You're Not a Virgin, Right?

One of the things Han Nami and I had talked about at the bathhouse.

It wasn't about Han Nami's chest size… it was about the true names of the Constellations.

Most Constellations hated having their real identities exposed. According to Nami, if you managed to figure out a Constellation's true name from their username, you could charge them a kind of confidentiality fee.

Well, yeah. I'd hate a real-name internet policy too.

Everyone else gets to hide behind anonymity while you alone sit there chatting under your actual name — that's a massive handicap. Take Xiang Yu, for example. Every time he tried to act familiar in my chat, other Constellations would start picking fights with him — So what, you stronger than me? — and there was nothing he could do about it.

Wolf Mama was such a vicious Constellation that her true name had already spread far and wide, but normally nobody knew anyone else's real identity. That was the whole point.

Anyway, "I Pulled Out a Mountain" had to be Xiang Yu. I was almost a hundred percent sure. A Constellation connected to mountains — specifically one who pulled a mountain out — there was nobody else it could be.

It'd be pretty embarrassing if it turned out to be some Constellation I've never heard of, though.

If I was wrong, oh well. No big loss.

"Please don't say I can skip brushing my teeth today. I brush after every meal, thank you very much."

The chat was still spinning out the mint-chocolate elixir bit. I needed to keep the bait dangling if I wanted to steer the conversation where I wanted it. And for that, I had a reliable method.

"To all the Constellations who sponsored me so I could drink that elixir — thank you."

Push the bit with a reaction, then pivot back to the topic I actually wanted.

"And with that! Here's a thank-you reaction!"

I flipped the camera to mirror mode.

"No, I'll save that one for later. As you all know, the soundproofing in here is terrible."

I pulled Hephaestus's Club from my inventory. No matter how many times I looked at it, that thing was the most dick-shaped weapon imaginable.

"That bitch Wolf Mama."

The moment I randomly started cussing out Wolf Mama, the chat flooded with question marks.

"You need a lesson. Get over here."

I wedged the club between my thighs. Mirror mode made it keep thickening and thinning, but the shape was unmistakable. So what the stream was showing right now was me, in mirror mode, with a dick…-shaped weapon jammed between my legs.

"Get over here. Come on. Come heeeere!!!"

What happened when I thrust my hips upward from that position… well, I don't need to spell it out.

Some things you just have to see the results of.

And speaking of which — what the hell is that last guy's deal?

"While you're in the bathroom, take that ban with you."

Banned. Done.

I'd milked the reaction bit for all it was worth. Time to steer things toward the topic I actually wanted.

"So guys, yesterday I went to the bathhouse……"

Looking back on it now — I never should have said that.

"No, why are you asking me about Han Nami's chest size?! That's not the important part right now!"

These ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠absolute troll Constellations.

I protected Han Nami's dignity. Honestly, when that kind of talk came up, I'd let it go in one ear and out the other without really listening.

…Or so I'd like to claim, but it still stuck with me. How did a size like that even exist in Korea?

Not that I'm exactly small myself.

I'll say it again: the shock of looking down at my feet and not being able to see them is something I'll never forget.

So what did I see?

Shut up.

"…So yeah, she said that instead of revealing a Constellation's true name, you can collect regular sponsorships from them?"

"That's true."

Just like My Mom Looks Like a Woman said, guessing a true name required some prep work. First, you had to buy a special sheet of paper from the shop designed for writing a Constellation's true name.

One sheet cost a hundred coins — the equivalent of ten low-grade random boxes. All you did was write the Constellation's username and their true name on it. If you got it right, the paper glowed blue. If you got it wrong, it flared red and vanished.

"The reason I'm bringing this up is… I think I know one Constellation's true name."

"I think I know who I Pulled Out a Mountain is."

The chat erupted.

"I may not look it, but I'm pretty smart."

Deduction games — piecing together a few clues to land on the right answer — those were right up my alley. Even during collab streams, my deductions almost never missed.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

"Let's use it right now!"

I pulled out a pen and wrote down the Constellation's username: I Pulled Out a Mountain. And then…

"Gonna cover the screen for a sec."

I blocked the camera so the paper wasn't visible, wrote Xiang Yu as the true name, and flipped it over so no one could see. Then I brought the camera back and waited for the light.

"…Is this thing broken?"

Nothing happened. No glow, no reaction, nothing.

"Ah."

I had to put mana into it ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠to activate it? I'd just assumed writing on it would be enough.

Becoming a hunter meant you could use mana. That was half the reason hunters were so strong — the reinforcement mana provided. But drawing the mana inside your body out of it was a completely different story. You either learned an internal energy method or a mana heart cultivation technique, or you got pushed to the absolute brink and figured out how to force mana outward through sheer desperation. I'd read about it online.

In other words, me drawing out mana right this second was next to impossible.

"So… how exactly do you draw out mana?"

That said, I had no intention of giving up on a thousand coins.

Internal energy methods and mana heart cultivation techniques were sold in the shop. The cheapest one ran a hundred coins, so if I bought one and studied hard, I could probably manage it eventually.

Wait… could I do this the way I saw it in games?

In my previous world, my job had been an internet streamer — specifically a variety gaming streamer. Naturally, I'd played plenty of games that involved using mana. And I still remembered how those tutorials explained it.

Should I give it a shot?
