All records go through NoName.
So much to mention that I just summarized it as a time attack addict.
[Comments]
-Are you anti-NoName?
-Wow, a clan! Easier than forming a game guild!
-Let’s change the clan name to “NongNong.”
-Clans often run on connections, but why did they abruptly create one?
-Oh yeah, you know, studying hard to join a clan is a thing, but she just makes one.
-If you call the clan leader someone who can’t even graduate elementary school, is that derogatory?
└ Yes, you can say that~
-Those Japanese crying tears trying to hijack Na-meㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Imagining a Recent Janjeol Clan Meeting]
The four are gathered cozily around a kotatsu.
There’s a basket of tangerines on the table (very important).
Katsuhata is diligently peeling tangerines while NoName and De Sampaio steal one each beside her.
Katsuhata is in tears. The meeting is over.
Ban So-wool is sleeping face down, not caring at all.
Is this the level of madness?
[Comments]
-The clan looks like a messㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It’s summer now and burning hot, what’s with the kotatsu? Do you live in winter alone?
-They made geniuses into total idiots.
-Janjeol Kindergartenㅋㅋㅋ
Many people expressed concern when they heard NoName made her own clan.
The name “Janjeol Kindergarten” wasn’t created for nothing.
What client would willingly trust minors and make contracts?
There was a prevailing opinion that it would be better to enjoy the records as records and not expect much from the outcomes.
However, Janjeol Kindergarten quickly surfaced sooner than expected.
A developer from Resonance Studio hinted at the arrival of an unprecedented combat AI on their SNS, tagging NoName’s account.
[@Wishez → @NoNaMe_11]
[At 7:06 PM tomorrow, an unofficial broadcast about the new combat AI will be held. For those who wanted hardcore mode, you can look forward to it. Soon, ‘Korean difficulty’ will reign in Resonance.]

“Hey, aren’t you all hot? What’s with the kotatsu in this weather?”
Cheon Saetbyeol impulsively bought a kotatsu and set it up in the living room.
Did you really save up enough for that?
I thought someday I would wipe that stash clean.
“Let’s embrace good culture together. Cool heads and warm legs, ah, this is heaven!”
“Do you want a tangerine, Na-me? I’ll peel one for you.”
Emika, sitting in a genteel posture, pointed to the fruit basket.
“I’m fine, I can eat this.”
“Ah! My tangerine!”
“Nom. Not very sweet, huh.”
I snatched a tangerine that Saetbyeol had already peeled and popped it in my mouth.
The thick inner skin of the tangerine lodged in my small throat.
I chewed on the tough skin like gum and said.
“If there’s anything you want me to convey during the broadcast, let me know now. This is the last check, so.”
August’s Resonance Summer Special AI Contest winner, ‘Verstappen.’
This result was set to be revealed during today’s developer’s personal stream.
The developer seemed to have spilled some spoilers to pique the audience’s interest.
Thanks to that, various speculative posts flooded my fan cafe.
After the stream ends, I would be getting deposits, so I need to promote hard.
“I tied the string connected to the sword’s hilt to Verstappen’s wrist. I think it would be good to mention that we can create various attacks with that.”
Saetbyeol shared about the results of what she taught.
“Using the sword like a whip, huh. Can that also increase reach?”
“Of course. The only reason people don’t use swords like that is that they’re afraid of hurting themselves. But if it’s in Demon Beast form, who cares?”
“Okay, noted. Emika?”
“Um, I think I mentioned everything necessary last time. Personally, I’d like the boss to show a noble appearance right before being defeated…? Since he’s a knight who devoted his life to his sword, I wouldn’t want him to appear solely as a monster.”
“Oh, that’s something to relay to the developers, huh? Yeah, I’ll definitely pass that on.”
“Oh, are you leaving now? Have a good stream! I’ll be watching with Emika.”
“Na-me, fighting!”

[Resonance August Crazy New Battle AI Preview]
[Private Room – WishEZ]
“Hello! I’m WishEZ, a developer from Resonance ASI.”
“It’s NoName.”
“Thank you for accepting the invitation. Preview content is definitely more fun with guests involved. I’ll explain the recent Resonance patch, and the new avatar provided by the Janjeol Clan will begin in about 15 minutes. Please bear with us a little longer until then.”
“Can I wear my headset?”
“Of course! You look great, haha.”
Unlike the outsourced world of Wagal, Resonance had specialized ASI personnel.
The private room of the developer, cluttered with Resonance game-related posters.
I quietly enjoyed the commentary of a bald uncle from a position where the camera wouldn’t catch me.
“Next are the adjustment details regarding the Blood War campaign. With the discovery of the passage heading to the boss room, user clear times have significantly decreased, which has greatly reduced the difficulty of the campaign. Therefore, I’m preemptively notifying you all that the performance point weighting for the Blood War campaign will be lowered to about 90% of the current level, meaning those who previously earned 200pp will have that changed to 180pp in the next patch.”
The developer kept reading the script in a composed manner.
After quickly finishing the 15-minute task assigned by the company, I laughed heartily.
“I’ve been intentionally ignoring incoming chats… I know, I know. You all want to see our cute little clan leader instead of a chubby uncle rambling on.”
-Are you the one who knows?
-It’s finally NoName’s turn to come out?
-I know NoName is listening from behind! Mana, hurry up and pop up!
-I’m bummed that I was reaping rewards from Blood War.
When the developer gave me a look, I dragged my chair over and sat next to him.
The previously quiet chat window exploded in an instant.
Seeing the number of viewers rising rapidly, the developer uncle sighed.
-The pink cat headset, kekeke!
-NoName, are you insane!?
-How much love would you get living with that face in reality?
-But why does Na-me appear on the Resonance developer’s stream?
-A bit unexpected, huhㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The developer made brief introductions and shared the news of the August contest’s winners.
“And finally, the most insane AI we’re looking forward to, Verstappen. There’s still a lot of unrefined data, so it will take about two weeks until its official launch.”
I nodded and added.
“This is the first project we launched in the Janjeol Clan. Thankfully, thanks to Resonance’s positive view, we could introduce it to you all.”
“Let’s take a look. What exactly is Verstappen meant to represent?”
“Well, there’s no set concept, so other game developers shouldn’t pay too much attention to what I say.”
The freedom of what story can be told with one ingredient was theirs to decide.
I continued pondering not to overshadow that freedom.
“Technician inspectors pursue perfect technique until death. To create wins in matches of equal strength or wins against weaker opponents. Verstappen is that kind of character. Generally, you could consider him a perfect swordsman in pursuit of perfection.”
“Ah, perfection. Is there a more beautiful resonance in games? And those who chase perfection will inevitably face trials, right? Am I correct?”
“Yes, that’s right. Verstappen underwent enormous trials to the point of losing his mind. Various reasons could include his sworn master dying a tragic death or his beloved homeland perishing. His body gradually changed into non-human forms, like zombies, demons, and monsters.”
“Ah, so the initial concept you suggested was a demonized swordmaster. Everyone, we are now on phase 2.”
“Instincts will prevail, and Verstappen will no longer be able to wield a sword like before. But his disposition to pursue perfection remains. He will engage in much more brutal and powerful attacks intelligently.”
“Wow, already characters with such narratives are popping up in my mind. Perhaps many game companies might want AI remasters. What do you all think?”
The developer WishEZ clapped loudly in admiration.
-Wow, is this the beginning of romance overdose?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-A knight becoming more perfect by abandoning perfection, what a story, wow.
-Exactly like Fever Dream or Moonlight Soul.
-But how did you become number one in-game?
-So you’re saying he was born from the fusion of NoName and Katsuhata?
-It’s a boss monster with the data of a real-life champion, kekeke!
I didn’t skip over the elements Adella and Emika had mentioned.
That Verstappen would not shy away from sacrifice to kill enemies while fighting inner struggles about wanting to remain a noble knight.
I articulated various perspectives to help developers design the boss monster in the future.
“Beyond that, we must not overlook in-game! In fact, we secured permission from Undersoftware to bring in the final boss modeling from Fever Dream. Clan Leader, have you ever played Fever Dream?”
“No, not really.”
“It’s a game featuring vampires. The final boss is a vampire who has lived for 600 years. How about it, want to have a spar?”
The developer lightly suggested I try sparring.
I rolled my eyes, contemplating before deciding to accept.
“That sounds fun.”
