The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 241
77. The Aftermath (1)
Cheese Village was completely rebuilt, inheriting its power anew after the fall of Treeby City.
As if the days of heavy snowfall had never existed, the sky was clear.
The stars had already set, and dawn was breaking little by little.
‘Is it over?’
It seemed to be the case.
The Cheese Village content had ended today.
“Waaaaaaaaaah!!”
Boom~!
Fireworks for the closing celebration shot into the air once more.
People stood before the completely revived Cheese Village and took commemorative photos.
The staff took the photos themselves.
“Alright, everyone gather! It’s Cheddar! Come together for a commemorative photo each~! Here we go~!”
“Wow. It’s the CEO.”
“The CEO himself…!”
Hahaha the CEO took a photo hahaha
-Lol
Ugh, it’s really over ㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow, Cheese Village ㅠㅠ It really seems to be over ㅠ
Now that the CEO had appeared and taken photos, the viewers finally felt that it was truly over.
Over the past two weeks, thanks to the streamers who participated as if another world truly existed, even these viewers had become quite immersed.
I’m looking forward to the awards ceremony haha
This is finally over ㅠㅠ
-It was so much fun!
There were many who regretted it on Almond’s channel as well.
And closing donations poured in.
Boom~!
[Rubisword donated a whopping 1,000,000 won!]
[Out of all the content I’ve watched, this had the best participation, and I loved seeing Almond looking so happy. Thank you so much for your hard work!]
Oh my god, that’s crazy
-1 million won, crazy
-Wow
-Doesn’t the size keep growing?
-The donation chain ended now
and lol
I’m crying / Wahhhhh
Ruby, no! ㅠㅠㅠ
-Lol
“…I’m always grateful. Rubisword.”
While Almond was answering.
Cheddar shouted.
“Alright, everyone look here! You there with the big head!”
“They’re all big though!?”
Wa-ha-ha-ha.
Boisterous laughter echoed through the space.
“Balloon Gum has the biggest head~!”
“Right. If anything, I got smaller coming here!”
“Gichan! Why aren’t you taking pictures! Huh? Don’t pull that Jjin concept again!”
Commotion erupted from multiple directions.
Clap, clap.
Cheddar drew everyone’s attention again and shouted.
“Alright everyone, focus here! Say it! Cheeeeese!”
“Cheeeeese!”
Without proper organization, countless avatars struck poses simultaneously.
Click!
Some came running and stumbled, others were laughing strangely.
Someone was looking backward.
In this chaotic photograph.
-Ch~z~
-Ch~z!
-Cheeeeese
Take care, cheese village ㅠㅠㅠ
Almond beamed with a wide smile.
“Cheeeeese!”
[Server Temporarily Closed]
[Awards Ceremony and Afterparty will take place in 24 hours. Please return then!]
Ping.
The server had ended.
Everything turned white and faded away, and the main title screen appeared.
[Survival Craft]
[Find Server]
The bustling laughter, my colleagues’ beaming faces, the ridiculous dragon flying through the sky, Gobong and Danbong taking care of Daegam, my friends from the Knight Order, the Agricultural Cooperative folks who seemed unfriendly at first, the Rocket Squad friends who turned out not to be bad people….
“…Ah.”
It had all disappeared now.
That’s what it meant for Cheese Village to end.
The world I’d built over two weeks was now as if it never existed.
That time which felt eternal turned out to be but a fleeting moment.
Now it would be recorded as part of the lantern show I saw at the very end.
Under the name of memories.
-Wow
-?? It bounced back?
-It’s over…
lol
There’s an after-party, so let’s see each other then ㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow…
Inside the black capsule, Sanghyeon’s blinking eyes reflected the light.
‘It’s finally over.’
I closed my eyes for a moment.
The memories of Cheese Village still vividly flashed through my mind.
“It feels a bit hollow somehow.”
Hahaha
T_T
-Right
Is Amond Daegam really gone now? ㅠㅠ
I’m crying / Boo hoo / Wah wah wah
-It’s the end…
Cheese Village, where I did everything I wanted and lived as I desired.
It was a happy time.
But now it was time to say goodbye.
“It’s all over now. That’s where we’ll end today’s broadcast.”
T_T
-You worked hard!
That was awesome haha
-Almond, take care~
I’m crying so hard.
-Ah…
“See you next time.”
After leaving my final farewell for today,
I turned off the broadcast.

* * *
Stepping out of the capsule, I found it was already dawn.
The sun was slowly rising on the horizon.
After spending so much time inside the capsule, my lower back felt stiff and sore.
I stretched and pulled back the curtains that had been drawn across my room.
The morning sunlight of the breaking dawn seeped into the room.
“…Phew!”
I stretched, feeling somehow both relieved and unsatisfied.
“Is it over?”
Juhyeok entered, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
“Ah… yeah. You still haven’t slept?”
“I got some sleep. Congratulations. You finished well.”
“Yeah. Though it’s not completely over yet. There’s still an after-party coming up.”
“Right. But the content is finished, isn’t it?”
“I guess….”
I scratched my head, feeling oddly dissatisfied.
It felt like I was forgetting something.
I thought I’d done everything and finished.
Yet something lingered, an unresolved knot.
What could it be?
“Should we grill some fish again today.”
At Juhyeok’s casual remark as he turned away.
‘Ah.’
I suddenly realized.
“Fishing!!”
“…?”
Juhyeok spun around, startled by my sudden outburst.
“What are you talking about. All of a sudden. Fishing?”
I grabbed Juhyeok and shook him as if it were a grave matter.
“Fishing! I didn’t go fishing!”
“….”
Juhyeok looked down at me with disbelief in his eyes.
‘Is he serious.’
After defeating the Mang-sa-yong-ryong in Cheese Village and receiving all that attention and interest, he still hadn’t abandoned his fishing dream.
“What do I do? Damn it. I forgot something so important. I didn’t expect it to end so quickly.”
This was typical for integrated streamer servers like this.
They shut down relatively without warning, suddenly.
Server maintenance costs money too.
Everything proceeds as efficiently as possible.
“Just get some sleep.”
I can understand why Sanghyeon keeps muttering about fishing.
But he really overdid it.
He’ll probably get another chance to fish during the after-party anyway.
“…Ah, yeah.”
Sleep.
I need to sleep.
Sanghyeon stumbled toward the bed as if suddenly remembering he had to.
‘Man, I’m so tired.’
Thud.
He buried his overheated head into the pillow first, closing his eyes.
His entire body warmed as if melting into the bed, and sleep claimed him.
In that night’s dream, Sanghyeon became Almond once more.
He soared through the sky alongside the dragon.
There, he fished with his Knight Order companions.
Fishing from the clouds, he caught no fish at all.
Yet strangely, the back of Triana the Saint’s neck got caught on his fishing hook and was pulled up.
Then Mosol came up, and Balloon Gum came up too.
Danbong cheered, saying “That’s a prize catch~!”
Sanghyeon felt nothing odd about it whatsoever.
“Cloud fishing… it’s fun….”
He simply muttered these strange words in his sleep.

* * *
The next day.
Sanghyeon’s phone displayed seven missed calls.
Upon seeing who had called, Sanghyeon squeezed his eyes shut.
[Hana Song, Doctor]
It was Dr. Song.
She must have checked his broadcast schedule.
Even for a game with minimal combat, twenty-four hours of continuous play was excessive.
It wouldn’t have been strange to classify it as a national-level tournament difficulty.
‘For now… I should wait.’
Sanghyeon’s judgment was that he needed to let her anger cool before responding.
He got up, washed himself hastily, and glanced around the apartment.
‘Where did Juhyeok go?’
Juhyeok was nowhere to be seen.
It didn’t matter.
He wasn’t going live right now anyway.
‘Let me check the reactions.’
He could rest while reviewing the response to Cheese Village’s conclusion.
Sanghyeon brought himself a cup of coffee and sat down.
First, he headed to the news section of the most major portal site.
[Real-time Viewership Surpasses 2.7 Million: “Cheese Village” Concludes Successfully. Afterparty Still Ongoing]
The viewership numbers from this content—created as promotional material for the Cheese platform—were staggering.
The news comments section was bustling with activity.
-A newly launched platform, you say? Impressive.
-Wow lololol This is huge
Cheese Village was so fun ㅠㅠㅠ Please do it again!!
-Now we just wait for the Nolchi Village video lol
Those who knew of Cheese Village yearned for it, while those unfamiliar marveled at its scale.
Almond smiled contentedly.
He was pleased to have played a starring role in such a spectacular event.
Among the news articles that followed, there was something remarkable.
[Treeby CEO: “Truly moving…” Grateful to Cheese, “Donating All Proceeds”]
Treeby would be donating all the revenue earned from this event.
The donation was made to a children’s foundation under the names of the streamers who participated in Cheese Village.
Remarkably, this donor list appeared in the news photo.
It was written in order of donation amount, apparently.
Sanghyeon wasn’t one to read news articles carefully, so he simply scrolled down to check the comment reactions.
‘So something like this happened.’
The story wasn’t particularly complex—just a heartwarming tale of Treeby being moved.
He thought that was the end of it.
‘Huh?’
-Almond’s insane
-Does Almond even donate well now!? Stop being so handsome! Stop the deductions!
For a moment, I thought the messages were coming to my own broadcast chat.
Why on earth was Treeby making donations under the names of Streamers
while calling out Sang-hyun Yu?
-Almond’s donation ranking 2nd, what’s going on lol
└Right lol the difference from Jello isn’t that big lol
└If Jello hadn’t done that monster summoning bombardment at the end, he’d be first lol
└Almond honestly fought too well so he didn’t get many donations. Check Balloon Gum’s donations. He got a ton because people thought he’d die
└That’s too much, you crazy bird lol
-Wow Jello then Almond, what’s going on lol
-Daaaaaegam
-This too must be the Daegam’s grace, yes?
‘Huh? Donation ranking?’
I was startled.
I never imagined the donation list photo would include the ranking.
I scrolled back up to check the photo again.
==== ====
Jello
Almond
Cutie Pie
Balloon Gum
Miho
Ppulranem

Almond’s name was second.
Among all those countless Streamers, Almond certainly stood out most brilliantly.
But how much in donations was a different story.
Especially since he practically stood shoulder to shoulder with Jello, who was considered an insurmountable mountain.
And he surpassed Cutie Pie, who, as an idol-turned-Streamer, occupied the highest tier.
Moreover, the revenue Treeby earned from this donation rush was donated to a children’s foundation.
‘Incredible.’
There could be no more meaningful achievement as a Streamer than this.
Though I didn’t catch the fish, these past two weeks of dedicated activity in Cheese Village had been worthwhile.
Zing.
Then a message came through on my phone.
[Juhyeok: I’m out organizing the office right now. You need to log into the afterparty today, right? You know that. It’ll be soon.]
The afterparty time was drawing near.
Now, as a final matter, I would log into Cheese Village to hold the awards ceremony and share farewells with those who had been my colleagues all this time.
Zing.
[Juhyeok: And they say there will be talk about today’s inter-platform competition. Make sure you don’t miss it and participate!]
Above all, now came the inter-platform competition.
It was such a massive event that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Cheese Village had planned this entire occasion for this very spectacle.
