I Regressed But The World DidnT Fall Apart

I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 73

Returning to the World without It Falling Apart -73-

073.

“Alright, you may enter.”

Following the staff’s signal, Ido Hyuk took a step forward.

Although it was virtual reality, the stage was decorated like an awards ceremony.

In the center, a trophy was placed.

Considering the scale of the Tworke Rivals, which was not small, they even prepared something like this.

They say they’ll send the physical trophy to his home.

“Alright, the Tworke Rivals tournament champion! We would like to introduce the player who won without dropping a single set in the finals, [Hm, interesting], Ido Hyuk! Hello!”

“Yes. Hello, this is Ido Hyuk.”

As he entered according to the instructions, the first thing he saw was the announcer conducting the winner’s interview, followed by the participants of this tournament.

Swoosh-

Looking around, he saw a few familiar faces.

Starting from the dark girl with a detached expression to Shinjiro with a chubby face.

“······”

And even Lynn, with a slightly furrowed brow, glaring at Ido Hyuk.

He seemed quite displeased during the runner-up interview earlier.

To be precise, it was an interview where yes or no was replaced with short answers, nods, or shakes of the head… Lynn seemed on the verge of exploding in Ido Hyuk’s view.

– Kyaah

– Whoa

– As expected, hyung, I can’t win in this game…

– God Dohyuk! God Dohyuk!

– Lin’s eyes are so cute

– It’s cute how you’re upset about not using the sword hahahaha

The chat window of the official broadcast was prominently displayed in front.

And next to it, the highlights of the previous match were playing.

─ Swish!

It seemed like the organizers had decided that the first set looked better than the second set, as the focus was mainly on Dohyuk and Lin exchanging blows.

“Congratulations on the victory. Player Dohyuk! We should ask for your victory statement first, right? How do you feel about winning?”

“Hmm···”

The announcer’s first question.

Dohyuk hesitated for a moment before responding.

A victory statement… well… was there anything special?

-Hmm..

-Hmm!

-Hmm!!

-Hmm (meaning ‘it was okay’)!

-???

-What?

Dohyuk’s ‘Hmm’ meme was well-known among domestic fighting game users.

While viewers from China and Japan, where it hadn’t spread yet, looked bewildered, the reaction among Korean viewers was explosive.

“..Is that it? I thought.”

-hahahahaha

-Hmm.. Defeating Shinjiro, who defeated the girl in black, who defeated Lin? Is that it?

-For real, if it’s Dohyuk sensei, he might as well win EVO

-Wow, that’s it hahahaha

-The majesty of ‘Hmm’ spreading widely in Asia

Followed by more comments.

Upon hearing that, viewers sent enthusiastic cheers through the chat.

“Yes?”

Of course, such a response could only leave the announcer flustered.

Nevertheless, she was a veteran who had also hosted Iron Fist Pro competitions, so she quickly regained her composure and continued speaking.

“..Ah, you won this tournament, but is your skill only at this level?! You must continue to strive forward! Is that what you’re saying?”

“···?”

-Dream interpretation is better than dreams hahahaha

-That’s why they pay a lot for announcers hahahaha

-hahahaha Dohyuk sensei’s confusion is hilarious hahahaha

-??? : Is this… how it’s taken…?

Ah, this is what Taekwondo is about.

Veteran-like striking!

Even if I go this far, they won’t deny it.

It was the announcer’s turn.

But Ido-hyuk doesn’t know about such things.

“No? It just means the opponents were mediocre.”

“Taekwondo? Softness overcomes strength? It’s just that they weren’t strong enough.”

“hahahaha, how was it, Master Ido?”

“Oh, except for the final match. The final was fun.”

Ido-hyuk nodded his head and said.

Especially fun was the second set of the final match.

Hitting a home run in baseball.

When else would you do it if not now?

Anyway.

The questions kept coming.

Nothing remarkable.

“I heard you don’t have much experience with Iron Fist, but is there a special secret to your victory?”

“Dodge well and hit well, that’s all.”

Just had to honestly answer the questions.

“hahahaha”

“The announcer seems to be getting more flustered.”

“This is Ido-hyuk’s winning secret~”

“But he can’t say it out loud hahahahaha.”

“In the first set of the finals, you defeated Lin by changing to Trevor in a Masamune vs. Masamune mirror match. Was there a reason for switching to Trevor in the second set?”

“Trevor has a good feel.”

As the Q&A continued, the corners of the announcer’s mouth gradually dropped.

“Oh, how do you endure hitting home runs in the final match hahahaha.”

“Seriously hahahaha.”

“Trevor does have a good feel hahahaha.”

But Ido-hyuk wasn’t able to answer every question well.

There were questions in the middle that greatly embarrassed him.

“Even Japanese fans didn’t spare praise for Ido-hyuk’s skills. Comments like ‘Watching Ido-hyuk play is like watching Tsuki’ flooded the chat throughout the game. Do you agree with that, Ido-hyuk?”

“Um, me?”

“hahahaha”

“??? : What? I couldn’t do that?”

“Master Ido looks a bit lost hahahaha.”

It was a winner’s interview that left a lot of fun memories.

**

The next day.

Ding.

[Live broadcast of Lee Dohyuk! : Lee Dohyuk, Arrival]

-Truh

-Doha!!

-Prepared for Doha!

-Kya

-Why now? Why now?

-Let’s see the ratings ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Immediately upon turning on the broadcast after winning the championship yesterday, the number of viewers started to increase rapidly.

“Ah, ah. Can you hear me well?”

Lee Dohyuk is now a seasoned broadcaster.

Naturally starting the broadcast with opening talk, he continued to communicate.

“Thank you for the congratulations on the victory. It wasn’t me who did well, it was Lin. Quite talented, I must say. What is Ji-an doing today since she’s taking a break from the show? Just lying down at home?”

-hahahaha ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Reveal ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-No, revealing is talking about going out for an appointment

-Exactly ㅋㅋㅋ

From Noble mtl dot com

-Staying at home alone is the ideal way to take a break

“If we want to upload the tournament on YouTube from yesterday… Hmm, well. It might take a few days. Doytube is working hard, so please wait a little longer.”

Doytube is the nickname for Lee Dohyuk’s YouTube editor.

Due to the fast upload speed and excellent editing skills, Doytube had a good reputation among the live viewers.

Ding-

[“Jung Sungsu13” has donated 10,000 won.]

-So, what game is it today?

“The game for today is…”.

Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo-

“For now, in Part 1, Iron Fist! I plan to reach 1st place by tomorrow, so today, let’s try to reach the top 100 first.”

-hahahaha, it looks like he’s left it to be 1st place

-Isn’t that what he did?

-Who’s currently 1st in the Asia server?

-hahahaha, it’s Hwang Natol

-Oh, dang, it’s Brother Pontol!

**

The current professional Iron Fist players in Korea didn’t openly say it, but they all shared one common thought.

‘It’s scary to play ranked games these days.’

Because there’s a disaster lurking in the ranked games.

And that disaster, of course, referred to Heumjwa, Lee Dohyuk.

Of course, they didn’t have such thoughts from the beginning.

Professionals who never lose when it comes to competitiveness.

[Are you good at thㅏws? Come follow me in ranked games!]

Avoiding Lee Dohyuk because of such thoughts wasn’t the case; in fact, there were quite a few pros who initially targeted him.

But eventually, they caved in.

Right at the ‘Hm’.

“Hm? Did you just say that person is the best domestically as Xiao Rung? Hm…”

It’s common for anyone to have such a plausible plan.

Until they hit the ‘Hm’.

Sometime during Lee Dohyuk’s rank turnaround, a statement was made.

The rest was omitted, but his viewers knew exactly what was coming next.

– Hm… Xiao Rung of Landu? Is that right?

– hahahaha, even though he switched back to being the main character of Landu, he still got a ‘Hm’.

– hahahaha, I told you not to mess with Landu~

– Honestly, if nobody picks on the crappy characters, who will hear the number one artisan’s name?

– But seriously, the chilling point is that among those who got a ‘Hm’ from Teacher Dohyuk, none of them made it to the top 4 in recent competitions.

And with that, another pro gamer was added to the list of victims.

The pros Lee Dohyuk encountered while climbing the ranks.

Starting from the one who claimed not to be Beyond despite everyone clearly seeing it, Lee Buteo, Muyeongsura, Iris, Landu… (the rest omitted), and many victims(?) of his.

Facing them, Lee Dohyuk showed two distinct reactions.

It was either ‘Hm…’ or ‘Oh…?’

Just looking at the text, one might wonder what it means, but after three days of Lee Dohyuk’s broadcast, one would gradually interpret the meaning behind those exclamations, just like reciting poetry after three years of schooling or turning into a zither monster after three days with Jianshuwa.

‘Hm…’ meant [Hm, is that right?].

‘Oh…?’ meant [You’ve got talent.].

[Today’s Teacher Dohyuk Record: 3 Oh 8 Hm]

– Oh hahahaha, who’s the 3 Oh?

Nakuma, Muyeongsu, ZenZen (not sure who that is)

[List of Pros who received 8 Hms: Gostape, Landu, Rebae…]

With his ‘Hm’ and ‘Oh?’ after matches, Lee Dohyuk inadvertently played the role of a talent evaluator against the pros.

How tense it must be to hear that ‘Oh?’ from Lee Dohyuk, not just for those who are at least B+ grade among the pros, but even among the pros, everyone else was just left hearing ‘Hm…’.

As a result, a ‘Rank Alert’ rang among the Iron Fist pros for a while.

However, after some adaptation to this, gradually, even the Iron Fist pros became accustomed to encountering Lee Dohyuk in the ranks.

Just as they were getting used to it, another Rank Alert was issued.

– Kaang!!

It was all because of this.

“Ugh, ugh!”

Swish!

Lee Dohyuk swung his arm.

The opponent desperately veering off course.

But they couldn’t go back any further.

At this rate, they would soon meet the wall.

Hence, the opponent had no choice but to rush forward.

Raising his arms in guard while extending his legs, Idohyuk aimed at the lower body of his opponent…

Thunk!

Idohyuk lightly deflected the opponent’s kick with the bat handle.

Then, utilizing the rotational force, he swung it around.

Crack!

A clear ringing sound echoed once more.

But it didn’t end there.

Thud!

Another strike.

“Ugh!”

Crack! Thud! Thud!

Idohyuk skillfully dodged the opponent’s guard, precisely targeting only the head.

“Phew.”

[YOU WIN!]

Finally, not long after, the victory announcement popped up.

“Truly, Trevor’s touch is the best.”

– LOL

– Just hitting the head with a smile, huh? LOL

– The sound of ‘thud’ is seriously refreshing LOL

Idohyuk chuckled contently, about to switch cues.

As the victory alert disappeared, a golden notification appeared.

[Promoted to the Prime GOD]

[Mission Success!]

“Oh, finally promoted. I’ll enjoy the rewards… I mean, thank you to those who gave me the mission.”

Rank #98

Prime GOD

[Hmm, is this real]

Idohyuk had reached the top 100 in the Asian server before he knew it.

In other words, it meant countless opponents had their heads smashed countless times.

[Seriously, did Idohyuk really impress Trevor]

(Certified match screenshots) (Certified match screenshots)

Got hit by over 10 headshots yesterday -_-

– LOL how do you endure getting hit with a bat legally

True LOL

– LOL

– Seeing Idohyuk sensei, you seem to be tough too;;

Certified to have met the master Idohyuk

Is it a profile? Who is he?

In a community known for being frequented by numerous past and present Iron Fist pros, countless posts of suffering(?) verifications had surfaced.

Actually, even in the face of the same defeat, losing after a fierce battle and losing by getting your head smashed throughout the game are entirely different feelings.

Because of that, in these past few days, whenever he encountered Trevor as an opponent while ranking up, they were the type of people whose heads were already pounding before the match even began.

Anyway,

“Hmm… Then since I’ve been promoted, let’s call it a day for Iron Fist today…”

With those words, Ido-hyuk ended Iron Fist.

– Kya, finally.

– That’s right.

– DG DG.

– Siege Quest!

– Charge, you home invaders!!

The days leading up to the Tworke Rivals event.

Ido-hyuk had been making significant progress while juggling Balhalla alongside.

Clearing most of the main quests swiftly, with only a few crucial parts left for the conclusion.

However, two days before the tournament, he had been solely focused on Iron Fist.

Consequently, there were quite a few viewers eager for Balhalla gameplay.

Boom.

Ido-hyuk launches Rise of Balhalla.

With a grand background score, the screen transitions.

For the King-!

The point where Ido-hyuk paused the game was right before the crucial Siege Quest in Rise of Balhalla.

The shouts of soldiers and knights could be heard.

Uwoooo-!

Opposite them were Vikings in mismatched attire, unlike the uniformed soldiers.

“Charge, Forguun!”

“It’s a raid!”

The battlefield was filled with the roaring of adversaries calling out to each other.

Amidst this, Ido-hyuk stood.

Shh- Shush-

“Hmm, feeling good today.”

Holding the kitchen knife of May Ajumma.

– Kya, here comes the rose knife hahahaha.

– If Iron Fist has a bat, then Balhalla has a rose knife!

– Seriously, the best combo.

– Ready to complete a kill mission with the rose knife?

Ding-

Ding-

The slaughter began.

**

The next day.

A notice was posted on Ido-hyuk’s Tworke community.

[Today’s broadcast is canceled]

[I’ll get my passport issued and take care of other matters!]

Even in this era of advanced full dives, major events are often held offline.

EVO held in Las Vegas.

With less than two weeks left until the competition, it was necessary to get the passport in advance.

It wasn’t sudden…they announced a break before yesterday’s broadcast.

But facing it again felt different.

Moreover, there were many viewers who hadn’t stayed until the end of the broadcast, expressing regret in the comments.

– Nooo

– What should we do!!!

– Today, I was watching “Into the Forest” and now it’s gone

– There’s nothing to watch;;

– What’s up with “Dark Girl”? Is the show not on?

– I’m “Dark Boy,” the show will be on later

“Dark Girl” said that… Huh? Is this for real?

hahahaha, for real?

hahahaha, next time, come practice if you want to get hit less

You got banned, loser

Yeah, I’m already banned hahahaha

Hey, what about Deal School’s victory?

I’m not a fan, but Deal School looks impressive hahahaha
