Chapter 0: Woke Up as a Girl… Yeah, That Cliché

A streamer on Chichi-jig for two years.
A mid-tier League of Legends streamer with an average of 300-500 viewers.

I went to sleep and woke up as a woman!?

That was me.

“What the hell is this.”

I mumbled to myself while looking in the mirror.

In the mirror was a face I didn’t recognize.

Pale white skin, long flowing black hair.
The sharp, distinct eyes exuded a cold elegance.
It was as if a cool beauty from a comic had just popped out.

Flustered, I caressed my face, stretching my cheeks until they ached.

The fact that only my cheeks hurt proved it wasn’t a dream.

Could this be that thing from novels?
Possession? Regression?

Hmm.

‘That’s not it….’

I checked the trash can in the corner of the room.

Inside the trash can, the snack bag I had eaten and thrown away yesterday was still there.

Which meant this was reality, not the past or some other world… hmm.

First, I turned on my phone and searched for my stream name.

Gangnani.
A combination of my name, Kang Bom, and ‘mangnani,’ meaning a madman, which refers to a top-lane psycho.

It was my precious stream name, created after five minutes of careful consideration back then.

Anyway, after searching, a link to a wiki popped up on the first page.

With a trembling hand, I clicked it and entered the wiki, where my information was listed alongside my familiar stream profile picture.

Real Name: Kang Bom
Birth: April 24, 2005 (Age 20)
Gender: Female

I doubted my eyes.
I scrolled back up and slowly read it again.

Gender: Female

“……”

Seriously, what is this.
Why has my information been so naturally changed to female….

‘Then, w-what about that incident?’

I went to the ‘Gangnani/Controversies and Incidents’ section on the wiki.

Profanity Controversy.
Disparaging Remarks Towards Viewers.
Hatred Towards a Specific Position.

It was a spectacular list, even seeing it after all this time.

Well, given my stream concept, it wasn’t like I was the type to be cautious or read the room.

But what I needed to check now was this.

[1. Concept Collapse Incident]

[Female streamer Gangnani gained attention from the beginning of her broadcast with the unique concept of only repeating the words ‘Ppucca-ppucca’. However, on September 3, 2024, while playing League of Legends as usual, she couldn’t contain her anger and broke character by spewing profanities.]

[‘You f*cking son of a b*tch! Did your mom die or something!?’]

[The scene spread as a clip and became a hot topic, and surprisingly, the viewers’ reaction was positive. At the time, Gangnani had consistently received praise for having a good voice, and this incident became an opportunity for her to drop her existing character and switch to communicating normally.]

‘So f*cking embarrassing.’

It’s true that I used that ‘Ppucca-ppucca’ speech pattern.

It was a shameful, dark past from when I was inspired by a streamer who only repeated the word ‘Hooo’ and struggled to come up with a fresh concept.

Of course, after that incident, my stream gained word-of-mouth traction, and it became a catalyst for more growth.

Anyway, the incident itself happened… but it was written with the premise that I was a woman.

I was praised for having a good voice?
Since when?

“Ah, ah.”

I tried making a sound as a test.
It’s certainly nice, much better than when I was a man.

“……”

I stared blankly at the ceiling.

‘Is this for real?’

The world is the same.
The only thing that’s changed is my gender.

From now on, I have to live as a woman.

Does that even make sense?
Shouldn’t I contact the National Intelligence Service or the forensic science unit about this?

What am I going to do about my ‘macho man’ image on stream…!?

Kuaaaaaak!

I was freaking out, making a scene, when I suddenly stopped.

“…The hell with that.”

This is a total lucky break, isn’t it?
