Return of the Frozen Player

’ 

Ha In-Ho unclasped his hands and held his chin.

‘Sonny, was it? He’s super fast.
Not only that, the blade never wavered, and he also has good accuracy.’

The camera slowly panned from the first-person point of view to third-person.

“Huh?” Ha In-Ho slammed the table as he shot up from his seat. 

The moonlight forest.
The four despairing Players and the four angry thunder bears.
Between them stood a single man, covered in jet-black full-body armor. 

“That armor…” 

He was very familiar with it.
After all, it belonged to the Black Knight, otherwise known as Seo Jun-Ho.
Ha In-Ho was able to recognize it instantly because he was also familiar with the man himself. 

At the same moment, he realized why Gong Ju-Ha had been watching so intently the whole time. 

‘Of course… The Princess knows his username.’ 

After getting over his initial shock, Ha In-Ho sat back down. 

Then, he stood up again.
“Why are you taking out a dagger?” 

Seo Jun-Ho was wielding a dagger instead of his signature sword to fight thunder bears. 

‘Not only that, but his level is…’ 

No matter how fast he leveled up after coming to Frontier, he couldn’t have passed level 50 yet.
Ha In-Ho watched in stunned silence, but his concern ended up being unfounded. 

“…” 

Even if all he had was a measly dagger, Seo Jun-Ho was still Seo Jun-Ho.
He ripped apart two thunder bears as if to prove his status.
Not only that but he also used two completely different fighting styles. 

‘So he’s showing off both his speed and strength.’ 

Ha In-Ho sensed what Jun-Ho was trying to convey through the video, and he was truly impressed.

“He’s truly amazing.
I think I understand why Sir Specter chose him as a proxy.”

“…”

Gong Ju-Ha didn’t say anything.
She scrunched her nose. 

Ha In-Ho looked over at her.
“Why are you so quiet? I thought you’d be jumping around and saying ‘I told you so.’”

“…I just.
I’m a little sad.
I don’t think I can call him Mr.
Snake Head anymore, you see.” 

She no longer saw Seo Jun-Ho as a ‘rookie.’ He was now a proper Player, just like her.
The video was proof of that.
“I wonder if Mr.
Sn—I mean, if Mr.
Jun-Ho received guidance from Sir Specter.”

“Huh? Why do you say that?” Ha In-Ho asked. 

“I’ve watched all of Specter’s recordings.
The way they handle the dagger is really similar.”

“Oh, come on.
Even if Specter taught Seo Jun-Ho some things, why would he teach him the dagger? Shouldn’t he train him in the sword instead?”

“…Now that I think about it, you’re right?” She shrugged and started to giggle.
“It has only been a few days since he asked me how he can earn PP… But I suppose he won’t have to worry about that anymore.”

The video titled ‘Test’ was now ranked number 4.

Woosh! 

Seo Jun-Ho grabbed the collar of a thunder bear.
He swung it around, slamming it down.
The spikes of ice on the ground pierced right through its heart. 

Seo Jun-Ho wiped his sweat and complimented the Frost Queen.
“Phew, good job.”

“You do not need to tell me so.
I always do a good job.”

Four days had already passed since they entered the forest of thunder bears, and they had managed to reach their goals. 

“Out of the three objectives I set…”

They had completed two so far.
He had reached level 50 and learned how to fight alongside the Frost Queen.
The last thing he needed to do was earn PP, and he was already halfway there. 

‘I already got 400 PP from Pompeii’s party.’ 

However, he hadn’t checked the performance of the ‘Test’ video just yet.
He had promised the Frost Queen that they would only check it once they were done hunting. 

“Do you want to eat your snacks first, or do you want to check the results first?” Seo Jun-Ho asked.

“Hm…” She looked up at the sky, considering this for a second before she spoke, “Let us check the result.
I am very curious about it.” 

As she fluttered over and settled on his shoulder, Seo Jun-Ho opened the community forums and entered the video forum.

‘The rankings… Not there, of course.’ 

It had only been a few days since they uploaded it.
He touched the hologram window to open his video. 

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Both the Spirit and the human had the same reaction.
Seo Jun-Ho blinked, and the Frost Queen chewed her lip.

“Uh… I’m not sure what this means.
Is this a lot, or a little?” he asked. 

“I-I am not quite sure either.
The other videos in the forum usually only had a few hundred views…”

Seo Jun-Ho’s heart started to pound with anticipation.
It reminded him of back when he sat in front of the monitor, waiting to hear back from the colleges he had applied for. 

“Let’s see how much PP it earned…”

Their eyes slowly turned downward. 

 

PP earned: 1,760

PP donated: 1,153

 

2,913 PP combined.
Adding the PP he already had, he now had 3,313 PP in total. 

“Is 3,313 a lot?”

“Based on the video’s fine performance, I do not think that this is a small amount.”

Intrigued, Seo Jun-Ho checked the comments.
Surprisingly, the video had several thousands of comments. 

“Why are there so many?” 

He couldn’t quell his curiosity and quickly opened the comment section.
