The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 151
52. A Long Story (2)
“That’s all I wanted to tell you. I hope it clarifies things.”
Adult Reina spoke those words.
Her story had come to an end.
Reina seemed unwilling to say more.
I had questions I wanted to ask.
The Minion who had been defeated by Yuria first—that detail continued to weigh on my mind.
“What happened to Mott in the end?”
“…I don’t know.”
Her gaze dropped, turning toward the blue bow.
“I don’t know what happened to Mott or Damian. Only….”
Reina pulled something from her possession.
It was an old piece of paper. Something complex was drawn on it.
I recognized what it was immediately.
‘A map….’
“Thanks to this map, I did learn something new.”
What she held was the map she had created to escape the Battlefield.
She flipped it over to show me the back.
Demian & Lucen
The handwriting was difficult to make out.
“At first, I didn’t know what this writing meant. Only after hearing Damian’s name did I understand—after we escaped, that is.”
The inscribed names were Damian and Lucen.
Lucen was Reina’s surname, and Damian was the surname of the character I had played.
“Damian and I had been making this all along. Not by coincidence, but unconsciously, we kept hiding it in places we would go.”
“….”
Just how long had Damian and Reina been preparing that map?
Losing it repeatedly, having their memories erased again and again….
Was Reina’s excessive affection toward me in Story Mode also part of her unconscious will?
I remained dazed for a while, unable to produce any response.
The answer I managed to squeeze out was far too hollow compared to the tangled mess of emotions within me.
“…I see.”
Another brief silence followed.
Reina offered a faint smile. A sorrowful one.
I asked again.
“Did you never go back to that Battlefield later?”
The current Reina is an Avatar.
A being far superior to any Contractor—truly a legendary existence.
She must have had the chance to sweep away such an illegal Battlefield in an instant.
“When I went back later, there was no trace of it left.”
As expected, Reina had returned once more.
But the Battlefield had already vanished by then.
“With problems arising among the Minions, there’s no way it could continue operating.”
“I see.”
“I’m getting a bit drowsy.”
Reina rose from her seat.
I felt like I’d asked an unnecessary question.
Her voice as she answered hadn’t sounded very good.
“Thank you for listening.”
With that farewell, she vanished from the Communion Realm.
“She’s gone.”
I muttered while watching the spot where Reina had disappeared.
In the end, Reina hadn’t explicitly told me why her mood was poor.
Instead, she’d chosen a far more certain method than simply combining a few words to explain.
She’d shared one of her most painful periods with me.
Thanks to that, I could feel “Reina’s reason”—something that couldn’t be explained in a single sentence.
Based on that, I tried to organize Reina’s reason in my own words.
The reason Reina disliked being summoned for purposes other than combat was likely because it reminded her of her life as a Minion.
Those days of slavery, when she was called upon and forced to fight without being given any justification or purpose.
Even after becoming an Avatar and entering into a contract with a Contractor, she probably didn’t want to be moved around like that.
She wanted to be treated as a Colleague.
Just as she had treated the other Minions.
‘In short… you want me to treasure you?’
I scratched my head.
The summary seemed a bit off somehow, but it felt roughly correct.
‘Anyway, I cleared it.’
Clap, clap.
I tapped my cheeks a couple of times.
To return to being Almond, not Damian.
I’d been too immersed in Damian’s role. I hadn’t checked the chat for quite a while.
Returning to streamer mode, I raised both hands and spoke in a cheerful voice.
“Everyone! We cleared it!”
Donations immediately poured in.
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 10,000 won!]
[Wahhh! First clear success!!! Congrats congrats!]
[Jeongsuri-dan donated 50,000 won!]
Oh my god ㅠㅠㅠ seriously Almond ㅠㅠㅠ God Almond ㅠㅠㅠ
[Nowon-gu 1.8jin donated 10,000 won!]
[I’m donating by selling my little brother’s shoes!!!]
.
.
.
So many donations poured in that it took quite a while just to read through them all.
-Nice nice nice, even the final boss succeeded
-Did you know Mott was sacrificed when you did it? Or did you just do it?
-Wow real talk 3-star clear!!!
-Wow 3 stars real talk, I’m getting dizzy
-No wait, the objective was just to escape with Reina so it naturally cleared, you Almonds.
-You see as much as you know~^^
The chat was filled with congratulations, but there were just as many questions.
-How did you know it was Damian?
-Real talk how did you suddenly know it was Damian?
-Did you know and sacrifice him? Is sacrifice the only answer???
Everyone seemed very eager to achieve a 3-star clear with Reina.
Most of the questions were about how I knew Damian was the Castle.
There were many hints, but the most direct one was the sound that came into my head.
“You didn’t hear the sound?”
-Sound?
-Here he goes with nonsense again.
-Don’t tell me you figured it out from some heartstring-tugging sound.
The viewers thought I was spouting nonsense again, but I was serious.
“When I made ‘contact’ with Reina, I heard something like a whisper in my head. It felt like a game mechanic.”
-Why can’t you just say kiss
-Almond sensing assassination threat from Damian
-Almond’s killing intent detection
-Gang evasion is insane lol
-Real talk, the holder of the best survival record. Your evasion is insane lolol
-Real talk you could hear sound???
-God game
“Yes. I really could hear it. It was the sound of ‘Damian,’ but at first I couldn’t even hear it as Damian, and I didn’t know what it meant. I only figured it out later.”
-Wait, was it designed so you could hear the sound Damian?
-Look at the Ril story dedication lolol
-Wow do balance patches like this you crazy bastards hehe
-Wow so that’s how you knew it was Damian. Crazy
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won!]
[How did you decide on the sacrifice? Did you know or just do it?]
“Ah. Rubisword, thank you so much for the donation again. The sacrifice decision was partly because the Quest content had the nuance that just escaping with Reina was enough…”
I checked the time.
‘I wonder if I can tell the whole story.’
The final boss ended faster than expected, so there seemed to be plenty of time.
‘I think I can turn this into a storytelling stream.’
Since I’d already started talking about it, I decided to explain how I came to the decision to make the sacrifice.
Generally, established streamers like myself do a kind of wrap-up broadcast once a major game ends.
I was naturally doing something like that right now.
[Viewer MintyAlmond donated 1,000 won.]
[I missed the whole game earlier, but now I’m catching all of Almond’s storytelling lol so worth it!]
As such, there were quite a few viewers who actually enjoyed these kinds of broadcasts.
“Thanks for the donation, MintyAlmond. Let me explain how I came to the decision about the sacrifice.”
Lol, it’s so cute how Almond talks a lot ㅠㅠ
-He’s excited about clearing it with 3 stars lol
-He’s definitely still hung up on Damian lol
This was an excellent development.
After all, for a general game streamer to establish themselves, the streamer themselves need to be the main content, not just the game.
“The biggest hint for the sacrifice ending was that Damian is my name. Reina’s bow is named Damian, right?”
-He’s excited lol
-Self-praise mode activated!
-Ah, after clearing with 3 stars, he can’t help but brag lol
-So once he realized it was Damian, he decided he had to make the sacrifice
“The fact that the bow he treasures so dearly is named Damian means Damian was quite precious to him. If he were truly precious, wouldn’t he still be with me now?”
-Yeah, that makes sense.
-True
-We don’t know that. Don’t ask.
-A precious person? That only happens in shounen manga, doesn’t it?
-Heh… I have no one precious to me. That’s why I’m strong.
-You’re all cold-blooded pretty boys like Sasuke, so you don’t have such things~ Zip it~
“But Damian isn’t with me—only the bow bears his name. That meant Damian couldn’t be with me anymore… that he was dead… that’s what I realized.”
and ㅠㅠㅠ (crying)
-Oh, you’re smarter than you look!?
-Oh…
-Almond’s actually using his head here?
“And when I recalled the Quest details, it was only about escaping with Reina, not myself. That’s when I could figure out when Damian had to die.”
Crying sounds / Whimpering sounds
I’m crying / Boo hoo
I’m sorry, Demian ㅠㅠㅠ
Damian, left… ㅠㅠㅠ
I paused for a moment here.
Watching the chat window turn into a sea of tears.
Once the tears had subsided somewhat, I finished my explanation.
“He had to die while getting Reina to escape. That’s how I cleared it.”
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
-Seriously, Almond’s stock is skyrocketing
-Wait, there wasn’t a walnut in his head after all?
-Give me a refund! This isn’t the Almond I knew!
-A 3 million won mission reward is enough to make even walnuts walk away!
-Breaking news) Turns out there was never a walnut in Almond’s head!?
“A walnut in my head… not even mixed nuts…”
-Mixed nuts lmao
-lmaooo
-That’d taste amazing with beer
-lol you’re right! And there are peanuts down below too haha
“I’ll ban the peanuts down below.”
Hahahahaha
-Ban the peanuts lmao
-The peanuts down below are seriously… lmao
-Where do the macadamias go!?
-Wait, where’s the actual almond?
That was the end of my story time.
Now it was time to get back to business.
“Anyway, should I collect the mission reward now?”
*smirk*
A broad smile spread across my face.
And for good reason. Anyone seeing that mission reward would naturally break into a grin.
-lol capitalist smile
-lmaooo wow that victorious smile is killing me
-omg I’m taking a screenshot of this and framing it
-Wow how much is all that
The total mission reward came to approximately 2.8 million won.
2 million won had accumulated from the 3-star clear streamer mission, and the 1-attempt clear mission had grown to 800,000 won.
“Thank you to those who registered the missions—’CantResistThis’ and ‘DataCooperation.’ I’ll slowly call out the names of everyone else who contributed as well.”
[Mission Success!]
As the mission success button was pressed, countless sponsor names scrolled by. It took about five minutes just to read them all aloud.
‘Wow. 3 million won.’
I’d earned nearly 3 million from missions alone, and with donations pouring in to celebrate the streamer achievement, it looked like I’d made over 4 million won in revenue.
But that wasn’t all.
When I exited Story Mode and returned to the waiting room, rewards poured in from all directions.
[You have obtained a large amount of experience!]
[Account level has increased to 7!]
First, my level went up.
[Daily Quest Clear!]
[You have obtained 4,200 coins!]
And I obtained coins from it.
[A new relationship with Reina has been established!]
[Intimacy → Trust]
A new relationship index with Reina had formed.
For now, I had no idea what it was used for.
Perhaps our relationship had grown deeper?
But this wasn’t the end either.
[Your understanding of legends increases.]
[Legend Understanding: Highest (★★★)]
[Reina’s skill ‘Roll’ has been enhanced. From now on, it grants 1 second of invisibility. Cooldown: 8 seconds]
Reina’s skill had even been strengthened.
-Wow this is insane, invisibility while rolling?
-No way
-That’s completely broken
Is this a 3-star Reyna? Crazy.
-Wow amazing
Even Almond, who didn’t know much about it, could see this was an incredible upgrade.
Invisibility every time she rolled? The enemies would have an incredibly hard time dealing with that.
Moreover, the players who received this reward could be counted on one hand across the entire world…
Boom boom boom!
[You have achieved the first Achievement on the Korean server!]
[Check your honor border and seal!]
Only one person on the Korean server.
-Waaah!
-Congrats congrats
-Yeah, Korean server first confirmed
-Damn if it wasn’t for that North European Viking thug, it would’ve been first on the entire server lol
and creepy/eerie
-Insane…
The reward for being first with an Achievement wasn’t much. It just gave honor borders and seals like that.
It seemed to be for the sake of game balance.
If the player who claimed the Story Mode Achievement first had better performance, it would be unfair.
‘Still, that’s an incredible reward. I think this is enough for Ril today.’
I checked the time.
8 PM. A grueling 10-hour journey.
No matter how much it’s Story Mode, 10 hours? This was a record even for me.
I had to go to the hospital tomorrow too, so I couldn’t overexert myself.
But I still had things to do.
“We really did go at it for a while. Ril ends here. But I should do some reactions, right?”
Specifically, sponsor reactions.
[Kingdom Musa donated 1,000 won.]
[Wait? Almond. But why are you launching Battle Rage? If you’re going to do that, please launch Kingdom instead!]
Almond, who was supposed to react, was launching Battle Rage instead.
-??? For real?
-What’s going on?
-Already dropping Ril?
-So real bows are better after all?
Is this for reactions? No way?! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Breaking news) Battle Rage degraded to reaction game
