15. [Night Soul] Streamer, Want to Try? (2)
Gameplay resumed shortly after.
Having accepted Geom-hu’s proposal, there was no reason to delay further. After exchanging words with Grandis, the Saintess of the Moon, I moved forward.
There wasn’t much to say, really. Grandis simply stood there in a daze, gasped out “Monster…”, and fell silent. She looked genuinely shocked.
While it was going well, I did end up getting hit by a monster-level attack lol
-Teacher Seojin is truly a superhuman ㄹㅇ; It’s not a person ㅠ;
-Monster lmao so Seo-jin would be human?? If that’s human, humanity’s doomed!!
“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Grandis give a combat evaluation like that… Well, I guess it makes sense though lol”
The viewers naturally chimed in with agreement, but Joo Seo-jin didn’t see it that way.
‘Hmm. I did my best, but… that wasn’t my full power. They’re being too generous.’
Stratchia Magnex. Conquering a Great Enemy required foresight as an indispensable ability… but I hadn’t unleashed my complete strength.
If the durability of my equipped longsword hadn’t reached zero, or if there had been no premise of clearing without taking a single hit—I could have shown even more.
Well. Either way, it’s all in the past now. I quickly brushed aside my thoughts.
Thud, thud….
The Great Cavern.
Listening to water droplets falling from the ceiling with a ‘drip- drip-‘ sound, after walking for a while, I finally reached my destination.
Having cut through countless enemies to forge my path, the landscape beyond now unfolded before me.
A gray temple, nearly destroyed yet still retaining its majestic presence, came into view.
“───We’ve arrived. This is… the Twilight Temple. O seekers of light.”
-Ohhh
-Wow.. I thought the Chapel Underground Cavern was just huge and empty with nothing.. there was something hidden like this? Crazy;
-Damn.. so there really is something here.. in normal route you can only come here in the late game..
-Hmm. I’ve been here in normal route before.. back then it was all destroyed so I thought there was nothing.. but it seems intact at this point.
It was a new sight.
The ceiling of the Great Cavern was like a night sky, with cloud patterns and star patterns intermingling, emitting a soft glow.
Joo Seo-jin’s eyes widened in surprise as well, and Joo Seo-yoon standing behind me sparkled with excitement as she ran around with ‘pitter-patter-‘ footsteps.
= Wahhh…! Amazing! So in the hidden route, you can come to places like this! Teachers, are you seeing this? I, Myeong Bang-ul, have opened this hidden map…! I’ve left a great footprint…!
-?
-?? Huh? Who opened the hidden map????
-Myeong Bang-ul.. what are you talking about… huh..?
= Hehe. This may be a small step for one human, but for [Night Soul] gamers, it will be a giant leap…! Remember this!
-Wow…
-Did you hit your head?
Why are you acting like you discovered the hidden route first when Seojin teacher did all of it..? I’m seriously asking because I’m annoyed lol
= Oh please. My brother’s achievements are my achievements too~ We’re family, shouldn’t we share good things together?
-(fists clench)
It’s hard to say bad things, right?
“This won’t do… Myeong Bang-ul, let us teach you some discipline today.”
= Hmm. You know bad language is prohibited, right? Teachers, I don’t accept opposing opinions~?
-(fists unclench)
-Kind words are hard to come by these days..
“This won’t do… Myeong Bang-ul, let’s try to get the viewers in line today, yeah?; By the way, I didn’t say anything.”
= Hehehehe.
Myeong Bang-ul- While Joo Seo-yoon was chattering away and fooling around with the viewers, Grandis, who had gone before the Twilight Temple, bowed her head and recited her lines.
“Thank you for escorting me this far… As promised, I shall bestow upon you a blessing along with the baptism.”
-Huh..
-Well, I’ll be!
Originally, this was supposed to be a timing where I’d be with the Saint of the Sun, but I ended up beating Trinex in the tutorial, so this is what happened lol
-Seriously, if you start the game you should finish the tutorial and receive baptism and blessing in 10 minutes, but since we beat Trinex it’s taking this long.. it’s brutal;
[Night Soul]. The tutorial section was ending, and the moment to truly begin playing the game was approaching.
“However… before that, I believe I must first report to the bishops at the Twilight Temple. Once you are ready, we shall proceed together.”
Whoosh.
“Then, I shall go ahead first. I will be waiting at the entrance of the Twilight Temple… please come when you have made your decision.”
It had become possible to progress the main story.
Hmm… this is just like in the Sun Temple. Even in the normal route, we had to bow and greet the bishops together with the Sun Saint lol
Even the hidden route has to deal with those bishop bastards before getting blessed and baptized, lol
-The bishops from the Star Sect don’t even show up in the normal route since they all get wiped out before we can do anything.. curious what they’re like.
That’s hilarious lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Click, click-.
The Moon Priestess. Grandis, having offered her respects with proper courtesy, withdrew… and then, a knight-shaped statue placed before the Twilight Temple began to glow.
Hummmmm.
Without even approaching closely, a holographic window appeared in the field of view, displaying information about the knight statue.
[Knight Statue]
*A statue fashioned after a certain knight. The emblem of those who serve the Sun God has been deliberately erased. In small letters, it reads: ‘Noble of heart, a knight’s spirit it shall be. That heart is the true Night Soul.’ …
━1. Load / 2. Save [◀]
The knight statue. What function this mysterious stone figure possessed could be discerned from the holographic window. Joo Seo-jin muttered softly through the player chat.
= Hmm. Knight statue… so this is for saving and loading game files, I take it.
= Exactly! When you save the game, you gotta save once at the knight statue! If you die without a save file, it’s game over, game over!
= Hmm. That much? If I just don’t have a game file saved… I just won’t die, right? Then there’s nothing troublesome about it.
= ….
-Is this guy insane..
-?.. No wait.. how can you just decide game overs on your own.. then does that mean someone wants to die and just dies??? Ugh!!!!!!!!!
-???: Your way of thinking is completely different from ours
Ah, I see~ So when playing games without a save file, you just have to not die~ I didn’t know that?? Really??
The viewers were only briefly exasperated by Joo Seo-jin’s casual deception(?) that flowed out as naturally as breathing.
=Yep!
Click-
The knight statue. Joo Seo-yoon, who approached it, manipulated the holographic window and… saved the game file.
「Night Soul(Knight Soul)」
━{1P : Myeong Bang-ul} has saved the game data to (1).
*[ 1. 【Twilight Temple】 ┃ Play Time / 04:27:11 ]
*[ 2. (Empty) ┃ Play Time / ??? ]
*[ 3. (Empty) ┃ Play Time / ??? ]
And so.
= Alright then, that wraps up today’s stream—oh! I, Myeong Bang-ul, should be heading out now! And my brother too!
-?
-..wait??? You’re just ending the broadcast like that out of nowhere??
-No way.. you can’t just leave when things are getting good!!!!!!!! Why are you ending it!!!
-Absolutely not !!!!!!! Teacher Seo-jin, you can’t leave like this, you demon!!!!!!!!!
In that instant, Joo Seo-yoon declared the broadcast over, and the chat erupted into chaos. Yet despite the uproar, Joo Seo-yoon responded with unwavering consistency.
= Huh? Teachers, why would I leave my brother here all alone~ Ugh!
-We should hear what Teacher Seo-jin thinks about this;;
-For real, Teacher Seo-jin would definitely want to earn more money!!
-I’ll pay you!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Play more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
= Hmm. Brother~ I’m about to end the stream now… do you want to keep playing alone? Because I think I’d feel sad if you did?
Most viewers believed that Joo Seo-jin, corrupted by capitalism, would want to stay longer with the audience… but the result was different.
= Yeah. You’d feel sad? Then we should stop. Let’s call it a day and continue next time.
It was an instant response. Instead of continuing to play, Joo Seo-jin chose to stop—exactly as Joo Seo-yoon wanted.
Huh…? You’re lying? You’re totally lying, damn it?? How did it come to this???????????
Teacher Seojin is… rejecting a bundle of cash…? OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
-NOOOOOOOO!! Myeong Bang-ul!!! Give Teacher Seo-jin back to normal!!! This isn’t the real Teacher Seo-jin!!
The viewers, thrilled by the overwhelming gaming skill they hadn’t witnessed in ages and fully immersed in the stream, cried out in protest—but nothing changed.
= Alright teachers, see you tomorrow! Bye bye~!
Realizing they could no longer prevent the broadcast from ending, the viewers began to say their farewells one by one, expressing their regret.
-Sigh.. can’t help it~ Myeong bye~
-Myeong bye~
-Teacher Seojin must come back tomorrow.
haha
Donations continued as well.
[【CuriousCurious】 has donated ‘50,000 won’.]
━ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ See you tomorrow teacher Seojin ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[【HardcoreLetGo】 has donated ‘50,000 won’.]
Hey, you gotta come back tomorrow for sure, it’s gonna be so much fun lol
[【SquirrelThunder】 has donated ‘50,000 won’.]
━Teacher Seo-jin, I’ll be waiting for you, come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then.
Beeeep───
The next moment.
〈 No Signal 〉
The streaming window faded to black, signaling that the broadcast had ended.
* * *
Beeeep───
The streaming broadcast had ended. The sound signaled the termination of the live feed, and simultaneously, the screen displayed in the streaming window faded to black.
〈 No Signal 〉
-Wow..
-It’s over?
-I was completely mesmerized..
And so, the viewers who had been watching Geom-hu’s stream began to voice their disappointment one by one, chattering away.
-But.. why did our Geom-hu make that master joke while setting the mission? How did they even do it?
“lol why did Geom-hu get so mad earlier and say he’d call you ‘master’ if you do the mission?”
-If that person named Joo Seo-jin catches all the bosses without dying even once… does he have to call Geomhoo Master to the general public?? Fuck hahaha
“You damn kids, I bet you think you can break that lolololol Of course you can’t break it, so that reverse freak is trying to recruit you as his disciples lololol”
Especially—earlier, when Geom-hu got irritated by Joo Seo-jin’s seemingly natural talent and said they’d treat them as a master upon mission completion, it became a major talking point.
However, that was only momentary. Soon, Geom-hu, who had been standing before the [Night Soul] game start screen watching the conversation, opened their mouth.
With a tone of disdain.
“Sigh. How shallow are the minds of those who watch my broadcast! Can they not see how profound my strategy is?”
-?
-Huh
-Strategy… I’m afraid of what’s about to come out;
-Geom-hu,,please,, this is getting,, ugly,, stop,,
Geom-hu placed a hand on their waist and, as if resigned, added an explanation while wearing an amused smile.
“Hehe. I have essentially already secured an exceptionally talented disciple. Why? Because it’s impossible to clear all the boss monsters in [Night Soul] without dying!”
The implication was that there was virtually no chance Joo Seo-jin would manage to defeat all of [Night Soul]’s boss monsters in a no-death run.
“I have already played [Night Soul] in ‘Nightmare’ mode. I’ve even faced every boss except the final one at least once. Therefore, I can say with certainty.”
Snap.
Geom-hu lifted their chin and continued speaking with self-admiration.
“Even if it’s talent bestowed by heaven, it’s merely raw talent. If someone was an ordinary person until recently… they will inevitably die to a boss monster at least once.”
-Oh..
-That sounds plausible? ..I thought you’d say that, Geom-hu?? Anyone can think that much!!!!!!!!!
Lol, you’re just saying you won’t be able to beat it because the game is super hard lol
-But fundamentally, it’s a valid point~
Hmm… Even if that talented newbie did well earlier, could they really clear all the boss monsters in Namu with no deaths, especially on Nightmare mode? That’s a bit much, lol.
-That’s a fair point
“Therefore, I can take as my disciple someone with such overwhelming talent that calling them heaven-blessed would be an understatement!”
-[Mugeuk War] Succession training plan ㄸㄸㄷㄸㄷㄷㄷㄷㄸㄷㄷ;;;;;;;;;
-The idea of catching a talented newbie and making them play [Infinite War] is remarkable..
If you make a pro gamer play Eternal Saga or Gun Ground, they’d end up playing Infinite War instead because they’re so talented lolol
-But [Infinite War] still has decent popularity, so if this talented newbie learns from our Geom-hu, they might actually be tournament-ready? I’m looking forward to it?
[Night Soul]. Everyone knows that ‘Nightmare’ mode is the worst difficulty. No one disputed it, and Geom-hu, twitching the corners of their mouth, spoke with self-praise.
“Hehe. Finally, you understand the depth of my strategy. Truly, those who watch my stream are masters indeed.”
However, not everyone agreed. A handful of viewers who were devoted fans of Geom-hu, yet harbored a toxic streak, began to mock him.
-Hmm lol? What’s your plan if you actually lose? Can Geom-hu really call himself a master to this talented newbie?
-Back when he was a pro gamer, he’d get chewed out by his seniors for not showing them proper respect, and now he’s calling himself a master to a talented newbie?? That’s hilarious lol
-Geom-hu… words don’t stay hidden… you shouldn’t speak carelessly like that… if you say things like this, you’ll get it back as karma later..
Hmph.
Of course, it was all meaningless. Geom-hu scoffed and turned his head away, dismissing the notion entirely.
‘Clear all the boss monsters of [Night Soul] on Nightmare mode without dying even once? Nonsense! That’s harder than getting struck by lightning from a clear sky! Impossible! No way!’
Naturally.
‘But… just in case, if he really does manage to clear all the boss monsters of [Night Soul], then I suppose I could call him master. Though that’ll never happen!’
Monstrous talent. No matter how exceptional Joo Seo-jin is, he’s still just a beginner. The probability of that happening isn’t high.
Though Geom-hu operates in the realm of professional gamers, that doesn’t change things. There’s no way Joo Seo-jin could accomplish what even Geom-hu hasn’t managed.
Especially not with the added condition of defeating every boss monster in [Night Soul] without dying even once.
Geom-hu let out a soft chuckle and shook his head.
‘Hehe. This is exciting. Taking on a talented individual destined for great growth as my disciple… nothing could be better.’
And so, Geom-hu snorted contentedly in the darkness, grinning with satisfaction.
‘Ah, I can’t wait to teach him [Infinite War]. When that time comes, he’ll realize just how incredible I truly am, won’t he? Hehehehe!’
All while being absolutely certain that Joo Seo-jin could never clear the boss monsters of [Night Soul] without dying.
* * *
Streaming.
After the personal broadcast ended, Joo Seo-yoon practically dragged Joo Seo-jin into his room and opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“Oppa.”
“?”
Her voice carried a note of excitement.
“Want to try being a streamer?”
It was a proposal he’d never even considered.
