Chapter 234 (1/2)

The screen was white. It was due to the waterfall made of light. The light was in the shape of an arrow. All the Sudden Force Guild members within range had to die as they watched the stars falling from the sky.

-Amazing! The power of the Icarus Guild is amazing!

-It is a perfect connection! Eun Jeonghyeok had been hiding his must-kill skill!

-It’s so beautiful. A baptism of really beautiful light! It feels like I’m going blind!

Indeed, the commentators said that the waterfall-like arrows of light had the additional ‘blindness’ effect. As a result, the Sudden Force members died from the light falling from the sky without knowing the location of the enemy. All the enemies disappeared and endless shouts erupted from the audience. It was like the Korea-Japan World Cup held in 2002.

-Ahh, Eun Jeonghyeok has fallen to one knee due to magic power exhaustion.

-He seems to have poured out all his remaining magic power.

-It is still great. He played really well today.

-I think the judges have definitely seen Eun Jeonghyeok. I will cautiously predict that this will make it easy for him to be selected as a Korean representative player.

However, this judgment might’ve been too hasty. There was a gunshot and the kneeling Eun Jeonghyeok was hit in the heart and fell forward.

-Ahh! What’s going on? The game hasn’t ended yet!

-There is one more member of the Sudden Force Guild. A player has secretly ambushed him!

-It is really a shame. Still, his performance was really refreshing and exciting.

-That’s right. If you had to ask me about the most prominent player in today’s selection, I would say Player Eun Jeonghyeok.

-Oh, Player Eun Jeonghyeok’s capsule is opening. In the end, he died. He seemed to have been caught off guard by the way he smiled and shook his head.

-Smiling in this situation is very impressive.

The audience applauded him.

Clap clap clap!

They didn’t spare their praise for Eun Jeonghyeok, who struggled hard. They also didn’t forget to clap for Mido, who fought hard despite dropping out a bit earlier. Today, the Icarus Guild fought to the best of their ability. For some reason, I felt proud and a sense of belonging. I only just joined it, but I was also a member of Icarus.

“It is more interesting than I thought? The World Competition.’

Park Muyeol, who was sitting to my right, was intrigued. My daughter-in-law saw it and spoke to him, “Our Mido was very disappointed. It would’ve been very helpful if you participated. I am sorry as well. I really wanted to see you fighting... Oh, I’m also a fan. Hoho.”

Kim Mikyung laughed shyly while covering her mouth like she was embarrassed.

“Kuhaha! Do you want my signature?”

“Can you please? I will treasure it as the treasure of the family.”

Kim Mikyung and Park Muyeol laughed with each other.

I grumbled at Park Muyeol with an expression of dissatisfaction. “What treasure of the family? It is an honor just to have your name mentioned a few times.”

“Oh my, Father, don’t you know? You are a spy if you don’t know the name ‘Park Muyeol’ that has been on TV these days.”

“Then I’m a spy?”

“Hoho. Father, really. That’s not what I meant.”

I felt strangely jealous as I crossed my arms. It was strange that he was more popular than me. It was the same with my daughter-in-law and Mido. I wasn’t happy. Just then, the commentators’ cries were heard.

-The game is over! With this, the finals of the Arkstar Korean national team selection has ended!

* * *

Two days passed after the selection was completed. I was spending my days as usual. Every morning, I went out to exercise and I didn’t neglect to level up. Therefore, today I decided to eat with my family for the first time in ages. It was because Mido received a call that she had been chosen as a national representative of Arkstar. She was narrowly chosen as the ninth starter. Apparently, Eun Jeonghyeok was the first starter and Kim Hyeonu was eighth.

Meanwhile, Park Taehyeon wasn’t selected so he drank alcohol.

“Congratulations, Mido.”

“Our daughter, well done~!”

“Hmm. I’m jealous. Congratulations, Noona.”

I was now at home celebrating Mido’s selection. Choi Jeonghyun, Kim Mikyung, and Choi Jeongdo congratulated Mido in turn. Now it was my turn. I didn’t speak for long. Sometimes it was better to show things in action than words. “Cough. Well done. Bbyong bbyong ♡”

Mido laughed as I made finger hearts with both hands. “Hahaha!”

The family members also burst out laughing. My face burned red and I coughed a few times. Then I hurriedly lit the candles on the cake in front of me. Mido continued to laugh like it was funny.

“Stop laughing and blow it out.”

“Pfft. Grandfather. Really... Kuhuhu. Thank you. Hoooo..”

Mido blew out all the candles. The family clapped and celebrated her being selected for the national team. The party lasted for 30 minutes. I had now already entered the world of the game. The place I was standing at now was my own space, the lord’s office. The good thing about becoming a lord was that I could move through space to the lord’s residence once a day.

I flew from Vulcan lava field to Metheus in an instant and I could always return to the lava zone due to the designated return stone Aren had given me. I opened the information window of Metheus after a long time.
