Chapter Title: Her Secret Double Life
-----------------------------------------------------------------
No matter how long she waited, the viewer count stubbornly refused to climb above zero.
"Reminds me of the very first time I started streaming."
Fumbling around with the VTuber setup had eaten up the time, and before she knew it, evening—the peak streaming hours—had arrived.
Seeing the once-rowdy chat window now steeped in silence, she grabbed Snowy and headed out to the yard, lighting up a cigarette.
"Hoo—. Snowy, I'm a total zero-viewer now."
"What's a zero-viewer?"
"No one's watching my stream."
"What's a stream?"
"You know that glowing square box? It's how I show myself to other people."
"Why?"
"So I can make money."
"Why?"
"So I can buy food for you, Snowy."
"Okay."
Finally dodging the barrage of questions by tying them off with food, she managed to escape.
"Let's head back in."
She stubbed out the nearly burned-down cigarette and returned to the room with the computer. A chat message had popped up on the screen.
[Oh, Winter's avatar is so cute lol]
[You stopped moving. Where'd you go?]
A precious first viewer at last. Pondering her concept, she decided to try something opposite her usual personality.
"Whoa! Hello! I'm so happy you came!"
[Whoa, streamer's voice is super cute. How's someone like you a zero-viewer?]
"Hehe. F-fudge, thanks."
A voice packed with cuteness, far from her norm. She quickly suppressed the wave of self-loathing it brought.
[?? Heard some weird noise in the middle]
"Bit my tongue."
[lolll so cute. Get a better mic and it'd be even better]
Seeing the instant mic complaints, she thought of her voice leak.
"It's my first stream today, so the mic kinda sucks."
[Oh, first stream? What kinda content you doing?]
"Hmm. I just turned it on, so wanna brainstorm with you, viewer?"
[Oh, I'm the first viewer]
[Clang!]
[BingBingBingBing donated 1,000 won]
[First donation lol]
"Whoa!! First donation—thank you so much, BingBing!"
[lol really cute]
"For my first donation reaction, I'll play Panic Field. Gonna smash some kids' he... I mean heads!"
[????]
"Oops, slip of the tongue."
[lololol spicy!!]
She launched Panic Field and was about to log in, but realized using her main account wouldn't do. She quickly made a sub-account.
[Signing up? Total newbie?]
"Nah, just a smurf. Let's go!"
Suspicious vibes everywhere, so she swiftly changed the subject and started the game.
As players gathered in the lobby and the view shifted to the plane, she jumped mid-flight.
[Oh, abandoned school?]
Every game she'd streamed before was packed with 99% snipers out of the 100 players—her viewers.
With practiced movements, she snatched rooftop loot and aimed at heads of players dropping nearby.
—Bang! Bang!
<Han Winter eliminated MaeilMorningBread>
<Han Winter eliminated vLawyerMasterv>
[Whoa insane. Winter a pro Panic Field gamer?]
"Got lucky with Desert Eagle as first loot."
[ㄷㄷ That's not luck, that's skill]
After a rooftop skirmish, she predictably headed to the 3rd-year Class 2 janitor's closet for a shotgun.
—Bang bang bang!
She cleared the late-arriving stragglers, sweeping enemies floor by floor.
[8 kills] [64 survivors]
[Whoa, you solo-cleared the abandoned school?]
"I'm Lu Bu Winter."
<Second gas deploying in 1 minute>
Glancing at the world message and map, the safe zone was an island.
"This is tile-fighter central, huh?"
She left the cleaned-out school, hopped in a car, and drove onto the bridge—the only way to the island.
—Bang!
A pre-positioned enemy greeted her with a hail of bullets. Zigzagging the car, she hopped out toward cover opposite their hide, lobbing a grenade.
—Boom!!
[9 kills] [55 survivors]
The grenade nailed the enemy spot, vacating the prime real estate.
She held the bridge center, cutting down players funneling in to escape the closing gas, holding firm for a good while.
<Final gas deploying across the map>
Luckily, the final safe zone centered on her bridge playground.
[ㄷㄷ Winter main]
Even pre-hidden island enemies had to come out. She wiped the gathering foes, ending the game.
—Bang!
[22 kills] [1 survivor]
<1st place: Amazing Victory>
"Phew, that 1,000-won reaction was killer, right?"
[Whoa! Winter goddess! Winter pro!]
[ㄷㄷ This a VTuber?]
[lol Lu Bu real]
[Oh streamer's voice so cute]
Too focused on the final fight to check chat, but post-game, viewers had piled up.
(Viewers: 6)
A quick glance at the TripleNet broadcast showed six viewers.
"Oh, welcome everyone!"
[hi hi]
[Panic Field god. Pro player?]
[ㄷㄷ 22 kills lololol]
"Nah, that was a normal match. Ranked? No way I'd do that good."
[True lol]
[Still, takes skill. You're cracked]
"Did it as a reaction for the viewer's donation."
[How much donos for 22 kills?]
[I punched 1,000]
[22 kills for 1k lol best reaction ever]
[Clang!]
[PerfumeChic donated 10,000 won]
[10k punch!]
"Whoa! 10,000-won donation—thank you!"
She bobbed her head side to side for the second donation reaction, and the avatar mimicked her.
[lol streamer's avatar cute]
[1k got that, 10k gonna be wild. Hyped]
"Hmm, first stream today, nothing prepped. What should I do?"
[Killing it for a debut lol]
[Good singer?]
"I sing like a beast."
[lolololol]
[Euna's doing karaoke rn. Join that]
"Karaoke?"
Following the suggestion, she searched Euna on TripleNet—hosting a singing contest.
"This the one?"
[Yup. 3 mil won prize]
[Even if no win, good for gaining viewers]
<Euna's Singing Contest! Anyone can join! 3 Million Won Prize!!>
Euna's room had over 10,000 viewers.
"Super famous, huh? Over 10k viewers."
[First stream and you don't know Euna?]
[6 vs 12k lolol]
Entering Euna's room showed participation instructions in the corner, contest underway.
A petite woman with big eyes—adorably cute.
"She's super cute."
[Fr lol top 3 cutest girls]
Reading the participation rules: sign up on a karaoke site and join.
"Seems all the good singers are here already. Can I even get in?"
[lol maybe if lucky. Worth a shot]
[Let's try]
Quick signup, found Euna's room.
<Euna's Singing Contest (10/10)>
10k viewers, but only 10 slots. Click race when one drops.
[Trolls aggro and dip quick]
True to word, aggro trolls spamming "I love you" and leaving for streamer interaction.
[Heavenly Eye activates]
She sniped the numbers and clicked in fast.
[Oh cracked reaction speed as expected from Panic pro lolol]
[Nailed it first try lol]
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Heavenly Eye opens] Perfect timing by Euna's words.
"Nailed the entry. 3 mil incoming."
[Confidence lol]
[All the singers here tho. You good? lol]
Aggro trolls sped her turn up.
【Hello, Han Winter. What song should I queue?】
"Zoo, please."
【Whoa! Super cute voice on this contestant. Zoo—like the kids' song?】
"Yep, the nursery rhyme."
【Perfect pick for your voice. Let's go!】
[Nursery rhyme lololol]
[Winter gave up on 3 mil ㅠㅠ]
Euna's intro ended, and her song started.
【Tweet tweet chick♪】
【Hop hop bunny♪】
She poured max cuteness into her tone but got too immersed—and disaster struck at the end.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Ding!] [Storm added to tone] 【Roar roar tiger!!!!】
A tiger burst out and shredded everything.
