Luma leaned over again, watching the glowing branches on Seojun’s skill tree.
“Alpha Bond… Pack Link…” he read quietly.
“Damn, this game really lets you build anything.”
Seojun nodded, scrolling through the options while the chat window kept flooding with messages.
Viewer1: GO PACK BUILD
Viewer2: NO ALPHA BUILD FOR BIG MONSTERS
Viewer3: JunX get the behemoth
Luma suddenly froze for a second.
Then he slowly looked at Seojun.
“Uh… JunX?”
Seojun kept scrolling.
“Yeah?”
“You realize something, right?”
Seojun glanced at him.
“What?”
Luma pointed toward the floating chat window.
“You’re showing your entire skill tree… to the entire internet.”
Seojun paused.
The chat kept flying by.
Viewer4: BUILD GUIDE LIVE
Viewer5: EVERYONE TAKE NOTES
Seojun was about to respond when a new system message appeared.
Tournament Protection System Active
Both of them blinked.
A small explanation window opened.
To preserve competitive integrity, the following systems are enabled during the tournament:
• Viewer chat messages are delayed and filtered before appearing to players.
• Cross-stream information sharing is blocked by AI moderation.
• Real-time map positions are hidden from broadcasts.
• Players cannot receive external messages outside the tournament network.
Luma leaned closer.
“…Whoa.”
Seojun read the rest.
Streams shown to the public are delayed and partially masked.
Only the player sees full HUD information.
Luma started laughing.
“So the audience sees a slightly delayed version of what we see?”
“Looks like it,” Seojun said.
“That’s actually genius.”
Another note appeared.
Chat messages attempting to reveal strategic information will be automatically blocked.
The chat window suddenly flickered.
Viewer4: The kingdoms players abilities are xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The message disappeared instantly.
Message removed by tournament moderation.
Luma pointed at it.
“Okay, that’s kinda scary.”
Seojun shrugged.
“Good for us though.” with that out of the way what’s your abilities
Luma opened his own skill panel.
His abilities glowed with a heavy purple light.
Gravity Manipulation
Stage 1 – Slightly increase or decrease gravity in a small area.
Two branches appeared.
Stage 2 Evolution Options
• Crushing Field – Increase gravity to pin enemies to the ground.
• Zero Field – Reduce gravity to launch enemies or objects.
Luma grinned.
“Oh this is gonna be fun but the rest is covered with roots”.
“So the goal is obvious.”
Seojun nodded.
“Level up.”
“Unlock evolutions.”
“And pick the right path.”
Another distant tremor rolled across the wasteland.
The Behemoth’s silhouette shifted along the horizon.
Seojun smiled slightly.
“And eventually…”
He pointed toward the distant giant.
“…we tame that.”
