[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 101

SCV Dormitory.

Bandetta Kim Kang-Han let out a long yawn.

“Is there nothing interesting happening…?”

What was making him bored was none other than the recent match with Y So Games (YSG).

He had gone to the arena with high hopes, but sadly, it was not nearly as entertaining as the scrim they had before.

No, it was a one-sided match.

‘Well, anyway, Outlaw wasn’t even registered on the roster…’

Even knowing this, Kim Kang-Han found himself unconsciously hoping for a reunion with Outlaw.

‘I really wanted to get my revenge this time.’

For the past week, whenever he had free time, Kim Kang-Han replayed the scrim match they had with YSG.

How Outlaw played the game.

What judgments were made.

He didn’t miss a single detail and absorbed everything in his mind.

That alone showed how shocking the defeat had been for SCV and Kim Kang-Han.

Maybe because of that, he felt that he had grown quite a bit in a relatively short time.

In fact, since then, his performance in both scrims and competitions had significantly improved.

‘Something feels off. Why does a Prisoner keep coming to mind?’

Of course, it is said that extremes connect, and it’s true that as junglers, if they go to extremes, they will inevitably meet at some point.

But still…

‘Isn’t it too much?’

For some reason, Kim Kang-Han kept overlapping Outlaw’s play with that of a Prisoner.

‘Well, that’s probably not the case.’

And time passed.

[Victory]

…

[Victory]

In the upcoming scrim with YSG, Kim Kang-Han easily secured victories, leaving him puzzled.

The total number of games played against YSG today was six.

Having crushed the first three games, normally Outlaw would have come out by now.

But strangely, the opposing jungler from YSG had been DieHard in all six games.

“Is Outlaw not coming out?”

“Didn’t you hear? He left the team.”

“…Huh?”

What kind of nonsense is this?

Kim Kang-Han couldn’t hide his confusion at King, Park Wang-Gi, who was responsible for both top and socializing within the team.

Left the team?

“…Didn’t you know? Don’t you have any friends on other teams?”

“None.”

“Well, who would be friends with you if they weren’t like me? You quirky weirdo.”

“Shut up.”

After a moment of meaningless banter, Kim Kang-Han finally learned that Outlaw had suddenly left the team.

“…Does that even make sense? A dropout?”

“I don’t know if it makes sense, but that’s what the kids are saying.”

“The kids? Who?”

“Don’t you know?”

“Of course… I don’t.”

This guy is making me speechless.

Shaking his head, Kim Kang-Han returned to his spot.

He had to start his stream soon to fulfill his mandatory broadcast time.

After all, he needed to practice and he found it quite fun to interact with fans live, so there was no reason to hesitate.

-Ban-ha

-Hi hi hi hi

-Why are you so late?

-Congratulations on the victory!

“Ah… Yes. Thank you. It’s all thanks to your support.”

-That’s such a forced compliment haha

-For real lol

-Just spit a little and keep lying

“Hey, how did you know that?”

-Ah… uh…!

-Teacher, now your inner thoughts are escaping your mouth.

-For real lol

-For real lol, that guy is here again, get him out, where’s the manager?

-You get out.

As always, leaving behind the peaceful scenery of the chat, Kim Kang-Han was still lost in thoughts about Outlaw.

Where in the world did he go?

‘Could he be streaming somewhere?’

There wasn’t no basis for this thought.

Given the nature of professional gamers in Legends of League, their range of activities was limited, and if they didn’t plan to become a pro at a young age, the biggest possibility left was to stream online.

With a glimmer of hope, Kim Kang-Han searched for various names on Blue TV.

[Outlaw]

[아웃로우]

[탈주범]

Of course, no results came up.

‘I knew it.’

A player of that caliber streaming? That’s just absurd.

If he marched into SY or SCV right now, they’d likely accept him without question, right?

‘Could it be overseas?’

If so, there’s a chance that the next Red Cup trophy won’t go to Korea.

No, more than that…

‘…If I meet Outlaw again at the Red Cup, can I hold my ground?’

Not winning but enduring.

Kim Kang-Han was instinctively considering that first, which showed how massive an impact Outlaw had left on him.

-? What are you doing?

-Our leader is searching for something weird?

-Feeling like a dropout?

Kim Kang-Han had stopped the queue to search for strange names in the Blue TV search bar, making the viewers curious.

“Uh… that’s not it…”

What can I say? He didn’t dwell on the same worries. He could just let it go as usual.

-? Just skating past it

-For real, what’s with his personality?

‘…Let’s get back to the queue.’

After all, a player of Outlaw’s skill level would surely make it to the Red Cup one way or another.

No matter what league that would be.

Just as Kim Kang-Han was mentally resolving himself and turning the queue, it happened.

-? It’s Red TV, not Blue TV! That Outlaw.

-Leader!

-Outlaw is streaming on Red TV right now!

He finally checked the chat a bit later after focusing on Ban/Pick.

“What? What did you say?”

-You know the person the leader was looking for, they’re streaming on Red TV, not Blue TV.

“…Outlaw?”

-Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

-See, I told you.

-For real, it’s so frustrating lol

-Please hurry, I feel like I’m going to blow a fuse.

Under the urging of the viewers, Kim Kang-Han also left Ban/Pick behind and opened the Red TV homepage.

Then, cautiously typing Outlaw into the search bar, his eyes widened.

“…Huh?”

[ON AIR] [Outlaw111]

-GM1) Rank 1 No-Ban Streaming

It’s real.

Outlaw is actually streaming.

‘The tier is Grand Master. It’s certain. But suddenly, what’s with the number one no-ban stream? …Well, if it’s Outlaw, it’s possible.’

Kim Kang-Han couldn’t comprehend why Outlaw was unexpectedly streaming, especially doing a Challenger rank one no-ban.

But his hands moved faster than his brain.

Normally, he shouldn’t be showing screens from other platforms while broadcasting on Blue TV, but right now, Kim Kang-Han didn’t have time for those minor details.

To be honest, he didn’t even know about such restrictions.

“Finally found you—”

After one round of ads, when Outlaw’s stream started, Kim Kang-Han’s mouth fell open.

White hair elegantly falling down.

Mysterious red-brown eyes.

A slightly oversized hoodie.

“…Huh?”

Huh huh huh?

Is this Outlaw?

The one going wild in the scrims?

‘What the?’

Did I walk into the wrong place?

No, the Legends of League client is definitely up…?

An expletive slipped from Kim Kang-Han’s mouth.

“…Insane.”

Outlaw… was a girl?

And with looks like that… does she think she’s an elf? She can’t possibly have spent over a hundred years just playing League of Legends, can she? This makes no sense!

And that wasn’t the only shocking fact.

The screen Kim Kang-Han was watching happened to have numerous spectators in attendance.

-???????????

-What a beauty!

-Is she a real person?

Oh right, the stream was on.

Only then did Kim Kang-Han realize something else.

He could clearly predict how his viewers would react now.

-Let’s charge!

-Bandetta, it was fun, bye-bye!

-Let’s gooooooo!

Viewers started going wild.

‘…I messed up.’

He had inadvertently caused huge trouble for Outlaw’s stream.

“Guys! Stop! Wait! This is all a burden!”

Of course, the viewers wouldn’t hear his desperate cries.

*

[Viewer Count: 175]

The viewers surged like an avalanche and stopped just before reaching 200.

-Help! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!

-How can someone so pretty be a Grand Master? The world isn’t fair.

-Even with a 100% win rate, she doesn’t seem like just a Grand Master, haha.

-Is she Korean?

-What’s her main tier?

-Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!

“Uh, um… so…”

What’s happening? What’s going on?

The kind of stream I thought would gradually build with viewers wasn’t like this at all.

I expected one viewer at a time, building slowly, getting to a comfortable spot… something like that…

-Whoa, can you speak Korean well?

-For real, is she Korean?

-Is that a contacting lens? The color is really mesmerizing.

-Which forest did you come from? I need to report you for illegal immigration.

-Get out of here… lol, take it easy.

-For real lol, who would’ve thought a blue house nerd would be this crazy?

It was dizzying.

Something was definitely wrong or, to put it more accurately, while things were going well, it still felt like it was going wrong somehow.

‘…I don’t know what’s going on, but…’

This is an opportunity.

A great opportunity for my 100 million project that’s just a month away from success.

“…Hello?”

Not knowing what to do, he just greeted them.

-Hi hi hi hi hi hi

-Hello!

“Are you really doing a no-ban stream?”

-? Is that real?

-The confidence is something else, whoa!

The effect was tremendous.

-Is that really your ID?

-100% win rate Grand Master, wow!

-Does that even make sense?

-Aren’t you going pro?

In the dizzying flow of chat, I couldn’t figure out how to respond.

Was this frustration in me?

『‘먕먕먕먕밍먕’ has gifted 1000 balloons.』

『“Respond”』

The first financial slap hit me.
