Chapter 40: It’s Just Skill, Is There a Problem? (Part 5)

‘I don’t think Kim Ji-eun has an innocent charm, I think I do….’

I muttered that inwardly.

The reason I muttered only inwardly was because I knew what kind of storm would come if I said this out loud.

Whether she knows my feelings or not.

Kim Ji-eun advised me with a serious face.

“Shihyun-ah, if you’re going to start streaming, it’s right to start now. Now is the best opportunity and chance. If you miss this kind of opportunity, you don’t know when it will come back. You have to grab it.”

“Hmm.”

At Kim Ji-eun’s serious advice, I hummed.

I felt a little uneasy.

‘I wasn’t planning to decide like this, being pushed along.’

My debut as a streamer will be the most important turning point in my life so far.

As such, I was planning to decide after careful and deliberate consideration.

But should I say that the momentum is building?

The situations that keep pushing me are pushing me to stream.

As if this is fate.

That fact.

It was a little unpleasant.

“…Fate.”

I opened my hand and looked down at my palm.

The lines between the joints of my white and slender fingers, between my palms, seemed to flicker.

‘Fate.’

In the end.

That I watched a strange stream and fell into ‘that world’.

That I stood up and fought as a hero there.

That I killed the Demon King.

That I fell into a hellish swamp.

And.

That I returned to the modern world, played this game, gained fame, and was on the verge of a streamer’s life.

Is it all a trick of fate?

Am I just a duckweed swept away by fate?

“…No.”

No.

All of that was all my choice.

Watching the stream, raising the sword as a hero, playing this game here.

It’s all my choice.

It’s all what I wanted to do.

It’s my choice. It’s a part of my life.

‘So.’

I have no intention of being pushed around by the name of fate.

I will make a choice with my own will.

F*cking fate can’t control me.

Because all the choices so far have been made by me.

I slowly raised my head.

“……!”

Perhaps noticing the change in my eyes, Kim Ji-eun flinched and took a step back.

I quietly clenched my fist.

The pressure I felt in my grip seems to clear my mind.

“I’ll do it.”

“Uh, uh?”

Perhaps she didn’t understand my words for a moment, Kim Ji-eun stammered.

I looked back at Kim Ji-eun and declared firmly.

“I’ll stream.”

At my declaration, Kim Ji-eun’s eyes widened.

Soon, her face lit up.

Kim Ji-eun showed an expression that looked happier than any face I’ve seen so far.

“Yeah, you made a good decision, Shihyun-ah!”

And at the same time, Kim Ji-eun’s eyes began to sparkle.

She clapped her hands lightly and smiled brightly.

“Now you’ve become a member of the same industry. It’s so great! Yeah, this job isn’t bad, you know? The streaming industry has a good future vision, and the work is a bit tough, but it’s rewarding.”

“I see.”

“As I said before, I’ll help you a lot in the future.”

The face of Kim Ji-eun, who said that, suddenly became serious.

“So.”

Without giving me time to be puzzled by that fact, Kim Ji-eun grabbed both of my shoulders and said to me with a serious expression.

“This explanation, will you trust me?”

I quietly met Kim Ji-eun’s eyes.

Clear eyes.

I can only feel the emotion that I’m only for you.

At that goodwill filled with goodwill, I smiled.

“Yeah.”

I always wanted to receive this kind of goodwill.

Meanwhile.

After Hong Chunseok’s hack sniping incident, the Arfellium gallery and the internet broadcasting gallery were boiling with posts about Sung Shihyun.

Actually, the galleries were already burning to some extent because of Sung Shihyun, but this hack snipe was like pouring oil on a burning house.

▶Hey, but no matter how much I think about it, isn’t SH a bit off?

Honestly, her face is really unbelievable, so the thirsty guys praised her so much that I just went along with it until now, but do you think that skill makes sense? As Hong Chunseok said, it’s obviously a hack, but you’re turning a blind eye because her face is pretty, aren’t you? Right?

• So what’s your tier?
  └ (Author) At least higher than you.
  └ Shihyun, you b*tch, is a Master tier and is about to reach Grandmaster, so how dare a lowly b*stard
  └ (Author) I didn’t set up a soup restaurant, but the smell of thirsty guys is so strong;;
  └ You understand that, right? Originally, those guys are real-life loners and virgins, so they’re busy praising the net goddess if she shows even a little bit of a similar love angle lol
  └ F*cking b*tch

• But most hack controversies end up being mediocre, so isn’t she going to be like that too? After all, there’s no official certification, so we don’t know if it’s a hack or not.
  └ Such a skilled person suddenly appears out of nowhere? And a woman? The answer is obvious
  └ After all, she’s a leech on Euning’s stream.
  └ ? Isn’t Euning the one who’s leeching? Euning’s subscriber growth rate has been crazy since she met Shihyun.
  └ Euning originally had that potential, it just exploded now. Shihyun or whatever is leeching on Euning now, not the other way around.
  └ Stop praising her so much, she’ll be worn out

▶But it’s true that Shihyun is riding on her face

Such a thing, Shihyun has already cut it up and boiled it.

• Honestly, if you have that face, you should just let it go even if it’s a hack, right?
  └ What are you talking about, you idiot 
  └ Do you think hack controversies are a joke?

• Honestly, this is admittable.. Even if the skills are a hack, if the visuals are good, you have to acknowledge it. Honestly, frankly, if a muscular guy with a bulge is showing off his skills while smelling like sweat, who would watch that except for gay guys? 
  └ Soaked in gochujang and sesame oil, ready for bibimbap
  └ I memorized your IP.
  └ [Cute fairy character with an angry face shouting “Reported!” emoticon]

▶But it’s not confirmed yet

Why are you making such a fuss? Just ignore it.

• Ignore it is when your mom ignores you instead of breaking your head when you sh*t your pants and act like a retard every day
  └ Dddddddddddddd
  └ Why are you so angry, calm down
  └ (Author) Sh*tting your pants is a tradition that continues from your grandmother, so you should be glad you don’t have a boyfriend because your sphincter is still intact
  └ Your mom
  └ This is why people say games are a disease, they produce a lot of idiots 
  └ No, it’s these b*stards who are idiots. Please stop blaming games.

• After all, most hack controversies turned out to be false, so isn’t it a big deal to make such a fuss? It’s obviously not the case this time too.
  └ You lonely virgin b*stard, you have nothing to praise, so you’re praising a hacker
  └ It’s not confirmed yet, so what are you talking about
  └ Does Arfellium headquarters do a lot of external activities in your world

▶I guarantee you guys will soon bow your heads and cry.

Soon King Shihyun’s innocence will be revealed. Then Euning will bring a group of Jang & Kim law firm lawyers and take screenshots of all the b*stards who are talking nonsense in the gallery and sue them. There will be no settlement. You guys are in a position where you have to tremble with your hands and feet and search for the sentence in your room

• Bullsh*t to a certain extent to be funny, this is absurd
  └ (Author) Yeah, even if you write 100 apology letters, I won’t forgive you
  └ Yeah, it’s a hack

• Do you guys really think Jang & Kim is a joke? Why would they take on the defense of some unknown net streamer? 
  └ ‘Kim’ Ji-eun, and Jang & ‘Kim’
  └ Oh my goooood
  └ Dddddddd
  └ I didn’t know that ddddddddd

• Yeah, she’s a hacker, she’ll fall soon
  └ (Author) Yeah, I captured it  I’ll submit it later when Euning collects evidence
  └ That’s so childish, I thought you were a preschooler

• But why is Euning suing when Sung Shihyun is the one who was wronged?
  └ Well…
  └ Euning is the main body, actually 
  └ She’s a robot that only moves as Euning tells her to.
  └ True lol
  └ What nonsense, don’t put Euning on our Shihyun
  └ Yeah, thanks to Euning, she has this much recognition
  └ Euning and Shihyun seem to be very close, but the fandoms are fighting so much, it’s like watching a comedy 

▶Euning, Shihyun, hacks, whatever

The featured posts are f*cking triggering my trauma Do your fanboying in your own mini-gallery, you b*stards;;

• This gallery is already occupied.

• If you’re not interested in Euning or Shihyun, why are you in the Inbang gallery?
  └ True lol

• But it’s a bit too much;; It’s the same level of fuss as the TC guys making a mess in the WCC gallery during the World Champion Cup;;
  └ It’s just one streamer, why is there so much fuss lol
  └ ? Just a streamer. Shihyun is “life”.
  └ Apologize to Shihyun
  └ F*ck;; The oil of thirsty guys is flowing, it’s disgusting

And in such a chaotic gallery.

▶Hey, look at Euning’s stream title

It says explanation stream, is this about SH, right?

• ?????

• Explanation?

• They’re going to explain?

Kim Ji-eun, who received Sung Shihyun’s permission, dropped a nuclear bomb.
