Chapter 6

“Uhyo! Gwanha!”

Trend’s popular game streamer.

Joint turned on his broadcast with a rough voice.

-Gwanha gwanha!

-The pervert broadcast has started!! All newbies bow down!

-What gaming newbie will I make cry tears of blood today ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Dog that barks when seeing perverts: Woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!

-Boss, everything okay? That newbie you schooled last week said to watch your back at night lolol

“Hey! If I couldn’t go outside because I was scared of that, I wouldn’t be Joint!! I went all the way to Nine Eleven in front of my house!”

-At most I could only go to a convenience store lol

-As expected, Earth’s weakest beta male!

-A specimen of strong-weak-weak-strong!

-How did the emperor of iron fist end up being such a loser ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Should he really be called a popular streamer?

Not long after turning on the broadcast, hundreds of viewers flocked in.

Even though he hadn’t started gaming yet, donations were already pouring in.

Ding!

【Factorial donated 5,000 won!】

【Joint! Joint! My friend says you’re washed up now and completely turned into a bullying broadcast. Is that true?】

“Hey hey! What do you take Joint for! I just show you all the broadcasts you like more often!”

-Ugh trash!

-Are you saying we viewers are perverts?

-I want to deny it but I can’t, this strange feeling…

“Hehe. You cute little ones! Your fingers may deny it, but view counts are honest, right? These days viewers don’t increase unless it’s bullying broadcasts!”

-True true

-Honestly it is fun. Beating up clueless newbies.

Joint deflected even provocative questions without batting an eye.

He was someone you could feel had 10 years of streaming experience in the industry.

Particularly curly hair that was rolled up, and a gaunt face.

Mini sunglasses that looked comically small.

Joint was a veteran that any fighting game user would acknowledge.

But rather than playing his main game ‘Iron Fist’, he preferred broadcasts that bullied and frustrated beginners.

‘That gets a more definite reaction.’

Newbies had good ‘impact feel’ as they commonly say.

[Answer the voice talk, you bastard!]

Unable to contain their anger, they’d call for one-on-one conversations.

[This bastard really plays like shit.]

[Fucking coward tactics, damn it!]

Words that could be considered high praise for gamers would pour out.

[I want to send you a gift, can you give me your address?]

Eventually even movements suggesting they’d come for real-life confrontation.

The diverse types of newbie rage actually contributed greatly to the broadcast’s popularity.

“Now! What newbie shall we go educate today? As announced beforehand, today’s game will be ‘Street Fighting’.”

-Street Fighting??? Playing a game that’s not just outdated but completely rotten??

-But it’s actually a game with quite a lot of newbies yeah

-I heard elderly people play it a lot when first trying capsule games

-The person getting educated better not be my dad, right?

-A broadcast that’s seriously disrespectful to viewers lolololol

“Now, let’s look at the user IDs!”

Joint accessed Street Fighting and looked at the list of IDs currently in games.

“[Roronoa] this guy! Isn’t this the friend who asked for our home address last time? Haha!”

“[Chunni Single-Path Life 10 Years]! It would be interesting to fight this guy too. But it doesn’t match today’s broadcast concept. Let me find another newbie!

Joint searched for a newbie.

Especially if they were a newbie ‘currently broadcasting’, that was even better.

Rarely, there were users who were gaming beginners but turned on broadcasts.

Clueless rich kids who bought capsules despite being newbies.

The reason for finding such IDs was extremely simple.

Not only for his own channel, but to capture the opponent’s broadcast footage and archive it in his own YouTube videos.

‘Nothing’s as stimulating as reactions of getting beaten and screaming.’

Joint, who was searching for an opponent, finally found the user he wanted.

“Uhyo! Gwanjong Cheonma? Attention-seeking Heavenly Demon? What an unusual ID, right? Should I check the ID creation date?”

Joint, who checked the information, stuck out his tongue and made a full circle.

“Oho! It’s an account created today! If it’s this much, isn’t it fate?”

-Created today? Not this month but today? This is a raw newbie among newbies!

-Mmm~smell~ The fresh raw scent is flowing all the way here..

-Slurp. Welcome, sweet newbie!

-Poor friend ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Of all things, to catch the eye of that perverted freak!

-Run away, Gwanjong Cheonma!

Ding!

【NewbieLover donated 10,000 won!】

【But wait, isn’t this person kind of strange? He made his account today and already has five hours of playtime.】

“Huh?”

Joint tilted his head sideways and clicked on the detailed information.

Then he pushed up his ridiculous sunglasses.

“Whoa! It’s really true? Newbies usually have trouble playing even thirty minutes at first.”

-Is your brain made of vibranium?

-Aren’t you already unconscious?

-A serious subconscious game lololololololol

Joint felt something beyond curiosity – something bizarre.

He opened a Trend broadcast window in another tab and searched for ‘Gwanjong Cheonma’.

Then he swallowed a hollow laugh.

“Zangief? Bros, this guy is playing Zangief?”

-Zangief? The worst trash champion on earth?

-That champion whose only notable feature is a pair of red underwear?

-That champion whose brain is also pickled in muscle!

-Well, if he’s a newbie, that makes sense. He doesn’t know shit so he’s trying everything, right?

Joint swallowed his saliva.

This newbie’s bizarreness was drawing strange aggro.

The chat window activity had noticeably improved too.

“Woohoo! I absolutely cannot resist this!”

He quickly sent a match request.

Then he clasped his hands together and prayed for his opponent to press the accept button.

Many users are afraid of fighting against people rather than computers.

‘Please accept. Let me rake in some money!’

Not long after, the character selection screen opened.

Joint’s desperate wish had come true.

* * *

-Crazy, he pressed the accept button?

-You’re screwed! Just log out right now;;

-Your opponent is the pervert Joint! Your mental will break, student!

When he pressed the accept button, his two viewers poured out chat messages.

“I was thinking of playing against the computer a bit more, but I’ll have to fight people eventually anyway. Let’s test it out.”

-Hahahahahahaha

-What did I just hear? Testing against joints? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Streamer, Joint might be a bit crazy now, but he’s a former Iron Fist national team member??

-The type who has to check whether it’s shit or soybean paste. Well, since Joint came directly to this channel, at least we don’t have to switch channels.

-Yeah. Good job. Very gooood~~job!

Hae-rang bowed his head.

“I haven’t even done anything yet and you’re praising me like this. Thank you.”

-????

-Did he just… interpret that as praise?

The chat window instantly froze at Hae-rang’s greeting.

When he accepted the user’s match, the character selection screen unfolded.

As Hae-rang moved his cursor toward Zangief, chaos erupted once again.

-Fuck! Don’t pick Zangief!

-It might be okay against computers, but not against people!

-That fucking Joint bastard. Look at him picking Kyle. He’s planning to beat the shit out of you.

Hae-rang chose Zangief without hesitation.

The user with the ID ‘Joint’ picked Kyle.

With the characters’ entrance scene, they could now talk to each other.

“Woohoo! Nice to meet you! Gwanjong Cheonma!”

“Hello, Joint. Please go easy on me.”

The vast desert background from the first stage unfolded.

In front of it appeared Kyle with his red brush-like hair and flashy accessories.

“But wow, you’re holding up well. Are you really new to Capsule?”

“How did you know I’m a beginner?”

“You hover your cursor over the ID and check detailed info! Since you don’t even know that, you’re definitely a newbie.”

Kyle drools.

It seems to reflect Joint drooling in real life.

“Aren’t you tired? Playing for over five hours is tough even for professional streamers.”

“I’m fine. Can I ask you for one favor?”

“A favor?”

“Please take it seriously. Don’t half-ass it.”

“What?!”

Joint’s mouth fell wide open.

He thought this was a well-behaved newbie, but such provocation?

Naturally, ‘Joint’s’ chat window went crazy too.

-Hoooooooo! What a cunning newbie!

-He’s handsome AND has a smooth tongue! He’s probably a total nerd in real life though lol

-Who is it? Who dares to provoke Joint!

-You’re dead now!

Soon Joint’s gaping mouth turned into a smile.

‘The more arrogant the newbie, the more satisfying it is to teach them a lesson. The viewers love it more too.’

Joint shrugged his shoulders once, then shouted at Hae-rang.

“Woohyo! You said it first!

【Round One! Fight!】

Jump!

Kyle leaped over Zangief’s head.

He extended his foot toward the head, and immediately upon landing, a Heavy Punch.

And then a Projectile followed.

It was a clean movement without any unnecessary motions.

Smack!

“Good defense?”

Against Zangief who managed to defend well, Kyle leaped once more.

A Heavy Punch swung from an ambiguous position in front of or behind Zangief!

This time Zangief failed to defend.

Thwack!

A Combo Attack exploded in an instant.

With a 3 HIT judgment, a third of Zangief’s health flew away.

The chat window blazed hot at that sight.

-Damn, look at all that health gone from a basic combo.

-This is Kyle’s National Combo that even street dogs won’t use because it’s too dirty!

-Using Kyle’s National Combo against a newbie. Where’s your conscience?

“Woohyo!”

Kyle bounced around as if toying with Zangief, landing combo after combo.

Kyle had good hit detection and high damage.

Zangief’s health bar disappeared in an instant.

【K.O.!】

【Kyle WIN!】

【PERFECT!!】

“Woohyooooooo!”

Joint, having secured victory, roared toward the sky.

A sufficiently predictable victory.

But this kind of roaring helped to irritate the opponent.

‘He won’t rage quit like this, will he?’

Street Fighting is best of three.

The game doesn’t end just because you lose once.

But occasionally, there were cases where people got brutally beaten and logged out mid-game.

‘Since he had the guts to provoke me, his mental shouldn’t be that weak. Haha.’

Indeed.

Zangief stood up from his seat without any change in expression.

“Oh! You have some grit?”

Instead of clenching his fists or turning red in the face, Zangief opened his mouth.

“May I ask a question?”

“Huh? What question?”

“I clearly took a defensive stance, but I took damage. How did that happen?”

“Haha. You’re talking about Reverse Guard?”

“Reverse Guard?”

“When an attack looks like it’s coming from the front, but the hit detection comes from the opposite direction, that’s called Reverse Guard. That’s why you got beaten up all day just now.”

Joint was now openly talking down to him.

But Hae-rang focused on something other than the tone.

“Once I got hit, I couldn’t defend against the follow-up attacks. Why is that?”

“Haha. That’s called a Combo Attack. If you keep attacking without delay after the first attack succeeds, you’ll keep getting pummeled.”

“I see. I think I’m starting to understand somewhat.”

“Kyahahaha!”

Joint couldn’t hold back and burst into raw laughter.

Understand?

What’s there to understand.

If newbies could adapt to the game just by understanding combos and Reverse Guard, where would all the newbies in this world be?

“You don’t look like it, but you have a knack for getting people excited, don’t you?”

Joint stuck his tongue out long.

At that sight, Hae-rang’s two viewers clutched their heads.

-Eek! Joint’s already lost it.

-Here it comes! Serious mode!

-The weak-bullying pattern where he goes crazy once for every attack!

【Round Two! Fight!】

“Whoa!”

Kyle jumped up high once again with his tongue hanging out.

This time too, Zangief calmly maintained his defensive stance.

But the problem was what came next.

‘I’ll beat you until you’re crying snot and tears.’

It was when Kyle flipped backward again to use a Jump Kick.

Kiiiiing!

A ringing sound reached Joint’s ears.

‘What’s this sound?’

While playing Street Fighting.

No, it was the first time he’d heard such ringing in over ten years of streaming.

But Joint didn’t think much of it and moved his legs.

Kwack! Kwak! Kwak!

“Huh?”

A deflated sound burst from Joint’s mouth.

Surprisingly, Hae-rang’s Zangief had properly defended against the Reverse Guard.

“Lucky break?”

Properly responding to a Reverse Guard by sight is difficult even for veterans.

Joint thought the previous defense was simply a coincidence.

Kwack! Kwak!

Kyle bouncing here and there like someone on a trampoline.

But somehow, not a single attack registered a hit.

‘Crazy. This doesn’t make sense!’

With the jump attacks blocked, the following combos were also useless.

Then, Zangief, who had been quietly defending, muttered softly.

“Right. Projectiles deal damage even when blocked.”

Zangief jumped forward to dodge the Projectile.

Then he threw a punch before landing.

Puuuuuuuuck!

Clean hit.

Zangief’s watermelon-sized fist struck Kyle’s face squarely.

Zzing!

“Argh!”

At the same time, Joint screamed.

Capsule Games where damage taken in-game comes as vibrations.

Normally, it would feel like pressing a cafe’s vibrating pager against your cheek.

But,

‘Why, why does it hurt so much?’

An impact he’d never felt even in matches against pros.

Blood drops dripped down from under Kyle’s hands covering his nose.

‘One hit and Kyle’s got a bloody nose? Why is the damage like this too?’

Suddenly, incomprehensible things were happening one after another.

And,

Thud. Thud.

Toward the bewildered Kyle, the man in Red Trunks was slowly approaching.
