Twitch, the largest streaming platform in the world.

Jerry Kim was a high-ranking streamer who specialized in gates on that platform.

With his strong facial features and trademark orange hair, the fact that he was a uniquely skilled individual despite being one of the ones who insisted on hunting solo was the main reason for his popularity.

Pssssssh!!

Arrows made of blue light shot out with a frightening sound.

Splurge!

Mrrrrgglll!

The Murloc that was shot on each of its shoulders and knees screamed out in pain.

Nice! Jerry Kim cheered.

The floating marble next to him sparkled as a hologram appeared in mid-air.

[Mission Complete!]

[Take down a group of monsters (more than three) within five minutes]

[Almond has donated $3000!]

[Sheesh, you succeeded on the first try.]

My god~ Almond! Thank you for your precious donation!!

Jerry Kim put on a bright smile as his lips curved up. He shrugged and sent a peace sign at the marble.

Ah~ arent these missions too easy?

While saying those words, he observed his live chat.

-Wow, isnt this just insane?

-Even if hes a 6-Star, how can he take down three 5-Star monsters in just five minutes?

-It wasnt even five minutes. It took exactly three minutes and 58 seconds.

-Daaaaamn.

-Jerry Kim! Jerry Kim! Jerry Kim! Jerry Kim!

-So this is the level of an Awakener of the 12 Zodiacs;

Nice.

Jerry Kim smiled in satisfaction and observed the chat that went by rapidly.

Kya! This is why I stream!

Streaming brought in good income, but besides that, the messages that praised him made him ecstatic.

Hmpf.

He looked down at the scattered corpses of three Murlocs on the ground and stretched his shoulders.

This is nothing much.

Jerry Kim belonged to the upper ranks of 6-Star Awakeners. What he possessed wasnt an insignificant stigma but the stigma of Sagittarius.

Facing off against three 5-Star monsters simultaneously was not that big of a deal.

Hm?

And then

On the other side of the tunnel, he could see that a party consisting of two people was walking towards him.

They even have a guardian spirit and a pet.

Jerry Kim, who was observing them with interest, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Th-The Lightning Wolf?

The Lightning Wolf.

The super rookie who had received the Star of the Weaver Girls stigma and was recently drawing attention worldwide.

Why is the Lightning Wolf here?

According to the Associations official statement, he was still a 4-Star Awakener. He shouldnt have been strong enough to come to a dungeon where 5-Star monsters appeared in groups.

No maybe a North Stars apostle is able to close the gap of one star.

On top of that, he wasnt hunting alone but with a party.

The girl next to him is

Jerry Kims pupils trembled.

Gulp

R-Really fucking hot, holy shit.

He had met a lot of female streamers while working as a streamer, but it was his first time seeing a girl as breathtaking as the one in front of him.

-Omg. Is that really the Lightning Wolf?

-Wasnt the Lightning Wolf a 4-Star?

-Nope, hes a 3-Star.

-Huh, but the articles said that he was a 4-Star.

-Do you really trust those? Lmao, how can he possibly be a 4-Star when hes only awakened for a little over half a year.

-Ikr

-But didnt he take down the demon beast boss that appeared in Sokcho alone?

-Thats also bullshit. Why would he fight alone when there were over 100 Awakeners there? Lol

-Dont 5-Star monsters come out here? How did a 3-Star get here?

-Maybe hes getting carried?

-Whos the girl next to him? Holy crap.

-Mommmmmyyy!!!

-Whew~!!!!

The chat also heated up from the appearance of the Lightning Wolf.

The Lightning Wolf, huh

Jerry Kims head started to spin at a rapid pace.

Isnt this a jackpot?

The Lightning Wolf was a super rookie who received attention from all over the world. If Jerry Kim could get him to appear on his stream, popularity was more or less already guaranteed.

Naturally

The edge of Jerry Kims lips slowly went up.

I wont be satisfied with that.

Popularity wasnt enough. If he won a competition against him with something along the lines of a race of who kills more monsters as streaming content, wouldnt he be able to receive the title of The man who defeated a North Stars apostle?

This is the only opportunity Ill get.

One year no, if even another half a year passed, he didnt have the confidence to win against the Lightning Wolf.

However, if it was this point in time

Its worth a shot.

Werent there rumors of him being a 3-Star? No, even if he managed to reach the 4-Star rank within half a year, it didnt matter.

A North Stars apostle wouldnt be able to overcome the difference between two stars.

Its not like I have a second-rate stigma, either.

Though it was inferior when compared to the North Stars, he was in possession of a stigma of the 12 Zodiacs.

Honestly, it would be strange if he lost.

Do you have any thoughts on partaking in my stream as a guest?

What?

Ohjin tilted his head and looked at Jerry Kim.

A stream

He did start to gain interest, but he didnt imagine that he would get in touch like this.

Were not interested, so why dont you go away?

Wait, Ha-eun.

Hm? Why? Are you really planning to go on stream?

Ohjin couldnt deny that he was interested.

The false rumors will also disappear if I use this opportunity to authenticate some extent of my strength.

Ohjin had no plans on streaming himself but started to wonder

Wont it be alright to make an appearance as a guest on others streams?

* * *

Haha! Thank you!! Oh, right! Im Jerry Kim, a streamer specialized in clearing gates!

Jerry Kim held out his hand.

Ohjin nodded and received his handshake.

He could see that text was rising up rapidly in the hologram floating next to Jerry Kim.

-Ooooooooooh!!!!

-He picked up the Lightning Wolf on the spot lmao

-The Enchanting Man, Jerry Kim;

-Ah, dont pick up the Lightning Wolf, try to pick up the girl next to him

Is that his chat?

Ohjins eyes shone with interest.

As he was curious as to how many people were watching the scream, he looked at the left corner and discovered that the number 30,000 was written.

Does that mean that there are 30,000 people watching the stream?

Ah, yes! Haha! There are quite a lot of people who watch my stream.

Jerry Kim shrugged as he smiled.

Itll probably rise rapidly soon.

He had managed to get a North Stars apostle to appear as a guest. The viewers that were watching other streams would hear the rumors and gather up in his stream.

Then what do I have to do now? asked Ohjin as he glanced at the camera that was floating around the air.

Should we start off with a simple interview? Everybody! Please type anything that youre curious about the Lightning Wolf in chat!

Jerry Kim skilfully proceeded with the stream.

-COUT? COUT?

-Are you really a 4-Star?

-COUT!!!

-How did you get to be a North Stars apostle?

-Can you take down two Murlocs at once?

-CCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!!!

Questions poured out.

Theres no need for you to answer every question. You just need to pick out the suitable ones and answer them.

What does COUT mean? he asked while pointing at the word that appeared frequently.

Ah about that.

Jerry Kim scratched his head with an awkward smile.

It means color of underwear today.

The answer came from beside him.

Ha-eun looked at the chat like it was pathetic and sighed deeply.

What?

A surprised voice flowed out of Ohjins mouth.

Why are they asking that?

I-Its something like streaming culture. Haha!

Jerry Kim cleared his throat and avoided his gaze.

-Lmaaaaaao, I think its his first time seeing an online stream.

-Hey, stop doing that, you crazy bastards XD.

-Hahahaha, his reaction is hilarious.

Ohjin looked at the chat with a face that expressed how ridiculous he thought it was.

In what world is asking the color of anothers underwear at first sight culture?

Lets move on to other questions

Ohjin skimmed through the chat and answered questions in moderation.

I got a rough idea of the atmosphere.

It was still a bit unfamiliar, but he could get a rough understanding of what the viewers wanted from the stream.

Lets stop the questions here!!

Jerry Kim switched the topic of conversation.

Wow 60,000 more people came in during the time you were answering questions.

In the short frame of time it took for Ohjins simple interview, the viewer count exceeded 90,000.

Holy shit!

A bright smile was placed on Jerry Kims mouth.

He had never seen such an astronomical amount of viewers.

At this rate, it wouldnt be long until he passed 100,000 viewers.

Kya! I knew it was a jackpot!

The attention brought by a North Stars apostle far exceeded his imagination.

Nice now then.

It was about time to achieve his main goal of taking down a North Stars apostle in front of tens of thousands of people.

For our next bit of content

Jerry Kim continued while smiling.

How about having a simple competition?

A competition?

Yes. Something like, who can take down more monsters in a limited frame of time.

Jerry Kim gave the offer in a trifling tone.

-Holy shit xD hes asking for a race with a 4-Star as his opponent

-Thats dirty, Jerry Kim!!

-This is seriously pushing it lmao. How can the current Lightning Wolf possibly beat Jerry Kim?

-Isnt this like a diamond player asking a gold player for a 1v1 in mid lane?

-Hell probably use this opportunity to win and continue to mention it for a couple years LOL

-The man who defeated a North Stars apostle.

-(1 Year Later) ???: Im telling you, I really trashed the Lightning Wolf back then!

The chat heated up.

Of course, itll proceed with a penalty placed on me.

Jerry Kim skillfully heckled the viewers.

Well choose the penalty by votes a little later How is it? Do you want to take up the offer?

Glance

He smiled provocatively at Ohjin.

The chat heated up once again.

There were some people mocking Jerry Kim for offering an unreasonable competition, but most of them were looking forward to the match.

So this is why he wanted me to appear as a guest.

Ohjin smirked as he looked at the chat.

He was curious as to why he had been approached at first, but now he completely understood.

Im guessing he wants to beat me in front of the eyes of many others.

They were reasonable thoughts for someone who didnt know much about him.

And with that being the case

I should play along.

Very well. I think itll be fun.

Haha! Everyone, youve heard it yourself, right? Ohjin has accepted the offer! shouted Jerry Kim as he looked at the camera.

But

Ohjin smirked while taking steps forward.

Wont having a competition alone be boring?

Yes?

Lets raise the stakes.

The chat heated once again from his offer.

Hahaha! It looks like you know a thing or two about streaming!!! Very well! Should we wager some starstones for fun?

All in.

Pardon?

Lets wager all of the starstones we have.

Jerry Kims eyes shook.

T/N: Yes, the color of underwear thing exists. shortening of .
