Chapter 69 ….
A post suddenly appeared.
It had a title that would naturally draw the most attention in the current situation—but the contents were even more shocking.
[Guys, I think I just saw Kaiser?]
[Author: FactOnlyPlz]
I’m in the Fishy Rock Forest, and I think I saw Kaiser. Did the recruitment succeed? They said they were taking their time—so why is he hunting here?
Within minutes, dozens of comments piled up.
The reactions were all similar.
Even the scouts can’t find him—what are you seeing lol
Sigh… I was wondering when the attention seekers would show up.
We really shouldn’t feed posts like this, but damn, I couldn’t help clicking;;
He hasn’t even entered Brion yet—what Fishy Rock Forest are you talking about lolol
Pathetic bastard. Just log off already. What’s wrong with you?
Your username doesn’t check out, idiot
Scouts had been stationed from the entrance of Brion.
Sneaking past that crowd to secretly hunt in the field?
Logically impossible.
Thanks to that, the author was cursed out thoroughly—along with his parents—and disappeared. People quickly forgot him.
Or rather, they tried to.
Wait… I’m in Fishy Rock Forest too, and that really looks like Kaiser.
I haven’t confirmed it, but… if that’s not Kaiser, it makes no sense.
The timing fits perfectly… what? Am I seeing things? No way…
Instead of flaming the OP, think about it seriously. There’s more than one witness.
That was, until similar comments began appearing.
Instead of piling on insults, people were backing the claim—confusing the netizens.
It felt too sincere to simply ignore.
Kaiser is actually hunting?
How does that make sense?
Must be fake. He’s not a god—how would he sneak out and hunt?
Right then, the decisive blow arrived.
[No, you idiots. It’s really Kaiser.]

So frustrating. If you don’t believe me, come to Fishy Rock Forest.
There’s some lunatic here massacring orcs solo.
His weapon keeps changing, and when he shoulder-checks, the orcs just go flying.
If this isn’t Kaiser, it honestly makes no sense.
Replacing with a mosaic GIF because I don’t want to get sued for portrait rights. (image attached)

P.S. And to the bastards who insulted my parents—I screenshotted all of you. See you at the police station, you punks.
The author, who seemed to have been driven off earlier, returned with evidence.
A field piled high with orc corpses.
And a single man hunting atop the mound.
After seeing the clear proof, the netizens had no choice but to believe.
…That’s real?
Wait, what? Why is Kaiser there?
But is that really Kaiser? The mosaic makes it hard to tell.
If it’s not Kaiser, what else could it be?
Could this finally be a real fake?
I’m kind of an expert in this field—zoomed in to the max. Clean. Not edited.
Even self-proclaimed experts verified it as real.
But why was someone who shouldn’t have even entered Brion yet… here?
No—before that, how?
What is he, Hong Gil-dong? How is this possible?
At this point he might not even be human.
Oh right, he graduated from Hogwarts lol—he just started late after finishing school.
OP, my bad; your username really checked out.
Though the netizens were confused by the almost magical situation, Kaiser’s message had been clearly delivered.
So this means he has no intention of joining a guild, right? He didn’t even bother saying it directly—just ignored them.
Wow… should I call this cool or insane?
Where are the people who said he wouldn’t do anything crazy like this? Explain.
That was me. I think we can just say… Kaiser did Kaiser things.
Well, he always hated guilds. Even toothless, a tiger is still a tiger, huh?
Right then—
One user raised a question.
Then what were the scouts who were waiting endlessly for Kaiser doing?
What do you mean what…
Everyone gave the same answer.
They just wasted their damn time.
Netizens imagined the Top 100 guilds like dogs staring at a chicken perched on a roof—and nodded.
Someone bring more popcorn.
Holy crap, this was real lol. I’m seriously looking forward to what he does next.
We’ll see in Brion.
Eh, now that he’s made so many enemies, first place might be tough. The current #1 is insanely dominant.
True. In Brion, it’s basically accepted that Berge can’t be beaten. Handsome bastard’s got skills too—annoying.
Is that the issue right now? He just made thousands of enemies in an instant.
One versus thousands… my chest is swelling…
Everyone knew.
Guilds whose pride turned into reputation—and that reputation into power—would never stay still.
And this news reached the scouts in Brion as well.
“What? Kaiser is hunting here?”
“How is that possible?”
“First, please confirm th—”
“Son of a—!”
“Move out now! To the Rock Forest, hurry! No, I’ll go myself. Hey, you idiot! Why are you following me? You’re supposed to stay here on standby!”
What they thought would be a long, peaceful wait had suddenly turned into a ticking time bomb.
Having received similar reports, they all sprang into action at nearly the same time.
They rushed into the Fishy Rock Forest and split up to search the entire area.
How long had they searched?
“?”
“??”
After about an hour, question marks appeared over their heads.
“What the hell? Why isn’t he here?”
“We searched everywhere. Is he in a dungeon?”
“No… there are no dungeons in Fishy Rock Forest. I heard the last sighting was near the heavy fog area…”
“Then what is it? Why can’t we find him?”
At the shout of one scout, a subordinate cautiously replied.
“…It seems he already left.”
“….”
Scout Baek Jincheol froze.
Baek Jincheol.
Though merely a scout, he had become an executive thanks to his ties with the Baekdusan Guild master.
Even in his agitation, his mind worked quickly.
“So while we were guarding the entrance, he secretly slipped out to hunt—and once the news spread, he moved somewhere else?”
“…Yes.”
“…Hah.”
Baek Jincheol let out a hollow laugh and clenched his teeth.
What did this mean?
That Kaiser had no intention of joining any guild?
That was part of it—but if that were the only reason, he wouldn’t have toyed with them like this.
Maintaining amicable relations would have been more advantageous.
Even if not friendly, there was no reason to deliberately make enemies.
That left only two possibilities.
Either he doesn’t know about this situation… or this is a challenge to the guilds.
The judgment came quickly.
There was no way he didn’t know.
Hundreds of people had been asking if he was Kaiser right at the entrance.
Even a glance at the homepage was filled with nothing but this topic.
It was impossible not to know.
Avoiding them so precisely by coincidence was even less believable.
He’s monitoring the situation in real time and moving accordingly.
Kaiser was declaring it with his whole body.
“So… you want to try me, huh?”
Don’t even think about trying to claim me.
I have zero intention of serving under you. I’d rather take everything for myself.
What they thought was an invitation to impress him—
Was actually a blazing challenge.
Ha. Crazy. Even if he’s fallen behind, a tiger is still a tiger, huh?
They had heard he once ruled Demrock alone like a tiger—but to act like this here too?
Ridiculous.
He was drunk on past glory and failing to grasp the situation.
Everyone hyped him up so much he thinks it’s still his world.
Baek Jincheol admitted Kaiser was impressive.
After all, he had dethroned Melsal and taken first place. It meant his form was still alive.
But so what?
“The world has changed. Back then and now are different.”
Past glory?
An undefeated emperor who stood above all?
That was only in Demrock. At most, a small well of tens of millions. This place was a different world.
And now he was already 1 year and 6 months behind.
Baek Jincheol ground his teeth and stepped forward.
“Te–Team leader? Where are you going?”
He paused and flashed a crooked smile.
“To educate the legend of the past.”
About the 1 year and 6 month gap.
About the solid forces built during that time—something even he could never break.
And Baek Jincheol wasn’t the only one thinking this.
“So… this is your intention. Understood, Kaiser.”
From the Phoenix Guild—
“Hah. Even Kaiser is arrogant.”
“Or perhaps this is what makes him Kaiser. Better than expected.”
“Heh, have we ever seen a man like this?”
“Hmph. Still just a relic of the past. His old stage and this one are on different levels.”
“Well, he did snatch first place right after returning. Honestly, dragging Melsal down felt pretty good.”
From the Xenion Guild and the Baekdusan Guild—
The Top 100 guilds all reacted differently.
“What? Kaiser ignored all recruitment and just charged in?”
“Wow… as expected of Kaiser. Every move he makes is on another level. Totally unpredictable.”
“If he’s showing this much ambition, he must still be in top form.”
“I wonder how far he’ll go.”
Other guilds and netizens alike turned their attention to Kaiser.
Thus, through an unintended misunderstanding, countless enemies—and spectators—were being created.
Meanwhile, Dohyeon, now the center of attention without even realizing it…

[Current balance: 16,471,640 won]
“…Whoa.”
He was fully savoring the joy of his first earnings in GodOS.
A whopping 16 million won.
Not 1.6 million—16 million.
At just level 24, he had earned that overnight.
An extremely fitting word slipped from Dohyeon’s mouth.
“…This is insane.”
