Only Weapon Master

Inside a bachelor apartment that could neither be called clean nor dirty.

There sat a 28-year-old man still in job-seeking status, sucking the marrow from his parents’ spines, focused intently on his computer screen.

The man’s name was Kang Ji-hoon.

Currently, Ji-hoon was watching VTuber Lucy’s broadcast with such an intense gaze that it seemed like he might burn a hole through his monitor.

One of the members presumed to be from the YongYong cult asked her about her MOL nickname, and

— “……YongYongLion, hmph. If you check my record, oh! The update is complete. Time to log in~”

She stated that her nickname was YongYongLion and was about to talk about her record, but then logged into the game since the MOL update was complete.

And then.

‘Welcome to the battlefield, YongYongLion.’

The message that appeared as soon as she logged into the game.

Ji-hoon confirmed that YongYongLion was at the front of the message and.

“It… it’s true, Lucy is YongYongLion…!!”

Though there had been much circumstantial evidence, there was no definitive proof, so he got goosebumps all over his arms at the fact that she was really YongYongLion.

Moreover, among the viewers watching her broadcast besides the YongYong cult, those who recognized the name ‘YongYongLion’ started typing question marks, and the chat was flooded with them.

— “Huh? What did I do? Why are you suddenly spamming question marks? And what’s this? Dormancy penalty…?”

Lucy ignored the chat spam and expressed confusion about the penalty notification in front of her.

“Hmm. Seems like you don’t know about the dormancy penalty… well, makes sense.”

YongYongLion’s MOL playing period is just over 2 months.

If she had known about this penalty, she wouldn’t have abandoned MOL for 3 months.

That’s why Ji-hoon felt that although YongYongLion’s tier was godly, she seemed to lack some basic knowledge about MOL.

“Ugh.. look at those points getting slashed…”

Since his own tier was Silver, he had neither experienced nor seen such penalties, but YongYongLion was losing about 100 LP each time she cleared a penalty window.

— “Why did they create such a useless thing? Is this a direct shot at Riot? What if it is? What are you going to do? You know it’s useless… What?! ‘If it bothers you, you should have played the game’? Tsk. Manager, kick that person out. I told you not to bother me when I’m in a bad mood. Ha…shi. I’ve fallen all the way to Master…? Argh!!!”

Currently, Yong-yong, no, she should now be called Lucy, was extremely annoyed about the dormancy penalty and being demoted to Master because of it.

— “Why am I so angry? Well, wouldn’t you be? All the time and memories I spent playing this game have turned to ashes… ah, I’m losing motivation… So should I quit MOL and play another game? Good suggestion. But I only know MOL. Anyway, I can climb back up……”

“Whew… shit, I really thought she was going to quit MOL and got scared… that bastard calling that a question.”

Ji-hoon was relieved when Lucy said she would continue playing MOL, and sent a chat full of expletives to the viewer who suggested playing another game.

Having confirmed that she was YongYongLion, he moved her broadcast to his side monitor and connected to the MOL gallery where he invested most of his time.

────

[You said she went to study in China, you bastard, did you learn Chinese from Romance of the Three Kingdoms? YongYongLion is Korean!!!][5]

[But why a VTuber?][3]

[Wow. Not an impostor but the real thing.][2]

[Since the real gallery owner has returned, I hope all other bastards will immediately vacate the gallery.][3]

────

He wasn’t the only one happy that YongYongLion’s identity had been revealed; other YongYong cult members also expressed their joy by writing posts.

However, where there are fans, there are also anti-fans.

────

Can’t we stop talking about YongYongLion in the MOL gallery?

Yeah, congratulations on finding your master. But please create a separate gallery to celebrate, you fucking bastards

How are there more YongYongLion related posts than MOL Cup posts?

Admin you bastard. Aren’t you working?

────

“Tsk. These fucking bastards are causing so much trouble.”

Since there were also users who didn’t like Lucy, chaos unfolded in the gallery.

“Haah… is Padak not working…? Ah. He was also in the YongYong cult…fuck.”

He sighed, thinking about Padak who had abandoned his responsibilities after being given the moderator badge, and grabbed his mouse.

Though he was a jobless bum sucking his parents dry in real life,

He was also the rightful administrator of the MOL gallery, maintaining peace with just one mouse.

— Click.

[This post has been deleted.]

“Phew… cleaned up all the trash. Now…”

— Type type type.

Ji-hoon was typing diligently.

And before being an administrator, he was a fan of Lucy (YongYongLion), so.

[★Required Reading for YongYong Cult★]

(Administrator)

From now on, we will rename ourselves from YongYong Cult to Lucy Cult.

Therefore, please call her Lucy instead of YongYongLion.

Please don’t fight with the existing viewers who were watching Lucy’s broadcast.

It could harm her.

3(Important★) I will create a separate gallery just for Lucy. (I’ll write a post after it’s completely set up.)

So don’t write posts about Lucy. There’s a possibility the gallery name might be changed.

P.S) Transferring MOL gallery admin rights to Padak thx

—(Padak) : You admin bastard. What about my opinion? I’m in the Lucy cult too, why are you putting a leash on me? This is friendly fire, you fucker!!

└ (Administrator) : You can pass it to someone else too.

└ Damn, the gallery has been running just fine

— ..Sigh, at least the MOL gallery name wasn’t changed, that’s something.

— I learned how one person can spread terrible influence thanks to that YongYong bitch lol

└ It’s not YongYong, now it’s Lucy. And don’t you know how your parents’ lives became destitute after you were born? Tsk. Well, if you knew, you probably wouldn’t have left such a pathetic comment here.

└ Ouch… burn

— Never come back, you malicious bastards

— But only deleting posts criticizing Lucy makes me want to flick someone on the forehead?

└(Administrator) : Then do you want to be the administrator?

└(Comment author) : What?

└(Padak) : Just transfer it directly to this bastard.

— Focus on Gald Cup. Idiots lol We’re going to Lu-gal.

Most users knew that the administrator himself was a fan of YongYongLion.

That’s why they considered it fortunate that at least the MOL gallery name hadn’t become the Lucy gallery.

Ji-hoon, after writing the post to inform the YongYong cult, was preparing to transition from the MOL gallery to the Lucy gallery.

“Oh. She found a game.”

Of course, after her broadcast ended.

♦♦♦

I was surprised to experience the dormancy penalty for the first time today, and I was irritated about being demoted to Master, but that was it.

Since winning wouldn’t be that difficult with my skills anyway, I decided to enjoy MOL after a long time.

-Bang!

The sound of the game being found.

“Hmph~ Game found!”

— She’s so excited lol

— With this kind of tension, maybe there won’t be an early end to today’s broadcast?

— How badly did she want to play the game?

— Ugh… Lucy’s nose breathing sounds are really stimulating…ahk..!!

— Manager, you bastard, why aren’t you kicking the comment above?

— [FemaleTranslator] : I don’t know, you bastard. You told me to only kick spam and political talk. And it’s not like I wanted to do this, so why should I follow your orders? You get out, bastard.

[SmallBreastsBecomeWhenTouched] has been kicked.

Even as viewers were fighting in the chat, Ara closely observed what her team was picking.

[Kyukyuk! I, the chief of Cat Village, have arrived meow!]

‘Haah…’

As soon as Yuni’s portrait appeared on her screen, her brow furrowed and she could only sigh internally.

— But why is this person suddenly not talking?

— Kya, noona’s frowning face is so cute♥

— Umm.

— …I don’t know.

“Haah… I don’t like cats…”

— But it’s a broadcast… right? Let’s act normal… please

— Lucy, can’t you endure it and play the game?

— Is this your first time seeing Lucy play a game?

— That’s right, as far as I know Lucy doesn’t have past lives, so why are you suddenly trying to soothe her?

— Shut up and quickly butter her up, you bastard. Unless you want to see the Lucy you’re watching get enshrined in Nemuwiki’s Incidents·Accidents Controversy section

“Hmm? What should I endure? And what Incidents·Accidents Controversy?”

Ara didn’t know that she was famous in the gallery as YongYongLion, so she couldn’t understand the flow of chats from the Lucy cult.

— I don’t know what you’re talking about ei.ther.

— It’s nothing^^ Go Lucy-nim!

— Why do they pick that Hyeji, tsk

— Those bastards have no physical skills, so if they don’t pick that, they can’t climb tiers lol

— Ah~ I want to kill a cat.

“Hmm. You’re strange people. Why are you cursing our support who’s just sitting there? And why kill a cat that’s just sitting there?”

— Shi…ha, forget it..

— Why should I be called a strange person by that girl because of you guys?

— Let’s bear it… bear it…

— I really want to kill…

Of course, even the Lucy cult found Lucy’s annoying way of speaking unbearable enough to want to beat her to death.

“Now, it’s my turn to pick. Hmm..”

Ara was pondering between Mass Swordsman and Science Knight.

[My death is like science.]

— Whew. Ruience Knight!

— To think I’d live to see this in first person… I’m glad I lived! Sob sob

— I’ve asked twice where you’ve seen Lucy play games before.

— Yongyongyong…!! Go Lucy!!

The game started with the Science Knight pick.

《For the victory of Western!》

— One! Two! Three!

— Lu.cy fighting!!!

— Fighting!!

— Step aside, newbies, General Lu is coming!!

“Thanks for the cheers, everyone. Let’s see… my opponent is… Fencing Girl.”

— Knife VS Knife

— I’m really excited…

“Hmm? Since Fencing Girl uses a rapier as a weapon, it should be knife VS rapier.”

— What? It’s knife champ versus knife champ. What’s this about fencing?

— She’s having a strange conversation with herself again.

— Lucy-nim. You know what “knife champ” means, right?

“Yes. A knife champ is a champion holding a knife. Things like rapiers aren’t knives.”

Ara believed that her knowledge was correct.

However, that was only what Ara herself thought, and the meaning of ‘knife champ’ established by social convention was different.

— What fucking nonsense is she talking?

— Lucy-nim, the term “knife champ” refers to specific champions who, if they grow well, can fight the entire enemy team and win. The opposite is becoming a shitty champion if they don’t grow well.

— Just think of knife champs as champions with good performance but high difficulty.

The viewers diligently explained to Ara the correct knowledge of what a knife champ is, but.

“Hmm. No, no. Knife champ is a shortened term combining knife and champion. What you’re talking about is a high difficulty champion.”

— Aaaagh! Fuck, that’s not it!

— Why is she so stubborn?

— You bitch, society has established that’s what knife champ means?

— Host, the high difficulty champions you just mentioned are knife champs, got it? Why are you being so damn stubborn?

— Fucker, a rapier is a knife too!

Ara’s stubbornness was so strong that even CEO Kim Yeji could barely persuade her, but.

“Sigh. Forget it. What’s the point of teaching you all? Be quiet, I need to start the lane phase.”

Since Ara herself wasn’t aware that she was being stubborn, she thought the viewers were the ones being obstinate.

— I really want to kill this bitch

— CEO… CEO come out!!

— Why is she using Heungseon Daewongun-style rhetoric on her own?

— Stubborn Lucy is cute♥

— What stubbornness? I want to crack her head open with a bowl?

Ignoring the viewers’ chats who were dying of frustration, Ara focused on the lane phase.

However, the opposing Fencing Girl seemed intimidated by Ara’s nickname and wouldn’t engage.

As the lane phase stagnated because Fencing Girl kept backing off, at that moment.

Ara confirmed that the opponent had crossed the line slightly. Very, very slightly.

She quickly rushed at the opponent.

The opponent, seemingly flustered by her sudden charge, frantically fired off skills in predictable patterns.

‘Head, left arm, right shoulder……’

She identified in advance where Fencing Girl’s skills would hit just before they connected, avoided them all while simultaneously dealing damage.

‘By now…’

[LV5] ─> [LV6]

Just as she had calculated, an enemy team’s CS died to our team’s CS, giving her experience to reach level 6 and unlock her ultimate ability.

She released her pre-gathered energy in a whirlwind, launching the opponent into the air.

[Pay the Sound!]

She used her ultimate to mercilessly slash the opponent.

In the end, the future awaiting the opposing Fencing Girl who kept getting hit by Ara was

[YongYongLion has slain an enemy.]

nothing but death.

— This is insane…

— So awesome

— She dodged all the opponent’s skills with just movement?

— …I don’t think I can watch anyone else’s MOL broadcasts anymore..

— Was she this good…? First-person perspective is really different..

Viewers were amazed by her play.

“Well. It’s just basic stuff… hmph”

For the first time since starting today’s broadcast, Ara’s mood was significantly uplifted by the viewers’ praise.

And with her greatly improved mood, the result of the game was.

.

.

.

《Defeat!》

— This girl is really a double bitch.

— What are you doing?

— You’re really doing this even during a broadcast?

— Is this trolling?

— I don’t know, it’s all the cat’s fault so everyone shut up!

— You crazy bitch, are you insane?

“But… I have a cat allergy so I couldn’t team fight with it. Oh, that person knows the core of our defeat. It’s the cat’s fault, yes. It’s the fault of the person who picked a cat despite a teammate having a cat allergy.”

Facing a result that seemed familiar from somewhere

“Hmm. It’s almost 10:30. I’ll be going now.”

— Just one more! Let’s do just one more match, okay?

— Is this for real?

— You throw the game and then end the broadcast? Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?

— If you end the broadcast here, it’s not the cat’s fault but yours, fucking fabricator.

— What gaslighting are you experiencing? It’s clearly the host’s fault for throwing the game.

“The next broadcast will be. Hmm… not sure, but I’ll do it sometime this week. Bye~”

[Lucy’s broadcast has ended.]

Ara just said what she wanted to say and left, seemingly oblivious to the countless viewer complaints.

— No. Ha, she really ended it..

— Well. She did say she’d broadcast until 10:30. Tsk

— But what did this girl say at the very end?

— I pray my ears were wrong and I misheard. Really…

— Hmm… not sure, but I’ll do it sometime this week?

— What do you mean you’re not sure? This week? Are you kidding?

— Mika said she’d come tomorrow before ending her broadcast, but why is this one saying sometime this week?

— VT, you bastards, is this how you do business?

— What did we do wrong…

And so, Ara’s individual debut broadcast was (?) successfully concluded.
