Chapter Title: Jeon-bung's Fate?
That was an exceedingly complacent notion.
The idea that I could coexist with party members who clearly didn't like me.
"Whoa, EXP is climbing so fast! So this is the joy of party play?"
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Isn't Jeon-bung just too slow? — Viewer He was slow because he was skimping on cash by moving around while hunting lololol — Viewer Was this game always like this? — Viewer Whoa, nostalgia overload — Viewer And meanwhile Jeon-bung has to sprint around like crazy to grab those 3 mobs lolololol — Viewer Aaah... Warrior, what kind of life have you been living? Why did something as trivial as a game character's EXP rising so nicely make me feel this good?
In reality, it was just a process of sacrificing my real-life self-improvement to level up a virtual avatar instead. So why was it so damn fun?
No, this wasn't indulgence. I was working.
Streaming. Providing clear value by entertaining the viewers!
With that bit of mental gymnastics wrapped up, a party chat message caught my eye.
C Flu: Party leader, the warrior's using basic attacks? Yaye: For real? To cut to the chase: yes, I had used a basic attack. But it was a basic attack with a good reason.
Venus Zealot: My skill popped 280 damage, so I basic-attacked to finish off the last 20 HP. The monster I was handling had 300 HP.
My skill dealt 280 damage, leaving just 20 HP, so I used a basic attack to seal the deal.
C Flu: But he's been basic-attacking nonstop? That was also a basic attack with a reason.
Venus Zealot: It had 20 HP left, but I rolled a 19, so I had to hit it again. 🚫 PARTY KICKED 🚫 You have been expelled from the party. Aaah, the world is so cruel.
No room for those who can't pull their weight.
I'd been too stingy to waste a skill on a monster with 20 HP left, so I swung a basic attack... only for my luck to be so utterly abysmal that it dealt 19 damage, leaving 1 HP. Unable to finish it off, I got snitched on by that sniveling C Flu watching from below and booted from the party.

Is this why they call it Ant Hell..." 💬 Stream Chat — Viewer lololololololol — Viewer Ugh, just use a skill already—here, have some potions — Viewer Is this guy rice-eater?

Is Jeon Jeonseol really in the wrong here? If anyone faced a 300 HP monster, used a skill leaving 20 HP, wouldn't they want to basic-attack to finish? Wasn't that a perfectly rational choice?" "But why's your nickname such a mess?"
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Rice-eater donation success lolololol — Viewer Rice-eating warrior lolol — Viewer The National Jeon-bung Association has voted to expel you in shame — Viewer Not taking support even now? Not even now? Not even now? 💰 Donation: Anonymous (1,000 won) ─"Pick the one who did the most wrong. 1. Jeon Jeonseol, who chose warrior as a job. 2. Jeon Jeonseol, who decided to level without support. 3. Jeon Jeonseol, who got lonely, sought comrades, and ended up dragged into Ant Hell." 💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Basic attacks = instant kick lololol — Viewer Ant Hell is cold... — Viewer That's why I say why play warrior lol why warrior lol why warrior lol "Enough!"
Even if I regressed 1.4 billion times, I'd still basic-attack a monster with 20 HP left.
The 19 damage roll sparking this chain of events and my expulsion was simply inevitable fate.
With my mind settled, I hung from the ladder in the hunting ground's safe zone when suddenly, people started pouring out of the map's entrance portal like an avalanche.
C Flu: ? JeonVicWildLetsGo: I've come to end this war A new character appeared, snatching all of C Flu's monsters—the very same C Flu who'd snitched my minor issue to the party leader and gotten me kicked.
His level was 45—not super high—but way too much for the level 23 C Flu guarding Ant Hell's entrance.
Along with 7 or 8 others sucked into Ant Hell, they were smashing the party leader who'd kicked me and the whole group.
Is this the power of streaming?
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Buster Call Season 2 incoming ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ — Viewer How'd you even crack the channel lololol with over 1000 channels?? (No idea fr) — Viewer Aaah... kept relogging till they found it... "The world's on fire."

Shall I kill, Master? Shall I kill, Master?" "Don't ask while already killing them."
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Breaking news) Party leader's popularity drops 7 instantly lolol — Viewer C Flu raged and ran away — Viewer Jeon-bung horde is scary — Viewer Never cross Jeon Jeonseol — Viewer Aaah... O King of Tryit TV... Old stories often depict revenge as hollow and something one should never do.
But experiencing it firsthand like this? Thrilling, fun, mood-boosting, pure ecstasy.
Why on earth would anyone say not to do it?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ In the end, it didn't change my no-support streaming or playstyle.
We all know games aren't about peak life efficiency—me, you, the viewers, everyone. Ditching the romance for momentary ease? What'd be the point then?
Doing quests, selling junk, maxing potion efficiency while hunting... before I knew it, I hit level 40. And became bald.
"What the hell is this?!"
Why am I bald?!
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer What's with this coord? — Viewer lolololololololol — Viewer Regrettably, Venus coord has been banned by admins and vanished — Viewer Avatar starting to look like its owner A quick search revealed the custom Venus cosplay coord a viewer made for me had been hammered by the admins and delisted from the market, unusable now.
"Other game or anime character coords are fine though?"
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Probably flagged for jiggle physics being too lewd — Viewer Feminist reports incoming? They play this game a ton — Viewer Ugh lol feminists again? — Viewer Gasp! — Viewer It was pretty spicy tho — Viewer Heh heh heh... I don't particularly like lewd stuff or hate women, but Korea's censorship feels a bit much.
Like that saying about covering the sky with a palm.
Why try so hard to block what can't be stopped anyway?
"This kinda stings."
💬 Stream Chat — Viewer Smash it, Master? — Viewer Inquiry spam incoming — Viewer Smash the Meteor World that killed Venus "Ah, no. Don't do that."
That coord wasn't exactly above board, after all.
Not that a 2D dot avatar short of full nudity should've been axed for lewdness in the first place, but it blatantly ignored other animations' copyrights.
Can't complain about that getting the boot.
"Anyway, level 40 achieved. Time for the Epic Long quest?"
The hope of no-spend users: the Epic Long quest.
A super popular one-time quest rewarding a gauntlet attack power scroll—either 10% or 60%.
(Skipping why those scrolls are pricey.)
The key point? The 60% is over twice the price of the 10%.
Both give no-spenders a huge cash windfall that's hard to get otherwise, but one roll of luck could double it... or halve it!
After a grueling adventure (many un-farmable monsters, so I bought most materials at market price), I gathered all the quest items and stood before the NPC handing out fate's scroll.
