CD Out Gallery, a community where various types of people gather—normal people, trolls, unemployed, and so on.
Inside, they were calling out for Ret and one user.
[Breaking News) Streamer Ret Selected for National Diving Team]
(Ret looking like he lost his country after being demoted to Diamond 2 tier.jpg)
Idiot lololololol
— lololololol
— But losing that game was pretty legendary lol
ㄴ Why?
ㄴ Comment author: Watch the replay by going back 32 minutes from the end of the video. It’s funny as hell lol
ㄴ OK
[Wasn’t that throwing?]
I’m someone who watched the replay
Isn’t YongYongLion throwing?
He doesn’t participate in team fights and just keeps headbutting?
— Ah, he has a cat allergy lol
— The one throwing is your master who picked that garbage cat
ㄴ Author: Shut up, idiot
ㄴ Triggered?
[But those mechanics seem insane]

At this level, isn’t this a pro player playing on a hidden alt account to relieve stress?
— Would a pro do something like that? Think before you speak, idiot
ㄴ Author: Then does it make sense for someone with that skill not to be a pro? You absolute moron
ㄴ No matter what, would a pro throw in a streamer’s game? They could end up being immortalized on Namuwiki lol
— But those mechanics are really insane..
ㄴ Author: True
[I found out why Ret lost]
(Photoshopped image of Yuumi’s portrait with the corners of her mouth ripped into a smile.jpg)
It’s because of this bastard lol
When you search YongYongLion’s stats, his win rate is 93%
Now it dropped to 90%
Just looking at how a Diamond 4 matches with Diamond 1 after 31 games, you can see his MMR is high, but putting that aside
I looked at the 3 games he lost, including the one with Ret
Support: Lulu
Support: Soraka
Support: Yuumi (Ret)
F*ck lol he loses immediately when matched with support/heal champs. Looking at all his other games, they’re all with engage supports and tanks
— Really?
ㄴ Author: Yeah, just looking at the win rate it’s clear he’s not throwing, but I was curious why he did that and that’s all I found
— LMAO is he crazy?
ㄴ Supports deserve to lose.
ㄴ Stfu you parasitic piece of shit
— This is literally the Parasites vs Tools Gold Cup lol
[Breaking News) Ret spotted playing ranked]
Meanwhile he lost 1 game and now matched with YongYongLion on the enemy team in the current game lololol
— Really? lol
ㄴ Going to spectate right now
— Ah I should’ve ordered chicken! This looks so entertaining
— Ret, if you see this post, turn on your stream! (25 minutes ago)
ㄴ He really turned it on lol (2 minutes ago)
ㄴ This guy knows when it’s time to stream lololol (3 seconds ago)
♦♦♦
Ret’s Stream ON
[Met as Enemies]
— Look at that stream title lololol
— Nice, he knows when it’s time to stream!
— How many consecutive losses if he loses this game?
— He played one game before streaming and lost, so now it’s 7 consecutive losses, if he loses this one it’ll be 8 lol
— Let’s go all the way to D3~~
“Sigh. Fck, I was planning to quit ranked, but that motherfcker YongYongLion is the root of all evil”
User OO donated 1000 won.
[But I think you picking Yuumi as the last pick is also a problem.]
“Yuumi as the last pick is also a problem? Problem? Pro-bleeem!?!?? Get out, you piece of sh*t”
— Ah, our passionate streamer…
— Time for a paid ban~
— lol this streamer will ban you if you pay money.
— He kicks people out if they speak the truth but hurt his feelings, sheesh
— That’s Ret’s charm lol at times like this, you must either hide or lick him until he’s brown to survive
“No, this game is winnable but why is YongYongLion top lane?”
— He’s originally a top laner
— He got role swapped to ADC lol
“Fck, some people get swapped from ADC to support, but that bastard got swapped from top to ADC? This is rigged. Fck, I’m definitely winning this game..”
Ret’sFootwiper(Support): I came to help because I felt sorry for this game.
“Yeah, yeah. With Footwiper, we can’t lose, we’re an invincible bot duo, right?”
— Wow lol now even illegal duo queue lol
— So petty, tsk
— It’ll be legendary if they still lose lol
— Footwiper sniping ranked games is legendary lololol
“This is no time to be picky. I’m definitely going to beat YongYongLion. Really. I’ll try-hard this game”
After saying he would try-hard, Ret successfully destroyed the enemy bottom lane, perhaps thanks to the power of his illegal duo.
Just looking at his KDA, 6/1/3. His merciless bombardment, having completed one and a half core items in just 13 minutes, was invading the mid lane and it seemed like the game was about to be completely destroyed, but the sound coming from above,
It would have been perfect if it was good news,
《An enemy is on a rampage.》
Not “has slain” but “on a rampage” – bad news.
The moment he saw his teammates’ KDAs, he wondered if his eyes were wrong, so he blinked and looked at the KDAs again
Ret’s Team TOP: 0/9/0
YongYongLion: 11/0/3
The top lane, which had rapidly tilted after giving a double kill to YongYongLion early on, was now being pushed like a highway.

《Double Kill》
《Triple Kill!》
Mmm. This feeling. This is why I can’t quit using a sword
After dinner, Ara did some light exercise to aid digestion, then returned to her capsule and was playing 《Match of Legends》 after logging in.
After returning to Earth, all she did was school, gaming, kendo, school, gaming, kendo – she was spending most of her time inside the capsule except for school and the kendo hall.
When she first returned to Earth from the otherworld, she spent a year in peace with her mind at ease as there were no threatening enemies or noble bastards and princes targeting her body. But perhaps because she had spent 34 years doing nothing but fighting.
She felt that kendo alone could not satisfy her desires, so she began to do other exercises to fulfill those desires.
Boxing, judo, systema, muay thai. However, exercises done with bare hands didn’t have the same charm as kendo, and perhaps because she would definitely win no matter what, they quickly became boring and she couldn’t do them for long.
Well, every instructor she met told her that she could become a national representative! But she thought that fighting for the country during her time in the otherworld was enough, so she quickly refused.
And after going round and round, she found VR virtual reality games.
What used to be PC online games on the original Earth had changed to capsules, and virtual reality was added to online games.
She wasn’t originally interested in games, but after seeing characters using swords in 《MoL》 and other games on VTube, her interest was piqued and she started gaming.
When she first entered virtual reality and played normal games in 《MoL》 with the same headfirst approach she always used in the otherworld, she felt discomfort in movement compared to her real body, and after a series of losses, she learned about the correction level.
The default correction level was set at 50.
The correction level is something that helps the user’s body move in virtual reality, and when she learned about this function and lowered the correction level to 0 and played the game.
Yes, it was a whole new world..
That’s right. She had been experiencing results that didn’t suit her—defeat—because she couldn’t utilize her abilities in the game due to the shackles of the correction level.
As her body movements in virtual reality became exactly like her real body movements, or even better, from the moment she could play ranked games, she mercilessly bombarded opponents she met in ranked.
However, what she hated most was
‘Doing nothing and leeching from behind.’ In other words, referring to supports, which to her were unacceptable existences because she was sick of the nobles in the otherworld who just sat back, sucked their thumbs, and collected sweet fruits while making money off wars.
Because she had the fixed idea that supports and nobles were the same garbage except for their status differences. So whenever she met a support, rather than wanting to win the game, she would just headbutt with thoughts like “What should I eat today?” leading the game to defeat.
Well. That’s roughly how she started gaming and now she should focus.
‘Bottom lane is pushed a lot, but it will take time to recover.. Mid has grown decently. Jungle is fine..’
After returning to base and buying items, she assessed the overall situation and started typing in chat.
YongYongLion: Jungle, you don’t need to jungle, can you stay between mid and bottom all the time?
If an ordinary user had given orders to the jungler, they would either agree or tell them to get lost, but,
To her request, having proven her skill in the game and put a leash on the jungler,
Jungler: Yes!
The jungler agreed without question
YongYongLion: Mid and Bottom, please just poke from a distance away from the tower in lanes where enemies roam. It’s okay if towers fall, just don’t die
She simply told mid and bottom not to die, and they immediately agreed. They didn’t feel guilty about the mess they made (normal), but they could feel Ara’s intention to help win the game through her chat
Ara gave orders, mid and bottom didn’t die, and the jungler, even though falling behind the enemy in growth, funneled growth to mid and ADC.
At that point, Ara was steadily pushing the highway in top lane and cutting down everyone who came, completely destroying the top lane by breaking through to the inhibitor. And while a normal user would push just the inhibitor and then switch to bottom to break through,
Ara consistently pressured the enemy near the inhibitor and held on without dying, and during that time, bottom recovered their growth and the well-fed mid joined Ara for the final team fight, ending with victory and destroying the enemy nexus.
“Whew.”
Ara let out a deep breath as she enjoyed the victory. The reason she plays this game might be because, even though the result is the same, the process of killing opponents is too much fun.
Hmm… is she just playing because she wants to kill opponents…
Anyway, users started typing in chat to Ara, who carried the game.
Kangkang(Jungle): Wow, thanks for the carry, YongYong-nim!
MidBooB(Mid): Thank you for your hard work, YongYong-nim
M24망(ADC): Thanks for the carry, sir!
(UsefulTool): Thank you haha
As she received such praise, Ara’s body trembled
‘Heheh’
While letting out a silly laugh
YongYongLion: Good job everyone.
With this polite and dignified response that was different from the expression she was currently making, she exited the results screen.
