‘Haruya, if you meet someone who seems to be in trouble, be sure to help them. The hand you extend will surely come back to you someday.’

This is something my mother often said.

These days, I’m so busy taking care of my own body that I can’t properly protect it, but I still haven’t completely forgotten about it.

No, in fact, I couldn’t forget it.

Because those were also my mother’s last words.

[Title: Children of the Stars Minseohu’s activities summary.txt]

[Author: ㅇㅇ (223.39)]

A genre novel community site that I habitually visit before going to bed. I absentmindedly clicked on one of the concept articles and read it, impressed by the writer’s meticulousness.

‘Children of the Stars.’

I remember pressing the favorite button because I was drawn to the simple title. It was clearly a light novel-style web novel that deals with events that take place in a virtual country called ‘Stella’.

But were Star Children popular?

This concept article clearly summarizes the content up to episode 500, including not only the main events but also detailed information such as the main character’s date of birth.

It must have been a difficult task to do with just a little sincerity… … .

[Comments][54]

[ㅇㅇ(14.47): Look at the fake backlighting. Writer, write something.]

└[Nopi: I just checked and it’s finished? But what is your period? Is it a complete ending?]

└[ㅇㅇ(121.158) : Bunchung cut]

[ㅇㅇ: No, the number of views is 1. Who organized it? Not the number of views for the author?]

└[ㅇㅇ(118.35): Please be mindful]

└[Yuyuyu: ㅋㅋI will never watch it, I will grit my teeth and not increase the number of views]

aha.

When I read the comments, I realized what was going on. If the writer is a writer, I can understand the creepy sincerity.

How hard and desperate must it have been for them to resort to such obvious backdoor advertising? No matter how thoroughly they prepare, the dozens of cyber investigation teams stationed in the community will find the evidence.

For some reason, I felt compassionate towards them and went to see the children of the stars.

“Those bad guys… .”

Children of the Stars still has 1 view count. It has 503 episodes, and from episode 349 to the last episode, it has been 1 view count.

1 view, 1 like.

It’s worth pressing just out of curiosity, but at times like this, the unity is so good that it’s scary.

Still, I felt it was so pitiful that no one congratulated me on the completion of 503 episodes, so I left a comment on the last episode.

[Thank you for your hard work until the end! It was really fun to read! I couldn’t stop crying as I watched the main character and heroine go through various incidents and become close. Do you have any plans for a next work? I definitely want to read your next work! Then, thank you for giving me good information, and I’ll definitely see you next time!]

This was an inference based on the summary. In fact, I think that if you roughly copy and paste this comment to other works, most of it will be applicable.

But isn’t 2 better than 1? There’s also the saying that it’s a white lie.

I clicked recommend and then closed the site. I hoped that this would ease the author’s pain a little.

“Huh?”

Less than 10 seconds after turning it off, I got a reply notification.

So fast? Did he just finish it and keep holding his phone? Maybe he was praying for at least one comment.

It wasn’t something I particularly wanted to be thanked for, but when I thought of the author smiling while reading the comment, I couldn’t help but smile.

But just because something was done with good intentions, it didn’t mean the result would be good.

[You didn’t see it.]

“Gasp… !”

My spine felt cold. My face felt hot, and the rough sound of my heartbeat seemed to escape my ears.

I hastily pressed the back button.

Views: 2, Likes: 2.

The final round is 2.

But from episode 349 to episode 502, they are all 1. The number of views is 1, and the number of recommendations is also 1. It was natural since I didn’t click on them in the first place.

“Ha, hahaha… … .”

I made a mistake.

Soon, my body was enveloped in a pure white halo and disappeared.

* * *

“Gyaaaah, gyaaaah!!”

“Guild, what is the guild doing! Are there no heroes! Kyaaak!”

I opened my eyes to the sound of a desperate scream. I didn’t even have time to feel the shock of the fact that I had actually been possessed.

The scene of Abiguihwan was visible through my still partially opened eyelids. Black smoke was rising from the crumpled vehicle, and people with colorful hair were moving further and further away.

“Ugh… .”

My head felt dizzy, as if I had just woken up. I even felt dizzy because the acrid smoke was seeping into my nostrils.

“Aaaa …

baby?

Meanwhile, a baby’s crying could be heard a few steps away.

“Hey, hey, student over there!! Stop, stop shooting!”

When I came to my senses, he was already running.

How could I leave a baby crying alone on the street?

Kwaang─!

I fell to the ground in an ugly state, avoiding the dark, gorilla-shaped demon.

“Huh… Huh… .”

My heart feels like it’s going to burst. The thin black hair covering my eyes is annoying. Every time I exhale, a rasping sound comes up from my throat.

“Ugh, ugh, ughhhh!”

Such pain gradually began to ease with the small warmth felt in her arms.

“Were you really scared? It’s okay, it’s okay now.”

The day I opened my eyes to a world I didn’t know.

The day my life was threatened as soon as I arrived.

On this day, I became a mother.
