└ For real, lol
└ I just watch it like a movie

[ALL KILL!]
[You have won.]
[MVP: Gawol]
[Black 45 RP → 68 RP]
Is this kind of thing a part of one’s nature?
When I started streaming, I was so nervous, wondering if I’d make silly mistakes or not perform well.
But rather, it felt energizing these days.
Vitality buzzed through my veins, and the sensation in my weapon-gripping hand was keen.
It didn’t take long to realize my worries were unfounded.
What was I so afraid of?
This is the moment I dreamed of.
People flooding into my stream, chattering excitedly, giving me their full attention.
Just watching, I couldn’t help but ughuh, smile with joy.
How could I not love them?
– So, what happens if you can’t keep your pledge?
– This jerk isn’t answering
– Are you laughing? Haha? Haha? Haha? Haha? Haha? Haha? Haha? Haha?
– 
– Are you suggesting we try it once?
It might seem a bit rough around the edges, but well.
I think it’s okay like this, right?
When overflowing with affection, one can get a bit rough.
Still, it’s not my style to tease others too much.
Thought it’d be better to show a bit before the game starts.
[Do you want to start Rank Game matching? Y/N]
[Starting random matching.]
[Searching for opponents… Estimated time: 03:45]
“Are you curious about what I prepared for a penalty?”
Has the number of viewers increased a lot since earlier?
The chat was swirling so fast it was hard to read a single sentence without focus.
Some comments needed to be managed a bit.
I had no plans to shake my butt in front of the camera.
No intention of doing any lewd dances either.
I didn’t even know what ‘acting like a female’ meant.
Sulbbang and Elderin said to pick a few trustworthy people to be managers.
The conditions for a streaming manager were trickier than I expected.
A manager needs to understand the streamer well, as well as the internet streaming world.
To effectively manage, they should know the viewers’ culture.
Also, if the manager causes any issues, it affects the streamer.
Choosing someone carefully is a must, and they need to spend a lot of time watching streams.
Specifically, they should be someone who will be around my stream often.
No matter how capable someone is, if they’re not there when needed, it’s pointless.
Even if I look for such a person, they’re not going to magically appear… Oh wait?
Thinking it over, I seem to recall someone.
「San-sae donated 50,000 won」
「Reveal it! Reveal it! Reveal it! Reveal it! Reveal it!」
「San-sae donated 50,000 won」
「Please equip the bunny ears item!」
「San-sae donated 50,000 won」
「Just one cute cheek puff!」
One name in the donation list was really familiar.
San-sae was like a ghost of internet broadcasting.
I thought they probably knew better than me how to manage a chat.
Having met face to face a few times, I certainly could trust Kim Shin-ah.
[San-sae’s Chat History]
– We have to protect our Wari!
– What’s this hugging thing? What’s this hugging thing? What’s this hugging thing? What’s this hugging thing?
– Squishy squishy!
……
– I said I’d win!
– Reveal the penalty! Reveal the penalty! Reveal the penalty!
–
……
–
– Holding my breath until the penalty is revealed
Hmm, is it not?
The history I opened outstripped my imagination.
I didn’t know, but San-sae had this style online.
But they must already know what’s on the penalty roulette.
Since we made it together.
……They seemed to look like they were having fun, so I didn’t feel like adding anything.
Anyway, I decided to hand the manager role over to San-sae as initially thought.
It was physically impossible for me to manage these many people during the game.
Despite anything, there was no one I could trust more than San-sae.
“I made a penalty roulette before starting the stream. If I fail the pledge, I’ll spin it.”
– Do you spin it even if you just lose?
– San-sae: The roulette is really pretty—who made it?
– What’s up with the school uniform?
– You can’t eat spicy food!
– What does ‘do what you ask’ mean?
– San-sae: Hehe…
Uh, sis. It’s nice that you’re treating me well.
I’m really grateful, but honestly, it feels a bit overboard.
……Of course, I couldn’t say that.
Even while chatting giddily, their skills at cleaning up the chat were evident.
There seemed to be some line that they drew as any overly harsh comments were swiftly cut out.
This level of skill wasn’t something from their first rodeo.
I still had to find a few more for the scale of the stream, but this dealt with the most urgent fire.
I could take my time in finding more manager candidates.
[Matching complete.]
[Do you accept the match? Y/N]
[……You will be transferred to the battlefield in 20 seconds.]
“Oh, the queue’s up. Let’s finish the game first, shall we? The penalty only applies if I fail the pledge. I’m not spinning it just for losing.”
Sometimes, it’s necessary to have a bait that may never come.
Sorry to my kind and lovely viewers, but that roulette spinning will never happen.
I’ll only set pledges when I think I can handle them.
From the start, I wrote down plenty of penalties I never planned to do for real.
I wouldn’t wear strange clothes when I didn’t even want to wear a skirt.
I can’t bear to see that no matter what.

[Rank Match – Black 68 RP]
[Battlefield: Bamboo Forest]
[Rules: Duel]
[vs KONGCHU (Gunslinger)]
As soon as I checked the battlefield and rules, I couldn’t help but snicker.
I felt a bit guilty too, to be honest.
A duel is just another name for “1-man obliteration match.”
While it doesn’t come up often, it occasionally pops up once in a while.
It’s the reason that support users, like priests, occasionally whip up builds for one-on-one, or practice with combat-worthy subclasses.
The rules weren’t too different from what I experienced in the Arena.
So… there was no one in this segment who could possibly beat me in a duel.
Wait, is there even a player here who could actually make a game happen?
“Hmm, I feel a bit guilty making a pledge this round. It’s too easy. Shall we just finish quickly and jump to the next queue?”
– But the opponent is a streamer too
– Aren’t they the one who can’t play?
– ???: I won’t play against a noob
– Still, you should make a pledge!
– Not taking a single hit
“Well then, let’s not take a single hit this round. I’ll make a pledge after the match with 100% remaining health.”
No one really uses Gunslinger as a main in the Arena.
While the character itself doesn’t have an absolute performance flaw, the Gunslinger lacks standout advantages in a one-on-one environment.
If a player’s skill is sufficient, it would be better to pull out a subclass in a duel.
The enemy probably knows this fact… but nonetheless, they appeared on the battlefield as a Gunslinger.
It meant they couldn’t switch due to the large gap in skill between their main and sub-classes.
The opponent was likely a one-trick pony. Most likely a “master.”
So, while I was confident, I wouldn’t let my guard down.
In this segment, thinking, “How good could a master actually be?” might result in a perfect strike hitting me.
Winning was a given, but performing perfectly wasn’t.
[You are under the effect of Whisper of the Black Moon.]
[All attack power, movement speed, and counterattack decision receive beneficial effects.]
[Some skills are enhanced and…]
Let’s finish this quickly.
Mistakes happen when time stretches out.
Concentration is a finite resource that will inevitably run out at some point.
I charged in aggressively from the start.
The Gunslinger’s projectiles are mostly wide but slow.
Many of them have to hit to explode, making them vulnerable to parrying.
Dodging just one or two with my dagger isn’t too difficult.
The survival skill, Surging Steps, allows us to move using shadows.
Just as I was about to swing my dagger down big—an odd sound reached my ear.
「Now is an amateur! donated 5,000 won」
「(Attached video: Gawol showing armpits)」
– Really, you like this kind of stuff? Something’s off. You all are just, pretty depraved.
“Uh, uh-oh?”
For a moment, my brain stalled.
