Day 2: Eternal Loop Troll Purge

Was this a believable viewer count for the second day of streaming? I'd put on some broadcast BGM and waited for people to trickle in, and already this many had piled up. It felt way too good.

"Ah, ah. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Everyone, Riee, Riee! Hello!"

I flipped on the mic and greeted them energetically, and like they'd been waiting, the chat exploded. Plus, they must've picked up on the excitement in my voice—fewer viewers than yesterday, but the chat was flying by even faster.

"Ehet! I look hyped, right?"

Was it that obvious? But I couldn't help it. Having over 30 people rush in the second a trash streamer like me went live was basically winning the lottery. And knowing that even after the trolls from yesterday bailed, real fans who came for my stream were sticking around? It hit me right in ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the chest, and I couldn't stop grinning.

"Just happy you guys showed up."

Even my sincere words got called simp-brewing, which felt a bit unfair, but the reactions still made me happy.

"Thanks for the 1,000 won! But uh, can I read this name out loud?"

I shook my head wildly, laughing. No way I'd out the anonymous donor, but a little WWE action like this would keep the stream fun and viewers happy.

"Kidding, since you went anonymous. But seriously, thank you!"

"Planning games today, and Noona's not home! But she's modding right now, so behave, everyone?"

The chat visibly slowed at my playful tease. Was it because I mentioned Noona? Honestly, she could ban at leisure.

One guy couldn't hold back after Noona's message and got banned, but the rest behaved beautifully. Chat slowed a tad more, but unavoidable—otherwise it'd fill with praise spam, scaring off newbies.

"Anyway, today's game is Eternal Loop. While it downloads, let's set some chat rules!"

I'd planned Rito Chess originally, but had to switch on the fly. Viewer count climbing meant gallery relay for sure.

Skip ant-shaking here, and it'd flood with chaos. Some gallery folks level up trash streamers for fun, but the unhinged ones? No choice.

"I just wanna chat with you guys..."

I closed my eyes, exhaled deep, then went full cutesy voice. A 24-year-old dude doing that? Instant death. But me now? Fresh 20-year-old college girl.

Chat sped up just like I hoped. A bit embarrassing saying it myself, but for the stream? Worth it.

What chat did I just see? First-time simp rant had my head spinning—vision blurred, headache hit. Seen tons as ex-mod, but that? And aimed at me? Chills everywhere.

"Rule one."

I fired up notepad quick.

"That was me. Other stuff's fine, but please no over-the-top stuff like that..."

VTubing means some simp vibes inevitable, but that level? Hell no.

"Downloading Eternal Loop first, so let's finalize rules."

Staring at the finished rules while the game downloaded made my chest feel solid.

Meager compared to corps, but strict enough for trash streamer turf. Without gallery randos, I'd probably skip rules or just ban other-stream mentions like other girls.

"Rules set—let's game!"

Lost some to rules, but still packed. Kept banning spammers and ego-posters yelling "from gallery"—needed more purge. Aim for 50 steady.

"Alright, game time for real!"

Screen switched, familiar Eternal Loop loading screen up. Wild part? Viewers dropped hard at game category change and nick setup.

Couldn't complain though. Fun to play, not so much to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠watch. Good I picked showy Shoriichi at least.

"Nick time?"

Didn't even catch the banned chat. What made Noona jump in like that?

Viewers might spill, but gut said asking = big trouble tonight. Shook it off, picked a nick.

"Okay! Keeping it normal: 'Magiri' how's that?"

Noona? Why no ban on that? Solid ban reason, but her call.

"Nah, short for 'Mala Tang Knight Riee'—Magiri!"

Chat freaking over my words felt oddly good. Hating it that much? Nailed the nick. Grinned, hit enter.

"Oh, tutorial right away?"

When I first played, it was code-dump hell. Proper tutorial now? Kid grown up vibes, heart swell.

20 gone post-game-start—solid purge. But trash streamer me doing Eternal Loop full? Nah, even if obsessed.

"Just tutorial today!"

Inflow dying—relay guy's gone. Time to drop this game. Eternal Loop great, but oh well.

Post-tutorial, what next? Good voice—ASMR maybe?
