Chapter 12
My knee shot upward, but Dark Choco’s hand gripping his sword intercepted it, though the defense buckled enough to let my fist through.
Boom!
The critical hit landed square on his face, and Dark Choco’s HP plummeted.
Like a predator pursuing its prey, I chased after Dark Choco as he flew toward the Building, driving another punch forward.
Just before impact, his blade flashed with nimble precision, carving through the air around him.
Clang! Screeeech—
But Kkolkkalpi, possessing my body, blocked the sword with his right gauntlet and shoved with all his might, then drove his left fist down with devastating force.
Boom—!
Dark Choco’s already airborne body crashed through like a bullet.
Crash!
The Building’s wall and windows shattered completely, display cases inside the Shop collapsed, merchandise scattered everywhere, and employees and customers screamed.
The NPCs inside the Shop fled desperately like real people.
Whoosh—!
Dark Choco moved agilely behind my back and slashed his sword horizontally, and Kkolkkalpi, possessing my body, immediately spun around and unleashed a punch condensed at his fingertips.
‘Is his evasion skill broken?’
These star bastards seem to have no concept of HP in their heads.
Even with a frontal attack, they don’t dodge.
‘They’re not even mayflies—they’re ten-second mayflies, so they’re absolutely reckless.’
At this rate, I’m going to die.
Conscious of my dangerously low HP, I began concentrating my awareness back into my body around the tail end of the ten seconds.
A baton pass during active combat requires absolute focus.
Boom!
The moment Dark Choco’s sword and my fist met—not through physical contact but through sheer overwhelming force itself—I felt the space of the First Floor expand.
The pressure was that immense.
Boom-boom-boom-boom—!
The entire First Floor was completely destroyed, and the Building shook violently as if it might collapse entirely.
True to form for fighting maniacs.
If this were reality instead of the Game World, it would be a catastrophe.
Dark Choco and the creature possessing my body, as if they’d already anticipated the development, immediately burst out beyond the First Floor with its exposed framework and collided relentlessly.
Boom! Crash! Boom!
No one cares whether the Building gets destroyed or not.
Even in the Game World, the NPCs desperately fleeing for their lives looked so pitiful it was almost unbearable.
The battle between the two Constellations accelerated further and further.
Absolute transcendence.
‘Get ready to pull back.’
Our house star is good at dishing out raw damage and fighting, sure, but his biggest problem is he has no sense of restraint.
My HP is nearly finished.
‘That’s enough—’
I yanked Kkolkkalpi’s consciousness back like pulling someone by the collar and returned to full control.
“Get out of the way!”
The light faded from his eyes, and his voice stabilized as if static were clearing.
In that instant, Dark Choco’s eyes—which had remained expressionless throughout the entire fight with the possessed Kkolkkalpi—widened to the size of lanterns.
“【…!】”
Even Kkolkkalpi behind my back seemed nearly shocked.
【What, what?! How is this possible?!】
He was still in a possessed state.
‘Did I come back too early?’
Even as I questioned it, I didn’t miss the opening Dark Choco gave me and drove my fist forward.
Crash—bang!
He was sent sliding backward toward the Admiral Yi Sun-sin Statue where he’d been standing initially.
I immediately pursued.
【How is this even possible? A human pushed me back? By force?】
Kkolkkalpi spat out complaints.
Bang, crash-bang!
I unleashed consecutive skill attacks as naturally as breathing and thought.
Considering that Dark Choco cast the Constellation skill before me, it seemed I’d returned at a faster timing than scheduled.
‘Even if it’s a Game avatar, this is my body—isn’t it only natural?’
Of course, that fact wasn’t important right now.
Chicken and coins.
In this moment, that was my everything, my life, my late-night snack, and I was hungry.
Just before Dark Choco’s Constellation—who seemed to possess more rational sense than Kkolkkalpi—withdrew due to time running out, I downed a health potion.
That bastard was nearly dead too.
The golden light faded from Dark Choco’s brilliant eyes.
I’d been waiting for this opening.
I immediately cast the Constellation skill with a full gauge, sharp and decisive.
Along with the characteristic languid sensation of possession, Kkolkkalpi’s laughter-tinged voice echoed through the valley.
“【As expected, my eyes are accurate.】”
With a sensation like souls overlapping, my body moved of its own accord.
Skill motions flashed through my mind like a panorama, unfolding in real time as a fiery energy surged upward.
But if the Constellation isn’t an AI, what exactly is this sensation?
I thought it was a program.
Whoosh.
My Constellation skill, focused on speed rather than damage output, struck forward alongside a punch hurled into empty air.
Boom-crash-bang—!
But no K.O. appeared.
“…!”
Dark Choco’s strength lay in agility bordering on teleportation and a devastating Constellation ultimate.
His gauge must have been full too.
I immediately activated a skill and clenched my fist, spinning my body to face him.
“Park Kkolkkalp!”
Constellation was my other eye.
【Tch. Above.】
The moment Kkolkkalpi answered irritably, I felt a spectral blade plunging vertically toward me with my entire body.
I was going to die.
But if I could land the first hit.
Crash, boom—!
My skill-loaded fist drove into Dark Choco’s abdomen, and his blade infused with Constellation’s skill came down on my shoulder and exploded.
Along with searing pain that spread like wildfire, I heard the familiar judgment sound.
[K.O!]
Dark Choco and my body were both knocked backward simultaneously, and I collapsed to the ground.
‘Damn it.’
I couldn’t move a single finger.
My HP had bottomed out.
Since the blade had struck near my neck, if this were reality, I would have been dead.
‘There goes the million won and the coins.’
The chicken was flying away.
‘My chicken.’
I had no idea when I’d be able to fulfill the broadcast conditions for the 500,000 won I’d received in donations and settle the account.
In any case, it wouldn’t be tonight.
‘Ugh.’
It was then that I was shedding tears of blood in my chest.
[You win!]
At the victory judgment that followed, my immobilized body flinched.
‘What?!’
Kkolkkalpi spoke.
【Looking at the footage, that bastard’s HP hit zero by an extremely narrow margin of time before yours. You won.】
A replay appeared before me as well.
As I struck Dark Choco’s body first, his HP bottomed out ever so slightly faster than mine.
We both collapsed simultaneously, but I died later than him, so I won.
‘Yesssss!’
【Don’t forget this is all thanks to this one’s performance. And stop calling my name like that!】
‘Shut it.’
If I hadn’t forced him out and passed the baton, I would’ve died long ago.
Damn bastard.
Since I won, I’ll let it slide.
[【Notification】

The live chat window that I’d set aside while fighting flickered into view in my fixed field of vision.
—Wasn’t that a mistake by the Operators
—What are they planning to show us going forward after pulling off something like this in the Beta Test?
—Wow, this is insane
—Chicken Seat is a god
—I can’t believe Brother Dojin lostㅠㅠ

—I’d say it was a draw for now
—If that had been a real-world battle, they’d both be dead
—The impact is insane
—Hunters are apparently watching the match live right now, so it’s real
—Yes

—She’s not even looking this way
—I ordered chicken too lol, can’t resist chicken and beer with such an amazing match
Chicken, chicken, chicken.
Anyway, that bastard Park Kkolkkalp never told me how many coins it cost in the end.
As the sounds of ambulances and police cars wailed in the distance, the match judgment and reward calculation finished, and the screen switched.
* * *
The Player Waiting Room after the Game ended.
There was a message waiting.
[White Eyes: You really won]
[White Eyes: That was fun to watch]
[White Eyes: Send me your sponsorship account]
The moment I checked White Eyes’ chat message, I spoke to the viewers.
“I’ll be going now to collect my reward.”
I waved my hand.
The comment section seemed to be clamoring about something, but I quickly ended the broadcast.
I couldn’t expose my account number to the viewers.
‘Whoosh!’
I typed my sponsorship account into the chat.
The other person would learn my name, but as long as they sent the money, I didn’t really mind that much.
After all, I didn’t have much to lose.
Whether they were in the process of depositing the money or not, the sponsor remained silent for quite some time.
【Is this a scam?】
“Shut it.”
Even as I grumbled, I immediately logged into my bank to check my balance.
No money had arrived yet.
Just as a twinge of anxiety began to creep in, the sponsor returned.
[White Eyes: Joo Hyun-soo]
[Me: Yes]
[White Eyes: Is this you?]
[Me: Yes]
My heart raced.
The fact that they knew my name meant they had verified my account number correctly.
And then.
[White Eyes: Sent]
“!”
I refreshed the page and there it was—the money had actually arrived.
[Deposit: 1,000,000 won from White Eyes]
Wow.
‘Is this real?’
I’d earned a million won in a single match.
When I factored in the broadcast donations too, it was an even larger sum.
“Insane. It really came through.
【You’re that happy over pocket change? Wait until you’re making money with coins—you’ll be crying.】
“Chicken! Fifty of them!”
【What, huh? Ack!】
“Hahahaha!”
The Kkolkkalpi in my hand shook up and down frantically.
I paused mid-shake.
“Oh right. The coins.”
I’d momentarily forgotten while focusing on collecting the broadcast donations.
