Who Is Hades?

"Hahahaha, as long as we get rid of this boss, Korea will claim the first clear!

"Even though we may not be the best in reality, can the others compete with us Koreans when it comes to games? We strive to be number one in the game world!"

Park Hyuk-Dong could not help but laugh out loud when he thought of how the words "Seoul Tower Union" would be written on the global banner. 

It was also at this moment that a huge golden banner suddenly appeared on the global screen of the game.

[Ding! Congratulations! Team Hades from the Zero Union has successfully killed the Demon Mummy boss! They have become the first team on the Eternity Continent's Novice Village to get the first kill in the world!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

...

"What's going on?! What is this Zero Union?!"

Park Hyuk-Dong was stunned when he saw the words on the global banner.

...

Antonio Union, New York, USA.

In a studio filled with dozens of computers, comments could be seen on each computer screen. A few professional gamers were currently livestreaming. They each controlled a different character and were conquering the second boss of the Dark Swamp dungeon. The HP of the boss was almost depleted!

"Antonio Union is awesome!"

"Oh my God, is this the standard of a professional player?"

"What kind of operation is this? This positioning, this pulling!"

"Come on, brothers, look at the news. No union in the world has passed the second boss, Demon Wizard!"

"F*ck! Could it be that the Antonio Union is going to help us get the first clear of Dark Swamp? If they do, they will really become gods!"

The netizens who were watching the livestream were now shouting in excitement.

Because the title of the livestream said that they were fighting the Demon Wizard boss, the popularity of the livestream had already broken through 10,000,000 viewers. It stood as the number one gaming livestream! 

However, one of them suddenly shouted, "Why aren't you looking at me?" Following that, the screen went black.

The few professional players became careless when they saw that the boss was on the verge of death, which led to them neglecting the archers and wizards summoned by the Demon Wizard. As a result, their team's wizard was targeted and killed. Due to the loss of a companion, the pressure on their shoulders instantly increased. A few minutes later, their screens turned black one by one.

"This boss is too difficult. The archers and wizards summoned by the Demon Wizard are too difficult to deal with. If we are not careful, we will be killed by their attacks. We have tried our best," the president of the Antonio Union took off his headphones and said regretfully. "Everyone, please continue to lock onto our livestream room. After a new round of preparation, we will continue to explore the Dark Swamp dungeon!"

"Sigh, what a pity."

"If the Antonio Union can't conquer the second boss, who else can we count on?"

"What are you thinking about? Even the professional players haven't succeeded in exploring the dungeon, let alone us who are not as talented as them. Let's just focus on increasing our levels."

The netizens sighed in front of the screen.

...

At this moment, a global banner with a golden light suddenly appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations! Team Hades from the Zero Union has successfully killed the Demon Mummy boss! They have become the first team on the Eternity Continent's Novice Village to get the first kill in the world!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

The global banners were refreshed three times in a row.

"Zero Union, the world's first clear! Oh my God! Which f*cking union is this! Why haven't I heard of it before!"

"Why does it feel like our country's union?"

"That's not quite possible..."

"I think it might be Korea's. After all, they're insanely talented in gaming."

The netizens instantly started discussing in front of the computer screen.

Because of the Eternity Company's promise saying that gold coins could be converted into real money, Eternity had become the most popular online game in the world. No other game could compete with it in this limelight. Some weaker countries were using Eternity as the pillar for the funding of their country's capital.

They also strongly recommended Eternity in their country.

As a result, the number of people online for this game had already exceeded 700 million!

Moreover, these 700 million players all saw the words on the global banner.

"What union is Zero Union?"

"Who is this Hades? How is he so powerful?"

"How can he clear the dungeon? I'll report him for having a bug!"

In an instant, Zero and Hades became hot searches on all the major platforms, as well as search keywords.

Dark Swamp dungeon, Demon Mummy's cave.

[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 18!]

[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 19!]

[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 20!]

In the cave of the dungeon, James Williams heard the sound of several notifications. After clearing the dungeon in the Eternity Continent, he had gained 120,000 experience points. As a result, he and his pets instantly rose to level 20.

After level 20, the experience points needed to level up would be several times more than before.

Subsequently, he successfully unlocked the second skill slot. Now that his pets had also unlocked the second skill slot, he was planning to head to the Crimson Fire Dragon, Gerrard's Tulas City. He intended to buy better skill books for his pets there.

Then, James Williams began to sort out his rewards for clearing the Dark Swamp dungeon.

First of all, he saw the diamond crimson equipment set given to him by the Crimson Fire Dragon, Gerrard.

This was a diamond equipment set, the highest level he had ever obtained in this life. He put it on without hesitation.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the following attributes for the crimson equipment set: attack + 500! Defense + 400! Agility + 300! HP + 1,000! Passive: An additional damage worth 10% of the enemy's maximum HP will be dealt when attacking the enemy!]

This... This allowed him to deal more damage to monsters that had a higher HP.

Next was the union reward, 40,000 experience points, and a special union skill, Beginner's Luck.

[Beginner's Luck: Increases the level of luck of the union members.]

A high level of luck could be very heaven-defying. With this buff, their union would have a higher chance of picking up good equipment when compared to normal players. Moreover, normal players were usually incapable of dealing critical damage, but with this buff, things were different. They would now have the chance to deal critical damage!
