Chapter Title: Why Do People Get Angry?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Playing with the kids at the orphanage was way more fun than I'd imagined.
It brought back faint waves of nostalgia from my own orphanage days,
and above all, just watching the children laugh and run around lifted my spirits.
It was a different kind of healing from terrorizing folks with hate images and watching the floaters suffer.
Ah, but of course, the price wasn't cheap at all.
[I'll buy you ice cream if you find me!]
At first, the kids seemed so unmotivated, so I threw out a bet,
[Whoa, sis really sucks.]
But the second I dangled a reward, their eyes lit up, and they came charging at me like arrows,
[Um... kids, you really want that one..?]
and wouldn't you know it, they all picked the priciest one—the 13,000-won Häagen-Dazs.
[Hey... you guys don't hate me or anything, right?]
I got worried they might actually dislike me,
but according to the kids, Lee Min-ji always told them to pick the most expensive thing whenever she bought them something.
She'd say not to do that in front of others, but with her, it was fine anytime.
'She was juggling all those part-time jobs, no wonder her account was empty...'
When I first possessed Lee Min-ji's body, the part-time schedule scribbled on her calendar was murderously packed at a glance.
It didn't make sense that she was grinding that hard just to cover rent, but now I knew why.
It was a heartwarming tale that made me see Lee Min-ji in a new light.
Truth be told, the moment I became her, I felt superior in pretty much every way.
I had this baseless arrogance that everyone would be better off with that crazy bitch gone and me in her place.
[Sis, why didn't you come last week..?]
And today, that delusion shattered.
The orphanage kids had been missing the old Lee Min-ji the whole time I hadn't shown up.
'No helping it.'
Like I've said a million times, I'm the type who lives day-to-day on whims, no long-term plans.
Even if tomorrow's my last day, I'll enjoy today.
Even if today's my last, I'll savor this very moment.
But that doesn't mean I can have zero goals at all.
So my bare-minimum goal became: at least look after these kids as much as the original Lee Min-ji did.
I decided that was the least I owed her, whose body I'd suddenly snatched.
No matter how much troll blood ran through my veins, I was still human enough to uphold basic decency.
'My military savings... hurts to dip into, but...'
No way around it.
Anyway, to stick to this minimum goal, I'd need money, obviously.
In this godforsaken capitalist society, no money means you're powerless—can't do jack.
Big dreams or small, to achieve anything, you need capital in the end.
Fortunately, I'd prepared one means to scrape some together—
💬 Saintess Nice Gallery — Title Galju, is meeting guys fun??? — Title The Saintess Nice antis will get doxxed the second she returns lol — Title Yeah~ The Saintess Nice you guys obsess over is off meeting church bros right now~ "Huh."
...We're screwed?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The one thing I overlooked: viewers aren't loyal guardians who stick from start to finish.
Live viewers are just dopamine junkies in the end.
The moment the stream gets even a little dull, they bail without a second thought for another streamer's channel to get their fix.
Sure, there are diehards who plant their totem on their fave streamer...
but after just three days of streaming, I couldn't have many of those.
— Title Saintess Nice fretting "oh no oh no" while lurking the comms? Lmao — Title Bf controversy exploding after just 3 days of streaming is legendary — Title Honest Saintess Nice haters super jealous of church bros lol As a result, after choosing a weekend break without even an announcement, I was now bearing the full brunt of the viewers' ire.
I did mention it right before ending the previous stream, but way more people probably missed it.
'This is bad...'
The Saintess Nice Gallery was a community full of haters from the start, despite the name.
It was founded by victims from the Ias Gallery who'd suffered my spam and terror, just to trash me.
Not everyone there hated me completely—there were a few who supported me as a streamer.
But judging by the titles jumping out now, it was clear they were all united in bashing me.
"...No helping it."
I cracked my knuckles lightly, finished stretching, and clicked the [Write Post] button up in the corner of the gallery.
Ah, writing an explanation post?
Well... kinda, but...
[HUN VPN]
— Title | Writer: ㅇㅇ (210.110) But does going to church guarantee she's meeting guys? Lol — Pretty harsh speculation lol Isn't this bitch just using church as an excuse cuz streaming's a hassle?? — Title | Writer: ㅇㅇ (58.72) Anyone calling this bf bait or whatever clearly never dated lol — If it was really her bf, she'd flaunt going to church lol — Title | Writer: ㅇㅇ (222.122) You guys just wanna hate on Galju, right? — No announcement + off >> Mentioned right before off Meeting bf >> Said church volunteer, zero mention of guys All speculation, no facts, you just grabbing any excuse to hate? Something a bit... different? Community users have a tendency to blindly follow the majority opinion.
Deep down they might not agree, but they think, "Oh, everyone's thinking this?" and get swept up in the wave.
So, if I create a new wave?
Impossible to swallow the massive existing one, but at least I could spark some clashing opinions—
— Title No way you're shielding this??? — Title Suddenly tons of floaters shielding in the gal — Title Saintess Nice, you aren't pulling alt account bullshit right now, are you? "Huh."
...Totally screwed?
Maybe because they'd suffered so much at my hands before.
They'd already started sniffing out my fake post spam.
"Damn... they caught on..."
At this point, reversing opinion with fakes was impossible.
If I kept pushing and got caught, they'd go full UFC berserk on me, not WWE.
No choice now.
Time for the real last resort.
⚙ BROADCAST STARTED ⚙ Was feeling tired today and planned to take the day off. But can't let my rice bowl get smashed like this. I've said it a million times: better to bulldoze straight through boldly
than bore everyone with long-winded, pretentious explanations.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ 📰 Broadcast Title Saintess Nice LIVE ON: Met church bros hehe 👁️ Viewers: 908 👁️ 💬 Live Chat — Viewer -Title is insane??? — Viewer -Me — Viewer -Ban — Viewer -Ban — Viewer -Title f*** lolololololol ⭐ Sponsor — ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won! ??? : Ah shit, caught lol — Viewer -Ban — Viewer -Lolololololol Saintess Nice hit her third day as a streamer.
The internet streaming world was already an extreme red ocean—gaining ground in three days was borderline miraculous.
Most new streamers' chats were dead silent, not even a single line.
But Saintess Nice's chat was,
in a totally different way, on fire.
— Viewer -This crazy bitch lolololol — Viewer -Controversy? Who cares lol — Viewer -Me — Viewer -Spam insane The firepower was at a level where you'd question if this was really a third-day streamer's chat.
No matter that she was a big name from the communities or had help from a major streamer, it was hard to believe.
⭐ Sponsor — ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won! If Saintess Nice were normal, she'd have freaked out at the hundreds spewing curses and fled.
But instead,
— Viewer -Wtf is this s***ty bgm — Viewer -She playing classical or what — Viewer -Where's ingame here? — Viewer -Why game screen on but no talking she just left the Ias ingame screen on with zero response.
— Viewer -Saaaa... The Spirit Lake in Ias, famed for its stunning views and top screenshot spot.
With her character submerged, classical BGM in the background—Saintess Nice had it all set.
⭐ Sponsor — ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won! — Viewer -Vibe f***ed It felt less like a game stream and more like a nature documentary.
The serene lakeside scenery and calming music soothed weary minds and minds, evoking peace.
Of course, separately from that,
— Viewer -Me — Viewer -So real bf or what?? So real bf or what?? So real bf or what?? — Viewer -Ban — Viewer -Aang kimocchi! Aang kimocchi! Aang kimocchi! Aang kimocchi! Aang kimocchi! — Viewer -Mic on f***er
