Lee Jin-gun couldn’t think of anything to say.
Oh Joo-wan also had a blank look, as if he’d received an unexpected shock.
Even Shin Hye-min was quiet this time. Granted, she had believed in Weed from the beginning.
‘If it is Weed, he can do it.’
It wasn’t something that could be explained by common sense, but ambiguous faith.
Nevertheless, who would have believed he would really succeed just like that.
Even in the studio, there was silence. Though the cameramen and staff had heard the outcome beforehand, their shock couldn’t be compared to the one they felt while actually watching the video.
The name that comes to their minds now.
‘Wargod Weed’.
A great many speculations and disputes were taking place in the viewer forum as well as on discussion websites related to Royal Road. It was a quarrel about whether one thought the person fighting the Embinyu Church was the Wargod Weed or not.
Lion’s Roar, Death Knight Van Hawk, Bingryong. The war against the Immortal Legion he had shown while handling Orcs and Dark Elves.
Disputes were extremely fierce despite all these facts.
— That is Weed. Those are the monsters Weed came out with in previous battles.
— Shouting to lead his underlings is a skill Weed used.
However, the objections were formidable, too.
— If you look at it simply, you could call him the Wargod Weed because some of the monsters or skills are same. But isn’t it just perfect to mistaken him since even his name is the same?
— I will explain it rationally, logically.
For reference, I have a doctoral degree in Economics from abroad, and I am currently a Fund Manager.
There is a considerable amount known about the Wargod Weed. He started as a Paladin of Freya Church, and then changed class to Necromancer. Considering the skills he used when fighting the Bone Dragon, the proof is clear.
But now they tell us that he is a Sculptor?
If he’s a Necromancer, then of course he would have fought using Necromancer skills. Rather than summoning Balkan, he would have raised Undeads himself and attacked the fortress.
— The person above, you have pointed out a very important part. You are indeed a doctor in Economics.
Let me tell you about Sculptor Weed.
Sculptor Weed started at Rosenheim Kingdom, and it is estimated that no more than one year and six months have passed since then. There are many people who saw him when he was becoming popular while making small sculptures in Rosenheim Kingdom. My friend also bought a sculpture from him.
The possibility Sculptor Weed and Wargod Weed’s similar aspects can be attributed to an undiscovered common skill or a monster that can be tamed in specific conditions or handled with intimacy is high.
Arguments continued.
— What about the combat sense that Sculptor Weed showed?
— Don’t misunderstand because he is an impressively outstanding user who is the Lord of Morata, etc.. His current outstanding fighting ability may have been specially obtained through the quest.
— Then it makes sense.
— Sculptor Weed appeared a whole year after the Wargod Weed from the Continent of Magic sold his account. Just considering the time, I judge it’s not him.
Because the Wargod Weed was such a big celebrity, seemingly credible false rumors spread extensively. Since they were now saying he was a Sculptor, it couldn’t be helped that it was past all belief! Enormous disputes and questions were continuing on every forum.
The fact that the Wargod Weed’s identity could be unfolded wasn’t easily accepted by the viewers. Though it was a completely unfamiliar name to the public, the Wargod Weed already had the greatest recognition in Royal Road while being the most mysterious existence.
The Wargod Weed who sought only the worst battlefields and passed over no impossible quests— Even though Sculptor Weed had shown several similarities, it wasn’t easy to suddenly accept it. A situation amplified by doubts and shock!
Whether Sculptor Weed was the Wargod Weed or not was becoming an urgent concern.

Goddess Versailles.
The name of the continent in the virtual reality, Royal Road. In addition, the balancing system that managed everything, an absolute authority.
The system created by Yoo Byung-jun, the heaven-sent genius scientist.
Royal Road was a perfect virtual reality without any errors.
Even though he had led to the legend, the miracle of creating a new world, Yoo Byung-jun was not happy.
“We just took the first step at last. Isn’t that right, Versailles?”
[- Yes. You are right, Dr. Yoo Byung-jun.]
The symbol of Goddess Versailles, an enormous crystal, replied as it emitted a faint light.
The other scientists only had class 3 restricted access; they didn’t know about the true functions or influential power of Goddess Versailles.
“Hehe, it took a full 40 years to get here. The project I poured all my dreams into…” Yoo Byung Jun’s eyes shone.
* * *
At an early age, Yoo Byung-jun was a child in the countryside who was extremely good at studying.
“Today we are going to learn how to use 3 linear equations. Do any of the students know?”
“Me.”
“Do any students know the root equation?”
“Me.”
“How about the Pythagoras theorem…”
“Me.”
Middle school, high school, and college mathematics and science were too easy for him.
“When is the next lesson, teacher?”
He was the fellow most disliked by the other students in his class! Even though he suffered group bullying, Yoo Byung-jun did not care.
“Idiots. Jerks who can’t do anything if they don’t group up.”
From the time he attended a domestic school, Yoo Byung-jun had already become an academic celebrity.
No matter what mathematical formula or a law of physics it was, he conceived the answer the moment he saw it. He created more advanced new theories and defined laws for them that only he knew. Since high school, he swept through various competitions and even took first in an international mathematical contest. At university, physics, chemistry, bioengineering, mathematics … He was on the cover of a science magazine whenever he published a thesis.
The genius of the century.
Called the Devilish Brain, a world prominent institute tried to recruit him by offering him an astronomical salary.
His life had only known success after success. Then one day, he felt frustration for the first time.
He met his first love.
He was always feeling apologetic towards her whenever they went on date.
“Sorry I can’t buy something tasty every time. Let’s go to a restaurant when I receive prize money.”
“It’s all right, oppa.”
She who smiled brightly for him.
The amount of prize money Yoo Byung-jun won was never small. However, he could only live scantily in order to buy necessary equipment for his research. While thinking ahead of others and trying to commence research immediately, money could only leak out.
He didn’t want to work under somebody else, and for Yoo Byung-jun, who’d had much interest in basic science, it was an aspect that he couldn’t help but endure.
“I’ll see you next week. No, the week after next.”
“Are you busy?”
“Yeah. Materials I’m experimenting on are coming in tomorrow.”
“Don’t you know what day tomorrow is? It’s my birthday. Is your experiment that important, oppa?”
“Of course the experiment is important. I’ll throw a birthday party for you the week after next. Bear with me until then.”
He avoided his girlfriend when writing theses or doing experiments. Even when occasionally meeting his girlfriend, he showed up with a shaggy head and in grubby attire since he’d made a little time.
“Did you wait long?”
Yoo Byung-jun always arrived late for their appointment.
Eventually, his nice and thoughtful girlfriend left him.
“I want to meet a man who really values… and loves me.”
His girlfriend left him for the man who had comforted her in Yoo Byung-jun’s place whenever he was gone.
