[Title: Guys, is this even possible?]
(Clip of Ttalgwi and her squad members getting blown up by a grenade)
Ttalgwi throws an F-1 grenade, but an enemy player picks it up and throws it back.
The bunker atmosphere was already creepy enough, but watching the stream made me jump out of my skin for real.
Is this legit gameplay?
━ Theoretically possible since the F-1 grenade has a 3.5-second delay fuse.
┗ Talking theory my ass lololol Right in front of you, there'd be like 2 seconds left—how the hell do you pull that off lol
┗ Fr, the moment you go "Oh shit!" you're dead lolololol
━ Holy fuck, what is this? Hacker?
┗ Is there a hack that lets you pick up and throw grenades?
┗ Idk fuck it, if they play better than me, they're a hacker.

[Title: Ttalgwi heads out for revenge lololol]
(Clip of a girl hiding behind corpses ambushing Ttalgwi and her squad)
But they get wiped out like dogs without even firing properly lolololol
Who would've thought she'd be hiding among the corpses lolololol
━ That camper is fucking disgusting lololol
━ What's that player's ID? Aim's insane, right?
┗ Newbie maybe? Frontline Archive officers all shoot like that.
┗ You got presbyopia or what? Private rank insignia right there on the shoulder.
┗ Then must be using aimbot.
┗ Looks like starter gear, probably just started lol Def hacker lol
┗ Bet they made a new account just to snipe Ttalgwi.
━ Why's she crying while shooting?
┗ Probably happy from the snipe.

[Title: Ttalgwi's squad finally game over lolololol]
(Clip of Ttalgwi getting stabbed multiple times by a girl with a combat knife)
Even gets beaten down and finished with a knife at the end lolololol
3v1 and gets team-wiped three times in a row—nice skills lololol
━ Wtf lol This is kinda scary lolol
━ Does she have a grudge against Ttalgwi or what? Plays so viciously ㄷㄷ
━ Her crying face is hot af.
┗ Can't see shit through the camo cream lololol
┗ For real? Just creeps me out, got goosebumps ㄷㄷ
┗ Yeah~ It's just a customized character anyway~
Frontline Archive Gallery.
The place was currently blazing with flames that had spread from Ttalgwi's stream.
The main focus was naturally on the girl who appeared in the broadcast.
Unfortunately, most opinions leaned toward "hacker sniper," but there were no shortage of people amazed by her outlandish plays.
Thus, viewers flocking to Ttalgwi's stream was, in a way, an inevitable outcome.
She was the only streamer tangled up with this mysterious girl, so the community's fire flowed back to her broadcast.
But Ttalgwi couldn't rejoice at all despite the surge in viewers.
With her viewer count now exceeding ten thousand, Ttalgwi's aggrieved shout spread to everyone.
"No, watch the replay! I definitely hit her once!"
『Even in slow-mo, you hit a corpse, right?』
『Isn't shooting corpses bad manners? Oh wait, it's your own corpse so it's fine?』
『She fucking sucks lolol She fucking sucks lolol She fucking sucks lolol She fucking sucks lolol She fucking sucks lolol』

〔First off, sniper hacker confirmed—let's report her〕
『Yeah, even if it's a girl gamer, can't let hackers slide lolol』
『But isn't that just good skill?』
『Nah, def hacker lolol Even a WWII vet grandpa couldn't do that lolol』
"Of course I reported her. Did it every time I died—three times total. And stop spamming or I'll restrict chat."
Ttalgwi replied listlessly and replayed the saved footage again.
She hated jumping to conclusions calling other players hackers, but the girl's movements in the video didn't look human at all.
Using the corpse from the grenade explosion as a shield, landing headshots without even aiming.
Then, when out of ammo, scavenging the corpse's weapon and flowing seamlessly into combat.
At their final encounter, she even went into close-quarters combat like a demon.
Her small frame darted in so ferociously, it felt more like facing a feline predator than a human.
"Argh... I'm seriously gonna get PTSD from this..."
『Getting knifed ain't an everyday thing』
『First time seeing knife fights in Frontline Archive lololol』
『Fr, gave me the chills』
"Anyway, aimbot and ESP seem confirmed, right?"
『Yup, nailed on.』
『Pitch black, no suppressor, and still hits like crazy』
『Fact: No hacks assist in CQC』
『Fr, flashbangs everywhere, couldn't see shit』
『Fact: Ttalgwi lost a fistfight to a girl a head shorter than her』
"Fact spammer, you're out."
Ttalgwi kicked the muddling viewer and restarted the replay.
She could dismiss the girl's impossible plays as illegal software, but lingering questions remained.
Why was that girl crying? And what did "Sukka" mean at the end?
It might've just been malicious trolling against a streamer, but after reporting her, those doubts left a nagging unease for Ttalgwi.

〔That sniper hacker you just met is streaming right now?〕
Then, a sponsorship message arrived with a flashy visual effect.
Normally, mentioning other streamers got you banned on sight, but with that kind of cash bribe, it was nothing but welcome.
Not just the money—the content piqued her curiosity too.
Ttalgwi flashed a bright expression with an exaggerated reaction.
"Thanks for the 100k donation! But she's streaming now? What's the nickname?"
Another sponsorship answered her prompt.
Seemed like a smaller amount since only audio came through.

〔Nickname: Sukka〕
Sukka. The exact same word the girl in her memory had screamed at the end.
Intrigued, Ttalgwi headed straight to Universe Broadcasting without hesitation.
She easily spotted the "Sukka's Personal Broadcast" doorway.
Likely using high-end gear, it had a premium tag displayed.
Forgetting her own stream entirely, Ttalgwi clicked into Sukka's broadcast.
Hoping to confront the "hacker sniper" tormenting her and shake off the lingering unease.
《Hic... H-hec...》
"Huh?"
But her expectations shattered the moment she entered.
The girl called Sukka, who had killed her repeatedly just moments ago, was collapsed among corpses, sobbing.
What crushed her hopes wasn't just Sukka's disheveled state.
Chats filled with worry, anxiety, agitation, anger relentlessly criticized Ttalgwi's past actions.
『Hey hey! Breathe! Breathe!』
『Wtf, why'd those crazy assholes go after a girl just sitting still and blow it up!!!』
『Ganging up three times to get one kill—that's straight-up malicious』
『Ignore the devs and keep chatting, she's about to freak out again』

〔That's not real life! It's an FPS game! Please calm down!〕
《N-no more...》
『Should we actually report this? Looks like hyperventilating, seems serious』
『She's not reading chat at all! Someone keep spamming donations!』
『Doesn't seem to see those either, what now』
『VR gear probably auto-called an ambulance, just wait a bit』
It felt exactly like an ER receiving a critical patient.
All the viewers were typing in unison, doing their utmost to calm the streamer.
'What the hell is going on...'
Ttalgwi scanned the steadily rising chat to grasp the situation.
Luckily, some over-immersed viewers provided overflowing info.
FPS game, trauma, PTSD. Those words flooded the chat.
Quickly reviewing it, Ttalgwi roughly pieced together what was happening.
'Mental case?'
The situation was too bewildering to believe, but that very fact brought certainty.
The girl named Sukka wasn't a sniper, and suspecting her of hacking was absurd.
Who with mental issues goes sniping for fun?
Plus, Universe premium streams get monitored heavily—if she were really hacking, her account would've been banned already.
'Did I falsely accuse a vulnerable person?'
As a famous streamer, few situations could be worse.
One wrong move, and she could lose all her built-up audience.
Ttalgwi's "ruin detector" blared wildly in her head.
She had to salvage this before it worsened.
《Just... rather...》
『Whoa! She's acting weird right now!!!!!!』
『Hey!!!! Put the gun down!!!!!!』
"You crazy bitch!!"
But Sukka gave Ttalgwi no time to act.
Instead, as if intent on an extreme choice, she raised the gun toward herself.
Stunned, Ttalgwi spat a curse, forgetting she was live.
Even in-game, broadcasting a suicide would be disastrous.
Desperate to grab Sukka's attention, she flung open the donation window.
Big donations came with visuals, so she'd empty her wallet if needed.
- Click.
But Sukka didn't wait again.
- Bang!
Sukka shot herself in the head and collapsed limply.
Faced with the shocking sight she'd never wanted to see, Ttalgwi froze in a daze.
Naturally, she wasn't the only shocked one.
Ttalgwi's stream and Sukka's—over ten thousand viewers total—saw chat halt instantly.
《Wh-why...》
But sadly, it didn't end there.
Sukka was in a VR game, where death meant respawn.
After a brief daze, Sukka tremblingly raised the gun again.
Then aimed at her own head and pulled the trigger once more.
- Bang!
Any living being fears death.
Even in-game, suicide was no easy choice.
Especially for someone blurring game and reality—the meaning differed entirely.
The little girl before them desperately fled a reality scarier than death.
- Bang!
Respawn, then suicide repeated.
Twice, thrice, four times. Process varied slightly, but results stayed the same.
Sadly, no one watching could stop Sukka's actions.
Their voices wouldn't reach anyway, and they questioned if they even had the right.
All they could do was pray her deaths led to peace.
Those untouched by hell couldn't share her viewpoint.
[Abusive behavior suspected.]
[Forced ejection from match for fair play.]
Fortunately, after several suicides, her hell ended.
The system deemed it cheating and booted her from the game.
[Sukka's broadcast has ended.]
Followed by clattering noises, the stream shut down.
Seemed like real-life Sukka had ripped off the VR gear and bolted.
Viewers and Ttalgwi remained frozen, unable to act.
They could only stare at the black screen left by the storm, doubting their eyes and ears.
"Wh-what have I done....?"
After a moment, Ttalgwi muttered quietly like a confession.
Of course, she'd been clueless, but witnessing Sukka's extremes stirred guilt.
At the same time, the frozen chat exploded.
Unlike Ttalgwi, viewers chose witch hunt over confession.
