└[Granula: Huh??? That’s Pax??? I saw him in newbie zone???]
└[BeerPint: How’s his skill?]
└[Granula: Didn’t play together, just saw him walking around newbie zone plaza. Caught my eye cause he was wearing the same gas mask as in the video]
└[Gills: Huh did he make the same gas mask item from real life]
└[LevelUpWarrior: Anyone who played games with Pax in newbie zone? Should be someone by now]
└[HunterSSS: (Link) Yesterday someone posted about stagnant water in newbie zone, this gives off Pax vibes]
└[Aurora: Holy shit it’s Pax lololololol]
[There’s stagnant water in newbie zone!!
Author: I’mANewbie
Seems like a secondary account, how do I report??]
└[BulgwangFist: Can’t make secondary accounts in Raon, one account per person is the rule]
└[I’mANewbie: What if you delete the ID and make it again??]
└[BulgwangFist: Even if you remake it, if there’s a record you can’t go to newbie zone. Only real newbies can go there]
└[I’mANewbie: He had expensive items]
└[BulgwangFist: Probably bought them with real money–; There are tons of people who invest over 100 million from the start]
└[I’mANewbie: If it’s not a secondary account it seems like hacks so I’m going to report haha]
└[BulgwangFist: Ah okay..;; Do what you want]
└[HunterSSS: Hey hey (Link) Is the stagnant water you met yesterday this guy?]
└[I’mANewbie: Yes that’s right, tall guy wearing gas mask^^ Reported him]
└[BeerPint: Wow amazing lololololol]
└[HunterSSS: Crazy getting suspected of secondary account and hacks from the start, what the hell did he do]

<You have obtained 10 aggro points.>
<You have obtained 10 aggro points…….>
Pyeonghwa waved his hand to dismiss the system windows. At first it notified him every time he obtained 1 point, but now notifications appeared bundled in sets of 10 points. That’s how considerably aggro points were accumulating.
‘Hehe, who knew drawing aggro from people would also count.’
After finishing the tutorial and returning home, Pyeonghwa fell asleep as if passing out and only opened his eyes a full day later, twisting his stiff body this way and that.
Pyeonghwa gaped at the holograms filling the air. Dozens of system windows, all notifications that he’d obtained aggro points.
Was this a dream? When he pinched his cheek, he felt throbbing pain. Pyeonghwa hurriedly opened his status window. The aggro points had already easily surpassed 30.
He asked the constellation what was going on, but no answer came. It seemed communication with the constellation was impossible except in special situations like the tutorial.
But he could quickly figure it out even without an explanation. That not just monsters, but people could also become targets of aggro. Even in situations where they didn’t meet face-to-face, there were no exceptions.
The aggro points accumulated overnight were extracted from people caught up in the posts and comments Pyeonghwa had left on the internet.
‘Whether the target is a monster or a person, I just need to scratch them?’
Pyeonghwa had heard countless times since childhood that he had a talent for pissing people off. Once he started leaving hate comments in earnest, his infamy spread not just domestically but overseas.
‘……This might actually work?’
Pyeonghwa’s eyes sparkled. If he could collect aggro points without entering gates…… maybe he could actually save the world?
“Ugh.”
His shoulders, which had been lifted with hope, drooped powerlessly. He remembered how he’d boasted to her that he’d live properly.
Pyeonghwa pondered ways to draw people’s attention through methods other than hate comments.
<Mental strength has increased by 1.>
At that moment, as his mental strength rose, his mind, which had been gloomy like it was covered with dark clouds, cleared up.
Right, I’m an awakened individual now. Pyeonghwa opened his status window and distributed the points he’d gained overnight between mental strength and stamina.
<Strength 7
Agility 16
Wisdom 20
Stamina 23
Mental Strength 20
Luck 152>
He could hear it, he could hear it! The sound of his body and mind becoming solid! Pyeonghwa clenched his fist and jumped up.
“That’s it, game streaming!”
He’d thought of a way to both save the world and win her love. Right, right—hater Pax’s game stream!
If he wore an item that covered his face, he could perfectly hide his identity. It was the best method where he could enjoy the game he’d wanted to play so much while accumulating aggro points and keeping his promise to her.

A few days later, the <Last On> dedicated VR device arrived. It was a cylindrical capsule designed for one person to enter. It was bigger than expected, so it had to be installed in the middle of the living room.
The installation engineer explained precautions to Pyeonghwa and had him sign a consent form stating the company wouldn’t take responsibility if problems arose from violating them.
Among those many precautions, what remained in Pyeonghwa’s head was that continuous play time was a maximum of eight hours, that he could reconnect after a certain time had passed, that metal objects must be removed, and that for initial ID creation he had to be naked for the body scan.
The engineer who finished the final safety inspection and stood up tilted his head seeing a baseball-sized round object rolling around on the floor.
“Customer, what’s that?”
“It’s an egg.”
“An egg? How does an egg move by itself?”
“It’s just like that. Here, have a drink.”
“Ah, yes… Thank you. If there are any problems, please contact the number on the business card.”
The engineer walked out the front door holding the apple-flavored drink Pyeonghwa had taken out of the refrigerator. Until the front door closed, his gaze didn’t leave the egg rolling around on the floor.
“Hey, don’t you have any sense? You should’ve stopped on your own.”
Pyeonghwa picked up the egg that had already approached his feet and grumbled. He’d decided to hatch it thinking there must be a reason the constellation gave him the egg, but it was also true he was scared something gross would pop out. The egg following him around wasn’t entirely welcome.
“Wait here. I’m going to play a game.”
Pyeonghwa placed the egg on a soft cushion. After confirming the egg was staying put, he stripped off his clothes. For initial ID creation, he had to be without a single thread on.
Pyeonghwa entered the capsule and pressed the close button. The door automatically closed and his vision became pitch black. After a moment, blue light sparkled and the voice of the AI ‘Future’ echoed through the speaker.
—Would you like to log in?
“I want to make an ID first.”
—Starting scan. Estimated time is 13 minutes.
Wooong. The interior of the capsule vibrated slightly. Blue lighting began scanning Pyeonghwa’s body from head to toe. Over ten minutes later, after even completing iris recognition, Pyeonghwa created the ID ‘Pax.’
