Chapter 41
----------------------------------------------------------------- Translator: penny Chapter: 41 Chapter Title: Flawless Odin Speedrun ----------------------------------------------------------------- With the final boss room just ahead, Sensé took a moment to tweak his game settings. 'This is nothing like what I had pictured.' Yuuri thought as much while watching the screen zip by at breakneck speed. The moment he hit ESC, the mouse whipped around, and somehow the game had already exited and reloaded. The speed was downright unreal. It wasn't like she hadn't tried summoning veterans or masters herself. She hadn't made it her main content, but every rare attempt came with the same tried-and-true lines. Lay the groundwork, play coy, lower expectations. The so-called insurance policy. 'Man, this is tough. Not sure if it'll work.''My hands are stiff from the nerves.''I'm so tired, my eyes are dry... my head hurts...' Even rotten pros make mistakes. And with thousands watching? No helping it. No matter how grizzled the pro, a brand-new setup brings the jitters. Humans gonna human—nerves lead to slip-ups. But you can't let one mistake snowball into a mental meltdown. That turns into a full-blown crisis where progress grinds to a halt. Yuuri knew the risks, so she'd prepped with her staff: meetings, scripted lines, the works. Though those lines went unused this time. She couldn't even guess how many reps he'd racked up. The speedrun looked primed to wrap in record time, so she'd fill the gaps with some post-run chit-chat.
"Alright, back in and loading... Boom, Mjolnir's right there? Nope, gone."
"Elevator's got some killer bug. Does the dev team even know?"
"If they did, wouldn't they fix it?"
"So this is the world first reveal?"
"Uh... yeah?"
For the record, the Mjolnir Elevator glitch was something Potbelly Uncle had dug up. In his timeline, it surfaced around year six. Jicheol had a blast chaining shortcuts with it back then. Also for the record, it got hotfixed overnight in the original timeline. Good times. Jicheol spreading glitches like wildfire, devs dropping stealth patches—not his first rodeo. Who knew about this run, though. New game's out, so maybe they'd leave the old one alone.
"Timer's at... 32 minutes now. What's your personal best?"
"Roughly 35? No slip-ups, and we might hit the 30s."
"You do mess up sometimes?"
"C'mon, I'm human. Of course. Blockade's no joke, so go easy on any flubs—call 'em charm."
Yeah, normally you'd seed some whining like that. But this didn't feel like insurance. No tension in his voice at all. And zero mistakes so far, for real.

— Charm points... Charm? You call that charm?
ㅋㅋㅋ Just charm it away
— How much you charge tho?
Ugh kinda. But don't we owe you a dono for the stream? "Oof, shots fired. Rate? But shouldn't you be doing donos on my stream?"
— UwU
— That's a bit... — All-time dono waste ;; "Hey, you punks watching this?"
— No demand tho ;;
— We know ;; Yuuri slammed shut the Word doc she'd parked in the corner. It had contingencies like this one. [If mic goes quiet, fill audio with Tyr/Thor/voice lines] [If audio gaps stress you out, reassure] Focus mode usually kills chit-chat. She'd planned to pad the audio herself... But this guy? Mouse flying, and bantering with chat nonstop. Top-tier skills. A voice that could bank on ASMR alone. And snappy banter holding thousands rapt. Where'd this monster come from?
"Boss room, incoming."
"That's Odin, right? Grandpa drip is on point."
"Design slaps. Voice too."
"Are you the spear that pierces fate?" The cutscene rolled: one-eyed elder gripping his weapon, descending, mouth opening. Yuuri finally hoped for a real boss fight. Speedrun or not, no proper ones yet.
"I am the god of wisdom and war, healing and death, victory and madness, magic and poetry."
"Son of Borr and Bestla, king of the gods, conqueror of the nine worlds."
"Master of all runes, lord of the Aesir." "Listen to that gravelly voice. How many packs a day?" "VA grandpa's infamous for chain-smoking." "No way? Love the TMI. OST slaps too—wonder if we'll hear it all this time?"
"And son... I am your father." "'I am your father' drop here...?" "Sounds like a dad joke, huh?" "Hey, Sensei. No dad jokes on stream." "Whoops. Sorry." Jicheol thought to himself. 'Dad-joke immune, so I didn't think...' Come to think of it, Ji-min was immune too. Cool? Cutscene ended. Boss fight on.
[Mad God, Father Odin] Fate-peeking king gone mad cackled wildly, arm raised. Spear hurled at his "child." "Ow. Spear toss opener. Rough draw." "That bad?" "Ugh. Adds 30 seconds. Back off, parry, reset the pattern."
"This golden spear bears runes I carved myself. By the god of magic." "Gungnir's brag-worthy. Total trash pattern—skip fast." "Sensei says so?" "This level? Parry all you want, you lose. Gotta reset, so parry it is."
— "Have to parry" what??
Normie vibes only
"Behold. The mightiest, cruelest, most secret runes I possess." "Red rune glows on this line, enchant procs. Roll through from here. Can't parry. Triple roll, then dash behind for the final thrust."
— Wtf just...
Flows like water, can't look away. My head hurts watching... "Homing's tough to dodge, but overdo it and you bait whiffs easy. Armpit cling 'til run—piece of cake." "Wait, didn't you say mistakes?" "One hit, two, three—bleed pops, groggy. Clean phase one clear."

— LIAR!! LIAR!!
Hard!! You said mistakes possible!!
— Since when Odinson QTE? ;;
"Huginn!! Muninn!! Lend me your eyes!!" "Phase two opener: raven shift. Chase is futile—stamina hoard." "Kids, Blockade that hard?"
— Beats us...
— Top-tier nasty in Odinson ;; — DLC bosses don't compare ;;
— This the shorts vid?? ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
— Full run in shorts? Nah "Raven swarm: here. Explosion runes: there. Phase three opener behind safe." Not a single mistake. Not even one hit from the vet against Blockade.
Feels hollow tho."
— Cut too fast, doesn't feel real ;;;
— Odin folds this quick...
— Jump game Odinson?;
— WR slashed 2/3 ;; — Future human vibes — Reddit plz — Foreigners incoming
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Tyr was inertial trash, no denying. But ditching inertia killed play freedom? Creativity? Fact. Some see inertia as pure penalty, but conquer it and you shatter limits, open new worlds... *cough*! Ahem." "Sensei! Throat!" "Ahem. *cough*."
— Talks too much...
— Me in 2019 Tyr... — Sis throat gon' ㅋㅋ — Voice crack ㅋㅋㅋ — Husky's hot? — Guest for audio filler?
"Filler? Rude much?"
"Ahem. Throat's a bit swollen..."
"Cold?"
"Heh. Stay healthy, folks. Nights get chilly—don't sleep with windows open like me."
Yuuri realized: perfect cold season timing. Chatty sure, but not this hoarse. That faint rasp turned husky—tasty in its way. Slow song in that voice? Fire. VTuber cover? Anime OP lately... Couldn't tell a kingpin that. Swallowed it. Voice was killer, though. Unique low tone, prettily husky now—raw appeal. Sis-voice worthy? She said it aloud. Chat rioted.
— Urya no sis in 2 days EUEUEU
— This bitch's conscience — KYAAK!! Run!! — Never age her!! "Harsh. I'm hurt. Hate aging." Yuuri wry-smiled back. 27 still got grace—few years, even memes off-limits. "..." Jicheol zipped it, awkward. Wiki said same age... Now seven years younger. Mute city. "Sensei, bro or sis? Just say." "You're 17, right? I'm sis." "Who RP'd? Where?" "Boss can't RP?" She knows this too? Flirting? "27 up-down at least." "Age fine. I'm 20." "No way... What?"
— ?
— ??? — Say what? Stunned Yuuri's silence met awkward chuckles. Jicheol clammed up too—audio dead. She snapped back. "...
For real 20?" "Yep." "Korean age? College frosh?" "Yup." "No... Nooo?" Your real deal what?
