Netkama Punch!!!

He finally warped [SeYoung’sHusband] right next to my character and introduced me to the viewers.
“This is Saenyang, who’s going to help me power-level this sub. We’ll be running together from class change all the way to max level.”

Then he let go of my arm and gave a smug grin. Looking me in the eyes, he spoke in an annoyingly playful tone like he was teaching a toddler to talk.
“Saenyang, say hi~.”
“……”

He even made his character use the [Greet] emote like he wanted me to copy him.
When I didn’t, Shin Heejae just kept spamming [Greet] next to my character like an idiot. Watching his antics, I hit the [Heavy Attack] button and slammed it right into [SeYoung’sHusband].
Rot in hell, you streaming psycho.

Even after that, my anger wasn’t remotely satisfied, and I was dead set on ruining whatever nonsense he tried to pull next. But to my horror, the viewers saw it as hilarious.
LIVE Chat
● Guess she really doesn’t wanna say hi lol

● LMAOOOO she’s beating his ass
● LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
● Is that SeYoung?

“Yes. That’s my girlfriend.”
With that, Shin Heejae zoomed in on my character repeatedly pounding his and showed it off to the stream. I took the chance to fire off some messages.
Party Whispers

NSaenyang: Not dating this guy
NSaenyang: Delusional af -_-
Normally, that would be enough to make someone shut up out of pure secondhand embarrassment. But Heejae just smiled knowingly, like he expected it.

“SeYoung’s just a little shy.”
I scratched at my arms to chase off the goosebumps and glared at him. Then I mouthed get lost, but even though he definitely saw me, he took full advantage of the live broadcast and twisted it however he pleased.
“This is just how we show affection.”
I wanted to scream. Luckily, the chat started turning against him.

LIVE Chat
● LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
● “Not dating,” she said

● “Delusional” lmaooo
● LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Viewers began roasting him relentlessly, and I seized the opportunity.

Party Whispers
NSaenyang: Die.
NSaenyang: Fugly piece of trash

LIVE Chat
● LMAO confirmed: girlfriend says Heejae is “ugly”
● Come on, that’s clearly not his girlfriend

● She told him to die, I’m screaming
● Die, loser!
● She looks like she literally hates him

● What happened to “if I turn on cam I hit 1 mil subs”? WHERE’S THE CAM HEH???
I felt like I’d won. I'd nailed it. But then Heejae looked at me. His expression hadn’t changed at all—totally unfazed. That alone made me nervous, and the moment my shoulders twitched, Heejae said with that same smile:
“From now on, every time you tell me to die, I get a kiss.”

He didn’t say that to the viewers. He said it to me. And the second he did, I remembered that kiss from earlier and recoiled, full-body shivers crawling down my spine. The chat blew up with a mix of disgust and laughter, but I couldn’t laugh.
This psycho… doesn’t he realize nearly a thousand people are watching!?
The viewer count had just passed 900. That kind of turnout only happened during siege wars. If I slipped up now, I’d fall into complete ruin—yet it was me getting blackmailed here, not the channel owner Shin Heejae.

My hand shook on the mouse out of sheer frustration, but Heejae shamelessly kept going and sent me a party invite. He handled the stream like a pro.
“First, we’re gonna clear the initial class change. Most people hit 100 first, use the scroll to go to Zhenadia, and then move on to Frome Castle.”
“……”

“But based on my tests, you don’t actually have to hit 100 before Zhenadia. If you gear up for Accuracy, you can go field-hunting straight from level 1. I’ll list off old-school gear sets and doping consumables that make it work.”
He opened a prepared file overlay on the game screen as he spoke.
The file had item names and short commentary written out in detail. I was honestly surprised to see he’d actually prepared for his stream.

So he does work… huh.
He explained everything smoothly, without stumbling. I’d always assumed he was just some smooth-talking clown making easy money, but when he pulled up graphs and pre-measured data to explain his method, it was actually convincing. Easy to understand, even.
Well… no wonder he’s the top Arcadia streamer.

It made me wonder how much data this bastard had gathered on [Arcadia]. And as I listened to his detailed commentary and well-researched presentation, I couldn’t help but admit—just a tiny bit—that this guy wasn’t coasting.
I was a veteran player myself, but a lot of the tips he rattled off about optimizing for Accuracy were new even to me. From titles and scenario buffs to an old event coupon code from 2017—[rebootArcadia2017]—which apparently still worked. I had no idea how he even found that.
I wasn’t the only one impressed. Viewers were too.

LIVE Chat
● Heejae, be honest—do you even have a real ID? Are you just Arcadia incarnate?
● How the hell did he find a 2017 coupon LOL

● Bet the devs are gonna quietly disable it next patch
● God-tier meta
● Wait, with 250 Accuracy you can take down mobs 100 levels above? Even in Frost zones??

“You can’t in Frost. Accuracy builds are garbage there.”
Even with surprise questions flying in, Shin Heejae answered like he had everything pre-mapped in his head.
It showed—this guy wasn’t just playing. He was constantly testing conditions and looking for better clears. He knew his current records were some of the best ever, and he still kept optimizing.

Doesn’t he ever get tired of this?
You can’t reach that level of precision in just a couple days of gaming. And weirdly enough, it wasn’t pathetic. As a fellow gaming junkie, I kinda—ugh—respected him? A little?
[Arcadia] was an old game, with a long history of updates and system changes. Its questlines, skill trees, and legacy gear were all tangled together in a mess, making it a nightmare for newcomers. Even veterans barely understood classes outside their own.

There weren’t even beginner guides like most MMOs had, so unless you were a lifer, you were mostly in the dark.
Come to think of it… he’s really answering everything.
And not just about his own class, [Nightwalker]. He answered questions from other classes too, and even cleared up common misconceptions. His commentary was actually helpful.

…This guy… he actually seems smart for once.
The second that thought crossed my mind, I shut my lips and quickly looked away, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing me impressed.
Still, I kept listening while setting up my own gear. As he explained to the viewers, he sent me some items through trade.

Once we were all set, we entered a level 100+ hunting field—with level 1 characters.
Slash.
Swift Step.

Water Bomb.
[SQUEAAAAAL!]
I hadn’t been sure it’d work, but the monsters were dying fast. And since we were level 1 taking down level 100 mobs, the EXP was off the charts.

Viewers watching the massacre were freaking out.
LIVE Chat
● Whoa LOL

● He skipped class change and it works??
● LOL «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» auction house is sold out of all Accuracy gear
● GAAAHHH every channel in Zhenadia is packed with white panties and bamboo swords

Leveling a sub in [Arcadia] took a long time, especially outside of EXP events. Zhenadia’s outskirts were usually dead. But now, thanks to Heejae's new high-speed leveling method, Zhenadia was overflowing with copycats. Even our field was crowded with players.
Still, Heejae’s signature clean movement let him mob with insane efficiency, even in the chaos. I supported him, and we leveled up at breakneck speed.
It was even faster than when I had maxed out [Sesam]. I felt kinda proud watching it—but Heejae kept his usual bored expression, eyes fixed on the screen.

LIVE Chat
● Sometimes I really think Heejae’s a genius
● fr tho

Then, seeing the praise roll in, Shin Heejae gave me a sidelong glance with a strange expression. He turned back to the screen and said:
“This wasn’t 100% my idea, actually. I worked on it with Yuna.”
