It's real. ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Ayase Mitsuko, the host of the Hell Show, watched Lee Jia performing extreme WWE by slamming her head into the ground and thought to herself.
'She's a superstar...!'
She had thought the same when reading the posts about Lee Jia on the cafe.
Lee Jia's RP execution was on another level entirely.
RP, or role-playing.
The fun point of VTuber RP isn't all that complicated, surprisingly.
The biggest draw of RP is awkwardness.
For example.
Say there's a 10-year-old angel VTuber from the heavens.
A viewer asks what her most memorable moment from elementary school was.
The 5-year-old angel VTuber opens her mouth.
"Elementary school... that's over 10 years ago, so my memory's fuzzy..."
- Dude you're 5 years old
"R-right! Um, you see... T-time flows differently in the heavens!"
...Something like that.
Since it's practically impossible for VTubers to maintain RP perfectly.
The mask slips.
The RP breaks.
And the RP updating in real-time is also a fun point of VTuber streams.
Ayase's Hell Show drew its fun from that awkwardness in RP execution as well.
However.
"Grrruuugh..."
From this VTuber named Lee Jia, who was caressing her forehead after slamming it hard into the ground.
There wasn't a trace of that typical VTuber awkwardness.
It was method acting on a divine level, no exaggeration.
Ayase felt good.
It had been a while since a legendary Hell Show guest appeared.
It had been a while since an intriguing VTuber debuted.
Ayase grew curious.
Just how far did this VTuber Lee Jia's limits go?
She thought it might be okay to ask something a bit malicious.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The second question came.
"Alright, second question!"
📜 Second Question 📜 Choose the independence activist from the following.
A: [Photo]
B: [Photo]
C: [Photo]
D: [Photo]
E: [Photo]
It was the Hell Show classic: pick right and you're a patriot, wrong and you're a traitor.
Having binged every episode of the Hell Show, I had fully expected this question.
- 5 choices lololololol
- 1/5 odds lololol
- Traitor or patriot
- Na
- Rak
- Na
- Rak
- Na
- Rak
- Question's brutal lolololol
- Ayase came sharpened today?
"...Why five choices?"
Five choices is too much.
The Hell Show classic for separating patriots from traitors was supposed to be an easy two-option: show one photo and guess if independence activist or not.
The difficulty spiked.
I shot Ayase a resentful glare.
But Ayase didn't change expression and spoke again.
"You have 10 seconds! 10, 9, 8..."
Hmm.
This won't do.
A bit cowardly, sure.
But I have to stream every day going forward.
No way I'm becoming a traitor.
Ah.
Reflecting Myriad Stars, grant me strength.
I used my ability.
A, lunatic.
B, trash.
C, psycho.
D, evil traitor bastard.
The answer is...
"3, 2, 1..."
"E! Master Hosan Baek Cheong-un!"
"T-the answer... correct!"
- ?
- ???????????????
- ????????????????
- How'd she get it?
- Nailed the title too wtf
- Not a lucky guess?
As I nailed the answer.
Ayase and the viewers were stunned.
- See, she's secretly smart
- Educated one
- Not human tho
- Three heads = smart ㅇㅇ
- Three brains! Triple IQ!
Ayase asked me like she was genuinely curious.
"How'd you get it?"
"Anyone living in Korea knows Master Hosan Baek Cheong-un. Single-handedly with one gun and three grenades..."
I recited the wiki entry on Master Hosan Baek Cheong-un verbatim.
Conscienceless, yes.
...But better than hell.
Ayase said in true admiration.
"Impressive... But Lee Jia, the next one's not easy."
Thinking about it.
With my ability, current events trivia like this is a breeze.
Come at me.
I already sold my conscience.
No matter the question, I'll use my ability to overcome.
"By the way, banning current events trivia. There were about three more... All scrapped."
"Ah."
- Kyaaaaaaa
- Normalization is Ayase
- Ayase, god of normalization!
- Dayum Ayase
- This is the dignity of a Hell Show host ㅇㅇ
Damn.
Forgot.
Ayase is an ad-lib master with top crisis management.
The moment she clocked my trivia strength, she scrapped all current events on the spot.
"Skipping third and fourth... Right. Lee Jia, are you religious?"
Gulp.
Tense not knowing what question, I swallowed and answered.
"Y-yes...?"
"What's the most important virtue for the religious?"
"Uh... Faith?"
"Here's the question!"
📜 Fifth Question (Revised: Third Question) 📜 Choose the religion that's not a cult.
A: Christianity
B: Reflecting Myriad Stars Faith
"Ah, fuck."
- Lmaooooool
- Ultimate trap out lololol
- Perfect trap lolololol
- A = blasphemy, B = controversy. Perfect trap
As the viewers said.
Perfect trap.
To avoid hell, obviously pick A.
But earlier.
I took Blasphemy Breath Form 1, Blasphemy Retribution 6-hit combo.
My forehead's wrecked.
"10 seconds!"
Damn, why so short.
No answer no matter how I think.
To avoid hell.
Pick A.
"5! 4! 3..."
Reflecting Myriad Stars.
Surely.
Will understand.
"2, 1!"
"...A."
"Pardon? Too quiet, say again."
"A, A! Christianity!"
"So Lee Jia admits Reflecting Myriad Stars Faith is a cult..."
"Yes, I admit it! I admit!"
Squeeze.
I shut my eyes.
Bracing for the incoming Blasphemy Retribution.
But.
Eyes squeezed shut.
Waited and waited.
No Blasphemy Retribution came.
- Gotta... headslam now?
- What?
- What're you doing fanatic bitchhhhh
- Why no headslam
Damn.
Didn't believe it.
World's first, universe's first.
Reflecting Myriad Stars forgave and understood me.
As a streamer, she forgave this unavoidable situation.
Live long and prosper.
Never thought Reflecting Myriad Stars would understand me...!
Overwhelmed, my eyes welled up red.
Seeing me like that.
Ayase just clapped secretly, said nothing.
The chat...
- Scary
- Real fanatic fml
- Her world's rock solid lololol no retribution guaranteed on blasphemy
- Repented?
- Why so complex lololol
- Complex makes it more real lmao
- Not the RP god for nothing ㄹㅇ
You don't get it.
How huge it is that Reflecting Myriad Stars understood me.
You never will.
...
...
...
The Hell Show continued.
Questions so intense they made your tongue hang out, not easy to answer.
Still.
I answered every one so far.
Now just the last question left.
Ayase.
With the world's most wicked smile, revealed the final question.
📜 Final Question 📜 Choose the one where religion and god don't match.
A. Christianity - Lord Jesus Christ
B. Buddhism - Buddha
C. Islam - Allah
D. Reflecting Myriad Stars Faith - Reflecting Myriad Stars
"..."
We're screwed.
Even benevolent Reflecting Myriad Stars won't let this slide easily.
Admitting 'cult' vs. 'denying the god' are worlds apart.
And the question's pure evil.
Unlike before, not two-option, four-option.
...Ayase revised this live too?
If two-option, could scrape by with some hate.
Forces picking one of three real religions. Diabolical.
"10 seconds! 10, 9, 8, 7..."
"W-wait, time-out!"
"6, 5, 4, 3..."
"R-real time-out! Need think time..."
"2, 1..."
"D, Reflecting Myriad Stars!"
Ah.
Fucked up.
Think.
Brain go brrr.
"Th-there's a reason!"
"Lee Jia, who are you even explaining to...? Anyway, let's hear it."
"Um... R-Reflecting Myriad Stars is..."
I don't even know what I'm saying.
Anyway.
I blurted out whatever.
"N-not a god! Invincible! Strongest in the lore..."
THUD!
"JiyaAAAAAHHH!"
One shot.
The heaviest Blasphemy Retribution ever.
Crunch.
Crash.
Keyboard totally smashed.
Desk smashed.
Monitor screen smashed.
My mentality.
Smashed.
...Botched it hard at the end.
The stream.
Ruined.
