Chapter Title: They're Trying to Socially Assassinate Me!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to socially assassinate me!!!
Male low-tier streamers, in other words, low-tier cheater suspects, were the kind of bait that cooled off incredibly quickly.
To begin with, it was extremely rare for low-tier cheater bait to keep rolling along vigorously.
'In reality, even if it made the news, it'd barely get a mention before dying down.'
The vast majority of people in internet broadcasting communities were already fans of the big streamers.
They were too busy rolling bait for their favorite broadcasters to bother with some streamer they didn't even care about.
No, they were already busy laughing and chatting while watching their favorite streamer broadcast.
Would they cut into that time to hype up low-tier cheater suspicions? No way.
On top of that.
'No, to start with... there isn't just one gallery.'
Internet broadcasting communities were horrifyingly numerous in variety.
For example, if a community popped up related to the Garden streaming platform.
At first, people would flock there, then factions would split off, they'd fight and divide, repeating the cycle.
Garden Streaming Minor Gallery.
Garden Streaming Mini Gallery.
Garden Virtual Streaming Minor Gallery.
Garden Virtual Streaming Mini Gallery.
Garden Internet Broadcasting Minor Gallery.
Garden Broadcasting Minor Gallery.
Garden Internet Broadcasting Minor Gallery.
Communities like that just kept multiplying like rabbits.
But even if you rolled low-tier cheater bait there, how far would it go?
'One or two galleries at most...'
Darantta was pretty active in real life, so he was the one getting anxious about it.
From my perspective, there was truly nothing to worry about.
Of course, even so.
'Just in case, I'll leave the forensics to them.'
Assuming the worst-case scenario, I sent the computer I was currently using to a forensics company.
'I've been wondering when to upgrade my PC anyway, so might as well do it now.'
The computer from EV Lady—after getting it, I'd been too lazy to switch over and hadn't used it.
Now that the perfect opportunity had arisen, I could finally run a wider variety of games at max settings.
So.
'This should really settle it.'
Once the forensics report came back clean, it was done.
That was the plan as I tried to squeeze in a nap.
> Hey, a sniping stream popped up targeting you
> (link)
> Haemul-rogo? Whatever, this guy's sniping you?
One low-tier streamer started buzzing like a mosquito.
Average viewers around 123.
No, he should be focusing on growing his stream through his own efforts.
Does it make sense for a low-tier streamer—and a male one at that—to start a sniping stream against another male low-tier?
Just to pull some attention and grab a bit of aggro?
'Crazy bastard.'
This, I couldn't ignore.
But I didn't rush into his stream like a noob and spam chat, or contact him directly.
That would've been truly stupid and would've just boosted his stream.
'Low-tiers banding together—what could they even achieve?'
Just like beggars huddling up couldn't produce anyone more successful than a king beggar.
Rubbing up against other low-tiers or retaliating directly was about the dumbest thing possible.
So I cleanly reported it to Garden and PUBG support.
And the moment I got their response, I hurried to the bar.
Even so, pulling this during a collab would've been a nuisance.
PUBG support, in particular, didn't seem inclined to let it slide.
They were already on a rampage cracking down on cheaters lately.
They were even threatening to drag caught cheaters to court and sue them for business interference.
For some low-tier to dare pull cheater aggro and damage the game's credibility?
PUBG absolutely wouldn't tolerate that.
And so.
『Your broadcast has been suspended for violating Garden's terms of service.』
Haemul-rogo's stream got banned in real time.
- Whoa what
- Controversy ends super fast lololololololol
- Not even confirmed cheating, just suspicion, but he acts like it's confirmed, what a dick lol
- Should be helping each other out in the same industry, but nah, first thing he does is dig for dirt lolol
- Don't even care who it is lol
- Mungki's thighs tho fuuuuck
- No wonder Dalgeun naturally gives up the center seat
- But what's that slight bulge on the left side of Mungki's Nike pants? Hands not even in pockets?
- Uh huh
- Makes sense why he mains Lynx lol
- Big dick sniper master lololololololol
The chat vibe shifted completely from before, heating up.
Alright, now let's get into the real drinking and fun.
++++
Animals can't escape the shackles of instinct.
And that instinct shows most clearly in two situations: love and fear.
Reproduction and survival.
In those two scenarios, animals unconsciously alter their behavior.
She unconsciously exposes her nape toward the male.
Gulp.
Suddenly tense, swallowing saliva.
"Haha, Mungki, seeing you in person blows the cam away, doesn't it? Guys, you all gotta see Mungki irl someday."
Awkward laughs while saying things he wouldn't normally say.
After Mungki arrived, a tension utterly different from the hack spam chats flowed through the room.
'Crazy, right?'
Jjining kept stealing glances at Mungki sitting next to her.
Honestly, his outfit was the kind that screamed outdated.
The teddy bear T-shirt was stretched out at the neck, and the Nike shorts gave off full gym clothes vibes.
But.
'My eyes won't stay fixed, damn it... why is this happening!'
Her gaze kept drifting to that stretched neckline.
Jjining couldn't understand why she was like this herself.
'...Not now, but later... if we really get close... I should ask if I can touch his chest.'
She instantly got why Peggy groped Captain America's pecs.
'Don't look! Absolutely don't look there, snap out of it! If your gaze lingers, he'll feel it!'
Why the hell did those pecs have to be so huge, adding curves even to the teddy bear shirt.
And the combo from tendons on the back of his hand flowing into thick wrists, forearms, and biceps was straight-up unfair.
'Have I... ever liked a guy's body... this much, like this? That's not me!'
A primal physique that tensed up and flustered the person next to him.
Bavin was going through the exact same thing.
'Ugh, gonna lose it.'
Having streamed longer than Jjining, she'd collabed with tons of people and seen plenty of hot male cams.
But this was a first.
'It's like "MAN" is tattooed on his forehead.'
Every single movement drew the eyes inescapably.
Just now, as he reached for tissues this way.
She'd unconsciously reached out too, nearly grabbing his hand.
And.
"...Mungki, you do workouts and stuff, right?"
"Yes, nothing advanced, but I do enough to protect my body... lightly."
Even Dalgeun's demeanor wasn't his usual self.
Dalgeun had survived as a big streamer for years.
He could chat effortlessly with strangers and make drinking sessions feel natural.
But the way he was treating Mungki now.
'Felt like handling a dangerous wild animal... what do you even call it? Not a man, a male?'
To Bavin, he seemed incredibly cautious.
Made sense—maybe no low-tier had ever squashed hack suspicions so cleanly before.
'Jjining's turned full girly, and me too...'
Just sitting there dominated the vibe.
The silver lining: they weren't the only ones picking up on it.
- Mungki's aura what is it
- Casual clothes but muscles popping lol
- Isn't this insane?
- Anyone else catch that slight bat outline on Mungki's Nike shorts earlier? For real do not
- Nah, there's a Lynx between his legs I swear?
- But damn he's insanely handsome
- Not just handsome, the body's killer lololololol
- How do you even describe this
- Like seeing a handsome Silverganu—terrifying but wanna get close
- Fr fr lololololololol
- Yeah exactly like a handsome Silverganu lolololol face is top-tier pretty boy 100%
- But body's pure Silverganu terrifying
- Like it'll kill you if you mess with it, and the outfit's peak normie wear
- Teddy bear tee on that body? Lmao
Viewers clocked the vibe instantly.
Anyone with eyes had no choice.
It was like an alien species crash-landed.
"Mungki, you drink much?"
"Just enough to match the mood."
- We're fucked, that's pro drinker talk
- "Match the mood" < I won't die till you do lololol
- Real booze whale trait) Doesn't know their own limit lololololol
- Doesn't say bottle counts, just matches mood < Chugs through wrestling team dinners easy
- Look at the body, alcohol tolerance built different
Couldn't let the mood stay stiff forever, though.
So under Dalgeun's lead, the drinking started.
"It's a bar, but the sides are killer... tons of meal-worthy ones too."
"Oh really? Since I'm buying anyway, let's order big. Two chickens to start!"
"Mungki! Since you're buying, I'll get the fruit platter I never splurge on!"
"...Dalgeun, I'm not made of money."
"I like 'em with the liver extracted."
- 5000 won soju) Tolerable
- 8000 won peaches < Bastards can't resist lolololol
- 15k fruit platter < Order that and die
- Dalgeun crossing lines ㄷㄷㄷ
- Why risk it with Mungganu? Big streamer balls? Daring at fist range?
- Mungganu confirmed lololololololol
- Heard Mungganu flicks tongue when pissed
- Mung Hodong ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
- But that physique lol beyond Asian levels
- Does bodybuilding? Check the shape
The drinking itself wasn't anything special.
"But damn, Jjining sucked so bad, started crying and shit?"
"I tried my best! Even cried doing it!"
"So Mungki goes, huh? What'd he say? Some philosopher quote?"
"...Socrates, no but seriously, first guy I've ever heard say that while I was crying."
- Mungki answer
- First time she saw it
- Apologize
"Sorry. Wasn't trying to be mean, it's just the mood..."
"I know, I get it! I wasn't asking for an apology, Mungki—if you get serious now, it kills the vibe!"
"Right? Women's tears are like sweat after all."
"...Mungki, too much!"
- Lmaoooooooooooo
- Apology? Send flowers lolol
- Wait, not asking for apology? Means I can hit harder?
- Dude's thought process different lolololol
- Mungki's true Alpaeno mail
- Tetomung lolol
- Mungtomale
- Laughing through tears while drinking in this sitch—real composure lolololol
- Mentions girl crying again and he's like ~nah I'ma eat this drumstick bye lololololol
Just venting about how brutal the PUBG mission was, who carried, whose mistakes piled up, laughing and chatting.
- But y'all staring at Mungki's body too much lolololol
- Hilarious how Mungki obliviously demolishes sides
- Side killer
- Fact) Booze killer too
- Damn, eating and drinking like a beast? Total bandit vibes lolol
- Bandit king aura on point lololololol
Being a post-game afterparty kept things from getting too deep.
Just swapping stories like "that was brutal, good job" laughs and chats.
Until time got late.
"Guys, let's wrap up."
- Already?
- What already, 2 hours at bar no 2nd round is solid
- Fair lol
- Push further and girls go nuts, why bother
- Gotta manage the girlcams' image lol
- Today broth bros horns snapped once? Stay quiet if not lol
- Better than drunk slip-ups yeah
Angle it chill, show the bill and exit, then end stream.
"But Dalgeun, I'm new to streaming, so... why show the exit before ending?"
"Ah, Mungki, you don't know the abyss yet. If you end inside the bar, they think you're plotting weird shit or secretly continuing off-stream—some even track down the place. Cleaner this way to avoid those psychos."
"..."
I thought I knew how the streaming world worked.
But Mungki realized night streams were riskier than expected.
'Makes sense—viewers show up for those cross-country marches too.'
They like it, so no issues.
But someone with real malice? Disaster.
'Tough world.'
With that thought, as they dispersed, Mungki headed straight to the PC bang.
Forensics results later,
Not cheating? One solo PC bang session proves it.
'Do this... tomorrow's concert rehearsal already? Schedule's insane.'
Day 1 hack suspicion.
Day 2 hack suspicion cleared.
Day 3 concert rehearsal—for real, forced march what.
+++++++
GTA Yorang Garden server concert rehearsal day.

Basic back-and-forth with viewers once live.
Naturally hopped into GTA server.
Not the main Yorang Garden server this time.
Dedicated one for concert rehearsal.
"Hello! Mungki here!"
-"Mungha!"
- "Mungki here" < why always say it
- Wants presence known
- Empathy meter ticks up here
- Mungki... really coming?
- Mungki arrived!
- Tell me where to stuff what
- My account... 7.1 billion...
- No
Crowded narrow space with characters on entry.
'Greeted, so park in corner, practice till rehearsal.'
About to move character there.
-"Mungki Sir! Hello!"
"Yes! Hello."
- Gasp
- Fucked, Lera here
- She arrives
- First Lady main wife concert flubbed fling and
- Lololololololol
Lera suddenly chatted up.
-"Heard the news, so sorry about those jerks..."
"Ah, all good. Sorted it."
Thought it'd be nothing big.
Turned out just casual daily chit-chat.
Kept going on mundane gossip level.
Tried slipping to corner mid-way.
-"Made Jjining cry too... you're a bad guy?"
"...Jjining too?"
-"I cried too... after I-Mungnyong died... so sad, didn't even log in... sob sob."
"...."
Suddenly Lera dropped full WWE.
'What? What's she after?'
Big streamer tech—no prep to counter.
Especially someone he'd already messed up with once!
So in that case.
"Leruri, what do you want? If you're my First Lady, spit it out straight—no dragging."
Just slammed RP.
-"Saw you apologize to Jjining on stream? Sorry if unintended but hurt you?"
"Did."
-"Then let's meet."
Out-of-nowhere conclusion.
Meet? How, what meet?
'VTuber and real person—how?'
No way, right?
As that thought crossed.
"Let's do Hanberde."
Hanberde.
Hangang VTuber Date.
Shocking words from Lera.
And right then I realized.
This was a massive opportunity and.
'They're trying to socially assassinate me!!!'
An utterly unforeseen variable.
