Reincarnator’s Stream

Lightning.

It was one of the two cheat codes in the Players Community. The other was undeniably Lee Suhyuk.

And now, in this post, both cheat codes were mentioned.

Hey, guide to getting Lightning is out LOLOLOL ps. Newbie Hyuk

『Crazy stuff right now LOLOLOL Yesterday, everyone got excited over Newbie Hyuk, and I checked it out. He really got Lightning.

Easy. You just have to defeat the Giant tribe boss in the ‘Survival’ stage.

Think I’m lying? If you think it’s BS, check the stream below. Link attached.』

The fact that this post combined both “Lightning” and “Lee Suhyuk” made it a hot topic on the Players Community forum in an instant.

– ??? Not a clickbait???

– Has to be clickbait LOLOLOL

– Yeah right. If you’re gonna lie, at least put some effort into it LOLOLOL How could you even beat that LOLOLOL LOL

– Sure, it’s super easy, isn’t it

– Clickbait avoidance line ——–

Initially, most people were skeptical. But it wasn’t hard to verify, and the stream already had over 500 viewers.

– LOLOLOL LOL You guys sound just like the people watching the stream

– How to beat it? Watch the replay

– Right now, newbie Hyuk hasn’t enabled replays

– ㅇㅇ This is his first stream LOLOLOL

— What? Is it real??

— I just checked, it’s real;; How on earth??

First stream.

Name: Lee Suhyuk.

Acquiring the Lightning.

A short but sensational description.

– Lee Suhyuk!!! I always believed in you!!!

– Suhyuk cult patience pays off!!!

– Lee Suhyuk is really pushing the limits; surely he’s not reincarnated LOLOLOL

– Ding! 『Lee Suhyuk uses ‘Reincarnation’.』

– ReincarnationLOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOL

Even at its peak, it was definitely a hot topic.

Moreover, among current players and streamers, there were plenty who were fans of Lee Suhyuk.

Maybe that’s why. A streamer with around 8,000 viewers. A streamer who specializes in reaction content, ‘Falcon Eye’ decided to react to Suhyuk’s stream.

“Hello, everyone! Today, we’ll dissect and analyze the hot topic, Lee Suhyuk!”

Falcon Eye started his stream smoothly. On his screen, there was a window showing Suhyuk surrounded by giants.

“Why did I say ‘hot’? Just wait a bit… Oh, no one asked? So what.”

– LOLOLOL LOL

– King-level commentary LOLOLOL

– The bluntness is real LOLOLOL

– This is why we love Falcon Eye

“Alright, focus everyone. This is a highlight reel sent in by a viewer, of Lee Suhyuk. They recorded it themselves.”

Falcon Eye then played a short video lasting a few minutes. From the moment Suhyuk defeated the Giant tribe boss, obtained the Lightning, and made his escape.

Watching the video for the first time along with his viewers, Falcon Eye’s eyes and mouth gradually widened.

“Wow….”

His reactions were nothing but awe. It was as if he forgot he was live, silently engrossed in the video.

-This is insane…

-Is this the current 2nd floor level?

-Dude is drooling

-Falcon Eye’s reaction is genuine?

-Falcon Eye usually doesn’t react much to impressive stuff

-Falcon Eye gets speechless when he sees something amazing

—

Falcon Eye.

A streamer whose nickname is short for “Eye of the Falcon”.

He primarily focused on reaction content, gaining success as a streamer by analyzing player battles. Falcon Eye watched and analyzed countless player videos.

Among them were recent Blue Zone joiner Cha Minwoo and Kim Ilsoo, an original member of Blue Eyes. And of course. Even the all-time legend among players, Lee Suhyuk, was no exception.

—

-It’s not as impressive as I thought. The effects are small, nowhere near Lee Suhyuk’s usual level.

Falcon Eye snapped out of it at a viewer’s critical comment.

This wasn’t something to judge so lightly.

“Alright, everyone, please refrain from unfair criticism. Wow, how is he doing this?”

Involuntarily expressing his amazement, Falcon Eye shook his head. Instead of just being awestruck, he needed to continue the analysis.

“Do you see this red-tinged effect on the weapon he’s using? That’s a magic sword.”

—

-A magic sword?

-Using a magic sword on the 2nd floor?

-He won’t be able to maintain his stamina at this rate ㄷㄷㄷ

—

Items classified as magic swords were well-known. Typically requiring a considerable amount of stamina to wield, magic swords were generally used from the 3rd floor onward.

“Yes, exactly. Stamina is the key. And given that the effect is visible even in this combat scenario, it’s at least a rare-grade magic sword.”

—

-Rare-grade?

-For a 2nd floor newbie?

-He’ll run out of stamina in no time

-But against those giants, a magic sword might be necessary

—

Chat messages rolled in quickly. Just like during any stream, debates arose on whether using a magic sword was a wise choice or not.

This chaos was familiar. Falcon Eye continued his explanation.

“But you all know the drawback of Lightning, right?”

—

-Oh, now that you mention it…

-Lightning also drains stamina like crazy ㅇㅇ

-Lee Suhyuk special. Burns out quickly LOLOLOL

-LOLOLOL Short and intense.

-But way too intense LOLOLOL

—

“Exactly. Lightning drains stamina like magic swords. But here, this guy is continuously swinging the magic sword after decapitating the giant tribe boss.”

Boom-!

Click-.

Falcon Eye paused the video once more at the moment Lightning dropped as a reward.

“And obtaining the Lightning in that state? Frankly, it’s the worst scenario.”

Running out of stamina. And then getting a skill that drains stamina as a reward. Under the circumstances, it couldn’t be worse.

“But what did Newbie Hyuk do then?”

The video resumed.

Right after acquiring the Lightning, Suhyuk broke through the giants’ encirclement. The power of the sword amplified by Lightning. At the same time, Suhyuk’s movements became quicker and more agile.

Swish, swish.

Click, click.

Falcon Eye paused the video intermittently, zooming in to explain further.

“He controlled the Lightning. He increased the sword’s speed for his arms, channeled strength into the sword, and enhanced his legs for quick movements.”

Every now and then, you could see the lightning effects coursing through his hands, sword, and legs.

In the chaotic battle, despite the small effects, Falcon Eye’s vision was sharp.

“He used his limited strength efficiently, utilizing the skill exactly where it was needed without wasting any energy!”

Boom.

Falcon Eye stood up abruptly, slamming his desk.

“The concentration, damn it! This is insane. How does he do this with a newly acquired skill? Is he even human?”

—

-What the heck???? Is that even possible???

-??? What does this even mean?

-Am I the only one who doesn’t get it?

-Oh~ I totally understood (didn’t understand at all)

-LOL, how can you do something you don’t understand?

-Theoretically possible

-If this is real, it’s crazy!!!

—

After his explanation, Falcon Eye played the video over and over, mesmerized. The chat was buzzing with viewers inventing new nicknames for this new Suhyuk. Newbie Hyuk, second Suhyuk, Fake Suhyuk…

Seeing the chat, Falcon Eye sighed and shook his head.

‘Less than half of them get it.’

Controlling a skill on a micro level required immense concentration and skill. Especially for high-tier skills like Lightning, the difficulty of fine control was exponentially higher.

And yet, streamer Lee Suhyuk was doing that from the start. He utilized the skill in the heat of battle, adapting on the fly.

‘Instant decision-making, the concentration and skill required for delicate control, and not making a single mistake.’

This person managed to pull it all off the moment he obtained the skill.

“Amazing….”

It had been a long time since Falcon Eye had seen such dazzling play since Lee Suhyuk’s prime. He had started this content thinking it would be just another interesting video, but his thoughts had shifted.

He felt like he was becoming a genuine fan.

—

-Final thoughts?

“Oh, right.”

Momentarily forgetting he was live, Falcon Eye snapped back to attention.

Final thoughts. A content segment where he summarized the observed play in one line. This could only be the highest form of praise.

“Based on control alone, this is better than Lee Suhyuk in his prime.”

***

Ferius was an exceptional knight. Even against large giants, he could handle 2-3 on his own. It was no surprise that he volunteered to take down the Giant tribe leader.

Suhyuk confirmed that Ferius was shaking off the giants chasing them while carrying him, and then he lost consciousness.

—

『The 6th stage is waiting.』

『Current fatigue level: 0.』

『Do you wish to stop the trial?』

—

There were two conditions to stop the trial and return. One, you have to clear a stage, and two, you must be in a perfect condition, with a fatigue level of 0.

You could stop in-between stages without affecting the next trial, only if these conditions were met. It seemed he had briefly rested enough for his fatigue to drop to 0.

However, one must be careful.

‘While physical fatigue may have been restored, mental exhaustion persists.’

One shouldn’t be deceived by the visible fatigue level. To maintain high concentration, appropriate rest is essential. The outcome of difficult trials often hinges on the smallest difference in condition.

Moreover,

‘I also need time to synchronize Lightning with Selfish Sacrifice.’

He needed to see how much combat strength he could muster while using Selfish Sacrifice in a fully rested state. Even if just to explore this, he needed to take a brief pause.

“It’s been great having you all today.”

Before concluding the trial, Suhyuk said his goodbyes to the viewers of his stream.

—

『Viewers: 742』

—

The number of viewers was steadily increasing.

He wondered why, considering all he had done was rest until his fatigue reached 0.

—

– ????

– Is the stream ending here?

– I only saw you resting

– If you were going to end it, you should have said earlier ㅠ

—

Disappointment and complaints bubbled up in the chat.

‘Maybe I should have ended the stream first.’

Viewers waiting for him to recover were understandably surprised and frustrated. They had patiently waited to see the next stage being tackled. A seasoned streamer would have anticipated this and ended the stream earlier.

Focused too much on the trial, Suhyuk had neglected his streaming duties.

“I apologize. Next time, I will inform you in advance.”

—

-It’s okay

-Today’s your first stream, so it’s understandable

-?? Is this your first stream?

– I’ve seen this question 500 times today

-When is the next stream?

—

“I will continue the next stream after a day’s break.”

—

– Subscription done

– Su-bye~ (not a swear word)

– Su-bye (Short for Suhyuk Bye)

– BB2

—

More farewells poured in. After a brief pause, Suhyuk ended both the trial and the stream.

『Ending the trial.』

『Ending the stream.』

—

Hisssss—

As the trial ended, the scene before his eyes faded away, revealing the white room of the 2nd floor trial arena. Suhyuk walked towards the exit, pulling out a kit from his pocket.

‘Not bad for the first day, I guess?’

The trial itself was mostly familiar territory, so there were no major concerns. However, the streaming side of things was more worrisome.

He couldn’t quite tell if the initial session had gone well, not having much knowledge about it. With mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety, he was about to turn on the kit and check the streaming address when a notification popped up on his Players ID.

There was a message waiting for him.

—

『Streamer Lee Suhyuk, this is Un Hyang from the management division of Balhae Entertainment…』

—

A lengthy message.

Suhyuk tilted his head in curiosity as he took off his restrictive mask.

“Entertainment…?”
