The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 163
57. A New Game (2)
Kingdom ranked first in the voting.
First place in the voting certainly meant something….
But in reality, Kingdom Age was absolutely not a game that enjoyed this level of popularity.
Then why was it first?
-Ah, it’s gotta be the classic Kingdom lolol
-Classic voting vibes
-Now they’re pushing fantasy entertainment where you fly through the sky and shoot pew pew!? Back in our day! We had! Kingdom, plain and simple!
In Almond’s channel, Kingdom had become the kind of game that belonged in the top 10 essential classics you absolutely had to play.
As you know, Kingdom was an unpopular game, one that only enthusiasts enjoyed.
Yet the reason it ranked first was because of this channel’s meme culture.
-King~~~ dom!
-Kingdom’s archer Almond!
-King~ you can’t beat me! ~dom
At first, it was certainly the enthusiasts who wanted Kingdom and used these phrases.
But other people started spamming these memes, turning it into a kind of ‘game’ itself.
Among the thousands of people who voted for Kingdom right now, honestly about eighty percent don’t even know what Kingdom actually is.
「This can’t really be considered genuine opinion」
I made it clear to Almond.
If we treat this as actual public sentiment, we’re in trouble.
There’s a high chance that viewers will drop off significantly once we actually start playing Kingdom Age.
It would be better for us to play a game that has continuity from our perspective.
「We have Lilzandi’s collaboration coming up soon, and the Avatar of Ril is coming out too. It’d be good to play some Ril to match that」
So the decision came down to Ril.
Jetpumped is an attractive game too, but we can always play it later.
However, Ril was a game that received considerable attention even at the awards ceremony, so the new viewers who came through the ceremony will likely want to see Ril.
That’s why Ril was chosen.
[Life is Legend]
[Launching…]
-Yo, this is insane
-Why did you even vote then lolol
-Is this a hidden ad for Ril? Huh? Just say so!
[Byeolggattunji donated 3,000 won.]
Lol I never said I’d make you first place lololol
“Byeolggattunji, you’re absolutely right.”
-Byeolggattunji lololol
-What’s tunji lol
I’m dying laughing
-A grasshopper? lol
The topic shifted in an instant.
In this opening, Almond fully logged into Ril’s world.
“It’s been a while.”
Almond entered Ril’s basic world.
I gazed around, lost in nostalgia.
“For now, I’ll try the story mode rather than survival mode. I need to get more familiar with the Rubisword.”
-Okay
-Good
-Rubisword 3-star clear is pretty tough though…
“Since I’m going anyway, I’ll check out the other avatars. My affinity must have dropped since I haven’t visited in so long.”
-Ooooh
-Reinaaaa
-Sisterrrr
Please take a look at -rando too ㅠㅠ
Almond, worried that his affinity had declined over time, headed toward the interaction hall.
[Welcome to the Interaction Hall.]
A soothing voice greeted me.
The sound of waterfall mist, the chirping of birds, and warm sunlight welcomed Almond.
I first searched for Reina, my primary avatar.
“….”
Finding Reina didn’t take long.
She was already perched on a large rock right in front of the entrance.
But she was just staring off in another direction without saying a word.
This atmosphere feels cold.
“Reina. It’s been a while.”
“….”
Reina didn’t even glance at me. As if I didn’t exist.
Gasp lol
Got mad lol
I’m dying laughing lol
-Our Mond’s in trouble
I spoke into the viewer microphone channel.
“Hmm. What could… this phenomenon be?”
Someone answered through a donation.
[Dehaep’s Top Dog donated 1,000 won.]
[This is… what? Did you just call our Reina, you fool? Aren’t you afraid of Dehaep?]
lol so funny
-Crush the fanatics!
That’s so funny lolololol
What’s with the voice sync lol
-Sigh…
Haha.
Almond chuckled awkwardly and waited for the next piece of information.
An unavoidable laugh lol
-Social laughter
-Haha…^^
-Extroverts wouldn’t understand. Reina, dump that guy.
[Not Dehaep donated 5,000 won.]
[Reina’s affinity can only be raised through gameplay, so if you don’t visit often, she gets upset. Plus, the higher Reina’s affinity, the stronger her resistance becomes.]
lol
-Tsundere algorithm
-Expert has arrived
-Almond uses favorability, not affinity though?
“Ah. Thanks for the info, Dehaep.”
-???
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to contain non-standard Korean characters, corrupted text, or internet slang/typos that don’t form coherent words in standard Korean.
I can’t translate this as it doesn’t appear to be valid Korean text. The characters seem to be a random or corrupted combination that doesn’t form meaningful words.
-But it’s not Dehaep…
Hahahaha lol
Almond moved closer to Reina.
He wanted to soothe her.
“Reina. I’ll take care of something else first, then we’ll head to the battlefield together. Just wait a bit.”
“…”
Reina continued to act as if she couldn’t see Almond.
Then.
“Ah! Lady Reina! You were here? You suddenly rushed off earlier, so I wondered where you went… huh?”
It was Ran.
He came rushing over with wool clinging all over his clothes.
Now that I looked, Reina’s blue cloak was also covered in wool.
“Ah, Master Almond! It’s been a while!”
Once Ran’s affinity was built up, it seemed to stick around, as he greeted brightly.
“Ah. Ran. It’s been a long time.”
Hehe.
Ran approached with a smile, seemingly delighted that Almond had come. He was like a loyal dog breed.
“Were you grooming wool again?”
“Yes. It’s my hobby. Lady Reina wanted to try it too, so I was teaching her. But she suddenly ran off at an incredibly fast speed. So…”
Reina was glaring at Ran as if she could kill him with her eyes.
“…Uh… I’m worried about the sheep.”
Ran immediately left his spot.
No, did Reina really run over and come here? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh, so adorable
Don’t do that ㅠㅠㅠ please don’t ㅠㅠㅠ
So Reina ran over like crazy but then just sat there keeping a cold expression?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I was breathing slightly heavily, it seemed. Almond chuckled as if he’d finally figured out what had happened.
“…It’s all a lie.”
“?”
“What Ran said. It’s all a lie!”
Reina said this and disappeared into the forest with her face flushed red.
It seemed to be an established fact that the higher Reina’s intimacy level, the greater her emotional fluctuations.
However, even as she turned and ran away, she made sure to add this one thing.
“Keep your promise!”
She was referring to the promise to come back and play with me again.
I gotta do Reina for sure lol
-???: Are you going to do Rubisword story mode?
-Yep~ I’m going to do Rubisword~
[Dehaep donated 10,000 won.]
[we do not forget. we do not forgive]
That’s so dramatic lol
No, seriously? Is that all? ㅋㅋㅋ
I can hear the sound of teeth grinding all the way over here lol
We do not forgive lol
Why are you sponsoring again lol
“Dehaep, thank you for the 10,000 won donation. Then let me go visit Swift of the Rubisword. It seems he hasn’t come out to greet me since we’re not close yet.”
The intimacy standards of the divine beings varied from person to person.
Some would quickly gain affection if you gave them gifts, while others required frequent meetings and conversations.
“Contractor. The Reckless Warrior, is it? It’s been a while.”
I’m a crazy fool lol
Oh right, this was the ID ㅋㅋ
-Only Ran and Reina call him Almond, wow…
-Upper body exposed what
-He was a tattoo enthusiast
Keeeeing. Keeing.
Swift was sharpening the blade of his sword.
He seemed to be quite sensitive to heat, as he had removed his upper garment.
His muscular, toned torso was covered with tattoos here and there. Something about it was threatening.
He asked without even bothering to turn toward Almond.
“What brings you here?”
Almond knew well what conditions were necessary to hear the story mode of the Rubisword.
“A duel.”
Swift finally turned to face Almond.

* * *
I had built up quite a bit of intimacy with Rubisword as well.
But with so few playthroughs, it disappeared in no time.
The fortunate part was that Rubisword, like Reina, was an incarnation that could build intimacy based on skill alone.
And there was one method to raise his intimacy the fastest.
‘They said sparring is a one-hit wonder.’
It was sparring, precisely.
Winning in sparring builds intimacy in an instant.
Isn’t it more like submission than intimacy?
Anyway, this wasn’t easy.
Rubisword in sparring mode possessed Master-level or higher skill.
Yet Almond boldly requested a sparring match.
“Let’s spar.”
“…?”
At such a direct statement, even Rubisword hesitated for a moment.
Is this a shounen manga? lol
-Let’s spar. Vermin.
-Shonen manga cool indifferent guy sub material
Rubisword smiled with scorn.
“You’ve barely ever coordinated with me before.”
-???
-What’s this ungrateful shake saying
-Is it a bug?
There was no bug in Rubisword’s memory cells.
Except for the plays I did on the tournament server, I had never actually played Rubisword.
No matter how impressive that play was, since it was on the tournament server, the incarnations didn’t recognize it as proper data.
To build proper data with the incarnations, ranked matches on the official server were the most reliable method.
[AlmondChocolate donated 1,000 won.]
Ah haha, I’ve never actually used it except on the competition server haha
-Ah…
Yeah, that’s how it was lol
Oh, so you’ve never played Solo Rank before lol
Thanks to the donation, the viewers quickly understood.
I looked directly at Rubisword and requested a sparring match again.
“It doesn’t matter if we’ve never coordinated. Let’s spar.”
-Ooh~
-???: I’ll help you regain your memory
-One hit and you’ll remember everything~ Rubisword~
Rubisword didn’t even accurately remember who his opponent before him was.
I wore a slight smile.
“Yeah. That’s good to hear. Take it.”
Whoosh.
I handed the sword I’d been sharpening to Almond.
“We’ll start right away.”
Uuuuung…!
Was I perhaps a bit irritated?
A black void space instantly swallowed us both, transforming into a training ground.
The divine spirits playing nearby all rushed over to watch.
Woooow.
“Ho. A sparring match?”
“Whoa?! Contractor! Isn’t that too hasty? That Rubisword mister doesn’t hold back at all!”
From Honryeongsa Melly, who radiated an ominous aura, to Storm Ninja Haruky, who grinned with anticipation.
Reina naturally attended as well.
She sat perched on a distant tree, out of sight.
Whoosh.
Swift, the Rubisword master, lightly spun his blade and stepped forward.
We stood off for a moment, searching for an opening.
Almond also tried to adapt by swinging his sword casually.
‘?’
Something felt off.
It had been far too long since I’d wielded the Rubisword’s blade.
“Wait. It’s been so long that─”
──Clang!
Before I could finish speaking, sparks erupted.
Swift’s blade had thrust toward my face, and I blocked it.
-See, no mercy lol
-If it’s been a while, you should get hit~~
Hahaha nut shake hahaha juicer
Clang!
Clang!
I retreated and blocked while Swift pressed forward in a relentless assault.
Tap-tap-tap.
Swift took a step to close the distance even deeper.
I spotted the opening and surged forward for the first time.
Thwack.
My opponent would be bewildered as the gap suddenly closed at twice the speed.
Swoooosh!
Red blood scattered.
“Woooow!”
The roar of the crowd jolted Almond’s mind awake from its momentary daze.
Our pupils dilated in unison, locking onto each other.
Mirrored across both our gazes was the same wound etched upon each face.
“You’re worth using, Reckless Warrior.”
Swift grins, his face smeared with blood.
Whoosh.
Another blade materialized from his other hand.
-Ooooh
-Level 6 Rubisword
-Now it truly begins
Whoosh.
A second blade manifested in my grip as well.
The sensation was becoming familiar now.
I wiped the blood from my knuckles as I spoke.
“Hah. Now I’m starting to remember.”
Ah. I’d spoken without switching the microphone channel.
It seemed the words had leaked into the game broadcast.
“Hmph. All talk.”
-All talk lmaooo
-Lolol
-What a jab lol
I added my retort.
“I’m serious though.”
“Whether your memory is real or not changes nothing.”
My expression hardened for a moment.
I spoke without bothering to switch the microphone channel.
“Time to establish some discipline.”
-Lololololol
-Lmaooo
-That’s not what the chat means though?
-OK let’s establish some serious discipline!
-Gggg
Hmph.
Swift sneered.
“Then come!”
Without hesitation, we both hurled our blades forward.
Whoooosh!
Four swords crisscrossed through the air in a deadly dance.
Crackle──!
[Blink]
The two figures vanish in an instant.
