Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13

Samurai Hearts – Reaction (1)

"You're insane—!"

That was the very first thing Seung-yeon shouted when she exited Observer Mode and saw Do-hyun.

The insult was so abrupt that Do-hyun blinked in confusion.

He was so taken aback that for a brief moment he even thought, "…Am I actually insane?" and almost agreed with her internally.

But he pulled himself together quickly.

"What are you even talking about, out of nowhere?"

"You crazy talent-monster!"

Seung-yeon yelled brightly, grinning ear to ear.

There was no exaggeration—she meant it.

To her, calling him a "talent-monster" wasn't even enough.In fact, that term was far too modest to describe him.

A spark flashed across her mind.

"No. You're not just a talent-monster. That's too common.You're a brand-new breed of talent demon— a New-Type!"

"Isn't that going a little too far?"

"Too far? TOO FAR?! Even after watching what you did? What do you all think, everyone?"

For once, Victoria is absolutely right

He's literally a New-Type talent demon.

I mean, you cannot deny it lol

Seeing the chat filled with nothing but agreement, Do-hyun's confusion deepened.

He had no basic knowledge of VR gaming.He had no idea just how insane the things he'd done were.

The fall of the Sword Star Kato—previously believed to be absolutely unbeatable in the tutorial.

That alone was enough to topple every game community on the internet.

But it didn't stop there.He had also:triggered ninja spawns that shouldn't appear until mid-chapter 1 unlocked a hidden challenge that had never been revealed before

AND all of this was broadcast live, frame by frame, to thousands.

This level of impact was so massive that the fact a Trickie TV admin showed up said everything.

"Do you know how many viewers my stream has right now? Fifty thousand! Fifty! Thousand! That's ten times my all-time record!"

"Fifty thousand? Why is it that many? You said you usually get like… two thousand?"

"I did! And now it's FIFTY THOUSAND! Why do you think all those people rushed in?They ALL came to see your insane physical performance! Do you not understand how huge that is?!"

Seung-yeon nearly exploded with excitement.

Fifty thousand viewers!

Her previous maximum was five thousand.This one stream alone brought in TEN TIMES that number.

And what drew them all here?

Do-hyun's absurd physical performance.

His battlefield massacre on the hill had already been clipped into dozens of highlights and spread to nearly every streamer on Trickie.

Streamers—even big corporate-backed ones—had started hosting Seung-yeon just so they could watch Do-hyun up close.

With all that hype piling up, fifty thousand viewers had gathered before anyone realized it.

"Is that… impressive?"

To Do-hyun, it just meant "a whole lot of people showed up."That was all.

He didn't know anything about streaming.

His cluelessness made Seung-yeon smack her chest in frustration.

"This isn't 'impressive.' This is ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY, UNDENIABLY INSANE!"

"I don't really… get it."

"Oh yeah? You don't get it? Fine—look at this."

The easiest unit of impact for human beings is money.

So, Seung-yeon reopened her donation window—she had paused it earlier—and displayed the donation log.

There were so many donations she couldn't even react to them anymore.

'HalfOfMyLife' donated ₩10,000!

[Your physical skills are crazy god-tier]

'GodGodGodGod' donated ₩5,000!

    :    :    :

'Fusia' donated ₩10,000!

[There's just no way I don't donate]

'DecaPyne' donated ₩50,000!

[Is he a streamer? Let me know]

Donations ranged from ₩1,000 to ₩100,000.

And the scary part?What she showed wasn't even all of it—donations were STILL pouring in nonstop.

Viewers had realized donations were enabled againand were spamming them like a thunderstorm.

New donations flooded in faster than she could read them.

This—THIS was the raw power of fifty thousand live viewers.

"Huh…"

Do-hyun was overwhelmed by the storm of donations flying across the screen.

Only then did he truly grasp how incredible his actions had been.

He had done something that made tens of thousands of strangers go wild.

Even though to him, it had only been—

because he was angry.

That is some insane donation firepower

Honestly after watching that, how can you not donate?

Same, if today were payday I'd have thrown money too

Seeing that Do-hyun finally understood the situation, Seung-yeon stared at him intently, eyes sparkling.

It was a look he had never once received from his sister.A look that made sweat form on his back.

"W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Little brother."

"Why is your voice suddenly all seductive? What are you trying to say?"

Her tone sent chills crawling up his spine.

Do-hyun instinctively stepped back.

And Seung-yeon stepped forward.

"Do you… want to stream with me?"

"…What?"

"We can talk about revenue split later. Let's become a family streaming duo—spicy-sister and sweet-brother edition.What do you think?"

"What do I think…?"

He only joined today's stream because he wanted a ₩100,000 allowance.

He had never once considered being a streamer.

Seeing his awkward expression, Seung-yeon quickly turned to the viewers instead.

"What about you all? How would you feel if my brother and I streamed together, even just for a while?"

A sibling duo stream? I'd watch the hell out of that

100k average viewers easily

They'd be a top-tier mega-streamer household, guaranteed

Little bro drives the bus, Victoria rides as chaos passenger = comedy gold

I support this 100%!

Viewers were overwhelmingly positive.

Long-time watchers loved the idea—a sibling who could "hard-carry" Victoria through their backseat-gaming frustration was perfectly welcome.

And after what Do-hyun had shown today,even if Victoria ate all the "plot potatoes,"he'd give viewers unlimited soda to wash it down.

The viewers who had flooded in after watching Do-hyun's clips were, of course, even more enthusiastic.

They were drawn in by Do-hyun's insane physical ability and talent.

Naturally, they wanted to keep watching him—whether it was a duo stream or something else didn't matter.As long as he was streaming, they were happy.

Seung-yeon shoved the chat window right in front of Do-hyun's face.

"Look at this. They're ALL welcoming the idea. You're going to throw these people away?You have to stream!"

"No, hey—look. Sis. How do you think someone who literally streamed for the first time in his life today is supposed to respond when told, 'Let's become streamers together'?"

"He'd WANT to do it!"

Her answer shot out with zero hesitation.

Do-hyun clutched his head, feeling a headache coming on.

Seung-yeon pressed harder, rapid-firing words like a machine gun.

"Listen, I'm serious right now. You have potential. Real, scary potential. With your talent, NOT streaming would be stupidity of the highest order."

"What talent? I barely did anything."

"I told you already—you aren't even a 'talent-chung.' You're a talent monster. A monster! A completely new species of monster we've never seen before!"

She continued passionately, listing benefit after benefit of streaming.

Whether Do-hyun agreed or not could determine how much of the fifty-thousand viewers they could convert into regulars.

Of course she was being pushy.She had to be.

And she wasn't the only one being enthusiastic.

'★Kai' donated ₩100,000!

[Make a deal with me and become a streamer!]

'3MOON' donated ₩5,000!

[So where can I watch Kratos' personal stream?]

'LookingForFunStreams' donated ₩10,000!

[I heard if I donate here, a fun stream appears. Is that true?]

Admin is pushing his personal agenda lol

Kai's a hardcore Western otaku, of course he loves ninjas and samurai

If donating means Kratos keeps appearing, I'm donating immediately

Loyalty loyalty 

People who had fallen in love with Do-hyun's godlike performance began firing donations again.

Even Kai, the Trickie TV admin, was going wild.

It was so aggressive that Do-hyun could only shake his head.

"Okay, okay. Fine. I'll help you stream through the school break.After that… we can think about it."

"Deal. So during break, you're definitely streaming with me?"

"Only when I don't have something else to do."

"That's fine. On days you're busy, I'll just do other content."

After tugging and pulling for a while, they reached an agreement.

For now—during school vacation—Do-hyun would keep streaming with her.

Both siblings compromised a little, and the viewers were very pleased.

So it's confirmed for now

I'm subscribing immediately

Wow, followers and subs skyrocketing as soon as he said he'll appear

Honestly, I wasn't going to sub, but now I did lol

"So, what now? Are you gonna keep streaming like this?"

"Do we need to? I'm kinda exhausted."

"Knew it."

After going berserk like that, of course he was tired.

Seung-yeon saved the Samurai Hearts progress and then closed the game entirely.

She was making it clear:no more Samurai Hearts tonight.

Ahh, so it ends here today?

Too sad

Can't we watch just a bit more?

Realizing the stream was about to end, viewers began to protest loudly.

But Seung-yeon was firm.

She knew very well that with 50,000 viewers, this was a golden chance to climb even higher.

If she kept going, even with drop-off, she could definitely retain 30,000 viewers.

Some of them would stay long-term.

This was the path to becoming a top-tier, "big corporate" streamer.

But she had no intention of forcing her brother to keep going just for growth.

She didn't forget that this was his first VR experience, period.

Even though he did way too well for a first-timer, but still…

She let out a small laugh and began her usual closing remarks.

"Did everyone enjoy today's stream? I think I was just as shocked as all of you.Especially because I didn't know my little brother was this much of a talent monster."

You're ending way too soon 

Don't gooooo!!!!!

Nooo! Show us more of that insane physical ability!

The viewers tried to cling to her metaphorical pants, as usual.

In the early days she used to extend streams because of this,but that was years ago.

She'd long grown used to it.

Calmly, she continued:

"I'll prepare even more fun content and come back with an even better stream next time!Bye bye! See you! Bye-bye!Little brother, say goodbye to the viewers."

"Thank you for watching today. See you next time."

Big-bye… (Big-toria bye)

Kra-bye (Kratos bye)

See you in the next stream!

And with that, the stream ended.
