《Ranker's Return》Chapter 632
Advertisement
Hyeonu’s first stream ended with a strong aftermath. There were many Arena streamers in A-World. Of course, many of them held such events. However, no one was constantly doing events with as many items as rewards as Hyeonu.
“Isn’t this unreasonable?” Reina asked him with a slightly worried expression. She had also seen Hyeonu’s real-time streaming. The event was obviously huge. Of course, it wasn’t to an extent where it would bring a burden to Hyeonu.
Reina knew that Hyeonu made a huge amount of money. She didn’t know the exact amount, but she knew that his income was incomparable to her income. Nevertheless, giving out rare items like this was very difficult and separate from money. No matter how much money Hyeonu had, it was crazy to give 10 rare items every week.
‘He isn’t even a philanthropist...’
Hyeonu just smiled deeply at Reina’s worries.
“You don’t have to worry. I have many rare items.”
Hyeonu didn’t offer rare items as gifts for nothing. There were enough items in his warehouse that he could give out items for months. Some rare items were great enough for rankers to rush in with bright eyes.
‘I’ll do that later...’
However, it wouldn’t be given right now. He would wait until the overall level of the players rose. He would give out the items at that time.
“It isn’t a loss. As my A-World channel grows in subscribers and the streaming supporters grow... in a way, I’m benefiting tremendously.”
Hyeonu didn’t think of this event as a loss at all. Rather, the rapidly growing number of channel subscribers and video views in A-World would benefit Hyeonu. His value as a streamer was skyrocketing. Hyeonu had already climbed up and it seemed like he had no place to climb anymore. Yet it was climbing further. He completely suppressed others in an overwhelming manner and nailed the top spot.
“Now I am a streamer. For streamers, interest is life. This is a good thing.”
Reina nodded at Hyeonu’s words. She realized it once again at this moment. Now Hyeonu’s job wasn’t a professional gamer, but a streamer.
“Yes. Then I’ll help you as well. I’ve only received things from you so far. I will pick and send you some rare items I don’t use.” Reina wanted to help Hyeonu even a little bit more.
“Thank you, Reina.”
Hyeonu didn’t refuse Reina’s help. He readily accepted it. There was no reason to refuse this type of help. He had to receive it when he could receive it.
‘It isn’t help, but a gift.’
It was a gift like Hyeonu himself gave out.
“By the way, are you tired? There were quite a few battles...” Hyeonu suddenly asked with a worried expression. Hyeonu had no idea how Reina had been hunting before. The certain thing was that Hyeonu’s hunting was very different from other players. The time to hunt was long and very frequent.

“It’s okay. Rather, it is good? My strength seems to be improving...”
Unlike these concerns, Reina liked Hyeonu’s way of hunting. She didn’t feel bored or tired.
‘It is the first time I knew that I could level up so quickly.’
Recently, Reina’s level up speed had been tremendously fast. It was natural since the hunting speed was fast and there were few people to share the experience with. This didn’t mean her skill proficiency was slow to increase. Her skill proficiency was also rising at a terrifying rate.
“It is all thanks to Hyeonu.”
Hyeonu was the reason for her rapid rise in skill proficiency. Hyeonu pointed out Reina’s shortcomings every time a battle was over.
“How is that thanks to me? It is due to your talent.”
Hyeonu shook his head. All he did was say a few words and give a few demonstrations. It was Reina’s talent that absorbed it.
“I can give advice to anyone, but there are few people who can put it into action. In that respect, Reina is a very talented person.”
Reina’s face turned red at Hyeonu’s continued compliments. Hyeonu didn’t care about Reina and continued saying what he had to say.
“So let’s work harder. What skills will you practice this time?”
Hyeonu was thinking about taking a further look at Reina’s skills. This wasn’t an option, but essential. The more Reina played a role in the upcoming battles, the more comfortable Hyeonu would be.
‘In any case, there is time...’
It was better to do something than to waste time while traveling.
“I’m more curious about how to use magic power than the skills.”
Reina was now wondering how to harness the fundamental magic power rather than how to use her skills.
“There is nothing to say about that... you just have to practice a lot."
This time, Hyeonu had no advice to do it correctly. Dealing with magic power was up to an individual’s senses. It might be different if the person couldn’t handle it at all, but he didn’t have anything to add for players of Reina’s level.
“Then Hyeonu, how do you handle magic power so well?” Reina asked with a very curious expression.
“Master dude is just good. No matter what he learns, he can do it right away. Master dude is great.”
The answer came from Tang-E, not Hyeonu.
“Huh? What does that mean?”
Reina lifted Tang-E in her arms and made eye contact with him.
“Master dude can do it right away as long as someone teaches him. He is truly a monster, a monster.”
Tang-E stuck out his tongue at Hyeonu. It was a playful expression. Hyeonu smiled when he saw it.

“If I have to give one tip... it is imagination.”
“Imagination?” Reina asked after hearing Hyeonu’s words. The words were unexpected. It was imagination.
‘How can that help?’
Reina played a close combat class and imagination wasn’t something she thought much of. Those who needed to be imaginative were usually magicians. They were those who controlled magic power to achieve magic.
“Yes, imagination. In any case, everything in Arena is imaginary. I can never move so quickly and strongly in reality. There is also no magic power. Meanwhile, Arena is different. That is especially true of magic power.”
Hyeonu reached out his hand. Around Hyeonu’s hand, a gauntlet made of purple magic power formed. Then Hyeonu made a fist-clenching gesture and a short dagger appeared in his hand.
“It isn’t just about moving magic power. Of course, you can make it like that. It will just take a long time.”
Hyeonu stirred his hand and the dagger scattered like a collapsed sandcastle. Then the vanished dagger reappeared. It was at a slower pace than the first time it appeared.
“Draw it strongly in your head or in your heart, Reina. It is easier than ever to control magic power while imagining a clear shape.”
Hyeonu threw the dagger with just a snap of his wrist. The dagger flew through the space at once.
Boom!
A huge vibration occurred from the area where the dagger was embedded. It wasn't just vibrations. Something burst and blue blood flew through the air.
[The low-grade demonic creature, the helmas, has been killed.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
Reina knew it without even looking. The demonic creature hiding somewhere was dead.
“There is nothing else I can teach you. This is what I have learned recently...”
“No, thank you for this alone. Where else can I learn this?”
Reina’s words were sincere. The imagination that Hyeonu told her about was a secret that she had never heard anywhere else. It was likely to be a secret that only Hyeonu knew.
Hyeonu continued to speak to Reina, “It also might sound like bragging, but I originally played games well. I’ve been playing them for over 10 years since primary school. I’ve never missed being a ranker in every game I played since middle school. I think I’ve played all the fighting games and RPGs.”
It wasn’t impossible. Virtual reality games were hugely labor-intensive and money consuming. Only one or two games were revealed a year.
‘He has been doing well since a young age?’
Reina’s eyes widened at Hyeonu’s explanation. He had touched all the games. It was also to the ranker level.
“Have you played Horus Saga?” Reina spoke the name of a virtual reality game she played in the past.
Horus Sage was a role playing game similar to Arena.
“Of course. I was a high school student at the time... I remember not going to school and playing with Yeongchan. My ID... was it Nutt?”
Hyeonu searched through his memories. It was because he couldn't remember the ID he used in Horus Saga.
“Nutt?”
Reina was once again amazed when she heard Hyeonu’s character name. Nutt—it was a name that everyone who played Horus Saga knew. It was because he was the protagonist of one of the biggest events in Horus Saga: the destruction of the Zeus Guild.
“The Nutt that dismantled the Zeus Guild?”
“Yes, something like that happened.”
At Hyeonu’s easygoing answer, Reina asked a question with an excited expression. It was something everyone who played Horus Saga was curious about.
“Why did you fight the Zeus Guild?” Reina's question was eager at first glance. It was because all the parties involved shut their mouths. No matter how many times the players of the Zeus Guild were questioned, they didn’t explain why they went to war with Hyeonu/Nutt and why the guild was ruined.
“I don’t like joining guilds, but they kept on asking me to join. Later, they tried to chase and kill me. So I went looking for them and kept killing them...”
“Is that possible?”
Hyeonu made it seem very easy, but in fact, it didn’t make sense. An individual killing a large guild. The Zeus Guild also wasn’t an ordinary large guild. If it was Arena, they would be at least in Kowloon’s position. Hyeonu destroyed such a Kowloon in a short period of time.
“Why isn’t it possible?” Hyeonu asked back. It was difficult but not impossible to ruin a large guild with a single person.
“I am alone and I have nothing to lose. They are different, right? Reina, people with many things to keep have a lot of weaknesses. Additionally... Horus Saga was a game where one death was very painful.”
Reina was roughly informed about how Hyeonu brought down the Zeus Guild. In Horus Sage, a PvP death would cause the player to randomly drop one of their equipped items. The damage was great even if rankers died only a few times.
“Then Xenon World?”
“I also played that. My character’s name... Clough, it was Clough.”
“What about Muryeong’s War Records?”
“I think I was called Monster Sword there...”
Reina’s expression became more astonished as she got to know Hyeonu’s history. Every name that came from Hyeonu’s mouth was really famous in those games.
‘They are all the same person...’
