The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 166
58. Swift (2)
Almond started the story mode for Swift the Blink Swordsman.
This news naturally spread to Ril Community, Rilpro.
[Blinking Sword Boss Story Mode Start ㄷㄷ]
This provocative post became the signal flare.
People who hadn’t tried Rilpro might wonder what was so provocative about it.
But calling the Blink Swordsman a “legend” was essentially a nuclear-level provocation in terms of North-South relations.
-??
-So where’s the legend then
-Him?
“Why is that streamer still uploading? Stop it lol”
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. The characters “-캬 ㅇㅈ” don’t form standard Korean words – they appear to be either incomplete, corrupted, or non-standard text.
What about electromagnetic waves?
Because the eternal legend of the Blink Swordsman was Jeon-ja-pa.
Even those factions that didn’t acknowledge it would explode with rage if someone with less renown than Jeon-ja-pa used such words.
Of course, thanks to this provocative wording, all the attention was drawn in.
-Is he playing Ril again?
-Almond came back to Ril!?!?!?!
That dog runs like crazy.
More and more people began to understand it by focusing on Almond’s return to Ril rather than the phrase “Blink Swordsman legend.”
The news spread like wildfire.
Stop watching Almond Reel and hit the block button on people you haven’t seen in a while lol
[If you’re a true Ril Jingoo who waited for Doraemonde to come, hit the big button]
And so on.
Posts like these began appearing at the top of Bigpro.
This soon translated to Almond’s viewers.
[Current viewers: 35,000]
He broke through the 35,000 viewer threshold that he hadn’t easily reached before.
And this was before even clearing the first star.
This wasn’t simply the viewer count from Almond restarting Ril.
“You guys are saying that I’m gonna go have a one-on-one fight with the electromagnetic wave hyung lol”
[So this becomes Jeon-ja-pa vs Almond?]
[If Jeon-ja-pa really has the data, this is gonna be so fun]
A rumor that the boss in Swift the Blink Swordsman’s story mode possessed Jeon-ja-pa’s data.
Many Rilpro users understood it as a setup where Almond would face off against Jeon-ja-pa because of this.
Electromagnetic waves vs whatever lol, it’s been a while since we’ve had a Korean soup content
Whenever it became a showdown with Jeon-ja-pa, it always drew attention.
[Jeon-ja-pa vs roughly whatever]
This kind of thing had even become a meme at one point.
So naturally, Almond drew everyone’s attention.
Of course, there were people who saw it differently.
[Is an AI that accumulated data the same as Jeon-ja-pa? lol]
[It’s not a real match anyway, what’s all the hype about]
[Jeon-ja-pa’s record is a joke lol]
Of course, they were right—I wasn’t directly competing against anyone.
But then an interesting argument emerged.
[Jeon-ja-pa couldn’t even match his own data if he played now lol]
[Isn’t what Almond’s doing the real match? It’s probably Jeon-ja-pa’s record from his prime]
Records accumulated during Jeon-ja-pa’s golden era.
The claim that competing against those was actually more valuable than directly facing Jeon-ja-pa right now.
It was quite persuasive.
“Whether that’s true or not. It’s convincing enough.”
Juhyeok tapped Enter and closed the Community window.
“We got quite a bit of attention.”
My eyes gazed at the current viewer count with satisfaction.
[Current Viewers: 37,000]
The number had increased by another two thousand.
Choosing the Swift the Blink Swordsman story mode was definitely the right call.

* * *
“Hey. Hold up a second.”
Almond stopped Swift’s party, who were about to pass by.
More precisely, I stopped Swift, who was the leader.
“What?”
Swift spun around and asked.
I held out a Rune to show him.
“A Rune.”
I could have demonstrated acceleration by using the Rune.
‘Too wasteful.’
That would be too wasteful.
I don’t even know what ability it grants, and Runes are one-time use. Using it just to show off the ability would be foolish.
The moment I reveal it, I’ll lose that ability.
Instead, I planned to claim my future usefulness by simply showing them the Rune.
“…A Rune?”
Swift’s eyes widened slightly.
The children behind him murmured in excitement.
‘Just as I thought.’
I knew this would work. Swift had said it himself—Rune boxes only drop in places influenced by the Sacred Ground.
From what I could gather, the Sacred Ground was somewhere deep underground in this dungeon, difficult to even reach.
Since this Rune Box only drops within that influence, it naturally becomes something rare.
And I obtained something from that rare Rune Box.
“You threw away a weapon and chose a Rune?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s a genuinely stupid choice. You should’ve at least picked shoes instead.”
‘Shoes weren’t even an option…’
Almond’s expression twisted.
hahahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
hahahahahaha
The chat window was flooded with laughter.
“Runes are meant to enhance ‘permitted weapons.’ On their own, they’re nothing but single-use party tricks. There’s no efficiency in it.”
“….”
Almond remained silent.
His eyes were no longer on Swift, but on the chat window.
Oops, be careful or you’ll get banned ㅋㅋ
-Purge them!
Looking for purge targets lol
I was considering making an example of one suitable viewer.
Swift asks.
“What’s the point of showing us such a Rune? Are you trying to offer us tribute or something?”
“No. It’s proof that I’ll be useful.”
“If you’d said it the other way around, you certainly would’ve proven it. We’re leaving. From what I can tell, you’re not even suspicious—just lacking. I won’t kill you.”
Swift turned around and walked away again.
Tap.
He paused for a moment, then turned back to look at me.
“If you call me back again, you die. I’ll kill you as many times as it takes.”
“….”
Whoosh.
Swift truly turned and disappeared.
Almond offered this commentary.
“I don’t like his personality.”
Don’t you think -nim made it that way?ㅋㅋㅋ
lol that’s crazy
-He doesn’t usually mess with people that much
It’s funny though, why are you laughing?
The viewers were thrilled to see Almond, who always received nothing but praise from the divine beings, finally getting teased.
[User donated 3,000 won.]
[Do you regret not reading the description now? Hahaha]
A viewer even donated just to mock him.
“Yes, thank you for the donation.”
-Yes, I regret it lol
-Yeah~ here you go gulp~
-lmao did you get mad
I want to bite you so badly ㅠㅠㅠ
“Still, there seems to be a way. Swift saved my life, after all.”
-lol for real
-what a gentleman
-Swift really is a gentleman lolol
Almond muttered something like a self-help book quote—as long as there’s breath, there’s opportunity—and followed in the footsteps of Swift’s party.

* * *
Following Swift and his party members wasn’t particularly difficult.
They either thoroughly underestimated me or showed no signs of caution. Perhaps they lacked the ability to detect surveillance. Either way, they were just children after all.
Rustle.
I hid in the brush and observed their movements.
Nothing special. They seemed to be heading somewhere, but I couldn’t tell if they knew the exact route or were just wandering aimlessly.
‘Is there actually a method to finding the sanctuary?’
This place was called the “First Floor,”
but to my eyes, it was a dark, desolate, and vast forest.
Where in this place was the entrance to the next level….
[User donated 10,000 won.]
[We just started. Should we just restart?]
-lololololol for real
-Just pick a weapon lol
-Hey. For me, runes are murder. Shut up.
“…Thank you for the 10,000 won.”
I gave a brief reply and fixed my gaze back on Swift.
‘Just give me one chance.’
I was watching for an opening.
Then─
Splash.
“!?”
I accidentally stepped into a puddle.
“….”
I held my breath and flattened myself against the ground. My upper body got soaked, but I didn’t care.
‘Did they notice?’
Fortunately, thanks to lying flat, the enemies(?) didn’t catch on.
With so many monsters scattered throughout this place, they didn’t seem to pay attention to such trivial sounds.
‘Phew.’
Almond examined the puddle without saying anything to the viewers.
‘How far does this extend?’
He didn’t want to step in the water anymore.
Looking more carefully, it wasn’t a puddle at all—it was the size of a pond, or perhaps even a lake.
Across the lake’s surface, smooth as a glass mirror, the ripples I had created earlier spread outward slowly.
Only then could I see something for the first time.
My own body.
“…?”
Rather, I should say I could see my body reflected.
My physique visible through the thin, soaked fabric.
Beneath it, delicate, well-defined musculature was evident.
It was an impressive body for a child.
That alone was strange enough.
‘What are these characters?’
Were there characters inscribed on my body?
-*#*%&
-Oh
-He’s a tattoo enthusiast
-*#(*@@
-Isn’t that the rapper Lil’ Motherfuckin’ Swift?
Spoiler-laden chat messages were being filtered out.
‘Something….’
Almond sensed it instinctively.
There was something here.
Even more so than when I encountered Swift.
I pulled out a faintly glowing Rune from my pocket.
ԽՀՁՂծՐծֆբՀՁ
The characters I examined closely.
‘They’re similar.’
I couldn’t read the Rune’s characters.
But the feeling was similar.
‘Huh?’
As if I’d discovered something, I checked the information window.
[Rune of Acceleration – Winferestin]
‘Winferestin in alphabet….’
I focused on the alphabet.
Eleven characters.
ԽՀՁՂծՐծֆբՀՁ
This text also had eleven characters.
And there were two e’s, two n’s, and two i’s.
The positions matched exactly.
In other words, they corresponded like this.
“This seems to be a one-to-one correspondence with the alphabet.”
Almond said this and drew on the ground with a nearby twig.
W → Խ
I → Հ
N → Ձ
F → Ղ
E → ծ
R → Ր
S → ֆ
T → բ
Just as I thought.
Each letter corresponded one-to-one with the alphabet.
With this, deciphering the text wasn’t difficult.
-Creepy
-Hodu maha spin
-Is Almond taking a break tomorrow?
-Kyaa
-For real?
-Dude got a rune and already doing this lol
Ahem.
Almond chuckled for a moment, admiring the chat, then.
I looked back at my own body.
“Let me see if there’s anything I can decipher with this.”
My eyes darted back and forth for a while before finding a single character.
ֆԽՀՂբ
S W I F T
“Swift?”
Swift.
The name of the Blink Swordsman.
Why was it written on my body?
Ding.
[You’ve taken one step closer to Memory (★★).]
