The world always reacts sensitively to all kinds of changes.

Two weeks after our raid’s successful conclusion, the internet community was buzzing with stories about .

It was the same on Twipod.

Streamers broadcasting were dominating the top ranks, with the streamers from ChickenBox leading the charge.

They were the key contributors to the founding of , having participated in Dong-su hyung’s raid.

It was only natural that they topped the streaming rankings.

Those who had become rankers possessed vast knowledge and had each accumulated their own know-how.

Thus, took over Twipod, and everyone was starting .

Some streamers were already banding together to form guilds, actively gathering forces.

Anyway.

Despite the start of , I hadn’t even created a game ID yet.

Was it a short break, perhaps?

I had announced a two-week break from broadcasting as well.

“Hyung.”

“What?”

“Shouldn’t you strike while the iron is hot? A two-week break is too much.”

“Oh, that?”

While I was lounging on the sofa, Jin-hyuk asked me with a concerned expression.

This guy, Jin-hyuk, had been playing lately, sleeping only 6 hours a day.

He usually slept 8-10 hours, after all.

Yawning, I responded to Jin-hyuk’s question.

“It’s too easy.”

“Huh?”

“Even if I start a month late, I’ll be back at the top in two weeks. I’m just giving others a chance.”

“…You’re so arrogant.”

“My competition is me.”

It wasn’t a joke, it was the truth.

There was no reason to rush.

To be honest, I didn’t have any obsession with regaining the top spot, I just felt at ease.

“Haven’t you always said to strike while the iron is hot?”

“Do you think I’m just resting without any thoughts?”

“Yeah.”

Look at this cheeky brat.

“SBC Broadcasting Station is filming a Gaia Online variety show starting in two weeks. Do you think I’ve just been resting? Adults have their own reasons.” ṚΆŊ𝔬฿ÈṨ

SBC Broadcasting Station, which live-streamed the opening, created a new program dedicated to , airing from 6 to 8 PM, making it the first public broadcasting station to do so.

An unprecedented schedule by a public broadcaster.

It meant they were also actively considering virtual reality games.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah?”

“But you really look good these days.”

“Do I?”

Maybe it’s because I had no more worries.

I gave a slight smile and then glanced at Jin-hyuk.

“How’s the game? Is it fun?”

“It’s exactly like you said when you were in the hospital. I think it’s really fun. It’s hard to believe it’s an old game.”

“Of course.”

It was rated as a game ahead of its time by decades.

An RPG of a quality that the current ones could never match.

Come to think of it, when Jin-hyuk was bedridden, all the stories I told him were about .

My student years were filled with , and Jin-hyuk’s student years were filled with my stories about .

It was a special game for us brothers.

I wondered how Jin-hyuk felt playing the game he had only heard about in stories.

I wasn’t sure, but he definitely seemed to enjoy it.

And games.

“As long as they’re fun, right? Isn’t that so, hyung?”

“Yeah.”

As Jin-hyuk said, as long as it’s fun, that’s all that matters.

I grinned and lightly smacked his back. Then, I stretched as I got up from my seat.

“I should start streaming again today.”

“Ah, I was leeching off your viewers perfectly… Let’s just take a longer break, hyung.”

“Have you developed some tolerance for the Evil Gang lately?”

“Isn’t the younger brother just like the older brother?”

Thinking of stealing my viewers, huh?

Indeed, recently, with me not streaming, many of my viewers had flocked to Jin-hyuk’s streams.

Normally, Jin-hyuk would have begged me to take them back.

But everyone grows in their own way.

Jin-hyuk had now become a respectable streamer who knew how to handle the Evil Gang.

“Right. Hyung, I have a favor to ask.”

“If it’s not too difficult, I’ll consider it.”

“You’re going to create a guild, right? Can you include me in it? Since we’re brothers, make me the vice-guild master. How about it? The two of us ruling together.”

Was he developing a desire for power?

Vice-guild master, huh.

Well… it’s not impossible.

“I’m going to create it with the Evil Gang members, you sure you can handle being the vice-guild master?”

“Of course, hyung. I actually like the Evil Gang now.”

That sounded a bit dangerous.

Currently, the strongest force on Twipod was the alliance guild of Dong-su hyung, Sae-rin noona, and Yoo-seon noona.

They’re shameless, but it was expected since that trio often played games together.

The next strongest guild was led by Heo-soo, and starting today, I was planning to join the fray myself.

I lightly nodded at Jin-hyuk’s request.

“Alright, let’s do that.”

“I just need to wait until this evening, right?”

“Yeah.”

“I can’t wait any longer. I’m losing Gaia Online time.”

“Gaia Online time?”

“Yeah, I’m losing Gaia Online time! I’m heading into the capsule first!”

After saying what he needed to, Jin-hyuk ran straight to his room where his capsule was.

I chuckled at his retreating figure.

It was nice to see him so enthusiastic about the game.

Alright, I should get cleaned up and start preparing for the stream too.
