Chapter 101
Hardly anyone was looking at the battlefield interface.
Perhaps that was why?
When Seojun’s broadcast suddenly flashed the Demonic Sect’s victory, it wasn’t easy to figure out right away what had happened.
[????]
[Is it really Demonic Sect victory?]
[Is this a bug?]
[So random but Demonic Sect victory congraaaaaaaats]
So even when posts like these suddenly appeared, there were countless people who had no idea what they were even talking about.
Even though 20,000 people were in Seojun’s room, most of them were still watching his stream, so there were many in the community who didn’t understand those posts.
[What’s that?]
[Why are you guys already back from seeing the future?]
[LoL-sect bastards lost their minds and saw a vision]
-LoL-sect? lolololololololololololololololololol
-lololololololololololololololololololololol
-lololololololololololololololololololololol
-I’ll let it slide this once, you cute little Unorthodox brat lololololololololololololololol
-What the hell why is everyone laughing. Are you crazy? (Original poster)
Then when one user posted a screenshot of the battlefield interface, people finally grasped the situation.
[What’s up with that?]
[The map’s the same, isn’t it?]
[Well, the placement of the victory message is the same as where it shows at the end]
But even so, it should only appear after the settlement at 7 PM tomorrow, so why is it showing now?
[Rough guess]
==
The Heavenly Demon’s game must have been the last one.
And since the last game ended, the points must have been calculated.
But this is the first time every faction got completely driven out.
The trigger for that victory faction message was originally coded poorly, and this is the first time it actually went off, so it must have spoiled the result.
The developer hyungs will give a detailed explanation!
==
Anyway, something went wrong and the victory message came out early.
That story seemed the most plausible.
And that meant the Demonic Sect really did win.
Everyone probably anticipated the Demonic Sect winning to some degree when they knocked the Orthodox Faction out and immediately pushed into the Unorthodox Faction.
Still.
After actually winning, the emotions the Demonic Sect users felt were something special.
[We really won, right? It’s not an error?]
[At last... we who were oppressed... have won...]
[Since when were you oppressed lololololol Whatever, congrats]
And a user who was truly crazy about the Demonic Sect.
The Third Elder.
He had joined For the Sake of Chivalry back in elementary school after falling for the First Heavenly Demon’s battle, and had been smashed down ever since—now he was sitting all alone in a pavilion on his personal channel, pretending to drink.
Of course, this was virtual reality so he couldn’t actually drink, and since he was a minor he had never once drunk alcohol in his life.
But something about his mood felt strange, so he was setting the atmosphere.
He had entered this game because of the First Heavenly Demon, but the First Heavenly Demon disappeared right away.
Still, he loved the Demonic Sect so much that he kept playing, but no matter how desperately he tried, victory in the battlefield was something he could never even dream of.
And then this war.
The Fake Heavenly Demon joined.
They earned the title of Grandmaster.
And strangely, they set a deathmatch record, then went on a winning streak, racked up insane fame, and finally created a situation where victory on the battlefield was right before their eyes.
It felt weird.
They won thanks to one person.
If it hadn’t been for the Fake Heavenly Demon, the Demonic Sect’s victory would have been unthinkable.
And yet he was happy.
Because.
They all truly gave their best to win just one more match.
To not be discovered for even one day.
To hold on for even one day.
Because they couldn’t afford to fail for even one day.
“Really...”
They did their best.
Tomorrow, they’d probably win, right?
Just like they had over the last few days?
Even after pulling off such a lead, anxiety crept in.
Human psychology was unavoidable.
And so, as if emptying his mind, he gazed out at the distant scenery.
“It’s all a futile struggle that will end tomorrow......”
Setting the mood and spouting nonsense.
The Third Elder.
He too was an inevitable user of For the Sake of Chivalry.
“Destiny must be the same....... Huh?”
Message alerts suddenly started piling up like crazy.
What’s this?
Why are there so many.
Could it be that the Fake Heavenly Demon—no, the true Heavenly Demon—lost the game?
Had a catastrophe occurred!?
Startled, he checked the messages, and his eyes went wide.
“Huh, what? Really?”
Because everyone was cheering.
They won?
The Demonic Sect actually won?
“We won! Waaaaaah!”
All alone on his personal channel, the Third Elder shouted like that, swinging his arms wildly as he ran.
* * *
-We wonnnnn!
-How did you actually win this thing!!!!
-We came to see the hero of victory
-Hell yea!!!!
-Let’s have a meetup
-Streamer, thank you...
Seojun stared at the ever-increasing viewer count in bewilderment.
Just how far is that going to climb?
When the message saying the Demonic Sect had won appeared after the game ended, everyone was doubtful at first.
But after thinking about it, it was easy to deduce that unless the victorious faction was the Demonic Sect, a message like that would never appear—even if it was a bug.
The result?
The viewer count was rising in real time.
Well.
The same went for the streamer’s broadcast.
And for other streamers.
It was because they wanted to see the reactions.
-You actually made the Loser Sect win lololol I acknowledge you as the GOAT among all Heavenly Demons
-I have no regrets left now
-I acknowledge this as legendary. Just legendary
-Heavenly Demon-nim, you worked so hard ㅠㅠ
Originally he had planned to end the broadcast right after the game, but now it felt like he should stay a bit longer.
“You say I worked hard? Heh heh. You all worked harder.”
So he sat down.
It had a sort of final atmosphere.
Everyone was saying it was over, but he felt it wasn’t properly finished—still, whatever.
“But I think the Orthodox Faction folks are the happiest right now, aren’t they?”
Even more than the Demonic Sect users, Orthodox Faction users were busy mocking the Unorthodox Faction.
-lolololol Couldn’t last even a single day, you noobs
-You should’ve at least aimed for isolation like we did
-As if that would’ve worked?
-We won, but they’re causing a ruckus among themselves lol
What would happen if the Unorthodox Faction tried isolation like the Orthodox Faction?
Anyway, the Demonic Sect attacked everyone practically all at once, so there was no additional support to cut off.
So from the Unorthodox Faction’s standpoint, they couldn’t foolishly throw away a chance to hold out for a day just to attempt isolation.
Did the Orthodox Faction users not know this?
Of course they did. Yet they were still running their mouths at the losers.
Even though they themselves were losers first. But that wasn’t Seojun’s concern.
“Right. I think the Unorthodox Faction had to give it everything they had. Isn’t that right?”
Seojun said the same thing as the Orthodox Faction.
-Hell yea. The composure of a winner
-Teabagging: ON
-He’s about to start running his mouth! Run away!
-Streamer inner thoughts) The losers should get beaten up from now on, right?
-Orthodox Faction better be careful too
The moment Seojun opened his mouth, people already prepared to leave.
Damn it.
“I think everyone fought hard and fought well.”
-Oh
-Wholesome mode
-That’s right. Everyone fought well hehe
So he threw a changeup.
“But honestly, the Demonic Sect users fought the best. And this is the result.”
Seojun brought up the window again.
“Isn’t that right? Admit it.”
Victory Faction: Demonic Sect.
-Yes
-If you lose, you have to shut up ㅠㅠ
-We’re going to have to hear this from the Demonic Sect for the next half year lolololol Don’t start already!
-Acknowledged
When you win on the battlefield, an anti-insult shield is generated for that faction until the next battlefield opens!
The superficial fact that he had done something good for the Demonic Sect gave him a strange feeling.
In his past life, there hadn’t been any major fights, but plenty of clashes had occurred.
‘Even if it’s the Demonic Sect, once is probably fine.’
Mmhmm.
Seojun thought to himself with a faint smile.
After all, these guys will never win again.
Even if Seojun cloned himself into five people and joined the next battlefield, the chance of victory wouldn’t exceed 5%.
‘Unless a lot of people switch over to the Demonic Sect after this, that is.’
-lolololol See you next time, Demonic Sect
-The streamer himself is going to leave right away lololol
-Yep, users will go to the Demonic Sect, see that the Heavenly Demon Divine Art is absolute trash, and come back lol
-We won today but stop already talking about the next battlefield, you Ortho-cheaters! Un-shameless!
Ortho-cheaters? Un-shameless?
The sound of those words fit perfectly.
What about the Demonic Sect?
-What’s the Loser Sect saying lol
Right.
Even though they won today, the Demonic Sect is still the Loser Sect.
Anyway.
Watching them go back and forth, Seojun laughed together with his viewers.
Still, since the Demonic Sect won, the Orthodox and Unorthodox Factions were pushed back.
“Oh. Everyone, hold on.”
Blue text appeared in his vision.
He was seeing this for the first time. But he knew what it was.
It was a real-time chat that the operator sent to all players.
[Hello. This is the operator.]
The announcement added one sentence at a time below, pushing the previous sentences up.
[First, many users seemed curious about the message that appeared on the interface, so I’ll address that question first.]
[That was indeed the accurately calculated result.]
-Oh!
-I knew it!
-It’s a victory!
[However, due to an error, only the victory faction message appeared prematurely.]
[We sincerely apologize for inadvertently spoiling the outcome.]
[To the Demonic Sect users.]
[Victory in this war. Congratulations.]
-Hell yea!!!!
-Isn’t this the first time the operator congratulates us? So jealous!!
-Operator’s note: He’s been a Demonic Sect member waiting for this day lolololol
-A real victory!
In the end, it was officially announced.
And Seojun, timing it just right, started playing the piled-up donations.
“Thank you for the donations, everyone. There are a lot backed up.”
It had happened because he’d turned them off to focus on the last game and then forgot to turn them back on again.
[‘Victory!’ donated 150,000 won!]
[I believed in you.]
[‘Is it real?’ donated 30,000 won!]
[What did you do again?]
[‘Please’ donated 50,000 won!]
[Be the Heavenly Demon forever!]
.
.
.
.
.
“Hey hey, BelievedInYou, thank you for the donation.”
That was the last donation.
Just playing through the backlog for the donations took over 30 minutes.
Just how much did he earn today alone?
Seeing as the donations started from the point when they discovered that the Demonic Sect had won, it seemed like people were sending the donations they had prepared for tomorrow right now.
“That’s roughly over 7 million won, you say? Thank you.”
-Were you actually counting that lololol
-7 million won a day, that’s insane
-I want to be a streamer too!
-Me too!
[‘ExtremeJobStreamer’ donated 50,000 won!]
[If they paid you 7 million won to make the Demonic Sect win, would you do it? lol]
If you put it that way, it really does sound like an extreme job.
-lolololol It’s not “won’t do it” x it’s “can’t do it” o
-Making a living as a streamer is this hard lololol
-The pinnacle of inefficiency lol
Anyway, this is how it wrapped up.
“Then, thank you for the donations, everyone. Twitch bye.”
Today’s streaming.
The 20-day war.
And so, the game Hyup-reul Wihayeo.
