Chapter 104

Countless broadcasting platforms exist on the internet.

Each streaming platform has its own distinctive atmosphere.

You could say it’s a unique style of each platform. I don’t know when it started, but it has now become half-set in stone. This platform feels like this, while that platform feels like that.

Because of this, streamers tended to find a comfortable platform that suited them.

Even on Twitch, where Camilla streams, there was a peculiar culture unique to the platform.

[Oh great, another annoying video clip]

[Come on, raise the donation rate a bit!]

[What the heck is this?]

[There was an Abyss version? LOL]

[You’re seriously bringing in all kinds of stuff!]

This was the video donation feature, also known as “video donations” or “영도.”

Video donations served as another avenue for communication between viewers and streamers.

Unlike simple sponsorships, viewers could explain something they knew or convey necessary information to the streamer through videos.

Viewers enjoyed playing their desired videos throughout the broadcast, sharing something with everyone, while streamers could react to them and earn money, which is always a win.

Of course, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

When streamers turned on video donations, sometimes the viewers’ attention would shift from the streamer to the videos, or occasionally a viewer would send inappropriate videos, causing chaos in the chat.

Just like right now.

-#TriggerWarning# Top 10 Strongest Abyss Heroes

-10th Place: The Strongest Gravekeeper, Lennok.

Epic background music began to play as Lennok’s illustration appeared on the screen.

Accompanied by an unreadable text, the entrance of the Abyss hero received a furious backlash from the viewers.

[What the heck, that’s my Lennok!]

[Who on earth made this crap?]

[-Seriously-]

[Only kids would like this video…]

[Lennok is only 10th?]

This was the stream of Han Kang. He was currently playing a popular card game perfect for featuring video donations, and absorbed in his game, he belatedly checked the shocking video donation that shocked his viewers.

-5th Place: The Winter’s Ruler, Queen Snowflower Camilla.

Just then, Camilla made her appearance.

Han Kang grinned as he took in the situation and opened his mouth.
Smiling, I opened my mouth.

“Why? It’s fun! Everything’s great, but you want me to space it out? Hmm… feels like they made it this way just to annoy people. By the way, Camilla’s ranked 5th? Camilla is super strong, huh?”

[Kayak’s clone, right?]

[If she’s dancing while killing everyone, it’s not going to be easy, right?]

[Camilla is ridiculously strong.]

[Our Mila is only 5th?]

[Abyss Expert donated 1,000 won!]

– Since she’s a demi-god, haha. She reincarnated into a human to spice things up because the divine realm was boring. Fighting while dancing is serious business; if she fought for real, other heroes would drop dead in one hit, so she’s just playing around.

“Yes, um… I see. Thank you for the good information. As expected from Abyss Expert, the information is top-notch…”

As a pro boxer and boxing champion, Juhwan Lim was quite surprised.

And it made sense, given the bizarre scene unfolding right in front of him.

‘Didn’t she say she’s never done any sports?’

He was pretty sure he heard that. But the way Kayak moved just moments ago was at a remarkable level.

It was the kind of movement unique to someone who exercises regularly. It felt like she had some innate athleticism.

‘Was she born with this coordination?’

Juhwan Lim is a pro. He’s been living with gloves on for over 20 years, so just the sound tells him everything.

That dull, explosive sound isn’t something beginners produce easily.

Especially not someone who’s never boxed before. You can only generate that kind of sound if you exert a certain amount of force with the proper stance.

For a beginner, especially a woman, even making the punching bag sway isn’t an easy task. There are countless ways to injure your wrist trying to hit harder or lose your balance and fall.

It wasn’t for nothing that Juhwan had given prior warnings. An Abyss streaming expert who had never shown any signs of working out on their broadcasts — he hadn’t had high expectations.

But with results like this, Juhwan couldn’t hide his delight. Somehow, he could already see the rise and fall of this V-Tube video.

“Didn’t you say it was your first time boxing? What you just did was at the level of kids who’ve been training at our gym for a few months.”

Kayak awkwardly responded.

“Um… actually, I went for about a month.”

A month! Did she really perfect that punch in just one month? Was it her talent, or was her coach that good?
Is the Coach really that impressive?

Just when Jun Hyun was about to ask if he knew her, or where she had learned to box, Yusia spoke up.

“I only jumped rope for a month and then quit.”

“…Excuse me?”

“They said my basic fitness wasn’t good enough to put on gloves. I got bored after jumping rope and running a bit…”

Jun Hyun stared closely at Kayak’s face, wondering if she was teasing him.

What’re the MZ kids up to these days? Didn’t he just fall for a prank from another VTuber and staff team? He was furious at first, not even realizing it was a prank, and then awkwardly realized how silly he’d been.

Kayak was no different. He heard she was around twenty? Twenty-one? Something like that. In that case, she was no different from the peak of today’s MZ generation.

However, there wasn’t a hint of deceit on Kayak’s face. Even when he made eye contact, her blue eyes just blinked, with no particular reaction.

‘Doesn’t seem like a lie…’

If that was true, then Kayak really had a knack for boxing. Essentially, a month of experience was almost nothing.

Someone who had never trained with anyone else and put on gloves for the first time produced such results.

Jun Hyun couldn’t help but admire her again.

And Kayak didn’t stop there.

“Can I hit it a few more times?”

“Uh? Ah, yes! Feel free to hit it. You can try your left and right, and if you want to hit a person, I can spar with you.”

“Um, that’s…”

Kayak awkwardly laughed and repositioned herself in front of the punching bag.

Bam-!

Then came a strike like a thunderbolt.

The hanging bag swung, and Yusia jumped at the louder sound. Meanwhile, Jun Hyun grinned widely.

After that, Kayak hit the bag several more times. Not just mimicking Jun Hyun’s stance, but as if she had a virtual opponent, constantly changing her posture and throwing punches.

There was no way anyone could think she was a beginner.

It didn’t matter that the concept of teaching boxing to a newbie was fundamentally flawed. After all, the video was sure to be a hit. After years in the VTuber life, he could already see that.

What Jun Hyun was more curious about was something else.

‘Based on her looks… is she mixed? Is that why she’s so strong?’

It was about Kayak’s background. She seemed to have exceptional physical specs, and he couldn’t help but wonder where that came from.
It seems like your basic physical specs are quite impressive, and now I’m curious about where that comes from.

However, Jun Hyun couldn’t satisfy my curiosity. The person in question was already having too much fun punching the sandbag.
