Chapter 225

[‘엌ㅋㅋㅋㅋ’ donated 50,000 won!]
[Just searched Geomsin on Raclin and got 230 results lmaoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ is this insane?]

Raclin was a statistics site for the game.
“……Everyone.”
The news that came through donations was quite shocking.
I’d glimpsed the chat earlier and confirmed that yesterday there weren’t many Geomsin accounts.
Which meant that while choosing a server and thinking about a nickname, 230 characters had been created.
“No, are you all serious?”
Seo Jun was genuinely frightened by the viewers’ unity.

-Growing in real time lmaoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Got him!
-So copying Geomsin was a hit on the streamer?
-Either way, he was flustered so it counts as a hitㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Sigh. At this rate I can’t help but use Geomsin again.”
I’d thought about using a different nickname, but decided to stick with Geomsin.
They said hundreds of people had already been created.
It’ll be more fun if I match them.

[‘Will you proceed with Geomsin231?’]
[That nickname is already in use.]

“Already taken again, huh.”
Well, that’s possible.
So then?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Still copying right nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Hopeless, you guysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Viewers happily smiling while filling all five character slots with Geomsinㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[‘Will you proceed with Geomsin1?’]

“Oh, nobody took this one? Really?”
For the first time seeing a yes-or-no prompt, Seo Jun was genuinely delighted.

[Yes.]

-??That one???
-Insane
-Lmaoㅋㅋ
-Oh! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Streamer genuinely pleased with itㅋㅋㅋ

“It’s fitting that I’m number one, isn’t it? I like it.”
It was just right.
The old Seo Jun had naturally skipped past the number one as well, so it made sense that it should be left behind.

-Yeah it isㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ugh! Why didn’t anyone take that?!
-Everyone was so caught up in the number-increasing game they forgot
-Since Geomsin+number is the foundation, Geomsin1 being first makes senseㅋㅋ
-What about just Geomsin?
-Didn’t workㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Well then. Now that we have a nickname, let’s begin.”
An avatar naturally materialized in the first slot, shrouded in shadow, with a name inscribed below.

[Geomsin1]

Then Seo Jun selected the first character, and just before play began.

[Use a Skip Ticket on this character?]

Finally, I pressed yes.

* * *

The darkness vanished. When I opened my eyes, I had a body.
I’d entered the character avatar.
Strictly speaking, it was my original body.
Only the clothes had changed.
It was the standard adventurer’s outfit.
Leather pauldrons and gloves, boots.
No cape, and the overall impression was dull.
Seo Jun’s eyes turned to a map floating at the edge of his vision.
The map was one very large island.
And it was showing him an objective for where to go.
“Let’s just go.”
Judging it a hassle to look around the environment, Seo Jun headed straight for the destination marked on the map.
“Is that where I’m supposed to go?”
As I approached the location marked on the map, light gathered in one spot.
The moment Seo Jun stepped there, conversation with an NPC began.

[Who are you! What? You can’t remember? You were probably an adventurer! But where do you think I’m talking from? That’s a secret!]

The conversation with the voice-only NPC didn’t reveal the main storyline—instead it explained the world setting.
Basically, the protagonist had lost their memories and woken up on this island.
If you wanted to recover your memories, you had to go to the mainland first and try adventuring. Adventuring was apparently one of the common professions on the Continent.
However, strong adventurers earned respect from nobility as well.

[That’s right. The strongest adventurers on the Continent are few and far between! So when you go to the Continent, you might have it tough! But there’s a hidden training ground on this island! Want me to teach you where it is?]

Choices appeared.

[
–> That sounds good. Where is it?
]
[
–> I’d appreciate the help.
]

“This is suspicious, don’t you think? And why are there only two choices?”
While talking with viewers, Seo Jun pressed the first choice.

-True rigged choicesㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah ㅋㅋ They’re telling you to go get trained
-Now that there are lots of viewers, the streamer will probably just do the tutorial straight up?
-All those ‘Geomsin’ users doing the tutorial together with the streamer are getting my thumbs up ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Geomsin number 47! I saw the chat and gave it a thumbs up!!

[Good choice! I hope you have the talent of an adventurer!]

Soon the conversation ended and on the nearby map, a mark appeared at the center of the island.
Seo Jun headed there.
“Is this it?”
There was a stone door in the ground, and when a message asked me to touch it and I complied, Seo Jun was instantly transported elsewhere.
True to the stone door’s nature, a stone statue dominated the center, and with light gathered there, approaching it seemed to be how you began.
And from that point on, noticeable chats started appearing.

-Now that the tutorial started, I can backseat game, right?
-Let’s show this new streamer what hard mode looks like
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pfft
-Game newbie streamer vs. broadcast newbieㅋㅋㅋ Winner’s obvious

Before starting what people called a tutorial gate, Seo Jun carefully examined the chat and noticed there were quite a few viewers he’d never seen before.
Out of sixty thousand viewers, there couldn’t be that many, but those few were eagerly flaunting their existence in chat.
Which is how he found out.

-ㅋㅋㅋ The Counter should be first-try, right?
-If the guy’s been spamming all day and calls himself skilled, then Deflect should be easy
-For realㅋㅋㅋ Otherwise straight downfall

Like that.
Existing viewers were laughing at them.

-Deflect is what? Probably easy for Geomsin?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The streamer can do anything!
-RPG players, what are you going onㅋㅋㅋ How hard could it be, The League’s physical skills are the bestㅋㅋ
-Right, you guys should just spend moneywwww

Things felt a bit disorganized.
Wasn’t it the streamer’s job to moderate the chat in situations like this?
An interesting thought occurred to me.
“Hmm. Everyone, calm down. First, don’t you think you all need to have a conversation with each other?”

-Are you trying to start flamebait?
-Never done flamebait on viewers. Don’t worry
-Really?
-Maybe???……

“Alright. First we need to hear an explanation, so only Raclin veterans please type 1 in chat. By the way, I can verify how long you’ve been watching. If you don’t meet the criteria and type 1, you know what happens, right?”
I was thinking about using that feature again.
“Got one. Well, Mart Taste Corner For Living. First, let me check your watch time. Yes, twenty minutes. You’re a newbie alright.”

-Yeah that’s rightㅋ bro

Thinking that someone interesting had come up—starting with the nickname—Seo Jun smiled with satisfaction.
“Haha. So could you explain what I’m doing right now?”

-It’s the tutorial, what elseㅋㅋ

“Oh! I see! Thanks. But what’s this Counter thing?”
Seo Jun’s lips rose higher.

-Figure it out yourselfㅋㅋ

“If you won’t explain, I’ll just ask someone else.”

-ㅋㅋ Counter is ㅋㅋ
-The boss has two attack patterns: Mechanics that you must always perform, and regular attacks which you can often block
-If you block a regular attack properly with your skill, the boss stops that pattern and is incapacitated for a bit

“Thanks for explaining! You’re a kind person after all.”
Even if the boss’s form varies a lot, fundamentally it’s Parrying, right?

-Streamer seems cheerful meeting an interesting viewer, I can hear it in his voiceㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Mart Taste Corner For Livingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ immediately answered when someone else asked ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But that Counter is just Parrying lolㅋㅋㅋ Raclin vets are finished, full stopㅋㅋㅋ
-Yeah seems similar to Parryingㅋㅋㅋ Raclin vets are totally done
-League newcomers, does the streamer do Parrying well too?
-We saw him do Frying Pan Parryingㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh right

Viewers who saw the conversation between Seo Jun and Mart Taste Corner For Living also recalled Parrying, just like he did.
“Hmm. Counter seems easy. So then……”

-No wait, I’ve been watching this room’s chat since yesterday’s spam and they’re really full of themselves. When you actually enter the raid, they can’t pull it offㅋ
-Nah just do the tutorial once and experience itㅋㅋ Streamer
-Let’s all understand the situation

Seo Jun laughed briefly and moved on to the next question.
“Is that so? So what’s Deflect? It seems harder than that?”

-Deflect is ㅋㅋ
-If Counter is blocking the boss’s regular attack from the front
-Then Deflect is striking down the boss’s regular attack from behind

“So in other words. Like if the boss swings down with a sword, blocking it from below is Counter. But if I dodge during the sword’s descent and then strike the descending sword downward from above—driving it into the ground—that’s Deflect?”
An answer came immediately.

-Yeah you got it
-Boss attack speeds are usually just a bit slower than regular users so it’s possible
-FYI it’s super duper duper hardㅋㅋㅋ

Basically.
You had to strike the enemy’s attack with the same direction—which was definitely hard.
“The judgment criteria matters, but it definitely seems like high difficulty.”

-That’s what I’m saying

“For you all.”

-?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This streamer’s insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is Deflect only on Raclin? Everyone treats it like eating riceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Just try itㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It’ll be harder than basically every technique in most gamesㅋㅋㅋ

Seo Jun laughed.
Mart Taste Corner For Living laughed.
Existing viewers laughed.
New viewers laughed.
Each for different reasons.

-Streamer’s starting up Provocationㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-These bastards spammed the streamer’s videos so much but didn’t even watch themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Why would we watch that?ㅋㅋㅋ Anyway Deflect is impossible to do easy-ㅋㅋ
-We thought the same thingㅎㅎ
-League players talking so much nonsenseㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“I should start with Deflect then. But Mart Taste Corner For Living? Why did you come watch my stream anyway?”

-Came to see what the fuss was about
-BTW I’m currently a Max Level Solrain user
-Search my nicknameㅋ

“Oh. I heard there are a lot of old-timers, so you’re from Solrain. Let me search for you.”
Seo Jun went to Raclin and searched for Mart Taste Corner For Living.
The equipment level of the character that appeared was 375.
“375 must be Max Level then?”

-Yeah
-When the Four Heavenly Kings Raid comes out you can make new gear and raise equipment level further, but it hasn’t come out yet so my current level is the limitㅋ

“You’re really kind!”
After a glance at the chat.

-Max level ㄷㄷ That’s why he stays at the Mart Taste Corner eating nothing
-Even if he’s bad, he probably spentat least 1,000
-There’s no reason to hit Max Level now, so seeing how inefficient it is, is his house rich? Or does he actually hang out at the Taste Corner?

Max Level seemed to check out.
“And you’re amazing.”

-Yeah bruㅋㅋ Now go practice Deflect
-If you make today’s broadcast content about practicing Deflect, time will fly by like nothingㅋㅋ
-If you do that I’ll keep watching your streamㅋ

The other user was overflowing with meddlesome concern.
That’s why Seo Jun loved this viewer so much.
The way he subtly bragged about himself made it clear he was an attention-seeker.
“Got it. But doesn’t that mean it’ll be too short for stream content if I master it in one try?”
Was that why?
The smile hanging on his lips showed no sign of fading.

-Nah that’s not it

“You sure?”

-If you can master Deflect in one tryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just go Perkle instead?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-BTW I’m preparing for Perkle too. We’ve got three more Max Level players in our guildㅋ
-Hope you’ll support us (many thanks for your support)

Now he’s even promoting himself here?
Usually people who perform like a fish in water in broadcasts like this only need bait to keep going.
“Hey. What if I suggest this instead? If I happen to master Deflect in one try……”
Seo Jun hadn’t even finished speaking when.
A chat appeared right away in the one-on-one chat room created between him and the other user, watched by all viewers.

-Ahㅋㅋ
-Never mind Counter, if you master Deflect right from the start I’ll immediately delete my Solrain character and
-Go to Luna On and be your secretary right thenㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-To raise character specs you have to do some pretty complex content, right? I’d schedule it all out and teach you the strategies from the sideㅋㅋ

This is how he reacted.
Seo Jun couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
“Man, you’re entertaining.”

-You are tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
