[TS] Obsessed Gamer: The Ultimate Return – Chapter 149

The electronic broadcast didn’t continue.

I guess I took the random noise too seriously.

However, other viewers’ chats and the electronic broadcast filled the empty space.

-?

-???

-ㅗㅜㅑ

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

-What’s this?

-ㅗㅜㅑㅗㅜㅑㅗㅜㅑ…

-Donmi-sae on

-What’s going on?

-You’re really going to do it????

-For real?

-ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ

-Is something big coming?

-Waiting, waiting

『‘Outlaw) Kim Mumu’ has gifted 10 balloons.』

『“If I finish the closed asylum, it’ll be a thousand.”』

I was momentarily intrigued, but I shook my head. I instinctively thought I shouldn’t nod so easily.

“Hmm, a thousand, huh…”

-A bit ambiguous

-Adjust the price

-Are you really going to do it?

-Ah, lol, a thousand balloons for a BJ with 200,000 live viewers is crossing the line

-For real

-Adjust the price

『‘Outlaw) Kim Mumu’ has gifted 10 balloons.』

『“Two thousand.”』

-Hmm

-Not realistic

-Who’s going to pay for that?

-What are the die-hard fans doing?

-For real, are they all asleep?

-Not for a horror game with two thousand~

-Those broke folks pushing for it as if they’re donating themselves, lol

-For real, for real

-You guys should donate some

Honestly, I was thinking about agreeing at this point, but the viewers were ramping up the chaos even more.

‘Um, is it not time yet?’

Regardless of everything, I’m still considered a rookie as a broadcaster.

I thought I needed to observe the situation for now.

How long did I wait like that?

『‘Creamy Outlaw’ has gifted 100 balloons.』

『“If you accept, I’ll give you another 10,000.”』

-Oh, lol

-Nice

-Good

-This is it

-Freaking amazing

-Die-hard fans class ㄷㄷㄷ

“…Deal.”

To be honest, I wasn’t thrilled about doing Closed Asylum 2, but the reason I accepted was simple.

I didn’t know how much of the remaining scenario there was, but since I had progressed quite a bit a few days prior, I figured I’d clear it soon.

But that wasn’t the only reason.

‘Closed Asylum provided a good chance for great donations.’

In Red TV, there’s often talk about “windless” games.

Literally, it refers to games where balloon donations don’t pop up often, and Legends of League is one of the prime examples of such a “windless” game.

Due to the nature of Legends of League, missions that yield donations through victories or kills don’t easily appear.

Of course, I, as a rookie BJ, had received a fair number of balloons over the past month, though.

Well, that’s that…

When I played Closed Asylum 2, every little mission and balloon popped, and considering that, this wasn’t a bad mission.

It wasn’t just about mission gifts; additional donations could be worth aiming for as well.

‘But I still don’t feel like it…’

The first time I played, I didn’t know what horror games were about, and my naive curiosity led me on, but things are different now.

I am all too aware of the stress horror games can cause.

【Uuuuuuu─】

As soon as I turned on Closed Asylum 2 after a long time, the creepy background screen welcomed me.

-Uuuuuuuu

-What’s scary about this? But why are the lights off?

-ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ

-Is the loading screen really about that many kills? For real, the scaredy-cats are legendary…

-Is the host scared? Lol

“…I’m not scared.”

Oh, I’m totally scared.

-ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ

-Going right in

-Starting from where we left off last time

-I was bummed it cut off suddenly

[Current viewers: 231,115]

As I began the horror game, 10,000 viewers exited immediately.

I thought it was surprisingly low, but considering there might be new viewers coming in due to the horror game, that made sense.

‘Once the ghosts start appearing for real… it’ll definitely drop.’

It had been like that before.

And then…

The game officially began.

*

Closed Asylum 2, in short, is a game where the protagonist enters a closed asylum and tries to escape from there.

Honestly, if you’re going to escape, wouldn’t it be better not to enter in the first place? But horror genres always seem to work that way.

“What’s this? It’s blocked?”

-Shouldn’t I go back?

-Was there a place on the second floor that I didn’t check?

-Look for a key

“Ah, damn….”

I moved as stealthily as I could to a spot where the ghost might not appear, but the developers never made it easy.

They were absolutely aware of how to make players’ hearts race while playing cat-and-mouse with a ghost.

Maybe that’s why.

【Kyaaaa!!!】

Before long, I found myself welcoming a ghost with open arms.

“AAAAAAAAH!”

It’s kinda weird that a scream like that comes from my throat now.

How could I hold that back?

[You have died.]

-Ugh

-Ah

-My heart’s going to drop

-My eyes

-Frick, extreme hate

-Ugh

-What a face, dammit

-For real, my heart almost exploded

-Oh, damn

-20,000 kills in ten seconds, lol

-Lol, a ghost crushes the 20th floor that couldn’t even be broken in a tournament, haha

『‘Do Re Mi Fa Sol Radio’ has gifted 500 balloons.』

『“Nice voice. I’ll give you 500 points.”`

As expected, viewers were dropping off, but on the flip side, balloon gifts started coming in nicely.

“…Thank you for the 500.”

-LOL

-Voice joke, haha

-Not a bad concept

-LOL

Heart pounding—

It felt like my heart could literally explode, but I already knew from experience.

That doing this would eventually lead me to a point where I’d become desensitized, given time.

【Kyaaaaa!!!】

Yeah, just like now.

“Come on, stop appearing, you jerk!”

[You have died.]

-LOLOLOLOLOL

-Now I’m actually mad, lol

-I’m getting used to it, it’s not that scary

-For real, lol, it’s not scary at all, I’m just going to sleep with chocolate tonight

-Sis… I’m so scared… stop it…

『‘Outlaw’s Slave’ has gifted 1,000 balloons.』

『“I always enjoy watching. I’m cheering for you!”`

Slowly,

the night of horror gaming passed by.

*

In the remaining two days until my promise with Father, I did everything I could.

“Come on, stop coming out already!”

I finally cleared that infuriating horror game,

[Successfully escaped the asylum.]

[END]

-Finally

-Yay

Using skill rather than guides, lol

-Why is the host dodging ghosts like it’s nothing after just a few hours, lol

-For real, truly talented, haha

-I miss the host who was squealing cutely…

“…I never squealed.”

-Who would know?

-Of course, of course

-If you say so, then that’s how it is

-If you argue back, you’re right

With a stiff body, I did all kinds of goofy dance reactions.

『‘Dance God Dance King’ has gifted 1,000 balloons.』

『“If you dance for one minute, I’ll give you a thousand.”`

-Oh…

-A thousand per minute?

-Yay

-This is it

-Freaking amazing

-So this is how the Dance God Dance King operates, haha

-I didn’t expect you to show up this late, considering you’ve only been following female streamers, haha

“…A thousand per minute? I’ll do it. I have to.”

If it’s a thousand per minute, there’s no reason to measure anything; I just have to do it.

With such an absurdly casual mindset, my first dance was downright tragic…

-Stiff

-Ugh

-Is that a wooden puppet?

-Healthy

-Healthy

-ㅗㅜㅑ

-Healthy

-ㅗㅜㅑㅗㅜㅑ

-Healthy

-Please just play the game

-Healthy

-ㅗㅜㅑ, let’s get those hesitant folks out of here

-For real, lol

-Healthy

-Healthy

…I feel a wave of self-loathing.

But sadly, my self-esteem and earnings were inversely proportional.

As my self-esteem crumbled, the ironic reality was that my incoming donations kept increasing.

『‘Muuu~ulso’ has gifted 10,000 balloons.』

『“10 more minutes.”`

-?

-Wow, damn

-Are they just tossing a thousand like that? ㄷㄷ

-10 minutes for 10,000??? Damn

-The country’s going crazy…

-I can already see the Red TV CEO grinning at his commission, haha

-Isn’t the stream over? Why am I still broadcasting? lol

…Those ruthless people.

“Ten more minutes…?”

-LOLOLOL

-Look at how trembling your voice is, haha

-If you got the money, you gotta do it

-For real, haha

“…I’ll keep going.”

Every movement felt awkward.

I’ve lived a life totally disconnected from dancing, so it was somewhat expected.

-Thought you were all talent during the horror game, but you can’t dance?! Haha

-While dodging skill shots like a pro, why is your dancing movement like that? lol

-For real, haha, look at the host biting their lips

『‘Outlaw’s Slave’ has gifted 5,000 balloons.』

『“Did you think it ended? 5 more minutes.”`

-LOLOLOLOLOL

-Just crying from laughter, haha

-Backstab from the faithful, haha

-ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ

-This is it

Amidst the shame and humiliation…

Finally, two days passed.

Looking back, those two days were some of the most intense times of my life.

“Phew…”

Standing quietly in front of Father’s study, I took a deep breath and carefully knocked on the door.

Knock knock—

“Come in.”

Slowly, the firmly closed study door opened.

Yet I forced myself to hide the tremble.

I was facing the first and greatest obstacle in forming my team.
