The Female Corruption
With more viewers sticking around than I’d expected, I diligently mined for wood. Before long, I had gathered about 64 oak logs.
“Should I keep mining?”
“Is that so?”
I trusted my viewers. Or rather, I pretended to.
I sent a whisper to the viewer who had helped me at the start.
When I pressed E, the inventory window popped open.
“Wow, the inventory opened.”
“What should I do next?”
“Hmm.”
I crafted the planks and the crafting table as shown on the left.
“What now?”
“How do I do the next part?”
“Sis?”
“Wow... if you keep this up, my hatred for men might just grow even bigger, you know?”
“You’re just too nervous because of the men here to speak up, right?”
“Don’t worry! By the authority of this Queen, I command it: all men, get out of this room!”
“Alright, now tell me.”
“Oh, I know how to place things!”
I’d actually forgotten, but I placed it as if I knew all along.
“Wh... no, Sis... thank you for your hard work... I will always cherish your warm heart in my own!”
“But what can you even do? Aside from insulting my nickname, what can you commoners actually do?”
“Fine, I’m feeling generous. I’ll promote our kind Sis from a commoner to a slave!”
I registered the viewer who had helped me so much as a manager.
“Our slave can clean up the chat window for free whenever they’re bored. And occasionally, I’ll grant you the privilege of conversing with me!”
“Our Poppi, are you already wanting to go home?”
“Poppi, from now on, this place is your home.”
I started digging a tunnel while listening to the new slave’s complaints.
“But is it right to dig in a straight line like this? It feels ominous...”
“Ugh...”
I tried to get hints from the chat, but unfortunately, I failed. Still, digging a different way was too much effort, so I just kept digging straight.
“Whoa?”
Suddenly, the floor beneath me vanished. *Splash.*
Thankfully, there was water below.
“Wow... I survived that. As expected, the Queen is blessed with luck.”
Leaving behind the viewers who were disappointed by my survival, I started mining the minerals nearby.
Before I knew it, I’d crafted a full set of iron gear and it was time to start looking for diamonds in earnest.
[Viewer Count: 50]
The viewer count had reached 50 again.
“Hmm... should I end the stream after mining just one diamond?”
“Is this a man-hating room, you ask? Hmm... if I had to put it simply, you can think of it as a kingdom founded by a man-hating Queen!”
“No!”
[Viewer Count: 50]
“Oh?”
“Hehe. You said you were leaving, but you didn't. So, you’re prickly on the outside but honest on the inside, huh?”
[Viewer Count: 49]
“Ah.”
“*Sniffle*.”
“I’ll just find a diamond quickly and end the stream.”
I went to the coordinates where diamonds spawn and dug a horizontal tunnel.
“Oh, a cave.”
I was excited to find a cave, thinking I’d find diamonds soon.
“Uwooo.”
A zombie? I’d seen zombies and other monsters while mining, so I wasn't flustered. However...
“Hmm, I’m out of food...”
I ate the last remaining apple, and my inventory was empty of food. It seemed my biggest mistake was eating the meat raw early on.
‘No, they said beef was fine to eat raw...’
It was my fault for trusting the viewers so naively.
“Now, I’ll try to get the diamond without taking any damage.”
I killed the zombie in front of me, placed a torch, and started exploring the cave.
*Hiss.*
“Ouch!”
My character was hit by an arrow fired from afar.
“What is that skeleton!”
“I won’t die!”
I moved as much as I could and swung my sword at the skeleton.
“Ugh!”
I barely managed to take it down, but my health was down to just one heart.
“Sigh... that’s not good.”
I ignored the viewers’ chat, abandoned the cave, and started digging a tunnel again.
“Yeah, if you don’t meet monsters, that’s that.”
I dug diligently to avoid the monsters. About five minutes later...
“Wow, a diamond!”
I had succeeded in finding the light-blue mineral.
“It’s a diamond! Jealous, aren't you?”
I finally mined the diamond.
“Oh?”
However, there was lava behind the diamond ore...
“No!”
The diamond melted away in the lava...
“My health!”
I died from the damage of touching the lava.
<Hakuryu has fallen into lava.>
“Ah...”
“... Life is shit...”
“Poppi?”
“Even you...”
Betrayed even by the Poppi I trusted, I respawned.
“Ha...”
Since I had promised to end the stream after mining a diamond, I was in a quite difficult situation.
“Um... my commoner Sis?”
“Is it, perhaps, okay to end the stream now?”
“I did mine a diamond! It just... returned to nature.”
I said something that sounded somewhat persuasive, but the reaction was cold.
“... Does the diamond really need to be in my inventory? *Wuwei Ziran*! Nature shouldn't be touched!”
“... There’s no way our commoners are this stupid...”
“Ahem. Anyway, since I mined a diamond, I’ll end the mining stream here.”
I ended the mining stream. I’d been at it for two hours, and I was starting to feel dizzy, so I had to close the game.
“Instead! Since I did fail the mission, I’ll grant you guys what you want.”
I put the roulette wheel on the broadcast screen.
“Tell me anything you want me to do!”
“Hmm-hmm...”
I didn't react to the many comments and just stayed still.
“Hmm-hmm.”
I hummed and looked away.
“Wow!!! Our first viewer, EnglishNumber, donated 1,000 won!!!”
“But unfortunately, I can’t grant your request to die...”
“Hey. If an excellent Queen like me dies, this kingdom will collapse in no time, so for the sake of you commoners, it’s a no-go.”
“Anyway! Any other requests?”
“Ah.”
“Hmm...”
I had no choice but to add ‘Mine Diamonds’ to the roulette.
“Is there any kind commoner who will save me?”
“What?”
“What is the Oath of Male Praise?”
As the viewer suggested, I went to TriWiki and searched for the Oath of Male Praise, and the declaration and its origin appeared.
“So... you’re saying it’s something women recite when they make a slip of the tongue to a man?”
“Hmm... we don’t have such rules in our kingdom!”
I wrote the Oath of Praise on the roulette wheel.
“Any others?”
“Yes! Understood!”
I finished setting up the roulette and prepared to spin.
“Spinning it now! Please!!!”
Honestly, I didn't want either to happen, but I liked the recitation of the declaration even less. I truly hated the men of this world.
The roulette gradually slowed down... and eventually stopped on the Oath of Praise.
[Congratulations! Oath of Praise]
“Ah.”
“Do I really have to read all of this?”
“...”
“Oath of Male Praise.”
“We, the women, declare today before the history of human survival. Men, having become a rare existence, no longer exist merely as individuals. They are the future of humanity and the last possibility to continue the next generation.”
“Furthermore, we declare.”
“We reject hatred and discrimination toward men. We refuse approaches and coercion that ignore the will of men. The freedom and choices of men must not be infringed upon for any reason.”
“We swear.”
“That respecting men is the path to the survival of humanity...”
And just like that, I was female-corrupted.
