Star Stream system—the star stream broadcasting was designed to relay its
contents to the entire universe. The subscribers were constellations at the
top of the distant galaxies, the actors were humans like me, and the
storyteller that connected the two sides was the dokkaebi before me.
[Ha, hahahaha! You are crazy! A crazy human! I should've known it when
you refused the sponsoring of the other constellations!] Bihyung laughed
for a long time before opening his mouth again. [I don't know how you
know about Star Stream Broadcasting but I can't accept the offer. I'm a
dokkaebi, not a constellation. I can't be your sponsor.]
"You seem to have misunderstood. I never told you to sponsor me."
[Huh?]
"I am well aware that you are a weak dokkaebi. I don't need your strength.
I need your channel." [My channel?]
"Since you can't seem to understand me, is there a problem with your
Korean language patch?"
[No, what is this?]
"I will explain it simply. I want to sign an exclusive contract with your
channel."
Bihyung made a blank expression before belatedly regained his spirit. [Wait
a minute. Do you want to make a 'stream contract' with me now?]
"Yes."
A stream contract was originally a contract between dokkaebi and
constellations. The constellation's incarnation would appear on a particular
channel, and the dokkaebi would receive a portion of the coins earned by
the incarnation of the constellation as a commission. Originally, the person
who was the incarnation wouldn't be able to intervene in this contract. It
was called sponsorship, but the contracted incarnation was nothing but a
slave.
[Haha, this is a hit.] Bihyung laughed behind his small fingers. The
surrounding atmosphere was changing. [I don't know how you know about
such things, but to think that some human dares to mention the stream
contract? Moreover, it is a trivial bug with no sponsor?] As his tone
changed, the surrounding air was filled with killing intent. Indeed, even a
low-level dokkaebi was strong compared to humans. However, it wasn't
enough to make me back off.
"It is worth signing a contract because I have no sponsor."
[…What?]
"What do you think the purpose of a constellation is to enter a channel?" At
the sudden question, Bihyung looked like a bad student. From now on, it
was a special lecture time for the low-level dokkaebi. "You don't have to be so nervous. You already know this information. But let's review it again to
see what it means."
Bihyung was caught in my pace and nodded despite himself.
"The Star Stream subscribers can be largely divided into two groups. One
group is the 'fun seekers' who seek to relieve their boredom with the
channel. The other group consist of the 'incarnation searchers' who want to
find an incarnation to contract with them. Isn't that right?"
[Yes. That's right.]
"For this reason, you must be able to satisfy one of the two groups in order
to become a famous channel in Star Stream. In other words, either stick to
the fun seekers or the incarnation seekers. You have to attract one of them
properly."
[You are moderately well informed. But so what? What does this contract
have to do with why constellations subscribe?]
"I don't know how many more hints I have to give you. This is why your
number of subscribers still isn't over three digits."
[…Shut up. Say it quickly.]
Seeing Bihyung thrust his small horns at me cutely, it was hard to believe
the dokkaebi had blown up people's head a while ago. Now it was time to
stop making fun of him and take a chance.
"What if there is a channel that can satisfy both the fun seekers and the
incarnation searchers?"
[What are you saying? Such a thing is impossible. Even if it is possible, it is
only for a while.] Bihyung's words were correct. The reason why it was impossible to satisfy
all the constellations was due to the characteristics of the 'incarnation
searchers' group. The purpose of these constellations was to 'discover an
incarnation'. They changed channels as soon as the Sponsor Selection was
over. Due to this, the incarnation searchers group were just temporary
customers. However…
"That is a story for when the Sponsor Selection proceeds normally."
[What?]
"What if there is an incarnation who doesn't sign a contract with any
constellation? In addition, what if that incarnation shows an ability that
transcends all over incarnations with sponsors?"
The existence of a strong incarnation would attract the eyes of the
constellations. If this incarnation continued to reject selecting a sponsor, the
'incarnation searchers' group would also continue to subscribe without
leaving the channel.
[W-Wait a minute! You— Is this why you didn't select a sponsor…?]
"Yes, that's right."
[Ha… This is interesting.] Bihyung grinned at me. [Becoming the strongest
incarnation without a sponsor… If there is such a thing, it certainly
wouldn't be a dream to become the best Star Stream channel. But such an
incarnation can't exist.]
"Do you really think so?"
[…I admit that you aren't normal. You have attracted the attention of
constellations from the beginning, and thanks to it, I have also been having
fun. However, there is a limit to your delusions. Haven't you noticed it after
going through that? An ordinary human can never beat an incarnation. That
is the law of the world.] "I don't know that."
[You have already missed the opportunity. Look around you. This isn't a
main scenario. You failed a sub-scenario, and now your life is at risk. There
are no constellations watching you―]
"Really?"
[…?]
"By now, the constellations must be in an uproar. Aren't they? Isn't
everybody clamoring for the channel to quickly be opened?" Bihyung was
silent. "Aren't they all going crazy with curiosity right now? Who is that
crazy person who went against the regressor? Is he really a prophet? Can he
really see the future? If he can see the future, why did he get eaten by the
ichthyosaur?"
[S-Stop! You are…]
"From now on, I'm going to show it. So shut up and do what I tell you. Do
you want to become the king of dokkaebis?"
The gaze with which Bihyung was using to look at me was changing, and I
could hear the sound of him gulping. Bihyung was worried. However, in
any case, there was nothing to lose if he believed me here. In that case…?
Bihyung's pupils moved quickly. [Then let's settle the scenario failure first.
Give me 5,100 coins…]
"What are you saying? I didn't fail."
[…Eh?]
"Maybe I've met the conditions by now…" I loosened my body and got up
from my seat. My cold body was stiff. Bihyung still had a stupid expression
on his face. "Open the channel. It will start soon."
Clear Conditions: Kill the ichthyosaur 'sea commander' and escape from
its stomach.
Time Limit: 10 days
Compensation: 9,000 coins
Failure: Death
[Start, what will―]
Then a message rang out in the air.
"Look, didn't I tell you to be prepared?"
There were three types of scenarios in Ways of Survival. The main scenario
was in charge of progressing the main story, the sub-scenarios were
responsible for minor events, and the hidden scenarios were only opened
through special conditions.
[How on earth…?] Bihyung's lips were shaking with shock. Unlike the
main scenarios and sub-scenarios that a dokkaebi was in charge of, the
hidden scenarios were characterized by their automatic appearance when
certain conditions were met.
[ The hidden scenario has arrived !]
[ Hidden Scenario – Commander Slayer ]
Category: Hidden
Difficulty: A+
"You didn't even know. You low-grade dokkaebi."
[You… What on earth?]
"Anyway, if I can clear this, I will prove that I have the ability for the
contract, right?"
Bihyung watched the scenario screen with gloomy eyes. He looked at me
with a careful gaze and asked, [This scenario, the difficulty is A+. Do you
really believe you can clear it?]
"Yes."
There was a small wave as the Han River water crashed against the wall of
the ichthyosaur's stomach. Bihyung was silent for a moment before opening
his mouth, […Okay. If you succeed in clearing this scenario then I will
accept the contract.]
"The terms of the contract will be negotiated after the scenario is cleared."
[So arrogant… Then I will open the channel again. Please try hard.]
"Ah, wait a minute." It would be difficult if he left so soon. I had something
to check. "You have something left to do."
[…What is it now?] Bihyung's mocking tone was somewhat annoying.
"Fix a system error for me."
[System error?]
"My attributes window isn't opening."
[No way. The system can't have an error. The scenario system is perfect.]
"Take a look yourself."
Bihyung looked at me with suspicious eyes and started to mutter
something.
[The dokkaebi 'Bihyung' has used 'System Interference' on you.]
System interference—it was an absolute interference skill that could only
be used by dokkaebis with the right to interfere in the scenario. In fact, it
was unclear if the reason why I couldn't see the attributes window was an
error or not. However, at least the dokkaebi would be able to find out
something. That said, if he couldn't figure it out, that was also a profit for
me.
[The exclusive skill, 'Fourth Wall' is activated!]
In the next moment, sparks flew in the air and struck Bihyung.
