    42 – Short Broadcast

    “PC setup complete.”

    The multi-million won supercomputer I ordered via Ro-x delivery two days ago finally arrived.

    Actually, I thought we’d just meet in person, but when I thought about it, we’re both strangers, and it’s awkward to suddenly visit someone’s house, even for work.

    She also thought it would be better to meet online.

    Anyway, after assembling all the components that arrived a few hours ago and confirming that it was working properly, Ha-yeon took a breath and went down to the basement.

    She hadn’t been training for a while, and her body felt stiff, so she went down to train.

    No matter how much she liked to play, she didn’t want to lose this power she had suddenly gained.

    “About… 4 hours left until the broadcast starts.”

    It’s 3 PM now, and the broadcast starts at 7 PM, so there’s plenty of time.

    Well, it’s not like there’s a lot of time left, so I can’t do anything that takes too long.

    “Dragon Orb.”

    When she waved her hand in the air, a lustrous jade orb appeared there.

    The Dragon Orb, an S-rank item.

    An item obtained as a reward for clearing a gate.

    I was wondering if I should get the Abyss Jewel as well, which is also an S-rank item, but honestly, it didn’t suit me, so I brought the Dragon Orb.

    “This is better anyway.”

    The effect of the Dragon Orb is simple yet powerful.

    It increases the amount of mana and strengthens the output of mana.

    And it also enhances skills related to dragons.

    “Dragon Transformation.”

    [Skill, ‘Dragon Who Hates Dragons (S+)’ is activated.]

    A skill bound to the Dragon Slayer’s Millennium Armor and unleashed by me.

    When the skill was activated, huge wings and horns grew.

    Then, the amount of mana increased dramatically once, and then began to decrease at an incredible rate.

    The quality of mana has improved tremendously.

    [The effect of the skill has been enhanced by the item, ‘Dragon Orb (S-)’.]

    The wings became a little bigger and began to glow with a subtle blue light, and the horns became sharper.

    “Blast.”

    A simple discharge of mana.

    A torrent of mana fired from her fingertip.

    Bang!

    When the attack hit the wall, a huge explosion rang out.

    “Wow… if I hadn’t protected it with mana, it would have been completely wrecked.”

    Ha-yeon shook her slightly tingling hand and recalled the scene just now.

    The mana consumption efficiency is much different than the skill Mana Beam, but the power is greater.

    Is this really a technique that only uses condensed mana!

    “It’s a little too difficult to use in actual combat.”

    It will be difficult to use in most real combat situations because you have to concentrate and draw up mana and then hit the target.

    Thinking so, she put away the Dragon Orb and used one of the skills that was the real reason she came down to the basement.

    “Aether.”

    [Skill, ‘Aether-Emptiness (S+)’ is activated.]

    Aether, an S+ rank skill.

    It is the highest-level skill that is no exaggeration to say is the biggest reward obtained from clearing the Dungeon.

    [Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ marvels that it is something around SS-rank.]

    According to the ability that the Constellation told me, Aether is a new source of power that is different from mana.

    The way to use it is similar to mana, but the Source is different, so he told me that it will definitely be a different power.

    Anyway, when I used the skill, a very white flame blazed on the palm of my hand, one of the organs where energy can be released most easily.

    Aether has no basic attributes, but it is a fire attribute only in terms of the influence it has on the surroundings.

    “Conversion.”

    When I slightly changed the nature of Aether, the white flame turned yellow this time and electricity began to flow.

    [Skill, ‘Aether-Thunderclap’ has been developed.]

    Opening of the attribute.

    I tried other attributes, but it didn’t work as I wanted.

    In the case of Thunderclap, I must have had an aptitude for it from before.

    “Pure destructive power is inferior to mana…”

    Literally, the destructive power is lower than that of condensed mana.

    However, it is expected that this is not the end.

    “I need to practice first.”

    That’s how time passed.

    “Should I go in soon?”

    Ha-yeon wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel and said, looking at her watch.

    The time is now 6:30.

    Considering the time it takes to go back, take a quick shower, and change clothes, it was quite a tight time.

    Ha-yeon put her slightly numb hand in her pocket, probably because she used a lot of Aether, and went up to the first floor and headed straight to the shower room to start showering.

    Still, I’m quite used to it now, so it doesn’t take that long to wash this long hair.

    Honestly, it doesn’t really matter if I don’t wash it, but there’s a feeling, isn’t there?

    Anyway, after roughly finishing the shower and showing off her flowing blonde hair, Ha-yeon looked for clothes to change into.

    “I’m not going to turn on the camera for now, but I might turn it on depending on the situation.”

    There’s a camera and you never know what might happen, so I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to wear a T-shirt and sweatpants if possible… Well, screw it.

    “Let’s just wear a T-shirt.”

    The usual look: a thin black T-shirt and short black dolphin pants.

    I was thinking of wearing the clothes I bought last time, but this is the best at home.

    After putting on some comfortable clothes, the time was already heading towards 55 minutes, so I quickly turned on the computer, sat in a comfortable chair, and called my sister on my phone.

    -Ah, are you all ready?

    “I turned on the computer and installed some of the games and programs you told me to.”

    -Good job. We’ll be chatting at the beginning and then we’ll go into the game. More than that, come to the server I’m sending you.

    Discord.

    In short, it’s a good communication program for playing games.

    When I entered the server that my sister sent me, a lot of members were listed next to me.

    About 50 people.

    This server is a streamer-only acquaintance server, so it seems to have a lot of people.

    -Wait, when the broadcast starts, come to the broadcast-2 room. Just follow us when we go there.

    After saying that, Choha hung up the phone, and Ha-yeon pushed the chair back and stretched out for a while, checked the time, and immediately entered the call room.

    In the call room were Jin Na-yeon and Baek Choha, and Sugar, a streamer I had only heard of.

    “Because it’s right, stop asking me! No, I think I’ve received that question about 50 times today! No, it’s written in the title, why do you keep asking me!!”

    Jin Na-yeon, who explodes my ears with gradation anger from the beginning.

    She was quite an active person, not like Jin Ha-jeong, who is sly.

    “Yeah, so stop asking and just write it on the screen.”

    “You haven’t done it yet? I wrote it before I even started.”

    The last words were said by my sister.

    Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on just by listening.

    I can only tell that Jin Na-yeon is pissed off because the viewers are asking repeated questions and is saying that.

    ‘Should I watch the broadcast?’

    Ha-yeon muted the volume on her phone and went to Jin Na-yeon’s broadcast, and the first thing she saw was ‘Sword Demon is coming, so stop asking! If you ask, you’ll be banned for 6 months’ written in large letters in the upper right corner of the screen.

    And the camera screen filling the screen.

    Like Jin Ha-jeong’s sister, she had black hair, red eyes, and fair skin, but the atmosphere itself was a completely different beauty.

    Um… well, to make an analogy, is she a mature woman type?

    Turning her eyes away from the screen and looking at the chat window, there were an average of 10,000 viewers, and today, with me, a super-special guest, there were a whopping 40,000 viewers, showing overwhelming firepower.

    So, even though I turned on slow chat, the firepower was not much different from when there were 10,000 people.

    Well, most of the chats were about when I would come out, what I would do today, and that the older sister was so pretty… let’s skip that.

    -Red Blade: I’ll let you know when to introduce you later!

    -Red Blade: And please turn on the camera if you have one!

    The Discord chat that came up at that time.

    I would have been in big trouble if I had bought a monitor without a camera.

    According to Jin Na-yeon’s chat, I waited as she chatted.

    “Ah, Choha-ssi? Did you come in? Sugar too… you came in.”

    “I’m here.”

    My sister said that in a slightly languid voice.

    Wow… this is really awkward.

    Choha, knowing or not knowing that Ha-yeon was thinking that, turned on the camera and heated up the tension.

    “Why don’t you ask me?”

    Sugar opened her mouth at that time.

    She was a woman with a rather unique voice.

    A thin and seductive voice, yet somehow cute.

    And she had a very cute appearance that matched her voice.

    A round face, short bobbed hair, big eyes, and a playful personality.

    It seems like everyone here has different personalities.

    Jin Na-yeon, who is a mature woman, and my sister, who has a quirky personality.

    And Sugar, who is in charge of the cute side.

    And a klutz.

    “You were already here before I even came in, so what’s the point?”

    Saying that, Jin Na-yeon started the broadcast faster than scheduled, probably expecting that the viewers’ excitement would go beyond just heating up and become overloaded.

    “Okay, let’s start around here.”

    Saying that, Jin Na-yeon turned the screen to the Discord call screen.

    There were three cameras and… an account called ‘Sword Demon’ with a demon as a profile picture.

    ‘What the hell.’

    It was a nickname I made when I had a case of chuunibyou in middle school, and I honestly didn’t know because I had barely used it since then.

    More than that, how did I know I would be Sword Demon at that time and used that profile… no!

    ‘Should I change it now?’

    No, it’s a bit too much to change it now that the screen has already been turned.

    “Wow… I just saw it now, but the profile looks really scary.”

    I know.

    “Then, let’s invite our Sword Demon!”

    Ha-yeon, who was momentarily stunned by those words, quickly came to her senses, turned on the camera, and said.

    “I’m Baek Ha-yeon, an S-class Hunter, also known as Sword Demon!”

    …..

    After that, no chats came up.

    ….Huh?
