NOVEL NEXT Chapter 583
The lion always gives its best when catching a rabbit.
The top speed of an African lion is 80 km/h.
The Cape rabbit runs at 77 km/h, so if it doesn’t put in full effort while hunting, it will starve to death.
Battles must be desperate.
Predators should feel the fear that if they can’t catch their prey, they might end up being eaten instead.
Prey should carry a slender hope that they can survive even when surrounded on all sides.
Thud thud-
As I was fleeing, I reached up with both hands to grasp a long branch that stretched above me.
Before long, a man wearing a white mask came charging from the opposite direction with an alarming intensity.
Huff.
I took a step back and used a running start to leap across the sunlit river.
Whoosh-
“When did this gimmick appear…?!”
The man quickly glanced left and right, dashing across the bridge that spanned the river.
Crunch-
He stomped on a pile of orange and brown leaves beneath the zelkova tree.
Suddenly, a hand sprang up from the ground, grabbing the thief’s ankle roughly.
[Characteristic: Clone Exchange]
“Now I am the main body.”
“Y-you’re insane…!”
I severed his leg with a dagger as a secondary weapon.
I transformed my healing wand into a massive hammer and slammed it down mercilessly on the man’s head.
Bang bang bang bang bang-!
Leaves scattered everywhere in the wind blowing from the river.
The man gazed at the current outcome with a look of ecstatic joy.
[NoName 
vs White Paragon ]
3 to 2. My victory.
“Is this a healer? Has our healer finally become a broken character?!”
“I told you, if you use a puppet master well, they’re strong.”
“Whew. Thank you, thank you. I will really do my best… I’ll play for eight hours every day…”
Overwhelmed with emotion, the player wept and ascended to the sky.
I joined my hands in prayer for his soul.
“May you continue to be a healer who crushes the heads of thieves.”
And this was just the first match.
The broadcast chat window was in utter chaos.
-Wowwwwwww
-It’s not urban warfare, and he won a head-on fight in the open?
-If that’s the case, anyone can be a healer. Who would play a thief?
-Has the balance completely crashed?
-What’s the clone puppet mastery? They moved almost simultaneously, whoa!
-Don’t whine. He barely won because he perfectly kited while fleeing.
-What’s whining? The healer beat a dual-wielding thief. If that’s the case, why even have advantages?
“If you’re envious, come on in. Two-digit random number for entry.”
[
GodOfDeath(Challenger) has entered the arena.]
“NoName, no matter how you see it, this isn’t right. What are we supposed to do if you shove this kind of spec onto a thief not even used in challenge queues or pro games?”
[system: Please choose a class.]
[NoName(Challenger) – Dual-wielding Thief]
“Then I’ll try being a thief this time. Pick the map and class.”
[GodOfDeath(Challenger) – Dark Priest]
[Map: Remnant Academy]
-Wow, this looks seriously terrible, haha!
-It’s a maze-like map with a wall-piercing dark priest!
-As expected, the sneaky are very sneaky, haha!
-Good job, thief gang~~
-Still, if it’s a thief challenge, the physical skill must be insane.
It took just a minute to win three matches.
I dashed as soon as the match started.
I thrust the blade into the wall and unleashed the aura.
Whoosh-!
In an instant, the dark priest was skewered and fell to the ground.
“I got careless because it’s been a while since I played a dark priest. Let’s do it again.”
Using the thief’s wall-climbing skill, I leaped onto the roof and shut off all the electricity in the academy.
I chased after the dark priest, who fled down to the basement, and divided his body in two.
“Why is the thief so fast…?!”
The dark priest chose to confront me head-on.
Even though he tried to unleash debuff skills frantically, I simply walked up and decapitated the priest.
WHOOSH-!
[NoName vs GodOfDeath]
25 seconds, 1 minute 20 seconds, 11 seconds.
Did it really take 2 minutes to complete three matches?
The viewers, witnessing the devastating aggression of the thief, began to tremble in fear once again.
-It’s just like the old days when healers were trash…!!!
-It wasn’t like this in the previous match.
-I’m so scared, I’m so scared, I’m so scared.
-When NoName plays, everything seems broken now, haha!
-If I play, I win (balance is right).
-What even is this, haha!
-When you said thieves were weak, was Na-me lying again
He won even against an unfavorable match-up, but couldn’t beat a normal match-up.
Challenges continued afterward.
Of course, one-on-one battles rarely happen in Wagal.
However, such super plays will remain in everyone’s memory, including my own.
[NoName | WINS: 30]
“From today, Wagal has changed. If you were so good, you would have won that game.”

[Comments]
-Wagal love, Wagal love, Wagal love, Wagal love!
-Why do we have to beat Resonance? Isn’t it enough for the flagship game of Resonance to be Wagal?
-Wow, Wagal farming is terrifying, whoa!
-NoName, you crazy woman, why do you bring in such bugs?
└ Who’s a bug now?
-It’s nice and warm here~~ Let’s be friendly, Resonance members ^^!
-Da, Na, Me, Na, Me!
The Resonance invasion of World of Arseria has officially begun.
Die-hard Resonance users reluctantly installed Wagal, which they had loathed so much.
Rankers, who couldn’t afford to give up their monetary benefits and prestige based on point rankings.
Surprisingly, the advance teams began to deliver positive signals to the community.
[Wagal Review) These guys were idiots who had been mixing mint chocolate into soup until now.]
Soup just can’t be made badly.
But Wagal, determined to beat Resonance, tried putting mayonnaise and mint chocolate into soup.
As I’ve stressed multiple times, Wagal is already a decent piece if it only had a regular Resonance engine.
After playing the story mode, it felt nice to return to a childlike spirit after a long time.
PvP has a bit of local bullying, but once you learn the basics, you can crush them physically.

-The self-righteousness is disgusting.
-Wagal fans still don’t know well, haha! If that’s what the charming Honkoni said, it’s a huge compliment.
└ Hahaha for real!
└ Shut up and just play, kids.
└ Is it really fun? Should I give it a try, just to see?
-Da Na Me, what on earth are you…
-It’s become a different game in just two weeks, crazy!
All the world’s problems start with money and end with money.
Management typically looks for the maximum value in a trade-off relationship between game quality and profitability.
However, there is often a gap between this point and public perception, causing discontent.
But Na-me, who holds 67% of Wearsoft’s shares, thought differently.
[All users receive a free set of legendary skins worth 5 million KRW, up to 10 types (based on playtime)]
“Feeling relative deprivation because there are no skins? I’ll give them for free.”
[Start Package 1+1 / Crystal Package 2+1]
“Didn’t get what you wanted? Keep trying until you do; we’ll help you.”
[Bruce Marble Event – Collect rare pets from Kaizen World]
“Besides, if you have leftover money, how about trying this as well?”
In-game purchase events are often referred to as selling the future.
Management feared that if users’ expectations became too high, profitability would drop in the long run.
“It’s because you keep rehashing the same things. Just create something that people have to buy again, even if they’ve already bought it.”
As long as losses aren’t incurred, their approach was one of indifference.
On the 6th day of entering Resonance, Wagal simultaneously broke through the walls of China and India.
They recorded a legendary revenue of 10.5 billion KRW in just one day.

Before the first snow could accumulate, it melted away, and the unseasonably warm weather continued into the weekend of November.
Under the warm sunlight, the children got out of the car wearing only a thin jumper.
“Wow, it’s a playground! Mom, why is the playground so big?”
“Right? Who built it so big? Do you want to check it out?”
The child’s eyes widened at the scale of the playground located near the entrance of Guryong Mountain.
A slide over 30m high, a play structure designed like a European castle, and a zip line that spans the playground.
All of these elements promised to satisfy the children’s fantasies.
At the entrance stood a statue of a character from advertising, an ice and fire wizard, welcoming the child.
The child could hardly stay still and gently let go of her mother’s hand.
“You have to take good care of your younger sibling! Got it?”
“Yes! Come on, hold my hand!”
Her younger sister, not yet in elementary school, was wearing cute shoes and grabbed her brother’s hand with her small hands.
Once the siblings started sticking closely together, their mother felt relieved and headed to a bench.
“Let’s try going up there. Follow me.”
“Okay…! Wait a moment, brother! I’m trying to catch up!”
Although he was at an age where the playground might seem boring, the boy enthusiastically climbed the castle.
Crossing the swinging bridge and net bridge, he advanced toward the summit.
“Wow, the line is so long…!”
The slide, which all the children wanted to try, had a massive line that stretched on endlessly.
With an awkward expression while looking at the line, the boy led his sister back through the maze.
They chose a small slide tucked away in a corner.
“Okay, I’m going down! Hold on tight!”
“Waaah!”
“Waaah!”
After sliding down, the siblings soon faced a strange space.
A large truss dome spread out around the arrival point.
At the very top of the dome hung a girl in black sportswear, suspended like a bat.
The children soon locked eyes with a girl that looked closer to their age.
“Yikes!”
“Yaaaah!”
“Hello.”
“Gulp…!”
The siblings were startled.
The girl, resembling a bat, smiled and greeted them.
Two long antennae sprouted from her head, barely brushing the ground.
“Who, who are you?”
The brother bravely asked the cute-smiling girl.
“Eek.”
The younger sister stuck close to her brother, wary of the girl.
The girl closed the hologram she was displaying in front of her and crossed her arms.
“I’m the owner of this playground.”
“There’s an owner?”
“I’m NoName. I built it with my own money, so I’m definitely the owner. If you want to pass through, pay the toll.”
