Chapter 52: “Goodness rewarded, evil punished (Revision completed)”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

[Omniscient Cthulhu: People like that…]

[Omniscient Cthulhu: That’s right.]

[Omniscient Cthulhu: I really want to strangle people like that, but if you entertain them, it feels worse, haha.]

[Hwanhee: Let’s not curse and get banned. 😅]

[One word, harshly. People like that need to be taught a lesson.]

In the chat, they were urging me to say something sharp to Lee Sin, but I wasn’t very good at doing that. I guess you could say I was afraid of getting sued.

That’s why I decided not to curse and instead used sarcasm.

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: Those kinds of people…

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: It’s unfortunate… 😢

A moderate amount of sarcasm.

If I kept going, Lee Sin might stop playing, so I just left it at that. It was enough to make my point without going too far.

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: Don’t be sarcastic.

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: Just curse already, don’t be like a little b*tch.

“Oh no, I used a curse word.”

Since Lee Sin cursed, there’s a high chance that he’ll be banned.

Using the word “b*tch” in the game… It’s a derogatory term that shows no consideration for the LGBTQ+ community.

So, I decided to respond.

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: If I curse, it will be my loss, but Lee Sin already cursed, so if I don’t curse, I’ll avoid a ban while Lee Sin, who used foul language, will likely get banned instead. I don’t think I will curse… 😢

“I really don’t have any reason to curse.”

I wanted to play the game comfortably without getting banned.

If I got banned, I would have to create a new account, and that would be a hassle. It’s better to be careful with how I act.

[Omniscient Cthulhu: That’s true, haha.]

[That’s what I’m saying.]

[Why should I curse, haha.]

[Yeah, you curse all you want, I’ll report you. 😆]

[Hwanhee: Do you think that will actually get him banned?]

[Honestly, I don’t think he’ll get banned, since he didn’t curse too severely.]

[He said “b*tch,” but he didn’t mean it as an insult.]

[But since he added the “b*tch” part, how is that not an insult?]

[Kang Hoomin: Can’t we just do ‘private sanctions’?]

“Don’t talk about nonsense like ‘private sanctions.’”

Unless the person is a criminal, I don’t like the idea of taking matters into my own hands in the game just because someone picked a fight. It could backfire on me later.

Better to be cautious.

“Well, I guess… if it’s something personal, I can’t really stop you, but let’s all try to avoid doing stuff like that.”

[Omniscient Cthulhu: Ah, haha.]

[You mean like that?]

[Haha, of course, I won’t.]

[Hwanhee: Just trust us.]

[We’ll never do anything like that. 😂]

[Trust us, you jerk.]

[Kang Hoomin here: Mission accepted.]

I really hope people stop doing stuff like that.

I might get cursed at for no reason.

Thinking about that, I continued playing the game.

Then…

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: No way.

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: Someone keeps whispering me.

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: It’s really pissing me off.

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: Who is it?

In Leore, you can’t adjust whisper settings while playing the game.

So, it meant I would have to endure the whispering until the game ended.

“What’s going on, suddenly getting whispered at? What is this?”

I’m sure I told my viewers not to do that, so they wouldn’t.

I really wondered who was doing it.

Even though I said not to, there shouldn’t be anyone intentionally doing this.

What kind of malicious people would do something like that?

Even though we just fought, I felt a bit sorry and typed in the chat.

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: Why is Lee Sin getting this kind of attack?

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: What did he do to deserve this? 😢

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: Please, everyone, don’t do this.

A little while after sending that, I saw:

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: Who spread my ID?

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: I’m getting whispers to the point where it’s hard to play.

[Ally][coocoo][Lee Sin]: This is really messed up.

Lee Sin began to show signs of extreme anxiety.

I could understand why.

Getting bombarded with whispers like that would make it hard to play.

[Ally][UncoveringLondon’sSecret][Varus]: pff

With that last chat, I blocked Lee Sin.

His life is his own to live.

There’s no reason for me to worry about it.

“Ah, we won.”

Maybe because I was ahead from the start of the game with the purple-skinned archer, the game felt really easy.

Of course, Lee Sin messed things up a few times, but we still won, so that’s what matters.

[Omniscient Cthulhu: We could’ve won this game.]

[Omniscient Cthulhu: Lee Sin gave away so many kills.]

[There were a lot of idiots who gave away kills, but we still won, so that’s something.]

[This is it, this is it.]

[Hwanhee: It’s a shame we couldn’t see Lee Sin’s reaction after I blocked him. haha.]

[If I hadn’t blocked Lee Sin, the viewers would’ve been agitated, and we’d have suffered even more.]

[Kang Hoomin here: What the heck are you talking about? The whispering came from other people.]

[Oh, right. haha.]

[Got confused.]

Just as I was thinking about starting the next game, I heard a sound: Ding!

Someone added me as a friend.

Even without checking the nickname, I had a pretty good idea of who it was.

“Should I accept it or not?”

I could roughly guess what he was going to say.

He was probably going to throw a bunch of insults.

But…

‘This might be fun?’

It seemed like it would be fun.

It could definitely provide some entertainment for the stream.

So, I accepted the friend request.

A little while later…

[coocoo: Hey.]

[coocoo: I looked it up, you’re the guy streaming.]

[coocoo: Just get ready for things to go to shit from now on.]

[coocoo: You’re done. haha.]

“Eh.”

I was a bit taken aback.

They suddenly add me as a friend and then say, “You’re done.”

It was such a low-level villain line that I couldn’t tell if they were serious or joking.

[UncoveringLondon’sSecret: Oh, yep.]

So, I replied and immediately deleted them from my friend list.

Even if it was a joke, it wasn’t funny, and I didn’t think it would be good for the stream either.

[Omniscient Cthulhu: What kind of herbivore is that?]

[You’re done. haha.]

[Get ready for things to go to shit, you jerk. haha.]

[Hwanhee: Seriously, what’s up with that guy?]

[Hmm…]

[Don’t bother with people like that. You’re just going to end up getting hurt.]

Maybe it was because Lee Sin was making unfunny jokes.

But I kept feeling uneasy, so I continued with the game.

As I kept playing, I thought…

“Ah, by the way, I wonder what Lee Sin’s tier is right now?”

I was curious about Lee Sin’s tier.

He had been talking to me earlier, so I wondered how his tier had turned out now.

[Hmm, I’m curious.]

[What will it be?]

[What do you mean, it’ll probably be fine. haha.]

Omniscient Cthulhu: Please, just be at the bottom. haha.]

[I don’t think his tier is going to be that different.]

[Let’s see.]

I opened the stats checking website and entered Lee Sin’s nickname.

[coocoo]

It was a simple nickname, so I still remembered it.

I typed it in, and Lee Sin’s tier was revealed.

[coocoo – Diamond 3, 75 LP]

“Oh, he got demoted.”

[Omniscient Cthulhu: That’s it. haha.]

[Demotion shot.]

[Justice is served, haha…]

[That’s what you get.]

[From Diamond 2, a brutal fall. haha.]

[Lee Sin, good job~]

[Hmm, this is what justice looks like.]

He got a suspension and his tier dropped.

For someone playing Leore, it’s fair to say he experienced the worst of it all.

I felt a bit sorry for him, but what could be done?

It’s all his karma.

Thinking that, I continued playing the game.

A few days passed, and now streaming became a part of my daily routine.

After work, I’d come home, turn on the stream, play some games, and chat.

But…

“I didn’t expect YouTube to grow like this.”

The YouTube channel I mentioned before, called ‘Haheu’, now had 1,000 subscribers.

Although that’s a small number compared to other channels, considering the previous subscriber count, it was quite a lot.

So I decided to give out a special reward.

L: You can monetize. I’ll allow it, so feel free to make videos from now on.

“FanTube… well, it’s fine if you monetize.”

I wasn’t running the YouTube channel myself.

I left a comment like that and checked my email.

It was the email I had written in the stream description, just in case any inquiries came in.

‘I don’t expect much.’

Who would send an email to a stream with only about 200 viewers?

Thinking that, I opened my email.

“Oh.

An unexpected proposal had arrived.

A proposal that could change the course of my streaming career.
