Probably because I'd declared a "24-hour stream" right before ending yesterday, a ton of people flooded in from the get-go.
Fortunately.
No one was mentioning Awakeners or Anomalous Phenomena.
Well, yeah.
The reporters said Yoo Euisul had cleared everything, and the Awakener Association hadn't publicized my identity either.
It'd be weirder if anyone brought it up.
[Anon donated 1,000 won.] 'Why'd you end suddenly yesterday?' "Yesterday, I had a super urgent thing come up, so I had no choice but to end early."
— Anon What was that super important thing? "Personal stuff."
— Anon Boyfriend meetup ㄷㄷㄷㄷ — Anon What — Anon Gasp — Anon Get out. — Anon Get out for real. — Anon Reflecting Myriad Stars says get out. — Anon Doesn't matter, we don't care. — Anon For real lol, who knows the important stuff? Anyway, let's go 24-hour stream!!! — Anon Fact: She ended suddenly yesterday, so 24 hours today. This is bad.
Expectations are sky-high.
They think I've got some killer content prepared.
Truth is, I prepared jack squat.
I just flipped on the stream on impulse.
"First, let's check the fan cafe? Nah, prayer time. Everyone, hands on desk, clasp 'em."
— Anon Gotta do the thing... — Anon KRAAAAA — Anon Surprise worship ON. — Anon Forcing viewers to convert, cult follower (no fabrication) "Um, so Reflecting Myriad Stars, thanks for letting me survive another day, and..."
Prayer at the start of streams began as a gimmick to establish my character.
Now it's an indispensable routine.
Feels weird if I skip it.
After prayer, I dove straight into fan cafe browsing.
24 hours is a long time.
Need to kill as much as possible with cafe tours.
Perfect timing too.
I had stuff I wanted to show off.
"Some of you might've seen it already... Ta-da! Whaddya think? Applied it right before going live."
— Anon Whoa, quality tho — Anon Insane? — Anon LMAOOOOOO — Anon Holy power pouch lol — Anon Whoa body — Anon Fan cafe front gate is gorgeous af — Anon Big chest star — Anon Gotta worship...? Crazy star! Crazy star! Crazy star! Crazy star! The Crazy Star artist's fan cafe front gate was complete.
The gate boasted top-tier quality that'd make anyone nod in approval, even if I'd commissioned it for big bucks.
Yeah, this is what a VTuber fan cafe should look like.
It was way too bland before.
Cafe tours were definitely time-vaporizing content.
Stuff fans care about.
Stuff they don't care about but is novel anyway.
Plus all sorts of fanart.
...All good, but.
Why's the fanart all like this?
It's not a contest for the lewdest fanart.
"Isn't this drawn a bit too big?"
These guys.
Strapped rockets to my chest.
How do human boobs even do that?
Well, I'm not human, sure.
But I look human on the outside.
— Anon Canon accurate? — Anon It's canon. — Anon Lower your head and talk about holy pouch ㅇㅇ; — Anon Bang! lol — Anon Canon solid? — Anon Feels nerfed tbh? — Anon For real lol — Anon Myriad Sis <- If she sleeps, super donate — Anon Super donate — Anon Crying super donate "..."
No words.
Honestly.
This is Reflecting Myriad Stars' fault for making my body like this.
These useless fat lumps don't even help with wiki checks. Why make 'em so huge for no reason?
Beats me.
I wanna ask directly.
Before I knew it, cafe browsing had eaten up till 10 PM.
Time to pick a game for Let's Play.
I headed to the game rec board and started pondering options.
— Anon Wait, no prep? — Anon No time to prep cuz worship ㅇㅇ; — Anon Wasn't expecting any — Anon Freebie? Self-tube. The top-viewed post was titled "Horror Game Let's Play Recs for Jia."
— Anon Horror game... gotta, right? — Anon Horror LP let's goooooooo — Anon If she's got sense she'll do horror for real lol "Horror game? Sure, why not."
Perfect, nothing else to do.
Horror games grab viewer hearts.
Ideal Let's Play content.
— Anon ????????? — Anon For real????? — Anon Just said it in passing and she's actually doing it lol — Anon Sense queen! Sense queen! Sense queen! Sense queen! — Anon You're doooomed ah lol "Quit the fuss. I'm not the type to get scared by that stuff."
Bit weird saying it myself, but.
Me.
I've actually faced an Anomalous Phenomenon.
Even took knife stabs to the chest and ass.
Think pixel graphics are gonna faze me after that?
Horror games are nothing compared to real terror.
"Might just speedrun it bored, you cool with that?"
— Anon Go go go go go — Anon Go go go go go go doesn't matter — Anon Mental battle? — Anon What baseless confidence is this — Anon This horror game is scary af lolololol — Anon Looking forward to female screeches from Jia, super donate lol "You guys said you're fine with it? Going in."
Horror game?
I'll clear it scream-free and boring.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Kiyaaaaack!"
— Anon lololololololol — Anon Scream again lolololol — Anon Nothing even jumped out this time lolololol — Anon Why'd you scream for real just now? — Anon No one knows. Truly no one. — Anon Said no screams huh "Ah... Nothing came out?"
— Anon Yeah. — Anon How many screams this time? — Anon 30 stack. — Anon Delicious... insanely delicious! — Anon This chick is pure coward ㅇㅇ. — Anon Scardiest VTuber I've seen? [MyriadSisILove donated 10,000 won.] ??? : Gonna bore-speedrun it [MakeItTastySpell donated 10,000 won.] ??? : Horror games are ez. Retract.
Horror games aren't scary? Bullshit retract.
Which dev bastard made this?
Wanna see their face.
The horror game a fan recommended was packed with jumpscares—pure brain-off pop-out terror.
Like most viewers.
I'd watched plenty of VTuber horror playthroughs, but playing one myself? First time.
Watching from third-person vs. controlling keys and mouse yourself? Whole different league.
B-but just a bit more and save point...
BAM!
"Jiyaaaaack!"
— Anon lolololololololol — Anon Jiki-yat-ho! Jiki-yat-ho! Jiki-yat-ho! [Anon donated 10,000 won.] Screams sound like '(Lee)Jiaaaaaack' hilarious af lolololol — Anon That's bias lololol — Anon How does a human scream like that lololol — Anon A VTuber whose screams are her own name? THUD!
"Jiyaaaaaaaack!"
— Anon Why is this real lololol — Anon Actually screaming 'Jiaaaaaack' insane lololol — Anon This chick's got instincts. — Anon This chick's a streaming god. — Anon Acting? GOAT content. Not acting? GOAT anyway. Y-you guys haven't played this game.
I thought it wasn't scary watching streams too, but playing's different.
Straight up.
Horror games scare me more than Anomalous Phenomena.
Two hours into the game already.
Figured I'd cleared most, so I asked viewers.
"H-how far are we? Almost done, right?"
Knowing progress beforehand is basically spoilers.
Screw spoilers.
Too scary, can't take more.
— Anon 30%. — Anon 1%. — Anon 5% — Anon Not even half, fr. — Anon Game has 4 acts, you're late Act 2. "...Joking, right?"
— Anon Shocking fact ; — Anon Your choice, tough it out. — Anon It's a 1-hour game but why's her pace like this — Anon Cuz she crawls like a larva — Anon She gonna do this game for all 24 hours? — Anon Ears gonna bleed ffs Big trouble.
This is real big trouble.
Didn't know I sucked this bad at horror till today.
And why would I?
Never had a chance to play one before.
At this snail pace, like viewers said, I'd be stuck on this game for 24 hours. Unsettling thought.
Steel yourself.
Me.
I handled an Anomalous Phenomenon.
Pixel crap? Not scary at all.
Don't flinch.
Push forward.
Straight ahead.
Full speed.
...Hold up,
STOP!
"Jiyaaaaaaaack!"
— Anon Nothing out yet, you lying sack ㅅㅂ lolololol — Anon Screams before anything even shows lololol — Anon (Lee)Jiaaaaaack! — Anon How's a scream sound like her own name? — Anon Steel vocal cords or what? — Anon You're gonna blow your throat, bitch.
