Ffs lmao. — Reply Her RP skills are just GOAT level. ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ A short while after switching the broadcast screen.
I checked the email from Ayase.
As expected, it was about an invitation to Narak Show.
I hadn't planned on applying.
But since Ayase had personally shown up on my stream to invite me, it was only polite to accept.
In the end, I agreed to Ayase's invitation.
I immediately raised my right hand and swore to the viewers.
"I swear. From today onward, I will aim for mainstream broadcasts."
- Main?stream?
- Hmm...
- Mainstream (cult religion believer)
- Mainstream (sudden self-harm)
- Mainstream (divine power pocket jumbo size 12)
- Last one is gold lmao
- What does divine power pocket size have to do with mainstream lmao
Narak Show was definitely explosive content that pumped out dopamine like crazy.
But it came with risks for both guests and hosts.
...Of course, Ayase would filter out anything truly controversial.
The problem was me as a VTuber.
"A VTuber with an obsessive cultist concept and hardcore RP."
That was the public perception of me.
From my perspective, it wasn't a concept—it was just stating facts as they were.
But to others... they had no choice but to see it as a concept or RP.
Running Narak Show with a cultist VTuber would probably produce top-tier dopamine-fueled fun, even in my opinion.
But it was underground.
The cult religion concept itself delved into depths beyond the underground.
For that reason.
To avoid dragging Ayase down.
I needed to aim for mainstream broadcasts starting today.
What does a mainstream broadcast entail?
Not underground stuff like cult confessions.
Just normal gaming.
...Unfortunately, though.
My gaming skills were beyond hopeless—watching was painful.
I offered my condolences in advance to the viewers whose eyes would soon rot in real-time.
First, I needed to decide on a game...
While browsing the cafe's game recommendation board.
A donation flew in.
Ching ching ching ching!
The sound of coins pouring—the first time I'd heard it since starting the stream.
I already knew what it was.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ NotReflectingMyriadStars donated 1,000,000 won. Jia, always cheering you on.
Yes.
A whopping 1 million won donation.
"Ohhh, Hangover-nim offers a million-won tithe!"
- Kyaa
- Wowwwww
- VTuber who's suspiciously serious about money;
- Reaction is peak boomer cringe lmao
- That reaction face lmao
- Is this even a VTuber...?
...Oops.
I think I slipped up a bit.
VTuber donation reactions differ from those of cam streamers.
Not all VTubers do it, but generally, they spit out lines that can feel cringy depending on the viewer.
Of course.
I had no confidence in delivering cutesy aegyo reactions.
I was grateful enough to kowtow for the million-won donation, but...
Huh.
Kowtow?
...Nice?
"I'll kowtow, Hangover-nim!"
- Martial arts lmao
- Is this a VTuber lmao
- Where's the aegyo reaction!!!!
- No song? No dance?
- Hmm... This channel's reactions are pretty trashy
"Um... Truth is, I haven't developed my reactions yet..."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ NotReflectingMyriadStars donated 100,000 won. No need for reactions. Wanna do placement matches or ranked if you're free?
"We must! Absolutely! Thanks for the 100k tithe. This donation in the name of Reflecting Myriad Stars will be..."
- You said mainstream broadcast tho dude
"...No, scratch that. I'll use it for my chicken fund. Thank you, Hangover-nim!"
Lord of the Night, shortened to Lordna.
A 5v5 AOS game.
Common in streamer tournaments and collabs.
Of course.
Whenever there was time to play Lordna, I'd watch Ayase instead—I'd never played it myself, not even once.
The viewers' reactions were overwhelmingly negative.
- What
- Hangover-nim, that's a bit...
- Chairman on the loser's side?
- Kick Lordna asap
- If the streamer plays Lordna with that skill level...
- I'd seriously report for trolling tbh.
These people.
Splashing cold water before I even tried.
"I'm good at Lordna."
- Oh?
- Wait, you've played before?
"Nope, don't even have an account—making one now."
- Then what are you good at ffs
- You kidding me
- This might cause drama...
"I've watched a ton."
No joke.
I'd watched tons.
Ayase's platinum runs.
Lordna streamer tournaments.
Lordna VTuber cups.
Official and world championships.
So I understood the game's mechanics perfectly.
"I'll roll a champ. Heading mid."
- ??????????????????
- Plssupportplssupportplssupport
- Support doesn't look that bad? Just don't play Lordna pls
- This newbie thinks mid cuz Ayase is mid?
- No way ffs lmao
Uh.
Yeah, actually.
Going mid because Ayase was mid.
Her main position as the VTuber I'd watched most was mid anyway.
So I knew mid inside out.
I had zero plans to make Lordna my main content.
But to dip into various games, peek at collabs.
And enter streamer tournaments.
Doing placement matches now seemed like a good idea.
Download complete.
When the nickname creation screen appeared, I pondered for a moment.
- Dgdkgdkgdkg
- Curious about trash-taste Lee Jia's naming sense?
- Dgdkgdkgdkg
- Big one incoming... dog-tier big one!!!
- This is worth looking forward to?
- Trash-taste Lee Jia looks bad? Lmao
Uh.
Hmm.
Why does this feel so pressured?
Right.
'ReflectingMyriadStarsDevotee'.
Let's go with that.
[Duplicate nickname.] ...Someone already took it.
What kind of bastard dares tarnish Reflecting Myriad Stars' name with bronze-dogshit skills.
'ReflectingMyriadStars'
[Duplicate nickname.] Figured as much.
'OmniaArchive'
[Duplicate nickname.] No good.
'BitchinMyriadStars'
[Invalid nickname.] ...System-blocked.
What even works?
- Slo... slow...
- Static... stsststst...
- All bombing out...
- When's the big one? Big one when? Big one when?
'LeeJia(VTuber)'
[Nickname created.] Oh.
Done.
LeeJia(VTuber).
Clean and simple.
- Hmm..............................
- Trash taste confirmed...?
- Absolute dogshit boring name
If you don't like my naming sense, suggest some yourselves.
Besides, Lordna has tons of toxic players, so using a real-name-like nick is smarter, I'd heard.
With a real name.
They won't flame me carelessly.
Though viewers don't know if Lee Jia is my real name.
Anyway.
It looks Korean enough that they might hold back on the abuse.
"Jumping straight into ranked. In Reflecting Myriad Stars' name, judgment awaits!"
I projected confidence.
No matter how trash my skills were.
With all I'd watched.
Theory was solid.
...
...
...
Ugh.
Just theory.
Thought real-name nick would prevent flames?
Huge mistake.
📢 [Team Chat] — MangwondongKnifeChamp: Lee Jia you fucking troll bitch kill yourself [MangwondongKnifeChamp: Lee Jia you fucking troll bitch kill yourself] — TopFirstPickLose: Wtf Lee Jia hold lane idiot [TopFirstPickLose: Lee Jia idiot hold the lane] — MysteryProPlayer: 100 CS diff real? Lmao Lee Jia trashcan? [MysteryProPlayer: CS diff 100 real? Lmao Lee Jia trash?] — SupportOnly: /ff that bitch with us is time waste [SupportOnly: Surrender gg playing with that bitch is waste] "..."
First game.
Achieved the hidden feat of double curse reception.
- Team chat gold lmao
- They're pissed lmao
- Fair enough tho lmao
- Trash confirmed.
The first game's result was disastrous.
0 kills, 15 deaths.
Historic mid gap.
Respawn and feed in 30 seconds flat.
But.
Gaming isn't just kills and deaths.
With this, I...
— LeeJia(VTuber): Did everything why mad? [LeeJia(VTuber): Did everything why mad?] [LeeJia(VTuber): Died warding fair] [LeeJia(VTuber): Died to tower for team gold fair] [LeeJia(VTuber): Aggro pingpong mouse slip death, in Reflecting Myriad Stars' name fair] [LeeJia(VTuber): Did it all.] Was I unfairly flamed?
As I typed in chat.
Suddenly, all four teammates froze.
Then.
— MangwondongKnifeChamp: *************** — TopFirstPickLose: ******** — MysteryProPlayer: ***************** — SupportOnly: *** Carpet bombing commenced.
Aigoo.
I'll live long without permaban worries.
Thanks, everyone.
