Choi Do-hyeon, 23 years old.

An orphan, a high school graduate, and an ordinary convenience store part-timer who has been following a streamer for over a year.

Yes, this is my reality.

“Welcome.”

“The way you speak at your part-time job is rude.”

“So, I’m working part-time at a place like this.”

I’ve never greeted someone in a particularly rude way, but I can now move on from that.

When I first started working, there were times when I got hurt by things like that.

But it’s been a little over a year since I’ve been doing this, and having met most people, I find things like that cute.

“It is 5,300 won.”

After paying the bill and the customer leaving, we refill the logistics, clean the store, and rearrange the disorganized displays.

If you repeat these things, the work will be completed in about 8 hours.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

The daily routine of going home after the store manager arrives for your shift is repeated.

I’m not a very ambitious person, so sometimes I’ve even heard the store manager ask me if I should try to become a store manager in the future.

“Oh! Today’s video was made well.”

There is something else I really want to do.

“I wonder if Dayeon will praise me again today.”

Becoming a YouTube editor.

Of course, the reality is that it is difficult to make a living right now to learn something professionally, so it is difficult to find the time or spend the money to learn editing skills.

So all I’m doing is making fan videos by crudely editing my favorite streamer’s labang.

“Oh, I want to change my computer.”

In fact, it is a luxury to change the computer for my subject.

I didn’t buy this computer for myself, but I received it in lieu of my salary when the PC room I used to work at went bankrupt.

At that time, I even thought about selling it…

It was around that time that I couldn’t sell my passion for editing alone and started trying my hand at editing programs.

“Hehehe.. let’s sleep.”

To be honest, it was ridiculous to use a computer instead of money, but whatever.

But now that I have a computer like that, I can make fan videos and even dream about it.

Moreover, by chance, I met a good boss and now I am able to work 8 hours a day, receive weekly holiday allowance, and even receive higher hourly wages than others, so I can live without worrying about living expenses.

I think I should be able to live without any worries at this level, but why is my head always so noisy?

“I want to live just editing without worrying.”

With a good computer and a decent video editor.

If possible, it would be better if I could become an editor for my favorite streamer, Dayeon.

Of course, dreams and reality are different, and the moment you become an editor rather than just a fan, you may lose your sense of virtue.

Still, isn’t it something that everyone dreams of at least once?

Working next to someone you like and admire.

“Um…”

Toss and turn this way, toss and turn that way.

I toss and turn hard, but I can’t sleep.

These days, I feel like I’m just getting older without doing anything.

Well, you might say that 23 years old is too young to say something like that, but that’s not true either.

An orphan with no parents or relatives to rely on.

I will have to live for another 80 years, and during that time, I will have to take full responsibility for my life alone.

Why have I been alone for 80 years?

That’s right, there’s no way anyone would marry someone like me.

“..please.. come, sleep.”

I have to go to work tomorrow too.

To be honest, it’s a bit dangerous to sleep any later than this.

You can’t be cut off by worrying about the places you go to well.

Okay, let’s sleep.

If I sleep, morning will come again.

A morning like always.

***

I thought so.

The same morning as always comes, and I hope that morning will repeat itself. After 80 years, I can close my eyes comfortably.

I just thought I would live that kind of life.

“…But what is this…”

A hologram window appeared before my eyes.

A situation that anyone can think of, like a game or a novel.

I never dreamed that such a situation would happen to me…?

[Your abilities have been awakened! ]

[The status window function is unlocked. ]

[Skill function is unlocked. ]

[ Tutorial is available. ]

[The daily quest has arrived. ]

Things like awakening an ability or unlocking the status window.

Isn’t this a situation that everyone has only seen in novels or comics?

Awaken and become a hero!

Become a hero and defeat all monsters!

uh? That’s how you get money, women, and the world!

“No, but where in the world is there a monster?”

With the appearance of the confusing hologram window in the morning, I wonder if the world has also experienced change! I looked up the news and searched hard while thinking about this, but I couldn’t even see the letter L of the monster.

It’s just an ordinary world like yesterday.

“Then it looks like you’re not the one with the monsters. Hmm, is it the signboard?”

Yeah, whatever. That doesn’t mean there aren’t awakened characters without monsters.

Although there are no monsters, there are certainly modern fantasy stories about fighting and overcoming the monsters of the world and winning money, women, and the world!

If you think about it that way, it might actually be a good thing.

You suddenly awaken and fight a monster.

There’s no way something like that would be possible, right?

“Where, where.. Let’s check first. So, what on earth is this body’s ability..! Status window open!”

[Status Window]

Name: Choi Do-hyeon

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Edit: 15 Speed: 10

Planning: 5 Attraction: 10

Perhaps in response to the word status window, the messages in front of my eyes disappear and a translucent, square status window appears in front of my eyes.

“Editing, planning…? speed? What is the charm?”

Editing, planning, and speed.

No matter how you look at these three things, they seem to be stats related to editing work related to YouTube.

Although speed is comprehensive, you can probably see that increasing this speed is connected to editing and planning.

“But editing aside, where did the planning suddenly come from?”

In fact, it’s not that I was a little disappointed because there wasn’t anything special.

However, rather than just being disappointed, I feel like my heart is pounding a little now because it is clear that this is a stat that can help me achieve what I had hoped and dreamed of.

But, editing aside, I don’t know why the planning suddenly came out at the same time.

I just want to live as an editor, I don’t want to become a YouTuber or anything like that.

“Isn’t it..?”

In the end, the ultimate goal of living as an editor was to raise YouTubers with my own hands, like the ultimate goal latent in my subconscious that I didn’t know about…?

Tiriri-! Tiriririri-!

“Oh, I’m going to be late..!”

It’s great that the status window has been awakened, but now is not the time to do this.

If you are late for work, a bad situation may arise where the full-time person has to work more.

First of all, get ready and go to work first, then take care of some customers.

After that, I decide to take a closer look.

***

“Goodbye!”

Today, I greet the guests in a slightly brighter tone than usual.

It was clear that the fact that my heart had been pounding continuously since morning was not just because I had been so busy just moments before.

“Phew.”

The customers are all gone, and since it’s already past rush hour, it’s usually quiet until lunch.

I decided to take advantage of this opportunity to properly check my abilities.

I looked at the status window earlier, but I didn’t see it properly, so let’s start with the status window one more time…

[Status Window]

Name: Choi Do-hyeon

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Edit: 15 Speed: 10

Planning: 5 Attraction: 10

Honestly, there is no need to look at the name, age, or gender.

The abilities in the status window that I opened to see the abilities properly…

It’s definitely a bit miserable.

“Planning is at the level of nothing.”

Considering that the basic stats in games usually start at 10, the only thing worth looking at is the editing.

“Hmm..”

It would be nice to be able to see and do things like other people’s status windows.

In fact, the fact that the game’s base stat is 10 only applies in games.

I really want to see things like basic stats in real life.

Tiring~

“Ah, welcome..?”

While I was lost in the status window and worrying, a customer walked into the convenience store.

“..Why do you look at it like that? Is there something on my face?”

[Status Window]

Name: Jinsu Kim

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Drinking: 33 Behavior: 22

[ Talent ]

I like alcohol

Do you behave well?

Not only the status window but also a strange talent began to appear next to the customer.

“Hey?”

“Oh, sorry! No, I didn’t put anything on it..!”

No, I was really surprised.

How many people did I see on my way to work at the convenience store, and how many customers did I turn away? Why did I suddenly start seeing someone else’s status window when I couldn’t see anything until now?

Of course, I’m curious, so I keep glancing at the status window…

Is this something I can see because I have my status window turned on?

To see other people’s status windows, do I have to turn on the status window like this?

If that’s true, it’s a bit uncomfortable.

[Status window individual pop-up: OFF]

I thought that if things continued like this, the day I turn on the status window from outside, all I would see in front of my eyes would be a blue translucent window.

“Hmm.. I see.”

There is a blinking text next to the status window as if to indicate that a system for individual pop-ups is in place.

It’s like, ‘Yeah, I knew it would be uncomfortable. So, did you prepare this function?’ As I said, I turned the prepared individual pop-ups from OFF to ON.

“How does it work?”

First of all, when I turned off my status window, I noticed that the status window to the side of the man was still floating, unlike when other people’s status windows were not visible when there was no status window.

“Oh, something like this.”

It’s definitely comfortable.

I thought that if I could individually adjust the status window, it would be possible to bring it here and view it, so I tried pulling the status window.

Trying out various things.

Well, that customer may look like a crazy person, but…

What should I do? You learn things like this by doing them yourself, right?

I realized that it was possible to drag it forward so that I could see it more easily than I thought, and that it was even possible to turn the status window on and off for people who were a little further away.

Only then did I begin to carefully look at the customer’s status window.

“What is drinking..”

When you think of stats in general, you might think of things like strength, agility, intelligence, or something like that.

But the status window I got shows some pretty creative and original things.

“Are you showing stats related to talent?”

No matter how you look at it, the talent for liking alcohol and the drinking stat are connected.

Looking at the stats matching the other talents below, it seemed to display the stats related to the other person’s talent.

[You learned the status window on your own without a tutorial! ]

[ Achievement achieved! ]

[ 1pt will be paid as compensation. ]
