I Regressed But The World DidnT Fall Apart

I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 57

Returned, but the world hasn’t ended -57-

057.

Pak! Pababak!

A chilling combo was unleashed without a single lie.

Up, down, up-up, down.

Aim left, now back to the right.

Combos pouring in from all directions!

-Shivers…

-Wow

-Wow…

The viewers were also amazed by the astonishing display.

Ding-

At that moment, a notification popped up.

[“jhj7603” has donated 100,000 won.]

“What the… is this Do Hyuk’s little brother?”

It was a donation that perfectly represented the current viewers’ sentiments.

-hahahaha lol

-For real lol

-hahahaha, what’s with this talent explosion

Unlike Dohyuk, who abruptly ended his broadcast and left, Jianchu continued her broadcast.

[Current viewers: 3,132]

She was showing off her archery skills to over 3,000 viewers.

Thanks to the viewers who were lost after Dohyuk’s broadcast, Jian’s viewer count had significantly increased.

– A streamer who hit 35,000 viewers on the 4th day and then abruptly ended the stream?!?!

– From now on, this is Dohyukchu’s gallery!

– Wow, this is it~ Archery is alive and well!

Most viewers went to watch other physical broadcasts, but some chose Jian’s stream as a substitute for Dohyuk’s.

Given that Dohyuk casually hit 35,000 viewers just before ending his stream, even a portion switching to Jian’s stream was significant.

Just an hour ago, she had not 3,000, but a whopping 10,000 viewers.

Of course, most couldn’t resist and ended up hitting the back button, but…

“Oh, my clothes!”

[Victory!]

Anyway, Jian’s thrilling performance surprisingly led to victory.

The effects of a long 10-hour training session were remarkable!

Jian could finally defeat the scarecrow used for tutorials!

“hehehe. Jianchu, the talent bestowed upon by the gods! Finally defeating the scarecrow!”

Boom-

Like a pro broadcaster, Jian used sound effects in her stream settings. Stepping on the scarecrow with one foot, she looked like she was praising herself.

-hahahahaha

-I tried to hold my breath until Dohyuk-sensei came, but I couldn’t resist laughing at this

-hahahahaha but the more I watch, the more it’s amusing

Of course, there was no shortage of praise for her, but…

Ding-

[“SaveArchery” has donated 10,000 won.]

-Are you guys here only for a moment..? Do we have to watch this kind of thing all the time..

Ding-

[“Shun Lee” has donated 30,000 won.]

-Chu… Chu… Save… me…

Still, as her stream was quite lively, a few donations came in.

[Mission Success!]

Even a notification for completing the mission of ‘victory against the scarecrow opponent.’

-Real hardcore fans

-Self-torture

-Still, you’re cute~ Let’s have a drink~

-Thank goodness they saved you by your looks alone…

-hahahahaha, while oppa gets missions to win as Anatol Perfect, here it’s against a scarecrow

“Stop right there! That’s just something weird about oppa!”

-Huh? Something weird?

-ㅋㅋㅋBut that makes sense.

-What on earth does your brother do?

-ㄹㅇ I’m super curious.

The chat window heated up with mentions of Ido Hyeok.

In fact, from the viewers’ perspective, Ido Hyeok was a mystery in himself.

With newcomers like monsters, insane physical abilities, and talented individuals appearing on internet broadcasts and various full-dive gaming platforms these days, what set Ido Hyeok apart was his unique existence.

Of course, in a sense, it was true that Ido Hyeok was truly “different” in his own way, transcending dimensions… Nevertheless.

Among viewers and community users, what made Ido Hyeok’s gaming skills as much of a hot topic as they were was Ido Hyeok’s past.

What kind of person must he have been in the past to exhibit such insane gameplay in his first encounter with a full-dive?

And utilizing dual axes, a bow, dual pistols, not to mention a wide range of weapon techniques including close combat skills that could easily overwhelm conventional FPS pros.

It wasn’t just a random guess about Ido Hyeok’s past, suggesting that he might have been a North Korean spy trained by the nation for northern faction assassinations.

“Oppa…?”

Jian’s eyes trembled intensely the moment she saw the question in the chat.

“I… I can’t say. Please ask Oppa directly about this.”

-There’s no room to ask him there!

-ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Once you watch his gameplay, you’re hooked.

-Just a time-consuming delightㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Rather, I have something to discuss with you all.”

Jian’s expression turned resolute.

The topic shifted abruptly.

-ㄷㄷ

-You dodged the question last time too.

-Tell usss

This time, viewers were not willing to let it go easily.

But the subject Jian brought up was too compelling.

“I once had my friend make a YouTube video for Oppa’s channel.”

-?

-??

-Your friend?

-Boyfriend?

-Close friend?

“Yes. She’s one of my closest friends.”

Ido Hyeok’s YouTube channel.

Already a topic that had been discussed multiple times within Ido Hyeok’s Tworc community.

From the viewers’ perspective, watching Ido Hyeok’s gameplay once, twice, and wanting to watch it repeatedly, the lack of a YouTube channel meant having to rely on reruns to see it again.

Moreover, since the broadcast, like Ido Hyeok himself, didn’t pause for reruns, viewers practically had to watch the full video and search for key scenes based on coordinates left in the comments.

In the past, fan-made videos might have been uploaded in a fan-tube format, but with the advancement of AI and stricter copyright regulations these days, posting such videos without streamers’ permission would result in an immediate ban.

[When will Master Dohyeok’s YouTube channel be launched..]

[It’s only been a few days since the broadcast started, so it seems like he’s looking for an editor.]

[This guy still doesn’t have an ATube channel?? Seriously, why not]

[Please allow Fantube, I’ll make it instead]

Due to this, there is a community where dozens of such posts are uploaded daily by Yidohyuk.

But the fact that Yidohyuk’s friend personally produced such videos for YouTube.

Of course, nowadays, video production and editing are not as difficult as they used to be.

With the advancement of video production AI, the need for elaborate editing skills has diminished.

However, that doesn’t mean the importance of YouTube editors has decreased compared to the past.

-Sigh…

-Editors account for 80% of the success.. Must find a good one…

-But if it’s Dohyuk-sensei, he just plays everything keke

-True

-No matter what, if you can’t salvage that, it’s a big loss kekeke

Improving video editing skills alone doesn’t mean AI helps with the ‘sense’ of creating videos.

To make a video stand out on YouTube, what’s crucial isn’t the editing skills but the fun it conveys.

And no matter how much AI assists in editing, emphasizing different aspects and deciding what to include or exclude from the same scene can make a huge difference in that fun factor.

Yet, to think of using one’s friend for such a critical position as a YouTube editor.

No matter how Ji-an is seen as a benefactor who led Yidohyuk to broadcasting even from the viewers’ perspective, being his older brother’s friend, in business, one must be cold-hearted.

Especially now, with Yidohyuk’s growing influence, various MCNs and renowned editors must be rushing to collaborate.

-Hmm…

-Expanding connections…

-This is a bit…

Naturally, viewers’ reactions couldn’t be anything but unfavorable.

Especially concerning are the fans who have crossed over from Yidohyuk’s broadcasts.

There were sporadic chats expressing anticipation, but they were not the mainstream.

Click-

“Hey! Check this out for now!”

In response to such public opinion, Ji-an immediately pressed the play button on the video.

A face overflowing with confidence for some reason.

And what appeared was…

Woo-

The video starting with background music reminiscent of a hornpipe.

『Rise of Valhalla』

A video editing Yidohyuk’s Valhalla gameplay.

Still in its introduction, it captured the grand atmosphere unique to Valhalla well.

[-Who will be the first to become Odin’s warrior!]

First, a massive Viking exuding extraordinary force appears.

-Kya

-Lord Yorund

-Lord? Now he’s just Dohyuk-sensei goofing around kekeke

-Yobong-ah…

-Yorund.. Yound.. What?

-LOL

Enter Yorund.

With that, the video started.

.

.

.

Woodeok─!!

Flames spreading around Idohyuk’s legs as the torch snapped.

Followed by the sight of a falling soldier.

Sizzle-!

Overlaying on that, Hoken’s distinctive Hongyeomgak effect.

Time slowing down, showing Idohyuk unleashing Hongyeomgak in Valhalla, intercut with scenes of him playing against Hoken.

As Idohyuk’s arrow was shot in the exact same posture, it perfectly overlapped.

-Wow

-Wa

-Kya, insane

-This scene is seriously lit

A significant number of viewers watching Jian’s broadcast live witnessed this scene.

Naturally, there was nothing but admiration.

And as the video playback speed returned to normal and the next scene began to play.

Click-

“Hmm. We’ve watched what your friend sent up to this point… What do you think?”

Jian asked, pausing the video.

A question that viewers could only respond to in one way.

The video compressed and condensed Idohyuk’s Valhalla play, extracting only the essence, presenting it with various effects and angles, captivating viewers without them realizing how time flew by.

-Amazing.. Incredible!

-Jian Chu has a friend with such skills?

-Kya

-Wow, time just flew by ㅋㅋㅋ

-Editing skills are out of this world;;

Ding-

[“Kim Bongpal58 has donated 10,000 won.”]

-It must be a favoritism hire…;; Brought them in just through connections..

-LOL

-That was the connection, huh ㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh ㅋㅋ This kind of hiring is the real deal

Praise and accolades poured in for Jian’s connections.

**

Sigh-

Before turning on the broadcast, Ido-hyuk, who had finished his workout and shower.

It hadn’t been long, but training his body before the start of the broadcast had become a kind of routine for him.

Once you start a broadcast, you end up spending a long time doing it, and that’s how it turned out for him.

“It’s quite… fun.”

At first, he didn’t think much about it and was more on the side of starting for the money.

But now, Ido-hyuk was finding some enjoyment in internet broadcasting.

Especially, interacting with viewers and continuing the broadcast was quite fun.

Sometimes, he would burst out laughing unknowingly while watching the jokes in the chat.

“I should step up my game too.”

Ido-hyuk suddenly made such a resolution.

Come to think of it, other than the first day of the broadcast, hasn’t he shown his humor sense?

Although viewers mock it as MZ humor, Ido-hyuk knew well that viewers actually liked his jokes deep down.

Truly, viewers were the tsundere of the audience.

Ring!

Ring!

Anyway, the broadcast began like that.

Unlike yesterday, today Ido-hyuk started the broadcast right on time for the regular broadcast start.

He was so focused on his workout that he didn’t realize how time flew by until the alarm he set 30 minutes before the broadcast start time rang.

[Current viewers: 218]

[Current viewers: 1,375]

[Current viewers: 2,723]

[Current viewers: 3,011]

Perhaps that’s why viewers were pouring in at such a fast pace.

Not even before Ido-hyuk could greet in the opening.

The number of viewers had already exceeded 3,000.

Even though he hit a peak of 35,000 viewers yesterday, having almost 1/10 of that number rushing in before 10 seconds into the broadcast was unusual.

It meant that viewers had been eagerly waiting for Ido-hyuk to appear.

“Did I end the broadcast too abruptly yesterday?”

It was around the usual time, but he had suddenly turned it off without any signs of ending.

From the viewers’ perspective, today’s broadcast might have been even more anticipated because of that.

– Breathe!!!!

– Did you hear the news??

– Wow

– Kya

– Do-ha

– Doha!

– Our winner is here

– Hoo

– Ha

-Heading for the trophy, whoosh!

However, it seemed that Cha, the current viewer, was not just speeding for that reason alone.

As the chat window quickly filled up, a few messages caught Idohyuk’s eye.

“Seung? Trophy?”

-Yes

-There will be a tournament held on Twok soon!

-Teacher Do is really aiming for the win hahahaha

-Wow, if it’s this much, isn’t it a sniper tournament for Teacher Do?

-hahahaha, it’s like pushing for EVO

Numerous speedwagon responses appeared in response to Idohyuk’s question.

Although not fully explained, Idohyuk had no trouble understanding what the viewers were talking about.

‘They must be talking about that incident.’

Previously, Anatol had mentioned it to him as a slight against him.

He had said that there would be an Iron Fist tournament held on Twok soon, and the participants would be streamers above a certain rank in Iron Fist, so it would be good to start preparing in advance.

That was also why Idohyuk had been solely focusing on Iron Fist yesterday.

‘He told me to act ignorant.’

Since it was still a conversation circulating only among Anatol and a few other insiders, he had asked to pretend not to know about it even if news of the tournament spread later.

“Oh, a tournament? An Iron Fist tournament, huh? Is that being held on Twok?”

From Noble mtl dot com

Thus, Idohyuk began his performance.

-?

-Teacher, did you know about this?

-Acting tone;

-Info) The only thing this person can’t do is act hahahaha

-hahahaha how will you do commercials later

Whether that approach actually worked was still unknown…

“Hmm.”

Idohyuk smoothly clicked on a link.

A kind viewer had already posted a link to his Twok community.

And Idohyuk’s first stop was there.

“I’ll take a look. The prize money… hmm.”

-hahahaha

-This is clearly a disappointment to anyone who sees it

-hahahaha the prize money is a bit stingy

Though it was listed in USD, once converted to Korean won, it was only about 1 million won.

It wasn’t a small amount of money, but it still felt lacking.

Of course, it was not the most important thing; it was just the first thing that caught his eye.

Having already heard from Anatol that this streamer tournament was a qualifier for EVO.

‘I heard EVO had substantial prize money.’

Rumor had it that last year’s prize for winning was $500,000.

Even just placing without winning had significant prize money attached.

Of course, Ido-hyuk was only thinking about winning, nothing else.

“Alright. Let’s see. The qualifications for the competition, my broadcast time, and rank…”

At that moment.

While looking for more information about the competition, Ido-hyuk.

“…”

His eyes widened.

Normally, Ido-hyuk would hook viewers with lots of teasers.

“???”

But today, the situation was reversed.

Ido-hyuk’s face went from wide-eyed to ‘?’

– Huh?

– hahahaha, what’s with that Dosensei’s expression

His gaze fell on a figure in the background of the page displaying competition-related information.

A man with smooth, muscular features reminiscent of a black panther.

His face was quite familiar.

“This guy…”

“Why is this… jerk here?”

Kwabna.

The Barbarian Champion.

One of the 9 heroes.

The appearance of an old colleague encountered for the first time since the regression.
