43 – Fame

“Um… did I do something weird…?”
Except for the spam-like chats caused by slow chat mode, no other chats were being posted.
That chat was also banned and disappeared in an instant, so it was incredibly quiet.
No one was saying anything in the voice chat either.
‘Did I really mess something up?’
No? The screen is working fine, and my voice doesn’t sound strange, does it?
What is it?
“Ah, right! It’s the Sword Demon Baek Ha-yeon!”
Jin Na-yeon, the oldest and most veteran here, regained her senses and started to lead the situation.
Starting with those words, the chat window finally burst open like a dam.
-Sword Demon noona! Sword Demon noona!
-Being strong and pretty is cheating!!
-Wow, so hot…. (This chat has been deleted)
Chats like these were just pouring in like crazy.
And then I saw a message from my sister on my personal Discord.
Choha-Ya! What are you wearing!
Sword Demon(Ha-yeon)-….? Why, what’s wrong?
She had no idea that Choha was mentally facepalming and sighing, and she just wore a blank expression.
Unaware that the chat window was on fire, she looked at the reply from Choha.
Choha-No, who wears clothes like that for their first stream, especially at work?
Sword Demon(Ha-yeon)-Everyone else does it….
Choha-That’s because they’re veterans and full-time streamers! You’re here on a contract!
Sword Demon(Ha-yeon)-I don’t know! Ha-jeong told me to just be comfortable, right?
With those words, Ha-yeon casually ignored the incoming chats.
She didn’t know that an evil spirit had appeared on Choha’s camera, and she just listened to Jin Na-yeon’s progress.
“Then let’s start the game now. Everyone, come on in!”
With those words, the game that Ha-yeon started was ‘Hayden Ring’.
It was a game made by ‘Hyper’, a company that mainly makes battle royale and fighting games. Originally, it was a game for 100 people, but they made a mode to narrow the map and allow 4 people to play.
Actually, when I first heard that she was going to do a stream, I thought she would play Royal Knights, which Jin Na-yeon mainly plays, or the completely unsuitable cleaning game, Cleanup Detail.
That’s her main content, and if there’s a guest, they always do it.
‘But work is work.’
Now that I’m here, she won’t be able to play those games.
That’s almost like bringing in a powerful soldier who’s popular these days and suddenly making them play a cooking game.
To be honest, it doesn’t really matter that much, because when a guest like me comes, they mainly do talk shows.
I heard in advance that we would be talking a lot while playing the game.
Anyway, I turned on the game, entered the code, and entered the room, and the waiting room appeared.
“Is everyone ready?”
“”Ready!””
“Yes!”
Ha-yeon and Choha, who answered the same way as expected of family, were left behind as the game started.
All four of them are using the basic character with the basic perks.
I guess they’re being considerate of me since it’s my first time playing this game…
‘That’s a big miscalculation.’
Hyper is a pretty famous company that has made a lot of games so far.
They have one characteristic: whether it’s a battle royale or a fighting game, the controls are almost the same.
And another thing to know is that among the battle royale series they made, there is also the ‘Usurpation of the Throne’ series.
‘It’s my first time playing this.’
Ha-yeon skillfully moved, thinking about the series that she had played for about 200 hours.
“This is… the same as Electro. This is the Speeder class…”
She compared the skills, items, and classes of the Usurpation of the Throne game with the items and built a build.
All the items are pretty much the same, so it might be boring, but some series release the abilities of roles as items, and some series make items into enhancement abilities, so it’s tricky.
I did some research in advance, so it wasn’t that difficult.
For reference, the background of Hayden Ring is a destroyed fantasy world.
“Wow… Ha-yeon, have you played Hayden Ring before?”
“No, I heard she hasn’t.”
“Anyone can see that you’re too skilled…?”
Jin Na-yeon answered Sugar’s question.
Choha answered Sugar’s question again.
“She’s crazy about the Usurpation of the Throne series.”
“Ah…..”
As it was a famous series, that alone explained it roughly.
“Then how much have you played this game, Honggeom?”
I asked because I’ve seen her play this Hayden Ring quite a bit, even though her main content is Royal Knights and Cleanup Detail, as I said earlier.
“About 310? 320? I remember it being around that much.”
Wow…. She’s played quite a bit.
“Then what about you, unnie?”
I don’t know if she plays this game or not because I haven’t watched Choha’s streams since the early days.
“25.”
“..25? 25 hours?”
25 hours?
That’s not much…
“25 days. 600 hours.”
This crazy woman.
No, my sister is a complete shut-in.
“No, is she a shut-in?”
“That’s too harsh, calling her a shut-in.”
“No, as far as I know, this game hasn’t even been out for a year yet!”
“It’s possible if you buy it as soon as it’s released and only play this game, so don’t worry.”
They continued to talk like that while steadily playing the game.
Before I knew it, Ha-yeon had a 3rd grade ‘Commander of the Constellation’s Helmet’ and a 2nd grade ‘Wandering Knight’s Plate’.
Her main weapon was a 3rd grade ‘Enesia Sword’ and her sub weapon was a mere 1st grade ‘Thunderclap’.
If it weren’t for the sub weapon, it would have been a ‘near-endgame’ weapon set.
‘The sub weapon is so hard to get.’
It’s really hard to get.
The main weapon drops like crazy, but the only sub weapon I have is that Thunderclap.
The good thing is that Thunderclap is a top-tier 1st grade, so it’s about a 2nd grade?
‘But it’s still ruined.’
As I was thinking that,
“Then let’s start the destruction phase now.”
Since the game is set in a world that is being destroyed, the game’s boundaries are set as the destruction of the world.
The setting is that if you go out, you just fall into the abyss of the bottomless pit and die.
Um….. Why do I feel uneasy?
It feels like I’m going to see that in real life.
‘It’s just a feeling.’
Thinking that, Ha-yeon cautiously headed to the safe zone called ‘Sacred Domain’.
That was when.
“First blood!”
Choha shouted.
‘Me?’
Thinking that, I looked around, but I couldn’t see anyone.
Maybe the target of that first blood is.
“Agh! How can I get one-shot!”
Sugar.
She had a blank expression as she looked at her character, who had died almost instantly.
“Wow… is that guy going the assassin route? He’s just doing whatever he wants because he has his sister.”
Jin Na-yeon was a bit dumbfounded and said whatever she wanted.
Then, as if following the flow of consciousness, she suddenly said that to Ha-yeon.
“Sword Demon-nim, should we drop the formalities?”
Jin Na-yeon said that because she has a cheerful personality and doesn’t like formalities, and she really thought it was a hassle.
There’s no reason to refuse.
“Sure, is it okay if I call you unnie?”
Unnie is now quite comfortable to say.
When I said that, Jin Na-yeon blushed for some reason and said.
“Of course!”
‘More than that, the assassin route…’
It’s one of the routes that I’ve only dipped my toes into before.
It’s one of the strongest and most vicious routes if you can get into it.
The farming items are really tight, so it’s a luck-based game, but if you can get in, you can definitely win while getting a lot of hate.
‘I saw it for a moment, but it was a scam.’
The sub weapon’s additional effect is 1.7x damage for the first hit.
In addition, the main weapon’s effect reduces footsteps and increases basic attack power.
The helmet gives the location of the enemy and 3 fake locations every certain amount of time, which is a scam despite the penalty.
The armor hides your presence, and the first strike you make deals an unavoidable attack equal to 70% of your attack power if it reduces the enemy’s HP by more than half.
All of these weapons are 3rd grade, so the probability is extremely low, but thanks to these effects, it has the modifier of being the strongest if you can collect them.
And Choha got that probability in this game.
‘She’s so unlucky.’
Ha-yeon frowned slightly and moved further towards the center.
This is because the destruction was accelerating from the end of the map.
‘I’m going to meet them for sure now.’
She placed the traces of destruction right behind her back to avoid being ambushed from behind and moved little by little.
And then, at that moment.
“This is the end, you bastard!”
Choha suddenly crashed from the sky.
It was a very short time of about 0.5 seconds, but I was barely able to avoid it with the senses of an S-class Hunter.
“That was so close.”
I almost lost more than half of my health.
If I lost more than that, I would definitely die.
Even though I dodged it, I took damage that would have taken more than half of my health just by looking at it.
I almost lost half of my health.
“Brain lag!… No, Thunderclap!”
Ha-yeon immediately threw her sub weapon.
The reason why Thunderclap is a top-tier 1st grade is because of its stun effect.
It’s difficult to hit, but if you hit it, it boasts overwhelming performance.
And I hit it now.
“That’s the price for ambushing me!”
With those words, Ha-yeon manipulated the command to make her sword stab the enemy.
It’s the end…!!
“…Eh?”
It didn’t end.
Choha’s character, who had barely recovered from the stun, rolled forward and instantly came behind and stabbed her sword.
It was the end of Ha-yeon, who used a long stab with a very long after-delay.
“Ugh……”
An unexpected twist.
No, how could I have known that the stun would suddenly wear off there?
Even if the commands and item effects are similar, I had to know that the fundamentals are different games.
The stun effect is a bit short in this game…..
Ha-yeon was feeling dejected.
She didn’t know.
That her dejected appearance would be transformed into a meme and become a historically significant ‘Noona Dejected Emoticon’ on the internet.
