They say you always pick the worst day to go out.
Well… they were right.
[Starting stream.]
[Broadcast title: Crashing the 4th Floor]
meha
meha
Megod, we praise you
Another day to witness the divine
Is he really going to the 4th floor today?
If he goes straight to the 4th floor that’s literally a world record??? He was on the 3rd for like, what, a few days;;
The buff he got from clearing the raid this time is insane lol
All the other low-floor players are climbing super fast rn too
And he’s been grinding skill levels like crazy lately
With all the useful info I gathered from Tae-oh, I entered the Tower.
The moment I turned the stream on, people swarmed in like a tidal wave.
The firepower is insane.
Now it’s normal for my viewer count to hit 10k in under a few minutes.
I can really feel that my channel tier has grown.
Ad inquiries flooding in, subscribers skyrocketing.
And recently, I’ve noticed a lot of international viewers joining too.
Look—
Another day, another greeting to the master (auto-translated)
Isn’t this the guy who backflips like a beast? Is he not showing it today? (auto-translated)
Thank you for taking care of our Kurogane Tatsuya-kun. A kind neighbor indeed. (auto-translated)
Isn’t he the Asian GOAT? (auto-translated)
Why is everything auto-translated lol
Weren’t Korean Abyss streamers mostly domestic-only before?
Our Abyss streamer #1 Neugeo is Korea-only lol, can’t compare to Megod
Aren’t you guys dissing Neugeo too much? He’s still Korea’s #1..
lol neugeo
ng*h
MEGOD
The chat is chaotic—borderline brain-melting.
Most of the auto-translated chats are foreign viewers.
And it looks like a variety of countries too.
China, Japan, English-speaking regions, etc.
…But wait. Didn’t I publicly roast China last time?
And there are still Chinese viewers?
Well. Everyone has different tastes, I guess.
“Today I’ll be challenging the 4th-floor advancement quest. You all saw the notice, right?”
When I smiled leisurely at the camera drone, giant donations immediately started rolling in.
[‘CN_Warlord’ donated 1,000,000 KRW!]
Have you eaten lunch? Wishing you a fun stream today. Cheering for you across the sea ^^
[‘Archmage073’ donated $1,000!]
I want to climb the 7th floor with you soon, my friend. Best of luck today.
[‘Kurogane Tatsuya Official’ donated 1,000,000 KRW!]
I will humbly learn from your second lesson today… sensei!
And more donations—each one enough to make you gasp—kept exploding.
Look at this.
I pull aggro with my transcendence-tier trait, and they all just bring me money on their own!
And it’s not even like I signed any contract.
It’s literally free money.
This is the Meteo-style redistribution of wealth.
Besides, anyone aiming for a transcendence-tier unique trait is basically a billionaire.
They won’t miss a little money.
“Bosses! Chairmen! Thank you for the support. As a reaction… peanut show! Peanut?”
squeee?
Peanut, who’d been digging holes on the ground, perked up his ears.
They say even a dog learns poetry after three years at a Confucian school?
Well, a hamster streamer learns broadcasting after one month.
squeeeee!
Peanut turned to the drone and showed off: grooming, curling up into a little ball—every cute trick he’d practiced on Ian.
The chat exploded.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
I want to put him in my mouthㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
When are you making Jjang-kong merchㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
KING PEANUT
wa wa wa wa wa wa
Is it legal to get this much healing from an Abyss stream?
He’s so cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Thanks, Peanut.
Seventy percent of my female viewers are here because of you.
『You’re giving me that treat tonight, right? The really good one from last time! It was amazing!』
“Of course.”
Tch. A treat?
I’ll buy you the whole factory.
I gazed lovingly at Peanut, then turned back toward the drone.
“Alright guys! Let’s have a great stream today! Subscribe, like, notifications on!”
4th-floor advancement quest.
Starting now.
6.
The 4th-floor quest is supposedly less famous than the 3rd-floor quest.
The biggest reason: the comparison is unfair.
The 3rd-floor quest, The Dimensional Theater, is one of the most iconic quests in the entire Abyss.
But is this one easier?
They say… not really.
[You have entered <3F – Temple of Proof>!]
[You can perform the 4F advancement quest in this area!]
After running about 30 minutes from the starting point, I arrived at the quest field:
<Temple of Proof>.
A lone temple resting in the middle of a vast, green meadow.
Greek-style architecture, vines creeping along its columns.
Avalon had quite a few temples like this.
The shrines of the Light God—who chose our proud hero—had this exact style.
The temple is pretty
Not kidding, I wish they’d make Abyss tourism packages
Can normal people not enter the Abyss?
You can go to floor 1 lol
A normal person would become monster food instantly
Still, at least we can sightsee through streams. Imagine if no one streamed
fr
Abyss scenery really is beautiful.
Places like this could probably be sold as tourist attractions.
Each field has its own vibe—makes it fun to look at.
No wonder people watch Abyss streams.
Step.
I entered the temple with a quiet exhale.
The 4th-floor test has three possible types. Like the random fairy tale in the Theater, this quest also randomly assigns one of three trials.
The three are…
[‘Abyss Encyclopedia’ donated 10,000 KRW!]
The three advancement quests are <Proof of Strength>, <Proof of Wisdom>, <Proof of Luck>. <Strength> requires defeating monsters within a time limit, <Wisdom> is solving puzzles in time. But <Luck> is… also known as the rng-hellquest…
Professor, you can’t say that.
Even though it’s true.
I already heard this from Inseob.
Strength and Wisdom are respectable trials, but this Luck trial is an almost-fake advancement quest.
No matter how strong or smart you are, if you get this one, you can’t guarantee when you’ll clear it.
Proof of Luck? That’s the enhance quest right? lol
yeah LOL
Didn’t someone fail that for a whole month last time? lol
It’s actually a bad quest design lol
Is that the one where you enhance to +15?
yep lol
I hope he gets that one LOL
Info) currently Ggukjeong has been trying for 2 weeks. You might run into him today
Who’s Ggukjeong
get out
ㄴ ㄴㄱㄹ
Chat explained it perfectly.
You get a sword at the start and you must enhance it to +15.
Materials can be gathered in the field.
Reach +15 = clear.
The problem?
The probabilities are nonsense.
Chance to go from +14 to +15 is 2%.
And the sword can break at any time before that.
If it breaks?
Back to +1.
‘…I’ve definitely seen this system before.’
Was the designer a K-RPG veteran?
No sane developer would implement this system.
So basically—
“You’re telling me this quest depends on luck?”
yeah LOL
I think the longest record was by a Chinese player? They tried for 95 days straight
lol and if you give up once you can’t take any advancement quest for 30 days
Imagine giving up and then getting Luck again
LOL
I’m excited already
Probability is 33% anyway???
Strength and Wisdom are legit easy
Alright. I get it now.
In short: getting <Proof of Luck> means you pulled the loser prize.
I used to play a K-RPG with a similar enhancement system…
Let’s not recall that trauma.
“Whoever designed this quest is not mentally stable.”
Optimization is fine, but K-RPG-style optimization?
With destruction chance?
That’s evil.
But it’s fine.
“It’s fine as long as it’s not me.”
As long as I don’t get it.
That trash system? Meaningless before the <Miracle Matryoshka>.
I just need to avoid pulling it.
33%?
With my Matryoshka bro protecting me, the odds of getting that trash test are basically zero.
“With Matryoshka bro here, what’s there to worry about?”
DA GI-MA
Gi-ma can’t block this one
true
World’s only Gi-ma holder
But has it ever helped so far?
Haven’t you heard? Meteo’s farming the back-Abyss like crazy. Magic stones pouring like waterfalls
me-legit-wow
As expected, Megod
Come to think of it, I haven’t hunted in the back-Abyss lately.
Gotta work hard if I want to buy Ian premium toys and upgrade to a bigger house.
Sigh.
Thinking about it makes me want to climb faster.
Floor 7+ international rankers are basically walking corporations.
“Are there no monsters here? It’s peaceful.”
Thinking back to my priorities, I walked forward.
Soon a statue of a winged angel came into view.
When I approached it, a message popped up.
[You may begin the 4F advancement quest.]
[To proceed deeper into the Abyss, you must prove your worth. <Nameless Angel> watches you.]
[Touch the statue to begin.]
This damn Abyss loves random draws too much.
Which makes it exhilarating.
Nothing is as thrilling as overpowering the system with ridiculous abilities.
“Alright. To start the 4F quest, simply put the Miracle Matryoshka in my inventory, then—bam! Touch the statue!”
Relaxed, I placed my hand on the statue.
Hopefully Strength.
Wisdom is fine too.
Our Matryoshka bro would obviously pick Strength for me—
BZZZ—!
[Starting 4F advancement quest.]
[Beginning random selection.]
[5…4…3…2…1… Selection complete.]
[<Nameless Angel> assigns you a task!]
[PROOF OF LUCK]
Grade: None, Advancement
Description: Prove your luck. You must temper the <Angel’s Sword> to its limit.
Clear Condition: <Angel’s Sword +15>
*If abandoned, you cannot perform an advancement quest for 30 days.
“Wow.”
wow? LOLLLLLLLLLLL
gimabro? gimabro? gimabro? gimabro? gimabro??
PROOF OF LUCK HAHAHAHAHA
LOLLLLLLLLL
wow lolololololol
The Miracle Matryoshka? Not so miraculous ㅋㅋ
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
serves him right lolololol
LOOOOOOL
Gima.
Do you want to die?
Want me to sell you to a junkyard???
