I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 40

Transcendent Hunter’s Streaming -40-

040.

About a minute after turning on the broadcast, Ido-hyuk’s viewer count exceeded a thousand.

[Current viewers: 1,632]

Even if there were this many viewers, only about one-tenth of them would actively chat.

Typically, the number of active chatters would be around 50 to 100 at most.

But Ido-hyuk’s broadcast was different now.

-??

-?

-?

-That’s you?

-?

-???

-?

-Who is that?

The chat window filled up and emptied with new chats every second.

Of course, the most prominent chat was the question mark.

Numerous ‘?’s had taken over the chat window.

“···Uh, hold on a moment.”

Lee Dohyuk was inevitably flustered.

What did I say wrong?

With that thought, he rewatched the video.

‘Hmm, is it that… and RamenSlurper or something.’

But even upon rewatching, his thoughts were correct.

The [Hmm, is it that…] in the video was undoubtedly his account, and the [RamenSlurper…Winner] who seemed to be the host of the broadcast was indeed the person he met yesterday.

It was a nickname so long that he remembered it vividly.

“Can you have duplicate nicknames in Ultimate Fighter?”

-Nope.

-Not allowed;;

When he asked about duplicate nicknames just in case, it turned out it wasn’t possible.

“Well then, that’s me.”

People calling him ‘HmmChair’ clearly indicated his Ultimate Fighter account.

“So, you were the one broadcasting. You seemed to be quite good at it.”

A formidable opponent that had a taste of challenge.

It was a compliment filled with sincerity.

If you only looked at the HP, it might seem like he had been winning one-sidedly, but there were no shortages of threatening moments.

Still being a novice in the game of Ultimate Fighter, there were many unexpected attacks.

“Just when it was already a bit tricky… huh? Why are you like this?”

Lee Dohyuk, looking at the chat window, was once again taken aback.

As soon as his words ended, the speed at which the chat was going up, already fast, now skyrocketed.

Donations poured in as well.

Ding-

Ding-

Ding-

[‘Argen’ has donated 10,000 won.]

-hahahaha, you seemed to be quite good at it for some reason.

[‘GodlyWriterSunwoo’ has donated 5,000 won.]

-hahahaha, you’re so talented, it seems to come naturally.

[‘GrandHmmChair’ has donated 5,000 won.]

-Anatol? Oh, that kid who was quite good? hahahaha

-Hey, this guy hahahaha

-Damn hahahaha

-Watching Anatol’s broadcast hahahaha

-Watching Anatol, huh?

– Aren’t you watching?

– Bullsh*t, seriously.

As Ido Hyeok, he had no idea what was going on or why.

Thunk-

“Everyone, hold on for a moment. Please calm down···”

Did I say something wrong?

With that thought in mind, Ido Hyeok paused the video he was playing.

[-Cough!]

However, at that exact moment of pause, his character, Ho-ken, was using the Hongyeomgak to strike Anatol with a counterattack.

Anatol’s body, bent like the letter “ㅇ,” dominated the screen dramatically.

– You’re even preserving that?

– LOL Anatol’s posture, check it out.

– Anatol’s waist twisted like a bow···?

– That move was pretty cool, yeah.

– But isn’t that a Novojeong move?

That coincidental moment once again sparked the viewers’ chat.

Already, there had been a lot of discussion in the Elfah community about that scene.

[Why did Anatol just take that hit without dodging? Couldn’t he have avoided it?]

[That move seems a bit off, is Hongyeomgak bugged?]

[Anatol’s face reveal! He couldn’t dodge the opponent’s Hongyeomgak Novojeong!]

[For real? Hongyeomgak Novojeong is seriously OP, facing it head-on?;;]

[Who was that pro gamer who handled Ho-ken so well in the previous pro league?]

The talk stirred around why Anatol couldn’t respond properly to the Hongyeomgak of [Heumgeujeongdungga].

Anatol’s statement that it was a skill triggered by Novojeong served as the answer.

Therefore, viewers couldn’t help but have one question arising from this.

Hongyeomgak is one of the skills that is extremely difficult to activate without any adjustments due to its mechanism.

Hence, in various related communities, it was naturally assumed that [Heumgeujeongdungga] was a seasoned gamer who handled Ho-ken at a master level.

But clearly···

Didn’t Ido Hyeok mention in yesterday’s broadcast that he was on his third day of playing Ultimate Fighter 3?

Ding-

[“Itojunji” has sponsored 10,000 won.]

– Wait, didn’t you say you were on your third day of Elfah??

– Right, LOL, you definitely said you recently purchased Elfah.

-?

– Is this for real? Provide proof.

– Third day and using Novojeong Hongyeomgak? Wow.

– Does that make sense? Explain.

– Explain.

– It.

– Explain.

“Is it the 4th day now since a day has passed, not the 3rd day? Anyway, it’s true that it hasn’t been long since we started.”

The chat room was in chaos.

I’m not sure what they want me to explain, but showing my play history should suffice for now.

It was clear that touching the game play history was impossible last time.

Ido-hyuk displayed his play history on the screen and spoke.

=Play History=

[Ultimate Fighter FD / Play Time: 16.8 hours]

“Looking at this, I haven’t played much. I felt like I was playing a lot lately.”

It was the 4th day, but the play time wasn’t that long.

Including regular games and ranked matches, Ido-hyuk had played about thirty matches.

His time per match was incredibly short in terms of playing style.

Moreover, most of the time was spent practicing in training mode.

Considering the time spent playing It Kills Two Na Valkhalla during the broadcast, most of the remaining time was allocated to that, but the absolute time was inevitably limited.

…Of course, that was Ido-hyuk’s perspective.

The viewers had a different opinion.

-?

-??

-?

Once again, countless question marks flooded the chat room.

16.8 hours…?

Did I see that correctly?

So, while others were just starting to master one champ properly and practicing while clearing story mode, this streamer was busy defeating Anatol?

Those were the doubts hidden in those question marks.

From Noble mtl dot com

-Wtf lolololol unbelievable

-Is this real? Not some hoax?

-How can 17 hours be real lol this guy just started Full Dive a week ago

-Wtf seriously?

-BS

-Really? For real; there are so many new viewers coming in

Not to mention the unbelievable words constantly appearing in the chat.

Up to 17 hours… Well, one could try to understand it to some extent.

It’s not impossible that a top-tier gamer from another game could quickly adapt to Ultimate Fighter and improve their skills.

Of course, that would be a different story from surpassing Anatol beyond all odds…

Anyway, even if it’s a 0.1% chance, it’s not impossible.

But if the person was a complete beginner at Full Dive?

A novice in a combat game filled with dirty tricks, defeating the dirtiest of them all?

That’s just not possible.

For those who originally watched Ido-hyuk’s broadcast, rather than believing even if they tried, it was impossible to believe from the perspective of new viewers who had come after hearing the news that a streamer had declared themselves as [Hmm That Guy].

-It just sounds like nonsense

-Isn’t it impersonation?

– hahahaha, this jerk totally fell for the bait.

– He’s going all out to provoke us, knowing he’ll get caught once he crosses the line.

As a result, when a few of these chats appeared.

Ddu ddu-du dududu- dduddu- dudududu-

A BGM played.

A background music that any Ultimate Fighter user would recognize.

It was the original BGM that had been set as the default since the arcade game era when Ultimate Fighter was first released.

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you.”

Without waiting for the chat reactions, Lee Dohyuk simply launched the game.

[Ultimate Fighter FD!]

Displayed along with the game logo.

Followed by the player information.

[Hm?]

[28 Wins 0 Losses]

[Rank: Transcendental]

– Seriously?

– How did he win?

– I believed in him!! (Actually, we had our doubts too hahahaha)

– It’s been 17 hours, did Anatol really win?

– His rank is skyrocketing, wow.

The chat window was a mix of astonishment and those who knew the old Lee Dohyuk’s ‘I knew he could do it’ reactions.

In the midst of this, a donation notification popped up.

[‘Ito Junji’ has donated 30,000 won.]

– Oh yeah, that’s true~ Hyung won against Anatol just 17 hours into the game

– Oh, it’s Hyung~

– hahahaha, I can’t even believe my own eyes

– Is that a god?! Is that a god?!

Due to the nature of Full Dive, where using someone else’s account is impossible, it was a definite fact that ‘Hm?’ was actually Lee Dohyuk.

Even though they were witnessing it firsthand, the fact that a newbie in Full Dive, just a week into the game and 17 hours in, had caused a stir in the entire game community by defeating Anatol was an undeniable truth.

“Alright. Have you all confirmed it?”

With that, Lee Dohyuk completed the account verification.

Ping-

However, the chat went wild at Lee Dohyuk’s next action.

[Would you like to exit the game?]

[Yes / No]

-?

– What’s happening?

– Leader, what’s going on!!

– Why?

– Abandoning the game? Abandoning the game?

– Queue it up!

Having proven to be the [Hmm, that’s right], it was time to quickly resume the rank match instead of trying to end the game here.

It was natural for viewers to react this way.

Of course, there were reasons for Yido-hyuk as well.

“Uh… Have you come to watch Valhalla?”

Wasn’t the chat window just flooded with messages like ‘So when’s Valhalla coming?’ ‘When are you getting Twin Axes?’ just a moment ago?

So, having completed the verification, it was time to showcase Valhalla gameplay.

Moreover, he had been preparing for it until just before the start of the broadcast today, so as Yido-hyuk, he wanted to quickly turn on Valhalla and show it off.

“Besides, I’ve been holding back a bit on progressing due to the criticisms. You saw me take down Veowolf, right? I’ve finished all the weapon farming there and accepted quests. What kind of quest? It’s a very important one, protecting the heir of the Musia Kingdom from assassination…”

Yido-hyuk proudly smiled and spoke like that.

But his words didn’t continue till the end.

[‘madmokey’ has donated 500,000 won.]

“Could you please stop donating…?”

“…”

The entrance of a big hand.

A whopping 500,000 won donation.

And it wasn’t a donation tied to any mission, just a pure donation.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

[‘dreamwin1122’ has donated 30,000 won.]

-hahahaha~

[‘Edgar Allen’ has donated 10,000 won.]

-Let’s go for ranked games.

Donation messages pouring in like a flood.

Missions were also piling up.

[‘Center’ has requested a 30,000 won mission.]

-If you win the next match, let’s go.

[‘Eclipse’ has requested a 100,000 won mission.]

-Fill 30 wins and 0 losses with 2 consecutive wins: success / If failed, no sleep for 24 hours.

[‘LunaShort People’ has requested a 1,000,000 won mission.]

-Get 1st place in Ultimate Fighter ranking within 24 hours.

“3.. 10.. Added up… Huh? 1 million won?”

Scanning through the donations and mission ceremonies quickly, Yido-hyuk paused for a moment before speaking.

“…Come to think of it, it’s not a particularly important quest. Oh, but why do I feel like playing ranked games so much today? Should I queue up?”

Saying that, he casually pressed ‘Yes’ and immediately jumped into the rank match.

– Hmm, what’s with the sudden stance change, lol.

– It’s seriously hilarious that someone with skills like his is a money beggar.

“Excuse me? What are you saying? It’s not because of the mission, but I’m following public opinion. Don’t misinterpret.”

It’s true.

Money doesn’t drive him.

‘How much do I need to repay this month… When combined with the capsules Jian gave me…’

It’s the debt that moves him.

Anyway.

“But, are there any missions like that? Additional money for a perfect victory or something…”

– Huh?

– You said you’re not doing this just because of a mission.

“Oh, right.”

– Oh right, got it lololol

– Lolololololololololol

– Ok, I’m putting 50,000 won on a perfect victory. Limited time only.

Lee Dohyeok, who takes on additional missions using every opportunity.

Boom!

[Match complete!]

Fortunately, the wait wasn’t long.

“You’re the opponent? Then… I’ll go.”

**

“Me? It’s not me.”

Similar perspectives.

Another Tworke broadcast.

– Really?

– They were almost certain it was you lololol Anatol’s skills are worth noting, plus Ho-ken’s expertise.

– There’s nothing besides Beyond lol

– Yondu’s acting is too obvious

Another streamer was being suspected of being [Heumgeujeongdungga].

“No. It’s not acting, it’s really not me. If it were me, why would I badmouth myself? I’d go live and stir up some controversy.”

– Lololololol streamers these days

– Isn’t it because of the contract violation with the team? You didn’t stream during the Iron Fist tournament

– Oh, that makes sense

“No streaming during tournament preparation is natural, though.”

To be precise, although he does stream, his true identity is not that of a streamer.

He is a pro gamer.

Beyond, the former Ultimate Fighter pro gamer and the current Iron Fist pro gamer.

“I’m not just putting anything on the line. Everything. Everything. If I fail, I’ll give away 100 chickens.”

– Oh

– Let’s line up first

– Boneless?

– Bones are taboo lol

– The way he’s talking, is he really not it? This guy is seriously suspicious lol

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ

Among the strong candidates suspected as [HmGeuJeongDunGa] in various game communities.

However, Beyond continued to deny such speculations.

And then, at that moment.

[“DeadFacePayaRalManJigi” has sponsored 1,000 won.]

– Breaking news!!! HmJwa’s identity revealed!! Not a former pro but a Twitch streamer!!

– For real?

– Can you believe it?

-???????

-Not a former pro? Then, not an AP pro?

-Nope, just a real streamer

-It’s official, yeah, even got verified

A magpie flew in from somewhere.

Seeing that, Beyond spoke up.

“See? What did I say. It’s not me.”

‘Not a former pro? My guess was right.’

If that’s true, his thoughts were even more certain.

Upon hearing that [HmGeuJeongDunGa] is not a former pro, it didn’t trigger any new thoughts for Beyond.

It was a doubt he had from the beginning.

‘He’s good, but…’

It seemed unbelievable to fall behind to that extent.

Rising to the top of the Hot Clip with the frozen [Hoken VS Hoken Mirror Match] video, which abruptly cuts off at the climax, a 30-second clip.

And with no other replays available, a proper analysis couldn’t be done.

‘Anatol hyung seemed to make too many mistakes.’

That was the impression from briefly watching the live broadcast.

During the Lee’s era, hearing sounds of iron shields + angle gauges + protractors in Alpa’s textbook, Anatol, on the other hand, showed mistakes in measuring distances or dodging attacks.

“But can I say something honestly?”

-What is it?

-Oh, go on

-A declaration?

“Hm GeuJeongDunGa… I rather think that person is Hm… GeuJeongDun? Why is everyone making such a fuss about it?”

-hahahaha

-Hm GeuJeongDunGa… Hm GeuJeongDunGa…?

-Hmception

-Beyond: Hm GeuJeongDunGa, Hm GeuJeongDunGa

-Is that a joke?

“No, really. Isn’t it just Anatol hyung being out of form? He just turned on Alpa after a year. It must’ve felt awkward after so long. Not even a former pro, right? You all know. An amateur is an amateur, and a pro is a pro.”

‘So, they probably deleted the replay right away. Even I would feel embarrassed.’

No matter how long it had been since Alpa, being so easily fooled was embarrassing.

“Me? Oh, come on. Am I going to lose when I play Alpa sneakily?”

At that time.

“Even if the opponent is a master, it’s not a guarantee that I’ll win, but the chances are high. At least, even when losing, it won’t be so one-sided… huh?”

Beyond was taken aback as he continued speaking.

[Match complete!]

They say even a tiger will respond when spoken to.

[Hmm, intriguing] VS [Beyond]

-Oh

-hahahaha, perfect timing

-Heading to the mirror match?

Beyond found himself facing [Hmm, intriguing], the topic of their communication.
