Chapter Title: Shall We Try a Proper Stream?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After passing out drunk and waking up, it was Lunar New Year's Day.

I had some dried pollack soup with beaten eggs for breakfast, then went to see a movie with the family.

After ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠that, I came back alone to my place—or apartment, I guess?

Anyway, back to Legend Apartment.

'I thought I was gonna die of awkwardness.'

Dad's pleased smile kept stabbing at me like needles.

Mom was still avoiding eye contact, not looking at me properly.

'So, how much can Seol-yoon actually drink, anyway?'

I had the feeling she was fine right up until ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I turned into a total mess.

At that level, unless someone spiked her drink, she wouldn't get wasted and mess up.

Thank goodness.

'No, the world's way too dangerous for that!'

What if someone really did slip something in her drink?

I needed to give her a stern warning about that again.

The whole world was gunning for me and Seol-yoon, after all! For real!

'Time to stream.'

>

Dad said it was fine if I played around forever, but I couldn't just become some worthless dropout from society.

I'd reinvent myself—not as an unemployed NEET shut-in, but as a professional streamer shut-in!

Yep, still no plans to step outside.

The world beyond the front door was a seriously dangerous isekai.

Couldn't go without some party members.

'Let's do this for real.'

I was gonna stream anyway, but now I felt like trying to do it right.

Just streaming and streaming well were two different things.

So, what exactly was I gonna excel at...?

[Stream Title: Challenger Carry King]

Yeah.

That oughta do it.

I crushed that undefeated 30-game challenge last time, so Challenger Carry King it was.

I hit start stream and jumped straight into queue.

<Your Highness>

<Whoa! New Year's stream!>

<Happy New Year!>

<You call that an explanation stream? You're actually streaming after that?>

<Shut up and watch, it's Chall Carry King>

<Can't resist Chall Carry King>

<Agreed>

<No 'Jeon' honorific today?>

"Ah, Happy New Year, everyone. Great to see you all again today."

<Her voice is so pretty>

<Why's her enunciation so crisp?>

<Is she secretly a voice actress?>

<Fr real lol>

Ah.

Remember when I said this before?

Men and women have different vocalization techniques from the start, beyond just vocal cords.

But I'd lived my whole life as a guy?

So right after switching bodies, my voice was super weird.

Female vocal cords with male vocalization techniques made for a bizarre sound.

I got training to fix that weird vocalization, and boom—ended up with a voice like a pro voice actress or announcer.

I didn't usually think much of it, but all this praise was making me shy.

Ignore the voice and watch the game.

"Ah, ah, ah. Can you hear me okay?"

Today's stream: guy voice mode.

<Turn off the voice changer>

<Don't bullshit>

<Why so horny again, teach?>

<Viewers hate it that much?>

<Makes me madder thinking she's using an expensive mic for that>

<...Isn't she just embarrassed?>

<Classic tsundere move>

<Bingo! Tsundere!>

"That's not it."

Not tsundere... not that...

<Sure it's not lol>

<Voice modulation's obvious af, how'd we miss it so long?>

<Nah, she's just panicking and her voice cracked, it wasn't like this before>

<Turn off the effecter, teach>

<Focus on the game?>

Yeah, for serious gaming sessions, best to shut down everything else.

On PC and in my brain.

Specs are plenty, but you never know.

I turned the voice effecter back off.

"I-It's not like I was hiding my voice 'cause I'm embarrassed or anything, okay?"

<Is this a bit or natural?>

<Cute either way, we're good>

<lmao>

<Oh shit, streamer keeps looking like Nox>

<No cam, how's she look like Nox?>

<Got a Nox pic up in the corner>

<2D character pic lol, total weeb confirmed>

<Make a virtual model while we're at it?>

<Jeon Jeonseol, you'd rock vtuber more than dullahan>

<Stop pushing weird stuff on a game streamer>

<It's advice, not pushing>

Game popped, champ ban/pick phase started.

Draft pick—banning then taking turns picking champs one by one—took way longer than blind pick's simultaneous selections.

Made me nostalgic for Magical Fight clan wars.

We picked characters in turns back then too.

"You know Magical Fight? Total god game."

<Macro 1 appears>

<Team A, why drop that outta nowhere during Chall Carry King lol>

<Traitor! Get outta the village!>

<Heuung, can't settle for Magical Fight's tiny logins anymore>

<NTR complete>

"Traitors are Victory and Wild. Never even played one game of Magical Fight with me."

<Not even one? Lol, are they friends?>

<Friends (or so she thinks alone)>

<Isn't it teach's fault for not letting go of that dead game?>

<Can you handle a billion-won salary Victory's time?>

<So Victory wouldn't pick up 10k on the street?>

<Don't pick up street cash, it's illegal or whatever>

<Why's that real ㄷㄷ>

My pick turn came up, so I grabbed my trusty Illusionist.

Challenger rocket to the moon: launching now.

<Oh, main champ>

<Jeonseol's eyes on Illusionist herself?>

<So what's she look like anyway>

<Voice fake, gender fake, SNS fake, pics fake—only real when talking Magical Fight.>

<Pfft lol>

<Where's that template from?>

"Who cares what ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I look like. Watch the game."

<Nox-lookalike cutie confirmed???>

<If she really looks like Nox, that's Victory's type exactly, what then?>

<ㄷㄱㄷㄱ>

<What if it's an orc pretending to be a cutie pretending to be an orc?>

<Triple trick again?>

<Where you looking? That's my afterimage.>

<What if it's a cutie pretending to be an orc pretending to be a cutie pretending to be an orc—quadruple trick?>

<Getting dizzy already>

<Jeon Jeonseol, air swing!>

Talk all you want, it won't matter.

All you'd see is my badass plays anyway.

In three minutes.

<Agh, delay lol>

<Why always delay sword? Tourney mode?>

<'Cause main screen makes everyone motion sick>

<Relay stream (self)>

Showing my main gameplay screen makes everyone complain about camera switches and beg for mercy.

But in serious mode, I can't stop.

Can't handicap my skills on purpose.

Don't wanna drop winrate even 1%.

Hence, spectator stream.

Add main account as friend on alt, then once game starts, spectate from alt and broadcast.

Set camera to follow my champ only—no fuss.

Not as smooth as pro tourney observer, but I can't hire one.

Still, Teamfight Arena spectator has a 3-minute delay.

To stop spectators cheating advice to in-game players.

So my stream inevitably ran with a 3-min delay.

Voice was real-time, though.

"First blood in three minutes."

<Streamer spoiling her own stream>

<Agh>

<Can't show main screen??>

<NEVER try main screen>

<Don't listen to her>

<Trying to make us all puke?>

<Want main screen? Search Jeon Jeonseol on YouTube>

<Watched those and puked so much I lost weight to 42kg waifu cutie>

<Wtf? Checking now>

"Double kill in three minutes."

<Agh lol why am I hyped>

<Wish these 3 min would fly>

<World's first cup ramen stream>

<Get out>

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠"Penta kill in three minutes."

<Respawns fast early game>

<But regrouping this quick? Teamfight incoming?>

Lots of skeptics, but no one was dead sure it was BS.

I kindly explained three minutes later when truth dropped.

"Mixing in fake spoilers now and then keeps you guessing what's real—makes it more exciting, right?"

<Wtf>

<Mom's spaghetti>

<Knew it, she just loves baiting>

<Agh 10-chain>

<Gameplay's nuts tho>

<Actually hyped now, eyes on heuung>

<Closed screen, radio listening—immune lol>

"You'll regret closing the screen. Don't see this everywhere."

<Fall! Don't you know you gotta kneel proper for Jeon Jeonseol streams?!>

<Kneeling's bad for your body tho?>

<Why's the dialogue so lewd... so lewddd...>

"Lewd my ass! You pervert!"

If that sounds lewd, can you even function in daily life?

<Super lewd tho>

<Wasn't on purpose?>

<Sexy concept streamer Jeon Jeonseol ㄷㄷ>

……What?

Was that actually lewd just now?

Why?

<Streamer's pondering if it was really lewd>

<Cute>

<Gaslighting success lol>

<Not hate>

They were just messing with me.

Fine.

No more spectator view for you.

Main screen instead.

<We were wrong, please stop the punishment>

<This is actually visible??>

<Just rage-shaking the screen?>

<Don't look up or you'll puke and get headache (fr)>

Be good when I'm playing good.
