Chapter Title: Confession Time
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's time for the Sacrament of Confession. Everyone, please take your seats.
Confession.
One of the seven holy sacraments of Christianity, it's a religious rite where you confess your sins to the church and receive forgiveness.
Everyone commits big and small sins in life.
Humans aren't perfect beings.
We're creatures that grow through mistakes.
Facing your own sins head-on is way more important than we think.
You've got to recognize exactly what you've done wrong to identify the problem and fix it, right?
If you don't admit your sins, you stagnate and get weeded out.
In that sense,
the Confession content I've prepared this time is something that'll really help each and every viewer grow.
Can't call that blasphemy.
Blasphemy my ass—on the contrary,
it's public service content absolving viewers' sins in the name of Reflecting Myriad Stars.
...Of course,
whether I forgive the prospective devotees' sins is entirely up to me.
That's power for you.
Jealous? Go become fanatics yourselves.
Jealous? Go become VTubers yourselves.
And so the content began.
The first guest... no, the first sinner entered the voice chat.
💬 Live Chat — Viewer [Hello, sis.] "Money."
— Viewer [Uh... can you at least say hi first...] "Offering."
💬 Live Chat — Viewer - wtf at least say hi lololol - Money grubber? - Mommy issues much - This is a devotee...? - Religion's doomed lmao - "Pay first" is classic cult vibes lololol Hmph, cult my ass.
Reflecting Myriad Stars is a god who objectively exists in reality, and I'm their Fervent Devotee.
I'm someone with the legitimate authority and position to collect offerings from prospective devotees.
⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ EscapeNo1 donated $80. Offering
— EscapeNo1 [Sent the offering, sis.] "Hmph, 'sent'? Watch your words, brother. It's not 'sent'—it's an offering. Offering."
💬 Live Chat — Viewer - "Offering" written, "deposit" read. - Money grubber mode ON. - Greed pockets huge af - Lmao - Knew she was full of greed, called it - Aren't they faith pockets? - Left one's greed, right one's faith. - Still, $80 is generous lololol Ugh.
See? That's why people misunderstand when you say "deposit."
"Next guest... no, next devotee, please use the term 'offering' from now on. So, what is your sin?"
— Viewer [I... uh... sigh. Not sure if I should say this...] "It's fine, just say it. Reflecting Myriad Stars is merciful and generous. They forgive everything about you."
💬 Live Chat — Viewer - Damn she sells the fanatic act so well lolololol - How's she this good lololol - Bet she practiced cult concept all week freeloading off streams? Of course I'd be good at it.
Because
I have to become a real fanatic to survive.
It's the only way to stay alive.
After agonizing for a while, the viewer finally confessed their sin.
— Viewer [...It was exactly two days ago. My home PC suddenly broke, so I had no choice but to head to a PC bang.] "Please continue, devotee."
— Viewer [That's when it happened. Sitting next to me was a kid who looked about elementary school age, and in a moment of weakness, I...] 💬 Live Chat — Viewer - ? - ?? - ???? "Whoa, hold up! Stop, you bastard—stop!"
I hurriedly cut off the viewer's words.
"That's a sin even Reflecting Myriad Stars can't forgive... Devotee, go die."
— Viewer [No, hear me out! I'm not that kind of person!] "What do you mean no? You trying to go full pedo route or what?"
— Viewer [That's not it, you crazy cult bitch!] 💬 Live Chat — Viewer - lolololololololol - Is this "pay to get roasted" content? - Correct. - Put "only for those who can handle the roast" in the title? - Anyway what's next, dying of curiosity - ? - Dude - GTFO I was briefly thrown off by the confession from the voice chat viewer,
but he insisted it wasn't what I thought, sounding genuinely aggrieved.
...Alright, I'll trust you for now.
— Viewer [The kid next to me was playing a game. You probably know it too, Jia sis. Minas Land.] "Yeah, I know it."
Minas Land.
The legendary RPG where failed enhancements make your items vanish into thin air.
Never played it myself, but I've heard the reputation plenty.
So.
What's Minas Land got to do with it?
— Viewer [That kid... that kid was enhancing. I still remember it vividly. +13 to +14. The little guy was muttering to himself at the enhancement screen, burning through 30 minutes straight, and I got antsy inside. While he was in the bathroom... the devil in me whispered.] "...To press the enhance button?"
— Viewer [Yeah... so I did.] "Whoa."
This guy's nuts in a whole different way.
So.
"Did it succeed or fail?"
Success? Not a sin.
Failure? Heinous crime.
— Viewer [If it succeeded, I wouldn't be here confessing.] "You're completely insane. Get outta here, you psycho!"
💬 Live Chat — Viewer - Straight-up cursing at the viewer lmao - But he is a psycho tho? - Guy's legit crazy lololol - uuuuu trash Me and the viewers united in condemning him.
Normally in confessions, you comfort the brave soul admitting their sin with "it's okay, you can be forgiven."
I see it differently.
You sin? Eat shit for it. Why get encouragement like you did something great?
Probably
Reflecting Myriad Stars thinks the same.
"..."
See?
No blasphemy penalty.
So,
I told the sinner how to earn forgiveness.
"Pay back double."
— Viewer [Double?] "Yep. That's how your sin gets wiped. +14 weapon? Double sounds right."
— Viewer [It's triple, not double...] "Hmph, sinner talking back? Imagine that kid coming back from the bathroom to find their weapon gone—heart absolutely shattered. And it wasn't even them pressing it; you did."
— Viewer [...No words.] "Go back to that PC bang, find that kid somehow, and repay with a +14. Then, in the name of Reflecting Myriad Stars, you shall be saved, devotee."
— Viewer [G... got it.] Surprisingly, he accepted my solution without fuss.
Guess his conscience was bothering him too.
Oh,
One more thing.
"How much is a +14 in cash?"
— Viewer [Around $800? But why...] "Service fee is 10%, sir."
— Viewer [...Pardon?] "$80. Don't pay, get banned."
— Viewer [You crazy cult bitch! How am I supposed to cough up another $80 here! And I only went to the PC bang to watch your stream!] "Not my problem. Don't know tithes? Pay up."
💬 Live Chat — Viewer - lmao tithes ain't for that lololol - Tithe is 1/10th of earnings lololol - Never heard of 1/10th of spent money - Peak cult shit ⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ EscapeNo1 donated $800. Ptooey
— EscapeNo1 [Choke on this and GTFO, you money-hungry cult bitch! Ptooey!] "Thank you, sir. Come again."
5 minutes of counseling for $80.
No, $880 profit.
This is
straight-up profitable.
