I Became a Malicious Streamer

“What’s this guy’s name again?”

I asked while kicking the boss’s limp head on the floor.

They said a new test subject had arrived, but he turned out to be nothing special despite the ominous vibes.

[Agent of War, huh?]

[So they say.]

[He’s just a mad scientist role that comes with every game.]

[And yet there’s a scientist here.]

[If you break it down, he’s more of a dark sorcerer.]

[This guy usually isn’t the type that gets taken down so easily…]

[I caught Hope the Swift in just three tries, after all.]

[At first, he seemed to take hits but then he dodged everything.]

[‘So slow.’]

[Oof, scary.]

[A monster lives in Switch.]

[Watch out for Sergeant Mollbuy…]

[He learns in real-time even though I don’t know his pattern, wow.]

[AI-level learning ability.]

[This hunk of scrap, this is human strength.]

[??? : I’ve lost, human.]

[Can I really consider him human?]

[The transcendent Mollru.]

“It’s a bit hard to catch him because of some strange hit detection and disregard for attacks, so it takes time, but it’s not difficult.”

As a game streamer, I shared key points on battling the Agent of War.

[What are you talking about?]

[Basically, it means it’s hard for everyone else, but not for me.]

[Just clap if you don’t get it.]

(Clapping emoji for Susu)

[Look how pathetic that emoji is.]

[But doesn’t Mollru make emojis?]

[Seriously, there’s no vibe to subscribe.]

[He’s too lazy to stream; isn’t he unlikely to create anything?]

[He’s 100% a P.]

[Lazy Ryeon.]

“Lazily Ryeon? That’s a harsh thing to say. I’d say I’m fairly diligent, you know? I even dug a café.”

[What’s the name of that café then, lol?]

[Left a notice and just closed the Switch community.]

[Ah lol, I knew you’d shut it down to avoid socializing in the community.]

[When did you create it?]

[It’s created, lol. Can’t you just join it on your own?]

[Really? Send me the link.]

“Huh?”

I checked the notice I had left earlier while also verifying the café link Si-young made for me.

And it hit me.

No wonder there weren’t many subscribers; I hadn’t left the link.

“Ah, I was supposed to leave the link but I forgot. I’ll announce it after finishing Dragon Road.”

I realized after months of streaming that I should never give viewers a chance to latch onto anything.

As expected, the viewers came charging in like a swarm.

This was my chance, and I was excited to grab the opportunity.

[Legend;]

[For real, it’s a reggae Ryeon.]

[So you were selling it a week ago?]

[How did the finders discover it?]

[Time Bill Gates can do anything, lol.]

[What’s a Time Bill Gates?]

[A jobless person.]

[Ah.]

“I’ll also make a subscriber emoji soon. Actually, should I just make it today? This Dragon Road seems like it’s about to end soon.”

[That remark.]

[The audacity!]

[Info) The average clear time for Dragon Road is approximately 30 hours.]

[But honestly, I’ve spent only 3 hours and I’m about halfway through.]

[Doesn’t it take around 10 hours to catch a dragon?]

[That’s for regular folks.]

[Sensei finishes in one minute, lol.]

[That’s a bit;]

[Why are you suddenly so diligent?]

[I do all the busy work of making a café and a subscriber emoji, lol.]

[This is a bit excessive.]

[Actually, I’m just cramming all the lazy work for today, so it’s not really diligence.]

[The expectations are so low that anything I do feels like a lot…]

[The new Mollru is different.]

[I’ve decided to become a new person.]

“The average playtime is 30 hours? That’s longer than I thought. If not today, then I’ll just play tomorrow. What? You ask if I’m streaming tomorrow? Well, yeah, I’ll stream if nothing comes up. I said my goal is to stream every day, right? What do you mean ‘taking a break for a few days’?”

[Your words are well-articulated.]

[You’re quite the sly one.]

[Evasive maneuvers lol.]

[Look at those hands shaking.]

[Wily Ryeon;]

[I’ll let it slide this time.]

[Yeah~ I plan to let it slide next time too.]

I sat down to recover my warrior’s dwindling health while communicating with the viewers.

It was time for me to move forward again.

As I entered the command to get my character up, I was about to set off.

-Achievement Unlocked!

#Rest for the Lost Souls

-You swiftly dispatched the Agent of War and liberated the souls bound to him. With such an achievement, a new route opens up.

*Clear Condition: Defeat the Agent of War within 30 minutes, and sustain less than 5 hits.

“What… what is this?”

I abruptly halted in my steps, staring at the screen blocking my view.

A challenge? Was there such a system?

I wondered if the viewers knew anything about this and slyly glanced at the chat room.

[What’s this, lol?]

[They created something like this?]

[Is this some kind of Easter egg?]

[Look at those harsh conditions, lololol!]

[There aren’t many who take the Agent of War route, and there’s probably no one who defeats it this easily, hence no one knows about it.]

[First time I’m seeing this for real.]

[Isn’t this the first for a streamer?]

[It is the first, lol. It hasn’t even been a week since the release.]

[A streamer who creates buzz whenever they’re live.]

[Issue-type streamer, wow.]

I tried to tap into the collective intelligence but it seemed the viewers were equally baffled.

I cleared a challenge, and judging by their reactions, it seemed to be the first since the launch.

It was also a good thing that I’d caught the attention of YouTube.

“So what now? I cleared the challenge, does the story branch?”

As I shouted this, the window in front of me changed.

-The Path of the Holy Warrior

Go to the Forgotten Temple; there lies a way (Accept/Decline)

“It seems the route is branching. Do I really have to go? It sounds annoying.”

[Go go go go go go go go!]

[You must go, what are you even saying?]

[Skip-Chung;]

[If you want to get the YouTube pick, you have to go!]

[Since it says temple, it’s likely related to a paladin, right?]

[Just hearing the name paladin already sounds amazing.]

[Special job, wow.]

[Heavy armor romance, yum!]

[Will I be able to use holy magic and all that?]

Seeing the chat reactions, it seemed I had no choice but to go.

I had to think about the YouTube pick, yes, the YouTube pick.

I clicked ‘Accept’ on the prompt that appeared, and a yellow arrow appeared on the previous map.

“It says to follow, let’s go check it out.”

Following the arrow as if guided by a navigator, I arrived at a temple structure that looked almost ready to collapse.

As I stepped inside, the screen went dark and an event cutscene began.

Against my will, my warrior took steps towards the center of the temple, where a certain figure appeared.

-O you who bears the holy will, heed my call.

*Will you undertake the Holy Knight’s trial event?

– Accepting – Allows acquisition of Holy Knight class skills.

– Declining – No event progress.

[It doesn’t seem like the story branches?]

[Choosing to stop, wow.]

[This part is similar to the previous game.]

[Let’s go for the trial!]

“I’ll accept.”

Even if I can’t eat it, it’s all good.

Trials can’t be that hard, right?

Surely, it’s just a matter of fighting someone.

I felt this wouldn’t be too tough.

Upon accepting the choice, the previously frozen screen began to move.

Just as I expected, the trial was a battle with someone.

-O you who accepts the trial, face the hardships.

*Pure White Knight Helperte.

“Are you a newbie? Let me teach you a thing or two.”

A holographic apparition quickly took shape, donning solid armor as the man spoke solemnly, gesturing with his hand.

As he drew a massive sword stuck to his back, he took up a combat stance.

“A lesson, you say?”

I readied my weapon, as if to keep the rhythm and fell into a stance.

[Lesson, lol.]

[‘Romance.’]

[Helperte? That name doesn’t sound trivial.]

[We all know Mollru’s gonna win, so there’s no tension here.]

[This isn’t a physical-viewing stream, anyway.]

As if giving me the first attack, Helperte stood still with drawn sword.

I charged at him, aiming to get a feel for his pattern, planning only to use a basic cancelable attack.

“You don’t stand a chance!”

*Boom—!

As expected, my attack was thwarted by the violent wind kicked up from his swung greatsword.

His response was surprisingly fast, considering his size and the weight of his weapon.

Moreover, whether it had some sort of special effect or not, my warrior’s hand trembled after the clash.

“What’s this? A stamina decrease? There’s a debuff if I get countered. I’ll have to check things out.”

[Wow, this is tight!]

[You can’t just attack recklessly, lol.]

[How is he that fast with a greatsword?]

[They’re deadly designers behind this game;]

The intensity was palpable.

Though this was merely our first exchange, it felt much more advanced than the bosses before.

But oddly enough, I welcomed the challenge.

Finally, a boss worth cooking something for had appeared, I thought.

[This suddenly got interesting!]

[Feels tense; I don’t think he can clear it in one try.]

[For real, lol, I don’t think even Mollru can clear this in one attempt.]

The viewers seemed to share my enthusiasm, all showing signs of interest.

I pointed my sword at Helperte without hesitation and declared,

“Streamer’s first event boss, the攻略 of Helperte starts now.”
