Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

Chapter 208

1.

[Munchkin Character World Cup Winner]
[Baek Ryeong Shin-gun]

After what was practically the finals, the winner was quickly determined to be Baek Ryeong Shin-gun.

‘As a warrior, my admiration for Gi Geuk Jo never changed. But even considering that, Isocheon was special. Even when compared to Gi Geuk Jo.’

Trapped in the massive golden cage of the imperial palace, having her revenge, her life, and everything else taken away, only to eventually become the emperor’s bird, Isocheon had helped her.
He secretly taught her the martial arts of Hwasan, helping her steadily, and in the end, he even sacrificed his life.

‘If only she had liked a normal woman, not a possessed one.’

Because she was once a man, Ha Eung Eung could never repay Isocheon’s love.
Back then, being with a man was an unimaginable, horrifying thing for her.
Even though she knew how much he wanted her, she rejected his feelings.
Isocheon didn’t blame her.
She remembered that fact.

‘What about now?’

Now, all that was left was a faded past, like a blurry black-and-white photograph.
Now, when looking back, could she accept his heart?

‘I don’t know.’

Still, there was one thing.
A vague premonition.

‘At least I believe I am a better person now than I was back then.’

In both strength and heart.
Time matures people.
If she could return to those days, carrying the memories of now…

‘Could I accept your heart this time?’

Her serious contemplation was, for the most part, the expression of a woman who was consciously thinking about a man!

• God-level content, confirmed.
• Silent Swordmaster is also a woman!
• The monster has opened his eyes to the hearts of women.
• Our Guild Leader can make this kind of expression?
• Dashman is our Wanderer Merchants Guild’s eternal ally.
• The Rat Tribe actively supports Dashman’s joint broadcast.
• The Demon Face Tribe will remember you as a highly admired streamer.
• Why are they mad again?
• Since the Demon Face Tribe died, these guys have been full of complaints about everything.
• Ah, I see.
• Top villain organization recruit candidate.
• Isn’t the Demon Face Tribe already in the villain organization?

The deadly charm of Silent Swordmaster. It wasn’t only the viewers who were enchanted by her.
Even Dashman, who had a first love named Eve, couldn’t help but stop his gaze for a moment at her troubled side profile.

‘Ah, what am I thinking? The opponent is that Guild Leader. I have Eve by my side.’

Dashman tried to boost his spirits.

"Ha! How about it? The effectiveness of my dating coaching’s first step in the Ideal Type World Cup?"
[It’s not bad. I’ve gained a new perspective on virtual reality dating coaching.]
"Huh? That’s not what I meant... sigh. Can you answer in a more tsundere-like tone, embarrassed? Just once more?"
[Do you want to be hit?]
"I’m sorry."

Women’s hearts were women’s hearts, and Murim experts were Murim experts.

"Anyway, as per the original plan, I was going to proceed by dating the character that won first place in the Ideal Type World Cup from the game, but..."
[No spoilers, please.]
"Of course, that’s what I thought. It was impossible since it’s a Half-Demon character. So, let’s go with second place."

The viewers who were entranced by Silent Swordmaster’s expression along with Dashman were thrown into confusion.

• Who was second place?
• I can’t remember.
• Being charmed by a beautiful woman—this is what it means.
• Lol, memory wiped instantly.
• I remember though? You guys are just idiots.
• Isn’t that because you’re gay?
• Yeah, if you’re not gay, how could you not be charmed by that expression?
• Unintentional coming-out lol.
• This is why you should be kind-hearted.

The second-place winner of the Munchkin Ideal Type World Cup was revealed again.

[Munchkin Character World Cup Runner-Up]
[Wise]

• What the heck.
• Why did it have to be this guy lol.
• So typical of Silent Swordmaster.
• Who was this guy again?

Dashman explained.

"Wise is the protagonist of a supernatural battle dark fantasy game. He’s known as the ‘Massacre Wise’ because like Silent Swordmaster, everyone around him dies, and he leaves a trail of destruction!"
"...?"
"Impressive, right?"
[Was I really called that?]
"Huh?"

Ha Eung Eung was shocked.
She had occasionally seen the term “Massacre Swordsman” in the chat, but to hear that it originated from the fact that all of his companions died was a revelation.

"Uh, Guild Leader, are you crying? No, that’s not what I meant..."

• ?
• ?
• Wow, that’s really bad.
• Are you even human?
• Die, you trash Dashman!
• It makes sense now why your content always produces trash. You're trash yourself.
• This demon! Trash! Silent Swordmaster is better than this!
• You, Dashman, don’t have the right to criticize the upper-ups, right? lol.
• I... I...
• Rock...
• I... rock...

The viewers, who usually joked around with the “Massacre Swordsman” quips, quickly changed their tone.
Shivering with betrayal, Dashman hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

[I didn’t cry.]

Her expression darkened considerably.
Ha Eung Eung managed to hold back her tears.
With a much darker expression, she glared at Dashman.

[I believe you didn’t mean it maliciously.]
"Th-thank you, Guild Leader!"
[But, I will never forget today.]

Dashman had earned the Silent Swordmaster’s wrath!
If you made an enemy of the person most dangerous in the world, that’s who would hold a grudge! The idea of Silent Swordmaster’s grudge made Dashman’s heart stop.
The human with whom she’d fought monsters in Real Mode and won every time—her grudge?
The very thought made a chilling sense of foreboding arise.

In the middle of the night.
Tok...
Tok...
She awoke to the sound of something dripping.
Thinking the faucet wasn’t turned off, she went to check the bathroom, but the faucet was tightly closed. Instead, something dripped onto her forehead...
Looking up, she saw a terrifying sight.
A rat pierced with a shuriken.
The drops weren’t water, but blood!
Panicking and stepping back, she stumbled, then faced the owner of the yellow eyes like a beast beneath the sink—Silent Swordmaster.

[I told you. I’ll never forget today.]

The unnecessarily detailed and realistic imagination caused cold sweat to soak her back.

"Ahhh! Please forgive me. I’ll do whatever you want. Okay? How can I make it up to you? I’ll do anything! Please, forgive me!"

One wrong joke, and now Dashman couldn’t even sleep peacefully at night. After his persistent apologies, Ha Eung Eung reluctantly accepted.

[Then, for this competition, you must do everything I say. Understand?]
"Ah, understood!"

After hearing those words, Ha Eung Eung smirked slightly, her cornered mouth lifting.
The evil smile of a small demon. Dashman’s heart dropped.

"G-Guild Leader, you don’t mean... ‘that’... do you?"
[What are you talking about?]
"Toast, or... lewd stuff, perhaps?"

Ha Eung Eung’s smile deepened.
Dashman squeezed his eyes shut.
This cunning vixen!
Digging a pitfall for him!
Though frustrated, it was already too late to regret.

[The competition is now my turn.]

Behind the walls of the Haemang Sect's inner courtyard, there stood Saint Eve with a sulking expression, arms crossed.
A few steps behind her, Ha Eung Eung, holding up a screen phone, was broadcasting.
News of this rare spectacle gathered Isocheon, Voice Girl, Joo A-young, U Ji-woo, and other senior members of the Sect.
Amidst the many spectators, the toaster made a cheerful sound, and the toast popped up.
Dashman, picking up the golden-brown toast with a face like he was about to die, looked around.

"Do I really have to do this?"
[I’ve never forced you. It’s just that if you don’t, you won’t be able to calm my anger.]

He regretted making such a mistake, joking around with the Massacre Swordsman stuff.
Looking up at the sky with a hopeless expression, he realized how ridiculous this situation was.
The scene started with 25,000 viewers watching the preview of the dating sim.

[Rush in.]

Ha Eung Eung quickly pulled out a whiteboard, and Isocheon clapped a clapperboard without any writing on it.
Holding the toast, Dashman ran out, grimacing with a sickly smile.

"Ah, abunai!"
[Ah, be careful!]

He was about to crash into her while holding the toast when Eve easily dodged his rush, tapped his wrist and leg, and knocked him down. She quickly rolled and twisted his arm behind his back, pressing him down with her knee.
The perfect submission position was met with applause from the onlookers.

"Eve’s techniques are always like art."
"She neutralized him in no time."
"We didn’t need the toast for this, right?"
"We need it for the humiliation, obviously."
"We should never anger Guild Leader. To be publicly humiliated like this... I won’t be able to hold my head up for three months."

The chat exploded with laughter.

• LOL
• What is this?
• The toast rolling on the floor is so sad.
• Dating sim patch failed.
• The heroine is a mixed martial artist.
• Trying to do a lucky pervert move on a MMA fighter, lol.
• How could it work? lol

The viewers continued to comment, and Dashman felt like he couldn’t take the humiliation anymore.

"Saint Eve, my wrist hurts more than my heart."
"Today, it’s fine to hurt more. I’ll make sure your bad habit of joking about the pain of losing comrades never comes up again."
"Ah... ahh..."

He stepped on not one, but two mines.
It was all going according to Ha Eung Eung’s plan, and even Eve was angry.

"After this broadcast, your joints are going to be ruined."

The outdoor broadcast turned into a content of Dashman being tormented, ending with nine ways to subdue a pervert using submission techniques.
