<strong>Chapter 72</strong>


    Akashic Page.


    This item could be made bybining 25 ‘Fragments of Akasha’, which can be probabilistically obtained in BattleNet.


    Until 2014, the use of Akasha’s fragments, which appeared probabilistically from the tinum League, was unknown, and it was neglected.


    Since these fragments were special items and could only be traded within Earth, not on the BattleNet Market, some yers even discarded them, saying they just took up inventory space.


    However, the situation took a turn when South Korea’s LK Guild discovered how to use this item.


    Driven by Divergent Group, LK Electronics, which had always been second ce, suddenly made tremendous technological advancements from 2015.


    Despite significantly less investment in research and developmentpared to other leadingpanies, LK caught up with the technology of the toppanies, andter even led the technological advancements.


    ‘It waster revealed that this technological advancement was due to the Akashic Page.’


    Using the Akashic Page showed significant results in research and development, especially in IT and electronics. As a result, leading global ITpanies were eager to buy Akasha’s fragments.


    ‘Although I didn’t know how to use it…’


    This was mainly because during the time the Akashic Page was widely used, it was the tutorial phase. Companies tried to hide its usage, and after the tutorial, Akasha’s fragments became rarer, naturally leading to its obscurity. However, Ariel seemed to know something about this Akashic Page.


    [I can’t believe it.]


    Swoosh!


    Seong Jihan’s left arm darkened, and from that darkness, Ariel emerged.


    – Oh, it’s Seong Jihan’s summon.


    – Uh… She looks a bit different from thest game, right?


    – Her eyes are prettier. They seem more vibrant.


    – I liked her ck eyes betterst time. They looked ghostly… haha.


    – Are you a pervert? LOL


    There was a clear difference in Ariel before and after recognizing Seong Jihan as her master. She now expressed a wider range of emotions.


    [Lowest-ss creature.]


    “…Are you referring to me?”


    Speaking fluently like a native Korean, Ariel called Hayeon the lowest-ss creature. Lee Hayeon pointed to herself with a ‘Could it be?’ expression.


    [Yes, you.]


    “…Why am I of the lowest ss?”


    [Because of your race.]


    “Then why is our race the lowest…”


    [Because it’s weak.]


    – LOL she’s suddenly so blunt.


    – Isn’t she also Seong Jihan’s summon?


    – Isn’t she saying Seong Jihan is also of the lowest ss? LOL


    The semi-transparent guild channel chat in front of Lee Hayeon disyed the messages.


    Ariel, seemingly able to read Korean, quickly read the chat and said, [He’s different. He transcends his race, around a mid-ss.]


    “Didn’t you say he’s low ssst time? He’s mid-ss now?”


    [Yes. He’s not quite top-ss yet.]


    “How about Dark Elves?”


    [Dark Elves? I am a Shadow Elf. Shadow Elves are… probably mid-high ss.]


    With that, Ariel reached out toward the smartphone.


    Swoosh!


    The darkness stretched towards Lee Hayeon’s smartphone, the ‘Space 23’, and it was swiftly pulled out.


    [There’s a reason you’re the lowest ss. Why on earth would you use three Akashic Pages on such a thing?]


    “To make the disy more flexible. Do you see how much smoother it foldspared to the previous foldable phones?”


    [Ha… Just because of that?]


    With disdain, Ariel alternated her gaze between the smartphone and Lee Hayeon.


    [You don’t even know the true value of the Akashic Page… tsk.]


    – ??


    – She knows something about Akashic Page?


    – Is there another use for the Akashic Page?


    – Will she impart wisdom to the lowest-ss creatures?


    Ariel, looking at the chat, chuckled and said,


    [Yes, the Akashic Page is… ——.]


    – Huh?


    – Why is there a beeping sound?


    Not just the viewers, but the beep sound was heard by everyone, including Seong Jihan and Lee Hayeon. It was simr to how broadcasts censor profanity or offensive words.


    [So, the tutorial’s prohibition is in effect. Even if I want to tell you, I can’t.]


    Swoosh!


    Then Ariel transformed back into ck smoke and was sucked into Seong Jihan’s arm.


    Before shepletely disappeared, she handed the smartphone she was holding to Seong Jihan’s left hand.


    – Ah, what was that?


    – Is this a joke?


    – It felt like being interrupted while doing number two.


    – She teased the low-level race and left, LOL.


    The viewers criticized Ariel, who disappeared, leaving only curiosity. But the messages did not reach Ariel, who had already vanished.


    “Well then, shall we go shoot the ‘Space 23’ , where the lowest-race like me, unknowingly invested 3 Akashic pages per phone, Owner?”


    Lee Hayeon said, wearing a bright smile but making ament that was hard tough at.


    – The high elf is angry, LOL.


    – A dark elf appeared out of nowhere, dealt massive damage, and disappeared, LOL.


    – It’s a shadow elf, a mid-level race, right?~


    – I meant low-level… haha… sorry!


    It was understandable since she was being mocked for spending 3 pages just to fold a phone, without knowing the real value of the Akashic pages.


    “Let’s go.”


    As Seong Jihan stood up and started to walk, he heard Ariel’s voice from his left arm, [Master, the sound earlier was made by me. It was just a small trick.]


    ‘…What?’


    Ariel made that beeping sound?


    Although Seong Jihan was surprised, [You can’t release such high-level information on a broadcast, right?]


    When Ariel said this, he quickly understood.


    The potential of the Akashic pages she knew was unique information that no one on Earth knew. Revealing it to the public would be a foolish or dangerous move.


    […I’ll tell you after the broadcast.]


    Seong Jihan nodded in agreement, wanting to hear more about the Akashic pages and feeling the urgency to finish the  shoot quickly.


    *   *   *


    At the  shooting site…


    “Cut! Well done!”


    As the sign for the end of themercial filming was given by the director,


    – What~~~ It’s already over?


    – Really?


    The viewers watching the broadcast expressed their disappointment because the  shoot ended much quicker than expected.


    – Why were there no mistakes?!


    – What can we do if he’s good?


    – What can’t our Jihan do… ??


    – Wish he had some difficulty and took longer… When will we see him again now? ??


    The chat, which had a higher proportion of female viewers than usual, was filled with disappointment.


    “Wow, Mr. Jihan, why are you so good at this?”


    “It’s thanks to the director guiding me well.”


    “No~~ It’s not. You shot so well even though you’re a yer.”


    BattleNet yers, with the world’s attention on BattleNet, have risen as the star among stars. They were the hottest entities in the CF (Commercial Films) industry. However, acting was a different matter.


    Shooting with yers was much harder than with regr actors.


    ‘But shooting with Mr. Seong Jihan was quite easy.’


    The director recalled the recent shoot.


    Excluding the few NGs (No Good, a term used to refer to outtakes or mistakes) at the beginning, Seong Jihan showed exactly what the director wanted. On top of that,


    “Could you possibly use telekinesis to levitate the phone?”


    “I can.”


    “Can you fold and unfold it?”


    “Of course.”


    The  shoot ended quickly, so the director tried a new shooting concept, and Seong Jihan epted without hesitation.


    ‘I thought he was a temperamental person because of the noise with the BattleNet Administration and Korea Daily… But he’s very polite.’


    Up until now, among the yers who have shot CFs, many used informalnguage as a basic mannerism and had an option for being violent or weird.


    Compared to them, Sung Jihan was an angel.


    “Thank you for your hard work, Director.”


    “Ah, yes. Thank you!”


    Sung Jihan greeted the CF director and thought, ‘It’s easierpared to shooting in the U.S.’


    In his previous life, Sung Jihan was quite popr in the U.S. Although he wasn’t as popr as Barren, the face of America First, or the Priestess Sophia, he was immensely talented as a warrior, so it was inevitable that he’d be popr. Leveraging that poprity, he had done countless CF shoots. So, this short shoot was something he could easily handle.


    “Owner, the shooting finished faster than I thought. Since we have some time left… Can I report about the guild?”


    Lee Hayeon approached with a smile and nced towards the camera.


    “Ah, everyone~ The shooting finished earlier than expected, so… would you all like to join us?”


    – ???????


    – Are they moving the guild to another country?


    – What? They’re leaving Korea already?


    – It was a short and happy time…


    The chat was in chaos with talk about changing the country due to the mention of a guild report. Seeing this, Lee Hayeon waved her hand dismissively.


    “Hey, we’re not leaving the country. Then, what would happen to thismercial we just shot, right, Owner?”


    – Right, that makes sense.??????


    – If they move, then there’s no point in shooting themercial.


    “Well, you never know. There are many who don’t like me,” said Sung Jihan cryptically, causing the chat to go wild again.


    – Bro… you’re joking, right?


    – Who hates you? ????


    – Is it the Director ? Or the Korea News?


    – Didn’t they apologize already?


    – They didn’t do it officially.


    – Who dares to hate our Ji-Han…!!


    – We can’t let this slide… We need to get them in The First dimension!!


    – So the elders have been watching all this time?


    – The elders seem angry ???


    – This feels like the old days of the Sword King. ?????


    The chat was full of messages from both young and old. Sung Jihan smiled slyly and spoke,


    “Everyone, don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere for now. Let’s check out the new video that will be uploaded. Shall we, Guild Master?”


    “Yes. We’ll go to the guild office and start the live broadcast. See you soon~!”


    Lee Hayeon waved, but the chat was still intense, ready to confront anyone who dared harm Sung Jihan.


    Looking at the chat, Lee Hayeon asked, “Owner… Are you really thinking of moving?”


    “No, I haven’t thought about it.”


    “Then why…”


    Sung Jihan looked around and whispered in Lee Hayeon’s ear, “This will attract more viewers to our next video, right?”


    “Wow.”


    ‘So that was his n.’


    “You didn’t have to do that…”


    “But it’s true they didn’t apologize officially, right?”


    As Sung Jihan smirked, Lee Hayeon felt a shiver down her spine.


    ‘He’s killing two birds with one stone.’ Indeed, he is someone not to be taken lightly.


    With that thought, she headed to the guild office with Sung Jihan.


    “Hello, everyone~~ Today, we have an important announcement rted to our guild, so we’re filming this video~!”


    The oue of Sung Jihan’s sessful aggro was evident in thements.


    Suddenly, the situation might be the opposite of what was intended.


    “Ah, the owner isn’t leaving! The important report isn’t rted to that issue. Right, Owner?”


    “Yes, that’s correct.”


    Lee Hayeon quickly defused the situation and went straight to the point.


    “Now shall we take a look at the status windows of our three guild members that we revealed?”


    The status windows of Yoon Seah, Diego Maseid, and Lim Gayeong were revealed with both Before and Afterparisons.


    Most noticeably was Yoon Seah’s status window.


    – Wait, Yoon Seah’s health is 13?


    – At level 5, she left +3 status points unused…


    – She started with 11, so she gained 2 stat points?


    – It hasn’t even been a week since the league started, right?


    – She increased her health by 2 in just a week? Is this for real?


    After increasing her health by +1, in the next 5 days, Yoon Seah managed to raise her health by 1 more. She wasn’t the only one to show such impressive growth.
