The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

Chapter 15 The Villain Appears (2)

The viewer departure had stopped.

No, rather, as time passed, the number of viewers logging in was rapidly increasing.

There were viewers who came in after watching the tutorial video I played of , and viewers who came after watching the Japanese streamer’s video.

On top of that, viewers hosted by streamers from ChickenBox joined in, so the chat room became even more chaotic than I had expected.

It felt like bringing hell into the chat window.

Low-level trolls popping up everywhere.

And various memes that even I couldn’t easily distinguish.

Get a grip.

I was the master of this hell.

“I’ve prepared intensely for over the weekend. Everyone, watch with anticipation.”

‘Have a question’ sponsored 1,000 won!

[What time does the broadcast end today? ㅋㅋ If it’s long, I’ll order chicken in advance.]

They really paid to ask a question when I told them to.

It was a very commendable attitude for a viewer.

I glanced at the donation and answered.

“Today, it’s exactly 4 hours. In that time, I’ll thoroughly crush Japan.”

‘Long live the Empire of Japan’ sponsored 1,000 won!

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋ No conscience. He made his nickname super provocative and still thinks about broadcasting. Aren’t you afraid of the Japanese people’s anger?]

Before I could even answer that donation, question marks and various curses started flying in the chat window.

-???

-???

-Ban that overly immersed jerkㅋㅋ

-These days, Japanese people also know Korean wellㅋㅋ

-That jerk pulls aggro in other streamers’ rooms too

-He’s just saying things that make senseㄷㄷ

-At least during the colonial era, refrain from being Japanophiles. Damn it.

With so many diverse viewers, I didn’t even need to react.

They were fighting amongst themselves.

I looked at the chat window with disdain and quickly proceeded with the broadcast.

No matter how entertaining watching a fight was, the broadcast had to go on.

“Today, I’ll be streaming placement matches for the competitive mode. The goal is to complete all five placement matches before the end of the broadcast and end it by showing the rank. No questions this time.”

In the mode of , there was a competitive mode where ranks were divided like in other games.

There were six ranks in total.

, , , , , and .

Of course, there was a rank after that, but that’s not a human rank, so I’ll leave it out.

In any game, ranks like … were closer to something non-human than human.

Anyway, the highest rank you could get from placements was Platinum, and my goal today was also Platinum.

They said if you won all five matches, you’d get Platinum.

[Proceeding with mode in .]

[Searching for a match.]

During the weekend, I researched this game and achieved quite a lot.

I didn’t know about other heroes, but at least when it came to this hero called Yoru, I did thorough research.

Of course, I practiced with a few other heroes besides Yoru, but I planned to do the placements with Yoru alone.

He was the hero I was most confident with and found the most fun.

What I realized clearly over the weekend was that no other hero in could create variables like Yoru.

Especially the skill’s mechanism wasn’t limited to just movement.

While I quickly simulated in my head, a match was found, and my body was transported to a new battlefield.

[Entering .]

All the maps in were based on real Japanese terrain.

One of the reasons why Koreans extremely disliked was because of this map.

Yasukuni Shrine.

Despite many users, including Koreans, protesting against this map, it stubbornly remained.

It was even the most frequently used map in professional tournaments held in Japan.

As soon as the first match of the placements was decided to be on this map, the chat window became noisy.

-Disgusting Yasukuni Shrineㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Bartender! Bring me 100 bowls of patriotism. I’ll eat it all by myself.

-The matchmaking god is helping to create a legend from the first match.

-Heyㅋㅋ Look at the enemy team. There are three Japanese streamers.

-??? Are they famous?

-ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇThey’re out to snipe Lipatman on the Japanese Twipod. All three are top 500 rankers. One is a professional gamer.

-Can’t they be taught a lesson?

-Honestly, no matter how talented he is, it’s tough against a current pro and rankers.

Glancing at the chat, it seemed like there were many streamers on the other side.

Hmm.

It was something I had anticipated.

I hadn’t expected them to blatantly snipe me from the first match.

Moreover, the fact that there was a successful sniper on their side meant:

-You will never win while streaming.

It also meant there were snipers on my side too.

Hmm, at least it’s just one.

The other four players were chatting casually despite seeing my ID.

-What’s wrong, buddy?

-Look at that guy’s ID. LittleBoyFatMan. Doesn’t that make you mad as a Japanese?

-Oh, I know that guy too. But he seems really good at the game. Maybe he’ll carry us?

-What? And you call yourself Japanese…

-Well, who cares? Winning is what matters, right? I’m in a promotion match.

-Me too.

Hmm, yeah.

In ranked games, nothing was more important than promotion matches.

It was a reaction I could fully understand. I nodded as I silently watched the chat.

There was no need to berate them when they weren’t trolling.

Yeah, ranks are important.

-Okay, trust me. I’ll get you the win.

I typed cheerfully in the chat and took a deep breath.

Honestly, I was expecting a 1 versus 11 situation, but this was fortunate.

A 5 versus 7 was doable.

[The game is starting.]

[Capture the control point.]

It was time to show the results of my weekend’s practice.

The map ‘Yasukuni Shrine’ was unique, as it had only one control point.

Having just one control point meant intense battles.

It was a map where you had to maintain focus and annihilate the enemies to gain the upper hand.

After selecting Yoru, I slowly surveyed the surroundings.

Rather than replicating the real Yasukuni Shrine, they had implemented various unique structures for game fun.

The walls were taller than in reality, and peculiar platforms were installed everywhere.

I had already figured out how to use Yoru on this map.

After telling my teammates to gather and head to the control point, I immediately started acting solo.

Yoru was a weak hero in group fights.

He had to isolate and eliminate enemies one by one to gain numerical superiority.

Besides, with three stream snipers on the enemy team, if I played my cards right, I could easily gain the upper hand.

Vuuuuung.

Using the hook, I swiftly moved towards the enemy’s respawn point.

[You hear someone’s footsteps.]

[Your movement speed increases.]

The bait came quickly.

As soon as Yoru’s passive skill, Keen Hearing, activated, an ambushed enemy revealed themselves, lunging at me with a sword.

It was Tsuki, a fellow ninja-type hero.

This character was known for ambushing specific areas to assassinate enemies.

Wasn’t it nicknamed the newbie killer?

Newbies who didn’t understand the game would quickly fall to Tsuki’s sudden attacks.

Of course, I was a newbie too.

Just a slightly different kind of newbie.

As soon as Tsuki revealed himself, I had already activated Yoru’s second skill.

Yoru’s second active skill, .

It darkens a part of the body, making the affected area temporarily invincible.

With a cooldown of 10 seconds, it was a very useful skill.

The area that could be darkened was very small. At most, the size of a palm?

But if you accurately predict the enemy’s attack.

Pwooooosh.

You could easily nullify the enemy’s surprise attack.

Moreover, an opponent who plunged their weapon into the darkened area would be unable to use their weapon for 3 seconds.

Just like now.

The enemy’s thin sword pierced the darkened part of my neck. It showed that this guy was quite skilled too.

Even with game mechanics applied, you still needed experience to stab accurately where you intended.

I looked at the opponent’s wide eyes and smiled lightly.

Then, I immediately thrust a shuriken into his neck.

[LittleBoyFatMan (Yoru) → Yamato (Tsuki)]

The scene was streamed live through my broadcast.

-I’m watching Samurai Wars for the first time. Why didn’t he die just now? Someone explain, please.

-That’s a character-specific skill.

-Is it invincibility? That’s insanely brokenㄷㄷ This game’s balance is trash.

-It’s invincibility, but partial invincibility. The invincible range is really narrow, so even pro gamers struggle to use it well. In theory, it’s extremely broken, but who can predict the exact location of an opponent’s attack without error? To precisely calculate the incoming trajectory and cast the skill, you’d need a supercomputer in your head.

### Chapter 15 The Villain Appears (2)

-Thank you, Speedwagon!

-(Something about how freaking cool that was).

The viewers were amusing themselves perfectly fine without my intervention.

Kind viewers were explaining everything even without my input.

Ah, it felt so good to broadcast effortlessly.

Leaving the fallen corpse behind, I immediately used the hook and started moving again.

The respawn time in this game was 10 seconds.

Even though one of our team members was trolling, we were still outnumbered.

Quickly checking the team status board, I noticed something surprising: our team was capturing the control point.

Our outnumbered team was gaining the upper hand against an enemy team mixed with rankers’ alternate accounts.

Something felt off.

“Yamato, why is that guy going out and dying alone?”

“That’s how streamers are. They crave attention. That Korean will come here eventually.”

Naruhito and Yuta, professional gamers of the ‘Tokyo Giants’ pro gaming team, had sniped the stream to assassinate the Korean who dared insult the Japanese. And they had succeeded in their snipe.

The two intended to punish the one with the heinous nickname ‘LittleBoyFatMan.’

If they succeeded in their revenge, they could gain rapid recognition within Japan.

They could convert many fans into Tokyo Giants fans, thereby raising their own value.

So, when they heard that ‘LittleBoyFatMan’ had started streaming, they immediately logged into the game.

Up until that point, they had thought it would be easy to take down the Korean rookie.

Because there was no duo in the entire Japanese pro league that could surpass their synergy.

Rated as the best damage-dealing duo in , they had no doubts about their victory.

“That guy hasn’t even been playing for a week. We’ve dealt with countless players who relied solely on their physical abilities, haven’t we?”

“Right.”

“Yoru isn’t that great of a character. If you land the snare…”

They were hiding on the path to the control point, waiting for ‘LittleBoyFatMan.’

Vuuuuung.

“What the…!”

Naruhito was shocked as he saw Yuta being dragged away right before his eyes.

Yuta’s shoulder had been impaled by Yoru’s skill, .

And soon, the Korean was rapidly closing in on Yuta, pulling him with the hook.

Yuta, who had fallen to the ground, thrust his long sword at the approaching Yoru.

Despite the suddenness of the situation, Yuta’s reaction time was that of a professional gamer.

It was an attack that couldn’t be avoided while in midair.

“Got you…”

Pwoooosh.

However, Yuta’s sword merely pierced through Yoru’s body without killing him.

“Revenge of the Night?”

As a pro gamer, Yuta immediately understood what had happened.

Revenge of the Night.

A skill that countless pro gamers had studied but ultimately found to be a flashy gimmick.

Yet, this damn Korean had used the skill to nullify the attack and smoothly embedded a shuriken into Yuta’s neck.

[LittleBoyFatMan (Yoru) → Yuta2 (Wakazaki)]

The Korean, who had pierced Yuta’s neck, grinned maliciously atop Yuta’s corpse.

And then words flowed from his mouth in Korean, which Naruhito couldn’t understand.

“The villain has appeared, you sons of bitches.”

Naruhito shuddered at the sight of the Korean’s devilish smile.
