Chapter 100: The Controversy of Han Yurim Has Arisen

The Okinawa trip concluded successfully.

One of the fun highlights was us all playing <Eternal World> together since there was nothing else to do.

Thanks to that, the VR Broadcasting Gallery enjoyed the topic of <Why did these guys go on vacation just to play Eternal World? lol> for a while.

A pine caterpillar should eat pine needles, and a gamer should live by playing games.

What’s with the out-of-place beach trip?

Just play games.

I turned on PaePae’s stream.

PaePae was in the middle of playing <Silver Mirage>, which Kim Inho had created.

[Yuseong. You seem to be having fun these days; is your love life going well?]

As the mysterious blonde, blue-eyed upperclassman character in the game spoke to the protagonist, donations poured in.

-If you can see who it’s based on, thumbs up lololol

-There’s a dating sim game where the appearance is Thierry but the inside is Han Yurim?!

“……”

PaePae didn’t react to the donations.

It was clear that she couldn’t relate to the idea that a character with such a strange way of speaking resembled me.

“She doesn’t really look like Han Yurim.”

I knew it. My prediction was right.

“Han Yurim wouldn’t just end it there; she’d say, ‘Yuseong, you seem to be having fun these days; is your love life going well? Be careful. Statistically, guys like you are likely to fall victim to romance scams.’ The details are lacking?”

I was wrong.

That’s what she meant by not looking alike?

PaePae, that punk. To claim that a con artist heroine resembles me.

This is why the spoon-feeders are hopeless. Their eye for reading games is terrible.

I subtly opened the community page. I wondered what the viewers’ reactions were to Kim Inho’s game.

<Yo, that slice-of-life rom-com part is pretty well made?>

fr fr, you can really feel that a total otaku made it

┗The directing is good

Is she a regressor?

┗Feels kinda like an infinite regressor?

┗┗That’s kinda cliché. Creator, you have no talent for serious parts. Just stick to youth rom-coms

The upperclassman character’s nickname had already become T-Yurim.

It was a nickname meaning that she looked like Thierry, but her insides were Han Yurim.

I couldn’t relate. Why Thierry? It’s obviously a design based on me.

And the insides aren’t me, but some weird con artist.

The discerning eyes of the world have broken down. Now that it’s come to this, I have no choice but to work hard and turn things around.

“……”

“Do you like it?”

I spoke to Kim Inho, who was monitoring PaePae’s stream next to me.

Then Kim Inho nodded.

He had finally gotten the chance to show the world a game he had worked so hard on, which had previously received no reaction.

It was only natural that he felt like he was flying.

Kim Inho muttered.

“The reaction to the true heroine part is ambiguous.”

The reviews from the early adopters who started the game along with PaePae were coming in one after another.

Overall, the reviews were full of praise, but the true heroine part was met with universally ambiguous reactions, which couldn’t be helped.

What could he do if it was genuinely ambiguous?

“There are several reasons why the true heroine part is ambiguous, but you messed up the tension control. Until then, you steadily continued the youth, rom-com, healing, and slice-of-life atmosphere in various routes, and then suddenly you hit them with the truth of the world, but the problem is that you didn’t direct it naturally.”

“…But dating sims have to have a true ending.”

“You’ll improve as you keep going. Fighting.”

Whether he was encouraged by my support or not, Kim Inho smiled faintly and continued to browse the community.

Swoosh.

Fixed nickname, Lonely Flounder. Secured.

Inho, you like flounder?

I’ll treat you to a full course from flounder sashimi to spicy fish stew, so work hard on making the game.

“Break time’s over. Let’s go back to work.”

“Yes.”

I left the staff room with Kim Inho and headed to the ticket booth.

It was a movie theater five seconds away from being conquered and destroyed by all sorts of OTT sites.

I established a survival strategy to match.

A prime example was transforming it to the point where it was hard to tell if it was a movie theater or a restaurant, and the movie theater where I was working part-time was no different.

From restaurants to premium services.

Nowadays, watching movies while lying down is commonplace, so it was on a completely different level from the movie theaters of the past.

“Steak order from premium theater P23.”

“Steak at a movie theater. The world has gotten so much better.”

I took the food and headed to the premium theater.

The movie theater’s survival strategy. The second one. Reduce labor costs as much as possible.

In other words, the current movie theater has a structure where one part-time worker does multiple jobs.

This means selling tickets, making food, and serving it.

Arriving at the third seat in the second row of the premium theater (each seat is covered with a soundproof booth, so you can talk as much as you want), I said while holding the plate.

“Here’s your ribeye steak.”

“Honey, steak.”

“Okay.”

The couple, who had been playing footsie, straightened the backrests of their recliners and pulled out the folding table.

They put the steak on it and ate it deliciously; even the life of a hermit wasn’t as leisurely as this.

“Excuse me, can we order more whiskey?”

“Of course, you can.”

“Honey, what do you want to drink?”

“What do they have?”

The couple looked at the menu and chose whiskey, and then accepted my recommendation and ordered ice cream as well.

Did you know? Vanilla ice cream with pepper is the best snack with alcohol.

After I recommended it to the manager, it became this movie theater’s signature menu.

I made the pepper vanilla ice cream that I had received an order for (it requires the detail of slightly melting the ice cream and adjusting the amount of pepper) and brought it to the couple along with the whiskey.

“Wow. This is so good.”

“How do you make this?”

“The recipe is very simple.”

I kindly told the customer how to make vanilla ice cream.

Seeing the couple excited about the thought of making pepper vanilla ice cream when they got home, I suddenly had a thought.

Isn’t the most delicious food in the world the food that someone else makes for you?

And isn’t the happiest life the one where someone brings you food even if you just sit still?

I think that’s right.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After finishing my part-time job, I returned home.

Click. When I turned on the light, a huge mansion greeted me.

I pay attention to the housing content in games, but I’m not interested in real-life interior design.

The mansion, which only had the basic interior, even felt somewhat desolate.

I went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the ingredients, prepared them, and put them in a pot.

Tonight’s dinner is stew.

It was the middle of summer, but for some reason, I wanted to eat something warm.

It was as if I was experiencing weather that was neither autumn nor winter in late October with my whole body.

“……”

The sound of the stew bubbling cuts through the quiet mansion.

Listening to it, I nodded.

I can’t take it anymore.

I can’t live like this.

Han Yurim’s stream has undergone a very heterogeneous evolution.

You can get a rough idea of how heterogeneous it is by looking at her streaming history.

This was when some of the influx that started with Rozon’s sniping remained.

Since she didn’t even turn on her microphone, it was only full of viewers who came to see Han Yurim’s skills.

Well, it was a small scale of less than 100 people, so it didn’t mean much.

Han Yurim’s stream achieved great growth at this point.

People who were captivated by Han Yurim, who had both excellent skills and a good voice, began to appear one after another.

From this period on, there were more people who turned on Han Yurim’s stream because they liked something other than pure skill.

Originally, even if a female streamer does a skill-based broadcast, she creates simps. That’s how it’s structured.

For reference, even up to this point, Han Yurim’s stream was the VR Broadcasting Gallery’s playground.

This was when it was revealed that she had known PaePae, a major streamer, and Lumen, a top professional gamer, for a long time, and she showed her skills in front of nearly 40,000 people.

Since edited videos were also uploaded to PaePae’s Mytube, which had well over 1 million subscribers, Han Yurim’s stream achieved remarkable growth.

From this point on, Han Yurim left the hands of the VR Broadcasting Gallery.

She had risen to the ranks of the major leagues.

In addition, the game’s sales were also sailing smoothly, giving the feeling of a volcano before it explodes; that was Han Yurim in this period.

Looking at the distribution of Han Yurim’s stream viewers so far, it was roughly like this.

VR Broadcasting Gallery, Eternal World hardcore fans, PaePae’s viewers, Gajunsik’s viewers (for some reason, Gajunsik’s viewers sought out Han Yurim even before they were seriously involved), etc.

There was no such thing as a more mixed bag than this, and Han Yurim added even more to it.

She even summoned VTuber viewers.

From this point on, Han Yurim’s room was a chaotic mess.

It was only natural that so many people with such diverse tendencies, who you would wonder how they gathered in one place, gathered to see just one person: Han Yurim.

People who like Han Yurim’s skills.

People who like Han Yurim’s voice.

People who like Han Yurim’s avatar.

People who like Han Yurim’s wit.

People who like Han Yurim’s games.

People who use Han Yurim as a waiting room.

People who just like Han Yurim.

Han Yurim doesn’t even manage the chat room at all.

In the midst of that, those diverse people gather and talk?

Gwanghwamun Square was less hectic than that.

A period of recklessly absorbing the influx as if she was saying, “Let’s not solve the chaos, let’s double down.”

In terms of streaming, there were numerous contents such as 1st place runs, living together with BunnyRun, collaborations with Arina, collaborations with Gajunsik, collaborations with Akane, and winning the <Eternal Olympics>.

As a developer, she continued to achieve results by creating <Even Repeat Students Need Love>, <Eternal World: Tower of Transcendence (Tentative Title: Novelive’s Tower Climbing Story)>, <Cosmic O’Shaughnessy>, <Cosmic Origin>, etc.

Thanks to this, Han Yurim was slowly not treated as an ordinary internet streamer.

A walking one-person company.

Or a super popular celebrity.

A human who had succeeded to the point where it was hard to understand why she was doing internet broadcasting.

And that continues to this day.

Inspired by Han Yurim’s absolute charisma, countless people admire her and idolize her.

“Hello, everyone. It’s been a while.”

A cult-like pseudo-religious group that follows Han Yurim, agrees with whatever she says, and always affirms whatever she does is finally born―.

“Today, I’m going to play <Eternal World: Tower of Transcendence>. It took quite a while to release due to copyright-related negotiations. Akane-nim also liked it, so I hope everyone―.”

“Master. Here’s your plum highball and pepper vanilla ice cream.”

“Ah. Thank you. Put it there. Where was I? Right. Akane-nim also liked it, so I hope everyone―.”

Born, -ed.

…….

……?

The man, who had paused for a moment because he couldn’t grasp the situation, soon opened his mouth in shock.

Then he opened the VR Broadcasting Gallery and typed on the keyboard.

In fact, there was no cult-like religious group that was inspired by Han Yurim’s absolute charisma and affirmed all of her actions.

The countless people who followed Han Yurim watched her not because of charisma, but because of something else.

Han Yurim’s simps, on a national power level.

Three seconds before burning the world.
