Chapter 236: The Peak
-"Are you really not considering going pro? How about joining Lightning Bullet and being active with !"
-"···I'll think about it."
-"Yes! I'll be waiting anyti! Really anyti! Feel free to contact even at dawn!"
"Hackphysical defeats the 8th-ranked Challenger Endless and claims victory! Who on earth can stop Hackphysical?"
"To be honest, I don't think anyone can. Even Battler, who was ranked 1st, couldn't do it."
-The current strongest lost, so who's gonna stop him~
-anwhile, Endless is desperately clinging;
-This is the sadness of a boy breadwinner trying to share the burden sohowㅜㅜ
-Contact even at dawn lmfaoㅋㅋㅋㅋ
After defeating Battler, the strongest opponent, Baek Woohyun continued his winning streak.
The process from battle to victory was so smooth and natural that it seed completely natural for him to win.
As Jeong Nayeon said, since even Battler, ranked 1st, had been defeated, it seed no one could stop his ascension.
Precisely because of this, the battle with Battler—which had brought him to the brink of death as the price of victory even with his signature 'Superhuman' build—received renewed attention.
While other pro players dropped like flies even with casually chosen first builds, let alone signature builds, only Battler had shown a proper bloody battle.
It proved once again that he wasn't called the strongest among active pro players for nothing.
'DH Empire Citizen' donated '1,000 won'!
[Nope, go back. If Hackphysical debuts as a pro, it's definitely gotta be DH Empire]
-? Bullshit
-Empire fanboys always claim everything is theirs
-ㅎㅎ Then beco an Empire fan if you're jealous~
-Isn't it shaless to covet Hackphysical when you already have Battler?
"Everyone, calm down! Woohyun said he has no intention of debuting as a pro!"
"Fighting is not allowed!"
"Oh, is there any chance of going overseas?"
-Now we're talking about overseas leagues tooㅋㅋ
-It would be funny if he went overseas instead of dostic
-(In Korea) he has no plans to go pro, maybe??
-Info) The pro team Chloe supports is TLQ in the North Arican League
anwhile, Endless Jo Hoyoung of Lightning Bullet, the boy breadwinner, ignited discussions about pro teams, but fortunately it didn't last long.
After all, Baek Woohyun consistently maintained the sa stance that he had no intention of debuting as a pro player.
As they say, even a provincial governor can't force soone who refuses, so external chatter was aningless when the person himself said he wouldn't go pro.
The sa went for Chloe's subtle inquiry about the possibility of going overseas.
-"Good work. You're really strong."
-"Yes, good work."

"Hackphysical claims another victory! Now he's only one step away from the summit!"
"This is exactly why I thought there was no need to put 'Day 1' on the Challenger Road. I thought it would end in a day!"
"That was a wise choice, Nayeon."
-Challenger ranking 1st? One day is enoughㅋ
-Fastest climb in historyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-At this point it's not even ascension ㅇㅇ He's just finding his rightful place
-Challenger conquest completed in one dayㄷㄷ
Even after the minor commotion, Baek Woohyun continued toward the top of the rankings without hindrance. Toward the peak of the Challenger tier, where only the strongest gather.
Although this was the result everyone had expected, the panelists and viewers all squird in their seats with anticipation. Predictions were predictions, and reality was reality.
And finally.
"Challenger ranking 1st achieved!"
""Waaaah-!""
Clap clap clap!
-Kyaaaaa this is it~~~~
-ㅉㅉㅉㅉㅉㅉㅉㅉ
-Challenger 1st lmfaoㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The undisputed strongest in the Korean server ㄷㄷ
Baek Woohyun, after an ascension disguised as a climb, claid the throne that should have been his from the beginning. He had finally carved his na in three characters into the 1st rank.
Moreover, this was an achievent accomplished without a single defeat since starting ranked gas—truly unprecedented, one and only.
Now no one could dare deny that Baek Woohyun was Korea's strongest. Even the pro world's strongest opponent had been defeated, hadn't he?
'Congrats on Challenger 1st' donated '100,000 won'!
[I've heard of undefeated championships, but undefeated climbs are a first ㄷㄷㄷ]
'DH Empire Citizen' donated '300,000 won'!
[Now debut as a pro and sweep up all the championship trophies? Obviously the team should be DH Empire ㅎ]
'Early Fan' donated '50,000 won'!
[I knew sothing was up from your first appearanceㅋㅋ]
'Anonymous Viewer 62' donated '1,000,000 won'!
[^^]
-Ugh, Empire fanboys reallyㅡㅡ Just congratulate him
-Honestly it is a direct route to the first stringㅋㅋ Personal broadcast→Ranking climb→Pro debut, right?
-How long has it been since a different na was in 1st rank? Can't even rember properly
-A crazy chairman burning a million won on one laugh ㄷㄷ
"Thank you for your support!"
"I'll make sure to tell Woohyun!"
Congratulatory donations pouring down like rain and even more congratulatory chats flooding in!
This ti, the panelists including Jeong Nayeon also celebrated together instead of calming down the viewers. They didn't worry about the load on the broadcast from the massive number of viewers.
Even if the broadcast crashed here, that in itself would be enough of a topic. 'Broadcast that crashed upon achieving Challenger 1st.'
But fortunately, the broadcast didn't crash from viewers' donations and chats.
The 'Nuclear Tourism' content had been at the center of attention for quite a while, so the broadcast platform was also keeping a close eye on it and managing it to prevent crashes.
Thanks to that, viewers could clearly see the changed scenery of the battle preparation room and Baek Woohyun after reaching Challenger ranking 1st.
-"······."
Originally, the battle preparation rooms used by 'Reverse Planet' users all looked the sa. At most, only the tier displayed on the wall hologram monitor would change?
The various numbers—according to user investigations, they had no particular aning—were always the sa, and even the hologram map with a single island drawn in its entirety at the center was the sa.
Since matchmaking could be run without moving to the battle preparation room anyway, no personal customization features were provided, making it even more so.
However, those in the know were aware. That only one person had a different-looking battle preparation room.
They were mainly viewers who watched the personal broadcasts occasionally stread by Battler, who had firmly held the Challenger ranking 1st position.
When everyone used the sa battle preparation room, only the Challenger 1st could use a slightly different battle preparation room.
-"Hoh."
First, the Challenger tier display shown on the wall hologram monitor had changed to be incredibly flashy.
Normally, a regular user's tier display had the tier shape on half the screen, with the tier na, record, win rate, etc. written on the other half.
But Baek Woohyun's current tier display was completely different. The Challenger tier logo spread its wings wide with brilliant white light, occupying the entire screen.
Naturally, the tier na, record, and win rate had completely disappeared, and only No.1 was written below the logo.
-"···Hm?"
And.
A new object had appeared.
-"Heh."
-Hackphysical is laughing tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-That's lmfao, it'd be weirder not to laughㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The design is nice but it doesn't match the battle preparation room at all lmfaoㅋㅋ
-Battler had the sa reaction when he first saw it
Seeing the flashy throne—that looked like a gaming chair—placed in front of the hologram map, Baek Woohyun chuckled as if finding it absurd.
The cybernetic-design throne with a base of blue and gold harmony and vivid white light streaks flowing like lines was truly out of place in the battle preparation room.
It made sense—a cybernetic-throne-shaped-gaming chair suddenly appearing in a strict, solemn, serious atmosphere command and control room.
No wonder even Baek Woohyun let out a hollow laugh.
To that extent, the cybernetic-throne-shaped-gaming chair was a floating existence in this place.
-"······."
Step.
Shrugging his shoulders, Baek Woohyun approached the cybernetic-throne-shaped-gaming chair.
Separately from not matching well with this place atmosphere-wise, this was an object like a privilege that only one who achieved Challenger ranking 1st could have.
Having accomplished the purpose of Challenger Road and with timing to wrap up the broadcast now, it ant it was perfect to use as the final shot.
Then, sitting in the cybernetic-throne-shaped-gaming chair, he comfortably leaned back and crossed his legs.
It was a remarkably natural and comfortable appearance. As if declaring that he was sitting in the seat where he rightfully belonged.
That wouldn't be an incorrect expression. If the owner of this chair was the strongest, no one else but him could sit here.
-"It is comfortable."
-Holy shit ㄷㄷ
-Comfort is indeed the Challenger 1st chairㅋㅋ
-Info) When you hit Challenger 1st, they send you the sa chair in real life
-? For real??
"Hackphysical succeeds to the throne of Challenger 1st!"
"Succeeding you···."
"Is the chair really comfortable?"
Total record: 217 wins, 217 victories, undefeated.
This was the mont Baek Woohyun completed his Challenger conquest with an overwhelming record, claiming ranking 1st.

✪ [Official] As of today, the RePla Gallery declares.jpg
(Photo of many people cheering)

(Photo showing the period Battler held Challenger ranking 1st)
We declare liberation from the long, long Battler Occupation Period
As of today, the Challenger rankings have escaped the Battler Occupation Period and welcod a new 1st place
-Finally, liberation
-Get the fuck outㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ
-What do you an Battler Occupation Periodㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴWhat did he do? "1st place"
ㄴIf you took it once, you should co down lmfao
ㄴCan't you see the period in the pic??
-Since he's been devouring it continuously since debut, it's an occupation period, you crazy imperialist bastards
-Hackphysical is also scheduled to beco part of the Empire lol
ㄴImperialists have no conscience
ㄴYeah~ We have no conscience~ But we have Battler and Hackphysical~
-Is this liberation? Isn't it just another occupation period starting?
The results of Baek Woohyun's Challenger Road imdiately beca a hot topic in all 'Reverse Planet' communities.
Having openly declared a climb called Challenger Road, defeated the flocking pro players, and claid the throne with an absurd 217-win streak, it would have been stranger not to beco a topic.
Considering that the ti when people were making a fuss about breaking the consecutive win record was at 77 consecutive wins, and even then all the communities had gone up in flas, even this felt sowhat insufficient.
Even if it had been the setting of a protagonist in a manga or novel, it would have been criticized as excessive, yet he achieved it in reality—what more needs to be said?
