The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 121
43. Tutorial (1)
The broadcast began.
Viewers flooded in.
‘How high will it go?’
Last broadcast, I had over 10,000 viewers.
When I did the interview with Huyeon Yu, it even reached 15,000.
‘I shouldn’t compare it to that.’
But those viewers all came from watching me break the world record on Ollytube.
So they weren’t part of my regular ‘fanbase’.
According to Juhyeok’s analysis, my fanbase was around 7,000 to 8,000 people.
Everything else was just inflated numbers from events like Diamond promotion matches or interviews.
They could eventually become fans, but they could disappear at any moment.
So I had to set my baseline at 7,000 to 8,000.
I needed to see how many of them would follow me when I switched to Reel.
After all, even if they were fans, they were fans of me ‘playing Battle Rage’.
‘He said I should expect at least half to stay.’
He said it was possible that nearly half would drop off.
That meant I could be playing with 4,000 viewers.
‘There’s nothing I can do about it.’
Even so, it couldn’t be helped.
Since Reel and Battle Rage were quite different games, I essentially had to restart my broadcast growth from scratch.
Eventually, it would soar again anyway.
After the intro ended.
The viewer count appeared.
[Current Viewers: 6.3K]
Checking the chat, I felt somewhat relieved.
‘This much is…’
It wasn’t bad.
After all, it was 2,300 more viewers than the 4,000 I’d expected.
Many viewers probably didn’t come in because they saw I was doing a tutorial.
Tomorrow it would grow even more.
…or so I kept rationalizing in my head.
‘This can’t be happening.’
I was unconsciously being affected by the viewer count.
No matter how much I tried to convince myself it wasn’t that much of a drop, it clearly wasn’t working.
A corner of my mind kept screaming: 6,000? That’s way too low!?
‘Am I insane? Focus.’
I shook my head vigorously to regain my composure, then concentrated on the chat.
-Hahahaha
-Are you really going to Reel?
Battle Royale isn’t coming? ㅠㅠ
Ugh, I’m so frustrated ㅠㅠㅠ
-Dropping Battle Rage!? Abandoning your team!?
-Hahahaha!
-Almond fighting!
-Wow, he’s really doing Reel?
-He’s already got Reel loaded up?
“Yes. As the title says, I’m playing Reel today.”
I’m so frustrated ㅠㅠㅠ
Battle Royale ㅠㅠㅠ
I can’t translate this as it doesn’t appear to be valid Korean text. The characters shown (-으규ㅠㅠ) don’t form coherent words or meaningful content.
Bye… I’ll miss you…
[Yeonunnu donated 10,000 won!]
It’s my birthday today. B-but that doesn’t mean I’m asking you to do Kingdom for me…hehe
“Yeonunnu! Happy birthday! As for Kingdom….”
-Congratulations!
-Wow! Birthday! Congratulations!
-Yeonunnu congrats!
-What about Kingdom? Say something!
Haha… I can’t even speak…
An open ending, lol so lame
[Baejiter donated 10,000 won!]
[Won’t you do Battle Rage anymore going forward?]
“Thank you, Baejiter. Unless something special comes up, I don’t think I’ll be playing it for a while. I’ve gotten the urge to try Reel.”
I meant it sincerely.
I wanted to move from reality-based games to fantasy games now.
I wanted to feel that transcendent physicality I could never have in reality once more.
Of course, among Baera fans who enjoyed realistic games, quite a few were disappointed.
I’m crying / I’m so sad
-Why play that trashy game! Play Battle Rage instead
-Battle Rage is way more well-made…
-You idiot, if we’re talking well-made, Kingdom is the one, are you joking?
[King Chiman Association donated 1,000 won.]
[Hmph. Now do you understand a little how it felt when you abandoned Kingdom? Everyone?]
[Rubisword donated 3,000 won.]
[Almond fighting in Reel too!]
“Rubisword, fighting! Thank you. King Chiman Association, I didn’t abandon Kingdom?”
Just say you threw it away lol
Then just do it ㅜㅜㅜ
-Fish pond management lol
-Rosenitta will remember this.
I already have the reel tutorial playing, what are you doing lol
“I’m serious though…”
Almond scratched his head.
“Anyway, let me start the tutorial. I need to choose an Avatar…”
Huh?
Almond was bewildered once more after seeing the viewer count.
I was supposed to choose my desired Avatar and enter the Battlefield. But that part had been skipped.
Almond was simply thrown directly into the Battlefield.
So right now, I was in a bare human body without an Avatar.
“Uh? Sana, how do I choose?”
-Lol newbie shock…
-Haha the scent of a newbie, ah, beautiful!
Haha, that’s hilarious. How can you not know this? Lol
In the meantime, Sana went and found out something else, which is hilarious lol
So you were trying to be sly, haha! But no way! It’s Kigungsung right away!
-Sana’s kinda ambiguous. Just go with a tier 1 Avatar from the start
Come to think of it, Avatars had to be purchased with game currency.
I couldn’t use them from the tutorial.
I was given exactly three choices.
Whoosh!
[Knight] [Archer] [Priest]
The job cards commonly called Knight, Archer, and Priest unfolded before my eyes.
[Please choose the card you want.]
“Ah…… so this is how it progresses?”
Other players would deliberate heavily here, but Almond honestly had no reason to hesitate.
[Job – Archer]
The Archer card glowed brightly, then transformed into a new card.
[Reina: Cold-Blooded Arcane Archer]
Reina was selected as the Archer available in the tutorial.
-Reina welcome lol
Haha, so it’s Reina? The almond discipline is really strict.
-Ohoho? Getting trained, are we Almond~?
She’s even more of a trash character than Sana lol
Isn’t Reina tier 4? ㅠㅠ
-As expected of Almond’s luck…
-If he messes up, he’s going back to Battle Rage
-Reina, tighten Almond’s discipline!
Looking at the chat, it seemed there was a chance other Archer characters could have appeared besides Reina.
And Reina was an archer rated two tiers lower than Sana.
But what did he mean by “discipline”? Was it so pathetic that discipline could be established?
“But why would discipline be──”
[The legend of the Incarnate Reina dwells within your body.]
Thump.
“──Huh?”
A heavy resonance spread through my body.
Was it a sound effect?
Almond was momentarily flustered. For some reason, it didn’t feel like a game sound effect. It had that much sense of reality.
Uuuuung…!
Bright blue light swirled around both hands.
It began to glow even brighter.
A sphere of blue light traced an elegant curve as it shot upward.
Soon it took on a certain form and descended back into Almond’s hands.
It was a bow that emanated a subtle blue glow.
Almond stared at the bow as if enchanted.
‘Wow….’
The viewers were delighted watching Almond’s dumbfounded expression.
Haha, is this your first time with this genre?
Newbie noob ㅠㅠㅠ
Hahaha, we haven’t even started yet.
Adding that newbie smell lol
-Warning! Soon it will start to reek!
[Newbie Hunter donated 10,000 won!]
[After so long, the scent of a newbie…]
“Ah. Newbie Hunter, thank you. Was I being too obvious?”
hahaha
-Show more of it!
“Wow, surprised almonds are so cute! Hehe”
I’d been too obvious with my amazement.
I’d seen it many times on broadcasts before. But actually doing it felt completely different.
Then─
〔Hey, contractor. What are you doing?〕
A voice like this echoed in my mind.
“!?”
After startling once more, I realized this was the voice of the Incarnate dwelling within my body.
In other words, it was Reina’s voice.
Hahaha, you surprised me again lol
Are you saying today’s Mad Movie is surprising?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Almond Scare Compilation Request (1/100)
-What’s with that voice…
〔Why are you standing there like an idiot? We need to advance to the enemy lines.〕
This is how Reel, the avatar dwelling within me, relays the game’s basic situation.
〔This contractor is really frustrating. Is this guy an idiot?〕
And she even throws in some insults for good measure.
Hahahahahahaha
I can’t translate this as it’s not coherent Korean text. It appears to be random characters and laughter symbols (ㅋㅋㅋ).
-Now that’s it!
-Insults? That’s a reward!
-This is Reina’s true style after all
A restaurant famous for its swearing staff lol
-Insult me more! Give me more insults!
“Ahem, ahem. The character’s a bit sharp, isn’t she? Well, let’s get going.”
Almond picked up his bow and sprinted forward along the path.
The enemies weren’t visible yet. However, heavily armored soldiers were running alongside me.
Clang. Clang.
They even greeted Almond.
“Contractor! Good morning!”
“Greetings!”
“We’ll have dinner in hell tonight!”
With spirited voices, the soldiers charged toward the enemy lines faster than anyone else.
Following them as I ran, the enemy encampment gradually came into view.
‘Is that it?’
More precisely, the enemy encampment’s “tower” began to appear.
And beneath it, enemy soldiers were also rushing forward.
They were identical to our soldiers in every way except for their color—even their faces looked the same.
Something felt eerie about it.
The moment they met, they clashed with eyes blazing red, slashing with their blades.
“Die!”
“Damn bastards!”
Clang! Clang!
Massive blunt-like swords hammered against their armor.
Just as the silver armor began to crumple like aluminum foil.
Additional soldiers arrived from behind.
“Aim!”
The soldier at the very front shouted.
Then the soldiers lined up in a row each took a step forward.
These were all soldiers carrying bows.
“Aim!”
The same command echoed from the enemy lines.
And I mirrored her actions exactly.
“Fire away!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
An entire archer unit released their arrows in unison.
Every single arrow struck the charging enemy soldier.
He became a pincushion and collapsed limply.
One of our soldiers who had charged forward so eagerly at the start also fell.
〔Stop standing there like an idiot and help the soldiers. Why don’t you draw your bow?〕
As I stood dazed by the sudden battle, Reina spoke to me.
I finally gave my bow a tentative draw.
Twiiing…
A bluish string made of mana vibrated and sang out. Like a stringed instrument.
‘Strange.’
I didn’t feel the weight that should always be present when drawing. It was because the arrow was being drawn with mana.
Ordinary people might find this more convenient, but for me, it felt oddly disconcerting.
However, regardless, I would need to adapt to this sensation now.
〔How is it? It’s a special bow called Demian. As long as you have mana, even a passing grandmother could draw it. Of course, it only responds to my mana. Try pulling it all the way.〕
I began pulling the bowstring all the way as she instructed.
Since I was standing still and shooting for now, I chose the most orthodox archery stance.
I straightened my back, leveled my arms, and drew the string against my body with minimal trembling.
〔By the way, you know how to draw a bow… huh?〕
Criiiick──
As the blue string extended, it gently rested against my upper lip.
In that moment, a bluish mana arrow materialized.
Reina seemed impressed.
〔What. Creating an arrow right away. Is this one actually useful?〕
-Already dropping the tough act?
-This isn’t like her at all…
-What’s with this bright voice?
lol
-She praises based on stance alone… I suspect it might be because of his face…
-Roman…? Why are you trapped inside Reina?
The viewers erupted in outrage as Reina, famous for her prickly demeanor, showed approval so easily.
As if she heard them, Reina changed her tone.
〔Hmm. No. The first contractor wouldn’t be like that. He’s probably just some pretty-faced fool.〕
-Reina denying reality right away lol
-Now that’s the real deal lol
-Ahh refreshing! This is the real Reina!
I’m dying laughing lol
-Suddenly calling him a fool lol
-Hmm. A familiar taste.
〔Well, it’s got decent pull. Let me see if you can actually hit something. Shoot where I’m pointing.〕
A bluish target materialized above the head of an enemy soldier.
Almond released the bowstring without the slightest hesitation.
His signature ghostly release was so seamless that even Reina, an incarnate being, couldn’t perceive it.
There was no need to aim or calculate angles.
Just reflexive, primal instinct.
Before I could even think, the arrow was already flying.
And it struck the dead center of the target.
Crack!
The target burst with impact, dissolving into smoke.
〔What…?〕
Not merely the center of the target.
It was perfectly, mathematically centered.
It was like watching someone draw a geometrically perfect circle by hand.
The precision of that shot was that extraordinary.
Reina fell silent for a moment, as if she couldn’t believe it.
-Lmaooo is Reina bugged?
-This guy’s shooting insanely well for someone picking up a bow for the first time according to his stats lol
-Almond showing his class even here
-Reina:???
A moment later.
〔…You got lucky.〕
She dismissed it as mere luck.
-Lmaooooo
-She’s a king lol
-Lol
-Lol
Refusing to acknowledge it to the end, the chat erupted in laughter at Reina’s pathetic response.
Reina spoke through gritted teeth.
〔Wipe that smug look off your face, contractor. This is where it really starts. Let’s see you hit this.〕
“When did I ever…”
Whoooosh!
Had Reina been consumed by malice?
She completely ignored Almond’s words and multiplied the targets endlessly.
Targets appeared above every enemy soldier’s head, even the distant enemy archers far away.
And it wasn’t even just about hitting heads.
Some soldiers required hits to the waist and legs, others to both arms.
Somehow, I could feel the invisible Reina smirking with satisfaction.
But Almond showed no agitation whatsoever, simply drawing the bowstring with his usual composure.
