71. [Infinite War] I, Joo Seo-jin. Coolness, Confirmed. (1)
Live streaming, as it turned out, was a phenomenon far more accessible than one might initially assume.
Just as sports enthusiasts write live commentary posts online while watching games in real time, streaming operated on the same principle.
Among viewers, some would broadcast play-by-play coverage from their primary community forums, whenever and wherever they pleased.

*Post Title: Suddenly decapitating the Necromancer and forcing the sale lolololololol
[Dustnet (Category: {Game / Streamer})]
*Post Title: Who the hell just said Seo-jin’s sense of humor was good, you bastard?? You wanna die??????
[Dustnet (Category: {Game / Streamer})]
*Post Title: What animal wastes the most in the world? A lion lololololololol
…
…
…
The same applied here.
Throughout my streaming of [Night Soul] gameplay, community forums overflowed with live commentary posts.
Beyond establishing a dedicated viewer base, a genuine fanbase had formed—a natural progression of events.
Yet───.
At some point, these real-time commentary posts began multiplying exponentially, eventually ascending to the ranks of trending posts.

━The moment the kill mission started, charged straight into enemy territory and systematically eliminated the archers one by one lololol
━Just full-sprint while decapitating everyone and one-shot the field boss immediately, absolutely insane fr;
【Comments】
-〔Anonymous〕: Damn
-〔Anonymous〕: Did you slow down the video playback? That’s some good taste lololololol
-〔Anonymous〕: Wow.. I had no idea what was happening when watching live, but now it makes sense lol
-〔Anonymous〕: Deliberately revealed his position to identify archer locations, then systematically eliminated them from range
└[Anonymous]: ..calling it “systematic” when all the archers got decapitated in like a few minutes seems off?
└[Anonymous]: In slow-mo it looks systematic, but realistically that’s about the level it was
└[Anonymous]: Probably a 3-minute clear; watching live just leaves you in awe fr;
A highlight moment.
As Joo Seo-jin collected the mission reward after clearing the kill mission perfectly, community sentiment erupted into fervent discussion.
-〔Anonymous〕: Anyway, every time this guy goes live he draws insane attention; how is he this popular?;
└[Anonymous]: Should we recite Seo-jin’s birth chart? Play a tribute video??
└[Anonymous]: Are you seriously disrespecting Seo-jin right now?
└[Anonymous]: [Web Source] You must respect Seo-jin, Seo-jin is… [Read More]
└[Anonymous]: That long thing isn’t it?? What is it????????????;
└[Anonymous]: ?; Now it’s not even long and you’re baiting with read more lol
“└[Anonymous]: No but like, these days there are so many kids constantly singing ‘Gu-gu-jeol-jeol’ that I feel like I can figure out what it’s about just from my brain auto-correcting it…”
└[Anonymous]: No no no, are you preparing for heaven lol
It was trending.
Video clips were being extracted, uploaded to community forums, and rising to the top of popular posts.
Well.
To be honest, it was only natural when you thought about it.
The sheer spectacle of sprinting through the Spruce Forest without pause, continuously cutting down enemies, was inherently dynamic enough to provide dopamine on its own.
The sense of speed filling the screen—an unbroken chain of one-hit-kill sword strikes and unpredictable maneuvers—created an intensity of catharsis that was simply unavoidable.
It was inevitable that the topic would dominate not just within Space Stream, but also external communities like Dustnet and Dark Side.
The footage was the kind that anyone who saw it even once could never forget, so its spread was merely a matter of time.
-〔Anonymous〕: Bet we’ll see edited versions up on YouTube by evening or early morning?
└[Anonymous]: Yeah, they probably posted a job listing for editors too. Since it’s a public recruitment, edited versions should go up super fast
└[Anonymous]: But honestly, I think this would blow up even if they just uploaded the unedited version lol
└[Anonymous]: I just uploaded hot clips related to [Mukuk Daejeon] and [Blood Bone], but they became popular, so it seems likely this time as well.
Even so, if you edit the video a bit and upload it, it would be more fun.
└[Anonymous]: ㄴIf you upload Teacher Seojin’s humor collection as a full video, it will likely get 1 million views ㄷ;
“No way that’s happening.”
└[Anonymous]: Yeah, if the reverse search has 1 million views, that could actually be possible lol
└[Anonymous]: ㄴㄴWhy are you trying to create a collection and release it on WeTube?
└[Anonymous]: No no no, ‘Well… because it’s fun’
As various discussions erupted, news of the editor recruitment spread as well.
The public recruitment for editors, openly announced to everyone since streaming began, accelerated video uploads to YouTube.
The situation was filled with praise, with almost no posts subtly criticizing Joo Seo-jin as had happened before.
Once videos were actually uploaded to YouTube and public opinion formed, establishing a solid position would be far from difficult.
Just like now.

Well.
…Small incidents like these could be found anywhere, but regardless, the positive momentum continued uninterrupted.
Perhaps that's why.
Not long after.
One of the related posts within the community suddenly drew intense attention and became a hot topic.
[Dustnet (=Category: {Gaming / Streamer}]
*Post title: Breaking News) Teacher Seojin’s channel is listed as a candidate for partner streamer ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ (* Popular posts)
└Author: Joo Seo-jin's Beloved Disciple (Author)
━We updated the list of candidates to fill the partner streamer conditions on the Space Stream homepage, and Seojin came out on top.
Amid an ominous atmosphere, signs of upheaval rippled through the air.
***
Mission clear.
Having annihilated every last one of the attackers, including Sgrurpen, Joo Seo-jin immediately returned to the carriage.
I'd completed the mission in full, and my plan was to regroup with Joo Seo-yoon to discuss matters—but her reaction was peculiar.
Tap, tap-.
It was as if fury had risen to the very crown of her head.
Joo Seo-yoon, standing before the carriage with both arms crossed tightly, tapping the ground irritably with her foot, opened her eyes slightly.
She was making a gesture to express 'I, for one, have grievances!' in full measure.
"Sigh— Excuse me. Don't you have something to say to me separately, Joo Seo-jin?"
"?"
"Why are you playing dumb?! Do you have any idea how startled I was when you suddenly bolted off alone like that?"
"Ah—."
Joo Seo-jin immediately grasped the situation and nodded in understanding.
'I wondered why she was suddenly angry out of nowhere… So she was frightened because I charged off alone?'
It made sense.
After all, charging alone into a forest packed with dozens of enemies was tantamount to game over.
However, the viewers found Joo Seo-yoon's concern surprising, as it was unfamiliar to them.
-!?
-This can't be..
-Myeong Bang-ul.. worrying about someone else…!?
-So he's finally grown up…
I wanted to help too, but I was sad because I couldn't lend my strength.
Joo Seo-yoon, who usually only schemed about freeloading, had spoken with what seemed like genuine concern, so the emotional response came naturally.
However.
"No! Think about it—I need to be close by to broadcast, provide commentary, do everything…! But you just dashed off alone, so I couldn't follow, right?"
"…."
-..?;
-Sigh
-So it wasn't worry at all, but frustration about not getting her screen time..?;
This has a certain professional sense to it, which is nice to see, but something just feels off, you know? ;;
"A pro's awareness (doing nothing but broadcasting and commenting, just loafing around on the sidelines)"
Because I'd suddenly rushed off alone, she'd been stuck unable to do anything but wait, and that seemed to be what bothered her.
Still, looking at it differently, it also meant she took the streaming broadcast seriously to that degree.
Either way, from my perspective, I felt a sense of pride, so I smiled faintly.
"Next time, I'll make sure we can go together, so don't worry. …Well, if it seems too dangerous, there'll be exceptions."
"…Wait. Isn't that just saying you'll abandon me again if the situation looks bad?"
"Exactly."
"…."
Damn, haha
Wow, look at this alpha male just openly declaring he's dumping her lol
-But honestly, for places like this where it's awkward to bring her along, going solo quickly is the right call
-'Magnet Pet Entry Prohibited Zone'
-ㄴㅇㅈㄹ hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I can't provide a meaningful translation for this text. It appears to be nonsensical repetition of Korean syllables rather than actual words or a coherent sentence.
Get out of here lol
-b-van-
Well.
Even so, there's no reason we shouldn't play safely going forward.
I shrugged and naturally shifted the topic of conversation.
"…Anyway, as long as things ended well, that's what matters, right? Let's go."
"?"
"We can't stay in the same spot for long, so it'd be better to head to the outskirts and set up a camp first."
"…Wait, hold on. Don't tell me you're planning to set up camp around here—you're going to continue the reclamation operation?"
"Of course."
I blinked as if asking why she'd ask something so obvious.
"Why would we leave after coming all this way? There are no problems."
"…Right. Sorry, but our entire operation was exposed because of the insider, so there really are no problems?"
"Yeah. We knew they'd come, so we were lying in ambush on the road, and they got completely wiped out instead. Does it matter whether there's an insider or not?"
"What? That's not─── …Wait, hold on. Huh, huh? That actually makes sense?"
"Doesn't it."
Whoosh.
Joo Seo-jin nodded, speaking lightly as if the logic were simple.
"They knew about the reclamation operation beforehand, yet got completely annihilated in the ambush? There's no need to hesitate. They're just a rabble."
-Haha
-Now that's logic
-..Tch, surprisingly sharp judgment though??
-Translation) They set up an ambush at the territory entrance and got completely wiped out in reverse, stripped bare—so you think the main force is holding strong? Doubt it lol
You're right about that lol
They knew the Church would attempt the reclamation operation, openly ambushed and attacked at the territory entrance, yet were completely annihilated.
"As long as the knight's soul is actually inside, there's no reason we can't reclaim it. We'd be dealing with enemies of that caliber, after all."
-Logic complete!
-This genius is insane lol;;
-Once I heard Seo-jin's judgment, it all made sense?
-Honestly, if they set an ambush and got their asses handed to them instead, the main base can't possibly be intact lol;
After locating a save point nearby and setting up camp, I continued speaking.
"The problem is if the knight's soul isn't inside… but well, even so, we won't know unless we go check, right?"
Whoosh.
Joo Seo-jin spoke calmly, as if affirming the rational judgment.
"Then the way to resolve the problem is already determined."
And───.
"Therefore, I'll be ending today's stream here. It's gotten quite late."
"Huh?"
-?;
-Eh
-Wait; suddenly ending the stream like that?
-Now that I think about it, the stream has been going pretty long, huh;
-Well, Teacher Seojin needs to get some rest too… ㅇㅇ;
At a somewhat unexpected moment, I announced the end of the stream.
"Thank you all for watching. See you tomorrow."
-See ya~
-Bye
-Tsk, I’ll look forward to it tomorrow, Teacher Seojin ㅠ;
I'm crying so hard.
Yeah… I don't know where you're coming from tomorrow, but I'll wait for you, Teacher Seojin.
Though the chat showed some disappointment, they perked up at the news of tomorrow's stream.
That's when it happened.
Joo Seo-jin suddenly remembered something and cleared his throat to speak.
"Oh. I almost forgot, but tomorrow I won't be playing [Night Soul] during the stream."
-Huh?
-What..did you say?
-???????????????????????????
-Suddenly announcing [Night Soul] hiatus declaration what;
Joo Seo-jin glanced at the chat window and continued speaking.
"Well. To be precise, [Night Soul] will resume in two days… and tomorrow I'm planning to stream different content."
He went on.
"We've already secured a guest who can provide content, so you can look forward to it."
-!?
-Hmm..
-A guest??
-Is there even any other content besides [Night Soul], I wonder?
-Could it be…!?
-Something big's coming omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg
The reason being───.
"───Tomorrow's stream will feature [Infinite War] as the main content."
[Infinite War].
A pure test of martial prowess—the very essence of fighting games.
He had just made a surprise announcement that this would be the centerpiece of tomorrow's broadcast.
