“Hyeonu, what is this?”
Sponsored Content
Late in the morning, there was a man who attacked the sweetly sleeping Hyeonu . It was Yeongchan . He had brought his tablet PC with him . On the PC screen, there was an image of a man wearing a mask and letters saying Masked Fighting King .
“What is it?” Hyeonu said groggily, having not completely woken up yet . He rubbed his eyes while looking at the tablet PC Yeongchan was holding out and answered Yeongchan's question casually, “My new content . ”
Then he stared at Yeongchan’s face, wondering if this was why Yeongchan woke him up .
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Yeongchan retorted, staring into Hyeonu’s eyes with eyes full of sadness .
Even so, Hyeonu wasn’t pushed . “Did you ask? If you had asked, I would’ve answered . ”
“Uh . . . ” Yeongchan had nothing to say . These words were invincible . There was no rebuttal .
“Understood . ” Yeongchan eventually turned around . He was like a defeated general on the battlefield . “They’ve already started promoting it . . . ”
Hyeonu was able to have a pleasant morning due to the good news he heard .
‘The board is becoming increasingly bigger . ’
Now there was no going back . He had to look in front of him .
“Okay, what should I say in today’s program?”
Hyeonu had a new problem .
“Hello, everyone . I am Alley Leader . ”
Today started with Hyeonu’s usual greetings . This was Hyeonu’s concept and Alley Leader’s persona . A skilled streamer—this was the Alley Leader that Hyeonu had thought of . Of course, the viewers didn’t think so .
-Show us a long broadcast today .
-Eight hours today~~~
-Nice to Meet You has gifted you 444 gold coins .
-What Are You Doing Today has gifted you 33 gold coins .
Hyeonu had considerably fewer broadcasts than other streamers . That’s why viewers were even more thirsty for Hyeonu’s live streams . It was common for people to stream four or seven times a week . Meanwhile, Hyeonu was different .
‘In any case, thinking of content is exhausting . I should save the ideas when I can . Let’s look into planning for the future . ’
Hyeonu aimed for scarcity . It was good to make money from streaming every day, but there would definitely be a limit at some point . No streamer would be able to last a long time doing this . The people who were called the best kept changing countless times in the duration of two years .
‘I have to continue for a long time . I have to pay off my debts and get revenge . ’
“Nice to Meet You, thank you for the 444 gold coins . I’m going to the comprehensive competition today . Thank you for the 33 gold coins . ”
-Wow! Finally going to the comprehensive competition . It seems you’re around level 100 .
-Will a new record be set today?
-What about the poor kids who will be coming out today? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Why are you laughing? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers comforted the unfortunate newbies who would participate in today’s comprehensive competition . Everyone was busy laughing, especially when they thought of those who would be defeated terribly after meeting Hyeonu in PvP .
“Today, I will do PvP, the magic power test, and achievements evaluation . ”
-By the way, what is Masked Fighting King?
-Is it just wearing a mask and appearing together?
-Who will appear?
“I’ll tell you about Masked Fighting King at the end of the comprehensive competition . If you’re curious, don’t miss it . Hahat!”

-Ah, this streamer personality . . .
-Ah, Alley Leader, please be merciful . . .
-I’m feeling dizzy . Please tell me quickly!
“Are you curious?”
-Yes .
-I’m really curious .
-Quickly say it or I’m out .
The viewers were really curious . What was Masked Fighting King? Who would appear in it? What would happen? The only thing that came out in the advertising was Alley Leader’s new content .
“If you are curious, give gold coins!” Hyeonu introduced the catchphrase of a comedian of the past, Heo Kyunghoon, to the viewers .
-Ah, really .
-When was this on-trend . . .
-Do you know it?
-It’s shocking . Alley Leader turns out to be in his 40s .
After hearing Hyeonu’s catchphrase, the viewers started chatting angrily . However, some people threw gold coins .
-I’m Curious has gifted you 5 gold coins .
-Tearful Eyes has gifted you 555 gold coins .
-Disclose it Now has gifted you 44 gold coins .
Hyeonu walked toward the comprehensive competition hall while accepting the gold coins . “Yes, thank you for the gold coins . Masked Fighting King will be at the end of today! I will reveal it to the public . Come and see the comprehensive competition!”
Hyeonu’s progress increased every day .
The huge Colosseum, artificially built for the competition, was crowded with players participating in the comprehensive competition today . In particular, players flocked once they heard that Alley Leader was going to participate today .
“Yes, hello . Yes, yes,” Hyeonu continued to greet the players who spoke to him .
‘Image management is essential . ’
It was a meticulously calculated act . Soon, Hyeonu was able to move through the large crowd and enter the comprehensive competition .
“Player Gang Hyeonu, you are invited to participate in the comprehensive competition . ”
“Yes, thank you . ”
-It is finally starting .
-Now it is the newbie slaughter mode .
-I don’t know who the 10 people are, but they’ll be stuffed for life .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It is terrible to lose, but I would cry if I got stuffed .
The audience just enjoyed it .
They were busy laughing at the 10 newbies who would meet Alley Leader and create a black history .
“Oh, I’ll take it easy today . I’m going to fight with this dagger . ”
Hyeonu looked at the chat room and pulled out the dagger as he had originally planned . It might seem a bit strange since it didn’t look sharp, but it was a rare item .

‘This is a 1,000 gold coin joke . ’
Despite being a fairly good item, Hyeonu was treating it like it was a bad item .
-Is it a new bluff?
-His pretentiousness has evolved every day . It is a disease .
-It is a confidence that comes from skill, not bluffing .
-By the way, why do we all feel it is a bluff? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The response from the viewers was good . Of course, it wasn’t all good . Even today, Hyeonu was given various nicknames such as Bluffing King, Bravado Captain, and so on .
“I will go to PvP first . ”
-Ah, too cruel .
-How can they play the arena if they are trampled on like this?
-I think they will stay away from the arena .
-An authentic trauma maker .
“Aack!”
It was a perfectly steady hand with no hesitation . There was a certain boldness while stabbing and a tenacity to not give up when he got injured, as well as the brutal breaking down of the opponent’s mentality and the domination of assassin players with a dagger . It was perfect .
This was Hyeonu . The players who were beaten went crazy . Unfortunately, they participated in the comprehensive competition and met Hyeonu . They made unforgettable memories . They would never forget this in their life .
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has won . ]
“How many matches have I fought now?”
-I’ve seen this scene nine times . It seems I’m cold-blooded .
-We are all cold-blooded . Not crazy .
“I’ve won nine times . This dagger is a better weapon than you might think . It is good to use . In the last game, I’ll do it with two swords . ”

The chat window was frightened by Hyeonu’s words . Everyone was united .
-Great . I can imagine it now . Is it just me?
-Me too . Think of stabbing with two swords .
-If it were me, I would give up .
-This is Alley Leader . It is crazy .
Hyeonu wasn’t concerned with the reaction of the viewers . One day, he would join Masked Fighting King . At that time, he would have to create another combat method to hide his identity .
‘Should I use a dagger? It is better than I thought . ’
Hyeonu’s last opponent was a magician, and he was trembling . The pathetic sight made everyone sad .
-Honestly, he should give up . . .
-Go and ask for a surrender .
-If you have a conscience, solve it with words .
Hyeonu couldn’t wield his sword against such an opponent, so he invited this person to surrender . “Would you like to surrender?”
“Y . . . Yes,” the magician responded like he had been waiting for it . He nodded . He nodded so much that Hyeonu was afraid he would break .
[The opposing player has surrendered . ]
[Player ‘Gang Hyeonu’ has won . ]
“Have a great time in Arena . ”
After seeing the message, Hyeonu said goodbye to the opposing magician . Hyeonu maintained his polite image to the end .
-Isn’t this a dual personality person?
-He changes when holding a blade .
-He is a good guy if he doesn’t fight .
-He isn’t a pretentious king but a devil .
However, Hyeonu’s image had already been hardened .
“Then I will go do the achievements evaluation . ”
-It has to be the solo raid . I’m actually looking forward to this the most .
-I didn’t expect anything from PvP in the first place . It makes no sense for a bronze medalist to fight here .
-It is at the level of an adult bullying a kid . . .
“You are going to be disappointed again . I know it all . You’re worried about me . ”
-Who is worried about you?
-I’m worried about the opponents you’ll meet . Right?
-Master of Drinking . ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ
Hyeonu quickly arrived at the site of the achievements evaluation as he communicated with the audience .
“Just put your hands on this stone slab,” a pretty female NPC taught him how to measure his achievements .
Hyeonu put his hand in the palm-shaped groove of the slab according to the explanation . The slab vibrated .
[We are evaluating your achievements . ]
“I’m curious about what will come out . I personally think it will be a unique rating . ”
-Too greedy . You should be virtuous .
-There are currently fewer than five people who have received a unique rating in the achievements evaluation .
-Why? You will definitely get a rare rating . Why unique? That would be really greedy .
-I rejoiced on my knees when I got a rare rating, only for someone to get unique . Well, I’m unique in my heart .
The viewers were outraged by Hyeonu’s words . His tone of voice was different than usual . It seemed to be resigned for something inadequate . This combination was enough to anger viewers .
[1%, 2%, 3% . . . 20% . . . . . . 90%, 100% . ]
[The achievements evaluation has been completed . ]
“The achievements measurement has been completed . Please confirm it . ”
“Yes . Thank you very much . ”
The female NPC announced that the achievements assessment was over . Simultaneously, a message window appeared in front of Hyeonu . Then everyone who read his message was speechless—Hyeonu and the viewers as well . All of them were shocked .
-Crazy . . .
-Is this rating real . . .
-Wow . . .
There were only words of admiration . They just admired the results . The overwhelming evaluation results came out .

An epic rating had emerged .
