of Pure Water (2)

Personal streaming platform, serengeti TV.

This was also the platform where 'Shoulder,' the living legend and peak user of Metal Punch, streamed.

"Thought it was the merchant guild, but turns out it's mid-tier, huh?"

As usual, he was enjoying ranked matches in Metal Punch.

"Low, low, low. And right here, break with mid."

With his relaxed tone, his opponent's stamina bar quickly vanished. The result was decided immediately after.

[K. O.]

Shoulder lightly whistled as he made his comment.

"Ah, that was so much fun. Still, if you want to get to Omega, you should practice a bit more."

― Seriously LOL so nasty LOL

― Went through hell to get here, won't even give 1 round LOL

― Isn't it only fair to throw 1 round? LOL

― Omega gatekeeper level LOL

― Please, just open the door for us ㅠㅠ

This opponent was at their promotion match to reach 'Omega,' the highest rank in Metal Punch. However, the gatekeeper was simply too strong to let anyone through.

"I know how much work you put in, but how can I go easy on you?"

Shoulder replied slyly to the viewers' playful criticism.

"Come on, you all know the drill. In the fighting game scene, skill is everything. How can I ignore openings? It's not even like I want to do this. But someone has to."

Soon, he started to grumble, half joking and half serious.

"Also, I need to enjoy myself too. It's not easy to even get a match at this level, you know? When the opportunity comes, I should play around a little."

― I mean, that's also true LOL

― Not that many fighting gamers get to face you LOL

― Not many even in Japan or Korea, right? LOL

― Because Shoulder is truly world-class, he can't play much because of time zones LOL

― Honestly, he's probably waiting for someone to beat him so they can play again

― Right, then they'd get to play some games together

Shoulder was at too high a rank for easy matchmaking. Unless he deliberately lost to lower his rank—a practice called 'losing on purpose'—matches didn't come easily.

Of course, he had no intention of doing such a thing and, as the face of Metal Punch, he wouldn't dare abuse the system in that way.

"Ah, is no one else hosting events today—like Smurf, or are Daedam or Mom Queen streaming?"

― Trying to leech off another event again, I see!

― LOL who can resist free giveaways!

― You made Daedam ragequit last time and now you're looking for them again?

― So persistent, seriously LOL

With such a small fighting game community, streamers were close. Shoulder would often jump into other streamers' channels for content.

That's when he was trying to check on the situation with other Metal Punch streamers.

['BigNewbieAppears' has gifted 100 Star Drops!]

[Hyung! Someone insanely good just started Metal Punch!]

Each Star Drop worth 100 won, a total donation of 10,000 won, and the message made him widen his eyes.

"A rookie!? Who? Who is it!? Name, quick! You know you'll get banned for trolling me, right?"

He responded with genuine excitement. Normally, mentioning other streamers was discouraged, but those related to Metal Punch were exceptions.

When it came to wins and losses, he was strict, but regarding the fighting game scene, he was easygoing.

― LOL that person?

― You mean that MaxLevelNewbie? LOL

― But actually, they really are good LOL

― Can't really call them a real newbie, honestly

Reading the chat, shoulder realized this donation wasn't a lie.

"Who is it? Why won't you tell me their name? Afraid it'll cause trouble? Look, this isn't the first time I've checked out new players. I won't show them on screen, just want to see."

His impatience amused the chat, but it wasn't as though the viewers were deliberately hiding it.

― But they don't stream on Serengeti

― Still, can't you at least mention the name?

― It's fine as long as you don't mention the platform

― Purple just started Metal Punch

― LOL right to the point LOL

With these messages, shoulder quickly understood.

"Purple? That hot Purple just started Metal Punch?!"

Shoulder, who had only ever focused on Metal Punch, had still heard Purple's name. That's why he felt even more regretful.

"Wow, they must be really good... But I can't even watch."

Shoulder was a partner streamer with Serengeti TV. He couldn't mention other platforms—especially their biggest rival, tri.

"Purple is a partner over there, right? Ha..."

Conversely, Purple was a Tri partner streamer and had little interest in Serengeti TV.

So, while smacking his lips in disappointment, shoulder asked his viewers,

"So, how are they doing? Are they getting into it?"

Even if the platforms were different, having an influencer of that caliber joining the scene was good news.

As he showed his curiosity, the chat quickly replied.

― Probably been about an hour?

― Yeah, that's about right

― But their play is not just 1 hour-level LOL

"Ah, been only an hour?"

Shoulder's eyes darted. Drawing from experience, he tried to guess Purple's progress.

"If they finished the tutorial, decided on their main ahead of time, they'd still need some practice. If they went straight to ranked, about 5th tier? Around that?"

Then, he shook his head.

"No, that's not right. With Purple's physicality, must've climbed faster. Probably around 10th tier. Right?"

The chat exploded with laughter.

― Wow LOL Even for Shoulder, predicting Purple's skill is impossible

― But that's actually pretty close—kinda creepy LOL

― Purple finished the tutorial in one try LOL

― No main, just picked a random character and jumped right into ranked LOL

When the viewers reported this, shoulder's eyes widened.

"Straight into ranked, no practice? Judging by how it sounds, might already be above 10th tier... Could Purple really clear the newbie village in just an hour?"

― Yeah, broke through green tier and reached yellow

― Even Shoulder couldn't believe it, but it's true!

― But it actually happened

― How does that work?

― Yo, it's your first time seeing a max-level newbie, huh?

― That's an insane speed LOL

The viewers gave him the scoop.

When a player's rank rises, a badge is displayed before their username; Metal Punch users refer to those up to green tier—11th tier—as newbies.

"Is that even possible?"

Shoulder, who prided himself on knowing all there was about Korean Metal Punch, couldn't believe this abnormal speed.

But his doubt wasn't about Purple's skill.

"It's that easy to get matched up in our country?"

― Nope, from the start, just matching over on the Asia server

― Now they're steamrolling Japanese newbies for a rocket climb LOL

― The insane part is, each round is over in under 30 seconds LOL

― Streak bonus is so sweet, isn't it?

Shoulder snorted with laughter as he read the chat.

"30 seconds per round? Dang, that means they won every match by perfect, right? Tell me I'm wrong?"

It was phrased as a question, but he already knew the answer. There was no reason for the chat to lie about this.

Without waiting for their reply, shoulder gasped.

"Wow... So this is the famous physicality everyone talks about. No wonder they're so popular."

His surprise soon turned to fighting spirit. What made him a top fighting gamer was his ceaseless craving for matches with the strongest.

"Please, please! I hope Purple really gets into Metal Punch. With that skill, omega is just around the corner...!"

As he pressed his palms together like in prayer, the audience roared.

― LOL Stop wishing and go yourself LOL

― Seriously, just get a VIP pass and make an alt!

― One match against Purple worth 10 million won? That might actually be cheap!

The only way to face lower-tiers without abuse was to buy a 'VIP pass' that allows an extra account.

Shoulder chuckled ruefully.

"VIP? Come on, I only scrape together enough with Serengeti's help to host a Metal Punch tournament. If I had that much money, I'd use it for the prize pool."

Despite his legendary status, the fighting game scene wasn't all that lucrative.

Still, his attachment to Metal Punch was special, so he'd often co-host tournaments with Serengeti TV at his own expense.

― But you always win the prize money back!

― Shoulder Metal Punch tournament, winner: Shoulder!

― He's the host, commentator, and player—our hyung LOL

― Still, since he has to pay the runner-up, it's stressful LOL

Shoulder coughed and waved his hand dismissively at the teasing.

"Anyway, that's enough! By the way, if they've reached yellow, that's when the real game starts."

He narrowed his eyes, thinking.

"Yellow tier's skill level is one thing, but it's a tough section in another way."

Why do people lose interest and quit fighting games?

And it's not just the skill gap.

"I really hope they make it through."

Shoulder sincerely cheered for Purple.

* * *

Lee Gyeongbok entered a command just as his opponent bounced off the wall.

With a heavy thud, Kang Neoul, whom he controlled, performed a spinning back kick like a whirlpool.

― Damn LOL landed exactly right!

― The impact sound is insane LOL

― That's K-martial arts!

The opponent's torso sank deeply with a footprint, only to crash into the wall again—their stamina bar was depleted completely.

The viewers were about to celebrate the victory when—

[Connection Error]

[Waiting for opponent to reconnect.]

Suddenly, a system message changed the mood.

"Ah..."

With Lee Gyeongbok's sigh, the chat exploded.

― HEY!!!!!!!!!

― Ah f*ck!

― Are you serious

― Three ragequits in a row? This is too much

― Yellow tier quality is so bad LOL

― Is this pee water?

― LOL they were so scared of Godple's skill they peed themselves LOL

― Is this a game or what!

It was what's called a 'ragequit,' where, before the outcome is decided, the player intentionally disconnects from the internet. This kind of abuse leaves no loss on record.

Naturally, the opponent did not reconnect, and Lee Gyeongbok was returned to the lobby.

― Something felt off ever since they had a win streak

― Right? Their win streak was fishy, and they were a mess

― Seriously, is it that great to keep a win streak via ragequitting?

― You'll just get demoted right away anyway, why bother

― Can't understand that mentality LOL

― At least, since it's Godple matches go quickly

― If it was anyone else, I wouldn't want to watch

As even the last hope faded, viewers vented their frustration, and Lee Gyeongbok felt bitter as well.

"I knew fighting gamers were competitive, but I didn't expect this many players like that."

― Really, there are reasons newbies quit fighting games

― Put in all that effort and you get ragequit? No fun at all

― At least if they're a Korean user, we could publicly shame the account

― Why don't they just make it so results register as soon as health hits zero, regardless of connection? Why no patch?

Normally, Lee Gyeongbok would calm the viewers down, but even he was irritated by this.

"It's just disappointing. Honestly, you can't improve like this. Leaving yourself an escape instead of accepting defeat? You can only play half-heartedly."

Surprisingly, the chat greeted his complaint with laughter rather than anger.

― It's true, but hyung saying it is a bit LOL

― I mean, how would you know about losing?

-'You only improve by accepting defeat'—from a guy with ZERO losses

― He doesn't need to improve anymore, which is why he never loses

― LOL, it's a problem of sequence

― Perfect knowledge increased!

― Feels better after taking some Purple confidence

Lee Gyeongbok chuckled at their reactions.

'You're all so cute. Thanks, I feel a bit better.'

The mood lightened, but the core issue remained.

'Honestly, I could avoid these players easily...'

Spotting "ragequitters" wasn't difficult for him. Even this last opponent gave off bad vibes from character select.

But he still matched with them for one reason.

'I can't explain it to the viewers.'

Canceling a match for no apparent reason would make it look like he was running away.

While he was pondering, a new match was made.

'Four in a row.'

He sighed inwardly. This opponent also felt wrong.

― Please, let this match be clean!

― If there's another ragequit, it's justified to ragequit the stream too

― You brave soul! Are you ready to take responsibility for Purple withdrawal?

― Let's be real, you'd just play a different game if you end stream

-'Well, that was fun' LOL

― Metal Punch: 1-hour speedrun LOL

The audience was laughing, but accumulating stress.

'I can't just end streaming like this.'

Lee Gyeongbok watched the ticking selection timer and organized his thoughts.

He picked Kang Neoul again, then made a decision.

-?

― Hyung?

― What? Out of nowhere?

― Is this a perfect fakeout?

― Why suddenly Philip?

Just before the timer ended, he switched characters.

"I'm preparing for ragequitting opponents."

The character he chose was the one-shot kill expert, philip Firebird.

Even after his explanation, the chat was full of question marks. How would choosing Philip Firebird deter ragequitters?

― Yellow tier, isn't picking a new character risky?

― Why suddenly headbutt the pavement blindly?

― But if it's a 'Perfect-headbutt' it's different?

― Look, godple does everything right!

― He'll figure something out! Just wait and see!

During this flurry, the fight announcement echoed out.

'The basics are the same.'

Even though it was his first time with the character, Lee Gyeongbok moved without hesitation. He dodged his opponent's attack and entered a string of commands.

His fist slammed down like a hammer; the opponent's body was bent down, then swept for a throw—sending them airborne.

― A combo right away!?

― Insane, insane

― The Iron Mountain Backbreaker timing is perfect LOL

― Not yet, not yet, you can't get down yet~

― Weak attack! Weak attack!

― The opponent must be fuming LOL

As Lee Gyeongbok ate away at his opponent's stamina with air combos, the viewers cheered.

But maybe since it was his first time with this character...

― Only got half their health, though

― But he definitely forced the pace, that's for sure LOL

― The opponent's already mentally broken, probably

― But half health is still, you never know!

― They might get desperate and come at you even harder LOL

Compared to the previous game, the combo ended with less accomplishment.

That's what everyone thought.

But that was exactly what Lee Gyeongbok intended.

'Now.'

With focus, his divine energy conveyed even the smallest muscular movements of his opponent's character.

The hands pushing up from the floor, the weight shifting forward, and the muscles curling in.

Gathered info produced an immediate result.

Pretending to step back, Lee Gyeongbok entered another command.

"Owa!"

As the opponent tried to roll forward to stand up, they couldn't even straighten their waist. With Philip Firebird's energized shout, his punch hit dead on.

With a resounding explosion, half the remaining stamina was wiped out in an instant.

[PERFECT!]

Gold letters flashed, and a moment later, another message followed.

[Connection Error]

[Waiting for opponent to reconnect.]

Now, the viewers understood Lee Gyeongbok's countermeasure.

― LOL

― Ragequitter, you were too late, huh?

― Too bad, perfect came up before you could quit~^^

― Taking control not just of guard timing but also ragequit timing LOL

― If you still had half health, you wouldn't think to ragequit yet LOL

Ragequitters don't try to avoid losses—they simply aren't willing to give up the chance to win.

If there's a possibility for a comeback, they won't leave the game.

That's why Lee Gyeongbok chose a character like Philip Firebird, who could deal massive damage at once, to exploit their psychology.

"I'll continue my promotion with Kang Neoul and Philip Firebird from now on."

Returning to the lobby, Lee Gyeongbok's words made the viewers laugh harder.

― Go ahead and ragequit if you can now LOL

― Fighting game mind games, but this is a whole new type LOL

-'Should I ragequit now? Is there still a chance?'

― Ragequitter mind games, seriously LOL

― As expected, godple's channel is the best

― Thrilling! Always fresh! Godple is the best!

Lee Gyeongbok's channel worked wonders as a stress reliever.
