NOVEL WEB Chapter 88 - Create And Fight
Chapter 88: Create And Fight

“….”
My instinct and very natural inclination to click on that post were halted by my reason. Regardless of my desire, there had to be a proper order and process to everything.
A series of fleeting moments and afterimages flashed by, reorganizing my thoughts. Judging by the outcome, diving straight into that fan space to watch the video didn’t seem like a good idea.
Here’s why.
I’ve occasionally mentioned on the broadcast that I should properly manage Yourspace. Since it was a new direction, it was essential to choose the right person.
However, if I clicked on that post right now, it might give the impression that I was hiring a video editor on a whim.
Even if that wasn’t necessarily the case, the logical flow could lead in that direction. To put it simply, if I watched the video via that promotional link, there would be reactions and preferences, whether I liked it or not.
If the reactions were positive, the chat would definitely start suggesting hiring that person as an editor to grow the channel.
I didn’t think that kind of makeshift approach was the right way to go.
Instead, I copied the community link without clicking on the post and opened a new window that wouldn’t show on the broadcast screen.
A few glances guided the cursor to click on the personal message window, which automatically began drafting my message. I didn’t plan to send it just yet since I hadn’t watched the video.
The chat was gradually filling with questions about what I was doing, but I simply told them to wait for a moment without any further response.
I clicked on the popular posts in the promotional tab through the newly opened window.
I scrolled quickly. Without touching the Yourspace link, I just observed the reactions. There were quite a few positive comments. Honestly, I didn’t expect any negative ones unless it was outright terrible. My community had that kind of vibe.
After tossing the window to a corner of the screen, I continued speaking.
“I’ll check it out later after the broadcast.”
I also warned not to send the video from that Yourspace as a donation.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit curious, but that was all there was to it. Suppressing instincts with reason was something only humans could do.
Although the chat didn’t calm down easily, once I exited the promotional tab and swiftly changed the topic, the discussions naturally died down. I couldn’t make a decision about the editor just based on the opinions I saw during the broadcast.
After a brief contemplation, I completely set aside that matter. It wouldn’t be proper to let my thoughts drift while engaging with the viewers.
The communication continued for about another hour. The time spent in “Just Chatting” had nearly doubled recently. It had been gradually increasing, but it spiked around the time the preliminary rank began.
Viewers were curious about many things. It was natural, after all. Human instinct is to question the unknown.
A minor issue, if it could be called that, was that some pro gamers occasionally showed up. Fortunately, none of them were from SSM. In fact, there weren’t any.
They should be focusing on digesting the curriculum I set up, not watching my broadcast.
<(ClearSky) Leni has donated 10,000 won.>
”I dropped by… Do you do a lot of Just Chatting?”
“Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Leni… It’s more accurate to say that I don’t broadcast Dark Zone separately after the preliminary rank. But soon, once the rank stabilizes, I plan to prepare some content pushing the main mission.”
Main??????? Mission???
Fact) This person still hasn’t completed the main mission.
A master in PVP but a newbie in PVE? LOL
Yeah… Just push the main mission… Don’t play weird games… Or just do Just Chatting….
(Warning) You might suddenly switch to a bad game while saying this.
I wasn’t sure, but I guessed it would be with Harmony.
Whether in the past or now, if I had time, I occasionally watched her broadcasts over her shoulder. Not live, but through Yourspace.
Most of what I watched were the recently added Dark Zone edited videos. About a month had passed, so the early echoes from the Unauthorized Zone had turned into proper works and were uploaded to Yourspace.
Four videos averaging 20 minutes each had already exceeded 2 million views.
Harmony, despite the fame gained from Dark Zone, didn’t play the game very often.
Given that she was fundamentally a variety game streamer, it was understandable – although she did say she really liked the game – and she also promised to align her main mission progress with mine.
At first, I wondered if it was necessary. It felt like she was accommodating my personal affairs too much, but she said it was more convenient to push through it with someone reliable.
Plus, there was the aftermath of the previous sniping incident.
That aside, whether KSM or the main event, to participate seriously, all functions of the ICARUS tech had to be fully unlocked.
In any case, there was no choice not to do it. We hadn’t touched it yet only because it was the second day of the preliminary rank.
After explaining the last part briefly, I marked the future tasks on the ICARUS gear. The word “contact Harmony” was included. This part went out on the broadcast.
If she was sneakily watching my broadcast, I thought she might send a text immediately, but she didn’t. Maybe streaming at the same time played a part.
Looking at it another way, it might be that I was somewhat splitting Harmony’s viewer share. That thought suddenly crossed my mind. I felt a bit sorry.
Anyway.
“I’ll turn on Dark Zone slowly, maybe tomorrow or in a few days, and today I’ll check out some sub-games… As always, let’s go to the recommendation section.”
What bizarre, weird, or surprisingly fresh games would be there today?
In a way, it was my karma.
The evening had just begun.
[Dark Zone – Yoo Jin Sub Gallery]
[General] I thought you’d check out the fan space link in the promo section, but you didn’t?
I was kind of surprised you didn’t pay much attention to the fan space even though you’ve been thinking about Yourspace for a while. Shouldn’t we just leave it since you said you’d contact them later??

If you didn’t care at all, you wouldn’t have put up a thumbnail, idiot.
ㄴ[Author]
Fact) The ones saying to leave it alone are actually the most impatient.
ㄴLOL, how did you know?
I wish you’d hire editors for various content like chatting, bad games, Dark Zone, and tail moments, then post them.
ㄴHow naturally you slipped in the tail editor LOL
ㄴHonestly, I think we need one.
ㄴIf you make a shorts collection of tail moments, time would fly by LOL
If you hire an editor and post a bit more, you’ll hit 100,000 subscribers in no time. It’s frustrating.
ㄴYou’ve only been broadcasting for a month, be patient LOL
ㄴI don’t know about that, just give me the content.

[General] This guy is playing another weird game LOL
He started playing an indie game where you make weapons and fight. I thought it was surprisingly normal, but the weapon customization is top-notch LOL
I’ve never seen her laugh so openly LOL
[All Comments] [By Registration Order]
Look at that expression LOL
She’s so happy LOL
She’s still making weird stuff and laughing like crazy LOL
ㄴ[Author] When she laughs, her tail curls up, it’s so cute LOL
ㄴOh
ㄴGotta go watch now LOL
I can’t believe I’m smiling at an avatar, not a real woman. It’s making me feel ashamed.
ㄴI used to hate reptiles, bro LOL
ㄴThat’s how everyone falls for Serpentia.
ㄴAdmit it, you want to be coiled by the tail, right, you perverts? Why deny it here LOL

“Hehe, no, really, ha ha….”
The clanging sound. It was the sound made during customization. A chain attached to the handle of a short sword. And at the end of it hung… two very smooth-looking dark purple iron balls. Two iron balls the size of watermelons dangled like well-ripened fruit.
It seemed like a mace, but the visuals were just…
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Neither could the chat.
LOL
Sister, you can’t fit something that big in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dangle dangle LOL
Are you crazy LOL
Damn LOL
Teacher, please stop poking my butt with your tail. What? It’s not the tail? Aw.
“Hey, don’t send donations like that, hehe… Anyway, I don’t think this will be very efficient.”
Only 20 minutes into the game.
The character looked like a low-budget cosplay version of the splendid Roman legionnaire from the past, wearing a helmet that looked like a cleaning brush cut and glued to a Russian hat called Ushanka, a white T-shirt, and green panties.
After fighting against characters identical to mine, wielding the same weapons – though I didn’t control them directly – I unlocked the weapon customization feature.
From that point, the real madness began.
This game, which seemed to twist the gladiator game concept from the very bottom, urged me to use all sorts of crazy items like flamethrowers, circular saws, bricks, and giant tuna among the customization options.
As soon as I met those expectations, the game went wild, and in less than 10 minutes, I was swinging a
short sword attached to a brick block over ten meters long and weighing 200 kg.
As time passed, the customization became increasingly bizarre, and by the 20th minute, when I was saying these words, it had become completely chaotic.
[Notification: Would you like to name the weapon ‘Great Assets’?]
[Notification: Registered!]
LOL
Bigger than an ostrich egg, dangling LOL
My stomach hurts LOL
This person is enjoying it now.
Pro gamers here to learn tips are freaking out LOL
“Ah, I laughed too much. Let’s deploy with this.”
Doo-doo───!
A majestic yet low horn sound reverberated, and the character was placed in a small circular arena with traps with flamethrowers and bricks hanging at the end.
However, this game remembered the past, and enemies were coming at me with sickles, bricks, flamethrowers, and saw blades attached to various bizarre weapons I had made a few minutes ago.
With a thud, my character flew through the air.
The enemy AI, wielding a 200kg weapon with bricks attached, was rampaging, and I was reduced to a mere corpse.
Meanwhile, another enemy, carrying the weapon I had just created with two giant balls attached, rushed in and was brutally cut down. Indeed, the old weapons were the best. The weapons I had made earlier were truly cheat codes.
Meanwhile, a donation hit the mark.
Indeed, long, large, grand, and heavy weapons are the best. I’ve learned your preference, teacher. Thank you for today’s lesson.
“No, you need to properly explain the subject and object. Saying it like that makes me sound weird.”
Sending this as a donation, crazy guy LOL
Fact) No convincing argument after making a double-ball weapon LOL
Teacher, it’s too late. Just accept it LOL
It’s too funny LOL
You named the weapon like that and are denying it? Too late LOL
In that sense, today’s broadcast… was not smooth.
I laughed so much my stomach hurt.
Just another day in the life.
To promote to more people as I mentioned in the notice…
I’m working on creating cute emoticons.
Hehe
