Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 13
5. Ripple Effects (1)
Almond opened the door without his teammates’ consent.
“I’m losing it… Being trapped here like this. I’m actually losing it…”
The Store Clerk thought he’d gone mad.
But Almond had his reasons too.
A fierce battle to take a dump ㄷㄷ I’m looking forward to it~
-I’m going to the restroom!
-Teacher! Let me go to the restroom!
-Lol. The accuracy of Korean schools not letting students use the restroom is killing me
His bowel control was reaching its limit. His bladder was already at capacity, and his bowels were about to follow suit.
Truly terrifying!
Almond felt anxious even though he wasn’t actually desperate yet.
‘Hurry…!’
If the broadcast was still on and he had an accident in his pants, it would be the ultimate humiliation.
I could already picture what Juhyeok would say when I left the Capsule.
‘Around fifteen, maybe.’
The number of Zombies wasn’t that many.
Fifteen total.
They weren’t particularly fast. Just relentless.
And…
They were dangerous.
‘Does getting scratched cause infection too?’
I didn’t know exactly how Zombies could infect their opponents.
‘Bites are definitely one hundred percent.’
But thinking of the PE Teacher Zombie, I had to avoid getting bitten at all costs.
“Store Clerk. Close the door here.”
“…What?”
“Just close it for now.”
The Store Clerk looked at me with wavering eyes as if asking what I was doing, hesitating.
“W-why are you trying to leave!? Just come back in first!”
The Store Clerk tried to stop me while the Zombies hadn’t attacked yet.
“Well…”
-“Because I need to go”
-That’s it… I need to go. Do it with style! Do it sexy! Do it cool!
Hahaha why can’t you talk?
I feel embarrassed about almonds and stuff like this lol
“Well… because I can.”
I threw out the most plausible excuse I could manage.
Then I dashed forward.
-lmao lol
-can do it so…
-what’s that dialogue lol
-acting all tough lol
-literally acting tough lol
“Close it quick!”
A Zombie lunges forward as if it had been waiting for this moment.
“Gaaaaaah!”
At that sight, the Store Clerk finally panics and slams the Snack Bar’s iron door shut.
Thud!
“P-please come back! You must!”
A voice echoes from beyond the iron door.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
This sound comes from the corridor.
‘It’s coming.’
Its gaping maw opens wide, revealing a pitch-black throat directed at Almond.
“Kyaaaah!”
Whoosh!
Almond twists his upper body to the left, evading the attack.
The Zombie’s hair grazes across the bridge of his nose.
And immediately after, the sound of teeth clashing right in front of him.
Snap!
Thinking about how I would have had flesh torn away by that attack makes my hair stand on end.
‘Still too slow.’
I thrust my knife into the back of the Zombie’s neck as it attempted to bite.
Squelch!
Viscous blood oozes out sluggishly. But…
“Graaaah!”
The Zombie pays no mind and turns around again, swinging its arm.
Whoosh!
I crouch down to evade, then thrust my utility knife upward beneath its jaw.
Squelch!
“Gaaaah! Gaah!”
As expected, it doesn’t affect its vitals at all.
‘This won’t work.’
No matter how thick an industrial utility knife is, using one meant for cutting box packaging won’t do.
I can’t kill it.
‘What do I do? Get a weapon again?’
I look at the closed Snack Bar door. I’d be surrounded by Zombies in the time it takes to open it again. I must avoid that at all costs.
So, rejected.
[Warning! Defecation level exceeds 90%.]
[Failure to resolve this will result in unconsciousness at maximum.]
My defecation level climbs from 80 to 90, as if spurring my judgment forward.
I roll my eyes to locate the restroom. A door comes into view around the corner.
It’s a sliding door with a latch that can be locked.
‘Let’s break through first.’
I’ll rush and relieve myself, then lock the restroom door once I arrive to buy myself more time.
“Grraaahhh!”
The zombie struck by my box cutter lunges at me again.
I shove the box cutter into my pocket entirely, slip past the attack, and sweep my leg to trip it.
Thud!
The zombie crashes to the floor.
Given the zombie’s low intelligence and sluggish limbs, it takes time to get back up.
Snap! Snap!
Even from that position, it snaps its teeth, desperately trying to bite at least my feet.
A chilling sight.
But I have no time to be distracted.
‘More are coming.’
Three zombies from the middle of the corridor, hearing the commotion, are approaching.
I vault over the fallen zombie and charge toward them instead.
‘I can evade them.’
Though there are three, their movements are disappointingly simple.
They can’t form systematic formations to pressure me like humans would, nor can they predict even basic movements.
Their attacks always follow the same pattern.
‘Toward where I am.’
My current position.
Then the solution becomes simple.
“Kyaahhh!”
“Graaahhh!”
All three lunge with gaping mouths, one bite each. It felt like being sushi on a conveyor belt.
I thrust my right foot forward, slipping one attack, then pivot left in succession to evade another.
In an instant, I zigzag through their strikes and vault past all three zombies.
Clack! Snap!
Their teeth collide only with empty air. Not a single piece of my flesh is claimed.
‘It works.’
Zigzagging.
The most effective breakthrough method against the simplest opponents.
Simply moving away from my original position renders their attacks ineffective.
By timing my zigzag movements with their attack windows, theoretically I can never be hit.
Realizing this, I begin pushing through the corridor with far greater boldness.
‘Drive them to the right, go left. Drive them to the left, go right.’
More and more Zombies began attacking from behind, and their numbers swelled around me.
This time, five at once.
They surrounded me from all sides—front, back, and everywhere—launching their assault.
But──
“Kyaaaack!”
“Kraaaaack!”
“Kaack!”
──Thwack!
All I heard was the sound of teeth gnashing through empty air.
I smoothly rolled my body downward and tumbled past them to their rear.
lol
-He dodged all of that?
-Wow
Is this really how you’re supposed to play this game??lol
-Did he make some kind of deal with the producers?
And finally, I reached the Restroom in the center of the Corridor.
‘This is it.’
The door was open.
Whoosh!
I darted inside like an arrow.
Slam!
I barely managed to shut the Restroom door behind me.
Click.
I locked it.
Boom──!
I felt the Zombies slamming against the door, but for now, I should be safe for a while.
“Haa….”
I leaned my back against the door and caught my breath for a moment.
Then I checked my status.
==== ====
[Anxiety]
Something remains unresolved, causing anxiety. Health is decreasing.
==== ====
Surprisingly, there was nothing else notable in my status.
The anxiety stemmed from not having relieved myself, so essentially I had no debuffs at the moment.
“I barely made it.”
I immediately opened the Bathroom door and stepped inside, then suddenly paused.
Ding!
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 2,000 won.]
[Wait. Almond. But would it be okay if viewers see you defecating? By the way, I’ve already pressed the clip recording button.]
“…?”
Was this really going to air as-is?
Almond was bewildered.
-Lol right, this is totally going out
-Games like this usually just air it lol
-It’s a rite of passage every streamer must go through
-Almond dude, you haven’t even broadcast yourself defecating yet? You’ve been slacking.
What kind of comments were these?
Almond’s values suddenly became confused.
‘Was I supposed to do this naturally?
That doesn’t make sense.
How could I possibly broadcast this scene?
He didn’t believe it.
‘There has to be some way around this.’
With that thought, as he approached the toilet, a message appeared.
Ding.
[Defecation]
As Almond reached his hand toward it….
The screen went black.
And classical music began to play.

* * *
Whoooosh…!
The screen, which had darkened for a moment, brightened with the sound of water.
Ding.
[Refreshed Mood]
A positive status appeared for the first time.
But Almond was uneasy.
-Ugh lol
-I saw it~ I saw it~
-lololol
How am I so embarrassed ㅠㅠ
-Splash (physical)
Haha, I admit it. You’re a real streamer~
‘What is this. Did it really air?’
It seemed something had been broadcast while the screen was black.
Heat rushed to Almond’s face.
Without hesitation, he immediately left the Capsule.

* * *
Shhhhk.
The custom-fitted Capsule opens like living cells, and Sanghyeon bursts out with an urgent expression.
“Hey, hey Juhyeok!”
Juhyeok’s back trembles slightly.
Pffft….
This bastard. He’s laughing.
“Hey!”
“Puhahahaha!”
Juhyeok Kim spins his chair around and laughs like a madman.
“You’re a broadcasting genius.”
Sanghyeon’s face turns beet red. Seeing even Juhyeok react like that, it must have really looked that way.
“D-did I really come out!?”
“Ehehehehehe!”
“No. This game is seriously too much….”
Almond’s exasperated voice echoes through the studio and seeps into the microphone inside the Capsule.
Hahaha I’m going crazy haha
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
A voice that’s completely given up lol
-This is clip material
What do I do, she’s seriously so damn cute lol
Haha, that’s so bad/evil
I really want to bite you hard lol
At those words, Juhyeok clutches his stomach and bursts into laughter.
“Hey. Look at this.”
He gestures toward the computer screen. The scene of Almond rushing into the Restroom plays.
Sanghyeon’s eyes wavered. Did he really have to watch himself doing ‘that’ with his own eyes?
While squinting, the screen goes dark and classical music plays.
‘?’
Soon the sound of flushing follows, and the screen returns. Then Almond’s face, flushed red, suddenly logs out.
hahahahahaha
That’s so funny lol
-Almond is so cute
Ha, so you’re still a newbie after all!? ㅋㅋㅋㅎㅎ
Damn. I fell for it.
Sanghyeon’s anger surged, but relief was far greater.
“Phew.”
Sanghyeon exhales an audible sigh of relief, so profound it escapes his lips.
Phew, haha.
-Almond is really lovable
-What do I do lol
-You actually believe that lol
“This game must be well-made. You fall for everything like this.”
Just as Juhyeok chuckled, the realism of this game was absolutely insane.
Despite not wanting to believe it until the end, I couldn’t shake the nagging doubt that maybe, just maybe, this game could actually make it happen.
It was clearly nonsensical when thinking about it rationally.
The hyper-realistic school environment surrounding me, the zombies pounding on the door, and the chat window overflowing with nonsense.
More than enough elements to cause cognitive dissonance.
‘Seriously, why won’t anyone tell me the truth?’
Sanghyeon stared at the chat with resentful eyes.
[Current Viewers: 19,000]
It was amazing how 19,000 viewers could all joke around so single-mindedly like that.
‘Anyway, the viewer count really went up.’
I hadn’t noticed while absorbed in the game, but the viewers had increased quite a bit.
When I started this game, it was only in the early 10,000s.
-Is this really the broadcast where you poop in the game?
-Do you really poop better than our gum hyung?
-Almond! Come back! Show us one more time!
The chat was filled with nothing but teasing.
“Looks like your clip already spread somewhere and people came flooding in.”
According to Juhyeok, the viewers started increasing from when I rushed to the bathroom needing to defecate, and now it’s at its peak.
Almond had blown it here.
The angle of recklessness.
“Well. Everyone. That was fun, right?”
-???
-Huh?
-No. It wasn’t fun. Keep going.
What’s wrong, are you mad? lol I’m sorry
I’m sorry ㅠㅠ
