Chapter Title: AI) Hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There was really a post in the cafe titled "AI) Hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars".
"…"
I fiddled with the mouse cursor for a moment, pretending not to notice.
Soon enough, the viewers called me out on it.
🔴 LIVE CHAT — Viewer Leader, whatcha doin'~ — Viewer CLICK IT!!! — Viewer I'm dying to know what's inside lololol — Viewer Is this guy framing you? Is this guy framing you? Is this guy framing you? — Viewer Ant-picking in progress. Please don't disturb. 💰 SUPERCHAT 💰 [NotSilverSpoon donated 5,000 won.] What're you doing? Check it out quick—I worked hard on it, for real lol "Ah, sorry about that. It was nothing—just thinking about how to deal with you. Should I kill it or revive it?"
💰 SUPERCHAT 💰 [NotSilverSpoon donated 1,000 won.] What — Viewer Gasp — Viewer Oh no — Viewer Farewell... won't see you off. Truth be told.
The guy who made an AI hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars is one thing.
But the root cause of all this mess is none other than myself.
Who can I blame?
I want to kill the past me who boasted about going ant-picking.
I want to kill the even more distant past me who confidently declared I'd do half-cam.
"...I'll take a look."
Finally, I checked the post in the cafe.
[Title: AI) Hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars]
Post content:
Hello.
I've made a hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars using AI.
Before revealing the song, a few pieces of TMI.
1. No intention to disparage any religion.
As mentioned, the song was made by 'AI', not me. Direct any backlash at the AI, not me.
2. Using AI for religious music isn't blasphemy.
For example, Buddhism holds AI Prajnaparamita Sutra Buddhist music contests and actively uses AI. Not blasphemy, Myriad Stars eyes. The price of blasphemy... goes to the leader instead of me...
"Why do I have to pay the price for blasphemy on your behalf?!"
— Viewer LMAO the god rating lololol — Viewer Anyway, take the hit for me lol — Viewer A devotee's sin is the leader's sin, yep. — Viewer But did Buddhism really have an AI Buddhist music contest? Sounds fake af. — Viewer Surprisingly, it's real ;;; — Viewer So not blasphemy then, mmhm. Don't worry, Jia—just listen to the song. Not thrilled with the intro, but...
At this point, even I'm curious.
Just what kind of hymn was born from this?
Scrolling down revealed two videos.
One full version.
One karaoke version of the "Hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars".
The hymn's title was...
[Re! flect-ing! Myr-i-ad! Stars! (Not a Bitch!)]
"You crazy bastard!"
— Viewer This dude's a total nutjob lololol — Viewer Title alone would make Myriad Stars puke, right? — Viewer This guy's totally NotSilverSpoon for real? — Viewer You're NotSilverSpoon — Viewer Tell us—who's the strongest in the lore? — Viewer This is a hymn...? No way.
This absolutely won't do.
Mission or not, if I sing this song...
It won't be the price of blasphemy.
It'll be the punishment for blasphemy.
💰 SUPERCHAT 💰 [NotSilverSpoon donated 1,000 won.] The title's a bit weird, but it's a real hymn ;;; just check the lyrics — Viewer Focus on the lyrics ㅠㅠㅠㅠ — Viewer Deep lyrics — Viewer Symbolic lyrics — Viewer Lyrics are weirdly addicting — Viewer ? — Viewer Haven't even heard it yet lololol — Viewer Feels like one pervert snuck in midway "No way. I'm skipping this. If I listen, Reflecting Myriad Stars will actually kill me."
— Viewer Not like it's a song that'll kill you lololol — Viewer But why's the cursor hovering there? "…"
The mouse cursor was pointed right at the video.
Looks like my body was honest.
...Yeah.
I was curious too.
Screw it.
With that, I clicked the video and started listening to the hymn.

Heretics calling it "Bitch Myriad Stars" Were personally executed by Lee Jia's hand. In joy or in sorrow, Myriad Stars is with us. Re! flect-ing! Myr-i-ad! Stars! (Not a bitch!)

Re! flect-ing! Myr-i-ad! Stars! (Not a bitch!)
The bloody showdown with Ungleaming Galaxy Was a clash of the world's strongest. My chest swells grandly... ... ... ... ⟨ Reflect! ing Myr-i-ad Stars! (Not a Bitch!) ⟩
— Viewer Holy shit lolololololol — Viewer Out of this world lololol — Viewer This guy's NotSilverSpoon for sure lololol — Viewer This a hymn? This a hymn? This a hymn? — Viewer Amazingly, zero blasphemy in the content ;;; — Viewer Facts: content-wise, it's legit a hymn ;;; — Viewer But why's it so catchy? — Viewer Fr lol sticks in your head — Viewer Banger acknowledged. — Viewer Why's leader silent? "Pfft."
— Viewer Was holding in laugh lololol — Viewer Laugh hold failed lololol — Viewer Ooooh, you're gonna get the price of blasphemy Couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
The chorus "Not a bitch!" in the highlight was just too perfect.
Soon, I braced for the price of blasphemy.
Having laughed at such an insulting hymn, I deserved it.
...Or so I thought.
But no matter how long I waited...
The price of blasphemy never came.
Hmm.
The fact that no price has come yet...
Maybe Reflecting Myriad Stars acknowledges this AI song as a hymn too?
Yeah, thinking about it.
The lyrics are a bit tacky and cheap-looking, but content-wise, nothing majorly wrong from my view.
...Might be okay to sing.
A promise to viewers is important, after all.
Can't break it lightly, right?
Next, I moved the cursor to the karaoke video.
— Viewer Ooooh — Viewer Gonna sing this for real? It's fine.
Reflecting Myriad Stars approved it.
No price of blasphemy means They approve the song.
Instrumental starts.
Lyrics appear.
Lyrics begin in 5 seconds.

"Re! flect-ing! Myr-i-ad! Stars! Not a bitch!" 💥 THUD! 💥 "Gwehk! Huh...? Re, Re-flect-ing Myr-i-ad Stars! Not a bi..."
💥 THUD! 💥 "Jiyaeeeek!"
The price of blasphemy struck without fail.
...I was the fool for thinking it wouldn't.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The "Hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars".
"Re! flect-ing! Myr-i-ad! Stars! (Not a Bitch!)"
Had four verses.
Thanks to that, I achieved a personal record.
8 times.
A whopping eight instances of the price of blasphemy.
💰 SUPERCHAT 💰 [Anon donated 1,000 won.] 8 in a row lololol insane lololol 💰 SUPERCHAT 💰 [LeeJiaGodOfRP donated 1,000 won.] This one's truly the God of Streams... only awe watching ;;; I wish this was all acting.
Despite eight prices of blasphemy, the reason I sang the song to the end was...
Partly the mission, of course.
But mainly, this time's price of blasphemy was unexpectedly mild.
Just enough to disrupt singing—nothing more, nothing less.
Maybe Reflecting Myriad Stars kinda liked the hymn?
Well.
It was AI-made, sure.
And the lyrics were tacky for a hymn.
But it was the world's first—universe's first—hymn for Reflecting Myriad Stars.
Good or bad lyrics, from Their perspective, it was Their first hymn, so maybe They were pleased deep down.
...But if so, why smite me at all from the start?
Unfortunately.
Singing the hymn didn't mean I could slack off.
Gotta do everything.
After that, I had to sing the requested songs one by one.
Singing "Three Little Bears" filled me with self-loathing.
"What If It's Cute, Huh?" took serious resolve.
"D-Blink gah, fuck! Reload or Normalize! Out!"
Singing "Reload or Normalize!" eased some stress.
Whatever.
I kept my promise to the viewers.
10 requested songs from mission donations.
Sang them all.
The result.

Be happy about this or not?
💰 SUPERCHAT 💰 [Anon donated 10,000 won.] So half-cam right now? "Oh, can't do it today. Next time I have..."
— Viewer Aww so when's next — Viewer There it is—that pattern. "When I have time". — Viewer "When I have time" = never ever. — Viewer Give an exact dateeeee — Viewer booooo — Viewer me — Viewer lock (Chat spamming "me lock" variations, implying locking her in or something playful)

And immediately regretted it.
Ah.
Should've just gritted my teeth and said "next time".
