Adelaine de Lorraine's Self-Aggrandizing Debut

Web novel IP-based VTuber RP implementation and a legal risk review for Scalaiive's four 3rd gen members. The debut stream of the second one among them...

...began with a sharp crack of thunder!Boom!

Shaaaa— Countless raindrops battered the roof of an ancient library.

Inside that library. A human shadow trembled in fear, whispering that "it" was coming.

Depending solely on the tiny flame of a candelabra, the shadow pulled out the oldest—and most ominous—book from the shelves and began to read.

The book's preface went like this:

"The wrath of the shadow that painted the night sky... Uh, wait..."

The video froze.

It seemed the narration of this video—more precisely, the streamer herself—had flubbed her line.

"Ahem! Cough cough! Again! From the top!"

At her request, the video restarted from the beginning.

Crack—Boom! A razor-sharp thunderclap echoed.

Shaaaa— Countless raindrops battered the roof ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠of the dilapidated library.

Inside that library. A human shadow trembled in fear, whispering that "it" was coming.

Depending solely on the tiny flame of a candelabra, the shadow pulled out the oldest—and most ominous—book from the shelves and began to read.

The book's preface went like this:

"The wrath of the shadow that painted the night sky fades into oblivion..."

"Even the devil's tears are buried in despair..."

As she read the lines bit by bit, the flame began to flicker and weaken.

"And in an age where no one cares about such things,"

"The monster in the darkness becomes a vulgar joke."

The living shadows seemed to writhe across the book's cover.

"In pitch-black darkness where not even an inch ahead is visible..."

"Something... opened its eyes..."

Only after the final line did the candelabra's flame finally snuff out.

And then—boom-crash! Lightning struck again.

In the flash of that bolt, the silhouette of a woman appeared.

Kyaaaaah—!! The screen went black, filled only with the groan of the man who had been reading the book...

The chat exploded with talk of the trailer's high quality and the streamer's mid-stream restart blunder.

Then the darkness filling the screen lifted, revealing the room in full.

A chamber in black, purple, with red accents. It looked like a noble lady's antique boudoir, but the color scheme gave it a sinister edge.

With the chat overlay activating on the broadcast screen, the streamer's true form emerged.

"Uwahuahu..."

"Someone who opened their eyes in the pitch-black darkness..."

"That someone is this body!"

"The rightful ruler of darkness and despair!"

"Adelai—er, no... 'Adelaine de Lorraine'!"

...Or rather, just a glimpse of her hair at the bottom of the screen.

"How could a noble body like mine descend without proper ceremony...?"

"Praise me, worship me! Then I shall graciously reveal myself!"

A barrage of half-hearted praise flooded the chat, and Adelaine's avatar struck a smug "do ya gao" pose as it slowly rose into view.

A black rose covered the left side of her face. The tips of her hair were dyed an alluring purple, accented by a red bridge. Her outfit was a pink gothic dress... yeah, basically mine girl fashion.

"...".

But even after fully revealing herself, Adelaine's smug expression didn't fade—she just froze there.

As chat buzzed about frozen tracking or a stalled stream,

"Ahem, this body still craves more praise!"

"Thus, ye servants! I command thee to praise this body more!"

Adelaine commanded more praise from her "servants"—the viewers.

The viewers responded with exaggerated sarcasm, or whatever you'd call it.

"More! More!!"

Blissfully oblivious, Adelaine's energy skyrocketed from all the attention.

"Mmm—! Excellent! This body is most satisfied with thy praise!"

She nodded in apparent contentment.

"Thus... just this once! I shall grant one of thy requests!"

Finally, they transitioned to her RP intro.

The viewers thought: 'What a pain-in-the-ass woman...'

A VTuber with the concept of a <chuunibyou mine girl pain-in-the-ass woman>: Adelaine de Lorraine.

"Thus, I shall continue mine introduction!"

With those words, the RP intro PPT popped up.

The design was elegantly antique, matching her room—though the dim blood-red and purple palette hurt the eyes a bit, and it was stuffed to the brim with narcissism...

It was like staring at a textbook example of extreme narcissism.

"As I said before, this body is 'Adelaine de Lorraine,' rightful ruler of darkness and despair."

"October 31st. But 'tis not the truth! Even I know not mine own birthday."

"'Twas merely the date when someone asked."

"As for age, ye servants need not know. Remember only that I have lived countless ages."

"This MBTI thing... 'twas INFP. But how could a human metric judge this body?!"

The RP intro dragged on, but viewers couldn't help feeling puzzled.

'So... what species is she even?'

Shadow manipulation effects, black rose over her left eye—she clearly wasn't human, but Adelaine never explained.

Viewers felt a twinge of frustration; without clear character traits, how could they properly engage (or break) the RP? You had to know the basics first.

As some viewers voiced the question,

"Kuhuhu... Ye must be dying to know!"

Adelaine pounced like she'd been waiting.

"What exactly is this body?"

"Human? Vampire? Spirit of darkness?"

She'd nailed their frustration and addressed it head-on.

"That... ye can learn from the records!"

"'Tis been countless ages since this body hid from the human world,"

"But in the uncountable past, my most loyal servant recorded mine deeds!"

"Behold! Show it forth!"

At Adelaine's command, the broadcast manager pinned a link in the announcement—marked '(Important/Required Reading)', just like with Park Yul.

Viewers pushed back a little. Repeating the same gimmick twice in quick succession bred resentment—what you'd call "cringe."

But Scalaiive shattered expectations entirely.

Clicking the link led to... a web novel's main page.

And the content? Utterly shocking.

The novel boasted over 100 chapters but under 300 total views. Its 7 comments were pure vitriol. Shockingly, it had over 100 recommendations—one per chapter, screaming self-rec.

This wasn't just an ankle mine; it was an anti-tank level disaster. Being free and complete offered slim mercy, but every web novel reader would agree: utterly repulsive.

As the chat poured out hate,

"Ahem! Though the writing's quality may be lacking!"

"That lack stems from mortals unable to fully capture this body's greatness..."

"Now, now, don't curse the author too harshly! The first try is always the hardest, no?!"

She defended the author—claiming her own transcendent greatness made it impossible to convey properly, and a rewrite would fix it.

And... everyone clocked it instantly. The author was obviously her.

Scanning the chat, Adelaine swallowed her rising shame and pressed on.

"Who this body is, and the noble mission and glory I bear... learn it from that tale."

"Surely ye don't expect me to debase myself proclaiming mine own greatness?!"

Want proof of her identity and magnificence? Read the novel yourself.

Still, few clicked the first chapter. Those who did bolted after the prologue.

A VTuber with the concept of <chuunibyou mine girl pain-in-the-ass hack author self-insert daughter>: Adelaine de Lorraine.

Her RP intro wrapped, cueing the superchat Q&A as expected.

Dozens of paid messages probed her RP or real self. Unlike Park Yul, few asked about RP—nobody knew her lore yet.

Thus, personal questions dominated, skewed toward one topic.

The topic? Web novels, naturally—the only reveal from her intro.

"'Twas mine masterpiece from middle school... or rather, when that servant was 15!"

"Of course! The author of <Anonymous Famous Fantasy Series Bird>, 'Dogma Sche Ansunda,' possesses talent straight from the gods..."

"Still practicing... so says that servant."

As Q&A flowed, someone recalled Park Yul's stream.

Adelaine reacted sharply.

"Park Yul? Hah... that insignificant worm?!"

And so, the tale of Lee Seoyun's long feud with Park Yul came out...

"Our grudge is most vexing..."

"I merely coveted her possession, yet she brands me the axis of evil!"

"...Over one ice cream!"

Back when Park Yul passed auditions and crashed at Scalaiive briefly. Lee Seoyun visited for PS5 access, snagged Park Yul's ice cream—and their sticky rivalry began.

Viewers condemned Adelaine for her heinous ice cream theft.

"Wicked?! When this body has toiled to safeguard the world, 'tis most justified!"

Buckling under the backlash, she spat excuses.

"Th-that... cannot be spoken! 'Tis a most noble deed, forbidden if exposed! U-ultimately, she is at fault!"

Dodging, she flipped the blame shamelessly.

"E-ei! Test not mine patience further, servants!"

Under relentless condemnation, Adelaine grabbed her mouse to personally ban the worst offenders.

Click-click—

Viewers reveled in the banter their own way.

Thus, Adelaine de Lorraine's debut—optimized for WWE-style chat wars—was a resounding success.
