Chapter 11: Dogry’s Revenge

— [‘MolgaWho! A Re-evaluation of the Spirit Summoner Aptitude!’]

— [I saw the streamer Exitra do “MolgaWho” today, and it was insane!]

— [I was worried when he first picked the Spirit Summoner aptitude, but wow, what a surprise!]

— [He cleared the heir duel in one try.]

— [And his younger sibling had the Assassin aptitude—total madness…]

— [Guys, pick the Spirit Summoner aptitude.]

— [Try it once.]

— [Try it twice.]

— [This medicine is proven—safe to consume.]

— [Pharmacist-nim, you shouldn’t joke around with medicine.]

— [Please report illegal drug sales to 1577-1255!!]

— [But seriously, it’s legit. I watched it live.]

— [Dogry shaved his head after betting on it and got wrecked.]

— [Dogry was crying while shaving his head today. I was wondering what happened—now I know.]

— [Apparently, Dogry is now officially a bald-headed streamer.]

‘Maybe it was because a major streamer like Dogry was involved?’

The reaction was much stronger than expected.

If you searched on portal sites, Exitra’s name showed up in the related search terms.

‘I got a ride on the big corporate bus.’

Minseop smiled.

He did feel a little bad that Dogry had to shave his head.

But that was basically self-destruction.

He got blinded by money and made a reckless promise—that’s on him.

It had nothing to do with Minseop.

“Now, let’s see…”

Minseop checked other communities as well.

Most of them were also talking about Exitra.

Several videos had even been uploaded.

“When did this one get posted?”

It showed Exitra fighting Alfredo.

It looked edited—only the key moments were included.

The view count had just passed 300,000.

“That’s a lot of views.”

Minseop checked the comments below.

There were over 10,000 comments.

Considering it had only been up for two hours, the response was explosive.

— [Is this for real?]

— [What the hell am I watching??]

— [Soar high, oh noble phoenix~]

— [I hate fake setups. This is seriously triggering me.]

— [Who dares to call this staged?! Hmph!]

— [No no no, this isn’t fake. I watched the livestream—this is exactly how it happened.]

— [We might need a forensic analysis on this.]

— [Wait, who is Exitra? First time hearing the name today.]

— [Damn. If this is real, Spirit Summoners are totally OP.]

— [If you don’t believe the video, go to TTS TV and check the replay. It’s still up.]

— [Alright, time to verify.]

The comments were mostly positive.

Thanks to that, Exitra’s recognition was slowly rising.

“Nice.”

***

The next day, after shaving his head, Dogry started his stream.

“Haaah…”

Dogry let out a deep sigh.

His once proud, glossy hair was gone—only a bald scalp remained.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

“Sniff… my hair…”

— [Oh no! It’s blinding! Someone, dim the lights! His head is too shiny!]

— [Hey, show some manners! That’s not lighting—it’s Dogry’s head!]

— [Dogry, have you considered changing your username to OnePunchRye?]

— [You’d make a perfect Halloween Saitama cosplay kekekeke]

— [Just need yellow tights and a red cape—you’re good to go~]

‘Was this his moment of downfall?’

The viewers didn’t hold back—they went all in on roasting Dogry.

Their devilish comments made even Satan seem merciful.

Dogry shivered.

“You demons!”

— [Yeeees~]

— [You made the bet yourself and self-destructed~]

— [Press X to pay respects to his hair.]

— [Dear hair, we humans are sorry…]

— [You never treasured your hair, did you? kekeke]

Dogry clenched his teeth.

The viewers were right.

He had made the promise himself and then crashed and burned.

There was no one else to blame.

“Sigh… what’s done is done… can’t do anything now…”

He had already given up.

He knew what kind of reaction the viewers would have once he shaved his head.

He had mentally prepared himself.

[Chairman donated ₩50,000.]

<Hey, didn’t you say you’d get some hair treatment? Use this toward it. Oh wait… you don’t have hair, do you?>

“It used to be there… now it’s gone.”

— [That hit HARD.]

— [Cocky Dogry just got flattened by a nose-press.]

— [Kekekekekekeke]

[HairLossGallery donated ₩1,000.]

<We heard there’s a new member here. You’re more than qualified to join our gallery.>

— [Even the Hair Loss Gallery officially welcomed him.]

— [He’s basically getting an executive-level position right away.]

— [Nepotism is out of control kekeke but somehow, I’m not jealous at all.]

“Aaaah! Stop! That’s enough! Let’s just move on with the stream already!”

Dogry finally yelled.

If this went on, he’d spend the whole stream just getting roasted.

It was time to draw the line.

“The reason I started today’s stream is to analyze the amazing performance of none other than Exitra! from yesterday’s ‘MolgaWho’!”

— [Whoa, those teeth okay?]

— [Listen to that emphasis—man’s biting through his lines.]

— [Kekekeke, yo, you mad? You mad, bro~?]

“Honestly, Exitra isn’t exactly a physical player. You all know this—if you’ve seen his other streams, he’s got pretty weak mechanics.”

Dogry played the video as he spoke.

It was a highlight reel, featuring only the combat scenes from Exitra’s previous streams.

In the footage, Exitra definitely couldn’t be described as having great physical prowess.

— [Wow, look at that diss.]

— [So this is how he gets revenge for being forced to shave his head?]

— [LOL.]

— [He was really salty, huh?]

“It’s not like that! Anyway, take a good look. What do you think about his physical skills?”

— [Hmm… yeah, definitely not good.]

— [That was such a slow attack, but he still got hit and died.]

— [Wait, he actually died from that?]

— [Why did he fall down there? Makes no sense.]

— [Ugh! My eyes!! Give me my eyesight back!!]

The viewers seemed to agree.

“No matter how you looked at it, Exitra’s physical skills weren’t great.”

“In fact, they were slightly below average.”

“But now, look at this.”

Dogry switched to a different video.

This time, it was the heir duel from the “Molga Who” episode.

“Watch closely.”

— [Wow, he’s fighting really well…]

— [But… can we even call this a fight? Exitra’s just standing there.]

— [If you’ve never played as a Spirit Summoner, don’t talk. Don’t you see all those explosions? That’s all Exitra giving commands one by one.]

“Amazing, right? What’s really shocking here is that there are six spirits summoned at once.”

Dogry pulled out some data he had prepared overnight.

“You see the fire and stone pillars rising from the ground, the water and ice, the wind shielding him from attacks… and finally the vines that captured Alfredo.”

“Based on my analysis, he summoned spirits of water, fire, wind, earth, ice, and wood.”

— [Whoa… that’s insane.]

— [W-Wait, I need to go change my underwear.]

— [TE]

— [Is that even possible? I’m freaking out…]

— [Just one spirit was a headache for me.]

“You’re absolutely right. Those who’ve tried the Spirit Summoner trait know—spirits don’t move on their own. You have to command each one manually. It’s a seriously stressful trait.”

The battle in the video came to an end.

It showed the final moment, when Alfredo was lured behind Exitra and then captured with the wooden spirit—followed by a cutscene of their conversation.

“After watching this, I became certain of one thing.”

Dogry stared at the screen showing Exitra.

“This guy is a monster.”

He had analyzed Exitra thoroughly.

Though he usually did analysis content occasionally, today he went all out.

It was obvious he still hadn’t gotten over shaving his head.

“Look at this scene. The way he fights—do you know what I realized when I rewatched it last night?”

— [What?]

— [What is it? Why’s he talking like that?]

Dogry paused intentionally for dramatic effect.

It was to build up the viewers’ curiosity.

“This entire battle was orchestrated by Exitra himself.”

— [O…?]

— [What kind of nonsense is that?]

— [Well, a dog is saying it, so of course it’s dog-sense. LOL.]

— [Ugh! NO! JOKES! Stop the lame dad jokes.]

— [No strawberry jam? Try peanut butter… dead.]

— [What do you mean, ‘orchestrated’?]

The viewers reacted with confusion.

Naturally so—because they hadn’t seen what Dogry saw.

He decided to explain more clearly.

“Do you remember when Alfredo first tried to ambush Exitra using a sneak attack skill?”

He rewound the footage to show the very beginning of the fight.

He wanted to walk the viewers through it clearly.

The scene showed Alfredo sneaking up behind Exitra, only to completely fail his surprise attack.

“Now look at what happens next. Exitra taunted Alfredo, see that twisted expression on Alfredo’s face?”

— [So satisfying!]

— [The confusion is delicious LOL.]

— [Man, that guy kept killing me in the game too. T_T]

— [After seeing Exitra taunt like that, my constipation cleared up.]

Dogry grinned.

He hadn’t understood the purpose of that taunt at first.

But after reviewing the footage several times, he realized every single move had meaning.

“At that moment, the match was basically already decided.”

[You’ve received a donation of ₩1,000 from ‘I am Bald’]

<Hey, hurry up and explain! I’m getting dizzy over here!!>

“Haha, thank you so much, ‘I am Bald’.”

— [He just called himself bald LOL.]

— [Legendary username.]

— [Balding King~]

— [He said it himself! LOL.]

The viewers pounced on the opportunity like wolves.

Dogry clenched his teeth.

Crack!

“Hoo… alright then, I’ll make it simple. Look right here.”

He zoomed in on the screen.

The camera focused on the ground behind Exitra.

As it zoomed in, something became visible.

— [Wait, what’s that?]

— [Is it a snake?]

— [Something’s wiggling and sinking into the ground.]

The chat erupted.

Dogry watched their reactions with a smug look and paused again for effect.

—[Ugh! Stop pausing! What am I, rice? Quit steaming me!]

Complaints flooded the chat.

But Dogry waited for just the right moment before continuing.

“I didn’t catch it the first time either, but later when I figured out what that squirming thing was, I was—heh—”

“Utterly shocked.”

— [Oh my god, what is it?!]

— [He’s the worst explainer ever! Just spit it out!]

— [Huff… huff… please, hurry, I’m gonna faint!!]

The chat exploded with desperation.

Some viewers were actually claiming to be lightheaded from the suspense.

Dogry knew if he dragged it out any longer, it would backfire.

He finally got to the point.

“It was a tree root. You remember that last moment—when Alfredo got caught? That root was already in place before the fight even started.”

“Now, if you’ve got a brain, you can probably see where this is going.”

— [Gasp!!]

— [Is this… magic strategy?]

— [There’s no way… but… could it be real?]

— [20 IQ moment?]

Most viewers reacted with disbelief.

Dogry didn’t let up.

“Yes. That means all of this—was part of his plan.”
