[Do you guys know this before posting?]
Vine just started streaming lololol
I didn’t expect him to stream at this hour even if he did stream, it’s 8 AM ffs lolol
[Comments]
– Is Vine your friend? Add honorifics
ㄴ Why so serious… If Vine’s from Daeju-dan, isn’t casual speech allowed?
ㄴ Tsk tsk, Vine-nim is someone who will soon aim for ‘the heavens’…
ㄴ Vine punch… Vine punch…
– Heard he deliberately chose to stream at a time that wouldn’t overlap with Daeju’s stream hours
ㄴ Being considerate of the boss, nice
ㄴ If he streamed at the same time… he might steal all the viewers… kukuk[1]…
ㄴ wtf he already has hardcore fans?

When I woke up and checked the forums, it seemed Vine had already started streaming.
Even though it wasn’t my business, I felt strangely tense. If his gaming skills remained the same as in the previous world, he’d be successful no matter what he did…
While preparing for my stream today, I kept checking the post titles.
Fortunately, there weren’t any critical posts about Vine’s stream yet. Rather, there were many positive reviews.
Some overly enthusiastic people even gave extreme praise like [The Most Necessary Stream of This Era].
“All this fuss when he has just started streaming…”
I noticed I had a KakaoTalk message.
Given that I hadn’t heard any notification since waking up, it must have come in during the early morning…
[Daeju-nim, what do you think of this outfit?]
It was a message from Se-na.
Although we occasionally chatted on KakaoTalk, this was the first time getting a message this early…
And this outfit looked familiar.
“Wait a minute, where have I…”
As I walked to the closet with my phone, I saw the clothes I had worn during my cam stream last time.
Comparing it with the photo, it was a perfect match. Even the size was the same.
And looking carefully at this photo, although it was appropriately cropped so the face wasn’t visible, the arms and neck…
It looked like me.
“Oh? Did she watch my stream?”
The corners of my mouth curved up in satisfaction.
Recommending this outfit must mean my outfit in the video looked quite good, and recommending it to me feels like getting complimented twice at once.
I felt embarrassed at the same time. If it was my YouTube, the content would definitely be… not normal.
And finally, I felt anxious.
Surely Se-na hasn’t been influenced by Daeju-dan too?
I first replied to Se-na saying I’d definitely buy it.
Deciding to save the reveal for later fun.
When I entered the forum, it was already flooded with posts about Vine.

[Never seen a stream like this before]
It’s irritating but not bad
This has a different flavor…
[Comments]
– Just take out that irritation on Daeju when he comes later
ㄴ Oh, here’s the perpetual motion machine
ㄴ Just perfectly matched with Daeju lololol
– Let’s follow chat rules well for our Vine, so he can stream for a long time. If you want to break rules, go to Daeju’s room
ㄴ lololol why are you doing Daeju like that lololol
ㄴ Did Daeju hit you? Did he do something wrong? lololol
ㄴ Their crime is failing the viewer gacha~

“Irritating but not bad?”
What’s that supposed to mean.
I’m not sure if this means he’s doing well with the stream or not.
Plus, the fact that he’s irritating Daeju-dan isn’t a good sign, but they’re saying it’s not bad.
“Should I take a look now?”
Originally, I was planning to check after the stream had progressed a bit, but the posts had amplified my curiosity.
I checked Vine’s streaming channel.
400 viewers.
Considering it was his first day, the time slot, and remembering his timid appearance in my memories, he had quite a lot of viewers.
Moreover, he wasn’t using his looks as a weapon. If he had turned on his cam, he’d probably gather even more viewers… He must have a cam, right?
Although I hesitated, worried about disturbing the stream, I decided to check it out.
As expected, he was playing LoL.
[Oh? Daeju? Is it real?]
[Why isn’t this bastard streaming!]
[lolol Boss came for inspection]
[Vine-nim~ Should we kick out this lowly peasant who came?]
“Vine-nim? nim? Huh!”
These guys are using honorifics?
Well, they can use them, but it felt really uncomfortable seeing them calling me bastard or lowly peasant while using honorifics for Vine.
So I made a note first.
You better be prepared.
I was frowning while laughing in disbelief when Vine, probably seeing the chat, greeted me cheerfully.
“Ah! Daeju-nim!”
[Daeju: The stream’s going well, right?]
[I’m doing… well, hehe]
[Getting caught watching Daeju’s stream might be okay, but getting caught watching this stream would be really bad]
[I’d rather get caught watching porn]
“Yes! It seems to be going well!”
Vine answered brightly and energetically, while the chat had somewhat strange reactions.
I was worried he might stream timidly after seeing yesterday’s behavior, but his bright appearance was reassuring first. And watching him play LoL while reading chat, he was even Challenger. His proficiency was evident in how calmly he caught CS while responding, without missing any.
I’m envious.
“They just like it when you curse at them!”
[Daeju: Excuse me? Cursing?]
[Yes~ You didn’t mishear~]
[lololol Culture shock in 5 minutes~]
What did he do? Curse?
Who? Instead of viewers cursing, he curses at the viewers?
“Is that possible?”
While I was pondering with countless question marks floating in my head, a donation came in right on cue.
[Park Jiyoung has donated 10,000 won.]
– Curse at me
“Ah Park Jiyoung-nim!”
They really appeared.
Someone who wants to be cursed at while donating ten thousand won.
Well, there might be one or two such people.
These kinds of people occasionally appeared in my room too.
I was curious about Vine’s reaction.
Would he really curse?
“I can clearly see your disgusting behavior of wanting to be cursed at while paying ten thousand won~ Please donate more next time~♥”
[Oh shit lolol]
[Thanks for the reward]
[Found the stream I’ve been looking for^^]
[Daeju: …Keep up the good work with your stream!]
I escaped like I was running away.
Vine’s mocking nasal voice was something else.
It was a stream I couldn’t handle anymore.
Just yesterday he was trembling in his room, suffering because women called him handsome.
Saying he definitely couldn’t stream.
Is it money?
Did money change him like this?
Or is it the satisfaction of being able to return the treatment he received, being able to curse at women?
Either way, it wasn’t an easy stream for me to watch.
It was fortunate that the viewers seemed very satisfied.
Fortunate… yeah, fortunate…
About two hours later, when Vine ended their stream, I started mine.
“Hello everyone… Did you all watch Vine-nim’s stream?”
[Daeha~]
[Yeah watched it]
[It was kind of arousing]
[Want to ravish]
[For real, really want to teach him a lesson in bed lol]
“Now, now, everyone, you shouldn’t talk like that in Vine-nim’s room”
[Yeah you only allow this in your stream]
[lololol that’s true]
[Daeju whose impact feels suspiciously good]
[For real, when cursing at a man, the reaction somehow feels both manly and womanly, so the impact feels good]
That unidentifiable impact probably comes from me not being from this world.
Anyway, it was reassuring to hear they don’t act like this in other rooms.
“It was quite a… unique stream”
[For real lolol I couldn’t handle it so I ran away]
[?? The stream was fu*king good, you just don’t get it]
[Seriously, I pity you guys who don’t understand the excellence of that stream]
[Watched it because he’s good at LoL]
[He kept lightly scratching at us, I’m so annoyed I’m gonna curse at that bastard Daeju today]
ㄴ [Has been forcibly removed]
[Oh lololol pre-emptive ban lolol]
Everyone agreed that it was a unique stream.
I thought it would be a stream with distinct love-it-or-hate-it reactions, but except for a very small minority, everyone seemed to enjoy it. Of course, those who didn’t watch were asking in chat what kind of stream it was.
Well, since most of my viewers are a group gathered to write spicy chat messages, they might have just left after seeing Vine’s chat rules, or not watched at all.
So I tried to explain what kind of stream it was, partly to promote it, but it was difficult to explain.
“Um… First of all, he’s LoL Challenger. Amazing, right? A man being Challenger…”
Actually, even as I was saying it, I wondered if it was really amazing.
Most LoL Challengers I knew were men, but this world was different.
I could tell just by looking at the chat reactions.
[Oh a man is Challenger lolol]
[Moreover, he was playing top]
[How dare a man enter the sacred top lane!]
[For real, so unmanlylike lolol]
[Makes me want some menminism]
That menminism thing, perhaps…
No way. It can’t be.
I needed to continue explaining about Vine’s stream next… but I was lost in thought.
A stream where they curse at you? A mocking stream?
I couldn’t find the appropriate words.
“It’s kind of like… an arrogant stream…”
[lololol it is, isn’t it?]
[Watch it if you like being cursed at or looked down upon]
[??? What kind of stream is this exactly lololol]
[By the way, even if you get angry at the stream, don’t curse there, curse here lolol]
[Right, someone cursed and he got so scared lololol that coward Vine lolol]
It was difficult, but I managed to explain it somewhat well.
Thanks to some viewers who provided additional explanations.
Then I told the viewers about the content I had prepared for today.
“Now, today is Purge Day”
[What’s that?]
[Isn’t that the movie where they kill everyone?]
[?? So you’re saying you’re going to kill everyone today?]
“It’s the day of the great purge… chat logs on point”
[trembling trembling trembling]
[Everyone run away!]
[fu*k lolol is it collection day today?]
[Looking for ways to delete chat logs urgent;;;]
I decided to start the great purge to filter out the toxic elements that came with the rapid increase in viewers.
