When drawing the bowstring in archery.
There were moments when that fleeting instant stretched out like an eternity.
Complete focus and immersion.
The density of consciousness rises endlessly.
The moment becomes eternity.
And ultimately transcends time itself.
Then—
*Twang.*
I release the bowstring.
“Haah.”
I exhale the breath I’d been holding.
Then I return to reality, to the present moment.
[Server Closed]
[Thank you for loving Cheese Village all this time.]
Now it’s a pristine white world.
Everything is such a brilliant white.
Letters float lonely above it all.
[Survival Craft]
Sanghyeon stared blankly at those words.
There had definitely been a world I’d built over two weeks.
Now it had all transformed into this pure white light.
There’s nothing left now.
‘I see.’
Cheese Village had ended.
Becoming Non-selected Personnel, obtaining Bioyeokto, and ruling Cheese Village—all of it.
Danbong and Gobong becoming my colleagues, receiving the title of Daegam—all of it.
Founding the Knight Order and conquering Cheese Village—all of it.
In the end, everyone joining forces to drive out Mang-sa-yong-ryong and cheering together—all of it.
Even the songs that echoed around the campfire at the very end.
Everything has vanished.
There was no going back now.
[Single Player]
[Multiplayer]
Options appeared.
I had completely exited the server.
“…It’s over.”
It felt like I’d had a very long dream.
T_T
Oh no ㅠㅠ
-It’s the end
I’m crying so hard.
Bye, take care ㅠㅠㅠ
It’s so pointless, like… ugh.
Sanghyeon closed his eyes for a long moment.
Then he raised his hand.
[Multiplayer]
His hand moved over the Multiplayer option.
It responded.
Ding.
[Enter Code]
[Code: ______]
When I first started Survival Craft, I had to enter a code.
Back then, I’d entered the code incorrectly and ended up in the wrong place.
‘But now….’
I tried entering the code once.
Had the server really disappeared?
I still couldn’t believe it.
[Code: czkt11012]
This time I entered the correct code.
[Server Not Found]
The server was gone.
“It’s really over.”
ㅠㅠㅠ (or -ㅠㅠㅠ) is a Korean emoticon representing crying or sadness.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 64]
A natural English equivalent would be:
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 66]
T_T
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 68]
or simply: crying / sad face
-And this time he got the code right!!
Damn it ㅠㅠ
-Sigh…
-I wish he’d messed up the code instead
Haha, sigh.
Sanghyeon bowed his head as he spoke.
“That’s all for today’s stream.”
-Bye bye
-See you
-Take care
-Thanks for the hard work~
-That was so much fun!
Ping.
After everything powered down.
Sanghyeon climbed out of the capsule.
Surprisingly, it was morning.
The after-party and awards ceremony had started at night, yet here we were.
Since I remained on the server until the time limit, I ended up staying until morning.
I never knew you could pull an all-nighter just by chatting with people around a campfire and singing songs.
It was Sanghyeon’s first time.
Talking with so many people for such a long time.
Whoosh.
He drew back the curtains that had been hung on his window.
Sunlight poured in.
“Ahhhhh…!”
He stretched his stiff body.
Sanghyeon laughed and shouted.
“Almond… it’s done!”
The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 001
1. Not an End, But a Beginning (1)
A city where the sun was slowly setting.
Neon signs began lighting up throughout, and bars preparing for the night grew busy.
Among them, there was a place where well-dressed people had formed a long line.
It appeared to be a line to enter a club.
Dressed as flashily as possible, they were busy glancing at each other even while waiting in line.
Those gazes, which had been scattered in all directions, suddenly converged on one spot.
“Look over there.”
“Wow.”
“So… handsome.”
Click. Click.
A man walking in a long, thin black coat.
All eyes were drawn to him.
Even from a distance, his face stood out as if he alone were in high definition.
Pale skin, a long neck, and finely sculpted features.
Of course, women’s gazes naturally fixed on him.
What was strange was that men were staring even more.
“Hey, uh. That, that person.”
Tap tap.
Whispers grew louder especially among college-aged men in their twenties.
“Huh? Is there a pretty woman?”
“No, there’s a pretty man though….”
“Why are you looking at that, you bastard… huh?”
Even normally, anger flares up when seeing a handsome man.
That male student was questioning why he was staring.
But seeing him, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth like a girl.
“…Huh?! Almond!”
The broadcast they enjoyed watching.
It was Almond from Almond’s channel making an appearance.
“Almond?”
“Really?”
“Wow, insane. Even from 100 meters away, you can tell it’s Almond.”
He’d been taking a long break since the Cheese Village content.
So his sudden appearance in a place like this was shocking.
“Waaah! Almond! I’m a fan!”
“King~ you can’t beat me! ~Dum!”
The men leaned as far out of the line as possible, waving their hands or striking the ‘King~ Dum’ pose.
Sanghyeon stared blankly at them for a moment, then gave a slight wave.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
Cheers erupted from both men and women.
“He’s so handsome!”
“The worst streamer in the world, Almond!”
“Damn it! Almond! I like you!”
Sanghyeon disappeared down another alley, passing through the club district amid the praise.
The people watched where he vanished and began whispering.
“Why did he come here? Surely he’s not going to a club.”
“Why not? He could.”
“No… he just doesn’t seem like the type to go to a place like that.”
“A place like that? What do you mean?”
They looked up blankly at the sign of the place they’d been standing in line for.
They’d been waiting in line to enter ‘a place like that’ all along.
“Ahem…”
“Good thing he didn’t come here. We almost all became squids.”
“You’re already a squid.”
“If you, me, that guy, and Almond all came here, this place would just turn into Squid Game.”
They bantered back and forth, giggling.
Then someone clapped their hands.
“Ah. I think that’s why he came. Tribby’s funeral.”
“!”
They’d figured out why Almond was here.
“Only streamers were invited to that, so the location was kept private. Looks like they rented a place like a club to hold it.”
“Wow… really? It was nearby?”
“Seems like it. Everyone was wearing all black too. Because it’s a funeral!”
“Oh…! That’s right.”
Those waiting in line began pulling out their phones one by one.
Tap tap tap tap tap.
Posts went up on several community sites.
[Almond Sighting.jpg]
[Almond spotted in front of X University today]
[Since when is Almond this handsome]

[Is this person really Almond??]
[First time seeing Almond as an actual person lol]

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 176]
* * *
Black marble, violet lighting, music pounding at a moderate volume.
Thump, thump, thump…
A party in full swing, with countless people gathered, laughing and chattering.
Those assembled were far from ordinary.
Their hair colors alone were wildly varied.
These weren’t people from mainstream society.
The fact that each of them carried broadcast equipment on their bodies made them anything but ordinary.
“Wahaha! Really?”
They gathered together, casually sharing everyday conversation.
“Balloon Gum’s supposedly good at games. Who’d believe that?”
“Yeah right.”
On their bodies weren’t just body cameras, but flexible screens as well.
Their broadcast chat was scrolling across them in real time.
-lol Balloon Gum being good at games lmao
-That’s a scary thought
-lol Balloon Gum got roasted
-If Balloon Gum ever wins a game, immediately shut it down. A game where Balloon Gum wins does not exist.
-lol where would that even happen~
So basically… Balloon Gum had insults mocking him all day long plastered across his arm.
“It’s hilarious when my brother does this!”
Because of it, everyone passing by burst into laughter.
“Haha. Public execution.”
“Ahahaha!”
In any case, everyone was excited to see faces after so long, the atmosphere lively and boisterous.
“Sigh.”
Someone sat alone off to the side, fiddling with their phone.
-Gichan, come outside and talk for a bit
-What are you doing here again lol
-If you’re going to be like that, just stream
-Gichan came to the funeral all alone, seriously
He was Mosol, Jeong Gi-chan.
After the Cheese Village content, he’d made a grand vow to interact with other streamers.
‘But actually doing it is harder than I thought….’
Reality was far from kind.
He didn’t even know what to talk about.
And no one had approached him first either.
Until now.
“Ooh~ Gichan! Looking sharp in that black suit today?”
But now.
Surprisingly, Miho approached him.
She’d dressed up in a netted hat and a black mini dress.
It was styled after a Western funeral outfit concept.
-Gasp
-No way
-It’s Miho
-Wow
Breaking news!) Heart rate skyrocketing!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The chat scrolled past at incredible speed on Gichan’s arm.
“Ah… Mi, Miho… older sister….”
“Hey. Why ‘older sister’? That makes me sound old.”
“Oh, I… um, um….”
Whoosh.
Miho sat down beside Gichan.
That’s so cute lol
“Hey, someone take a screenshot of Gi-chan’s face and get the RGB code – why is it so red?ㅋㅋㅋ”
Haha, that’s hilarious!
-Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan!
-Gichan, where are you looking?
He could see the chat scrolling up her slender forearm.
Seeing the chat made him even more embarrassed.
“Gichan.”
Tap.
Miho tapped him.
Only then did Gichan tear his eyes away from Miho’s arm and come to his senses.
“Huh, huh!? I, I was just looking at the chat….”
“No, I’m asking if you drink.”
“Ah… yes, yes… I do drink.”
“Here then, have a glass.”
As Miho picked up the bottle, Gichan raised his glass.
“Are… are you testing Aimee?”
Rattle, rattle.
Even as Miho tried to pour a drink, Gichan’s glass shook so violently that it was impossible to pour anything into it.
Hahahahaha
Hahahaha
Aim test lol
Legend lol
-Almond should come and do it
“Ah, a-ah, n-no. S-sister. I…”
“I just came to get closer. To get closer. I didn’t come to bully you, okay?”
Miho spoke from the heart.
‘How is this possible? Is this a dream?’
Gichan’s heart was pounding so hard he thought he’d go mad.
Miho was right beside him, looking so incredibly beautiful.
How much time would I be able to spend with Miho today?
“W-with me, specifically?”
“Yeah. People say you’re scared of me, right? Ahahaha!”
Miho laughed with a cheerful giggle as if to say that made no sense.
“Let’s talk today, okay? Come on, take this. If you don’t take it, I’m just leaving.”
“Y-yes! Of course!”
Gichan gripped the glass with both hands with all his strength.
This time it didn’t shake.
‘I promised Seok! I said I’d meet more people!’
Steeling his resolve, Gichan held the glass firmly with both hands.
“Ugh… I’m… ready…”
That’s when it happened.
“Ohhh! Daegaaaam~!”
Suddenly, a commotion erupted.
Whoosh!
Miho also jumped up from her seat in an instant.
“Daegam?”
In that moment, messages flooded her chat.
Hahahahahaha
Ah… haha
-Here we go again
I can’t translate “-ㅁㅊ” as it doesn’t form a valid Korean word or meaningful expression. These are just individual Korean consonants without proper context or complete syllables.
-Miho’s greatest enemy… has arrived
-Alert! ‘That bastard’ is here
-Almond defense mode activated again?
-Sigh… Miho, calm down
“Miho, did you trick Kichan? What if he wakes up right away? ㅋㅋㅋ”
Gichan could see all these chat messages clearly.
This is a truly cruel setup.
Hahahahaha
Hahaha lol
-Almond’s defense is insane
-He’s jealous as hell
-The way he immediately says “that bastard” is hilarious
lol
Miho won’t work, Kichan.
Gichan’s viewers lamented.
‘Huh?’
Gichan also rises from his seat.
“…Daegam?”
He tensed up and only belatedly understood the word Daegam.
