002. Rings and Legends of Heroes (2)
Read at noblemtl. com
Legend of Heroes. Lehi was a game where you had to form a 5v5 team and win on multiple maps.
The method was as simple as a really simple explanation, but the fact that it has been in the top 3 of the Korean online game popularity ranking for nearly 10 years is enough to explain its popularity.
“Hmm.”
And in such a game, the Thorn Song Jae-Ik chose was a troll character that boasted a pick rate that was always in the bottom 3 for over 10 years.
– It’s not muddy. hmm. What is Thorn? Did your hand slip?
Eom Kang-seok poured out nagging at Song Jae-ik for 10 minutes.
This game is a siege war where you destroy the turrets protecting the opponent’s base and destroy the main nexus of the base.
At least, Thorne, who exerts a meager influence in interpersonal warfare, was a hero that should never be chosen.
True to his nickname of Wind Ranger, Thorn was a hero who shoots an arrow, and was a hero mainly used in games such as occupation wars or annihilation wars, where the weight of interpersonal combat was greater than siege.
As these situations were added, the other side was laughing at the entire chat, so it was an unavoidable reality that the blue team’s momentum, to which Song Jae-ik belonged, was hitting the floor.
“Did Taker shoot well even in sieges?”
– Are you crazy? Are you rubbing with the taker? Besides, it’s Akara now. your counter. And Taker Siege shot. It’s not a pro match, it’s just a broadcast! just for fun!
“Ugh. okay. okay. The next edition will do the right thing.”
– It’s fortunate that it was Ilgam. If it was a competition, I threw the game a long time ago. Games explode, chats explode, and your mentality explodes as well. Let’s go to the fun mode!
Song Jae-ik, who did not respond to Um Kang-seok’s words, took a deep breath and exchanged basic attacks with the opposing hero to enter into endurance mode.
“uh?”
Even though I hadn’t eaten at all, I felt as if my stomach had been blocked. It felt like food was being digested.
Things I hadn’t seen before began to appear.
‘The opponent’s tier is at the silver level. low. Control is not good and not aggressive. I can eat enough.’
After releasing the tension in his hands pressing the keyboard, Song Jae-ik attacked the opponent hero with a basic attack, but gradually stepped back and seduced him.
‘An angle is visible.’
Confidence comes from the famous troll character Thorn. In addition, the bronze mark next to Song Jae-ik’s ID. Then Thorn kept stepping back.
All of this ignited the enthusiasm of the users playing Akara.
The hero mentality of being able to take control of the line and carry the game yourself.
As Song Jae-Ik stepped back little by little, Akara quickly closed the distance through his mobile device, and when Akara came into skill range in an instant, Song Jae-Ik used the skill he had waited for.
When the skill that slowed down the first enemy’s movement got stuck and the blood drained, the enemy tried to blink to the place where his tower was to escape.
“It’s all gone, the mobile device.”
As if Song Jae-ik had waited, he caught up with the opponent and hit the basic attack and skill buttons repeatedly.
‘Damage of the turret. The location of the minions.’
At the same time, I quickly grasped the battlefield in my head and moved my hand for the next move.
Although he was bleeding a lot, he was able to withstand one turret attack, and considering the position of the minions, the second attack would be received by the minions, not himself.
If so, you can get another attack timing.
“Thank you so much.”
With the attack of the turret, Thorn’s blood was shed in an instant, and at the same time, he stopped running away and used his skill in the hope that he would be able to kill the enemy if he did well.
With the idea that following him beyond the turret now was the perfect troll for choosing Thorn.
I had no idea that Song Jae-ik, who moves Thorn, had intended and followed every situation.
However, it is not Thorn who loses his stamina, but himself.
The other person was anxious and frantically pinged for help.
[Quantum (Thorn) has defeated Durian (Akara).]
“done.”
The thrill that started at the fingertips felt like riding through the whole body. The play that came to mind was played out exactly in his hand.
I don’t know if it’s the feeling that he realized Taker’s crazy play that he saw on You Tube a few minutes ago with his own hands, or whether this is a feeling that he really wants to play himself.
“Was it really…?”
– Crazy, what are you! It’s suddenly solkill. Did the opponent throw it into the turret?
Over Song Jae-ik’s headphones, Um Kang-seok’s surprise-mixed swear words were heard, revealing his surprised emotions.
However, Song Jae-ik quickly organized the complex thoughts in his head as if he couldn’t hear the words.
The feeling of being digested as if you had taken digestive medicine. After that feeling, I definitely saw things that I couldn’t see before.
Surroundings that I hadn’t thought of before. opponent’s move. Even mouse movements and skills.
It was definitely a level that could never be done with his existing skills.

[????????]
[What now? Did Thorn get a solo kill? Is that also for Akara?]
[I think he threw it into the turret.]
[It’s good enough. Anyway, it’s 3 to 1, but what?]
[It must be a turret dive. Anyway, good luck.]
Eom Kang-seok was dumbfounded by Song Jae-ik’s kill guide that appeared in the center of the screen. It was because it was not the skill of Song Jae-ik that he knew.
“no···. what no. what is this Is it luck?”
Right now, even the same team members have doubts about the Killog that popped up on the screen.
[Turret Dive?]
[I guess it’s just luck. for one kill. Even the opponent’s Aka is barely silver. Bronze or silver.]
[Anyway, that line was pushed. What has changed since I only got one kill?]
No matter how much Thorne is called a troll hero, it was a number that could come out enough to get about 1 kill while playing the game anyway, so I sometimes dismissed it as just luck.
– What’s luck? Did I mention I’m going gold soon?
Song Jae-ik said in a excited voice, and Eom Kang-seok just laughed no matter what the process was because it was true that Song Jae-ik succeeded in the first kill anyway.
how about luck The game you play with Song Jae-ik is a game you want to enjoy anyway. To get it right, I ran a competitive match by myself.
But that thought didn’t go far.
[Quantum (Thorn) has defeated Durian (Akara).]
“uh?”
again after a few minutes.
[Double kill!]
[Quantum (Thorn) has defeated Durian (Akara).]
[Quantum (Thorn) has defeated Nutellatella (Rhino).]
[15jj]
“what?”
Now, messages indicating a double kill instead of a solo kill came to mind in a row, and Thorn’s play, which he had dismissed as luck, came to mind.
[Quantum (Thorn) has defeated Durian (Akara).]
[15jj]
“crazy!”
Song Jae-Ik created a situation that no one expected by perfectly eating Akara, who was a counter pick coming to the mid-lane.
“What is this all of a sudden? Be honest. Aren’t you playing right now?”
And since it was Um Kang-seok who knew Song Jae-ik’s skills better than anyone else, I couldn’t help but be surprised by this situation more than anyone else.
– What nonsense. me or someone who is at home
“Thorn! shot! Oh my gosh. You are finally crazy.”
[Blue team destroyed the first turret in the mid.]
Um Kang-seok then stopped thinking when he heard the message that Mid’s turret had been destroyed.
—
[No f*ck. Is it true that you hit Thorn? to Akara? Close the game.]
[15jj]
[No 15 villain, please shut up.]
When the game was overrun by Thorn, who was convinced he would be a troll, the RED team found themselves in the grip of infighting. As confident as they were that they would win, the momentum of the team went down in an instant.
[The troll was here. Thorn seems to be a paternal or deputy.]
[In the beginning, 3 kills was just a self-penalty level.]
[It’s a paternal, nabal, and a human being who keeps throwing while dying like that is also a problem. That too to Thorn.]
One turret in the mid lane of the red team was completely destroyed and the second was half destroyed, and after three kills, they had 7 deaths without getting a single kill.
[damn. Did I just die? If even 2 vs 1 die then this is not my problem. Thorn is so f*cking good!]
Durian, who moved midway against Thorn, tried to protest, but his teammates only ridiculed him.
No matter how much I tell the truth, the perception of Thorn as a hero was at that level.
[Blue team destroyed the second turret in the mid.]
As the turret right in front of the main base exploded, the red team had no choice but to move together in the mid-line to block Thorn, who was pushing the mid-lane.
[Oh no. This game will explode. First of all, mid-line ㄱㄱ.]
And the blue team knew that, so they united and pushed the mid-line hard.
[This must be stopped unconditionally. You have to block and push mid to win.]
[Shut up and take care of yourself. If only you hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have come this far. For something that was barely shot.]
And even right before the teamfight started, the red team was blaming each other for what happened.
However, the players of the red team, who moved to the bottom line at the start of the game, were full of confidence.
He was in the gold tier and at the same time ate up the bottom line and steadily grew up, so he was sure that he could easily catch the bronze shot.
Of course, there was one gold tier opponent, but he had the upper hand in terms of compatibility.
And as Thorn, who had been watching the liver for several attacks, rushed through the mobile device as if he had been waiting, he pressed the first skill and moved the mouse at the same time.
If you hit Thorn with the first skill, it wouldn’t be a problem to tear the opponent apart in an instant through linkage.
However, after avoiding his first skill by moving, his character in the screen was hit by Thorn’s skill, and as more than half of his blood flowed, he remembered Durian’s chat with Thorn.
[Thorn is so f*cking good!]
[Quantum (Thorn) has defeated Drunk Game (Mad Magician).]
[Puff!!! Are you patrilineal or substitute?!]
The drunken game, who did not admit that he died from a bronze shot, stared at the black screen and chatted madly, but no one agreed with his words. I was just laughing at myself when I died.
[f*ck! It’s like a shooting game!]
Song Jae-Ik literally got the best praise you can hear in a game.
—
– No what the f*ck. what are you really Are you sane?
After that teamfight in the middle, the red team’s momentum was completely pushed back, and the blue team, who gained momentum, won the match by destroying the Nexus within 5 minutes of the teamfight.
And rather than restarting the game, Um Kang-seok spat out random words toward Song Jae-ik in excitement.
“what?”
To Um Kang-seok’s question, Song Jae-ik calmly answered, suppressing the feeling of wanting to cheer for the whole family to leave at once.
– Don’t you remember? Just the other day, you were playing a game with me and got 10 deaths in mid-mid and went out of your mind, so you went crazy?
“I don’t know. catch up with you soon Gold is coming soon.”
Song Jae-ik giggled and laughed.
“Go again?”
– go.
Intoxicated with the momentary game victory, Song Jae-ik forgot about the ring for a moment, and as a result of playing two more games with Eom Kang-seok, he won both games by winning the POG (Play of the Game).
Normally, Legend of Heroes was a game I didn’t want to play after two or three games. Because of course I didn’t do well. After playing just a couple of games, there were a lot of kids who would just die rather than kill the enemy and talk nonsense in the chat.
But today was completely different.
It was because the play of Taker’s Mad Movie, which he had seen before playing the game, was reproduced in his own hands. Even if there are some mistakes, of course.
“Oh, good! It was so much fun!”
– So that’s it. Come up to the gold quickly. Let’s run the competition together.
“It should be. What is gold? Shouldn’t it go higher?”
– I mean. Take gold and tell me. I’m going. Good job.
“ah. Would you like to eat at home tomorrow? I’ll give you food.”
Um Kang-seok was silent for a moment at what Kang-seok Um said right before he left, and then spat out the words as if they were nonsense.
– I’m not going to eat. I know your cooking skills, but what? I’ll have it delivered. I’ll go in the evening
Song Jae-ik, who finished the game because of Um Kang-seok’s dinner promise, stretched out with a satisfied smile on his face.
‘It’s thrilling. But something is missing.’
However, after the game was over, Song Jae-ik, who felt the atmosphere of the quiet house again, could not erase the feeling of regret.
In the first place, I turned on my computer to find something about the ring, and then somehow ended up playing a game, but I realized it clearly through the game.
As the ring said, this ring was a real versatile ring. You can recreate Taker’s crazy play simply by watching you tube.
I still couldn’t throw away the idea that it was a childish name, but I wondered if there was a more accurate word than that.
When I thought about it this far, I felt like I knew a little bit about the identity of that regret.

Lack or thirst, craving.
In a way, it was just a game, but I had a certain certainty that I could do anything like the main character in a movie.
Just like you asked the ring. Whether it’s studying, singing, playing games, acting, or whatever you do physically.

Like Leonardo da Vinci, who represented Italy during the Renaissance.
As the ring said, literally anything is possible.
It was a thirst and longing to make all the dreams he thought of come true.
