After adopting(?) Hyorin.
Choi Shin-hyeok turned on his stream the very next day.
"Long time no see, everyone. This is the first time I've gone live since the Colosseum, so it's been about a week, right?"
As expected, the moment the hottest player around, Shin-hyeok, went live, viewers flooded in like a tidal wave, as if they'd been waiting for this exact second.
They hammered the chat like mad, unleashing all their pent-up anticipation from the past week.
Shin-hyeok was even a bit thrown off by the insane scroll speed.
"Please switch to slow mode."
Luckily, Shin-hyeok's viewers listened well.
The chat slowed down with the nonexistent "slow mode" in effect.
He watched them goof off happily for a moment, a fond smile on his face.
"The reason I'm streaming today is to make an announcement."
The chat started trembling at the word "announcement."
They'd already caught wind of most of the bombshells Shin-hyeok had dropped through newspapers and news.
So when he said there was more, everyone was stunned—but only for a moment.
"I'm entering the Unified Gold League."
As always, Shin-hyeok casually dropped a bomb.
Of course, everyone had seen this one coming.
Lately, Shin-hyeok hadn't been playing Dimension Arena.
Partly because he was busy, but mainly because once you qualified for the Unified Leagues, you couldn't play Dimension Arena anymore.
Above all, given what he'd shown, there was no way he wouldn't join.
If he hadn't, it wouldn't be because he couldn't—it'd be because he chose not to.
So the viewers nodded like, "Yeah, figured," but then—
The viewers realized Unified League entry meant no more Dimension Arena and spiraled into full meltdown mode.
Shin-hyeok stifled a laugh at them hitting the five stages of grief in real time, then pulled a ticket from his pocket.
"Alright, everyone see this? It's the reward from my 10-win streak in the Colosseum. Specifically, the achievement reward."
The viewers were surprised by the sudden reveal of one Colosseum 10-win reward but reacted rather lukewarmly.
What they craved was Shin-hyeok making unprecedented history in Dimension Arena—not some unattainable reward they'd never get anyway.
But they cheered when the reward's true nature came out.
"This is a key to a hidden stage. In other words, it lets me, who can't legally access Dimension Arena while in the Unified Leagues, log in anyway. You get what that means, right?"
It was an entry pass and key to a hidden stage, bypassing Unified League restrictions entirely.
Most viewers were there to witness Shin-hyeok's rampage, so they wanted Dimension Arena content showcasing his true prowess.
Taking it a step further, on a never-before-seen hidden stage?
No wonder the Dimension Arena broadcast fans—aka the DimArena nuts—were going feral.
By the time the chat was soaked in their excitement,
Clap clap!
"Enough chit-chat. No need to drag this out, right?"
Shin-hyeok grabbed everyone's attention with a single clap.
No more teasing—he ripped the ticket right then.
Riiip—
"Oh, hold up—one quick ad break first."
...Exactly halfway through his declaration.
The sudden mid-stream ad had the DimArena nuts exploding the chat like they'd chugged hundreds of frustrating sweet potatoes without any fizzy relief.
After blowing up and torching the chat once, what remained was curiosity.
Shin-hyeok had been skyrocketing in value from his placement exam two months ago to now.
(Sure, it started off in a bad way, but that underdog jackpot turned it all around—undeniably.)
Naturally, offers had poured in for someone whose value rose daily.
He'd just ignored them all—none met his standards for product or price.
So the DimArena nuts were dying to know.
What product was worth Shin-hyeok shilling personally?
As all eyes locked on him,
Shin-hyeok pulled a wooden box from his inventory.
Click!
Unlocking it revealed a perfectly round pill blending elegant simplicity and refreshing clarity.
Just looking at it screamed "this ain't ordinary." The elixir was extraordinary.
Yet no one there recognized it, proving it was some never-before-seen wonder.
This skyrocketed the hype.
Any more delay and the chat might actually riot, so Shin-hyeok cut to the chase.
"This elixir is called Tear. Precisely, it's the first in the upcoming Paracelsus series, so the official name is Paracelsus's Tear."
Everyone nodded blankly at the unheard-of company and product names.
They'd half-expected that much.
What mattered was the effect.
As attention zeroed in on the effect of "Paracelsus's Tear" in Shin-hyeok's hand,
"Simple effect: Once per tier, gain mana stats matching that tier. Confirmed for Silver (100), Gold (500), Diamond (1,500). Platinum around 1,000, I'd guess. Plus, the stats ignore tier limits."
Shin-hyeok shared his research results from the past few days with the DimArena nuts.
And their reaction was, predictably—
Explosive.
A mega-hit poised to upend the elixir market overnight.
Still, the DimArena nuts sighed.
They couldn't even dream of current high-end elixirs—how could they snag this ultra version that crushed them?
Pie in the sky.
Before their sighs drilled holes in the chat floor,
Shin-hyeok pulled out the gift he'd prepared for them.
Click!
"Five Paracelsus's Tears. Valued at about 10 billion each right now, so roughly 50 billion total."
He'd opened a wooden box containing five Paracelsus's Tears.
The chat soured instantly.
Even knowing one wrong comment meant Shinwa Legal, jealousy, envy, and greed blinded them momentarily.
Shin-hyeok didn't care.
A true god turns the envy of fools into cheers.
"Giving these away via raffle."
Raffle.
That one word hushed the chat.
Too stunned to even type.
When their brains rebooted,
Shin-hyeok explained the rules.
"Donate 100 D.C. for one raffle ticket. One per person, no matter how much you donate. Donate anonymously and we can't verify, so include a name or group."
100 D.C.
Roughly 100 dollars.
Not chump change.
Over 100,000 won in Korean currency.
Calling it a "sweetheart deal" was an understatement.
The elixirs were worth about 1 million D.C. each.
A lotto shot for pocket change?
His donation feed burst into flames.
'Money hard to earn? Just accept donations, duh?'
