A Reasonable Young Man
One of my principles is that a person must live rationally.
If you act based on emotions and impulses, the end result is always bad.
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: S**t, jungle]
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: Even if that’s the case, isn’t it basic manners to pretend you’re concerned when your teammate dies right in front of you?]
So even if the top laner on my team died in front of me, I wouldn’t feel anything.
In fact, I might even laugh.
It’s not because I’m an emotionless psychopath or a troll.
I chose to eat toads and take jungle cooldowns because it’s the rational decision compared to trying to save a dead top laner.
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: 15gg]
I didn’t even bother convincing the top laner for the same reason.
When I spoke logically about efficiency, my team always put emotion first and called me crazy.
The nexus would always be broken by then, and I decided I wouldn’t talk to those people anymore.
The score I ended up with was Challenger rank 300, so I firmly believed my method was right.
That said, I’m not saying I don’t understand them.
I was currently living through the most irrational time of my life.
Waking up and realizing I was in the body of an unknown girl girl was something I could accept.
Why? This trope isn’t popular these days?
It’s the Nongnong TS Nadenade subculture, right?
It’s a genre where young men who couldn’t endure harsh society become cute girls and receive pampering, with their twisted desire for cuteness intact.
I find it difficult to understand, but tastes are diverse in this world, after all.
I respect that. I respect it.
Well, I had roughly guessed that the girl was actually a 24-year-old adult.
That was a cliché too.
If I had really possessed a young girl’s body, the 2D human rights activists would have come down hard on me.
So it makes sense that I reincarnated as 24-year-old Namgung Joohee, a woman who looks young but has no job.
But having 5 billion won in debt on my account is a bit too much, isn’t it?
No matter how much I cursed, I couldn’t hold it in.
It’s 5 billion won, after all. 5 billion.
Under the assumption that I don’t eat or drink and only breathe, the amount a 20-something single person needs to save is 20 million won per month, which would take 208 years and 4 months.
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: Jungle top, come on, s**t, you only rotate jungle?]
[Namgung Joohee#KR1: Yeah]
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: Crazy bastard]
So I chose Rell as my second reality-escape method.
A game where over 120 champions rotate and every match brings new excitement.
The thrill of my first masturbation as a woman couldn’t compare, but it did help clear my mind.
I had come up with several ways to pay off the debt.
First, the most rational way to pay off 5 billion won is to become a prostitute.
Even though the body wasn’t to my taste, its appearance was highly attractive to people with above-average libido.
Straight black hair, the foundation of beauty.
Petite features that could be mistaken for a child actress.
Especially the abnormally small breasts, which would be in high demand.
If I went on an expedition to Japan, I could easily earn 5 billion won.
But I believed my dignity was worth more than 5 billion won.
I used to be a man yesterday. If I had to be hugged by a man?
I’d rather do 208 years of free labor.
I’d rather die than do that.
Actually, die.
Then I had to activate Plan B.
That was to become a cyber prostitute.
I had already gained a reputation as a cyber male prostitute before I reincarnated.
Some called me a 300-view hako, but gathering 300 male streamers wasn’t easy.
The internet broadcasting scene is overwhelmingly male, and guys don’t want to watch a guy playing jungle and so on.
If I hadn’t twisted my body like a jungle lecturer, brain delegate, or muncheol referee, I wouldn’t have gathered even those 300 viewers.
But now that I had this soft and adorable girl’s body, it was different.
Even if my mental state was that of a conscripted uncle, my body was overflowing with fragrance.
I heard the voice was decent too.
This body had all the conditions to become a streamer.
“Now the only problem is what kind of streamer I’ll be…”
I had decided on the first job change to streamer, so it was time for the second.
Cam, no cam, virtual.
All three had their own strengths and weaknesses, but I wasn’t planning to do cam streaming.
If my real identity got leaked, the end would obviously be hell.
Even I, a 300-view hako streamer, had my identity leaked and suffered at the hands of a female stalker.
When I went to the police with that, they said there was nothing they could do before she committed some crime.
What nonsense is this?
If the woman did something, it would be murder or kidnapping or confinement, and when would moving help then?
If I had been a burly man, it would have been different, but the moment I became a fragile woman, cam streaming was out.
No-cam had the advantage of easier privacy protection than virtual, but it was hard to gather initial viewers.
I needed money right now, so I couldn’t choose that.
Therefore, my second job change was virtual streamer, specifically corporate virtual.
I couldn’t afford a virtual character, a U.S.-made smartphone, and a broadcasting PC.
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: ???]
[This is what? #KR1: What the hell is master cam?]
[Whole team wants to eat Nesquik #KR1: Is it really over like this?]
The game ended by my technical backdoor.
There was no way the Bronze/Silver/Gold players would stop my growth.
I had broken the nexus with minimal movement and minimal damage, earning my teammates’ praise.
[Too Hard to Hold It In #KR1: The game was really f**ked up]
That’s how the phrase is usually used in games.
Yeah, whatever.
***
The largest MCN company in Korea, Sharon Creative.
A company that had grown rapidly under the charisma of Shin Ji-ye, the founder and CEO known online as Gemma, who had 1.9 million subscribers, and currently managed various streamers.
Even mentioning one of the streamers under Sharon, such as “that guy” or “Aru”, was enough to trigger “Aru?” reactions.
“Team Leader, if you show me any strange applicants again, I won’t hold back.”
Shin Ji-ye narrowed her eyes and looked at Team Leader Yang Shin-hye.
“When exactly did I show you any strange applicants?”
“The ones who applied with multiple anti-male mentions on their Z accounts.”
“It’s interesting. I never thought you’d apply without changing your nickname.”
“The one who asked if they could get close to the Sharon streamer Yang-ga-nom?”
“Having good compatibility is the basic requirement for a streamer, isn’t it?”
Shin Ji-ye covered her face with her palm.
The virtual streamer launch project Sharon Creative had prepared with great ambition had hit a snag from the start.
No matter how much support and promotion they poured in, the quality of the streamer was the most important thing.
At the very least, basic broadcasting skills were needed, and before that, personality had to be solid, or problems would arise.
“No, these days people say if they don’t write strange things on SNS, they catch some disease? And not hiding it makes it even more impressive.”
“CEO, isn’t that obvious? Being interested in the internet enough to do VTuber means you’re familiar with the underground culture.”
“But…”
“Enough. Take a look at this. Is this really a decent applicant?”
Shin Ji-ye looked at the video Team Leader Yang Shin-hye had linked with half suspicion.
“Oh?”
Shin Ji-ye couldn’t help but be surprised.
[Hello. My name is Namgung Joohee.]
Beautiful straight black hair and an androgynous beauty.
A petite, cute girl who made you want to hug her in your arms.
[I am applying to the virtual streamer launching project Starlight that Sharon Creative is launching this time, and I am honored.]
Contrary to her androgynous appearance, her tone was polite.
She gave off the feeling of someone who had just returned from the military.
The woman in the video had the ability to draw attention.
[To get straight to the point, I mainly play jungle in Legend of Legends.]
Efficient play included.
It looked like she was considering her viewers, as if she had watched countless videos.
Shin Ji-ye had a rough guess why Team Leader Yang Shin-hye sent her this applicant’s video.
[In addition to simply being good at the game, I plan to broadcast logical explanations of the judgments I make to the viewers.]
The broadcast content was appealing.
Jungle lectures.
A style of broadcasting not found among female virtual streamers.
If she had a certain level of professionalism, this woman named Namgung Joohee would definitely succeed as a virtual streamer.
Shin Ji-ye thought that.
[The sample broadcast is attached in the file below. I look forward to your continued growth. I will end my message here. Thank you.]
“Sample broadcast? Team Leader, where is the attached file?”
“Huhuhu, CEO. Are you thinking why Team Leader Yang showed you this video right now?”
“You’re even doing mind-reading these days?”
“But the reason I found this applicant interesting was because of this sample broadcast.”
Shin Ji-ye became even more curious about this sample broadcast after hearing Yang Ji-hye’s words.
What kind of video had she sent that caused the taste for the unusual Yang Ji-hye to say it was fun?
After receiving the file from Yang Ji-hye, she immediately played the video…
“Team Leader Yang, call this applicant in for an interview.”
“Why? Because it’s fun?”
“No, I’ll kill them myself while keeping them by my side.”
Namgung Joohee was summoned to the interview.
