[Kashin Cult]
-Member count: 280,735
Kashin Cult.
A fan cafe dedicated to Kaiser, the godlike player.
It was the oldest and largest official Kaiser fan cafe in existence.
In an instant, its membership skyrocketed, reaching nearly 300,000.
-Isn’t Kaiser just so cool? I recently became totally obsessed with him.
-You’ve officially fallen for him, huh? Well, after watching that video, who wouldn’t?
-The cafe’s membership has been exploding over the past few days.
-I’m glad Kaiser’s getting famous, but as a fan, I can’t help but feel a little bittersweet about it.
This surge in popularity was thanks to the recent upload of Kaiser’s videos on NewTube.
His reserved and chic personality, godlike control that bordered on art,
His unwavering beliefs, even when facing entire guilds and enemies.
His mysterious charm, heightened by the mask that hid his face.
All of these traits struck a chord with fans’ romanticized ideals.
Yet, despite the hype, the fans found themselves terribly bored.
-Aren’t they going to upload more videos? T_T
-I’m a newbie Kashin Cult member, but isn’t there any material I can obsess over? I want to fangirl, but there’s nothing to work with…
-Seriously, with so many members, why is there no content?
-Sigh… I’ve already watched that NewTube video 30 times…
-I want to fangirl, but why won’t they let me? Please, give us something to obsess over—anything!
-At least give us some anecdotes or something. Why is it so quiet? T_T
The fans’ expectations were through the roof, but there was no material to satiate their fandom.
Old videos?
They were either ancient, low-quality clips everyone had already seen or the single new video on NewTube.
Photos?
The best they had was a distant shot from his DemRock days.
It was a pitiful scene of nearly 300,000 fans scrambling in vain for scraps.
There wasn’t much they could do.
-Haha, everyone still has much to learn. Empty your minds and rewatch the videos. Enlightenment awaits.
-I’ve already watched it over 30 times.
-Then watch it 30 more times, my fellow disciple.
-Fellow devotees, isn’t the recent hate going too far?
-Ugh, I know, right? What’s with all the negativity?
All they could do was rewatch the video or complain amongst themselves.
Even when they tried to defend Kaiser against excessive hate comments, it had little effect.
-Honestly, Kaiser fans are a bit much, aren’t they?
-To be fair, the only thing he’s proven is that he ranked first in Raven. That’s impressive, sure, but calling him a god or greater than top 10 guilds? It’s a bit much.
-I agree. I watched his NewTube too. He’s good, but the way fans talk about him rubs me the wrong way.
-Yeah, he’s undoubtedly great. Even if it was a dying game, he was still a legend. But saying he’s on par with the top 10 guilds? That’s pushing it. God of Savior and DemRock are on different levels.
Critics, bolstered by these points, continued to mock him, and more people seemed to side with them.
Even if Kaiser’s fans tried to argue, they were dismissed as fanatics or “Kafis.”
This led them to keep their heads down.
Although the membership count had grown, their collective influence was lacking, and public opinion was already against them.
-Well, at least he started a NewTube channel. Let’s be patient.
-True. Membership keeps increasing, so if we wait, more content will come eventually.
-I really hope he uploads soon. What’s the next video going to be about?
-Who knows… I heard he recently met the High Priest. Maybe it’ll be related to that?
-No way, he wouldn’t upload something that exclusive.
-If he met the High Priest, he must’ve gotten something big, but it’ll probably take a while before the video goes up.
Given the circumstances, Kaiser’s fans could only wait quietly.
The bigger the scoop, the longer it usually took to upload a video.
As they lamented their situation, something unexpected happened.
[It’s up! Holy sh*t, it’s up!]
└?? What’s up?
└My adult video!!
└???
The provocative message didn’t matter.
What mattered was that a video, which they thought would take at least a week, had already been uploaded.
Fans immediately stopped whatever they were doing and opened NewTube.
-Huh?
-Wow, it’s really there?
-Didn’t they say he met the High Priest? How is it up already?
-No way… Is he streaming the process live?
To cut to the chase, their expectations were completely off.
No matter how bold Kaiser was, even he wouldn’t do something that reckless.
[Salt-Rock Forest, PKer Cleanup Video]
-Kaiser TV
Subscribers: 1.47 million
-Ah, looks like a casual upload.
-PK? That’s a pretty common theme…
Since PK (Player Kill) incidents were among the most common occurrences in God of Savior, videos featuring PK showdowns were a dime a dozen on NewTube.
Such videos usually followed the same formula—beginning, middle, and end all felt like copy-paste scenarios.
It was so predictable that jokes about mass-produced PK videos were commonplace.
Unless there was something special or a unique guest, such content wouldn’t typically draw much attention.
-But who cares about that now? Just the fact that he uploaded something is a blessing.
-Finally, something to fangirl over.
-I’m watching it right now.
For the members of Kashin Cult, starved for content, none of that mattered.
What mattered was that Kaiser had uploaded a video.
And it wasn’t just the Kashin Cult members who thought so.
-Wow, I got a notification and thought, “No way,” but he really uploaded another video? He uploaded one just yesterday!
-PKer cleanup? What’s this about?
– Wasn’t that a golden-colored striking weapon just now? What class is that, exactly?
– No, what’s going on with the damage? Isn’t Kaiser around level 20? How did he pull off such ridiculous damage?
The one-sided slaughter was unfolding so smoothly that it almost felt like a natural fit for the term “cleaning up PK offenders.”
Later on, PK offenders themselves were running away, and Kaiser was chasing them down.
The orc, which always appeared alongside him, and the fact that he used skills from various classes, made this video more than enough to generate buzz.
No, leaving everything else aside, the control and damage just don’t make sense.
– This… if the people who’ve been preparing to take down Kaiser see this, they’re going to be in shock, right?
– You can become a star by killing Kaiser? You have to become a star;; I need to take him down.
– ??? : Ah, the moneybags are coming~!
– The golden goblins weren’t Kaisers, but PK offenders, lol.
– Ah… I’m truly blessed with eye candy today.
– Yeah, this is the one. This is why I can’t stop fangirling. T_T
For the fans, it was like a sweet reward, like honey, while for those hoping to strike it rich, it was a video that would make their cold sweat run.
But this wasn’t the end.
– Huh? What’s this? There’s another video?
– He’s uploading two?
As they finished watching the video, a new one was uploaded, as if they had been waiting for it.
And the moment they checked the new video…
– Wow!
– This is crazy. This is really crazy!
– A solo with the Death Orc Warrior? How is this even possible!?
Wow… wow… wow, really, wow…
An explosive reaction far surpassing the previous video erupted.
* * *
[Kaiser captures the Death Orc Warrior single-handedly!]
[From Hidden Field Boss to Elite Field Boss, solo try?]
[Where exactly are his limits? The ultimate battle machine…]
– That was the first time a boss looked pitiful.
└For real, LOL, it’s the first time I’ve seen an Orc Warrior, triggered by combat instincts, retreating.
└Why would combat instincts be surprising? What’s so special about that?
└It’s a characteristic that leaves only combat instincts intact. It doubles the reaction speed, and he only used that speed to run away, lol.
– Kaiser is a legend… my chest swells with pride.
– Who’s the one whining saying it’s too much? Is this really too much? Is this really too extreme for a KQ?
└Once the video was uploaded, those comments disappeared, lol.
└Ah, really, that feels good. People only praise him because he’s worth it. They nitpicked and complained so much, tsk tsk.
└Oi oi, I believed in him!
And the news didn’t stop at NewTube.
It spread to search engines and websites, with articles and comments flooding in.
There, public opinion quickly flipped, claiming the praise for Kaiser was excessive.
It was only natural.
– What? DemRock and God of Savior are on different levels? So who else besides the ones who soloed the Death Orc Warrior? At most, it’s the 10th-tier guilds. Even then, are the levels different?
└For real, you see that all the top rankers in DemRock are high rankers? Don’t you get it? It’s so frustrating, almost died from it.
└Ah, for real, just LOL.
└LOL
Soloing the Death Orc Warrior was not a common occurrence, even in God of Savior, with over a billion players.
Only guild masters from 10th-tier guilds and a few high-rankers had achieved such a feat.
Kaiser made it look so easy, proving his skills without a doubt.
Moreover, the legendary 100 to 1 battle he showed in the previous video added even more weight to his achievements.
– From now on, if you’re going to criticize Kaiser, start with 100 to 1.
– Nonstop relay battles, LOL, that’s legendary.
– Just the loot he picked up alone is insane.
– But wait, that wasn’t just his baggage carrier, it was a necromancer? Wow, the man commanding nobles… He truly is a god.
And the news spread not only to players enjoying the game but also to countless guilds.
“Soloing the Death Orc Warrior? No way, is this for real?”
“No matter how I think about it, I missed out on something huge…”
“Let’s try contacting him secretly.”
“We can’t even take this, nor break it… this is a real headache.”
Both small and medium-sized guilds, as well as large guilds, focused all attention on this video, and the view count soared uncontrollably.
The 10th-tier guilds, known as the core and owners of God of Savior, were no exception.
“Hoho.”
One of the most famous players in God of Savior. The currently most popular player in existence.
This was when the news reached Myeolsal.
