Chapter 9

**Chapter 1, Episode 9 of The Genius Archer's Streaming Season 1**

**4. Who is Dotorimuk? (1)**

After eliminating all the fleeing bandits, a brief cut scene progressed. It was a scene where a noble, who had commissioned the mercenary team, praised Almond and declared that he would remember his name.

And a blonde noble lady in one of the noble's carriages was staring intently at Almond.

She seemed to be the heroine of this work, but Sanghyun didn't have the time to pay attention to that.

It was because of the chat window that had just appeared.

The reactions in the chat window were not ordinary.

It was the typical reaction when a famous person enters.

‘Dotorimuk? Is he a famous person?’

Sanghyun finished shooting and quietly looked at the chat window.

Although he was climbing the ranks as a newcomer, it was unusual for a famous person to visit a stream with only about 200 viewers.

Moreover, the amount of the donation was substantial.

‘100,000 won…’

A whopping 100,000 won donation. Considering that donations usually start at 1,000 won, it was a considerable amount.

Judging from the fact that he donated such a large amount right away, it was clear that he was not an ordinary viewer.

- Sir. No reaction?

- Haha, you'd be stunned if someone suddenly donates 100,000 won.

- It's not a female streamer, what kind of reaction do you want? Show some archery skills.

- Haha, reaction with archery.

The viewers teased Sanghyun, who was momentarily stunned.

‘Ah… I need to react.’

Sanghyun finally realized that he needed to react.

‘I didn't think about it.’

He hadn't even considered that he would receive donations, so naturally, he hadn't thought about how to react.

“Um… reaction…”

After a moment of thought, Sanghyun remembered a trick he used to do during his competitive days.

‘It's funny and good.’

It was a trick that was both funny and showcased his archery skills.

“I'll react. I'll show you something amazing.”

He nocked an arrow and aimed at the sky.

After a moment of calculating the angle, he released the string.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew high into the sky and disappeared.

- What, really? Haha, is shooting an arrow the reaction?

- I'm going to lose it.

- What is this? At least explain before shooting. Haha.

- Is this a donation reaction?

Sanghyun spread his arms and shouted.

“Ta-da. The arrow disappears into the….”

Thud!

While speaking, an arrow pierced Sanghyun's forehead.

The Almond character died, and the game screen suddenly went black.

The chat window turned into a sea of laughter.

- Haha, what?

- Suicide show?

- Haha, what is this?

- 100,000 won to die…

- 100,000 won to the forehead. Haha.

- What did you do, really? Haha.

- Hahaha.

‘The reaction is good.’

This was all part of the intended performance.

But then…

Beep…

Suddenly, there was a malfunction in the capsule, and the game and stream both ended.

It seemed that the old-generation capsule had some issues.

“Huh? Did it crash?”

Sanghyun was taken aback.

He was trying to give a proper 100,000 won reaction when the game crashed.

“What is this?”

Sanghyun quickly exited the capsule. His face was flushed, and his hair was drenched in sweat. The internal temperature of the capsule was like a sauna at 33.2 degrees.

This was also a problem with the old-generation capsule, which had weak cooling.

“Phew. I can't do anything about it for now.”

Still, he had bought the capsule at a very reasonable price, so he had no complaints.

‘But what about the stream?’

Sanghyun was only worried about the stream. He quickly turned it back on using his computer.

Fortunately, the chat window was still active.

- What?! You're out, haha.

- No, the reaction was insane, haha.

- This is modern art!

- ?????

- What?

In summary, the chat window was mostly filled with “haha” and “????”.

It was a chaotic situation.

Sanghyun typed a message.

First, he explained why he had left.

- Haha, it really crashed?

- Haha, so funny.

- Insane streaming talent….

- Why did it crash, haha?

Although he didn't know why it crashed, he had a guess.

The viewers laughed even harder.

They realized that Sanghyun's exit was not part of the performance but a real accident.

- No, it really crashed, haha.

- Haha, it's legendary.

- Really legendary, haha.

Sanghyun's lips also curled up. He had been a bit flustered by the streaming accident just a moment ago.

‘Actually, it's good.’

Now, it wasn't.

Thinking about it, such accidents were a boon for streamers. In variety shows, comedians often welcome such accidents.

They say a scene for today's show has appeared.

It's what they call the “all-tube angle.” Sanghyun had just gotten it for free.

- Haha, he's crazy.

- Almond, is he a god?

- Almond, is he a fool?

- Shot the forehead and out!

- Why did you shoot the forehead, haha?

The reactions in the chat window were also very positive.

‘If this is the case… I don't need to explain.’

Sanghyun deleted the explanation he was about to post.

Tap, tap, tap.

He hit the backspace bar repeatedly.

Then, he naturally said goodbye and left the room.

* * *

Almond's stream ended abruptly.

The viewers, suddenly left without a place to go, were stunned.

- No, this is completely crazy, haha.

- So funny, haha.

- Is this really the end?

- He aimed at the stream with his bow….

- Haha, he aimed at the stream with his bow.

- 100,000 won reaction: stream termination.

- Haha, hitting the forehead is really a kill shot.

- Even in the chaos, he hit it well, haha.

It's often more terrifying to end a stream just when it's getting interesting. Although Sanghyun didn't intend it, he created that effect.

They wanted to see more of Almond's archery, but the sudden end left them feeling frustrated.

- When is the next stream?

- I didn't even see him shoot a few times.

- I came late after seeing the Burka death.

- As soon as I came, I got hit in the forehead and the stream ended, haha.

- Haha, so funny.

- When is the next stream? Does he have a schedule?

The frustration of not seeing more of Almond's archery gradually turned into anticipation for the next stream.

- No, he said he would stream in the evening yesterday, but today he streamed at lunchtime, so he's just crazy, haha.

- He does whatever he wants, haha.

- Almond… you, man….

- I'll keep the notification on and wait. Cheers, Almond!

After the intense stream, the viewers gradually left the chat window, some of them posting the event on community sites.

Some viewers even clipped the scene where the arrow hit the forehead from the replay.

In a channel with only about 200 viewers, it was rare for clips to be made, but Almond's performance today was that impressive.

Three clips were made: the scene where he shot Burka, the scene where he skewered all the bandits while riding a horse, and the trick he showed just before the stream ended.

The last trick, in particular, sparked a lot of discussion with a post like this.

The post included Sanghyun's trick and the scene where the capsule crashed.

- Haha, his aiming skills are out of this world, haha.

- He's going crazy, haha.

- The punchline is perfect, haha.

- Skilled and funny. Is Almond a (mad) god?

- Extreme aiming and extreme comedy. This is rare.

The reactions in the community were also tremendous.

His trick seemed to be well-received.

Of course, there were also negative comments.

They attacked the post and comments like this.

- Who is this Hakko, and why do you keep mentioning him?

- Ban the promotion.

- Do you have a fan club or something?

- Did you create a group chat, damn it, haha.

└ It's not that, he's really good.

└ No, it's just the early stages of the game.

- Why are you fawning over a mere 200-viewer streamer?

└ Haha, really.

A mere 200 viewers.

“Cough, cough.”

Sanghyun, who had been watching the community with satisfaction, involuntarily cleared his throat.

Of course, Sanghyun wasn't deeply hurt by such comments. This was a period that any rising new streamer had to endure, dealing with jealousy and such.

For Sanghyun, who had already lived a life as a transcendent genius, it was a familiar scene.

“Damn.”

Such comments, he could just brush off with a single remark.

That's why Sanghyun read through all the malicious comments with a calm face.

- Your fawning is almost like the second Dotoridan.

- Ugh, disgusting.

- Dotoridan, haha, little squirrels.

- Dotorimuk is recognized.

- Seeing Dotorimuk and this Hakko, it's a fan club.

Among them, he noticed a familiar name.

“Dotorimuk….”

The person who donated 100,000 won today.

He seemed to be a famous person. It turned out he was a top-tier streamer in this game.

“Is he quite good?”

Sanghyun became curious about Dotorimuk.

He found and played one of Dotorimuk's videos.

“…Oh.”

Unlike Sanghyun, he mainly used a sword. His skills were impressive.

Even Sanghyun, who had never used a sword, could tell it was amazing.

He had already cleared several stages and was progressing to more detailed content.

One of them was an archery challenge.

“This is not good.”

His archery skills were far from satisfactory, even by Sanghyun's standards. Dotorimuk himself seemed to think similarly, as the archery challenge disappeared after about three episodes.

“Everything else is good, though?”

While watching the other videos with interest,

Ding.

A long message arrived through the Triview account.

The title was as follows.
