Reincarnator’s Stream

Crack—!

The roof of the wooden hut collapsed. A hunched-over giant turned its head after stomping on the house.

Psst—

Molten breath leaked out between misshapen teeth. The enormous body, looming over the building, easily exceeded 10 meters in height.

The sheer pressure emanating from the massive body blanketed the entire village.

“Faidal…”

The giant’s voice resonated with a deep rumble. At its feet, numerous giants were wreaking havoc on the village.

Boom, crash—!

Groar—!

Around a thousand giants rampaged through the village, driven by rage. They were furious over the death of their leader.

Their vengeance against humans was expressed through the destruction and killing they wrought. And the towering giant amidst the chaos—

“My… son…”

Awoken from a long slumber, driven by grief and rage over his lost son.

Thud, thud—

The giant began to move slowly. Though his steps were slow, each stride covered a great distance. A soldier, terrified by the rapidly closing distance, fell backward in fear.

“Aaah, aaaah…”

Crackle, crackle—

A faint electric current spread through the giant’s eyes.

Thump—

The giant approached the visible humans, murmuring, “I will make sure to soothe your soul with the blood of humans.”

The frightened human who had fallen back met the giant’s gaze as he raised his hand. The giant’s raised hand blocked the sun. Realizing what was about to happen, the human screamed in terror.

“Aaaaah!”

Crash—!

The giants relentlessly demolished the village as they advanced. The scene before Suhyuk’s eyes dissipated like smoke clearing.

Watching the cutscene from a human’s perspective, Suhyuk let out a small “Oh” in admiration. When his vision returned, he was on horseback.

—

– Wow…

– That was amazing.

– It was huge!

– Is that a true giant?

—

As the cutscene ended, the chat exploded with comments. The enormous height that seemed to touch the sky and the overwhelming strength that could destroy buildings with hands and feet.

Strength or level may not be the only measures of power, but there’s always a limit. A monster of that size appearing as a boss? It seemed insurmountable.

‘Is this even possible?’

This time, even Suhyuk furrowed his brows. In Stage 5, ‘Survival’, Suhyuk had taken down the Giant tribe leader.

Even without Lightning, Suhyuk had deemed it possible to penetrate the giants and capture their leader. But this time was different.

“Are they telling me to go die?”

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed impossible.

—

– LOLOLOL LOLOLOL

– The trial tells you to go die LOLOLOL

– It doesn’t make sense, honestly LOLOLOL

– Trial: Just saying, don’t overdo it ^ㅇ^

—

None of the viewers expected Suhyuk to defeat the giant in the video. It was only natural. Even Suhyuk himself found it difficult to see a way out, so it was unlikely that the general viewers would see a solution.

‘It’s not just its size that’s a problem.’

Suhyuk recalled the faint electric current he had seen in the giant’s eyes at the last moment.

‘Could it be that…’

Suhyuk began to contemplate.

—

Realizing that confronting the giant head-on was likely futile, Suhyuk knew he had to devise a strategy.

“At least we know what we’re dealing with.” he muttered, hoping to calm his viewers and himself.

The stakes were high, and this was going to require more than brute force.

“Looks like we’re in for a tough one, but let’s see what we can figure out.”

Suhyuk said, trying to keep his focus.

—

– What’s the plan, Suhyuk?

– We believe in you!

– Come on, you can do it!

—

Seeing the encouraging comments from his viewers, Suhyuk felt a surge of determination.

‘There has to be a way.’

With that thought, he prepared to take on the sixth stage, ready to uncover any possible edge he could use against the towering giant.

“They wouldn’t show this video without a reason.”

Knights and soldiers were gathering in the village. They had assembled to fight the giants. First, it’s not a solo fight. There must have been a reason for showing the cutscene featuring the giant.

It was given to let them know and prepare in advance.

“The giants will need a few more days to reach here.”

Before leaving the village. Ferius came to see Suhyuk off and advised him.

“Don’t come back without finding the Lightning shard. Without it, it’s impossible to catch him.”

It seemed to be a warning that without the reward from the sixth stage, it would be impossible to capture the true giant.

‘No matter how I think about it, there’s no way right now.’

Sitting calmly on a galloping horse, Suhyuk calculated the battle against the giant.

‘In the end, this trial is the critical point…….’

He sighed.

“Why does such a guy have to appear?”

-Indeed, why?

-Enemy of my son: Why is this happening to me?

-LOLOLOL LOL indeed LOLOLOL

-From his perspective, 2ndSuhyuk deserves death LOLOLOL

Suhyuk nodded.

“That’s right.”

It made sense. Since his son died, it was only natural for the parents to seek revenge in a story mode trial like this.

『‘IAmBold’ has donated 100 points.』

『Let’s go for the second try?』

A donation suggesting he would fail.

-Second try ㄲ

-Honestly, this calls for a second try.

-Daddy’s help is cheating~

-Was this the first try?

-Welcome to the crowd.

Responding to the continuing chat, Suhyuk answered.

“There is no trial in this world that cannot be cleared.”

“There is no trial in this world that cannot be cleared.”

A famous quote left in an interview by the past BlueEyes Lee Suhyuk.

The words were used in a similar situation with the same meaning, but it felt different to those listening.

-Wow~ that’s it!

-Confidence is key LOLOLOL

-Recycling quotes like a pro ㄹㅇ

-As expected, a monster devoured by his concept…….

-It’s not a concept; it’s reincarnation, though?

-2ndSuhyuk! 2ndSuhyuk!

-Mom, I want to be 2ndSuhyuk when I grow up!

Among them, there was one chat that felt a bit off. Regardless of what they believed, viewers were thrilled by Suhyuk’s statement.

Most of them were fans who missed the past Lee Suhyuk. The more he resembled Lee Suhyuk, the more they couldn’t help but get excited.

And that probably included Suhyuk’s manager, Un Hyang.

『‘SafeAsset’ has registered a mission.』

『So if you catch that, 3000 points?』

A viewer who only registers missions for trials that seem likely to fail has also registered a mission. The atmosphere was similar to when they obtained the Lightning.

『‘IloveLeeSuhyuk’ has registered a mission.』

『Same mission, 3000 points.』

『‘ThatGuyKnowsAlba’ has registered a mission.』

『A small 1000 points.』

『‘11thFloorResident’ has registered a mission.』

『All 2000 points.』

『…….』

Missions are pouring in one after another.

Some were registered with cheers, while others were registered with the thought, “Let’s see how it goes.”

Of course.

“It’s nice.”

Regardless of their intentions. Once received, they were all the same points in the end.

“Everyone.”

Suhyuk, who had lumped together the viewers who had registered missions as “everyone,” gave them a premature greeting.

“Thank you for your support in advance.”

It was a confident greeting, just like always. But there was no viewer who felt bad about it. A mission was a form of support while also being a wager between the viewer and the streamer.

Moreover, in cases like Suhyuk’s, where he took on such challenging missions, the stakes were even higher.

Most viewers who supported through missions were of that type, so they were even more enthusiastic about this bold response.

Of course.

Whether it was the one who had made the wager or the one who had accepted it. Both sides were confident in their ability to win.

Whinny-!

As he pulled the reins, the horse let out a whinnying sound and stopped moving. Suhyuk, who had dismounted, looked at his destination.

A massive mountain that towered high in the sky. That mountain was the stage for the sixth stage, “Legend”.

“‘Lightning Fragment’ is an item that appears only in Legend. Whether it’s a special power, an item, or a person… we don’t know anything about it.”

“The method to obtain it is also unknown. All we know is the location of the mountain and Legend.”

It was an irresponsible story. They didn’t know what Lightning’s Fragment was or how to obtain it. But what was important to Suhyuk was not that.

“Still, this is certain. In the past, a being that wielded the Lightning annihilated the giants.”

‘Annihilation of giants…….’

Suhyuk recalled the legend he had learned about during this trial. He thought he knew more about the Lightning than anyone else, having handled its power for a longer time.

But he didn’t know much about where that power came from or who had used it.

“Is there a Lightning Shard here, then?”

If that were the case, then what they obtained here would likely be the key to defeating the giant they saw in the cutscene. Suhyuk slowly approached the massive rocky mountain before him.

A rocky mountain with no entrance. The towering rocky mountain was so large and high that it reached thousands of meters into the sky.

But aside from that, it didn’t seem all that special. After circling around the mountain for quite some time. No matter how much he looked around, there was nothing else in the vicinity.

“What the…?”

-Ta-da! It’s been a super fun prank show!

-What are you supposed to do here?

— No idea?

-AhemFerius: Whatever.

In other cases, it might have been understandable, but there shouldn’t really be nothing here. As mentioned earlier, Suhyuk believed there was no trial in this world that couldn’t be cleared.

So surely. There would be a clue somewhere in this place that would allow him to pass this stage.

‘This stage changed routes after I captured the Giant Chief. That means…….’

After contemplating for a bit, Suhyuk seemed to make up his mind and started to move.

*

Un Hyang, who had settled into her lodging, immediately called John Dale.

“Boss! The contract is successful!”

Reporting to the boss after securing a contract was the first thing to be done. John Dale, who received the report, also congratulated her with a cheerful voice.

-“Finally, Un Hyang, you’re functioning as a human being!”

– Finally? Functioning as a human being?

A few question marks floated through Un Hyang’s mind before disappearing. She was puzzled whether this was praise for doing a good job or not.

-“I just met Falcon Eyes yesterday. More details will……”

Click-

The call ended after the report. Despite John Dale’s texts about unfinished business, there was something more urgent for Un Hyang now.

“Time to watch the stream~”

She lay down on the bed and turned on Suhyuk’s stream.

She was in a hurry, frustrated at the time lost while securing a lodging and reporting to John Dale.

“What the heck, it was AhemFerius.”

The moment started from when Ferius turned into AhemFerius.

‘I’m glad I informed them about the mic channel.’

Usually, adding a word here and there in such moments adds to the fun of the stream.

Until now, Suhyuk had been too conscious of the trial. As everything the viewers heard was also heard by the characters in the trial.

But thanks to the mic channel, that inconvenience disappeared. Casual laughter erupted, followed by a scene where the knights were suspicious of Suhyuk.

“They seem to distrust what I’ve caught. Or is it that they don’t want to believe it?”

He didn’t seem to be upset.

Rather.

“Rude, aren’t they?”

He candidly expressed his thoughts to the viewers.

“Oh my gosh! What the…!”

-Yes, this was it.

-This confidence.

-And the skills and achievements backing this confidence.

-This is Lee Suhyuk.

-No, it’s 2ndSuhyuk.

She got so engrossed in the stream that she lost track of time. Suhyuk, on horseback, began moving towards a mountain a bit away from the village.

Upon arriving there.

“What is this?”

Suhyuk couldn’t find anything.

“Seriously. What is this?”

For a while, the chat was filled with comments teasing Suhyuk for his futile effort.

Standing still as if an answer was not visible.

In the midst of it.

“Wh-what is this?”

Un Hyang, startled, suddenly sat up and murmured.

“What is he doing, really?”
