Episode 71.
Siwoo blinked his eyes.
Did I see something wrong?
Siwoo rubbed his eyes and straightened his vision.
and.
[Awakening Personality] – Nothing
[Judgment Grade] – Below F grade.
The verdict still remained unchanged.
-Idiosyncratic?
-You say you awakened without any personality?
-Is that possible?
A rumbling voice came from beyond the speaker.
The sound of shock I heard seemed to have been due to that.
The sound started to get complicated.
It seemed like the employees who heard the news were gathering.
After all, Siwoo’s individuality was unique in the entire world.
That’s why, in the past, wasn’t it Siwoo who even conducted clinical trials?
“There’s no way… this can’t be happening?”
But that was a thing of the past.
It wasn’t like that now.
No, that couldn’t be possible.
“Wait a minute! Something seems wrong here.”
Siwoo said, denying reality.
It wasn’t something like cognitive dissonance.
Isn’t this just ridiculous!
-You will only be re-examined once. Please leave.
But for others, it wasn’t like that.
It just seemed like they were refusing to accept reality.
Aren’t the results right before your eyes?
“Just once. Please check again just once. No matter how much I think about this, it doesn’t make sense…”
Siwoo apologized and requested a re-examination.
But, as expected, the request was not accepted.
-If you keep doing that, I have no choice but to kick you out.
A voice coming from beyond the speaker sounds forceful.
Siwoo eventually had no choice but to leave the examination room.
Just after coming out of the examination room.
“How do I retake the test?”
Siwoo asked the staff at the laboratory.
Then the employee glanced at Siwoo and sighed.
“There are cases where the results change after a re-examination, but there are no cases where the results change after a re-examination.”
know.
I know, but doesn’t the current situation make any sense?
I really can’t explain this.
“If you still want to go, go there. Go to where they are.”
The employee then pointed to one side with his finger.
The gaze follows the finger.
There was a group of people standing in front of the window.
These were quite familiar faces.
It was none other than those who had been re-examined before Siwoo.
“I’m an F-rank! That doesn’t make sense!”
“Something is wrong with this. There’s no other way to explain it.”
“Check again! Check again!”
They were all in denial of reality.
Even though the results were clearly visible, he was making a fuss, insisting that it was not true.
Why do I have to watch them like that?
“……”
For some reason, he didn’t seem much different from Siwoo.
No, it was fundamentally different.
That’s for sure.
But why is that?
“There’s something wrong with the tester!”
“This can’t be happening!”
The appearance wasn’t much different.
No, honestly I could say it was the same.
“If you apply now, you can take the test again in one month.”
The employee said that and left.
Siwoo stood there still.
Steps that cannot be taken.
“……”
Siwoo just stood there for a long time.
* * *
Eventually, the re-examination was given up.
Siwoo turned around and walked out of the management office.
and.
“Why?”
Siwoo’s mind was in utter confusion.
“Why hasn’t anything changed?”
Even though I learned the personalities of the gods, my awakening level did not change.
It was rated lower than F, let alone SSS.
Even Siwoo’s personality is also nothing.
Nothing had changed since the first time I took the test.
“This can’t be happening?”
But it just didn’t make any sense.
The Hercules’ super strength (SS) that Siwoo is using right now.
Aren’t you using that power directly?
There is evidence that can be clearly seen with both eyes.
“But why on earth…?”
Siwoo was really confused.
Such a confusing mind.
Countless thoughts came and went.
Thus, insight (S+).
A strange force penetrates the essence of the phenomenon encountered.
Such organized thoughts.
It could be broadly summarized into three hypotheses.
first.
“Can’t you sense the individuality of the gods?”
The inspector failed to detect the gods’ individuality.
It is quite possible that the highest level of personality currently in existence was S-rank.
But Godtube’s individuality is basically S+ grade.
There was an SS grade, of course, and even an SSS grade.
There was a good chance that the scanner wouldn’t detect it.
but.
“Considering that it’s below an F grade, I don’t think so.”
In that case, the evaluation grade should not have been lower than F.
If it really couldn’t be detected, the result should have been ‘Unable to detect’ or ‘Unable to determine’.
But the actual result was below an F grade.
It didn’t seem strange that the detector couldn’t detect it.
So secondly.
“Because I have no individuality?”
Hercules said.
It was said that nothingness is Siwoo’s individuality.
And then there’s the concept of existence and stuff.
He said a lot of painful words, but the gist of it was the same.
The uniqueness of Siwoo is that he is nothing.
thus.
“Has my uniqueness not changed?”
Although he has learned the individuality of the gods, Siwoo’s uniqueness is still nothing.
That is why the results of the tester did not change.
“hmm….”
This was a very reasonable hypothesis.
But it was also something that was not certain.
That would be the case, the last three.
“Because I couldn’t get my proficiency to 100%?”
It might be because I wasn’t able to get my proficiency in personality to 100%.
In fact, Siwoo did not fully acquire the individuality of the gods.
To be exact, it was a situation where I was learning the personalities of the gods.
It couldn’t be seen as Siwoo’s power yet.
You could tell just by looking at the fact that he couldn’t fully use Hercules’s brute strength.
This means that.
It meant that you had to get 100% proficiency to make it Siwoo’s.
Only then could we say that it was Siwoo’s full strength and individuality.
But there was still nothing.
There is currently no individuality that has reached 100% proficiency.
So there is no individuality that can be said to be Siwoo’s.
That’s why the inspector still finds Siwoo’s individuality to be null.
I decided that there was nothing.
“Hmm….”
This also made a lot of sense.
The first hypothesis was a bit puzzling.
But the second and third.
These two hypotheses made a lot of sense.
“I don’t know which one it is.”
That’s why I couldn’t be sure.
Insight (S+) was only able to make hypotheses and was not able to confirm them.
Even if it is a reasonable hypothesis, it is only reasonable to a certain extent.
Because I couldn’t tell if it was true or not.
“hmm….”
The thoughts get a little deeper.
What exactly is the personality of the gods?
How can I learn and acquire these things?
So, this GodTube.
The two men I saw in the Arachne Dungeon back then.
And the blond man who gave Siwoo the smartphone from GodTube.
“Who could it have been?”
Hercules didn’t know anything about him either.
I just said that it seemed like he was one of the administrators of GotTube.
Who on earth is the blond man?
Who was the white-haired man fighting him?
Above all, did the blond man know Siwoo?
This also Hercules said.
It was said that only the uniqueness of Siwoo called Mu (無) was possible.
That’s why he said that only Siu can learn the power of the gods.
Did the blond man know this too?
So should I hand over Godtube’s smartphone to Siwoo?
Then, did he know where Siwoo was and come looking for him?
[I’m sorry for getting you involved.]
What the blond man said to Siwoo as he handed over his smartphone.
Looking at this, it didn’t seem like he knew what he was looking for.
So, is it just a coincidence?
But the blond man also told this story.
[Because I left the possibility open.]
Possibility.
What possibilities are you talking about?
If that is the case.
What if this means that Shiwoo has the possibility to learn the power of the gods?
There was a chance that the blond man knew Siwoo and came looking for him.
Then, it couldn’t be said to be just a coincidence.
“Hmm….”
My thoughts started to get complicated.
My head is a jumbled mess.
Insight (S+) did not provide an answer accordingly.
Instead, it caused me to feel overloaded and my head started to hurt.
“…Uh, I don’t know.”
Siwoo shook his head and shook it off.
Things you can’t figure out even if you think about them right now.
There was no need to worry unnecessarily.
Nothing is certain yet.
But there was one thing that was a firm truth.
“So, in the end, re-examination is meaningless?”
There is no point in re-examining it.
It would have been meaningful if at least one proficiency was 100%.
And the most skilled one right now is this.
It’s not even 50% full yet.
When will I level up this skill and get tested again?
Perhaps by then the test itself might have become meaningless.
And there’s no time to wait until then.
This means that.
“I can’t level up my Hunter rank right now.”
I couldn’t raise my Hunter rank through re-evaluation.
In other words.
“I need to build up my achievements….”
I had to gradually build up my achievements and raise my hunter rank.
And that achievement is dungeon raid.
“When are you uploading it?”
It was a time-consuming task.
Currently, Siwoo’s hunter rank is D-class.
Required grade is at least A-class.
It already felt like a long time ago.
But what can I do?
“I have to.”
Siwoo let out a small sigh.
For many reasons, it was necessary to raise the Hunter rank.
It wasn’t just for farming building materials.
Farming for Siu’s equipment materials.
Future activities.
Considering all that, I needed to level up my Hunter rank.
And since it has come to this.
“I haven’t been very active on YouTube lately.”
They say life is like a blessing and a curse.
It was a good thing, actually.
A fantastic piece of content that fits the current situation just came to mind.
“I think I should have a talk with Mr. Deokgu.”
But I don’t know if you’re doing well.
Siwoo picked up his smartphone and looked for the contact information of Seongnam, the editor of Seongnam, and Deokgu.
* * *
Deokgu has been feeling very anxious lately.
“Why don’t you give me the video…?”
These days, Siwoo hasn’t been sending any videos.
The word ‘these days’ is no longer the same.
The last one I uploaded was a Vampire Bat Dungeon speedrun video.
No videos have been sent since then.
If other people heard about it, they would be jealous and say, “This is so cool!”
Because it was just for fun.
But Deokgu wasn’t like that.
“Are you thinking of quitting YouTube…?”
I wonder if Siwoo is thinking of quitting YouTube.
That was because such thoughts kept coming to my mind.
The current growth of Se-gong-nam is tremendous.
If I keep going like this, becoming a big YouTuber is not even a dream.
But, it means ‘just like this’.
That was no easy task.
It could be said to be the most difficult thing in the world.
Many people get frustrated when they see that wall.
It was a very common occurrence.
YouTubers who shine in the beginning and then disappear.
Those who cannot endure the fate of having to create content every day and quit.
Being a YouTuber is not as easy a job as it may seem.
People think.
Do you make that much money just by filming and uploading videos?
Should I take a picture too?
I came into this world with such a light heart.
And then it gets lightly torn apart.
Didn’t they say not to forget the sadness hidden behind the glamour?
It really takes a lot of time and effort to become famous.
Monetization, which can be said to be the beginning of becoming a YouTuber.
Few people even reached that level of revenue generation.
Even if you want to make money, you need to consistently get at least 10,000 views.
But whose dog name has 10,000 views?
It’s not easy to upload any video and get 10,000 views.
Provocative content.
However, provocative content carries with it risks.
Because in an instant, your image can go down the drain.
Then that’s the end of it.
It was definitely not easy to make a living off of people’s attention.
So now.
“You’re not really thinking of quitting YouTube, are you…?”
Deokgu has been feeling very anxious these days.
I wonder if Siwoo is thinking of quitting YouTube.
Such thoughts came to my mind randomly.
Of course, that was Siwoo’s freedom.
But, in addition to the basic salary of 300, there are additional incentives based on the number of views.
Conditions that cannot be obtained even from large YouTube channels.
Thanks to that, I was so happy during that time.
Days of buying chicken for my younger siblings, aged 8 and 9.
Is it just chicken?
I could even buy you an expensive pizza.
That’s two whole boards.
Of course, it is true that I hesitated because of the price of over 30,000 won per plate.
It’s true that I thought, ‘Huh, should I just have one plate?’ when I saw the price of almost 70,000 won for two plates.
But I closed my eyes and ordered two plates.
But, it doesn’t interfere with life at all.
My younger siblings were so amazed by the cheese that kept stretching.
How happy my heart felt.
More than anything.
“The boss is a good person too….”
In Deokgu’s eyes, Siwoo was a very good person.
Of course, I had never had a conversation with Siwoo about anything other than work-related matters.
We haven’t been in contact much lately, so we haven’t really had much of a conversation.
But that actually made me trust Siwoo.
At least Siwoo wasn’t someone who tried to use Deokgu.
Because I wasn’t the kind of person who would wear a mask of hypocrisy to try to get things done.
So, a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Wouldn’t it be okay to talk about something personal?
I had that thought a little bit.
Oh, no.
But that doesn’t mean I’m talking about something so serious that I’m just going on and on.
So, let’s talk about light things other than work.
I bought chicken for my siblings with the salary the boss gave me today!
Or something like that.
The weather is very cold! Dress warmly!
Just a greeting like that.
Wouldn’t it be okay to have a light conversation like this?
In fact, these are things I could say right now.
But these were things that required considerable courage for Deokgu.
anyway.
Siwoo was a good person.
That’s why now.
“It really won’t work if I get cut off….”
Deokgu was having some really anxious days.
And then, payday arrived.
Deok-gu was finally able to contact Si-woo.
I have something to tell you when we meet. I don’t feel like talking on the phone, so would it be possible for us to meet tomorrow?
15:22 PM
It was a very short message.
But Deok-gu’s heart sank.
It’s not that I sent a video, it’s that I asked to meet up.
He sent me a message like that as payday approached.
I guess so.
I think you’re thinking of quitting YouTube.
“It really won’t work….”
Deokgu felt as if his heart had sank.
