"Huh?"
Suddenly, a 100,000-won donation message popped up right in front of me.
"No way, what the hell? 100,000 won? That's what I make from a full day of grinding."
— Eong Base Meat Eong Eong lol you're grinding — Butter Bean Can Grinding a full shift with that voice lololol "No, that's not what I meant. Thanks for the 100,000-won donation, Military Secret Leak. Appreciate the cash, but did you change your mic today or what, you lunatic?"
— Non-Participating Mayo Rice Damn, jealous of that 100k cuss rag — Military Secret 1q2w3e Your voice is getting compressed by the mic, change it again — dhgkaak Host, you ever tried grinding?? — bb BB Bullet Sis, cuss me out too!! "Yeah, up until a few days ago, I was grinding and even doing night delivery shifts."
— Anatomy ㅠㅠ Gotta take care of our eye candy — Butter Bean Can What grinding for a girl; — Eong Base Meat Eong Eong Fr, if you're that bored, just do voice acting "Voice acting takes tons of acting practice and pronunciation drills too. You think it's just about having a nice voice?"
— Military Secret 1q2w3e Host, change the mic "You little shit, I changed it today. Still, thanks for the 100k, Leak."
— Oom Grunt Oom Grunt Why's he Leak? — Military Secret 1q2w3e 100k nickname leak♡ — Footrest unfilthy bastard lololol — Eong Base Meat Eong Eong In the army they set doc passwords like 1q2w3e4r — Non-Participating Mayo Rice lololol but how does eye candy know that? — Park It Good Yamuchi Eye candy's voice is so sweet and tangy, how's a voice like that even possible? The chat was exploding nonstop, making it hard to keep up. I let out a sigh without thinking.
"Haa─"
— Dullureuya ㅗㅜㅑ that sigh is insane — Butter Bean Can pfft insane Now they were losing it over me just breathing.
Seeing the viewers react to every little thing made it kinda fun in its own way.
— PC Bang Treadmill Machine Radelri Teacher, do you know our Radelri?Teacher, do you know our Radelri?Teacher, do you know our Radelri?······· — Footrest Fuck, is he using the chat like his personal living room Amid the scrolling chats, I spotted someone spamming like crazy.
"You idiot, who's Radelri? Stop spamming."
— Oom Grunt Oom Grunt pfft getting cussed in that voice makes me wanna cum — Eong Base Meat Eong Eong lol Radelri suddenly "who's that" — PC Bang Treadmill Machine Radelri Gasp, teacher you don't know our Radelri? How could you? "Moron, there are tons of streamers out there. Fuck, how would I know everyone?"
From the nickname and the way he chatted, it was clear this wasn't his first rodeo.
He reeked of veteran vibes. A total pro spammer.
"I watch some streams too, but I only know a few in my niche. Can't know them all."
— PC Bang Treadmill Machine Radelri Radelri, TripleNet streamer, started his first broadcast on TripleNet 5 years ago. With his unique fun talk and wit, he quickly passed the lean times, sweeping up viewers. Radelri's high-level gaming skills surprised viewers and brought joy. Every game he plays explodes in popularity, and in just 6 years, he surpassed average 14k viewers—the legendary streamer, king of kings of TripleNet, president, supreme leader, king leader Radelri. I'm truly disappointed that teacher doesn't know him, I really can't help but not be disappointed no I am. My head was spinning.
This wasn't just veteran vibes—he was a full-on spam lord.
— Footrest Ah that fucking guy thinks the chat is his home, host!!! Kick that bastard!! I stared blankly at the spam from the psycho with the Radelri nickname, then moved my mouse and kicked him.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [PC Bang Treadmill Machine Radelri has been kicked] — Non-Participating Mayo Rice lolol Radelri fan bye lolol "Guys, no matter how much bullshit you pull, have I ever kicked any of you? Know your place, assholes."
Kicking out the spammer made it clear Radelri was more popular than I thought.
Suddenly, more viewers with Radelri nicknames started popping up among my scant audience.
— Radelri is Delicious How can you not know Radelri? — Elderly Priority Seat Gatekeeper Radelri A streamer who doesn't know Radelri in this world? — Eong Base Meat Eong Eong Radelri stans are crazy you retarded fucks — Oom Grunt Oom Grunt ㅗㅜㅑ host's sweet voice is seriously insane even now ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Ching!] [Waxing Shop Ghost Radelri donated 1,000 won] [I'm disappointed in teacher, I really can't help but not be disappointed, no I am disappointed.] In a room with just over thirty viewers, three had Radelri in their names. Over three.
Felt like I'd made a huge mistake.
"Still, gotta do what I gotta do."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Radelri is Delicious has been forcibly removed] ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Elderly Priority Seat Gatekeeper Radelri has been forcibly removed] ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Waxing Shop Ghost Radelri has been forcibly removed] I quickly booted all the viewers with "Radelri" in their names.
— Dullureuya Radelri stans bye- guk! — Oom Grunt Oom Grunt Kiiiiieeek dodge! Martial law martial law! — bb BB Bullet wee — Non-Participating Mayo Rice bing — Butter Bean Can moo — Military Secret 1q2w3e bing — dhgkaak Survive!! We must survive! — Eong Base Meat Eong Eong bing The viewers spamming "bing" in unison.
"Bing" was a personal broadcast meme—when you fuck up chat and the mood sours, you spam to avoid getting kicked.
Thanks to that, noob streamers on day two were mass-kicking now.
Before the vibe got too heavy, I figured I should say something.
"Don't wanna die? Act right."
— Military Secret 1q2w3e ㅗㅜㅑ yes master — Umbrarella Oh yeah, eye candy tie me up plz — Footrest Queen!Queen!Queen!Queen!Queen! "Footrest, no spamming. Wanna be my foot mat?"
— Eong Base Meat Eong Eong ㅗㅜㅑ so jealous use me as foot mat too eye candy — Dullureuya Overwhelming ultimate prize fuck so jealous ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Ching!] [Queen's Foot Mat donated 10,000 won] [Huff huff so good] — dhgkaak Look how fast he snagged that nick lol — Footrest You bastard that's mine fuck give it back!! — Queen's Foot Mat lol you should've grabbed it faster moron "·····."
What a madhouse party.
Cuss 'em out, they spit cash.
They fight over not being foot mat.
As someone who watched streams a lot, this wasn't incomprehensible.
Complains about the mic, drops 100k.
Shilling their nick, drops 10k.
Was making money always this easy?
That 100k after choking on dust all day grinding, coming home grinning like an idiot—what was that me?
Men doing this to me, the one whose gender identity was shaking, felt a bit performative.
But the viewers shaking and reacting to my every word? Kinda cute. Not off-putting at all.
As my thoughts flowed, something crucial deep in my heart vanished, and I realized something at the same time.
I wasn't a grinding middle-aged dude anymore.
I was a woman now.
My body could make money.
Shame had zero use in life.
Ditch the useless shit, and life gets easier.
Late, but I got it quick.
First life was slow.
Second was fast.
Because I was a man.
Because I'd been a man, I knew better than anyone what men liked.
I knew men's fetishes better than any woman.
Felt like the male-imprinted soul was scattering away bit by bit.
Didn't matter in my life.
A useful body was better.
Put disgust on hold, make it as alluring as possible.
"Hng♥ Thanks, foot mat."
The 2-star skill [Voice Gently Resounding in Heavenly Peach]★★ produced more power than imagined.
Just a simple thank-you.
— Non-Participating Mayo Rice Kiiiiieeeeek!! Thank you thank you thank you — Footrest Thanks mom for birthin me thanks mom for birthin me — Eong Base Meat Eong Eong Eye candy my dick's weird eye candy my dick's weird eye candy my dick's weird ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Ching!] [Queen's Foot Mat donated 10,000 won] [Thanks queen for wiping] — bb BB Bullet I was born to be a foot mat — Umbrarella Eye candy I love you eye candy I love you eye candy I love you eye candy I love you eye candy I love you Still a bit gross, but not a bad feeling.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Ching!] [Army Secret 1q2w3e donated 100,000 won] [My dream is foot mat fulfill my dream my dream is foot mat fulfill my dream ·······] A sly smile crept onto my face without me realizing.
