​

​

My usual number of viewers was roughly 30,000 or a little less.

​

If you were to ask whether it was a small number compared to the number of people involved in various incidents, it would be reasonable to say.

​

However, not all people who came across such issues converted into viewers.

​

It is true that my awareness has increased rapidly due to various incidents, but there have been quite a few cases where the atmosphere of my broadcasts did not match the expectations of people who got to know me through such incidents.

​

It wasn’t anything very special. When the incident occurred, he was almost seen flying around, but on his personal broadcast, he was mostly just playing games and exercising. Something jaw-dropping doesn’t happen every day.

​

People who were interested in games and sports tuned in to my broadcast and became viewers, but people who were not interested simply lost interest and left.

​

And above all, it was only a few months ago in real time that I started broadcasting.

​

This level of growth is almost at the speed of light.

​

I nodded slightly.

​

‘It seemed like the chat progress was a little faster.’

​

I thought it was simply because the content was fun, but it seems that wasn’t the only reason.

​

There were so many questions asking how this technology was possible that Maria was filtering through them, and maybe that’s why it was too late to notice.

​

[Currently 84220 people watching!]

​

In the meantime, several hundred more people have already increased.

​

I thought to myself, ‘I wonder if it would be worth aiming for 100,000 viewers in the evening when the number of viewers is really high.’

​

A dream-like number that is difficult for an ordinary streamer to achieve even if he or she wakes up from the dead. Although it is not an impossible number, it is realistically difficult for an individual to achieve unless it is a very large project that has been heavily promoted.

​

As I was thinking that, Maria spoke to me. Since I was using high-speed thinking, it was a normal conversation in my head.

​

-But it’s still within the expected range.

​

‘okay?’

​

-Of course, considering real-world technological capabilities, the number is not that large compared to what Awaken showed this time. In fact, you could say it is less. The technology we revealed through this content is something that even the world’s best companies would covet.

​

‘then… ‘Maybe it’s because it’s the first day?’

​

Maria confirmed my guess.

​

-that’s right. It is still a hot topic not only in Korea but also in foreign communities. There will definitely be more as time goes by. If it starts to go viral, many times more people will flock to it, including foreigners.

​

In short, now is the stage where word of mouth is just starting to spread.

​

If I were to make a careful prediction, I thought that in just a few days, Awaken’s streamers alone would be able to reach hundreds of thousands of live viewers.

​

Anyway, as new viewers continued to flow in, many questions arose despite the play shown earlier.

​

I kindly explained again why we need to deal with the skeleton archers first for those who don’t know the system yet.

​

“It’s right to deal with those whose turn comes first. Although I’m good at dodging, it’s best not to give them a chance to attack at all. The archer is a ranged dealer, so he could ignore me and target Maria first. There is also a strong skill that can kill with one hit, so there is no need to target other guys first.”

​

-ㄹㅇㅋ

-Be quiet while playing the game!

-Has anyone here tried this?

-You must have tried many similar systems.

-You have to protect Maria.

​

In fact, I am confident that I can avoid most single attacks with my physical strength, but isn’t there a need to go through an inefficient process?

​

Even if I don’t brag about it anyway, viewers know that I’m good at avoiding things.

​

“Use strength-enhancing potion as auxiliary action power. Consume three concentration tokens to inflict a “crushing blow” on the skeleton archer.”

​​The Great Sword is a weapon farmed by killing other monsters.

​

“Crushing Strike” was an area attack technique attached to the great sword I was holding. Instead of being penalized on dice rolls, you can launch a powerful attack on a designated target, so if you hit it right, you can defeat the monster in one hit. The damage to enemies on the attached tile was halved, but it was not an easy skill, but it was a very good technique.

​

The penalty was alleviated by using a lot of concentration tokens. If you use more than one, efficiency decreases, but it’s better to be certain. Anyway, it will recover quickly thanks to support.

​

Degurrr…

​

[great success! The knight’s crushing blow struck the skeleton archer’s head! Critical Hit!]

​

Kwaaaang!!!!!

​

The skeleton archer literally died as his bones were crushed. The sight of the spine collapsing as if compressed was quite a nice feeling.

​

And because of the damage caused by the ground shaking, the skeleton wizard next to me also had his health reduced to less than half.

​

In fact, the strength-boosting potion was used for this reason. Even without using the potion, the archer could be taken out in one hit, but it was necessary to inflict as much damage as possible on the skeleton wizard.

​

I was able to find out why that was through Maria’s subsequent turn. The skeleton archer died and the turn was deleted, so it was her turn.

​

“Use magic power amplification potion as auxiliary action power! Consume one concentration token to activate “Skill – Fire Storm”!”

​

Woe!

​

A wiggling flame was created at the tip of Maria’s staff. Her magic wand was not the previous wooden wand, but a fancy metal wand with a red gem on the tip.

​

Unfortunately, the dice roll was not a great success. Still, the results did not change using the magic power amplification potion.

​

Quang! Grumbling~

​

A skeleton soldier hit by magic turns to ashes and collapses. And the mercenaries and skeleton wizards who were consumed by the darkness of the adjacent dungeon suffered area damage.

​

The skeleton wizard survived, leaving behind a small blood vessel commonly called a sylphy or talpi.

​

-ㄲㅂ

-Oh, it’s a shame this doesn’t hit the jackpot.

-It seems like it has high magic defense.

-You just have to avoid magic.

-Can you avoid magic attacks?

-Doesn’t it take one magic hit?

​

Viewers left a disappointing chat.

​

As the saying goes, magic cannot be avoided like a melee attack. This is because there were many attacks that covered more than one tile, such as the exploding fireball or firestorm used by Maria.

​

Then, you can’t avoid it unless you run to another tile, but in a turn-based game, there was no way you could do that during the opponent’s turn. The only way was to get a dice roll and use luck to avoid it.

​

The explanation of the narration continued.

​

[The skeleton soldier was reduced to ashes by the wizard’s attack. Mercenaries and skeleton wizards consumed by the darkness are in a burn state. A target suffering from a burn condition will suffer burn damage at the start of its turn.]

​

-uh? If this happens…

-Is it possible?

​

Some viewers who guessed something are excited.

​

And the moment Maria’s turn ended and the skeleton wizard’s turn returned, he suffered burn damage and was destroyed.

​

-Hey

-Wow, everything was swept away.

-You’re lucky.

-The deal calculation was crazy haha.

-I’m tired haha.

-‘You are already dead’

​

This is why we used doping potions as secondary action powers. It’s good to make sure to take down enemies one by one, but it’s a good choice if you can eliminate as many as possible.

​

As a result, the skeleton subordinates, excluding the mercenaries, were eliminated without being able to attack even once.

​

Instead, we had to face at least one more attack from mercenaries.

​

“Darkness will end you!!”

​

Whoop!!

​

A mercenary who strikes the ground with a sword full of black energy. At the same time, the entire tile we were standing on turned black.

​

‘Ah, this is where the whole attack comes from.’

​

Kwasik!

​

Along with our empty thoughts, a shadow protruding from beneath our feet pierced us.

​

Since it’s a mid-boss, it’s likely that he has at least one skill like this, but I thought I might be able to get through it with no damage if I’m lucky, but I was disappointed.

​

[The knight and wizard are experiencing a bleeding condition. A target affected by the bleeding condition will take bleeding damage at the start of the turn.]

​

-What kind of mercenary uses magic? Haha.

-It’s a magic trick! It’s magic!

-Monster skills are also quite diverse.

-Won’t this go away until I turn it off?

-It will go away after a few turns. It’s not some kind of hemophilia.

-Maria, you lost a lot of blood ㅠㅠ

​

“It’s bleeding, but it’s okay! There are many items saved so you can recover right away!”

​

As Maria said, I used the item as soon as the turn came to remove the status abnormality.

​

We poured out concentration tokens and aimed for critical hits. In the calculation, it doesn’t matter if she gets hit three times, but if she takes her time and gets a fatal hit, Maria would be in danger, even though I don’t know about it.

​

Fortunately, the mercenary who was hit by Maria’s magic seemed to come to his senses before he died, reaching his hand towards the ceiling and collapsing.

​

“Ahh, the battlefield… The battlefield is calling me… ”

​

[The knight and wizard succeeded in freeing the mercenary’s soul. They somehow felt that the darkness of the dungeon was lighter than before.]

​

I took a quick look at the number of viewers.

​

‘Oh, the number went up by 1,000 more.’

​
