So I Just Have to Shoot and Kill Everyone Here, Right?
"I-I'm a dumbass......"
Lina was in the corner of the third-floor living room, head planted firmly on the floor in a full prostration.
"Haa...... Idiot."
Eo squatted beside her and openly let out a sigh aimed straight at Lina.
The CEO watched Lina from afar, eyes narrowed in silent disapproval.
Karen, stuck tight to my side, radiated a freezing aura that pressured everyone to explain the situation.
......To my ttyuttya brain, the whole thing felt like an absolute disaster.
Scary...... Everyone's......
"......Yeon-woo."
"Yes?"
The moment the CEO called my name, Karen's gaze snapped toward me.
......But only for a second.
"You go start your stream first."
"B-but......"
Was it really okay for me to bail in the middle of this? My feet refused to move.
"Go on. We'll explain everything to Karen."
"......Yes."
I was about to head to my room after Eo's gentle persuasion when──
"Ah, right. Yeon-woo."
The CEO's voice stopped me in my tracks. I spun around in a hurry.
"Yes?"
"I really didn't want to mess with your stream if I could help it...... but Underwatch grinds my gears too much. Switch games after this match."
"Understood."
I rushed back to my room and dropped into the gaming chair.
I'd been in such a hurry that I'd forgotten to bring water, but that wasn't important right now.
"......"
Our fans really are terrifying in the weirdest ways.
Still, I had to protect Uyeonha's cool and strong image, so I sat quietly in the chair and spoke as if nothing had happened.
"The water purifier was acting weird so I stopped to check it. That's why I was late."
"I'm not answering that dirty question. It was neither, seriously."
A quick glance at the Underwatch screen showed the match had already been found. I just needed to finish my pick.
"What should I play?"
Since the CEO asked for this to be the last game anyway, the ninja from the previous round hadn't felt right. I started looking for a different damage hero.
"Sniper?"
Now that I thought about it, ever since my body changed I'd shown ridiculous talent for sniping. It was the overwhelming physical ability I'd gained in exchange for my entire brain.
"Hmm...... Should I?"
I picked the female sniper character that represented Underwatch's hitscan playstyle. What was it called again? Hitscan?
Eo had explained it to me before. The kind of character that hits the enemy the instant you pull the trigger.
In a way, it was the character that suited my current body the most.
"Well, since it's the last game anyway, I can listen just this once?"
Winning the final match always feels better, right?
"Huh?"
Ah, I must have skipped too much explanation. The viewers think I'm trying to run away.
"No, the CEO told me to stop playing Underwatch because it pisses her off. So this is the last match."
I hurriedly checked the in-game chat after reading the stream chat.
"They're looking for an attacker, not me?"
No matter how fried my brain was, I still knew that "sniper" was short for──
"Ooh?"
I guess I could get it mixed up. They're really going in on me.
"Hmm...... Why do all our veteran friends start with insults instead of kindly explaining?"
"Hmm......"
It was the same with Zeg last time. And with Underwatch in general.
"......Is this just how broken games are?"
I pressed shift like the teammate ordered.
Shwoosh──!
A hook shot out from my character's hand, latched onto the wall, and carried me straight up to a high vantage point.
"Oh? So that's how it works?"
"That's easy enough!"
The problem with this body was purely the brain. In areas that required thinking and decision-making I struggled, but in fields solved by simple pre-input like this I was basically invincible.
In short, what all that meant was──
"So I just have to shoot them all from here, right?"
"Hmm......"
Who cares?
"I can do it! If it's me!"
"? What? Even if I'm cute, don't fall for me so easily."
Don't let this trash behavior make you simps. The CEO really might grab me and debut me in generation four.
"Alright."
Game has started.
The game started at the perfect moment.
"Let the bloodbath begin."
I focused on the front lines while listening to the female sniper's voice through my headset.
The wide-open sightlines let me see every enemy movement. This was exactly why the viewers had recommended a sniper character.
Shwoosh──!
Suddenly an enemy sniper's hook latched onto the high ground.
"Looks like they're coming."
I right-clicked to zoom in quickly──
Whish──!
I dragged my mouse toward the enemy sniper who appeared along the hook.
I could see a gauge filling below. The moment it hit 100 percent──
Bang──!
The gunshot rang out.
SeraStaffYeonHa → SniperKingKimSunJae
The first kill log of the game appeared in the top right. In other words, first blood.
"Phew...... There we go."
"Then let's keep going!!"
I really do seem to have insane talent for gun games!
Bang──!
Bang──!
SeraStaffYeonHa → PleaseUnbanMe
SeraStaffYeonHa → ChubbyCat123
Every time a gunshot rang out, another kill log appeared.
Occasionally tank characters wouldn't die from a single headshot, but──
Bang──!
Bang──!
Bang──!
After landing three consecutive headshots──
Bang──!
SeraStaffYeonHa → GrandmaTrashThiefKimJungHo
Hitting the downed pilot's head let me cleanly take out tanks too.
After cleanly killing the enemy tank, I released zoom and turned my head to spot an enemy support character.
Lucio.
"Oh?"
Using his passive wall ride, the enemy had closed the distance into my range and landed on the ground.
"Where do you think you're going!"
I didn't like the attitude of a mere healer trying to challenge a damage dealer, so I immediately right-clicked to aim at his head──
Whishwhishwhishwhishwhishwhishwhishwhish......
"Huh?"
At an incredibly fast speed, Lucio began strafing left and right.
It was as if he was taunting me to shoot if I could.
Account Suspended.
Reason: Profanity
"H-haha......"
He rubbed his eyes.
The current situation was so unbelievable he couldn't accept it.
"How does this make any sense?!"
Kim Professor, a variety game streamer active on PajiJik.
He usually enjoyed survival games but occasionally played hyper-FPS titles like this one. He'd logged into Underwatch only to see the suspension message and exploded in frustration.
"Haa...... Should I?"
For now he sent an inquiry to the game company about the possible false positive.
No matter how he thought about it, this ban had to be the company's mistake.
He was a streamer who almost never swore on broadcast. He didn't avoid it entirely, but he usually replaced it with high-level wordplay or indirect shade.
Obviously, since streaming was his job, he tried to avoid profanity in chat or voice as much as possible.
Sometimes he couldn't hold back if things got too heated, but he didn't remember doing it recently.
And it definitely hadn't been in Underwatch.
"Ah...... I really wanted to play Underwatch......"
Even if it was a false positive, was it right to log in again while suspended?
While he was hesitating──
"Right?"
"Ugh...... I'm really going to get labeled as a smurf now."
Still, he really wanted to play Underwatch today, so he followed the viewers' advice and made an alternate account.
His conscience stung a little, but he had to make a living somehow, right?
"To be honest I still have some morals, so today I'll just play healer and have fun."
Just like the viewers said, Underwatch was currently in a state where it was practically called Healerwatch. The influence of healing was enormous.
To be precise, tank influence was overwhelmingly high, followed by healers who received damage buffs, while the damage dealer role had become almost irrelevant.
He knew that, but......
"Tanks are boring so I won't."
He was playing Underwatch to have fun, not to do charity work.
He immediately queued as support.
The map that came up was Havana. With its wide open sightlines, it was also known as sniper heaven.
"There probably aren't any good snipers in this rank anyway, so I'll just play Lucio."
His team's tank had picked a character that countered snipers well anyway.
He chose the character he wanted and headed into battle──
Thud──!
SeraStaffYeonHa → PleaseUnbanMe
"Huh?"
His head was pierced in a single shot.
It was smurf-level sniping that shouldn't exist in the newbie zone.
"Hey hey! Don't say stuff that makes me look bad! I didn't make an alt to smurf!"
Even as he said that, he was starting to feel something was off.
Thud──!
Thud──!
The crisp, clear critical hit sound that played whenever a sniper landed a headshot.
Every time it rang through his headset, another teammate fell.
"Tsk......! This needs an answer."
At this rate they would clearly lose without even breaking the first square.
Using the fact that snipers had narrow vision while zoomed, he asked the tank to draw aggro.
Then, using Lucio's wall-ride passive, he took a route outside the sniper's line of sight and approached the enemy sniper.
Thud──!
SeraStaffYeonHa → GrandmaTrashThiefKimJungHo
After killing the tank and looking around, the enemy sniper finally noticed him approaching late.
Swish──!
The barrel immediately turned toward Lucio.
He could see the sniper's zoom tightening in real time.
"Goodbye my ass!"
He immediately started smashing his keyboard.
It was a Lucio tech he'd seen in the past.
After laying down a speed boost pad, he moved at 45-degree angles left and right, shaking his body nonstop.
Whishwhishwhishwhishwhishwhishwhishwhish......
"Shoot me if you can!"
It was flashy left-right movement that would make the protagonist of an old famous Japanese boxing manga look tame.
"I'll show you why Lucio counters snipers! You brat!"
Moving this fast, there was no way the sniper could land a headshot.
Even if they got lucky and grazed him, he could just heal with a song and close the distance.
Just a little closer and you'd be──
Thud──!
"......Huh?"
A sound that shouldn't have played rang out.
It was the sound that only played when a sniper landed a headshot kill.
SeraStaffYeonHa → PleaseUnbanMe
Amid the rising chat messages......
"......Was that a hack?"
The truly unbelievable result made him unconsciously voice the question.
The screen faded to black, and the enemy sniper's kill cam began playing on his monitor.
