「Olympic Gold Medal in Sick: Shiiiiiit!」
「Matsumin: Againnnn!」
<> : Matsumin's emotional state is excessively unstable, so the 「Teletype」 function is not operating normally.
「Matsumin: Shit! Poop! Poop! Shit! Again! Poop! Poop! Pooppooppooppoop! Poopgrrrrr ㅎㄸ깻떫앓ㅋㅅくそくそくそくそくそくそ#ErrorCode_0xc00000fe9_High_pitched_emotional_excess#Region_Japan#(管制 AI) Emotional overload has caused an error in Teletype. Connection terminated to protect the user. If the issue persists, contact the system administrator.
「Eektta: Matsumin broke again lololol this time it's worse than before lololol」
「Morning Dew Soju: What’s that Japanese spam? Looks like an error message.」
「Slow Wagon: I’ll……explain……」
「YeoMinROCK: Fuck! That host bastard! Impotent fuck! How do you flip over a perfectly served meal!」
「New Spring: CIA agent! Strong and capable big sis! Pitch-black suit! Black stockings! My type! Uwaaaaaah!」
「Stockings: New Spring gets it. Stockings that conceal the flesh while revealing the contours possess a contradictory allure. The beautiful coexistence of concealment and exposure…… It could be called a metaphor materialized as Eros. In that sense, I strongly condemn host Han Gyeowol's atrocity. The cruel boy has trampled the single flower of art blooming in the ashen world. Ah, how heartbreaking this is.」
「Pro NEET: Nice humanities circlejerk bullshit, now get the engineering retard on deck.」
「Nuclear Power: Engineering has no retards. All the world's retard energy originates from the humanities.」
「Tasty Law: Yeah bbbbk ㅃㅂㅋㅌ Humanities is trash that's useless anyway~ No help to the economy at all, pure asshole~ Even if you get in, departments get merged~ Graduate and you're a total loser who can't get a job~ No effort, just blame the country, talent, chaebols, excuses exploding like crazy~ lololol Old folks at the senior center nodding away, brothers and sisters living the Bangkok life balls-deep pussy-deep sucking parents' spines dry? Admit it? Yeah yeah right on~ Fact bomb boom boom boom ain't no cap~
「King Sejong: Hey you, what’s this pitiful peasant blabbering about? Why don’t words match the script anymore? How did our national language come to this?」
「Kim Jong-un Bastard: It’s all Kim Jong-un’s fault. Pow pow pow! Stab the North Korean bastard’s chest with bullets and knives!」
「Banmal Home: Sejong showed up lololol nick value skyrocketing lololol Oji-myeong?」
「Cashmere: Don’t say oji-myeong you banmal dog」
「Slow Wagon: Teletype is……a security-enhanced thought-to-text module……」
「Elegant Gongju♡: Ah……the mood was so good……I was in Kowalski’s room……such a shame……」
「App Soon-i: Sigh. Can’t help but sigh. Our Winter is so charming, but being too charming is a problem too.」
「Dumchit Dumchit: My guts are bursting! Fuck the host! What kind of hosting is this? Not even hope abuse. If this was a scripted drama, I’d chop the writer’s head off!」
「Tunguska: ㅠㅠ」
[Tunguska gifted 1 star.]
「Dumchit Dumchit: Gifting stars in this mess? Are you sane? We should be demanding refunds.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Wait, it really ends like this? No twist?」
<> : Viewer quest assigned by BigBuffetBoy86.
『Viewer Quest: Ready to take a chance again.』
『BigBuffetBoy86's words: Hey, don’t go! Turn back! Turn back and say you’ve changed your mind! Be honest with your instincts! It’ll be good for you, good for me! The path to happiness for the whole world!』
『AI Help: The goal of this quest is for user ID B-612 Han Gyeowol to have sexual intercourse with Shannon Kowalski. There is a 5-minute limit based on in-world time. Upon success, 1,227 stars will be awarded to the world host.』
<> : Han Gyeowol (Host) rejected BigBuffetBoy86's viewer quest.
「BigBuffetBoy86: Bummed……」
「Rich Dog: Han Gyeowol’s still a stubborn pumpkin lololol In a way, his consistency is admirable.」
「Wilma: Ever since I started watching this, other channels feel boring…… I still watch even if I’m pissed…… At this point, isn’t the host abusing us? No consideration for viewers. Either doesn’t know who’s paying his bills, or lost his mind from arrogance. One or the other.」
「Ultra Conservative: This is the only channel I sub to on Afterlife Insurance……my patriotism is……drying up……」
「Don’t Drip with Nicks: Fine for newbies, but what’s with the OGs freaking out? You know the host has trauma, right?」
「Slow Wagon: Converts the connector’s thoughts……into specific text output……or transmission……the medium being text……allows sufficient speed in encrypted transmission……」
「AngryNeeson55: Trauma? Hmm, what happened?」
「Don’t Drip with Nicks: Rumor is the host had some incident before he died.」
「AngryNeeson55: Oh, that’s a shame. Tragic to die young on top of it.」
「AngryNeeson55: If that happened to my daughter, I’d hunt the bastard down and kill him.」
「Wilma: Oh yeah, there was that. Forgot. But it’s been a while.」
「Wilma: Don’t people forget after a month or two? Lol」
「Dumchit Dumchit: That’s ‘cause they’re mentally weak. Typical of suicide types. If you’ve got the guts to die, use that to steel yourself and live. Maybe the host offed himself too?」
「Snow Fox: You shouldn’t speak so carelessly without knowing the circumstances.」
「Dumchit Dumchit: Fox bitch, you’ve been pissing me off for ages. Acting all saintly, fuck off.」
「Snow Fox: ……」
「Snow Fox: Lately, I’ve been strongly feeling that the world turned irreversibly dark because people like you multiplied. Or maybe the opposite.」
「Snow Fox: Good thing the host isn’t seeing this chat.」
[Snow Fox gifted 3,000 stars.]
「Slow Wagon: For security……temporary access blocks……are implemented under user protection pretexts……」
「Sweet Mocha: But isn’t he kinda right in parts? I used to find suicides pathetic. Who isn’t struggling these days? We all push through. The world’s full of tragedy, but also full of triumphs over it. Helen Keller. My favorite quote.^_^」
「Black Cat: Oh, wise words, nya. I think so too, nya. Flip suicide and it’s murder, nya. Depends on mindset, nya. Turns out it’s no big deal, nya.」
「Cthulhu: Tsk. Suicide is the choice of those who need more courage to live than to die. Telling them to live with death-courage shows zero understanding of their pain.」
「Cthulhu: They might’ve endured horrors you’ve never imagined. Like witnessing something so insane just seeing it drives you mad……」
「Tsathoggua: Gyaaak Guwaaak!」
「Dumchit Dumchit: Lots of bitches on my case today.」
「Storm224: Ha…… The host is really something. Heading back to his room. At this point, it’s impressive. If my sync is normal, he’s gotta be burning up right now. How’s he holding back? Trauma or whatever, gotta respect the mental fortitude. Just noticing his own state shows he’s no ordinary guy.」
「Joseon Dynasty Seal: Yeah. Got chills watching earlier. He’s totally fine. Makes me wanna taste more.」
「Infinite Light Clown Awesome: Yeah, sex is as much emotional satisfaction. Sucks we can’t see it now, but when it happens someday, it’ll be epic. Like food that gets tastier the longer you wait. Guys are simple, they wouldn’t get it.」
「Slow Wagon: Though superficially……just text expression……Teletype module reading……actually parallels TOM reading……scanning emotions and unconscious realms as well……」
「Groseillier Noir: Checked just in case—seventeen relay rooms for this channel got bombed. Impatient Koreans. As someone said, fine cuisine requires waiting. :)」
「Poop Ddarling: Hyah. Seventeen? That’s how many people?」
「Blanket Park Geun-wi Hyun-hye: Such a waste. Kicked away a real chance to blow up.」
「Blanket Park Geun-wi Hyun-hye: As far as I know, this is the only case in recent years of vanilla making it to the Afterlife Insurance portal main…… So I was hoping for A-rank, maybe even S-rank……」
「Poop Ddarling: Other star channels feel like debt shuffling yeah」
「Vladimir: Hmm. What do you mean by debt shuffling?」
「Poop Ddarling: Need differentiation to gain popularity. But almost no one’s naturally talented like Han Gyeowol. So what else? Dump cash into world and DLCs. For new content to sustain the stream.」
「Don’t Drip with Nicks: Classic chicken game. Everyone’s doing it, so you gotta outspend. Prep new love interests every day.」
「Vladimir: Text doesn’t match reality much. You Kareiskis satisfied with this service?」
「Ultra Conservative: What do you wanna hear? Just work hard yourself, done.」
「Vladimir: Hm.」
「Slow Wagon: The higher aptitude……control AI reads deeper meanings……conversely, in typical cases……excessive unreadable info volume……raises Trojan horse risks……」
「Dumchit Dumchit: Han Gyeowol’s just full. Should’ve tried overcoming trauma for the viewers. Plenty of time? Whatever, producers ignoring consumer demands unilaterally? Unacceptable in capitalism. It’s basic. Where’s the denial?」
「SALHAE: That’s not right.」
「Innate Claw: Oh, Namsan Tower rapist. Thought you were gone since you went quiet.」
「SALHAE: I’m too dumb for fancy words. But……consumer producer stuff……between people……not defined one way……feels violent……like not seeing people as people……」
「Don’t Drip with Nicks: Cute words from you. The loudest sex-obsessed guy.」
「SALHAE: Well……yeah, it’d be nice. Naked in the arms of a trustworthy woman……slow, gentle caresses, quietly cum. I want that. But not as desperate anymore……Just tired. No drive……Exhausted……」
「SALHAE: Miss Yura. Wanna hear Yura’s voice. Smell Yura. Yura smiling at me would feel good. It’d be Han Gyeowol, not me, but even as someone else, loved by Yura? I’d be happy. Her always giving her all was her charm.」
「SALHAE: Gotta meet the host once. File a visit request. Don’t put it off as hassle.」
「Jessica Full-time: What’s this change lololol Wasn’t he just yesterday yelling about raping Namsan Tower lololol」
「Matsumin: Hing. Broadcast over? Came in but it’s dark.」
「Jessica Full-time: Oh, Matsumin’s back.」
「Grade 9 Civil Servant: Dozed off just now. Wait, dozed off? It’s just in-world action. Anyway, guess today’s stream ends here.」
「Dolce Vita Tried: Japanese sis lololol why’d you freak out earlier?」
「Matsumin: (o´Д`)=з」
「Matsumin: Winter’s face was right in front of me…… So heartbreaking in that moment. Missed the chance to sleep with Winter, but more than that, pitying how he had to stay cold even then…… Got mad. (´・ω・｀)」
「Slow Wagon: For security reasons……temporary access blocks……not implemented under user protection……」
「Dongmakgol Ugly Valley: Conceptfag ban.」
「Matsumin: Lately this feeling grows stronger: if I could see Winter truly smile at the end of these streams, I’d be happy too.」
「Vladimir: Personally, I’m looking forward to it too. Good judge of character, and Han Gyeowol seems solid talent. Shows Afterlife Insurance’s raw side and potential. Grateful for entertaining and informative streams beyond fun.」
[Matsumin gifted 300 stars.]
[Vladimir gifted 5,471 stars.]
============================ Author's Notes ============================
#Viewer
Joara really sucks at their job. Checked after seeing comments—viewer was a total mess in every way.
Whatever, but still not displaying original text post-update? Really... Saw blanks where original text should be in the polyamory arc, speechless. A text-based company failing at text display...
Come to think of it, that mass text dump leak and copyright response they hyped? No results yet. Just noise to tide over back then?
#Q&A
Q. Geography-nim: @What happened on September 26, 1983?
A. Like modern Russia, the Soviet Union had a fully automated nuclear retaliation system. Even if a first strike wiped out command, it ensured US destruction. Official name unknown, commonly called Doomsday Machine.
It malfunctioned multiple times, worst on Sep 26, 1983. Satellite detected US launching 5 nukes.
Duty officer at the center was Stanislav Petrov. No hard proof of error, but assumed glitch and halted retaliation.
Without him, full US-Soviet nuclear war that day.
Made into documentary 'The Man Who Saved the World'—worth a watch.
Q. shadowx-nim: @Will the protagonist overcome trauma and escape impotence by the ending? Don’t emphasize H-scenes or romance much, no complaints now, but his life’s so pitiful I’m curious.
A. This novel ends happily. For real. Swear on my innocence. Told you before, no one believed.
Q. Xino-nim: @Congrats on 150 chapters
A. Thank you. :)
