-He's insane he's insane he's insane he's insane he's insane

-He's taunting them here? Hahahahahahahaha

-They've met before, right? Hahaha

-Of course it's their first time. He's just doing it.

-I trust he didn't taunt thinking the opponent was a regular user instead of a fellow streamer.

Ah, right.

Seo-jun was surprised while reading the chat.

Was it because he was flustered after landing? Without even realizing it, he had naturally taunted them.

‘I think I've been streaming for too long.’

Originally, this kind of taunt was not in Seo-jun's character. How kind and upright of a personality did he possess?

Taunting was purely to bring fun to the stream, an act that went against his instincts.

However, since he had done it unconsciously, it was only right to see it as something that had become second nature to his body.

The saying that he had streamed for too long stemmed from this point.

‘Hmm. Right.’

Seo-jun added.

“There he comes. Just as planned.”

His nickname was Dokkaebi?

Who was he again? He felt like he knew.

-That landing was just as planned? Hahahahaha

-You purposely lowered your health and lured the opponent in!

-With low HP!

-So you're saying you won't get hit even once?

Seo-jun answered the chat. Since he would not be able to read the chat once the tournament entered the main game, this was perhaps the only moment in LiOS when he could play the game while communicating.

“Well, wouldn't it be possible to not get hit even once?”

And it was at that moment.

Swoosh.

Flutter.

Dokkaebi, who had slowly descended from the sky using a parachute, cut the cords and landed on the rooftop where Seo-jun was standing.

Subsequently, people could be seen landing one by one on the surrounding buildings as well.

Making eye contact with Seo-jun, Dokkaebi smiled warmly.

“Hello. You're Seo-jun, right? I'm streamer Dokkaebi.”

“Hello. I am streamer Jin Seo-jun.”

Yes.

Fellow streamers had to be friendly to each other like this.

The fact that he had thrown his manners out the window and taunted earlier had long since been erased from his memory.

“I am also an A-grade player just like you, Seo-jun, and yet you say you won't get hit even once? That is a bit disappointing.”

He was A-grade?

-He's a Challenger jungler

-I'm watching the official broadcast right now and listening to the commentary, and they say he's so good at boxing he's almost like a semi-pro?

-In the first place, isn't he a master of the Muay Thai hero, Kim Shin?

-Kim Shin lol. So that's why his name was Dokkaebi? lol

-It's not Muay Thai, you bastard. His name isn't Kim Shin either, wtf

Having quickly processed the information, Seo-jun laughed awkwardly.

“Ah, haha. You heard that?”

“Yes. Perhaps because I was right above you, I could hear it clearly.”

“I am sorry. I did not mean to look down on you.”

Seo-jun spoke cleanly like that and took his stance.

Dokkaebi likewise judged that speaking any further would be meaningless and brought a proper amount of tension into his body.

He also knew that Seo-jun's words were not meant to look down on him.

‘Geniuses are like that.’

He was sure that the reason Seo-jun had thrown away his weapon and taunted him was absolutely not because he had given up on the game.

No matter how much he had made a mistake starting from falling from the plane at the beginning, and had taken fall damage because he had not known how to land, he could overlook all that as unintentional trolling.

After all, was he not a rookie streamer? And a rookie to virtual reality as well.

However, the fact that openly trolling would lead to a fairly difficult aftermath was something all streamers who constantly monitored public opinion instinctively knew.

So, Seo-jun...

‘Probably truly believes that he can win without getting hit even once.’

Dokkaebi.

He was likewise a genius, so he could understand Seo-jun's thoughts and overlook it.

‘A genius... Unfortunately, it is the same for me.’

Hoping the battle would end quickly so that Seo-jun would not receive too much criticism, Dokkaebi lightly threw out a punch.

Whoosh!

It was a light, probing jab.

However, because his preparatory movement was optimized, it was powerful.

It was an attack from Dokkaebi, who was one of the top amateurs, capable of finishing Seo-jun in an instant.

But what entered Dokkaebi's field of vision was Seo-jun's punch growing larger and larger.

Thud!

A dull impact sound was heard.

“I am sorry.”

“Just how on earth did you...?”

In that moment, he forgot the fact that he was streaming and let slip words that hurt his pride.

But what returned was.

Thud!

was his other fist.

***

[Dokkaebi has been knocked unconscious by your fist.]

“Oh. It says he is knocked unconscious.”

Seo-jun looked down at Dokkaebi, who was lying face down in front of him.

He was not saying this to Dokkaebi.

-He really didn't get hit even once lol

-Honestly, I'm not even that impressed by the win lmfao

-FR, the streamer didn't get hit even once in bare-handed combat, but I'm not even surprised... What is this?

-Challenger jungler and semi-pro in real life? Ah lol. The streamer should invite him to his gym once.

-Just what on earth happens in that gym that makes Kim Tae-woo and World's No. 1 Swordsman hate it so much??

-Everyone's standards have gotten too high. Go to the tournament channel, you'll see the proper reactions lol

Seemingly in shock, Dokkaebi did not move a muscle.

“Seriously, how...? No, what was that? What did I get hit by?”

Normally, once one lost their pace, it was difficult to properly remember what had happened until they regained their composure.

It was an experience of one's mind being swept away as if a storm were raging.

Seo-jun had pushed him hard from the very beginning with the intention of finishing it quickly.

“First, let me go pick up my pistol.”

He had thrown it far behind him, but fortunately, it had not gone over the edge and fallen below.

The reason Dokkaebi had responded to the taunt earlier was likely because he had judged that even if Seo-jun went to pick up the pistol again, it would be fine since he only needed to hit him once.

Moreover, just in case, he had landed between Seo-jun and the pistol.

But what was the point of that? In the end, he had lost.

After retrieving the pistol, Seo-jun searched the rest of the rooftop, but there were no recovery items such as first aid kits or bandages.

“Why aren't you killing me?”

Dokkaebi asked Seo-jun as he was doing so.

“Didn't I kill you?”

“Haha. Yes, that is right. I will be logging out soon.”

Seo-jun chuckled inwardly.

No matter how much of a beginner he was at this game, and even if he had not heard any explanation from his teammates, wouldn't anyone be able to see that he was not completely dead in that state?

What was more, he had even asked why he was not killing him himself.

The desire for survival was capable of blinding someone to this extent.

Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders innocently and sat down near Dokkaebi.

“There is no first aid kit. Should I wait here until my teammates arrive?”

“That would probably be for the best.”

“Is that so? You see, I am good at fighting but bad at games.”

“Ah, I think I know what you mean. I was like that in the past, too.”

“Hahaha.”

“Hahaha!”

He naturally engaged in conversation with Dokkaebi.

It was better to have as many helpful friends as possible.

-A sudden chat time out of nowhere hahahahahaha

-Bad at games? Seriously?

-Just so you know, Dokkaebi isn't logging out anytime soon, so be careful, streamer

Most of the chat messages attempting to give information to Seo-jun were helpful.

However, that was not the case now, as Seo-jun also knew Dokkaebi's current status.

Knocked unconscious.

In a match with teammates, when a player's health was completely depleted, they fell into this state; if they received additional damage while knocked unconscious, they would die completely, but if a teammate came to help and revived them, they would live.

Therefore, Dokkaebi was currently drawing attention as much as possible so that Seo-jun would not notice, while waiting for his teammates.

‘My teammates are definitely coming. They just need to land one hit...’

And.

Bang!

“Die!”

Someone tried to approach the entrance leading to the rooftop while pointing their gun barrel.

However, the gunshot had resounded not from the direction of the entrance, but from the tip of Seo-jun's hand right next to Dokkaebi.

The moment that someone revealed their head even slightly, they were struck in the forehead by a bullet and died on the spot.

“Huh?”

[SwordGod14 --> Grass77]

The kill message popped up, and Seo-jun immediately stood up from his spot.

There was no innocent expression on his face.

Seo-jun only laughed as if it were amusing.

“A headshot really is a one-shot kill without even knocking you down. Well then, let us go see how many more have come to the building. Please wait a moment, Dokkaebi. I will be right back.”

“Huh?”

Leaving behind Dokkaebi's bewildered voice—who probably did not even know how many times he had said "Huh" over the past ten minutes—Seo-jun went downstairs.

And Dokkaebi closed his eyes tightly as he heard the gunshots echoing from below and saw the kill feed rising in front of his eyes.

Bang!

[SwordGod14 --> a13#5]

After a brief moment, the next fight broke out.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Just listening to the gunshots, one could tell that it was not Seo-jun. It was probably his teammate firing in panic as a threat.

A sense of guilt toward his teammates welled up in him.

The sound of the wild, random shooting died down. The tight tension of the battle unfolding on the floor below could be felt all the way up here.

Since he was in a knocked-unconscious state, there was nothing he could do.

Bang!

Afterward, a single gunshot resounded inside the building.

And just as expected, the kill feed...

The kill feed popped up.

[SwordGod14 --> Jjajangman]

‘He intended for this from the very beginning!’

Since things would become difficult if he, an A-grade, died, his teammates must have radioed and come to help immediately.

He had believed so. And Seo-jun had believed so too.

Step.

Step.

Step.

Seo-jun came back up the stairs he had descended.

Unhesitatingly, yet with relaxed and smooth movements, he aimed his gun at him and immediately pulled the trigger.

“I am back.”

Bang!

At that moment, Dokkaebi's chat window was like this.

-WTF lol

-That was straight out of a noir film

-Ah lol. His team all died because of this guy and he died too, so I'm heading over to the other channel to watch

-Are you guys abandoning Dokkaebi?

-Abandon him!

***

[SwordGod14 --> Dokkaebi]

“I easily dealt with the first team.”

Seo-jun left behind Dokkaebi's corpse, who was now truly dead, and went down the building.

“I was lucky.”

-They're all headshots, that's insane lmfao

-The epitome of one shot, one kill

-There's nothing this guy can't use

-I was just in Dokkaebi's chat, what on earth just happened?

“I just shot them in the head because they were visible, that is all.”

That was truly all there was to it. Once he became aware of the enemy's presence through sound, he would prepare in advance and then shoot when they came into view.

There were not many people who could perform this action faster than Seo-jun.

However, two strokes of luck had played a part here.

First, perhaps because they had rushed immediately to rescue Dokkaebi, the three members of the enemy squad had entered one by one.

Had they come together, Seo-jun, who would die if hit even once, would have had to engage in a troublesome fight.

Second was the structure of the battle, where Seo-jun had taken up a position first and the opponents were trying to break through his defenses.

Had he tried to break through opponents who had already secured their positions, he would not have been able to end the fight so easily.

An opponent who had positioned themselves beforehand would be able to aim and fire before Seo-jun.

“In that sense, it feels a bit lacking.”

There were two squads that had landed at the camping spot. Since the fact that Seo-jun had eliminated one team must have been fully displayed in the kill feed, the other team was bound to have secured their positions and be on high alert.

Seo-jun's current goal was the Lu Bu meta, but if things went that way, it would be extremely troublesome.

Therefore, Seo-jun was feeling a sense of regret.

Just then.

An item in the corner of the building caught Seo-jun's eye.

“This?”

Seo-jun instinctively shot at the item.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not even a single scratch was made.

“Guys. What is this?”

Could its durability really be infinite?

Seo-jun bent down and picked up the item.

-We're screwed. The strongest weapon on earth has entered the streamer's hands

-Lmao look at him immediately testing if it deflects bullets. Nobody told him, but his intuition is insane hahahahahaha

-You have to be at least that good to be a Weapon Master hahahahahaha

-If you hit someone on the head with that, they're knocked out instantly lol

The item in Seo-jun's hand was.

a frying pan.
