Episode 259 Chapter 50: Noble Soul (12)

Noble Soul (12)

Aether World Online

A global sensation that has been running for over ten years with thousands of players worldwide.

It wasn't popular from the start. It spread through word of mouth as a romance fantasy genre with exceptional action, attracting numerous gamers.

Baek Yuseol was one of the rare players who had been playing since the game's early days. Because of this, he had heard countless stories from many users, including numerous episodes related to the Twelve Lunar Months.

The item [Bulbul Glasses] contained most of the information recorded in the Aether World community.

However, there was information that couldn't be contained—those 'hidden pieces' that were only talked about among users.

Everyone has a sense of ownership.

When a special hidden piece is discovered in the game, some want to share it, while others want to monopolize it for themselves.

Baek Yuseol remembered all these trivial stories that were only rumors.

The main story in the game?

There were many who didn't know it, even among veterans. So much so that when he asked a seven-year veteran about a character named 'Flame', he got a response like, 'Who's that?'

But in-game information is different.

Veterans collect such information and never forget it.

Baek Yuseol was one of those cases.

He leveled up the highest difficulty character, mastering detailed strategies even for bosses that others would easily defeat, spending dozens of times more time to clear them.

'Silver November.'

The most famous and mysterious of the Twelve Lunar Months.

Many players tried to uncover its secrets, but there was almost no floating information. Luckily, Baek Yuseol learned such rare information from someone he knew.

'Who was that again?'

He often played with this person since the early days of the game. He didn't know their real name or face, but he remembered the ID 'Dalso.'

When he once asked about the meaning of the ID, the answer was, 'It has no meaning.'

One day, this person said,

'Hey, Baek Yuseol. I found out something about the Twelve Lunar Months.'

At that time, the Twelve Lunar Months were almost irrelevant to the main story and had little known rewards, so they were not popular.

So, Baek Yuseol would have responded, 'I don't care.'

But the other person persistently talked about the Twelve Lunar Months.

'Did you know the Twelve Lunar Months originated from the founding magician?'

Some people would have known.

It was common information that came out just by reading the main story.

Unfortunately, Baek Yuseol didn't know and wasn't interested. He was busy finding match opponents at that time, so he tried to give a cursory answer, but the person mentioned something quite interesting.

'If you find the Twelve Lunar Months, your character's stats can permanently increase, or you can get a new skill.'

It would be a lie to say a gamer wouldn't be intrigued. Especially for 'Baek Yuseol's character', who was very hard to acquire useful skills as he specialized in blinking.
