Chapter 18 : The Saint is worried (4)

What should I do?

Falling, or rather, jumping from high places, was familiar.

I had experienced all sorts of battles, even aerial ones.

But this was too high.

And being pushed, not jumping of my own volition, felt awful.

‘Is there nothing I can do?’

I could feel a faint divine power.

But no magic power.

Considering that neither worked in Demon King, it was probably related to my class.

Perhaps that place had been just below the atmosphere.

‘Well, I guess I’ll just die.’

It seemed there was a revival NPC in this world.

Accepting my fate calmed me.

I could see the ground now.

A mix of medieval fantasy and futuristic city.

A spotless marble floor, close enough to see clearly.

‘Should I try a landing roll?’

Just as I thought that…

Exactly 5 meters above the ground…

The sphere of light, which I thought had disappeared, reappeared.

“Ha.”

My feet landed softly, without any impact.

Then, a playful voice.

[How was it? Lize’s Sky Roller~]

“You…”

My voice was colder than I expected.

[Oops, my bad~ Lize is everyone’s idol, I can’t spend all my time with just one Traveler. See you sometime~ Live long and prosper!]

Poof~

“…Listen here you-”

With a literal “poof” sound effect, her voice disappeared.

I needed more training. Getting worked up over something like this…

Oh well.

It was a novel experience.

More importantly…

‘Is the climate the same as in reality?’

The sun was scorching, like midsummer.

So, this was probably the starting plaza.

‘So many people.’

More crowded than a city center.

‘But…’

Something was strange.

Objectively, I stood out.

I had customized my priestess robes to black.

And because of that…

I checked my appearance again.

White skin, silver hair, and a black priestess robe with gold embroidery. It was quite stylish.

There were many eye-catching players due to the variety of races, so I shouldn’t stand out. Or so I thought. It was as if they couldn’t even perceive me.

“Ah.”

This was it?

I poked the sphere of light surrounding me. It didn’t obstruct my vision; you wouldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.

A soft, warm feeling. I carefully moved to the edge of the fountain and sat down.

‘I think this is it.’

Calling it “invisibility” sounded a bit… suggestive.

“Hehehe.”

This could be good streaming content.

I opened the streaming window and typed in a title.

Newbie Last Ragnarok Stream (Priest) [Seolhwa]

I had already configured the settings.

Start stream!

[Viewers: 1]

“Hmm. Nothing changed.”

The stream status changed from OFF to ON, but the chat remained silent.

Because there was no one there.

‘How long should I wait?’

I closed my eyes, hands clasped in my lap.

The warm sunlight felt pleasant.

The air was cool, thanks to the fountain.

It was completely different from Demon King, where it was always gloomy except for the desert.

I hoped at least 100 people would show up.

But Hayun had overlooked something.

She hadn’t promoted her stream at all.

But her Twitch ID had already been revealed in the chat during her encounter with Night King.

If she had scrolled down a bit further in the streaming window, she would have seen…

Seolhwa Info
Followers: 53,787

An anomaly.

An unbelievable number of followers for someone who had never streamed before.

Streaming apps had a notification feature.

It alerted you when someone you followed started streaming.

In other words…

Right now…

Even viewers who would normally ignore or postpone watching…

Their attitude changed when they saw the notification for “Seolhwa.”

[Viewers: 721]

Which meant…

[Viewers: 5,671]

…this was only natural.

[Viewers: 14,524]

Viewers flocked to her stream.

-Huh?!
-She’s live!
-I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!
-Seolhwa is on!
-Sensei is streaming!
-Why now, why now, why now?
-(Emoticon of tears of joy)

Viewers typed frantically as soon as they entered, then realized…

-Huh? What is this? This isn’t Demon King.
-Looks like Last Ragnarok.
-Wait, more importantly…
-Huh? What?
-Is that sensei?
-Pretty!
-So elegant!
-Pretty and cute!
-Sensei wasn’t black after all! Sensei wasn’t black after all!
-Is she a new streamer? Why so many viewers…?
-I’ve never seen her before, but she’s so pretty. Amazing character customization.
-Sensei, why are your eyes closed? Why are your eyes closed?

The beautiful priestess with her eyes closed was Seolhwa.

Meditation was a natural act for her.

She didn’t notice the flood of chat messages.

And the viewers, unable to bear the wait, started sending donations.

NoonaSoPretty donated ₩10,000!
<Noona! You’re always pretty, but especially today. Aren’t you playing Demon King?>

Normally, donation messages would be read aloud by a text-to-speech program, but it seemed the sound was muted.

TheRealSimpLord donated ₩50,000!
<I thought I would die waiting!>

HeroKing donated ₩100,000!
<So elegant.>

Fanfare

A donation alert like a fanfare.

It was set to play a loud sound for donations over 100,000 won.

A typical setting for a clueless newbie streamer.

Some viewers were slightly annoyed.

But of course, she didn’t notice.

The sound made Hayun open her eyes.

“Ah, hello.”

An incredibly large donation for a streamer who had just started.

But her voice remained calm.

“Um… thank you for the 100,000 won. Elegant… thank you.”

DonationAlertIsOnNoona donated ₩10,000!
<I’m so happy you’re streaming!>

“Thank you for the 10,000 won. Um, so… ah, thank you for the 10,000 won. Pretty… thank you. Thank you for the 50,000 won. You waited… hmm, the donation alert was off. It’s on now.”

As she finished reading each donation message…

-?
-??
-Is that it?
-What about a reaction?
-You have to react!
-What reaction lol? Sensei’s voice is the reaction.
-Seriously lol
-Honestly, you need a reaction.
-When are you playing Demon King?

The chat was flooded with demands for reactions. But it was only for a moment, and normal messages started appearing, so Hayun prioritized those.

“…Um, I don’t know about Demon King. I’m playing Last Ragnarok today. I just created a character.”

-What Demon King lol? Last Ragnarok is way more fun.
-Last Ragnarok came out first lol
-Last Ragnarok is the OG.
-The original was Demon King;;
-Isn’t that the plaza? Why aren’t people gathering around?
-Now that you mention it…
-Her body is glowing?
-Is that a bug?
-Lize sometimes does that to players she likes.
-Lize noona!
-Really?
-Why doesn’t she do it to me?
-She did it to me once.
-It’s nothing special, it’s like invisibility, but it disappears when you do something.

Hayun sighed lightly and tucked her hair behind her ear.

‘So her name is Lize.’

It was natural for Hayun, who had skipped everything, to not know.

-Nice.
-Noona, do that again.
-Sexy.

“Yes…?”

Hayun’s eyes widened. The chat’s reaction was completely unexpected.

The viewers who had acted like gentlemen in Night King’s stream… the context was different now.

Back then, she was a guest. But now, Hayun was a streamer, with a channel and donations.

Some viewers thought of her as a fish already caught.
And four days had passed since then.

People were fickle. Some resented her, some were jealous. The chat was a mix of various personalities.

PrincessKnightLover donated ₩10,000!
<Please tuck your hair behind your ear again!>

“Ah… um, like this?”

-Nice.
-Nice.
-That voice and hair tuck… pure s*x.
-Hair tuck reaction, I see.
-Seriously lol
-That’s a bit weak, though.
-Her soft voice is making my ears tingle. Hngh.

“Ah… please tone down the chat a little.”

Hayun felt overwhelmed. Too many people for her first stream.

She was flustered, looking at the donations and chat, struggling to keep up.

-A streamer hitting 20k viewers in less than 10 minutes?
-So many trolls.
-React please, attempt #34.
-But it’s her first stream lol
-You’re not supposed to mention viewer count.
-React please, attempt #39.
