Chapter 200

An unidentified ring that came through a trade request.

When I wore it, I ended up becoming a couple with another user in-game.

Is this really how couples are formed? Or is it a special feature of this ring?

Considering that the viewers didn’t react at all when I put the ring on, it was more likely the latter.

If anyone knew what would happen when I wore it, at least one or two people would have mentioned it in the chat.

Since the game had only just been released, everyone probably didn’t even know such items existed.

Honestly, it wasn’t that big of a deal. Just because we became a couple in-game doesn’t mean we’re a real couple; it’s just a concept romance within the game.

I could end this relationship anytime I wanted if I set my mind to it. It’s pretty different from reality.

If anything, it was just a sort of happening, but the viewers didn’t seem to think so.

[Killkillkillkillkillkill]
[Yeondan…? Yeondan…? Yeondan…? Yeondan…? Yeondan…?]
[I’ve only thought about killing that guy who trampled on the hearts of 30 million Kayak fans from the start]
[Do you think someone didn’t give the ring because they didn’t know? Lol, this guy is totally out of it]
[Did that item even exist? I didn’t see it in the cash shop]
[Looks like a drop item; I’m seeing it for the first time too]
[I don’t know much else, but it’s funny seeing the viewers freak out, Kayak is a huge plus lol]

“Whoa whoa, calm down. Why are you all so angry? It’s really nothing. The more you react, the better it is for Yeondan.”

< PongPong donated 1,000 won! >

-Yeondan ‘ssi’?

The viewers reacted fiercely as if a dating rumor about their favorite celebrity had just broken out.

I couldn’t understand it. I mean, it’s not like we’re actually dating; it’s just how things turned out in the game!

[Anyone can become an oppa or honey in an instant ㅇㅇ]
[I wanted to be with Kayak even if it’s just in the game]
[My precious first experience with Kayak!!!!]
[Kayak is no longer pure… she’s been tainted…]
[The broth concentration is ridiculously thick lol]

“I’m just kidding, guys?”

[KayakLoveDog donated 1,000 won!]

-Does it seem like a joke? lol

[The scary part is that this isn’t a concept]
[For real lol, only a tiny fraction are actually doing it for the game]
[Half of them are just pretending to be online boyfriends while they can lol]
Half of them are just pretending to be my online boyfriend because they want to, haha!

How could anyone look at the Broadcast Host and not feel something?

I warned you to take off the ring before saying anything nice!

Even at this moment, the Broadcast Host is a couple with Yeondan… It crushes my heart so much that I can’t stand it…

Kayak, come back to being single quickly! T_T

I didn’t expect to have such an exaggerated reaction.

It was a ring I intended to take off anyway. If I keep playing with this, something big is going to happen, so I decided to take it off quickly.

– Do you want to release the ring of eternal companionship?

※ Warning! If you release it, the romantic relationship with ‘Yeondan’ will be terminated.

– Release complete.

Your romantic relationship with ‘Yeondan’ has ended. (Time as lovers: 0 hours 16 minutes 21 seconds)

“What’s all this fuss? I’m no one’s, really. If we had to break it down, I’m in a relationship with you, viewers.”

[What what what what what?]

[Now it’s habitual to say our…]

[In the old days, I couldn’t have even said this without stuttering and I wouldn’t have looked directly at the camera.]

[It’s nice, but I feel like it’s lost its blush… Hmm…]

[What’s natural flirting?!]

[I feel like we’ve slightly moved from the early phase of dating to the mid-stage.]

[Before long, we’ll hit a boredom phase, tsk tsk, haha!]

[Complaining a lot about me giving out broth, these guys, haha!]

[For real, they’re critiquing me.]

“Seriously… It’s disgusting.”

After a playful quarrel with the viewers, I focused back on leveling up.

*

[Is it Fantasia again today?]

[This week, just think of it as playing only Fantasia, yes, yes.]

[Fantasía Power-up, stop!]

After playing Fantasia on the first day, I kept playing it on the broadcast.

Maybe because of that, the viewers seemed somewhat tired of it, but it couldn’t be helped.

“Still, I have to hit max level and try the raid, folks.”

My loyalty to Eonix and the game itself isn’t all that bad.

Maybe because it’s still early days, but there’s not much of the grindy elements typical of RPGs, and there are plenty of visual delights, so it seems alright for broadcasting.

If the game was only fun for me and boring for the viewers, I would’ve quit ages ago. Otherwise, I would have just enjoyed it quietly without broadcasting it.
“If this game were boring, I would have quit ages ago. Even so, I would have enjoyed it quietly without broadcasting.”

“The raid got such good reviews, so I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll be diving right into the raid today.”

“Honestly, I wanted to do it right after hitting max level yesterday, but it was late and it’s a weekday, so I decided to time it for the weekend. I had already said that I would do the raid together with the viewers from the start.”

“Do I just open the party like this?”

“[If you do that, you’ll be the party leader.]”

“[Theodora’s supporting build is complete@@@@@ Baekwolhyang <<< Please invite me.]" "[Is there space for 10?]" "[The competition ratio is a whopping 2000:1.]" "[How does the viewer participation work??]" "Isn’t it like anyone can join if I make it a public party? I’ll just make it public and let people in on a first-come, first-served basis." "That sounds like a hassle-free and neat way to do it." "Alright, then I’ll set up a public party. If you want to join me in raiding the Forgotten God’s Temple, come into the party right now!" As soon as the words left my mouth, the party filled up in a rush. - Nightcake: Nice nice ^^ - Liverate: Wow, this actually works, crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ - Scotch 35: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Unlike the party chat filled with joy and relief, the broadcast chat was brimming with anger and despair. [Ah, damn, so frustrating.] [What’s with the logging speed? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [This is tougher than ticketing.] [The server lagged out all of a sudden ㄷㄷㄷ.] [I couldn’t get in 'cause my computer’s so bad. Oh no....] "Don’t be too disappointed. Today isn’t the only chance. Unless the raid ends in a day, there will be opportunities again. What if it ends in a day...? Well, who knows? For now, my goal today is to successfully finish the raid." Even if we clear it, we might keep playing regularly or just occasionally, or maybe we’ll never play Fantasia again. One thing’s for sure, though: if we clear it today, I plan to log off. [Please, let us fail the raid.] [If we fail, let’s replace some members and recruit new ones ㅇㅇ.] [We can just find the culprits, kick them, and recruit new ones.] "But honestly, this has a real difficulty level, so I think a lot of people mess up." "I can’t really tell how hard it is just by hearing about it. Oh, by the way, do we really not need Discord? For now, you guys are all listening to my stream, right? I’ll just talk and if it gets necessary later, we can chat while doing it." "Can we skip the nose-picking? By the way, are you all listening to my broadcast? I'll just talk for now, and if I feel the need for a serious chat later, we can do that." - Bamyanggyung: "Yep, got it!" - KayakLoveDog: "Confirmed." "Except for me, everyone participating in the raid is just an ordinary person. Please refrain from excessive criticism. Let's support each other as viewers. That’s all for the warnings. Now, let’s start the raid right away." With a heart full of anticipation, I started the game. * The boss of the Forgotten God’s Temple, Akuntala, is a gimmicky boss. I had watched videos to see the exact patterns before starting the game, but I expected I’d need to get familiar with those patterns through trial and error. Simulation based on just videos and the actual fight are different in many ways. Considering the difficulty, I didn’t expect it to be a walk in the park. That expectation was only half right. We were currently struggling to progress through the raid. To be precise, we were stuck and hadn’t even made it to the boss room. Progress had come to a halt as we were stuck on the path to the boss room. [Click click... Click click...] [If you can’t do it this badly, maybe just drop out ^^ I was about to say that~] [No sense of timing... right?] [How are you all worse than the broadcast host who’s raiding for the first time?] [Looks like these folks are newbies too, lol] [This is so frustrating, damn it] [Come on, try harder] [We keep getting stuck because of a few people, lol] [Let’s just skip the last cheer] [Time for a team overhaul... it seems?] [Let’s go for Kayak’s exit show!] On the way to the boss room, we couldn’t get past the mid-boss, Ereb. - "You shall not pass a single step beyond here!" "Wave incoming, watch the colors and dodge. Oh no, like this..." - Bamyanggyung: "Sorry ㅠㅠ...." - Frappuccino: "I keep messing up;; my bad;;" Team members were getting swept away again by Ereb’s skills. We couldn’t keep going like this. "It seems our fate ends here." Now was the time for a bold decision. If I hesitated at all, we’d be stuck here all night. "I’ll recruit new members. I’ll create a new party, so please join again."
