Chapter 26: The Imposter’s Gambit

“Okay, now that I’ve changed the title, let’s get started in earnest.”

[ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[Is something big coming? Is something big coming?]
[What ‘national’ from a small streamer lol]
[100 viewers is national though ㅇㅇ]

[National Project: Secure All SolNoons]

The grand title seemed like it would achieve some terrifying results, but it wasn’t really like that.

To put it simply, the goal was to make the nickname ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’ my own. It was hardly a project, but… so what?

Adding a lot of MSG attracts aggro, and as long as it doesn’t make people frown, there are almost no viewers who dislike it.

Anyway, back to the main point, I didn’t need to do that for MiTube and this streaming site because I had already 선점(Seonjeom/preemptively occupied) ‘눈솔’.

It was a two-syllable nickname that anyone would find pretty, but I didn’t know that no one would use it. Of course, it was a yahoo yahoo result for me.

Next was the LoL Gallery and LoL. Unfortunately, after checking, they had already been taken by someone else.

The LoL Gallery is my hometown in my heart, so I had to reclaim it as a top priority.

I had to find LoL for my broadcast. I can’t broadcast using Leni’s sniping nickname forever.

“But it’s not a huge thing. It’s about taking back the ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’ nicknames that have been taken by several people.”

[Take back? Did you even apply for a trademark;]

“That’s not it, but I’m the first to stand on an official stage with the name SolNoon… so I have a lot of pride.”

[빵ㅋㅋㅋㅋ(Bbang/Bread – a slang for laughing)]
[What official stage…]
[Anyway, she’s the first~~]

It was a serious answer in its own way, but the viewers’ reactions were not very good.

Are you all T? I don’t know why you don’t empathize.

And if Leni’s broadcast, which was watched by more than 20,000 people, isn’t an official stage, then what is it?

There was a rising feeling of disappointment, but I couldn’t show it. It was like throwing bait to those demons myself.

“Anyway, today I’m going to bring the ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’ from the LoL Gallery and LoL. If there are any of you watching this broadcast who are using the ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’ nickname in the LoL Gallery and LoL, please send me a 쪽지(J 쪽지/ 쪽지 쪽지 – 쪽지쪽지]

[Declaration of purging fake Sols ㄷㄷㄷ]
[Would you send it if you were them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[No~ No~ No~]

-oo donated ₩1,000.
[There’s no guarantee that they’ll be watching your broadcast Desuung~]

“Don’t worry about that. They’re probably watching.”

To be honest with my hand on my heart, I was a terribly impulsive person. But that doesn’t mean I did this content impulsively.

That means there was prior investigation.

First, the LoL Gallery. If they had been using that nickname since before, it would have been difficult to find them, but it hadn’t been 7 days since that ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’ user changed their nickname.

They probably changed it after watching Leni’s broadcast that I appeared on.

And LoL was similar. It was also a new account created within the last 7 days and newly placed in Iron.

If they have enough affection to preemptively take my nickname, I’m sure they’re watching this broadcast.

“Okay everyone, send it with 인증(Injeung/authentication) photos. Screenshots can be manipulated, so be sure to send them as smartphone photos.”

[You want a lot for a small streamer ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The attitude of asking is a bit……]

“By the way, anyone who sends spam or something weird will be permanently banned. There’s no 선처(Seoncheo/leniency) for that, even if you’re a SolNoon Squad member.”

[Oops]
[Too bad~]

I waited for about 5 minutes. Thanks to the viewers who were being careful for some reason, the number 1 finally appeared in the message box that was empty.

With a pounding heart, I checked it and there was a photo attached.

A screen showing the personal information of AC Inside. The nickname ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’ was definitely written there.

In addition, the hand located next to the monitor was really prominent, because it was a hand pointing only the middle finger at the camera.

Who does she take after, even the photo has an 악질력(Akjilryeok/Malicious Power) that is felt very much.

“Okay… a report has come in. That was fast.”

[Wtf already?]
[ㅉㅉ You don’t deserve to have it. If I were you, I would have impersonated once ㄹㅇ]
[Ah no fun]

“Let’s all take a look at the authentication photo together.”

I put the photo on the broadcast screen as it was. Of course, it wasn’t because I had impure intentions, but purely because I wanted to share it with everyone as a streamer.

[???????]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥]

[Are you 욕(Yok/cursing) us right now?]

The reaction was definitely worth seeing. I unknowingly burst out laughing. And somehow they heard that small sound, and the chat window started to explode even more.

“Woah woah, everyone calm down. I just shared it with a pure heart for you who are curious. Anyway, it’s not my fault, and then, is the person who sent the message with the nickname ‘AnonymousReporter’ here?”

[Naturally 고로시(Goroshi/ Exterminate) ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[So scary lol]
[As expected, the malicious power doesn’t go anywhere]

“First, because more certain authentication is needed, please leave a comment on the most recent post I wrote. I’ll send you the comment in a message.”

In case the other person was confused, I even kindly showed the post on the broadcast screen.

After refreshing a few times, a comment was definitely left with the nickname SolNoon. The content was the same as what I had written.

“Yes. I have definitely confirmed it. I’ll send you the YesCord address, so please connect.”

[Are you doing this as a 1:1 fan meeting?]
[This is a bit envious]
[Shibal let me join too!!!!!!]

In fact, I was thinking of doing it in the chat, but it seemed like it would be 답답(Dapdap/ frustrating), and I thought it would be nice because it felt like real viewer participation.

Well, if they refuse, I’ll just proceed with the chat… but would they?

Since they already sent the photo, it was clear that they were an 악귀(Aggwi/Demon) who was thirsty for participation.

“Ah, are you ‘AnonymousReporter’? Can you hear me?”

[Yes.]

What I heard was a normal adult man’s voice. Judging from the fact that there was no 떨림(Tteollim/tremor), it seems that he wasn’t nervous.

That was 편(Pyeon/comfortable) for me. If the other person 떨(Tteol/tremor/ 떨) during this content, it could create an uncomfortable situation for everyone.

“Then, before we proceed, what should I call you? Anonymous? AnonymRe? Reporter? Which one is 편(Pyeon/comfortable) for you?”

[Ah, you can call me SolNoon.]

“…Yes?”

[I said call me SolNoon.]

“What the…?”

[But I’m SolNoon.]

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[That’s right. It’s not wrong.]
[Declaration to become the real Sol ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

“Ha…”

A deep sigh came out. It wasn’t because there was a problem, but just because of fatigue that was involuntarily吐(To/spit) out.

The owner was Leni. It was the time when she should have been broadcasting, but she had to cancel because she had something urgent to deal with.

But the work was sorted out faster than expected. I had just finished work and came home, and it was just past 9 o’clock.

If I had known this would happen, I should have turned on the broadcast even if I was a little late.

“Um…”

In fact, I could turn it on right now if I wanted to. I just needed to trim the somewhat messy attire.

-Toouk.

But Leni didn’t go to the streaming room, she threw herself on the bed in the 안방(Anbang/Main Room).

Yes, since I even made a notice, it wouldn’t be bad to take a break.

When I think about it, she had been running very hard lately. She even gave up her days off to create content and participated directly in video editing.

So, wouldn’t it be okay to rest comfortably for just one day? It was a short, sweet break for herself, and also a day to use as a driving force to live hard tomorrow.

With that thought, Leni immediately turned on the broadcast app on her smartphone.

Watching other streamers’ broadcasts was her hobby, and it would be good to check what’s trending.

‘Huh…?’

There was one broadcast that caught her eye. It was a broadcast with about 150 viewers, which she found by scrolling down.

In fact, in some ways, no, in every way, it was a ‘하꼬(Hakko/small time) broadcast’.

Leni usually doesn’t pay much attention to 하꼬(Hakko/small time) broadcasts, but today her eyes were drawn to it.

[National Project: Secure All SolNoons]

It was because of the streamer’s nickname. It was ‘눈솔(SolNoon)’.

She was the one who helped Leni reach another peak recently… In a way, she was an 은인(Eunin/Benefactor) and at the same time, an 악인(Akin/Villain) who gave her tremendous stress.

Leni entered SolNoon’s broadcast as if she was 홀린(Hollin/possessed). Of course, it was a sub-account, so there was no need to worry about being caught.

<What the…?>

[But I’m SolNoon.]

I don’t know exactly because I came in the middle of the broadcast… but it felt like she was fighting with a viewer who was impersonating her.

She’s already having a hard time with impersonation, and like the interview last time, she definitely shows 떡잎(Tteokip/Potential) to be successful.

[By the way, I have no intention of giving you the nickname. No… rather, SolEuinue(Sol’s Eye) nim should give me the nickname. Because you’re impersonating me.]

<Wow… you’re really 악질(Akjil/Malicious).>

“Puhehe……”

Leni burst out laughing when she saw SolNoon, who had a ridiculous reaction.

What can I say… It felt like SolNoon was getting her 업보(Eobbo/Karma) back. The 업보(Eobbo/Karma) she did to Leni herself. It was nice to see.

As expected, the world is like this. Everything was really a 부메랑(Bumerang/Boomerang).

While Leni was satisfied, SolNoon’s broadcast flowed in a more interesting direction.

<Then, our 악질(Akjil/Malicious) fan, FakeSol nim. Shall we do this?>

[What is it? And FakeSol is you. I’m RealSol. Don’t impersonate.]

<Okay. Just bet the name SolNoon and fight with me?>
