Broadcast Prep! - Operation Sell the Dragon Dick Whip
I fiddled with the item sitting in front of me, lost in thought. My living expenses were running low, and no matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn't find anything worth selling to people.
...Of course, I could probably scrape together enough for basics by hawking junk like the 'Shield of an Unknown Warrior'. But that wasn't the picture I had in mind.
If I couldn't become a hunter... at least I had to get famous, right? Yeah, something like the world's top item salesman—that kind of honor.
To reiterate, what I wanted wasn't money. It was fame.
...Though, obviously, I needed enough cash to survive on.
"Haa... looks like this is the only thing worth selling after all."
I appraised the item on the floor once more.
◈ Description: A legendary whip crafted by hardening a dragon's genitalia. Commonly called the Dragon Dick Whip. It's said to have been made by a legendary mercenary with eccentric tastes. Though shrunken to 1/100th its original size, don't underestimate its power. Made from a Fire Dragon's phallus, it still retains a faint warmth.
◈ Effect: Inflicts fear damage on low-rank monsters.

"...Dragon Dick Whip? Why the fuck do I keep getting these trashy items?!"
When I first appraised it, all I saw was the B-grade rating. I whooped so loud the room shook...
But heaven's not on my side, huh. What the hell is a Dragon Dick Whip?
Hunters live and die by their style.
...Honestly, it just looked like a plain red club at first glance, but the name was the problem.
...If I tried selling this ugly piece of shit, I'd get flamed into oblivion instead of fame.
Plus, just like the description said, a subtle warmth seeped into my hand from gripping it. Ugh, this was seriously creepy.
Still, I decided to sell this trash because of the grade... and the effect.
Inflicts fear damage on low-rank monsters.
At face value, it seemed useless, but debuff items were insanely expensive—that was common knowledge.
And since it seemed like it might have a hidden effect, like the Gumiho Comb, I could strike gold.
If even a halfway decent hidden effect popped up, the price would double or triple easy.
...Of course, it could turn out to be total garbage too.
No way it had some weird shit like inducing sexual arousal or getting hornier the more you get whipped with it... right?
...Should I test it out?
I reached for the Dragon Dick Whip to unlock the hidden effect but stopped.
...With my pathetic strength, I couldn't even swing the damn thing properly.
Even if there was a good hidden effect, I'd have to enter a gate and smack some bottom-tier monster to find out.
The more I thought about it, the more pissed I got. Where the hell did my Combat-Compressed Muscles go?!
Anyway, I decided to sell it—worst case, no loss.
It was a one-of-a-kind item I'd never seen before, so rarity was on my side. Someone would bite.
"There has to be someone who wants this. The problem is..."
The problem was the hurdles in selling it.
First off, I couldn't use the auction house system right now.
Korea's auction houses required strict ID verification—not just signup, but facial recognition every damn time you logged in.
For someone like me with a woman's face, that meant no entry.
So, community sales it was... but that brought problem two: my credibility.
Buyers weren't idiots; they wouldn't drop cash on items from some no-name with zero rep.
Especially not a never-before-seen item like this Dragon Dick Whip.
...If I were still a guy, my trading history would've made it easy.
But with this face... selling even one item would be a nightmare.
"Uwaaaah! This is bullshit! Turn me back into a guy, you fucking alchemist!!!"
I wailed like a madwoman—or madman—in the empty room for a bit.
As I agonized over how to sell it, a lightbulb went off in my head.
...A review stream.
Yeah, the kind I'd done since my powerless days—showing my face and reviewing items!
Well, it'd be more of a sales stream, but close enough.
And now that I had mana, I could even demo it live.
No clue if anyone would watch, but it was my only shot.
For a no-rep nobody like me to sell an item, streaming was a must.
"Alright! No more dragging my feet. Time to make an ID."
Obviously, I couldn't use my old one.
...It was a dead stream with zero viewers and interest, but you never know.
I whipped up a new streaming ID, then logged into the country's biggest hunter community site.
What I needed to do was simple: promo the item and stream there!
Luckily—or unluckily—the weird name Dragon Dick Whip was perfect clickbait.
I snapped pics from every angle.
Close-ups first, then a full-body shot holding it, with stream promo.
Checking the full-body pic, I freaked.
"Wha—what the fuck! I can't post this. My skin shows right through!"
Yeah. I was wearing a white tee, and my pale skin was totally visible underneath.
...Important bits included.
Shit, I'd ignored my chest so much I hadn't noticed.
...No other clothes fit anyway, thanks to these overwhelming tits.
...This useless, trashy body was zero help in my life.
"Haa, so annoying..."
No choice—I re-shot, covering with my hand as best I could.
One hand on the whip, one on my chest: a super awkward pose.
...It filled me with massive self-loathing, but what else could I do?
"Fuck it! It'll work out somehow."
I made a community ID and started posting.
Hello! First time greeting everyone here on the community.
Just wanted to sell an item I recently got. I guarantee it's a super rare one you've never seen before.
Seeing is believing, so here's the appraised effect first.
Yeah, the name's a bit weird... but it's a precious debuff item!
Haven't used it yet, so no clue on hidden effects.
Here's the full-body equip shot.
Of course, I'm not just posting pics and ghosting!
Two days from now, 7 PM—I'll demo it live on stream, so come check it out if interested.

"Phew... that should do it?"
Shared the effect, detailed pics—seemed solid.
Now, prep for my first stream.
Luckily, I had all the gear; just needed undies and casual clothes.
...Couldn't stream with see-through skin.
If I did, I'd get perma-banned by mods, and my vid would spread like wildfire in shady corners.
Ugh, hard pass.
And... as much as I hated it—time for a bath.
I'd been avoiding it 'cause I couldn't face my body, but now it was too gross to ignore.
Alright, it's late—crash for the night.
Handle everything tomorrow.
The next day.
I woke up and checked my community post—only to be floored.
The whole site was flooded with talk about me.
