The Very Strange Guest (1) – “It Kills Two”

008.

Ding-

[“Lips2Chu” has donated 1,000 won.]

– They’re not a couple, they’re siblings, hehehe

As someone corrected the misconception sparked by a chat about the two being lovers and sent a donation.

“Uh… how many people are there? We’ve crossed over 400 viewers?”

“Wow. I’ve never hit 400 before.”

Ido-hyuk and Jian paused their game and engaged in conversation.

While the broadcast was ongoing, understanding the situation took precedence.

Suddenly, the number of viewers increased by hundreds.

From Noble mtl dot com

Identifying the cause was simple.

– BlackOrc is currently broadcasting lol lol lol

Friendly viewers were explaining the reason.

“BlackOrc?”

Ido-hyuk murmured softly.

…BlackOrc.

A name quite familiar to Ido-hyuk.

Hunters used to call one of the combat alien species with dark green skin, larger jaws than their heads, and protruding molars by the name BlackOrc.

How many novice hunters had fallen prey to those filthy and vile beings.

As Ido-hyuk recalled the past buried deep in his memory, he frowned slightly.

“Wow! Amazing! BlackOrc is watching? BlackOrc is watching my broadcast?!”

Jian’s exclamation shattered Ido-hyuk’s thoughts.

“…Do you know him?”

“Yeah! A famous streamer who plays games! Wow, amazing! Hello, BlackOrc!”

Jian bowed his head and greeted the screen.

The chaos wasn’t just in Jian but also in the chat box.

– Oh, so you know BlackOrc!

– Wow, BlackOrc, a super famous streamer, wow

– Famous? Hm… Is that so…

– Jian’s energy is so good lol

– How old are you?

“Me? I’m turning twenty this year!”

The chat box was taken over by BlackOrc’s viewers chatting as they tuned into Jianchu’s broadcast.

Of course, the attention focused on Jian, the broadcaster, was short-lived.

– So, what’s his real identity?

– Axe murderer! Axe murderer! Axe murderer!

– Just started the broadcast and really a newbie on day 1? Does that make sense?

– What do you think of yourself, a noob black pig who can’t play games well?

“…Black pig? Who’s that?”

BlackOrc’s viewers were completely fixated on Ido-hyuk.

And then, a donation alert rang out.

Ding-

[“BlackOrc” has donated 10,000 won.]

– Sorry hahahaha, I didn’t mean to disrupt the broadcast by saying I was just going to watch for a bit.

It was from BlackOrc.

**

A while ago, BlackOrc, who had been actively continuing his own broadcast, came across a video donation containing Ido-hyuk and Jian’s first play.

He was captivated by it and ended up finding Jianchu’s broadcast.

Whoosh-!

As soon as he tuned into the broadcast, what he saw was Ido Hyeok taking down Brute in <It Kills Two> with just one hand axe.

Casually dispatching Brute, who had struck fear into <It Kills Two> gamers with just one hand axe.

“Wow. Did you guys just see that? The axe murderer, what’s up with that?”

– For real, he’s so good at the game;

– Is being good at the game the same as being good at fighting?

-hahahaha, I’ve lived to see someone take down Brute with a hand axe.

-Is that guy a former lumberjack?

That was the entrance of <It Kills Two>’s Hidden Brute.

Seeing that, it was only natural that chaos erupted in Black Oak’s chat room.

Why?

Because it was Black Oak who first unlocked <It Kills Two>’s Hidden Brute.

“No. But, is this… Hmm, opening the Hidden Brute this easily?”

That was the essence of Black Oak.

-hahahaha

-Why use a flamethrower and a shotgun when you can just use a hand axe to kill him?

-For real hahahaha

Mocking comments about Black Oak flooded the chat.

[-Oh, so I wasn’t the first one to catch this guy? Well. He wasn’t that difficult to catch after all.]

“······.”

-hahahaha

-Info) Black Oak succeeded on his 7th attempt barely

Someone barely managed to catch Brute after seven tries, and that too, by farming multiple equipment.

While someone else just easily caught him with a single hand axe. Easy, right? That’s what was being said.

What Ido Hyeok intended wasn’t to provoke Black Oak, but it ended up being nothing short of provocation towards Black Oak unknowingly.

Even a viewer donated this to Ido Hyeok.

Ding-

[‘Kkamjangdwaeji’ has donated 1,000 won.]

-The person I know struggled with a flamethrower and shotgun, trying seven times to finally catch him… Why did he do that?

[-Oh, thank you for the 1,000 won donation. Hmm… seven times? Well, who knows? Not everyone is good at games, so if you’re not good at games, that could happen, right?]

“Can’t… can’t play games… ha, hahahaha.”

Black Oak let out a hollow laughter with a disappointed expression.

To hear such words as “if it’s a battle game, it’s Black Oak, and if it’s Black Oak, it’s a battle game” was disheartening.

Moreover, although known for battle games, Black Oak didn’t limit himself to just that.

He was essentially an all-genre streamer, with a main focus on battle games but also enjoying legends league and overground, as well as AOS, FPS, and various action games, playing them at a high level.

In fact, in this day and age where action-packed shooting horror games, slightly scary yet monster-slaying action-packed shooting horror games, are more popular than the ‘too realistic and frightening’ horror games like Full Dive.

Hence, being good at horror games basically meant being good at most games.

“···Sigh.”

But now, even such a Black Oak was being treated as a butterfingers.

For the viewers witnessing this, there was no shortage of laughter at his expense.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㄷㄷ Jianchu’s selection, the black oak with bad hands

-That’s not Jianchu, that’s a girlㅋ

-??? : Can’t play Black Online, he’s got bad hands

Ding-

[User ‘BlackPig’ has donated 1,000 won.]

Even though I was the first to open the hidden route in It Kills 2 and a prominent streamer, Black Oak, in the original world, now I’m called a bad player here?

Of course, Black Oak, a fairly popular mid-tier streamer, was well aware of what aspects of his gameplay the viewers found entertaining.

As such, he raised his energy even more than usual and began to showcase his gaming skills.

“Wait, bad player? What nonsense is that? Huh? I’m number one among domestic streamers in It Kills 2, whether it’s the first to open the hidden route or speedrun records.”

-Yeah, right, bad playerㅋㅋ

-Still needed 7 tries to kill the brute, bad handsㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋEven the speedrun record seems likely to get cut by a newbie today

And at that moment.

A chat message that couldn’t just be ignored caught Black Oak’s eye.

“…The first time?”

“Just a moment. Today is your first time with a full dive? It’s not the first time for It Kills 2?”

-Yeah, first time for both It Kills 2 and full dive

-Really? That doesn’t make sense?

-How can that be the first time?

-Unbelievableㅋ

-It’s trueㅋㅋ revealed his history earlier

It makes sense that It Kills 2 is the first time.

But full dive for the very first time?

Playing in reality mode, that essentially translates to real-world physical abilities.

‘What kind of person was he originally to…?’

Holding just an axe, confronting the brute, and even easily defeating it?

There’s something that doesn’t make sense.

It was the fact that Ido Hyuk, without any hesitation, boldly faced the brute’s attacks, which surprised Black Oak more than his actual gameplay.

‘He didn’t show a hint of hesitation.’

Just having good physical abilities doesn’t mean you’ll excel at full dive games.

In fact, many with great physical prowess often fail to utilize it effectively.

Because full dive games are truly ‘real.’

Especially the monsters in horror games are terrifying from their appearance alone.

Whether a part of them is decaying, flesh torn to reveal muscles or organs.

The intimidation these monsters exude cannot be dismissed as just a ‘game.’

Most people struggle to adapt when encountering full dive games for the first time.

Facing a horrifying monster charging at them.

How many can calmly respond and fight back?

But the appearance shown by Ido Hyuk was different.

“Clearly an experienced person… I thought they might be a seasoned veteran.”

Rather than flinching at the sight of the monster,

It was more of an attitude as if to say, ‘What’s the big deal?’

No, it went beyond that.

As Ido Hyuk looked at Brute, it wasn’t like he was seeing a monster he had to fight against…

“It felt more like spotting a prey to hunt.”

Did he really wield an axe to slay monsters?

Or was it a sword or spear instead of an axe?

It was Black Oak who had such thoughts while watching Ido Hyuk’s play.

Of course, in the civilized society of the 21st century Earth, it would be impossible, but such thoughts were inevitable.

And at that moment.

[-Amazing! Black Oak is here? Black Oak is watching my broadcast?!]

Black Oak’s thoughts couldn’t continue.

“Oh, those blind birds.”

“Because of them, the broadcast is a mess.”

Jianchu was having difficulty with the broadcast due to an unexpected increase in viewers.

“Oh no. I’ve been watching for too long.”

Watching the broadcast for a moment wouldn’t be a problem, but as it continued for minutes, Black Oak’s viewers ended up finding Jianchu’s broadcast too.

“Do you know Black Oak?”

“What do you think about the noob Black Pig who thinks he’s good at games?”

“;; Who the hell is Black Oak, you losers;”

“hahahaha those who watch female streamers are pathetic.”

“Don’t know Tworc’s famous streamer, Black Oak?”

The chat window of Jianchu was flooded with talk about Black Oak.

Seeing that, Black Oak frowned slightly.

“······.”

If Black Oak’s viewers simply ended up watching Jianchu’s broadcast, there would be no issue.

It would actually be a good thing for Jianchu to have more viewers.

But for viewers who sought out others’ broadcasts to the extent of disrupting communication with regular viewers, taking over the chat window, it was not ideal.

It was close to becoming one of those streamers who boast about having many viewers for no reason.

Just like Jianchu, who was smoothly running the broadcast until it suddenly got blocked.

“So, I originally planned to watch briefly and then turn it off…”

As Ido Hyuk’s play was so absurd, he forgot the timing to end the broadcast.

Unknowingly, he kept watching.

Eventually, Black Oak hastily sent a donation.

Ring-

[“Black Oak” has donated 10,000 won.]

“Sorry, hahahaha. I didn’t mean to disrupt the broadcast by watching for a bit.”

Further disruption would have been a nuisance on top of a nuisance, so it would be best to quickly sort out the situation.

‘Hold on a moment.’

At that moment, a passing thought brushed through Black Oak’s mind.

Watching himself, already struggling to take down Brute with just an axe, and the viewers finding amusement in such a scenario where he couldn’t handle the game, he wondered, ‘Could this turn into content?’

It was already entangled.

Ding-

– If it’s not too much to ask, may I request a mission? Just to speed up the broadcast a bit more since we’re already here hehehe

– Wow, the clumsy hands are here

– The world’s first blood-sucking mosquito, wow

– Oh hahahaha, it was real

– Blaha~

– Chu, are you finally rising in popularity?

Taking matters into his own hands and properly intertwining them.

“A mission? What kind of mission?”

Inquired Jian.

Black Oak responded to him with a bell sound.

Ding-

[‘Black Oak’ has requested a 1,000,000 won mission.]

– Clear using only the axe, no other weapons. I’ll do the legal broadcast mosquito as a substitute
