Returning to the World Without Ruin -45-
045.
Ring-
A donation rang out.
[“Elf Why Gun” has donated 1,000 won.]
-Tsuki, a famous fighter in Japan. He is now called Anatol of Japan. Originally known for six runner-up titles, he eventually succeeded in becoming a champion at the end of his career, winning two more world championships. Since then, he has shown outstanding skills not only in Ultimate Fighter but also in Iron Fist, reaching the top level in Asia. The character he mainly uses in Elf Why Gun is······
Ping-
However, before all the content could be read, Ido Hyuk ended the donation notification.
“A thousand-won punch-.”
He said with a somewhat serious expression.
-Oh LOL
-Can’t stand long texts
-Did Donechang write this alone? If you’re going to write more than three lines, pay 5,000 won
-Does Donehyuk Sensei look like a money grubber?
“Oh, thank you for the donation, Elf Why Gun.”
Of course, he didn’t forget to thank them.
Although Ido Hyuk is pushing a slightly sincere money-grubbing image as part of his broadcast concept, explanations like the thousand-won punch that help with the broadcast are always welcome.
In fact, even when playing Hit Kills Two or playing Valhalla, he had received help from such explanatory donations several times.
The reason he stopped this donation was different this time.
“I’ll find out who the opponent is after the game.”
-Answer after the game, no questions
-We’ll listen to the explanation after the defeat
-LOL If you know who you’re up against, you can’t lose properly
The sponsorship message contained not only the opponent’s main character but also their playing style.
He wanted to face them without such information, for once.
It wasn’t like this even during my hunter days.
Instead, clashes with new extraterrestrial species were usually avoided as much as possible, with a focus on gathering sufficient information and completing the analysis before engaging in combat.
Survival was the goal, not victory, which was only natural.
But I didn’t want to approach it like a game meant for enjoyment, as I do now.
“Interpretation function… is this it? Just a moment.”
Itohyuk, adjusting the settings based on viewers’ advice about the interpretation function.
After a few adjustments, the opponent’s words, which had just sounded like Japanese, began to be interpreted into Korean.
“Wow! Kita! 43 wins 0 losses? As formidable as they say! Huh? So, am I the first to defeat this mysterious master?”
– Evande tension ?????
– Tsuki, you’re still laughing. Haven’t you heard the rumors about Itohyuk-sensei yet?
– I’m curious about the Japanese guys’ reactions later.
– Tsuki just turned on the broadcast ???
A fairly high-tension opponent.
From the way they spoke, it seemed they were confident in their victory as well.
‘That’s how skilled they are.’
Well, considering the sponsorships earlier, they were said to have won the world championship.
Although not a perfect match, in hunter terms, they must have been at least a rank 9 hero.
For someone who had reached such a position, regardless of the field, there was no way they didn’t have confidence in themselves.
It was necessary.
Perhaps this Tsuki person, even if the opponent they were facing was not a mysterious master like themselves but Anatol in his prime, would have shown confidence equal to theirs.
As if to prove Itohyuk’s thoughts,
Swish-
Clang-!
Before Itohyuk could even make a selection, the opponent picked their character.
– Kya
– Tsuki goes with Wolfgang, right?
– Enter Wolfsin
[Preparation complete]
Wolfgang, a character holding two pistols.
Judging by the chat reactions, it seemed Tsuki was most skilled with this character.
Itohyuk’s choice was supposed to be Hoken…
“Come to think of it, Sensei, are you not using a different character?”
However, at that moment, a chat caught their eye.
Initially, Itohyuk used not only Hoken but also other characters, but at some point, he stuck with Hoken only.
There wasn’t any particular reason for it.
“Well, there’s only this skin available.”
It was simply because the skin that came out of the reward chest was for Hoken.
While that wasn’t the sole reason for exclusively picking Hoken so far, it was the most significant one.
He started using it after getting the skin, and as it was specialized in close combat, with basic physical specs superior to other characters, he continued to choose it.
– Eukkkkk
– How much for a skin?
– Info) The reason this streamer bought Ultimate Fighter instead of Iron Fist is because it’s much cheaper.
– Basically asking for donations, right?
– Y-yes, I’ll do it!
Ding-
Ding-
Support flooding in at the mention by Ido-hyuk.
Of course, he didn’t intend for this to happen.
But since he received it, he might as well be grateful instead of staying silent.
“Then, shall we try a different character?”
Ido-hyuk said that and went back to the character selection screen.
As a novice broadcaster, he didn’t expect much of a reaction to his donations yet, so all he could show was this.
– Oh
– Gg
– Wow, you know how to handle different characters too?
Of course, Ido-hyuk’s actions like that were enough to stir up viewers more than any reaction.
Those who had been watching Hoken all along.
It wasn’t like they were tired of Ido-hyuk, who kept showing all kinds of crazy plays with just one character, but new things were always welcome.
– You handle Steve and Biyoung really well.
– When you first played with Geomdun Girl, you used something different.
– Oh, Ido-sensei, are you good at sword fighting?
– It’s not just one type of sword hahahaha.
– You seem like a Vahalla player, don’t you play Vahalla?
The chat was filled with various recommendations.
Starting from characters Ido-hyuk had played before, to characters viewers wanted to see.
Mostly, physically strong characters known for hand-to-hand combat were mentioned.
– How about trying Yamazaki? I’ll give you a mission.
– Yamabungi is a bit…
– Just in case. If it’s Ido-sensei, you might handle ‘that science’ well too…?
– How would this guy fare in front of tough characters?
Occasionally, characters treated like losers among users, starting with Yamazaki, were also recommended.
At this rate, it seemed like the names of all the characters in Ultimate Fighter would be mentioned at least once.
Ido-hyuk, scanning the chat, shook his head.
“Thank you for the recommendations, but I’ve already decided what to play.”
In fact, as soon as he felt like he should try something other than Hoken, he had already made up his mind on what to do.
Out of all the characters Ido-hyuk had used in Ultimate Fighter so far, apart from Hoken, there were a total of six types.
Since he had only played a game or two with each, there wasn’t much difference in proficiency.
For Ido-hyuk, who played the game without relying on adjustments, mastery of characters wasn’t something he paid much attention to.
If you had to be precise, it was just about how familiar he was with the slight variations in height, reach, and physical abilities depending on the character.
So, if possible, he preferred a male character with a height around 185cm, similar to the actual height of Lee Dohyuk.
“······”
But then, something just right caught his eye.
Swoosh- Swoosh-
Lee Dohyuk diligently scrolled through the character selection screen.
As expected of an old game, there were plenty of characters for a fighting game.
And his choice was,
Whoosh-
Clang-!
Volkfang.
The character Tsuki had picked as the opponent.
-Ohhh
-hahahaha Tsuki, going against Volkfang?
-Mirror match? hahahaha, do I smell trouble?
-Whoa, have you tried Volkfang??
A question about having played Volkfang.
But the one to answer that question wasn’t Lee Dohyuk; it was the small text that appeared below when picking the character.
[Hm, should I?]
[Volkfang Proficiency: 0%]
Not even 1% proficiency.
Meaning he had never dealt with Volkfang even in practice mode.
-Gasp
-0%?
-Whoa, 0% is a bit…
-hahahaha, seems like just putting up a front
Viewers who checked the proficiency thought that Lee Dohyuk had picked Volkfang to create a twist for entertainment.
They believed he would pretend to choose Volkfang as his main against Tsuki but switch to another character.
Ding-
[Preparation complete]
Of course, Lee Dohyuk’s intention was different.
Breaking the viewers’ expectations, he finished the ready check.
Since the opponent was already prepared, the game started right away.
Ring-
[‘Expert’ has sponsored 10,000 won.]
-Wow, nice ??????
[‘hyunki7890’ has sponsored 3,000 won.]
-????? What determination???
[‘Taengyul’ has sponsored 500,000 won.]
-For real, so confident;; If you win this round, I’ll add another 500,000
Turning off the chat window on the screen, the sponsorships poured in instead.
[Ready-]
[3]
[2]
[1··· Fight-!]
“I haven’t dealt with it before… Let’s learn it once.”
Ido Hyuk looked at Kyobo··· no, Tsuki, and said.
**
“Wow. You don’t even have any proficiency at all? Oh, is it because this is a sub-account? Hmm.. But.. you chose this?”
-www
-Koitsu, www, are you kidding?
-Wolfgang to Tsuki?
-Korean-style www, not knowing English, can’t read “tsuki” written in the nickname? (laugh)
-Eekkkkk
The chat window went crazy, just like a Japanese broadcast across the sea.
Tsuki, who used to be pleased, thinking ‘Oh, they recognized me!’ until the opponent chose Wolfgang.
But now, his face showed a bewildered expression.
“Eh? You chose Wolfgang to face me?”
Wolfgang, holding two cool black pistols, is actually a gunfighter character who prefers not to shoot. In fact, in the fighting game Ultimate Fighter, if a gun had powerful firepower, there was no morale character like that.
Among other characters, there are those who use magic, spells, summoning, etc., for long-range attacks, but to use powerful long-range skills, there is a casting time required.
Direct long-range attacks can at most shoot relatively slow projectiles or summon vines to bind the opponent’s feet.
However, with a gun, isn’t it just a matter of aiming at the opponent and pulling the trigger?
Even though the physical abilities of characters in Ultimate Fighter far exceed reality, handling them ultimately falls to gamers, so dodging bullets is not an easy task for anyone.
If the gun’s damage is high, simply shooting at the opponent could win the game.
Therefore, Wolfgang’s gun was not only easy to block with a guard, but even if hit a few times, the damage was so low that HP hardly decreased.
[Why did they release this sh*tty character Wolfgang?]
[hahahaha, even more of a crap character than Yamazaki]
[Wolfgang, lol, when he starts shooting, there’s no bastard like him]
As a result, Wolfgang, who was treated as a crap character by gamers as soon as he was released, was the one who lifted this character, previously ignored by all gamers, to the surface, holding the trophy of a world championship that he had never heard of before.
By releasing such a crap character as a new character, rumors that Ultimate Fighter was in trouble were starting to circulate among gamers (of course, this was true), to the point where they were frequently mentioned among gamers.
But who was the one who took such Wolfgang and raised this character, who had never even heard of a world championship victory, to the surface?
It was Tsuki.
Tsuki, who realized faster than anyone else that Wolfgang was not a character made to shoot a gun but a character specialized for melee combat for a gun shape (GUN?).
Moreover, Wolfgang was a national character of Japan known as the Japanese secret weapon.
Due to its unique Korean appearance and character background, it is rarely used in Japan, but in Korea, it is one of the popular characters, the Korean secret weapon Gwisin Tal, Dukseok-sini, and the character opposite to them.
It was also Tsuki who created such a position for Wolfgang.
As Tsuki, known as Japan’s Anatole, is a symbolic character, research on Wolfgang in Japan is several steps ahead of Korea.
Yet, to bring out Wolfgang in front of Tsuki.
“Hey, you’re facing Tsuki, remember?”
-w
-www
-Do you want to learn from the best Volfgang artisan about Volfgang? ?
-It might have that meaning w
Viewers watching Tzuki’s broadcast naturally engaged in this kind of chat.
Mainly reactions like ‘What’s going on with this Korean, what are they thinking?’ ‘Don’t they recognize Tzuki, or is it lack of respect for Tzuki?’
“Alright. I don’t know what they’re thinking, but…”
The person in question, Tzuki, had similar thoughts.
The mysterious master who appeared on the Ultimate Fighter Korea server, [Hmmm].
He heard the news that he defeated Anatol.
Moreover, looking at the opponent’s record, it seemed like he had defeated most of the top players on the Korean server.
But when exactly was he at the top?
From Noble mtl dot com
It was known in Japan that Anatol had recently been focused only on Iron Fist.
The saying that the top players on the Korean server were of a different level than those in other countries was particularly striking!
Currently, in Ultimate Fighter, where both your server and our server have become failed servers, the top players are not comparable to those of the past.
However, Tzuki lived through the golden age of Ultimate Fighter and left a legendary mark that was close to being the best in the world at the time!
“I’m not confident.”
Therefore, Tzuki spat out the comment as if it were obvious.
A comment he had once received from Anatol in reverse.
He thought of using it later after hearing it.
“I lack confidence.”
It was a sincere statement.
A showdown among fellow Volfgangs.
Even if the opponent was Anatol, he lacked confidence in losing.
“I will show you for sure. The difference in skill.”
Saying so, Tzuki turned off the chat window to focus.
At that moment, a thought crossed his mind.
‘Why have there been so many Korean chats since earlier?’
-What are these idiots saying?
-Oh????? It looks like the chat will be interesting later
-Now, time for some snacks~
Intermittently, there were numerous ‘???’ visible, and although he knew that in Japan it meant ‘www’, Tzuki couldn’t understand why the Koreans were here laughing so much.
