The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 9
4. Who is Dotorimuk? (1)
[You have successfully subjugated the demonic bandits.]
After eliminating all the fleeing demonic bandits, a brief cutscene played. The nobleman who had commissioned the Mercenary Group was lavishing praise on Almond, declaring that he would remember his name. It was a touching moment.
And from one side of the nobleman’s carriage, a blonde young lady was staring intently at Almond with piercing eyes.
She seemed to be the heroine of this work, but Sanghyeon had no time to pay attention to that.
[Dotorimuk has donated 100,000 won.]
[Perfect shot all the way… Is this real?]
It was because of the donation that had just come in.
The chat’s reaction was unusual.
It was the typical response that usually appeared when someone famous showed up.
‘Dotorimuk? Is that someone famous?’
After finishing the shooting sequence, Sanghyeon quietly gazed at the donation window.
For a newcomer climbing up so well, it was strange to have a celebrity appear on a broadcast watched by only about two hundred people.
Moreover, the amount was substantial.
‘100,000 won…’
A whopping 100,000 won donation. Considering that donations usually started from 1,000 won, it was quite a significant sum.
Judging by how they threw it out from the start, this was definitely not an ordinary viewer.
-No reaction?
Haha, yeah, if someone suddenly comes in with 100,000 won, it would definitely catch you off guard.
-It’s not a female streamer, what kind of reaction? Show your reaction by shooting the bow.
Hahaha the reaction is so active haha
The viewers teased Sanghyeon, who sat quietly in a daze.
‘Ah… Reaction.’
Only then did Sanghyeon realize he needed to give a reaction.
‘I hadn’t thought about it.’
He honestly hadn’t expected donations to come in yet, so naturally he hadn’t considered a reaction either.
“Um… A reaction…”
After thinking for a moment, Sanghyeon recalled a trick he used to do occasionally during his competitive days.
‘That’s funny and good.’
It was something amusing that could also showcase his archery skills—a kind of trick shot.
“I’ll give you a reaction. Let me show you something interesting.”
He nocked an arrow and aimed it toward the sky.
Then, after calculating the angle for a moment, he released the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew high into the sky and disappeared.
No, what? ㅋㅋㅋ Is shooting an arrow really the reaction?
I’m going crazy hahahaha
What is this? At least explain it before you shoot. lol
-Is this the donation reaction?
Sanghyeon spread both arms wide and shouted.
“Tada. The arrow disappears like ma——.”
Thunk!
Mid-sentence, an arrow lodged itself in the top of Sanghyeon’s head.
[Death]
Almond’s character died, and the game screen suddenly went pitch black.
The chat window erupted into laughter.
That’s not it lol
-Suicide show?
Crazy lolololol
-A man who dies for 100k won….
Just one shot to the crown of the head for 100,000 won lol
What are you doing lol for real ㅋㅋㅋ
Hahahahaha
‘The reaction is great.’
Up to this point, it was all intentional staging.
But then….
Beep….
Suddenly the Capsule malfunctioned, and both the game and stream shut down completely.
It seemed something had gone wrong with the old-generation Capsule.
“Huh?! Did it crash?”
Sanghyeon was flustered.
The game had crashed right when I was trying to give a proper reaction to the 100k won donation.
“What is this?”
Sanghyeon exited the Capsule. My face was flushed, and sweat drenched my hair. The internal temperature was a steamy 33.2 degrees Celsius.
This too was a problem stemming from the weak cooling function of the old-generation Capsule.
“Phew. There’s nothing I can do about it for now.”
Still, I had purchased the Capsule at an incredibly cheap price. I had no complaints.
‘But what about the stream?’
I was only concerned about the broadcast. I quickly turned the stream back on using my computer.
Fortunately, the chat window was still active.
What?! I’m dying laughing!
No, the reaction level is different lol
-This is contemporary art!
-????
-What?
In short, the chat window was mostly filled with “ㅋㅋㅋ” and “???” at that moment.
It was absolute chaos.
Sanghyeon typed in the chat.
[The game just crashed.]
First, I explained why I had disconnected.
-LMAOOOOO did you actually disconnect?
-Oh that’s hilarious KKKK
-You. You’ve got talent.
-Why did you disconnect KKKK
I didn’t know why I’d disconnected, but I had my suspicions.
[Ah, yes. I think my Capsule is a bit outdated…]
The viewers were holding their sides even harder at that explanation.
They realized that my disconnection wasn’t some clever bit—it was a genuine accident.
-Wait, so you actually disconnected? KKKK
-KKKKK legendary
-Real legendary KKKK
My lips curved upward too. I’d been a bit flustered by the broadcast accident just moments ago.
‘Actually, this is good.’
But now I didn’t feel that way anymore.
Come to think of it, accidents like this are actually beneficial for streamers. Isn’t it the same in variety shows? Comedians usually love when something like this happens.
They got a scene to use today.
What they call “viral-worthy material.” I’d just gotten that for free.
-Insane KKKK
-The broadcast gods are helping
-Headshot and out!
-Why did you even shoot the top of your head KKKK I genuinely don’t know
The chat reactions were incredibly positive.
‘At this rate… I don’t need to explain anything.’
I deleted the explanation I’d been typing.
[No, see, this is what it is. I used to mess around with this back in the day. You adjust the parabolic angle extremely precisely to hit the top of your own head. Of course, you’re supposed to do it without the arrow tip, but since this is a game…]
Tap tap tap.
I mashed the backspace key repeatedly.
[I’ll end the stream here for today.]
Then I said goodbye naturally and just left the room.
[Stream Ended]

* * *
Almond’s stream ended abruptly and without warning.
The viewers, suddenly left without direction, were left dumbfounded.
-No way lol this guy’s completely insane lol
-This is hilarious lol
-Is this really the end???
-What he shot with his bow was the broadcast itself….
-lololololol
-He was aiming the bow at the broadcast lol
-100k won reaction: sudden termination
-lol hitting him right on the crown of his head was genuinely hilarious
-And he still landed it perfectly lol
Ending right when it’s just a bit unsatisfying is actually more terrifying. Sanghyeon hadn’t intended it, but he’d created exactly that effect.
They wanted to keep watching Almond’s performance, but the sudden termination left them feeling frustrated instead.
-When’s the next broadcast?
-I didn’t even get to see him shoot the bow a few times.
I also came late after seeing Burka die and following the link ㅠㅠ
-I just arrived and suddenly an arrow hit his crown and the broadcast shut off lol
-lol this is so funny lol
-When’s the next broadcast? Does this guy have a set schedule?
That frustration at not being able to watch Almond’s performance gradually transformed into anticipation for the next broadcast.
-He streamed in the evening yesterday but did it at lunch today, so he’s definitely crazy lol
-Does whatever he wants lol
-Almond… you’re something else….
-Turning on notifications. I’m ready. Almond!
Only after the viewers had thoroughly cooled down the lingering heat of Almond’s intense broadcast in the chat did they begin leaving one by one.
Some of them went back to the Community Site and spread word of today’s events.
Some viewers even clipped the scene of the arrow lodging in the crown of his head from the replay.
It was rare for a channel with only around 200 viewers to get clips made, which spoke to just how impressive Almond’s performance today had been.
Three clips of Almond were created: the scene of shooting Burka, the scene of turning all the bandits into skewers while riding, and finally the trick shown right before the sudden termination.
Among these, the final trick was posted with a title that garnered significant attention.
[Literally ‘otherworldly’ aiming skill]
The post with the above title contained both Sanghyeon’s trick and simultaneously the scene of the Capsule bouncing.
-His aiming skill is literally otherworldly lol
-I’m losing my mind lol
-How is a sudden termination a reaction lol
-Ultimate aiming and ultimate comedy… this is rare.
-The passing medal bestowed upon him…
The comments on the Community Site were equally explosive.
His trick seemed to have landed quite well.
Of course, there were malicious comments too.
They would go to every post and comment section, attacking in this manner.
-Who the hell is this streamer anyway? Why keep mentioning her?
-Ban this promotion already
-Is there some group chat going on?
-Looks like they opened a group chat lol
└No, she’s actually really good though?
└Stop the viral marketing. Being good early on doesn’t mean anything?
-Why are you all sucking up to a streamer with just 200 followers?
└lol true
Merely 200 followers.
“Ahem, ahem.”
Sanghyeon, who had been contentedly observing the community, let out an involuntary cough.
Of course, Sanghyeon wasn’t particularly hurt by such remarks. This was the natural trial period for any rising new streamer—jealousy and such things were inevitable.
For Sanghyeon, who had already lived a life as a transcendent genius, this was a familiar sight.
“Damn fools.”
Comments like those were nothing to Sang-hyun Yu—he could brush them off with a single remark.
So Sanghyeon read through all the malicious comments without a care in the world.
-The way they’re sucking up now is basically like a second Dotoriddan
-Ugh. Disgusting.
-Dotoriddan lol squirrel bastards.
-Dotorimuk is at least respectable.
-Comparing that streamer to Dotorimuk? That’s just Dotoriddan behavior.
Among them, he spotted a familiar name.
“Dotorimuk….”
The person who had donated 100,000 won today.
I had a feeling they were someone famous. Apparently, they were a tier-1 streamer in this game.
“Are they quite skilled?”
Sanghyeon became curious about this person named Dotorimuk.
I searched for their videos and played one.
“…Oh.”
Unlike me—naturally—they primarily used a sword. Their technique was extraordinary.
Even for Sanghyeon, who had never wielded a sword before, their skill was impressive.
From what I could tell, they had already cleared multiple playthroughs and were now working on detailed content challenges.
One of them was the ‘Bow Challenge’.
“That’s not it at all.”
In that regard, their skill fell far short of my standards. Dotorimuk seemed to think the same way, as the Bow Challenge disappeared after about three episodes.
“Everything else is fine though?”
Skipping past the Bow Challenge, I continued watching the remaining videos with interest.
Ding.
A lengthy message arrived through my Tribee account.
The subject line read as follows.
[Hello, Almond. I’m a streamer named Dotorimuk.]
