EP.57 The Saint Who Doesn't Lie

Maybe it was a mistake to say I would answer any questions.

But it's not like I can always choose my words carefully,

and I also didn't like the idea of casually changing the topic by fiddling with the customization.

So, the Q&A session continued.

"Next question…."

[ Don't you think the word '질1문' is a bit naughty? ]

[ Get out ]

[ We also have a '질1풍' version ]

[ Get out, you bastard ]

[ Why can't I see any more fireworks? ]

[ Did you throw 200,000 won and die a glorious death? Hahaha ]

[ You're going to get banned for sure, hahaha ]

[ The room owner, you killed them ]

[ If you ignore us like this after such generous support, who will support you? Hahaha ]

[ I'll do it? ]

[ Black cow, hahaha ]

[ Is this stream doing well? ]

『 불꽃남자이혁진 (Flame Man Lee Hyuk Jin) donated 10,000 won!

Teacher, your play is extraordinary. What level do you think your skills are at? In terms of rank, how high? 』

This was a question I had been thinking about myself,

so I pondered it seriously again.

My gaming skills.

I think I could reach Rainbow just by physical ability alone, beyond Orange and Red,

but that's just a thought.

This game, of course, requires quick reflexes and cognitive skills in combat, but they aren't everything.

So, thinking I could reach Rainbow, when I've never even been to Red, might be a delusion.

Reality doesn't always go as predicted.

In fact, even after playing quite a few games since I got this body, I'm still struggling at Yellow 1.

There were various issues, especially with my fingers, but those were just excuses.

For now, I can only say this is my skill level.

But admitting that with such a cheat-like body hurts my pride.

"I think I need to play a bit more to know."

Despite my honest answer, the next questions poured in.

Most were related to the game.

『 배교해버렷 (Apostate) donated 10,000 won!

After watching your play, I converted to Gaia's follower, but it's too hard. Any healing tips? 』

[ Healer… Gaia? ]

[ It's not easy for a priest to be treated like a commoner, but Gaia… it's a bit much ]

[ Just don't do it if you don't want to ]

[ Just seal it until the ultimate is patched ]

[ You can't not use the ultimate, but you can't not heal ]

[ What kind of genius came up with a healing ultimate that requires aiming projectiles? ]

[ It's awesome, hahaha ]

[ It's really unique, hahaha ]

[ Do you know where '신1박' comes from on the internet? ]

[ Ah, you know World of Warcraft ]

[ Healing itself looks good when you're skilled ]

[ If you want to do it, just play 8,000 matches like the room owner ]

[ No, even 8,000 matches won't work. I haven't tried, but it just won't ]

[ Ah, hahaha, the room owner's aim is unparalleled, hahaha ]

[ Average hit rate 96%, hahaha, average crisis rescue 42 times, hahaha ]

[ Even with targeting skills that sometimes miss due to aggressive movements, 96% aim healing, hahaha, is it not a hack? Hahaha ]

[ Even hacks can't do that, hahaha ]

[ Some crazy person uses a hack to play a healing priest ]

[ That's true, hahaha ]

[ Are those stats real? Can you see the future or something? ]

[ Why are you still at Yellow? ]

[ That's the thing… ]

[ I told you, hahaha ]

Healing tips?

There aren't any.

"Watch carefully… and predict well."

[ Ah, I see ]

[ I knew you'd say that ]

[ It's something FPS players say… ]

[ How about switching to an FPS game? ]

[ This is a Lethe stream, hahaha ]

『 나잼민이아니다 (Not Boring) donated 10,000 won!

Do you have any plans to try other builds besides Gaia's follower? The last time you used the Essence of the Eastern School build, it was pretty cool. 』

[ World-cutting zealots are here, hahaha ]

[ I can't stand screen splitting, hahaha ]

[ How about a manly greatsword instead of a gay longsword? ]

[ Greatswords are good, especially the Frenzy of the Lion build ]

[ I still replay the scene where I broke the core in the finals every day, hahaha ]

[ That was pretty cool, hahaha ]

[ If longswords are gay, what are dual swords? ]

[ Dual swords? They're the essence of LGBT, hahaha ]

[ Haha ]

[ When did the noble status of dual swords fall so low? ]

[ Look at this, hahaha, dual swords are noble, hahaha ]

[ Haha ]

"I like being a priest."

I've learned a bit from watching over the shoulder, so I can handle other builds to some extent,

but the class I'm best at is the priest,

and I like the concept of comforting and encouraging others.

Unless I get matched with a team where the only person who can play is a priest, I'll stick to the priest in ranked games.

Still…

"I might have a little interest in a warrior using two-handed maces."

The feeling of smashing heads is quite unique.

『 진짜궁금해서그런데 (Really Curious) donated 30,000 won!

Really curious, why did you pretend to be a netcam model all this time? And why did you suddenly drop the perverted priest concept? 』

"…."

I had to think a lot about this question.

After much deliberation, the answer I came up with was this.

"Because, I wanted to get used to it?"

I phrased it as wanting to get used to attention.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it directly.

The original me did things to get used to people's attention.

Over time, this desire mixed with my own desires and solidified into a concept.

And the reason I dropped that concept.

"Because, my thoughts changed a bit."

I was embarrassed and ashamed, just like the character who was heaving and panting.

Even if I said that, no one would believe me, and I didn't want to tell anyone about the change in my body.

The viewers were puzzled by my vague answer.

Of course, that was the result of me dodging the question.

But I didn't bother to explain further.

Seeing my reluctance to answer, the people changed the topic themselves.

『 쓸데없는거물어보는사람 (Asking Useless Questions) donated 100,000 won!

What do you do in your daily life when you're not streaming? How does your day go? 』

Daily routine?

If there's nothing special, I wake up around dawn,

or rather, I don't really wake up.

I just open my eyes and,

stick to the bed until lunchtime…

Change the sheets, drink a lot of water, and…

"Wh-what are you asking…."

[ ? ]

[ What did we do? ]

[ Why are you so embarrassed? ]

[ What's with this reaction like a molested schoolgirl? ]

[ First time seeing someone use the word 'schoolgirl' ]

[ You're a real fanboy ]

[ The room owner is cute ]

[ What kind of fantasy did the room owner have to be this embarrassed? ]

[ Does anyone have a hypnosis app? Let's make the room owner talk ]

[ There's no way that exists, hahaha ]

[ Get out, hikomi ]

[ You're acting up, so you're even more annoying, tenren ]

[ We love our room owner, thank you ]

A routine day involves eating a decent meal, turning on the stream to play games, eating during the stream, occasionally looking in the mirror and giggling, then sleeping and waking up to do it all over again.

This is completely the life of a game-addicted shut-in.

But this daily life,

isn't bad.

In fact, it's good.

It's full of things I enjoy and feel good about, so it can't be bad.

The only downside is that I can't really talk about it with others.

I hid my embarrassment with a "hehe" laugh and dodged the question.

The chat about a thief here taking 100,000 won poked at my conscience a bit,

but I can't talk about this.

『 현실미소녀는실존한다 (Real Smile Girls Exist) donated 50,000 won!

You've revealed your voice, but when are you going to turn on the camera? 』

[ A female cam model appeared, hahaha ]

[ Why didn't you show up, hahaha ]

[ Ah, hahaha, did you see Dullahan's face reveal, hahaha ]

[ As I said before, don't break your own fantasy, hahaha ]

[ Several streamers revealed their faces after being told they looked beautiful from their voices and ended up in hell, hahaha ]

[ Leave it to the imagination, hahaha ]

[ But I want to see, hmm ]

[ Why are you trying to look into the abyss yourself? ]

[ The story of Pandora's box isn't just a story, hahaha ]

[ Now you're treating me like Pandora's box, hahaha ]

[ What if? ]

[ What if, don't say that, hahaha ]

[ Haha ]

[ If you have a face like a saint, why not show it? This is strange, hahaha ]

[ Don't slander our sister ]

[ You're witnessing the first scene of the room owner's downfall, thank you ]

The reaction was intense.

As I said,

I watched the intense reactions from the sidelines.

I understand why people gawk at burning houses.

It's entertaining.

And,

I didn't lie.

Hehe.
