TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 33

“Today, I’m going to play some games for the first time in a while.”

– Oh

– Finally?

– Are you going to play another story game?

– Am I excited?

– Well, I guess I’ll have to take a half day off.

“No, it’s not a story game; it’s a roguelike game.”

The [Beast Hunter] that I mentioned to Yubin is being released this week.

But haven’t I taken a long break from gaming?

So I felt the need for rehabilitation.

No matter how much TS buff I have, my skill must have dropped.

Of course, I have lost all records of playing this game, so viewers probably won’t think much of it.

But in my heart, if I retire even once, what a shame that would be!

– Oh, that one?

– Is that the trend nowadays?

– Is it the ramen one or whatever?

– It really is fun.

– But those look unbelievably painful.

Luckily, it seems there’s no one opposing it because roguelike games are trending on live streams right now.

“Ah, it’s not the ramen one.”

Of course, I’m not saying I’m playing that game.

I already unlocked all the characters before the reset and got bored even with the official release version.

– Then what?

– Is there anything to play?

– Are you going to play a classic game?

– Is Liore coming?

“It’s a roguelike game.”

But I wonder if anyone will know?

I displayed the game on the screen where my avatar was only visible.

“Yes, it’s the newly released game called [d*ath of Fate].”

It just came out 2 hours ago.

– ???

– What is this

– It just came out today?

– What the hell

“I have zero reviews, but I’ll play it and write the first review, right?”

It should take about 2 hours to clear, right?

[Mission: Clear within 3 attempts]

[Remaining time: 1 hour 59 minutes]

[Prize: 100,000]

“Ah, thank you for the mission.”

Three attempts…?

Hmm… that seems a bit ambiguous…

But since I got it anyway, I should at least give it a try.

– I really don’t think 3 attempts will work ㅋㅋ

– First time playing a roguelike in 3 attempts? It definitely won’t work!

– You purposely set a mission to fail, didn’t you? ㅋㅋㅋ

… That’s slightly irritating.

I could understand other things, but to mess up my gaming skill?

This is a problem I can’t avoid even if I know it.

“Shall we start a game, then?”

So I began the game.

“… It’s a bit unfriendly.”

Everything started immediately without any explanations, including the controls.

– As expected, it’s a cr*p game ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Indie cr*p games are all like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Looks like the mission will fail ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“I need to know the keys, so let’s pause for a moment.”

I pressed Esc and went to key settings.

Hmm… Move with WASD and attack in the direction of the mouse for some weapons?

Nothing particularly special.

Looking further, there was no difference from a basic roguelike game.

Hmm, that’s actually good.

“Let me explain for those who don’t know about roguelikes.”

– Is there anyone who doesn’t know about roguelikes?

Ignoring this chat.

– Oh, I didn’t know about that, nice.

– Good, good.

Confirming that there were a few who didn’t know, I continued speaking.

“Basically, it’s a defense game. You clear by surviving for 30 minutes while enemies swarm from all directions, and leveling up with the experience you gain by killing those enemies expands the available weapons.”

Ah, I forgot to explain the upgrades.

“Also, occasionally, boxes appear, and if the passive and active weapons have synergies, the active weapon evolves.”

In the end, it’s a genre that can be summarized in one sentence.

“In other words, it’s a luck-based trash game.”

No matter how poor your controls are, if you get some good items, it’s possible to clear in one attempt, which is a characteristic of roguelikes.

This might raise some questions.

Wait, why did I bring a luck-based game while saying I’m rehabilitating?

The reason I chose this game is simple.

I just suddenly wanted to play it.

There are times when you just feel like playing this genre, right?

That was just today.

– No, just hurry up and play.

– Unpause the screen, you idiot.

ㄴDeleted Message.

– Look at how you’re rambling because you’re anxious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDeleted Message.

Hmm, consistent.

“Well then, since I’ve explained everything, shall we proceed with the game?”

As soon as I pressed Esc to unpause the screen, enemies started to swarm from the corners.

“… There are quite a few, aren’t there?”

… This is more of a bad game than I expected.

I thought this and looked at the chat window.

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m level 1, and is that the number of mobs I should have?

– Seriously, it takes talent to bring this kind of cr*p game ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Thank you, I was thinking of saving money because of this roguelike evil.

It seems everyone felt similarly.

“Generally, newcomers can last for at least 10 minutes, right?”

No matter how bad you are at the game, unless you’re purposely throwing it, 10 minutes is basic.

Yeah, generally speaking.

“But… I don’t think this game is a typical game, so I’m not sure…”

If enemies are crowding the screen from level 1, I wonder how chaotic it’ll be when I reach level 30?

– Insane insurance ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Ground pawn?

ㄴDeleted Message.

– ㅋㅋㅋ You’re so cute when you’re weak.

ㄴDeleted Message.

Ah, I deleted it by mistake.

… I’ll just accept it since it provoked my nerves.

While I was managing the chat for a moment, the distance from the mobs was getting closer and closer.

“Ah, I’m leveling up fine.”

Is that a silver lining?

There are many enemies, but since their defense is low, experience gain is good.

As I continued like that,

[You d*e]

“… They really made a good game.”

– This difficulty is insane? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– How do you even clear this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Wow, was this game made by one person? The balance is utterly terrible.

By 15 minutes in, there had been no particular issues.

But after 15 minutes, when the elite monsters appeared, the situation changed.

“No, having 4 defensive elite monsters come from all directions is a bit…”

I was already surrounded by other mobs and couldn’t break through.

“I couldn’t find the weapon combination, so I only evolved 2.”

– Let’s press mission failure in advance.

– This is hopeless.

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Putting skill aside, there’s no solution in this game.

Honestly, I agree with that…

It’s impossible to clear regardless of my skill.

Thinking that way, I pressed mission failure reluctantly.

[Mission: Clear within 5 attempts from now]

[Remaining time: 2 hours 59 minutes]

[Prize: 100,000]

“Ah, thank you for the mission again.”

5 attempts from now?

Hmm… That really is ambiguous…

With 5 attempts, I’ll probably spend 3 figuring out the combinations.

I could try with the remaining 2 attempts, so it’s possible…

First, I checked the public sentiment.

– 5 attempts are absurd.

– At least it needs to be 10 attempts to even attempt by luck.

– Has the person who set the mission even played a roguelike? This is impossible.

Seeing the viewers complaining about impossibility activated my rebellious spirit.

“I’ll give it a try.”

– You’re going to do that?

– The host seems to have experience in roguelikes, and you’re accepting this?

– Looks like you’re in for it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDeleted Message.

Leaving the surprised viewers behind, I started the game.

So the first round.

“Wow, for real. This mi- amazing game! God game! Goat game! For real!”

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just now I can agree it’s trash.

– You’re holding back your curses.

– You really don’t curse much, huh?

– I’ll do it for you, what’s the level of this insane cr*p game?

ㄴDeleted Message.

In the middle, as lag occurred, my character started to freeze, getting caught among the mobs and dying.

“Uh… Let’s try again.”

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– At least I found some combinations ㅇㅇ

– Let’s consider it as paying the price.

The second round.

“… What is this?”

– Since the game crashed, let’s turn it off ㅇㅇ

– Wow, it really surpasses the definition of a cr*p game.

– How was this released?

– Hey! Developer!

The game just suddenly shut off without any warning…!

“… I still have 3 rounds left, so I’ll finish this before deleting it.”

– Whoa, this girl looks like she’s lost her mind.

ㄴDeleted Message.

– Roje, this really isn’t it.

– I wanted to see you suffer, but this isn’t suffering, it’s just pity.

[Mission: Clear within 5 attempts from now]

[Remaining time: 2 hours 59 minutes]

[Prize: 572,000]

“Please don’t throw in more because it’s a safe asset.”

– But it really is a safe asset ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– I don’t think you can clear this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– If you clear this, that’s seriously impressive ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The third round.

“Ah, what a shame. But I understand all the combinations now.”

– Seriously, why do I feel thankful that no bugs have occurred?

ㄴDeleted Message.

– Is this reverse perception? Why does the game seem better than earlier?

– But, you’re doing really well.

– You’re surviving until 26 minutes ㅇㅇ

That’s frustrating… But I think the next round might have a chance to clear!

The fourth round.

“… A luck-based trash game, for real.”

– What the hell ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDeleted Message.

– How can none of the combinations appear? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Roje, aren’t the developers watching this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Luck is ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Despite enduring and trying, nothing that matched my items appeared at all.

“Okay! I have really paid the price now!”

– Paying the price = Bugs in 2 rounds, luck-based trash in 1 round.

ㄴDeleted Message.

– Isn’t this purely bad luck?

– Weren’t the bugs caused by bad luck too? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– I don’t think so, bugs are the game’s fault ㅇㅇ

– Honestly, bugs are the game’s fault.

The fifth round.

“Ah!”

– Wow, this crazy girl almost cleared it ㅇㅇ

ㄴDeleted Message.

– Didn’t you just clear that?

– If I had lasted for 0.5 seconds more, I would have cleared, but d*ath was faster.

– I think I’m fortunate there were no bugs.

Sigh… What a pity…

If I had lasted just 1 second more…!

If I had eaten that health recovery item from earlier…!

“Ugh… Anyway, I’ll mark it as mission failure.”

[ㅇㅇ has donated 100,000 won.]

It was the person who set the mission….

Honestly, I think the second round was completely unfair….

So, what about a final round…?

– Wow!!

– Pity

– Honestly, that was really close ㅇㅇ

“Ah, if you give it to me, I’m grateful.”

So, the last round.

“I did it! d*mn! Delete it right away!”

– Wow!!!!!!!!!

– Great Roje

– This crazy girl really did it.

ㄴDeleted Message.

– This is a human victory.

– Ayy!!!!!

– Waiter!!!!

I turned off the game and deleted it right away, then pressed mission success.

[Mission Success!]

[Prize: 2,268,000 won]

Huh?

“… When did the mission reward increase like this?”

Thinking back, I hadn’t checked the mission reward after a certain point.

I had also muted the notifications because they were distracting me.

– It seems to increase little by little while playing?

– It increased gradually.

– It did incrementally.

… I feel like I received help for the underprivileged?

“Anyway, thank you. Honestly, I did receive a lot, but I regret even more why I brought this game.”

– For real, lol.

– It really is, haha.

– Seriously, why did I bring this cr*p game ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– You chose that cr*p game!!!!! Endure it!!!!!!

… d*mn.

“Now that the game is deleted, let’s go write a review.”

[Disapproved]

[Just don’t play it]

[Sympathy: 649]
