Chapter 180
└ So what’s the ending here?
└ What ending?
└ The whole report thing. Someone said they reported Do-Jin to the Celestial See, but nothing happened after that.
└ They said the Celestial See was “assessing the situation.” But if nothing’s come out, wasn’t it all bullshit?
└ Nah. Maybe it’s actually screwed him so hard that they’re scrambling behind the scenes.
After one user claimed they’d reported him to the Celestial See, both Do-Jin and everyone around him went completely silent. People began throwing out theories left and right. Starting from day two, that speculation spiraled into something weird. Everyone split into factions, each side insisting their theories were correct, and the arguments devolved into all-out war.
└ You idiots can screech all you want. It won’t change anything.
└ He probably shut the stream because it was too noisy, and now he’s clearing every dungeon on the Floating Continent.
└ Classic Do-Jin move. He clears everything first and then posts the video receipts.
Do-Jin’s fans weren’t happy with the situation at all. While his silence dragged on, they posted everywhere, insisting the report meant nothing. Theresa’s stream had also become inactive, so the chance to watch the party’s hunts live had vanished. Their frustration was intense, but the haters were just as loud.
└ Yup. Your precious Do-Jin probably already got dragged into the Celestial See’s basement LOL
└ If nothing was wrong, they’d have posted a notice or a video by now.
└ Maybe he’s actually screwed beyond repair and can’t even log in. He’s probably drinking soju at home and crying. What a loser.
Do-Jin’s anti-fans erupted like they’d been waiting underground for years. They’d lived in the shadows until now, and finally, they got to strut out into the open.
[Title: I did my part and supported our brave whistleblower]
[I didn’t even have to go to the Celestial See HQ. Every temple falls under the Celestial See anyway. Just walk into any of them and file a report. The priest was super kind about it. Said if the guy really has ties to vampires, there’s no escaping punishment. Tip: go to a temple with a cute priestess so you can at least talk to a woman for ten minutes.]
Some anti-fans even began a “reporting campaign,” visiting temples and filing extra reports for good measure. They called the first reporter a patriot, martyr, hero, champion, anything grand enough to justify burying Do-Jin with their whole soul.
└ I swear... I’m losing faith in humanity. Why are they going this far just to ruin one guy’s life?
└ I can’t even open Do-Jin’s channel lately. I get teary just thinking about it. He hasn’t said a word, and I keep imagining how scared and stressed he must be.
└ I know what you mean. I want him to say something, but I’m also terrified he’ll confirm things are bad. I’m all over the place emotionally.
Many fans genuinely worried for him. But the toxic crowd went after them, too.
└ LMAO do these people think he pays their rent or something? Get your own lives together, crybabies.
└ These are the fat, rejected men and women who latch onto streamers for emotional support.
└ Did they dump all their stat points into empathy or something? How are they not enjoying this? This drama is peak entertainment, you clowns.
The trolls replied to worried posts in real time just to mock them, then took some screenshots back to their home communities to roast the fans a second time.
└ The board’s so fun these days. Why are they losing their minds over something that’s not even their business?
└ Just leave them. If they wanna waste their own lives, let them.
└ HAHAHA, but isn’t it entertaining to watch? I honestly wanna see which side wins.
└ Why is it even turning into a win-or-lose thing? Isn’t the person who should be dealing with the report Do-Jin himself, the MeTuber?
└ It’s basically fans versus antis now hahaha. We’re just munching on popcorn, but they probably feel like their whole lives are riding on this. That’s fan behavior for you.
The neutral crowd, who didn’t care which way the drama ended, enjoyed the spectacle with popcorn in hand. This mixture of excitement and misery lasted as long as Do-Jin stayed silent. Then, something exploded online that hinted the situation was about to turn.
[Title: What the fuck is this. I tried to join the late-game dogpile and I think I’m fucked.]
[I swear to God, you psychos! You said the priestesses smile at you when you go report him! I went to a Creation Temple to report that bastard Do-Jin and they beat the shit out of me and threw me out!]
A user posted that he went to a Church of Creation temple to file a report, just like a voter casting a ballot, and got dragged across the floor and kicked out. The antis immediately brushed it off as nonsense.
└ Nobody’s buying it. I’m filing another report today.
└ These losers are spreading bullshit rumors now hahaha.
└ That’s how desperate they are, huh?
└ You can’t stop anything, auntie. This is the flow of the era. The flow of the era.
They assumed it was nothing more than fake news meant to slow their reporting spree. They felt proud of themselves, convinced they’d become a serious threat.
└ Since it’s like this, how about we go full report-rush today? Let’s finish him off.
└ Why don’t we call and ask how all the reports so far are being processed?
└ Screw it. I’m going live today and reporting him on stream. Anyone who isn’t scared of showing their face, gather up and go with me.
Some of the attention-hungry types even volunteered to start a live “reporting stream.” But none of them knew that the person who posted about getting dragged out of the temple wasn’t a troll, wasn’t a fake fan, and wasn’t neutral. He was someone who genuinely hated Do-Jin down to the bone.
—I’m here to report a man who’s been colluding with the vampires, enemies of humanity!
As promised, the streamer turned the broadcast on, gathered a whole group of antis, and shouted loudly in front of the temple. The temple knight guarding the entrance shot them an icy glare. They should’ve noticed right then, but this crowd consisted of some of the least perceptive humans alive.
—His name is Do-Jin! He’s the cancer of humanity, scheming vile acts with that vampire girl even now!
—We also know many of our comrades have been submitting reports, so could you tell us how the investigatio—
Right as the chat was egged on by the streamers, spewing hateful comments against Do-Jin, the knight slammed a sheathed sword straight into one of their faces with a loud crack.
“Anti A” collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his nose as he held his face, unable to understand what just happened.
—H-Hey, what the hell? Why’d you hit him out of nowhere?
The rest of the group panicked and tried to protest. But the temple knight didn’t listen.
—So it’s you bastards. You’re the ones who’ve been spreading ridiculous lies and stirring up public anxiety!
He looked genuinely furious. Other temple staff ran out at the commotion and, upon seeing the situation, their expressions hardened as well.
—Them again?
—Yes. Headquarters warned us about them. They’re the ones spreading vampire-related rumors to incite fear.
—Brothers, this won’t do. No matter how unhappy you are with life, this behavior is unacceptable.
The knights approached while cracking their necks and knuckles, one by one.
—H-Hey, wait a sec, this is going too far. Someone’s gonna get hurt—kuhk!
Their group far outnumbered the knights, but the level difference was a wall they couldn’t cross. The temple knights, comparable to overpowered in-game guards, easily overwhelmed the lower-level antis. They beat them like livestock in a slaughterhouse, using only sheaths and fists, then tied them up and checked their identities.
—Name.
—At... at least tell me why you’re—kehk!
Any attempt at bullshit was met with another smack. After a round of violent questioning, every one of them was forced to give their name and Adventurers’ Guild registration number.
—Listen well. Even if you come from another world, spreading false information to create widespread fear is a serious offense. From now on, all of you are banned from entering the temple, and you’ll receive no assistance from the Celestial See whatsoever.
Since the Celestial See and the Adventurers’ Guild worked closely together, blessed potions could only be obtained through the Celestial See. These potions, which were effective, reliable, and had few side effects, were bought through guild shops, but the original supplier was always the Celestial See.
In other words, everyone who reported Do-Jin was permanently blocked from acquiring anything linked to the Celestial See. Even if they lost limbs or suffered near-fatal injuries, they’d get no help from high-ranking temple priests.
—This is bullshit! How are we supposed to play the game now?
Anti A, who led the reporting stream, screamed through his smashed nose, crying as he shouted. But no one listened to or pitied him. The Celestial See was utterly firm.
—Silence. If you weren’t Outworlders, you’d be tortured and burned at the stake for this level of crime.
└ These idiots hahaha they went to screw someone else over, and now they’re shocked crying “How do we play the game!” hahaha
└ Classic behavior. They laugh at other people suffering, but throw a tantrum the moment they get hit.
The public turned cold. All the cruelty these antis directed at others made it impossible for anyone to feel even a shred of sympathy for them now.
└ Serves them right lol.
Just like someone said, they got exactly what they deserved.
└ But why did the Celestial See suddenly change its attitude?
└ Who knows. Maybe they got pissed after seeing the same stupid reports over and over?
└ Could be they just wanted to shut the whole thing down because investigating it was a pain.
└ True. Vampires are a sensitive subject in Lostania.
Some people suggested Do-Jin might’ve done something behind the scenes, but that idea didn’t catch on. Most agreed that no player had the level or influence to affect the Celestial See yet, not even Do-Jin. But the very next day, that theory was proved completely wrong.
A single photo appeared on Do-Jin’s channel, with the caption, “Had a meaningful time with the Saintess.”
└ Who’s that woman?
└ Read the damn title, idiot. Even if you ignore the post, at least read the title.
└ Yeah, but who is she?
└ The Saintess! The Saintess, you moron! It literally says it in the title.
└ Oh, she’s the Saintess. LOL got it.
└ The guy who replied up there probably got carried to the ER due to high blood pressure.
└ But seriously, what do you even have to do to take a picture standing next to the Saintess like that?
└ Isn’t that from the new video?
└ He must’ve bribed the Celestial See or made some kind of deal.
└ Even then, beating up the reporters and banning them from temple access seems a bit extreme for just a donation, doesn’t it?
The photo of Do-Jin standing shoulder to shoulder with the Saintess, both smiling brightly, shocked people everywhere.
└ Holy shit, that’s creepy. No matter how you slice it, this basically confirms that Do-Jin is deeply connected with the Celestial See.
└ Maybe he’s doing another hidden quest related to them?
└ That’s plausible. Or maybe he went to the Floating Continent because of a quest from the Celestial See in the first place...
└ If that’s the case, the Celestial See’s reaction to those vampire-related reports actually makes sense hahaha.
Rather than posting any further explanation, Do-Jin let the people speculate from every angle, pick whichever theory sounded believable, and build their own conclusions from it.
