I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 48

The World Didn’t Collapse After Going Back -48-

048.

“Oppa, are you a fool?”

The next day, Jian’s sudden criticism burst out.

“······”

However, Ido Hyuk couldn’t come up with a proper rebuttal to such unexpected criticism.

“Just say you’ll focus on Part 1 and play ALPA as Part 2. Or you can divide the days.”

Upon Jian’s advice to switch the main game to Ultimate Fighter and focus solely on that for a while, Ido Hyuk was left speechless.

After hearing those words, he felt like a fool even in his own eyes.

‘Come to think of it… She’s right, isn’t she?’

As Jian suggested, there was no reason to focus on just one game and abandon the others.

Of course, he didn’t plan on completely giving up on ALPA from the start. It was just that for a while, he would make Ultimate Fighter the main game to concentrate on, with the intention of returning to ALPA later.

There was never a thought of completely abandoning ALPA.

But even if Ido Hyuk thought that way, it was uncertain how viewers watching the broadcast would perceive it.

From the perspective of loyal ALPA fans who had been watching since day one, Ido Hyuk’s behavior might be seen as potentially giving up on ALPA.

It could be perceived as breaking the trust with the viewers.

“Maybe Ms. Blyon asked about what game you would focus on as the main, so you answered that way… Anyway, I think dividing into Part 1 and Part 2 would be good? Since ALPA is popular now, it’s best to mainly play ALPA during prime time.”

However, if he followed Jian’s advice, there was no need to worry about such things anymore.

It was a very neat solution indeed.

He felt like such a fool for not thinking of it yesterday.

‘Well, this might make the broadcast longer, but…’

That too was not a big issue.

Wasn’t Ido Hyuk the one who used to stay up for days on end hunting alien species with unwavering determination?

Of course, his outstanding stamina and willpower, not to mention the assistance of mana, a superhuman power, played a part in that, but the battles now were in a virtual reality full-dive.

Although it was remarkably similar to reality, even the fatigue didn’t quite match.

Even with the broadcast time extended by six hours, he didn’t feel exhausted.

‘As Jian said, for a while, I’ll divide the time and play two games simultaneously.’

That was Ido Hyuk’s conclusion.

Strike while the iron is hot.

He immediately put that thought into action.

[Surprise Afternoon Broadcast with ALPA / Ido Hyuk(ON)]

“···So today, I turned on the broadcast earlier than usual.”

Ido Hyuk spoke, facing the camera.

“For a while, I plan to focus on ALPA for Part 1, and for Part 2, I’ll play ULPA… I mentioned yesterday that I would come to claim the top spot in ULPA by 8 o’clock today before the broadcast ends. Since I can’t turn the tables in just one day, I decided to start the broadcast a bit earlier today to begin Part 1.”

The explanation of why he started the broadcast early today and what content he would cover was concluded.

-??

-Wow, that’s awesome.

-Insane mindset

Comments in the chat expressing surprise at Ido Hyuk’s unexpected broadcast.

-What’s going on?

– Humidifier ON

– Why did you turn it on now??

– Sigh!

– Oh, what’s this sudden broadcast

However, since it was not the scheduled time, viewers kept gathering periodically, all saying similar things every time someone new joined.

It wasn’t an easy task to keep giving the same explanation to the new viewers who kept coming in when it wasn’t the broadcasting time.

Tak, tada-

“Yes. Hello. The reason for coming early today is indicated at the bottom here.”

Lee Dohyuk had written a message at the bottom of the broadcast screen saying, ‘Turned it on early to prepare! The fun starts from the regular broadcasting time.’

-(Sword) Disciple Lee Dohyuk: Master. Should I also display it as a chatroom notice?

-Lee Dohyuk: Yes. I would appreciate it if you could do that.

After even asking the chatroom admin to set it as a notice in the chatroom.

“Well, then let’s start today’s fun.”

-What’s this sweet rice cake?

-I’m the winner who twerked from 2 PM

-For more fun!!!

Lee Dohyuk quickly dove into the game.

“I turned it on early today, but not many have come by.”

[Current viewers: 432]

The viewers weren’t increasing as fast as yesterday.

But that was only temporary.

Dudung-

?Rise of Valhalla?

Heeey-!

As the Valhalla screen lit up, accompanied by its grand background music and the sound of horse hooves,

[Current viewers: 4,127]

Suddenly, the number of viewers had multiplied tenfold, reaching four digits.

**

“..Oh. I just turned on Valhalla, but you all came in so many in the meantime.”

Lee Dohyuk exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the viewer count.

– It seems like all the Valhallans who were hiding came together lol

– Turn on the El Pa!

– Seriously, they all rushed in at the sound of the humidifier

– *panting*

– The ax dad never dies!

The chatroom was lively, welcoming his Valhalla play.

There were occasional chats like ‘Is this game fun?’, ‘I’ll come back later to watch El Pa again’, ‘Oh, it’s not El Pa’ but the main reaction was the viewers looking forward to Lee Dohyuk’s Valhalla play.

“Definitely, if I had only focused on El Pa, it could have been a disaster.”

It was just lacking in the buzz and the ability to attract a fluctuating audience compared to Ultimate Fighter.

Among those who came to watch his broadcast, many were looking for Vallah.

Moreover, Ido-hyuk was still a novice streamer, not even on his 7th day of broadcasting, including co-broadcasting.

The current viewers were not his regular audience but a transient group who came to see the rookie sensation that was causing a stir day after day, known as the “floating” viewers. In other words, Ido-hyuk’s current task was to turn those transient viewers into his regular audience.

To achieve that, he needed to captivate not only fans of fighting games like Ultimate Fighter but also fans of games like Vallah.

Whooooo-

Anyway.

The scenery visible upon logging into Vallah was a tranquil field landscape.

The time was approaching late night.

The sight of the setting sun in the distance was creating a magnificent view.

Viewers asked about the different background compared to the last Vallah play.

-So, are we here again?

-It feels like you rushed a bit last time.

-Ohh

“Yes, that’s right. After defeating Veowolf, I’ve done some weapon farming and received additional quests. This quest is already quite challenging… It’s the main quest, right?”

Saying so, Ido-hyuk opened the quest window.

?Rightful Heir of the Kingdom?

?Due to a massive Viking attack, King Cheolwulf I of Mercia was forced to abdicate. Rafrik, the second in line to the throne of Mercia and a noble of Wess*x, is now eyeing the next royal seat. If this continues, Mercia may once again become a vassal of Wess*x. To prevent Mercia’s downfall, the rightful heir must ascend to the throne.?

?Current Objective: Ensure Aeselred’s survival from assassination?

-Oh, you’re on the survival route.

-The guys coming to assassinate are really annoying.

-Yeah, this is a tough difficulty level.

-Just kill Aeselred and pledge allegiance to Wess*x, easy peasy lol

“…Yes?”

Ido-hyuk paused momentarily, looking at the reactions in the chat window.

With a face that seemed to have heard something unbelievable, he spoke up.

“How could you have such cruel thoughts…? Asking for help and suggesting to kill them instead. Your thinking is truly twisted.”

-?

-???

-hahahaha lol

The chat window reacted to Ido-hyuk’s words.

-Oh my; how many bandits did you kill in the last Vallah session?

-Info) In Vallah community, Ido-hyuk is known as the Axe Murderer

-hahahahaha

Ido-hyuk’s lips curved slightly as he enjoyed the banter.

It was a deliberate comment on his part.

“Oh well, if that’s how it seems.”

-LOL

-He’s a dictator, for real.

-Ahahahaha, just be grateful he turns on Vallah for us.

In fact, even though his name was I Dohyuk, he didn’t host the broadcast without any thought.

During the last broadcast, due to the unexpected popularity of the account he had played with criticism, [Hmm, who’s this] account, they had to change the broadcast topic in real-time. If not for that, a well-planned Valhalla broadcast as he intended would have proceeded.

After the recent Valhalla play, progressing through a new quest with criticism up to the parts viewers would enjoy could also be seen as such an event.

Moreover, what I Dohyuk had prepared didn’t end here.

“Well then, let’s get started.”

Tap-

Heeheehee!

I Dohyuk began spouting out lines he had farmed in advance for transportation.

At a quick pace, he started running.

Just a few seconds passed like that.

Boom!

Accompanied by that sound, text appeared.

[Danger]

[This is the territory of the Wesix Kingdom]

It was an advisory message written in red letters as if saying trouble would arise if ignored. Furthermore, the content it contained was completely different from the Survival Quest I Dohyuk was currently pursuing, known as the Heir of the Kingdom.

-???

-What’s going on?

-If you enter Wesix territory, Laphric will send assassins. Get out quickly.

-hahahaha frontal assault, huh? hahahaha

It was natural for chaos to erupt in the chat window.

Instead of preparing for an assassination, like someone claiming to be pursuing the Survival Quest, attempting to enter Wesix where Count Laphric, the origin of assassins, resided.

Perhaps he had forgotten where the previous save point was during the game loading process.

Plop-

However, without a hint of change in his expression, I Dohyuk closed the red text box.

As he continued without stopping the lines he was spouting, he asked as if wondering why he was doing so.

“Huh? I’m going to progress with the quest. Why do you ask?”

-What?

-What?

-Isn’t it a reverse progression?

-????

-Uh.. wait..

Just as numerous hooks were taking over the chat window at that moment.

I Dohyuk spoke.

“Save Aeselred from the assassination. In other words, someone is sending assassins. In that case…”

Ding-

[‘TteTte’ has made a donation of 10,000 won.]

-Wow;; Wait, isn’t it about the Count?

Just then, a donation notification aiding his explanation.

I Dohyuk’s words continued.

“···Instead of catching the assassin, wouldn’t it be better to catch the person sending the assassin? Ah, it’s Lord Lafrik, right. Fortunately, in the quest window, it kindly states that Lord Lafrik is the next successor.”

Empowered by the support notifications, Lee Dohyuk, who had discovered (?) the strategy for surviving the Aesered Quest, shared it with the viewers.

Then, while checking the equipment I was carrying, I pointed into the distance.

“I can see a castle over there. Lord Lafrik must be there, right? Shall we try to protect the poor Aesered from assassination for once? By the way, Aesered is waiting in a nearby village with Yorund.”

– Lolololol

– Seriously, it’s the Aesered Survival Quest, why can’t we see Aeseryn?

– The miraculous quest strategy lololol

– Ah lololol

Ding-

[“DoubleAxeMurderer” has donated 1,000 won.]

– I said it last time lololol this streamer’s mindset is completely different from ours

Ding-

[“HmmDarkGuy” has donated 10,000 won.]

– Why is this person nicknamed Double Axe Murderer? Isn’t he a Hook Collector? (I dunno, fr?)

Ding-

[“MiracleBoy” has donated 30,000 won.]

– Someone asked if it’s fun to watch without Dohyuk-sensei talking, right? Sensei Dohyuk, I think this is a pretty clear answer, right?

Amidst the countless donations,

“Alright! Let’s head back before the tea gets cold!”

Dohyuk spoke even faster.

**

– Can this person handle double axes well?

– Yeah, at a crazy level

– Have you seen Wolfgang’s stuff?

– Lolololol seriously, he said to prevent assassination, but he came to assassinate

– Assassination? Have you never watched Dohyuk-sensei’s broadcast before?

– For real lolol Dohyuk-sensei never does assassinations in advance

“···Oh.”

Dohyuk, sensing the mood in the chat, showed a faint smile.

Many viewers had already grasped him to this extent.

Swish-

Some viewers’ predictions were correct.

He hadn’t come to assassinate Lord Lafrik.

Or, in a way, could this also be considered an assassination?

Swish-!

A swiftly flying single axe.

The setting of “Rise of Valhalla” is the late 8th century.

Naturally, the nights in this era were exceptionally dark.

*Cough!*

A dark figure flowing through that darkness.

He was a soldier patrolling the castle.

-Oh

-You’re quite good at this.

-You’re good at throwing too.

-hahahaha, shouldn’t be surprised by this level.

The chat was amazed by the accurate axe throwing.

It seemed like a considerable number of the viewers who had found his broadcast were casual viewers.

For those who had been watching his broadcast from the beginning, this level of skill was not surprising.

Huh-?!

At that moment, a surprised voice was heard.

The soldier patrolling nearby had discovered the body of a dead soldier.

-Whoa

-Oh, he fell.

-It’s been exposed;;

-hahahahaha

-The chat is filled with newbie vibes~

-No way..?

But this, too, was as planned by Ido Hyeok.

“Let’s start by calling the enemies over.”

Since they were going to catch them all anyway, wouldn’t it be better to gather them in one place?

And unlike a 1 vs. 1 Ultimate Fighter, Balhalla could demonstrate its advantage in a battle against multiple opponents.

‘The talk about the Ultimate Fighter keeps coming up.’

Despite being written as a notice at the bottom of the screen, occasional chats like ‘Isn’t this person an Ultimate Fighter streamer?’ or ‘Oh, he plays games other than fighting games’ continued to pop up.

Of course, it was an inevitable chat.

When juggling two games, there would inevitably be viewers who only wanted one side.

However, in such a situation, Ido Hyeok was not entirely powerless.

“Well then. Everyone···?”

Enemies! Enemies!

Enemy attack!

Emergency!

Such cries were heard in abundance.

Soldiers were rushing towards him with torches.

Thwack!

Seeing that, Ido Hyeok slammed the ground forcefully.

“Today, there may be many who came to see the Ultimate Fighter.”

Shing-

He threw the remaining axe in his hand.

Now he was left with no weapon.

Only the enemy’s numbers mattered.

“Let’s try the Hokken mode instead of the Wheelbarrow mode.”

-Yes?

-Where did he come from all of a sudden?

Viewers were puzzled by the sudden remark from Lee Dohyuk.

And right at that moment.

Thud!

Lee Dohyuk leaped forward.

His feet did not emit flames.

But for a skilled user like him, it was an unsurprising technique.

Kwang!

Hongyeomgak.

It struck precisely at the first soldier.

-?

-WTH

-What’s going on??
