The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 240
76. Finale (3)
Tribby’s history was being replayed across the sky.
Those who hadn’t entered Tribby’s city and solved the puzzles would be seeing this footage for the first time.
“…Wow.”
“Whoa. T… This is from Tribby’s era?”
Some only realized later that this was footage from Tribby’s time.
“It was Tribby?”
They’d simply thought it was old footage, but thinking about it, their past was the Tribby era.
-Whoa
-Damn
-What kind of content is this
-Tribby’s final moment like this
“…Sigh.”
“Damn it.”
Not just the residents of Cheese Village, but those from Paprika Village also couldn’t hide their emotions watching Tribby’s footage.
“That’s the puzzle we solved, right?”
“Wow… So this is how it unfolds.”
Those who had solved the puzzles themselves felt a sense of accomplishment, and some streamers who were seeing their own beginning again after so long shed tears.
The brilliant stage lights and flower petals of the concert gradually began to fade.
“Oh? Snow.”
White snow began falling over Cheese Village.

* * *
Beneath a starlit sky, snow cascades down in torrents.
Images flicker through the falling snow.
Within them lay the beginning of everything for all of us.
‘No matter how many times I watch it… I still can’t get used to it.’
Almond felt the same way.
It didn’t seem like ancient history, yet the footage playing before us felt impossibly distant.
[Bow… you don’t like it?]
Almond when he first started Kingdom Age.
The beginning of a legend lol
-King~ dom!
-Kyaa
This is so sad ㅠㅠ
-Now it’s coming out in the right order lol
Thanks to the notorious reputation bows held in Kingdom Age, Almond had actually become famous.
He streamed for the first time and happened to gain recognition, got mentioned by people… those were the days when his heart raced every single day.
‘Back then too….’
Quiet.
White snowflakes fell across Almond’s large eyes.
It had been winter back then too.
It was the first anniversary of his Grandmother’s passing.
It was when he suddenly received a request to leave the company.
What if he hadn’t had the courage to turn on that broadcast?
His life would have been completely different from what it is now.
All these people here wouldn’t have known him at all, and he wouldn’t have been called Almond the Great or acted like royalty, or won the championship with 200 fake national representatives, or experienced all those cheers, applause, and tears… none of it would have existed without that moment.
“Wahahahaha!”
“It’s Almond. Wow, Almond’s footage is so recent.”
“He was so pure back then… how did he end up becoming the villainous Almond the Great….”
Hahahahaha, those pure days back then
Look at those eyes ㅠㅠ
-wow so handsome lol
-why did he look better back then
-the capsule quality is so bad lol
Almond’s younger(?) days when he was an absolute ruler called Almond the Great in Cheese Village.
Some of the villagers burst into laughter at the stark contrast.
But Almond simply stared blankly at his former self.
He remembered what he was thinking back then.
‘I’m doing this right, aren’t I?’
After all, he was only human, so it wasn’t as though he had no worries.
He had been laid off from a major corporation and had returned to being unemployed.
I turned on the broadcast without much of a plan.
But anxiety lingered in a corner of my heart.
It was clearly visible to me now, looking back at Sanghyeon.
That anxiety woven into even that video.
Eyes trembling slightly as I read the chat.
My expression brightening each time a viewer entered.
I knew it was really just an expression of my anxious heart.
There was something I wanted to tell my past self.
‘You did well.’
You did well.
Even if you seemed crazy, even if you were foolish and clumsy.
It was a very good decision.
Perhaps other streamers were having similar thoughts watching their past selves? That’s what Sanghyeon thought.
It was quiet.
The accumulating snow gently covered the noise.
In this white silence, everyone was watching the past footage.
The atmosphere was solemn, like a final prayer service.
That was when it happened.
A song began without any accompaniment.
〔In the days when I loved—〕
A voice spreading through the falling snow.
It felt as though only Cutie Pie’s voice existed in this space, without any other sound.
A resonance ringing out slowly with perfect pitch.
〔I never knew such a parting would come〕
Everyone’s gaze turned back to the stage once more.
Standing before the screen where Tribby’s videos played, she held the microphone tightly with both hands clasped as if in prayer.
She sang each syllable with all her strength.
〔If the final moment arrives〕
Still without accompaniment, without any sound, only the pure melody spread out.
〔If we can never meet again〕
Doodung.
Instruments gradually began to layer in.
〔I made a wish while gazing at the stars〕
The residents began singing along with her.
It was quite a famous song.
〔Please hold me tight one last time〕
“Hold me tight~”
All the avatars swayed their arms left and right.
Almond swayed along as well.
As the song reached its climax, the lights shone brightly in all directions.
“When I met you, the stars shone bright, and I was born.”
I knew her lyrics were a farewell song to her girlfriend.
But perhaps everyone here heard it differently.
Everyone’s voices grew thick with emotion, and those among the residents with tears bowed their heads while swaying only their arms.
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
Damn it ㅠㅠㅠ
-Mang-sa-yong-ryong, you bastard
-Give Tribby back!
-Saint Kaiser, Knight Terror, Lady Grudge… I will remember.
I’m crying / I’m so sad
Take care, goodbye ㅠㅠ
Everyone sensed it instinctively.
[00:00:35]
That when this song ended, Tribby’s server would shut down.
That the montage of Tribby’s videos playing like a lantern of the deceased was drawing closer to the present moment.
‘It’s coming to an end.’
I felt it too.
The major events I had participated in were flowing past one by one.
[Ahhh! This tournament’s MVP is Almond!!]
[A complete royal loader, right? First participation! First championship! First finals….]
The tournament where I first participated.
[Gstar will also be with Tribby again this year.]
The Gstar that so many people had visited.
[This Civil Empire game is probably unfamiliar to most people….]
The preliminaries of the Civil Empire international tournament.
[Joseon! Joseon!! advances to the quarterfinals ahhhhh!!]
Advancing to the quarterfinals of the main tournament.
[Monster!]
[Roaaaaaaaar!]
And the Joseon team’s miraculous championship.
After that, a few more events flowed past.
[Hello… I am the CEO of Tribby headquarters….]
The live broadcast announcement of Tribby server shutdown.
I’m crying / Boo hoo / Wahhh
It won’t work ㅠㅠ
-What
I’m crying so hard / Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Damn it ㅠㅠㅠ
There was nothing left to play.
The long lantern of the deceased had ended.
[Even if all the stars lost their light]
The song followed the same fate.
The accompaniment faded, and the bright lights gradually dissolved into darkness.
[I will remain alone on this planet]
With the final lyrics, all the lights went completely out.
Plunk.
[00:00:00]
A profound darkness descended.
Not a single light remained in Tribby’s city.
The floating city began to plummet.
The Patisserie Members who had been singing vanished somewhere.
-What
I’m crying / I’m so sad
-Ah…
T_T
-It’s falling
The falling city collided with the ground and was completely obliterated.
It vanished without a trace in a massive explosion.
[Service Ended]
All the Viewers watching through Tribby disappeared as well.
-Gasp
lol
-Stream crashed
I’m crying so much.
-It’s over
-Ah….
.
.
.
“What.”
The Residents were at a loss for words.
They had expected it, but it disappeared so anticlimactically.
No matter how much they had anticipated and prepared, nothing could have filled this sense of emptiness.
Some Residents collapsed and wept openly.
“….”
Almond stared blankly at the space where Tribby had vanished.
‘It’s over.’
Whooom!
That was when it happened.
A violet orb rose from the ruins of the destroyed Tribby city.
“Huh? That is….”
Those who had completed the main scenario Quest knew.
That orb was the true source of Tribby.
Whoooosh!
The orb flew toward the villagers.
And it hovered above one particular resident’s head.
“Almond?”
“Gasp. Almond….”
“Y-yes, truly the Daegam!”
“This too must be the Daegam’s grace….”
Out of all those residents, it had to be above Almond’s head.
One might wonder how such a thing could happen, but the residents, already long accustomed to the Daegam’s authority, simply accepted this too as the Daegam’s grace.
But the truth was different.
Tribby had not been drawn to the Daegam.
It had been drawn to Triana, who was perched atop his head.
She rose from his head and slowly extended her hand.
Crack!
In that instant, tremendous noise erupted across the entire server.
Tribby’s violet light vanished completely, and all magic was dispelled.
Almond, Jello, Orange, and Mosol, who had grown in size, returned to their original proportions.
All the summoned monsters also dissipated into smoke and disappeared.
Triana’s entire body glowed brilliantly, then flashed with an explosive burst of light.
Crackle!
‘Huh?’
Triana’s body had returned to its original proportions.
The beautiful Sealed Saint form that Orange had first discovered.
A being that could not exist in Seok.
All the residents stared at her.
“My role here ends now.”
Triana held out the Tribby orb before her.
“This orb has lost all its light now… but it was not always so. Once, it shone brilliantly. The mere fact that it once shone brilliantly means that perhaps it still possesses that power even now.”
She spoke words of uncertain meaning.
Then she closed her eyes.
“Farewell.”
“!”
Crack!
In that instant, at the crackling noise, Almond’s eyes flashed open.
‘Huh.’
A strange afterimage appeared.
Creating an avatar close to photorealism in Seok didn’t align with optimization.
The graphics glitch sometimes.
That’s what just happened.
As Triana’s graphics corrupted, I glimpsed someone else entirely.
Long black hair and eyes that gleamed with an alluring depth.
But it was nothing more than a fleeting instant.
Sseung!
She vanished from this world.
In the space where she disappeared, only Tribby’s orb floated alone.
I stared blankly at the empty space where she had been.
What was that?
This sense of déjà vu.
“…D-Daegam. What are we supposed to do with that orb?”
Gobong approached and asked.
He believed Triana had given the orb to me.
It wasn’t true, but from a distance, it certainly looked that way.
Gobong wasn’t the only one thinking this.
“That’s right. Cheese Village is completely destroyed now. Shouldn’t we use that to rebuild it?”
Tribby’s orb contained enough energy to have created Tribby City itself.
Reconstructing Cheese Village would be a trivial matter.
The problem was that it showed no light whatsoever right now.
I found myself reluctantly grasping the orb in my hand.
“It has no power right now….”
“That’s the issue.”
“But you said it had power in the past.”
“That’s true. But… the past?”
“The mere fact that it once shone brilliantly means perhaps that power still exists in the present.”
“?”
What did that even mean?
It had power in the past.
Everyone knows that.
But just because of that, it has power now?
That’s when it happened.
“Me…!”
Someone raised their hand and came running over.
It was Orange.
“Haven’t I never used my treasure tool even once?”
-For real?
Haha, no way haha
Hahahaha
Why did you give it to me lol
Orange hadn’t spoken without reason.
“My treasure’s name is the ‘Mirror of Reminiscence.'”
“!”
Whoosh.
Watching Orange produce the mirror, I understood.
“There was light in the past. That alone becomes strength.”
I brought the orb close to the mirror.
“It’s like it’s speaking of memories.”
-Gasp
-Creepy
-?
-Whoa
-Is that so?
-Oh
-That makes sense?
I wasn’t entirely pleased that Orange happened to be holding that particular mirror.
Click.
But I couldn’t resist this.
I brought the orb to the mirror and asked.
“Tribby?”
Uuuuuung!
As Tribby’s orb reflected in the mirror, the orb within the mirror began to glow.
With a pure golden radiance.
It wasn’t power trapped within the mirror.
Whoooooosh!
The golden power burst free from the mirror and spread in all directions.
The crumbled Cheese Village began to restore itself piece by piece.
The towering fortress, the houses where countless people once lived, the statues of five knights, the beautiful verdant greenery….
Everything was reborn in golden light.
-Almondil!
-AMDL
-Almondil! Almondil! Almondil!
-Kyaa
-He pulled it off in the end
-Wow lololol
Orange’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Our eyes met.
Without hesitation, we high-fived.
Clap!
“Almondil!”
As if the Mang-sa-yong-ryong’s assault had never occurred.
Peace returned to Cheese Village once more.
