Episode 93 – The Knight of Perfection (2)
Lee Kyung-bok stared blankly at the message for a moment.
'News on the remaster? My name is mentioned? Suddenly?'
The news that Choi Byung-hoon relayed was too big to be understood all at once. However, because the scale was so big, the news spread quickly.
-Muchin! Dark Rune Remaster!
-Huh? What the hell?
-It's on the official YouTube channel!
-Wow lol Purple Channel introduced
-Personal! Personal! Personal! Personal! Personal! Personal! Personal!
-What is it?
-Fromm recognized Gotple?
-Elden's only sword is becoming a monthly thing lol
-Ah haha I gritted my teeth and made a monthly payment
-Gotple recognized by the world? I can't stand this lol
-Is Purple Coin a good thing?
-Huh! Congratulations!
-Where did Najax Purple go? ㅠㅠ
-It was awesome from the start, but I'm so touched lol
A chat that spreads like wildfire in the chat window.
Lee Gyeong-bok felt happy but also a sense of crisis.
“Thank you so much for the congratulations! But you’re not watching my broadcast right now, are you? You’re watching the presentation video, right?”
Although it was very good news, he had to prevent viewers from leaving. Laughter spread through the chat window at his comment.
-Ah haha of course not (sore!)
-Really ㅋㅋ I can only watch Godple Live now, so why do I watch Qtube?
-Tsudul, turn on both Try and Qtube and leave?
-Those who are just single-core, just turn on the try in good conscience.
– Seriously lol, don't play multiplayer unless you have an octacore like Godple.
-I like playing with Gotple more!
Fortunately, the number of viewers did not change much. Rather, the number of viewers increased even at late hours, perhaps because their names were mentioned.
'There's nothing we can do about it.'
Unlike chatting, there was no way to stop them from paying attention to the broadcast. Lee Kyung-bok lightly clapped his hands to get their attention.
“Then I will trust you and go back. Let’s finish from the ending and watch the presentation video together.”
Lee Kyung-bok's words were thrown out without much thought, but they caused quite a stir in the chat room.
-Watching videos with Godple? I can't stand this lol
-If this happens, I have no choice but to turn off YouTube right away!
-Are we going to do a Gotpl reaction video?
-Want to watch it together? Are you a broadcasting genius?
-I'm watching the broadcast again here lol
-Ah haha, part 3 suddenly appeared?
Lee Kyung-bok didn't really intend to make a video, but he didn't bother explaining it.
He continued the cutscene that had been paused for a moment.
“Broken one.”
Alicia's voice was heard through the darkened screen. Soon, it began to brighten and the scenery was revealed.
People were moving busily in the inner courtyard where there had been no sign of life. Among them, Alicia was looking around at the people.
“A lot of time has passed since that day, since you disappeared.”
Through her narration, Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers were able to infer the situation.
“Oh, it looks like Alicia is sending a letter to the protagonist.”
-Yeah, I guess so
-Some time has passed.
-Is it like it expresses the player leaving after the ending?
-Oh lol, is Fromm's brain rolling again?
-How could you leave my side!
Alicia found the forest keepers' golems that had been suspended throughout the castle. Reanimated by her magic, they began to carry out their original duties of managing the growth of crops.
“Humans are still in danger, but they are still trying.”
Suddenly she turned her head. A question mark appeared in the chat window, as no one could hear anything but Alicia's voice.
Soon, my vision changed and I saw the figure of a fallen person. And black runes engraved on it.
“Dark runes, signs of the dead. Perhaps this has something to do with you.”
As the terrified people retreated, Blondeau and the knights arrived in their midst.
“Blondo and the Knights are faithfully carrying out their duty. To protect everyone, unlike before.”
The knights grabbed the fallen man and carried him away. Alicia had a bitter expression on her face, but she didn't stop them.
-If it were in the past, it would have been an immediate execution lol
-Wow ㅋㅋㅋ Seeing Dark Rune appear really makes me realize that it was a prequel
-In the meantime, Knight Commander Shhh, haha. Look how his expression has softened.
-He was a total stern man in the Orthodox route, lol.
As Alicia headed towards the inner castle entrance, the desolate village where the dead had wandered disappeared, replaced by people holding various tools and working hard on construction projects.
“Aiden said that silence is for humanity, but I think differently. Change comes from action.”

Soon, the view became higher and higher. A panoramic view of the kingdom, as if from a bird's eye view.
“Broken one, can you hear me?”
Alicia's voice also gradually fades away.
“Please come back anytime.”
Soon, the view shifts from the earth to the sky, towards the golden sun.
“The human era is an era created by human hands, I will show you.”
Soon, the surrounding vision darkened and the sun transformed into the brilliantly shining Elden Soul.
[Elden Soul]
Soon, the background darkened and the game logo emerged.
That brought the curtain down on the grand finale.
“It’s a lingering ending.”
The chat window also agreed with Lee Kyung-bok's comment.
-Ugh… This is the ending
-There was no such thing as being sweet and loving with Nunaㅠㅠ
-Unfortunately, Dark Rune will be a disaster again.
-Ah haha don't spoil it!
-Is King Chiman a dark fantasy?
-If it's a remaster, will the story be a bit different?
-Ah, I don't know about that! It's the invincible ticket!
['Wolkldeunggeuk' donated '50,000' won.]
[Thank you, Wolksmer, for playing King God Soul!]
['Duno Purple?' donated '100,000' won.]
[Now I can just say doyounopurple on reddit, right? Mom? Right?]
['Doyouknowclub' donated '500,000' won.]
[Hello. This is the Doyounoclub judging panel. Purple, your membership has been approved.]
['Broken' donated '200,000' won.]
[Ah lol it was my wallet that broke]
Support pouring in as if it had been waiting.
Now that we've reached the ending, the sponsorship restrictions have been lifted.
“Thank you! However, I have a lot of sponsorship pending right now. I will check it a little differently, so please understand.”
The number of viewers has now exceeded 10,000. Even if only 10% of them support, there will be over 1,000 messages of support.
Accordingly, Lee Kyung-bok changed the settings so that eight sponsorship message windows would appear simultaneously.
-What the heck lol
-What is simultaneous processing of sponsorship messages!
-Ah, this is the perfect thank you.
-Octacore utilization is crazy lol
-Hey, my eyes are rolling back again lol
-Eyes! Those eyes!
-If another smurf did that, they'd probably swear at him and say, "What kind of crazy thing is that?" lol
-Really lol since it's purple you can see everything
If this had happened on another show, it would have been worse than not doing it at all. However, since viewers had already witnessed Lee Kyung-bok's multitasking ability, they were able to accept it cheerfully.
“Okay, then shall we go watch the presentation video together?”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled brightly, closed the game, and opened Q-Tube. A huge screen filled his eyes as if he had rented a movie theater.
“You said this was the official From Studio channel?”
-Yes! That's right!
-Sit down! Everyone sit down!
-Ah haha the movie theater atmosphere is really good
-The person in front with a big head, please bow down!
-Who turned on Smart Link?!
-Huh? Is that my seat?
-Oh, there are a lot of seats, so just sit anywhere.
-What is a phone booth? LOL
When I accessed the channel through a search, I saw the latest video. As soon as I started the video, a man greeted the camera.
He introduced himself as the developer representative and began to explain happily. Of course, since the broadcast was in Japanese, Lee Kyung-bok had no choice but to focus on the subtitles.
<The decision to remaster Dark Rune was made around the time Elden Souls development was finalized.>
The representative said so and then quickly frowned.
<We thought a lot about how to convey this exciting news to our players. After much discussion, we decided that it would be best to reveal it at the point when you, the protagonist, realize that this is a prequel to Dark Rune.>
Lee Kyung-bok let out a small sigh at that explanation.
“Wow, you were really monitoring my broadcast?”
This was something that had already come up in the Team White meeting. Now I finally know the detailed reason.
-Really ㅋㅋ As expected, it was revealed after watching the Godple broadcast
-Wow! This is Wolcl!
-I'm so proud lol
-In the meantime, what's the consistency of the main character = player? ㅋㅋㅋ
-That's Fromm's stubbornness lol
-This kind of stubbornness, maybe it's not a bad thing?
-The best game company and the best gamer have met!
Viewers also did not hide their satisfaction.
<So we left open the route to finding Elden Soul regardless of the ending. And we waited for the right time. It took longer than expected, but finally one player figured it out.>
The representative smiled brightly and looked into the camera.
<This is a streamer from Korea named 'Perfect Play'.>
As soon as Lee Kyung-bok's channel name was mentioned, the chat window started to go crazy.
-Wow ㅋㅋㅋ I can see your sincerity in trying to read it word by word like Korean ㅋㅋㅋ
-Really ㅋㅋ I thought you were just going to say Perkupectofure ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's polite to pay this much attention, lol
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ They stuffed it so blatantly
-Mchddmchng!
-Is the World Class stuffed animal gone now?
-Hehehe! You can't run away now!
-Ah haha Godple, now I have to broadcast until I die! Anyway, I have to do it!
Lee Kyung-bok couldn't help but laugh at the sight of viewers rejoicing as if it were their own story.
<Surprisingly, the route this person took was the most difficult route we prepared as a last resort. However, ironically, it was the first to be released.>
In the meantime, the representative continued his explanation. His voice was also excited, as if he was happy to hear the news.
<The moment we saw his play, we knew, 'This is the guy!' The entire development team was unanimous. That's why we recorded the announcement video in advance.>
-Kono Hitonara Yarunda!
-What's the tension? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I had so much fun watching it at Prom too ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha, you can't not know it if you watch the game
-Oh, that's right lol. You recorded the video on purpose to match the release date.
-Unanimous, you're crazy lol
The representative bowed his head again.
<Thank you for letting me share the news of the remaster once again. Also, I have something for Perfect Play who helped me with this.>
At his subsequent words, Lee Kyung-bok let out a small sigh, and the viewers had question marks floating around in their minds.
'Oh, so that's why I got that email.'
-What? What are you implying?
-The Big Thing is coming! The Big Thing is coming! The Big Thing is coming!
-Isn't it the first time that Big Thing makes a big ding?
-Huh? No way?
-Is this the same case as Eclipse?
Soon, a knight character appeared on the screen. A name written in Chinese characters was above the character, and its interpretation was immediately displayed in the subtitles.
<'The Perfect Knight'>
Along with that, another 'Eclipse Knight' was added right next to him. Then the representative's voice was heard.
<Just like the commemorative character for Eclipse in the previous Elden Kingdom, an NPC character will be added to Elden Soul to commemorate Perfect Play.>
The chat window shook again as the truth that had been a mystery became certain.
-F*ck, what am I looking at?
-What the heck are Perfect Knights!
-You're doing taxidermy here again?
-Are you a taxidermist, not a developer? LOL
-What is this? Is this a world-class hidden camera?
-You said we got caught? Hurry up and show the camera!
-Ah haha if it's Elden's only sword then it's worth stuffing
<Of course, since he is a commemorative character, he doesn't have any special functions. However, if you talk to him, he will tell you some interesting stories.>
As the representative spoke, the screen focused on the article on perfection.
And then, surprisingly, in the video.
<I've never been caught in a trap.>
<Did you know that the dragon has reverse scales?>
<The easiest way to get out of a maze is to make your own path.>
<No matter how big it is, in the end it is just a sword.>
Lee Kyung-bok's voice flowed out.
The dialogue uttered by the NPC, the Knight of Perfection, demonstrated his achievements.
-Yikesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Deception in-game too?
-The character identification is so clear ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-As expected, this is the Wolcl developer.
-Ah haha now you don't have to worry about replenishing the spread
-No, that's farmed so the quality is lower than wild.
-The form is okay lol
-It doesn't meet the deception level, lol
-It's cute how Godple's eyes have gotten rounder ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-An unimaginable celebration, huh!
-I couldn't even surprise Aiden, but I'm surprised here ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I never thought you would do this much.
Lee Kyung-bok's surprised expression provided a different kind of fun to the viewers.
Then the characters disappeared and the representative's face appeared again. He smiled brightly and clapped his hands.
<Coincidentally, both Elden Kingdom and Elden Soul have Korean players as commemorative characters. I think this shows that Korea is indeed a gaming powerhouse. Then, we will come back with more good news. Thank you!>
The atmosphere in the chat room became even more heated with the closing remarks.
-Korean? (Nodding)
-Is this K-gamer or something?
-Ah hahaha the nationalistic tow trucks are going to cause trouble again
-'[Breaking News] K-gamer that made America go crazy and shook the Japanese archipelago! Even game companies bowed their heads in confusion'
-CrazyㅋㅋㅋThe thumbnail came out right away
-Are you a current tow truck driver?
-I can't help but think this is a rice cake dishㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok said with an embarrassed smile while looking at the chat window that was quickly popping up.
“This is so strange. It wasn’t even that difficult to commemorate like this.”
His words were replaced by countless question marks in the chat.
-Ah haha this is natural!
-Hmm! As expected, it's on a whole different level from the Western style!
-At this point, it should be labeled with a HACCP mark.
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ What the heck ㅋㅋㅋ
-(Purple Dojangcone)(Purple Dojangcone)(Purple Dojangcone)
-Beware of fakes, just in case!
-I can't keep up with the only level of deception lol
Lee Kyung-bok immediately closed the YouTube channel after seeing the viewers who were satisfied. When the surrounding scenery returned to its original state, the viewers also felt it intuitively.
“Okay, that’s all for today’s broadcast. Thank you for watching, and I’ll be back with a more fun broadcast! Tva!”
-You worked hard today!
-The commercials in part 1 were good, the ending in part 2 was good, and watching part 3 together was crazy!
-Is there a show more interesting than this?
-(tvacon)(tvacon)(tvacon)
-Oh really ㅋㅋ How do I watch other broadcasts?
-I miss youㅠㅠ
-Whoa! Today was a legend too!
-It was truly a historic day in the broadcasting industry ㅋㅋㅋ
-Bye!
Lee Kyung-bok ended his broadcast amidst everyone's cheers.
* * *
Early morning.
Elden Soul's largest community, 'Elsometa'. There were many other communities, but today, most people gathered here.
There is one reason for this.
It was thanks to Metagamer's quick special feature article. The content, like that of other gaming webzines, was news of a remaster of 'Dark Rune'.
But there was another reason for gathering people together.
[-I saw a metagamer burning a godple coin right away lol]
[-It was a godsend that I had interviewed you in advance]
[-The reporter who conducted the interview seems to have turned his life around]
[-Thank you to everyone who came to see Purple's interview! Me first, lol]
Attached to the bottom of the special article is a live interview video with Purple. It was exclusive content that could not be found in other webzines.
[I'm really jealous of high-end capsules]
[Godful Dark Rune Remaster Play Origin Day 1]
[When will the perfect article be updated?]
[From, give me the Godple Voice Pack!]
Meanwhile, fans who had already seen the video were sharing their enjoyment in the community.
Meanwhile, someone posted something new.
[Do you know purple?]
[Only the title of the overseas webzine article was taken
1. 'Europlayer' (UK)
<Dark Rune Remaster, Who is the Perfect Play?>
2. 'IGM' (USA)
<Dark Rune Remastered Revealed with Korean Streamers>
3. 'Gotaku' (USA)
<Dark Rune is back. And From Studios introduces Elden Soul's 'Perfect Knight'.>
4. '4Gameplay' (Japan)
<ダークルーンリマスターが発表! Let’s do it again!>
<Dark Rune Remaster Announcement! The Masterpiece is Resurrected!>
I really ended up joining the Godple Doyouknowclubㅋㅋㅋㅋ
From now on, Doonoper is official]
The Elden series was a popular game worldwide, and its predecessor, Dark Rune, was no exception.
As such, gaming webzines around the world have been reporting on the remaster of Dark Rune. It was only natural that Purple would be included in the content.
[-Wow lol England blatantly gave it a purple name]
[But they were like that back then too lol]
[Are ㄴ이클 and 푸레플 the same?]
[What's the difference?]
[Nsfw it's so different lol]
[ㄹㅇㅋㅋI'm a streamer with 12 years of experience and a streamer with 1 month of experience]
[Isn't it too easy to catch up with a 144-month career in just 1 month?]
[It's not that Ikle is bad, it's that Purple is too awesome]
[-Wow ㅋㅋㅋ If this was even news, the Yankee Wreckers would have uploaded reaction videos by now]
[N Reaction to announcement videos is a national rule]
[Wow lol then won't the name of Godple be known there too?]
[That's why it's called Wolcl!]
[Please tell me some purple theme stocks! Urgent! Please!]
[What kind of theme is this lol]
[-In the meantime, why do the Japanese people leave out the name of the god?]
[Isn't that King Lee's god?]
[If you look at the content, it only says streamer, without the name?]
[Nah haha I'm just going to tell you the truth]
[But didn't you already say that the representative is Korean?]
[But I don't understand that neighborhood. It's obvious that the far right will cause trouble.]
[Really lol If it wasn't a developer at the level of Fromm, it would've been bombed right away]
But there was no festival that lasted forever. As time passed and the excitement died down, people regained their composure.
[Godfly won't be playing Elden Soul anymore, right?]
[If you want to play Godple's Elden Kingdom, I highly recommend it ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Aren't you going to do a full Elden series?]
[The smell of the Elbungs riding the happiness circuit is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
Some expressed hope, but most expected it not to happen.
Now, Purple's Elden Soul is over. Unlike Eclipse, who only delves into one game, isn't he a comprehensive game streamer?
[It's right to send it directly, lol]
[At this point, wouldn't all the Eltaks have become Buddhas?]
[Ah, if you show off and end up falling out, it'll be a loss!]
[If you do Elkrit, it's really over]
[Ah haha I'll come back when the dark rune comes out]
The community's conversation soon turned to the pros and cons of demanding a prequel. However, there was one thing both sides agreed on.
[Purple, there is no other Elden sword!]
[Go! How can you disobey Elden's only sword decision!]
[Dongdo of the martial arts world! Maintain peace while waiting for the return of Dark Only Sword!]
Elden's Only Sword, Purple.
The fact is that no player surpasses him and that in the end, everyone will follow his decisions.
* * *
The next day.
“Umm… … ”
Lee Kyung-bok woke up with a pleasant sigh. But the place he woke up was not in bed.
'It's worth the money.'
After the broadcast, I tried sleeping in a high-end capsule as a demonstration. It was to test the muscle massage function, which was the most important among the convenience features.
'I slept really well.'
The massage was adjusted so as not to disturb sleep, linked to the capsule's system that checked the body's condition.
Lee Kyung-bok came out of the capsule with a smile. Before his morning exercise, he first looked for the smart link.
The first thing I checked was the YouTube channel. I wanted to see if the video had been uploaded overnight and what the response was like.
"……uh?"
Lee Kyung-bok's eyes opened wide as he looked at the hologram.
'It increased by 70,000 in 6 hours?'
The number of subscribers has now reached 670,000.
But there was something even more surprising than that.
“Why are there so many of these?”
The most recently uploaded ending story video revealing that Elden Souls is a prequel to Dark Rune had an unusual number of views.
“3 million… … ?”
There were other videos that were not small, but not to this extent. Moreover, it was not ordinary for the number of views to exceed 3 million in just 5 hours after uploading.
Lee Kyung-bok clicked on the video as if he was possessed. Since he knew the content, his eyes immediately turned to the comment window at the bottom.
“Over 5 thousand?”
My mouth fell open involuntarily.
The comments section wasn't just written in Korean.
There were comments in English, but also in what appeared to be French or German, which use the same alphabet. There were also Japanese and Russian comments, and, to a very small extent, Arabic letters.
Lee Kyung-bok blinked and pressed the automatic translation button.
[-I just watched the official video. You are an amazing player!]
[-I had no idea there was an ending like this. I was touched.]
[-The perfect article is not a lie. I have looked into your activities.]
[-Hey, bro! You're crazy!]
[-You are a Korean among Koreans]
[-Looking forward to the Dark Rune Revised Edition activities]
Although it was an awkward translation, the meaning was easy to understand. Lee Kyung-bok felt bewildered, but a smile appeared on his face.
'I was a servant.'
Although it might have been burdensome to receive the attention of people all over the world, it actually filled me with joy and motivation.
He went back up the scroll he had been scrolling down. The comment that Choi Byeong-hun had pinned to the top caught his eye.
Unlike other foreign language comments, it was written in familiar Korean. And the account of the person who wrote the comment was even more familiar.
[Eclipse]
[Hello, Purple Lord!
I heard some amazing news from my friends during the night.
The news is that the historical work that made me dream of becoming a knight is being re-released!
Moreover, my joy is doubled when I learn that the slope was caused by Purple's activities!
It is an honor to just cross swords with you, but it would be even happier to be able to express my gratitude to you!
I would like to express my sincere respect and admiration.
I hope we can continue to have a good relationship in the future!]
It was a thank you comment from Eclipse. As a die-hard fan of From Studio, he was clearly happier about this news than anyone else.
While Lee Kyung-bok was thinking about whether to reply to that, a call notification came with a loud vibration and the hologram began to shake.
"hello?"
<Hey, Kyungbok! Are you awake?>
“Of course I woke up, so I answered the phone.”
The person on the phone was Genome.
Lee Kyung-bok answered with a laugh.
<No, I was just wondering if I woke you up. Anyway, congratulations! You hit the jackpot.>
“Yeah. I’m a little confused.”
<Just be dumbfounded and that's the end?>
I could hear Genome's laughter over the phone.
<Wow, you really are brave. You really are brave. How can you be so calm in a situation like this?>
“It still doesn’t feel real, I guess.”
<The number of views is now over 3 million, no, over 3.1 million. How can it not feel real? Honestly, it feels amazing, right?>
“Oh, that’s obvious.”
There was no reason to hide it. Aren't you already on the phone with a smile on your face?
“But bro, isn’t it time now? Didn’t you broadcast yesterday?”
<No, I did.>
“You were waiting all this time to congratulate me, weren’t you?”
<Of course. If you didn't know because you were sleeping, then you wouldn't know, but if you do know, then you should congratulate me. As for sleep, you can just sleep more later.>
Considering the time of Genome's broadcast, it was a time when fatigue was weighing on my body. Still, I couldn't help but be grateful that he waited until I got up to congratulate me.
“Thank you. How are you these days, hyung?”
<Nothing much has happened yet. There hasn't been any word from the Gunner Ground event yet.>
“Has the schedule not come out yet?”
<I heard from somewhere that it's going to take a little longer to adjust the event NPCs?>
Those words made Lee Gyeong-bok feel a sting for a moment.
'Does it have anything to do with handing over my data?'
Genome had no way of knowing that fact. Lee Kyung-bok had no reason to tell him either.
After a brief chat, we were about to end the call.
<Oh, and Gyeongbok.>
"uh."
Lee Kyung-bok suddenly remembered.
The genome.
<If it's okay, can I make some analysis content based on your final boss fight?>
This means that he is a man who knows how to read the times.
