Chapter 32

Streamers hate unpopular games.

Because no matter how hard they try, their viewer count doesn’t increase much.

And the Jar Game is a representative unpopular game.

Graphics so crude you can’t believe it’s a capsule game.

Controls so bad that curses come out the moment you grab the hammer.

Moreover, it’s already been 5 years since its release.

Naturally, the following conclusion is drawn.

‘Playing the Jar Game won’t increase viewers much anymore.’

However,

Gwanjong Cheonma’s game broadcast completely shattered this obvious conclusion.

“One… thousand?”

As soon as the broadcast started, viewers increased like a storm.

It was so fast that it was hard to follow the rising numbers with the eyes.

The number of viewers remaining when he did the Jar Game time attack at dawn was about a hundred.

Ten times that number of viewers flocked to Hae-rang’s channel.

“For so many people to come… I’m truly grateful.”

His blue, deep eyes stirred with emotion.

Hae-rang bowed his head with utmost sincerity.

Viewers who treated the streamer’s success as their own also poured out celebratory chats.

-Ooh~ 1,000 real-time viewers~ Gwanjong Cheonma has grown so much

-Now they can’t make fun of you for being a small-time streamer anymore ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

-If we get just a few more viewers, we’ll even surpass the joint streamers, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-After Iron Fist, now he’s crushing it in streamer popularity too

-Stop it! My joints’ HP is already at zero lololololol

-Our Gwanjong has already grown this much..my nose is tingling(sniff)

-Congratulations, attention-seeking Heavenly Demon-nim Qㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Isn’t this unprecedented growth? Unless it’s a streamer who started as a celebrity or from an agency, I don’t think I’ve seen a regular person grow like this

-Looking at that gameplay, it makes sense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s one bold move after another, from max F to full Phoenix to the jar

-For real, once you taste Gwanjong Cheonma’s dopamine, other broadcasts feel like documentaries

Hae-rang, who had been carefully observing the pouring chat window, soon mentioned familiar IDs.

“Messi Messi and Siu Siu. You came again today.”

-Messi Messi : ????

-Siu Siu : Did he just mention us? I didn’t mishear, right?

“You didn’t mishear. If you two hadn’t watched my broadcast, I wouldn’t have been able to grow this quickly.”

-MessiMessi: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ This is so touching. Thank you, attention-seeking heavenly demon.

-Siu Siu : I didn’t particularly want special treatment. Well, I do feel a little good though(tears up)

Siu Siu and Messi Messi.

They were the first viewers to visit when Hae-rang started broadcasting.

In this industry, they’re called 0th generation, 1st generation, or founding contributors.

The names differ but the meaning is the same.

Grateful guests who were the first to visit the broadcast.

Hae-rang hadn’t forgotten their names.

-That sounds so nice ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ having the attention-seeking heavenly demon even call out your name

-I have a name too! Please call my name!

-Wow! That heartwarming sight of taking care of 0th generation viewers! He’s become a real streamer now!

-That’s right, it would be troublesome if he got cocky just because he got more viewers.

-Is there just one or two streamers who got all cocky and then completely embarrassed themselves? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

【Your Name Is has donated 50,000 won!】

【It’s not like I donated because I wanted to hear my name called or anything? Hmph!】

“Your Name Is. Thank you so much for the donation.”

After that, a donation relay followed.

There were far more viewers who wanted to have their names called by Gwanjong Cheonma than expected.

Manager Choi Gang-sik, who was watching this, grinned from ear to ear.

‘What a guy, really.’

It didn’t seem like an action done with ‘money collection’ in mind.

He just called their names to express gratitude to the original viewers.

But unexpectedly, it became a butterfly effect and donations poured in from the start.

At first, he thought it was just luck.

But now Choi Gang-sik seemed to understand the reason.

‘Sincerity is the most powerful weapon.’

Choi Gang-sik, who had worked as a manager for a long time.

That’s why he could see it clearly.

‘Money collection’ shows.

No matter how much you act like it’s unintentional, you can’t hide your true feelings one hundred percent.

Viewers who don’t notice this donate more,

while viewers who see the ‘money collection behavior’ actually develop negative feelings.

Streaming is also work to make a living.

If desire doesn’t show when doing ‘money collection’, that’s not human but machine.

‘But…’

Choi Gang-sik suppressed a hollow laugh while looking at the machine on screen.

Gwanjong Cheonma.

That guy has no desire for ‘money collection’.

Really, surprisingly, nothing can be felt at all.

Like someone who has values more important than money.

Obviously, in Choi Gang-sik’s experience, he had never seen such a person.

‘In a way, that might be the most ultimate realm.’

He doesn’t take intentional actions for donations.

Viewers only send donations when they’re genuinely moved.

It’s like a meeting of minds, so to speak.

To Choi Gang-sik, Gwanjong Cheonma’s broadcast felt incredibly ideal.

On one hand, he thought he had made the right choice becoming this guy’s manager.

“The problem starts now though.”

Choi Gang-sik’s expression became a bit serious.

After one round of donation time ended, Hae-rang had accessed the game purchase platform.

The shocking choice that guy had made the day before.

How the viewers would react to it,

even experienced Choi Gang-sik couldn’t predict at all.

* * *

“Let’s start by purchasing the game.”

Hae-rang accessed the game purchase site ‘Storm’.

-Ah… my treasure vault is right there

-Is it really a treasure vault? lolololol Isn’t it more like a homework vault?

-Ugh, seeing that site gives me reality check again. How many games did I buy like crazy and never play even once?

-Viewers who have more unplayed games than played ones, upvote lololololol

-Hey! The idea that you must play games after buying them is just a stereotype! Go!

-Right, right. Don’t you know about collection value!

A warm breeze passes by Hae-rang’s lips.

With as many as a thousand viewers, they now communicate among themselves.

Thanks to that, even accidentally clicking the wrong page caused no problems.

“The search bar is here.”

At the three characters Hae-rang typed, chat poured out like a burst dam.

The word he entered was ‘Assassin’.

-Assassin! Finallyyyyyyyyyy

-Ooooh! Are you playing the Assassin series?

-Yes! If you keep pretending not to know, Da-hong might get upset.

-She probably already smashed one monitor? Getting all angry lololololol

-You’re… the first one to make me yearn like this, Gwanjong Cheonma!

-That expression of knowing nothing. We might all be fooled by that. Maybe Gwanjong is a master of psychological warfare?

-A streamer should definitely try stealth action at least once!

-Finally our attention-seeker is playing a main game ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ This old man is so happy ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Befitting a popular series, searching for Assassin generated various listings.

Assassin Sparta.

Black-Haired Assassin.

You Die If You Can’t Assassin.

Chaebol Family Assassin.

Assassin Joseon.

Assassin Apocalypse.

And finally, the game the viewers craved appeared.

‘Assassin Zero.’

-It’s hereeeeee!

-Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

-That’s it, that’s the game!

-Let’s go Assassin Zero!

Hae-rang raised his finger and touched the screen.

Right below ‘Assassin Zero’,

He touched ‘Assassin Revenge’.

-Huh?

-Gasp! I think you clicked wrong

-That’s not Assassin Zero! It’s Assassin Revenge;;

-Gwanjong, can you not read the alphabet by any chance?

-Gwanjong Cheonma’s greatest weakness: English

-I see, there was a reason he chose the martial arts concept lololololol

-You can go back to the previous step by pressing the cancel button!

The viewers cried out, but Hae-rang’s voice remained calm.

“No. I chose correctly.”

Click.

And then he confirmed the purchase of ‘Assassin Revenge’.

-Huh? Really?

-You’re doing Assassin Revenge instead of Assassin Zero?

-Lolololol I absolutely cannot predict his moves

-Is this for real? Did you really choose this game?

-If Da-hong sees this, won’t she actually come find you? lololololol

-Da-hong: Who donated asking you to play Assassin Zero, did I say play Revenge!

-Gwanjong Cheonma! What’s your reason for choosing Assassin Revenge?

“Hmm…”

Hae-rang briefly looked at Choi Gang-sik’s face with the cam turned on.

Choi Gang-sik closed his eyes tightly and waved his palm.

It meant to do whatever you want to do.

Hae-rang smiled slightly and said what he wanted to say.

“Since my viewer provided support, I thought it would be appropriate to do the related series.”

-What???

-Lmaooo viewerrrr lolololol

-Korea’s top celebrity #1 Singularity Da-hong. Instantly demoted to just a viewer lolololololol

-Gwanjong: If you came to watch the broadcast, aren’t you all just viewers anyway? ^^^^

-Let’s shut down this broadcast. If I were Da-hong, I’d be breathing fire by now.

-Manager! Quickly block new viewers!

-That pure face that doesn’t show even a hint of concept lololol

-That’s what makes it more suspicious. He can’t really think of Da-hong as just a viewer, right?

-What is Singularity? Is it something you eat? hehehehe

Though they were making a fuss, the viewers didn’t seem to dislike this situation.

No.

In some ways, they seemed even more excited.

When Singularity extended their hand, all streamers would either humbly accept it or prostrate themselves on the ground.

Their influence in the capsule industry was insurmountable.

That absolute and authoritative image sometimes stirred up subtle resentment.

Because seeing your favorite streamer submit isn’t always pleasant.

In that regard, Gwanjong Cheonma had all the conditions viewers would love.

-He’s insanely good at games, but his behavior is totally his own way.

Someone’s chat perfectly captured Hae-rang’s charm.

“Do you viewers perhaps dislike Assassin Revenge?”

-No way. All the Assassin series are fun so it’s fine

-Just looking at story quality, Assassin Revenge is the best lolol

-Yeah yeah yeah Assassin Zero just has high difficulty but the story is boring;;

-But is Assassin Revenge easy? Not really. It’s probably in the top three of the entire series?

-Limited to ‘Calamity’ mode, it rivals Assassin Zero. We don’t mind.

Hae-rang felt a little relieved.

There was a possibility they might be disappointed about not following Singularity’s choice.

But the viewers’ standard of judgment was Hae-rang, not Da-hong.

No matter what anyone said, the owner of this broadcast was Gwanjong Cheonma,

The viewers’ reactions were telling that story.

“Then, let’s begin.”

Flash!

As Hae-rang selected ‘Assassin Revenge’, white lightning struck before his eyes.

A white flash so blinding it was dizzying.

At the same time, Hae-rang’s consciousness transferred into the game.

* * *

1460.

Florence, Italy.

Fragrant wooden furniture was placed throughout the antique and warm red wallpaper.

Inside a room where you could tell at a glance it was a wealthy household.

An unexpected scream echoed there.

“Aaaahhh!”

Though it was a sound full of pain, the viewers seemed to welcome it instead.

-Ooooh! Is it beginning!

-The legendary opening scene

-Waaah! I’m baby Gwanjong!

The woman’s scream was none other than from childbirth.

“Ahhhhh!”

“My lady! You’re doing great!”

After some labor pains ended, this time a vigorous baby’s cry could be heard.

“Waaah! Waaah!”

-It’s out. The legend appears!

-Let’s staaaaaart Assassin Revenge!

-Welcome the hero!

-Bring alcohol and snacks! It’s time for the heroic warrior!

“My lady! It’s a boy! Congratulations!”

“Haha. What a vigorous cry.”

The child’s father, Giovanni, lifted up the newborn baby.

The mother asked Giovanni.

“The baby’s name… what should we call him?”

Ding.

Then, an empty space appeared before Hae-rang’s eyes.

【Please enter a name.】

“Hmm.”

Even so, this was medieval Italian times, so entering ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’ would break the immersion.

The viewers stopped chatting and waited for Gwanjong Cheonma’s choice.

Hae-rang entered the name without hesitation.

“Elogio.”

It meant “praise” in Italian.
