The usual broadcast time.
Bullamyeon was hard at work playing Wild Hunter in Reality Mode again today.
Playing in Reality Mode was incredibly difficult.
But there was a mission riding on clearing it, and his pride wouldn’t allow him to give up now.
In the middle of that, a donation suddenly came flying in.
----
[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
Ramyeon, do you know the Haerang Challenge?
----
“King of Clubs, thank you for the 1,000 won donation. The Haerang Challenge? And what’s with your nickname? Weren’t you originally the King of Greatswords?”
He was a viewer who often watched his streams even on ordinary days, and donated frequently enough that Bullamyeon remembered his nickname.
- Welcome, mediocrity
- King of Lmaoswords lololol
- Yo, mediocrity
----
[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
A lot happened... Anyway, have you heard of it?
----
‘The Haerang Challenge...’
What kind of challenge was that?
At the name of a challenge he was hearing for the first time, Bullamyeon tilted his head.
Given the nature of a game like Wild Hunter, challenges had always existed.
Clearing the final boss without carting once, clearing the final boss using only basic attacks.
From ordinary challenges like those,
to bizarre ones like hunting monsters using only a slinger that dealt 1 damage per hit, or hunting monsters using only the surrounding environment—there were all sorts of outlandish challenges.
One of those eccentric stunts had been the slinger-only hunt he himself had done.
Thankfully, he had compromised with his viewers; otherwise, he might have had to kill a monster with over 9,000 HP using only a slinger.
‘I thought I was going to die back then...’
Even after choosing the monster with the lowest health, it had taken over three hours.
And now, to him, someone who shuddered at the mere word “challenge,” they were bringing up a new challenge?
Worried about what kind of absurd stunt they had brought this time, Bullamyeon cautiously asked the viewer who had donated.
First, he needed to figure out just how deranged it was.
“I’ve never heard of it...? What is it this time, seriously? How much are you trying to torment me again?”
Unlike him, however, the chat seemed to already know what kind of challenge it was.
- Oh, that?
- I knew our Ramyeon would end up doing it someday lol
- You do have to try it lololol
- For real lol
- Has anyone even succeeded?
- It hasn’t been out that long yet lol
- I tried it and gave up immediately lololol
- I didn’t even try lololol
- Looks like streamers are gonna be making a fuss trying that for a while
The viewers chatted among themselves.

Killing both Domas in the Reality Mode tutorial
----
“Killing both Domas in the tutorial?!”
At those absurd words, Bullamyeon couldn’t help but be flustered.
“How are you supposed to clear that!!”
He knew because he had tried it himself.
He knew just how ridiculous that was.
When he first attempted Reality Mode, it had taken him three hours of trying just to barely kill one.
And that was him, a veteran of the Wild Hunter series.
Even killing that one had been nothing short of a miracle.
If the fight dragged on even a little, other monsters would barge into the battle, and he had died because of that more than once or twice.
Killing even one had been such a big deal that, for a while, people had gone around calling it the Bullamyeon Challenge.
And now they wanted him to kill both of them?
Bullamyeon thought that was absolutely impossible.
“Why does a challenge like that even exist?! No, who the hell started it in the first place? They’re not human, seriously. There’s no way anyone’s going to succeed anyway. This is just streamer abuse!! I guarantee it, whoever made this has a seriously rotten personality! No, personality isn’t even the problem—their heart is twisted from the root!”
He paused to catch his breath, then dropped another bomb entirely.
“If there’s someone who’s cleared it? Then I’ll give that person a million won!! I swear on my bank balance!”
Bullamyeon thrashed around, insisting that it made no sense.
The viewers merely laughed at the sight of him.
- LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
- We’ll see lololol
- Will Bullamyeon take responsibility for his words?
- You just dug your own grave, didn’t you? You’re screwed, aren’t you?
Seeing the viewers act that way, Bullamyeon began to feel uneasy.
“Uh... everyone, why are you laughing? This is making me really nervous...”
- Why do you think we’re laughing? lololololol
- Upvote if Bullamyeon being nervous as hell is hilarious lololol

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
(Video donation)
Bullamyeon shall keep his word
----
- Clipped and archived lol
“What is this...”
Because of the video donation that came in right then, Bullamyeon had no choice but to stop thrashing and quietly watch the video.
A woman in the video showed an unbelievable play.
Contrary to her delicate appearance, she handled a greatsword as if it were a toy.
She even used the inertia of the greatsword to move her body.
This was practically god-possessed gameplay.
The time it took her to kill both Domas was only five minutes.
And that was only because one terrified Doma had run away; if not for that, it probably wouldn’t have even taken three minutes.
Even if Reality Mode didn’t have fixed health like Baby Mode, who would have thought she’d show something so absurd?
Bullamyeon, who had been staring blankly at the video, suddenly snapped back to his senses with a gasp and shook his head rapidly.
“Don’t lie to me!! This is real? How do you kill two Domas in five minutes!! This has to be a fake video!!”
After catching his breath for a moment, Bullamyeon continued.
“And how can someone who handles a greatsword like that be that pretty!! I know it’s character customization, but that still makes no sense!! So this is fake!! It’s rigged!! It’s rigged, you bastards!!”
- Honestly, more than anything else, her looks are the part that makes no sense.
- Damn, those boobs are (blocked message)
- Uglyamyeon is fuming
- This bastard was just a small fry all along
- Ramyeon, I’m disappointed
- Your company commander is disappointed in you, Ramyeon
- Upvote if this bastard is basically just ramen crumbs
- Just upvote lololol

[Horong has donated 1,000 won.]
But she’s a fellow streamer, so is it okay to say that?
----
At those words, Bullamyeon couldn’t help but freeze.
“...She’s a fellow streamer?”
- Yep
- Look at his eyes trembling lolololol
- Ramyeon, I won’t see you off far
- down
- fall
- down
- fall
- fall
- down
- Damn, Bullamyeon’s story ends here lololol
Feeling his lips go dry and his fingertips tremble slightly, Bullamyeon cautiously asked the viewers.
“Um... by any chance, where does she stream...?”
- Pazijik
- Search Haerang and she comes up
- Lazy-ass
Bullamyeon looked at the chat and hurriedly searched “Haerang.”
And once he confirmed that a streamer named Haerang actually existed,
and that there was a replay as well, he had no choice but to quickly take back his words.
“Wow... you said it was the Haerang Challenge, right? Shall we give it a try?”
Though there was nothing he could do about how awkward his tone sounded.

[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
Mediocre bastard, you remember, right? One million won
----
“Yes... I should keep my word. I’ll follow her first. Ha... I can’t believe there’s such a thing as a million-won follow.”
- LOLOLOLOLOL
- Bullamyeon, cut!
- That’s karma, isn’t it? lolol
- But wasn’t that guy a mediocrity too?
- He was lolololol
----
[King of Clubs has donated 1,000 won.]
Fuck... how far has that rumor spread?

8 p.m.
Doom-chit, doom-chit.
Until just a moment ago, Neua had been watching another streamer’s broadcast, bobbing her head with a doom-chit, doom-chit rhythm.
Dragging that girl along with me, I turned on the stream right on time.
Starting today, Neua would be properly managing the chat window for me too, so I should be able to focus more, both on the stream and on the game.
Since she was someone who only ate up potato chips at home, I had to make use of her like this at least.
As I had expected yesterday, the viewer count rose quickly.
Judging by the speed, it seemed to be about 1.5 times faster than yesterday.
- Hae-hi!!
- Streamer, hiiit
- Wild Hunter again today?
- Is this the place that created the Haerang Challenge?
As always, the chat flew by quickly.
Although some strange comments appeared among them too.
- Look at those honkers lololol (blocked message)
They were blocked by Neua in less than three seconds.
‘Not bad.’
Feeling satisfied by Neua’s quick ban, I gave a light nod.
At this rate, I thought I could trust Neua.
Watching the endlessly rising chat window, I lightly waved to the viewers.
“Paha.”
- hi hi
- Hello
After chatting with the viewers for a short while like that,
I launched the game with hand movements that had become somewhat familiar by now.
“I’ll start right away with Wild Hunter today too.”
- Good
- Nice!!
- Are we going straight into the new route?!
After a simple loading screen passed, the scenery that greeted me was the forest where I had hunted Kukuridyaa last time.
Since I had ended the stream right after carving it, it started from the proper point.
I took out the materials from Kukuridyaa and showed them to the viewers.
“First, since I finished carving Kukuridyaa, if I bring this back, that Hunter Qualification Exam should be treated as passed, right?”
- Yeah, probably
- It was similar in Baby Mode too
- Back then it was just killing one Doma though lololol
- We didn’t even know Dante existed in the first place lolol
After checking the chat that followed, I nodded lightly.
“Then first, I’ll go back to the outpost and take care of that qualification exam.”
- Okay
- Since it’s a new route, I wonder if that’ll be a bit different too?
- I’m curious
Just as I was about to move, a donation went off.

[Bullamyeon has donated 1,000,000 won.]
Hello, Haerang-nim, I’m a fan^^
----
Along with the huge sum of one million won.
- Huh?
- LOLOLOLOLOL Why are you here, hyung?
- “I’m a fan” my ass lolololol
- Since when did that bastard become a fan lololol
- Ramyeon, go turn on your own stream
