. I want to be alone. Everyone, please leave

On the world-famous streaming platforms, countless individuals began and quit their broadcasting careers every day. Among them, an unusual newcomer started their very first broadcast titled "Real Life Random Box Unboxing."

The title didn't attract much attention initially. After all, the platform was oversaturated with similar content. It was even often referred to as a instead of a red ocean due to its extreme competition. In other words, it was only natural for channels to come and go without anyone even noticing.

However, this situation was different. The server crashed due to the overwhelming number of viewers, forcing other users to wait to get in. Despite the setback, Davey persisted, knowing that nothing else could captivate real-time attention quite like this.

For as long as he had met the right conditions, he could continuously open the random box that the Malicious Spirit Meses had dropped. However, the conditions were far from simple.

“Well, I’m sure most of you have guessed what this is, but this is exactly what you’re thinking.”

The chat went into a frenzy, almost to the point that it seemed like it was going to shut down the server. Instead of figuring out what to do, Davey requested that Rinne take care of the chat because he didn't have much knowledge about computers, and he also wasn't fond of using them.

“Rinne, hack the server and block the chat.”

His lack of knowledge led him to use unconventional methods. It also seemed like the platform had taken some action, allowing him to have more viewers. But the number of viewers eventually soared into the hundreds of thousands, spanning across various languages—Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, English, French, and many more.

All the viewers had two questions in common: Was this streamer truly the Saint of Tionis? And what was going to come out of the box?

“I don’t know what’s in this random box that Meses dropped. It could be something good or bad,” Davey said calmly as he tapped the box. “But before we open it, let me explain the conditions. To open this damn box, you have to kill one thousand monsters. Amazing, don’t you think?”

Then, with a smile on his face, Davey pointed to the number fifty next to the question mark on the box. “Let’s see… Seems like I can open it fifty times now.”

In other words, it meant that Davey had taken down fifty thousand monsters in that short span of time.

“As you know, there was a monster air attack on the Nakdong River joint defense line, so meeting the numbers wasn’t too difficult. Alright then, let’s get to it.”

“Then do you think I’m fake or something? Of course I’m real,” Davey joked playfully, pinching his cheek.

“Everyone, I don’t know either. That is why I'm unboxing it live. Anyway, the second condition is that the quality of the items increases with public attention. We’ll only know if something good comes out by opening it. If something good does come out and I don’t need it, I’ll do a giveaway. So, keep tuning in.”

While he was explaining, the chat erupted.

As the attention shifted to Aeria, she looked at Davey, seemingly confused. Because of this, he signaled to Rinne, who waved her finger to create a holographic video in the air. As someone from Tionis, specifically the Lyndis Empire, this video translated the situation into her local language.

She initially went blank, but turned red with embarrassment shortly after.

"H-hello… I am Aeria El Lyndis, princess of the Lyndis Empire,” she introduced herself, showing the royal confidence within her despite her shyness. But her ears twitched every time she blushed, and this drew more attention to her.

Even politicians and soldiers were on the stream, but the regular viewers enjoyed seeing Aeria, creating a lively response.

A donation message popped up at the same time the notification bell pinged.

"What was that? Who did that?"

Because Davey was oblivious of this whole system of donations, he asked Rinne to block such interruptions.

“Alright everyone, let me briefly introduce her. She’s my future wife.”

“Why wouldn’t I use what god gave me to reproduce? Isn’t it more immoral not to?”

The chat soon flooded with laughing emoticons from the viewers. The foreign viewers were laughing along too, which was quite amusing.

“Anyway, since we’re in that kind of relationship, let’s keep the chat respectful. I trust you all to understand what that means.”

After his light warning, he shifted the camera’s focus to himself. And because he felt like he needed an extra touch, he snapped his fingers, releasing sparkling light powder into the air. Wind spirits then danced around him, creating light green rays.

“How about that? I have to keep it interesting, so here’s a magic show from another world.”

Davey didn’t let the last question pass and answered, “Everyone must be wondering how you’re understanding what I’m saying when I’m from another dimension.”

The chat flooded again with messages of agreement.

“It’s simple,” Davey continued calmly. “Language is a way of communication. Of course, writing is different, but in terms of speaking, it’s similar to how you were tricked by those damn Malicious Spirits into thinking I destroyed Alf Online.”

Davey then snapped his finger lightly and diverted the topic, saying, “Well, enough of that. I know the viewers will get bored, so let’s move on quickly.”

Davey himself didn’t know what was inside the random box. It could be something simple, but there was no way of telling. He was just as curious as the viewers to see what the box imbued with divine power had.

“Alright, let’s open it with the mindset of just dipping our into it.” [1]

“What’s the point of a person suppressing their desires? Well, anything that involves crime is obviously an exception. Aeria,” Davey said, holding out his hand to Aeria.

This made her look up at him with wide eyes and a seemingly confused face.

"Do you… need my help?”

As Davey saw her look up at him like a small, cute animal, he smiled and guided her hand to the question mark on the box.

“Alright. Go ahead and open it.”

“Is it… really okay for me to open it?”

“Yes, it’s okay. Your luck is probably better than mine.”

With a nervous look, Aeria opened the box.

“Here goes nothing!”

A dazzling light burst out with a clear sound. As it faded, the box with its lid open appeared, and floating above it was a strange-looking claw.

“Something came out. Let’s see what it is,” Davey said while narrowing his eyes. “Look at this… We have an Executioner's Claw. It seems like you can create a clone, a shadow partner.”

The moment Davey touched the claw, he read the description that appeared in his mind and equipped the newly obtained item. He then snapped his wrist lightly.

A figure that bore a striking resemblance to Davey materialized beside him, accompanied by several rays of light.

“Raise your right hand.”

At his command, the clone raised its right hand.

“Raise your left hand.”

It then raised its left hand.

“Nice.”

“This is nice,” Davey grinned, flicking the claw again to dismiss the clone. “It’ll be good for working at .”

The chat, which had been somewhat under control, flooded again with messages.

“Banned? Don’t worry. It’s not my account anyway.”

His statement caused the chat to be filled with question marks.

“I have an acquaintance that I recently got some help from, and it’s their account so it doesn’t matter,” Davey said calmly. He figured that as long as he didn’t cross certain lines, he wouldn’t get suddenly banned.“Alright. Anyway, something useful came out. But actually, I don’t need this.”

He then pulled out a couple of hairs and blew on them, creating three or four clones that were even clearer than the one before.

“Because I already have a cloning technique that I use every now and then.”

“Everyone, please refrain from making messages that could lead to international issues,” Davey said, cutting off the conversation using his rights as the streamer. Then he placed his hand on the closed box again. “First of all, I will give the claw to one of the viewers. No complaints about this, right?”

Davey knew there wouldn’t be anyone who would complain because it was their opportunity to get their hands on an unrealistic item.

At that moment, one message caught everyone's attention.

People began to discuss how twenty billion Korean won was such a big amount of money and how Davey could possibly spend it. Of course, this was all under the assumption that Davey was going to sell it to the random commenter. This reminded him of the phrase that too many cooks spoil the broth. But Davey never thought about selling it to anyone. He was planning to do a fair giveaway.

“You want to buy this?”

Although the viewer wasn’t fluent in Korean, it was the language they used. They were probably thinking that it was the language Davey was using just because he was in Korea.

“I have more money than you. Did you see the airship? I made that as a hobby. Your cruise ships don’t fly, do they? So, if you’re serious about buying it, let’s discuss it later during a formal business meeting, not through some chat like this.”

After dismissing the viewer, Davey placed his hand on the box again. But for some reason, he felt nervous. So he inspected the box, and that was when he noticed something he hadn’t before.

“It costs money to open the box without killing monsters.”

“I don’t know either.”

Of course, that had nothing to do with Davey.

"Whatever. I'm just going to dip my tongue in any way. There’s no risk here.”

Without hesitation, Davey opened the box. But there was no light this time.

"What’s this?"

The chat was flooded with question marks as everyone wondered what had come out.

"It’s… beef jerky. This seems like a next time thing.”

-

“Please be quiet. It’s not like I’m lucky all the time.”

Davey ignored the joking message and opened the box again. And then…

“A water bottle? You gotta be kidding me…”

Davey’s eyes widened in fury as he tightly held the wooden container filled with clear water to the point that it was about to break. He then threw it into the air and snapped his fingers, causing flames to flicker and making the bottle evaporate in an instant.

“Let’s pretend that we didn’t draw a water bottle. Let’s move on quickly to the next one.”

Light came flowing out of the box once again.

"Whoa! I can already tell that this one’s going to be good!” Davey said as he widened his eyes. He then screamed, “A magic stone!”

“This right here can make enough money for one territory to run for several months,” Davey explained.

“See this?” He said as he took an artifact from his Pocket Plane. He then made a cut on his hand with a knife and activated the artifact. The wound on his hand healed while emitting a pure white light.

“This is what happens.”

Of course, what he just demonstrated wasn’t made of magic stones, but it was enough to give the viewers an idea of what it was capable of.

The chat was once again flooded with reactions.

“Hmm… Hopefully this wasn’t something I would get banned for.”

The number of viewers had already exceeded the limit, and the server was at maximum capacity.

“I mean, I’ve been using someone else's account so far. Why wasn’t I given a warning or banned for this in the first place?”

“Well, I’ll take the magic stones, thank you very much,” Davey said calmly and opened the box again.

This time, a cloth armor that protected the wearer’s body came out. It was a low-quality item by his standards, but the cloth was capable of completely blocking knives. So, it seemed worthy enough for others to use.

“I’ll give this out on a giveaway.”

Davey then picked up his pace. He continued to open the box in silence, watching as the number on it went down while so many people tuned in, which helped improve the quality of the items.

Before he knew it, the number had dropped to zero. After opening the box fifty times, the only valuable item he got was one magic stone. But the value of the magic stone was so great that it even surprised Davey. It was also what kept him going. However, the fifty openings flew by in an instant, and he looked at the box blankly before placing his hand on top of it again.

“I can’t leave the stream like this. It would be disappointing to end it here.”

“I’m going to dip my tongue just a little bit more.”

The chat flooded with messages once again as they were surprised by Davey’s decision.

“Why would I do that when there are monsters all over the place?”

After saying this, he put his hand on his ear. “Megalodria, I’ll give you five minutes to wipe out all the monsters outside the city.”

The users couldn’t hear anything from Megalodria, but exactly five minutes later, he saw the box having a number ten on it, causing him to smile brightly.

“Alright. Let’s open this box ten more times.”

“Alright then! Shall we?”

As Davey was about to place his hand on top of the box, Perserque suddenly appeared with an alluring smile. She then poked his cheek and said, “Davey, this time, I will try opening it.”

Without any hesitation, she went ahead and opened the box.

The chat went into a frenzy again at Perserque’s appearance, but that didn’t last long. Because a brilliant multi-colored light, which was different from the usual golden light, flashed like a gradient as soon as she opened the box. At the same time, a fanfare rang out. Everyone looked at the box in surprise.

What came out of that box was...

. Davey purposely uses tongue instead of toes in the well-known idiom . ☜
