LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 19
[Hyebam returns like a dog after a month lol]
What do you mean six months of self-reflection? A month is plenty!
– Aren’t you worried about public opinion? So brazen…
ㄴ??? She didn’t do anything wrong, did she? Is she just rambling without knowing the facts? lol
ㄴFluidity is science, right?
ㄴIsn’t it a bit over the top to bury her just because she collabed a couple of times with ‘that member’? lol
ㄴFact) The people here buried her harder than anyone else.
– So you’re just leaving her in a collab after all that?
ㄴA mental strength trained by countless water buffaloes.
[If Hyebam is plotting a comeback, Pyo-dor and Imir will be here soon too?]
Imir maybe, but Pyo-dor… lol
– Honestly, Pyo-dor has been too friendly with Bebe Good lately.
ㄴGasp
ㄴGasp gasp, oh my!
ㄴPlease hold back on the banned words!
“Alright, public opinion is very positive.”
Shia was browsing various communities, checking public opinion about the broadcast return notice.
During the whirlpool of burying opinions back then, she was so frustrated she couldn’t sleep properly, but during the past month, she was able to earnestly return to her main job as a college student without stress—how convenient!
Since it had been a while since she last broadcasted, she made sure to prepare thoroughly.
Shia had been streaming for less than three years, but she first gained significant recognition after appearing in “Documentary 4 Days.”
Perhaps even more fame than the main character of “Documentary 4 Days (Legacy of Legends Edition),” the first-line professional gamer ‘Retro,’ as she was the only existing female in the celestial realm.
Thanks to her avatar and voice modulation program, which made it hard to tell whether she was female or male on Twish, she was able to confirm her gender more distinctly than anyone else.
Just in case, she reviewed the comments on the announcement to check for any strange reactions.
[This is Twish streamer Hyebam. As a surprise for my return, I have a shocking collab planned!]
– Is it gonna be Bebe Good?
ㄴThey’re currently in jail.
ㄴDo you have to come in here just to cause trouble?
– It’s a comeback broadcast and a collab, how exciting!
– If the broadcast is late again today, I’m going over to pull your ponytail and turn it into twin tails.
ㄴThat’s scarier than saying you’re coming with a knife, lol.
“Are you ready? Shall we start the broadcast?”
“Do I really have to wear this?”
The cat ear headband was incredibly cumbersome.
However, since this bizarre headband was supposedly a voice-sharing microphone for the collab, she couldn’t just throw it away and refuse.
“It’s cute! It’s fine; you won’t even notice it while gaming. The broadcast starts in 5 seconds.”
The countdown began.
If you ask if she’s nervous, then yes, she is. Very much.
From birth, she never liked being in front of people.
Her human relationships were always narrow and deep.
You could question whether they were truly deep now, but undoubtedly they were narrow.
In Shia’s waiting room, which was chaotically decorated with colorful posters and wallpaper, a pop of the lights unfolded.
[Starting Streaming: 0:00:01 – Hyebam]
“Ban-ha~ Annyeong annyeong!”
– Ban-ha
– Ban-ha ban-ha ban-ha ban-ha ban-ha ban-ha
– Ban-ha
– Bro, why are you so awkward? lol is it because it’s been so long?
– Welcome back!
– Ban-ha ban-ha
Still, only Shia was on the camera.
She adeptly adjusted the camera angles and lighting, demonstrating her professional streaming skills.
“Streaming feels so new, I’m nervous! After a month of, uh… not a vacation but a reflection period, I was so bored I thought I was dying.”
[‘DubuHanmo’ donated 10,000 won!]
– Here, have some tofu!
“Thank you, DubuHanmo! Well, I managed to safely release from my… situation. It happened!”
– Is anyone voluntarily going to jail?
– lololol
– Where did you go?
“I’m a loner, where would I go? I started out trying to prep for classes but gave up and just played ranked in preseason.”
[‘Delete’ donated 50,000 won!]
– No need to explain; we all know lol Congrats on your return, Hyebam!
“If you’re going to say it that way, it makes me feel kinda weird, Delete-oppa? It’s been a while since we saw each other, where’s the attachment? Thanks for the 50,000 anyway!”
– That person plays ranked ten times a day; I’ve seen it.
– I won’t say anything, but can you go outside for a bit?
– Maybe take a shower too.
– And clean your room.
– Don’t just order takeout for every meal!
“I can manage on my own, alright? And I shower every day! And are you all my mom now?”
In a short time, her emotional state flipped back and forth several times. Is this what live compressed streaming is?
Shia happily greeted viewers as she received various welcoming donations.
She adjusted the screen’s ratio a bit, but the camera pulled back, leaving the screen feeling emptier than before.
“Okay, as announced, I want to introduce today’s collab content. The reason I didn’t announce the collab partner or what we’d do today? There’s a reason for that; it’s a properly prepared surprise.”
[‘Rebranto’ donated 2,000 won!]
– For something like that, you released the notice hastily in the morning; isn’t this collab just sudden?
“Well, that does apply a little, but honestly, I’ve been planning this for a few years now, so you can’t really say it’s wrong.”
– What are you saying, lololol
– Ban sound ON
– Caught, right? The stink is already rising!
“Before I reveal the person, let’s talk about today’s content. No, actually, this week’s content: it’s been decided as a ranked climb since a new season opens today. bang bang bang.”
– It’s what you always do.
– Are we headed for the abyss?
“But! Just grinding won’t be fun! From this season onward, we’ll be trying ranked duo again. It was removed back in the day due to fairness issues, but I think they’ve decided to bring it back because it lacked fun?”
Shia’s lips curled into a sly grin. She displayed her rank from the last season boldly in the game info window.
“Can you see it? The gap between you and me?”
[Hyebam becomes Challenger / Ladder Ranking 186th / Top 0.00239%]
“So for this duo, the partner will be this person. I won’t reveal them right away, so let’s show their stats first.”
[■■■■■■ Bronze III / Ladder Ranking 6,880,996th / Top 88.71%]
She intentionally obscured the nickname. It was a strategy to keep viewers’ curiosity stirred until the start of the game.
After all, just relying on the avatar alone doesn’t differentiate the numerous users around the world.
“Alright, please come out!”
As Shia gestured, I approached her side. The viewer count indicator behind the camera surpassed 3,000.
“Hello.”
– Who are you…?
– Your avatar is really kawaii!
– Nice to meet you!
The reactions were lukewarm. After all, with Shia’s lack of explanation, my avatar looked like an ordinary girl.
Viewers bombarded us with question marks.
“This person is genuinely really really really really well-known in the LoL scene, you know? But honestly, today is the first time I’ve talked to them, so we’ll be using this collab to get to know each other.”
– Famous, but I don’t really know who they are (actually said)
– Did you just bring a random Kingban?
– To sum it up, it’s a ranked duo content between Bronze and Challenger then?
After that, she introduced the usual tier-accomplishment donation conditions commonly used on the Twish platform.
However, this time, she revised the condition as follows:
“How about we set the goal to climb to Master within a week? I don’t really know how skilled they are, but I don’t think they’ll be terrible or anything.”
[Mission – Reach Master in 70 games or less]
*
Master.
A term used to refer to those who have mastered something.
Swordmaster is one example.
But in modern times, there are far too many masters. Their fame has dulled just as much.
Within the entire League of Legends, their number is estimated to be around 10,000, but proportionally, they are not existences you can commonly see around you.
Perhaps that’s why the viewers were cold.
No matter how Challenger she was, attempting to take a Bronze up to Master seemed like an impossible task.
However, just as there is a narrative that breaks such facts, they were betting on Shia’s mission, believing themselves in the value of the significant scenery that exceeds their bets if she succeeded.
“You definitely won’t succeed, but if you do, you will show me something more valuable than the money I bet.”
[An invitation has been sent]
[Solo Rank Season 2051]
[Under Entry]
[NoName has entered]
“What do you think? You believe I’m going to fail? Are you all so sure?”
The new component on my avatar’s upper display showed six letters in the alphabet.
Now it has become my name.
“Hello. Once again, please treat me well. My name is NoName.”
It’s time to unveil myself to the world.
