【1Jiho】 [What’s up with that bastard?]

1Jiho was the first to react. Han Jiho saw the chat but ignored it. He was too busy killing the enemies lingering in front of him.

【EchoThief】 [Huh? Why?]

【1Jiho】 [No, that “HealMeAlready” bastard is calling 98-nim a hacker?]

【WrigglingDdorak】 [Who’s calling him a hacker?]

[Server] HealMeAlready: lol you f*cking loser

[Server] cocogus2: ?

[Server] HealMeAlready: Look at these guys getting carried by a hacker lololol

[Server] HealMeAlready: Report HanJiHo98 [[[[ this punk

[Server] HealMeAlready: He’s using a blatant aimbot lol

[Server] HealMeAlready: Such a f*cking cheap hack lolololol

[Server] HealMeAlready: You broke bastard with no money lol

A blatant aimbot? Checking the chat window briefly, Han Jiho gave a snort of laughter. Even in that moment, his hands were steadily racking up kills.

The voices of his party members continued.

【WrigglingDdorak】 [Is he f*cking insane?]

【JunkCollectionMaster】 [What is he seeing that makes him call it a hack?]

【EchoThief】 [Who knows. It’s not like we haven’t seen those crazy bastards once or twice. They’re just the type where if things don’t go their way, everyone is a hacker.]

【JunkCollectionMaster】 [True. 98-nim was doing a bit too well, though.]

【ChaeChaehyun】 [98-nim. Should we just leave?]

At Chaehyun’s question, Han Jiho—who had briefly taken cover behind an object—quickly tapped on his keyboard. He couldn’t let the mood get ruined because of him.

[Party] HanJiHo98: it’s fine it’s fine lolol

[Party] HanJiHo98: I’m okay, so don’t worry about it

However, the chat window was becoming increasingly filthy.

[Server] HealMeAlready: Ah, f*cking disgusting lol

[Server] HealMeAlready: Die, you hacker f*ck lol

[Server] HealMeAlready: You bastards @ss-kissing the hacker should all die too lolololol it’s gonna get worn out lolol

[Server] 1Jiho: If you’re jealous, let’s just use our words, friend

[Server] 1Jiho: Don’t wail like a loser ㅠ

[Server] HealMeAlready: Bullsht lololol fck

[Server] 1Jiho: Just how few friends do you have ㅠ

[Server] 1Jiho: I’m actually getting upset for you ㅠ

[Server] HealMeAlready: U mad? lol

[Server] HealMeAlready: Why are you so worked up lol

[Server] 1Jiho: Feature of “U mad?”: the person saying it is the one most triggered

[Server] HealMeAlready: Fck off, you fcker lolololol

[Server] HealMeAlready: Bullsht, you crazy fck lolol

[Server] 1Jiho: Feature of getting worked up: the person saying it is the one most worked up

[Server] EchoThief: lolololololololol

[Server] cocogus2: Stop teasing him

[Server] cocogus2: You shouldn’t tease losers

[Server] Fresh-Bachelor-Kimchi: You f*cking bastard, just play the game instead of tapping on your keyboard, you moron

[Server] Fresh-Bachelor-Kimchi: We’re losing so f*cking hard and you’re complaining about hacks, you idiot

[Server] TeamCaptain: This bastard using a “too-bad-to-be-a-hack” hack sure talks a lot lololol

[Server] HealMeAlready: lolololololol

[Server] HealMeAlready: Okay, I’m throwing, bye losers bb

The “HealMeAlready” guy’s hack complaints could no longer be heard after the final insults from his own teammates. It was because he had rage-quit the game.

《HealMeAlready has left the game.》

[Server] Ddiyong-Ddayong: ah f*ck

[Server] Ddiyong-Ddayong: s

[Server] Ddiyong-Ddayong: h

[Server] Ddiyong-Ddayong: This sh*t sucks lolololololol

[Server] Fresh-Bachelor-Kimchi: You f*cking idiot, ah

[Server] cranberry: lol

《Ddiyong-Ddayong has left the game.》

《TeamCaptain has left the game.》

《Fresh-Bachelor-Kimchi has left the game.》

《cranberry has left the game.》

[Server] RedPepperPastePorkBelly: ..

Like that, the rest of the teammates also chose to quit, and the game fell apart. The only one left was a single user who had been running around diligently on his own gathering energy.

Seeing that all his teammates had left, RedPepperPastePorkBelly ran up in front of Han Jiho and performed a kneeling emote. It looked like a desperate plea.

[Server] RedPepperPastePorkBelly: Hey

[Server] RedPepperPastePorkBelly: Please have mercy just once

[Server] RedPepperPastePorkBelly: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

At a scene he had witnessed countless times even in Xenoforce, Han Jiho let out a short sigh. Wherever you go, only the hardworking users are pitiful.

[Party] HanJiHo98: Should we take it easy on him?

[Party] HanJiHo98: He’s pitiful…

【1Jiho】 [It is a bit like that.]

【EchoThief】 [I don’t care. I’m just gonna report that bastard from earlier.]

【WrigglingDdorak】 [Me too.]

【ChaeChaehyun】 [If 98-nim is okay with it, I’m okay too.]

At Chaehyun’s slowly trailing words, 1Jiho made a retching sound, and Ggomjirak pretended not to hear and sneezed. EchoThief and JunkCollectionMaster didn’t react at all.

[Party] JunkCollectionMaster: Let’s just finish quickly and regame go go

[Party] 1Jiho: Okay

[Server] 1Jiho: Hey

[Server] 1Jiho: Go to the center go go

[Server] 1Jiho: Take all the energy

[Server] RedPepperPastePorkBelly: Whoa

[Server] RedPepperPastePorkBelly: Thank you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Thus, the sixth game ended with them conceding the victory to the pitiful, solitary enemy.

But the problem didn’t end there. The nickname of one of the users on the enemy team they met in the seventh game was unusual.

【EchoThief】 [Ah, f*ck. It’s Hepari. That bastard is probably streaming.]

【1Jiho】 [Should we regame? I feel like we’re definitely going to be publicly shamed.]

【JunkCollectionMaster】 [I don’t care. Looking at his videos, he’s f*cking terrible.]

【WrigglingDdorak】 [Oh, right. He really was bad. But doesn’t he have over ten thousand subscribers?]

【1Jiho】 [Probably?]

【EchoThief】 [Wow, ten thousand people watch a guy like that? I seriously don’t get it. Anyway, there are so many insane bastards.]

Hepari?

Han Jiho, having opened the scoreboard, checked the user with the nickname “[MT]Hepari.” “MT” was short for Mitube, a nametag primarily used by streamers who streamed there.

“…”

He wore an unenthusiastic expression and tapped on the keyboard out of habit.

Based on long experience, users with those kinds of nametags had a very high probability of being weirdos. He didn’t know the exact reason, but it seemed the title of “streamer” made people’s minds a bit strange.

Just looking at the reactions of EchoThief and 1Jiho proved it. Judging by how they detested him, it was clear he was a streamer with a fair amount of notoriety, even if Han Jiho didn’t know him well.

【1Jiho】 [Ah, 98-nim probably doesn’t know. He’s an EOI streamer, and he’s famous for having a rotten personality. He’s a guy who gets a lot of hate because he trolls if things don’t go his way and publicly shames users on Mitube.]

[Party] HanJiHo98: Ah, really? ;;;

[Party] HanJiHo98: What a psycho.

【WrigglingDdorak】 [He’s just a guy who’s a “king in his own room.” He acts like a bully in a group.]

【EchoThief】 [That’s why even Chaehyun got shamed before.]

【ChaeChaehyun】 [Hey. Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?]

At the unexpected story that suddenly popped out, Han Jiho’s eyes went wide. He couldn’t believe it.

[Party] HanJiHo98: For real???

[Party] HanJiHo98: Why???

【JunkCollectionMaster】 [When was that. Was it last Halloween? Ah, that was seriously funny.]

【EchoThief】 [Yeah, right. It was last Halloween. An event Hide-and-Seek mode was open for Halloween then, right? Chaehyun was the tagger, and he found everyone so well because he had the whole map memorized.]

【ChaeChaehyun】 [Ah…]

Chaehyun let out a groan in a low voice. It was a voice tinged with slight annoyance. But no one cared. Not even Han Jiho. He was already preoccupied with the interesting story in front of him.

[Party] HanJiHo98: Oh… lolol

[Party] HanJiHo98: And then?

【1Jiho】 [I seriously thought Chaehyun-hyung was a genius back then.]

【ChaeChaehyun】 [So you’re saying I’m not now?]

【1Jiho】 [No, you are a genius, but well, a bit… can I exercise my right to remain silent?]

【ChaeChaehyun】 [Do you think you can?]

【1Jiho】 [Hyuuuuung.]

【EchoThief】 [Ah, shut up for a second. I’m explaining it to 98-nim. Anyway, back then his capture rate was legit one hundred percent, and he happened to play a game with that Hepari bastard. But since Chaehyun found him every single time he hid, that bastard started throwing a fit, asking if he was stream-sniping.]

Thinking about that time, EchoThief—who was still incredulous—let out a hollow laugh. Others were also snorting and chuckling. From the looks of it, it was something that happened while they were playing together.

【1Jiho】 [He was like, “Do you know who I am?” and even threatened him, saying if he put his mind to it, making it so you couldn’t play the game would be a piece of cake.]

[Party] HanJiHo98: Whoa lolol

[Party] HanJiHo98: How old is he that he makes such childish threats lolol

【WrigglingDdorak】 [He’s probably over thirty. I don’t know why he wants to act like that at that age, the psycho.]

【EchoThief】 [Ah, exactly. But back then Chaehyun didn’t react at all. So the guy went crazy by himself, went on a rampage, and legit publicly shamed him.]

【JunkCollectionMaster】 [The thumbnail text for that was legendary. What was it again? “Gotcha, elementary kid”? It was f*cking funny.]

【1Jiho】 [Ah, more accurately, it was “Gotcha! I gave a proper education to this stream-sniping elementary kid.”]
