Light blue short hair.

And a young woman with headphones around her neck.

Baek Ji-yu took a breath before entering the waiting room in front of her.

‘You said other streamers were coming today, right? I… I’m nervous…’

She was extremely introverted.

She is the so-called crazy gamer who only plays games at home.

However, the people we have to meet today are people whose eloquence is at the top level among streamers.

‘I mean, they are incredibly influential people…’

At least you can mix in a few words through voice chat during the broadcast.

In reality, like now, I didn’t have the confidence to be among those high-tension insiders.

‘Well… Still, I can’t run away when I’ve come this far.’

Fortunately, there was still some time left until the designated entrance time.

Rather than going in alone, it would not be a bad choice to go in together if you see streamers you are familiar with, even if only through a LAN cable.

Baek Ji-yu quietly sat on a chair outside the waiting room with his hands folded.

Her surroundings, which had recently changed drastically, came to mind.

‘I thought overseas trips were only for the wealthy. ‘I didn’t know that it would be more than a trip and that I would be completely living abroad.’

It was like that.

The country where Baek Ji-yu is now was not Korea.

She recently moved to Japan with her family.

Rather than moving, it would be more appropriate to say escape.

Baek Ji-yu’s father was once a member of an underworld martial arts organization.

After marrying my mother, I quit my job and started working at a legitimate construction company.

‘It’s not completely unrelated to the underworld, but…’

That construction company was a legitimate underworld business. It was natural.

Of course, cases like my father were not rare.

The underworld is responsible for many tasks in society, such as clearing dungeons and subduing monsters.

The underworld was also an axis responsible for today’s society.

Until just recently.

‘But now I can’t do that.’

In just a few months, the atmosphere of Korean society has completely changed.

Yooje Song Yuhwan.

That absolute person took all power in Korea.

And the apostles of Valhalla he leads completely draw a line from the underworld.

The underworld was declared to be the absolute evil of society.

‘They even started arresting people who had even the slightest connection to the underworld.’

As it happens, the company my father runs is also a construction company that was highly coveted by the apostles of Valhalla.

In the end, if I had stayed in Korea, my father, and indeed my entire family, would have been harmed by Sado.

Baekjiyu’s family quickly moved to Japan.

Although that sudden immigration was very difficult.

Along the way, an unexpected person helped her family.

‘Junwoo helped our family.’

The process was amazing.

In fact, Jiyu’s family didn’t have to use any effort at all.

Famous members of the underworld, to whom even her father bowed their heads, personally visited and provided all convenience.

High Elf and OriP.I.L., famous worldwide influencers, even met Baek Ji-yu’s parents in person.

– I heard that Unknown has been indebted to me a lot since I was young. So, there was a request from Unknown to provide maximum convenience to Baek Ji-yu’s family.

And surprisingly, Lee Jun-woo’s identity is a named villain who has recently gained a huge presence in the underworld.

It was said to be unknown.

‘What the hell… happened?’

If you think about it, it was strange.

Although we have been together since we were young.

Junwoo has definitely changed somewhere since high school.

I thought the reason was because I opened my eyes to the opposite sex called An Yu-min.

Even at Theia Academy, where the relationship with An Yu-min ended.

Lee Jun-woo began to act as if he had become a completely different person.

In particular, he performed unbelievably well in the academy competition.

Due to Sado’s media manipulation, Yoon Geon-woo became a popular star internationally.

Lee Jun-woo was more of a hot topic among the generation who were familiar with the community enough to look for lintels.

There are also streamers who use other broadcasting platforms to avoid the highly censored YouTube and Tkat TV.

Lee Jun-woo was mentioned on broadcast as if he were a special sports star.

Above all, the Mungseokkkyun crew and Underdolls have the greatest influence on Inbang viewers.

Those two crew members are clearly huge fans of Lee Jun-woo.

Everyone who saw the lintel knew this.

‘In the meantime… my childhood friend became a big deal that I didn’t even know about…’

Somehow I feel like he has become even more distant.

In fact, she had liked him for a long time.

***

Lee Jun-woo knew Baek Ji-yu’s personality well, which was a bit of a bitch.

He was always popular and kind to those around him.

Nevertheless, it was Lee Jun-woo who deliberately called himself a fool for his childhood friend.

Ignoring the suggestions of my middle school friends to play together, I went on a game raid with Baek Ji-yu.

It was all for being considerate of Baek Ji-yu, who had no friends. She already knew.

‘okay. So… Junwoo is so precious to me.’

Because of that feeling.

Baek Ji-yu desperately tried not to cross the line of being a childhood friend.

Especially considering that his face was handsome even during his Geumtaeyang days.

‘For no reason… if I had revealed my feelings clumsily, it would have been more awkward with Junwoo.’

After entering the academy, Junwoo abandoned the Golden Sun concept and became extremely popular among female cadets.

What if Baek Ji-yu confesses to him and creates an awkward situation?

I won’t be able to be by your side as a friend like I am now.

‘Friend… yes. Even if I can’t be your girlfriend… I can be your best friend than anyone else.’

I didn’t want anything more than that.

However, reason and emotion are as different as the sun and the moon.

In fact, as she began to recognize him as a man, it became increasingly difficult for Baek Ji-yu to be around him.

‘Junwoo was popular in the middle class… and in the liberal arts department as well.’

It was especially difficult to watch Junwoo with Choi Hana.

It was different from An Yu-min’s time.

When the two of them were together, they got along better than anyone else.

With a woman’s intuition.

I was sure that the two would soon become lovers.

‘……’

So, like the game-loving girl she is, she hid into the world of games and broadcasting.

In an attempt to deliberately hide those feelings, I poured more time into Northern Warworld.

Then, I ended up becoming a professional gamer, and ended up focusing on gaming and broadcasting instead of studying.

Maybe it wouldn’t be strange if Lee Jun-woo had forgotten Baek Ji-yu.

In this way, he took the initiative and took on the difficult task of moving his family abroad.

[Lee Jun-woo: Uncle and Auntie are like parents to me. So it’s natural.]

When she repeatedly expressed her gratitude, Junwoo replied that it was nothing.

‘Then… am I just like a younger sister to Junwoo?’

Although the two were the same age.

Anyway, Baek Ji-yu’s mind was complicated as she thought about her friend who, without her knowledge, had become so big that she could not reach him.

“Wow, Seokkyunham. That Lee Jun-woo… No, Lee Jun-woo was really unknown?”

It was that time.

A man’s voice speaking in a rough Southeastern dialect was heard.

‘W-what a crew, right?’

Super major streamer crew.

However, the streamers who were full of gangsterism, as expected from people who work in lintels, were the Mungseokkkku crew.

He is like a natural enemy to Baek Ji-yu.

Like a fragile little animal, Baek Ji-yu crouched down, covering her ears with her long, limp sleeves.

Just then, something soft and warm touched her body.

“Oh my. It’s Jiyu, right? It looks much cuter in person, right? Was the cam setting strange?”

At that moment, I raised my head.

It was the voice of a young woman.

It also has a very noticeable upper body. Baek Ji-yu asked back in confusion.

“Who… who are you…?”

I raised my head.

Yellow dyed hair. A bright beauty who appears to be extremely extroverted.

She whispered into Baek Ji-yu’s ear.

“Oh my. Now that I think about it, I guess I don’t know my real self. I’m Yunori. Underdolls.”

“U, it’s Yuno Ring?”

Baek Ji-yu’s face turned pale at that moment.

‘Surely Yunori was an old otaku like me? But the voice is really Yunori…’

I felt discouraged for a moment.

I felt like even my few areas were being taken away by insiders.

However, Yunori is clearly a serious otaku who knows a lot about anime, not just InSafic.

Baek Ji-yu did not forget the memory of feeling like Yunori was essentially the same kind of person.

“Ah. Are you scared because of those people? But no need to worry. The Mungseokkkyun crew also has ties to the underworld. Now, no one will be able to touch Junwoo in the underworld. There is no way I would harm you, Junwoo’s childhood friend.”

“I… really…?”

But Yunori was kind.

A kind older sister or big sister style that anyone can embrace.

Baek Ji-yu could not refuse Yunori’s hand, which naturally stroked her head.

‘Even Yunori… I told you that my ideal male type is Junwoo.’

I felt glum once again, realizing that my childhood friend had become too popular.

And then.

Baek Ji-yu found a familiar face standing behind Yunori.

“Huh? It’s Baek Ji-yu. long time no see. How have you been?”

“Choi, Choi Hana? Oh… it’s been a while?”

It was Theia’s classmate, Hana Choi.

But the moment I saw it, I was puzzled.

‘huh? Why is Choi Hana with vertuber Yunori…?’

After a while.

Baek Ji-yu, who entered the streamer’s waiting room, found out the reason.

Of course, it was a very big shock.

***

Major streamer.

Among the countless people in the world, the so-called major streamers were of a different level.

It is an everyday occurrence to invite celebrities to one’s personal broadcast and present content.

Rather, even major broadcasting stations copy the content they host and belatedly jump on the bandwagon.

In particular, why major streamers are major.

They are the so-called trendsetters.

This means that they can control not only Internet broadcasting but also the trend of mainstream broadcasting.

And their every word has a great influence on the public. Even the image of the underworld and villain organizations can be changed to favorable ones.

In that respect, the streamer with the highest name value in the In-Bang world right now is Mung Seok Kyu.

And these are the members of the Mungseokkkyun crew that he leads.

Ha Ye-eun of Seongnyeo TV, who was once a famous streamer.

I almost went to hell because I had a little problem with them for a while.

Recently, due to strong regulations from the apostolic authorities, the broadcasting platform has been moved.

Rather, the new platform has become so large that it surpasses YouTube and Tkat TV.

Moreover, following the Mungseokkkyun crew, another crew that has a huge influence in music and talk.

Even Underdolls has moved to the new platform.

Of course, before that major transfer took place.

The apostle of Valhalla constantly cajoled and threatened the Mungseokkkyun crew.

However, Mung Seok Kyu rejected the apostle’s recommendation.

‘The Apostle side is no fun. ‘I can’t turn off the aggro.’

The broadcaster who has both many fans and haters is Mungseokkkyua.

And as he ascended to the major ranks, his theory remained firm.

Broadcasters must know how to turn off aggro. That also causes a lot of aggro.

‘Aggro. okay. If possible, like Crimson Teeth.’

In that respect, the last academy cadet competition.

Mungseokkyun got goosebumps when he saw a man in that fight.

‘I found a gemstone. A man who will become more famous than anyone else.’

And just recently.

When I received a direct call from him, I jumped up and down on the spot.

Lee Jun-woo’s identity is unknown.

Because he was the new leader of Crimson Teeth, a villain crew that Mungseokkkyun admired.
