Viewer Count : 9,126 (※SUPER HOT!!!)

The streaming window. 

Beneath the broadcast title was an unprecedented viewer count she had never seen before, along with the “SUPER HOT” marker. 

The commotion did not stop.

《 Streaming Settings 》

[Chat Window: Switched to ‘Subscriber / 6 Months’ Mode.]

Only viewers who have subscribed to streamer ‘Myangbangwool(wntjdbsdlqslek1231)’s regular membership for 6 months or more can participate in the chat window.

That applied even to those who had subscribed to Myangbangwool’s—meaning Ju Seo-yoon’s—regular membership for more than six months.

I feel like I’m losing my mind!! 

I feel like I’m losing my mind!! 

I feel like I’m losing my mind!!

Turn the stream on! Turn the stream on! Turn the stream on! Turn the stream on! Turn the stream on! Turn the stream on!

Myangbangwool, I’m seriously going to go insane at this rate. 

Please bring Teacher Seo-jin here, I’m begging youㅠ

When is Teacher Seo-jin coming?? 

When is Teacher Seo-jin coming??? 

When is Teacher Seo-jin coming????? 

When? Is? Teacher Seo-jin? Coming????? Huh??

Was the one who fought Crack really Teacher Seo-jin??? 

Explain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurry up and come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crack VS Ju Seo-jin <<< Any Myang viewers who still haven’t watched this need to go watch it right now, yeah; If you don’t watch this, you’re losing out so fucking hard lol

Holy shit; Myangbangwool’s viewer count shot way the fuck up; No.. should we call them Teacher Seo-jin’s viewers, not Myangbangwool’s..? 

I’m dizzy;

Even when no video was being broadcast through the streaming window yet, the chat window blazed hot.

It could not be helped. 

The video clips known as “Crack VS Ju Seo-jin,” which had become the trigger that occupied every single one of Space Stream’s trending ranking pages, were far too stimulating.

Fuck lolol Crack VS Teacher Seo-jin << This is still legendary even when I watch it again lol I can’t believe I lived long enough to see a pro-gamer lose in [Limitless War] to a newbie who only just started virtual reality games

Wow.. 

But isn’t this seriously huge? 

Someone like Crack has fucking solid fundamentals; And he still beat him;

Crack <<< a fraud pro-gamer who got fucking stomped by an ordinary person on day 2 of virtual reality games ......is something we shouldn’t say, riiiiight?? lol;

Honest opinion..) 

It’s not that Crack played badly. 

Teacher Seo-jin is just a fucking natural monster.. I think he unfolded the Larkranz Style in an incredibly textbook way.........

What the hell is Teacher Seo-jin, for real? 

Is this guy ex-special forces? 

Or did he work as a mercenary at some PMC or something?? 

If not, this makes no damn sense???

I’m seriously getting curious about what kind of person Teacher Seo-jin was.. 

What did he do, for real?; I can’t even guess;;;

Pro-gamers. 

Professional players who had learned Gaming Martial Arts specialized in it because they had inherited the essence of modern martial arts and partially inherited the standing once held by old martial artists.

A pro-gamer who had learned Gaming Martial Arts possessed lethal abilities that could reduce an ordinary person to a pulp in the blink of an eye even in the real world, not just in virtual reality games.

Moreover, [Limitless War] was a kind of sacred ground even among Full Dive content, a place where highly skilled practitioners of Gaming Martial Arts, which had been heavily influenced by real combat martial arts, were gathered.

Pro-Gamer Families. 

Even among prestigious families that had developed Gaming Martial Arts, passed them down for generations, and continued advancing them, reaching [Limitless War]’s “Lord of Martial Arts” was highly recognized.

That was why words such as “It’s just a game anyway, it’s nothing more than electronic entertainment anyway” no longer worked in modern society.

Under the premise that a virtual reality game enjoyed worldwide popularity, its average lifespan easily surpassed several decades.

In the history of virtual reality games, which had lasted seventy years—no. 

Now, nearly eighty years.

Gaming Martial Arts had reached a point where neither its traditional legitimacy nor its practicality could be looked down upon.

[Limitless War] was a pure proving ground of skill where one could recognize the pure practicality of Gaming Martial Arts and continue bloody battles to the limit.

It was a sacred ground for martial artists, one recognized even among pro-gamers.

In other words—

Real-time) Elios saw Crack VS Ju Seo-jin < through a video donation and called him “Lord of Martial Arts-class” Holy shit, that’s insane.

For real?

Huh? 

Is this true?

Wow.. It really is..? 

If even Elios said that.. this is huge. 

That means it wasn’t luck or a fluke at all..

Elios?? 

Is that legit? 

Is it the Elios I know?? 

The Elios from one of the three great families of [Gun Ground]?? 

From the Ashburn Family?

Yeah; It’s that Elios.. He’s from Ashburn.. and he apparently played [Limitless War] ever since he was little.. so this is....

If that really is Teacher Seo-jin.. that means he’s on the level of someone from a pro-gamer family.. Does that make sense..? 

Fuck;

It meant that as a gamer, Ju Seo-jin possessed skill on par with an active pro-gamer or a family line of pro-gamers.

That was what it meant to have beaten Crack in [Limitless War] through pure skill. 

That was why everyone had no choice but to grow excited and full of anticipation.

They had no choice but to want to confirm properly whether the person who had truly faced and defeated that Crack was Ju Seo-jin himself.

Naturally.

?

Uh

E mer gen cy! Something big is coming!

Holy shit, I’m shaking.

Holy shit, the streaming waiting screen turned off!!!! 

The stream is going ON soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it Teacher Seo-jin?? Is it Teacher Seo-jin? Is it Teacher Seo-jin??? Is it Teacher Seo-jin???? Is it Teacher Seo-jin?????

And then…

Swoosh───

The streaming window. 

At the same time the video broadcast program showed the pure white space of the Select Room... Ju Seo-jin began to appear, pushed forward from behind by Ju Seo-yoon, who was shoving him by the back.

Kya....................

At looooooooooong last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big one is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Seo-jin’s stream is ON lolololololololololololololololololol

The greatest genius in history who even insults active pro-gamers, Ju Seo-jin, has appeared Sh-sh-shit, I’m shaking.

“Um...... Well- hello. I’m Ju Seo-jin. It’s nice to see you again. I look forward to being with you.”

Expressionless.

It was an opening line for a stream that showed no change in emotion and, at a glance, could even seem insincere.

However, that was enough.

Among nearly ten thousand viewers, the chat window, which only regular membership subscribers were allowed to use, began heating up to an unprecedented degree.

At the same time—

Ding-a-ling— Ding-a-ling— Ding-a-ling—

[ donated ‘100,000 won.’]

Are you the ordinary person who fought Crack in a 1:1 in [Limitless War] and won?? 

Are you from a pro-team academy? 

Where did you come from?

[ donated ‘100,000 won.’]

Was it you who did a 1:1 [Limitless War] match with Crack a few hours ago? 

Are you really on day 2 of virtual reality games? 

You’re not lying??

[ donated ‘100,000 won.’]

Are you, Ju Seo-jin, the ordinary person who fought Crack? 

I’m curious where you learned Gaming Martial Arts. 

Please answer!!

...Donations burst out in a frenzy, enough to fill the audio without a single gap.

***

Ding-a-ling—

[ donated ‘100,000 won.’]

How old are you? 

Early 20s..? 

You look 23? 24? 

Is that right? 

Do you not have any thoughts about becoming a pro-gamer??? 

You have all-time talent, seriously?

Ding-a-ling—

[ donated ‘100,000 won.’]

Teacher Seo-jin, it was really you who fought Crack and won, right?; 

People keep saying it’s a deepfake video.. It’s not, right??

Ding-a-ling—

[ donated ‘100,000 won.’]

Don’t play things like [Limitless War].. Please play [Eternal Saga].. [Gun Ground] is fine too.. You’re young,, Your talent is going to waste,, Truly,,

.........

......

...

‘It’s chaotic.’

Streaming. 

After the personal broadcast began, Ju Seo-jin tilted his head as he watched the voice donations and video donations continue exploding for several minutes.

‘Mm. I don’t know what’s going on... but everyone is incredibly excited. At this rate, I can’t even answer anything properly...?’

Well, of course, it was not impossible to answer every voice donation one by one. Ju Seo-jin could catch and remember every voice donation that burst out by the second.

However, he did not feel the need to do that. 

There were far too many people asking the same questions or asking again about facts that had already been revealed yesterday.

It probably would not be good to respond to each and every one of those.

Because, literally, there would be no end to it. 

If he repeated things he had already said one by one and an atmosphere formed where people could continue hearing the same answers over and over, nothing good would come of it.

‘And. I haven’t formally started my own personal broadcast yet. This is Seo-yoon’s broadcast, so I shouldn’t do anything that hurts her.’

Even if Ju Seo-jin was rather lacking in tact, it was not as if he was completely incapable of judging the situation.

No. 

Rather, when it came to forming relationships between people like this, there were many parts where he had some sense for it.

People judged something based on the existing image they had recognized first. 

If he dragged his existing image or impression in an unfavorable direction at this point, there was a high possibility it would harm him later.

‘In that case, it’s better to take on a little risk... and pull the direction where I want it to go.’

After Ju Seo-jin finished judging the situation, he turned around with an expressionless face and moved his lips.

“Seo-yoon. The donation Minimum Donation Amount- you can raise it, right? That... Raise it to double the existing set value.”

“...Eek. Y-You’re going to raise it even more here? T-Twice as much? Then you might not be able to receive as many donations as you want, Oppa. Are you serious?”

“Yeah. It’s necessary. Do it.”

“...Mmm. Fine, then.”

With a strange reaction, as if she found it a little unexpected, Ju Seo-yoon pursed her lips before nodding and operating the streaming window.

Tap-tap-tap—

[Donation: ‘Minimum Donation Amount’ has been adjusted to ‘200,000 won.’]

A donation of at least ‘200,000 won’ is required to donate to streamer ‘Myangbangwool(wntjdbsdlqslek1231).’

And at the same time, as the minimum donation amount in the streaming window was set to 200,000 won, the voice donations that had been noisily filling the audio vanished all at once.

It got comfortable!

Kya.. Even if he’s a money-grubber, he hasn’t lost his broadcasting sense....!! 

It feels so refreshing now that he wiped out all those fucking noisy voice donations lol

Fuck lololololol You have to burn 200,000 won for one voice donation?? 

That’s insane lololololol

But this is the right response, yeah; Those bastards who didn’t watch the broadcast kept asking and asking and asking about things that already came up yesterday, and honestly speaking, it was fucking annoying lol

What are you doing? 

Hurry up and worship. 

God Seo Jin!!!!!!!!

Now we can just listen to him slowly tell the story lol

Everyone cheered when the absurdly noisy voice donations that had been obstructing the flow of the stream disappeared, but only for a short while.

Ding-a-ling—

[ donated ‘1,000,000 won.’]

Are you, Ju Seo-jin, the ordinary person who faced the pro-gamer, Player ‘Crack,’ in a 1:1? 

If that is correct, I would like to ask where you learned the Larkranz Style, which pro-team academy you came from, and what your background in Gaming Martial Arts is. 

I’m also curious whether you have any intention of becoming a pro-gamer.

Huk

1 million won—holy shit, I’m shaking.

Kya.. A Big Spender. Holy shit;

A Big Spender, and they even organized the question nicely lololol fucking nice.

? Isn’t that person a strategy analyst from Team ROLON?? 

What is this;;

It really is? 

They’re a strategy analyst.. Is this big enough for even someone like that to come and ask?;

Insane. 

Holy shit, I’m seriously trembling.

One million won.

The moment one of the viewers summarized the questions so far and asked while pointing only at the key points, Ju Seo-jin blinked and blinked again before answering.

“Well...... I did receive instruction in [Limitless War] from Player Crack in a 1:1. As for Gaming Martial Arts, I don’t know what you mean by background. And I don’t particularly have any intention of becoming a pro-gamer.”

And then—

“Mm. Also- a lot of people are asking where I learned this thing called the Larkranz Style...... If you mean Player Crack’s unique movements- mmm───”

With a frown, Ju Seo-jin was shown even touching his chin as he sank into deep thought... and then, the audio caught him muttering to himself in a very small voice.

“I just... did it because I could?”

?

Huh?

Bullshit..?

fr??;

???????????????

Fuck.. What did he say?? 

What???????

He just confirmed that he saw the Larkranz Style and learned it on the spot, fuck lololololololololololol

Lol..? 

Is that real?? 

This is really real?? 

Wow lololol It’s fucking over!! 

Talent fucking ruined this game!!

...His purely innocent mutter dealt the viewers a shock and stirred up a massive storm.
