Chapter 27

“What is this?”

Da-hong’s large eyes shook as if an earthquake had struck.

Gwanjong Cheonma had turned on his broadcast after two days.

Naturally, she thought he would be playing ‘Assassin Zero’.

But….

-Hahahahaha get a grip, attention-seeking demon lord!

-Why are you going the wrong way lololol oh my god lolololol

-He’s completely useless at anything other than fighting games

-Why do you even want to play this disease game? lololol

-He’s falling down!

-If I’m Gwanjong Cheonma regretting choosing the jar game, upvote

-The torture game you chose! Accept it gracefully!

Two thin lines appeared on Da-hong’s smooth forehead.

“Why is he playing such an outdated game? Is it a warm-up game or something?”

But Gwanjong Cheonma had been playing the ‘jar game’ for over two hours.

It wasn’t a warm-up game, but his main game choice for today.

“This is unbelievable….”

A hollow laugh escaped between her red lips.

Along with the thought that it had been a while since she’d seen such an absurd streamer.

“He’s not even good at it?”

Moving the hammer to use as support, continuously climbing up structures.

With his lower body trapped in a jar, he couldn’t use his feet.

A game played solely through hammer control.

If you mess up the controls, you fall to the ground.

If you’re unlucky, you fall all the way back to the first stage, ‘Primordial Village’.

Even while Da-hong was watching, Hae-rang fell back to Primordial Village several times.

-Hahahahahaha here we are again! Taecho Village!

-(YouTube music donation: Going in circles)

-You can’t get past it

-Went from a skilled broadcast to a trash broadcast overnight lmaooooo

“What are you doing! You need to move the opposite way there!”

Da-hong violently contorted her taut skin.

It was a moment that rendered the effects of her hundreds of thousands of won cooling therapy meaningless.

“He’s really bad at this. Did I misjudge this person?”

Da-hong bit her nails with her lips, not even thinking about driving her car.

Gwanjong Cheonma playing the jar game was the very definition of ‘ordinary’.

He had definitely shown genius in fighting games though.

“Right now, this isn’t a skill broadcast, it’s a noob broadcast.”

The type of broadcast Da-hong despised most.

Broadcasting formats where people are either naturally bad or pretend to be bad on purpose.

From Da-hong’s perspective, the ‘jar game’ was specialized for noob broadcasting.

[Damn it! Who made this game! This trash game!]

[After playing this game, my illness was cured. The virus got stressed and died.]

[What kind of game is this! Aaaahhhhh!]

[Haha… Hahahaha! I’m going to the bathroom real quick!]

Looking around at other jar game broadcasts, they were all like this.

The viewers seemed to enjoy watching people fall to the bottom more than reaching the top.

-Bathroom my ass lol it’s probably smoke break time, sis ^^

-He lost again! He fell again!

-Who is it. Who made the sound of falling into hell.

-I want to go back

-Why is he in the same spot after nine hours of playing?

-Why is his tongue sticking out like that? Does he drive the jar with his face?

-Hahahaha look at her trembling with pleasure like that

-Seeing his hands convulsing, he must be really enjoying it!

-Press X to pay respects to the streamer who fell to Primordial Village

Noob broadcasts could be like that.

But Gwanjong Cheonma should be doing ‘skill broadcasts’.

From Da-hong’s perspective, he was definitely a genius.

“How dare….”

Crack.

A snapping sound leaked from the nail she was biting.

“Reject my proposal?”

Singularity.

Being such an influential group, they had created various memes and trending phrases.

‘Sing-owa’ was one of them.

It meant ‘when Singularity calls, you should come’.

But the public didn’t consider it arrogant.

Because there wasn’t a gamer in the world who would refuse when Singularity asked them to join.

Normally, you’d jump up even from sleep and bow deeply in the group chat.

The number one dream job chosen by elementary, middle, and high school students.

The number one job adults wanted to do if they were reborn.

Once you boarded their line, it was a group where wealth and honor followed.

“But this person….”

Gwanjong Cheonma.

The more she watched, the more peculiar this streamer became.

Even Singularity showing direct interest was not a common occurrence.

But Gwanjong Cheonma was peacefully doing his crappy broadcast as if it didn’t matter.

Not Assassin Zero, but a jar game.

Da-hong even felt like she was being ignored.

Buzz.

A message notification popped up over the broadcast Da-hong was watching.

Another Singularity like herself.

It was Sang-jin.

[Sang-jin: Gwanjong Cheonma lololol he’s something else?]

[Da-hong: Right. He’s not your ordinary nutcase. Why is he suddenly playing jar?]

[Sang-jin: Jar? What are you talking about? I’m talking about Chair Shot.]

[Da-hong: Chair Shot Community? Not the broadcast?]

[Sang-jin: Yeah, Gwanjong Cheonma just appeared in Chair Shot’s trending videos. ‘Break the Joint’ highlights.]

[Da-hong: Ah. I thought.]

Chair Shot, the largest fighting game community.

Following Street Fighting last time, it seemed Gwanjong Cheonma’s video had become a hot topic once again.

“Sigh. What am I even doing right now.”

Da-hong sighed and accessed the Chair Shot Community.

If he were just some ordinary talented player, she would have ignored him and gone her way by now.

But Da-hong couldn’t do that.

Because she had sensed something special in Gwanjong Cheonma’s movements.

‘He’s definitely different. I couldn’t explain it in words if asked though.’

As Sang-jin said, there was Gwanjong Cheonma’s video in Chair Shot’s ‘trending videos.’

[Ooh-ah!]

Crash!

Full Phoenix’s Life-Death Seasonal Technique.

Every time Bung-ta exploded, the entire screen shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

A festival of Bung-ta unfolding across different stages.

Da-hong puffed her cheeks like a hamster at the smoothly edited footage.

“Heh. This place edits well. Who made this?”

Good material naturally makes for good highlights.

Since Singularity’s gameplay was so spectacular,

highlight view counts often became their exclusive party.

From hundreds of thousands at minimum to tens of millions, even hitting hundred million view counts.

Naturally, the dedicated staff editing the videos were also world-class level.

But surprisingly, Gwanjong Cheonma’s highlight video was no less impressive than theirs.

“Video effects, sound effects, and even cross-editing?”

Gwanjong Cheonma, who had just started broadcasting, couldn’t possibly have hired an editor earning hundreds of millions in salary.

It had to be either a simple fan of his, or there was a capable person nearby.

Da-hong, who wouldn’t bat an eye at most videos.

If she acknowledged it to this degree, it was natural that ordinary users’ eyes would be spinning.

-Wowlololol the editing is insane

-Why does my stomach hurt so much when Park Soo-son is the one who got hit by the fish-shaped pastry? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-So Bung-ta can have strike judgment too. Is the person who got hit still alive?

-Lololol getting hit by one Bung-ta and Anti-Shock! Worth declaring forfeit

-Wow, look at Joint and the exchange. This isn’t the National Team Selection, right?

-Why doesn’t the taunt work? Really don’t know;;

-Listening to what he said in the interview, he stepped back when using Taunt-Flash Upper?

-Crazy, is that possible with human reaction speed. The guard broke in the blink of an eye.

-A beginner beat a golden rank lolololol and it was the former pro gamer Joint lolololol

-Wasn’t Joint’s main game Iron Fist Seven? He got beaten here? By a beginner at that?

-Isn’t the whole tournament a giant setup? How else would this make sense?

-How many people watch Break the Joint that they’d set it up? lol

-Everything’s good but can’t they stop with that corny greeting at the end of the video?

-For real, stop putting in the roses, damn it!

-But Da-hong appeared after the tournament ended, right? Why isn’t she in the highlights?

“My point exactly.”

Da-hong unconsciously nodded while reading through the comments.

Gwanjong Cheonma’s spectacularly edited fighting.

But the conversation with Da-hong was nowhere to be found in the highlight video.

Even though they had packed in plenty of comments from regular viewers.

“Definitely seems like a professional. I’ll give Gwanjong Cheonma a pass, but even the editor treats me like I’m nothing.”

Da-hong smiled bitterly and grabbed the steering wheel.

How should she put it.

Everything related to Gwanjong Cheonma was far from ordinary.

“That’s why I’m getting more curious.”

Vrooom!

More than usual, Da-hong pushed the accelerator deeper.

* * *

Kwaaak!

He swung the hammer powerfully, driving it into the structure.

Bwoong!

Then he used the hammer as a lever to launch his body.

A game that ends when you climb all the structures and reach the top.

The game’s ‘rules’ were so simple they bordered on emptiness.

Hae-rang climbed various structures over and over again.

And finally,

-He made it!

-ssssssssssssss

-Gwanjong Cheonma wins! Gwanjong Cheonma wins!

-Finally, it’s the ending ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-How long did it take? 10 hours?

-Huh. You played the jar game for 10 hours?

-Is this even humanly possible? This isn’t some old 2D game, how do you play for 10 hours straight in a capsule ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It was so fun I lost track of time

-Good work Gwanjong Cheonma! Now get some rest!

-For real. I learned the limits of human patience.

Hae-rang’s body floated up into the sky.

An ending scene where all the structures he had climbed were visible at a glance.

Ten hours had passed in what could have been a game or punishment.

Though it should have been a moving moment, Gwanjong Cheonma’s eyes were utterly calm.

-What’s with all that looking around? Like someone who’s gonna log back in and wreck everything lololololol

-Gwanjong Cheonma: Jar game? No no, now it’s jar Minecraft

-There’s nothing more to go up now ㅠㅠㅠㅠ You can stop looking

-I think that kind of obsession is why they won 1st place in “Break the Joint” ㅇㅇㅇ

Ttak!

Even after the ending finished, Hae-rang still stood in Primordial Village.

His eyes gazed at the hammer he was holding.

Soon a faint smile formed on his lips.

“Now you’re finally listening to me.”

To Hae-rang, this long object was no longer just a hammer.

A weapon so difficult to handle it could harm its own wielder.

But once mastered, a weapon more powerful than any treasured sword.

“Demon Sword.”

To Hae-rang, this hammer was no different from a demon sword.

-?

-Didn’t he just say something?

-He spoke too quietly, I can’t hear!

-What if the streamer starts talking to themselves lol

-We want to hear too!

Instead of answering, Hae-rang expressed his gratitude.

“It probably wasn’t very entertaining, but thank you for staying with me for such a long time.”

-Don’t mention it (embarrassed)

-We’ve got nothing but time! We’re time Bill Gates!

-The jar game is originally meant to be enjoyed for its frustrating fun lol it was pretty entertaining

-Are you going to keep this broadcast concept? This is pretty fun too

“No. Now that I know how to handle the hammer, I’m going to do it properly from now on.”

What was the most difficult tool to handle among existing capsule games?

This was the question Hae-rang had asked after ‘Break the Joint’.

After much deliberation, Joint’s answer was this:

[There are many difficult tools to handle in the world. But the most fucking annoying tool is definitely the jar game.]

After that, Hae-rang devoted himself to the jar game, cutting down on sleep and meal times.

Indeed, there was a reason Joint had said that.

The weight was fundamentally asymmetrical, and the center changed depending on where you grabbed it and what was inside.

And how disgustingly heavy it was.

They said in the 2D game era you could play it with just a mouse.

When it transitioned to capsule games, the jar game became a legendary terrible game combining fucking difficulty with fucking physical labor.

Glance.

Hae-rang checked the viewer list.

The number of viewers currently remaining was about a hundred.

Considering he had broadcast for 10 hours and it was dawn, this wasn’t a small number.

These grateful people who kept cheering him on every time he fell back to Primordial Village.

“Don’t leave, just watch for one more minute.”

-Oh. First time seeing Gwanjong Cheonma say something like that?

-One minute? Do you have some announcement to make?

-You still don’t get it. We’re time Bill Gates!

Hae-rang, who confirmed the chat, smiled like an autumn breeze.

Then he pressed the start button again.

“One minute will be enough.”

-??

-????

The Chat Window was instantly flooded with question marks.

One minute to clear the Jar game.

That was a record that no one in the entire world had ever achieved.
