Creeper Catastrophe
Gyaaah! Nooo!! I had finally started laying the foundation and building my house properly. "Size-wise… bigger is probably better, right? Though I wonder if making it a bit thinner here would be okay."
I was muttering to myself, dreaming of finally having my own place, when the chat reactions suddenly started getting weird. There hadn't been anything strange about what I'd said, yet everyone began snickering.
"W-why…? What's lewd? Ehh?" I hadn't done anything, yet they were calling it lewd. The jireongis were telling each other to hold their breath or not.
Why are they all acting like this…
Still confused, I kept working hard on the house. It was steadily taking shape. I lined up the furnaces I'd gathered, tossed in several stacks of sand, and was pulling out a huge amount of glass.
I was moving busily, but I quickly answered to show my appreciation. "Ah… well, you see, I'm planning to make a glass ceiling… hehe. During the day it'll be bright from the sunlight… and at night, I'd like it to be softly lit by moonlight."
In real life, I could never dream of something this bright, but in the game, I wanted to be surrounded by sunlight. "Still… I'm doing a lot better now. I can even go outside… It's fine. As long as I don't stay in the sun too long, I'm okay… hehe."
The viewers were urging me on. I nodded and replied, "Got it. I'll work hard…! Since you all want it… hehe."
The jireongis were saying I'd seduced them and demanding I take responsibility. I smiled softly and replied, "…You're right, I did seduce you. I love you."
The moment I said that with a shy smile, the chat began scrolling faster than it ever had since my stream started.
Han Giseong, 24 years old. A 700k-sub YouTuber who had been streaming for about four years, he was currently ignoring his viewers completely and focusing entirely on mining.
Originally a master of the most popular FPS, Classic, he had chosen the archer class on this server as well, but…
"Kya! Another diamond! This is it!!! Hey guys, mining is literally a goldmine, you know? Where else are you gonna find something this easy to make money from?"
Right now, he had pushed the raids his viewers wanted to see to the back burner and was diligently continuing to mine. The reason was simple—he had realized that everything he mined turned into money.
Coal, iron, gold, emerald, and diamond. The first four could be exchanged for currency to buy diamonds on this server, and diamonds themselves functioned as currency. Aside from the cost-efficiency of mining a set of coal, iron, gold, and emerald to buy one diamond, it was theoretically a pretty decent profession.
"Nothing beats this goldmine, I swear."
Excited, Giseong had spent the past two days doing nothing but mining. The result? He was already ranked number one on the server. An overwhelmingly dominant achievement.
However, his viewers were properly furious.
The viewers had reached the point of threatening him with donations. Watching them, Giseong felt a chill run down his spine. No matter how much he liked money and donations…
You can't buy time…
He couldn't afford to lose this goldmine mine just because some donation exploded it. He had no choice but to turn back. With a sigh, Giseong agreed and calmed his viewers down.
"Okay, okay… It's a shame, but I've mined a lot already, so I'll do some raids and socialize now. Sigh."
"Ah, thanks for the 10,000 won donation… Thiccest award? You wanna die?"
He heard all kinds of mockery, but he was still happy. Once I go up, I'll mark the spot and do some raids half-heartedly before coming back.
With that thought, Giseong began digging upward. The path he had originally taken was long gone after passing through multiple caves, so it was only natural.
"It's a shame they still haven't patched in the return button."
"Oh, right."
Feeling his face flush slightly, Giseong continued climbing toward the surface. He couldn't have predicted what would happen when he reached the surface moments later.
[Hic…! Sniff… Giseong… Giseong… I'm sorry…]
"I'm really sorry!!!!"
[Hic… hic… Th-there's a sound…!]
He had no idea he was about to meet a menhera girl and fall straight into hell.
With the jireongis' advice, I kept building diligently. "Hmm… Since the glass is done, I think I should start with the ceiling."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Just as I was excitedly filling in the ceiling—
[Hellooooo!]
"…?"
A male voice came from a little distance away. Startled by the playful tone, I rolled my eyes toward the chat.
They all seemed to have a rejection reaction to the existence of men. I chuckled, feeling the fear fade, and peeked my head out to look at the person approaching me.
"It says Giseong… I don't really watch YouTube, so I don't know who you are."
From their reactions, it seemed like most of them knew him. Thinking he probably wouldn't do anything weird, I hesitantly stepped out of the house and braced myself for the energetic person running toward me.
[Hello!]
Ugh… Here he comes.
Energetic people made me uncomfortable. Yeona had her own gentle softness, but most energetic people had too much energy and felt slightly overwhelming. Still, I had to face this massive energy. I had made a promise to the jireongis, after all.
Energetic people are scary, but still…!
I believed that if I gathered my courage, I could do it. Soon, I bowed my head and greeted the man called Giseong.
"Ah, hellooo… I-I'm called Snek."
[Hello, I'm Han Giseong.]
"Eh… Is that your real name?"
[Yeah, I stream under my real name.]
Giseong approached energetically and, as expected, looked around without any awkwardness. I smiled awkwardly and asked him, "D-do you want to come in?"
[Is that okay?]
"Y-yes, it's f-f-fine."
[…Are you okay physically?]
Giseong asked carefully. At his question, the jireongis burst out laughing all at once.
I-is he a problematic person?
Just as I was thinking that—
[Ah, thanks for the 100,000 won donatio—Huh?! Hey, don't—]
Giseong's urgent voice. Right after, I saw my house, which I had painstakingly covered with glass, now covered in creepers.
Five seconds later—
Boom boom boom boom!!!!
"Gyaaah! Nooo!"
With a loud explosion and a scream, my house was blown to pieces.
