I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 81

Episode 81 [Iron Fist] – Consistent

Incheon Airport boarding gate.

“Brother, look here! Filming is starting.”

Kim Yun-seong started taking pictures of Lee Do-hyeok coming out after completing the departure inspection.

“Tha. Hello. Viewers.”

Lee Do-hyuk greeted him naturally.

He looks like a professional broadcaster.

“This? Oh, I just got it.”

Lee Do-hyeok replied to the chat window that appeared through smart glasses.

Smart glass in a semi-transparent form.

This is a hot new product that I bought on my way here considering outdoor broadcasting.

-Wow

-I spent some money

-What the heck is this?

-Sensei Dohyuk… spends money?

“Oh, what are you talking about? You’re talking like I’m some kind of swindler who doesn’t spend money. Just now, Yoon… no, I even paid for the airfare to Dotube with my own money.”

-Oh really?

-Wow, did you make some money with this?

-These days, sponsorships are really popping up

“Yes! My brother even gave me a business class ticket!”

“Hmm. Okay, okay.”

Kim Yun-seong mentions the business class seat that Lee Do-hyeok gave him with perfect timing.

Lee Do-hyuk gave him a thumbs up.

I needed someone to take charge of filming while doing an outdoor broadcast like this, and I also had plans to produce a few videos for iTube in addition to streaming, so I went with Kim Yun-seong.

-No but what the hell is a giraffe? You really didn’t touch the avatar at all. -You really have it all.

-Ah, shit – –

A full-dive avatar that scans your real body and uses it.

But it wasn’t entirely realistic.

Although Fulldive cannot make major changes to its policies, it is still possible to make some minor modifications.

Modifications such as correcting skin tone, slightly adjusting the size of facial features, or improving body proportions.

Most people, including ordinary people and internet broadcasters who have a job that requires them to pay attention to their appearance, make as many modifications as possible within the scope of what they can do.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the original immutable laws will change… but it’s better than not doing anything.

If you do a good job of editing, there are times when it looks much better than it does in reality.

However, Lee Do-hyeok, who seems to have never gone through such a process, is completely different in his appearance in Full Dive and on camera.

-He’s good at games, tall, and handsome…

-ㅅㅂㅅㅂㅅㅂEven my body is good

-Ah… I’m suddenly really pissed off.

-Please, Kosam…

Lee Do-hyuk was used to receiving compliments about his appearance in the chat window.

“Hmm… Is that it?”

It’s not something he started, but it’s a line that has become his catchphrase at some point.

-damn

-Is that right?ㅡㅡ

-Deceiver dies

anyway.

Lee Do-hyuk continues to communicate with viewers while heading to the boarding gate.

Naturally, the main story was about EVO.

“A draw? Hmm… If possible, I would like Anatol and Beyond to meet late. Why… You know what I mean, right?”

-Ugh hahahahahaha

-Ah haha ​​I’m sorry if I send you home too quickly

-Look at the fighting spirit lol

-But it’s true

Lee Do-hyeok doesn’t hide his confidence in winning.

In fact, I thought so, and also because his humility actually had a negative effect due to the nature of his broadcasting.

It’s been about a month since I started broadcasting on the Internet.

In the meantime, Lee Do-hyuk has gained considerable recognition.

Even in the world of fighting games, there is almost no one who does not know Lee Do-hyuk, and even in other fields, there are many people who have heard of Lee Do-hyuk if they are a game enthusiast.

Even if you don’t remember the name, you all know something like, ‘Hey, you guys, your dad got stabbed in the ass.’

Thanks to the news that a streamer who suddenly appeared and took over the domestic fighting game scene, it became a hot topic in all gaming communities.

And those who got to know Lee Do-hyeok in this way have a common image of him.

‘genius.’

A monster that takes down the previous strongest players one by one in the first game it’s played.

Owner of monster physique.

In other words, humility does not suit Lee Do-hyeok.

What the viewers expected from him was not that, but rather the opposite.

“Kwabnayo? Hmm… If possible, I’d rather see you in the finals. I’m not an API pro, and I was invited as a streamer… I’d feel bad if we met in the round of 16 or 32 and I got eliminated.”

-No ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋAre you not even thinking about the possibility of losing? -He really has the best fighting spirit ㅋㅋㅋㅋ-Wow but Dohyuk sensei vs. Kwabna in the finals? That would be seriously fun. -Kwabna was exactly like that in our first conversation. -If we met in the finals and had a pre-interview, it would be hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even before we started, we were both like, hmm… Will I lose? I think it would be seriously fun.

“Royal Road? I’ll eat it.”

-oh

-Are you eating that now?

-Stop eating! Even Byeokbyeok ate!

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅁㅊ

Royal Road, which means winning the first major tournament you enter.

Lee Do-hyuk proudly declares that.

“That too, with a perfect record.”

It was an appearance that met viewers’ expectations exactly.

Of course, it was also 100% sincere.

-Wow

-This is it lol

-Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen an evo.

* * *

“Hello, fighting game fans around the world. Finally! The festival of fighting gamers, EVO, is back. And it’s bigger than ever! I’m Labyrinth, hosting the EVO Iron Fist section for the second year in a row. Nice to meet you!”

EVO, the Olympics of the fighting game world, has finally opened.

“I’m Tasty, your commentator. It’s my second time seeing you since last year. Hello!”

“I’m Asus. Unlike the other two, I wasn’t there last year. The fucking tournament organizers didn’t call me because I did a few MurderPucks!”

?The veteran commentators familiar to fighting game fans opened the tournament by introducing themselves.

Everyone who should know about them knows the famous commentators.

They were all loved by fans for their commentary skills on all kinds of fighting games and their gift for gab.

Asus, who is especially popular for his unique commentary style that mixes ups and profanity, is also a former Iron Fist pro and famous streamer.

If he did an Iron Fist broadcast, he would easily get tens of thousands of viewers.

Of course, Asus’s professional experience was very early, and it was a debut that was fueled by popularity, but he still had an outstanding understanding of Iron Fist.

“Haha, what do you think the organizers are saying? Do you think Asus won’t be invited again next year?”

“That’s right! Even Kwabna is retiring, so what’s there to see? Isn’t that right, everyone?”

-yaaayyyyyy

-SO TRUE

-Kwabna is just a goat. No one can replace him.

-I don’t want to agree, but he’s the strongest at the moment…

Asus is also known for being a huge fan of Kwabna.

[-“Oh, this is a crazy play! This is a crazy play! Remember this name! Kwabna! This is the man who will be the pinnacle of this era!”]

When Kwabna competed in his first world championship.

His commentary on Kwabna, who won the quarterfinals by an overwhelming margin over his opponent, is still being talked about.

This was the first time that Asus, known for its keen eye for players and nicknamed ‘Ajalal’, had given such high praise.

Even at a time when others were wondering, ‘Kwabna… is that it?’, Asus was always praising Kwabna as the best.

So when Kwabna reached the top as he said, I became his biggest fan.

And that’s why he was hired to commentate for this tournament.

“The other players need to work harder. To be honest, even the top players aren’t even half as good as Kwabna.”

Since Kwabna declared that he would switch events after this tournament, the EVO organizers were planning to make the tournament’s focus Kwabna’s finale.

If there was a candidate who could beat Kwabna, I would have focused on that and created a coronation-like atmosphere, but since that doesn’t seem likely, I made this choice.

It was Kwabna who had won the World Championships less than a month ago, beating his opponents 3-0 in both the semifinals and the final.

And at that time, the commentators were opening the tournament with various conversations and heightening the atmosphere.

Swish-

Players’ waiting room.

Lee Do-hyuk set foot in the place where fighters from all over the world gathered.

It seemed like the other participants had already taken their seats.

It was because of the incident where Kim Yun-seong’s luggage was lost, which resulted in a lot of time being wasted at the airport.

Of course, the competition doesn’t start right away, but since it has to go through the opening ceremony performance and draw, it wouldn’t be a big deal even if it was delayed.

“hmm….”

Perhaps because he appeared last, everyone’s attention was focused on him.

Lee Do-hyuk opened his mouth while receiving the pouring gaze.

“This body, appears.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋwhat a shameless bastard

-ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋThe last thing he said was how did this body appear-ㄹㅇ I’m still a guy I’m still a guy The personal broadcast that was still on.

Kim Yun-seong couldn’t come in with us, so the screen wasn’t showing, but his voice was being transmitted through his smart glasses.

“The main character usually appears last. Then I will end it here. Everyone, please watch it as the official broadcast. Tva.”

But it is impossible to continue broadcasting even in the waiting room.

Lee Do-hyeok gave a speech and gave his blessing.

-Doba

-Bbbb

“Mr. Dohyuk!”

“I thought you were late.”

Anatole and Beyond came over to greet Lee Do-hyeok.

Looking at the direction the two came from, I saw other Korean pros as well.

Those who became acquainted with him through ranked games.

Lee Do-hyuk simply exchanged greetings with them.

‘That guy… 3 cans, that guy has 2 cans, um… Akuma? That guy had 7 cans?’

For some reason, they flinched when their eyes met with Lee Do-hyeok’s.

“Is this your first time meeting in real life? Nice to meet you all.”

Lee Do-hyuk asked Anatole and Beyond to shake hands.

They started dating at Ulpa and have become quite close now.

However, Anatole and Beyond looked a little awkward, perhaps because it was their first time seeing each other in person.

“Nice to meet you too. No, but… wow… I already knew you were handsome… .”

“I suddenly feel even more wronged. Did you really have to have it all?”

But the two soon return to normal.

Lee Do-hyeok looked around while chatting with them about this and that.

Then, a few people’s eyes met.

“…Eek!”

There’s one person who’s surprised for no reason.

From his appearance he seemed to be either Chinese or Japanese.

“… Do, Dohyoku-san. Hajime Mashite.”

Tsuki, who came to find Lee Do-hyeok a little late, is quite far away, so he is probably Chinese.

While thinking about that, Lee Do-hyeok also greeted Tsuki.

“… … .”

Besides that, there were more than a few eyes on Lee Do-hyeok.

It was different from the one I was hooked on when he first appeared.

The gazes these days are quite persistent… and most of them are filled with a lot of curiosity.

‘I think they’re foreign kids.’

Although we cannot guarantee nationality based on skin color,

I thought that perhaps the rumor about Lee Do-hyeok had spread to countries other than Korea and Japan.

RanK #1

Omega GOD

[Hmm, is that right?]

Although I’m not a pro, I’m ranked 1st in the Asian server.

The fact that he achieved this rank while recording a 100% win rate means a lot.

But that doesn’t mean there were many eyes looking at Lee Do-hyeok.

Except for him, most of them are active pros.

The idea that a professional is a professional and an amateur is an amateur was bound to be deeply ingrained in my head.

‘Well, it’s not important.’

At that time.

“hmm?”

Lee Do-hyeok and Kwabna’s eyes met.

Kwabna wasn’t looking at Lee Do-hyeok either, but Lee Do-hyeok looked at him first, so he felt his gaze and looked at him.

“… Tsk.”

But our encounter was only brief.

It only lasted about a second.

Because Kwabna turned her gaze away from Lee Do-hyeok without even paying any attention to him.

The tongue-clicking that seemed to imply, “What are you looking at on the topic?” was a bonus.

Shhh-

When Lee Do-hyuk saw that, the corners of his mouth curved up.

‘That guy is really consistent.’

It was the same when we first met in our last life.

In this life too…

‘You always buy and sell falcons.’

Shudder.

A sudden chill.

Kwabna shuddered slightly.

“… … ?”

Why am I suddenly thinking of my late great-grandmother?

The will he had heard just then flashed through Kwabna’s mind.
