The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

Changing my streaming nickname from ‘Sha’ to ‘Shia’ was quite a significant decision.

Of course, my MeTube channel still bore the name <EvilTube>, but on Twipod, I proudly revealed myself as <Shia>.

The viewers’ reaction to my new nickname was far better than I had anticipated.

– Look at this guy’s expression lol

– He’s as bright as if he’s relieved himself after being constipated lol

– But it’s true that he’s been reevaluated because of this incident

– Personally, I like him more now thanks to this incident. I used to think he was just a crazy villain, but turns out he’s a villain with a backstory lol

The Evil Gang still ran rampant in the chat as usual, but one new element was added.

‘King of Betrayal’ donated 1,000 won!

A new meme of betrayal had been added to my broadcast.

At first glance, it might seem like a meme mocking and ignoring me, but it could be seen as the Evil Gang’s way of embracing the incident in their style.

I looked at the donation and smiled.

“Betrayal? The betrayal I did was a good betrayal. I’m proud of it.”

The chat heated up at my words.

– lololololololol

– Good betrayal, bad betrayal lol

– Betrayal is just betrayal, there’s no good or bad, you jerk

– If you can say that in front of Kan, I’ll gift you a subscription

– Bro… you’re really disgusting today?

The jokes about betrayal would probably continue for quite a while.

I had already braced myself for this while preparing for my comeback broadcast.

In fact, in the current online communities, I was called ‘Betrayal Master’ more often than ‘OurEvil.’

I subtly continued to communicate with the viewers while revealing the screen of <Dark Spirit>.

“As I mentioned earlier, today’s game is Dark Spirit. Ah, during my break, I watched other streams, you know that Shia Challenge?”

Lee Nak-joon, a member of the <Gaia Online> development team, was also part of the team that made <Dark Spirit> after they became independent.

It was also the company that benefited the most from the VR Star.

Originally, <Shia> was a special mode they created for the VR Star.

However, they cleverly included <Shia> in the official release, which led to the great success of <Dark Spirit>.

It was a game boasting high difficulty and the unique experience of encountering the nostalgic <Shia>.

Moreover, since I confessed the truth in Korea, the interest had greatly increased, making its success inevitable.

I continued speaking slowly while watching the chat.

“Honestly, the streamers aren’t doing it right. So today, I thought I’d give a taste by doing a guide broadcast.”

Although it wasn’t the main event for today, it could still make good content for a MeTube video.

The <Shia Challenge> that started in Korea was spreading rapidly overseas.

The viewers responded positively to my words.

– I like whatever you do.

– A Shia guide by Shia lol. If I watch that guide video, can I conquer OurEvil?♥

– Explain in detail part by part.

– Top-notch instructor ON.

– Recognizing the authority of Shia

As expected from the Evil Gang, there were all sorts of crazy perverts in the chat.

…I might have become a madman myself.

Seeing those chats, I felt more reassured rather than anxious.

I lightly nodded and started the tutorial for Dark Spirit.

As experienced in VR Star, <Shia> appeared only after slaying the initial tutorial monster, the <Wraith>.

Over 80% of the streamers couldn’t even defeat the <Wraith>, so they couldn’t encounter the true boss (?) <Shia>.

Of course, it was understandable since even that Wraith contained my AI.

“Let’s start the lecture.”

As I entered the tutorial, the old man I had seen before appeared.

However, his reaction was different from last time.

It was because I was holding a red glowing sword.

It was a special item, the <Wraith-Infused Sword>, obtained after killing <Shia> last time.

The old man, seeing the sword, murmured.

“You, who reincarnates through countless times… A gift awaits you beyond that shadow.”

None of the broadcasts I watched during my break had that line.

Even I was a bit taken aback.

But soon, a golden message window popped up beside my eyes.

[Welcome, great player <Shia>!]

[Enjoy the special tutorial prepared for you in <Dark Spirit>!]

What is this now?

While I was flustered, the viewers started making jokes, laughing.

– Honestly, the current Dark Spirit boom is thanks to OurEvil.

– They should honestly give you some shares in the company.

– Wow, legends are different indeed lol. First special tutorial reveal?

– Looking forward to it.

– Shia VS Shia round 2

I wondered what was different about the special tutorial.

I was quite excited.

Honestly, last time I had too many psychological burdens to fully enjoy it.

Despite that, it was fun to that extent, so if I could fight in full condition like now…

Srrr.

At that moment.

Just like last time, a sticky shadow cautiously rose around me.

Previously, the Wraith appeared immediately here, right?

Is the design different because it’s a special tutorial?

I lightly gripped the sword and looked forward. The Wraith, which offered players their ‘first death,’ did not appear even after a long wait.

As I began to wonder, the red light from the sword I held soared.

And the light quickly brightened the surroundings, dispelling the darkness.

Soon after.

A familiar voice and a familiar character appeared from within the light.

“Ah, why are you here again, you bastard? You killed me last time, and now you want to kill me again? Sigh, I’m not that easy.”

[<Shia Who Reclaimed His Name> has appeared.]

The game company had specially altered it for me.

I looked at him and smiled. Then, I lightly tapped my shoulder with the sword and said.

“It’s round two, you old relic.”

2.

-Old relic mirror match lol

-What are you talking about? This is the debut of the new streamer Shia today lol

-For real

-Sha? What’s that, you nerd lol

-But the vibe is entirely different from last time.

Clang!

The swords clashed.

A battle I couldn’t have imagined in the VR Star event was unfolding.

At that time, I was completely outmatched in terms of power, so I had to dodge most attacks to fight.

To those who didn’t know the game well, it might have looked like I was evading and won by luck.

But today was different.

Every time <Shia> swung his sword, I met it head-on.

Previously, the difference in strength would have made me stagger, but not this time.

“This bastard, you just dodged last time. I’ve set myself up properly to get my revenge on you today.”

<Shia>’s AI seemed slightly upgraded from last time.

The lines were much more natural. Moreover, there were many lines I had never heard before.

It might be that additional AI updates were made since then.

“You’ve become a damn useless explainer.”

“Shut up. I’ll split your skull in half.”

“Oh.”

Back then, it was certainly thrilling.

However, this mirror match was a game I couldn’t lose from the start.

I calmly parried <Shia>’s attacks and slowly began to speak.

“Starting the guide video now. Everyone, get ready to take notes.”

First content for today was a guide video.

Let’s stay true to the basics.

“What are you talking about, you fake bastard!”

…Who’s calling whom a fake?

“First of all, all of Shia’s attack patterns start from the shoulder. The signature move <Brain Cut> involves the right shoulder lifting slightly upwards for 0.3 seconds. The right shoulder twists subtly, but if you focus, you can see it.”

<Brain Cut> was one of the skill combos I used a lot in the past.

It’s a move I used as a filler between combos, making it a perfect fit.

Brain Cut.

As the name suggests, it’s a lightning-fast horizontal slash.

It’s a technique that’s hard to block even if you know it’s coming.

But if you can catch the shoulder movement, you can overcome it.

Swoosh.

<Shia>’s right shoulder moved slightly, signaling <Brain Cut>.

Clang!

I deflected the fast attack by tilting my sword diagonally.

And in a calm voice, I said.

“If you take the attack head-on, your sword will be pushed back, and you might get killed by your own sword. Instead, tilt it about 38.7 degrees to the right, and you can smoothly deflect the attack.”

I even revealed the precise angle, which was practically my secret technique.

Sigh, I just gave away all my trade secrets.

You wouldn’t find an instructor this kind even in Gangnam’s Daechi-dong.

However, the chat’s reaction was completely different from what I expected.

-???

-??????????

-Professor, I don’t understand what you’re saying.

-Is this really a guide?

-Please refund.

-No lol, you need to explain from a normal person’s perspective. How can you explain from your perspective? Damn lolol

-Summary: Just be really good

“What, you can’t do this?”

I was getting frustrated.

To show a kind demonstration, I deflected <Shia>’s attack once more.

But the chat was filled with endless hooks.

-???

-?????????????

-??????

-lolol how do we do that, you idiot.

-I said, refund?

-Announcement: This lecture is a special one provided only to the top 100 players of Gaia Online. Students…

…Screw it, I quit.

I said, filled with irritation.

“The students’ level is too low, so today’s scheduled lecture is canceled, sigh.”

-Another betrayal.

-Is betrayal the new content?

-Betrayal master.

-Deception + betrayal = OurEvil.

-Tsk tsk, his nature doesn’t change.

The plan slightly derailed, but that’s how broadcasts go.

The content I prepared can’t always succeed.

There’s only one way in such cases.

Move on to the next content.

I sighed deeply and looked at <Shia>.

“Hey.”

<Shia> then uttered a pre-programmed line.

“What are you looking at, you moron.”

He really did react similarly to how I used to.

“…Never mind, it’s my fault for expecting. Come on, let’s wrap this up. I’ll come back better prepared next time.”

“I don’t know what you’ve been mumbling about…”

Vrooom.

A similar feeling to that time.

Tornadoes began to form around <Shia>.

He was going to use ‘that technique’ again.

“I won’t get caught off guard like last time…”

If I let that go, it would definitely become annoying.

Rather than doing the guide myself, it might be better to bring a guest later and give them tips.

Like Na-young or Jin-hyuk.

I quickly thought it over and then looked at <Shia>.

“Hey, see you next time.”

“What?”

“Tutorial ends.”

“Hey, you son of a…”

My comeback broadcast’s first content failed.

Damn it.

If I had known, I would’ve prepared more thoroughly.

When the tutorial ended, I returned to the initial waiting area.

“Next time, I’ll prepare according to your level. Sigh, what’s so hard about this… Moving on to today’s main content.”

The chat began to flood with insults and trolls aimed at me.

Seeing that somehow made me feel more energized.

Ah, I almost gave up something so good.

“Today’s main content is simple. Dark Spirit supports multiplayer, and if you become friends with someone, you can join their game.”

The core of this game is to clear it solo by defeating monsters and reaching the ending.

Of course, it’s a solo play.

You catch monsters alone, level up, and farm equipment.

But through <Multiplayer>, other players can join the game as ‘spirits.’

That’s what I prepared for today’s content.

“You don’t have to defeat me. Even if you can make a scratch as small as a millet grain on me, you win. I have 1 million won prepared.”

As it’s a comeback event, I should bet big.

I actually considered betting 10 million won but thought it might be too much.

Just as I was explaining the second content.

[Friend ‘Streamer Kan’ has been summoned as a ‘spirit’ in your story.]

Huh?

“Phew. I always wanted to stab your neck once, you damn bastard. Taste the sword of justice that punishes traitors!”

…Why is he here?
