I Regressed but the World Didn’t Fall Apart

Chapter 24

Transcendent Hunter’s Streaming -24-

024.

Ding-

[‘GoodGoodGod’ has donated 1,000 won.]

-There is a God, and he is currently on Twok

-This is crazy for real

-You’re doing great

-Is he a god? Is he a god?

-Wow

The chat window still climbing at an incredible speed.

Ding-

[‘God(GOD)’ has donated 10,000 won.]

-I don’t know.. What is that.. I can’t do that..

-hahahahaha

-Surprise appearance, what’s that

-hahahaha that bastard, he’s the one from earlier, the guy who turned from a disciple to an AI

-Really lol

-The nickname change is impressive

Back then, through the chat with Doné, all kinds of jokes including blasphemy were flying back and forth.

Clang-!

Yido Hyuk was still focused on the battle.

Even though he had taken down dozens of zombies, the battle was far from over.

Still standing were the three unharmed Cloé and Méredèr.

“aaargh-!”

At that moment, a scream erupted from Chloe.

“Ugh.”

Instantly, Idohyuk’s body trembled.

In his hunter days, he might have focused his magic on the opponent’s open mouth, but it seemed like such ultrasonic attacks in “Eat Kills Two” were designed to be unavoidable in the system.

Shoo-

Seizing that moment, the Mereders rushed towards Idohyuk.

Unlike before, these ones had their transparency function restored.

Of course, Mereder’s transparency was not perfect.

Even considering that transparency would fade when hit, if they were completely transparent during an attack, it would be an incredibly challenging clear level for regular gamers.

Kwee-ek! Kwee-ek!

– Ah, they’re transparent again.

– Hmm, isn’t this getting a bit tough now? How do you block with an axe?

Mereder’s main attack pattern was to approach with a transparent body and bite.

And right at that moment, just before sinking their teeth into the player, the transparency of the creature would fade.

Hence, the general strategy was to incapacitate Mereder’s transparency function. If unable, one had to wait for the moment when the creature’s mouth was visible and then hit it with a shotgun or a flamethrower to knock it back.

But Idohyuk had no means to do so.

Consistently hitting the vital spots, his axe disregarded the equipment’s attack power, yet it was still impossible for him to fend off Mereder, who could probably swallow a person in one gulp, with just an axe.

– Gotta dodge.

– With Docen’s reaction speed, he’ll probably just dodge it.

– Got it.

By now, viewers had somewhat adapted to Idohyuk.

It might be difficult to react quickly if the transparency faded just before an attack, but…

Based on what they had seen of Idohyuk so far…

From Noble mtl dot com

They should naturally be able to evade, right?

Viewers had reached a point where such expectations were feasible.

-?!?!

-No way, lol.

But even they hadn’t anticipated this turn of events.

Before Mereder’s transparency faded.

Whoosh!

Even though there were no signs of an attack yet, Idohyuk was already moving.

Was he predicting the invisible opponent’s attack?

A movement filled with a certain conviction.

Crack!

Slightly delayed, Mereder’s mouth, now visible without transparency, sliced through the air.

Thwack!

In a swift leap, Idohyuk soared over Mereder’s torso.

A wound could be seen on the upper part of his eye from the invisible attack that had just been revealed.

That’s the guy from earlier.

But the place to aim wasn’t that area.

I’ve already confirmed the defensive capabilities of the guy’s scales.

Just like when facing a pretty tough creature in the early stages of the game, I could continuously strike there to break through the defense, but that method is inefficient.

‘I don’t know if the game has implemented something like this.’

It was worth a try.

Aren’t game developers the ones who pay more attention to such tiny details?

Whoosh.

Kyaaah-

His prediction was correct.

Along with Mereder’s scream, green bodily fluid splattered.

I’m not sure if it’s a real snake, but regardless, Mereder is a creature in the form of a snake.

As such, there was a gap between the scales surrounding him.

Not too thick, just a small gap where his axe blade could barely cut through.

That’s exactly where I aimed.

Whoosh!

Once again, the axe blade split Mereder as it passed through.

Unlike before, a solid sensation lingered in my fingertips.

Now, all that’s left are two guys and the final boss.

-How did it break through?

-Did you hit where you hit last time?

-Seems like it.

-Kya

-For real, his physical strength is insane.

-Oh, hitting where you hit before is cheating lol

-Mereder: Ah, wait, I got hit in the bone

It didn’t seem too difficult.

Ding-

The notification sound keeps ringing incessantly.

[‘jjh7704’ has donated 100,000 won.]

-Well done!

[‘ㅇㅇ’ has donated 10,000 won.]

-Is that really Ido-hyuk? Is that really Ido-hyuk?

[‘Sudden Death Demon King’ has donated 5,000 won.]

-I’m just a student, so this is all I can give.

[‘troll washing machine’ has donated 30,000 won.]

-Shivering…

[The ‘Genius Hosoin’ has donated 10,000 won.]

-For real, is this a full dive on the 2nd day?

Countless donations were pouring in.

“······.”

Normally, one should respond to at least some of those numerous donations, but Jian just remained silent.

It was because the impact hadn’t worn off yet.

Even viewers watching Idohyeok’s play through the screen were going crazy.

How could she stay calm right in front of it?

“···Wow.”

Simply letting out a quiet admiration was the best she could do.

Idohyeok and Jian, who had just cleared the stage, stood side by side.

An ending video played behind them.

However, in the chat window, it was not the ending of [Eat Kills Two], but only discussions about Idohyeok.

-Kya

-My achievement: Watched today’s broadcast

-Insane!

-Wow

-Really did well watching today’s broadcast

“Thank you all for the donations. I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

Instead of Jian, Idohyeok expressed gratitude for the pouring donations and chatted with viewers.

There was no sign of fatigue from the battle, and he appeared quite composed.

It was natural, really. Unlike Jian, who was still unable to focus due to her brother’s play, Idohyeok himself didn’t think much of his recent performance.

If anything, he felt a bit disappointed.

‘A bit regretful.’

Just when things were getting exciting.

It ended faster than expected, leaving a slightly anticlimactic feeling.

He found the Ultimate Fighter match from earlier more interesting.

Especially the opponent who wielded a sword, there was a particular thrill in fighting against them.

It wasn’t just about the difference between game mode and reality mode.

It was about the variety of patterns, adjusting the timing of offense and defense, and psychological battles.

In more action-oriented games, even monsters have AI applied to them, but unfortunately, within [Eat Kills Two], there were only a few attack patterns inserted by the developers, making battles too easy once those were understood.

Of course, not everyone could do it, but according to Idohyeok, it wasn’t at an unreachable level.

“This time wasn’t particularly challenging.

And so, these words came out of Idohyeok’s mouth once again.

-Huh?

-hahahahaha

-Phew

-‘That statement’ came out

-As expected, it’s easy.

-The difficulty of AI is hilarious hahahahaha

Once again, chaos erupted in the chat window.

It was now Do-hyuk’s comment that had become a sort of meme.

The sight of Do-hyuk casually spitting out things that others wouldn’t even think of attempting.

And the fact that it was all genuinely 100% sincere was the entertaining point for the viewers.

Ding-

[‘DoHyuk’sDisciple’ has donated 10,000 won.]

-Teacher, thank you for the lesson today. I enjoyed watching you take down Mereder with the ‘hit where you hit’ technique from the last class!

-Kya

-Well learned

-Indeed a disciple

-Are you still accepting disciples?

-Is that the person from earlier?

Then, a donation alert rang out.

Upon hearing it, Do-hyuk’s face showed a shocked expression.

“Oh… no. That was… I targeted the gap between the scales and struck…”

-Really?

-There was a gap in the scales? Or well, there might be, but you targeted that?

“Yes. Um… I can’t believe even the disciple didn’t see that… um… yes. That’s possible, right?”

-hahahaha, but your disappointed expression though

-hahahaha, you’re stripped of your disciple status

-You’re talentless as a disciple

“Oh, right. Everyone,

[‘BlackOak’ has donated 100,000 won.]

-You are amazing as always!

Then, BlackOak, who was watching the broadcast or coincidentally donating at that moment.

As a considerable number of those who had found the current broadcast were his viewers, the chat room greeted him.

-He was lurking around

-hahahahaha, if you wanted to boost views, you should have come right away

-Is BlackOak’s YouTube video up?

-Yeah, he must have edited and uploaded it immediately after giving instructions in real-time

-There’s still someone who hasn’t hit the like button hahahaha

-For real hahahaha

“BlackOak, thank you for your donation today. It’s a relief that you didn’t dodge the mission this time.”

“Hello, BlackOak.”

-Oh

-What a big spender

-What’s the reason for the hefty 10 million donation?

– If you’ve sucked up the views, you gotta shoot ’em~

– Turn on the broadcast, Black Oak.

Black Oak, hitting the mark and leaving just right.

Today, he didn’t even turn on his own broadcast.

It was a choice to divert viewers to Ji-an’s broadcast.

It was a favor allowing the use of Idohyuk and Ji-an’s appearances in the YouTube video.

[‘Black Oak’ has donated 100,000 won.]

– hahahaha, I’ll take off now, so carry on with the broadcast! See you at the next collaboration!

Black Oak, leaving after another donation.

But the chat went wild over that content.

– Oh?

– Collaboration?

– Collaborating together?

– Whoa

Viewers from Black Oak’s broadcast naturally reacted, and as he was a famous streamer even among the Itmagalers, everyone showed enthusiastic responses.

“Oh. I forgot to announce it.”

Idohyuk thought as he read the donation message sent by Black Oak.

The collaboration proposal he left was already accepted before today’s broadcast.

But he forgot to inform the viewers about it.

“Oh, right.”

Looking beside him, Ji-an seemed to have forgotten too.

Of course, it’s a collaboration in words; it’s not as grand as meeting in person in reality.

A VR collaboration conducted remotely.

As discussed earlier, it seemed like a broadcast where Black Oak, an experienced streamer who had tried various games, would recommend suitable games to Idohyuk.

If we were to nitpick, as Idohyuk is closer to being the “expert,” the content of the collaboration is thoroughly centered around him.

[‘ㅇㅇ’ has donated 1,000 won.]

– Are you both doing it together?

“No, not me. It’s just my brother who will be broadcasting with Black Oak.”

“Yes. And at that time, Ji-an will meet you through my broadcast, not hers.”

– Ohh

– Whoa

– Well thought out

– Wasn’t this person a streamer?

– He’s a regular person lol, only on his second day of full dive.

– ????

– I’m tired of explaining, come after reading the broadcast notice.

– That’s right.

– Pfft

The chat sped up at Idohyuk’s words.

Of course, many viewers had already anticipated what was coming.

In today’s world, isn’t it obvious that it’s becoming common for ordinary people appearing as guests on broadcasts to showcase extraordinary physical abilities?

They either become broadcasters or get scouted by professional teams to aim for a career as a pro-gamer, one of the two.

Considering that her younger sister is a streamer, there was a high possibility that Lee Dohyuk would choose the former.

Moreover, what Lee Dohyuk had shown so far was limited to the console game “It Kills Two,” where professional gamers do not exist.

– What should your streamer name be?

– hahahaha if your sister is Ji An Chu, shouldn’t yours be Dohyuk Chu?

– Dohyuk Chu hahahaha

– Maybe… it could work?

“Well, I was thinking of using just my name without anything extra.”

– Lee Dohyuk?

– Sounds a bit plain

– Why not Sanghyuk, sounds good

– Dohyuk’s fine hahahaha

– Sounds good to me

– Really?

“Yes, I just thought the name sounded good. I wanted to be called by my name without any other nicknames or such.”

Lee Dohyuk said so, glancing at Ji An.

Though Lee Dohyuk adored his younger sister more than typical siblings would, he couldn’t help but think, “As much as I love her, Ji An Chu is a bit… It’s a bit much for fans to ‘chu chu’ every time she goes live on air…”

That was the sentiment in his eyes.

“How about Ji-An-Chu!”

Could he read her mind?

Ji An shouted at Lee Dohyuk, who was looking at her.

“I didn’t say anything!”

“…With your eyes, you did.”

“Me? Come on, no way.”

“You definitely did. Right? Did you all feel it too?”

Seeking agreement from the chat window, Ji An.

“Did I do that, everyone?”

– Nope

– No clue

– Talking to yourself

Yet again, the viewers sided with Lee Dohyuk.

Ji An looked shocked.

Although it was Ji An’s broadcast, in reality, most of the viewers were practically Lee Dohyuk’s fans.

Seeing the reactions in the chat, Lee Dohyuk chuckled and said, “Sis, I think Ji An Chu is a great streamer name. But even so, I can’t help but feel that Ji An Chu is… a bit too cute, don’t you think?”

“Pro-fi… Profi… Profit?”

-hahahahaha

-I felt this last time too, but it’s true that Dohyuk-sensei has no talent in acting.

-Acting? When it’s so obvious?

-hahahaha, they are really siblings.

-For real, hahahaha.

Viewers chuckled at the sibling moment between Lee Dohyuk and Lee Jeean.

“Anyway, I am satisfied with just Dohyuk.”

-Dohyuk-chu, you’re so funny, hahahaha.

-How can someone’s name be Chu?

“hahahaha, you’re all amazing.”

Jeean muttered as she manipulated the broadcast screen.

It was time to end the broadcast.

Having cleared [It Kills Two], the timing was just right.

Normally, she would have some communication time before ending the broadcast, but…

“If I want to keep up this excitement until Oppa’s debut, this is the right move.”

There were mentions left by Black Oak about the collaboration, and Jeean’s usual calm communication time with her fans didn’t quite align with the emotions of the viewers who had been enthusiastic about Dohyuk’s physique.

Therefore, she thought it was better to end it now rather than let the tension drop for no reason.

-So, are you debuting as a streamer from tomorrow?

-Did you create an account? Let us know so we can follow you.

-When will you start broadcasting then?

“Oppa, I left a link to my account in my Twitter bio. As for the streamer debut…”

Jeean glanced at Oppa and opened the calendar.

There, a red circle was marked on tomorrow’s date.

Dohyuk spoke up.

“Tomorrow. 8 p.m.”

-Oh

-Just one day until the debut!

-Exciting!
