SWNOVELXO Chapter 191
“Thus, our world was destroyed.”
The sniffling girl looked forlornly toward the cave entrance.
In the world she came from, angels with blue wings appeared, raining down fire and brimstone to punish the wicked people, and those who lived with the phrase ‘LOL’ in their mouths couldn’t escape the fate of becoming pillars of salt.
“So that means you, Go—”
“Please call me by my full name. Is my name embarrassing?”
“A little… The community where you, Go Yang-kyomi, are active is simply described as Sodom and Gomorrah. I mean, after the nuclear apocalypse, this old man is dealing with a zombie apocalypse, and now we have a Genesis apocalypse. The ways of destruction sure vary.”
“How can someone have lust for a young child! The heavens must be furious enough to cast down eternal punishment upon you… You wouldn’t do such a thing, right?”
“…”
“Don’t tell me you, Go—!”
“Yes! I did! Honestly, if everyone else is doing it, how could I endure…!”
“You… You… this is outrageous!”
“I didn’t know! I didn’t know she was seven! If I had known, I wouldn’t have done it!”
“Fourteen years old is still not okay!”
“But four years difference isn’t much… Hey, what about you! How righteous do you think you are? Want me to pull up your chat logs?”
Just then, two men blocked the girl who was about to hit the button to reveal the full chat history.
“Let’s not, okay? We’re all people with nothing to lose.”
“By the way, the crying outside seems unending. Guess it’s the zombies’ lamenting.”
All three turned their heads toward the cave entrance.
Meteors fell from the sky, lava erupted from the earth, and dinosaurs and alien krakens gathered, turning the whole world into chaos. Where are the zombies in all this?
Anyway, there wasn’t much time left until destruction hit.
Yet, the beam projector stubbornly continued fulfilling its role.
The three watched the girl’s declaration in a daze for quite some time.
Was it true that when one experiences something too surreal, the brain just stops working?
None of them raised any questions about Na-me.
They merely stared blankly until her words finished.
[If you could… grant… us…]
“Ah…”
All three felt a sudden insight simultaneously.
This was indeed the moment of the end.
[Thank you for listening, everyone…]
The world turned black and white.

“Looks like this community blew up too.”
“Ugh… Sniff… I feel so sorry for Na-me… Hu-hu…”
“Sigh… When the hell will Kim Mu-sik ever fix the server?”
A man who suddenly stood up raised his head and vented his frustration at the broken community. Even his eyes were turning red.

With the genius mage lineage connecting Cheok Jun-gyeong, Sejong, Yul-gok Lee, Jeongjo, and Ham Cho-rong, this one could easily exceed the history books’ standards.
A bit over the top, but isn’t this the kind of person who could grow to be a historical figure?
[Comments]
-Where did Yi Sun-sin go?
└ Yi Sun-sin is a great general, but not a natural genius. He created 5-circle unique magic at 35.
└ Exclude Cheok Jun-gyeong; there’s no record of him.
└ LOL, did you at least hear something from somewhere?
└ Uh… There’s no way our Yi Sun-sin would do that!
└ You rascal!!! Do you dare to doubt the greatest of greats, General Yi Sun-sin!!!
-But factually, if we consider age, it appears No Name could surpass all these people.
└ But trying to compare with Ham Cho-rong is crossing the line.
└ You know Ham Cho-rong started learning 5-circle magic at 13, right?
└ Thinking back, wasn’t NoName using 5-circle magic back in Wagal? Or was it 4-circle?
└ It’s not just a 5-circle issue; I heard he proved some mathematical problem, what has that got to do with it?
-Look at the mental age; you’d believe he’s an adult.
└ Anyway, talent is confirmed.
-Server crash? Why isn’t the post refresh working?
-Again it crashed, damn!!!
-Look at this last post; the comments are overflowing with laughter!!!
-The arena has opened; I bet we’ll see even hardcore fans showing up soon.
[Is this situation summary correct?][32]
Ugh, server nonsense~
Since I’m an idiot, I’m confused about so much.
Let me see if I’m getting it right.
So, NoName’s real name is No Na-me, and she’s 7 years old, not 14? 2nd grade?
Anyway, she was supposedly trapped in a capsule since birth; what’s up with that?
And she was rescued a year ago, but her mom only got government assistance while she was just left at an orphanage without a nationality?
[Comments]
-They say she made a rice farmer out of it.
-Title-making? I have no clue what that is.
-If you run the call-out program, you can buy and sell titles. I think that’s what they’re talking about.
└ How did you know that?
└ I just learned about it after 10 years of playing LOL.
-She didn’t want to play for 50,000 games; it was literally do or die, right?
└ That’s some serious ultimatum.
└ You really want to make that joke here?

[Is the ‘Real’ last survivor of the Valpurgis incident finally out?][1382]
(2 weeks ago, Yonhap News article.jpg)
8691 false reports over 7 years. An average of 3.4 reports per day.
But actual verified cases? ‘0 cases.’
All the crazy hoaxes trying to cash in on terror compensation we’ve seen in the news seem trivial, but this one feels serious.
At least, it looks like a one-on-one tactical meeting with the Blue House under the ‘National Suggestion.’
(No Name National Suggestion application screen capture.jpg)
Real name confirmed OK.
(Jongno District, Jung-gu, Mapo District, Yeongdeungpo District columbarium photos.jpg)
Since she said she had no family, her remains were likely placed in the mass burial site for the Valpurgis incident victims by the government.

After taking a good look around and inquiring with staff, there was a jar that had been newly placed around this time last year.
(…)
At this point, it seems like even the most paranoid could believe there’s some truth in it. What do you all think?
[Comments]
-You’re serious about digging deep into this.
└ I better step up my game too…
-Is it okay to just walk in here if you’re not a relative? The staff would just tell you their business?
└ (Author): Yeah, they did say that.
└ They must have given up long ago since politicians have come and gone so much.
└ This hellish Korea is hilarious, really.
-The building looks really old.
-We’re tired and done~~ Do we really have to keep getting these annoying investigation news?
└ This is the real deal.
└ Even if you flip everything on its head, I’d accept that.

Before fulfilling the two demands, I firmly stated I wouldn’t participate in any public activities.
I felt like I had been running on and on without respite. In terms of streamers, I needed a recharge.
In my life, have I ever received so much attention?
Well, I have… but those weren’t exactly good memories.
As I tried to step down from the podium, a few people rushed toward me.
As I savored their expressions one by one, my eyes found joy.
“Na-me!”
The first to meet me was Kariri.
“I did well, didn’t I?”
“Wow, really…!”
Before I could even finish going down the stairs, Kariri grabbed my armpit and lifted me up in the air.
Unexpectedly, I felt so light that she spun me around, landing me safely back in her embrace.
Her bottom was a little bruised, but that was a bonus.
“Yoon-seul unni.”
“Yes?”
“Congratulations again on your victory.”
This event wasn’t just for me.
I succeeded in creating a huge spectacle, but at the same time, I felt guilty for ruining the joyous festival for everyone.
“Na-me, Na-me.”
“What?”
“You know you’re incredible, right?”
“I do.”
“You do?”
“Of course.”
“Kyaaa! So cute!”
“Can you tone it down a little in public?”
I pushed her face that was about to rub against mine away and stood her up.
“No Name, you really!”
Slim arms wrapped around my neck. Bright pink hair was the first to catch my eye.
With every breath she took, her shoulders trembled slightly, and I noticed her bloodshot eyes.
My supporter, ‘HyejiAtNight’, Yu-shia.
“Shia, congratulations on your victory, too. You were the best supporter.”
“Why… why…!”
Even if she didn’t finish, I knew what she wanted to say.
“I distinctly remember saying something.”
[My age hasn’t passed my birthday yet; I’m seven years old.]
“Do you remember the match against Kai’Sa?”
“I don’t remember all those details!”
“Ugh! Okay, I’ll take it that I tricked you. Sorry for misleading you.”
“How hard must it have been for you… Even for seven years… I didn’t know that… Sniff… sniff!”
Before her grip could tighten around my neck any further, I crouched down to free my head.
Looking around, I realized we had been caught in the crowd.
“No Name, I mean Na-me, you’ve gone through so much… It was truly an honor to be with you. Thanks to you, I was able to reach enlightenment.”
“Yong-cheol, why are you speaking formally? Regardless, I’m younger than your daughter.”
Even if I’ve lived much longer than Han Yong-cheol in years, my mental age had never surpassed twenty-five.
“Even so, to that extent… right? I’m thirty-one, so… seven… twenty-four… Wait, have I really aged this much?”
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-LOL!
“If I had succeeded in my first love, I would have a daughter like No Name by now.”
-Ugh, now that we are so close to the end, my heart races…
└ It’s not a crime to switch to No Name, right, Yong-cheol?
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“I promised I’d make you win. What do you think? Isn’t talent scary?”
“Definitely… Talent is indeed scary! Now that I think about it, once I become famous, oh, I will definitely remember today. You will remember the Blory Team, right?”
“Of course. A bond once formed is never forgotten.”
“Kyaa! Did you see that everyone? The kid speaks so well…! Isn’t it amazing? Everyone give her a round of applause! All of you in the stadium should applaud as well!”
It was truly a spectacle.
As if everyone had made a promise, they all stood up and began to clap towards us.
I’ve heard a single clap, but it was my first time hearing such a cacophony of applause from numerous people.
The resonating sound stirred my heart, making me feel as though I could lose myself in the atmosphere of the event.
“Yong-cheol, you fit the hero role well.”
“A hero? Oh, are you referring to the Wagal class? Maybe I’ll try to grow in that aspect next.”
The qualities of a hero that capture people’s attention.
Klaus was born with such talent.
Perhaps Han Yong-cheol, who was here, would also have held a similar position if his strength were just as potent.
At one point, I felt a sense of envy seeing that talent. To be honest, it made me jealous.
I often wondered why people preferred heroes over me when I clearly had no shortcomings.
It certainly took a huge toll for me to realize how trivial those worries were.
In the end, ‘nature’ cannot be changed.
But ‘nature’ doesn’t inherently mean ‘destiny.’
A hero is a hero. A demon king is a demon king.
“Na-me, are you going to start streaming after the competition? If it’s okay, should we collaborate?”
“Oh, please let us join, too! How can it be only the Wagal team!”
“But you guys have been winning all the way! We ended with all wins too!”
“We only lost in the finals, okay? What are you talking about?”
“Ah, we definitely have to stream.”
Each from their own perspective, they should carve their destinies based on what they excel in.
What I was best at was undoubtedly…
