Chapter 20 Samurai Hearts – For Revenge (6)

□ Myriad Sword Style

-“Ten thousand sword techniques are contained within. Only the Myriad Sword exists perfectly in this world.”

[Sword Technique Unique Effect: Can use the unique effects of other sword techniques. However, the exact form of the sword technique must be executed.]

□ Thousand Sword Style

-“What is a sword that reaches the heavens? If a sword can reach the sky, that is the strongest sword.”

[Sword Technique Unique Effect: Can use the correction effects of other sword techniques. However, the exact form of the sword technique must be executed.]

□ Sword God Style

-“Having raised the sword and ascended to the seat of God. Only the Sword God stands alone in the world.”

[Sword Technique Unique Effect: Sword Soul is activated. However, Martial Soul cannot be activated.]

“Show me too! Me! Me!”

As soon as she realized that another set of options had appeared, Seung-yeon rushed over to Dohyun and clung to him.

Dohyun shrugged and showed her the three new options that had appeared.

Myriad Sword Style, Thousand Sword Style, Sword God Style.

Seung-yeon sighed in front of the options, which were accompanied by plausible phrases and unique sword technique effects.

As if to show off.

“Geez, I thought creating a school would mean I could make whatever I wanted, but it’s not. Well, it’s nothing special. Right, everyone?”

But the word ‘beaming’ was fitting for the smile on Seung-yeon’s face as she said that.

It was an expression that anyone could tell was fake.

The viewers’ reactions to it were concise.

-?

-?

-?

A flood of question marks filled the chat room!

It wasn’t an expression of curiosity like, ‘What do you mean?’

It was closer to, ‘Are you crazy?’

Even donations came pouring in quickly.

‘FullPig’ donated ‘10000 won’!

[STFU-]

Three consonants that weren’t even a definite word.

The meaning was clear.

‘Shut the f*** up’.

“Thank you so much for the 10000 won donation, FullPig! I’m sorry! I won’t act up! It’s actually super special!

-Quick apology acknowledged

-acknowledged

-Standard acknowledged

-But it’s seriously awesome lol I’ve never seen effects like that before lol

Seung-yeon, who had been putting on a skit with the viewers, stopped joking around and looked at the options.

Before these options appeared, she recalled the sentence written on the scroll.

‘It said that a sword style tailored to the player’s tendencies was created.’

In other words, these sword styles were custom-made for Dohyun.

That was definitely felt just by looking at the first two sword styles, Myriad Sword Style and Thousand Sword Style.

Both schools focused on encompassing other sword techniques with their unique effects.

Just like Dohyun, who absorbed other sword techniques and made them his own.

However, even though the focus was the same, there were enormous differences in the details.

‘Unique effects and correction effects, huh.’

The unique effects that Myriad Sword Style could use were things like the Two Heavens Style’s ‘Cannot receive the sword unless it’s a perfect parry’ or the Jakye Seomho Style’s ‘Becomes stronger when attacking’.

The correction effects that appeared in Thousand Sword Style meant things like attack power, accuracy, and especially the corrections that went into parrying, which varied depending on the selected sword style.

‘The restriction that you have to execute the exact form of the sword technique doesn’t really mean anything.’

Even when he didn’t have any sword styles, Dohyun stole the opponent’s sword techniques and reproduced them perfectly.

What use would it be to impose such a restriction now?

In the end, she knew that no matter what he chose, the only result would be Dohyun getting stronger.

The problem was the third school.

‘Sword God Style.’

Seung-yeon’s eyes sparkled.

She felt a hint of a jackpot.

It was obvious just from the name.

Myriad Sword Style and Thousand Sword Style were still within the realm of the sword, but surprisingly, this school had attached a god to it.

Sword God, the god of the sword.

It was just a name, but wasn’t it truly enormous?

‘My brother is really crazy, even though he’s my brother.’

Sword Saint Kato had defeated countless swordsmen and was considered one of the greatest bosses of all time.

His skill was worthy of being called a Sword Saint not only in VR but also in reality.

But even he was just a star in the end.

On the other hand, Dohyun is a god.

What does this mean?

The fact that Sword God Style was suitable for Dohyun meant that, from a system perspective, Dohyun was no different from a Sword God.

It was no different from the conclusion that ‘He’s a god!’ was reached as a result of analyzing the play logs.

‘But there’s nothing certain about choosing this.’

The problem was that she couldn’t even guess what the unique effect of Sword God Style was.

Sword Soul is activated, but Martial Soul cannot be used.

Martial Soul is one of the pillars of a player’s strength in Samurai Hearts, along with sword techniques.

If there was a penalty for not being able to use it, shouldn’t they at least tell you what Sword Soul is?

‘Let’s avoid Sword God Style as much as possible.’

When Seung-yeon looked at the chat room after coming to that conclusion.

It was already a chaotic mess.

-33333333333333333

-11111111111111111

-2222222222222

-No, you sword-illiterates are talking nonsense; it’s obviously 3;

-Since ten thousand is higher than a thousand, you have to go with Myriad Sword Style. You ignorant fools

-So boring;

-2 Let’s gooooo!

-He’s a god!

-Yeah, he’s a moron~ Myriad Sword Style ㄱ [go]

-22222222222222222222222

It only took Seung-yeon a moment to make a decision.

Nevertheless, the chat room was already a melting pot of chaos.

The chat room was going crazy with claims for the school that each person wanted to choose.

In fact, it was understandable.

You can only choose one sword style in Samurai Hearts!

In other words, only one of the options that had come out now would be chosen, and the rest would be discarded.

If this was a normal choice, you could watch the progress of the other options elsewhere, but that wasn’t the case.

The minimum requirement to proceed with this route was to catch the Sword Saint in the tutorial.

Naturally, viewers who wanted the broadcast to proceed in the direction they wanted had no choice but to chat like crazy.

‘Ah, this······.’

The opinions of the viewers were fiercely opposed.

What if she threw in a voting system here?

It would boil over tremendously.

There was also the possibility that it could record the highest voting rate ever.

The problem was that she didn’t have the right to choose the options.

She glanced at Dohyun.

Her brother was looking at the options and thinking hard.

She was essentially being carried by him, so she had no right to tell Dohyun what to do.

Originally, it was right for her brother to choose, and this was just greed.

Nevertheless, she was filled with the desire to create a more fun broadcast.

That’s why she opened her mouth very carefully.

“Dohyun? Is there anything you want to choose?”

She had approached him carefully in her own way, but her brother Dohyun could see her intentions clearly.

They had been together as siblings for a long time, so he realized, ‘Ah, she wants something from me now.’

And what she wanted in this situation was obvious.

That’s why he answered like this.

“No. I don’t know what anything is.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. I don’t know much about the game, so I’m having a hard time choosing. Sis, just pick whatever you want.”

“Then it’s okay for me to exchange opinions with the viewers and decide···?”

“I told you to pick whatever you want.”

Dohyun chuckled inwardly as he saw Seung-yeon’s face brighten at these words.

In fact, it wasn’t wrong.

Either way, Dohyun was in a position where it didn’t matter what he chose.

Seung-yeon, who had received her brother’s permission, said with a triumphant look.

“Okay, everyone! Now that I have my brother’s permission, let’s decide on an option in a way that everyone can agree on! What will Kratos’s sword style be!”

-Voting is definitely happening

-This is a must ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Voting, ready, complete

“I think everyone guessed it. That’s right. It’s a vote. The voting time will be 3 minutes. Vote for the option you like! Let’s start right away!”

Seung-yeon, who had finished speaking, manipulated the VR system and started voting immediately.

As if they had been waiting─of course, they had actually been waiting─the voting numbers shot up.

Seung-yeon’s broadcast, which had broken through the cut-off line for large companies from the start, attracted even more viewers as rumors spread that new options and events had appeared.

The number of people who gathered was over 100,000.

When they all started voting at once, the numbers had no choice but to go up like crazy.

“Myriad Sword Style is slightly ahead right now? Oh? The moment I say that, Sword God Style is catching up! Thousand Sword Style people, you need to try harder! Wow, they’re coming up right away!”

Seung-yeon was talking non-stop as if she were a commentator.

So that this vote could be a little more exciting.

So that more people would participate in the vote and offer their votes.

She knew from her long broadcasting experience that it was stupid to just throw out a vote and wait for 3 minutes.

The viewers’ chat room was also boiling over again.

-22222222222222222222222

-Ab.so.lute.ly.Sword.God.

-111111111111111111111111

-ThousandSwordThousandSwordThousandSwordThousandSwordThousandSwordThousandSwordThousandSword

-3333333333333333333333333

-Fact) 1000<10000

-Sword.God.Good

-No, it’s not~ It’s Myriad Sword Style~

Soon, 3 minutes had passed.

Without any time extensions, the vote was cut off as soon as 3 minutes had passed.

Seung-yeon’s eyes shook slightly as the voting results came out.

‘Why did it have to be······.’

The sword style she wanted to avoid the most was at the top.

However, she couldn’t overturn the matter decided by the vote just because she didn’t like it.

She had no choice but to believe that Dohyun would do well no matter what this sword style was.

In the end, everything depended on Dohyun, and Seung-yeon didn’t like that.

‘I’m already being carried, but this is too much to pass on.’

Even though Dohyun had created the topic, this broadcast was not Dohyun’s broadcast, but hers.

She was the subject of the broadcast, so she shouldn’t get used to Dohyun’s hard carry, even if it was to think about when Dohyun wasn’t there later.

The problem was that there wasn’t much room for her to be active in Samurai Hearts.

In the first place, it was a game called a physical ruined game with few strategic elements.

It was only because Dohyun had never played the game before that there was something she could do, but even that would soon disappear.

She’d rather it be a new game······.

Seung-yeon’s eyes sparkled as she thought that far.

‘No, let’s think about that later. First, I have to announce the voting results.’

“The voting is over. A whopping 107,839 people voted. As you can all see, the voting results show that Sword God Style was chosen. Wow!”

A whopping 100,000 votes!

This meant that most of the people in the broadcast had participated in the vote, and it was also a record that broke Trikey’s highest vote count.

The voting results were a victory for Sword God Style!

1st place Sword God Style – 38,517 votes

2nd place Myriad Sword Style – 35,412 votes

3rd place Thousand Sword Style – 33,910 votes

It was a victory by a relatively narrow margin.

It was also a disappointing result for Seung-yeon, who had hoped that Myriad Sword Style would win.

-also Sword.God.Good

-He’s a god! He’s a god! He’s a god! He’s a god!

-GodGodGodGodGod

-Ah, Myriad Sword Style didn’t make it too bad

-Guaaaaaak

The viewers’ reactions were also divided.

Those who had chosen Sword God Style cheered, and those who had pushed for the other two schools were disappointed.

However, the number of viewers who left the broadcast because they didn’t get chosen was small.

No matter what the sword style was, it was a broadcast that they would watch even if they were curious about what would happen next.

Rather, the number of viewers increased as more people gathered to see the new sword style called ‘Sword God Style’.

“Is it okay to go with Sword God Style?”

Seung-yeon nodded at Dohyun’s question.

Dohyun, who had heard her confirmation, immediately chose the option.

The scrolls that had been floating in front of him disappeared, and the game started again.

Black Wolf continued.

“······Sword God Style.”

“Sword God Style, huh. Heh heh. If I were a warrior, I might have knelt before you and asked you to teach me swordsmanship.”

Tengu’s head turned towards Seung-yeon.

“Come to think of it, I heard that you also contributed to defeating the Sword Saint. Like the successor of Sword God Style here, have you also inherited your own school?”

□ Accept

“Trial of the Three Sword Heroes” event in progress

(New school can be created)

□ Refuse

No event in progress

(Existing school acquired)

And another set of options appears again.

As befits a 2-player game, both are given the opportunity to create a sword style.
