Chapter 64: “Mindless Giant Drop”

Raimtak: Shall we start setting a date for our after-party?

Hakchuchu: Oh, I was just about to ask the same thing.

Cheonhoon: What? We’re having an after-party?

Raimtak: Isn’t it a bit disappointing to just do an online drinking session? ㅠㅠ

Hakchuchu: We won the championship and even got prize money, so we should have a proper gathering.

Hakchuchu: I noticed other teams have all met up at least once.

Hakchuchu: Cheonhoon, are you not interested?

Cheonhoon: No, it’s not that.

Cheonhoon: I just didn’t think we were doing one.

Cheonhoon: Since no one mentioned it, I assumed we were skipping it.

Raimtak: Of course, we have to!

Raimtak: Definitely!

Hakchuchu: Let’s find a place with a good vibe and a nice atmosphere.

Lee Hangang: Will the location be in Seoul?

Raimtak: Probably.

Raimtak: Everyone except me lives in the Seoul-Gyeonggi area, right?

Hakchuchu: Where did you say your home is, Raimtak?

Raimtak: I’m in Cheonan! Chungcheong Province!

Lee Hangang: That’s not too far from Seoul.

Raimtak: Yeah, it’s fine.

Raimtak: If I drive, I can get there quickly.

Raimtak: The only issue is when I drink.

Lee Hangang: If you drink, you can crash at my place.

Raimtak: Then I’ll take you up on that offer!

Hakchuchu: So drinking is pretty much a given, right?

Hakchuchu: I’m going to have a drink with Riyang and Kayak, for sure.

Ririyang_: Oh, sounds good.

Ririyang_: Haha… I’m looking forward to it.

Lee Hangang: Alright, then I’ll assume everyone is coming.

Lee Hangang: Kayak hasn’t responded yet.

Lee Hangang: He hasn’t even read the messages.

Lee Hangang: Is he still sleeping?

Ririyang_: He is on a break today…

Raimtak: But I don’t think he’d still be sleeping by now.

Raimtak: Hmm.

Ririyang_: Maybe he’s busy with something?

[“No, you can’t play it like that.”]

[“Hmm… maybe try someone other than Camilla.”]

[“Lol, Camilla is way too hard for newbies.”]

[“It’s like asking someone who can’t even walk to start running.”]

[“But the Chairman loves Camilla the most…”]

-“Sigh…”

On the screen, a virtual avatar hung its head, looking dejected.

The way its eyes darted around showed it was feeling self-conscious.

It was understandable.

By now, they’d lost count of how many times they had been defeated—enough to make tracking the losses feel pointless.

The viewers’ reactions were inevitable.

For them, it was probably dull to keep watching such repeated failures.

I, with my past experiences, could tell that Harim’s skills were slowly improving.

However, for the audience, it might have looked hopeless.

Even now, a good opportunity for engagement had presented itself.

Following my coaching through chat, Harim took an appropriate position, waiting for the perfect moment.

Finally, the fight broke out, and like a hawk diving for its prey, Harim soared, targeting the enemy’s core damage dealer…!

-“Ah, I pressed the wrong button. Ughhh, seriously!”

“ot.”

Does the host have no learning ability?

I almost typed that in the chat but managed to stop myself just in time.

Yep, newbies need encouragement, not criticism.

Definitely.

Still, it was a mistake that even I couldn’t help but sigh at.

Watching it live, I found it hard to understand.

The same mistake kept happening over and over.

Did Harim’s fingers have a different structure from everyone else’s?

Perhaps she needed to get more familiar with computer controls than the game itself.

I feel like I want to teach her step by step from the basics.

I want to hold her hand and show her how to click, how to use the Q skill, and how to use spells with long cooldowns in critical situations…

But, despite my feelings, the only thing I can do is one thing.

<CamillaFan has donated 1000 won!>

• You’re doing well ^^ You’ve improved a lot.
• …Really?

She asks again, looking incredulous.

[How can they keep sending donations after seeing this?]

[The host is truly a saint.]

[Crazy, the president of the beef stew association lol]

[Watching, I think it might be better to have her play something easier to control than Camilla…]

[Info: Camilla is one of the few heroes with a 5-star difficulty according to IONIX.]

It seems like the majority is ignoring the fact that it’s difficult.

I try to engage and respond as much as I can, but I can’t conduct the broadcast focusing only on myself.

As a streamer, this is something I understand well.

Moreover, I can’t always stay in Harim’s room.

Right now, since it’s a break day, it’s okay, but when I’m streaming and doing my own work, my time in her stream will naturally decrease.

In the end, I’ll have to pay attention to the majority’s opinion.

And that means, when I return to Harim’s stream, it wouldn’t be strange if she had stopped playing Camilla and switched to another hero.

Just imagining that is making me feel incredibly sad.

Thinking about Harim playing characters like Nixon or Jerome instead of the beautiful Camilla makes a part of my chest ache.

What should I do?

To change that future, which seems inevitable…

In short, I just need to make sure Harim continues to want to play Camilla.

For now, her interest seems sufficient, but the problem might be the reactions in the chat.

Is there a way to change the public opinion in a broadcast with only about 30 viewers?

One thought crossed my mind at that moment.

I know a group of people who cherish the newbies as much as I do, and who love Camilla just as much.

<When will this idiot of a character Camilla get a buff?>

I started playing this game 3 years ago after I came from another game, and it became my favorite.

How can they not buff her after 3 years?

Six new characters have come out, and three have been remade.

Has IONIX really given up on Camilla?

• Yeah, if you don’t like it, don’t play. There are plenty of people who will play even without you.
• I was about to get a buff, but then Kayak came back, haha.
• Yep, just like before, Kayak raised his stats by himself, so these idiots haven’t given her a buff.
• But lately, it’s the Camilla meta, so even without a buff, she’s usable, right?
• I think she does need a buff, but I have no idea where to start.

Bunny Girl Camilla Skin Release

The 0.1-second longer fear than other heroes, like an Easter egg, has been removed.

• Kya
• Eek eek~~
• The skill names are so funny haha
• Write down which one is Q, W, E; it’s hard to tell apart oo
• It’s just QWER in order
• Crazy person haha
• But the scarier thing is that even if they buff her now, it’s still not overpowered.
• What does the increase in base health when wearing the Blood Dress even mean?
• Camilla officially fits dresses well as part of her character lore.
• Haven’t they fixed that 0.1-second longer fear yet?
• Surprisingly, they haven’t fixed it because it’s part of the official lore…
• This guy is just using the buff request as an excuse and asking for skins instead.
• This guy is asking for three skins haha
• Camilla doesn’t have that many skins for a female character.
• Bunny girl skin is really tempting…
• Please release the office look too!

<How to Enjoy Camilla 200% in Abyss>

The map is the Berserk Cliff. It can be seen well in other places too, but this one is the best.

(A photo of a tree branch sticking out from the gap in the cliff.)

You can change the viewpoint by hanging there and looking down.

(A meme showing Camilla’s panties and butt clearly visible.)

Simple, right?

• Kya
• Thank you, thank you, thank you
• Are all Camilla players like this?
• I wonder what Kayak would think if he saw this…
• Kayak’s opinion
• Seriously, it’s hard to resist praising her… her butt and everything…
• I really want to praise her, lol
• IONIX must have made her like this on purpose, right?
• Camilla really fits. She’s a dancer by concept, and they made her so big, which must make dancing uncomfortable.

Camilla, a popular character in the game Abyss. The Camilla Minor Gallery, a place where discussions about her are the main focus, is full of activity.

Today, once again, discussions about Camilla continued peacefully.

<Would you like to watch the cute newbie stream playing Camilla?>

A post appeared that was slightly different from the usual.

It was just a typical broadcast promotion, nothing too special, but for some reason, comments started flooding in on this post.

• ??? Teacher?
• Kayak promoting a Hako stream?
• If you don’t want to die, turn on the stream.

It was the post’s author that attracted attention.

Kayak, known for being on break, unexpectedly logged into the gallery and, not just any gallery, but the Camilla Minor Gallery, to promote a specific broadcaster.

Whether it was a failed logout or just trolling doesn’t matter, but the post was one that couldn’t help but draw attention. Kayak held symbolic significance for Camilla players.

Just a few minutes after Kayak posted in the Camilla Minor Gallery,

• Why is the chat suddenly… like this?

[Let’s go~ Let’s go~ Let’s go~]

[Really bad, but so cute haha]

[The new player’s naughty smell… the naughty smell of a newbie…]

Here we are ^^ Is this the stream of the cute newbie that Kayak gave a shoutout to?]

[You have a nice avatar.]

Harim’s stream started to get crowded with people.
