Chapter 117: Goddess of the World

Having good luck makes me feel uneasy for some reason.

It’s been a chronic problem since long ago.

Perhaps because I’ve never been particularly lucky, it hasn’t been much of an issue in my life, but these days were different.

This sudden happiness felt like it could disappear at any moment, fleeting like sand slipping through my fingers if I tried to grasp it.

It was like that just yesterday. That absurd luck of discovering an unintended Easter egg in that way.

Leaving behind the people who were praising me as the Great Mollru, I ended the broadcast as if running away.

How high up were they planning to drop me from that they were building the bungee jumping platform so high?

I had to turn on the broadcast again today, and I was anxious about what kind of noise they would make.

The sudden luck that had started yesterday was clearly showing its presence, as if it hadn’t ended yet.

My shoulders, which were always stiff due to my large chest, felt cool and refreshed even after waking up, without any lingering stiffness.

Or finding 5,000 won in an old coat while rummaging through my closet to get clothes.

“Double yolks…?”

I was just going to fry an egg, but two yolks came out.

Of course, it wasn’t really great luck, but just something that could be explained as simply being lucky.

At this point, I was becoming anxious.

What on earth is going to happen?

A commoner like me is satisfied just to be able to live day by day. I don’t even wish for special events.

I hope nothing happens today.

I thought as I ate a late breakfast.

In fact, isn’t all of this the trickery of some transcendent being?

Like the Truman Show, are they watching how I react to specific situations, using me as a subject?

Starting from the moment I suddenly took over the body of a woman I had never met, everything up to the present.

Like flipping through TV programs and seeing how I react in this situation and that situation.

Wasn’t it a planned crime by a crazy sadist who enjoys watching me sweat? That’s the sound of me having a silly delusion.

To get to the point, nothing particularly special happened.

It was no different from usual… the problem was that the standard for ‘usual’ had risen sharply recently.

I was starting to get scared of myself for feeling that this wasn’t a special event.

[Mollru, the ruler of World 23! Mollru, the ruler of World 23!]
[Did you see the cafe? The sunset hill you went to yesterday is now a must-see tourist spot]
[??? : We estimate that it will take at least a week for us to discover the Easter egg or hidden route]
[Ah lol, it’s all in Mollru’s palm]
[The streamer is pretending not to know anything lol, she knows everything that’s going to happen]
[Fr lol, are we going to be fooled once or twice?]
[Just the surprise god, Mollru]

“Oh, um… hello.”

It was quite a passionate welcome. Those were the words people were spouting, even though it hadn’t even been 10 minutes since I turned on the broadcast.

Yeah, I thought nothing would happen, but that would be a lie. I had discovered the Easter egg first on the server while the challenge was going on, so it was bound to attract attention. That’s how it would be.

I thought that, but I was denying reality at heart.

No, maybe I just didn’t want to think. Like putting off homework during vacation, thinking that tomorrow’s me would take care of it, I just gave up on thinking.

It was a problem that wouldn’t have an answer anyway. And it wasn’t a problem that would harm me.

I hadn’t committed a crime, and if you think about it, it was actually a good thing. I was the first to achieve the challenge that others were desperate to do, so it was a good thing.

<It’s just Moll Emperor donated 10000 won!>
-World developers said “Mollru, she is a god. We are so honored that she is playing our game.”

…Wasn’t it?

Even so, I didn’t think they would say it like that. I clicked on the link that the viewers had posted in the cafe.

It was real. They said it like that, word for word.

It’s burdensome. It’s so burdensome I’m going crazy!

[Goddess of luck Mollru entered the chat lolol]
[She’s really a god ㅇㅇ I looked at the conditions that were released after the Easter egg was discovered, and it turns out you can’t raise your level above a certain point and you have to watch the sunset from beginning to end]
[Mollru predicted all of this… just goat]
[Mollru? Add ‘nim’ to her name, you ignorant thing]
[I thought the excessive praise chat was disgusting, but it’s fun to do it]
[It’s subtly addictive to do it while watching the streamer’s reaction]

I was wrong. I was completely wrong.

The loyal subjects who would tell me that the excessive praise was too much and disgusting had long been infected by the overwhelming army of excessive praisers.

A nation that forgets its history has no future. That’s a famous proverb. As the past has proven, a country without anyone to say harsh words is bound to perish.

That doesn’t mean my broadcast is at the level of a country, but if you only consider the aspect of a group, isn’t it similar?

My face is burning. I can’t stand the itchiness on my face.

If I wasn’t the object of that praise, I would have joined that rank and enjoyed it very well. My origins were originally closer to that side, so how did the roles become reversed?

In fact, from a utilitarian perspective, if I alone could endure the embarrassment, the 30,000 or so people gathered in this room could all be happy.

But I couldn’t do that. This is now a matter of my pride. If I succumbed to those compliments and danced like a whale who likes compliments, it would be no different from me losing.

There may come a day when I finally admit defeat, but at least not now.

Manage my expression, manage my expression.

I hold my breath and speak in as calm a tone as possible, as if nothing is wrong.

“-Guys, don’t make such a fuss.”

[Huh? How can we not make a fuss?]
[The streamer is pretending like it’s nothing lol. You were nervous when you first spoke and messed up, right?]
[The streamer acting indifferent is so annoying lol]
[If you only look at her expression, she’s really good at poker face]
[Her face is world-class]
[Mollru’s beauty recognized by the world lol]

I failed. There’s no way I can stop the viewers acting like Crayon Shin-chan by myself.

That doesn’t mean I can just ban them outright. It’s not against the rules, so banning them would be complete dictatorship…

“Hmm?”

Come to think of it, there’s no reason why I can’t. It’s said that if you become famous, you’ll receive applause even if you sh*t, and my public sentiment is soaring right now. Frankly, even if I ended the broadcast here and left, people would wait for me endlessly.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to do something so unethical. I just thought that this much was possible.

[Mollru who would slap the goddess of beauty Aphrodite with a full swing lol]

I singled out one person as an example. If it had been ambiguous, I would have been uncomfortable, but this was… just looking at the chat made me dizzy, so I wouldn’t feel guilty even if I executed them.

[Gasp]
[Excessive praise execution ceremony lololol]
[Ah lol, just keep quiet]
[Mu]
[To be honest, it was a bit too much lol;]
[When did these guys get so excited to do it together?]
[Bing]
[Originally, life is all about timing]

The viewers finally understood the situation when I clicked my mouse and opened someone’s chat log.

Having accurately grasped my intentions, I could no longer find excessive praise in the chats that were coming up.

“Mollru’sBlackHoleLikeEyes, you’re timed out for now. Cool your head for a bit. And make your chats a little more… refined. You know what I mean, right? I’m letting you off easy because it’s your first offense.”

It would be nice if you changed your nickname, but it’s not a malicious nickname like Old Folks HallRedGinsengCandyThiefOhDaeShik, but Mollru’sBlackHoleLikeEyes, so there’s nothing I can say.

Or is that another kind of malicious nickname in a way?

A nickname that creates a sense of alienation for new viewers and is good for attracting attention in other rooms.

“Change your nickname too. To something more normal. How can someone’s eyes be like a black hole, no matter how you look at it. Anyway, you’re exaggerating…”

[It’s a well-made nickname ㄲㅂ]
[Fr, it’s like a black hole]
[Uh-huh]
[If the teacher says so, that’s how it is]
[Goodbye to the two guys above]
[lol, they got their necks cut off right away]

I gave time-outs to the impure elements in succession and smiled with a refreshing expression.

Um, yeah. It would have been easier to do this sooner. Why have I been standing still all this time?

I have now realized that I need to show a stronger side than before because the number of people I have to deal with has increased.

“Shall we start the game then? It’s World 23 again today.”

[Let’s go let’s go let’s go]
[World, I’m ready]
[World Goddess Mollru! World Goddess Mollru!]
[What will happen today?]
[There aren’t any black cows missing the live broadcast, right?]

There was one annoying chat in the middle, but I decided to let it slide.

I’m deliberately raising the tension right now, and if I ban them now, the excitement will be ruined.

Consider yourself lucky, you.
