I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game [EN]: Chapter 814

Click.

The broadcast started.

The camera shook for a moment, then focused on a man sitting in a gaming chair.

“Hi everyone~”

The man waved at the camera.

Viewers who received the notification that the broadcast had started began to post messages in the chat.

– Hi~

– Good morning, God-deok

– Why does it feel like it’s been so long since we’ve seen you lol

– Because it actually has been a long time

– Is this the first broadcast after this guy was hospitalized?

– That’s what they say……

– Did you enjoy the hospital food? You look more swollen than usual

The man, Go-jeon-deok-hu, smiled wryly and scratched his messy hair.

“Yes, I suddenly collapsed while broadcasting last time… I was taken to the emergency room and hospitalized, and I’ve been resting for a few days. I turned on the broadcast as soon as I got home from the hospital.”

– I almost fainted watching the live broadcast then; he suddenly fell backward

– Go-deok really did faint lol

– He was just too happy to clear ‘Protect the Empire’…

– Clearing the hellish ‘Protect the Empire’ is worth that much

– There was even an article about the clear on overseas communities

– In Korean communities, there was an article about him fainting lol

– It was an all-day marathon broadcast at the end, so it’s understandable that he collapsed

– lol, 10,000 people watched the clear live, 50,000 watched the ambulance live, legendary

Go-jeon-deok-hu looked very embarrassed when the story of the day he collapsed came up.

“Oh, everything suddenly started spinning, and then I just blacked out. But it was a relief that you guys called 119 [Korean emergency number]. Luckily, my manager also knew my address….”

– Yeah, we saved you

– If you’re grateful, buy us some ice cream

– The positive function of broadcasting lol

– But if you hadn’t been broadcasting in the first place, you wouldn’t have collapsed from overwork…?

– Shhh, be quiet!!!

– Broadcasting is more important than health… I can’t even joke about that anymore

– Sickly old man Go-jeon-deok-hu, wow

– Go-deok~ You have to take care of your health while broadcasting from now on~ Okay?

That’s when it happened.

Ding!

The first donation message of today’s broadcast was displayed with a notification sound.

[‘BlackBox’ donated 10,000 won!]

– What did you eat in the hospital? I’m asking for the third time

“Thank you for the 10,000 won… But why is everyone so curious about what I ate?”

– Food is a big deal lol

– Seriously, this nation is crazy about food…

– No, so what did you eat? (4th try)

– (5th try)

– (6th try)

– (741st try)

“Wait, wait. Don’t go to 742 tries, calm down. I knew you’d ask, so I took pictures.”

– lol, we always ask, so now he takes pictures

– ‘That’s how it is’

– Honestly, taking pictures before eating is an international manner;;;

– True lol

– Violation will be punished by unsubscription under such-and-such law

Go-jeon-deok-hu displayed the pictures of the meals he had while he was hospitalized, one after another.

The viewers were horrified by the array of pale, overly healthy hospital food photos, but Go-jeon-deok-hu waved his hand.

“I actually thought it was pretty good? It was lightly seasoned and fine. If it was near my house, I would want to eat it every day! You guys underestimate hospital food, but it’s healthy and delicious.”

– As expected of an old man’s taste…

– I’m an old man too, but that’s a bit much;

– Mom!!! Bring me some kimchi!!!

– As a Korean, you have to eat spicy and salty food, tsk tsk

The pointless hospital food talk soon turned into stories about his hospital life.

Since there could have been a possible illness, Go-jeon-deok-hu was hospitalized for almost a week for thorough examinations and rest.

The scary tests, the liquor and cigarette black marketeer he met at the hospital’s first-floor store, the battle between ‘King of the Patients’ Mr. Park and the ‘Busan Ajumma’ [Middle-aged woman from Busan] Mrs. Hong who rebelled against him, and so on…

Go-jeon-deok-hu was telling stories about his hospitalization when he suddenly clapped his hands.

“Oh, right! And something really strange happened.”

– Go-deok’s special) If he makes a fuss, it’s nothing

– Go-deok’s special) If he says it casually, it’s a crazy incident

– No, finish the story about Mr. Park and Mrs. Hong;;;

– So who became the next king of the ward!!!

“No, everyone, this is not me making a fuss, it was a bizarre incident that I experienced for the first time in my life!”

– Is there a more insane incident than the normal battle in the ward…?

– Hmm… is it that serious?

– Let’s hear it first

– If it’s boring, I’ll unsubscribe, get ready lol

Go-jeon-deok-hu took a breath.

He lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

“A woman suddenly came to my hospital room to find me!”

– Already boring;

– Skip it

– Okay~ We heard you~ It was fun~

– It’s probably a typical story of a viewer coming to see him

– I’m a fan~ Let’s communicate~

– Evil meet-up on lol

“No, no, I’m not kidding! She really came to see me, saying she was my fan!”

– ?

– Really?

– Why is this real?

– How did Go-deok even find out which hospital he was in?

– Stalking is too much;

The viewers were worried that he might have been stalked by a malicious viewer.

But the story that followed was even stranger.

“She suddenly came into my hospital room, or did she even come in? She suddenly appeared in front of me with a flash! And she said… she came to this world to see me!”

– ?

– ??

– ???

“She was even a foreigner! She had a very unique style, her hair was pink, and she had tanned skin… and she said she would take care of me!”

– ……?

– ?????

– What is he talking about?

The chat was filled with countless ‘?’s.

But Go-jeon-deok-hu continued to speak enthusiastically.

“She said she wanted to take care of me for the rest of my life! And she was all over me… wow, it was my first time experiencing something like that, so I was really surprised!”

– ㅡㅡ

– Sigh……;

– So… a pink-tanned person you’ve never seen before… came to you because she liked you… is that what you’re saying?

– I’m looking for an anime with that kind of content

– So that’s your taste, sir…….

“No, I’m not talking nonsense! Really! I’m only telling the 100 percent true facts!”

Go-jeon-deok-hu was frustrated, but the atmosphere in the chat was already cold.

– I’m an idiot for worrying about this weeb for even a moment

– Isn’t it a hallucination from overwork?

– Did he take too little or too much medicine?

– He fell badly when he collapsed, his head must be broken

– He’s going to be readmitted

Ding!

Paid donations continued.

[‘TrashGameSommelier’ donated 10,000 won!]

– Dude, you’ve been playing trash games for too long, you seem to have gotten poisoned;;;

[‘SoMuchMoney’ donated 100,000 won!]

– Hey Go, stop talking nonsense and turn on the game you got as a gift last time

[‘DogThatBarksAtBoringBroadcasts’ donated 10,000 won!]

– Woof woof grrr meow meow!!!!!

“No, it’s true! A pink-haired, tanned woman suddenly came and said that… I’m just stating the facts…”

Go-deok even teared up. He seemed quite frustrated.

“Anyway, who am I? I’m Go-jeon-deok-hu, whose solo experience is almost his entire life. There’s no way a woman would come running to me like that. I realized it was a trick to steal my kidney and kicked her out right away.”

– Luckily, he still had that much judgment

– It still sounds like a dream…….

– Okay, Go-deok… thank you so much for turning on the broadcast even though you’re so sick…….

– ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Go-deok has gone crazy from his long solitary life

– Okay, okay, so we just have to go to the next fan meeting with pink hair and a tan, right, bro?

– Pink-tanned army assemble wow

Since no one believed his story and the atmosphere was cold, Go-jeon-deok-hu gave up on telling the story.

‘Did I really see things…?’

To be honest, it was a ridiculous story even for him.

Maybe it’s just his imagination, but he keeps seeing a glimpse of pink hair around him… yeah, it must be a delusion…….

After that, Go-jeon-deok-hu and the viewers talked about the strategy broadcast.

Although it ended abruptly when Go-jeon-deok-hu collapsed at the end, he was the first in the world to clear the difficulty that no one had been able to clear since its release. It was something worth celebrating.

A recap broadcast looking back on the past six months of strategy was belatedly started. Go-jeon-deok-hu went to his video channel and looked at the long record from the beginning.

From the 1st Empire to the 742nd Empire.

The traces of the long battle remained intact.

A donation notification suddenly came to Go-jeon-deok-hu, who was organizing his memories of the past six months.

Ding!

[‘MissionFairy’ donated 10,000 won!]

– But are you really going to donate all the donation revenue to the pediatric cancer foundation?

This was something he had announced in a community post to let people know he was safe after being in the hospital.

He would donate all the donation revenue he received while playing to the pediatric cancer foundation. He had already written a pledge six months ago.

Go-jeon-deok-hu nodded readily.

“Yes. I will donate it as soon as the donation revenue for this month is settled.”

The viewers seemed a little taken aback.

– It’s a good thing, but why all of a sudden……?

– Hey, Go, buy some clothes with that money

– True lol, it’s always a hoodie and shorts or a t-shirt and jeans

– There are many other things you need besides clothes, right?

– We gave you money to use for your own selfish desires!!!

– We donated so that the poor dude could buy food, and you’re donating it?

“Hey, I have a lot of money coming into my pocket besides the donation revenue. You don’t have to worry.”

– No, we’re not worried about you, we’re worried about the money we gave you lol;

– True lol

– True lol lol

“You gave it to me to use as I please, right? So, I’ll use it as I please.”

Go-jeon-deok-hu didn’t bring up the story of why he decided to donate to the pediatric cancer foundation.

“The reason I decided to donate… I’ll tell you next time.”

The viewers also noticed that Go-jeon-deok-hu was hesitant to bring up the story, and they didn’t ask any further.

“…….”

Go-jeon-deok-hu closed his lips with a bitter expression.

Before starting the last broadcast.

He received a text message from the child’s parents.

It was a message saying that they would let the child go in 24 hours. It also said that they would contact him when the funeral home was set up.

But Go-jeon-deok-hu fainted at the end of the last broadcast, and when he woke up a few days later, he no longer had any contact from the child’s parents.

There were a few missed call records, but now Go-jeon-deok-hu was too afraid to contact them first.

If the child had died, the funeral would have already been over, and he didn’t want to stir up the pain of the parents who had lost their child.

Perhaps this donation was just a belated regret for not being able to send words of encouragement to the child in time.

‘Actually, I knew from the beginning.’

Go-jeon-deok-hu looked at the light of the monitor in front of him with blurry eyes.

‘There’s no way a miracle would happen and the child would get up just because I cleared a game.’

He knew it well.

He had just done what he could do.

Because the way he and the child had communicated over the past time was through game broadcasts. He was a broadcaster, and the child was a viewer.

Even if it seemed ridiculous to others, the two were clearly connected by this.

“…….”

Go-jeon-deok-hu’s fist clenched tightly.

But.

Even if it was too late.

Even if he couldn’t send his words in time, even if he couldn’t see the child off on time.

Shouldn’t he at least convey his feelings properly?

Go-jeon-deok-hu closed his eyes tightly and then opened them straight.

“Everyone, just a moment.”

Go-jeon-deok-hu, having composed himself, grabbed his phone and tried to get up from his seat.

“I have a place I need to contact for a moment.”

As Go-jeon-deok-hu was looking for the child’s parents’ names in his address book, he got up from his seat.

That’s when it happened.

– Bro!

In the broadcast chat, amidst the flood of countless messages.

A single line of message – clearly entered Go-jeon-deok-hu’s eyes.

– It’s been a while, bro!

“…….”

Go-jeon-deok-hu rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.

He wondered if he was seeing things.

But he wasn’t.

– I heard you were hospitalized? Are you feeling better?

– I had a successful surgery! lol I slept for a long time, but I’m recovering well now!

– While I was sleeping, you cleared the hellish ‘Protect the Empire’, bro? You’re amazing

“…….”

Go-jeon-deok-hu, who was staring blankly at the chat, unable to believe it, saw the child’s next message displayed.

– Oh right, I have to pay for a donation to see the message now. Just a moment!

“No.”

Go-jeon-deok-hu said in a trembling voice.

“You don’t have to donate. I’m seeing it now.”

Tears welled up in his eyes.

“Thank you.”

Go-jeon-deok-hu said in a sobbing voice, quickly wiping his eyes.

“Thank you for coming back……”

Unable to hold back, Go-jeon-deok-hu burst into tears.

He sat down on the chair and cried for a long time, covering his red face. The bewildered viewers tried to comfort him.

– What’s going on???

– Is Go-deok crying?

– Why is he crying all of a sudden;;;

– Sorry, we were wrong ㅜㅜ We won’t tease you anymore ㅜㅜ

– Is this a clip-worthy moment?

– He’s crying, give him financial treatment quickly!!!

– Hey Go, wipe your snot, it’s ugly!

In front of the surprised and bewildered viewers, Go-jeon-deok-hu cried so freely.

This must be a coincidence.

There was no connection between him clearing the most difficult game in the world and the child’s own will to live and get up.

But at the moment when a wish he had given up on came true.

He was more grateful than ever that he had been broadcasting games.

“Thank you for living.”

Go-jeon-deok-hu smiled, wiping his messy face with his sleeve.

“Thank you for coming back to watch my broadcast.”

The other person’s face cannot be seen.

All that can be seen in the chat is countless messages. He is never directly connected to the person beyond that.

However, so clearly.

They are connected.

“Thank you. Really……”

Believing that, Go-jeon-deok-hu smiled brightly.

And perhaps, on the other side of the screen…….

The child also smiled brightly back.
