Episode 25.
Flash.
A familiar yet unfamiliar landscape appeared through my two wide-open eyes.
A house so shabby that it’s old.
The scenery itself was very familiar.
But somewhere the angle of view felt quite unfamiliar.
It’s as if you’re lying on the floor watching… .
“ah.”
It was only then that Siwoo realized that he was lying on the floor.
The mind is slowly coming back.
Siwoo raised his body by putting his hand on it.
“Ahh…!”
My head started to hurt so much it felt like it was going to burst.
The floor where Siwoo was lying was stained with something dark red.
There was a pungent scent of blood on the bridge of my nose.
It seemed like the blood that had run down had hardened and stuck.
“Did you faint…?”
Siwoo was able to grasp the situation.
And maybe it was because I had a deep sleep that made me faint.
My head was hurting like it was going to burst, but ironically, my body felt very refreshed.
Perhaps because of that, there was nothing particularly abnormal about his body.
There didn’t seem to be any major problems other than a headache.
It seemed like a simple breakdown caused by accumulated fatigue.
“I’m glad.”
Siwoo could breathe a sigh of relief.
If I had been admitted to the hospital here, it would have been a big problem.
It wasn’t just a problem of hospital bills.
YouTube, gear crafting, and dungeon raiding.
I had to stop everything I was doing.
But is it because of Hercules’s super strength (SS)?
Fortunately, the enhanced body could only end with fainting.
Siwoo checked the time, pressing his throbbing forehead.
[Current time] – 04:31
4:31 a.m.
The time Siwoo checked before passing out was 4:32 AM.
In short, time had been reversed by one minute.
Did I faint and go back to a minute ago?
Of course, that couldn’t be the case.
“You were passed out for 24 hours?”
To be exact, it could be said to be 23 hours and 59 minutes.
In short, it was like I just wasted a day.
So we had to move right now.
“Phew… .”
But Siwoo didn’t do that.
Siwoo sat up and leaned against the wall, letting out a sigh.
Since starting a YouTube channel.
Siwoo’s work routine could be described as nothing short of murderous.
First, plan the content for the video.
Analyze the relevant monsters and select the appropriate ones.
Go to the management office and receive the dungeon of the selected monster.
Take videos while raiding dungeons.
After raiding, farm equipment materials from monster corpses.
Bring the farmed materials and visit Seo’s workshop to craft equipment.
Hand over the equipment you made to Soeun.
After handing over the items, I return home and edit the footage I took.
After finishing editing by dawn, I go back to raiding dungeons.
There was no time to close my eyes during this process.
“This can’t go on.”
It seemed like something special was needed.
It wasn’t something to be stubborn about.
Fortunately, this time I was able to get away with just fainting.
But I couldn’t keep up this murderous schedule forever.
In fact, even now, his body has been strengthened due to his brute strength.
If not, it was a schedule that would have collapsed long ago.
“We need to reduce our workload.”
But when it came to actually reducing it, I felt at a loss.
Because then the means to make money would decrease.
Siwoo needed a lot of money.

It required profits in the hundreds of millions, not just a few pennies.
Furthermore, it had to continuously generate profits in the hundreds of millions.
So I couldn’t give up on any of them.
YouTube had to row when the water came in.
If I stop making equipment, there’s no way to make a living right now.
Dungeon raids are a must for YouTube videos and gear crafting.
“So-eun will be here soon to get some herbs….”
Then, you also need to set aside time to raise your proficiency in Divine Medicine (S+).
“But if you keep doing this and collapse, the hospital bills will be higher.”
There was a need to reduce the workload in many ways.
Siwoo was lost in thought.
I had to cut down on my workload, but there was nothing I could cut down on.
Dungeon raids, YouTube, and gear crafting.
These were things I couldn’t give up.
But we could reduce the workload.
Of course, Siwoo had to do the dungeon raiding and equipment crafting himself.
But it wasn’t YouTube.
To be exact, there was one thing that Siwoo didn’t have to do himself.
“Let’s elect an editor.”
Siwoo immediately wrote a notice to recruit an editor.
* * *
A cafe nearby.
As I took a sip of my iced Americano, a refreshing aroma spread through my mouth.
“I didn’t know there would be this many applicants.”
Siwoo posted an advertisement to recruit an editor.
More applicants than expected sent in their resumes.
It was a new channel, and in common parlance it was a hackneyed channel.
Still, there were a lot of applicants.
“Is it because the pay is high?”
Base salary of 300 plus additional incentives based on views.
To be honest, it could be said that the conditions were quite groundbreaking.
That was also a condition that could not be put forward on a new channel.
Above all, it is not generating any revenue yet.
In effect, it was nothing more than throwing money on the ground.
Nevertheless, Siwoo proposed an unprecedented condition.
“Because you can’t just pick and choose.”
Because I know how important editing is.
It is no exaggeration to say that editing skills determine the enjoyment of a video.
Of course, there was a saying that the original plate was immutable.
Basically, it means that the video has to be fun.
But the editing could transcend even that.
Even the worst videos can be turned into masterpieces.
It could truly be called a divine technique.
So, during that time, Siwoo spent most of his time editing.
Due to the nature of the strategy channel, subtitles must be added to each line.
From scene directing to sound effects, special effects, and even the use of appropriate memes.
I literally spent most of the day just editing.
Dungeon raiding, material farming, and equipment crafting.
Editing took more time than all of this combined.
So Siwoo thought about briefly learning some editing-related skills from GotTube.
If you learn editing skills on YouTube, it will become much easier.
But unfortunately, there was no such thing as an editing god.
The only person who can be singled out is this.
『
William Shakespeare, known as the master of literature.
And I watched the video briefly.
I was definitely impressed by the directing.
In particular, the direction of the scene where it is revealed that they were siblings was truly breathtaking.
The build-up to the process was met with spontaneous applause.
But that’s all.
I was far from video editing.
Wasn’t Shakespeare a playwright in the first place?
And is it true that a writer is a writer?
“If the first series was ‘If Juliet was NTR’?”
The title, Aggro, really drew a standing ovation.
Who wouldn’t click after seeing that title?
Siwoo could also learn a thing or two from this part.
“But where on earth did you learn words like that?”
Did you learn it from the Japanese gods Susanoo and Amaterasu?
Anyway, no matter how much I look at this Godtube, I can’t understand it in my right mind.
Siwoo shook his head from side to side.
anyway.
If only someone could do this editing process for me, it would be a lot less of a burden.
So now.
“I’m saying your skills are good.”
Siwoo looked at the video on his smartphone.
A ton of edited video samples sent in by aspiring editors.
Among those numerous videos, there was one edited video that caught Siwoo’s attention.
Easy-to-view subtitle font.
Even using memes with appropriate sound effects and a bit of humor.
The insight to extract the fun points of the video was also excellent.
“You have a great sense.”
One thing for sure is that his editing skills are better than Siwoo’s.
Actually, Siwoo wasn’t that good at editing.
I worked as an editor under Kang Do-cheol, but my main focus was monster analysis and strategy.
He can edit to some extent, and this could be said to be Ga Si-woo’s editing skill.
So Siwoo was at the cafe to meet the editor of this video in person.
The so-called interview.
“Why aren’t you coming?”
But why didn’t he come?
“His name was… Park Deok-gu.”
Siwoo checks the name of the contact.
I checked the contents of the messenger we shared yesterday.
Can we meet at XX Cafe tomorrow at 1pm?
12:10 PM
Okay, I understand.
12:11 PM
I definitely read it and even received a reply.
That means I am not unaware of it… .
[Current time] – 13:03
“But why aren’t you coming?”
Siwoo lowered the score of a person named Park Deok-gu.
Editing skills are a skill, but meeting deadlines is also an important factor.
It’s already like this, so I wonder if they’ll be able to keep up with the YouTube upload times.
“Judging by your name and speech, you don’t seem young.”
Judging from the way he was wearing his clothes, he looked like he was in his fifties.
I don’t know, but at least late 40s.
Well, age doesn’t matter to YouTube editors.
All that was needed was to edit it well.
In any case, it meant that he was a person who had eaten all the social stuff.
Siwoo sent a message to Park Deokgu.
Where are you?
1:04 PM 1
I sent the message and waited a moment.
But the number 1 did not disappear.
That means you haven’t read it.
“Are you coming in a hurry?”
If the message was coming so quickly that I couldn’t read it, that could be the case.
But on the other hand, I also thought, is this fishing?
So, it’s a situation where you say you’re going to have an interview but don’t show up.
“……Let’s wait a little longer.”
Siwoo decided to wait until he finished drinking the iced Americano he ordered.
Just then, as I was taking a sip of my iced Americano.
“Hey, did you hear that SH Group is doing an S-rank dungeon raid this time?”
A familiar word came to Siwoo’s ears.
Not too far from Siwoo.
Two men who looked like college students were having a conversation.
“SH Group? Oh. The dungeon that Han Chae-rin is raiding this time is S-rank?”
It was a sound that was buried in the noise of the bustling cafe.
To be exact, it was a conversation I didn’t care about.
But maybe it’s because of the name Han Chae-rin.
Siwoo’s ears focused on the conversation between the two men.
“But when did S-ranks come into existence in Korea? How long has it been since the last S-rank dungeon was created?”
“I heard that there are a lot of high-level dungeons these days. Maybe that’s why there are a lot of dungeon accidents.”
“Well, I heard on the news these days that dungeon breaks are occurring frequently.”
Is it because I’ve been so caught up in work lately?
I was unaware of what was going on in the world.
“But isn’t Han Chae-rin an A-rank hunter yet? Can she raid S-rank dungeons?”
“It wasn’t allowed originally. I guess the association gave permission for this team raid.”
“If it’s a team, SH Hunter Guild?”
“I guess so. And honestly, it’s Han Chae-rin. She’s a genius who aims for S+ level, so what’s the problem?”
“Well, that’s true. She’s the granddaughter of the SH Group and an S+-class hunter. She even has a very pretty face. Who will Han Chae-rin marry?”
“Maybe they’re from a wealthy family? Or maybe they’re S+-rank hunters.”
“Where can I find an S+ rank hunter like you?”
“I don’t know. Someone will marry Han Chae-rin. I don’t know who it is, but I’m really jealous.”
The two men continued their trivial conversation.
Siwoo lost interest after hearing the story.
‘I should just do my job well.’
Siwoo completely turned off his nerves.
In that sense.
‘No, really, why aren’t you coming?’
Park Deok-gu still hasn’t come.
The time I checked was already 1:15.
The messenger still hadn’t read it.
I was almost done with the iced Americano I ordered.
‘If you don’t come in 20 minutes, I’ll just have to go.’
Siwoo took a sip of the remaining iced Americano into his mouth.
And then to kill some time.
I logged onto GodTube.
“Hey, hey. Over there. Look outside.”
“Why… Oh?”
“Isn’t it really handsome?”
『
‘They make everything into a video.’
But it looked fun.
Hold on.
“Isn’t it so cute?”
“If Han Chae-rin and that guy confess at the same time, who would you choose?”
“Wow… I’m having trouble deciding?”
“What are you worried about? Of course it’s Han Chae-rin, right?”
“Considering all the background factors, it’s definitely Han Chae-rin. But honestly, if you only look at her appearance, I’m worried.”
“But why are you making such a fuss?”
“It looks like you’re late for your date with your boyfriend?”
“I’m jealous. What kind of person does that guy’s boyfriend do? He must be rich and handsome. And his body is amazing too.”
“I guess so. Ha… life.”
“Huh? Are you coming to this cafe?”
“Really? Are you meeting your boyfriend here?”
Daughter.
“Who do you think you’re looking for?”
“I guess there really is a boyfriend here.”
Woof!
For a moment, Siwoo’s smartphone rang softly.
Siwoo paused the video of Hephaestus he was watching and checked his messenger.
Where are you?
1:04 PM
I have arrived.
1:18 PM
The number 1 disappeared and a reply arrived.
Only then did Siwoo turn his head and look around the cafe.
And then a woman appeared.
Siwoo tilted his head without realizing it.
The woman was looking around as if she was looking for someone.
I feel like I can’t believe it.
Siwoo approached the woman and spoke to her.
“Mr. Park Deok-gu…?”
Then the woman looked startled.
And then, hesitantly, he looked at Siwoo’s expression.
“Sorry, I’m late..!”
The woman… no, Park Deok-gu bowed his head.
The eyes of everyone in the cafe were focused on Siwoo.
Eyes filled with various emotions.
The main emotion contained in those gazes was, ‘Why on earth are you with that kind of person…?’
That would be the case, seeing Park Deok-gu’s appearance through Si-woo’s blank gaze.
No matter how you look at his age, he looks like he’s in his early 20s.
A similar age to Seo-ah.
At most, one or two years older?
He must have run in a hurry because his face was covered in beads of sweat.
The flustered and bewildered expression added cuteness to her innocent appearance.
therefore….
“I’m late today because my younger siblings had a picnic… and I had to pack their lunches..! I’m sorry!”
Wasn’t he a man in his 50s?
