“I was watching this video here. It’s the ‘Documentary 4 Days’ content that hit several million views on V-tube last year.”
Cheon Sae-min showed a video with 7.5 million views to the production team.
He continued to scroll through the video with a calm expression before clenching his fist and pausing the video.
“This part here.”
Huh…!
The production team’s eyes trembled.
Among the awkwardly aligned game characters waving their hands, a very young child, presumed to be NoName’s avatar, was blinking constantly.
“This is Morse code, a telegraphic symbol that came out 200 years ago. Three short blinks mean ‘S,’ and three long blinks mean ‘O.’”
“So, S… OS?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Aah… How could this happen…”
Sniff… sob…
One assistant director, unable to suppress the wave of nausea rising within, rushed out to the bathroom.
It finally hit them that NoName had been physically trapped in a capsule.
It wasn’t just a simple poor childhood but a desperate and horrifying battle against death that NoName had fought for over seven years.
Watching the stiff-faced child desperately blink his eyes didn’t allow their emotions to subside.
“Thank you, Se-min Oppa.”
“NoName, you must live happily without pain. Got it?”
“Really, are you just putting on an act in front of the broadcast…? Yes, I understand.”
The next schedule was Asan Hospital in Seoul.
At that time, all the detectives and rescue workers gathered together with the doctor who had been in charge of NoName.
A year ago, a painfully thin girl, who was on the brink of death, walked in looking healthy.
In this touching reunion, they could not hold back their tears.
NoName, who they could only catch occasional updates on through the television screen, presented a flower bouquet she had made to each of them.
While NoName was undergoing a health check-up, interviews continued.
“I kept hearing that there wasn’t a survivor, so I thought it was a case of a mother committing joint suicide with her daughter by putting her in the capsule. There are quite a few such cases in Korea. These days, there are many people committing suicide with butane gas in capsules. Just because it doesn’t show up much in the news… Anyway, I’m so glad she has come back so healthily.”
Rather than believing that she had been trapped for seven years without food or water, it seemed far more plausible at the time that a mother-daughter pair, struggling with financial hardship, had willingly gone into an abandoned capsule to end their lives.
Finally, the doctor held NoName’s hand and returned to inform the production team of the check-up results.
“First, she’s underweight.”
Dun dun dun…
Was another wave of devastation about to crash in?
At the moment the youngest PD was clenching his eyes shut to prepare his heart, the doctor delivered some hopeful news.
“But it’s not malnutrition. The child has gained a lot of weight compared to before, and things like blood pressure and anemia levels are all normal here. The best news is that her Restacaya Syndrome was cured thanks to the significant Aura Heart surgery she had before, and the muscular dystrophy also shows hope for recovery thanks to the new medicine and potion she’s currently taking.”
Detective Ma Beom-il rushed over, picking NoName up in a hug while mumbling how relieved he was.
With her field of view instantly elevated to 2 meters, NoName looked down at the doctor asking,
“So, I can keep exercising, right?”
“As long as it’s not too intense, moderate exercise will actually be beneficial for your health.”
“That’s a relief.”
NoName beamed a smile.
Having received the doctor’s opinion, she could now duel without having to hide it from Professor Cheon.
But the production team, unaware of her true feelings, could only record the screen where NoName was giggling beautifully.
As they returned home in an eleven-seater van with the production team, the PDs checked the instructions they had received from the writers.
“NoName.”
“Yes?”
“Can the PD sisters ask you one thing?”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Have you ever created a Unique Magic?”
The PD started off with a voice that was drying up quickly.
“Yes, I have.”
“Did you do it alone…?”
“Yes. I did it alone.”
“Did you register it with the Japanese association?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“There were circumstances. Why… Can’t I?”
“It’s not that you can’t.”
NoName slightly bit her lower lip and turned her gaze out the window.
The PDs, sensing that the flow of conversation felt unusual, suddenly began pulling out their personal phones one by one and started recording the video.
They had sensed the expression on NoName’s face that seemed poised to commit a gigantic folly.
NoName and the production team had reached a level of mutual understanding where they could communicate telepathically just by looking into each other’s eyes.
[If you created a Unique Magic, why didn’t you tell anyone and registered it in Japan?]
NoName understood their gaze and quietly opened her mouth.
“Actually, I urgently needed a permanent residency in Japan. The procedures in Korea are a bit complicated.”
“What? Permanent residency? What do you mean, NoName!”
The van erupted with commotion.
What does all that deep and touching story they’ve filmed so far even mean?
Wait, what meaning…?
Why are rumors of NoName possibly leaving for a foreign country popping into their heads right now?
“Could it be that everything we’ve done today was a farewell?”
No way, that can’t be!
Why would NoName leave Korea?
Reasons to leave…
On second thought, there were certainly many.

“I really don’t get why this magic is so popular.”
Adella lightly waved her tail and asked me subtly.
“It’s obviously intuitive, isn’t it?”
“Intuitive, you say?”
“Yep. Just like a game. The one who stacks more is the better wizard.”
What is the biggest difference between a game and reality?
It’s the ‘rewards’.
In a game, achieving a quest grants you intuitive rewards like experience points or gold, but reality doesn’t work that way.
To achieve one result, you often have to go through countless trial and error, and sometimes you end up completely going in a different direction from your original goal.
It’s far too common for effort to betray you in reality, just like how Japan suffered a terrible defeat in the National Exchange Tournament.
But compared to that, the Adella Challenge was extremely intuitive.
All you had to do was to hold onto the trembling magic circle as stacks kept building up.
With the Unique Magic’s power escalating with each stack, people started sharing their achievements on social media as if they were in a competition.
[Adella Challenge success #5!]
[Adella #9… this is my limit…!]
[My friend succeeded up to 12. A beastly sense!]
[Adella Challenge verification #56.jpg]
-???
-Are you Japan’s Grand Mage?
-What? Surprise! Oh… That’s in Wagal, huh?;;
-Complete foul! Totally cheating!
-The game doesn’t grant realities.
-This guy’s a complete con artist wwwww
Each character in Wagal has action correction stats.
Especially for warriors, using Adella magic becomes several times easier, leading to an abundance of misleading posts that simulate reality.
I hated seeing my magic being misused so terribly.
Even if it was a Unique Magic that I delegated to Adella, it was a meaningful spell filled with memories from my childhood.
That’s why in the final shoot of the Genius Discovery Team, I planned to record a video on the correct usage of the Unique Magic alongside Adella.
I couldn’t let one side spoil the surprise, so I would release it to match the airing time of the Genius Discovery Team.
Delaying the upload until next Wednesday was quite uncomfortable, though.
“Let’s turn off all the assist systems, Adella.”
“Turn them all off? We might not even succeed ten times like that.”
“I’ll do it up to 50 times. If it doesn’t work, I’ll keep trying until it does.”
“5… 50 times?”
“Director, we are all set!”
I barely cleared up the misunderstanding that the production team thought I was leaving for Japan and explained my circumstances.
I said that Japan was the only place that would formally accept Adella as a citizen.
Even though they didn’t easily accept my reason for transferring the rights to the Unique Magic, what could I do?
“Hello, I’m NoName, the caster of the 1st Circle Unique Magic ‘Adella’.”
“I’m Asaneko Adella, who evolved from the Dawn Cat back to the Morning Cat! I’m the assistant! Yoroshiku Onegai Itashimasu!”

-Cat?
-If it’s a safari, is it a serval?
-No, what the heck? Why does this pose feel so familiar?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Morning Cat? A fake Dawn Cat?
-That bob haircut is obviously Adella!
-Using the game company’s avatar directly… Hmm… Hmm…
-Whoa… Will Kariri add another controversy line?
-Is the V-Tuber a real virtual being broadcasting? I’m seriously losing itㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I heard they invested several billion in the Kariri project, but even if they don’t want to split the settlement, isn’t it crazy to use AI? It seems like a huge risk…
-Honorary human Adella is different. I bet she has stacked incredible big data by now.
-If you say something wrong and get banned from broadcasting, since it’s AI, wouldn’t there be no way to remedy that?
-Only a one-group streamer… This is quite precious…
-Coming Soon, the end of October really pushes it. What have they been dragging for two months? They could’ve just dropped it right away!
Meanwhile, viewers would have to wait an entire week for the lower half of the Genius Discovery Team to find out whether ‘1st Circle Unique Magic Adella’ was indeed created by NoName.
Developing magic at eight years old without any help from adults had no precedent until now.
Despite being only the 1st Circle?
That same 1st Circle was making waves overseas in Japan under the name ‘Adella Challenge’.
So much so that even ordinary people were dusting off the wooden swords they had stored away since elementary school and learning how to use the ‘Adella’ magic while watching V-Tube videos.
What does it matter if Wagal is cheating…
In the middle of a martial arts dojo, Katsuhata Emika set up a beam projector and started playing the V-Tube videos to watch NoName’s demonstrations and explanations.
From what she felt so far, the Unique Magic ‘Adella’ was clearly a cooperative technique that required at least two people for a perfect casting.
It wasn’t a matter of multitasking; if cast alone, the power dispersed into the air, resulting in nothing more than a harmless blast.
“Is that the future of Japanese swordsmanship you’re talking about, Katsuhata?”
She wasn’t the only one; dojo seniors on either side of her were seated in a fan shape with their legs crossed.
“I’m not sure, but at the very least, we might gain hints about the direction we should move towards.”
“Be it any other style from Japan, there’s nothing to learn for us Koreans.”
“…”
Currently, Japanese swordsmanship was so rigid.
Emika, just like her seniors, was wary of turning into the same color; however, under oppressive training, she often found herself collapsing helplessly.
Moreover, the society of Japanese mages often engaged in petty politics, revolving around three major schools, not much different from a corrupt political scene.
Arghhh! 50 times! I did it!
Good job.
The power of Adella’s 50 strikes was enough to topple a thick obelisk pillar.
But the seniors merely watched with disinterest.
“Your skill is good.”
“The power is indeed strong.”
“But it’s impractical.”
“Who would allow 50 hits?”
All of them were right.
Of course, the opponent is not a stationary scarecrow.
Emika eventually lowered her head sadly.
“Okay, let me clear my mind. I feel like I’ve been having too many unnecessary thoughts lately because of insufficient mental training.”
After all, the Adella Challenge was just a trivial game spreading mainly on TikTok and Instagram.
The girl destined to be the successor of the Katsuhata style decided not to be bothered by small matters.
Small… Small… Wait a minute… Didn’t that girl say she was eight years old?
How on earth did she come up with a Unique Magic?
Just as an intense sense of discomfort was about to engulf her.
What! Wasn’t it over, sister!?
Adella, why are you whining so early? The variations on Unique Magic are just beginning.
Variations…?
A blonde woman clacked her black boots as she took the wooden puppet further away to the other side.
Then she returned to where the silver-haired cat-eared girl was and picked up Skiabona.
Now that the close-range is over, it’s time for long-range. Are you going to just stand there if the squid is far away?
Her eyes crescented like a crescent moon.
The beautiful woman’s smiling eyes seemed to give some kind of message to the foolish crowd watching this video.
Sympathy? Mockery? Either way, it’s fabulous…
All she knew was that she had completely stolen the heart of the little Japanese girl.
“I’ve always been the one hitting, whether it rains or snows. I absolutely detest getting hit.”
