{{1st Generation Anniversary Song Revealed on November 5th >> (Head) (Kill) Craaaazy Heavy Sledgehammer}}
The Moogun team wiped out an entire squad in the blink of an eye, thanks to the unbelievable performance of Staff D.
When Staff D declared her determination to take first place, the chat had been filled with mocking laughter. But now, it overflowed with exclamations of astonishment.
– Whattttttttt!!!
– Crazy LOLLLLLLLLL
– WHAAAAAAAA
– How?! How?! HOW?!
– Wow.
– Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!!
– Wahahaha LOLLLLLLLLL
– Damn it, is there anything Staff D can’t do?!
:: An anonymous sponsor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: I mean, she does great impressions, raps amazingly, is ridiculously cute, and in the Battle Coliseum, she’s skilled enough to beat a former pro… What is she, seriously?! ::
– Staff D!!
– Damn it, Staff D!!
– Found it, my dopamine supplier!
– No, seriously, what can’t she do? LOLLLLL
– Debut alreadyyyyyyyyy!!!
– So, Moogun… is it true you’re the infamous anti of a certain someone?
– Are you the one who sniped Moogun?!
Watching this unfold, Moogun thought to himself:
“Reading out that nickname consistently definitely leaves an impression on people. But didn’t they say they were here to promote the 1st Generation anniversary? Judging by the atmosphere, though, it feels more like the Staff D Showcase.”
It wouldn’t be surprising if the stream suddenly pivoted into Staff D’s debut announcement, with everyone clapping and saying, “Called it!”
Irritated for no particular reason, Moogun subtly asked Magia,
“‘1st Generation Anniversary Song Revealed on November 5th’… You know, later, right?”
But Magia was too busy rushing around like a maniac, as if possessed by a Double-Barrel Shotgun, searching for enemies.
It was clear there’d be no meaningful conversation until the game ended.
Following Magia to a new sniper spot, Moogun sighed,
“Wonhyuk, cover her. Make sure she doesn’t get killed.”
[She’s charging in so recklessly that I can’t even see a safe angle to move in!]
What, are you scared you’ll be the only one taken out if you follow her?
[She’s the one breaking down doors to charge in, but if I follow her, I feel like the guys waiting by the door are just going to shoot me instead!]
A painfully accurate analysis.
Staff D’s playstyle resembled that of a battering ram: pure forward momentum.
Typically, players trapped in smoke try to retreat. But Staff D? She threw another smoke grenade forward. Retreat was simply not in her vocabulary.
It also showed how confident she was in her shooting skills—even in a battleground dominated by top-tier heavenly-rank players.
Whether it was her confidence or something else, former pro Moogun found himself unexpectedly convinced by Magia’s combat approach.
Don’t follow her inside. Just stay back and provide cover fire. She’ll figure it out on her own.
[If she dies, it’s going to be a nightmare for the rest of us! Sure, you’re fine because you can make money just from streaming, but I need that prize money!]
This match is just a warm-up anyway. Plus, haven’t you been watching how ‘1st Generation Anniversary Song Revealed on November 5th’ moves? You can probably dodge and revive her if she twists her body the right way. As long as she doesn’t die, we win.
Still, supporter Park Wonhyuk couldn’t help but worry about the next round already.
[Got it. But can I say something, hyung?]
Go ahead.
[Our strategy—or well, if you can even call it a strategy—is already out in the open. There’s no guarantee the other teams will fall for that reckless charge again next round, right?]
It was a valid point.
While Staff D seemed to easily smash through enemy defenses and wreak havoc, the fact remained that these were heavenly-rank players.
Their collapse had likely been due to underestimating Staff D. If they’d known she could pull off such precise shots even in the middle of smoke, they wouldn’t have been wiped out so easily.
And once a strategy has been exposed, it rarely works again.
That’s precisely why internal scrims with top-tier crews like Moving Crew are notoriously challenging—once a tactic is used, it gets countered immediately in the next round.
Whatever. ‘1st Generation Anniversary Song Revealed on November 5th’ said not to hold her back, right? So I’ll just stick to my position. If she charges in recklessly and gets taken out, that’s her problem.
[… Fine. I’ll do my best to keep her alive.]
Just then, another donation came in.
:: An anonymous sponsor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Hyung, you’re surprisingly quiet today. If Momo pulled something like this, wouldn’t you have already scolded her? ::
Moogun smirked and muttered,
Don’t compare the two. Momo acts cocky without any skills to back it up. ‘1st Generation Anniversary Song Revealed on November 5th’ actually has the skills to justify it. Honestly, you all lack the eye for talent.
That offhand remark hit Magia like a direct shot.
It wasn’t just that Moogun casually referred to Momo with a tone of familiarity. He’d gone further, using Magia as the benchmark for comparing and mocking the boss’s skills. Naturally, Magia was fuming.
Not long after, Moogun was surveying the surroundings through his scope on a cliff when he heard a sharp ping.
A grenade clattered against the rocky ground near him.
Startled, Moogun dove backward with a quick dash-slide combo.
Boom!
He narrowly avoided complete disaster. While his shield wasn’t entirely destroyed, two out of three bars had vanished in an instant.
The grenade’s origin? A teammate’s ID bobbing side to side, as if waving in protest.
And for the first time in ages, Magia’s usually silent mic flared to life.
[Don’t insult my boss.]
– ?? LOL
– Wait, was that grenade from Staff D?
– I thought Magia wasn’t talking because he was focused, but LOL
– Was that an attempted team kill?! LOLLLLL
:: An anonymous sponsor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: So, is it true you’ve been brainwashed by the boss? 👀 ::

Naturally, this news reached Dohee, who was busy taking care of the members.
“Boss, look at this.”
What Kang Jiho, the operations team leader, brought was a short clip.
It seemed that Magia was doing exceptionally well, but they were also drawing attention for another reason.
“You might as well advertise Momo’s broth all over the neighborhood.”
“Hehe, but it’s cute, isn’t it?”
Magia kept acting unpredictably, but each act brought out genuine laughter.
The chat reactions, as well as the buzz coming in through community posts, were all similar.
It felt more like a debut broadcast for Magia than anything else.
[(🔴Live) Week 4 of October In-house Matches with a Special Guest] 👪 30,004
Although the momentum seemed to be slowing slightly, the live viewership continued to grow steadily.
The short phrase announcing the release of a new song on November 5 was already firmly embedded in the minds of the viewers.
Even if the broadcast suddenly ended here, the profitability indicators for the investment and advertising expenses were already in a positive range.
After all, this level of viral marketing, despite almost no spending? (Dora designed the set, and jiya captured the attention with precision.)
It wouldn’t be surprising if the finance and PR teams came looking for Magia to ask how this was achieved.
But Magia still had one move left to play:
The teaser video scheduled to be released right after the in-house match.
The issue was finding the right timing to drop that final card.
With all the attention focused on Magia right now, releasing the teaser might just provoke confusion.
Someone might even grumble, “Huh? Why isn’t this about a debut announcement for an employee?”
Noticing this, Magia also delayed the teaser release until after the in-house match… but still…
“We can’t just keep postponing it.”
If there’s a way to redirect the gathered attention, and if Magia can demonstrate that,
It could become a key case proving their influence as an influencer.
This success would further solidify Magia’s presence within the company.
Although everyone acknowledges that Magia is indispensable for the company’s operations,
If you asked whether Magia is considered a top-tier talent, many might hesitate to say yes.
…But perhaps that perception could completely change.

The warm-up match concluded.
And the result?
[1st Place – Moogun Team: Moogun / Jikwon-D / 1st Gen Anniversary Song, November 5 Release]
– They actually took first place?
– Must be Moogun’s carry, lol.
– They just got carried, grab a drink~
– ? It was all Jikwon-D, what are you talking about?
– As expected of the great Moogun.
– King-God-D.
Opinions in the chat were split on whether Moogun or Jikwon-D deserved the credit.
In the end, their “double-anchor” strategy saw Moogun and Magia alternating as the carries, clinching first place.
As the teams prepared for the main matches, one common conclusion echoed,
“We underestimated Jikwon-D.”
In fact, every team that tried to counter Jikwon-D’s relentless charge suffered an early loss of one player, leading to a collapse of their formation. They were swiftly taken down by Moogun’s precise follow-up support.
However, as Park Wonhyuk, Moogun’s team’s supporter, pointed out, most agreed this was because it was the first round.
Now that they knew how Jikwon-D pushed forward, they believed they could keep their distance and herd them effectively, ensuring they wouldn’t lose again.
But Moogun thought differently.
“Let’s stick to this. Feels good so far.”
Magia retorted sharply.
[Feels good? Your support fire was a mess.]
– Lolololololol.
– Wait, I did everything though?!
– Sniped for you, pinged enemy locations, covered you. What more do you want, lol?
– They sure are demanding, huh, lolol.
By now, Moogun was well aware that Magia had no fondness for him.
If anything, Magia gave off the vibes of a truly stubborn critic.
Not just any critic, but one of the most relentless kind.
Still, Moogun had two years of experience in streaming.
He knew how to turn things into entertainment drama (WWE-style).
“Oh, really? I thought the charges were terrible, though.”
[Then who got more kills?]
“Are we really talking about kills here?”
– Hmm.
– They’re not wrong, though.
– Yeah, we lost… twice.
– Wait, twice?
– I didn’t think we’d lose again, bro.
“Ah, you’re making me go full try-hard mode now.”
– What, you weren’t trying before?
– Looked like you were going all out, lol.
– Moogun… Truly relentless.
Ignoring the teasing from the chat, Moogun spoke up.
“1st Gen Anniversary Song, November 5 Release, how about a kill contest over the next three rounds? Deal?”
The sudden challenge seemed designed to catch Magia off guard, but they didn’t take the bait.
[I thought the next round was the last one?]
“No, but a kill contest is more fun over multiple rounds. One match is too random. How about two extra rounds? Final-final-final match?”
[No.]
– Lololololol.
– C’mon, uncle, just two more rounds~
– He’s not a bad guy, you know?
– When someone says no, let it go, you creeper.
– Don’t leeeaaveeeee~
The chat was abuzz, full of playful cajoling aimed at Magia.
It wasn’t often someone this skilled stood their ground so firmly against Moogun. The dynamic between them had the air of a seasoned streamer bantering with a peer, and it was captivating.
Bolstered by the chat’s support, Moogun declared,
“Guys, show some sincerity here. You can’t expect someone busy to stay longer for free, right?”
[That’s your fault, Moogun.]
“Quick, quick! Why aren’t you setting up a mission yet? If you don’t hurry, the next match will start, and once it’s over, that’s it for today’s in-house matches!”
Ding.
:: Mission ::
:: Jikwon-D, please stay for just two more matches! – 100,000 KRW ::
Seeing the mission pop up, Magia muttered,
[We can’t just extend the rounds without consulting the others.]
Moogun countered immediately.
“What are you talking about? We always play at least four matches. Today’s shorter because 1st Gen Anniversary Song is busy.”
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.
With over 30,000 viewers tuning in, donations began pouring in at an astonishing rate.
:: Mission ::
:: Jikwon-D, please stay for just two more matches! – 1,090,000 KRW ::
Despite the donations stacking up in increments of 1,000 or 5,000 won, the total quickly surpassed 1 million won.
However, Magia was not the type to be swayed by money.
The only reason she appeared on Lane’s broadcast before was because it benefited Lane directly—boosting their revenue and donation rankings.
The Bazzi Jjik platform calculated donation rankings daily, weekly, and monthly, giving exposure to top earners on its main page.
Thanks to the 4.25 million won Lane received that day, they secured spots in both the daily and weekly rankings, which significantly increased their channel’s traffic.
But a mission on Moogun’s stream?
Why should she accept it?
Even if she did, only Moogun’s broadcast would climb the rankings.
:: Mission ::
:: Jikwon-D, please stay for just two more matches! – 1,845,000 KRW ::
Even if the total mission amount hit 10 million won, Magia saw no reason to accept.
[I’m sorry, but I won’t take the mission.]
…However.
What if it wasn’t money, but something else in exchange?
[But, I might accept something other than a mission.]
Moogun stroked his chin and nodded enthusiastically.
“Something else, huh? Well, if you have a request, let’s hear it.”
Magia had been aware from the start of the broadcast that she was at the center of attention.
But the interest directed at her? That wasn’t her concern.
Her silence during the game was deliberate; she’d been thinking.
[After the in-house matches, how about hosting a Parallel Song World Cup?]
Her thoughts had revolved around how to redirect this attention toward the 1st generation members.
