The overall flow of the game was bizarre.
First of all, all the special items they acquired went to Aria, the supporter character.
Aria wasn't a character without damage, but she was fundamentally a supporter who played music to grant shields to allies or heal them.
Naturally, her efficiency was bound to be worse than the other characters.
In contrast, the assassin character Heo Taegyun was playing,
H, was a character highly dependent on items.
If lacking items, they might end up getting assassinated while trying to assassinate someone else.
'Still, it's a normal game, so it probably doesn't matter.'
He forced himself to think so.
However, in this state, achieving first place—today's stream goal—honestly seemed unlikely.
Her mechanics seemed good, but making such bizarre decisions...
But then.
'...What?'
About 20 minutes had passed since the game started.
Heo Taegyun realized it.
'Why are we keep winning?'
By the time he came to his senses, only 3 teams remained.
Out of a total of eight teams, only three were left.
Moreover, their party hadn't just aimlessly survived up to this point either.
- Wow fuck, she's a total tank;
- They just get crushed to death when they collide LMAO
- Joo Seoyeon is Diamond tier? This?
- Did the actress not act and only play games?
Actually, there was no need to think far for the reason.
It was simply because they won every single engagement.
Well, that was bound to happen.
First of all, Heo Taegyun's tier was Eternity, so it wouldn't be strange for him to be able to massacre players in a normal game.
However, even then, it wasn't at a level where he could kill all the enemies alone.
'She might be lacking in other things, but she's seriously good at team fights...'
Such admiration naturally spilled out.
Seoyeon might roughly gauge her entry angles, but she never fought roughly.
She dodged most of the non-targeted skills and effectively dove the character on the enemy team that needed to be killed first.
On top of that, what was surprising was that Aria, who had her items completed first, performed better than expected.
With her items done, she could deal damage and provide support.
'Was she called Ramiel?'
Heo Taegyun thought as he looked at the character of the Virtual YouTuber who wasn't present in this room.
She said her tier was Platinum, but her skills were above that.
More than anything, it showed that she had a lot of experience playing games.
"It's about time for Ackle to spawn, so let's test our luck."
Ackleris, a neutral monster that dropped items made of special materials and granted buffs upon being killed.
It was a monster that provided a huge advantage as the game entered its late stages.
Catching Ackle alone was practically equivalent to securing the win for this round!
- What's Ackle?
- I joined after the official release, so I don't know what Ackle is.
"Ah, as for what Ackle is. I'll explain it in detail."
It had only been a day since the official release.
Naturally, the new viewers who had just joined to watch the stream didn't know much.
Farming while naturally continuing his explanation, Heo Taegyun truly lived up to being a YouTuber with 700,000 subscribers.
'His stream hosting is smooth.'
Because she was mostly focused on Ramiel, she hadn't noticed until now, but Heo Taegyun's streaming skills were quite excellent.
Of course, he lacked a bit of an eye for talent since he failed to see Ramiel's true value, but his articulation was quite good.
'Ahem, this kind of thing is helpful.'
She often watched Ramiel's streams, but seeing a streamer hosting a live broadcast right next to her felt quite nice as well.
No, I can't just watch.
'I need to say something too.'
What did I say this game?
Seoyeon briefly recalled what she had said this match.
'Ramiel-nim, please take this.'
'Ramiel-nim, I will protect you.'
'Ramiel-nim...'
I only said exactly what was necessary.
However, it seemed like most of my conversations were related to Ramiel, so I should probably say something else too.
"Ah, mistake! I got caught. Over here, over here!!"
At that moment, Heo Taegyun's scream was heard.
Perhaps because he was focusing elsewhere while hosting the stream.
From a blind spot, the enemy tank dove in, and with a single strike, Heo Taegyun's H was launched into the air.
But fitting for an Eternity player, he escaped in an instant... or so he thought.
'There's one more team.'
Seoyeon, who was just about to move to save H, stopped in her tracks at the appearance of another team.
It was because the other team had come in to kill Ramiel's Aria of all targets.
"Uh, w-wait, you need to save me!"
"Then Ramiel-nim will die."
Wait, you're protecting the supporter instead of the dealer here?
"In this situation, rather than Ramiel-nim, you should save me..."
It's right to save the dealer rather than the supporter, right?
He was about to say that, but suddenly remembered the look Seoyeon gave him when he badmouthed Ramiel earlier.
'I'd rather die.'
Dying was better than that.
It wasn't just about this match, after all.
Heo Taegyun humbly accepted his death.
He managed to take down one enemy, but unfortunately died to the remaining two.
Since the enemy team even revived the fallen one, their losses were virtually non-existent.
- Wow, the match ends so pathetically
- This is why E-Cam is about getting fed and then getting one-shot if you let your guard down LMAO
- Still, as expected of an Eternity, he managed to kill one against three LMAO
- Joo Seoyeon LMAO, protect the dealer!
The chat was uploading similar comments.
Feeling empty, Heo Taegyun took his hands off the keyboard and looked to the side.
'No, why is she looking at me again.'
Is she blaming me for dying?
'It doesn't seem like that... don't tell me.'
Belatedly, Heo Taegyun realized.
Seoyeon looking at him meant that she wanted him to perform the role of 'landing crisp hits' as they had initially planned.
Since Seoyeon was to play the role of getting hit, it was a signal to utilize this timing.
'Ah, did she save Ramiel-nim instead of me because of that?'
Of course, that wasn't the case.
She just saved her because she thought Ramiel was more important.
But still.
"K-Khem. Seoyeon-nim, ah, right there, instead of me, you should have saved Ramiel-nim..."
The moment he said that.
A scene of the other team that had dived Ramiel being slaughtered 3 to 2 was captured on screen.
- ? What?
- No, Beakers is so fucking strong LMAO
- Look at them not dying because Aria keeps giving them shields LMAO
A mad movie scene suddenly popped up, making him stop talking.
'Couldn't she have saved me and killed them all like that?'
Such a thought crossed his mind, but he didn't bother to bring it up.
Seoyeon's Beakers, who had performed so spectacularly, unfortunately ended up losing in the final fight.
It was possible in the previous fights due to the growth gap, but the final fight wasn't like that.
"Ah, what a shame. I thought we might get first place right in the first game."
Heo Taegyun clicked his tongue in regret.
However, there was still about an hour and a half left for the stream, so he figured they could easily get first place at this rate.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?"
"Can I speak a bit more in the next game too?"
At that moment, Seoyeon brought that up.
- Ah, she didn't talk much because Taegyun is the main?
- Taegyun is too much, at least talk to Seoyeon a bit
Words scolding Heo Taegyun also popped up in the chat.
Because in reality, most of the talking on the stream was done by Heo Taegyun.
Of course, Heo Taegyun felt unfairly treated.
"In the first place, Seoyeon-nim didn't really try to talk to me either, you know?"
- That's true LMAO Joo Seoyeon only talks to Ramiel LMAO
- Who is Ramiel that Joo Seoyeon is so obsessed with her?
- Joo Seoyeon was caught watching a VTuber on a Japanese stream, wasn't that Ramiel she was watching?
- No way LMAO
- If you zoom in, it seems like it is?
Consequently, the incident when Seoyeon went to Japan also became a topic.
At the time, she was caught watching a stream suspected to be a VTuber, and if you zoomed in on the screen, it looked exactly like Ramiel.
Reacting to the chat, Seoyeon nodded and said.
"That's right. If I were to explain this..."
"No way~. Please say that isn't true, Actor Joo Seoyeon. I'll die from the pressure."
Cutting off Seoyeon's words, Ramiel spoke.
Her tone was calm, but Seoyeon could feel it.
A strangely chilling sensation.
Lee Jiyeon wasn't very scary, but Ramiel getting angry was truly terrifying, so Seoyeon shook her head frantically.
"You could say it looks similar, but... it's not."
- Something's weird with what she's saying
- Hmm... suspicious.
Various opinions went back and forth regarding Ramiel, but since they had to continue the stream, they moved on.
"But, can I explain and talk about the game myself in the next match?"
"Ah, of course."
The next match began following that.
In this match, Seoyeon took over the hosting instead of Heo Taegyun.
'Listening to her speak, I'll be able to tell if she's hiding her tier or if she's a local.'
Seoyeon's tier was Diamond.
But from Heo Taegyun's perspective, Seoyeon's tier was higher than that.
Maybe she was hiding her tier for some reason?
Such a suspicion naturally arose.
Seoyeon, for her part.
'Alright, even if it's not a VTuber stream, it's my first broadcast!'
A chance to test her articulation!
Seoyeon was full of motivation and naturally continued speaking.
"Eternity Camp is very easy once you know how to play it a little."
- It's similar to LoL but feels completely different
- Isn't it just LoL without laning?
- It's a survival game so it also feels a bit like PUBG
"Yes, it's similar. Handling the characters is similar to LoL, but there's no laning and barely any strategy, so it's comfortable."
- No strategy?
- E-Cam's strategy is quite complex though? You need to know all the rotations.
"No, I'll show you right now."
Both Heo Taegyun and Ramiel were flustered by Seoyeon's words.
E-Cam definitely had strategy.
But she said there wasn't any.
For reference, Seoyeon picked a dealer this time.
She initially picked her favorite mage character, but.
"Seoyeon-nim, I think it would look cool if you played that axe-wielding character."
"Of course. I'm also good at Reki."
An axe-wielding murderer character.
Seoyeon completely fell for Ramiel's words and picked it.
'Not a mage, definitely not a mage.'
Ramiel breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
Seoyeon originally preferred mage classes.
In other words, she liked caster-type characters.
She knew this because she had played a few games with Seoyeon before filming the commercial.
Seoyeon was a caster type.
Especially with characters that had slightly complex skill sets, she was terribly bad.
What she was good at was simple melee DPS.
Ramiel knew that clearly.
'...But when playing with me, she wouldn't switch even when I asked.'
Look at her instantly switching when Ramiel says it.
Ramiel—no, Lee Jiyeon felt a bit spiteful.
"First, you complete your items quickly, and wait at the spots where materials spawn. It's better if there are as many people as possible..."
- ?? There are too many people there, right? Isn't it better to pull out and go somewhere else?
"No, this is just right."
Saying that, Seoyeon stepped forward with Reki to gently test the waters even before the tanker Heo Taegyun went in.
"When Reki appears, they use skills to poke. You dodge this like this. And dodge this like this."
As the enemy's skills flew in, Seoyeon's Reki moved back and forth, dodging all of them.
It wasn't just random erratic movement, but moving as if she 'saw' and dodged the incoming skills accurately.
- ? What?
- Reki's movement is a bit weird?
- Is Joo Seoyeon scripting?
"Now, kill them all like this. And strip them of their money."
- You crazy bitch, you skipped way too much of the explanation
"And, around this time, people start going to the shop to complete their items."
Seeing an exclamation mark appear on the map, Seoyeon hastily ran over.
Heo Taegyun and Ramiel also hurriedly followed Seoyeon's ping.
"If you kill them all like this again, you can even steal the items they were just building."
- That's just a pure thief bastard
- Is this really E-Cam's strategy?
"Uh, well. Ambushing them while they're building their items is basics, but."
Heo Taegyun trailed off.
Even so, he never thought she'd rush in and ram into them the moment she saw them.
"You must not be afraid of fighting. Have the mindset of killing everyone you see."
- Tell the truth, Cha Seoah, that wasn't acting, right?
- Come to think of it, both Beakers and Reki, you only use axe-wielding characters
- You were holding an axe in the Main poster too
- Ma'am, why do you like axes so much?
"That's a misunderstanding. It just happened because I picked characters that looked strong."
- ?? Does holding an axe make you look strong?
- It does look strong...
Anyway, while Seoyeon rushed in and slaughtered everyone, Heo Taegyun's dedicated efforts were hidden within.
He had to desperately keep them alive—keeping Reki alive, and if Ramiel died, he didn't know how Seoyeon would react, so he had no choice but to save her.
"...You're working hard."
Seeing that, Ramiel spoke as if she felt sorry for him.
At Ramiel's sweet words, Heo Taegyun almost teared up for a moment.
'I misunderstood VTubers.'
He only looked at the 3D avatar and didn't try to see their inner side.
Compared to Joo Seoyeon, how feminine and sweet this woman named Ramiel was.
"Ah, we'll get first place this time. They're catching Ackle over there right now, right? Then here... instead of thinking about stealing Ackle, just hit the people."
The opponents would be hitting it frantically so it wouldn't get stolen anyway.
At that timing, with Reki, she could at least take one head.
Then it was practically a won fight.
——That was Seoyeon's logic.
- No, it usually doesn't work that easily.
- Where is someone stupid enough to deal damage like that?
"Look, I'll show you that I'm right."
Seoyeon instantly engaged the enemies who were hitting Ackle.
The enemies hitting Ackle hurriedly switched their target from Ackle to Reki.
The enemies' CC skills flew toward Reki, but.
"Dodge it like this."
- ?
Since most CC skills were non-targeted, she lightly dodged them, and Reki, who closed in through the gap of the panicking enemies, fairly split the heads of all three with her axe.
The situation ended even before their allies, Heo Taegyun and Ramiel, could arrive.
In an instant, amidst everyone's confusion, first place was confirmed, and the screen was captured in slow motion.
-?
- ??
- ????
The chat started to fill up with numerous question marks.
"See, I killed them all."
- Are you perhaps saying that seriously?
- Not a single thing went the way you said, is this right?
- Why would they hit Ackle, the moment they saw you they all only hit you
- You killed all three because of the growth gap, otherwise you would've been killed
"Since I didn't get hit, it's the same as them not hitting me."
- ???
- What kind of logic is this?
- Can't we watch the replay for this?
- How the hell did you dodge that? Just now?
- Watching this makes me mad for some reason
"Dodging isn't that difficult. E-Cam has a lot of non-targeted skills."
- Teacher, I just started this game today, and that sounds like bullshit to me.
- It's not non-targeted, I thought it was no-target skills
Anyway, in just 2 games.
YW9peUx5cktZYXhyU2hzY1VsMkQ0V1Z0Z0FLMHFLZjRFV1k3U1NFQ0FEOHUxUzdoMFBWMExaN1VXYnlSZjR0Mw
In just 2 games, the mission was easily accomplished.
The Eternity Camp promotion team, who must have been watching this situation, probably had smiles on their lips.
'Is this real? The real-time viewer count is 100,000?'
Considering the scale of Eternity Camp, it was an unbelievable number of viewers.
It must have been Seoyeon's appearance that properly pulled the aggro.
Unlike other actors, Seoyeon was an actor who frequently became a topic in communities for one reason or another.
With a VTuber involved as well, there were probably people who came to watch out of curiosity.
Anyway, separate from that.
"...Seoyeon-nim, I'll take over the hosting."
"? Didn't I do well?"
At Seoyeon's words, spoken as if she truly didn't understand, Heo Taegyun had no choice but to stay silent.
Because that was all he could do.
***
"Actor Joo Seoyeon, the advertisement today was very good. We look forward to the advertisement video later as well."
Team Manager Hwang of the Eternity Camp promotion team said with a wide smile.
The promotional stream was a massive hit, and the views were rising rapidly in real-time.
If they edited it into a short clip and uploaded it later, they would be able to acquire additional users from that.
'I wanted to stream a bit more.'
Of course, Seoyeon was a bit disappointed.
Except for the second game, she didn't get a chance to host the stream herself.
"I wouldn't mind if it were just a casual stream, but it's a promotional stream."
Jiyeon said to Seoyeon, who had unjustly become sullen.
Honestly, Seoyeon's stream was fun.
She didn't have much articulation, but the entertainment of the stream was definite.
However, it felt quite far-fetched from the purpose of introducing Eternity Camp.
"Once is fine, but it's ambiguous to keep doing it."
"Yeah, I got it."
Seeing Seoyeon nodding as if she finally understood, Jiyeon had a lot to say in many ways.
When talking to Ramiel, she reacted as if she owned the world, but when talking to 'Jiyeon', she was utterly calm.
'Well, that is fun though.'
If she whispered a few times in Ramiel's tone, her jumping in surprise would be fun again.
...Of course, there was also a bit of jealousy as a friend.
'What kind of thing happened with Jo Seohee again.'
While she was overseas, it seemed several things had happened during the filming of
It seemed they were full of motivation and doing reshoots.
'It feels like that has something to do with Joo Seoyeon...'
Lee Jiyeon carefully observed Seoyeon, who was loudly sucking on her iced Americano.
Lately, haven't there been a lot of people getting deeply entangled with her?
Stella goes without saying, and if Park Jungwoo was limited to Princess Yeonhwa, he was also a bit suspicious.
Jo Seohee's recent reaction was also...
"Joo Seoyeon."
"Yeah?"
"But, are you really going to do it?"
Currently, Seoyeon and Jiyeon were on their way back after visiting Yeonhwa High School.
It was vacation, so they originally had no reason to come, but Teacher Song Dayeon of the Drama Club had called the two of them.
In a way, it was what they had talked about before.
"Drama Club."
"Yeah. There's no harm in joining."
"...Hmm."
Well, Teacher Song Dayeon wouldn't bother Seoyeon.
However, luring Seoyeon, who had no intention of joining the Drama Club, was a bit impudent.
'She completely fell for that again.'
Actually, Teacher Song Dayeon didn't throw any amazing bait.
In a word, juniors.
Among the incoming freshmen this time, there were many students whose goal was the Drama Club.
The reason was a student currently attending Yeonhwa High School.
Joo Seoyeon.
The most radiant actress in South Korea last year.
"Wouldn't it be nice to show Seoyeon's cool side to the juniors?"
Teacher Song Dayeon said so.
And Seoyeon, who was secretly serious about showing herself off, quickly nodded.
'I'm a senior now too.'
Looking at Seoyeon acting needlessly triumphant, Jiyeon sighed.
Because she hoped that nothing unusual would happen in the new semester that was about to start.
