It was Kang Hoo-min.
The same person I had asked about the broadcast setup.
But now, he was walking right into the trap.
This was a bit troublesome.
“Hmmm... Should I kill him or not?”
We had just started to get along, but if I killed him by setting up a trap now, it could ruin our relationship. I was a bit conflicted.
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Just kill him.]
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: What’s the point of getting close to that guy?]
[For real, just kill him.]
[No need to get close to Kang Hoo-min.]
[Kang Hoo-min: Why do these guys hate me so much, lmao.]
[If you're watching streams, it’s impossible to like Kang Hoo-min..]
[Hwan-hee: Kang Hoo-min just has that face.]
[But why does Dam-a always seem to get close to the most unlikable people?]
[The human washing machine, lol.]
Then, a good idea came to me.
Just kill him, but return the items.
This way, I could make the broadcast interesting, and the relationship wouldn’t be ruined.
It seemed like a perfect option.
“...Then, I’ll kill him gently.”
No need to humiliate him, just kill him quickly. I decided to wait for the right moment.
How long had I waited?
He’s not seeing the angle.
Kang Hoo-min had approached.
And then—
Whoosh!
With a sound like the ground collapsing, Kang Hoo-min, who had been walking, fell into the hole.
It happened in an instant.
Aah...!
Kang Hoo-min screamed in surprise, his reaction a bit delayed as he fell.
Even though he was wearing decent armor, I had set the trap so that it would kill him instantly, so I wasn’t worried about him surviving.
A moment later, the notification popped up.
“He’s dead.”
Kang Hoo-min had died.
Now it was time to collect the items.
Of course, I wasn’t planning to take everything.
While talking with Kang Hoo-min, I was planning to split the items with him.
I placed some water and slowly descended into the hole.
“Wow, he had a lot of items.”
Surprisingly, Kang Hoo-min was really serious about Minecraft. He had so many items.
With just these items, I could probably play Minecraft for a while without any problems.
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: So many items, lol.]
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Grab them and run.]
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: He’ll probably come after you.]
[Hwan-hee: Wow, those items look delicious.]
[It doesn’t look like he’s done any recent exchanges? There are some really rare items here.]
[Kang Hoo-min: Breaking news: Kang Hoo-min is so mad, he’s coming after you right now, lol.]
[Oh, Hoo-min, what can you do when you get here, lol.]
[Fact: There’s nothing you can do when Hoo-min gets here.]
“Well, I killed him, but I’ll still give the items back. That’s the right thing to do. If I don’t return the items, it could cause some tension, and that would be my loss.”
If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t care, but with Kang Hoo-min, there was a high chance he’d be upset, so it seemed like the right thing to do.
There was no need to risk making things worse.
With that thought, I set up a chest nearby and placed all of Kang Hoo-min’s items inside.
‘This should prevent any conflict.’
Unless Kang Hoo-min was so angry that he just came over and killed me on the spot, which didn’t seem likely.
How much time had passed?
I looked up, and I saw a very angry Kang Hoo-min running toward me.
Before he could get to me, I decided to explain why I had set up the trap.
“Before you kill me, let me explain. I was setting up a trap to catch other streamers, and you, Kang Hoo-min, who I’m actually pretty close to, ended up falling into it. I’ve placed all your items in a chest, so please calm down and don’t attack me.”
I thought that would be enough to stop him from attacking.
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: That’s actually pretty logical.]
[He’s got a point.]
[It’s a little hard to attack after hearing that, haha.]
[How can anyone attack after that, lol.]
[You’ve returned the items and apologized, so it’s all good.]
A moment later—
Hmm... Then, I’ll just take the items.
It seemed like Kang Hoo-min had calmed down, as he cleared his throat and took the items, about to leave.
Well, he was about to leave, until he got interested in what I was doing.
...By the way, that trap looks fun. Can I watch you set it up?
“Sure, I don’t mind.”
I didn’t mind at all.
As long as he didn’t interfere with what I was doing, I was fine with it.
Surprisingly, Kang Hoo-min joined me, and after a short while—
Thud thud.
I heard footsteps.
It wasn’t the sound of someone walking close to me, but I saw an ID approaching from a distance.
Just as I was thinking that—
If we wait here, it feels like we can quickly grab the items and run.
“Ah, yeah. That’s the feeling.”
Oh...
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Why does he sound so interested in this?]
[It’s pretty interesting, haha.]
[In a peaceful server, stealing items from someone by killing them, doesn’t that sound exciting? Lol.]
[Kang Hoo-min: But I’m curious about something.]
[Kang Hoo-min: What happens if someone catches us after we kill and run?]
[Hwan-hee: Why are you curious about that?]
[Hwan-hee: Just kill everyone who saw it.]
[Hwan-hee: If no one sees it, they won’t know...]
[Ah.]
[The logic is real, haha.]
[Innocent purity, Kang Pyeong, lol.]
[That innocence... I just want to cover it with darkness, hehe...]
A moment later—
Huh?
With that short exclamation, a streamer I had never seen before fell into the trap.
I immediately went over to the hole to collect the items.
“Hmm, this isn’t good.”
Yeah, it isn’t.
“Let’s move to a different spot and look for the next target.”
Good idea.
And just like that, I ended up hunting streamers unintentionally, with Kang Hoo-min.
After about three days—
“...Why do I have a bounty on my head?”
I found out I had a bounty on me.
And it was a pretty high amount.
“Even if it’s for a game, a million KRW is a lot. How did I end up with such a big bounty?”
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: Well, you’ve been going around massacring people.]
[But the streamers who took your items when you died are an issue.]
[This guy is really trying to become the most hated person, lmao.]
[At least you killed them fairly, drink up.]
[Kang Hoo-min: But the important thing is...]
[Kang Hoo-min: It’s not just you who has a bounty.]
[For real, lol.]
[Everyone’s got a bounty now, drink up.]
It wasn’t just me who had the bounty.
Other people around me also had bounties on them.
Me, Sarok, Mangming, Harin, Kang Hoo-min.
All five of us had bounties on our heads.
Originally, I was going to do this alone, but somehow, we all ended up digging together... and now this is where we are.
“I feel like I’ve become the leader of an organization. Wait, no way, right?”
I really didn’t want to be the leader of an organization.
[🗡️All-Knowing Cthulhu: The disaster twins, lol.]
[How are all your faces this bad?]
[Dam-a used to be normal, but now he’s the most abnormal.]
[I can’t believe I’m leaving a reputation like this among other streamers on Twich, lol.]
[But seriously, what if, after thinking about it, we leave Dam-a out and do a group stream?]
[Kang Hoo-min: Fact: No streamer, including Dam-a, is going to do a group stream.]
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
[Ah.]
[Self-imposed outsider, lol.]
I checked the other people around me.
Sarok, Mangming, Harin, Kang Hoo-min.
“Ugh.”
I couldn’t help but sigh.
How did the list of streamers around me end up looking so intense?
If someone who didn’t know the full situation saw us, they’d probably think we were all troublemakers.
I just hoped people wouldn’t see me as the problem. With that thought, I started moving slowly.
I had to find the next target.
But then—
Boom!
[You have died.]
I suddenly died on the spot.
I hadn’t done anything.
That meant—
“Woah.”
It meant a 500,000 KRW donation had been made.
This was the first time I had received such a large donation, and I was so surprised.
I couldn’t believe I had received such a large amount of money.
“Whoever donated 500,000 KRW, I don’t know who you are, but thank you!”
Although it wouldn’t be visible in the broadcast, I stood up and bowed in gratitude.
This wasn’t just a small amount, so I thought it was definitely worth a big thank you.
As I thought that, I checked the donor's nickname.
“Eh?”
I saw a very familiar name.
It was none other than—
[Fine]
Fine was the one who donated.
500,000 KRW, no less.
I was so surprised.
Of course, I knew Fine, but we weren’t close enough for him to donate such a large amount of money.
“Fine, uh... how did this happen?”
I asked carefully, and received a reply in whisper.
[Fine: Well...]
[Fine: There’s a bit of a long story behind it.]
With that, my curiosity grew even more. What could the reason possibly be?
