  2. This chap makes me wonder again about those promptsโ€ฆ early on they were actual status messages for the reader (unbeknownst to Bjorn), and at some point they were Bjorn's imaginations. Itโ€™s still kind of ambiguous, but I like to think itโ€™s the latter, to both show the breath of Bjorn's memorized game knowledge and the depth of his depravity/delusion.

    Still, I wonder if he came up with the armor name on his own (since it looked like the shield and he guessed correctly that it was a set), or if it was system-inspired.

    1. These system prompts are on the PCs left behind in the real world I thought. I think I remember a scene where the police take the PCs with them. It's kinda like Greed Island from HxH.

      1. Yep, I remember – I just meant from Hansoo/Bjorn's perspective. Early on (first few chapters), it was kind of implied that Bjorn was aware of them too (in his head), and then soon after the implication somewhat shifted to him estimating the details in his head due to his intimate familiarity with the game and the innate feelings, like gaining EXP, leveling up, and increasing stats, etc. (I think from chap 23 and on)I just picture him mentally approximating and calculating his own prompts due to his knowledge, and it being accurate and matching the system prompts on the PC (what we see as the reader). Imaging making a friend of someone you see and imagining their likeability increase as a stat, lol. Thatโ€™s kinda what I mean

        1. Yeah that's how I've been taking it the entire time. That's why he's the GOAT at this game.

    2. Don't we have a running thing going where the first person to name a new thing actually gives it the real name? Eg the monsters found in basement b1?

  3. โ€œStill, since the reflection isnโ€™t guaranteed, it probably wonโ€™t be too troublesome.โ€

    Baekho already planning for his 1v1 with Bjorn.

    The damage reflection definitely seals the deal tho, Baekho throwing a nuke at bjorn is definitely going to be in for a bad time unless it atomises him.

    1. That's exactly what that was. Everything is leading to this being the final meeting between them as non-enemies. I think it's go time after this boys.

    2. And itโ€™s going to be epic – looking forward to the battle of experts. Really curious at what the trigger will be. Then again, this is a fragile partnership and Baek Ho is a bit of a loose cannon (pun intended)

  4. So this armor ist worth atleast one essence.

    And we also got a hint for one of his future essences with the resource Pool he mentioned.

    After this expedition something big will come.

  5. I think it would have been funny if Beak Ho called it Aegis GM Armor lol!

  6. Poor GM, Bjorn keeps fucking him over but the GM is too meek to stand up for himself

    1. Yep, Bjorn basically said, this armor is mine, and the armor agreed.
