[A noble of the night, Viscount Roton Seynod, has been killed . ]

[Viscount Vampire Killer]

[A title given to adventurers who kill a noble of the night, a vampire . The title will grow when hunting high-class vampires .

Effect: All stats +50, attack power against vampires will increase by 5% . ]

Roton Seynod was a pile of ashes, but he left many things for Hyeonu, Kim Seokjung, and Gang Junggu—experience, a title, and items .

“Level 198 . . . ” Kim Seokjung looked thrilled .  He had already leveled up .  Usually, it would take him five days to level up even if he hunted for 12 hours a day .  Leveling up in the absence of the main scenario quests was very tedious and slow .  It took Kim Seokjung a week to level from 196 to 197 .  Yet he hunted for one day in the dungeon and reached level 198 .  It was a miraculous speed .

“Brother, did you get a title?”

Gang Junggu nodded at Hyeonu's question before he turned to face Hyeonu . “Viscount Killer?”

Hyeonu nodded before picking up an item from the spot where Roton's ashes had disappeared .  Four items were dropped .  As expected, there were great rewards for defeating the boss of a multi-floor dungeon .

“Four items?”

“Yes, there are four items . ”

Hyeonu was ecstatic to see the fallen items . This was completely different from when he hunted alone .

'I need to do party hunting . . . ' Hyeonu even had this idea .  The drop rate was different compared to hunting alone .

Four items . . .

Hyeonu would've been grateful even with just one .  In fact, Hyeonu's drop rate wasn't so bad .  Among the items he was wearing, there were many items that had never been seen before .

“I will confirm the items first . ” Hyeonu smiled brightly as he picked up the items .

“Wow . . . ” Hyeonu couldn't close his mouth after checking the information on the four items .  They were items he had never seen before while playing Arena .  Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu didn't know the information on the four items, so they were looking at Hyeonu with curious expressions .

“What is it?”

“Little brother? Is something wrong?”

“Yes, there's a problem . It's a pretty big one . ”

Hyeonu's words caused the expressions of the two men to stiffen .  There was a common thought in their minds .

'The items aren't good!'

This happened because Hyeonu was wearing a mask .  Gang Junggu started to comfort Hyeonu, “Hyeonu, there are always days like this . It can't be consistent . ”

“Yes . Today is just a bit different . ”

“It will be better in the future . Don't be too upset . ”

“Huh? What are you saying? The problem is that the items are too good . . . ” 

Hyeonu watched Gang Junggu with strange eyes .  Why was he hearing Gang Junggu comforting him? Was this person crazy? Hyeonu's eyes seemed to imply this .

“Look here . ” Hyeonu shared the information on the items .

The eyes of the two men doubled in size when they saw the items' information .  However, that only lasted for a short moment .  The two of them soon showed unenthusiastic expressions .

Then Hyeonu became the perplexed one .  “What's wrong? Your rotten expressions . . . ”

“This isn't useful for us . Little brother, you take them . ”

“Hyeonu, you have done a lot of the work . Take all of them . We came all the way here thanks to you, and you took care of the hard work . ”

The two of them patted Hyeonu's shoulder .  Hyeonu was grateful to the two of them, but his conscience didn't allow him to take all four items .

“Then I'll just take two . ” Hyeonu handed the gloves and books to Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu respectively . “Think of it as a gift from your little brother and accept it . ”

“A gift? Huhuhu!” Kim Seokjung laughed at Hyeonu's words .  He seemed to be in a really good mood .  “Little brother, we should go out now . I hope you can give me an answer the next time we see each other . ”

Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu left Hyeonu alone with these words .

Hyeonu continued to scour the Hejin Mountains after his dungeon attack with Kim Seokjung .  Now he was able to explore areas deeper in the mountains .  Then Hyeonu received a note .

[To . Alley Leader: 

We need to determine the cast of the first episode of Alley Leader Academy .

Please call me as soon as you see this note . ]

The note came from Kale .

“Has the cast been decided? I'll have to get in touch . ”

Hyeonu immediately stopped exploring the Hejin Mountains and disconnected from Arena .  He exited the cube and called Kale straight away .

“Kale? It's me . Has the cast been decided?”

-You got in touch quickly .  I just sent the note . . .  Well, it's good .  Mr . Gang is very interested .

“Of course . This is my content . Additionally, the performer isn't first . Alley Leader is number one . ”

-Keuk . . .  A total of eight people got in contact with us, and all of them are celebrities . Then I thought about how it is the first time and narrowed the candidates down to the three who will create the hottest topics .

“Three people? Who are they?” Hyeonu was surprised that all eight had applied .  He had felt dubious as the streaming process progressed .  They all claimed to be celebrities, but he hadn't believed it .

'I thought it was a prank . . . '

-Dwayne Evans, Hollywood's best action star at the moment .  The British diva, Christina .  The last one is Korean .  Ryu—he is also a Hollywood actor .

Hyeonu was surprised when he heard the list .  This wasn't the level of celebrity he had expected .  He thought that they would be celebrities with enough fame to barely be called celebrities or famous streamers .

'For example, streamers famous for not playing games . . . '

Then he thought about it again and felt something was strange .  Dwayne Evans was a hugely popular action star .  Wasn't he famous for shooting movies without a stuntman? “How did Dwayne Evans meet the conditions? Does this mean his arena rating isn't a bronze medal?”

-Surprisingly, it is true .  Unlike reality, his combat ability in virtual reality is close to extremely bad .  In fact, his ranking is very low .

“So how did he level up?”

-He says that hunting and PvP are different .  I think he must've ridden a bus .

“I see . . . I have one more question . Kale, who would you recommend?”

-I recommend Dwayne Evans .

“Why?”

-He is the most famous of the eight .  Additionally, he is known for his excellent sense of humor .

“Then I'll go with Dwayne Evans . I have already decided to pick a celebrity, and he is the best in the world . ” 

-I will let him know .  Then we will meet at the arena tomorrow at 5 o'clock, Seoul time .

“Sure, Kale . ”

Hyeonu hung up before turning on his laptop and searching for 'Dwayne Evans . '

'I need to know him if I'm going to meet and talk to him . '

In fact, Hyeonu didn't know much about Dwayne Evans .  He was a famous actor .  His action scenes were good .  He was handsome and very rich .  That was all .  Hyeonu didn't know anything else .

“What? It's all about me?”

[Dwayne Evans' recent interest is Alley Leader . “His style is phenomenal . ”]

[Dwayne Evans, a fan of Alley Leader . ]

[Dwayne Evans revealed his intention to meet Alley Leader . ]

Hyeonu saw the title of the articles and was stunned .

'Hollywood's top action star wants to see me?'

“No, this is impossible . ”

Hyeonu shook his head .  He quickly moved to an Arena community .  However, Hyeonu immediately shut down the Arena community .  He didn't know why such interesting articles weren't interesting today .

“No, I have to sleep quickly today . ” 

Hyeonu's expression was as excited as a primary school student on the eve of a picnic day .

Hyeonu sat at the table and looked particularly haggard .  He looked so strange that Yeongchan was worried .  

“Hey, are you okay? Are you sick?”

“No, no . I'm fine . I couldn't sleep . ”

Last night, Hyeonu couldn't sleep because he kept thinking about meeting Dwayne Evans .

“Then go ahead and sleep a bit more . There is still a long time until your stream . ”

“What about you? Are you okay?” 

This time, it was Hyeonu who asked .  Was Yeongchan okay? Hyeonu felt apologetic for his atrocious actions from not so long ago .

“I'm not fine . Because of you . . . ” Yeongchan's fists were shaking .

He remembered that day and ignored the normal-sized cup, drinking an entire bottle of water instead .

“Didn't you really like it at the time? Hey, I'm just trying to make you happy . I gave you the MC's position . ” Hyeonu's face became rosy as he spoke .

“Yes, but you only told me at that time . . . ”

“Hey, I'm disappointed . You are the one who sneaked home and went on a blind date,” Hyeonu interrupted Yeongchan's words .

Then he started to attack Yeongchan in reverse .  Hyeonu talked for a long time before glancing at his watch and standing up from the table .  “Hey, I have to go stream . Let's do this next time, friend . ” 

Yeongchan was left alone and wanted to cry .

Hyeonu connected to Arena and immediately entered the arena .  Then he created a friendly game room .

“The name of the room is Alley Leader, and the password is 'a good man . ' Okay, that's it . ”

Hyeonu created the room and sent a note to Kale that included the name and password of the room .  A short time later, two people appeared in the arena .  One was a familiar male . It was Kale .  

“Hello, Alley Leader . ”

Then there was the other person . He was 190 centimeters tall, full of muscles, and the owner of a manly face .  Based on his form alone, he should be able to compete for the top position in the arena rankings .

“Hello, Dwayne Evans . ”

It was the appearance of Alley Leader's first student .
