The advertisement has successfully concluded.
Both from my perspective and from Envision’s, we achieved a result that everyone can be satisfied with.
-Envision throws down the gauntlet, making a successful comeback with the new game ‘Island.’
-The industry’s hidden gem Envision says, “We will prove it with results,” with the simultaneous viewer count for the advertisement surpassing 300,000…
-When will Envision’s highly anticipated collaboration with Higher Games for the release of Island take place?
According to the viewers, at one moment, my broadcast’s viewership exceeded 50,000. If my broadcast is like this, you can imagine how the game company that entrusted me with the advertisement must feel.
I don’t know if Envision had a hand in it, but already positive articles have been pouring out like a flood.
Everyone was clearly paying attention, pretending not to, regarding the potential box office success of Island, which might be Envision’s last spark.
Perhaps it was because I successfully kindled that flame. After the advertisement ended, I received a string of emoticons filled with big smiles and various words of thanks from the person in charge of the advertisement.
They were overflowing with words about how the ad concluded successfully thanks to me, and that they could let more people know about Island’s allure. I felt a bit overwhelmed with gratitude, having benefited greatly myself.
“That’s great to hear.”
Envision’s successful comeback is something I’m quite pleased about as well.
Once a giant in the industry, the more fun games I can play as a comprehensive game streamer, the better.
[Envision is coming ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[I thought it would crash and burn when they did PR on X]
[Honestly, Kayak saved the day ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[For real, if the host hadn’t been calm and waited like others, the ad would’ve totally flopped]
[It was a time to reaffirm Kayak’s combat power]
[The first Taker’s victory is a legendary moment ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Winning with 0 kills is a bit lame]
[We should give penalties to those who wait without fighting]
[They really made a good game]
[If we just slightly adjust it so that those who wait aren’t too advantaged, it should be fine]
[Are we not catching up to Abyss? ㅋㅋ]
[Because the genres are different in the first place…]
[Eonix has to get to work too, right?]
[Hurry up and release the RPG version of Abyss and the survival version of Abyss, lol]
“It wasn’t bad, not just flattery. I was ready to say it was mediocre if it was, but it was surprisingly fun. If they just pay attention to the balancing… I think it would still be fun to play occasionally later on.”
While sharing my brief thoughts on the advertisement and chatting with the viewers,
[Redox has donated 10,000 won!]
-Next week is already the fan meeting, hehe… I’m already excited to meet the Teacher.
[For real lol fan meeting is a must]
[Suddenly feeling really upset]
[Get out get out get out get out get out get out get out get out get out]
[Those who succeeded in ticketing will actually see me, so can’t they just not watch the broadcast?]
“Can’t I just forget about it?”
“Let’s make this our own space, right?”
“We even had an online fan meeting, yet complaints are everywhere, haha.”
“If you were so upset, you should’ve succeeded in ticketing.”
“I’m willing to live till 50. If anyone suddenly can’t go to the fan meeting, please DM me.”
This was a conversation about the fan meeting.
“Speaking of which, the fan meeting is next week. Next week… next week…”
Wait, next week?
“Ah.”
A gasp of realization burst forth.
“Did you seriously forget about it?”
“How could you forget something like this?”
“Legendary memory skills, huh?”
“I get it; you’ve got a lot on your plate these days.”
“I’ve been forgetting too many things lately… Is something going on?”
“Frequent drinking causes young dementia, they say.”
“The broadcast host probably wasn’t really looking forward to the fan meeting, right?”
“I feel like I wouldn’t be excited either, haha.”
“Going to meet people who just sit at home doing nothing but watching broadcasts? Wouldn’t it be thrilling? Ah, haha.”
“But once you’re at the venue, you’ll surprise us, right? I believe in that.”
“It’s a Kayak-style surprise event, anyway.”
“Forget? Nope, I totally remembered! I was just counting down the days until the fan meeting.”
But she had forgotten.

“This is Yusia, who contacted you about the venue for the last fan meeting. I’m reaching out again for confirmation. Yes, Saturday at 2 PM.”
One morning, Yusia was on the phone, gripping her mobile tightly.
She was speaking to a representative of the art hall, the fan meeting venue. The date and place were already set. The fan meeting was just a few days away.
Still, Yusia was being extraordinarily cautious, double-checking with the representative.
It was a huge event; the fan meeting of Kayak was no small affair. The scale alone and the fact that Yusia was the editor made it an unmissable event.
“I just hope it goes smoothly.”
That was the reason why Yusia was preparing so diligently for the fan meeting. Being the first fan meeting in Kayak’s broadcast history, she wanted everything to go perfectly through thorough preparation—a promise she made to herself.
Beside her, another editor, Kim Jae-jun, was assisting Yusia with other tasks.
He was organizing all the inquiries from those who had won tickets about how to get to the art hall, parking spaces, and more, sending each answer one by one via text.
Their work had long surpassed the role of a mere streamer’s editor.
In fact, whenever they connected with other broadcast editors and talked, they were often surprised at how much their counterparts did.
They were handling everything from video editing to various odd jobs related to Kayak. This included external events like the fan meeting.
It was hardly different from the work of a manager or lead staff, yet they held no significant complaints. After all, both were loyal fans and dedicated employees who held a strong fondness for the person Kayak.
The work wasn’t much different from that of a manager, yet they held little discontent. After all, both were fans and loyal employees who had a great fondness for the person known as Kayak.
Recently, as the workload increased, Kayak had begun to offer financial rewards and other perks, but it wasn’t merely for niceties that they worked so hard.
In fact, the two were just happy they could be of help to Kayak.
“I just got a message that they forgot about it.”
“They’re surprisingly scatterbrained, aren’t they?”
Despite their outward appearance, Kayak was surprisingly clumsy and forgetful.
It was something Yusia and Jin hadn’t known until they started working as Kayak’s editors.
The humanity and small flaws one can find in a seemingly perfect person. If it had been someone else, they might have felt disappointed, but not them.
Having already established a deep connection with Kayak, they found those little quirks endearing.
It was a side of Kayak—secretive and within reach only by those around, an inner self that didn’t show on broadcast.
Yusia and Jin could immerse themselves in work, feeling a subtle sense of satisfaction. Employee satisfaction at its peak!
The ongoing rivalry with other colleagues echoed the same sentiments. Both wished to contribute more to Kayak and to be recognized over other editors.
Even the preparations for the fan meeting had their competitive edge.

“I… I hope I haven’t been overly making you two work…”
“Oh, not at all!”
“What are you talking about? We enjoy doing it!”
“Still, this must have been quite a task…”
“You should focus on the broadcast, Boss.”
The fan meeting was just around the corner, happening the very next day.
Right now, I was visiting the venue with my editors. Should I call it a reconnaissance? Whatever the term, it felt like that, yes.
With large events like the fan meeting, there were numerous non-broadcast-related details to attend to, and it seemed to keep the streamers and takers busy.
However, I had been preparing for the fan meeting quite comfortably, nearly without any effort at all. Truthfully, I hadn’t done much preparing.
Most of my involvement consisted of responding to Yusia and Jin’s updates—like “Is this okay?” or “Can we do it this way?”—so I could hardly claim to have done anything at all.
Thanks to that, I had the luxury of time to keep consistently broadcasting without breaks. Yet, whenever I wanted to reward them, they asked for nothing, leaving me in a bit of a dilemma.
“Oh…”
Upon arriving at the fan meeting venue, Prime Art Hall, I couldn’t help but be amazed.
Passing through a long corridor, I spotted four entrances leading into a large auditorium-like space. The areas inside were already beautifully decorated, and it was just stunning.
Four entrances, and inside was a space resembling a grand performance hall. The interior was already beautifully decorated.
“Streamer Kayak Fan Meeting” was boldly inscribed at the front with the Twitch logo.
The inside was neatly arranged. The basic color was white, accented with bright sky blue here and there. Just from the color scheme, it was obvious. It represented Camilla’s personal color.
“I’ve decorated it like this, do you like it?”
“Yes, it looks super refreshing and clean. I absolutely love it!”
I looked around the hall, nodding in satisfaction. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this nice.
When I thought of fan meetings, all I imagined was just some signatures, handshakes, and hugs. I was simply amazed by the unexpectedly high quality.
“This isn’t the end; there’s more prepared!”
“More?”
What could it be? Normally, I wouldn’t have expected much, but seeing this made me curious. As I looked at Kim Jae-jun with anticipation, he gave a meaningful smile and pulled something out.
“Alright, come on out!”
It was a small remote control. As Kim Jae-jun pressed a button on the remote, something started descending from the ceiling.
It was a rectangular banner covered in various words and pictures on a pure white cloth.
The peculiar part was that my face was plastered all over it.
“Congratulations on the Kayak Fan Meeting!” was written in huge letters, accompanied by photos of me beaming and puffy-cheeked, making me wonder where all those pictures even came from.
The high expectations quickly fizzled out. This was… a bit too much cliché. I wasn’t a celebrity. This was the kind of banner you’d expect at an idol’s fan meeting.
“Ah…”
“What do you think? My masterpiece that I custom ordered! The key point is how densely packed it is! Especially that ‘Kayak with a disdainful expression’ in the upper right corner—”
“Let’s skip that one, okay? No matter how I think about it, it has to go.”
“Ah…”
Kim Jae-jun’s face fell, but it couldn’t be helped. It seemed like I’d have to sit right under that banner. Facing viewers with something like that above my head would genuinely make me want to disappear.
Kim Jae-jun nodded gloomily, and Yusia, who was next to him, added,
“Right? The boss doesn’t like those kinds of things.”
