NOVEL NEXT Chapter 633
After the announcement of PMAAS (Procedural Memory Assist Action System).
Gamers were merely guessing that it was just a feature to customize assist actions.
In some zombie games, you could assign up to 10 assist actions per character, and veterans would even set hotkeys for each finger.
– Did you just use an assist action? I had no idea.
– Old-timers jumping in surprise from their graves.
– Wow, this is the endgame content, huh?
– If build tweaks are done with actual martial arts, there’s no way the well’s gonna run dry, lol.
– Demon beasts, here we go! It’s time for a crazy face-off!
While the veterans had no reason to welcome it,
– Isn’t this just Dead Escape?
– Do I really have to watch the older players go 4-2-5-6-3-6-7-10-1-1-3 again?
– Ugh, no way;;
– Assist notes… Ugh, my head…!
– Ugh, I can’t even study in a game…
They expressed concerns over how the entry barrier for new users was becoming excessively high.
Is Wagal also beginning its descent like other games?
“I gave the wrong example. Luri, how about you try next?”
“Yes, Eomeoni.”
“The demon beasts of Kaizen are very stubborn and persistent. They often swarm you and put you in a tight spot. What do you need then?”
“To break through a point.”
“Exactly. When advancing, use the 5-style Heart Piercing technique. If they push you back, you need to use the 20-style Crescent Slice, and if you’re pushed away, the 8-style Falling Leaf technique. However, the concept of being pushed or pulled is like the waves of the sea, just momentarily brushing past; it requires you to instinctively distinguish and react to that flow.”
In practice, there’s no one who thinks, ‘If the opponent attacks like this, I should use this technique.’
Only instinctive movements based on countless training can create a person’s skill.
Na-me completed her assist actions while practicing three herbivorous techniques and three interactions with Luri.
As a result,
[50 Hyenas of Ratankhan]
A horde of hyena demon beasts showing their yellowed teeth with dark mana in their mouths.
With an astounding number of 50, the viewers clicked their tongues.
Even low-level minions could be a nightmare if they rushed you in masses.
If one encountered this kind of legion in the field, they’d simply log out and delete the game.
But…
‘Eomeoni’s wisdom is in my hands…’
CRUNCH-!
A feeble sword radiated energy, exploding the heads and bellies of the beasts in one blow.
SPLIT-!
The demon beasts pouring forward in long triangular formations split into two.
Like the miracle of Moses, the parting waves surged from both sides to overwhelm Luri.
Leaping above the beasts, Luri executed what appeared to be flawless swordsmanship in the eyes of an ordinary person.
[Imperial Palace Swordsmanship Style 20 – Crescent Slice]
A blue crescent descends upon a golden wheat field.
And above it, the corpses of the beasts piled high like mountains.
Where does the assist action begin and end?
“From start to finish.”
Naturally, it can’t be distinguished.
It’s as if a brand new brain has been created within a person.
Na-me crossed her arms and smiled.
“Doesn’t it feel tempting?”
After defeating all the demon beasts, Luri suddenly felt cold and looked at Na-me.
The eyes of Na-me, shining brighter than the sun, blazed ominously as she silently stared at the viewers.
It was the expression she made when she was about to do something sneaky.
“Aren’t you curious? What would happen if all the aura techniques in this world gathered in one place? Would it reveal who is superior, combine into one, or would one vanish entirely?”
Na-me spread her arms wide.
“Show the world your unique assist action, adventurers. Its value will be evaluated by the public in the future.”
And always about the monetization policy at the start.
Na-me would not break this rule either.
“There will be various free or paid martial arts registered in the Assist Action Shop, so I recommend trying out different ones. Also, I wish the creators could achieve wealth and fame in the harsh capitalist world.”
The viewers quickly understood the meaning.
They could create assist actions themselves but could also download builds made by others.
– Wow, can that wizard family really not create a stellar aura technique?
– It would be a blast if Shaolin’s seventy-two skills came out, lol!
– If done right, isn’t this a golden opportunity to rake in cash?
– Martial arts money duplication cheat, oh dear!
– NoName is ruthless… They’ve made it so you have no choice but to spend money just to play!
– (purchasing paid DLC)
– Does buying the beginner package for 5,000 won make me a loser?
– Cyber martial arts battle ON
One viewer from China made such a review after watching Na-me’s broadcast.
– PMAAS is mana control. The heavenly martial arts encompassing swordsmanship, boxing, and divine techniques have descended into the present world…
Did the ancestors know?
The ultimate martial arts of everything, the all-encompassing martial arts.
That the driving force of the heavenly martial arts, which only existed in legends, was capitalism.
“Everyone, strengthen yourselves and come back.”
January 2054.
Heavenly Demon NoName declares the unification of martial arts!
*
1 hour after the release of the “World Tree’s Kyraal Property” DLC.
As news from the vanguard units stopped, everyone grew anxious.
The first review was registered in the concept post.
[PMAAS is really something][63]
The old folks of Wagal likely squinted and couldn’t even start the game as they were busy tweaking AA.
I, feeling lazy, just spent 100,000 won on Na-me’s 100 herbivore-action package from the AA shop to start right away.
For those saying I squandered 100,000 won, let me tell you:
(PMAAS creation screen screenshot.jpg)
It has a ton of features, and there’s even AI reinforcement learning, so I poked at it a few times and gave up since my dumb brain couldn’t handle it…
But applying the assist action is super simple—just follow what Na-me showed on her broadcast, and it works out great (it took about 30 minutes for all 100, though T_T).
Anyway, here’s the review:
(Solo play, defeating the Lycoss Knights.mp4)
PV 
, deepfake , all in-game play, yep!
Do you believe this is the gameplay of a former season-raider?
It feels like I’m barely grasping 10% of the potential, but it’s just super enjoyable, lol!
It’s hard to explain, but it’s like when your dad holds the back of your bike when you’re a kid.
Yet if I fight too much, my AA gets depleted, and I die, but for now, I feel like a talent-god, so it’s hella fun.
But the game difficulty is still tough, even at 3/3/3, so keep that in mind.
Gotta go research for one more hour, bye!

– But you don’t seem like a regular person? Did you come from the Academy?
└ (author) Nope, has no relation to that. Just an ordinary office worker.
└ That’s amazing, lol!
– Wow… I feel like I wouldn’t be able to breathe in that chaotic battle.
└ I can’t deal with how terrifying the DLC looks after watching that, lol!
– What part of that did you use assist action?
└ The advancement of the world is truly frightening.
– With this skill, would you have had 1 million subscribers if you livestreamed 5 years ago?
– Former season raider? Even in Master mode, it’s rare to see someone that crazy measuring distance like that.
Starting from the office worker’s review, the floodgates for reviews burst open.
Many still didn’t quite understand the principle of PMAAS.
[It looks like all the breadcrumbs have finally come together][83]
– The reason the Ricci Group promoted Wagal → Co-developed PMAAS with the San Raffaele Biotechnology Research Institute.
– The reason everyone’s skills leveled up due to PMAAS → Because it’s a mana technique that makes third-rate warriors into first-rate warriors.
– The reason PMAAS was introduced into virtual reality → Because NoName is a Heavenly Demon.

– (!!! Na-me-con)
– You! You’ve revealed your true identity!
└ They always said to be cautious around women and children in the 21st century, tsk tsk.
– (Silliness-con)
– NoName is truly a famous heavenly demon.
– Heavenly Demon Na-me, the embodiment of fortune!
– Which martial arts novel depicts a scenario where Shaolin and Mudang plead with the demonic sect for acceptance, lol!
└ I also want to make money, Heavenly Demon!
└ Na-me pulling off this difficult task is truly impressive!
Players, enchanted by the newly revamped assist actions, found it hard to move on to other regions.
[Is it fun just beating scarecrows in the beginning village? lol]
└ For real!
└ This is the game, this is the essence of Yas! lol!
└ Hurry up with the AA updates, golden hands!
└ It’s amusing how third-rate Nureongi is dictating to the ultra-elite, haha!
└ Global regional war level, oh dear!
With the martial battle once seen as too distant for the general public,
the experience of breaking free from the system’s control and achieving one’s own martial prowess became an unforgettable memory.
[Finally beginning the Assist Action Ranking War, lol!][103]
Assist Action Shop’s paid daily ranking
「#1. Imperial Palace Swordsmanship Beginner Package – NoName
#2. Imperial Palace Swordsmanship Intermediate Package – NoName
#3. 18 Dragon Styles (Stephen Chow ver.) – Mysterious Genius Martial Artist (New!)」
Stephen Chow, you’re hilarious, lol!
[Comments]
– Is this an implementation of the film that just came out?
└ Yep, lol!
└ Just thinking about it makes it exciting, haha!
– For a fan-made project, the quality is insane.
– The uploads are lightning-fast; are you a pro? Woah!
– Na-me kept it secret all this time to ensure fair competition, lol.
└ What difference does it make if they upload it sooner?
└ They have to settle earnings based on download numbers, you know.
It’s no surprise that the 18 Dragon Styles exceeded 1 million downloads within a week.
Danny Yang, a wizard whose works had been quietly ostracized for poor performance within the Hong Kong Soho faction.
[Settlement Amount: ₩5,182,492,495]
He suddenly transformed from a hobbyist who could handle martial arts into a nationwide star, with 5 billion won in settlement money.
Only then did global clans and sects start to feel a sense of crisis.
The reason they didn’t sell their martial arts, despite being able to, was both the rarity and the preservation of face.
Na-me burst through the fragile implicit agreements like a balloon being poked with a needle.
[Shaolin, prepares for the public edition of the Seventy-Two Exclusive Techniques announcement]
[Mudang Sect, Hongsung O-Dragon Palace Martial Arts Team, announces production of the Three Elements of Destiny Sword Assist Action]
After hundreds of years wrapped in veils,
Marvelous treasures began emerging into the world that could only be seen during national exchange tournaments.

[#38. Seventy-Two Exclusive Techniques – Shaolin (New!)]
[Rating: ★★☆]
“This was a shabby martial art?”
– Omg, lol!
– Don’t you dare prod the absolute martial arts with Na-me around!
– Shabby~
Shabby~ Not worth absorbing into martial artistry~ Third-rate warriors would even pass on this shabby stuff~
– They say it’s a revised version, but something feels off…
– Chinese folks are weeping, lol!
– Was it really worth all the fuss over building a temple and causing a ruckus for this? Haha!
It seems like all martial arts are in for re-evaluation soon.
