Despite the rather simplistic nature of Hyeonu’s greeting, the audience's reaction was hot.
-Tearful Eyes has gifted you 100 gold coins.
-Don’t be in a Relationship has gifted you 500 gold coins.
-Daegu Gold Cutlery has gifted you 100 gold coins.
“Thank you Tearful Eyes, Don’t be in a Relationship, and Daegu Gold Cutlery.”
Gold coins poured in. Hyeonu couldn’t help being distracted by the baptism of gold coins pouring in. It was very different from what he heard from Yeongchan.
-It might be a bit awkward at first. However, you will get a little bit of gold. Once you develop a fan base later then it will start.
‘Yeongchan, I think I am starting from the beginning.’
-Playing with gold from the start?
-No place is bursting as much as this room. ㄷㄷ
Gold coins poured in for around three minutes. Hyeonu had to ask them to refrain from gifting gold coins because he needed to proceed with the stream. “Everyone, it is good to shoot gold coins but please do it later. The broadcast can’t continue.”
Gold coins stopped pouring in at Hyeonu’s words. Hyeonu could then talk about the broadcast. “Today, I am going to try to win 100 consecutive matches in the arena. Even if I lose in the middle, I will keep going until I get 100 wins.”
- ㄷㄷ If it is Alley Leader, it is easy to win 100 games in a row.
-Our leader’s class is sufficient.
-Still, 100 consecutive wins seems a bit hard. His level is low.
‘Of course, it is possible.’
Hyeonu scanned the chat window. The reaction of most viewers was that it was possible. The opinion that he would be defeated in the middle was also often seen. Then gold coins once again burst.
-Tearful Eyes has gifted you 82 gold coins. [1]
-Don’t be in a Relationship has gifted you 82 gold coins.
They continued to give 82 to speed up the broadcast.
“I understand. I’ll proceed quickly.”
Hyeonu once again displayed his status window on the screen. Everything was covered with a mosaic except for his level and class. It was information that couldn’t be shown. No, it should never be leaked because it was confidential.
-Wow, it is really level 50.
-Then what level were the previous videos taken at? ㄷㄷ
-The class came out?
The reactions of those who saw the public status window were consistent—it was really level 50.
“Now I will enter the arena.”
Hyeonu entered the arena.
***
There was only one path in the arena—a ranking battle. It was a one-on-one match at the huge Colosseum. The winner’s ranking would rise while the loser’s ranking would fall. Matching was determined by internal indicators. Winning consecutive matches could lead to a dramatic rise in the ranking.
In addition, the first 20 matches were placement tests for calculating internal indicators. There was a rumor that a streamer who had consecutively won all their 20 placement matches and started with a ranking of 100 million out of more than 400 million.
“Then I will start quickly.”
-ㄱㄱㅅ
-I’m dizzy so let’s go quickly.
-End the placement matches soon.
[The ranking battle has started.]
[You haven’t entered the rankings yet.]
[Starting the placement match to enter the rankings.]
A placement match was literally a match to measure a player’s ability and their resulting placement in the initial rankings. In particular, some Arena players argued that if the placement was ruined, they should redevelop their characters to replay the placement matches. The placement matches were that important.
“Everyone, it is the real start.”
Hyeonu’s first battle in the arena began.
***
The placement match went smoothly. Players generally first visited the arena at level 30~40 so it was hard to imagine Hyeonu losing the placement matches.
“Everyone, this is five consecutive wins. I will go for six straight away.”
-Busan Public Interest Man has gifted you 5 gold coins.
The viewers’ gold coins blew up.
“Oh my, Public Interest Man. Thank you for the 5 gold coins. I’ll use it well, hahat.”
Hyeonu responded as much as possible to every single gold coin that came in. However, there was a limit. The viewers saw Hyeonu’s reaction and this sparked a gold coins party.
-Nadori Action has gifted you 3 gold coins.
-Quick Progress has gifted you 8 gold coins.
-Hyejari Action has gifted you 3 gold coins.
“Thank you Nadori Action, Quick Progress, and Hyejari Action. I will cherish the gold coins you have given. I’ll use it to buy qualified items.”
Hyeonu started to feel that streaming fits him.
‘Capitalism... it’s too good.’
At this moment, a monster created by capitalism was born.

There were many types of people watching Hyeonu’s broadcast. There were fans of Alley Leader and those who had a bad relationship with Hyeonu.
“Supervisor-nim, Alley Leader is Gang Hyeonu.”
JT Telecom’s Coach Jeong Byeongjin put a tablet PC in front of Supervisor Kang Ujong. The video playing on the tablet was a comparison of meleegod’s past battles with the current Alley Leader. It started from the exceptionally long sword to the fighting style and skills. It was absolutely perfect.
“That brat, I thought he quit the game?”
“I think he probably went to the army. Then it makes sense to reject our offer.” Jeong Byeongjin responded calmly to Kang Ujong’s annoyance.
He made sense. Going professional was a big deal but the draft notice came. The army—it was a word that made life’s motivation disappear.
“Will you recruit him this time?”
“It will probably be hard. The kids are still doing well.”
“Won’t we have to deal with him if he goes to another team? It will probably be hard. He has a bit of skill...”
“Hey!!!!” Kang Ujong eventually exploded at Jeong Byeongjin.
“Why are you screaming at me? Hyung. Did I say the wrong thing?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
"What can we do? He is a cheat. Still, can he beat all our kids by himself even if he is the same level?”
“Hah... then what about the broadcast now?”
Kang Ujong realized it was useless to worry about other things right now. The current question was Hyeonu’s broadcast.
“Um... now he has won 50 in a row. Sigh. He is fighting terribly well. Just... this time there is a mission where he will win 1,000 gold coins if he fights with bare hands.”
Jeong Byeongjin was so immersed in Hyeonu’s broadcast that he forgot about Kang Ujong’s presence. Hyeonu’s battle sparked an intense immersion.
