Chapter 5: Play the Arfellium(Part 2)

But, she couldn’t stay frozen forever.

Sung Shihyun shook her head and clutched the card tightly.

Then the card turned into a blue aura and flowed into her body.

It seemed that the selection was over.

Because an interface screen was immediately displayed in her vision.

[‘Shihyun13’.

Welcome to Arfellium.]

“Welcome…… huh.”

Looking at the notification window that was shining brightly as if to grandly welcome her connection, Sung Shihyun

twisted her lips.

‘Welcome, my ass.’

If she was given a choice.

No.

For example, if someone asked her if she had any intention of returning to Arfellium, she was fully prepared to

strangle that person to death immediately.

Go back to that hell?

Are you crazy?

The guy who let that kind of talk enter her ears deserved to die.

Therefore, this welcome message was quite unpleasant to her.

With an irritable gesture, Sung Shihyun swatted away the notification window.

[Would you like to skip the tutorial…….]

At the same time, something strange seemed to pass by, but who cares.

She was in a bad mood and didn’t want to use her head unnecessarily.

She roughly swatted away the notification windows that appeared after that.

When she checked roughly, there was nothing particularly important.

And finally.

[Character creation complete!]

[Moving to the main hall…….]

It seemed that gameplay was finally possible.

At the same time, the world was engulfed in a bright glow, and she felt a sensation of moving somewhere.

A strange sensation.

She had felt it before in ‘that world’.

It was similar to the sensation felt when using teleportation magic to move long distances.

‘Hmm.’

Could it be that she would fall into ‘that world’ like this?

Because she felt a slight anxiety, Sung Shihyun thought of the kitchen knife she had attached to the bedside.

Then she felt a little relieved.

And soon.

The world flashed.

[Looks like Your Highness, Ji-eun lol]

“Ah, I don’t look like her!”

As soon as the donation sound, which resonated in her ear at an appropriate volume according to the streaming

settings, was heard, the woman wielding the greatsword burst out.

At the same time, breaking through the gap that had arisen, the opponent facing the woman with the sword thrust

their sword.

It was only a momentary gap, but the woman could not block the sword strike that pierced through that gap.

A clean hit.

“Aaaagh!”

At the same time, the chat window, which filled one side of the woman’s vision, scrolled up at the death notification

window that appeared in front of her eyes.

The woman, Kim Ji-eun, trembled with her translucent body due to death, looking at the chat window filled with

laughing emojis.

“Hey!

I died because of you guys!”

[?]

[??]

[Why is that our fault?]

[Blaming others no]

[If the teacher had dodged a little faster……]

The chat window scrolls up again.

In response, Ji-eun wildly swung both arms.

“Ah, dammit!

I flinched for a moment because of the donation!”

[Ah  you should have filtered it yourself]

[Then who told you to turn up the donation sound and play ranked?]

[Ah  Did someone threaten you with a gun ]

[Yeah You failed to promote again]

At the last chat that came up, ‘promotion failed’, Ji-eun quickly looked at the interface that appeared in front of her eyes.

Her allies were already completely destroyed.

And the main base was being raided.

At that sight, Ji-eun sat down on the spot.

“Aaaaaah!

Why!

Why again!

I can’t lose my promotion match!

I can’t lose it!”

[Yeah go back to Platinum~]

[Teacher, you failed again……]

[Season 17348179th promotion failure]

[So who told you to play a swordsman?

The answer is ‘King God Archer’]

“R-Really?

Would I have won this game if I used a bow?”

[?]

[No way]

[Why are you making Ji-eun play an archer when she’s so bad at archery?]

[True. Even Yi Seong-gye would shake his head at her archery skills.]

[But it’s guaranteed fun]

[? It looks f*cking painful]

“Aaaaaaack!

Stop teasing me!

Stop it!”

Ji-eun shouted loudly as if she was wronged, but that didn’t stop the chat window from teasing her.

After trembling for a long time in the midst of laughing emojis, Ji-eun made a face as if she had lost her country at

the ‘defeat’ notification window that appeared in front of her eyes.

“Ah, ah…….”

[Face of losing a country On]

[True, who would have thought she was an independence fighter]

[If she had this kind of facial expression, they would have returned the country out of pity, right?]

[Ji-eun who looks like the princess lol]

“……Manager, please ban that b*stard just now.”

[Suppression incoming]

[Firing]

[Run away]

[^^7]

[^^7]

[^^7]

[^^7]

Kim Ji-eun, Tricky nickname Euning, looked at the chat window filled with saluting emoticons for a long time and

sighed deeply.

‘I failed again.’

Promotion failure.

At that word, she naturally lost her appetite.

‘I need to reach Diamond quickly so that the broadcast can grow a little more.’

Euning, or Ji-eun, was an Arfellium, or Alpe, streamer.

She had been playing Alpe for 2 years.

And broadcasting for 4 years.

It had only been 1 year and 8 months since she escaped the days of being a small streamer.

She was a streamer who had just started to settle down, but Ji-eun was still dissatisfied.

She had talent in Alpe, so she escaped from being a small streamer with multi-ranked skill broadcasts, but she

couldn’t grow any further.

The reason was simple.

There were many users who were better at Alpe than Ji-eun, and there were also quite a few female streamers who

were better at Alpe than Ji-eun.

She was gradually gathering subscribers and viewers by making use of her daily struggles in promotion matches, but

the bad news of being of average skill was always a problem that held Ji-eun back.

‘If I go to Diamond, it will be a little better.’

Will it really?

Is it my illusion?

……The thought also existed in Ji-eun’s mind, but that didn’t mean she could think of another way.

This was the only way she knew how to do, so she had no choice but to do this.

Ji-eun was broadcasting hard every day with that thought.

“Sigh.

Guys, I can’t do it anymore.

I’m mentally out today, so I can’t do it anymore.

Let’s just play one normal game and end today.”

[????]

[Abandoning multi-rank???Abandoning promotion????]

[Are you going to run away like this again?]

[She’s really the god of escape, she always runs away like this]

“Ah, I said my mentality is broken!

I said I can’t do it anymore!”

[Preemptive crying wins]

[I understand~ If I f*cked up promotion 3 times in a row, I wouldn’t want to play either~]

[Don’t abandon us!!!!!!!]

“Ah, I don’t know.

My mentality is broken and I’m pissed.

I’m going to play a normal game.”

Ji-eun declared and immediately went to the main hall.

Then the world immediately changed.

The next moment, Ji-eun was standing in the middle of the square.

“Wow, I really think the main hall is pretty.”

[The square really has a vast feeling]

[True, just looking around makes you feel the fantasy vibe]

It was a huge, really enormous square.

And that square was packed with countless translucent people.

Sometimes there were people who were not translucent, and they were all busy looking around.

“Oh, a newbie.”

Ji-eun’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the non-translucent people.

Actually, it’s normal to turn on the non-contact setting in such a large-scale safe zone.

Because there are too many people, you can’t move.

But, newbie players usually don’t even know what the non-contact setting is, so they always maintain their original

state with a body, not a translucent ghost state.

“There are a lot of newbies today.

Was there a discount on VR devices?”

On the one hand, Ji-eun looked around at the new players, and on the other hand, she manipulated the interface to

start the matching system for a multi-normal game (7vs7 battle).

While doing so.

“Huh?”

Something caught Ji-eun’s eye.

It was a female newbie player who was looking around with her body.

If she was just an ordinary woman, Ji-eun wouldn’t have been interested.

Then why did Ji-eun take an interest in that player, well…….

“……How can a person be so pretty?”

[????]

[??]

[Wow what is that]

[Fcking goddess descent]

[So fcking pretty]

It was because that newbie female player was so pretty.

Even though there was some distance, her shining appearance immediately caught the eye.

Ji-eun stared at the female player with her mouth open.

“Wow, amazing.”

[That must be customization, right?]

[She poured her soul into customization]

[If they sell that kind of thing for money, I’ll buy it right away]

[Out with the virtual meat]

“Wow, you’re right.

The customization is really well done.

I think I should buy something like that with money.

Wouldn’t it be around 10 million or 20 million won?”

[Who would put 20 million into a game character ]

[I bet the streamer spent 2 million on enlarging her breasts]

[Crazy b*stard]

“Manager, please ban her too.”

[^^7]

[^^7]

[^^7]

[^^7]

Looking at the chat window where loyalty was rising again, Ji-eun sighed.

Yeah, it must be customization anyway.

There’s no way a person could be that pretty.

‘Then is she a streamer?

But I’ve never seen an impression like that.’

Ji-eun tilted her head.

No matter how much she racked her memory, she had never seen a streamer with such beauty.

‘If a streamer has that level of beautiful customization, even if her voice is average, she will definitely become a big

streamer…….’

Since she had no memory at all, it might be an ordinary person.

‘Wow, if she’s an ordinary person, that’s even more amazing.’

How much did she pour into customization?

Ji-eun shook her head.

-Ching!!

Just at that moment, the multi-normal game was matched.

Ji-eun took her eyes off the beautiful her and pressed the accept button on the interface window.

Then, the surroundings changed again, and she was moved to a waiting room with seven tombstones.

There were already a few people in the waiting room who had pressed accept and arrived.

Ji-eun looked at their faces and roughly gauged the direction of the game.

At that moment.

-Whoosh!

A new player entered the waiting room.

“Huh?”

Ji-eun’s eyes widened when she saw the newly arrived player.

Well, it couldn’t be helped.

The player who newly entered the waiting room was the super-beautiful woman she had just seen in the square.
