I was familiar with a lot of characters.
From game characters to anime characters.
There were all sorts of characters in my mind.
But right now.
The character in front of me was extremely familiar, even considering that.
“…Is this here?”
“Ah, I had one made as a test, and it turned out better than expected, so I brought it here.”
“Ah.”
It was the illustration of a character I had first commissioned from the “Heart Memorial” production company.
Seeing that character turned into a panel like this was surprising.
I took a photo, thinking it was pretty cool.
“Seeing it as an actual panel is pretty amazing. I didn’t expect it to be here.”
I thought it would be fun to show it during a stream later.
I thought the viewers might like it.
After taking the photo, I started walking around the venue.
It was definitely a huge venue, probably because the game company had rented it out with a big budget.
It seemed like they had spent a lot of money on it.
While walking around and discussing the layout, I started sharing my thoughts.
“How about setting up the panels here? What do you think?”
“I think it’s fine. We can put the popular characters here, and the less popular ones can be placed on the side.”
I had only thought about drawing the characters, but I hadn’t really considered their popularity.
After hearing Seo Yunha’s suggestion, I did some research on the characters’ recognition and started arranging the panels accordingly.
“Then, let’s put this one here-“
We continued discussing for a while.
After some time, we had decided where to place the panels in the venue.
If it had just been us, decision-making might have been a bit harder, but since the person in charge was also there, we were able to determine the direction of the event.
“…I think this should be good now.”
“Yeah, it looks good. Everything seems set.”
Finally, after deciding how to arrange the panels and what to place where, we went to a nearby restaurant and had a meal together.
Of course, the person in charge came with us as well.
“By the way, how did you get to know Jaehun? I heard he only works in Parangsae, so he’s probably not that well-known.”
Of course, objectively speaking, I was somewhat well-known in Parangsae.
Most ordinary people probably wouldn’t know me, though.
Just as I was thinking that, I heard the answer.
“I found out about Jaehun through Parangsae. I was looking for artists for illustration work, and I came across his stuff there.”
“Oh…”
That was a relief.
I thought they might have found me through my stream, so I was relieved.
“Well, the reason I decided to give him a chance was mainly because of his streaming, though.”
“Streaming?”
“Yeah, after seeing Jaehun draw on stream, I thought it could have a great promotional effect.”
“Wait, Jaehun streams?”
In an instant, the fact that I streamed was out in the open.
I was caught off guard.
I had hoped it would remain a secret.
Feeling a bit betrayed, I quickly tried to explain myself.
“Ah, I do some hobby streams where I draw. It’s not a big deal, though.”
Normally, I wouldn’t make excuses, but in this situation, I had to.
It would be awkward if I didn’t clear it up.
I didn’t want the fact that I was streaming regularly to be exposed either.
Thankfully, Seo Yunha didn’t press any further.
It seemed like it wasn’t something she was too curious about.
“Since we’re talking about streaming, did you know that Arim also streams?”
Seo Yunha asked the person in charge, who hesitated for a moment.
“No..? I mostly watch internet streams, but I don’t know too many people across all platforms.”
“Ah, I thought you might know.”
“Ahaha… I’m not very familiar with that side of things.”
They answered briefly.
I was relieved.
I had been worried that she might mention Ryu Arim’s streaming name, but thankfully, that didn’t happen.
Feeling better, we continued with our small talk.
After returning home, I i mmediately started my stream.
The reason was simple.
I had to continue the medieval game from last time, but for some reason, I couldn’t continue it.
I had to catch up today.
“Aaah, can everyone hear me?”
[+HurryAndLeave: ᄒᄋᄒᄋ]
[ᄒ]
[Yesterday’s collab was so much fun ㅋㅋ]
[No collab today? It was fun ᄅ]
[Pepe: Came a bit late today]
[You were just on time yesterday, not late today ㅋㅋ]
It seemed like many people enjoyed yesterday’s stream.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten so many compliments about it as soon as I started the stream.
Surely, streaming together has a big impact.
I hadn’t expected it to have such an effect.
I thought that maybe I could try another collab next time if there’s time.
With that thought in mind, I immediately started the medieval game.
“Okay, today, no introductions, I’m going straight into it. There’s something I didn’t finish last time.”
I didn’t have a lot of time.
After all, the semester was starting soon.
So, I had to get as much game time in as possible.
To be specific, medieval game time.
[Ka]
[This is it ᄉᄉᄉᄉᄉ]
[+HurryAndLeave: Perfect review, let’s go ᄉ]
[No way, are there still people who haven’t reviewed?]
[We gave you a whole review time, how could you not have reviewed? ㅋㅋ]
[Pepe: Two days of review time, and you didn’t do it? Then you must just not want to watch the stream 00;]
Checking the chat, it seemed like there were a lot of viewers who had been waiting for today’s stream.
It made sense.
When I checked the replay views, the day I played the medieval game had a significantly higher view count.
‘By the way, it’s a relief that the overall game is doing well from the start.’
If it hadn’t gone well, I would’ve been a bit embarrassed.
I was relieved and quickly started the game.
Doo-doo-doo-
The distinct sound of the medieval world fills the surroundings.
And then, a moment later.
[Would you like to continue?]
The familiar phrase appears on the screen.
“Ah, this is already going to be fun. I stopped right at the interesting part last time.”
[+HurryAndLeave: ᄅᄋ]
[Stopped right at the fun part last time ㅋㅋ]
[Let’s go all the way this time.]
[Pepe: Got anything scheduled for tomorrow? If not, you should just stream all day.]
“I don’t have any plans. So, I’m ready to stream for a long time today, so don’t worry.”
There were no plans.
This meant I could stream as much as I wanted today.
‘At least 8 hours.’
Since I couldn’t do everything yesterday, I was planning for at least 8 hours of streaming.
“Then, let’s go.”
With that, I dove straight back into the medieval game.
“Here, I’ll weaken the durability with the mace first, then shove a knife into the empty spot.”
Saying that, I took action.
A moment later.
Whoosh!
Blood sprayed out from between the tough-looking armor.
It seemed like my strategy worked.
“Easy. I thought it would be harder.”
The enemy was wearing such impressive armor, so I expected it to be a tough monster, but it turned out to be easier than expected.
I just had to follow the standard method of attacking.
Thinking it was easy, I quickly started farming for items.
“Oh, this defense gear is good.”
Thanks to hitting it with the mace so many times, the durability had weakened a bit, but it was still useful.
If I took it to the local blacksmith, they’d probably restore it.
[+HurryAndLeave: Kyah]
[Looks good enough to wear around, huh?]
[By the way, look at the durability getting wrecked after being bashed with the mace ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[It makes sense the durability is shot.]
[If it didn’t break after getting hammered with a mace, that would be weird.]
[This is hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Pepe: The fact that you finished it off with a knife after all that is ᄅᄋ, savage.]
Even if you kept hitting it with the mace, it would’ve died.
[Not hitting it with the mace continuously? That’s not normal…]
[You gotta get that armor.]
“If I kept hitting with the mace, the durability would’ve broken, right? That would be such a waste. I’m not volunteering here, I’m doing this to make a living.”
I wasn’t a psychopath, and the reason I killed passing people was simple.
It was to take their armor or weapons.
But why would I waste durability by smashing it with a mace?
‘That doesn’t make sense.’
There was no reason to do that.
As I was thinking this and farming for items—
[Heart X Memorial has donated 80,000 won!]
Yotte, thank you so much today!!!!!
A familiar username appeared with a donation.
At the same time, I understood why the donation had arrived.
“Ah, thank you.”
They probably wanted me to promote the event.
I had met them in person today, after all.
Thinking about what I should start talking about, I began to speak.
