━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━
While Jack and Moon Moon were struggling with the new Undead Chickens, a certain streamer was about to release an incredible bomb upon the world.
"Hehe, from this point onward, everyone will know the Mighty Infinite Pancakes channel!" He half-chuckled half coughed his lungs out.
His latest work had taken him so much effort!
The madman known as Jack'O had sent him all his freaking dungeon highlights all at once. It had been a colossal task to edit all of it!
Sure, there were only three dungeons, but each had three difficulties! Plus, the guy had farmed it over and over. Finding the pertinent footage amidst this mess was a nightmare!
All around him lied Monstrous Energy Cans: the kind that was so powerful it gave wings AND claws! (not literally) The poor guy was so tired he looked undead and now adorned an eerie grin.
It was time to release it all!
While he had been working, many top-notch gamers had actually released a few videos of themselves clearing a few dungeons on Normal. But so what?
He addressed the issue in a cheeky video on his homepage.
"Hello everyone! I'm the Mighty Infinite Pancakes! Sorry for the delay since the last posting. You've guessed it, hot sexy ninja babes have been ambushing me nonstop!!!" He declared with a straight face. As if!
"Now, I'm aware that some peeps out there have published dungeon clears. I'd like to congratulate them all on clearing NORMAL!" He clapped eagerly, stressing the difficulty.
"Good for them, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the one and only Demon King of Infinite! For this instance, I'd like to quote a wise man." He adopted a solemn look as he gazed at the horizon.
"Dear followers, look at these pro-gamers tackling the dungeons in teams! Look what they need to mimic a fraction of the Demon King's power! Eyyaaa." He exaggeratedly sighed, looking so damn comical.
"Now, let's have some fun, shall we. I suggest you grab some food, drinks, and a large piss bottle. You ain't gonna want to look away from your screen! Muahahaha!"
A few minutes after that ridiculous yet provocative statement, video montages began to appear on his channel.
The first one was a reaction video.
< New Infinite Challenge! Try Not to Sleep! >
Pancakes had compiled highlights from other players on the Internet. The entire video was him dozing off while it played! Towards the end, he just went:
"Bummer…it seems that I've failed this stay awake challenge. I shouldn't have watched the Demon King's highlights beforehand. It made me lose interest in the regular ones." He sighed exaggeratedly.
Of course, there was lots of hate:
– ILoveLamas: Bullshit! That's freaking slander! Screw that Demon King guy!!
– SmallOneMillionLoan: He's just trying to rile us up! Still, it's working. My Mighty Infinite Fist is really itching right now!
– Lightbringer#23Fan: Screw you! Normal Clear is boring? So what if they did it in a team? They completed it faster than that useless Demon King!
– ScrewEdgyTeenagers: Pfft— a man that calls himself the Demon King is so great? Please, there are already people leaving the Tutorial. I've heard that he's still stuck in it!
– DemFools: That's because the village chief schemed against him to steal his faction!!! If it weren't for the Royal Messenger bird, he'd be out already!!
– DoYouEvenLiftBrah?: A NPC scheming against a player? How dumb do you think we are? No way that could have happened! You're the one that's a damn fool if you think we'll believe such a lie!
Many watched with interest, but all were ready to roast Pancakes for his exaggerated claims. There was no way that the Demon King could be THAT impressive compared to the other players.
But the more videos he kept releasing, the more shocked they would become:
<The Demon King of Infinite is Still Soloing!!!!>
It was one thing to solo Normal, but he was even doing it at the Hard difficulty?!
How OP was he? The guy was a literal one-man army— along with his cute wolf. Seriously how could a wolf be that cute?!
But it didn't just stop at Hard:
<Hellish Fox Grove?! Demon King VS A Freaking Army?!>
The viewers gasped in astonishment. Why was the dungeon so challenging all of a sudden?! Then it finally reached the point with the Fox Boss spawning countless clones.
Was there anything more exciting than the duo facing an endless fox legion, raining fire unto them! (With epic music obviously)
Wait, since when could the Demon King use magic?! They felt like they had missed something! He was still using a shield and tanking everything like a boss but also raining destruction while cackling.
"Eiiiyaa. How pitiful these foxes are. They really thought that an army would be enough to take down the Demon King?! How ridiculous!!" Pancakes commented.
The viewers could only gulp. If an army wasn't enough, what the hell would it take?! Did he even have a weakness at all?!
Melee range —> Shield Bash in the face and Cluckinator in the stomach!
Long Range —> Fire!!! So much freaking fire!
They already were going pale, but then what followed was even worse:
<Hellish Wolf Den!! Moon Moon = Most OP Infinite Pet?!>
"As everyone knows, the Demon King is an amazing leader. Even the NPC of Infinite realized his magnificence!" Pancakes chuckled.
The villagers were at the Demon King's beck and call?! Jack'O was just going around lazily ordering his new minions to hunt the wolves. It was a stark contrast to the usual strategy!
Carefully progress? Avoid the wolves? Nope! He was bulldozing through!
He looked like he was on a goddamn vacation: there was even a relaxing tune playing! How?! Everyone remembered how much the pro-gamers had been struggling there!
"Lording over villager is cool, but the real star here is the Legendary Wolf Moon Moon! Look at how mighty it is!!" Pancakes praised.
Moon Moon was soon shown battling one of the two twin bosses…alone?! Even the players couldn't manage that, and a pet was succeeding?! How insane! All this time "look at my wolf, my wolf is amazing" played in the background.
A few observant people realized that it had drunk the Boss's milk. Even then, it was still awe-inspiring! ( -_- But it also led to tons of "Big Wolf Mommy Milkers" comments…)
Except Moon Moon's adventures didn't end there. It was shown straight at the beginning of the following video.
<Crazy Infinite Chicken Challenges?! Can you survive even one?!>
A wolf doing Parkour?!
It had a resolute look in its eyes as it jumped from platforms to platforms, with its master in tow. This made many viewers almost die from the cuteness! They wanted a wolf to teach it tricks too!
Then there were the Wack-A-Chicken, dodging and puzzle challenges. They had seen pro-gamers struggle to no end with these ones. Jack was casually breezing through them as if an afterthought.
The video was clearly edited. Pancakes had added sound effects to every chicken hit or feather dodge and even added the sound of a clock ticking to the last one.
Many clamored to see the unedited footage! There was no way that he could succeed that easily!
They were in luck….or not. The ending was a complete Hellish run done in a few minutes—no cut, no editing, 100% awesomeness!
The ones calling that it was fake had to shut up. He truly was clearing it THAT fast!
"Don't worry you all. I'm sure that if you practice diligently for a few thousand years, you'll reach his level too." He "reassured" the despairing spectators.
There was one more video for them to watch:
<Infinite: Demon King Slaughtering a Phoenix?! Can anyone stop him?!>
This was content that no one else had, not even a cheap copy. After all, the boss only appeared in the Hellish version.
As they saw the overbearing flaming heart, many held their breath in trepidation. Then when it began to rain fire, they found themselves sweating with Jack'O.
He was inside a goddamn inferno!! How many times did they think he would get obliterated by the flames?! But every time, the two partners somehow endured.
Even as the wolf whimpered from the burns, it kept fighting! Their hearts felt like they were about to shatter as they witnessed the poor wolf scalded by the heat.
Many even found themselves shouting at their screen: "Go on Moon Moon, dodge! You can do it!!" and cheering when it survived.
Then there was the freaking homing missiles, the sneak-attacks from the chickens, and everything else happening.
Every time, Jack would somehow handle it. Then it all became more and more intense all until the finish!
They had to do Parkour while evading so many attacks!! Was this even humanly possible?! They were convinced that it wasn't!
"This right here is why I said that any other Infinite highlights are boring." Pancakes truthfully declared.
All the viewers unconsciously agreed. No longer did they think the earlier statement arrogant. Then it was time for the finish.
Jack had to fucking cross a sea of fire to reach the boss! They felt Moon Moon's worry for its master and were stunned as the man gave back a confident smile.
Even now, he didn't feel any fear?! He was confronting the hellfire as if it was a casual summer picnic!
Then he somehow went through the fire. They watched it from start to finish and felt it was so goddamn magical!
They realized that he was evading the projectiles— but he made it look so easy that it felt like the fire was avoiding him instead!
Then when he finally slashed his Cluckinator at the heart, they all cheered. This was karma for burning the poor Moon Moon! It was heart attack time for that bully heart!
They celebrated, and they shared the video with all their friends ASAP!
"Bro, watch this! The Demon King is insane, and Moon Moon is the best!! Some typing these lines had previously been haters, but they had all forgotten about it.
Many kept tagging the Mighty Infinite Pancakes to request more videos.
"This will be all for now, friends. I'll see you all soon, peace out!" That was all he replied.
He crashed on his tiny bed with a large smile. He held his cellphone, watching his follower count explode. It was already over 100k! This was so freaking great!
But amidst his excitement, his body kept reminding him that he needed to sleep. He succumbed to slumber, his dreams filled with a small but valiant wolf and an amazing Demon King.
The Demon King's fans could only watch and rewatch the same few videos, sometimes watching in slow-motion. But even when changing the speed, they remained so damn entertaining!
Many regretted not having spawned in New Leaf village. They could have been interacting with such a fantastic character directly!
They were already so excited about what would come next!
Some noted that there weren't any other Dungeons in the Tutorial, but then some news came from New Leaf.
There was a new dungeon?! What?! Why was it only in New Leaf?! Many thought it was only a rumor, but all agreed they wanted the Demon King to crush it if real!
People were even saying that it was a Necromancy Dungeon, spooky! Little did they know, Jack and Moon Moon were still struggling inside it at that very moment…
