Chapter Title: We Are the Legion

One day.

KA Entertainment's official account posted a new update.

The content itself was utterly ordinary.

An extremely mundane announcement about a rookie group debuting.

The problem was the wording of that post.

Did they think they were promoting some third-rate nightclub?

To advertise Geum Taeyang—the future lifeline of KA Entertainment itself—with such tacky, low-rent phrasing!

Chai Mei simply couldn't stomach the sheer drop in class.

BAM!!!

"Bring all of Geum Taeyang's staff to the president's office. Right now!!"

Chai Mei slammed her desk and immediately summoned Geum Taeyang's entire staff.

Group General Manager - Karen

Makeup & Road Manager - Aeri

Marketing Lead - Kim Gyul

Composer & Bodyguard - Aka

Lowly Slave - Kim Minji

All five staff members pushed open the door to the messy president's office at Mei’s call.

"What the hell were you all thinking?! Using this cheap crap in the debut announcement for Geum Taeyang! And at our KA Entertainment of all places!!"

The moment the five entered, Mei unleashed her tirade.

For Chai Mei, the pressure of leading a company paled in comparison to the burden of ensuring Geum Taeyang's debut was a smashing success.

Yet his very first debut reveal on KA Entertainment's official account was handled like this!

Her irritation had maxed out.

It was even more absurd that this disaster happened despite having three Wise Mother Good Wife enforcers—experts in every field—on staff.

"Karen! Shouldn't you be handling crap like this yourself? You know damn well I didn't promote you and raise your salary for this! Did the enforcers ignore orders and go rogue? And Kim Minji! You had that sharp eye from your marketing days—don't tell me you're just slacking now that you're a lowly slave!!"

Chai Mei vented her full fury in a scream.

"So who the hell is responsible for this mess? I need to know right now!! This won't just slide. No way in hell!! Not even if it's those external contract enforcers!!!"

The five women exchanged glances, watching Chai Mei rage.

"Um... President?"

"What? Did you post it, Karen?"

"No... it was Geum Taeyang himself who... posted it."

"Eh...?"

Chai Mei slumped into her office chair with a dumbfounded expression.

"...That's no excuse!! Why didn't any of you stop Geum Taeyang?! Aaaah!!!"

She soon tore at her hair and threw a full tantrum.

Everyone understood her pain, so they just pitied her silently.

They couldn't fathom why Geum Taeyang had made such a decision either.

Meanwhile, Geum Taeyang and Seherian were in the recording studio, laying down tracks ahead of their debut schedule.

"Taeyang. You sure it's okay to post it like that?"

"Yeah. This'll hit big time."

Even while recording, Seherian questioned whether the debut announcement Geum Taeyang posted on SNS would really land well.

But Geum Taeyang flashed a confident smile, as if telling her not to worry.

'A man debuting... it'll definitely draw attention, sure...'

Seherian felt a twinge of unease.

Wouldn't it have been better to promote his strengths more elegantly?

There were plenty of women who went wild for men, but the industry was brutal to rookies.

Men included.

Female fans into celebs already had their favorites locked in.

Often two or three of them, leaving no room for another guy.

Casual fans might check Taeyang out, but...

'Well, it's Taeyang. He might turn even casuals into die-hards.'

Seherian shook her head.

Geum Taeyang wasn't like other male celebs.

He wasn't some guy mumbling an "ah" while women sang the rest and somehow sold albums.

The emergence of a totally new kind of male entertainer would suck even casual fans right in.

"What's with this logo, though?"

"This? It's our group SUNS logo. Whaddya think?"

The round sun logo looked like it could spin around. It definitely had some unique flair.

"Gotta look like it's spinning to be a real Restaurants."

"Huh? Restaurants?"

"It's a thing."

Geum Taeyang, once a Restaurants employee, knew how indelibly tacky phrasing stuck in people's minds.

The meme that once scorched the internet would revive here.

Right in his hands.

I-Came Virgins.

That was what women watching Geum Taeyang's internet streams called themselves.

Back when he streamed, Taeyang never made a fan cafe or official fan name, so viewers coined their own.

Those I-Came Virgins were parched beyond thirst—they were bone-dry.

"Aaaah!! My Geum Taeyang!!"

"How many months has it been since his stream went dark?"

Withdrawal symptoms from missing Geum Taeyang.

His absurd mid-stream dick reveal had turned 100 million women into I-Came Virgins.

Yet he irresponsibly ghosted them to chase idol debut.

Maybe they'd glimpse that perfect cock again.

Day after day, the I-Came Virgins checked his stream account and KA Entertainment relentlessly.

"It's up—!!!!"

"Wooo—wwwww We've been waiting!!"

Good news finally reached the collapsing I-Came Virgins.

KA Entertainment's official account posted Geum Taeyang's debut confirmation on SNS.

"What the hell is this...?"

"Who’s the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠handler?!"

"Advertising illegal sites or what?!?"

The post shocked the I-Came Virgins to their core.

A Geum Taeyang debut announcement that transcended tackiness into another dimension.

"Burn it all down—!!!!"

Daring to announce Geum Taeyang's debut like this?!

The I-Came Virgins hadn't idled while waiting for him.

They'd formed the I-Came Virgins Foundation to tighten their bonds.

United, terrorizing KA Entertainment online was child's play.

"Legion Commanders, assemble."

Empress Tronia of the Kaleon Empire—the secret founder of the I-Came Virgins Foundation—summoned her legion commanders.

Here, legion commanders meant the top mods (band leaders) wearing armbands in each gallery.

They swiftly gathered in the C channel, hanging on Tronia's words.

They didn't know she was Kaleon’s Empress, but she founded the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠foundation and even paid the top mods salaries.

Tronia was the natural leader of the I-Came Virgins.

"Terrorizing KA Entertainment now would be bad. This is the time to support Geum Taeyang's debut! I declare unlimited holy war from this moment! No more sanctuaries anywhere!! We won't stop until our will is done! My sisters! I-Came Virgins! Rise! Geum Taeyang will bless us!!"

"Go! Declare war on the division commanders and spread our will!! The mandate of heaven is ours!!"

No sooner had Tronia spoken than the gallery top mods summoned their own division leaders (sub-mods).

Top mods and sub-mods were die-hards serious enough to wear gallery armbands.

Tronia's military analogies fit perfectly.

They efficiently mobilized their forces (I-Came Virgins) and invaded each gallery.

First targets: other male celeb fan galleries.

Male idol fan galleries were usually sanctuaries.

No routine shitpost raids, no trash-talk or fights.

Gatherings of men-lovers avoided such drama.

Attacking them was attacking the idols—met with instant retaliation.

They'd dox and straight-up kill offenders to keep IPs off the net forever.

Terror raids were rare out of fear.

But not today.

Threats of doxxing and death only fueled the I-Came Virgins—they begged to be killed.

Their assaults showed no sign of stopping.

- Why Min-su simps are low-IQ

- Min-su > All-time lame water rocket

- So Min-su's dick that big?

- Min-su's the problem, so are his simps

And it wasn't just one or two.

The overwhelming numbers of I-Came Virgins flooding in...!!

Normal idol fandoms had tons of casuals.

True fans dedicated enough for galleries were rare!!

But the 100 million I-Came Virgins who'd seen Geum Taeyang's hypnotic dick were all die-hards.

Raw firepower mismatch inevitable.

"Band leader—!!!!"

Desperate searches for armbands to counter with asymmetrical defense, but...

"I'm the 4th Legion Commander of the I-Came Virgins?"

Even this gallery's top mod was an I-Came Virgin bearing a legion commander title.

On this day, supposedly unbreakable sanctuaries crumbled one by one.

Tap tap.

"Bet Min-su's dick is tiny even without seeing it."

Tronia pitched in to topple sanctuaries, but...

"Your Imperial Majesty! Skipping work for weird shit again!! How many fines before you shape up?!?"

Her prime minister dragged her away for forced duties.

Her rampage cut short.

But it was fine. Her legion commanders were already conquering the net through countless fronts.

'We are the legion.'
