Chapter Title: What on Earth Are You Scheming?

Game nicknames reflect a person's personality, or so they say.
That's why I chose 'Venus Fanatic'.
💬 Chat — Viewer [Ahh, Venus... It's you again...] — Viewer [Yearning for what I can't have...] — Viewer ['Shouldn't Legend believe in Nox instead of Venus? They seem like a perfect size match'] Get out lol> — Viewer — Viewer [No such chat exists?] — Viewer [Don't say your own thing and pretend it's someone else lol] "Hmph... mumble mumble..."
— Viewer [Grinding teeth] — Viewer [Legend's cute, so it's fine!] — Viewer [She's petite~] Reacting would just make them go wilder, so I let it slide there.
I finished up the key bindings simply and started on the tutorial quests on the beginner island.
"Wait, you have to level up from 1 to 10 manually here?"
— Viewer — Viewer [How else do you level without doing 1 to 10 manually?] — Viewer [Mages job change at 8, go mage lol] — Viewer [Quests make it quick] "In private servers, you run a few scripts, hit level 10, and do your first job change."
— Viewer [This is the main server, which free server are you talking about?] — Viewer — Viewer [Info) Use Hyper Burning power and 1-200 in 15 mins] — Viewer [Why do these people keep talking about weird games? This is real Meteor Story] — Viewer [Fr lol] I was wrong.
These people had already become god-game purists, convinced that old things were always better and anything new was wrong.
It was a common sight during streams, so I just shrugged it off.
⚙ DONATION ⚙ [Anon donated 1,000 won.] —"So what class are you going for?"
"I'm already a mage elsewhere, so how about trying warrior for a change?"
— Viewer [Warrior noooooooo] — Viewer [Hey, that's hell up ahead] — Viewer [War lololol fail lololol] — Viewer [Legend, this game's balance is trash, never pick warrior] — Viewer [Go mage] — Viewer [But Jeon Jeonseol, you're already a thief... the thief who stole my heart...] — Viewer [Honestly, you'll regret not going mage, go mage] — Viewer [Whatever you pick, warrior or not, you'll get flooded with sponsorships and walk the golden path, why worry lol] "Oh, and just so you know, I won't be accepting any sponsorships."
— Viewer [Gasp!] — Viewer [No-sponsor warrior? Lol legendary...] — Viewer [What kind of life is this person trying to live...] — Viewer [You'll regret it] Me, raised on overflowing sponsorships in the real world.
But that came with a heavy sense of obligation weighing on my heart.
The pressure of having to take over the company after my father.
The harsh reality that came crashing down, the failure.
In the game world, where I could escape that weight, I wanted to live a different life.
In short, I wanted to raise my character through my own efforts.
Without relying on favors just because I'm a streamer.
That's why I deliberately picked the seemingly poorly regarded warrior.
— Viewer [Aigoo Legend] — Viewer [This contrarian, gave advice and she grits her teeth and picks warrior lololol] — Viewer [Venus shoots arrows, might as well go archer] — Viewer [Need big cash for that, not warrior] — Viewer [Go archer 12 noob] — Viewer [You will regret this choice] The charm of RPGs lies in immersing yourself as if you're a resident of the game world.
As a newbie warrior, I tackled the training quests from the job instructor.
"30 tree monsters..."
Honestly, it felt a bit tedious.
In the original Meteor Story, every class had mobility skills that drastically cut travel time, but in Meteor Land, crossing maps often took over a minute.
I trudged diligently to the hunting ground, but there was a problem.
"There aren't enough trees?"
Unlike the current Meteor Story, where maps spawn only two monster types, ancient Meteor Land had countless monsters coexisting in symbiotic food chains per map.
So tree monsters were sparse, and to respawn them, I had to clear other mobs too.
Some took over 10 hits to kill, and at this rate, it'd be dark before I got 30.
['TeeMak i' invited you to a party.] Then, a sudden party invite popped up.
A user already on their second job change, teleporting around me with the mage signature spell.
— TeeMak i [I'll catch them for you] — TeeMak i [Accept party invite] — Viewer [Venus fanatic's fanatic appears lololol] — Viewer [Why didn't I start Meland] — Viewer [This is the fan club meetup site] "But fewer people showed up than I expected?"
When streaming Meteor Story private servers, 30 fan club members would tag along by default just from logging in.
This was the first viewer I'd met in this game.
Why was that?
— Viewer [No channel hopping here] — Viewer [How tf did they meet] — Viewer [Relogged until same channel?] — Viewer [Insane persistence lolololol] "No channel hopping?"
Isn't that game basic 101?
"How do you even play without channel hopping?"
— Viewer [Meet at transfer zone] — Viewer [Parties can move to same channel with login skill] — Viewer [Similar game level lololol] — Viewer [Relog changes channel~] I figured the quality wouldn't be great.
But no channel hopping is disorienting.
And amid that, the real MVP was this guy who infinite relogged until he hit my channel just to see me.
Oh, while I was spacing out, it grew to three people.
— Viewer [Why is Jeon Jeonseol fan club multiplying?] — Viewer [Persistence wtf? Fr] — Viewer [Me 28th relog, plz let me meet her this time] — Viewer [Crazy fans popping up weekly] Partying with these folks would clear quests in a flash.
But that would deviate from the playstyle I vowed at the start.
"Thanks for offering, but I'll do it solo."
If they'd come at my level range, I'd party up.
But what's the point if overleveled 50+ players carry me?
— zxAssaZx [Then we'll clear trash mobs for you] Refusing party, the three viewers started massacring everything but tree monsters.
Thanks to them, I could just stand still and farm trees comfortably.
"Hmm..."
— Viewer [Commander doesn't like that hill! Clear it!] — Viewer [That day, all life in the eastern pass went extinct...] — Viewer [Buster Call :O :O :O] — Viewer [This is the power of national-level streamer?] Heading back to the job instructor to complete the quest, I explained to the viewers again.
"Party only with same-level folks like me, trade items at market price—refrain from everything else. Otherwise, it's not real gaming."
— Viewer — Viewer [Now that's a gamer] — Viewer [XXX, XXX, XXXX reflect on yourselves] — Viewer [Fr lol] — Viewer [What you did was fake gaming!!!!!!!!] ⚙ DONATION ⚙ [Info donated 1,000 won.] —"Legend, more trees at East Rock Mountain 1 than east pass."
"I just cleared the quest, why tell me now."
What I said was because I was taking the game way too lightly.
After bringing 30 tree monsters, the next quest was to bring 50.
RPG's flower, repetitive grind, makes its entrance!
"Thanks for the info."
— Viewer [Stance switch lololol] — Viewer [But actually 50 isn't the end....] — Viewer [Ah spoiler -_-] ⚙ DONATION ⚙ [Anon donated 50,000 won.] —"Legend plz just accept party invite for 5 seconds."
"Wh-what?"
What were they planning that they'd drop 50k just to party for 5 seconds?
What on earth are you scheming?
