Overgeared

[The rain of battle gears that appeared in Grid’s fourth epic?]

[TV broadcasters and streamers from all countries are desperately contacting owners of Grid’s battle gears.]

[Grid’s epic mentions a myth... has a player become a god?]

[(Column) The difference between the legendary and myth ratings that can be discovered through quest items.]

[’Make the scene of writing Grid’s epic public!’ Hundreds of public organizations around the world are urging the S.A Group.]

『 Grid’s fourth epic is causing an unusual ripple. There is a fierce conflict between those who claim that not disclosing Grid’s epics, which have a direct influence on the world view, is violating a player’s right to know and those who claim that Grid’s epics are his private life. 』

The world forgot about the National Competition. Even those who had been waiting for the National Competition throughout the year could only focus on Grid’s epic. It meant the celebration of billions of people had been buried by Grid’s one action.

Hundreds of companies participating as sponsors of this year’s National Competition cursed. If the popularity of the National Competition wasn’t strong enough then the publicity effect of the companies would also decrease. This led to a flurry of concerns among them. However, there was one exception...

“Huhu, the largest companies in the world are going to lose money because of my son-in-law.”

It was the Daejin Group. Unlike other companies, Yura’s company enjoyed the Grid special. Since Grid was the group’s promotional model and there was the perception that Grid was a family member, there was an upward synergistic effect every time Grid was mentioned.

“Um, let’s see...”

Chairman Lee Jinmyung logged into WikiXDia and gazed at Grid’s image in a pleased manner. He searched for Grid, revisited the contents of the Daejin Group which was linked and muttered, “I’m riding on the coattails of my grandchild.”

Now Chairman Lee Jinmyung was Yura’s most ardent supporter. He didn’t hesitate to provide all sorts of support to improve Yura’s gaming environment so Yura’s growth rate was at its highest level ever. Even without Grid, South Korea would play an active part in the National Competition this year...

Lee Jinmyung didn’t doubt it.

The Eregia Underground Water Dungeon was one of the hardest instance dungeons. It wasn’t possible for high ranking players to target it unless there were at least three people in the party. There...

[Your level has risen.]

[You have defeated all the monsters in the dungeon by yourself.]

[Something special will happen when you achieve the Sword Saint hidden piece ‘Beginning of Endless Asceticism’!]

Kraugel alone completely conquered it. He quietly closed his eyes as he blocked the bamboo spears fired from the stinking rats with foresight and Control Sword, easily killing the monsters who were called the king of the underground. He wasn’t impressed by his accomplishments. This level of achievement didn’t give him any inspiration.

‘...Duke of Virtue.’

Kraugel closed his eyes and recalled the epic scene. That’s right—Kraugel witnessed the epic scene. No, he experienced it. He shared the vision of the White Tiger Sword he lent to Grid and became one of the rain of weapons from the sky. He saw the fear projected in the eyes of the one dreaming of becoming a god.

Chill. Kraugel got goosebumps. He persevered as he endured the pain engraved on his soul every time a weapon was broken and saw the appearance of Grid overwhelming the yangban. He felt something that was beyond a thrill. He saw the future of Grid, who became a god. He knew it was an immutable future.

Kraugel realized the path he had to pursue. A sword that could cut a god.
