Assassin's Dawn community.
Amben.
This place attracted not only fans chatting live with streamers, but also viewers eager to share the fun moments they'd witnessed with everyone else.
So just where the hell did this user disappear to?
lolololololol
Immortality on a whim? Unknown Master's the real GOAT.
What's immortality ascension?
New skill name.
For real.
Streaming genius Jin Seo-jun! Streaming genius Jin Seo-jun! Streaming genius Jin Seo-jun!
Guild master trait: loves dramatic flair.
lololololol
Why stay in beginner brackets like a coward like White Tiger and get banned? No idea.
Oh, OP's the one saying that lolol Almost got mad for a sec
Fr lol I thought it was asking why not play like guild master. Who doesn't know that's the issue? Nobody's that dumb. They just suck.
Won't do it for the Alliance, but damn I'm jealous!
Fr lol
Yeah, pretty famous.
Why even ask here? And ease up on Unknown Master spam. We're supposed to be for the Alliance, idiots.
Eventually, amid the nonstop posts about Seo-jun, people started asking why keep bringing him up when he wasn't even playing Assassin's Dawn anymore.
Wasn't a noob-bullying ban in For the Alliance totally off-topic for the community?
Reactions varied wildly.
Alliance Ben is scary. I prefer our cozy Amben.
Posts like this hit 30 recs, comments like that get best. We're doomed.

Viola's a given!
Demonic Cult!
Demonic Cult confirmed lol Unknown Master's nick is Heavenly Demon after all.
Played For the Alliance one day and already joined the Demonic Cult lolololololol
We should be begging the guild master not to ditch us, agreed?
IDK but let's just claim him (OP)
lololololololol
History rewrite activated
A worldview where Unknown's the weakest is pretty terrifying??
lololol Absolute horror
People came up with all sorts of reasons why it was okay to talk about Seo-jun.
And most of them weren't logical at all.
But aside from a few holdouts, everyone quickly joined in on the fun.
That was because Seo-jun's fameβat least within the Assassin's Dawn communityβwas sky-high.
No one wanted to feel left out of a conversation they didn't know about, and Seo-jun was way too well-known for that.
Gradually, mentions of Seo-jun started popping up in the For the Alliance community too, and even reached the small private chat for that game's top rankers.
These were users in the top 100 rankings of For the Allianceβthe chattiest ones in the room.
This was a private chat for a handful of verified top rankers to hang outβnone had met IRL, but they knew each other well enough.
Watching this unfold, pro gamer Lee Dong-soo chuckled and jumped in about Seo-jun.
Surface-registered pros got main accounts for official play plus alts, and Lee Dong-soo's For the Alliance alt was Bandit King.
Playtime shortage kept him at rank 183, but still high up.
The chat filled with "lololol"s.
Laughter flooded the chat again.
Grinning IRL, Lee Dong-soo pulled up Seo-jun's past clips to share.
He got wrecked every time they sparred at the gym, but he was still proud to know the guy.
For the Alliance ran a game mode called the Battlefield every quarter, twice a year for three weeks.
The Battlefield pitted factions against each other for control of the Central Plains, with players earning contribution points for victories.
The top 16 in contributions got special rewards and invites to official tournaments.
The Battlefield kicked off tomorrow.
Too tall an order for a fresh noob from beginner brackets to climb high.
Even perfect adaptation in one day wouldn't close the gap that one day made in the Battlefield.
The other rankers felt the pity.
But Bandit KingβLee Dong-sooβdisagreed.
"I think he could pull it off."
Simple reason.
Seo-jun was a better gamer than him, a pro!
Lee Dong-soo had barely cleared the Magic Tower Lord yesterday and was tackling a hidden quest today.
He hadn't glued himself to Assassin's Dawn all day, but Seo-jun nailed it on the first go.
"Though with that guy's personality, he probably won't care about rewards and just do whatever he wants anyway."
Still.
Seo-jun popped out of the capsule and did some quick stretches.
Morning routine.
"Hmm. Pick a faction today and see what else."
Last night's final game was bland aside from White Tiger crashing the party.
He'd hit faction-unlock level, shut off stream, and planned to explore with viewers today.
"Demonic Cult?"
Fitting for the nick, but he didn't really care.
As long as streaming was fun, faction didn't matter.
"Ended with 6k viewers yesterday too..."
A ton of people watched.
Training Grounds hype would carry over today, probably.
Good call disclosing it.
He was getting a feel for streaming now.
Viewers dropped off later compared to start, but unavoidable.
"Lots of foreigners, can't help it."
Plus plenty bounced after the Assassin's Dawn ending.
Still.
"Nailed the first button on this new game."
Seo-jun sat at his desk, booted the PC, and checked donations.
Last week's totals made his jaw drop.
"Whoa."
Monthly Donations Total
4.37 Million KRW
Add the 700k from the Alpaca collab, and week's earnings topped 5 million won.
'Editors get 150k base each.'
Week's donations alone covered break-even for the month.
'Insane. Thought I'd be in the red at first...'
And ad revenue too.
Editor Han Ji-min said YouTube was already riding the algorithm wave, subs over 20k.
'Might actually afford a capsule without the tournament.'
Not ditching RIOS though.
Seo-jun reviewed progress so far, planning next steps in his head.
Then his phone buzzed.
