57. [Blood Born] A Hidden Ending Already…? (1)
Conjoined Twins.
The moment the boss known as the gatekeeper of [Blood Born] fell, a torrent of fervent reactions erupted across the internet.
The community was no exception.

*Post Title: [Blood Born] Seo-jin cleared Conjoined Twins lololol
[Dustnet (Category: {Gaming / Streaming})]
*Post Title: [Blood Born] ‘The Genius of Skill Streaming’, the Great Seo-jin OMG
[Dustnet (Category: {Gaming / Streaming})]
*Post Title: [Blood Born] Did Seo-jin seriously already break the hidden route???????????????
…
…
…
Live commentary posts.
Within the gaming streamer community, viewers began posting live updates as they watched Joo Seo-jin’s stream in real time.
Normally, they wouldn’t have posted commentary threads so openly, but things were different now.
He had officially debuted as a streamer and was broadcasting for the first time.
Since he had already drawn attention and generated buzz before officially debuting as a streamer, being noticed was inevitable.
Even more so if one didn’t discriminate between praise and criticism.
[Dustnet (Category: {Gaming / Streaming})]
*Post Title: Since when do we get commentary posts about some unknown streamer? This is viral marketing lol?
Even as the positive reactions continued to pour in, some voices of resistance began to emerge.
Naturally, they were those who resented Joo Seo-jin’s rapid rise in such a short period.
The type you could find anywhere, anytime.
However───
-[Anonymous]: lmao
-[Anonymous]: Hmm..
-[Anonymous]: Are you an idiot…?
-[Anonymous]: If you haven’t heard of him, that just means you’re clueless about gaming, you bastard lololololololol
└[Anonymous]: fr
└[Anonymous]: But this isn’t even clueless level, you just don’t watch gaming streams at all?
└[Anonymous]: Honestly, if you’re serious about that post, you’re not clueless—you’re just completely out of touch??
└[Anonymous]: Just go ahead and trash his skill instead, you idiot lol what viral marketing lololololol
A stark contrast to the hostility from not long ago—comments now flooded in one after another.
-[Anonymous]: Hey.. can someone list Seo-jin’s credentials??
└[Anonymous]: Are you seriously disrespecting Seo-jin right now? Seo-jin literally opened the hidden route immediately upon starting a virtual reality game for the first time and beat pro gamer Crack in a 1v1 and received a shoutout and learned gaming martial arts by himself and got a collaboration offer from Geom-hu and earned recognition from pro gamer Heuk-wol so you need to respect Seo-jin
└[Anonymous]: ‘That long thing’
└[Anonymous]: Stop it, you crazy bastards lololololololololololololol
└[Anonymous]: Is this a rap or something? Take a breath while you’re typing, asshole lol
-[Anonymous]: All these toxic fans showing up is hilarious, seriously lololololololol
└[Anonymous]: This must all be thanks to Joo Seo-jin’s blessing…
“It’s not even a swarm of locusts, what’s with the speed they’re coming at lol”
└[Anonymous]: First of all, it seems clear that it is not something I have heard about. ㅇㅇ;;
└[Anonymous]: Lol that’s crazy hahahahaha
Unable to merely defend, the scene unfolded with a cascade of increasingly hostile attacks, as if transitioning into a full-blown offensive.
[Deleted Post]
[Deleted Post…]
[Deleted…]
…
…
…
-[Anonymous]: ? Why are you guys suddenly deleting all your posts lol
-[Anonymous]: So they were trying to go viral, and now that they got caught, why are they pathetically deleting it? lol
-[Anonymous]: Teacher Seojin’s exclusive biological viral bots are funny????????????? Don’t underestimate me again ㅇㅇ
└[Anonymous]: Distant bio viral bot lol
These guys are absolutely insane lol
└[Anonymous]: They said it was so bad, fuck it hahahahahahaha
A remarkable spectacle unfolded as numerous community users gathered one by one.
-[Anonymous]: Wait… it’s only been a few hours since the first broadcast, and a fandom already formed..??
This was the moment when streamer Joo Seo-jin’s fanbase came into existence.
-[Anonymous]: But he’s not a rookie streamer, is he?
└[Anonymous]: ?? Actually, he’s definitely not a rookie streamer????????
└[Anonymous]: If it wasn’t for the streamer label, they’d just be a guest pulling aggro and chasing clout anyway lol
└[Anonymous]: Real talk, he’s been pulling insane attention lately and debuted, so calling him a complete rookie is a bit off
└[Anonymous]: ‘An experienced newcomer’
└[Anonymous]: Fact) That’s it
…But now, this fandom had a mischievous streak to it.
* * *
Meanwhile.
While the internet community burned with fervor, the stream continued without pause.
Joo Seo-jin, the very center of attention, proceeded with his massacre with an utterly serene demeanor.
Swift and decisive.
After defeating the Conjoined Twins in [Blood Born], the scene unfolded with seamless progression through the next stages.
Crack—.
「 Achievement Unlocked 」
-Lock Breaker
* Hidden Achievement. You forcibly destroyed a lock and opened the path. …But, was a lock originally supposed to open like this?
Having shattered a lock that should have remained sealed, I ventured deeper into the Mountain Lodge.
Creak—screeeech───.
-Violence is bad…?
* Hidden Achievement. You initiated a continuous barrage of attacks before your opponent could even finish speaking. …Of course, thanks to that, everything became considerably easier, but it’s a concerning development.
I cleaved the mob that suddenly appeared before me in a single strike, then entered the Grand Mansion situated within the Mountain Lodge.
Whoosh—crack, splinter—shatter! Crack, crack crack—…!
-Perfect accuracy, a sharpshooter?
* Combat Achievement. You hurled melee weapons and struck enemies over 30 times. …Though I’m not sure if “sharpshooter” is the right term for this.
I repeated the same pattern: if enemies drew close, I finished them with the double-barrel shotgun; if they kept their distance, I hurled the fire axe to bring them down.
…
…
…
“Hmm.”
Whoosh, swish.
Joo Seo-jin held the double-barrel shotgun in one hand while spinning the fire axe in the other with a ‘whirring’ motion.
After laying waste to all the grotesque, zombie-like enemies scattered throughout the Grand Mansion’s hall, he spoke in a low tone.
“I’d say we’re pretty much done here.”
His tone was almost casual, as if he’d simply emptied a trash bin.
“Let’s move on.”
“….”
Composure.
From the moment we entered the Grand Mansion hidden within the Mountain Lodge’s exterior, his demeanor remained utterly unchanged.
The surreal sight—one that didn’t feel like playing a horror game at all—left everyone speechless.
The same sentiment echoed everywhere.
-Is he a barbarian or something?
-What’s with just hurling axes at every mob and splitting their skulls open lol;
-Shouldn’t melee weapons have been banned when the mission was set???????
“Ugh… When I gave out the mission, I should’ve anticipated this and set stricter conditions… sigh…”
“How was I supposed to predict that you’d swing that axe around and split the heads of every single mob in sight, damn it”
Are you crazy?? Isn’t it weird to expect that? lololol
Isn’t it too harsh to expect someone to anticipate that? lol
The viewers too were astounded by Joo Seo-jin’s absurd display of raw physical dominance.
And then—
– An unexpected intruder, I see.
– Do you know the saying that curiosity killed the cat?
– It’s a term for trash like yourselves, who don’t even understand basic courtesy.
– Because of that petty curiosity of yours, you’ll suffer in eternal agony without ever finding death—
Crack, splinter.
– Ugh, u-uuugh…!!? Kgh, ack!!
Crunch, snap.
– Hack! Ke, eeeeeek───!!?
Clang—shatter—boom—bang———!!
The mid-boss positioned on the staircase leading to the next floor met the same merciless end.
Crack───.
I embedded the fire axe into both shoulders and the tops of my feet, fixing my position as if driving nails into a wall─── and finished it off with a point-blank shot.
「 Achievement Unlocked 」
-So there’s no secret origin story or anything like that?
* Combat Achievement. You fight excessively well, are excessively violent, and are excessively obsessed. …Are you really just an ordinary human?
Thump…
-Didn’t even wait for the transformation to finish before stabbing repeatedly and killing it lmaooooooo
-The achievements are all so perfectly crafted lmaooooooooo
-???: ‘Curiosity killed the cat, do you know such a saying?’ (while getting one-shot)
-Is this a joke lmaooooooooo
-Didn’t know how terrifying Seo-jin’s ‘curiosity’ was…
-Curiosity that summons death lmaooooooooooo
-Well, something did die because of curiosity, so it checks out lol
Defeated.
Before the creature could even shift from its human form into its mutated state, it became a cold corpse under the relentless barrage of attacks.
“Hmm.”
Perhaps that’s why.
Joo Seo-jin retrieved the fire axe embedded in the corpse, tilting his head with a peculiar expression.
“Come to think of it, haven’t the enemies been getting a bit weaker lately?”
With a hint of dissatisfaction, Joo Seo-jin continued, his eyes reflecting something he’d been pondering.
“I wish opponents like Conjoined Twins would show up more often—ones capable of decent teamwork. It’s a shame.”
-?;
-Conscience kicking in?
-But… Conjoined Twins is one of the strongest bosses in Blood Born..?
-Wait, you’re treating a final boss-tier enemy like a random mob you encounter on the street…?
The viewers sighed at yet another outrageous comment.
-I want to take the red pill fr;
-No, why are the mobs so weak- (x) Oh, I’m just strong (o)
That’s the right way to think about it.
The scary part when you think about it is that this is actually the truth…
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ahhh! Argh!
When you really think about it, it’s not that it’s not scary, it’s just… actually scary?
However, Joo Seo-yoon, who had been following behind, simply nodded in agreement without comment.
“Mm-hmm, exactly. Action horror games are problematic if they’re too terrifying, right~?”
“?”
Joo Seo-yoon, who had nodded in agreement with Joo Seo-jin’s words, let out a chuckle.
“Hehe. Still, that kind of confidence won’t last long, you know?”
With a grave expression and striking a pose, she spoke as if delivering a warning.
“The end of [Blood Born] is drawing near, so once we enter the final boss battle, you’ll be sweating bullets…!”
“Hmm. How do you know the final boss is close? Is there something like that?”
“Heh, that’s a trade secret. Don’t ask for details. You might get hurt.”
“….”
Of course, when Joo Seo-jin gave me that wide-eyed stare, I belatedly added another comment.
“Ahem. A genius’s intuition… let’s call it that. Like Sherlock Holmes, you know? Then you understand, right?”
-Genius (no) intuition (no) Sherlock Holmes (no)
Not a single word of that makes sense.. lol
Wow… hey, you’re a genius, a real genius~ a genius at lying lol
-Not a trade secret, you just studied ahead, didn’t you?
“So Daechi Kids was the king of advanced learning…”
Haha, no way lol
The confrontational kids of the gaming world lol
With such evasive words, Joo Seo-yoon lifted the mood and pointed to Geom-hu, who had been strolling beside her with his arms crossed.
“Therefore! From now on, you’ll need to stay on your toes too, Geom-hu. Hehe.”
“….”
Ssssh.
Geom-hu nodded slowly, languidly stroking his chin, then opened his mouth.
“Hmm… well, I must admit it does make me a bit tense. It might be good to think ahead about what comes after.”
“!”
But.
“Since it seems the ending won’t take much longer than expected, it would be wise to plan some post-game content.”
“???”
“I’d suggest Myeong Bang-ul also think about post-game activities together with me.”
“….”
It was an answer closer to denial than agreement.
“Wait. You’re not joking, are you…? Surely you’re kidding?”
“Of course, but I am not speaking in jest.”
Geom-hu spoke calmly, moving along with unhurried steps, his words drifting past like a breeze.
“Since the ending will come soon, it wouldn’t be bad to do some post-game activities moderately.”
“….”
At his confident words, Joo Seo-yoon let out a hollow laugh.
We’d only been in [Blood Born] for less than three hours, and he was talking about post-game content?
It felt like nothing more than counting chickens before they hatched.
“Come on~ surely not. No matter what, the final boss battle couldn’t be cleared that quickly───”
* * *
And then.
* * *
「 Achievement Unlocked 」
-Blood Born
* Hidden Ending. A concealed Achievement—you have finally vanquished all the blood kin and committed a terrible massacre. Perhaps it was you, and you alone, who truly heard the call of blood.
“….”
About an hour had passed when Joo Seo-yoon saw the System Message appear, her eyes hollow as her mouth fell open.
“A hidden ending already…?”
She had cleared all the way to the final boss stage of [Blood Born], including travel time, in roughly an hour.
The thing was───
“Is this real…?”
This had all happened less than four hours after Joo Seo-jin started his first broadcast.
