Chapter Title: Living as a Female Streamer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Gritting your teeth like that to win... looks like you really want that brownie, huh?"
It wasn't something Jeon Jeonseol had spat out after deep thought.
Just a joke.
But it was a joke Victory couldn't force a laugh at.
He wasn't that innocent boy from three years ago who played games purely for fun anymore.
Jeon Jeonseol had 55,000 viewers, right?
More than 55 million people knew the name of Earth's top esports star, Victory.
Not all of them were fans, of course—the number of haters waiting to pounce was massive.
The old saying went: if you want to live clean, stay away from booze, women, and gambling.
Women problems were perfect fodder for scandals at the slightest slip.
But you couldn't tell a friend to cut ties just because she was a girl.
Jeon Jeonseol was too precious a connection for that.
'I just need to win.'
Victory had a plan.
After taking her down, he'd say, "No thanks on the brownie," and dip out. Perfect.
He could just claim he came to enjoy some pure gaming fun and wrap it up on a wholesome note.
But his opponent was a gamer Victory himself respected.
Her form was sharp as a honed blade, dodging daggers that others could barely evade on instinct alone through sheer reflexes.
Victory was the world's best pro gamer, though.
He was dodging those same daggers with his own reflexes.
After ages of neither landing a single hit, they ended up in point-blank range—too close for human eyes and reactions to keep up.
Mutual respect acknowledged.
The true knife dance of two Dagger Acrobats.
Dagger versus dagger.
But then, a wildcard Victory never saw coming crashed the party.
"Uhng!"
Games were virtual.
Everyone knew that.
But the human brain didn't separate virtual from reality that cleanly.
Any gamer had felt it: the gut-drop of falling from heights, leaning your body into a racing game's turns like it had a real wheel, or yelping in shock when your character bit the dust.
"Hiya!"
💬 Live Chat Did she actually get stabbed? If it was real, she'd be gurgling her last breaths O_O O_O O_O O_O Viewers get banned for dirty chat, but streamer moans and no ban? TryitTV's gonna ban her soon lol Catch you later as Reborn Legend She just screamed 'cause the dagger hurt, that's all Found my ASMR right here No relation no relation spam Is she aiming for it or actually shocked? F*** lololol Jeon Jeonseol pierced by Victory's long XX - Deleted message Just standard mind games Deep in hyper-focus, Jeon Jeonseol let out moans every time her character took a dagger hit.
With the match still raging, she hadn't even glanced at chat—let alone realized what sounds she was making.
Victory, though? He heard the moans, snapped out of focus in shock.
If that was on purpose... scary? Nah, straight-up psycho bitch?
ASC Victory: Hey ASC Victory: You But Victory's chat couldn't continue.
His character died.
Moving, throwing daggers, and typing? Too much.
"Victory cuuuuuurse youuuu!"
💬 Live Chat Psycho bitch lololololol ???: I always give 110%, using everything I've got F***ing dirty bitch lololol Me Rock Bottom Rock Victory will remember this The ultimate spell is the honey trap after all She's really playing innocent wtf Victory's fault for weak mental game Jeon Jeonseol wins! Victory you got no talent lol Chaos in chat: abyss and nirvana, hate and hype mixed together.
Jeon Jeonseol couldn't process it at first.
She still hadn't realized she'd been moaning.
⚙ DONATION ALERT ⚙ [Anonymous] donated 1,000 won. ─"Aang~ Victory's dagger hurts sooo much~ Aang~" "What the hell are you crazy bastards saying? What? That I moaned? Bullshit, you assholes."
First, she banned the prick who donated real-person sexual harassment garbage.
Then, seeing chat on fire, she finally got it wasn't just jokes.
She rewound the VOD to the scene in question.
─"Uhng! Hiya! Ha-eu! Hot!"
Cute moans every dagger hit...
From her own voice.
No smear campaign, no exaggeration—undeniable truth.
"Misunderstanding! Total misunderstanding! You too, it was a misunderstanding! Not on purpose! F***!"
Impulse to just kill the PC hit hard.
But bailing now would make her look like the real psycho, so she powered through.
Clinging to sanity by a thread.
💬 Live Chat Oh really~? Stream like this every day pls Stop teasing her you jerks How immersed do you gotta be to not notice your own moans Total succubus Born lewd Dad watches and heart breaks ㅠㅠㅠ Today's biggest victim: Victory mind-broken and sliced lololol That 10-streak witch cast a spell I swear!!! ???: Sorry Victory forgive me. Had to do this to beat you. Victim? Nah, total winner "Uwaaaaaaaaah!"
Does she have soundproofing? Neighbors coming over lol My mom too fml Our dog barked along too? All the stream's participants suffered while viewers had a blast.
But wasn't that enough?
Viewers loved it.
That made it fine...

Hard enough with five; impossible with 55k.
📰 LightIt Forum Post [Author: Anonymous] [Title: Found Jeon Jeonseol's skill secret] (Image of jellyfish wearing VR goggles) While others game with KB/M, she solos VR But penalty: dagger hits = actual death. Scary af ㄷㄷ 💬 Replies — Anonymous Almost died for real yesterday, no trauma? ㄷㄷ — Anonymous Why'd you become a solo light novel protag ↳ Reply I Solo VR Invincible — Anonymous Dont die Jeon Jeonseol!!! — Anonymous What template is this — Anonymous Uhng! Hiya! Hauht! Afterward, the "solo VR gamer" meme stuck to Jeon Jeonseol, and "moan" became a 10-minute auto-ban word.
It started as a good-hearted stream, so how'd it end up like this?
Living as a female streamer was no easy feat.
