I Regressed but the World Didn’t Fall Apart

Streaming of the Transcendent Hunter -26-

026.

-Hi hi

-Doha!

-Oh game what? Oh game what?

-Not playing Diablo?

-Kya

-Lee Dohyuk! Lee Dohyuk!

-Doha

-DH

-Hi

“Um.. Hello. Yes, nice to meet you too. I’ll let you know what game we’ll play today in a bit. Diablo? That’s a bit···”

Lee Dohyuk responded to the questions popping up in the chat window.

With a thousand viewers joining the broadcast at the start, the chat window was moving at an incredible speed.

Jian said to just answer the questions that are visible with this fast pace.

Since he could see them all, he was answering each one.

-“God Dohyuk, avoiding Diabloㅋㅋㅋ”

-Is this a beginner’s broadcast? Reads the chat really well

-For real, seeing them all

-Expected reply: Just read it because it was there?

“Oh? You know well. I just read it because it was there.”

-;;;

-Notㅋㅋㅋ

-Really can’t think of a response because it seems like that

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋAlready funny

Although it was his first broadcast, Lee Dohyuk had indirectly broadcasted twice through Jian’s broadcasts.

Thanks to that, he had quite a good interaction with the viewers.

‘First things first, start with communication.’

Advice from the broadcasting senior Jian and Black Oak.

Until now, Lee Dohyuk and Jian deliberately avoided questions other than about games.

The reason was Jian’s intention to use the aggro related to those questions on her own broadcast, not Lee Dohyuk’s.

But now, it was Lee Dohyuk’s broadcast, so he wouldn’t impose such restrictions.

“Oh, do you have any questions for me? If not, should I casually start with some hand exercises?”

-Yes

-Who are you?

-What’s your identity?

-Were you originally doing something else?

The chat window quickly filled with his remarks.

Numerous questions poured in.

Among them, the most prevalent was, of course, about his identity.

Why someone who seemed to have been doing something else until now was so good at games, no, at battles.

It was a question that Yi Dohyuk had anticipated.

Therefore, he had prepared his response in advance.

“I find it difficult to talk about the past… I won’t disclose that. Let’s end the discussion here and move on.”

Revealing nothing.

‘What was it… in a world that seemed to be falling apart, I trained alone to save it. Before that, I was a hunter, and even went through a regression.’

There were many reasons, but the biggest one was that he couldn’t simply reveal the truth.

He would hear comments like, “What kind of broadcasting concept is this?”

Rather than that, Yi Dohyuk decided to go with a mysterious concept of concealing his past.

-Oh

-Wow

-For real, he’s from an information agency special operations unit

-Yeah, right

-Moving on~

Despite the misunderstandings accumulating due to Yi Dohyuk’s attitude, it didn’t seem like a major issue.

In fact, such misunderstandings could even be beneficial for his broadcast.

“Broadcast? Yes. I plan to seriously venture into broadcasting for at least a few months. Of course, if the results are disappointing, I will have to give it up.”

Yi Dohyuk answered a different question to redirect the conversation.

-That won’t happen, lol

-In my view, it takes a few months even for major corporations

-A few months are short

-It’s probably longer

And the Q&A session continued.

“Oh, Ji-an? She’s currently managing the chat.”

-(Ji-an) Hello~

-Oh

-Nice

-Jin Eun-geom, wow

-From leading the cheering squad to becoming a manager?!

-So, is this the younger sister? Is that it?

-(Ji-an) If you cross the line, you’ll get banned!

Yi Dohyuk replied to the questions coming in while executing his plan.

“In the future, the main content will undoubtedly be game broadcasting. As for which game to play…”

‘Blayton said it’s not good as a main, but… just in case.’

“I actually had something to ask you all.”

Ping-

Saying that, Ido-hyuk executed his stand and appeared on the broadcast screen.

Two games appeared in the library.

＜It Kills Two＞ and ＜Ultimate Fighter FD＞.

Naturally, it was Ultimate Fighter that caught the viewers’ attention.

-?

-Oh

-Ulti-Fighter sneak attack ㄷㄷ

-What’s that game?

-(Jian) Oh, when did he buy this one? ㅋㅋㅋ

The chat window sped up instantly as they looked at Ido-hyuk’s library.

It was all because of the status that Ultimate Fighter currently held.

Ding-

[‘IsaacToast’ has donated 1,000 won.]

-Oh.. Are you really going to play Ultimate Fighter?

Even donation messages asking such questions.

“Well.. It was on sale the day before yesterday, so I bought it to try it out. It’s fun. I’ve played it a few times during my console gaming days, so it brings back memories. What do you all think?”

-Oh..

-My goodness

-By the way, this gentleman is also an MZ

The chat window buzzed at Ido-hyuk’s words.

It was true that ＜Ultimate Fighter FD＞ was once a hugely popular game.

It was a super popular game in the fighting game genre, hitting its peak with world championships.

But that was a story from the past when full-dive was just emerging.

Ulti-Fighter’s popularity plummeted rapidly after the emergence of Iron Fist.

Iron Fist, which came out later, surpassed Ultimate Fighter in various aspects.

And that was a story from several years ago already.

In the current Tworc, Ultimate Fighter was···

-Twifa ㄷㄷ

-So Master Dohyuk is playing Twifa..? It looks quite appealing

-Instead of that, why not play Iron Fist..

-ㅋㅋ That’s true too

Twiltimate Fighter.

Also known as Twifa.

Ultimate Fighter was treated like that within the Tworc community to the extent that it earned such a nickname.

Just as League of Legends rose to prominence during the PC gaming era, while StarCraft was pushed to the background, Ultimate Fighter also became like a star with the emergence of Iron Fist.

Of course, there was a time when Ultimate Fighter was synonymous with fighting games, and vice versa, so calling Ultimate Fighter Twifa was a nickname mixed with a certain affection.

In reality, there were many streamers who occasionally used Ultimate Fighter as content.

But that was more like a side content, not the main focus.

For example, playing traditional games like yut is boring on ordinary days, but it becomes a hit content during holidays.

Even when there’s nothing much to do among close streamer friends, having a light 1:1 match felt like the right vibe.

“Indeed, what Blon said makes sense.”

Watching the chat reactions, Lee Dohyuk had that thought.

It wasn’t for no reason that he, a veteran streamer, avoided making Alfa his main content.

Ding-

[“KneelPigJetUpper” has donated 1,000 won.]

-Wanna try Apex, the hot game?

-For real, if you’re gonna play, Apex is the way to go.

-I’ve never played Alfa before.

-Kids these days are all about Alfa.

-It’s fun when you play though, hahahaha.

-But the graphics are a bit…

Viewers also had mixed reactions.

“For now, it seems right not to play this on the broadcast.”

As someone just starting out with broadcasting like Lee Dohyuk, it was best to play the game that most viewers wanted.

[Current viewers: 2,245]

Just a few minutes into the broadcast, the viewer count hit two thousand.

However, most of them weren’t Lee Dohyuk’s fans.

-But is he really good at games?

-Yeah, he’s pretty good.

-Hmm… is he really…?

-You’ll know if you watch, hahahaha.

-Yeah, he’s good.

-I came from YouTube~

Most were casual viewers who tuned in to see him stir up some drama.

The rest were slowly becoming his fans, but it was too early to consider them as such.

In reality, gaining fans so soon after revealing his face was a tough feat.

Even if he played Ultimate Fighter, it seemed fitting to establish a broadcasting foothold first and then try sub-content once he had a stable viewer base.

“Well, I’m not saying I’ll do it right away today. For now, let’s…”

[Hello] -＞ [Became a Viking in the game, Day 1]

As Lee Dohyuk adjusted his broadcast, he smoothly launched the Rise of Valhalla he had pre-purchased.

Thud- Thud-

-Oh?

-Huh?

-Yay!

-It’s here!

With a grand BGM, Rise of Valhalla began playing.

Even before displaying it on the broadcast screen, some viewers could tell just from the background music.

Soon, as Lee Do-hyuk began to broadcast the screen, the first thing that appeared was the Viking’s distinctive battleship with a dragon head ornament, the Longship.

Next, Viking warriors gradually landing on the land came into view.

And in the center, the protagonist of Rise of Valhalla slowly revealed himself.

With black paint on his face, wearing thick layers of leather armor, the warrior stood thickly armored.

Behind him were a long spear and a round shield, with a hand axe in each hand.

“···We will play Rise of Valhalla.”

[Rise of Valhalla]

With Lee Do-hyuk’s words, the game title finally appeared.

-Kya

-Wow!

-Pya

-Valhalla!

“Talking about Valhalla? Epic fail lol”

-Ohhh

“Valhalla is calling me!”

Viewers were ecstatic at the emergence of Rise of Valhalla.

Ding-

“[n8539_opq0372 has donated 500,000 won.]”

“Valhalla’s victory!”

Even viewers were sending huge amounts of donations.

And so, amidst fervent anticipation, Lee Do-hyuk’s gameplay of Rise of Valhalla began.

**

[Select a mode]

-Game mode-

-Reality mode-

Boop-

Of course, Lee Do-hyuk chose Reality mode.

-Kya

-That’s right

-1st round Real Challenge lol

The chat window had been rapidly filling up since Valhalla was launched.

From the start, there was a reason why viewers recommended Rise of Valhalla the most in Lee Do-hyuk’s Twitch community.

Valhalla’s Real Mode Challenge, especially the Dual Axe Challenge, was quite prestigious.

In the promotional videos and teasers of Rise of Valhalla, the protagonist was shown wielding two hand axes.

Dual axes = cool.

Vikings = cool.

So, dual axes + Vikings?

Super cool.

Based on this high-level logic, the promotional videos of Rise of Valhalla were created.

And now, adding a Real Mode to the mix?

However, was it Yido-hyuk, who had shown a crazy side even in ＜Eat Kills Two＞ with two axes?

– Snacks, anyone?

– Wow, this is gonna be so much fun!

– Yido-hyuk, we’re cheering for you!

– The twin axes are coming!

Even if you tried not to have expectations, it was impossible.

“Oh, and today we have a special guest.”

At that moment, Yido-hyuk spoke up.

– Blon?

– Was today the collaboration? Wow.

– Wow, a collaboration with a mid-sized streamer from the first day of the broadcast.

– Right now, we have 2,500 viewers; Yido-hyuk, aren’t you a mid-sized streamer too?

“Yes, as announced before, it’s a collaboration with Blon. Just a moment.”

Ping-

Yido-hyuk sent an invite to BlackOrc.

“Everyone, say hello to Bla!”

Soon after, BlackOrc appeared.

Along with the collaboration announcement today, BlackOrc, who had been waiting for Yido-hyuk’s invite while streaming, appeared.

– Bla!

– Oh.

– Wow, here comes the clumsy one.

– Black Mosquito ON.

– hahahaha, just a few days ago it was a blood-sucking mosquito, now it’s a real one.

– From Ishang YouTube mosquito to Twok?

– Oh, it’s Blon.

– Bla~

– hahahaha, is there a real difference in looks with Yido-hyuk next to him?

– What? BlackOrc is a physical streamer? It’s just a thing of the past without Yido-hyuk.

With his appearance, the chat was flooded with messages.

The responses to BlackOrc were about 7 to 3.

Seven positive responses.

As much as Yido-hyuk’s contribution was significant in gaining his initial fame, there were many supporters.

Of course, since today was Yido-hyuk’s first broadcast, there were viewers expecting his solo stream, so there were also those who didn’t welcome BlackOrc’s appearance.

“Oh! Everyone, stop the mosquito hate!”

BlackOrc responded casually to those people.

Yido-hyuk also chimed in.

“I know it’s a joke, but it’s a mosquito. Actually, I’m the one being overshadowed by BlackOrc.”

“hahahaha, no. Right now, I’m the mosquito. But still…”

However, BlackOrc is a man who knows what give and take means.

[“BlackOrc has raided 2,427 viewers!”]

“If it’s at this level, wouldn’t it be closer to a honeybee than a mosquito?”

-Oh

-Wow

-???

-Kya

-What’s this?

[Current viewers: 5,128]

-This newbie is insane

-5,000 viewers on the first day, insane

-A monster newbie, appears

Day 1 of the broadcast.

To be precise, it was Lee Dohyuk’s first show that hit 5,000 viewers in just 25 minutes.
