[The Eater of Worlds NG+10, No-Hit Barehanded Clear (Darkest Light Mod)]

[Video]

With this, the Brightest Darkness 4 Darkest Light Mod all-boss no-hit barehanded clear run was over.

Everything else was fine, but the most fucking annoying part was not having a parry, so I had to dodge each and every attack by rolling.

If you have any questions, leave a comment.

[Comments]

How the fuck is this possible?

I can’t even follow it with my eyes, yet there’s someone who can clear this?

Is he fucking crazy? LOL

How many hours did you spend playing? Around 10,000 hours?

ㄴ I just checked.

ㄴ 30,171 hours

ㄴ I thought he was human, but he turned out to be a fucking beast.

ㄴ The world has improved. Even beasts can speak like humans now.

ㄴ Wait, the game’s been out for only 10 years, and you spent 30,000 hours on it? RIP life?

ㄴ This is life. Where else would you find life?

ㄴ??????

Vanilla no-hit barehanded clear is already fucking hard, but Darkest Light Mod no-hit barehanded is fucking LOL.

ㄴ You can just watch closely and dodge, why can’t you do that?

ㄴ Fuck off, you fucking bastard.

As I straightened my back and stretched, a groan escaped from my mouth. Even after that, the comment notifications showed no signs of disappearing, but I ignored them all.

I picked up my phone from the desk and threw myself onto the bed. My head sank deep into the blanket. Ignoring the comment notifications piling up in real-time on the status bar, I browsed through the overseas Brightest Darkness communities.

‘Am I the first one to clear Darkest Light Mod no-hit barehanded?’

The game I just uploaded a video of, “The Brightest Darkness 4,” commonly known as “Brightest Darkness 4,” was celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Thanks to its notoriously difficult gameplay that could be positively described as stimulating the spirit of challenge, or negatively described as fucking insane, it had a massive fanbase worldwide, and the 4th installment, in particular, achieved tremendous success.

As a result, the community was full of all sorts of hardcore players. To the point where they wouldn’t even consider your feats unless you cleared the game blindfolded or with your feet. You had to be at that level to be acknowledged.

It was only natural since the original game was already known for its difficulty and insanity, and these guys had been playing it for 10 years straight.

However, “The Darkest Light” Mod, also known as the “Darkest Light Mod,” was fundamentally different.

It was the ultimate enemy enhancement Mod that refined and integrated hundreds of randomly scattered enemy enhancement mods into a more polished and unified version.

Since the target audience was hardcore players who had nothing else to do in the game and engaged in all sorts of crazy feats, its brutality was beyond imagination.

It came out when I had around 10,000 hours of playtime, and I got my ass kicked helplessly by the first boss in the tutorial area, unable to do anything.

There were so many patterns that made you think, ‘Did they make this to be cleared?’ Especially the various instakills, ground attacks, and wide-area attacks that seemed to scream, “If you don’t know, you die,” which made me curse for a long time.

As I struggled through the game and reached the level of achieving the highest cycle no-hit barehanded clear, my playtime had somehow exceeded 30,000 hours.

“Now what do I do?”

As the sense of achievement faded, a sudden feeling of emptiness washed over me. Having achieved what I had set as my life goal for several years, it felt like I had lost my way forward.

‘I really wonder when Brightest Darkness 5 will be released.’

If there had been any information about the release of the 5th installment, I could have at least used that to fuel my happiness circuit.

The first game in the series came out 19 years ago, the second 17 years ago, the third 15 years ago, and the fourth 10 years ago. Yet, there had been absolutely no news about the 5th installment since then.

Four years after its release, they showed a single trailer with the Brightest Darkness 5 logo, and then another six years passed. The fans of the series were on the verge of losing their minds, and I was one of them.

Thinking that I should sleep on it for now, I was about to turn off my phone when I heard a different kind of notification than before.

Wondering what it was, I pulled down the status bar and saw an email prominently displayed above the numerous comment notifications.

“What’s this?”

The preview showed lines of English text. It was an email from overseas. As soon as I saw it, I frowned, thinking it might be spam.

I took a quick glance at the content, and it started with something about us doing this and that, so I was about to mark it as spam. But then I noticed a specific word and stopped.

I immediately tapped on the email and read it carefully from the beginning.

“The Brightest Darkness 5… CBT?”

In summary, the email said this: They were recruiting participants for the Closed Beta Test (CBT) of Brightest Darkness 5, and they asked if I was interested in participating. If so, they asked me to click on the attached link.

“What?!”

I sat up with a jolt, almost involuntarily. Brightest Darkness 5? For real? Without thinking twice, I was about to click on the link, following my instincts, but I managed to stop myself at the last moment, holding onto my sanity.

My frozen finger trembled in the air.

“…No, it could be a lie.”

That’s right, there was no guarantee that this wasn’t a spam email. I could end up getting scammed if I clicked on the link without thinking.

Calming my mind, I tapped on my smartphone’s keyboard with shaky hands to mobilize the collective intelligence.

[Hey, I received an email from the Brightest Darkness developer. What is this?]

I just got an email inviting me to the CBT for Brightest Darkness 5’s release. But I don’t know if it’s a scam or real.

[Comments]

Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5? Brightest Darkness 5?

Of course it’s bullshit. All they’ve released so far is a 15-second trailer, and now they’re talking about CBT? LOL

It’s obviously a lie. Just delete it and block them.

If you’re gonna believe that, can you also guarantee it for me?

? No, that’s really the official email from the developer, you idiots.

Check the link. That’s the official email address.

ㄴ It’s real, fuck. It’s legit.

ㄴ That’s the official email? Brightest Darkness 5 is finally coming out?

It’s really official.

ㄴ But who is this guy to receive a CBT invitation?

ㄴ No idea.

“Is it really from the official Brightest Darkness developer?”

Doubting it, I cross-checked the email address, and it indeed matched the company that developed the Brightest Darkness series.

Thinking they might be using uppercase and lowercase letters to trick me, I even turned on my computer and carefully checked each letter one by one, but it was truly the official email.

‘If it’s official, I should apply first and think later. I have nothing to lose. I absolutely have to go, for real.’

With my excitement reaching its peak, I clicked on the link.

And I was sucked right into the monitor.
