GameMeta, the leader in online gaming newspapers.

Reporter Han Seong-woo, who works there, sent an email to Akare’s game company, Record Eye, as usual today.

The content of the email was a request for an interview with the director.

“You haven’t given up yet?”

Lunchtime. A colleague who brought snacks from the break room asked Han Seong-woo.

From the time when Akare became a serious issue to the present.

Han Seong-woo sent interview request emails to Redok Eye every single day without fail.

“I gave up halfway.”

“Huh? Halfway?”

“Just, I still have regrets.”

“Aha. It’s definitely a shame.”

In the early days, when Akare was not yet this big.

In fact, that was the only chance, and after that there was no hope.

Still, I keep sending emails because I still feel regret.

“Just give up cleanly. Even the major media outlets have almost given up.”

“That’s what I’m going to do.”

The size of Internet gaming newspapers has grown compared to the past.

Its influence was still three steps behind that of the major media outlets.

I was thinking, is it really time to give up?

New mail arrived in the updated mailbox.

Han Seong-woo checked the contents of the email as if he was possessed.

“Ha, haha!”

The identity of the email was a reply from Record Eye.

The content could be summarized as follows: I will respond to the interview.

“This is the middle ground.”

Han Seong-woo, whose blurry eyes began to come alive, moved quickly.

We discussed with Record Eye the time and place to conduct the interview.

I planned my schedule to accommodate the other person’s position as much as possible.

The process went by quickly, and the day of the interview finally arrived.

“Are you really coming?”

“That’s right.”

Groan groan-

The Aurora director himself visits.

That fact caused the atmosphere in the company to become chaotic.

You may wonder if I am being too presumptuous.

This kind of reaction was not only natural, it was inevitable.

It was a gaming newspaper that mainly covered game-related issues.

Because there wasn’t a single person working here who didn’t do akare.

“2nd Awakening What kind of technology is that···.”

“A new capsule model is planned to be released···.”

“Quiet!”

The chief of staff, who had calmed down the commotion, approached Han Seong-woo, who had caught a big fish.

“Good job. Don’t be nervous.”

“Yes.”

The chief patted Han Seong-woo on the shoulder to encourage him.

Thanks to that, Han Seong-woo, who had somewhat relaxed, went down to the entrance.

It’s almost time for the appointment, and there hasn’t been any contact.

Is there a problem? Should I contact you first?

At that time, all kinds of thoughts were swirling around in my head.

“Reporter Han Seong-woo?”

A familiar, beautiful voice was heard from behind.

Han Seong-woo turned around reflexively and couldn’t answer right away.

Because the ‘Aurora’ that I had only seen through the monitor was standing there.

Aurora’s signature blue eyes and hair.

What about the outfit? A wool half coat and a sweater.

The area under the coat was bare and exposed.

Even when compared to real celebrities, it is not even comparable.

Because the Aurora was that beautiful and pretty.

“Are you reporter Han Seong-woo?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

Han Seong-woo was so dazzled by Aurora’s beauty that he couldn’t come to his senses.

I quickly came to my senses and began to scold myself.

How can you show such a pitiful appearance? You ruined my first impression.

Contrary to Han Seong-woo’s thoughts, Aurora smiled brightly.

“Hello. My name is Aurora.”

“This is Han Seong-woo, a reporter for Game Meta. Please take care of us today.”

After exchanging formal greetings, Han Seong-woo guided Aurora to the interview room.

***

After resolving the global service issue.

I decided to get rid of all the work I had been putting off.

First of all, an interview that I couldn’t do because I was too busy.

Since the launch of Akare’s service, we have received numerous interview request emails.

There were so many that even reading them was difficult.

However, since it was not something I could just read and pass over, I had to spend a whole day just reading emails.

From major media outlets to obscure media outlets with little recognition.

They came from many places, but there was one email that really caught my eye.

Game Meta, an email sent by reporter Han Seong-woo.

The reason I chose the email he sent was simple.

All other emails focused on ‘virtual reality’ games.

This reporter is the only one who focuses on virtual reality ‘games’.

I also liked the last comment about actually enjoying Akare.

More than anything, I feel like people like the game I made.

I should say that I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride there.

On the other hand, emails from major media outlets were all unpleasant.

In particular, he immediately blocked me because he openly hinted at the nuance of ‘We’ll interview you, so accept it.’

“Aka-chan. How about these clothes?”

After making an appointment for the interview, I got dressed.

A sweater over a wool half coat. And a skirt.

There was no particular reason for choosing this combination.

I just thought it would look good on me.

When I actually wore it, it was pretty.

“Pass. You seem like a goddess who came down to this world and enjoys playing.”

“···This isn’t some kind of YouTuber RP.”

I wasn’t wearing stockings.

Should I call it the last bit of pride?

But I was a man once.

“I’ll go and come back.”

After using the invisibility spell, I teleported to the meeting place.

‘I wish I had known this from the first day I returned.’

In the early days of Return, when the only thought was to create games with the Creator’s authority.

I once went out to do chores despite my shame, and became a spectacle for others.

If I had learned useful magic like invisibility or polymorph with the Creator’s authority back then, I wouldn’t have attracted much attention.

Well, it’s no use regretting the past now, it’s already in the past.

‘Is that person reporter Han Seong-woo?’

A man standing in front of the entrance to the Game Meta building, waiting for someone.

Looking closely, I saw that he was wearing a name tag with the characters ‘Han Seong-woo’ written on it.

Let’s use polymorph to change hair and eye color.

I hesitated for a moment, but decided to show it as it is.

There are no eternal secrets in this world, and the truth will come out someday.

That this appearance of mine isn’t just cosplay, but my true self.

“Reporter Han Seong-woo?”

When I called his name, reporter Han Seong-woo turned around and looked at me.

A look of surprise mixed with confusion scanned my body for a moment.

I didn’t feel any particular discomfort, but it felt a bit burdensome.

That feeling when you see a really pretty celebrity passing by and just stare blankly.

Since I am a man, it was an understandable reaction.

“Are you reporter Han Seong-woo?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

Did he come to his senses only after I spoke to him one more time?

The corners of his lips twitching in shame were very impressive.

It’s almost like I was playing the role of a goddess not long ago.

“Hello. My name is Aurora.”

“This is Han Seong-woo, a reporter for Game Meta. Please take care of us today.”

After that, I moved under the guidance of reporter Han Seong-woo.

[Streaming Gallery]

The streaming gallery was currently in chaos.

I thought that Daehyeop Kim’s broadcast would start the day with Akare as usual.

It raised a huge issue of the reversal of the domestic withdrawal of Toy TV.

Because of this, Streaming Gallery, where many of the former main viewers of Tweety TV were active, was bound to be in chaos.

It’s just a flyer, misinformation.

No. It’s a real fact that everyone who knows already knows.

The appearance of industry insiders. Baseless rumors. Public opinion that they want Toichi to return, etc.

Streaming was truly a crucible of chaos.

That chaos didn’t last long.

―――

[Title] They’re all bursting out at the same time lol

(Collection of articles announcing the reversal of the withdrawal of Touch TV)

I will never come back because of the mesh fee.

Should I come out and beat the shit out of these kids?

[Comment 351]

No but who would have expected this

N-Toichi is coming back because of one game?

All the kids who were slandering me have been burrowed

It seems that Amazon will be in charge of publishing as well.

―――

As promised, articles related to Twich have been pouring out.

Any further debate about the truth has become an exercise not worth undertaking.

Now that the rumor has been proven to be true, Streaming Gallery is in a festive mood.

Because Twich was the home of the streaming gallery, and it was a home that was lost due to the tyranny of the net usage fee.

Accordingly, it was inevitable that there would be a hint about Aurora, who had a great influence on Twitchi’s withdrawal reversal.

―――

If you have to change your name to Akare Streaming Gallery, then you’re screwed lol [31]

To be honest, I didn’t like the goddess brainwashing of my own daughter [36]

Damn, another Aurora teaser. Now I have to praise [52]

What happens to the support staff when Touchy returns? [27]

“Hey, Smingal. What the hell are you doing?” [657]

―――

[Title]”Hey, Streaming. What the hell are you doing?”

(A meme with an aurora superimposed on the face of a god with a halo)

You made the Inbangpan a huge hit

You even gave me something to see

You even gave Touchy a comeback

(Aurora being embarrassed by worship)

Should we really praise the goddess Aurora for all she has done?

[Comment 657]

Yeah, if you don’t praise me, I’ll debut as a streamer

Yeah lol

N this is correct

If you do this, I’m confident that you’ll be a dog and a god

Hey, why is it that only Aurora comes to mind…?

Meanwhile, Streaming wasn’t the only place where chaos was taking place.

Akashic Records Gallery.

With the recent 2nd Awakening and the discovery of new areas.

Akagal is always a mess, but today it was even worse.

Interview with Aurora.

No matter what companies and media outlets send love calls.

The one who was consistently ignored was the record eye.

It was an interview that was exclusively conducted by a non-major media outlet.

―――

Aurora: It’s burdensome and very embarrassing to be treated as a goddess. [627]

Aurora’s answer to the question about the fake 2nd awakening cutscene is fucking stupid lol [938]

Aurora: The Pseudo-Goddess Was Never Intentional [866]

Aurora Official Raven’s affinity is maxed out, so Yasdo is possible [1751]

There is also information about global services and Touch [515]

―――

If you maximize your affection level, you can also get Yas.

This was a major issue for users.

Because in the previous live, it was said that only avatars could be worn.

However, no user has yet reached the maximum level of Raven’s affection level.

Now that the official announcement has been made, everyone is desperate to increase their popularity.

Naturally, the price of items that could increase Raven’s favorability was bound to skyrocket.

And as I watched this whole process, I let out a deep sigh.

“···low quality.”
