Chapter 69
I Did It All (1)
1.
We did it.
Honestly, I didn’t think it would end this easily, but one way or another — we won.
“Anyone dead? If so, speak up.”
I looked around at the raid members with a smile.
The knight commander was dead — his neck snapped a full 180 degrees.
Judging by the “Boss Cleared” message, he was definitely gone.
When the boss died, the darkness that had been covering this area disappeared too.
The tri-colored fields we’d first entered into reappeared, and the raiders were just standing there, staring at me blankly.
“No one dead? No one? Okay then.”
(Info) The dead usually don’t talk.
LOLLLLLL
S-rank difficulty? Bruh, that was nothing.
He actually cleared it like this?
Was this even the “right” way to clear it?
Who cares how, he cleared it.
Dae. Te. O.
Dae. Me. God.
The GOAT of Korean history.
Dae. Me. G.O.A.T.
The chat was scrolling too fast to even read.
We’d passed 100,000 viewers ages ago — at this point, the number didn’t matter.
Today would be the peak anyway.
Starting next stream, it’ll just be grind and climb again, so this kind of hype won’t last.
But who cares?
What matters is now.
“We won!”
The rewards could wait.
This moment was what mattered.
Clearing an S-rank, Floor 3 Raid — what could possibly top that?
When I raised my hand, the raiders finally snapped out of it and began to cheer, throwing up their weapons.
“WAAAAAAAH!”
“We’re alive!”
“AAAAAAHHHH!”
The ones who’d been trembling in fear of death finally dropped their burdens.
Their joy wasn’t from rewards — it was the sheer relief of surviving.
Still, it was lucky I managed to snap that neck so cleanly in the end.
And just as I thought — Kurogane Tatsuya’s sword was excellent.
If he hadn’t sliced that opening, I couldn’t have turned that head all the way around.
“Kurogane Tatsuya!”
I called out to him cheerfully.
He’d worked hard as a special ops member, and even helped with the final blow.
He’d earned that “Sub-Raid Leader” title.
We’d just survived a battle that could’ve gone horribly wrong — time for a manly hug—
“Se-sensei!”
“What? I don’t like guys. I’m just talking a light celebratory hug here.”
“Jo–jotto matte… Jotto ma…”
Hmm?
Do I smell bad or something?
When I glanced down to sniff my own arm, I finally realized why Kurogane was trembling.
FWOOSH—!!
LOLLLLLLLLLL
The Meteor Martyr’s Flames of Liberation
LOL what is even happening
Has he lost it??
The raid’s over, WHEN is he putting that fire out?
I’m getting One Piece flashbacks right now
LMAOOOOOO
Ah, right.
I was still on fire.
If I’d hugged him like that, poor Kurogane would’ve been roasted alive.
Now, how do I put this out again?
It’s an oil fire — water won’t do it easily.
“Want me to help?”
While I was thinking, one of the Japanese players approached me wearily — Shiomi Yui.
Scratching her cheek with one pale finger, she said,
“Water won’t really work on that, you know?”
“Yeah, I figured. I could go for a swim, but… oh, that’s right. You use ice magic, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“But if I freeze you too fast, it might cause… well, not that it’d matter much in your case.”
I chuckled. “I know — sudden cooling can crack things. But yeah, go ahead.”
She gave a small shrug.
“Well, I guess there’s no point worrying about someone who set himself on fire on purpose.”
“I’m still human, you know.”
“…Right.”
Shiomi Yui: Meteor’s not human.
Be real, everything he did today screams “not human.”
Who in their right mind sets themselves on fire during a raid?!
Dude’s insane for real.
You could make a full 1-hour highlight reel from today alone.
No, not a “mad movie.” A madman movie.
TAKE THAT BACK IMMEDIATELY.
At least the chat was cheerful again.
They’d been dead serious during the raid — now they were right back to being unhinged.
But wait, if he was on fire, aren’t his clothes all burned off?
Probably even his underwear’s gone lol
Half-burnt Meteor underwear — I’ll buy it at auction. How much?
First time in this stream… why is everyone here insane? You almost destroyed Korea!
This is the Meteor Chat I remember!
The crazies always find each other.
You chose this streamer. Suffer.
Ah, yes.
My spicy little community is back.
“Um, Meteor? Can I say one thing?”
“Sure.”
“With that expression while you’re still on fire, you look like a complete psycho— oh, never mind.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“…Huh?”
“Now please put the fire out.”
“O-okay.”
Shiomi shook her head and began casting.
Moments later—
CRACKLE—!!
My entire body froze solid.
But there was one small problem.
“…Huh? Why’s the fire still burning?”
Weirdly enough, the fire didn’t go out.
It was just burning inside the ice.
A flame trapped in frozen crystal — beautiful, really.
Too bad I was the subject of that beautiful image.
“…Can you, uh, try again?”
“The commander’s still on fire! Someone get water! Anything!”
“Emergency! The raid leader’s still burning!”
“Sand! Use sand! It’s an oil fire, smother it!”
The raiders finally panicked.
My flame protection buff was about to expire — if it did, I’d literally roast to death.
BEEEEEEP—!
『Master! I’ll help!』
“How?”
『If I bury you, the fire will go out!』
In that desperate moment, Peanut (my hamster) stepped up.
He stomped his tiny feet — and a massive pit opened beneath me.
I was instantly swallowed up by the earth.
“Peanut, how’s this supposed to—”
『Once the dirt covers you, the fire will go out!』
“What?”
『Hang on, I’ll do it quick!』
RUMBLEEE—!!
The pit collapsed, burying me under tons of dirt.
??????
DAE. JJANG. KONG.
So this is how he dies?
Korea’s greatest GOAT, winning even the Darwin Award
RIP Megod, gone too soon…
Live burial meta: ON
LMAO this is so stupid
Dying like this is the perfect ending template
“Mmfff.”
I tried to speak, but the dirt was already up to my head.
Wrapped in warm sand, I slowly closed my eyes.
I should’ve bought Ian that dinosaur toy after all.
“Mmff mmff.”
『You okay, Master? Just hang in there! It’ll go out soon!』
“Mmfff mmf mmfff.”
『He’s not answering! Must mean he’s fine!』
And thus—
Meteo the Streamer, a.k.a. Yoo Sung-woo… rests here.
2.
After much struggle — the fire on my body was finally extinguished.
“My mouth tastes like dirt.”
“Well yeah, you just ate half a ton of it.”
“When did you get here, Inseob?”
“When your face was half-sticking out of the ground. The ability bureau medics are on their way too. No casualties, which is honestly a miracle.”
At last, the raid was truly over.
I didn’t know what kind of huge reward was causing the delay, but whatever — it was done.
[The Floor 3 Raid has ended. Floor 3 will normalize in one hour.]
[Congratulations.]
[Reward calculation is still in progress. Please wait a moment.]
Soot was still coming out of my nose, but I didn’t care.
My first raid. My first time as a raid leader.
The result wasn’t just good — it was perfect.
25 participants.
Zero deaths.
Meteo’s crew, Day 1 — No Accidents.
Of course, this would also be the final day of the Meteo Expedition.
After a massive event like this, I had no desire to play “leader” again.
Responsibility is such a pain.
“What kind of reward do you think they’ll give?”
“You don’t know your contribution rate yet? Check it, it should be up.”
“Hold on.”
Let’s see… where’s the contribution stat— ah, there it is.
[Your Contribution: 92%]
[You have achieved an unbelievable and magnificent feat.]
“Ninety-two percent.”
“Holy sh—”
“What?”
“That means you’re getting ninety-two percent of the rewards! Damn, how’s that even possible— well, I guess it is.”
92% LMAOOOO
So he literally did everything himself
Which… yeah, he did.
Phase 1, solo neutralized. Phase 2, toyed with the boss. Phase 3, solo carried as a human torch.
Checks out.
World record?
Not just world — universal record.
No one’s ever broken 16% before — that was the German 5th Floor raid!
So basically — I really did carry the whole thing.
And that’s the point.
The admins had bumped this raid from A-rank to S-rank just to mess with me, so it’s only fair the reward is equally ridiculous.
“…Maybe I’ll buy a building.”
“What?”
“A skyscraper in Gangnam. Sounds comforting.”
While I was dreaming of my future riches, the Ability Management Bureau and Japanese Player Association arrived on scene.
“Check the injured first!”
“Anyone need healing?”
The once-dark field was now peaceful, even beautiful.
No monsters. Just calm.
“Sensei!”
Kurogane Tatsuya ran up again — and immediately dropped to his knees.
“I respect you, sir!”
“Oh come on.”
“You are Kami-sama!”
Right.
He was basically declaring me his god.
Honestly, the praise was getting a bit embarrassing.
Might as well tease him a bit while waiting for the reward.
“If you respect me that much, why not just become Korean? I’ll take care of you.”
Shiomi kindly translated — and Tatsuya slammed his forehead to the ground.
“HAI!!”
“…Do you even know what I just said?”
“HAIIIII!!”
“Inseob, go tell Deputy Chief Choi to process his naturalization papers.”
LMAOOOOOOO
Man’s recruiting mid-raid
The Bureau should give Meteor a PR bonus at this point
Wait, is he actually defecting??
Look at his eyes, he might actually do it!
First ever player nationality trade lol
K-player missionary Meteo
Megod strikes again
The cleanup was nearly done.
It was almost time to end the stream.
Still, I’d rather wait until the rewards came in before signing off.
Should I reopen donations?
Maybe earn a little snack and toy money for Ian…
Right then—
[Reward calculation complete.]
Perfect timing.
[You have received a massive amount of experience!]
[Your Transcendence Level has increased.]
[Your Transcendence Level has—]
[<Special Title: Bringer of Dawn> acquired!]
[<Special Title: The Torch> acquired—]
A flood of messages filled my vision.
So many that my jaw literally dropped.
But one message caught my eye above all:
[Rewards are determined by your contribution.]
[Your Contribution: 92%]
[Assigned Reward: <Dimensional Shop (Transcendent Tier) — 1 Free Draw Ticket>]
A… free draw ticket?
Is that good?
Ah, there’s an easy way to find out.
“Dimensional Shop free draw ticket? It says Transcendent Tier — is that good?”
The reaction was immediate.
WHAT.
DIMENSIONAL SHOP??????
TRANSCENDENT TIER??????
HOLY—
NO WAY
LMAOOOOOO
Isn’t that the reward the U.S. team got for clearing Floor 7??
THEY GAVE HIM THAT???
BRUH THIS IS INSANE LOL
…Looks like I just hit the jackpot.
