The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

I was currently facing the worst opponent ever.

Literally.

The worst.

The opponent with the worst skills.

“Daaamn it! Hey, can’t you just let me hit you once?”

“If I get hit, I’ll have to pay you, you know.”

“Is money really that important between us? Come on, let me stab your neck just once.”

-LOL Chuya, it’s Kan.

-Been dodging for 5 minutes now.

-For real LOL

-Justice is dead.

Dong-su hyung had barged in with impressive momentum. It seemed like he would slice my neck right off with that energy, but unfortunately, his spirit and skills didn’t match.

Claaaang.

Moreover, the specs of my weapon were so outstanding that every clash between my sword and Dong-su hyung’s resulted in a thunderous sound.

While my body remained perfectly fine.

“Using a superior weapon is honestly too cowardly, isn’t it?”

“Hyung, how far did you get in the Shia challenge?”

“I couldn’t even defeat the wraith. Why?”

“…Back in the Gaia days, wouldn’t you have at least taken down a wraith?”

Despite his current clumsiness, Dong-su hyung used to be a skilled streamer back in the day.

At least in <Gaia Online>, he was one of the top-ranked players.

He was skilled enough to be ranked 13th worldwide in the <Arena>, a system where one-on-one battles were the norm.

Once, he was that impressive.

“Hyoooop!”

“Hyung, why can’t you stab straight?”

“Because you keep moving! Stay still for a second!”

But now, he had become a streamer practically no different from a comedic character.

I sighed deeply as I watched Dong-su hyung’s sword stretch towards me in a stagger.

I then looked at him and suggested gently.

“Shall I give you a handicap, hyung?”

Dong-su hyung replied as if it were a matter of course.

“Isn’t that obvious? Show some respect for your elders, you brat.”

I appreciated that he participated in my content to help my stream.

Of course, if we fought fairly based on skill, Dong-su hyung wouldn’t be able to beat me even if we went on for a day.

Clatter.

As soon as he responded, I threw my sword to the ground and smiled.

Dong-su hyung’s eyes widened at the sight.

“What’s this, are you surrendering?”

…Surrender? Not quite.

“I’ll fight barehanded, hyung. This should be a fair enough handicap, right?”

With the most provocative expression I could muster, I wiggled my fingers at him.

-LOL

-RIP justice, rest in peace here.

-Korean Joker incoming in 5 minutes LOL

-This guy really has a talent for driving people mad.

-The ultimate traitor.

-Go Kan!

Clearly provoked, the chat began cheering exclusively for Dong-su hyung.

Was he watching my stream on the side?

Dong-su hyung nodded resolutely, his eyes sparkling.

He looked like a righteous knight straight out of a fantasy novel…

“Damn you!”

…Well, except for his mouth.

Cursing vividly, Dong-su hyung swung his sword at me again, pressing the attack.

Without my sword, it was impossible to counter.

However, just as he knew my attack patterns, I knew his.

Every gamer has habits, and those habits become harder to break with age.

From what I remembered, Dong-su hyung always used a longsword in these types of games.

It was the weapon he was familiar with during the <Gaia Online> days and the weapon he was most confident with among military weapons.

Vroooom.

Dong-su hyung thrust his sword towards my chest.

I leaned back slightly and opened my mouth cheerfully.

“Hyung, I’ve already figured out your pattern. Stab the chest, then stab the neck, then the thigh, and finally the abdomen, right?”

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

“Look, hyung.”

Vroooom.

As if on cue, Dong-su hyung’s attacks continued exactly as I described, and I dodged them all.

Then, I kicked Dong-su hyung’s wide-open chest and said.

“Come on, your mouth says no, but your body’s so honest, isn’t it?”

“You crazy bastard.”

Thud!

My kick landed squarely on Dong-su hyung’s solar plexus.

His body, barely maintaining its balance, fell pathetically easily.

-OMG.

-Riding the Kan-Shia coin?

-Falling in love with the enemy.

-Stockholm syndrome LOL.

-But they do seem to genuinely get along, right?

‘Evil Gang Member 12’ has donated 10,000 won!

[We… can support you even like this… May your love be eternal…]

Are they crazy?

The way they jumped on that joke was impressive.

Evil Gang really lived up to their name, huh?

I glanced at the chat and then immediately took my next action.

It wasn’t difficult to land a follow-up hit on the fallen Dong-su hyung.

Every time he tried to get up, I pushed him down with my foot, accumulating small damages that weren’t big but added up.

About five minutes passed like that.

Finally, Dong-su hyung’s body became faint.

[Spirit ‘Streamer Kan’ has run out of health.]

An achievement accomplished with bare fists.

I shrugged as I watched Dong-su hyung slowly fade away.

“Until next time.”

Dong-su hyung, stabbing his sword into the ground in frustration, shouted with deep regret.

“If I were just three years younger…”

Hearing that, I waved my hand at him and replied.

“Would you have won then? If it were three years ago… Haha.”

“Stay home. I’m coming to find you.”

With Dong-su hyung’s bitter declaration of a real-life showdown, the first match of today’s event ended.

Personally, I thought he did an excellent job as a warm-up act.

Of course, it seemed like he put a lot of sincerity into it, but I received his message loud and clear.

And the response was excellent.

Alright, it’s time to start the main event.

After lightly dusting off my hands, I looked straight ahead and spoke.

“Once again, if you hit me even once, you win.”

Now that the warm-up was over, it was time to greet the guests.

It was a perfect day for a comeback.

4.

For the next four hours after Dong-su hyung, the viewer participation content continued.

In those four hours, 200 viewers participated.

That meant one person was eliminated almost every minute.

Did anyone win?

Of course, there wasn’t anyone.

I didn’t want to waste my precious money on such content.

Thanks to Dong-su hyung, I had drawn enough attention, so I could consider the content successful.

Although I was quite tired.

I had been focused on the game for four hours straight.

After easily eliminating the last participant, I let out a big sigh and said,

“That’s it for today’s viewer participation. Guys, did you know? I didn’t actually prepare any prize money.”

Deception was optional.

As I brazenly continued my deception, the chat heated up.

Of course, with curses.

-For real, what a bad guy.

-They say you can’t change people LOL.

-Money grubber, for real?

-He’s too perfect, skilled and a deceiver.

-Is this really a new streamer? He’s disgustingly good at this.

The comeback stream was very successful.

When I checked the number of viewers, it was a whopping 40,000.

It was similar to the number before I took a break from streaming.

Although the quality of the chat had significantly dropped, I was willing to accept that.

Moreover, the donations piled up today alone exceeded 10 million won.

I couldn’t expect this level of support every time, but this alone was enough to set my mind at ease.

At least for the time being, I didn’t need to look for another job.

I felt at ease.

And comfortable.

Just as I was nodding in satisfaction and looking at the chat, a significant donation came in with a dazzling sound effect.

‘Cerberus’ has donated 100,000 won!

[Wanna have a match with me? If I lose, I’ll donate 1 million won for real.]

Donating 100,000 won and issuing a challenge.

Was it confidence or personal fandom?

I checked the time.

8 PM.

Since today was my comeback stream, I had planned to end around 9 PM.

According to the plan, now was the perfect time to stop playing games and switch to chatting with the viewers.

-Seriously, wouldn’t it be rude to back out when he donated 100,000 won?

-Give it a go.

-He must really want to play with our villain if he’s willing to do thisㅠㅠ

-What, does he play games with you if you donate? That’s generous.

-For real LOL

The public sentiment wasn’t bad.

I decided it would be okay just this once.

Nodding slowly, I responded to the donation.

“I’ll play with you, just this once.”

The viewers who played with me today were first-come, first-served.

So, taking money to play a game felt a bit burdensome.

However, the public sentiment wasn’t bad, so one match should be fine.

There was still time, and the match wouldn’t take long anyway.

By the way, Cerberus…

It felt familiar somehow.

…Well, it’s not like only one person in the world uses the nickname Cerberus.

Moreover, ‘Cerberus’ was quite a popular nickname, one of those so-called ‘rare nicks.’

[‘Cerberus’ has requested to add you to their friend list. Do you accept?]

When I accepted the friend request, ‘Cerberus’ immediately joined my game.

Their outfit wasn’t the default, indicating they had practiced <Dark Spirit> a few times.

Unlike most viewers who joined in beginner outfits, they seemed quite prepared.

“Hello?”

“If I win, will you give me 1 million won?”

“…Technically, it’s a prize worth around 1 million won.”

“Whatever, as long as you give me 1 million won if I win?”

What the heck.

Is this guy basically asking me to bet money?

‘Cerberus’ was wearing a black mask and holding a purple spear, looking quite familiar.

Why did it seem familiar?

‘Cerberus’ slowly swung the spear while glaring at me.

His eyes peeking out from the mask gleamed fiercely.

One thing was certain, he wasn’t an ordinary guy.

Just looking at his stance with the spear told me that.

I let out a light breath and glared back at him.

“What, should I also drop my sword to fight you?”

“If you can.”

His distinctive high-pitched voice easily etched itself into my memory.

Wait a minute.

I had heard this voice before…

Swoosh.

‘Cerberus’ spear wriggled like a snake as he closed the distance to me in an instant.

It wasn’t a straightforward thrust.

A continuous attack starting from the thigh, climbing smoothly upwards, making it hard to react.

There were no gaps.

It was a high-level attack, leaving no room for the opponent to defend.

I quickly abandoned the idea of fighting barehanded.

This guy had come prepared from the start.

I didn’t know his intentions, but it meant he wasn’t here with simple fan loyalty like other viewers.

Clang!

I struck his spear shaft hard with my sword to break his attack flow.

However, using the force from my parry, ‘Cerberus’ spun his body and aimed a dangerous thrust at me.

Ah.

Now I knew who this guy was.

“You’ve grown a lot, haven’t you?”

Back in the <Gaia Online> days.

I had many good people around me, like Dong-su hyung, Sae-rin nuna, and Yoo-seon nuna.

But on the contrary, there were countless players I didn’t get along with.

In fact, I think there were more who disliked me than liked me.

Some of them were world-class rankers.

I licked my lips slightly and stared at ‘Cerberus.’

Then ‘Cerberus’ threw off his mask and smiled slyly.

Then, with his distinctive high-pitched voice, he sharply shot back at me.

“Remember me, you bastard?”
