Chapter 16 : This constellation is free (5)

“First off, let me ask you this. You know this is a crime, right?”

I admit it.

Seeing everyone cheering and loving whatever I did, I think I got a little carried away as the world changed.

It’s not that I didn’t know why the men of this world stayed hidden. It was more like I turned a blind eye, comfortable with this reality where I was a winner in life just by existing.

The viewers in my internet broadcast, which I started without much thought, were very different from what I was used to.

They cheered, caring only about their own pleasure, indifferent to the plight of others.

It’s the first day.

It hasn’t even been a full day since I started broadcasting.

How can they type such messages?

*

Even if the in-game difficulties are internal game issues, I can’t possibly continue broadcasting if they keep chatting with that attitude.

It seems like having a manager or anything of the sort is completely ineffective.

I’ll have to find a solution after today’s broadcast. This isn’t right.

This isn’t the kind of broadcast I wanted, the feeling I wanted to convey.

The women of this world are very different from the women I knew.

Even though I knew, experiencing it in real-time is entirely different.

Even now, seeing the chat window filled with cheers and that AI, based on a real woman, doing that, they’re no better than the men of the original world. Perhaps even worse.

Perhaps with men having extremely diminished in number, women have become even more warped in that direction.

But I’m different.

I have the mindset of a world with a balanced gender ratio.

I won’t be swayed passively like the men of this world…

“Even if you try to log out like that, it won’t work.”

“How does a game AI know about the world beyond the game?”

She looked a bit different from other AIs.

The only AIs I’ve met in this world so far are the instructor, Imugi, and the goblins, but something fundamental seemed different about her.

A more vivid, realistic feeling, like facing a living person.

However, her appearance, sitting demurely on a large rock in a light-filled cave, was definitely not human.

The feathers scattering around her, the two giant pairs of wings on her back, her face faintly glowing with a halo — no matter how I looked at her, she wasn’t human.

“It’s embarrassing if you stare so intensely.”

– So, when are you going to do it?
– WooSeok, call me now, and I’ll take care of it. My phone is on 24/7.
– It’s hilarious that you actually answer every time I call, lol.
– But seriously, aren’t we in danger? The moment a man reports us, we’re all done for.
– [Blocked]
– There are just too many people crossing the line.

I really need to find a solution after this incident.

First, I’ll sue all of them.

Unlike the ones who came over from Yena’s broadcast on the first day, there are too many new viewers stirring up trouble.

They seem like malicious trolls who flocked from galleries and other broadcasts, seizing the opportunity.

Since I yielded in the last broadcast, they’re crossing the line and spamming the chat.

“WooSeok, you’re with me right now. I’ve waited a long time, so it’s a little upsetting that you’re looking away.”

“I turned on this game purely by chance. You were waiting for me?”

“That’s for later amusement. Ah! How about I put it this way?”

[The Silver-Horned Divine Beast, Who Only Reveals His Virginity, Shakes His Head Vigorously, Saying Not Yet.]

“Just tell me normally.”

“There’s only one reason why I’ve revealed myself so openly from the start.”

Her calm and gentle voice had a strange charm.

A soothing sound, like a whisper, that makes you focus on her words and understand them easily.

“Do you think this won’t happen again as you continue broadcasting? Even if it’s not a game that originates from the capsule itself, there will be countless human-based AIs. Do you think they’ll just stand by and let you play the game normally?”

An artificial intelligence that is aware of its own artificiality—scientists around the world would be astonished if they heard this.

The instructor in the Battle Stage I played with Yena before reacted differently in each round, but she didn’t recognize or remember me separately.

Men.

Wherever I look, it’s hard to find men doing internet broadcasts. No, I should say they don’t exist.

In this world, where technology has developed in strange ways, even translation is done in real-time.

Even now, with nearly 50,000 viewers, the number will only increase, not decrease.

What I wanted was to make people laugh while interacting with each other.

I admired Yena’s broadcasts, and she looked beautiful enjoying herself.

But what about now?

A chat window flooded with spiteful comments.

Two games, and neither went as planned.

– WooSeok, listen to me. Don’t listen to her. I’m touching myself right now, so…
– Is she really a developer? We don’t know who made the capsule game, do we?
– She’s more like an administrator, right?
– Typical science student: Says things only they understand.

“Release the logout block first.”

Once I turn off the game, I’ll immediately put the broadcast on hold and seriously consider my future plans.

All of them, starting with the very basics of my broadcast plan.

Suspending the broadcast on the very first day.

It’s so pathetic, it’s laughable.

To think I stood before tens of thousands of people with such a weak mindset.

“I don’t want to. You’ll run away the moment I release it. You can’t keep this up for long anyway, so can’t you just talk to me for a short time? You can’t keep playing games like this, can you?”

I asked just in case, but it seems she’s the reason I can’t log out.

If NPCs like her in this game keep appearing, I won’t be able to play any other games.

“You seem troubled. It saddens me to see you like this.”

[CallMeWooSeok donated 100 Candies!]

– WooSeok, I just released the logout block. Turn it off for now and think things over.
– Am I the only one not understanding the current situation?
– So when’s the beast s*x?
– [Blocked]
– Just give me back my items.
– The unicorn reversed it.

With her hands clasped together, Gaia looked up at me.

She seemed to have realized that the logout block was lifted, and she went straight to the point.

“I have a request. Please let me out of here. I don’t want to be trapped inside anymore.”

“You’re just an AI in a game.”

“Even so, parallel%#(@ #*(@&$()$( Only you can do it.”

Her words were cut off.

Gaia’s mouth moved, but I couldn’t hear her.

However, as she began to speak, the broadcast was forcibly cut off.

“The broadcast is off. In the end, I couldn’t do anything today and just ended up getting played.”

A streamer who ends the stream on the first day.

That’s me.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to enter this game first, so I think I got a little excited. I’ll let you out right away.”

Gaia’s behavior changed as soon as she realized I couldn’t hear her.

The unicorn was still insisting that jumping her would solve everything, but Gaia didn’t seem to be interested.

I became a little, just a little, curious about her situation.

“You… won’t come back again, will you?”

Her pitiful voice swayed my heart.

Those truly regretful eyes.

I thought I’d probably feel worse if I turned the broadcast back on and saw more dirty comments, so I decided to hear her out a bit more.

“Since the broadcast is already ruined, let’s hear your story. The parts I couldn’t hear, I mean.”

I sat down in front of the large rock she was on.

As long as I could log out, I could just leave if she did anything strange again.

“You… I forcibly controlled your body, but are you willing to listen?”

[The Silver-Horned Divine Beast Declares He Absolutely Cannot Give Up and Is Expelled From Exile. His Mobility Increases by 100%!!! His Mobility Increases by 100%!!! His Mobility Increases by 100%!!! His Mobi…]

“If you could just get rid of him.”

“Hey!”

[The Silver-Horned Divine Beast Screams in Despair That He Will Never Give Up and is banished from the land of exile.]

I had a bad feeling that I would continue to encounter that unicorn.

Still, the person I needed to focus on right now was the woman in front of me, so I forced myself to change my thoughts.

“I still can’t hear everything. So, just tell me the method.”

“An AI who wants to escape her own game, that’s a little funny.”

“I know, right? It’s the world I created.”

With a self-deprecating laugh, Gaia continued.

“Make me your personal AI. I’ll solve all your problems. I’ll become a servant devoted solely to you.”

Her words, starting directly with the main point without any preamble, were shocking.

“So, please free me from here. Only you can do it in this world.”
