Chapter 134: Harbinger of Great Upheaval
☉ Breaking News) Next raid teaser dropped!
What signaled the beginning was a single post.
A post with a title is nothing surprising in the community.
Games generally produced and uploaded videos befitting special updates, and spreading them first was a common occurrence.
Just when announcing Superstar N (meaning New Clear~), didn’t they make a decent teaser trailer?
However, the reason that post was special was because it was both real and fake at the same time.
Moreover, even while receiving numerous recommendations and rising to trending posts, to the degree community users continuously debated the authenticity of the post’s content.
✪ Breaking News) Next raid teaser dropped!
(Video containing a scene of ‘Lord of Storms’ smashing down and destroying a Reverse Otherworld)
Wow ㅅㅂ So awesomeㅋㅋㅋㅋ
If you’re looking forward to the next raid, upvoteㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Starting with meㅋㅋㅋ
-Amazing
-What’s with smashing the Reverse Otherworldㄷㄷ
-You bastard, asking for upvotes now
-Is this ㄹㅇ real??
ㄴSeems like a lie ㅇㅇ Not uploaded on official iTube
ㄴGot my hopes up seeing the video quality but got trolledㅡㅡ
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋCrazy ㅅㄲ look at this bait
-The guys above clearly didn’t watch Hack Tourㅋㅋ
ㄴ? What’s Hack Tour got to do with this?
ㄴAh, you see
ㄴWhy stop talking ㄱㅅㄲ
ㄴWas writing but won’t tell you since you cursed
ㄴㅈㅅㅈㅅ; Please tell
ㄴAh, you see
ㄴBeen waiting ten minutes now
ㄴAh damn, got trolled again you ㄱㅅㄲ!
-This is a part that appeared in Hack Tour ㅇㅇ That giant really did that and disappeared, and iTuber Chloe speculated it’s the next raid boss
ㄴNope, not falling for it this time~ Lies welcome~
ㄴBut it’s real;;
The video attached to the post was barely a few seconds.
But just because the amount was short didn’t mean it lacked impact.
The content of a giant the size of a mountain with a body made of storm smashing down and crushing a Reverse Otherworld in one blow was clearly a ‘Reverse Planet’ next raid boss teaser to anyone who saw it.
Moreover, such recognition became even more firm as the first post, which was just simple trolling, passed and gradually more detailed inside stories were revealed.
✪ Summary of Why Otherworld Lords Are the Next Raid Boss
3-line summary at the very bottom
It’s Clayphysical from the ten million iTuber, and actually confirmed too
Since current raid bosses are nobles, the next stage raid boss has no choice but to be lords higher than them ㅇㅇ
Or they could insert something in between stages, but considering what Planet Earth has done so far, there’s a higher probability there are multiple Otherworld Lords
Those who’ve done it will know, but it’s just the difference between being in the story or revealed as additional story, the buildup method is practically the same
Probably if Otherworld Lords appear through Hackphysical’s story, we’ll also be able to see it as additional story?
This is also one of the important evidence······
Three-line summary
-Is this three-line summary right
-Scrolled down because it was long and the summary is a messㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴAh anyway it’s right~
ㄴIf you’re annoyed then read itㅋㅋ
-Well summarized ㅇㅇ
-Because of the ㅅㄲ who trolled first, lots of people won’t believe this eitherㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋ
-Ugh Hackphysical fanboys starting again, what boss raid revealed in personal story blah blah phew
ㄴDid you even read the main text?
ㄴWhy the ㅅㅂ should I read a boring post
ㄴSo you commented like that without even reading?
ㄴHackphysical fanboys’ logic level ㅉㅉ Telling me to read or not ㅈㄹ as you please
ㄴIs this person crazy;
ㄴThis guy seems like the one who got his head smashed before for mindlessly cursing about hackers
ㄴHackphysical haters’ level is still the same
-Whatever it is, hurry up and release the next raid!!
-Teacher··· I want to do Otherworld Lord raid···
Even if they weren’t interested in story, they had no choice but to care about raids, the PVE end content.
It was quite natural for the community to be enthusiastic about Otherworld Lord raids—the atmosphere had long been that it was practically confirmed.
Considerable time had already passed since Otherworld Noble raids were released, and among those who liked PVE, signs of wanting the next content were beginning to circulate.
People were now busy laying out speculation about not whether Otherworld Lord raids were the next content or not, but what form they would take.
[General] [Hack Tour] Brain Speculation) Otherworld Lord Raid Speculation

Warning! This post contains brain speculation about Otherworld Lord raids
Overflowing with Hack Tour story-related spoilers
(Investigation results about TL series doping drugs)
This is the doping drug that was the beginning of Otherworld Lord raid bait
Until this point, since we didn’t know what TL meant, people just thought some new element appeared
That perception changed after the Tempest-L Specimen was revealed while progressing the story this time
(Cha Seongcheol, Jeong Nayeon, and Chloe Martinez talking about the Tempest-L Specimen)
Here Chloe said Tempest-L was······
(Size comparison of Otherworld Lord, Tempest Lord)
Otherworld Lords are much larger than Otherworld Nobles
The difference is so great it’s laughable to compare with Otherworld Nobles who are at most a few meters tall
So it’s thought that at minimum double the personnel of Otherworld Noble raids would be needed to compete
In other words, it could be a 16-person raid, or perhaps even larger scale
If this speculation is correct, it would be a large-scale PVE content update after a long time
(Powerful strike crushing the Reverse Otherworld.gif)
Lastly, looking at the Hack Tour video, the Reverse Otherworld completely shatters from the Otherworld Lord’s striking attack, which I think might be one of the raid mechanics
Like preventing it from striking down through some means, or the feeling of blocking the strike
As always, if you object, you’re right

─I recommend this. Especially the content that the next raid boss will be Tempest Lord weakened from dividing up specimens matches exactly with my speculation
└I also slapped my knee here
└[Author] With a ‘weakened’ title, it’s perfect for difficulty adjustment and as a taster ㅎㅎ
─Certainly the gif feels like a preview of a wipe mechanic
└Didn’t Hackphysical not die to that?
└That’s true, but if it’s not for introducing mechanics, there’s no reason to go as far as smashing the Reverse Otherworld ㅎ;
└Ah, that’s certainly true
─Security Captain breakthrough complete
└Wow, you finally broke through that? How exactly?
└Forest breakthrough attempt 1st try
└Lonely challengerㄷㄷ
─Hmm··· Is that level···
Community users excitedly bit into and tore apart the large-scale PVE update bait that appeared after a long time.
Speculation posts continuously poured out about how many people the raid would be, what mechanics there would be, and if they contained plausible content, they rose to trending posts.
It meant expectations for Otherworld Lord raids were that great. Along with that, the status of ‘Hack Tour’ content naturally rose as well.
[General] [Hack Tour] Abrasax <- What exactly is this?

(Video of Baek Woohyun and Otherworld God Abrasax having a conversation)
At first I just thought they made a doppelganger
But suddenly became Otherworld God Abrasax ㄷㄷ
The conversation content also seems meaningful, and seeing how an Otherworld Lord even appeared to save him, there’s definitely something
For now I think it’s bait for after Otherworld Lord raids
What do you all think?

Among those interested in story, there were quite a few who focused on Otherworld God Abrasax.
After all, an Otherworld God, much higher than Otherworld Lords that hadn’t even appeared in raids yet, suddenly popped out.
However, as mentioned earlier, since Otherworld Lord raids also hadn’t appeared yet, the majority opinion was to watch and see more.

Stop finding out···
-They kept saying believability believability and it really was believable
-Should’ve noticed when the suit fit wellㅉㅉ
-Jeong Nayeon saying she’s just friends with a man like this
ㄴ(Detective emoticon holding up magnifying glass)
ㄴShut your mouth
ㄴGasp! Yes!
-The reactions when this first appeared were ㅈㄴ funnyㅋㅋ
ㄴ”Huh, Woohyun?” “Why is Hackphysical—”ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴThen flustered and rambling ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Handsome yet good physique too. That’s unbalanced
Naturally, talk also arose about Baek Woohyun’s somewhat sudden appearance reveal through Otherworld God Abrasax (or the doppelganger).
Actually, there were more posts about appearance than expected. Mostly posts containing evaluations wondering why someone who looks like that uses privacy protection mode.
If someone asked Baek Woohyun about it, he probably would have answered ‘Just left it as initially set.’

[General] Hackphysical VS Mr. Cheater
[Info] Is Hackphysical really a hot topic even on Reddit?
[Info] Understanding Melee Build and Ranged Build Compatibility Through Hackphysical
[General] Hack Tour is hot indeed ㄷㄷ
Other things like ten million iTuber Chloe Martinez briefly participating as a ‘Hack Tour’ panel member with a request close to begging, or being called Mr. Cheater on Reddit also became minor topics.
Though relatively less so because Otherworld Lord raids sucked up a lot of attention, anyway it was talk community users would like.
“……”
However, as always, community public opinion had no influence whatsoever on Baek Woohyun.
In the first place, he didn’t even look up content talking about himself, and his mentality was too solid to be hung up on such things.
Moreover, this time he was also immersed in thoughts that he absolutely must make contact with Anonymous Viewer 62 above all else.
‘Anonymous Viewer 62’ donated ‘1,000,000 won’!
[It seems we have much to discuss. I’ll visit you soon]
‘So they finally decided to move directly.’
Baek Woohyun, who had been staring at Anonymous Viewer 62’s message delivered through Jeong Nayeon, let out a long breath.
Because the thought ‘Finally!’ flashed through his mind at the fact that Anonymous Viewer 62, who had merely delivered special missions occasionally, had finally moved.
And along with that, he could also feel anew how important the situation was now that Otherworld Lords and Otherworld God Abrasax had appeared.
How else would Anonymous Viewer 62, who hadn’t revealed themselves until now, have contacted him saying they’d visit directly?
‘This increases the probability that the “Creator” Abrasax mentioned is Anonymous Viewer 62.’
If the conversation with Abrasax was merely part of the story, Anonymous Viewer 62 wouldn’t have broken their action principle until now.
So Baek Woohyun speculated the Creator mentioned in the conversation was Anonymous Viewer 62, and through this could interpret several parts.
For instance, cases like the incomprehensible words Abrasax suddenly spouted.
‘The disgusting Creator’s gaze probably means Anonymous Viewer 62 watching through me.’
Since they’d even offered a mission, Anonymous Viewer 62 must have been watching Baek Woohyun’s broadcast.
If he interpreted it as mocking that, it became clearly understandable.
“……”
……However, this interpretation inevitably had to be backed by a terrifying premise.
The premise that Abrasax, who was merely program code, could recognize the Creator, the developer, and see beyond them through a player.
Could that really be called just a program?
Beyond the world inside the game, when it recognized even reality!
‘I absolutely must find out what exactly Anonymous Viewer 62 is hiding.’
Only then could he get a bit closer to the secret hidden in ‘Reverse Planet.’
Baek Woohyun’s eyes flashed coldly.
