Chapter 55: BJ JjuSim

Prisoner disappeared.

It didn’t take long for people to notice.

Rank 1 in solo queue.

The first-ever Challenger to reach 2000 LP.

A 35-game win streak in the Challenger bracket.

Any one of these accomplishments alone would have been more than enough to draw attention, yet Prisoner had achieved all three.

And then, just like that, Prisoner vanished.

On the very day they reached 2000 LP.

“Ah, hello, everyone. Testing, testing. Can you all hear me clearly?”

– Yes, we can.
– Nope, can’t hear.
– We hear you.
– Let’s gooo~

Internet broadcasters and trending topics are inseparable.

Controversy and relevance.

Viewership and clicks.

For streamers like BJ JjuSim, who belong to the successful tier of broadcasters, trending topics were everything.

So much so that JjuSim canceled a rare month-long break and even a date to hurriedly start this broadcast.

“Alright, everyone, it’s JjuSim time.”

JjuSim soothed his aching stomach with honey water.

After partying hard the night before, he still hadn’t completely shaken off the hangover, but missing today’s major topic wasn’t an option.

– JjuSim, hello.
– Let’s gooo~
– Look at his face, lol.
– Canceling your break, seriously? Lol.
– That’s not the point. Prisoner disappeared.
– Do you know Prisoner’s gone?
– Check quickly!

Amid the flood of chat messages, JjuSim pretended to be clueless.

When the viewer count exceeded 5,000, he delivered the line he had prepared in advance.

“What do you mean? Prisoner disappeared?”

– Yeah, after reaching 2000 LP, they suddenly vanished.
– Check pp.gg now!

“What are you all talking about?”

– Stop asking and just check already, you idiot.
– Lol, what a noob.
– Just check!

JjuSim chuckled at the predictable flood of comments.

“Alright, alright, can’t I even joke? Let’s see here…”

Just as the viewers had said, Prisoner’s ID was gone from all record-tracking websites.

It wasn’t a case of their rank dropping; they had genuinely disappeared.

“…They’re really gone.”

The key here was JjuSim’s convincingly genuine reaction, as if he had no idea.

This would enhance the immersion when the clip was uploaded to YouTube later.

– Seriously vanished.
– Do you know why?

“What would I know?”

“What if they got banned for using cheats? Lol, a 35-win streak in Challenger solo queue is kind of insane.”

“Hey, let’s not cross the line, everyone. Are you seriously accusing the first-ever 2000 LP jungler of using cheats? I won’t tolerate that kind of slander. If you keep it up, you’ll get banned. Blacklisted.”

– Jungle pride much? Lol.
– Fun fact: In the past week, JjuSim lost to Prisoner 12 games to 0. Absolutely obliterated.

“- Ran into them 12 times? This guy’s a sniper for sure.”

“- Lol, of course.”

“And as for whether Prisoner used cheats, I can tell you from firsthand experience—that’s not the case. Prisoner is just built differently. Even AlphaGo couldn’t play like that.”

“- Lolol.”

“- Fun fact: Over six games, JjuSim didn’t manage to kill Prisoner even once.”

“Let’s be honest here. No matter how good I am, how could I possibly beat a 2000 LP jungler? Am I right?”

“- True.”

“- Hierarchy confirmed, lol.”

“- So, are you just giving up?”

“Don’t get it twisted, everyone. Kneeling right now is just to build momentum for a comeback.”

“- Ugh, that’s so gross, lol.”

“- Dude, you’re extra cringe today.”

“- Gold Simp! Gold Simp! Gold Simp!”

“If you keep spamming about gold, I’ll kick you out.”

“- Silver Simp! Silver Simp!”
“- Bronze Simp! Bronze Simp!”

“Fine, you win. I’ll admit defeat. Let’s call me Plat Simp, okay?”

Faced with the relentless barrage of comments, JjuSim raised his hands in mock surrender.

“Alright, alright. My bad.”

Still, being called Silver or Bronze was going too far.

“Prisoner disappearing… This isn’t a normal situation.”

“- You’re just realizing that now?”

“- Lol, this guy is so slow, it’s painful.”

“- Can’t you tell he’s acting? How could a dummy like this even reach Challenger?”

In less than an hour, the viewership skyrocketed.

The effort of canceling his break and jumping into the broadcast was already paying off.

“Alright, everyone, today’s content is none other than Detective JjuSim.”

Putting on horn-rimmed glasses he had prepared beforehand, JjuSim struck a pose, pretending to be a detective.

“- Classic content from our king mosquito streamer.”
“- As expected of the four-digit jungler.”
“- Let’s go, JjuSim!”

“Okay, okay, let’s calm down. If you keep spamming like this, we can’t move forward with the content.”

“- Quiet down, everyone below me.”
“- ———“
“- Let’s go!”

Once the viewers settled down a bit, JjuSim got started.

“First, let’s check the community forums. We need to figure out what’s going on.”

“- Alright.”

“- Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”

As JjuSim opened the forums, he instinctively clicked on a particularly eye-catching post before even beginning his proper investigation.

Poll: Who is the best amateur jungler?

(Insert a cute bubble meme here)

Prisoner, the world’s first 2000 LP jungler, is the best amateur jungler. Upvote.

No, it’s JjuSim, the iconic four-digit jungler and proud RedTV BJ. Downvote.

– Internet clowns, get out.

– How dare you compare JjuSim? Lol.

– But what’s JjuSim’s score? So, what’s JjuSim’s score? What’s JjuSim’s score? Seriously, what’s JjuSim’s score?

– Stop dragging streamers into this. At least compare things that make sense.

“Ah… who even wrote this? Guys, don’t do this. Delete the post now.”

It was obvious that one of the viewers, knowing JjuSim was browsing the forums, had written the post.

– Lololol.
– Let’s gooo.
– Gold Simp! Gold Simp!
– Stop it, JjuSim’s watching, lol.

“I’m serious. I’ll sue. Delete it. I know one of you wrote this to make me look bad.”

– Are you accusing us now?
– Disappointed.
– Really?

“Fine. My bad. I’m sorry, okay? Happy now?”

“Hey, I downvoted it for you. Did well, right? Best amateur jungler, JjuSim!”

“Oh, please. Don’t make it worse.”

– JjuSim! JjuSim! JjuSim! JjuSim!

– Why do we feel embarrassed for him? Lol.
– Is this… secondhand embarrassment?

“Alright, enough. Let’s look at something else.”

JjuSim started scrolling through posts to investigate the events from last night.

– Prisoner’s 35-win streak. Lol, is he even human? Is he a god?

– Who is Prisoner, the world’s first 2000 LP jungler? (In-depth analysis)

– Full history of YunGi vs. Prisoner. Data-driven matchup results.

“…This is insane.”

The buzz surrounding Prisoner was overwhelming.

It felt like the aftermath of a Red Cup final, with the entire community in a frenzy.

After flipping through a few more pages, JjuSim finally stumbled upon posts related to the current situation.

– Yo, Prisoner disappeared. What’s going on?

– Can’t find Prisoner in the search results anymore.

– Did hitting 2000 LP break the game? Classic server issues, lol.

– Prisoner still shows up in my search?

As he skimmed through the posts, the viewers started to stir.

– Look at this one.
– Someone said Prisoner’s still searchable. Check it.
– Why are you ignoring us? Why even stream then?”

“Oh, yes, yes. I’m focusing. Wait, there’s a post like that?”

Finally, JjuSim found the post everyone was talking about.

“Prisoner still shows up in searches?”

JjuSim was shocked.
