SWNOVELXO Chapter 132
Na-me’s bath broadcast came to an end with the completion of the call, but the viewers showed no signs of letting go of the age bait that had surfaced.
Regardless of what the head of Wearsoft’s business department said, Na-me neither confirmed nor denied it, causing the scale of the discussion to gradually balloon.
[NoName] Today’s significant statement from Wearsoft’s business department head
Hogamgonic’s “Nyangster Call” has stirred up trouble again ^^
How on earth did this guy know the personal number of Wearsoft’s business department head is a second issue, but it seems like something big has popped up.
According to insiders, it hinted that NoName accessed Nightmare without permission using a guest account, which caused a bug in Wagal, and the remark made to NoName afterwards was about whether they were under 15 years old or not.
What do you all think?

– The aggro should be kept in check ^^
– (Author): Seriously, they said, “Mr. NoName isn’t over 15, right?”
└ Must have been a misunderstanding.
└ Was that phrasing really a misunderstanding? It was clear as day!
– You can’t just type anything in there and get away with it ㅋㅋㅋ
– War magician -> Teaching Assistant -> College Student -> High School Girl -> Middle School Girl ㅋㅋㅋ What is this, Benjamin Button? Time moving backwards?
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Next will it be an elementary school student? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– I think an unusual information leak happened from a lower-level employee. Would a department head even have an interest in the game itself?
The one who got a real ticking time bomb dropped on them was Wearsoft.
What could have been wrapped up as just a simple ‘happening’ escalated into a crisis due to the business department head’s lackadaisical advice, and now the head office was on high alert.
If the problem wasn’t dealt with immediately, it was only a matter of time before they lost trust not only from shareholders but also from the general public.
Especially since they were planning to issue bonds on a large scale for a new game launch, and their subsidiary was pushing for an IPO. If they couldn’t recover their stock price to a certain level, their long-term business objectives would be completely wrecked from the get-go.
The business department head who confessed his crime was immediately sidelined from his duties, and the practical staff put in their utmost effort to come up with solutions to sit at the negotiation table with Na-me.
[We’re sorry, but really there’s no way to bring out Adella and Mephistopheles at the same time as Mr. NoName wishes…]
“Okay. I accept.”
[But we can’t guarantee that we’ll clear it. That’s entirely up to the user’s power—]
“That’s an area I’ll take responsibility for. I just hope you keep your promises.”
With firm confidence, Na-me made her plea.
[Please make sure to mention that we truly did our best… ]
Dark circles that even holograms couldn’t erase were clearly visible.
But that was none of Na-me’s concern.
“Just in case, I’d like to keep the admin rights to the Open World until the very end… If anything goes wrong on my part, it would be a real disaster, wouldn’t it?”
[We’ll discuss it right away and get back to you.]
“Quickly now, quickly. We’re running out of time.”
And then, the day of the final boss showdown rapidly approached.

[NoName]
[World of Arseria – Ending]
[Broadcasting Time – 0:03:29]
[Number of Viewers – 4957]
It was a late Sunday evening that capped off the week.
No one expected the notorious NoName to announce a broadcast.
So, when she started the stream, the rapidly climbing viewer count left even those who were part of it dumbfounded.
But the camera only captured the scenery of the Private Room; Na-me’s favorite classical music or the song by Kariri that confused the viewers at the start was nowhere to be heard.
The sense of alienation quickly morphed into anxiety.
It manifested itself in the chat, but just for a moment, as all five Managers appeared and systematically suppressed them one by one.
The Managers had anticipated this scenario.
They were prepared to do their utmost to prevent Na-me’s age from becoming a major issue that could head in a direction detrimental to her.
The lights of the Private Room flickered on, illuminating the interior.
Among familiar arrangements of furniture, a shadow crept up the wallpaper.
Shortly after, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the protagonist sitting in an armchair turned the camera to herself and pleasantly smiled.
“Hi.”
-ㅎㅇ
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅎㅇㅇ
-What is this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-So cute!ㅋㅋㅋ
-You’re not NoName! Give our room leader back!
-Why is it funny when you just greeted us?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Where did your calm ‘Hello’ go?
-So, are you pushing the ‘childish’ concept?
-Are you really a middle school student?
The chat erupted with her unexpectedly high-pitched tone.
Thinking that Na-me usually lowered her voice during broadcasts, the sound now sounded just like elementary school kids shouting on the playground.
However, that was just for a moment.
After finishing her broadcast setup, Na-me returned to a calm tone.
“Honestly, I don’t know how many days I’ve been stuck on a mode that has a recommended playtime of 6 hours.”
Na-me’s lament resonated with many.
There were even viewers among the current audience who were eagerly awaiting for her to wrap up the story and just dive into the multi-player mode.
It was an astonishing 10/10/10 sub-option.
While the combat power calculation formula was intricate, and whether it was an addition or multiplication at specific points still remained unclear, an estimate of at least 120,000 to 150,000 combat power could be made.
If this character were to be played in a regular game, allies would all be Bronze while opponents would be caught in a bizarre matchup of Diamond MMR.
However, the chat trend turned towards questioning Na-me’s age.
– How old are you for real, room leader?
– If you’re in middle school, that would be legendary.
– If one could handle third-circle magic at such a young age, they’d be a genius!
– Not just a genius but a globally recognized genius.
– Your language doesn’t sound like a teenager at all.
– It’s not about being a genius or not; she’s not even second-rate compared to current magic practitioners.
– Have you appeared on any genius discovery program?
– Is she hacking or using a proxy?
└ Hacking shouldn’t be mentioned.
The characteristics of magic as a scholarly subject vary greatly for each individual, leading viewers to show responses with significant discrepancies.
[“CoolDragon” donated 5,000 won!]
– I sometimes see skills being displayed without assists; have you learned swordsmanship separately?
“I learned it quite a while ago.”
– ‘Quite a while’ makes me wonder how many years back that was ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Could be last month.
– Our scale is differentㅋㅋㅋ
– Cut the middle school bait, managers!
– But seriously, how old are you? Just an estimate…
– I’d be okay with Na-me being 10 or 100!
└ If she’s 10, liking her would be a no-go.
└ Definitely a sketchy person, huh?ㅋㅋㅋ
“Ahem, age. How old do you think I am?”
[“LemonCat” donated 1,000 won!]
– The top three most awkward questions for a girl to answer are now here!
[“verank” donated 1,000 won!]
– From the moment you asked, it’s guaranteed you’re an old-timer based on my observations,ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Oh my.
– Oh my…!
– That’s right ㅋㅋㅋ
– snickers
– Is this the act of learning from the younger generation? No, it’s the act of older generations learning?
– You’ll get permanently banned, teacher.
– 20 years old?
– You do look like you are in your 20s, teacher.
└ The characteristic of “saying 20” is that the person thinks deeply down they’re in their 30s but lightens the blow by saying 20.
└ How did you know?
– Would I get banned if I said 40?
– (This chat has been blocked)
└ Whoa!
└ Not a temporary 10-minute ban but a 30-minute block,ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Think before talking, everyone!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Even the fast-passing comments caught Na-me’s attention and didn’t escape her ban hammer.
Once a topic is opened, it rolls down like a snowball on a slope without pause—a natural part of internet broadcasting.
Faced with the audience’s behavior that made her feel like revealing her age was impossible, Na-me’s hand subtly moved toward the chat moderation buttons.
– Don’t do that here!
– Stop that hand, NoName!
– We messed up!ㅠㅠㅠ Please forgive us just this once!ㅠㅠㅠ
[“NyangsterCall” has a new mission!]
[Clear with Adella / Prize 1,000,000 won]
“Please save our Adella, teacher! I’m begging you!”
In the midst of hustle and chaos, the order was swiftly restored by the sponsorship from NyangsterCall’s mission window.
The moment NoName declared she would clear the game before the day was over, her heart leaped once again.
And his wish manifested in the form of sponsorship amounts.
Crowd behavior tends to be collective. Riding the waves of that current, people began to pile into the mission window one by one.
[“Gitmootdit” +10,000 won!]
[“niagra” +5,000 won!]
If unfettered, the amounts were gathering with the momentum to soar sky-high.
[“Daehagwonsaengsalryeo” donated 1,000 won!]
– Do you have a plan?
With Adella now a confirmed sacrificial offering for summoning Mephistopheles, what kind of strategy did she have that allowed her to be so confident in clearing it?
Dae-sal subtly inquired as the donation window was about to close.
Given the Open World characteristics, duplicating characters wasn’t an option.
Other ASI members also echoed Wearsoft’s words, suggesting if a ‘break door’ was set to Adella, they wouldn’t find any viable means.
Na-me slowly rose and firmly pressed her index finger on the World Tree icon.
Transforming into particles of light, she began to fade away gradually.
[Do you wish to connect to World of Arseria?]
[Current broadcast has been ongoing for 0:10:18. Do you wish to continue?]
[May the blessings of the World Tree be upon you.]
Calm and collected, she bid farewell to the viewers.
“I’m going to hand over my body to Adella.”
