I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 15
Only Noblemtl
015.
“Oppa! Wow! How on earth did you do that? How are you so good at wielding a pair of axes?”
As soon as the broadcast program ended, Ji-an asked Lee Do-hyeok.
Her face was still flushed red, as if the fever had not yet subsided.
“Um… If I just do it, it works?”
Lee Do-hyeok’s answer to that.
I couldn’t tell the truth.
My younger brother had already misunderstood me and thought I had been deceived by a cult.
‘What the… Among my past colleagues, there was a Barbarian concept guy who used a pair of axes amazingly. I used to hang out with him a lot and copy some of his abilities, so I got used to it.’
– I guess you can’t say that.
“What’s with that talent-type remark? But what… if it’s my brother.”
That’s why I said I just did it and it worked.
Still, Ji-an accepted Lee Do-hyeok’s words more easily than expected.
This is because she knew Lee Do-hyuk well in many ways as they were real siblings.
‘Because my brother was good at everything from the beginning.’
Although his academic ability was just average enough to get into Seoul National University, he was more talented than anyone Ji-an knew when it came to physical activities.
During my school days, I received several offers from sports clubs.
It’s no exaggeration to say that there were even sports club teachers who came to the parents and tried to persuade their children to play sports, almost to the point of a sit-in for a month.
‘Looking back now, I guess I really should have made him exercise.’
If my brother had chosen sports during his school days, he would have won at least one Olympic medal.
Of course, becoming an Olympic medalist is not that easy, but even though I knew that, I couldn’t help but think that way because of Lee Do-hyuk’s [It Kills To] play.
It’s true that Gian is a clumsy person who can’t play games, but does that mean that she doesn’t have any discerning eyes?
The movements that Lee Do-hyeok showed off today while holding a double axe were reminiscent of mad movies of streamers and pro gamers who each possess physiques that are beyond the level of ordinary people.
Even though that was my brother’s first game play today.
So, it’s a thought that comes naturally.
“Brother. How about we start broadcasting properly for once?”
“Broadcast? Me?”
“huh!”
If her older brother, Lee Do-hyeok, starts his own broadcast, wouldn’t it be a huge hit?
Gian also knew it very well as she was a broadcaster.
How great of a weapon is being good at games for a streamer?
‘Of course, not everyone who simply has good skills will succeed···.’
In the end, the most important thing is the fun of broadcasting.
The cruel world of internet broadcasting is one where no matter how skilled a streamer is, if they are not fun, viewers will not come.
Even on Twitch, there are still many streamers who are talented but are still not fun to watch and have not been able to escape the status quo.
‘But you are an exception.’
No matter how great your skills are, if it’s not fun, the show will fail?
That’s true.
However, this is correct when it comes to general level.
What if it wasn’t just outstanding, but crazy enough to cleanse your eyes just by looking at it?
“Did you see the viewers’ reactions today? If oppa did as well as he did today, he would be incredibly popular even if he didn’t say anything and just showed the game.”
At that time, things like broadcast fun were unnecessary.
Just watching the game itself is fun, so what else is there to be fun about?
“Hmm.”
Lee Do-hyeok was also troubled by Ji-an’s words.
Actually, while broadcasting today, I also felt something.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something like this.’
How many months has it been since the outbreak happened?
There were several things that had been bothering Lee Do-hyuk.
The emptiness that comes from the fact that the world has not been destroyed at all even though he came to save it.
Debt collection from debt collectors as persistent as those from alien races.
The gap between the world he left behind on the verge of destruction and the world he lives in now.
But if I had to pick the one that was the hardest to endure…
‘It was so boring.’
It was, without a doubt, an extremely monotonous routine.
Before his return, Lee Do-hyeok had been fighting for over 10 years.
A bloody fight where we kill each other, and if I can’t kill the aliens in front of me, I will die.
A world where slashing, chopping, and stabbing aliens in the neck were the norm.
Their peculiar foul odor never left their bodies.
Lee Do-hyuk has been living like that for 10 years, 10 years.
He used to be like that, but now he just had to repeat work and construction without any stimulation.
Life was so boring I thought I might die from boredom.
‘I don’t miss those days.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean that Lee Do-hyeok is a crazy battle fanatic who can’t stand seeing blood.
Of course, the world now is more peaceful than it was back then.
But it is true that the past few months of his life have been unbearably boring.
?Kwajik!
A battle in virtual reality that I experienced during that time.
Although it was a virtual reality battle, it was almost identical to the real thing.
Thanks to this, I was able to feel a sense of satisfaction that completely shook up my boring daily life.
So, Lee Do-hyeok also had the same thought.
‘Should we do it right this time?’
It was fun too.
Anyway, there’s nothing else to do besides this, right?
Unless you’re going from construction site to construction site like you are now.
Lee Do-hyuk’s face became troubled.
“Huh? Are you attracted to me too?”
Ji-an’s eyes sparkled as she watched Lee Do-hyeok from the side.
“If I say I’m not attracted to you, I’m lying.”
“Really? You thought about it well.”
“No. I haven’t decided yet, I’m just thinking about it. I think it wouldn’t hurt to try it a few more times.”
Gian’s eyes lit up even more when she heard those words.
She knows my brother well.
The words are being thrown around like this, but at this point, most of it is just like getting over it.
In addition, Gian had a secret weapon to persuade her brother.
“Really? I thought about it carefully. There was a huge outpouring of support today.”
Just a backing punch.
“Excluding the mission fee, it’s close to 3 million won. If it weren’t for you, oppa, I wouldn’t have even gotten half of it.”
After hearing Ji-an’s words, Lee Do-hyeok’s heart wavered once more.
Donations continued to pour in nonstop throughout the broadcast.
So I guessed it, but it was even more surprising when I heard it directly.
“Huh… 3 million won?”
“Yeah. This is the first time I’ve come this far.”
They say that over 3 million won was made without even broadcasting for 10 hours.
I knew that Donegas exploded quite often, but I didn’t know it would add up to this many.
Besides, this is the amount calculated by Doneman.
“If you add the mission success amount and the guest fee I promised last time…”
The amount of money for a successful mission, which was close to several million won, is an amount that has not even been calculated.
There was also a separate guest fee of 50,000 that Gian had originally promised.
If you add them all up…
“My share is over 200?”
“Bigger than that.”
“Bigger?”
“Yeah. Everything that Blackbeard shot belongs to you. It’s almost like you do that mission all by yourself. I feel a bit bad about receiving it.”
“···oh.”
Lee Do-hyeok looked at Ji-an with an expression that said, “He’s good to have a younger sibling.”
That sense of leisure that a mission amount of 1 million won is not a large amount.
Lee Do-hyuk now knew where it came from.
As you can see from watching it for yourself today, if the show goes well, you can earn an average person’s monthly salary in one day.
‘It definitely seems like something worth a try.’
Thinking about it makes me feel even more shaken.
Although it was a special case of merger, it was an income of 3 million won in one day.
It’s a lot of money that can be earned after working on a construction site for several weeks.
How could one not be touched?
“I guarantee you, oppa, you’re going to hit it big. No, it’s going to be a total mess starting tomorrow.”
Ji-an looked at Lee Do-hyeok and smiled confidently.
In fact, as some viewers have said, it would be more appropriate for the flow of the show to play through [It Kills To] to the end once it has started.
[It Kills To]’s game volume isn’t that big.
If we had given up our bedtimes, we could have stayed up all night even with the night shift.
‘But that shouldn’t be the case!’
But why did you insist on taking a break and indulge yourself for a day?
Gian also had her own reasons.
‘It takes time for the bait to roll.’
[Highest number of viewers: 1,238]
The highest number of viewers recorded today was a whopping 1,200.
This is the first time in her broadcasting history that she has reached four digits.
But still, a thought occurred to me.
‘···Only one thousand two hundred?’
If she had surpassed a thousand subscribers on her own broadcast, she would have been thrilled.
But where did she get credit for today’s viewership numbers?
The fact that it reached 1,200 viewers was mostly thanks to Lee Do-hyeok’s play and the Black Oak viewers who came in after seeing it.
Considering that, the number one thousand two hundred feels like too few.
‘It’s a waste of Oppa’s play to be satisfied with a thousand people!’
Not a thousand, but tens of thousands.
No, crazy physique that suits tens of thousands more.
She saw Lee Do-hyeok’s play right next to her with her own eyes.
We couldn’t be satisfied with just one thousand two hundred people.
“Look. Do you see this chat window? Are the viewers still feeling the afterglow?”
Gian said so and pointed to the chat window.
-Wow but today’s broadcast was really fun
-So what time is the broadcast tomorrow?
-How did you avoid the attack that came from behind earlier?
-It looks like there are eyes in the back too lol
The broadcast is turned off, but the chat window still remains.
Although a significant number of viewers left, it seemed that some viewers still remained.
People who lost their place due to Lee Do-hyeok and Ji-an’s sudden departure.
‘I saw something like this today. Can I just sit still?’
Ji-an smiled as she thought about that.
None of them are going to head to bed and say, ‘Oh, I’m going to sleep now’ when her broadcast is over.
It was already late at night, 1AM, but while everyone else was in dreamland, 1AM was the main activity time for the T-shirts.
-Please tell me the next coordinates
-Black Oak, okay
-The black market will soon be in full swing···
-Come back tomorrow
-Coordinates dog doll man gg
That means most of the 1,200 viewers will leave and find other broadcasts.
And I guarantee you,

Most of them won’t be able to get through today without talking about what they saw.
**
The broadcast is over, but Lee Do-hyuk’s day is not over.
There is a routine that Lee Do-hyuk does every day without fail.
Meditation and physical training.
I haven’t missed a single day since I returned.
Of course, knowing that an outbreak wouldn’t happen, I reduced the amount of time I spent training from all my waking hours to just a few hours.
But that didn’t stop it.
A habit that has become deeply ingrained in me while living as a hunter.
“Whew.”
Lee Do-hyuk finished his training with a deep breath.
A body drenched in sweat.
Is it because I’m running wild in virtual reality?
Lee Do-hyuk felt refreshed after finishing training for the first time in a long time.
The idea that virtual reality is not reality was not very strong.
It feels like you’re fighting an actual battle.
There was a special elation that could only be felt when everything was poured out.
Shh …
widely!
Lee Do-hyuk came into the room after taking a shower.
I checked my phone and there was a message from Gian.
-Gian: Oppa! Look at this.
-Gian: Am I right?
What kind of internet links did Gian send me?
When you click on the link, what you see is a community that is familiar to Lee Do-hyeok.
The largest internet community site in Korea where people talk about all kinds of topics.
[It Kills to Minor Gallery] there.
[Who is the axe murderer and why is the gallery in chaos?]
-(video)
If you look at it, it’s cancer
Nah, you piece of shit
N looks like the spelling villain that I saw in the kid’s chat window. LOL – What is it? Is that the hack?

That ship sank
[(Video analysis of the comment) The reason why the axe murderer’s double axe play is really crazy]
-Analysis
-1 divided by 1? Anyone know?
-So what’s this streamer’s name?
The gallery was filled with stories about Lee Do-hyeok.
The general reaction was praise for Lee Do-hyuk’s crazy physique.
In addition, there were occasional speculations about his identity.
Speculations are going around that he is a recently discharged agent from the special forces, a mercenary who worked for an overseas PMC, a medalist in a little-known, unpopular sport, or a rookie who is about to make his broadcast debut after a series of planning by a streaming entertainment company.
Of course, none of the guesses seemed close to the truth.
[Note: That kid is actually a returned hunter.]

-Web review
-To the Jangma Gallery
Or maybe it existed but was not given much attention and was buried.
Bam!
It was at that time.
“Oppa! Awesome!”
Gian appeared as the door opened.
She ran towards me, waving her smartphone at Lee Do-hyuk.
Then he showed me a piece of writing.
[Hello. This is Black Oak.]
A tweet starting with the title:
The content was simple.
Admiration for Lee Do-hyeok’s play, inquiries about using the video for iTube, etc.
Let’s just summarize the main point, leaving out the miscellaneous stuff…
[Let’s merge!]
Merger proposal.
No, to be more precise···
