Chapter Title: No-Hyup Goes Wild
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Major game webzine site Adventure in South Korea hosted countless gaming communities.
Each community had its own vibe and culture, with frequent drama and mishaps, but players universally agreed there was no better place to snag game info.
[Demonic Cult Elder Baek Wi-gang rated his own martial prowess as Super Peak. What do you think?]
Among them, Hyupben was the community for For the Righteous. But folks there mostly called it something else.
Yeah.
No-Hyup.
The reason was simple.
"No" from the English for "no righteous heroes"—the polar opposite of the game's title For the Righteous.
Plus "wuxia" mashed with "old fart," nodding to so-called "wuxia boomers" obsessed with outdated pure wuxia vibes.
And the character for "old" (老).
Together, it packed that double-layered jab perfectly.
But the site's actual average user age was surprisingly young.
(Exam Video)
Forty years as a Nangong warrior. Looks like I didn't waste 'em.
Super Peak's a realm that's damn hard to reach, right? What an achievement for our cult—wanna join the Demonic Cult while you're at it?
No, you demon...
Hasn't this game been out less than 40 years? How'd Nangong bro pull that off?
Demonic Cult trash takes the exam? Demonic Cult trash takes the exam? Demonic Cult trash takes the exam?
You can take the exam without joining, dumbass.
Whoa, that's impressive, gramps!
Woo-hoo! Super cool!
Why do these Japanese-speaking trolls keep popping up no matter how many I block?
There are no true heroes. This is the No-Hyup you chose. Survive on grit and evil.
The concept roleplay got a bit heavy-handed.
It felt like a place to vent all the stuff folks were too embarrassed to do in-game.
Of course, that didn't mean there were no role-players in-game or that No-Hyup was all like this.
Actually, normal posts made up about 70%.
Serious analysis and info-sharing threads, that is.
Watched the vid—Nangong Se mixed his forms seamlessly for the demo ㄷㄷ. Tweaked variations so Baek Wi-gang couldn't catch on. High-level stuff?
Dan rank leftover?
At least ranker level. Who else among rankers could pull that off? Even wore a mask to hide ㅋㅋ
If you learn this old man's identity, harm will come. (OP)
Jealous of that Super Peak title! Gimme one faction in the Demonic Cult.
Still, "normal" by internet forum standards.
Murin without a faction getting Super Peak? Tough, right?
Yeah
Demonic Cult exam's standard forms—with a month of practice matching every motion perfectly, you get Peak title.
But not Super Peak. Gotta be insanely perfect for that. OP brought his faction's form 'cause it's his most-used—must've gained real insight. FYI, fewer than 50 have Super Peak.
Wtf... that hard? What now
It's just a title next to your nick. Nice perk if you join Demonic Cult, but that's it ㅋㅋ You joining?
No!
Then who cares
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Replies to "You joining the Demonic Cult?" dismissed it like it wasn't even worth considering—firm and obvious.
And the sneering follow-ups anyone could spot.
Scroll up, and you'd see hordes trashing the Demonic Cult!
Samjangno, a Demonic Cult ranker and one of the Three Elders, hated the current No-Hyup mood.
"Damn it."
Funniest part: No Demonic Cult players have hit Super Peak ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Fr?
Yeah
How in a Demonic Cult exam ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Baek Wi-gang messed up ㅋㅋ
"If you're gonna say it, explain properly! This makes Demonic Cult players sound inferior."
The Demonic Cult's martial arts hallmark? No forms at all.
Compared to Huashan Sect's twenty-plus forms in one art, it was pathetically lacking.
Not even lacking—zero.
"Gotta let 'em know no Demonic Cult folks have hit Super Peak!"
Every Super Peak title holder had modded forms they'd honed over thousands of hours.
Anyone innovating real forms would open a dojo, not game.
"Nah... Gamers can earn more than martial instructors sometimes..."
Shaking off that idle thought, Samjangno geared up to defend the Demonic Cult in comments.
Then.
Overhype on just Super Peak lol. Our Great Heavenly Demon Cult's 14th Heavenly Demon got Grandmaster ㅋㅋ Look at this rice-slop Nangong punk getting excited ㅋㅋㅋ
A classic troll comment.
Samjangno wanted to slap his forehead.
"Demonic Cult..."
Nick and antics screamed it.
Obvious Demonic Cult.
He dabbled in old-man speak and RP in group chats too, but never pulled aggro this blatant.
Too embarrassing.
Grandmaster my ass ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Dreaming?
14th Heavenly Demon? ㅋㅋ Don't you guys have hundreds of Heavenly Demons?
Imagination's on point ㅋㅋ Grandmaster bs
Very embarrassing.
Folks say ignoring trolls works best.
But Samjangno realized something better: mockery.
"Don't tank the Demonic Cult image more... fanboy."
Defense mood? Gone.
Just wanted out.
Hit back.
[Today's Battlefield Victors.]
[Proud to be a sturdy Orthodox warrior? Upvote ㅋㅋ]
[Demonic Cult Elder Baek Wi-gang rated his own martial prowess as Super Peak. What do you think?]
[What True Martial Arts Means and 180 Reasons For the Righteous is Pure Wuxia]
"All done."
Habitual refresh.
Battlefield closed at 10 PM.
No-Hyup's peak hours.
Refresh usually brought one recommended post.
The new one had Samjangno baffled—then bursting out laughing.
"Hahaha. Crazy bastard? This anti's genius. Aish, Demonic Cult image is doomed."
He said that, but it cracked him up.
OP: That aggro troll FanaticBeliever.
Title:
["The Demonic Cult is Insane"—Why Orthodox Factions Tremble in Fear, Unorthodox in Chaos. "What is the 14th Heavenly Demon's True Identity?"]
"Aigoo."
Now stuck with nationalist—no, Demonic Cult nationalist vibes.
Sighing bitterly yet smirking inside, Samjangno moused over.
Couldn't not click a title like that.
But.
Samjangno's eyes widened as he chuckled and dove in.
(Grandmaster Achievement Clip)
The true Heavenly Demon has arrived. The era of the Great Heavenly Demon Cult begins now. Heavenly Demon Reborn! All Demons Rise!
????
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Real? Title's hilarious tho
Edited probs
No way a higher title drops outta nowhere
Looks like standard forms but even Super Peak didn't pop, wtf
OP's FanaticBeliever...
The post had a clip of a streamer actually earning "Grandmaster."
Reactions were skeptical.
This random top-tier title out of nowhere?
Samjangno too.
"What is this? Real?"
Did Grandmaster even exist?
If so, why hadn't others gotten it yet?
He needed more intel.
Best way? Try it himself.
"Firing up the capsule."
Seemed legit anyway.
Most comments questioned it, but a Trravel video was right there.
And started streaming.
[Streaming started.]
Not many viewers.
Dozens at peak, one at low.
Not his day job.
He was a student.
The kind who barely got capsule access by acing exams.
Thought he lacked the skills or talent for proper streaming.
Why stream outta nowhere?
Fr
Just grow up kid, get tall first
Break time?
Talent show on
Group chat regulars like Nangong Se and PennyPincher showed up.
Plus rankers and forum vets.
All chilling post-battlefield, popping in when his stream lit up.
"Dunno what break you're on about."
Some RPG's endgame was village hopping, right?
Veterans' habits overlapped.
Nothing left in-game, but they wouldn't log off.
So they streamed for fun.
Samjangno as streamer, others as watchers.
You know damn well—break and you're hyped
This is why you hide your identity ㅋㅋ
Samjangno avatar's stern elder but IRL chubby cheeks...
Not adult age so blood color censored ㅋㅋ
"Begone! This elder switched age mode to spare the sight of base blood on lowly scum. Cease spreading baseless rumors of this elder being middle-school."
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
RP on point
Orthodox ranker bros, battlefield tomorrow—where we hitting?
No intel leaks
Ehe, dodging benefits both~
You're defending anyway ㅋㅋ
Less a stream, more community extension.
Climbing Demonic Cult steps, Samjangno looped the Grandmaster clip.
Some bros started paying attention.
Whatcha watching?
Why climb Demonic Cult mountain?
Huh? Why's a crowd there?
Usually ant-free, now packed.
All staring into space—Samjangno included.
No reply means sulking?
Yo, sulking?
Sulking ㅋㅋ
Cute af
Demonic Cult exam vid? Right?
"Hm."
Clip done, Samjangno hummed.
Glanced at chat.
"Nah, not sulking. No-Hyup says a Grandmaster—above Super Peak—popped in Demonic Cult exam. Bros."
With standard forms, no less.
That shocked him more.
Standard forms topped at Peak before—now higher via tweaks.
?? Grandmaster wut
Bull ㅋㅋㅋ
Check No-Hyup rn. Just did—looks real?
Isn't that Seo-jun? The streamer I mentioned
Ah.
That streamer.
"Kinda figured the standard form tweak. Unlimited tries, so I'll give it a shot."
He stepped onto the arena.
Others still verifying the clip.
"Heh."
Here, ranker talent shone over casuals.
Confident, he drew sword on arena and demoed.
Narrowed footwork, angled blade for sharper edge.
Every sword stroke flowed into unity.
He was sure.
At least Peak.
He'd gotten it before.
Result!
"Tch tch. No basics, no form-crafting skill. Third-rate! Scram!"
Samjangno's eyes—with Peak title by his nick—shook wildly at the roar.
"Pfft."
Onlookers covered mouths, but laughs leaked.
"Ah, shit."
Face burning, wanted to kill stream and bolt.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What was that
Not even third-rate no matter how bad ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Hand back Peak title
Grandmaster try time?
To Demonic Cult for exam
X Exam / O Bully cute mid-schooler
And.
Famous Super Peak rankers mobilized to verify the truth.
