The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 191
66. Aftermath (1)
The flapping of wings continued.
I passed through the layer of roots, then the layer of the trunk, and finally the layer of leaves.
I soared above the earth.
Yet the flapping did not cease.
It was beyond my will.
‘Is this a cutscene?’
This body had already slipped beyond Almond’s control.
It seemed the possession had been lifted.
As I continued to ascend, at some point I stopped flapping.
This too was beyond my will.
Suddenly, as if a brake had been applied, I halted.
Crack—
The wings suddenly burst apart. Blades scattered in all directions.
The force that had been holding me vanished. It was likely the power granted by the Sanctuary. That power was gone.
‘I’ve come so far.’
My consciousness grew hazy.
My vision blurred.
Blue sky and white clouds, green trees, a crimson sun, scarlet sand—all blended together like paint. The world spun round and round, faster and faster.
Crash!
Then came a violent impact.
I had fallen.

* * *
My vision darkened for a moment.
Then it returned.
‘Where am I?’
In the middle of some unfamiliar foreign land. A yellow desert.
Upon that sandy ground, a human lay sprawled.
‘What?’
I realized it then.
The human lying before my eyes was that archaeologist.
‘My perspective has changed.’
I was looking down at the archaeologist. In third person.
In other words, I had now separated from his body.
‘Is he dead?’
The archaeologist, whom I was seeing directly for the first time, was utterly mangled.
His entire body was covered in wounds, and dried blood clung to his face.
His clothes, blackened with soot, were so charred it was impossible to discern their original color.
Already a pitiful sight, the desert sand clinging to him made his condition seem even more wretched.
“Haa… ugh…”
He writhed in apparent agony. Fortunately, he seemed to still be alive.
But he didn’t appear to be conscious. His movements were merely reflexive nerve responses.
Clip-clop. Clip-clop.
The sound of camel hooves echoed through the sandstorm.
“Father! There’s a person collapsed here!”
A youthful voice crying out urgently.
And then the scene transitions.

* * *
The archaeologist pushed himself upright.
His eyes were clouded with confusion.
“Ah. You’ve awakened?”
The old man who had saved him smiled kindly.
“You were collapsed in the middle of the desert.”
“You saved me. Thank you. I am….”
The man attempting to introduce himself faltered.
“What’s wrong?”
“My memory… I can’t recall it. My name….”
“Your name?”
The old man clicked his tongue sympathetically, his white eyebrows twitching.
“A name is no problem. But you’re saying you don’t remember anything from your past life either?”
“That’s correct.”
“Well, this is troublesome….”
The old man pondered for a moment, then went into his room and returned with something.
Two swords. They didn’t appear to be blades used in the desert.
“These two swords. You were carrying them. The name written here is probably yours, isn’t it?”
“Ah….”
“Sw…ift. It says Swift.”
That was right.
Those blades belonged to Swift. Since he had fought with them until the very end, he must have carried them out as they were.
“I’ll return the swords once your body has fully recovered, Swift.”
And so, the archaeologist came to be called Swift.
The story mode ended there.
The screen gradually darkened, and we returned to that moment when I first conversed with Swift.
“That story was quite long.”
Swift, who had been sitting across from me, turned away and rose to his feet.
“After that, I lived as Swift for a long time. I was always curious about who I was, where I came from. So I became an archaeologist to decipher the characters written on my body. It was my only clue.”
-Wow, that’s crazy
-He really became an archaeologist.
-What??
“And when I was finally able to decipher all the characters written on my body, I could infer that all of this was happening in a place called the ‘Abyss.’ I wanted to find Luna again.”
Just as I thought.
The instinct I felt when Almond came flying with wings was correct.
“And as I entered, I realized. I could do nothing with my own strength. In the end, I had to act according to what was written on my body once more.”
He consumed potions again, borrowed someone’s strength again, and tried to find Luna once more.
“How many times did this repeat? Whether by misfortune or fortune, at some point I fortunately remembered. That this was all repeating over and over.”
“….”
“Those administrators—no matter how many times I killed them, new replacements came to take their place. Whenever I filled one shrine’s power completely, another shrine would take its place. Luna’s speculation was correct. The goal was to fill all the shrines’ power from the beginning. Trash.”
Swift laughed bitterly.
“Now I’ve become part of that trash too.”
“Then Luna….”
“She’s dead in the end. If you die in the Holy Sanctum’s chamber, you survive. But if someone who isn’t a Contractor dies before that, it’s over. Just dead.”
“….”
“Isn’t it strange that she survived all those iterations? Anyway, after she died… there were no cases where escaping the Abyss made memories disappear. Oddly enough.”
I’m crying / I’m so sad
Oh my god, seriously?
-This can’t be real
-Why did those bastard Polices make the story like this
-Save Luna!
Luna ultimately died within the Abyss.
Despite multiple rescue attempts, she continued to send Jingoo out before herself.
In the end, she was never saved.
“Those letters—did Luna really write them?”
Almond asked.
Swift fell silent for a moment.
“It doesn’t matter. I just wanted to save Luna. And I failed. That’s all there is to it.”
Even if Luna had manipulated him through those letters, he would have wanted to save her.
Perhaps he loved her.
‘I see.’
Now that Almond could roughly read Rune script, it was visible to his eyes.
Most of the other tattoos had been replaced with different letters.
‘Find Luna’
Only those words—find Luna—remained unchanged.
Swift said the story was truly over now and returned to his seat.
[Story Mode Clear!]
[★★★ Obtained!]
Only then did the signal come confirming the Story Mode was completely finished.
[As a reward, a specific skill has been enhanced.]
The skill enhancement reward for clearing with three stars followed.
[The damage type of skill ‘Sword Force’ changes to True Damage.]
-Wow
-This is kinda broken
-Nice
-Damage is insane
True Damage.
A terrifying damage type that ignores the opponent’s defense and reduces health exactly as stated.
Especially since Sword Force deals damage proportional to the enemy’s lost health, if that becomes True Damage, it would deal considerable damage.
The rewards didn’t end there.
Interestingly, there was one additional skin reward.
[Special Quest Completed!]
[You have received a Special Item Skin Reward.]
Special quest completed?
I had no recollection of completing anything like this. It must have slipped by during the gameplay.
“Oh….”
[You can now use the new sword ‘Luna’.]
One of the two swords that Rubisword uses had been replaced with a sword called ‘Luna’.
This blade’s appearance was distinctly different from the one I had been using.
The characters ‘LUNA’ were clearly engraved on the blade’s spine.
-Wow
-Oh the design is so pretty
-Wow what’s this limited skin!?
-Is this real??? What is this?
Luna ㅠㅠㅠ
Now I had received all the rewards.
I declared that everything was finally complete.
“The story mode is all finished? Then let me settle the mission….”
I finally pressed the success button for the ‘Nodes 3-Star Clear’ mission.
-Kyaa
I’m crying laughing at this salty comment lol
-Chiki-cha~
However, the settlement didn’t process immediately.
Ding!
[Rubisword has donated 100,000 won!]
[Wow congratulations! That was such a long and intense battle!]
“Ah. Rubisword, thank you so much for the 100,000 won donation.”
[Bou has donated 10,000 won.]
[Kyaa~ Nodes 3-Star is real?]
“Ah. Bou, thank you. Why isn’t the settlement going through? I think there’s lag from the donations piling up.”
Sponsor flex lol
Settlement time with -ㅋㅋㅋ
-This is almost jackpot level
The sponsorship messages aren’t showing up because they’re backed up lol
-Is there a place where you line up to give money!? Whoosh zoom!?
The donations congratulating me for finishing the story mode were arriving far ahead of the mission success notification.
[Thisworks has donated 50,000 won!]
[Congrats congrats! What’s the next part 1 game!?]
[Dorajingu has donated 10,000 won!]
[The story mode was so fun~ Do it again~~]
[Gamja has donated 10,000 won!]
[Luna ㅠㅠ save her ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
.
.
.
And so on.
I had to receive a backlog of donations for quite some time.

* * *
“Ahhhhh! Lunaaaaaaa!!!”
King Gul began wailing into the microphone.
-My ears
-King Gul, you’re like an attention-seeker.
lol the expression is so funny
As King Gul grieved more than expected, someone with suspicions made a donation.
[Narag has donated 10,000 won.]
[Isn’t this talking about a different Luna?]
Investment failure? lol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-Sister-in-law! Over here!
-Hidden foreign girlfriend?
-That would be it.
“Ah. Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Narag! It’s not like that~!”
King Gul brushed off the suspicions and changed the subject.
“Ah. Anyway, that was fun. I originally came here to commentate on a Civil Empire rank-climbing expedition today. But I ended up doing this too. It’s great. I even got my juice back~”
-Do it again
-I never thought you’d stick a straw into story mode too, King Gul
-Successfully re-sipped the juice with a straw
“No. A straw? Re-sipping juice with a straw… Puhaha. Insane.”
King Gul laughed for a while, finding it funny himself.
Hahaha
-His juice, recovered after all these years…
-The mandarin juice expedition ends here~
-But it’s a shame the time fighting Jeon-ja-pa’s memory wasn’t that long
-How do you feel about finding the mandarin juice?
The juice the viewers were going on about refers to the tears King Gul had shed.
More precisely, the tears he shed back when Jeon-ja-pa was a rookie in his debut year, after getting thoroughly beaten by Jeon-ja-pa’s Rubisword.
Now I was happy that I had avenged him for that.
“Ah. Anyway, finding the juice. I feel great.”
[Yongbali has donated 3,000 won.]
Looking at how they’re doing this with their own data, even electromagnetic waves would probably find it ridiculous and laugh lol
hahaha for real
Yeah, haha
Hahahahaha
“Hey, Yongbali. Thank you for the 3,000 won donation. But wait, what’s that reward Almond got?”
King Gul shifted the topic to the reward Almond had received.
“He got a sword skin? Do we even have something like that? I think that’s probably it, right? It seems connected to what Luna took the hit for instead, doesn’t it?”
-Yeah
-Seems like it
-First time seeing it
-Ah, it must be because Luna refused and he survived
-Wow, I’m jealous
According to King Gul and his viewers, that sword skin engraved with the name Luna wasn’t originally a reward meant to be given.
“Wow. This is kind of… strong, isn’t it? I think it’s going to become an issue, right?”
First of all, the fact that you even cleared Nodes 3 stars is already hilarious lol
-That’s plausible
-Already spreading on overseas sites
-Almond skyrocketing again? Then does Gul skyrocket with him!?
-Does Almond’s coin skyrocket?!
“It might not skyrocket, but he’ll definitely get quite a bit of attention, right?”
As he said this, King Gul casually checked Almond’s viewer count.
His eyes went wide and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Ah… no.”
-??
-Why?
-What’s he trying to say now
-He’s being dramatic again
The people didn’t know what had shocked King Gul.
“The cursed 40,000… .”
Only when King Gul cried out like this could they understand.
“The cursed 40,000 cut! Breaking through 40,000! Almond~!!”
-?
-40,000 viewers!?
lol
Why am I even explaining this lolol
I can’t translate this as it’s not a coherent Korean phrase – it appears to be keyboard characters/symbols rather than actual words.
-4 million… they cut it… that’s crazy
-Wow the growth rate is insane
Almond had single-handedly broken through his first 40,000 viewers.
