures, but.
He also wondered who he was to refuse taking them, so in his bewilderment, Seonghyun nodded his head.
“Yes. Sure.”
“Kyaaa! Thank you!!!”
“P-Please take one with us too!!!”
“M-Me too!”
Not just the woman, but the woman's companions, including the men, said so, and Seonghyun nodded his head without realizing it.
Like that, he somehow ended up taking pictures for people on the street.
A few people started whispering watching that.
It was understandable.
Since people were asking to take pictures and squealing with joy.
Naturally, it couldn't help but draw attention.
“What??? A celebrity???”
“Uh!? I-It's the Demon King.”
“Demon King?”
Although people who didn't play Eternal World were rare, they definitely existed, so as they tilted their heads at the title they were hearing for the first time.
The people next to them informed them.
“He is a really famous person in Eternal World. Wow, he is freaking handsome in real life too? No, he looks exactly the same???”
“Wow, he really is handsome. Is he someone famous for his face?”
“No, for his skill.”
“????With that face???”
“Exactly!”
Hearing the person who answered say that with slight irritation, he even had the thought that the world really is unfair.
As it looked like people were gradually starting to crowd around.
Seonghyun looked at Lee Geondong and said.
“Hey, let's get out of here quickly.”
“Y-Yeah.”
As gazes gathered on Seonghyun one by one like that, thinking they wouldn't be able to eat at this rate, they quickly left the spot.
The somewhat fortunate thing was.
“……S-Still, it's a relief we dressed up since we were coming out to the street for dinner.”
“……Tell me about it.”
Seonghyun had no choice but to agree with Lee Geondong's words.
Since the first day's live broadcast ended successfully, they came out to celebrate together with Ahn Yoojin and Ahn Yubin as a commemoration, but to think they would draw this much attention.
Since neither of them knew, Seonghyun had no choice but to roughly buy a hat and mask sold on the street and wear them.
He knew a few people would recognize him since he revealed his face, but.
He never imagined it would be this fast.
Well, think about it.
Even just today, no matter how high the ratio of foreigners was, nearly 50 million viewers had appreciated Seonghyun's face.
Furthermore, he wasn't just famously known as Seonghyun, but as Rapid's Demon King, a celebrity anyone who played Eternal World had heard of at least once.
That ripple effect was tremendous.
“Wow…… to think it would be to this extent…….”
“Tell me about it.”
At Lee Geondong's words, Seonghyun also muttered as if troubled.
Well, still, with a hat on and his face covered.
There was definitely no one who recognized him.
Partly because his face was fully covered, but also because it was just the first day of his face reveal.
There weren't that many people who could recognize him through this level of covering.
Around the time Seonghyun was feeling troubled like that.
Seeing a considerable crowd gathered at the place they agreed to meet, Seonghyun and Lee Geondong went that way with a 'no way' thought, and sure enough.
“Wow!!! It's Luna!!!”
“Crazy, the Demon King backup team? That Luna???”
“Wow she is super pretty in real life too!?”
“E-Excuse me, but c-could you please step aside???”
Luna, no, Ahn Yubin also had quite a lot of people recognizing her, so she was expressing her perplexity, but.
When Ahn Yubin asked them to step aside, they did obediently make way.
Even so, although it felt like meeting a celebrity, order seemed to be maintained quite well.
Watching them in distress, Seonghyun and Lee Geondong quickly bought hats and masks, brought Ahn Yoojin and Ahn Yubin out while putting the hats and masks on them, and as Seonghyun dodged this way and that to lose the people, there was no one following them anymore.
As they brought the two out like that.
“Phew, what in the world is going on???”
“Oh my, I didn't know it would be to this extent…….”
“Tell me about it.”
“Still, it's a relief there were no overbearing people.”
It was truly a great relief.
Seonghyun had escaped before people crowded around, and for Ahn Yoojin and Ahn Yubin, it happened while they were waiting.
If an overbearing person had appeared, it would have been quite troublesome.
Seonghyun definitely put on a troubled expression looking at them.
He wondered if he shouldn't have revealed his face, but well, nothing major had happened yet.
“Still, having people recognize me is a bit embarrassing but also makes me feel proud.”
As Seonghyun said so, perhaps Ahn Yubin had similar feelings as she nodded her head.
Still, it being annoying couldn't be helped.
Come to think of it, he figured that was why Yoo Mina also went around with her face covered.
However, Ahn Yubin and Seonghyun had been openly revealed without any of that.
He wondered what to do from now on, but.
“Let's go eat for now.”
Since acting like this here wouldn't particularly solve anything anyway.
Everyone nodded at Lee Geondong's words and answered.
“Sounds good. Let's go eat.”
“Sounds good.”
“Great.”
Everyone answered like that and headed to the famous restaurant introduced by Lee Geondong this time as well.
Naturally, while wearing masks and hats.
Fortunately, just doing this much made the people recognizing them disappear, so they could move comfortably.
