Chapter 190: Chapter 86: Hollow Knight Not Hollow, Hardcore Gamers Have a Tender Side!_5

He could clearly feel his physical strength declining rapidly, and his forehead was beaded with fine sweat.

Even his fingers seemed to lack strength as if they wouldn’t obey him.

At the same time.

In the main live streaming room.

Little Grey, who had been observing everyone, switched the camera back to Miracle’s perspective.

Regardless of Miracle’s identity, he was the contestant who had been leading far ahead in the third round.

He deserved more camera time.

But soon, Little Grey also noticed something was off.

"Miracle seems unstable, the same old issue from the first round is happening again... His hands are shaking terribly..."

"It feels like maintaining such high-intensity concentration is still too much of a strain for him."

"But he’s still maintaining his lead, having unlocked two Dream Guardians in less than 20 minutes! He’s well ahead of the other contestants!"

"Keep it up! You’re just a few steps away!"

"Let’s see the miracle you can create!"

It wasn’t just Little Grey’s live streaming room.

Because Miracle, as an ALS patient, had continued to strive and challenge himself these past few days.

He had already gained some popularity within the gaming community.

Countless viewers, who perhaps had never even played "Hollow", were now gathered in the live streaming room.

And there were even more gaming media personnel.

They had drafts ready in their minds, waiting for Miracle to clinch the victory, to then make a big deal out of his story. By doing so, they aimed to garner significant attention, and also to offer a helping hand to this unfortunate yet resilient player, drawing more public awareness to him.

After all, losers don’t get the spotlight.

Only by succeeding could one earn the right to speak.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

In the game, Miracle climbed another floating platform.

His shaking hands almost caused him to fall off the edge.

But muscle memory allowed him to quickly execute a Cut Down jump, stabilizing his form.

Just three more steps!

Keep going up!

At this moment, a long and desolate background music slowly emerged.

It was intended to underscore the part where the little Knight, from a pile of failed vessels, strides upward, stepping over countless bones to escape to freedom.

But it eerily matched Miracle’s current situation.

Subtitles were also embedded into the game background.

"No mind to think."

"No will to break."

The eyes of countless viewers were glued to the screen.

This path was indeed difficult.

Even for pros, it was hard to guarantee no mistakes here.

And soon, Miracle climbed up another step!

"No voice to cry suffering."

"Come on! Only the last step left!!" Little Grey couldn’t help but take sides.

Despite being one of the organizers, as he watched Miracle’s hands trembling uncontrollably on the verge of falling into the abyss, just one step away from seeing the light above.

He could remain unbiased in his decisions, but emotionally, it was hard not to pay tribute to this player who courageously challenged himself even in his life’s final moments.

It wasn’t just Little Grey.

Almost every spectator at that moment clenched their fists for Miracle.

"You are the blinding light imprisoned in the dreams of others, spreading the plague."

Another piece of text slowly appeared, superimposed on the dark background.

At this moment, Miracle seemed to exert all his strength to steady his trembling hands.

He pressed down hard on the jump key.

Launching an assault toward the highest throne!

In the game, the little Knight leaped up, clutching the edge of the cliff’s highest platform, struggling to climb onto it.

Suddenly, the screen went dark.

Leaving behind a few subtitles that flashed by.

"You are the vessel."

"You are, Hollow Knight."

After the subtitles disappeared, the screen came back to life.

The little Knight, who had just scaled the last platform, was now plummeting rapidly towards the bottom of the cliff!

Seeing this, many viewers who were confused couldn’t hold back.

"What’s happening? Did the player make a mistake?"

"No! He was so close!!"

Little Grey, however, breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"That was a scripted death. The scripted death means Miracle has reached the peak, he’s successfully passed this level, and after collecting the reward, he can unlock the final Dream Guardian."

"Then, he can charge for the championship!"

However, as he finished speaking,

The little Knight in the game crashed down with a long fall.

He tumbled into a massive heap of failed vessels, identical to him in appearance.

Then.

There was a long silence.

Even though the little Knight in the game had brushed off the dust and stood up.

But the one who controlled him was still not pressing the keyboard commands again.

Little Grey too realized something was wrong.

When he looked again at the camera feed in the bottom right corner of Miracle’s streaming room,

He discovered that the signal had been cut at some point.

The camera was in a blackout state.

But one could hear a commotion coming through from the other end.

And then.

Even the streaming from Miracle’s room stopped.

Falling into a silence as still as death.

"This..." Little Grey frowned, pulled out his phone, and tried to call the other party.

But no one answered.

A few minutes later, he tried calling again.

Still, there was no response.

Little Grey’s heart sank.

But he had to steel himself, turning his gaze back to his own live streaming room.

"There’s been a bit of an accident, according to the rules, if someone leaves midway, our Miracle contestant seems to be disqualified."

"But the competition continues, let’s all look forward to the other contestants’ equally exciting performances..." he said through gritted teeth, his voice quivering slightly.
