Chapter Title: Showcase, Now It's My Turn

“…Wow. What is that?”
I couldn’t close my mouth. Goosebumps prickled across my entire body, like electricity surging through me.
A sleek black latex suit that clung perfectly.
LED lights twinkled over it, something you’d only see in a cyberpunk world.
Of course, they weren’t real lights—they’d used the pigments I’d provided to create that design.
The chest area had a cute Molrangmol motif, along with the White Night mark.
Using the property that allowed layering Molrangtex, they’d expressed the suit’s connections so naturally. It was pure genius.
It also hugged the body perfectly while showing off total flexibility. I loved it.
Is this… really Molrangtex?
What the hell had I been shaping with my imagination until now?
A major corporation’s design team was no joke.
Sure, I’d asked them to focus on design, but this suit far exceeded my wildest expectations.
[Just like this, perfectly fitted to the body…]
Heaven lightly tugged at the suit around her waist with her fingers, then let go.
Snap!
[…Yes. It’s possible to design it as an optimized suit.]
Her voice tone trembled ever so slightly. Was she a little embarrassed?
It definitely clung more than standard Molrangtex. Tighter, accentuating her figure inevitably.
And at that level… she must have poured a ton of mana into putting it on.
Since she was an S-rank hunter, that made it possible. Was she wearing nothing underneath?
[This freedom of design is the greatest advantage of Molrangtex.]
…Pushing stray thoughts aside, I focused back on the video.
[Live Viewers: 112,459]
The stream had just started, and viewers had already broken past 100,000 in an instant.
At this rate, it’d hit a million easy.
S-rank hunters didn’t stream often, but when they did, they’d blow past 500-600k viewers without breaking a sweat.
But an S-rank hunter doing a review stream in an outfit like that?
Anyone would have to click.
Good call partnering with White Night. Molrangmol’s going global!
[Now, moving on to practical use.]
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In what looked like White Night’s training ground, Heaven started running.
Thud! Thud!
Her legs crossed faster and faster. In just seconds, she’d far surpassed average human speed.
If she put in a bit more effort, her leg movements might even sync with the video frames.
Thud! Thud!
But even at that speed, Heaven barely moved from her spot.
Because the training ground floor had special features.
A moving mat, originally developed for hyper-realistic VR.
I’d seen smaller ones on MiTube plenty of times, but covering an entire training ground like this? First time.
Thud! Thud!
[Even at high speeds like this, there’s no issue. On the contrary, we can fine-tune it with subtle mana adjustments to make running even more comfortable.]
Insanely fast as she was, Heaven’s tone remained perfectly calm. No shortness of breath, no sweat.
That’s an S-rank for you.
Public info said she had the top physical abilities among Korea’s S-ranks.
[Now, onto the next part.]
Screech.
Heaven stopped on a dime. With a flawless tumbling flip.
She knew how to put on a show.
As the stream went on, her movements felt less and less restrained.
Yeah, she was that type.
Hesitant at first, but once she got into it, she nailed it and gave her all.
Just a few minutes in, and the earlier shyness was completely gone.
Maybe that’s why.
Heaven showcased Molrangtex’s features in a pretty innovative way.
[Thanks to the customization advantage, it can be used not just as armor, but in other ways too.]
Heaven reached toward the camera. The Molrangtex started squirming, gathering in her palm.
More precisely, it was the Molrangtex from her abdomen. She’d pulled it from there to create something new.
[…Like this.]
And just like that, a somewhat rough but still sharply formed sword appeared in Heaven’s hand.
“I hadn’t even thought of that.”
Did White Night’s R&D team come up with it?
Turning a shield into a weapon. Why hadn’t I considered that?
Whirr!
With a mechanical hum, a barrier rose from the training ground floor.
The training barriers sold in White Night Castle’s department store section. Special devices that measured attack strength.
They were pricey, labeled as toxic inventory… so this was free promo on the side?
Considering the floor mats were similar overstock, how much mileage were they squeezing out of this one video?
Scary, these megacorps.
Clang!
Heaven slashed the barrier with her sword. The display on top soon showed the results.
[Lethality: B+]
[As you can see, it can form a decent weapon. With more refinement, we could achieve even higher lethality.]
Crackle!
The sword’s shape crumbled, and the Molrangtex perfectly filled the gap in her abdomen again.
It didn’t revert to the pristine design from before, but that was minor.
This demo alone perfectly revealed Molrangtex’s true potential.
[The practical demo ends here. Details on Molrangtex are in the pinned comment link.]
Did she sense something similar?
A faint smile crossed Heaven’s face.
Simple is best.
A showcase perfectly tailored to that philosophy.
[Thank you for watching. This has been White Night Guild Leader Joo Ha-neul.]
The showcase was a massive hit.
**
Ding!
Ding!
“…Ugh.”
The love calls via DMs had quieted a bit since starting the White Night collab.
I’d felt a twinge of regret at the drop-off.
Ding!
[ZenithPhysics: Hello. Contacting from Zenith regarding armor collaboration.]
[OpportunityLandHwayeon: Proposing a CF contract. We guarantee 100% casting of your preferred models.]
The affection offensive aimed at me resumed.
Fallout from the Molrangtex showcase a couple days ago.
Hyenas smelling money—how could they hold back? They swarm mindlessly at any whiff of easy pickings.
Not just DMs—some made front pages in the media.
It was basically a nanosuit, right?
Sure, heavy on the slime vibe, but nanosuits were suits.
The kind of fantasy tech people go nuts for.
Ding!
[MolrangmolRep: We’d like to sell your products in our department store. We’ll offer top-tier terms, no question.]
…Huh? MolrangmolRep?
Wow, now we’ve got cuties straight-up impersonating us.
What kinda mindset lets you slap on a fake nickname and pitch a contract to the main store?
Block.
[User has been blocked.]
After sampling new human archetypes first thing in the morning, I marveled at diversity’s wonders and kicked off the covers.
“Urgh…!”
Not as exhausted as before.
Development had reached the near-final stage, giving me some breathing room.
I brewed a steaming morning coffee with the machine I’d gotten recently, then sank into the plush sofa.
Molrang!
My familiars gathered around the moment I sat.
Sipping coffee, I savored the druid life as always.
Slurp!
Beta version sales announcement was in 15 days.
Plenty of time left.
Sales would be 5 units each in S/M/L sizes.
Sizes based purely on total Molrangtex volume.
‘This way, I can sell as many as possible, at least.’
Main ingredient was golem molts, so mass production wasn’t feasible yet.
I’d thought about selling them pre-formed into basic clothing shapes.
‘But then people would just wear them as-is.’
So, raw blob form it was.
If too many “too much hassle” reviews later, I’d sell them in parts.
Ding!
[White Night: Good morning. Review for the HC mark you mentioned is scheduled for today.]
[DragonWantToRaiseNow: Oh.]
[DragonWantToRaiseNow: How long will it take?]
[White Night: Probably around 3 days if quick. I’ll update you once we have details.]
Three days.
By normal standards, that was pretty long.
But considering Molrangtex’s uniqueness, it made sense.
It used mana fundamentally, and the customization format was brand new.
First times are always the hardest, as they say.
Thorough testing for any risks was only natural.
…Though the HC mark wasn’t exactly the gold standard of trust.
Ding!
[White Night: Also starting today.]
[DragonWantToRaiseNow: ? Starting what?]
[White Night: Huh…? Did you forget? I mentioned it two days ago.]
What’s starting?
Couldn’t recall, so I scrolled up.
There it was—a photo.
A cute girl against a backdrop of bursting fireworks.
“…Ah.”
Me.
From when I modeled for Molrangmol merch last time.
Ding!
[White Night: Promo photos will go up in magazine format on White Night’s official gallery today. We’ll also start limited merch sales.]
[DragonWantToRaiseNow: Right, remembered lol;]
Now it was my turn to deal with the embarrassment.
But it’s fine. Me and Molrang’s cuteness is world-class.
Model effect would sell out Molrangmol merch instantly.
So I should’ve been thrilled…
“…Ugh, damn. Why’s my face burning like this?”
