CH 8
Chapter 8
For a while only a black screen could be seen; after some subtle noises of a microphone being tapped, a familiar room appeared. A fat man with red dyed hair and a gold necklace walked into the room carrying a big mug.
He greeted everyone with a lecherous voice. “Good day, I’m Sang-Yoon, how’s everyone doing?”
The subscribers’ live chat, which had been lighting up long before the man appeared on screen, began to fire quick greetings, insults, and acknowledgements.
-Urk, keke, a piggy came
-Hyung, did you get fatter?
-What’s with that cup? It’s f*cking huge.
-The cup is as big as Sang-yoon-ie’s 1 head >.< Maybe it holds 2 liters >.<
-Even if that was filled with water, you’d gain weight haha
-lolololololol immediately subscribed just now…what a sight
-Already eating something?
-weee woo~
-Nice to meet you~
-I get angry when I see your face
He was a popular streamer, so the chat became incredibly active. And the channel originally advertised his comedic talk and his gangster-like face rather than a serious show of Berserker’s ability. The level of criticism for the streamer was high, but the atmosphere itself was lively.
Berserker, his nickname, gave the comments no consideration and, blinking his eyes, began to fiddle with the camera. Donor messages began to explode in real time.
The subscriber partnership system was donation based. Whenever people donated, their messages would be heard on air with the emotionless voice of a machine…so it was often funny to see the system read outrageous messages calmly.
-[‘Sangyoon Villain’ donated 1,000 won.]
“Sangyoon-ah *comma* you must have earned so much money *question mark* Your face is getting larger and larger; soon it’ll explode.” 3
-[‘Flower Sangyoon’ donated 1,000 won.]
“Sangyoon Hyung, are you really going to the Tower of Command *question mark* Isn’t there a weight limit *dot dot dot*
-[‘Abby’ donated 1,000 won.]
“Sangyoon-ah 4 *dot dot dot* let’s reach the end of the Tower of Command, live, and get more subscribers *exclamation point*
Berserker, Kim Sangyoon, smirked while reading his donation messages and the live chat log.
-But Sangyoon doesn’t have the talent for ‘Tower of Command,’ right?
-He’s going to get caught in the entrance of the dungeon.
At those messages, he simply answered, “Thank you subscriber-nim,” and ignored its content, holding back unexpectedly. Soon afterwards, 30 minutes past the start of the live broadcast, he greeted the chat again properly.
“Today….all of you should already know…the Tower of Command Dungeon has reopened. I was thinking of speaking on that matter….”
-Sangyoon, are you going as well?
-Sangyoon posted on Instagram, before the broadcast, that he was going to join.
-Sangyoon-ah, there’s a weight limit on that raid…
-Let’s go, Let’s go, Let’s go
-Please do it live, Please TT_TT
“Yes, of course I’m going to go……That’s right, I posted that I was going on Instagram. Oh, but I’m level 70, what a waste! So hardcore route is out of the question…I seems I’ll be raiding the normal route.” Sangyoon said.
-Hey, let’s ask him to join us since he weighs more than 100kg
-lolololololololololol
-What’s the cutline for hardcore route?
“No~ My weight doesn’t exceed 100~. What are you guys even talking about, lol? Ah, what’s the hardcore level restriction? You guys have to be at least level 80! Yeah…so I’ll start by conquering normal mode first.”
Kim Sangyoon then brought up the app on the screen so that everyone could see it.
It was the list of normal route rewards that I saw earlier. Kim Sangyoon then began to read through it all, one by one, while adding explanations and personal comments.
“This Dungeon is….how should I put it? A Dungeon that produces darkness and curse attribute items? That’s what I feel. The dungeon will be profitable for classes with darkness properties. Like Treasure Hunter, Assassins, and…..what else?”
-Witch?
“Right, Witch…..What else?”
-Necromancer lolol
-Kek (lololololololol)
“Oh, uh. Hahaha…..Necromancer…that’s right. If Necromancers still even exist. Anyway! There seems to be a lot to obtain in this dungeon. So, will this be useless to other classes? That’s not the case at all. There’s bound to be good basic rewards in such a solid dungeon. The payout will be amazing if you manage to clear it.”
-So there’s nothing for those whose system is based on blessings??
-P R I E S T
“Hm, at first glance it seems like there’s not much benefit for those of the opposing attribute….but, instead, Priests and other light-based classes..Like animists? have higher attack power in this dungeon. Opposing attributes are compensated with higher damage capabilities to clear the dungeon.”
-As expected, this time around Priest is still 1st tier.
-Once again Priests are a necessary evil?
-Ah~ just when are these heal bots gonna get nerfed~~~~
-Sangyoon hyung, what’s the best item from this list?
-Hyung! Which do you prefer, normal route 1 or 2?
“The best item here?? Hm…..What I’m aiming for is the item on the third line here, . The weapon’s attack is crazy, but it also has an added ‘bleeding’ effect special skill! I’ve read that wounds created by this weapon won’t heal, resulting in damage over time. That’s why I think this weapon will be the most expensive out of all the weapons that can be sold. As for what route I’m going? Undecided.”
After watching this far, silently, I sent a live chat message to Kim Sangyoon.
-Sangyoon-nim, when you go, will you please carry me? T_T I really desperately need one ingredient, and I’m willing to take just that T_T 5
Perhaps he didn’t see my message, or perhaps he chose to ignore it, Kim Sangyoon continued his explanation of the raid without answering my query. I had no choice but to sponsor him and re-send the message I wrote.
Donation messages are not buried by the live comments and, instead, pop up on the left side of the stream–separate and easy for the streamer to see. The message boasts colorful effects and a large size which lingers for several seconds. In addition, it was almost impossible to ignore the machine-like voice message that accompanied it.
-[‘Choi Lee-Kyung’ donated 1,000 won!]
“Sangyoon-nim, when you go, will you please carry me? *crying face* I really desperately need one ingredient, and I’m willing to take just that *crying face*”
The machine’s un-emotive voice echoed, and Sangyoon gave a small, “Thanks Choi Lee-kyung nim.” He frowned, as if he was considering something for a moment.
In the past, he had advertised that he’d carry paying subscribers with him on various raids. Perhaps this time, too, he would be overtaken with that desire.
“Carry? Hmm….But it’s my first time to this dungeon…It might take a long time.”
Oh? He didn’t immediately refuse?
I didn’t think I’d ever get a chance again if I lost this opportunity, so I hurriedly sent another donation.
-[‘Choi Lee-kyung’ donated 1,000 won!]
“Sangyoon-nim, I really only need to defeat one slime in that dungeon. For a master like you, this shouldn’t be difficult at all *crying face crying face*
“Ha, but….I haven’t really discussed this with my party members yet….”
However I felt hope from seeing Sangyoon’s troubled face, hands scratching the back of his head.
When I thought he would begin to refuse, “Hmmmm, maybe this time….” an idea quickly flashed through my mind. I quickly sent another donation.
-[‘Choi Lee-Kyung’ donated 1,000 won!]
“Sangyoon-him, I’m a Necromancer! Please, help me just once *crying face*
After seeing my last donation, his eyes grew comically round. The live chat, which had been barely active, began to increase its speed tremendously.
As expected, the audience’s reaction was explosive.
-Lololololol
-Godcromancer pffft
-Really??
-Omg! Sangyoon! Take ‘Lee-kyung’ with you!
-lololololol ah sh*t 6
-Lol, I’m crying
– “That class”
-Lololololol, he’s a king-cromancer kek
-Waaa It’s the first time I’m seeing someone with that class.
-Absolutely nuts kekeke
-I bet he’s desperate
-Doesn’t he regret it??
Kim Sangyoon began to burst into laughter. “Wow….Hahahahaha! Really? Necromancer?”
My face flushed red, but no one could see me anyway….I steeled myself and answered [-Yes] in the chat.
Somehow Kim Sangyoon found my response in the midst of the deluge of chat messages. “Wow, he says it’s for real….Wow….Why’d you choose that class? How damn hilarious….” He was speechless, with half mocking and half meaningless admiration.
And then.
“Lee-kyung-nim, what level are you?” he asked.
Heart pounding fast in my chest, I quickly responded.
-I’m…level 42;
At my response, Kim Sangyoon stopped laughing and looked like he was at a loss. “Ah…..But, those in the normal route should be over level 50….”
-Of course you have to carry him Sangyoon-ah;;
-Let’s see how good you really are
-If it were me, I’d raise him up
-You laughed so much, you aren’t going to do it?
-But why on earth did he choose to be a Necromancer???
-If he’s for real, his intelligence is suss
-It’s gotta be a lie, lolol
-You can’t carry Necromancers?
-Go on! Take him!
– Let’s go Let’s go Let’s go!
“No, guys….It’s not that I don’t want to take him….I, too, want to bring him with me, but the regulations…”
Finally the words I’ve been waiting for tumbled from his mouth. Nice!
I quickly copied the recruitment qualifications and made another donation wish to Kim Sangyoon.
-But Sangyoon-nim, in normal mode the individual is not limited by level. The average level of the party must be over 50! TT_TT I’m level 42…can’t we make this work somehow?
Kim Sangyoon immediately closed his mouth. The chat became inundated with demands to “be cool” and to “carry him!”
In reality, Sangyoon wasn’t a good-natured person.
He talks like a bully; those who accompanied Sangyoon on raids often criticized him for being arrogant. He gave no care nor interest to those who wouldn’t benefit him…
However, he is a streamer, and streamers must always be wary of their viewers. In particular, Kim Sangyoon became famous for viral videos where he was at his subscriber’s beck and call. This time, though, the request involved a very difficult Dungeon–Sangyoon’s safety was at stake. I looked at his pursed lips and prayed, “Please!”
“Aigoo 7….All right. Lee-kyung-nim, shall we meet tomorrow?” Kim Sangyoon smirked, as if my desperate cries reached his ears.
He actually agreed.
For a while only a black screen could be seen; after some subtle noises of a microphone being tapped, a familiar room appeared. A fat man with red dyed hair and a gold necklace walked into the room carrying a big mug.
