The Fanatic Vtuber Who Pulls Gacha

The world.

Basically, it ended.

One day, anomalies suddenly appeared simultaneously all over the globe.

These anomalies threatened humanity with all sorts of bizarre, unimaginable methods.

Soon, humanity faced an unprecedented crisis of extinction.

Was this how the dinosaurs felt when the meteor struck?

Was this the same feeling the mammoths had when the ice age arrived?

There was no way to deal with it.

No way to solve it.

We couldn't even struggle like insects.

Humanity was powerless before the anomalies, and it seemed as though we would face extinction before long.

…However.

In troubled times, heroes are bound to appear.

The ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠anomalies that seemed impossible to handle began to be solved one by one by someone.

Some split mountains with a sword.

Others parted the seas with a single gesture.

The heroes who appeared in these troubled times to protect humanity.

We call these heroes:

[Abnormal Hunters]

"…"

As I started the game, the PV for Abnormal Hunters played simultaneously with the data download. To summarize the PV in one word:

It’s a spectacle.

As the narration, "Heroes who appeared in troubled times to protect humanity," played, the Awakened characters of Abnormal Hunters appeared one by one.

I had heard the rumors and knew roughly what to expect, but… I didn't know it would be this blatant.

No, why are all these Awakened people wearing such skimpy clothes?

Why the over-the-knee socks, and what’s with the mesh see-through net outfits?

It wasn't just about the busty ones, either.

There was a scene where a kid who didn't look even ten years old was solving an anomaly.

Honestly, it was hard to hold back the laughter in that scene.

Mmm.

She was so cute I just wanted to, like, scoop her up and hug her.

It was clear they had put special effort into character design to catch both the "busty" and "loli" crowds.

Anyway, the game had begun.

It wouldn't be bad to reveal the new SSR-grade Awakened, Lee Jia, right away.

But usually, you have to build up the anticipation for this kind of thing.

"I'll pull after I watch the whole prologue."

Just like the chat said.

The core users of Abnormal Hunters were already typing friendly messages.

Well, they seem friendly for now, but if the new character's quality turns out to be trash, they'll be ready to flip their stance at any moment.

I believe in you.

Abnormal Hunters developers.

Even I haven't checked the in-game model yet.

I proceeded to start the prologue.

Ah.

Is the player's position in this game a "Team Leader"?

It's the golden rule of subculture mobile games.

The player is someone with a moderately high position, and under that player are beautiful girls… that's basically how it goes.

The titles vary.

Commander, Teacher, Captain, General, Admiral, etc.

It's like, if you hang it on your ear, it's an earring; if you hang it on your nose, it's a nose ring.

Anyway, the player in this game was a "Team Leader."

…I don't know why a Team Leader position is necessary to solve anomalies, though.

I continued through the prologue.

Now I roughly understand why the Awakened Association didn't put pressure on this game.

The player is not an Awakened.

They are a Team Leader meant to command a team made up of Awakened.

…Does this even make sense?

You came to solve an anomaly, so why are you bringing a civilian?

If you did something this absurd in reality, the civilian would immediately be hit by the anomaly's mental attack and their brain would be fried white.

"Th, the prologue is interesting…"

Still, it would be troublesome if I showed that I knew about the reality of the Awakened, so I kept my expression in check.

But it seems that didn't go very well.

Fortunately, the viewers were mistaken about why my expression was twisted.

…Actually, it's not a mistake.

There is a part of me that is flustered for the reason the viewers are guessing.

Sway.

[Team Leader, I'll help you up… Kyaa!]

An Awakened beautiful girl, whose name I didn't know, was showing off her flesh-filled breasts to the world.

She tried to help me, the player, up, but tripped over a rock.

Soon, the player's face was completely buried in the girl's chest.

Not showing the player's face is also a golden rule of subculture games, but.

"Damn, does that even make sense!"

I didn't know they would hide the face like this.

Even after that, the player was able to overcome several more crises thanks to the beautiful Awakened girls, and eventually, we were able to solve the anomaly.

Of course, every time we overcame a crisis, there were plenty of embarrassing fan-service scenes.

There was a situation where an Awakened girl in a tennis skirt ran to save the player, tripped, and revealed her panties, and there was also an Awakened who restored stamina, but the method of restoration was to pounce on the opponent… so there was a situation where she pushed her chest against the player with a lewd face to treat a player who had a slight scratch on their arm.

The message [Stamina restored!] appearing was just a bonus.

Mmm.

This game is much more full-scale than I thought.

At this point, I'm starting to worry about how my character was implemented.

When we had the collaboration meeting, there was definitely a topic like this.

'How far can we go with the level of exposure?'

Since it's an extremely male-oriented game and I have a Vtuber image, it wasn't such a flustering question.

The root of the problem is that I just said, 'Just handle it however you want,' without much thought at the time.

I'll have to see it to know.

Looking at the state of a game that goes overboard from the prologue, maybe I should have set the line for the exposure level from the start.

…St, still, they must have handled it well.

I believe in you.

Developers.

…

…

…

After finishing the prologue, the gacha system opened.

"Now, let's go pull."

Since it's a test client, not the official one, it's infinite currency, so I don't get the dopamine rush of pulling.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

Still, it's polite to watch the gacha animation.

The probability of getting an SSR-grade pickup Awakened in the pickup gacha is roughly 1 in 100.

If you hit 100 pulls, you're guaranteed an SSR-grade Awakened, but.

From there, there's a 50 percent chance you get the pickup Awakened, or a non-pickup Awakened.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

If you pull the pickup Awakened at once, you're lucky.

If you're unlucky and get a non-pickup Awakened… you have to pull 100 more times to guarantee the pickup Awakened.

I did about 90 pulls, but no SSR-grade Awakened appeared.

…I ended up hitting the pity cap.

Even though it's free currency, it's true that I feel a bit bad.

Again, ten pulls.

The golden light signaling an SSR fills the screen.

Is it the pickup Awakened, 'Lee Jia,' or a non-pickup one?

Please.

I hope it comes out.

As I click the mouse with a trembling heart, the SSR-exclusive animation begins to play.

A small crystal ball is held in the hands of a transcendental being, presumably a goddess.

Soon, the goddess begins to infuse her power into the crystal ball.

And she injected that crystal ball into a black silhouette in the shape of a human.

The character hasn't even been revealed yet, so is there a way to know in advance?

The Abnormal veterans seem to have already been convinced that the gacha was ruined.

But.

It's not over yet.

There are a total of five male SSR-grade characters in this game.

They were basically landmines created by the game company to intentionally piss off the users.

Especially, one of them is…

…The only male kid character in this game.

Park Sihyun appeared.

A round, super-cute face that hasn't lost its baby fat yet.

A bow much larger than his own height, which doesn't match his appearance.

After checking the modeling of the Awakened 'Park Sihyun', I said.

"It’s out."

"Yessssss, damnnnnnnit!"

I shouted at the top of my lungs, even letting out curses.

Lee Jia pickup?

So what.

Park Sihyun is a god and invincible…

Thud!

"Ugh."

Thud!

"Kuek…"

Thud!

"Jiaaaaaaak!"

…I paid the price for the blasphemy, but it doesn't matter.

Because I pulled my #1 pick, Park Sihyun, from the start.

* * *

"Hehehe."

Ah.

Um.

Was I too excited?

It seems I couldn't control my expression for a moment.

Abnormal Hunters.

It's a pretty decent game, this.

It's a bit of a shame that I pulled it on the test client… but anyway, when the official client comes out, I plan to roll the gacha until this super-cute kid shows up.

Next, I rolled 90 more gachas.

It's the pity cap again.

I hope I'm a little luckier when the official version comes out.

Should I pray to the Shining Stars before pulling?

Anyway, 'Lee Jia' is guaranteed to appear in the next pull.

…I'm a little nervous.

How did they implement me?

I continued and rolled the tenth gacha, and.

The SSR animation appeared.

'Lee Jia, Fervent Follower of the Shining Stars' appeared.

"Oh…"

Th, they came out better than I thought?

The angle looking from bottom to top seems a bit weird, but still, this is an acceptable level.

That was when it happened.

A strong wind began to blow.

["Jiaaaaaaak!"]

Her skirt flipped right over.

The character 'Lee Jia' hurriedly put her two hands together to hold down her skirt.

"…"

Damn it, damn.

I was a fool for having expectations.
