Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

The first round of the coaching competition ended with Dashman’s victory.

• A victory with only wounds lol.
• How many joint locks did he get hit with? lol.
• I don’t want a victory like that…
• Wow, that's really embarrassing!
• Saint Eve actually gave him physical contact while locking his joints, totally possible.
• The moment the pressure goes on, he’d tap out and go crazy, what nonsense!

After the aftereffects of the joint locks, Dashman took a few days off to rest.

But when the second round came, he was fully prepared to return.

"The humiliating pervert-hunting broadcast is over. Today is the day of revenge!"

• Did he admit it himself? lol
• The pervert content was fun, it’s a shame.
• Honestly, I gave him a standing ovation while watching it.
• Hand
• Hand
• s

"No, I’m not doing it. Didn’t you see how I got dislocated during the last broadcast? I even cried when they popped my bones back in."

• Lol
• That was rough, I agree.

<Eomdaem donated 10,000 won!>

"Even so, didn’t it happen because the Silent Swordmaster let him off after the dislocation? Dislocation without forgiveness vs dislocation with forgiveness."

"Of course, the dislocation was inevitable. Where did the balance go?"

As always, the atmosphere was lively.

But the Silent Swordmaster hadn’t shown up yet.

• Where is the Silent Swordmaster?
• Did they bail out on the competition content?

"No, no bailing out. We’re just doing a pre-run for the content. You need to know what kind of game we're playing for it to be more fun."

• So, what’s the game?
• What kind of game are we playing today?
• Who are you explaining it to?
• The edited broadcast viewers.
• Oh.

The runner-up of the Munchkin Character World Cup, Wise, was featured in a game titled Surviving in the Hell Difficulty World, which was from a supernatural battle dark fantasy genre. The title itself was enough to make it a terrifying game.

"It’s a game called Hell Survival, the only modern-day game released by the famous Half-Demon Faction developers."

• Lol.
• When did they release this?
• Did you mean ‘Nimiral’?
• I know it’s too difficult for everyone, that’s why they stopped playing.
• Isn’t this the game Speedmaster’s been playing?
• It’s been out for a year.
• But why didn’t I know about it?
• I blocked it because they always release physical-focused games.
• Ah, that’s right.
• It’s not just physical, looks like it’s lacking brainpower too.

"That’s right. The Sensei is playing this game recently. After the Half-Demon Faction ends, Guild Leader, you might even challenge this game too, huh? The Sensei is planning to challenge the hidden route in Half-Demon Faction."

• Main role reversal world?
• Game swap?
• The pros are just recycling each other.
• If pros are switching games at the same time, it’s probably to avoid mutual losses.
• What if there’s a hardcore guy like Silent Swordmaster who’s been stuck playing a game alone for nine months?
• Usually, they’d start a game after waiting for just this long out of politeness, but Silent Swordmaster avoids that after getting irritated, worried it might end in a real fight.
• He even dissolved the Mingho Guild. lol.

Anyway, today’s game began.

Hell Survival started.

"Where did the character creation go? We’re doing a preview, so we won’t make a full character right now. If we did, it would take an hour to set up."

• Lol, you can’t skip character creation.

[Generating random character.]

[Character creation complete.]

[Starting tutorial.]

The tutorial started off with a quick mission.

[Kill the ability user in the building faster than the police.]

An earpiece activated with a briefing.

• I : The target is currently in the A Office on the 7th floor, erasing data.
• I : The traffic lights were hacked, and the police will arrive in 3 minutes.
• I : Eliminate the target and exit before the police arrive in 3 minutes.

The coldly delivered instructions had the viewers on edge.

• The voice is so calm.
• Feels like a secret operation.

"Ugh, these geeks are starting again. Anyway, the goal of the game is to accomplish the mission by any means necessary, and the ability I have is..."

[Ability - Repeat Action]

[You can repeat the same action.]

"This is useless."

• Lol.
• What kind of ability is this?
• A rapid chat spam ability?
• Can you play tennis by yourself against a wall?
• Is this a deadlift ability for gym freaks?
• Is this a special ability for gym enthusiasts? lol.
• This feels like a random gacha game.

Even though he didn’t get a good ability, Dashman wasn’t bothered.

After all, it was just a preview, and he knew the tutorial like the back of his hand.

"Do you know why this game is a masterpiece? You can use your real-life abilities."

[Player Ability - Dash]

Pavatt!

Using Dash, Dashman quickly entered the elevator before the doors closed.

• Lol.
• Does that even matter?
• So now you have two useless abilities.

When the elevator doors opened, Dashman heard a click from a grenade pin being pulled.

[Player Ability - Dash]

[Combo Skill - Double Dash]

Using Double Dash, Dashman created distance from the grenade and ran forward, swiftly turning a corner.

The sound of the grenade exploding from behind caused Dashman to grimace but also show off a little. The viewers quickly acknowledged it.

• Whoa.
• That was impressive, Dashman.
• Show us, Dashman!

Grenades, tripwires, and more grenades.

The repeated traps led the viewers to realize something.

• Isn’t this guy a grenade expert?
• What is this, grenades and tripwires everywhere? lol.
• Dashman’s ability is just hard countering, huh?

As he opened the office door, a bright flash and a fierce explosion rang out.

The broken entrance door crashed into pictures in the hallway, and as the ringing sound from the explosion faded, footsteps neared from afar.

"People usually think if there are so many grenades, you must have the ability to create them. If you thought that, then you’re wrong."

Bang bang!

As Dashman dodged the incoming bullets using Dash, the target spoke.

"Remote detonation. My ability is to detonate bombs I’ve set anywhere at will."

• Whoa, that’s intense.
• If I played Hell Survival for real, I’d be dead 100%.
• Lol, for real.
• How did he avoid that?
• Dashman’s speed is no joke.

On his first run, Dashman had been thoroughly beaten by this ability.

But with the experience he had now, things were different.

‘Three, two, one. Full reload.’

Click click.

The sound of the ammo running out from the ability user’s gun echoed.

At that moment, Dashman swiftly turned his staggering walk into a straight run and tackled the target.

"What?! Wasn’t I hit by a flashbang?!"

"It was a fake. I waited for you to use all your bullets, then walked out of the trap."

Grabbing the target and twisting their neck in one swift motion, Dashman let out a sigh of relief and opened the chat.

"This is the game. How about it, not bad, right?"

• This is getting intense.
• Low-level players are crying again.
• There are so many great games in the world, but none of them are easy...

"Life’s just like this. Anyway, once we start the main game, if you keep playing like this, you’ll join Wise’s team as an ace."

• Now that I think about it, you used a lot of abilities just now, right?
• Oh, it was Repeat Action.
• Can you recycle such a trashy ability like this?

"That’s the advantage of an awakened player. With two abilities, there’s unexpected synergy. Guild Leader, if you do this, it’ll be amazing, right?"

• Yeah, yeah.
• The content was a good pick.
• So, how do you date with this?

"Wise’s affection is surprisingly easy to increase. If you join Wise’s team, stay alive, and just complete missions, it’ll keep going up."

He wasn’t lying.

In reality, the affection really does go up like that.

The problem is, staying alive and completing missions without dying is insanely hard.

‘It’s a team that only someone like Speedmaster could handle. Originally, I was planning to teach some tricks, but...’

Just a little while ago.

After all the humiliation, Dashman had no intention of teaching any tricks.

[Ending the game.]

[Sending an invitation to Silent Swordmaster.]

"Alright, now it’s time for the main game to begin?"

The modern supernatural battle game Hell Survival, by Simiral Inc.

The goal is to survive until the end of the story while completing various missions as a member of an organization of super-powered people.

Ha Eung Eung really liked this setting.

[So all I have to do is successfully complete all the missions, right?]

"That’s right. But for this game, I’ll be in spectator mode, offering advice and dating coaching. You’ll have to clear it on your own, is that alright?"

[No problem.]

Dashman had his own mischievous plan.

‘Even if I can’t join Wise’s team on my first run, I’ll need at least six hours of play. I’ll squeeze a little profit from this content for a few days.’

His devious plan to fill his own selfish desires through the Guild Leader’s abilities and recognition!

‘The tutorial alone will take at least 30 minutes, right?’

If they fail the mission in three minutes, the police will arrive, making it even harder to eliminate the target and escape without being seen.

Later, the mission changes to involve eliminating the target with the police. If that fails, the player’s standing in the organization will drop.

It’s only natural that the time to join Wise’s team would take longer.

But Dashman didn’t realize this in his calculations.

[Proceeding in Real Mode.]

[No abilities selected.]

True to Silent Swordmaster’s style, challenging the real mode without character creation, just raw, powerless gameplay.

<New Skill>

<Wall-walking>

Someone crazy enough to walk up the building’s exterior to the 7th floor, leaving behind the perfectly good elevator and stairs.

Crash!

"What, from outside the window?!"

<New Skill>

<Throwing Stones>

Before the startled target could activate the bomb installed at the window, Dashman used his Throwing Stones skill to launch a stone and smash the target’s head.

• I: Successful target elimination in the shortest time.
• I: Your achievement is unmatched within the organization.
• I: With this result, you can join his team.

Dashman realized too late that 6 and a half hours of content could be shortened to just one minute.
