There were various reasons why I decided to leave the party.

Sure, a big part of it was wanting to pull a prank, but that wasn't the whole story.

First off, there was Han Se-ah's stream.

Most of the other streamers I've seen fill their streams with highs and lows.

But Han Se-ah?

She's been climbing the tower without a single defeat.

Now, where's the fun in a game where you use a cheat and win every time?

Even in traditional Korean games, infinite money and invincibility cheats quickly lose their charm.

Playing a game like that isn't fun, and watching someone else do it is even more so.

"Don't worry. Even with Roland gone, we still have a 5 protective shield and two 4 party members. We can hold off the attacks while Kaiden deals with the rest. That's why Roland suggested we make camp on the 19th floor."

-It's crashing! It's crashing!

-First they take our money and now they take our stars?

-Should focus on Roland's favorability first, not Irene's.

-If the 6 is already jumping ship, why wouldn't the 5?

The second reason is a little more self-serving.

I came across a rant online last night.

The author was frustrated with a 5 who was so demanding that it felt like they were playing office politics.

The viewers see me as a legendary 6 who's only here out of boredom.

A wandering, fun-seeking character.

If I revolve my life completely around Han Se-ah and practically give her everything, it would seem very strange.

'I can do this because of the internet.'

I can watch Han Se-ah's stream online.

Since I can access her stream through the internet, the chat access feature I got as a reward before is redundant.

It's like those game companies that sell a game without photo mode, only to add it later as paid DLC.

These really have no shame.

Suddenly, memories of the Heroines Chronicle from my past life flare up, and I can feel my blood start to boil.

But there are other reasons too, like advancing Kaiden's character arc and discovering which noble family she's from.

Still, the biggest reason is my desire to tease.

[Roland's loyal fan has just donated 10,000 Won!]

I knew it from the moment you started speaking casually to Roland.

"But, wasn't it Roland who said we could? Irene and Kaiden still speak formally, right? And, how about Grace?"

-What are you talking about after matching them together?

-Are you trying to compete with Grace?

-Seriously, do you even have a conscience?

-She's got both personality and a great body, it's a no-brainer.

The internet window lets me see donations and missions, unlike the chat access feature.

This makes the lengthy carriage ride more bearable.

Seeing her jumping around with each donation, I can see why viewers enjoy teasing her.

Han Se-ah, while being brutally attacked by the chat, is busily running around the market.

Kaiden steps in as a temporary teacher, helping with the camping assignment I gave.

She likely knows more about camping than even Grace, being a former mercenary.

While roasting Han Se-ah, they also get lessons from Kaiden through donations.

Though there do seem to be a few gamers who have experience camping.

Gamers come from all sorts of backgrounds.

"Kaiden, is this enough?"

"Ah, yes. We're not staying for more than a day, so it's enough."

I'm watching the world through Han Se-ah's camera drone.

The view is slightly above head height.

Sleeping bags, tents, ropes, tools, and provisions are all being gathered.

Thankfully, Han Se-ah's inventory allows them to carry a large tent without issue.

Otherwise, they'd be lugging around backpacks like soldiers.

"Tent, sleeping bag, rope, knife, lantern, flint... we don't need that. What else are we missing, guys?"

-Why do you need a lantern when you have light magic?

-Your viewers are like your notepad.

-If you don't bring bug spray, it will be hell.

-You said no to flint so why keep the lantern?

-Are there many bugs in the forest? I haven't seen any.

She keeps doing what she needs to, despite the viewers' endless complaints.

As much as I hate to, it's time to turn off the stream.

I've got my own work to do.

A few hours later, I'm still surfing the web in a comfortable carriage.

The magically-enhanced carriage ride brings me to the northern part of the kingdom.

This is a region of precipitous mountains, teeming with monsters, and perpetual snowfields in the north.

If I were to compare it to Heroines Chronicle, it reminds me of the daily dungeon for mining water-attribute magic stones.

Of course, I haven't memorized the background of all the dungeons, but I recall the monsters and the terrain being somewhat similar.

"Adventurer's badge, confirmed."

I find myself at an Adventurer's Guild in the north.

If the city's Adventurer's Guild trades in magic stones and materials gathered from the tower, this northern guild thrives on goods from explorations of the untamed lands up north.

It's wilder and considerably poorer.

Unlike the tower, where monsters endlessly respawn and transform into magic stones, the monsters in the northern mountains form part of the ecosystem.

"Senior adventurer Roland, is there a specific request you're interested in?"

In such a poor neighborhood, when a senior adventurer suddenly appears, all eyes gather.

The envious eyes of the burly old men are a given, as are the jealous gazes of those who haven't quite understood the situation.

They may not know who Roland is, being so far from the city of adventurers, but as members of the adventurers' guild, they'll certainly know what it means to be a senior adventurer.

After all, the badge of a senior adventurer is earned only after extreme hardship.

"I'm here in search of a certain material. It'd be great if I could take on related tasks as well."

"What material are you looking for?"

A striking woman with brown hair, a contrast to the icy northern winds, greets me with a warm smile.

Even in the north, the receptionists are beautiful.

I hand her a note detailing what I'm after.

The note lists a series of tedious tasks, like obtaining specific ores found only in the snowy mountains or crystals from ice giants.

The receptionist's face lights up as she reads the note these are not mere requests.

I'm not just skirting the edges of the mountain range I'm delving deep into the mountains.

Even if they only bring requests related to the materials on the note, it will be quite a lucrative venture.

For the guild, which profits from commissions, it's like stumbling upon a jackpot.

"Could you let me know where you're staying? I can organize the requests and have them delivered."

"I haven't arranged accommodation yet. Can you recommend somewhere?"

"In that case, I suggest the Goat Valley Inn. The food may be a bit simple, but the rooms are kept clean. Even a senior adventurer like yourself should find it comfortable. Upon exiting the guild, walk left, and you'll find a building marked with a large goat horn sign."

Retrieving my note from the smiling receptionist, I step out of the guild.

I don't intend to do this alone, I also plan to hire a few intermediate-level adventurers.

Considering the roles from scout to porter, Han Se-ah's inventory comes to mind.

I wish I too could have an inventory in addition to the chat feature and the forum.

As I wander about, I find myself coveting Han Se-Ah's inventory more and more.

I hope one day I receive something similar as a reward.

I search for the large goat horn sign as I walk around.

"I've got some foxes here."

"Their hides are all damaged. You didn't use beast-hunting arrows, did you?"

"Hey, do you really think I'd make such an amateur mistake?"

A merchant, hauling a cart, is hawking dried fruits from a barrel, garnering attention from passersby, while a hunter negotiates a price for the beast hides he brought back from the mountains.

There's a butcher's shop selling smoked ham and sausages, a massive deer leg hanging outside, and a large oven emitting a mouthwatering aroma.

I enter an inn marked with an intricately carved goat horn.

The guild's description of its cleanliness wasn't exaggerated the hall is immaculately maintained, though its tables are empty.

"Welcome! Are you here for a meal or to stay?"

" Just a stay, in the best room."

I'm mildly surprised that the young waiter, who hurried over to greet me, doesn't boast about their food.

Maybe due to some bad experiences in doing so.

It seems the rumors about substandard food quality weren't unfounded.

What do we think of the pacing? I enjoy slow ones but I do wish this novel was a taaaaaaad faster. Preference of course.

2/5 Enjoy the chappy!
