Chapter 184
As expected, the name Swallow was fake, and his name in the real world—Billy Gatiss—was fake as well.
The real character name of the American Adventurer was actually Wagon, and he was a dirtbag streamer who mostly posted indecent videos of female NPCs he managed to seduce.
Wagon posted his information on his G-Tube homepage.
[Wagon]
[Type: Adventurer]
[Level: 233]
[Affiliation: N/A]
[Class: Heavy Shooter]
[Arena Rank: Super Total Expert III]
[Titles: Pickup Artist, Skilled Liar, Dirty Cassanova, Girl Collector, Pimp, Underwear Collector, Girl Hunter, King of P2P: Adult Contents, etc…]
His titles alone made it clear to anyone just what kind of a dirtbag Wagon was. He was a scumbag who would approach and seduce female NPCs using all sorts of lies in an effort to turn them into his playthings.
It seemed that he wasn’t a weak Adventurer judging by his Arena rank of Super Total Expert III.
However, what truly separated him from the other dirtbags was the fact that he had a link on his G-Tube homepage that would redirect people to his personal website, where he sold explicit images and uncensored videos of his NPC victims.
The videos he uploaded on G-Tube were heavily edited to barely avoid getting flagged as inappropriate. It was his way of marketing his videos to find customers willing to pay for the raw, uncensored videos.
In short, he was using G-Tube to promote his personal porn site.
“This piece of trash… Isn’t he being too much? Is this something a human being can do? I mean, I know it’s just a game, but he’s crossing the line…!” Tae-Sung gnashed his teeth.
“I know. That’s why I’ve been calling him a fucker,” Cheon Woo-Jin replied.
“But does this even make sense? Is it possible to snap a screenshot or film a video while using adult content?”
“Yeah, I’ve tried…”
“You tried…?”
“Ah!” Cheon Woo-Jin suddenly flinched and covered his mouth.
“You piece of trash…” Tae-Sung scolded under his breath.
Cheon Woo-Jin immediately tried to come up with an excuse, “N-No, that’s not it. I took it for myself only… Ehem…?Ehem…?It wasn’t with an NPC but with another female gamer, and we agreed. Yes, it was consensual, and we have a copy …”
“Why do you do those kinds of things?”
“It’s an adult thing… Yeah, something like that…”
“But is Hive or G-Tube not going to do anything about this? This is crossing the line… The NPCs have rights as well, and it’s just porn at the end of the day…”
“It’s America. Besides, have you ever seen Hive do anything other than control the number of users and run the game? They don’t give a rat’s shit about anything else other than that,” Cheon Woo-Jin said with a shrug.
“Then, what about G-Tube? Are they not going to do anything with that porn site?” Tae-Sung retorted.
“It’s all legal. To be precise, virtual porn is legal in the state where that fucker lives. I think it’s impossible to legally access that fucker’s site from Korea. You will probably run into a warning message or something.”
Cheon Woo-Jin was right. Tae-Sung clicked on Wagon’s personal website, and he was greeted with a warning message.
“Anyone that does the same shit he does is going to end up behind bars in Korea, but…”
“I guess so.”
“Anyway, you found what you’re looking for, but it’s not what that NPC is looking for, I guess?”
“Y-Yeah…”
Cheon Woo-Jin was right when Tae-Sung thought about it. Who could have known that the man Julianne loved turned out to be an unsalvageable piece of trash?
“How should I break the news to her… Ugh…”?Tae-Sung groaned.
He had somehow managed to find out Swallow’s identity thanks to Cheon Woo-Jin’s help, but he now had another dilemma.
“It says here that he’s going to do a live event tomorrow, so why don’t you find out where he is on the continent and go catch him?” Cheon Woo-Jin suggested after reading the announcement on Wagon’s G-Tube.
It seemed that Cheon Woo-Jin knew how to speak English.
“I should probably do that,” Tae-Sung responded with a nod.
***
The next morning, Tae-Sung watched Wagon’s stream with Cheon Woo-Jin’s help.
“I thought his content was to go around flirting with NPCs? Why is he in a dungeon?” Tae-Sung tilted his head in confusion while watching the stream.
Tae-Sung was confused when Wagon suddenly appeared on stream fully armed and standing in a field of snow.
“I think it looks like a dungeon… Hold on, let me listen to what he’s saying,” Cheon Woo-Jin said. He listened intently to what Wagon was saying on the stream.
“What’s he saying?” Tae-Sung asked.
“Hmm… So that fucker is saying…” Cheon Woo-Jin translated what Wagon was saying.
[Hello, friends. Today will mark the thirty-seventh day I have entered this dungeon. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. It’s too cold here.]
[To be honest, this dungeon is a repulsive place to be. You can’t leave this place unless and until you kill all of the monsters and the boss. You will be stuck here even if you die!]
[My friends! Someone come and help me leave this place! I beg you! I can’t seem to clear this place on my own! This dungeon is the seventy-seventh Dimensional Rift located in the northern area of the Macallan Kingdom! Help me!]
[Damn it… It seems that there’s nobody… All right, I guess I have no choice but to challenge this damned dungeon again…]
[Ah, I’ve finished editing the uncensored version of the eighty-eighth video. I will be uploading it on my personal website tonight, so I hope you guys will like it! Keke!]
“On a side note—this bitch was feistier than any of the other ones I fucked—is what he says,” Cheon Woo-Jin translated.
“There’s no need to translate things like that. I don’t want to know about it,” Tae-Sung grumbled with a disgusted look.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“What else? I’ll go catch him.”
“You’re going into that dungeon?”
“Then, what other choice do I have? He’s stuck in that dungeon, so I just have to drag him out of it, right?”
“I guess…”
“I’ll be going, then. Take care on your way back.”
“Wow… Look at this guy throwing me aside after using me till the last drop…”
“That’s life. Get used to it, buddy.”
“…”
“Ciao~”
Tae-Sung immediately headed home and entered his VR capsule.

‘Should I just say he died…?’?Siegfried was faced with a dilemma while he was on his way to capture Wagon.
It could be for the better if he just lied to her. She was pitiful, but it seemed better for her to just let her live with the good memories she had of him.
How could cope with the fact that the man she loved turned out to be a one-of-a-kind scumbag? How could she cope with the fact that the intimate memories she shared with that man were broadcasted for the world to see?
Julianne would definitely fall into shock upon learning the truth of the matter, and she could end up either taking her own life or doing something to the baby.
“Hey, owner punk. What are you thinking of right now? You don’t look so good,” Hamchi said.
“That’s…” Siegfried shared his concern with the giant hamster.
“I see… It might be better to tell her that he died instead. I mean, what if something happens to the baby…? Kyu…”?
“Yeah, that’s why I’m thinking about what to do right now… I think it’s much better to just tell her that he died.”
However, the thought of lying did not sit well with him.
“There’s no such thing as a perfect lie, and if she finds out the truth later on, then…”
“Kyu…”
“Ah, What should I do…?”
Siegfried continued to think about his dilemma until he arrived in front of the seventy-seventh Dimensional Rift located in the northern region of the Macallan Kingdom.
“Your Majesty.”
Gringore suddenly called out to him.
“Fuck! You scared me!” Siegfried jumped up in surprise.
Gringore had a strange talent; he was talented at erasing his presence from other people’s minds despite being present the entire time.
In fact, he had been following Siegfried all this while. However, he hadn’t really been doing anything other than observing Siegfried, so the latter ended up forgetting him.
“The Julianne I know is…”
“Yeah…?”
“She will definitely get hurt by it, but she will be able to overcome it in no time.”
“Really?”
“Lying to her is the crueler thing to do. Won’t she miss him for the rest of her life if Your Majesty tells her that she died? I believe that doing that is going to be much more painful for her.”
“That makes sense… Thank you for your advice, Scribe Gringoire,” Siegfried said.
“Not at all, Your Majesty.”
“Then, shall we go and catch that fucker?” Siegfried said. He approached the knight guarding the Dimensional Rift and showed the ring he had received from the Martial God Temple.
“Heok!?A Hero rank!” the knight exclaimed.
“Yeah…” Siegfried muttered while feeling embarrassed.
“However, there is another Adventurer inside the dimensional rift, so it is not possible for you to enter. However, he has been in there for thirty-seven days now,” the knight said with a troubled look.
“Can’t you make an exception?”
“As I have mentioned, the rules state that we are to prevent any other Adventurer’s entry into the dimensional rifts if someone else is already inside.”
“Still, that’s…”
“I apologize, but we cannot let you enter.”
“The fact that he has been in there for thirty-seven days means that he lacks the ability to reset the Dimensional Rift, right?”
“I still cannot let you enter.”
“But, Knight-nim… What's your rank?” Siegfried asked out of the blue.
“Pardon me?” the knight tilted his head in confusion.
“I said, what’s your rank?”
“I am a captain… but why…?”
“Hey, captain,” Siegfried said in a different tone, “I’m an Adventurer, but I served as the Lieutenant Colonel of the army at the Arachnid Temporary Outpost.”
“L-Loyalty! My name is Captain Samuel, sir! I apologize for failing to recognize you, sir! But… may you kindly let me know your name?” the knight asked.
“My name is Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried.”
“Heok!?Are you really Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried?!” Samuel exclaimed.
“Hmm? Do you know me?”
“General Overlock has instructed us to fully cooperate with you, Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried, should you ask for anything, sir!”
“General Overlock? Did he get promoted?”
“Yes, sir!”
“I see…”
“Please go ahead and enter, Sir Siegfried. You are exempted from the rules, sir!”
“Thanks.”
Siegfried managed to enter the seventy-seventh Dimensional Rift thanks to his accumulated accomplishments.
***
The seventy-seventh Dimensional Rift was also called Cursed Winter Forest.
Wagon was currently fighting the Frozen Chameleon, which was a Named Monster.
“Fuck! Fuck!”
Wagon kept on cursing at the top of his lungs while unleashing a barrage of bullets at the Frozen Chameleon, but he couldn’t land a single clean hit. The Frozen Chameleon was extremely fast, and it had a cloaking ability that made it difficult to hit.
The main issue was the fact that Wagon was a ranged damage dealer, but he entered the dungeon on his own without any teammates.
Kwachik!
In the end, Wagon was trapped beneath the Frozen Chameleon’s foot.
“Ugh…?Am… Am I going to fail again today…? This damned place…!”
Whiiiish! Bam!
A hammer suddenly flew out of nowhere and buried itself in the Frozen Chameleon’s head.
“W-Who’s there?!” Wagon shouted in surprise.
“You asked for help, right? I’m here to save you,” Siegfried replied with his hand extended toward Wagon after using Flying Spur to kill the Frozen Chameleon.
Wagon grabbed Siegfried’s hand and stood up. “Oh! Did you come here to save me after seeing my SOS, bro?”
“Yes,” Siegfried nodded before explaining, “I’m a fan. Although I have to change my IP a few times since it’s difficult to access your uncensored content in Korea…”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
Wagon cast his Rune of Insight at Siegfried after the latter claimed to be his fan.
“Seggs Stamina King? Wow!”
Wagon’s face lit up after seeing Siegfried’s Seggs Stamina King title.
“We’re kindred spirits! Oh my god! Who could have known that a fellow man of culture would come here to save me?!”
“What?”
“I also have a title related to sex!” Wagon exclaimed. Then, the title Seggs Stamina Playboy popped up above his head.
Ding!
The title started flashing in pink.
“I’m just a playboy, but you’re a king? Oh! My! God!?How many women have you fucked to become a king of sex?! I have a lot to learn from you, bro!”
Kwachik!
Siegfried gripped his hammer so tightly that it made an audible noise.
Siegfried’s face was distorted in anger as he thought, ‘Should I kill this bastard first?’
He could have never imagined that the scumbag in front of him would treat him as a kindred spirit.
