Chapter 12: Unravel (1)

‘Didn’t she definitely say Older Brother?’

But a girl?

Something was strange.

Furthermore, Haim said her older brother was a returnee.

Everything was full of questions.

‘…Alright. Let’s not worry about it.’

It was better to just let this go.

Anyway, everyone has their own circumstances, and there was no good in worrying about it.

As soon as I turned on the broadcast, 10,000 viewers came in less than a minute, and it rapidly increased, breaking 20,000.

‘Wow….’

This was the first time something like this had happened.

Even when I did a collab with a famous celebrity, I barely surpassed 20,000 viewers, but the viewer count was already close to 30,000.

[LoHa]

[Lh]

[LoHa]

[Lh]

Rona immediately entered broadcast mode.

“Hello, LoGoDan (fandom name) everyone!

Today, as announced in advance, we have invited a guest!”

[-Guest lolol]

[-That hacker?]

[-Hacker welcome welcome]

“Alright, please welcome them with lots of applause!”

As the camera turned towards the guest, the guest shyly greeted them in chat.

“Hello. I’m GochuwangLeeHaim, here to explain the hack controversy this time. Please call me Chuwang as usual.”

[-Seonga, what is Chuwang for a girl? lolol]

[-How can the name be Chuwang lol]

[-Class is Mage lolol]

[-Hacker, nice to meet you lol]

“Alright, everyone, stop saying ‘hacker’ after today! Because now is the moment that title is shed! Everyone, please come to the PVP arena.”

Just as they were about to move to the PVP arena, an unexpected answer came.

“Can we perhaps do PK in the field? I want to do some gold farming.”

“PK?”

[-PK lololol]

[-Gold farming lol]

[-This bich hasn’t come to their senses]

[-Crazy lololol]

Everyone looked at me strangely.

Why?

Isn’t gold farming something you do every day as a matter of course?

If not, you lose potential income.

“Alright, just a moment. I wasn’t expecting this, I’ll ask the other participants.”

Rona asked the LoGoDan members she had recruited beforehand, and fortunately, positive answers came back.

“Fortunately, they accepted, but there’s a problem.”

“Problem?”

It was embarrassing to say something like this out loud, but I couldn’t help it.

“Well, yes, if you’re a hacker, they said they want the ring you took from me back.”

[-The fans (over-invested viewers) have arrived lololol]

[-Did that ring still not sell lol]

[-It was expensive lolol]

“Uh… Unni, you don’t have to accept.”

Seonga thought for a long time.

The ring, it hasn’t been sold yet, so I can give it back, but it’s something to give for free, so I should set a condition too.

“Then I’ll set a condition too. If I win, tell those guys to hand over their best-in-slot accessories.”

[-Still the same lololol]

[-Accept quickly so I can report them as a hacker lololol]

“…Fortunately, a message accepting came.”

Good.

I should spend that on gacha in other games.

“Alright, viewers, please warp and come to this side.”

Five characters warped and arrived in front of us.

‘One Warrior, two Rogues, two Fighters…’

I expected everyone to come as Rogues, the overpowered PVP class, but it was a surprisingly ethical lineup.

This much was manageable.

[Hi]

[Hi]

[Hi]

[Hi]

[Hi]

Five users sent greetings to us, and one person turned on their microphone.

“Are you really a girl?”

‘……?’

Everyone looked at me.

It seemed like they were talking about me.

I sighed and turned on my microphone out of necessity.

“Yes. Nice to meet you.”

[-???]

[-Voice is super good lolol]

[-Voice is really Tier 1 lolol]

[-Rona, you try making your voice like that too]

Along with the chat saying my voice was good, the LoGoDan members who came to participate were shocked.

Seriously, have they never seen a female PK user before?

“Alright, everyone, where shall we set the map first?”

“It’s troublesome for me, so I’d like to just use this map, is everyone okay with that?”

[Okay]

[Not particularly?]

[We’ll win anyway]

[Confidence is fcking awesome]

[Okay]

“Alright, then we’ll use this map. Everyone, please go to your designated positions.”

We went to our designated positions.

I went to the highest clock tower, and the viewers moved to the giant mansion.

The LoGoDan members turned on their mics and communicated how they would proceed.

“Guys, what are you all going to do?”

“I think the most important thing to be careful of is not getting picked off individually.”

“I agree. I had my accessories taken by that person once, and the Mage’s damage is strong.”

As long as they were careful about getting picked off individually, they had the advantage with their numbers, and with two Rogues, the overpowered PVP class, it was a fight they absolutely couldn’t lose.

[Start!]

Rona announced the start of the game in chat, and everyone prepared to move.

Bang!

“……!”

As the Rogue who was at the very front took one step forward, a magic circle on the ground shone brightly, and a huge explosion occurred.

A notification message popped up.

[‘Kurungkurung’ has been PK’d by ‘GochuwangLeeHaim’.]

***

From high up on the tower, I could see the burning village.

[‘Kurungkurung’ has been PK’d by ‘GochuwangLeeHaim’.]

“Caught already.”

Today’s fortune was Minor Luck, so it was natural that my luck was better than usual.

‘How foolish, to accept it immediately?’

I had already laid trap magic and CC skills all over the map while testing the broadcast.

Furthermore, Rogues were known as squishy classes like Mages, so even one skill hit was critical.

Since one Rogue, an overpowered class, was already dead, only 4 were left.

[-Crazy, laid trap magic beforehand lolol]

[-Isn’t this a scam?]

[-So that’s why they asked if it was okay lolol]

I briefly checked the shared chat window.

There were many opinions among the viewers as to whether this was a scam.

It doesn’t matter.

My motto is that you must use all means necessary to win.

The LoGoDan members turned their backs to each other and didn’t move.

It was natural.

They couldn’t carelessly move in a situation where they didn’t know where the traps were laid.

‘But if you don’t move like that, I have no choice but to interpret it as asking me to attack, do I?’

[Skill: Meteor]

I’ll send the ultimate right away.

Seeing the meteor falling from the sky, the LoGoDan members briefly separated to dodge.

I must not miss this opportunity.

[Skill: Mist]

Originally, this skill only had the effect of reducing the accuracy of monster attacks, so it wasn’t used often in practice, but I specifically chose it because it had the effect of applying a blind debuff to regular users.

Mist covered the entire map.

The LoGoDan guys were flustered and ran around trying to find each other, but unfortunately, they just moved further apart.

All preparations were complete.

Shall I start hunting then?

***

Lee Hoseong, a LoGoDan member who succeeded in participating, felt only frustrated.

“fck, I can’t see sh*t…!”

He couldn’t see anything ahead because of the fog.

No matter how hard he tried to find his comrades, they weren’t visible.

‘If I knew this would happen, I would have brought a debuff removal skill.’

“Where is everyone? Let’s share our locations.”

“I’m west of the village.”

“I’m east of the village.”

They each told their locations, but the map was useless because of the fog, and he couldn’t even confirm the position of the sun, making him feel like he was going crazy with frustration.

‘Huh? Is that…’

A human-shaped shadow was visible through the fog.

A comrade?

Or an enemy?

About 2 seconds passed, and three fireballs flew towards him.

‘It’s an enemy!’

Lee Hoseong activated ‘Skill: High-Speed Movement’ to dodge the attack and quickly approached the enemy.

‘It’s too easy…?’

He could already picture countless viewers praising him as a hero.

[Skill: Poison Stab]

Lee Hoseong activated the skill and attacked the enemy with a dagger coated in poison.

“……!”

But what happened?

The enemy disappeared from his sight in an instant.

“What is it? The skill was definitely… again…!”

Lightning Chain flew from the rooftop of the building next to him.

This time too, he easily dodged with a movement skill and activated his skill.

But just like before, the enemy had disappeared, and his skill missed.

He understood that it was due to a skill, but he had no idea what skill it was.

“Hah, want to try this…?”

Lee Hoseong was confident.

He was a Rogue, an overpowered PK class, and he would never lose to a Mage or something similar.

He kept going.

Dodging the enemy’s attacks with movement skills and then using his own skills.

But as time passed, cold sweat dripped down.

His movement skills were running out.

“Where the fck are you…!”

Now he had only one movement skill left, and the rest were all on cooldown, waiting.

This was his last chance.

“That’s it…!”

A shadow was visible in front of him.

He didn’t know what trick she had used, but he had to catch her quickly.

[Skill: Ambush]

This skill allowed the user to instantly teleport behind an enemy or ally, and it was the main contributor to why Rogues were called an overpowered PK class.

“Found you!”

This time, the enemy didn’t disappear like the others.

He quickly stabbed her in the neck with his dagger.

“…….”

“…Why isn’t it moving?”

His body wouldn’t move.

He could kill the enemy in front of him with just a little movement, but he couldn’t even budge.

“…Puhahaha!!!”

“……?”

The hacker in front of him turned on their microphone and started laughing hysterically.

Did they have schizophrenia?

“How can you attack a clone made of illusions? You’re so stupid.”

“Shut up…!”

Being destroyed like this hurt his pride.

She’s not scared of the heavens just because he went easy on her since she’s a girl.

“Want to look down?”

“……!”

Below, overgrown plants were binding him.

It was a Crowd Control skill, as commonly known.

“How did you know I would use Ambush…!”

Ambush is a skill that attacks the enemy’s back.

Thus, it was safe to assume that the enemy knew he would use his last Ambush and lured him while setting up a CC skill behind them.

“It’s simple. I know all of the Rogue’s skills.”

[Skill: Volcano]

“……!”

A red magic circle formed below, and flames erupted.

[‘Ultimate Rogue’ has been PK’d by ‘GochuwangLeeHaim’.]

In the end, contrary to Lee Hoseong’s delusion, he met his end with his entire body burned.

***

Unlike Lee Hoseong, there were also viewers who met each other instead of splitting up.

“We meet here.”

“It’s great to see you.”

The two Fighters shook hands and became friendly.

Meeting in a situation like this, they couldn’t help but be happy to see each other.

“Did you see the notification message earlier?”

“Yes, the Rogue-nim in the end….”

Two Rogues, an overpowered PK class, had been defeated.

Now they absolutely couldn’t let down their guard.

Thump thump.

Footsteps were heard.

The two immediately took combat stances.

Was it an enemy or a comrade?

What came out of the fog was none other than their comrade, the Warrior.

Only then did the two of them relax their expressions and let down their guard.

“Nice to meet you. Now we can’t lose.”

“Indeed.”

A lineup of two overpowered Fighters with easy operation difficulty and strong close combat, and a Warrior who was an all-rounder in all aspects, had gathered.

It was a combination that absolutely couldn’t lose.

“By the way, where is that person?”

“Right. Did they get scared and hide?”

While the two Fighters looked around, the Warrior suddenly activated a skill from their greatsword that had a knockback effect.

[Skill: Gust Wind]

“What is this…!”

“Mr. Warrior, what are you doing!”

The two Fighters who were hit by the sudden knockback effect were distanced from the Warrior, and unfortunately, they stepped on a trap.

Bang!

Bang!

However, fortunately, they weren’t a squishy class like Rogues or Mages, so they survived safely.

The Warrior dispelled their transformation and returned to their original form.

The Warrior’s identity was none other than GochuwangLeeHaim disguised using ‘Skill: Doppelganger’.

‘Tsk, they didn’t die in one hit, perhaps because they’re Fighters.’

I gradually approached them.

As the two Fighters approached with confident expressions, activating their skills simultaneously, I activated the skill I had prepared.

[Skill: Trick]

A square cube appeared from my hand, covering the entire surroundings.

It was the Mage’s only movement skill, with the effect of swapping positions with a designated enemy or ally.

Just in time, a trap magic was about to activate under my feet.

As a result….

Bang!

Bang!

The positions of the two Fighters and GochuwangLeeHaim were swapped, and the trap magic activated, causing a huge explosion.

[‘CheonanNuclearFist’ has been PK’d by ‘GochuwangLeeHaim’.]

[‘BaseballThreeBats’ has been PK’d by ‘GochuwangLeeHaim’.]

The two Fighters died.

Now there was only one enemy left, the Warrior.
