The moment Seo-jun defeated Ettore, he lost control of his body, and a cutscene played.
“You hypocritical hound of the Assassin Brotherhood! I won't go alone like this!”
“!”
However, unlike Seo-jun, Dane, who was currently controlling his body, could not react immediately, and Ettore ran to the bedroom with a near-dead body and tore a certain parchment.
Kaboom!
A fierce explosion erupted nearby, and the atmosphere was red, looking as if it were burning.
“Damn it!”
When Dane checked outside the window, nearby buildings were exploding one after another, with flames and timber scattering.
And at this rate, next would be!
Shatter!
The moment Dane realized this, he threw his body through the window and escaped outside.
The screen showed Ettore laughing from behind.
Kaboom!
The moment Dane broke the window and jumped out, a massive explosion occurred behind him, and flames burned his back.
Eeeee!
By the time the tinnitus rang out and he began to regain his blurry focus with his face pressed against the grass.
“Over here! There's a terrorist here!”
From afar, blurrily, he could see soldiers flocking in.
Even in his dizzy state, Dane desperately stood up and began to run.
He tripped forward while climbing over the mansion's wall, then stood up again and went up to the rooftop.
A chase unfolded.
By the time the distance gradually widened and Dane's vision became clear, an arrow flying from behind lodged into his shoulder.
And subsequently, a magic spell that shot a fireball made a direct hit.
In the end, Dane, with a battered body, fell into the river beside him.
An unidentified someone watching that scene.
The soldiers saw him falling from the rooftop, judged him to be dead, and turned back.
And from there, the scene transitioned.
A man was blankly staring at the sea.
And as he stood up to head somewhere, a certain black figure washed up by the waves caught his eye.
The man gradually approached the figure and could notice that it was a corpse.
The man leisurely searched the corpse, took out a brooch engraved with a flying eagle—the symbol of freedom—from its breast pocket, and put it into his own pocket.
<><><>
After regaining freedom over his body, Seo-jun looked at the chat window first.
- The cutscene hasn't changed at all T_T
- Dane dies every single time
- How is looting a corpse the protagonist lololol
Then, he said what he had been wanting to say for a while.
“If it were me, I would have deflected the arrows and magic.”
- lololololololololol
- Ruining the emotion, crazy lolol
- It really seems like he would
“No, doing that with someone else's face is just too much.”
- Real lol
- He deserved to die lolol
After checking the reactions in the chat window, Seo-jun clapped his hands.
“Alright, so what should I do now?”
The place he was currently at was a tavern.
Christina, whom he had seen during the tutorial, was wiping a cup.
“No matter who looks at it, it seems like I should try talking to her...”
Seo-jun approached her.
As he got closer, the autoplay started once again.
“Customer? Do you need something?”
“Need something? Yes. Very much so.”
Christina showed a sign of vigilance, and Seo-jun took the brooch out of his pocket and slammed it onto the table.
Christina was startled and quickly took the brooch and hid it.
Then, she looked around to see if other customers had noticed, and after confirming that there was fortunately no particular reaction, she quickly took Seo-jun into the kitchen where only the two of them were.
“Who are you?”
“Calm down. I just came because I thought I could help.”
“What... does that mean?”
“I am confident in commissions. Especially assassinations.”
“...How much do you know?”
“Everything. I know all about the tedious history, the goals, and the battles between your Assassin Brotherhood and the Order who make up the social ruling class. Because I have fought against those guys of the Order in Sion before.”
“Could you perhaps be... a guy from the west?”
“That's right.”
“A mercenary who does anything as long as they are paid, then there is no way you would side with the Order. Fine, let's introduce ourselves. I am Christina.”
“I am...”
Seo-jun's mouth regained its freedom.
- Oh, is he finally choosing a nickname now?
- Was Jin Seo-jun really his streamer name as it was?
- A real name isn't bad either lol
Currently, Seo-jun's streamer name was his real name. It was because he had not set it separately.
Streamer names were diverse and free enough that he could have just used Kim Tae-woo like a friend, named it after a percussion instrument, or slightly modified a buzzword.
‘The most standard is a real name.’
He did not even know how long he would be doing this anyway, so what was the point of agonizing over it.
And his game nickname was.
“It's Mu-myeong.”
[Would you like to go with 'Mu-myeong'?]
It was a buzzword from his past life.
Mu-myeong.
Contrary to its meaning of having no name, it was an alias that seemed to have some weight to it, so it was highly popular in his past life.
[Yes]
“Alright, good, Mu-myeong.”
“How should I contact you when needed?”
“Wait, before that, I need to know where the owner of this brooch is.”
“I buried him at the west pier.”
“Is that so. Understood.”
Christina showed a calm reaction even after hearing the news of her colleague's death.
It seemed like a production choice that indirectly showed how easily a person could die in the line of work they were involved in.
[From now on, you can receive assassination commissions at the 'Tavern of the Sun'!]
“Use this to contact me.”
[You have acquired the 'Signal Stone'!]
Seo-jun received the item called Signal Stone and walked out of the tavern.
- Mu-myeong out of nowhere?
- Is the streamer's nickname going to be Mu-myeong from now on?
- How is a person's name Mu-myeong lololololol
“Ah, Mu-myeong is just my game nickname. But I haven't decided on a broadcast name yet, so I'll go with this for now. Call me whatever you want.”
[Jin Seo-jun - 6 viewers watching]
- Yep
- Seo-hi!
- Kya! Mu-myeong! That's a nickname that suits an assassin! GOAT!
“Now then! I will end the broadcast here. I will turn on the broadcast at the same time tomorrow. T- *cough*. T-bye.”
Seo-jun stuttered, finding it somewhat cringy to shout out 'T-bye'.
- lolololol cute
- T-bye
- I'll definitely come tomorrow.
“Uh, but does it save if I just leave?”
Games are very difficult in this aspect.
It was absolutely not because he was old.
- lolololol you said you were leaving
- You can just turn it off. For real.
- Ah, this newbie lolol anyone would think it's his first time playing a game
Flash!
<><><>
“Hey.”
“Yeah?”
“Is this you?”
[Video of a newbie, who is doing both streaming and gaming for the first time, parrying 13-to-1 to clear minor mobs and defeating Ettore for the first time in the universe in the tutorial (Seriously not fake)]
[Views: 750][Recommendations: 25]
Tae-woo clicked on his phone screen to check the video.
“Anyone can see that it's you.”
The place they entered was the Assassin's Dawn community.
The reason was because of a strange chat that had appeared in Seo-jun's chat window a moment ago.
- I should have come early, I can't believe I missed that lolol
Seo-jun, who was reviewing his broadcast, thought he had not seen such a chat during the broadcast, and when he checked the time the chat was posted, it was a few minutes after the broadcast had ended.
So he scrolled up the chat window.
- Is this the musou broadcast?
- Why is it turned off?
Aside from this, a number of similar chats had been posted.
Seo-jun was flustered.
Because there was no reason for people to visit even after the broadcast was turned off.
Of course, in the case of large, well-known streamers, people sometimes visited even when the broadcast was turned off.
But Seo-jun's broadcast was one that only six people had just watched.
So he had asked Tae-woo, who had ended his broadcast at a similar time, and found this post.
[Video of a newbie, who is doing both streaming and gaming for the first time, parrying 13-to-1 to clear minor mobs and defeating Ettore for the first time in the universe in the tutorial (Seriously not fake)]
=====
(Video of 1 vs 13)
(Video of the first clear of Ettore with musou play)
=====
A user named Joseon's Assassin had diligently clipped and posted it.
‘It's that viewer from back then.’
He was quite an impressive viewer.
From recognizing his skills early on to spamming the chat.
Seo-jun scrolled down the screen and examined the comments.
- Oh, damn, the title is fake from the start
- As expected, Joam is good at parrying lolol it's at a godlike level?
- Is this your first time playing a game? Have some conscience
But was his skill originally at this level?
It's not me. Mu-myeong-jwa did it. There is absolutely no fabrication in the title.
“How do you manage to get a first clear and gain a viewer who promotes you from the very first day? Amazing.”
Tae-woo said from beside him as if it were absurd while watching this.
“Promoting?”
“Yeah, what else would this be if not promoting?”
Tae-woo scrolled down the screen and highlighted a comment.
- It seems this bastard Joam changed his avatar to a slightly better one because he was broadcasting. His old face was seriously...
Sh*t lolol subtly dissing him
“Wait. No, not this one.”
- So who is he?
Go in here (channel link) quickly and watch. He's seriously insane.
- Is this really the first clear of Ettore?
Yes, he was a newbie who couldn't even climb walls properly.
Is that even possible, crazy
- Joam-nim, the 10,000-hour veteran of Assassin's Dawn. Please refrain from cosplaying as a newbie.
I said it's not me!
It was clearly directed at Joseon's Assassin, but Seo-jun momentarily felt a prick of conscience at the phrase 'cosplaying as a newbie'.
But since he was indeed a newbie to Assassin's Dawn, well.
- Wow, his skills are seriously insane
He just ended his broadcast (channel link). Watch the VOD at least. Mu-myeong-jwa is the hope of Musou!
Seo-jun understood what Tae-woo meant.
“So this is why they call it promoting?”
“Well, yeah. Your followers must have increased by now, right?”
Tae-woo's words were correct.
The followers, which had been six, had already exceeded sixty before he knew it.
[Followers: 68]
“Oh.”
“And it seems it will hit 30 recommendations soon. Then it will increase by a lot more. I'm going to sleep now.”
In the community, there was a function that could filter only the posts that received recommendations from more than 30 people on the bulletin board.
And because the majority of those who only lurked in the community mostly looked at the 30-recommendation posts, the difference in views between 10-recommendation posts and 30-recommendation posts was large.
“Yeah, sleep well.”
Seo-jun felt a sense of anticipation for some reason.
<><><>
The number of recommendations on the post written by Joseon's Assassin exceeded 30, just as Kim Tae-woo predicted.
And in the community, it caught fire, completely as usual.
- Newbie my foot, it's fake
How do you even fake it?
Does our friend not know what video editing is? Haha
Then are you saying a streamer with 6 viewers hacked the travel server? Damn, sh*t lolol that's more amazing than defeating Ettore?
People are so naive. You believe that at face value? Mu-myeong-jwa my foot, lol
[The reason why the 30-recommendation Mu-myeong-jwa video is fake]
Because I can't do it!
- Real lololol those bastards calling it fake are just jealous.
- But honestly, can't most professional players do that much?
These guys changed their repertoire. From 'it's fake' to 'anyone can do it'.
[The reason why Mu-myeong-jwa's video is legendary]
There are several reasons why veterans couldn't defeat Ettore for a week.
One is that in the setting, Dane is close to an ordinary person, so he cannot use skills.
That is why you have to play without skills even in the tutorial.
(The developers probably intended this)
Second, Ettore's weapon is a flail, which has no parry judgment.
In other words, there is no instant kill.
(But this is the same for most bosses. Instant kill is only possible through assassination.) Third is the time attack, which is actually the biggest problem.
Honestly, most veterans can do just fighting and holding out.
But dodging everything you need to dodge within 5 minutes while hitting only the same spot repeatedly?
Unless you perform stunts like in that video, it is impossible.
Before watching that video, most people thought it was impossible.
Because no one had properly succeeded in seeing how far the damage could be multiplied.
The pros are busy.
That streamer named Seo-jun, who caught it in one try, had insane skills.
In the first place, who grabs a flail from that distance, neutralizes all attacks, and cuts the neck?
But a newbie?
What on earth is he?
I was just full of admiration while watching.
He is truly a god of control.
Who on earth catches that and beats it up lolololololol
I subscribed immediately.
Anyway, now that I know it is at least possible to defeat Ettore, I'm going to go challenge it now (can't miss out on this), but honestly, I don't think I can do it.
The pros were busy, so he got the first clear. That guy named Seo-jun isn't that great.
This guy is seriously suffocating.
Just go watch the video once. He would easily outclass most pros.
Hyping it up so f*cking much. A pro just because of one first clear?
Analysis upvote
[Why make such a fuss about a first clear or whatever in the first place? lol People haven't even challenged it that much.]
This was definitely written by someone who has never played the game.
The forced hate is insane.
Seo-jun was called Mu-myeong-jwa under the influence of Joseon's Assassin and was talked about by various people, and in the end, people's conclusions converged into one.
[Honestly, upvote if you think Mu-myeong should turn on his broadcast right now and get verified lolol]
- It hasn't even been 3 hours since the broadcast ended.
Yeah, but I'm still going to hold my breath until he turns it on.
Absolutely do not turn on the broadcast.
If someone dies because the broadcast isn't turned on, it's only Mu-myeong-jwa's loss.

(This is an already deceased comment.)
Can someone please teach that bastard what loss means? lololol
