NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 49
I promise not to send messages like: “If my hand size is 13cm, then my height is about 130cm, right? Huh…! Huh…! Wawkpyahheungnongjjuk ㅋㅋ Heueoeoeoeoeung!” anymore.
Messages like “You seduced me first, you damn…” and “Rather than children, something better is more children” won’t be sent either.
Am I not being disconnected from broadcasting just because people are making fun of small things and using vulgar language?
Please give me another chance. I’ll do better, I promise! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
<h5>–[Since you confessed, we’ll reduce the 100-year ban to a 50-year ban]</h5>
<h5>–[50% discount, what a tremendous deal]</h5>
<h5>–[But honestly, is there anyone who hasn’t sent messages like that? Confess with a hand on your conscience]</h5>
<h5>–[Actually, me too…]</h5>
<h5>–[Is this the police station gathering place?]</h5>
<h5>–[That site smells so bad it makes me scrunch my nose]</h5>
<h5>–[Ah, nongjjukdansichischi]</h5>
On the third day since the Legendary board was opened on LightIt.
That is, five days since her last broadcast.
The broadcast was still not turning on without any announcements.
Legendary promised to return with a better appearance in the next broadcast.
As there was no news about her, such a hypothesis was posted:
[The first time I tuned in, she was suddenly taken away by an ambulance and,
Looking at patterns in her broadcasts, it didn’t resemble public school meals, and there was something strange about her 13cm hand size.
Could she have stopped growing due to a serious illness from a young age?
She never explained why the ambulance came to her that time.
How often does an ordinary person need to call an ambulance?
Considering that Teama started gaming late after three years, it’s possible she might have been in the hospital for three years?
Isn’t she maybe deliberately acting this way so people won’t be too sad when she leaves eventually?]
<h5>–[But somehow it seems convincing]</h5>
<h5>–[Legendary, please don’t be sick ㅠㅠㅠ]</h5>
<h5>–[Victory Wilde, do they not know about this?]</h5>
<h5>–[Pathetic frail and pure young girl Legendary ㄷㄷ]</h5>
It was too much of a made-up story.
Yet, apart from this, there was no other plausible explanation.
Some people started to genuinely believe this theory.
Isn’t Legendary really sick somewhere?
Not mockingly about brain injuries, but seriously sick?
And when she finally returned, she only fueled these doubts more.
–”Cough, cough! Cough! It’s good to see you all again.”
… Is she really not suffering from a serious illness?
–”I’ve heard concerns about me being sick but, cough! It’s not true. Cough!”
Denying it while coughing… Doesn’t that make it sound all the more real?
I needed some time to think.
I was at a crossroads.
The path leading to semi-engagement with society or the path to becoming an internet phantom.
If I were to join an MCN and start broadcasting seriously, I’d inevitably get tangled up with others in some form or another.
Even if leaving the house doesn’t increase drastically, more people would start knowing my name, face, and whereabouts over time.
On the other hand, I could remain as a person who does hobby broadcasts in my corner, giving up a bit or a lot of the benefits.
The corner is safe and comfortable.
There’s hardly anything that threatens me.
“Outside the blanket is dangerous.”
I really have seen a proper apocalypse, you know.
When I was studying in the U.S.
A shooting incident happened because of me.
Unlike the vague perception that any advanced country is better than Korea, America is still a place inhabited by people, and the ‘cool’ culture was absurd there.
If someone eats vegetables, they call them gay, so they would remove tomatoes and lettuce from their hamburgers. If someone uses an umbrella during rain, they label them gay and bully them… Same goes for someone who listens to female singer songs, grows their bangs, drives a car that “looks gay,” or just does anything.
And if a guy watches anime, they call him a gay.
This perception was the cause of that incident.
As you may know, I like anime.
My favorite anime is Magical Girls Chronik. The Magical Fight genre is a fan-game of that.
Although I, who had already become a woman, had no real issue discussing anime,
the boy I befriended, supposedly labeled as an ‘Otaku,’ was bullied mercilessly.
Later, I learned that the guys who were rejected by me had conspired collectively to torment him.
What kind of alpha males are these? Dicksicles, all of you.
Anyway, I found out about the bullying when my friend shot them all with a gun.
American bullying is terrifying like this.
Luckily, no one was killed, but he did make them all become paraplegics or quadriplegics, and he ended up going to jail.
He seemed to think it was cool, smiling at me, but honestly, I had a fleeting thought about shooting him myself, which was quite scary.
It wasn’t my fault, but it could be seen as understandable if someone blames me.
I dropped out of school and holed up in my room.
Honestly, I was scared to go outside.
“Outside the house is dangerous.”
For that reason, I returned to Korea, where guns don’t exist.
Even though someone could die from a spoon, the presence or absence of guns does change a lot of things, I think.
“Still, I don’t want to keep worrying my family.”
My sister Yun, my father, mother…
They might prefer me to go out rather than staying as a shut-in.
“But, it’s still scary.”
This feeling that I’m too pretty, causing everyone to fall for me.
If too many people fall for me, everything would turn into a disaster again.
I couldn’t erase those thoughts from my mind.
These were the things I constantly pondered over for days.
My head was so cluttered that I spent an entire day running on the treadmill at the gym.
Since it was winter, I couldn’t run outside, but I thought the indoor gym would be fine.
Running enough to reach a runner’s high did clear my mind a bit.
But I overdid it.
Victory – [Are you really sick somewhere?]
“Cough, cough.”
So, when I received such a message from Victory, I was genuinely suffering from a cold.
Cough.
Victory – [There’s been no announcement, and are you in the hospital again?]
Coughcough, coughcoughcough, coughcough.
Legender – [Didn’t we say we’ll come back ready for the next broadcast?]
Legender – [That means until everything is ready, there won’t be any broadcasts]
Victory – [Why does it have to be like this?]
Victory – [It’s an absurd way of speaking]
Legender –
Legender – [Is that strange?]
Victory – [Of course it’s strange]
Victory – [But are you really not sick somewhere?]
Legender – [Okay, got it]
Victory – [Then at least put up an announcement on LightIt]
Victory – [Everyone’s worried you might be sick]
Hmm.
Is that so?
Are there people waiting for me?
The board was indeed a mess.
Speculations like “Legendary has terminal illness” were rampant.
I’m not dying, you know.
Stop making eerie assumptions.
It’s a bit scary…
“Why do people obsess over me like this?”
I admit I’m somewhat unique.
A female who plays games exceptionally well.
There might not be an immediate replacement.
But isn’t that all just that level?
Just a channel that stands out slightly among the countless sources of entertainment in this world.
I don’t think my absence would make much of a difference.
Why do they obsess over me so much?
“Is it because I’m too pretty?”
This theory is rejected.
People are unaware that I’m the SSS-grade beauty in the region.
My voice…
While my voice training makes it quite beautiful, would the disappearance of a radio channel really make a difference in life?
I don’t know why people like me so much, and think they should just switch channels and that’s it.
…Yet, I don’t have bad feelings about it.
It’s not like they’re abandoning me for other places.
It’s adorable how they wag their tails while waiting in front of my house.
Perhaps I should send a survival notice.
Cough.
I turned on the broadcast.
“Cough, cough! Cough! Cough! Long-time no see, everyone.”
[Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? ]
[Don’t leave mom, don’t leave mom, don’t leave mom, don’t leave mom, don’t leave mom, don’t leave mom]
[Will you come back? Will you come back? Will you come back? Will you come back? Will you come back? Will you come back?]
Why do these people react like this?
It’s getting sentimental.
Weren’t we just business partners?
I give you fun, and you give me attention, simple business.
“There are rumors about where I disappeared to. Let me tell you, cough! They’re all wrong. Cough!”
<(((((((((( <((((( <
[Don’t die, Legendary Eyes]
[You can’t be sick!]
[Finally, my time has started to flow]
“Trying to broadcast seriously, but there’s a lot I realized I have to do. Cough!”
[You still should have posted an announcement, Teameya ㅋㅋ]
[Didn’t even have a few minutes to check the board? It doesn’t make sense]
[Don’t forget about us, don’t forget about us]
[Like a dog being abandoned ㅋㅋ We thought you dumped us]
“So, I’m looking for a chatroom management manager. I’ll pay the minimum wage. Cough!”
[Why are you coughing so much if you’re not sick?]
[The persuasion lacks conviction]
[Really not sick somewhere? ;;;;]
[Time-limited frail and pure young girl Legendary ㅠ]
“The cough? I’ve been overdoing it on the treadmill. Cough! I caught a cold. Cough!”
[Women who exercise ㅗㅜㅑ]
[Whoa~ the fresh scent of sweat huffhuff]
[That kind of disgusting comments stop! You’ll lose another week of broadcasts!]
[You have great control over the house rules]
[Demanding to be let off? Hold it!!!]
[Your soup-making skills are really impressive]
[How about some snacks…. snacks…..]
[Hmm. Your experience seems questionable. A bit suspicious]
What are you talking about?
Where can you find someone who broadcasts as genuinely as me?
I don’t even know why this is considered good.
Why are they misunderstanding things so much?
I haven’t done anything at all.
(Really clueless)
