– Today’s Fighter One-Champ Master Ultimate Skill 1:4 Ruckus.clip

―――

Watching in real-time, the Fighter is showing some absolutely ridiculous plays.

I collected viewpoints one by one from the streamers in the same game.

(San-deng’s viewpoint clip)

(Cactus’s viewpoint clip)

(Moon Si-hyun’s viewpoint clip)

―――

– Wow

– This guy is seriously insane.

– ???

– What the heck is he dodging with just basic attacks and some skills?

– I’ve seen it so many times, but how the heck did he do that?

– What was that line during the Jutsu Rotation? Lol

ㄴ That’s something he mentioned as a mission; he doesn’t even know what it is.

ㄴ Wow, her voice is really pretty.

ㄴ That breathing is really enticing… where’s she streaming from?

ㄴ But, is there a reason to be breathless like that while playing Fiore?

– Did he not show his face?

– What tier is this?

ㄴ Master

ㄴ ? That’s insane.

– What? Is the Fighter’s movement speed always that fast?

ㄴ Took the biggest speed object and within the Fighter’s ultimate, it’s 5 stacks constantly maintained.

ㄴ The value of the Fighter’s ultimate is already good, the problem is that it’s widespread, lol

ㄴ Aside from that, dodging all of that is just crazy… what even is that?

ㄴ Seriously, whether it’s him or Cactus, I still can’t comprehend how they did it.

– Is this seriously not a hack?

– ??? Is she a girl?? No way!

– A female reality deal actually exists!

– Cactus’s reaction is really funny lol

– No way, this doesn’t make sense;

– Is this really Master??? Can’t even do that at Challenger tier!

ㄴ Judging by what he’s doing, it seems he only relies on high-risk high-reward.

ㄴ Just has bad game sense, only got Master 320 points through physical prowess.

– This is seriously so cool; I’m going to fight!

ㄴ Ah please.

– Sansu mentioned him.

ㄴ Who’s that newbie?

ㄴ A 32-year-old who’s been number one in Challenger before.

– Cactus, San-deng’s pre-broadcast chitchat transcript.TXT

Cactus

… Ah. I’m really getting sentimental. Is it because I’m slightly late?

You say I should stop whining and play a round? Would you want to play if you were in my shoes? Want to leave?

Haa……

No. I’m suddenly really upset. You know how it is; it just hits you like that. Suddenly feeling choked up. Normally, I don’t do this on stream.

(Chat: Why?)

Why, you ask? Of course, it’s because of the last match. I really feel a huge wall right now. It’s been a while since I felt that. You all saw it too. Do you think that makes sense?

(Watching the replay again)

Wow… can I even pull off a play like that once?

I don’t think so… crap. Ugh!! Crap…

Chat: You’re a Reality Deal, right? You wouldn’t even make it to Diamond without it.

Hey!! Don’t be ridiculous. I was Master before without being a Reality Deal. Want to fight me about it?

Haa… this sucks.

Oh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have this attitude on stream.

But let’s talk a bit more. This is the fun of streaming, after all. Communicating and uplifting each other. A little late-night stream vibe. Right?

Everyone, I’ve spent my entire life in Fiore since school.

I gave up on college and just ran away to focus on Fiore. Eating, playing Fiore, sleeping. That was my life.

And yet, I’m still stuck as a Master. But this person has only been playing for less than two months and has already made it to Master 300 points.

Isn’t this person supposed to be a pro? Why are they still just a Master? Oh, I think I know the reason…

Hey. I’m a Reality Deal, but how does our team’s Reality Dealer feel? We literally lost because of Si-hyun. Hah…

(Takes a puff from an e-cig)

Chat: Isn’t Master tier really high?

High? It’s high, but… everyone, Master tier feels like… the tail of the dragon? It’s like this.

I’m the best among regulars, but among those who’ve put their lives into it, you can’t say I’m that great. You get what I mean?

Still, sometimes you see those ridiculously talented people; every time, it just grinds my gears. I originally dreamt of being a pro. Damn it.

(Watching the replay again)

Is this really okay? Shouldn’t this not happen? I mean, shouldn’t this not be happening this season…

This season has pretty much castrated individual carry power. What on earth does that even mean if someone does that alone? Back in the old Fiore, how far could this person have gone?

By the way, how old is Si-hyun?? (Looks at the chat) 21 years old?? No way…! Wait, seriously? Wow, that’s four years younger than me? Wow… that’s insane.

Seriously, it’s hitting me hard.

Chat: They say if there’s a four-year difference, you don’t have to look at compatibility; just confess.

…… (Reads that chat and suddenly struggles to hold back laughter)

Why are you laughing so mischievously?! Get out of here!! What are you talking about?! I’m just jealous of youth! And I don’t even know what you look like… don’t push this on me!! Please.

But when should we schedule a game? Of course, I have to stream while doing it. If I shut it off and just the two of us, I might get embarrassed.

You saw it earlier. If you mess around too much there, the elite troops become wrecked.

Ah… I should start wrapping up the stream. Damn, today we’re going for a drink.

San-deng

(Game results screen)

Wow. Seriously, a win like this. Wow… that’s amazing. (Claps a few times)

But seriously, how did you win? Wasn’t it a 4-man ultimate from Moon Si-hyun?

Chat: The opposing team’s HP had dropped quite a bit.

I mean, it wasn’t like they were on the verge of death; they had about 2/3 HP left. Even if they were on the verge of death, you can’t win a 1v4. Let’s take a look.

(Plays Moon Si-hyun’s ultimate again)

What the… (Replays)

No way. (Replays)

Hey. (Replays)

… (Replays)

… (Replays)

(…pauses and goes silent)

Huh… is this person human??? Huhuhuh…

I’m a bit dizzy? Is this really how they won? Wow, you’re amazing. Seriously.

Was that forced buff from I-Speed for this? Wow… this doesn’t make sense. It just doesn’t.

I’m going to have to ask Pickle (Challenger acquaintance) if this is even possible later. Seriously, why are you still a Master?

Oh, it’s not long since you reached Master? Then you’ll probably hit Grandmaster soon, right?

But how long has this person been streaming? Wow… not even a month yet.

What? High-Ability Person? Damn… beast… you guys should just leave. This won’t do. No one should say anything you can’t say to a woman. Huh?

Huh? So the High-Ability Person said they wanted to be called that? Really? What a fun person, hehehe…

(Chat: San-deng, don’t steal Cactus’s woman this time, please…)

No~ Hey. What am I stealing~ And when did I ever steal? You’re sounding scary?

And why is she Cactus’s woman? How much have you seen? Huh… anyway, the listener’s comment attack is just… huh?

I guess I’ll add you as a friend too. No, no. I really just wanted to ask something since you play so well. Ugh~ Seriously.

Do I not like that girl?

What!? Cactus is apparently crying because he got demoted? Pff…

Should I go comfort him~?

Afterwards, hosting ends.

―――

– Looks like Cactus felt the wall pretty hard.

ㄴ He made it sound fun, but he looked pretty pitiful.

ㄴ The play was seriously insane.

– Physically, he’s definitely not a human; I totally understand their reactions.

– San-deng, is he handsome? No cam, but what’s with the reactions?

ㄴ Just a guess, but it sounds like they’re a rich kid based on what I hear around…

ㄴ Damn.

ㄴ Cactus and he are truly at opposite ends, lol.

– San-deng is really a weirdo, lol.

– Their life tendencies are totally opposites, but why are they close?

ㄴ It’s usually opposites that attract.

– I shouldn’t be solo ranking for a while.

ㄴ I can already see the future.

– What’s with Moon Si-hyun?

(Clip of Moon Si-hyun using her ultimate and saying “Ryoiki Tenkai, Muryou-Ku-Shou-“)

Was she a total geek?

– No, it’s a mission lol

– High-school graduate Satoru, da-da-da.

ㄴ Hahahahaha ㅅㅂ

ㄴ Ahh… “Top of the Korean Entrance Exam” Satoru here.

ㄴ What even is this, you geeky brats?

– Honestly, not a geek, but kinda cool.

– She’s about to escape Hako soon… already getting involved with big corporations.

ㄴ T_T

―――

– Wow, damn lol

– Thanks to this, I closed the Fiore game I was playing.

– I got caught too; I seriously wanted to kill them.

ㄴ No, that bastard suddenly went offline during the team fight, then jumped back in and took down all the enemy dealers and came out as a corpse in 3 seconds.

ㄴ Hahahahahaha

ㄴ Moon Si-hyun ruined a bunch of people.

ㄴ Hahaha damn.

– Honestly, Moon Si-hyun is impressive for climbing to Master 300 points with such a character…

– Wait, did Moon Si-hyun have such a big influence?

ㄴ To be more precise, San-deng and Cactus are the real big shots.

ㄴ If you’re someone who plays Fiore a bit, you know both of them.

―――

Thus, Moon Si-hyun caused a massive stir in the streaming and Fiore community.

However, of course, the person in question herself was completely unaware of that.

Happiness is closer than we think. I realized that recently.

Right now, at midday, warm sunlight is coming through the window.

I’m going to do one of the many things that make me feel happy.

I cover Ggomgomi with a blanket.

I put Hyeok-dori and Gomi on both sides of the blanket, and I include the bear too.

Just like that, I hold Ggomgomi and push my body between Ggomgomi and the bed.

This way, I’m surrounded by Ggomgomi on top, Hyeok-dori and Gomi on both sides, and the mattress behind.

Then I wrapped my limbs around Ggomgomi’s body. I tightened my grip.

It’s soft. It’s fluffy. It feels delightfully heavy.

“…… Hmph.”

All kinds of stimulating sensations stirred in my head.

“Phuh……”

Squeezing Ggomgomi until I can hardly breathe, I nuzzle my cheek against it, then pulled my face away.

Before I knew it, the corners of my mouth were lifting up. From what I felt, my rising mouth corners were always out of my control.

“……”

Then, for a moment, I felt a certain impulse.

An impulse that felt like I shouldn’t be feeling. An impulse that made me wonder if this was okay.

I glanced around nervously. My lips parted, then sealed. That repeated several times.

And then.

“…… Goodbye, Ggomgomi.”

In the end, I said it and immediately got up. Why did I call out? It’s an inanimate object. My face heated up in an instant.

I’m hungry.

I ate a few bites of the leftover cake on the table. Thanks to the support from the viewers, I was able to have it.

I thought I wouldn’t need to eat for a while. From now on, I really must eat sparingly.

This time, I’ll eat just this one more time.

I want to play Fiore.

I stepped onto the treadmill. At this moment, I’ll start streaming.

With this, I’ve done things to make my mood better three times now.

If I’m too happy, and if it feels like this life will continue, I realized that my heart would race like it’s going to burst.

When I started streaming, viewers started coming in.

They came in.

…… More came in, and even more came in.

The viewers soon surpassed 1,500.

―――

Hey there

Please let me hear your voice

Hello

Is this the master of Fighters?

Hey there

Greetings

Why are there so many viewers all of a sudden?

―――

Why are so many of you coming in?

“Umm… I really appreciate that you’ve all come in, but today is the day I start my part-time job. So I won’t be able to stay long. I’m sorry.”

―――

Wow, what a voice.

Sister…

Yes

Sounds good

Are you going in with the Squirrel?

―――

Oh, so you donated 1,000 won.

Can you perhaps give a lecture on Fighters? I really enjoyed your video.

―――

Oh

I agree

I agree

So curious

Let’s go.

―――

“…… A video? I’ve never posted one… by the way, a lecture?”

A lecture.

That long-lost word made my heart beat once.

―――

“I’ve never given a lecture, but I’ve heard I’m good at teaching in private tutoring.”

When old stories came up, it made me feel happy for no reason.

And now, to think that people are showing interest in Fighters. My heart fluttered a little.

―――

Hmm

Really?

Hmm

Wow, this concept was real after all.

―――

“I’ve even received bonuses from mothers before, and I’ll explain while I play. I definitely know the theoretical parts. That alone got me to where I am.”

―――

Oh

?

Hmm…

Theory

So I guess you’re preparing to debut as a VTuber, haha.

Hehe.

Okay, okay.

Nice, nice.

Let’s sit down.

―――

The game didn’t take long to get started. I immediately picked the Fighter at the character selection screen.

―――

You donated 1,000 won.

How do you increase the traits?

―――

“Eh? Traits?”

……

“What’s that?”

―――

?

??

It’s something you set separately.

You don’t know about traits???

―――

……

“Eh?”

―――

?

Ah, lol

You do know about it well, right? ㅅㅂ
