[Elysium: Classic]
[Legend Video Released!]
[Releasing footage containing the achievements of a Legendary Player!]
[Legend Movie: Player ‘Kylo’ Edition]
[Scheduled for Release]
[Time Remaining Until Release: 10 hours 31 minutes]
A single popup suddenly appeared on Elysium Online’s official site.
That popup completely ended every argument related to Kylo.
[What is a Legendary Player?]
[They are users who were registered in the original server’s ‘Hall of Fame’ for outstanding play!]
[On the original server, 20 users have been registered in the Hall of Fame each year! As of classic server launch day, there will be up to 200 Legendary Players!]
[To commemorate the achievements with which Legendary Players have brightened the original server until now, exclusive items will also be granted on the classic server!]
[In addition.......]
[Legendary Players’ gameplay in ‘Legendary Player Mode’ will be broadcast on the official YouTube as a ‘Legend Movie’!]
[※ The length and contents of a Legend Movie may vary depending on the relevant player’s settings.]
Through the official homepage, the existence of “Legendary Players” and their treatment, which most players had passed over without knowing, were all revealed.
Treatment even more exceptional than official streamers.
Unique items granted on the classic server, customized for each player.
Even the fact that official channels would broadcast footage of Legendary Players.
They were tremendous benefits that anyone invested in the game [Elysium Online] would drool over.
Because of that, there were users who criticized it, saying it gave excessive benefits to specific players.
However.
[They are users who were registered in the original server’s ‘Hall of Fame’ for outstanding play!]
[On the original server, 20 users have been registered in the Hall of Fame each year! As of classic server launch day, there will be up to 200 Legendary Players!]
Once it was revealed that Legendary Players were registered members of the “Hall of Fame,” people who belonged to the “highest-tier rankers,” with only twenty chosen per year,
criticism of their benefits decreased rapidly.
‘So they only give it to true server-top players?’
‘They were giving it because they deserved it.’
That was only natural. The conditions were far too strict.
It was an achievement on a completely different level from the “Title Hall of Fame,” where Kylo had obtained several entries this time.
In truth, even that Title Hall of Fame did not have easy conditions.
Elysium Online was a single-server game operated with only one server per country. Including the classic server, even if it was the first achiever of each title or achievement, there were only two people.
In theory, only two people on each national server.
And even then, the harsh conditions applied only to content such as titles, achievements, and boss subjugations of Legendary grade or higher!
However, even those difficult conditions could not compare to the real “Hall of Fame,” where only twenty people were nominated per year.
The ranks of the very best rankers within the top 0.1% of the game, commonly called the heavenly realm.
The players listed in this Hall of Fame were legends recorded as pages in the game’s history, surpassing even that class.
Therefore, the title “Legendary Player” was truly appropriate.
After all, it was a title honoring players who deserved to become legends of the actual game Elysium Online.
‘Ah, no wonder his movement was insane.......’
‘Wow, he really was a rotten old-hand to the core?’
‘This game is older than I thought.’
Therefore, most players moved beyond jealousy or envy and came to accept it as something from another world entirely.
[??? Isn’t that the guy everyone lost it over yesterday for hacks?]
└[Did you not see the community yesterday? The conclusion was that it wasn’t hacks lolol]
└[Go look at yesterday’s best posts again]
└[Whoa, what the hell happened in one day??;;]
[The bastards who kept howling “we still don’t know!!” even after he was proven innocent are completely gone now that the Legend Movie is public lololol]
[But what shows up in that Legend Movie?]
└[Who knows?]
└[Judging by yesterday’s eyewitness accounts, his playtime didn’t seem that long, so maybe it’ll show the 100-player PVP scene]
└[If it’s the 100-player war, that is a legend, fuck lololol]
└[Then the kids who watched the 100-player war live and saw all the clips already have nothing to see. Bummer]
└[Honestly, “that streamer” getting cut down three times in the 100-player war is more legendary]
└[Ahem! “That streamer”? Is Yang Pinpin, who got wrecked like a dog even though she’s an Elysium old-hand ranker and failed to recognize a Legend, your friend????]
└[OP, where do you live?]
└[And it wasn’t three times. It was four]
└[No, it was five]
└[Stop it, Pinpin Corps. You’re all going to die at this rate]
By the time awareness of Legendary Players had spread among Elysium users, centered around the communities.
[Legend Movie: Player ‘Kylo’ Edition]
[Release Started]
At last, Kylo’s Legend Movie was released.
Gameplay footage of a legend-class ranker, revealed without the slightest filtering.
[No, what is this?;;;]
[He’s breaking common sense from the start]
[You crazy bastards said that was an instant-death trap]
That footage gave Elysium’s players a massive shock.
First, from the opening section of the hidden quest, which had been considered impossible to clear.
[Ah! So you just dodge and pick up the weapon!]
└[And then you just avoid the Goblin Rider stalking you at level 1 and kill it!]
└[See? So easy, right?]
└[I haven’t tried that hidden route, so is it actually easy?]
└[No, no]
└[It’s easy when you say it lololol]
└[How the hell do you do that? The words come out right away lololol]
└[Forget picking up the item, I’d just roll around, get hit, and die lololol]
└[People said it was an instant-death section because your head gets smashed as soon as you go there. You can’t use evasion skills there, so you have to dodge with pure physical skill, and not lasting ten seconds is normal]
└[Guess they don’t know that yesterday, because people couldn’t do that, they all went crazy saying this was hidden-route bait and that they got baited by the hack-using bastard]
└[No, there were over 50 pages of best posts in one day. How am I supposed to read them all?]
└[That’s fair;;]
A dazzling performance in a section where proper information had not even circulated.
A hidden route concealed in the early-game section of a game that was ten years old had appeared. The longer someone had played Elysium, the greater this shock was.
And that was not all.
[His parries are seriously hack-level. They never miss]
[People screamed hacks over ten consecutive parries, but here he just keeps parrying, fuck lolololololol]
[Seriously, they fought that hard yesterday, and it was all just overreaction lololol]
The physical skill Kylo showed during play.
Every movement he made at level 1, without receiving correction from skills, was enough to shock every Elysium user.
[No, this is a section where he can’t even use skills, so how is he parrying???]
└[Parry does pop up even without skills if you time it really well]
└[Ah, really?? Is it something you can actually trigger?]
└[I said it does pop up. I didn’t say it’s something you can reliably aim for lolol]
└[That’s fucking insane. You can do that once or twice, but you can’t trigger it consecutively like that]
└[Then how did that LP do it?]
└[I don’t know, you fucker lololol]
└[Why are you saying mean things T_T]
└[Just mash lol and move on lololol]
└[But what is an LP?]
└[It’s LP because he’s a Legendary Player. Do you have dyslexia?]
└[Just call him a Legend, fuck]
It did not end there.
The hidden zone Kylo had entered as if it were nothing was a hidden element known only by a very small number of old rankers.
Because of that, most users had not expected the hidden boss of the tutorial zone, the [Medusius Serpent], to appear at all.
[No, the Medusius Serpent appears as a boss there??]
[So it wasn’t just in the cutscene background lolol]
[No, I’ve played Elysium since original closed beta, and this is seriously my first time seeing that lolololol]
└[Then wasn’t it added during the classic server?]
└[Maybe?]
└[I know a ranker, and they said you originally could enter that section like that]
And that was not all.
Kylo even killed that [Medusius Serpent], which users had never imagined fighting, at the same time as the [Gigantes Orc Warrior].
[That wasn’t just direction? You could actually kill it??]
[He killed two boss-tier monsters at the same time lololol]
[But do you know what? That was no-skill lolol]
[No, how the hell does that movement come out without skills????]
[Did they drag in someone from another world? lolol]
[What is this?? He’s fighting a player?]
[PVP???]
[Why is he suddenly doing PVP??]
└[Would you believe me if I said that’s the incident that blew up multiple boards yesterday because of the hack controversy???]
└[For real?? Why?]
└[Because the ten-chain parry came out there, and people went crazy asking if it was a parry hack]
└[Ah lololol]
After showing absurd PVE skill, the PVP footage began.
Although he was level 1 and could not even use skills, an overwhelming level of skill that had caused controversy was revealed.
[Ah, Pinpin Corps are such a nuisance]
[lololol I got filmed there]
└[Pinpin Corps caught]
[Are they fighting? They talked a lot, but only a short part came out]
└[Isn’t this the situation that blew up after the hack controversy because people said he baited them with hidden info? lolol]
└[That’s right lololol It burned all day yesterday]
└[Those idiots who didn’t believe the Legend lololol I seriously can’t wait to see how they react after watching the video lolol]
After that, he once again satisfied hidden quest conditions, obtained the [Requiem of the Battlefield] title for the first time on the classic server, and was recorded in the [Hall of Fame].
[Another hidden route????]
[What are with the ghosts, and what is with them attaining peace? lololol]
[Is that weapon effect real? He gets a Legendary there???]
[This seriously makes no sense. I’m an original-server old fart, and this is my first time seeing it]
└[There’s a reason people called it hacks, for real;;]
[No, Hall of Fame in one day after starting the game?]
└[This is the Title Hall, so it’s a little different]
[The quest quality is seriously insane too]
[J-shit, these crazy bastards lololol They hid this hidden route for ten years?]
└[They didn’t hide it. The difficulty was fucking insane, so everyone just didn’t do it lololol]
└[They really are bastards who refuse to directly lower difficulty even if it kills them]
Unable to stop admiring the overwhelming quality of the hidden quest that had been concealed, the users praised Elysium’s developer, Joysoft, as J-shit as usual.
Joysoft, which boasted game operations too unconventional for a major company, was often called “J-shit” by users.
The users claimed that they were simply shortening Joysoft quickly, but everyone knew the nickname J-shit had another meaning.
And lastly.
The PVP that had finally started after the conflict.
After a long battle, he cut down 100 players and ascended to the Hall of Fame with the [Massacrer] title.
[Yang Pinpin getting wrecked is preserved exactly as is lololol]
[No, but is this real? 100 kills???]
└[Since it showed him getting Massacrer, it’s confirmed lololol]
└[Massacrer’s condition is taking down at least 100 people in one battle]
[This is seriously insane]
[I can’t believe this happened while all kinds of communities were keyboard warring yesterday lololol]
└[For real lololol]
└[While the scrubs were keyboard warring, the “real one” was playing the game lolololololol]
[Is this the same game I’m playing???]
└[I thought the same thing lololol]
└[Cutting down 100 people makes no sense either, for real]
[Isn’t he really using hacks??]
└[As if it would be hacks when they’re even preserving it on the official homepage]
└[Yesterday, the report reply came out saying it wasn’t hacks after they even checked the logs]
└[For real, if there was even anything slightly fishy, they wouldn’t have uploaded the video]
└[Amazingly, the specs themselves are really just the basic performance without any correction. It’s the movement that’s insane]
└[The weapon itself seems broken too, since he pulled a Legendary grade at that level.]
└[Thanks. I’m going to go cut down all the bastards who trolled the board]
└[Ah lololololololol]
└[There were more than one or two bastards trolling yesterday lololol]
└[It does feel like he has hacks installed in his brain. How does he play the game like that??]
Every single achievement was absurd.
After the Legend Movie was released, all kinds of game communities spoke in unison about Kylo’s martial valor.
It was thanks to the previous day’s controversy surrounding Kylo spreading beyond Elysium communities to all kinds of general communities.
In just one day, Kylo had gone from a malicious user suspected of hacks to a living legend.
[Ah, should I return to Elysium too? I played it a bit before]
└[I’m kind of tempted too lolol]
└[But even if they boost you with something like a jump event, you quit quickly because there’s nothing to do]
└[No, no]
└[Oldsic is a fresh start for everyone anyway, so go for it]
And that was not all. Due to the aftermath of the controversy spreading to all kinds of communities, attention on Elysium Online itself also rose along with it.
It was a ripple effect truly worthy of a Legend Movie.
However.
If there were those who benefited from the huge wave, there were also those who were swept up in it and harmed.
[HIT][Yang Pinpin picked a dogfight with a Legend and still has no apology post????]
[She subtly egged Pinpin Corps on and tried to bury the Legend, but not having a single apology post is right?]
└[For real. He survived because he’s a Legend user. If he were just an ordinary user, he would’ve been exposed and quit the game]
└[Did Yang Pinpin personally expose him or what? What did she do?]
└[If a streamer who drags shitty viewers around butts into a PK and starts lecturing, do you think the shitty viewers won’t put him on blast???]
└[There really was a bastard who started a fire saying they’d put him on blast, though??]
└[? There’s no post]
└[It’s gone because he deleted it and ran. It really existed]
└[(Screenshot of the controversy from the day before)]
└[No, it’s not like only Pinpin Corps did that]
└[But Pinpin Corps definitely trolled yesterday]
[BEST][Summary of Yang Pinpin’s controversy over publicly mocking a Legend]
[BEST][Evidence that Pinpin Corps were always huge nuisances.jpg]
[BEST][Yang Pinpin’s past of blowing up a raid party during a raid.txt]
[BEST][Wasn’t Yang Pinpin caught doing undisclosed ads before? Why does she pretend she’s clean?]
Perhaps because the previous day’s argument had been so fierce, the streamer Yang Pinpin, who had been involved in the incident, was immediately hit by that backlash.
‘I-I’m screwed.......’
The next day, after encountering the controversy, streamer Yang Pinpin realized the seriousness of the situation and despaired.
Even her past behavior had been dug up again, and she was being attacked over it! If this went wrong, the situation could develop into something that ended her life as a streamer.
“What do I do, what do I do?!”
Yang Pinpin stamped her feet and tried hard to think of a way out, but no clear method came to mind.
Once a controversy had ignited this much, trying to suppress it would only pour oil on the fire. Just like yesterday’s controversy over Kylo’s hack program.
“Uploading an apology video and going into hiding for a while is one method....... But in that case, your subscriber count and viewer count will definitely drop. The possibility of recovery is unknown too. It will also be hard to expect exposure from the algorithm.”
“Th-then what should I do.......?”
“For now, we have received guidance that partnership contracts and similar matters can be put on hold for several months. As for the rest, I think you’ll have to judge for yourself, Yang Pinpin.”
“Y-yes.......”
She had asked her agency while clutching at straws, but no sharp solution came out. Yang Pinpin felt as if the sky had collapsed.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.”
“No, I’m the one who’s sorry for causing trouble.......”
“Yes. If you decide on a course of action afterward, please contact us again.”
Before she could answer, the call ended like that. It felt as if her last lifeline had been cut. That was what Yang Pinpin thought.
“Uuuugh.......”
After rolling around on her bed and falling into worry, Yang Pinpin finally made a decision.
“Right. First, I should upload an apology video at least and calm things down a little.......”
Of course, an apology video would not solve this kind of controversy. It would also be hard to recover her fallen image.
However, if the controversy was settled for now,
she could at least prevent the situation from growing worse as people picked at past incidents and spread false slander.
Issues like the undisclosed ad controversy and the raid party blowup incident. Honestly, her past behavior was a bigger problem than getting swept up in this controversy.
And.......
‘Right. If I resolve things with the person involved, who else can say anything?’
While uploading an apology video and going into hiding, she would contact “Kylo,” the central figure of the controversy, and upload a reconciliation video.
She could perfectly resolve the fight that had been the starting point of the controversy.
Not only that, but perhaps she could draw in the person at the center of attention and secure views too.
‘Right! This is it! Hehehe. I came up with this method. Am I actually a genius?’
It was a rather sly thought, but Yang Pinpin did not think so and was busy praising herself.
‘And if I’m going to stay an Elysium specialist streamer, there’s nothing bad about making a connection with an expert like that!’
If things went well, she might learn or discover the secret behind that skill. The more she thought about it, the more perfect the plan seemed.
Like that, Yang Pinpin decided to contact Kylo somehow and build a connection with him.
“Good! Just wait, Kylo!”
However, there was one more thing Yang Pinpin had overlooked.
After the release of the Legend Movie, the player named Kylo was rising as a celebrity representing Elysium Online itself.
Yang Pinpin was not the only famous player who wanted to contact Kylo.
“......Kylo?”
And among those famous players,
“Is it true? That Sword Saint really returned?!”
There was another Legendary Player who knew Kylo from his days as a ranker.
