Chapter 111: World’s first viewer immersion content

Fall was the quickest to get used to the flight controls.

Thanks to frequently moving her body in virtual space through her usual VR fitness content, she lightly rode the updraft and soared high.

“Waaah! Woooow! Waaaak!!”

It was Fall, who gained flight ability and lost language function.

It was natural to be astonished. The visual experience of soaring into the actual sky was overwhelming.

The scenery unfolding as the forest and river gradually shrank made her heart pound.

And the sound of the wind brushing past her ears made the sense of space even more vivid.

“Okay, got the hang of it!”

“The control method is more delicate than I thought.”

Summer and Winter also quickly got the hang of it. As expected of Cosmo Live’s representative gaming experts.

“This is… fun, but a little scary.”

Mary also adapted surprisingly quickly. However, perhaps because she’s easily frightened, she moves cautiously.

The problem, as expected, was Cherry and Spring.

“Uwaaak! W-why is this falling so fast?!”

“M-motion sickness… Uuup!!”

Unfamiliar with the controls, the two repeated rapid ascents and descents, screaming and dry-heaving.

“Moving so erratically, it’d be weirder if you didn’t get motion sickness.”

Jina smiled languidly and meticulously observed the two non-gamers.

Still, thanks to the two, she obtained important data. She established a standard for how to set the flight control difficulty for beginners.

“This should be enough data… Everyone, please come down. Let’s wrap up and finish now.”

The thrill of the first experience made time melt away in an instant.

It was about time to finish the test.

“Hooooo-!!”

“Ahahahat! This is really crazy!”

These people, completely absorbed in flying, had no intention of coming down.

“Doesn’t everyone have schedules today? You need to go stream.”

“Yeah~ I’m taking a break from streaming today~”

“Aaak! I was just starting to have fun!!”

The rebellion of the troublemakers, centered around Summer and Cherry, was unusually fierce.

Even Fall, who usually listens well, and the sharp Winter had flown far off, supposedly to check the race map for tomorrow.

Since it came to this, she had no choice but to pull out the forbidden card.

“If you all abandon your personal broadcasts, I’ll abandon content creation too?”

“N-no, you can’t do that!”

[Cosmo Live Group Collab Notice is up!!]

Some kind of race or challenge, they say?

…No, so where’s the swimsuit!!

Swimsuit? Swimsuit? Swimsuit? Swimsuit? Swimsuit?

Looks like the Seasons kids’ Mama couldn’t make it this time due to other schedules.

– Schedule? What schedule? Dragged off to Nise Live again?

– Heard she presented a paper overseas or something?

– ??? Was Mama really a grad student???

– (Former) grad student, they say. Han Ari mentioned it on her talk show before ㅇㅇ

– Wow, just thought she was a designer, but she was talented

– No, Cosmo Live’s sense is dead?? Where did the Summer cliché goooo!!

[Hey, this content creator is ‘that Mama’, they say?]

Busy so couldn’t make swimsuits, my ass LOL

Anyway, I’m curious what kind of content it’ll be this time.

Looking at the comment in the notice, it says ‘Shall we fly together’.

…Is this really about making the kids fly in the sky??

Well, I’ll look forward to it

If it were someone else, I’d just assume they’re doing something with a fairy concept for the kids LOL

– Right LOL If ‘Mama’ <<< made it, you can’t predict what will happen LOLOLOL

– This guy’s methods are just different LOL

[(Rumor) RP server rumor going around, is this true?]

An acquaintance works in streaming related stuff, and there’s a rumor they’re preparing some streamer RP server.

But they say the quality is legendary.

If you’re excited… shall I press upvote?

Upvote

– So, ‘Saving Yoo Da-hee’ <<< Did it surpass this?

– What’s that, you weeb

– ?? Go marathon Queen Summer’s highlights and come back

– Don’t even know Yoo Da-hee and you’re on the forums, you troll

Heard the creator of that VR TRPG is making the server?

– Is this for real??

‘That Mama’ is also one of the server creators, they say?

– No, how many bodies does this person have??

– If so, they should have rolled out a cool bikini too!!

The loading screen emblazoned with the Cosmo Live logo faded away.

Under a clear sky, a beautiful forest and river glowing with blue light filled the view.

Today’s stage was ‘Fairy Forest’, a virtual reality space created by Jina.

“Star-Dusts~ You’ve waited, right? Today’s Cosmo Live collab, as announced, is the ‘Sky Race Challenge’!”

In the middle of the broadcast screen.

Daon, with cute Tinkerbell wings on her back, appeared with a bouncy voice.

[-Ah, so it was this after all]

[-Still, the map quality is amazing though?]

[-Flying around looks so natural]

[-Honestly, I think swimsuits would have been better…]

[-Daon-chan Kawaiiiii]

Daon, after glancing at the chat window’s atmosphere, smiled brightly and shouted.

“Alright, alright! Enough with the cheesy intro~ Let’s call to the stage our Cosmo Live’s sparkling, shining stars who will be racing today!”

As the members’ names began to mix and rise in the chat window.

Six fairies revealed themselves.

First, the 2nd generation seniors, Astra.

Cherry with intense red wings.

And Mary with dark blue starlight wings appeared.

Following them, the 3rd generation juniors, Seasons.

Spring with adorable wings like blooming cherry blossoms.

Summer with golden wings reminiscent of the scorching sun.

Fall with leaf wings shaped like red maple leaves.

And Winter with transparent ice crystal wings appeared in order.

[-Hmm… Maybe the fairy concept isn’t so bad?]

[-Isn’t it king-pretty?]

[-My junior has reacted?]

[-Kuhhh!!]

[-As expected, Mama’s special custom avatar is trustworthy]

The moment the chat window sentiment, which had been clamoring only for swimsuits, started changing to ‘Fairies aren’t so bad either?’.

A donation notification window popped up on the screen.

[[Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 won.]]

[[Crazy, the VR mode is f*cking insane??]]

At the sudden voice message, the corner of Daon’s mouth twitched upwards.

“Ah ah- I was about to announce it anyway.”

As if waiting for this moment.

“Our Star-Dusts! Do you happen to have personal VR headsets? If you go to each member’s personal broadcast and switch the viewpoint to VR mode, you can fly with that member?”

[-???]

[-Yes??]

[-What did you say??]

The core of the flight system in virtual space developed by Jina is based on the manipulation of the screen viewed by the eyes, using optical illusions.

Meaning.

If the streamer’s first-person viewpoint screen is broadcast as is.

Viewers sharing that viewpoint can also be made to feel the illusion of ‘flying’.

“Of course, if you turn on VR mode on the Cosmo Live official channel, you’ll share my, Daon’s, viewpoint, so keep that in mind!”

The chat window literally exploded with viewers who turned on VR mode and got a taste of flying from their rooms.

[-??????]

[-Sht this is fcking insane for real]

[-Waaah LOL Just rolled off my bed LOL]

[-No crazy LOL What is this LOL]

[-Isn’t this a world first??]

[-If you just have a VR headset, you can participate??]

[-Please stop tormenting the aliens, Mama…]

[-The tech skill really broke through the atmosphere LOL]

[-No, with such amazing tech skills, why are you making streaming content?? Seriously don’t get it]

[-My… I’m really really scared…]

[-Ah… Thank you for wasting your talent… Mama the ‘GOAT’]

Daon watched the rapidly scrolling chat window with interest, then casually added fuel to the burning atmosphere.

“FYI, this function is one of the core technologies of the super high-quality! VR! Streamer RP World! ‘Jin-Ro World’, which will be opening soon, so everyone please look forward to it~”

Simultaneously, a translucent hologram window appeared in the blue sky.

[Mega-Scale Fantasy Streamer RP World]

Pang, pang- Fireworks explode as text promoting Jin-Ro World flashes.

The upfront advertisement Jina wanted, properly nailed from the start.

[StarDustMember0 has donated 1,000 won]

[Aww the naming is so cheesy LOL]

[-Naming that reminds me of soju LOL]

[-If it’s Jin-Ro, the ‘Jin’ seems to be Jina’s ‘Jin’, but what’s the ‘Ro’ at the end?]

[-What was the name of that VR TRPG creator? Was it Rosy?]

[-Mama really, how many bodies does she have LOL]

Around the time the chat window’s excitement somewhat subsided, Daon, with a bright smile, began the proper introduction of the content.

“Returning to the content~ Today’s content, as everyone knows, is a race! The person who completes two laps of the map visible down there the fastest will be today’s glorious 1st place!”

[SongiSongi has donated 10,000 won]

[So what do you get for 1st place? Is there a prize?? A subscription gift??]

“Right! If it’s a race, prizes can’t be missed! Prepared by Seasons’ eternal Mama, Jina-nim, the special gift for today’s MVP is none other than…”

Daon deliberately paused for a beat, then said with a bright smile.

“The qualification to participate in the beta test of ‘Jin-Ro World’ as a Cosmo Live representative!”

The moment the prize was revealed.

“Ah… So that’s why you wanted someone good at games to win it…”

Spring and Cherry, with understanding expressions, let out sighs of resignation.

“So this means…”

“You’re giving the qualification to become a Beater (Beta+Cheater), right?”

Proper fire lit up in Fall and Winter’s eyes.
