The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 13
6. Perfect Shot (1)
Dotorimuk harbored unpleasant memories about Perfect Shot.
The memory of being ridiculed after claiming Perfect Shot actually existed.
-Ah, pushing snake oil again, this bastard.
-Is the game company insane? They’d make something like that?
-Why are the conditions so damn complicated.
-If something like that exists, show us directly.
Dotorimuk felt wronged.
‘Yeah… I want to show it too.’
He could only sense that the function existed, but he lacked the ability to actually demonstrate it.
Eventually, Perfect Shot became nothing more than a hypothesis Dotorimuk had conjured, and it gradually faded from memory as he stopped his bow challenges.
Currently, ordinary players didn’t even know Perfect Shot existed.
That’s why Almond’s chat was in this state.
-Dotorimuk spouting Perfect Shot nonsense again.
-What kind of function is this Perfect Shot thing?
-Isn’t it just an exclamation?
-Isn’t it like the CEO saying nice shot?
Some viewers tried to decipher what Dotorimuk’s donation meant, but most seemed clueless.
-Is that actually a real thing?
-I thought it was just a rumor.
-Is that Dotorimuk for real right now?
-Where does something like that exist lol just some folklore made up by bow hipsters.
-Bow hipsters lol
Some even thought Dotorimuk was joking.
‘Sigh. This is frustrating.’
Dotorimuk vented his frustration internally, but he himself had no solution.
‘If only Almond would clearly explain it.’
The best option here would be for Sanghyeon to directly confirm that I shot a Perfect Shot.
Dojaemuok was waiting for that moment.
He wanted it to be revealed that he had been telling the truth all along. Finally, someone who could freely shoot that Perfect Shot had appeared.
But then…
“…There’s such a thing as a Perfect Shot?”
Shocking words from Sanghyeon’s mouth.
Dojaemuok sat frozen in front of his monitor, mouth hanging open.
‘What?’
It was beyond shocking—it bordered on the mysterious.
‘Wait, he shot it from beginning to end, and he doesn’t know what it is? Is this a joke?’
Unfortunately, judging by Almond’s expression and his following words, it didn’t seem like a joke at all.
“Is that an important function?”
A person who directly proved the existence of Perfect Shot with their own body doesn’t know what Perfect Shot is.
Then was the boss kill just a coincidence?
No, that can’t be it.
Perfect Shot is a valid judgment not just against the boss, but against all other regular mobs as well.
The feeling of death is completely different from a headshot.
A headshot is where you get hit, damage is calculated, and then you die—but a Perfect Shot is just instant death.
You die the moment it connects.
This makes no difference to ordinary players, but for elite-level competitors fighting over fractions of a second, it’s an enormous difference.
The difference between an arrowhead piercing and causing instant death versus the arrow embedding fully, blood spraying, the enemy suffering in pain before dying—this creates a massive impact on the battle environment.
For example, if you take a headshot and die, you can still fire your bow before dying.
Or sometimes you manage to grab onto someone’s pant leg and hold on before dying.
‘Almond has never experienced anything like that.’
As far as Dojaemuok knew, Sanghyeon had never been in such a situation. He’d watched today’s stream from the beginning, and every single shot was a Perfect Shot.
[Dotorimuk donated 10,000 won.]
[You don’t know what Perfect Shot is?]
Sanghyeon nodded.
I genuinely don’t know.
“Yeah. What is that?”
How on earth did he land Perfect Shots one after another without even knowing what it was?
Dojaemuok was flabbergasted.
‘Hah….’
But at the same time, his heart raced.
‘Just how much of a genius is this guy?’
Landing Perfect Shots without even knowing Perfect Shot exists?
This felt like a different caliber of genius entirely.
‘This is the real deal.’
Dotorimuk couldn’t hide his excitement.
A collaboration with a talented newcomer was an extremely positive element for the stream.
‘If I promote this at the right timing, it should work out.’
He thought it would be good to bring this up to the viewers soon.
The Perfect Shot controversy was heating up anyway, so using this as a way to settle it would be perfect.
Hahahahaha
-Dotorimuk, just give up….
Haha, so you were still insisting on the perfect shot haha
-Dotorimuk is so cute lol
How long ago did you quit the bow challenge and you’re still hung up on it lol
-He’s a total nerd. Seriously.
Dojaemuok, who had been waiting for the chat to slowly heat up, sent a donation at this point.
[Dotorimuk donated 10,000 won.]
No. Perfect Shot really exists, I’m telling you? Let me prove it to you. Almond. Wanna do a collab tomorrow?
The moment the collaboration proposal came up, the chat exploded into chaos once again.
-Whoa!
-Wait, is the rumor actually true?
-Looks like he’s really doing a collab
-Almond’s been streaming for 3 days and he’s already collabing with a mid-tier streamer lol such insane talent.
-This obsession with Perfect Shot is insane
-lol Dotorimuk’s execution day.
-Now it’ll finally be revealed. That stuff never existed anyway…lol

* * *
Watching the chat scroll explode upward, Sanghyeon immediately caught on.
‘Ah. He’s promoting right now.’
Dotorimuk certainly knew his way around streaming. Building up hype like this and seamlessly connecting it to promotion was clever.
‘He even created something like Perfect Shot for this kind of hype build. I’m learning something here.’
Sanghyeon even convinced himself that Perfect Shot was something Dotorimuk deliberately invented—a concept that didn’t actually exist—just to create controversy for this buildup.
If Dotorimuk had heard this, he might have genuinely lost his mind. He wanted to resolve his grievances through Sanghyeon, yet Sanghyeon was treating it as nothing more than a marketing tactic.
“A collaboration?”
Sanghyeon tilted his head as if he didn’t know.
-Just decline. If Dotoriddan finds out, it’s actually bad.
-nah nah lol
-Who is Dotorimuk anyway! I’m Almond! Get lost!
-The squirrel fans are gonna flood in like crazy
In the chat, there were comments from Dotorimuk’s fanbase—Dotoriddan—worrying about an influx.
But from Sanghyeon’s perspective, even they seemed to be secretly hoping for a collaboration with Dotorimuk.
Moreover….
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[If you prove Perfect Shot during the collab, I’ll give you 100,000 won more.]
Rubisword, who had set the one-shot one-kill boss mission, even offered to double the mission reward if he proved it.
-Wow… a big spender.
-Wasn’t just a zero-tier supporter.
-Damn….
Sanghyeon had no reason to decline here.
“Thank you, Rubisword. It’s an honor for me. I’ll do the collaboration.”
The answer everyone had been waiting for flowed from his lips.
-Kyaa
-The squirrels are coming, we’re doomed
-Wait for us, Dotorimuk!
-Dotorimuk’s viewers are all gonna get stolen lol
-Forget acorns, eat almonds instead squirrels…
The reaction was explosive as expected.
Those who disliked Dotorimuk enjoyed watching him get thoroughly crushed by Almond’s physical prowess, while those who liked him simply enjoyed the collaboration itself.
[Dotorimuk donated ‘10,000 won’.]
[Nice. Thanks for accepting it so coolly. I’ll reach out again!]
Dotorimuk donated an additional 10,000 won as his final gesture before leaving.
-Ah, wait. He just donated 120,000 won total. No reaction?
Hahaha ‘that reaction’ hahaha
It’s just a 100,000 won reaction stream. Don’t talk nonsense, guys.
The reaction is unrestrained lol
“Ah, right. I didn’t react. Dotorimuk won’t see this, but….”
I figured it was the right time to end the broadcast anyway. I’d defeated the boss, and anticipation for tomorrow’s collaboration had reached its peak.
Whoosh!
I fired an arrow up into the sky above.
“Stream end!”
I raised both arms and ended the broadcast.
Thud!
[Death]
Just as expected, the Capsule forcefully ejected me, and Almond’s avatar disappeared on its own.

* * *
Click.
I stepped out of the Capsule pod drenched in sweat and immediately started taking a cold shower.
Splash.
“Haa. But isn’t it a bit dangerous if it ejects like this every time I die?”
No matter what, it’s a machine that directly interfaces with brainwaves, so suddenly ejecting like this made me uneasy.
As I finished showering, my phone’s vibration greeted me.
Buzz.
I wrapped a towel around my head and checked—it was Juhyeok.
[Juhyeok: Watched the stream. Sounds like he wants to meet up tomorrow. Where should we gather?]
I struggled to tap the screen with my wet hands.
[Meet up…? What are you talking about? Aren’t we meeting online?]
Joo Hyuk: What did you hear last time we met? ㅡㅡ
I could practically see Juhyeok’s expression right before my eyes. That look of him letting out a deep sigh.
[Juhyeok: Apparently they don’t just play games in the Capsule—they also do interview content.]
[Juhyeok: He said meeting in person would look way better on camera, remember? You talked about it back then.]
Oh, right.
I vaguely remembered. He wanted to do interviews too….
Not interviews with avatars in the virtual world, but real face-to-face interviews.
I glanced at the fogged mirror in the bathroom and inexplicably gained some confidence.
[Ah, ok. Let’s meet at Successor Station.]
I sent that reply and then checked the reactions on the Community Site ‘Kingdom Age’.
[Dotorimuk’s sigh… That perfect shot of his lol]
[Dotorimuk makes a surprise appearance on Almond’s stream today]
[Almond going off the rails with reactions again…]
Most of the posts were about how funny Almond’s stream was.
Among them, one post had received an unusually high number of recommendations.
[Analysis video: Almond’s boss one-shot takedown today]
The title piqued my curiosity, so instead of just lurking, I clicked in to watch.
There was an attached video.
It showed me using rapid-fire mode.
At some point, the video slows down dramatically.
It was the moment the boss came into view in the distance.
I didn’t even realize it was the boss—I instinctively drew the bowstring and released, the arrow flying true without hesitation.
Thunk!
The boss, like everything else, took a direct hit right in the center of its forehead.
And the boss collapses.
“So that’s what makes it a perfect shot?”
But the problem was the firing speed was too fast.
Before the boss even finished falling, another arrow had already lodged itself in.
Actually, I was aiming at a different bandit behind it, but the boss staggered and took the hit instead.
-Dude, I can’t really tell from this.
-But it definitely staggers hard after taking one hit?
-Yeah, it’s ambiguous.
-The boss is so huge it’s actually hard to tell.
-Anyway, the accuracy is insane.
└For real lol
└Headshot on something you can’t even see.
└And right in the center too. Gives me chills.
└Real talk, always hits the vitals dead center.
The comment reactions were similar to my own thoughts.
Whether it fell from one hit or staggered and took one more before falling.
[Everyone’s already making a fuss. It’ll all be clear tomorrow anyway. Tomorrow’s the collab with Dotorimuk.]
[Real reason tomorrow’s stream is hyped.txt]
[Predicting Almond’s face.jpg]
[Almond’s definitely an ugly pig]
Posts with titles like these started appearing.
The posts were slowing down, so I stopped reading and started preparing dinner.
Zing.
That’s when my phone vibrated again.
[Juhyeok: Yo. You see Oltube? It’s insane.]
It was Juhyeok again.
“What are you talking about?”
“Juhyeok: Your video just dropped on Oltube. It went up an hour ago and already has almost 40,000 views.”
“But we don’t even use Oltube….”
“Juhyeok: It’s on Dotorimuk’s channel. He made an intro and teaser video about you doing a collab with him. (link)”
I immediately clicked the link.
“I’m doing a collab with Jumong tomorrow.”
That was the title of the video.
[Views: 46,000]
Just as Juhyeok said, the view count had already reached the 40,000s. The video had been uploaded an hour ago.
When I played the video, I was left speechless.
“Wow… what is this?”
It was supposed to be a collab introduction video, but it was essentially a highlight reel made just for me.
With exciting background music and multi-angle editing, it conveyed far more tension and exhilaration than simply shooting arrows.
Whoosh!
The scene of bosses getting taken down in one shot sent shivers down my spine even watching it again.
And at the end of the video, the bandit boss falls to an arrow, followed by this text:
[Is this a perfect shot or not? Find out in tomorrow’s collab.]
The video cut off there.
1,200 comments. And the view count climbing by thousands every moment.
-Wow… I’m definitely watching the collab tomorrow.
-This is insane. Is this a rookie?
-Dotorimuk….
-This guest is legendary tier?
I was worried because I’d never heard of it, but it turned out to be a hidden gem lol.
The viewers all eagerly anticipated the collab the next day.
The next day.
When Dotorimuk’s broadcast went live.
“Alright. We’re starting the broadcast.”
It recorded record-breaking viewership numbers.
