Chapter 5

The viewers wasted no time mocking Aiden after his bow choice:

- "First-timer doing a bow challenge LOL!"

- "This is why it's fun to watch newbs."

- "I can smell the failure already."

However, instead of discouraging Aiden, the chat motivated him.

"I was going to choose the bow anyway. Their reaction is a bonus," Aiden remarked.

Undeterred, he grabbed the bow, and as the game resumed, a spear swiftly pierced a senior mercenary's head, shocking Aiden.

"Ugh!" Aiden's screen turned red, and the chat exploded with comments.

"LOL, the beginner is so cute."

"Haha, I don't think he knew that mercenary would die right away."

"You killed him! You!"

Motivated by the viewers, Aiden grabbed the bow, and the game introduced [MERCENARY COMMANDER ROMAN].

The chat revealed mixed feelings about Roman:

- "Roman…"

- "Ah, I'm getting PTSD."

- "Lol, that mean bastard…"

- "Hey! Don't touch our newbie!"

Despite the banter, Aiden focused on survival, swiftly acquiring the bow.

"Bow? I don't know about that. Show me what you've got," Roman challenged.

Aiden's first arrow hit its mark, drawing praise from the chat:

- "Oh wow, he hit him lol."

- "Beginner's luck."

Feeling confident, Aiden assessed the situation, spotting twenty bandits and three mercenaries.

"3 vs. 20?" Aiden contemplated, realizing it was a pivotal moment.

He checked his arrows, finding exactly twenty. Determined, he decided, "I have to kill one with every shot."

The viewers marveled as Aiden landed consecutive headshots:

- "Woah?!"

- "Headshot!? Again?"

- "Does he have an aimbot?"

Aiden's success raised questions about the game's realism. He engaged with the chat, learning about headshots and vital spots.

"Okay, I think I kind of get it," Aiden whispered, gaining valuable information from the viewers.

With newfound knowledge, Aiden resumed the game, confidently shooting arrows. However, an unexpected twist occurred when he effortlessly defeated the boss bandit.

"Am I not supposed to kill the leader?" Aiden questioned, confused by the unconventional outcome.

The chat provided insights:

- "It's not that… it's just… the boss usually doesn't die that easily…"

- "He usually dodges everything unless it's a maximum power shot."

Aiden realized his unintentional skill and continued his flawless performance, earning both admiration and skepticism from the chat.

"Die, you bandits!" The remaining mercenaries capitalized on Aiden's prowess, securing victory.

Commander Roman, usually harsh, surprised everyone by praising Aiden:

"You… who are you? I've never seen someone shoot like you."

The chat buzzed with excitement and confusion:

- "What's that dialogue?"

- "He told me it'd be hard to survive with such skills…"

- "Roman, that bastard is complimenting someone? Isn't this a bug?"

As Roman asked for Aiden's name, the chat erupted with anticipation:

- "What's he gonna choose?"

- "I wonder what this guy is going to say loool"

Choosing his name, Aiden decided on a whim:

"[ARROW]"

Roman, taken aback, accepted the choice:

"Oh, Arrow. I'll make sure to remember it."

The chat, along with Roman, remembered the name, marking the beginning of Arrow's legend in the game.
