[Is the sudden update because of Lily?]
Author: LilyLily
(A clip from the official notice of the Devil of Angel site)
Isn’t it strange that a game that only updates once a year and rarely touches small events suddenly decides to update?
And for the reason of system stabilization?
If you listen to Lily talking about stability and problems, it seems like it’s because of her, right? Am I wrong?

─ Lily can’t handle the system;;
─ That’s hilarious
─ As expected of Lily lol I knew it~
─ No way, in a god game like Deoen that has no bugs or hacks, suddenly instability…
└ Lily really cheating?
└ No way. Just a glitch, right?
└ Lily is definitely a bug.
└ Lol for real
└ But if it really is Lily’s fault, does that mean she’s getting stopped? Because she looked like she was grabbing her chest and causing a ruckus.
└ No way
└ That can’t be true lol Just a problem that needs fixing.
└ Lily lesbian, huh…
─ The whole mischievous thing is indeed a problem ㅇㅇ
└ Agreed lol
└ But I saw that too and tried it with my girlfriend, but it only worked over her clothes. Seems like only Lily can do that?
└ ?
└ That’s a lie, right?
└ That’s lame
└ Don’t date in the game!

[After seeing this update, I suddenly started to get scared]
Author: DanKal
Isn’t it true that Deoen itself having stamina and health levels makes it really tiring just like real life? Honestly, that’s whatever, though.
But now that hidden jobs or race traits are coming out with mental penalties, it’s been a huge controversy.
Right now Leo is basically a different person in real life compared to the game.
But back then there were no talks about stabilization or anything, then suddenly as soon as Yena collapses, they go and update?
Isn’t this making Deoen influence reality now?
Last time Lily collapsed after using her techniques and went missing for a day or two, and this time when Yena collapsed, Lily’s expression got super serious.
Isn’t there a real problem here?

─ Novel? Nah
─ What?
─ Lol
─ Can you at least separate reality and games lol If that were possible, Deoen would have already failed.
└Seriously, if they can change people’s minds, how can they not do that with reality?
└Yeah
└Fact: Even if Leo behaves strangely, he returns to normal as soon as he’s back in reality.
└What if that’s not normal? What if it’s actually made to perceive as normal?
└Oh wow
└Like a mind hijack? Haha
└That’s scary
─ What kind of dystopian nonsense is this? Realistically, that can’t be possible.
└So… does a virtual reality game that’s exactly the same as reality even make sense?
└LMAO
└The Nutri folks are making aliens captive, so that’s believable, right?
─Fact) Regardless of the controversy, I’ll be playing Deoen just the same tomorrow.
└Fact 2) I’m playing it right now.
└Fact 3) The connection rate for Deoen is still on the rise at this very moment.
└LOL
─Wait, wasn’t Deoen reality?
└For real, Deoen is already reality though, haha.
└Agreed, haha.
└Ah, so the fake is the reality and Deoen is the real deal, lol.

Luckily, Yena was safe.
After the lecture, I went to Yena’s house to check on her and it seems she’ll be able to return in about a week.
By the way, we decided to pretend that the spear’s roar homework I assigned to Yena never existed.
To be exact, it’s already considered a success.
Although the system made it successful, if it hadn’t been for the restrictions, she would have succeeded long ago with her talent.
Sure, she almost died for it, but still.
‘So what about the Green Hermit…?’
‘Go ahead and keep using it until I gather everything.’
‘Wow.’
Yena was happy even while lying down, and I planned to give her the extra stuff when I log in to Deoen later.
For now, it’s better to take it easy and not overexert myself.
“…By the way.”
I’m reading a post linked in the Discord room.
It’s from today. A post on the official site of the Devil of Angel.
[Emergency Update – System Stabilization.]
The short and concise title felt very different from the usual posts.
A brief statement of five lines.
“Strengthening existing system stability and changing to apply systems that were previously not applicable in certain situations…”
Hmm.
Drip drip.
It’s definitely a post devoid of the usual embellishments.
It must have been written by someone other than the usual site administrator.
Somehow…
I looked out beyond the window.
Even from a considerable distance across the Han River, the building was tall enough to be seen at a glance.
Nutri Company.
The top floor, located on the uppermost level, caught my eye.
At this point, I’m starting to piece things together.
“…I can’t storm in there, can I?”
There is something up there, not human.

A week has passed.
Yena returned with the tagline “Resurrection Yena Land!” and I continued the broadcast while tackling dungeons and rank battles.
People were asking about Yena, me, and the sudden updates, but I just dodged their questions.
It’s not like they’d understand even if I explained, and it’s a bit awkward to put into words anyway.
It’s nonsense.
For now, it’s best to just let it slide.
Nutri seems to want that too.
Actually, Yena has become even stronger since her return.
In the rank battle I tested, she crushed her opponent in an instant.
Wearing mythical equipment, at this rate, she’ll quickly break into the top ranks.
“I won. Again.”
And I too.
[Blue WIN!]
[Challenger 1152 Points -> Challenger 1153 Points.]
[You earned 20 Honor.]
[Winning Streak Bonus! Earned 50 Honor.]
[Ranking has risen. 38th -> 37th.]
161 matches, 161 wins, 0 losses.
I’ve climbed to rank 37 without ever losing a single match so far.
It was tough to gain points as a master; I barely scraped by, but whenever I found time, I’d win, win, and win again to get this far.
Even winning gives only 1 or 2 points, ugh.
[Lily! Lily! Lily! Lily!]
[No way she’s gonna lose, lol.]
[What’s with the 100% win rate, haha.]
[As expected, bug character Lily, omg.]
[Wow.]
[Great Empire Lily, lol!]
[The undefeated myth, Lily, ; ;]
[Is Lily a god?]
[I was just fighting Black last round and he got wiped in 5 seconds, is that real? LOL.]
[Right now, the only ones who can stop Lily are Leo and Sword Saint.]
[Wow.]
[But seriously, what is the Sword Saint doing?]
I returned to the arena waiting room from the battlefield.
I’d like to rank up a bit more, but since challengers can only match with masters and other challengers, it takes a long time to find a battle.
Even if I wait for hours a day, I can only get a maximum of 5 matches.
I wish I could call rankers like Yena or Leo to fight, but once a user is matched, they can’t be matched again for a certain period.
Most importantly, it’s also abusive.
“I guess I should call it a day. I don’t think I’ll get matched again.”
[Ah.]
[ㅠㅠㅠ]
[It can’t be helped if I don’t get matched, lol.]
[Deoen really needs to increase the master pool; there are only 5000 masters across the entire server. Isn’t that ridiculous?]
[For real, lol.]
[I thought I would hit top 30 today.]
[It really doesn’t get matched, huh.]
[Masters have a lot of parkers.]
[If only half of the parkers played, there wouldn’t be such issues, for real.]
[Parkers are the worst.]
I found out after reaching master tier that once you get to master, there are many who don’t participate in PVP, known as “parkers.”
Until now, I’d always fought against players of my tier, but starting from master, there’s a chance to face challengers, who are at a higher level.
What are the odds of a newly promoted master beating a challenger?
They must have decent gear and skills to make it to master, but there’s no way they can win against “high rankers” within the top 100.
Climbing up the ranks means having good gear and skills, but you won’t stand a chance against ‘High Rankers’ in the top 100.
Let alone if you run into a ranker like ‘Leo,’ who could wipe out an entire nation…
“There’s no hope.”
In the end, it’s better to play a couple of matches to avoid getting demoted to Diamond than to lose for no reason.
I checked the date while preparing to end the broadcast.
“It’s already July.”
July.
The time when the weather starts to heat up.
It’s been almost five months since I returned, and a lot has happened during that time.
But I feel like even more is about to happen.
Especially for Deoen.
[Here comes…]
[DCK?]
[It’s a Siege War]
[Finally]
[Deoen’s season has arrived, haha]
[Is the Sword Saint coming?]
[Come back, Sword Saint!!]
July is the month with two large-scale events.
■
DCK.
Short for Devil of Angel Champions Korea, it’s Deoen’s professional tournament in Korea.
The professionals all have outstanding skills, but they’re not necessarily in the top echelons.
The Sword Saint, Leo, Black, and others in the single-digit rankings aren’t professionals, and many other rankers don’t pursue a pro career.
That’s why some people ask, “Is this really a tournament for professionals?” but that’s not entirely wrong.
Ranked 4th, Choco.
High rankers like Raphael of the Angel Guild are also active in the pro scene, and they operate as a “team.”
Since it’s about teamwork rather than individual fights, you can’t simply gauge skill based on rank duels.
It’s a team battle that requires balance, so individual strength doesn’t always lead to victory.
“Of course, Leo and the Sword Saint are exceptions.”
I’ve never met the Sword Saint, but if he’s stronger than Leo, then team battles mean nothing.
With a level like Leo’s, he could probably win most matches solo.
“That being said…”
Frankly, I don’t have much interest in DCK itself.
I’d like to watch at least one of Choco’s matches, but right now I’m more drawn to the Siege War.
Moreover, if it’s a siege battle over a “castle,” then surely…
Ding!
