After Joo-hyuk secretly left the Gigant at Yeouido Park and left.
Finally, the exhibition Gigant revealed its appearance in front of people.
Self-employed Mr. Kim saw it while heading home on the early morning bus after finishing his restaurant business overnight.
Job seeker Mr. Park went out to the veranda to cool his head at the crack of dawn while studying, and discovered it beyond the glass window.
Mr. Jung, who works at a securities firm, witnessed it while coming out of Exit 3 of Yeouido Subway Station to go to work in the morning.
Little Lee of the Yeouido Kindergarten Chick Class made things difficult for his dad by throwing a tantrum saying he wouldn't go to kindergarten but to the park after seeing it on his way to school.
Mr. Jung, a usual giant robot enthusiast, rushed to Yeouido panting after receiving a call from a club friend and met it.
Retired public official Mr. Yoon, slightly soiled his pants in shock after seeing it while taking a morning walk along the Han River bank, so he returned home to change his underwear.
People living in the provinces, not Seoul, or people overseas came across it through news or SNS.
It wasn't there up until yesterday.
It appeared overnight.
The Gigant they watched on video actually appeared.
Plausibly painted with matte paint.
Even moving occasionally at that.
You-Tube BJs mobilized in full force to Yeouido Park.
Isn't it tremendous content?
The viewers were bursting at the seams even if they simply did a live broadcast without saying anything.
It really existed. It was real. When I went to the park yesterday it wasn't there, when did it appear? The top player probably secretly set it up at night and left. It really is big. Hey, they should set that up in front of Mansudae in Pyongyang. Fuck, paying the same taxes, but those Seoul bastards get to see that from their own house verandas. They painted the colors prettily. Not excessively either. It seems someone with aesthetic sense painted it. Oh-oh! It's moving. Wow! It's even turning its head. It won't end up blindly stepping on people doing that, right? It doesn't move around or anything like that. It just slightly moves its arms or head. But what's with the advertisement on the back plate? I wish they would erase that. My words exactly! Erase the advertisement!
The reaction was explosive.
Globally, not just in the Republic of Korea.
People flocked to Korea to see the actual Gigant in person.
Plane tickets heading to Korea from airlines in various countries were completely sold out.
Up until previously, the Black Tower in the center of Tokyo was the most famous hot place, but the situation had changed now.
Like that, the popularity of the Gigant pierced the sky.
Thanks to that, Rajix Corporation also became famous to the extent that there was no one who didn't know its name.
Therefore, the Gangnam Rajix Corporation headquarters was also in an extremely busy situation.
Everyone was out of their minds.
"Uh, Secretary Oh, is the homepage restored?"
"The technical team just contacted saying they opened the server."
"Haa, this drives me crazy."
Is it just the homepage that went down?
Calls were raining down too.
The cause of it becoming like this?
It was all thanks to the advertisement.
They are getting cursed out heavily by people.
"How severe is the intensity of the protests?"
"It's almost at the level of threats."
"Saying they'll enter a boycott movement if we don't erase the advertisement phrases on the Gigant's back right away."
"Saying did we really have to make our friend Gigant a laughingstock like that."
It wasn't because of the advertising effect, but the advertisement itself was the problem.
CEO Jung Dong-hoon sighing deeply.
Secretary Oh Jin-sook walking on eggshells.
"What should we do? Even if it's just a temporary notice saying we plan to erase the back plate advertisement......."
"No. Don't do anything for now. I'll go get permission and come back."
Oh Jin-sook left the CEO's office.
He says he has to get permission to erase the advertisement but.
'Does the top player have to give permission?'
The real owner of Rajix Corporation.
However, his identity is veiled so nobody knows who it is.
Honestly, there is one person she can strongly guess.
Even though it just doesn't match up at all.
Thus, when she was working as a general affairs department employee before becoming CEO Jung Dong-hoon's secretary, her school alumni Bong Joo-hyuk who visited the Rajix Corporation headquarters.
CEO Jung Dong-hoon's attitude when dealing with him.
Additionally, the abrupt personnel transfer to the secretariat.
'Could Joo-hyuk perhaps be the top player.......'
How could a kid who was so kind he couldn't even catch a bug?
He even experienced being bullied by a school delinquent punk.
I don't know if Joo-hyuk knows, but I also remember going to that delinquent punk and threatening him not to bully kind kids.
At the time, Oh Jin-sook had the power to do so.
Because the older brother she was dating was the captain of the sports club.
'Anyway, it probably isn't Joo-hyuk.'
Even if he's a player, he'd probably just be doing repeated clears on safe floors.
The 90th floor boss, the Supreme Demonic Dragon Helcrassus, who descended to the 89th floor.
Isn't it spine-chilling just hearing the name?
Not just an ordinary Demonic Dragon, but Supreme (至高), an extremely hellish punk.
It was actually true.
It was horrifying, spine-chilling, to the extent that I wanted to drape the Concealment Veil and hide.
It went to the afterlife with a single gesture of the bike grandpa.
It was presumably the 90th floor boss the managers sent with difficulty by abusing their authority, but it just went 'who are you?' and then seo-geok, jjeo-eok! happened.
Half-split death. (t/n: Ban-gal-juk - internet slang)
Split in half and died.
With a very clean cross-section at that.
[Supreme Demonic Dragon Helcrassus De... feated. 1/1] [...90. ...You have succe... eded in the 89th floor mission.] [Your level has gone u... p.]
The system message is also a mess.
Whether it's an error, or whether it finds the half-split death absurd, or whether it's because of the grandpa rider who appeared tearing through empty space.
[Rewa... a, ard.......]
[An error has occurred.] [The Earth No. 675 Black Tower managers are currently absent. Reward and achievement judgments will be postponed.] [Normal clear rewards and achievement rewards will be given after the error is corrected.]
Messages popped up profusely, but Joo-hyuk didn't even pay attention.
Merely seeing only the old man riding the bike in the sky.
The other summoned entities were also deeply tense.
Cossack lost his words, Gobang broke out in cold sweat, Veronica was vigilant, and Bardin trembled quiveringly.
Rajix was gaping with his mouth wide open going ho-e, El was observing expressionlessly, and Mari also peeked at the old man out of the corner of her eye.
Not a single one opened their mouths.
Gwangma too, Mackenzie too, Tiamat too, Gepetto too.
Especially Gyeon Dal-rae.
Unlike the others, her expression was full of awe.
She was looking at the old man with her two hands clasped tightly as if praying.
Looking at Gyeon Dal-rae's eyes, he doesn't seem to be an evil person.
Something that appeared behind the old man's back.
The smartphone was moving as if it were a living bird.
That gentleman likes filming too.
Leaving the smartphone floating behind him like that and.
Bu-reung! Bu-reu-reung!
The bike descending from the sky.
I should greet him, right? Shall I express my gratitude, or do a grand bow? Shall I just send him applause filled with sincerity?
That person is a transcendent.
A being that is not defined as a summoned entity.
So he might have absolutely no relation to the three principles of summoned entities.
In other words, if things go wrong, the people here might also suffer a half-split death like that Supreme Demonic Dragon.
The bike landed on the ground.
The old man getting off the saddle with a cool pose.
And then carefully examining Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities surrounding him and.
He slightly frowned his glabella.
Even shaking his head left and right and clicking his tongue.
'He shouldn't be though.'
My dry saliva swallowed itself automatically.
The old man's gaze wandered here and there and.
Finally seeing Joo-hyuk and.
While letting out an exclamation.
"The Great Hero is......?"
"Ah! Hello. I'm Bong Joo-hyuk."
"You were Great Hero Bong. This Daoist holds the undeserved title of Sword Immortal (劍仙)." (t/n: Daoist - formal self-address for Daoist monks; Great Hero (Daehyeop) - honorable title for a martial artist; Sword Immortal - a being who reached immortality through swordsmanship)
If it's Immortal (仙)?
'You were a Shenxian (Daoist Immortal).'
A mythical being of eternal youth and immortality who attained enlightenment in Daoism.
If it's a Shenxian, they can unconditionally be called a transcendent.
But why is a Shenxian wearing clothes like this?
As if knowing Joo-hyuk's thoughts, the Sword Immortal smiled and.
"The Immortal Realm (仙界) where this Daoist lives is peculiar. It developed greatly by exchanging civilization and culture with Earth. There are theaters, shopping malls, amusement parks; you can consider that we have everything."
Isn't the Immortal Realm (仙界) the place where Shenxians live?
But the secular, Earth civilization was transplanted there?
How does that happen?
"Why are you so surprised? When Great Hero Bong is also equipped with dimensional travel abilities."
How does he know that too.
"Would there be no people equipped with such abilities in our world?"
Hearing that, it makes sense.
If it's that, it's possible.
Exchanges between worlds.
'It means the Immortal Realm and the Earth of another world exchanged with each other.'
A parallel universe, meaning the civilization and culture of a certain Earth were transmitted over there.
So that's why the Shenxian can ride a bike.
If Earth No. 675 hadn't been ruined and remained intact right off the bat, exchange with Joo-hyuk's Earth No. 1,001 would have been possible.
"How come a precious Shenxian-nim came to such a shabby place?"
"I came because you called. Originally, this Daoist's personality is such that he doesn't refuse when anyone calls."
"Thank you so much. I survived thanks to you. I owe you a great favor."
The Sword Immortal waving his hand at the belated greeting of gratitude and.
"Even calling it a favor, isn't it all because we have a connection that things turned out this way? Besides, taking care of this kind of monster punk doesn't even amount to an after-meal snack."
My goodness, how modest.
"Excuse me, by any chance, from which numbered Earth did you come from?"
"Eung? Earth is Earth, what number would there be. No matter how much of a parallel universe it is."
Numbering parallel universes is something only the manager punks do.
"Is there a Black Tower there too?"
"Are you talking about this sinister space?"
"There isn't. If there had been, I would have smashed it long ago."
After conversing, he seems to be a good person.
However, the summoned entities are still unable to approach closely and.
Is it because he's a transcendent?
If we spend a lot of time together, we might get close.
However, the short time of 10 minutes.
Eou, there's only 5 minutes left.
"Sword Immortal-nim."
"Please speak, Great Hero Bong."
"If it's okay with you, how about staying here for a few days......."
"This Daoist also wishes to do so, but that's difficult. Even if I go outside, this world will push me out."
I don't know if it will work but.
Joo-hyuk took out a residency permit from his inventory and handed it to the Sword Immortal.
The Sword Immortal, observing it for a moment, shaking his head.
"This card has a power that binds a soul to a specific space."
A Shenxian is certainly a Shenxian.
"However, this Daoist's soul cannot be bound, how could it even be possible in the first place!"
How can you force a transcendent's soul?
If forced, they aren't a transcendent.
"Well, I can accept it if I insistently wished to stay but."
Meaning it does work.
"I politely invite......."
"As I said earlier, if I go outside, the laws of the world will become distorted. As you know, isn't this Daoist not an ordinary human?"
You are a Shenxian-nim.
"And I'm also busy. There are many people looking for me here and there. Hahaha."
Since he refuses like this, I can't persuade him any further and.
"Anyway Great Hero Bong, this Daoist has a favor to ask."
"P-please, speak whatever it is. Whatever it is!"
I must oblige unconditionally.
I was contemplating how to repay the favor anyway.
"Uh-uh, do you happen to have things like tidbits eaten on Earth?"
When you say tidbits.......
"That is correct. Snacks."
You said it's an Immortal Realm that exchanged with Earth.
Are there no snacks or food?
"Even though the Immortal Realm shopping mall sells Earth food, it is extremely expensive. Saying the shipping costs are colossal."
Even right now, the price of a beverage sold at the bottom of a mountain and one sold at the top of the mountain differs.
Since they're crossing dimension to dimension, it's bound to cost a lot.
"In your subspace, the snacks we eat are in there, right?"
"Great. Please take them all out."
Joo-hyuk witnessed it.
The shadow of desire reflecting in the Sword Immortal's eyes.
Rajix started taking out items.
One bag each of candies and jellies, 3 chocolate bars, 5 canned beverages, a few bags of bread.
Why is there only this much?
"Is this everything?"
No, Rajix usually carries his subspace packed full of at least snacks but.
"Who ate all the snacks?"
Turning his head and looking at the summoned entities.
Gobang, and Cossack, subtly avoiding Joo-hyuk's eyes.
I can't say anything over food either.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh! This much?"
The Sword Immortal rejoicing while trembling his hands.
"This is a new product chocolate. With pistachios inside."
"An Immortal of the Immortal Realm that this Daoist knows squandered his fortune buying this chocolate, he's currently in the state of a beggar."
Just how expensive is a mere single chocolate?
"May this Daoist have it?"
"Ayu, I must give it to you."
"Kkeol-kkeol-kkeol, it was worth coming here."
The simple Shenxian-nim.
Suddenly feeling pitiful.
"Haa, if only I had more time, I would have bought you much more."
"Heo-heo-heo, this much is suffici......."
"I could even set up a shopping mall for you entirely."
Jjong-ggeut! (t/n: twitching ears sound)
The Sword Immortal's ears twitching.
"B, by any chance, Great Hero Bong, are you rich?"
"Heok! You are a precious gentleman."
"Ey, don't mention it, but someone said it. That I'm the richest person in the world."
His ears twitch again.
The reaction is immediate.
Does he like secular things?
He seems to have considerable material greed despite being a Shenxian and.
"I'd also like to buy you a new motorcycle."
Jjong-ggeut! Jjong-ggeut!
"Custom-produced, as the one and only motorcycle exclusively for Sword Immortal-nim. All I have to do is make a phone call."
Jjong-ggeut! Jjong-ggeut! Jjong-ggeut.......
The Sword Immortal's ears twitching ceaselessly.
"Huu, my heart is certainly moved, but this Daoist is a heterogeneous existence. If I stay in reality, I'm worried the world might be endangered so......."
"The house I live in is a place separated from reality."
"When you say separated?"
"It's a completely novel space. You can consider it similar to here."
"Heo-eo, such a place?"
"You can still use the internet though. Using electricity is also possible."
"Internet is possible too?"
"Watching TV too. You can also watch movies as much as you want."
He looks like he's going to fall for it.
"Would you like to go for a moment and check?"
"Heu-eum. Come to think of it, it is a bit regrettable for this Daoist to leave just like this too."
"Shall I force myself and stay a bit longer....... About one week?"
"I will not make you regret it."
"...It's not necessarily because I'm greedy for a new bike."
Fully mobilizing the flattery skills acquired from Cossack regularly.
"Ayu, I know it too, sir. As a Shenxian-nim who has transcended the secular world and attained immortality, how could you be a gentleman who is moved by such mere material greed? Such an impressive gentleman like you, it's something I feel the more I look at you, but you are truly the paragon of a Shenxian-nim, sir."
Joo-hyuk handing over the residency permit.
The Sword Immortal subtly extending his hand to receive it.
Seu-seuk, seu-seu-seu-seuk, seu-seuk.
Letters were engraved on the back of the card.
- White Tower Temporary Resident : Sword Immortal -
Seems like he can't stay permanently.
Let's quickly escort him and go home.
Before going, a silent tribute to Unit 2.
Since our Unit 2 also shot an incredible video.
I can just disclose it later.
Taeng, tae-aeng! Paeng-geu-reu-reu-reu.
The half-split corpse of the Supreme Demonic Dragon Helcrassus.
Seu-seut, seu-seu-seu-seu-seu-seut.
Rajix putting it in whole.
And collecting the Gigant which melted and almost lost its shape, the Demonic Sword, and the shield too.
The Sword Immortal staring at that sight as if fascinated.
'Iya! As expected of our frugal dimensional farmhand.'
They say the rewards are postponed too, so we should at least pack those.
