[A title given to adventurers who kill a noble of the night, a vampire . The title will grow when hunting high-class vampires .

Roton Seynod was a pile of ashes, but he left many things for Hyeonu, Kim Seokjung, and Gang Junggu—experience, a title, and items .
“Level 198 . . . ” Kim Seokjung looked thrilled . He had already leveled up . Usually, it would take him five days to level up even if he hunted for 12 hours a day . Leveling up in the absence of the main scenario quests was very tedious and slow . It took Kim Seokjung a week to level from 196 to 197 . Yet he hunted for one day in the dungeon and reached level 198 . It was a miraculous speed .
“Brother, did you get a title?”
Gang Junggu nodded at Hyeonu’s question before he turned to face Hyeonu . “Viscount Killer?”
Hyeonu nodded before picking up an item from the spot where Roton’s ashes had disappeared . Four items were dropped . As expected, there were great rewards for defeating the boss of a multi-floor dungeon .
“Four items?”
“Yes, there are four items . ”
Hyeonu was ecstatic to see the fallen items . This was completely different from when he hunted alone .
‘I need to do party hunting . . . ’ Hyeonu even had this idea . The drop rate was different compared to hunting alone .
Four items . . .
Hyeonu would’ve been grateful even with just one . In fact, Hyeonu’s drop rate wasn’t so bad . Among the items he was wearing, there were many items that had never been seen before .
“I will confirm the items first . ” Hyeonu smiled brightly as he picked up the items .

“Wow . . . ” Hyeonu couldn’t close his mouth after checking the information on the four items . They were items he had never seen before while playing Arena . Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu didn’t know the information on the four items, so they were looking at Hyeonu with curious expressions .
“What is it?”
“Little brother? Is something wrong?”
“Yes, there’s a problem . It’s a pretty big one . ”
Hyeonu’s words caused the expressions of the two men to stiffen . There was a common thought in their minds .
‘The items aren’t good!’
This happened because Hyeonu was wearing a mask . Gang Junggu started to comfort Hyeonu, “Hyeonu, there are always days like this . It can’t be consistent . ”
“Yes . Today is just a bit different . ”
“It will be better in the future . Don’t be too upset . ”
“Huh? What are you saying? The problem is that the items are too good . . . ”
Hyeonu watched Gang Junggu with strange eyes . Why was he hearing Gang Junggu comforting him? Was this person crazy? Hyeonu’s eyes seemed to imply this .
“Look here . ” Hyeonu shared the information on the items .
The eyes of the two men doubled in size when they saw the items’ information . However, that only lasted for a short moment . The two of them soon showed unenthusiastic expressions .
Then Hyeonu became the perplexed one . “What’s wrong? Your rotten expressions . . . ”
“This isn’t useful for us . Little brother, you take them . ”
“Hyeonu, you have done a lot of the work . Take all of them . We came all the way here thanks to you, and you took care of the hard work . ”
The two of them patted Hyeonu’s shoulder . Hyeonu was grateful to the two of them, but his conscience didn’t allow him to take all four items .
“Then I’ll just take two . ” Hyeonu handed the gloves and books to Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu respectively . “Think of it as a gift from your little brother and accept it . ”
“A gift? Huhuhu!” Kim Seokjung laughed at Hyeonu’s words . He seemed to be in a really good mood . “Little brother, we should go out now . I hope you can give me an answer the next time we see each other . ”
Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu left Hyeonu alone with these words .
Hyeonu continued to scour the Hejin Mountains after his dungeon attack with Kim Seokjung . Now he was able to explore areas deeper in the mountains . Then Hyeonu received a note .
[To . Alley Leader:
We need to determine the cast of the first episode of Alley Leader Academy .
Please call me as soon as you see this note . ]
The note came from Kale .
“Has the cast been decided? I’ll have to get in touch . ”
Hyeonu immediately stopped exploring the Hejin Mountains and disconnected from Arena . He exited the cube and called Kale straight away .
“Kale? It’s me . Has the cast been decided?”
-You got in touch quickly . I just sent the note . . . Well, it’s good . Mr . Gang is very interested .
“Of course . This is my content . Additionally, the performer isn’t first . Alley Leader is number one . ”
-Keuk . . . A total of eight people got in contact with us, and all of them are celebrities . Then I thought about how it is the first time and narrowed the candidates down to the three who will create the hottest topics .
“Three people? Who are they?” Hyeonu was surprised that all eight had applied . He had felt dubious as the streaming process progressed . They all claimed to be celebrities, but he hadn’t believed it .
‘I thought it was a prank . . . ’
-Dwayne Evans, Hollywood’s best action star at the moment . The British diva, Christina . The last one is Korean . Ryu—he is also a Hollywood actor .
Hyeonu was surprised when he heard the list . This wasn’t the level of celebrity he had expected . He thought that they would be celebrities with enough fame to barely be called celebrities or famous streamers .
‘For example, streamers famous for not playing games . . . ’
Then he thought about it again and felt something was strange . Dwayne Evans was a hugely popular action star . Wasn’t he famous for shooting movies without a stuntman? “How did Dwayne Evans meet the conditions? Does this mean his arena rating isn’t a bronze medal?”
-Surprisingly, it is true . Unlike reality, his combat ability in virtual reality is close to extremely bad . In fact, his ranking is very low .
“So how did he level up?”
-He says that hunting and PvP are different . I think he must’ve ridden a bus .
“I see . . . I have one more question . Kale, who would you recommend?”
-I recommend Dwayne Evans .
“Why?”
-He is the most famous of the eight . Additionally, he is known for his excellent sense of humor .
“Then I’ll go with Dwayne Evans . I have already decided to pick a celebrity, and he is the best in the world . ”
-I will let him know . Then we will meet at the arena tomorrow at 5 o’clock, Seoul time .
“Sure, Kale . ”
Hyeonu hung up before turning on his laptop and searching for ‘Dwayne Evans . ’
‘I need to know him if I’m going to meet and talk to him . ’
In fact, Hyeonu didn’t know much about Dwayne Evans . He was a famous actor . His action scenes were good . He was handsome and very rich . That was all . Hyeonu didn’t know anything else .
“What? It’s all about me?”
[Dwayne Evans’ recent interest is Alley Leader . “His style is phenomenal . ”]
[Dwayne Evans, a fan of Alley Leader . ]
[Dwayne Evans revealed his intention to meet Alley Leader . ]
Hyeonu saw the title of the articles and was stunned .
‘Hollywood’s top action star wants to see me?’
“No, this is impossible . ”
Hyeonu shook his head . He quickly moved to an Arena community . However, Hyeonu immediately shut down the Arena community . He didn’t know why such interesting articles weren’t interesting today .
“No, I have to sleep quickly today . ”
Hyeonu’s expression was as excited as a primary school student on the eve of a picnic day .
Hyeonu sat at the table and looked particularly haggard . He looked so strange that Yeongchan was worried .
“Hey, are you okay? Are you sick?”
“No, no . I’m fine . I couldn’t sleep . ”
Last night, Hyeonu couldn’t sleep because he kept thinking about meeting Dwayne Evans .
“Then go ahead and sleep a bit more . There is still a long time until your stream . ”
“What about you? Are you okay?”
This time, it was Hyeonu who asked . Was Yeongchan okay? Hyeonu felt apologetic for his atrocious actions from not so long ago .
“I’m not fine . Because of you . . . ” Yeongchan’s fists were shaking .
He remembered that day and ignored the normal-sized cup, drinking an entire bottle of water instead .
“Didn’t you really like it at the time? Hey, I’m just trying to make you happy . I gave you the MC’s position . ” Hyeonu’s face became rosy as he spoke .
“Yes, but you only told me at that time . . . ”
“Hey, I’m disappointed . You are the one who sneaked home and went on a blind date,” Hyeonu interrupted Yeongchan’s words .
Then he started to attack Yeongchan in reverse . Hyeonu talked for a long time before glancing at his watch and standing up from the table . “Hey, I have to go stream . Let’s do this next time, friend . ”
Yeongchan was left alone and wanted to cry .
Hyeonu connected to Arena and immediately entered the arena . Then he created a friendly game room .
“The name of the room is Alley Leader, and the password is ‘a good man . ’ Okay, that’s it . ”
Hyeonu created the room and sent a note to Kale that included the name and password of the room . A short time later, two people appeared in the arena . One was a familiar male . It was Kale .
“Hello, Alley Leader . ”
Then there was the other person . He was 190 centimeters tall, full of muscles, and the owner of a manly face . Based on his form alone, he should be able to compete for the top position in the arena rankings .
“Hello, Dwayne Evans . ”
It was the appearance of Alley Leader’s first student .
