Chapter 15

“I was matched with JiHan!” Streamer Golden Light pointed at JiHan.

‘Jackpot!’

The number of subscribers to his channel had been stagnant, but who knew he’d get such a great opportunity while in the Colosseum?

– Huh? It really is JiHan.

– What’s up with his equipment?

– Mr. Golden Light, kill that JiHan bastard right now!

– The Sword King Fan Club guys are at it again.

– You guys are pathetic. Why do you still care for someone who abandoned his country for a woman?

Ten times more people were commenting on his chat.

‘Good.’

Shouldn’t he take the chances that came to him? Golden Light waved his hands at JiHan. “Mr. Sung! This is Streamer Golden Light! Can you do an interview?”

JiHan turned his head when he heard someone calling him and saw a man wearing golden armor trying to catch his attention.

‘A streamer. It seems he isn’t just streaming but also interacting with the viewers.’

Battle Tube streaming was quite common among players

People weren’t that interested in low-rank players, but many players in Silver or above tried their best to get GP by obtaining popularity.

‘Even those people mostly have their chat windows turned off.’

Victory was decided in an instant in Battle Net. If you tried to interact with viewers, you could end up screwing up in the game.

‘He might turn off the chat window later since the game hasn’t started yet…’

Based on his actions, it seemed like he would keep talking even after the game started.

‘I should also turn on my stream.’

Although he wasn’t thinking of interacting with the viewers, he would try to get as many views as possible while people were focused on him.

‘Sae-ah also has to see me playing.’

JiHan turned Battle Tube’s streaming function on.

“Woah~ That person’s ignoring me, right?” Golden Light said to his viewers, and the chat window heated up.

– He isn’t even looking?

– Haa~ He’s ruthless.

– Mr. Golden Light, I’m going to give you a quest!

[Sword King luv52 has sent a viewer quest.]

[Kill player ‘JiHan’ and make him finish last.]

[Reward: 200 GP]

200 GP…

The price of 1 GP was officially linked to a dollar, so 200 GP was 200 USD.

– Dear Sword King Fan Club member, we must kill that arrogant bastard!

– Everyone, let’s join forces!

[Sword King luv52 has sent a viewer quest.]

[Kill player ‘JiHan’ and make him finish last.]

[Reward: 200 GP]

As someone from the Sword King Fan Club started encouraging it, others quickly started contributing.

The reward for killing JiHan reached 10,000 GP in just a few minutes.

Ten thousand GP…

The viewers were surprised.

– Goosebumps;

– The Sword King’s fans are something.

– There are many heads of large companies among the Sword King’s fans.

– Woah… It just passed 20,000 GP.

The rewards increased again in an instant.

Streamer Golden Light made a bright smile. ‘Great!’ He knew there were many people who hated JiHan after he broke the Dual Sword Statue.

‘To think they’d hate him enough to pour this much GP at me.’

The only consequence JiHan would have was his level being decreased, but the Sword King Fan Club’s hatred was intense enough to raise money to achieve it.

‘Though money isn’t an issue for me…’

Rather than the money, obtaining that much GP in a single quest was a new record for his channel.

Streamer Golden Light stroked his chin. “Oh my, to think you’d send such a quest to me! I’m a bit scared~ Didn’t JiHan break the Dual Sword Statue with Ki? I wonder if I’ll…”

– Look how much someone wearing A-rank equipment is crying, lol.

– Golden Light is already revving up his engine.

– Is 30,000 GP not enough?!

– Sword King fans! This is the channel!

– You just have to press the viewer quest button!

It seemed like the middle-aged fans of the Sword King were starting to flood in.

[Reward: 30,000 GP]

[Reward: 40,000 GP]

The speed at which the GP was being stacked was no joke.

[Player summoning has ended.]

[The game is starting.]

‘Ah, to think it would start already!’

It was regrettable that the system’s game start announcement had come so soon.

‘If the quest weren’t to ensure JiHan finished last, I would’ve toyed around with him before killing him.’

He had to have JiHan be the first one to die to make him finish last. If that wasn’t the case, he would’ve kept receiving sponsorship from the Sword King’s fans.

‘It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’

Golden Light raised his voice and spoke like the streamer he was. “Well, then… Despite being a bit afraid, I, Golden Light, will carry out the quest thanks to everyone’s cheers!”

– Kill him, kill him, kill him!!!

– He has to finish last. Okay?

“I understand!” Golden Light took out his golden sword to carry out the quest. “Charge!”

He used his ‘Charge’ skill to rush forward and accelerate toward JiHan in the blink of an eye.

“JiHan! I… Streamer Golden Light, am the reaper that will take your game’s life!”

The tip of his golden sword stretched toward JiHan’s back.

– How boring. It’s going to end too soon.

– It’s a last-place quest, so we can’t help it.

– But does Golden Light really have to say that phrase with every kill?

– It’s his trademark. He keeps doing it, no matter how much everyone curses him for it.

– Every time I hear that, I want to leave.

– For real.

Streamer Golden Light’s viewers were clicking their tongues when…

Swoosh.

JiHan vanished, and Golden Light’s sword stabbed the air.

“Huh…?”

– What?

– Where is he?

“You’re too noisy for it to be an ambush.”

Streamer Golden Light heard a cold voice, and as he turned around, JiHan was above his head.

Swoosh!

The iron cudgel slashed through the air at a terrifying speed, and Streamer Golden Light felt a chill down his spine.

Clang!

‘What strength…!’

He’d managed to block the attack with his golden sword, but if it wasn’t an A-rank item, it might have gotten crushed.

“Good sword.” JiHan looked at the sparkling golden sword for a moment and then kept attacking, holding an iron cudgel in one hand and a huge kitchen knife in the other.

Although it was an unbalanced combination of weapons, his combo attacks were overwhelming.

“Tsk!” Streamer Golden Light had been Gold until not long before and tried to use his rich combat experience to block JiHan’s attacks, but the two weapons JiHan held moved freely as if they were alive, putting strong pressure on Streamer Golden Light.

‘What a combo…!’

Clang! Clang!

JiHan’s weapons hit his golden armor, which saved him due to its A-rank status. If the armor had been ranked B, it would’ve already been over.

Streamer Golden Light felt chills as he realized something from their brief clash…

JiHan wasn’t simply a Bronze.

‘My stats should be higher!’

The golden armor set he wore had excellent defense and boosted his Strength and Agility, and Streamer Golden Light had swept away every opponent in Bronze thanks to his equipment…

But nothing worked against JiHan.

“Ugh… I’ll take things seriously from now on!”

– Ah, that’s a defeat flag.

– ??? Why’s JiHan fighting so well?

– The A-rank armor is caving in. Is he really a Bronze? This doesn’t make sense!

– Nope, it doesn’t.

– How come a former Gold player is losing to a Bronze?

The chat window was starting to hinder Streamer Golden Light’s view.

He’d always been able to fight while reading the chat, but against a strong opponent like JiHan, he didn’t have such a luxury.

“I… I’ll turn off the chat!”

– Has Golden Light ever turned off the chat?

– Woah~ It’s been a while since he took things seriously.

‘Now I’ll take you on with all my might, JiHan!’

Although Streamer Golden Light’s fighting spirit grew stronger…

A kitchen knife glowing with white light arced down in front of him.

‘This white light… Is it Divine Power?!’

Golden Light raised his sword, but at that moment…

JiHan’s iron cudgel flew in out of nowhere and struck the sword.

“Huh…?”

“You talk too much while fighting.”

“N-no…”

Those were Golden Light’s last words.

Streamer Golden Light was split in half, and his body gradually turned into a bright white light as a message appeared to all players within the Colosseum map.

[Player JiHan has achieved the 1st kill.]

No matter how strong JiHan was, nobody expected someone who used to be in the Gold League to be beaten like that…

‘No way. How did he kill someone who dropped from Gold so easily?’

‘Let’s avoid him. He isn’t someone I can beat.’

The players watching from a distance decided not to target JiHan.

Even a player with A-rank equipment couldn’t endure more than a few attacks and was eliminated, so they didn’t dare challenge him.

On the other hand…

[You’ve achieved the 1st kill on the Colosseum map.]

[You’ve earned 100 achievement points.]

‘So the ‘1st Kill’ achievement gives you 100 points.’

The number wasn’t low compared to the effort he put in, but after gaining a large number of achievement points so recently, it felt like a ridiculously small amount.

‘Let’s set the goal of this survival game to achieving 10 kills.’

JiHan was sure there was an achievement related to the number of kills.

Since there was no reward when he achieved six kills, maybe doing 10 would give him extra achievement points.

‘Leaving that aside…’

JiHan stared at where Streamer Golden Light had died.

If he wanted to reach 10 kills, he would have to move fast and look for prey, but he stood still as if he were waiting for something, and then…

Flash.

A white light began shining from where Streamer Golden Light had disappeared.

“Fufu. Viewers, now you know that you mustn’t let your guard down, right? JiHan! This time, I’ll definitely…” Streamer Golden Light, who’d been killed with his head split in half, reappeared while making a leisurely smile.

It seemed like Golden Light was talking with his viewers, reinforcing his resolve with his characteristic speech.

JiHan chuckled from behind him. “You’re right. You mustn’t let your guard down.”

“Huh…? Wh-why are you still here?” Streamer Golden Light’s expression turned sour.

Why had JiHan not left?

“As expected, you used the Cross of Resurrection.”

“How did you know I would use it…?” Streamer Golden Light’s eyes widened.

The Cross of Resurrection was an item that allowed you to overcome death and rejoin a game, but it wasn’t used that much due to the penalty it required. People preferred to play a new game instead of using it.

Streamer Golden Light had decided to use it so he wouldn’t lose JiHan.

“All streamers are like you.”

The iron cudgel that had been waiting in advance struck Streamer Golden Light’s head.

Crash!

“Thanks for the two kills.”
