Chapter 88

Han Yoorim’s “Cosmic Osuary” beta test has been open for a week, and it’s already more famous for its treasure hunt than anything else.

A lot has happened during this time.

“Han Yoorim is seriously crazy.”

(Clip of Han Yoorim kidnapping a lead engineer and causing a black hole engine to go haywire)

It’s hilarious how she kidnapped someone who looks like they’d betray her at the drop of a hat and then threatened them.

– “So, physiognomy is a science now?”

– “But seriously, they do look like they’d betray you.”

“This is insane no matter how many times I watch it.”

“Amidst the rain of bullets, Han Yoorim’s sword drew a semicircle.

Following that, the combatants of the space pirate Polaner fell helplessly.

Kiiing—. Someone activated an Awakening Ability. Bullets scattered everywhere floated into the empty air. True to its hexagonal nature, the control-type Awakening Ability excelled in shipboard combat.

The bullets surged toward Han Yoorim from all directions, as if time was rewinding.

The Polaner Awakened One who used the ability smirked faintly, thinking, ‘I’ve won.’

And then.

Han Yoorim’s sword moved at an unbelievable speed, shooting down the bullets.

The panicked Polaner Awakened One tried to gather strength to use the ability again, but it was too late.

‘I told you, my romance is the Reinforcement System.’

That was the last scene the Polaner Awakened One saw.”

Seriously, how do you even describe this game’s controls? It’s like it’s overflowing with realism.

The freedom level is high, but so is the difficulty, making it far from easy. You have to play it to understand. Those controls are just unreal.

– “How do you even know that? Are you a broadcaster?”

┗”I once turned on a stream to show my friends, and even then, I could join the server.”

┗┗”Damn, I should’ve applied when I had it on for an hour.”

┗┗┗”They’re accepting more participants soon, so you should apply too.”

“Arena’s 8,282,918th failed ship hijacking lol.”

(Clip of Arena melting away from a plasma beam)

This looks seriously tough. No one’s even managed to infiltrate successfully yet.

– “I haven’t played the game, so I’m not sure, but that doesn’t seem like the standard strategy. Trying to do what you’re not supposed to do is obviously hard.”

┗”Can’t you just memorize the patterns?”

┗┗”The attack patterns are random and even adjust in real-time. You have to approach it like you’re infiltrating a massive spaceship, not like you’re trying to beat a game.”

A true gamer is someone who clears a shooting game without firing a single shot, finishes an RPG with the protagonist at level 1, and solves a puzzle game using glitches all in one day.

Of course, in just a week, Han Yoorim’s “Cosmic Osuary” has been chewed, torn, tasted, and enjoyed in many ways, and the game’s outline is slowly coming into focus.

“Cosmic Osuary Worldview Summary”

First, let’s break down the factions:

1. Human Empire

A supermassive nation that values the protection of humanity. Its status is incomparable even to modern-day America.

2. Free Faction

Literally, anyone not affiliated with any group falls here. Players start in the Free Faction. It’s diverse—some feel like subsidiaries of the Human Empire, some are pirate groups, some are independent nations, and some are just adventurers. As long as you’re not officially part of the Human Empire, you’re labeled as Free Faction.

3. Iar

The term for space monsters. They’re humanity’s main enemy, and it’s no exaggeration to say they’ve taken over the universe. They’re numerous and powerful.

– “Iar is obviously taken from Iron lol.”

– “What kind of shock did they get from Iron to come up with this game?”

– “What even is Iron….”

“Cosmic Osuary Strategy Guide”

Based on the info so far, here’s the strategy:

1. Don’t form alliances and move in groups early on. You’re underarmed for your size, making you a prime target for pirates. Even if you form an alliance, farm individually and then regroup.

2. If you don’t have a specific goal, prioritize mobility for your spaceship. If you’re determined to run, even a basic ship can be hard to catch.

3. The fastest way to get stronger is to level up and build your character. The Awakening potential is insane—if you build it right, you won’t envy a fleet of ten.

– “The final Awakening tech is crazy, but can you even reach it in two weeks?”

┗”Of course not, but even the earlier Awakening abilities are OP. They’ll probably nerf it by the official release.”

Han Yoorim’s stream alone has 300,000 viewers, and with other streams and MTube, it’s almost millions. That’s probably why the analysis came out so quickly.

And it’s not just about the game content.

“So, where is this Freedom Game Creation License?”

[Freedom Game Creation License].

Han Yoorim always says, “The Freedom Game Creation License is one of the items in the list, and its official name is Daebibo. Some people might want a meal ticket instead of the Freedom Game Creation License, right?” But no one ever listens.

Now, the viewers have started to half-listen to Han Yoorim.

“Han Yoorim did drop a hint.”

“‘You’re not looking for the Freedom Game Creation License, you’re looking for Daebibo.’

‘Daebibo. I won’t give hints unless you admit that some people might want the wine I carefully selected.’

‘Finding one treasure in this vast universe is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. So, I placed them where they’re likely to be.’

‘Since everyone plays differently, there are three in total, each in a different place.'”

Does anyone understand what this means?

– “They’re placed where they’re likely to be.”

So…

-Isn’t it that you drop something when you defeat a boss monster?

<Looks like they left one for each faction?>

Seems like there’s one Freedom Game Creation License for each of the three factions: the Human Empire, the Free Faction, and the Aiyr.

-The Human Empire’s is probably held by the Emperor, the Free Faction’s can be found through adventures,

-The problem is the Aiyr side, huh?

The Paradox of Omniscience. Realizing the principles of all things doesn’t make you omnipotent.

The fact that there’s no way to obtain omnipotent power is also included in omniscience.

Same here.

Now, all participants, including viewers, have roughly guessed where the [Freedom Game Creation License] is. At least two out of the three locations are pinpointed.

But knowing and obtaining it are entirely different problems.

The Human Empire. The guardian supporting current humanity.

And stealing the possession of the Emperor, the divine sage of the Human Empire? Impossible without transcendent force. It’d be faster to earn it by serving the Human Empire.

The Aiyr are even worse. They’ve turned practically all intelligent beings into enemies and devoured half the universe.

Killing these guys and obtaining the [Freedom Game Creation License]?

Maybe someday, but not within two weeks.

<But isn't the Aiyr better than the Human Empire?>

The Aiyr are loosely organized, but those monsters live however they want. The moment you mess with the Emperor, the Human Empire issues a kill order.

-True, but how do you kill that monster?

The Aiyr, who are most likely to have the [Freedom Game Creation License], are the Space Tentacle Monsters players first encounter.

<Kill this guy?>

(Clip of the Space Tentacle Monster casually destroying massive ships like toys)

Him? LOL

Thus, people split into three factions:

1. The “Just enjoy the game” faction.

2. The “Explore suspicious planets in the universe” faction.

3. The “Seriously take on the Human Empire and Aiyr” faction.

The “Just enjoy the game” faction did exactly that.

“Hey, this game has something like an Android? …Huh?”

<ㅇㅇ donated 2000 won>

-Reincarnated daughter in another world, LOL

“Why is this so expensive? On purpose?”

Despite the obvious intent, they gritted their teeth and saved money, or…

<ㅇㅇ's 1000 won slurped up>

-How about leveling up and trying?

“Han Yoorim succeeded even at a low level.”

They took on seemingly impossible challenges.

Next, the “Explore suspicious planets in the universe” faction did just that.

They investigated everything suspicious.

“This looks artificial.”

<Thanks for the 1000 won, ㅇㅇ!>

-Where?

“Look here. It’s shaped like wings. Symbolizing freedom.”

<Thanks for the 1000 won, ㅇㅇ!>

-You’re insane.

Of course, things weren’t great.

The <Cosmic Osuary> has a scale so impressive it’s a wonder how it was made. Investigating every planet in such a game?

Finding a needle in a desert would be faster.

“Move to the Pegasus constellation coordinates. The Freedom Game Creation License must be here.”

But they couldn’t give up.

It’s the [Freedom Game Creation License], after all.

Based on Han Yoorim’s hint, “It’s where it should be,” they held all sorts of deduction shows.

<Isn't this it?>

Numbers related to freedom—1776 (U.S. Declaration of Independence)

July 4 (U.S. Independence Day, 7 and 4)

The Eagle constellation is associated with freedom.

So, based on this info, the coordinates would be…

(A specific coordinate on the universe map)

Here, right?

-This is crazy LOL

-Hey, Hako, I’m doing this exactly as is LOL

<Hey, I think we actually found it?>

The planet looks weird from the start.

-Is this for real?

-Give me the broadcast link.

The man landed on the suspicious planet and shouted “Eureka!”

“I found it!”

[Ding ding ding. Congratulations. You’ve won the Think Big Prize. Here’s a praise sticker and 100 gacha pulls.]

“I didn’t find it! And this game doesn’t even have a gacha system, where am I supposed to use these pulls?!”

Like this, countless people got closer to the treasure in their own ways.

And then…

<The Great Alliance has been formed LOL>

Over half the server participants gathered.

-Wow

-This is spectacular

-And it’s not even stopping, more server participants are joining LOL

Finally, the “Seriously take on the Human Empire and Aiyr” faction…

Held a deployment ceremony.
