The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 10
4. Tutorial (1)
Whoosh!
The hang glider unfurled, and I carefully steered it toward what appeared to be a relatively safe landing zone.
Finally, I touched down.
“Phew.”
I exhaled in relief.
Unlike Battle Large’s parachute, the hang glider’s descent was incredibly fast, so I was definitely more tense.
“This is definitely different from Battle Large.”
-It’s a different game after all
-Yeah right
-It’s Ril, who swallowed Battle Large lol
Hahaha, you mentioned Battle Royale right away
Why do you abandon it whenever you want, but then bring it up like this?ㅋㅋ
When Ril created the survival game, there had been controversy about similarities with existing battle royale games.
By now, with so many games of this type emerging, it held little significance.
But back then, Battle Large had overwhelming market dominance in battle royale games, and Ril brazenly created a similar mode in their own client.
After that, it developed its own unique characteristics and became fun, to the point where it’s now considered one of the foundational battle royale titles.
Yet there was an unspoken rule about not mentioning Battle Large when playing survival games…
“Do you farm like in Battle Large?”
There was no way I could know that.
I didn’t even know survival games existed in the first place.
Again and again lol
-Is this guy doing it on purpose
hahahaha
-Normally he wouldn’t even remember Baera’s name lol, but he’s been practicing to provoke
The chat erupted over the mention of Baera.
But I didn’t read it.
Ding.
[Tutorial Tip]
[The Shadow of the Abyss contains many Narags. If you fall into a Narag, you’ll immediately transform into a ‘Rune Spirit,’ so be sure to use your hang glider.]
Tips kept appearing throughout the tutorial, giving my eyes no rest.
“Narag?”
I looked around to see if such things existed.
Apparently, they did.
Beneath the sheer cliff, I could see a pitch-black void.
“Who would fall into such an obvious place? I don’t even know what a Rune Spirit is─”
“─Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Whoosh!
The moment I said that, something plummeted straight into the Narag.
‘Did they die?’
It seemed they made a mistake during the hang glider descent.
So… they’re dead.
‘One competitor down already.’
Almond delivered the line with ease.
“Bug cut.”
-Lolololol
-Ah haha you gotta do this in battle royale~
-They’re beginners
-The tutorial’s full of first-timers so they’re like thislol
-Kekeke
-Bug cutlol it’s been a while
Boom!
[AI Rights Committee donated 200,000 won!]
[Please care about AI bot rights. Give Reina some attention, and refrain from using the word “bug”…]
-Lololololol what is this
-Don’t bugs have rights?
-Sudden Reina
-200k wow
-Whoa
-Real talk AIs are people with feelings too ^^
“Ah, yes. Committee member. Thank you for the 200,000 won. I’ll be mindful of bot rights.”
-Committee lol
-200k is serious business
-Lololol Committee
-200k? Instant bot rights injection lololol
-Nut Fans have rights too so bots deserve it ^^
Almond spoke through team voice to find his teammates.
[Where is everyone?]
His tone toward the bots became noticeably more courteous.
Ting~ Ting~
Pings marked on the minimap.
[I’m here. Over here.]
[Right here.]
[Safe.]
Ostrich Egg, Yoyoyo, and Baegi.
All three walked toward Almond’s location and gathered together.
“Everyone’s here.”
Almond smiled gently, about to offer words of encouragement to the bots.
“Even though you’re bots, you’re putting in the effort….”
“Huh? No, that’s not right. We’re one short.”
The truth was, we were indeed one person short.
“But everyone who answered earlier is here, aren’t they?”
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
Unbeatable logic lol
No, dude, there were originally five in total lol
-Who’s the bot…
-???: Everyone who’s missing, raise your hand!
“Ah, well, you see…”
Baegi, the bot(?), was flustered.
‘What? What is this guy saying.’
That’s what I thought internally, but since everyone here was a beginner, I tried to explain somehow.
Of course, dealing with Almond wasn’t going to be easy.
“So… since they’re not here, they couldn’t answer….”
The explanation grew more convoluted.
Almond’s expression was gradually souring.
Boing… boing….
A shimmering, round ball-like object bounced toward us.
Words appeared above that ball.
[Rune Spirit (Hampunch): Please save me. I fell off….]
There was a teammate who had fallen to their death.
‘Huh?’
Almond asked the viewers in the chat.
“Earlier, that… ‘that thing,’ right?”
The bug from the bug cut was on our side.
“That thing” lol
-Yes. I’m the bug from the bug cut.
Hahahahaha, this is hilarious
-Is that the one who fell earlier?
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
An ally dying from the start.
With such unfortunate team luck, most players would have their mental state shaken.
But Almond wasn’t like that.
His mental fortitude was already the strongest, so it was impossible to shake.
Now, even more so, it was impossible.
‘Because they’re bots.’
First, I believed these were bots.
‘So this is how it’s supposed to go.’
Second, I considered this a scripted sequence of the tutorial.
To demonstrate these kinds of tips.
Ding.
[Tutorial Tip]
[To revive an ally who has become a Rune Spirit, simply stay close nearby. As the Sanctuary’s energy resonates and the gauge fills completely, your ally will return to life.]
Thus, Almond didn’t make a fuss about bugs or anything else, and simply revived his teammate.
[Hampunch has been revived!]
Whoosh.
The Rune Spirit grew larger and larger, taking on a human form.
“Ah, I’m so sorry. I died right from the start.”
Hampunch felt embarrassed, but.
Almond didn’t mind at all.
“No, not at all. I learned because of you. Thank you.”
Wasn’t Hampunch sacrificed to teach me how to revive?
With his newfound awareness of bot rights, Almond expressed his gratitude instead.
Of course, Hampunch was taken aback.
“Yes…?”
“Maybe the voice recognition isn’t working well.”
“???”
Almond pressed his face right up against Hampunch’s and conveyed his thanks again.
Slowly and clearly so he could understand properly.
“Thank. You. So. Much.”
“!?”
I’m dying laughing haha
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha
Are you threatening me? lol
At Almond’s close-range delivery, Hampunch didn’t know what to do with himself.
“Y-yes… I’m so sorry. I’m truly sorry!”
Almond shook his head seriously and explained in more detail.
“No, no. If it weren’t for you, Hampunch, I wouldn’t have known how to revive anyone. I wouldn’t have had the chance to learn.”
hahahahahaha
The effect of -200,000 won is crazy
Bot rights skyrocketing lol
Hahahaha
“Ah… I, I’ve really made a terrible mistake…”
“No, you haven’t made a mistake. That’s just how you were programmed, right? That’s how you were born, isn’t it?”
“I’m s-so sorry!”
In the end, Hampunch couldn’t bear the pressure and bowed his head.
Hahahahahahaha
Haha, seriously though
That’s crazy lolol
I’m dying, I can’t breathe haha
I speak to the viewer channel with satisfaction.
“When you treat a bot with respect like this, they can become so kind.”
-Right, the bot is so kind
Unlike some other bots, this one is genuinely kind.
Better than Reyna bot anyway.
-Sigh, bots these days have no manners. This one doesn’t seem like the modern type.
Countless schemers determined to deceive me.
Only a handful of righteous loyalists spoke the truth.
“saying it’s not a bot lol”
I can’t translate this as it doesn’t appear to be standard Korean text. It seems to be a jumbled combination of Korean characters and onomatopoeia (ㅋㅋ represents laughter), but it doesn’t form coherent words or meaning.
-It’s not a bot, it’s a person
-It’s actually a real person
“Warning issued. Telling a bot it’s not a bot? That violates bot rights.”
They received a ‘Jello-style – Baiting’ warning.
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahaha how is the bot a person lol
Ugh, these trolls are so annoying.
-A bot is beautiful in its own right.
Delighted schemers and the betrayal of loyalists that follows.
Ding!
[Rubisword donated 30,000 won.]
[Lately, lots of people are saying as a meme that NPCs are actually people trapped inside! That’s definitely baiting.]
Rubisword adds her own spoonful too.
“Ah, thank you, Rubisword. I didn’t know such a meme existed.”
Hahahahahaha
Hahahaha
Queen Bee episode, crazy/insane
Hahaha, oh hahaha
“What kind of meme is that lol”
Though the chat is filled with an unusual amount of laughter, I turn my attention back to the game.
“Where should we head?”
Baegi the bot(?) answers.
“We need to find weapons.”
“Weapons?”
“Weapons always come first. We need to find a weapon befitting an Incarnation.”
“Ah… I see… an Incarnation…”
I thought the conversation was flowing well.
‘Huh?’
Something suddenly comes to mind.
“Oh. That’s right!”
Clap!
I clap my hands together.
“I came without selecting an Avatar! What do I do?”
“…Huh?”
My four teammates’ eyes blink in confusion.
‘Just now… what did he say?’
‘Huh? Did I mishear?’
Everyone looks bewildered.
“I said I came without selecting an Avatar. I don’t have a contracted Avatar. The Coach suddenly kicked me out of nowhere.”
“Um… Hero?”
Baegi, who seems the most composed of the group, raises his hand.
“Avatars are normally contracted here.”
“…?”
-You didn’t know that?
Is this real? lol
“I really came here knowing absolutely nothing lol”
-You didn’t even know this?
-Wow
-Almond’s just Almond.
That was it.
The biggest characteristic of the Survival Tournament.
Avatars are contracted after entering the battlefield.
“Oh… how interesting.”
Unlike Almond, who finds it fascinating and amusing, most of my teammates grimace.
‘Damn. He’s even more of a beginner than I am.’
‘If we win the tutorial, the rewards are good… this sucks.’
‘What is this. Is he a bot?’
Baegi, the most sharp-witted among the teammates, takes the lead.
“Let’s go get our weapons first.”

* * *
After walking a short distance, I spotted a glowing box.
Whoooosh!
[Sacred Relic Chest]
Ding.
[Tutorial Tip]
[What is a Sacred Relic? A weapon created by the power of the Sanctuary. It is the only means to exert power within the space created by the Sanctuary’s force, and it has binding properties, allowing you to equip only one at a time.]
This explanation appeared.
It seemed designed to be obtained right from the start.
The Leader Bot—I decided to call him Almond—added his own explanation to this.
“You need to match your position when you pick it up.”
Baegi, the Leader Bot, spoke directly to Almond.
He had recognized that I was an important person.
‘Looks like a tutorial player, so I should explain this properly.’
Anyone could see this person was in the middle of the tutorial.
The fact that he was surprised about not having made an Avatar Contract was the giveaway.
“Hero. Please take this.”
What he pointed to was a shield.
“…Um. A shield?”
Almond’s expression was reluctant.
“You’re in the tutorial, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
“A shield will increase your survival rate.”
On the ground lay various items—shields, swords, spears, bows, staffs, and more.
Baegi recommended the shield.
“How am I supposed to fight with just a shield…?”
“A shield isn’t just a shield—later you contract with a tank-type Avatar.”
“Hmm… Tank… I prefer the bow.”
Yoyoyo gave a thumbs up from the side, offering encouragement.
He was holding a bow.
“Dude. The shield’s pretty good too. It’s not just a shield. It’s basically like Captain America’s shield.”
“No thanks. I’m a Hawkeye fan.”
Almond’s eyes turned toward Yoyoyo’s bow.
hahahahahaha
I’m dying laughing hahahaha
lol
-There’s a Hawkeye fan?
Honestly, isn’t almond stronger though?
Yoyoyo bristled.
“Hawkeye fan? Are you trying to start something?”
I had never seen anyone among the Avengers claim to be a fan of such a thug.
“No, I’m serious.”
“Wow, this is hopeless.”
The conversation had taken a strange turn.
Baegi, the Leader Bot, stepped in to mediate.
“Come on, come on! Hero. Just take the shield. That’s how it’s normally done.”
-But the Reckless Warrior doesn’t know
-Doesn’t Almond know everything?
Are you acting or something? lol
How would I know, I’m a bot lol humans are crazy
Some viewers were frustrated that they couldn’t recognize Almond, but that was understandable.
(After all, since he was a bot, it was natural that he couldn’t recognize him.)
Even though Almond was famous, the username “Reckless Warrior” wasn’t widely known.
It wasn’t Ril who had made Almond famous to the general public—it was the National Championship.
Even if Baegi knew who Almond was, there was no way he could imagine that this beginner tutorial player “Reckless Warrior” standing right in front of him was Almond.
He simply thought of him as someone oddly obsessed with a handsome avatar.
“I’ll take the shield. It seems like that’s how the story is flowing.”
“?”
He never imagined that the “Reckless Warrior” asking this question while picking up the shield could be Almond, the hero of that National Championship.
“By the way, if I die, do weapons drop?”
“Before you contract with a Spirit Avatar… yes. Everything drops.”
“I see.”
Almond was speaking with Baegi, but his eyes were fixed intently on something else.
“Why… why are you saying that while looking at me?”
“I’m not. I’m just looking.”
“You are!”
“I’m looking at the bow.”
“That’s me!”
“I’m a Hawkeye fan…”
He was staring at Yoyoyo, the player holding the bow.

[Beginner’s Tip: Except for Sacred Relics, you cannot affect Contractors protected by the Sanctuary. Pulling or pushing with your hands is completely useless. However, mental attacks conveyed through language are possible, and statistics show that many Contractors enjoy using this method.]
