Crackling.

On Christmas day, the faint sound of keyboard tapping rang out from the living room.

L Don't feed the Super Ranker.

L This guy thinks he's the king of heroes. Anegeokerkirk

L Still, after reading it without the limited express, it seems plausible, right? （Edited） （Deleted）

L Special, take your medicine and sleep

L Your mouth-opening skills are those of the King of Heroes r=c

L So, what is your ranking?

“No, these bastards who don’t know anything about the game.”

It wasn't a lie. The author who uses the nickname ‘Super Rank Com’ was none other than Kang Yu-seong.

There are several communities of players. And in this world, the player's performance brings money and fame, and it is a dangerous job in which even one's life cannot be easily guaranteed.

In other words, information such as rankers' strategies and tips can become valuable assets in and of themselves.

If you claim the name of the King of Heroes. These are literally top-notch strategies that can sweep up thousands of dollars in wealth. However, Yoosung wrote not specifically for money, and especially not for others.

In addition to hundreds of types of ‘skill cards' and artifact equipment, the task is to explain builds that are compatible with the monarch, assume all kinds of situations, and visualize them in your head.

Typically, the season ends at the end of the year when the season boss is conquered, and the next season arrives on January 1st without fail. The break is only a few weeks.

And those weeks were already coming to an end.

There is just one week left until Christmas Day.

For most high-level players, it was literally a momentary break, but for Yoosung, it was definitely not.

As a player who ran non-stop throughout the season, the process of looking back and organizing the journey of the year.

— Ugh!

It was around that time that my cell phone, which I had placed in the corner, rang. Yoosung paid no heed and looked at the monitor. Soon the sound stopped. The phone rang several times again, but nothing changed.

Boom boom!

Next, there was a knocking sound at the entrance to Yoosung’s apartment.

“Hey Yoosung! “I know everything is in there, so open this right now!”

I heard a man’s voice that I didn’t want to hear. Only then did Yooseong frown and slowly stand up.

“Wow, how did someone as shabby as the manager end up in such a precious place...”

Even though his name was not included in the top 10, what was there was one of the veteran players whose name is second only to the King of Heroes, at least in this country. It was.

Taesik Park, commonly known as Master Park.

One of the top 30 players who signed a contract with the Assassin Lord and is better known by his player nickname ‘Slaughter Sword（殺劍）. At the same time, the head of the National Intelligence Service directly under the Blue House.

The existence of players has changed many things in the world. And whatever life was like for them before, it was probably a good thing.

Furthermore, the espionage war taking place between players who wield supernatural powers. It went so far beyond conventional wisdom that even 007 couldn't even hand out a business card.

A changed world requires a changed way of doing things. Master Park was the best fit for this changed world.

“Uh-huh, this guy’s nose has become a bit high, so look at his stiff neck.”

Saying that, Master Park looked around Yoosung’s room. I shake my head when I see the disposable containers and Chinese delivery food scattered everywhere.

Who could think of the name of the ‘Hero King’ when looking at this pig pen that fills a small room of just a few pyeong?

“Hey you bastard. “How can you make a living selling King of Heroes t-shirts like a crazy person?”

“Please don’t call me by that nickname because it’s embarrassing.”

Looking at this little brat living a quiet life, he seems like a child of darkness. “Are you earning like a dog like that and then eating three meals a day at your local Chinese restaurant?”

“What’s wrong with the Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood? “The chadol jjamppong here is so good.”

“okay? Well then, let me try the amazing chadol jjamppong. “I added one Goryangju to two bowls of jjamppong gopbaegi.”

“Are you rushing to set up a table for ancestral rites somewhere? Are you going to eat it all?”

“No, I have a friend who will leave some soup and feed it to me through his nose.”

“...Your love for your friends is very deep.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders like it was no one else's business, picked up his phone, and opened the delivery app.

At first glance, these two people seemed to be tied together as ‘the two major players supporting the nation', but in reality, their contact went back long before the world became a game.

The PC room owner and the PC room's hottest gamer.

As a child, Yoosung spent more time in PC rooms than at school since he was in middle school, and in fact, Yoosung's gaming skills were already growing into a top-notch prospect. I wasn't specifically aiming to become a pro, and I just dabbled in games based on interest.

‘This kid is a genius at games.'

Therefore, it was also Park Tae-sik's will to convince Yoo-seong's parents of their child's gaming talent and volunteer to be his supervisor and back-up until 10 p.m. or later.

And on the day when Yoosung had just turned 18 and was about to officially debut as a professional, the whole world became a game.

《The End of Peace》.

“The son of the world’s hero king is an unemployed bastard who stays in his room and eats only Chinese food three times a day. Should I post this as an article and change it already? How are you, Yoosung?”

“Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me, so what’s the use of believing it?”

Yoosung shook his head and turned to the monitor.

“How did the manager, who is busier than him, come to such a precious place?”

“Hehe, I came because I wanted to see my baby’s face.”

Yooseong asked, and as he gulped down the Kaoliang wine, his face turned red and he laughed.

“Hey Yoosung. Who knew! Who would have thought that the owner of a PC room would suddenly become the head of an intelligence organization directly under the President, and that PC room guy would become a hero of heroes! “Hehe!”

“...Oh my gosh, this guy is drinking and being a brat again.”

“What are you drunk? Hey you stupid bastard. I take a child who has nowhere to go, feed him, put him to sleep, huh? Now, I have been ranked No. 1 in the world for all four seasons, and I can't help but think, ‘This is all thanks to Manager Park Tae-sik!' “I heard that saying a few words to a child is no use, even if you try to raise him/her to be an asshole.”

“Yes, this is all thanks to the manager.”

Saying that, Yooseong waved his arms in the empty air.

At the same time, something like a holographic window appeared and blocked his view. Master Park, whose face is bright red, cannot see it. This is his record that only the player can see.

- Name .〈Kang Yu-seong〉

- Title .〈King of Heroes〉〈Court Jester〉〈Monarch Assassin (New!)〉

- Level . 1

- Possessed protection -〈He who cheats death (Ex)〉 〈He who swallows time (Ex)〉〈He who rewrites fate (Ex)〉〈The one who turns the tables (Ex)〉〈He who sees the legend (Ex New) !) >〈Battle Foreknowledge (S)〉 〈Sword Sharpener (S New!) >〈Winter Bringer (SN#)〉... (See all) Current season rewards will be available at the start of the next season

. It is paid in a lump sum.

〈List of unclaimed compensation〉

. Random Equipment Ticket

. Skill card ticket of rare level or higher

. An artifact ticket of hero grade or higher

. Mythical Equipment 《Black Death）

Most of the specifications that filled the status window just a few days ago have disappeared.

This is because when one season ends and the next season begins, all levels, equipment, and skills are reset.

However, not everything that has been accumulated, including the favor of the monarch with whom the contract was made and the divine title, disappears.

Therefore, in the case of rankers within the top 10, they are human weapons themselves that far surpass ordinary people at the point immediately after reset. There is no need to even talk about the King of Heroes, who is said to be the pinnacle of players.

‘With this, everything that needs to be prepared has been completed.'

I ate as much as I could, and according to the contract, I received power in return. The more you get criticized, the longer you live. This is probably what they mean.

All that remains is to live up to their expectations as a hero. It wasn't that important whether Yooseong wanted it or not.

It was right then.

“Whoa whoa whoa whoa! My PC Bar, my RTX 3000 Ultra!! “Hey, how much does this graphics card cost, you damn monsters?”

Master Park, whose face was now red and lying face down, was muttering in his sleep. Hearing those words, Yoosung also burst out laughing.

“Oh my, Manager. “Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep.”

“Hehe, as expected, you bastard. You are the only one like this.”

Yoosung laughed bitterly at Master Park's sleep-talking and grabbed a blanket from the corner of the room to cover him.

Peace ended that day. Yoo-seong's parents died, and Master Park's PC room and the highest-end graphics card he boasted, the RTX 3000 Ultra, were all destroyed.

A strange being that seemed to only appear in legends came out of the tower and walked the streets, and everyone had no doubt that the end of the world was approaching.

Monsters were roaming around and the city was burning to ashes.

Screams echoing from all directions, blood splattered on the streets, burning and collapsing streets.

Just then a player appeared.

No one thought that a pot-bellied Internet cafe owner would sign a contract with an assassin lord and become a hero who would protect the world.

Nevertheless, Park Tae-sik's performance was the first and last heroic performance that Yoo Seong remembers.

And the following year, after the season of “King of Heroes” began, a monarch reached out to Yoo Seong.

A player cannot be anyone. In order to become a player, you have to make a contract with a ‘lord’.

Just as Park Tae-sik made a contract with the monarch and protected Yu-seong, Yoo-seong also had an opportunity to obtain the power of a player.

Furthermore, that being was a being that was so special and powerful that even one could not imagine a monarch, and had power beyond the standard.

— A child with a thousand faces and a thousand talents. Do you want to be a hero?

Yoosung nodded, and in response, the ‘clown monarch' finally burst into laughter.

— You will become a hero among heroes. However, for the rest of your life, you will not be understood by everyone and will become the subject of their laughter and ridicule! Where else could you replace such a funny joke?

After hearing that, Yoosung did not hesitate at all.

It was an old story that now makes me want to pull over my blanket every time I think about it.

Because there is no such thing as a hero in this world, and the player was never a hero.
