LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 751
[Huh… List of streamers snooping on NoName’s live broadcast]
[Watching this broadcast with 157 other streamers]
└ Whoa, that’s a lotㅋㅋㅋ
└ There’s even an 8 million streamer
└ Na-me coin is sweet~
A content that combines mass appeal, professionalism, and cuteness all in one.
Na-me’s retrospective broadcasts were already well-known among the Magic Duel related personnel.
[From here on, it’s a bit of an advanced process. Just by planting submissions, there are quite a few advantages. I tried it here, and the opponent immediately took it away. That means I gain about 0.5 seconds, so when you combine that for all 7 times, it totals to 3.5 seconds. Later on, that can yield a considerable force equivalent to performing one more competitive turn against the opponent.]
“What? Okay, hold on. I understand that planting is what you mean, but how on earth do you gain 3.5 seconds?”
The Magic Duel commentator and streamer Nix furrowed his brow during the broadcast.
Na-me’s statements were filled with claims that seemed incomprehensible.
“So, it’s like I jab with my left hand and then throw a hook with my right hand. What’s the advantage here? Isn’t it just common psychological warfare?”
-lol
-Gonna check that out when the broadcast resumes, right?
-Do your best, Nix!
‘Right, he said he’ll explain it in detail later. Let’s wait and see.’
And just like that, his trust was betrayed in an instant.
[Part 2 will begin.]
Na-me appeared dramatically after logging into VR.
She jumped lightly and dove right into the portal below the floor.
[NoName]
[Phobia Museum – Part 1 Retrospective / Part 2 VR Training]
[Broadcasting Time – 1:12:08]
[Number of Viewers – 570,115]
“Huh?”
[▶Realistic Level: 0.9]
[⚠ Warning]
[Playing in high realistic levels may incur trauma and shock, thus those who are faint-hearted, pregnant, or elderly should take caution while proceeding in the game.]
“Ughhhh! Training was supposed to be courage training, wasn’t it?!”
Nix and a multitude of other streamers found themselves in a predicament.
And this news quickly spread throughout the community.
[NoName) If you’re watching Part 2, good luck skipping Part 1, losers ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
(Phobia Museum – Realistic 0.9)
You guys have to see thisㅋㅋ

“Am I late? Sorry, sorry.”
A group of people huddled at the entrance of the museum.
“Uwaaaa! She’s here, she’s here!”
“Na-me, it’s been a while…!”
“Kariri, hello, hello. Yudi, nice to see you too. Everyone’s avatars have changed.”
“Yeah, we had a visual update a few weeks ago! What do you think, pretty?”
“I think people will find it very cute.”
“Phew, thank goodness. Na-me, should I invite you to the chat window?”
“Yeah, please do.”
[💬 Chat Category: Common / Kariri / U-Dex / Adella / NoName(new!)]
[+574,821]
-Whoa, what’s with the lag?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This is the first time I’ve seen Twish’s chat lag like this ㄷㄷ
-Insane scale
-Adella’s buff is attracting a lot, but it’s still just a handfulㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Combining all three of them, it’s still a 10-fold difference ㅁㅊㅋㅋ
-Going full Na-me Max
“Should we go in now?”
“Uuuuuhhh…”
Adella, who just got cat ears and a tail after a long time, was clearly showing her reluctance to enter with her expression.
“Well, Adella said it’s not scary at all in the beginning, so ha ha…”
Kariri gently encouraged Adella, pushing her towards the museum stairs.
On the way to the entrance, there were various exhibits to see.
♪ ♬ ~
A ballet doll the size of a person spun around on its right foot.
“Is it a person? Oh, it’s probably a music box doll.”
“Sooo cute. If it’s just like this, it should be manageable.”
Yudi suddenly approached me and flicked her tongue out.
“Oooh. Sis, are you good at horror games?”
“Hehe, I think I’m decent enough.”
[▶Realistic Level: 0.1]
“Oh. Sis, your mode is too easy. I’ll raise the level for you.”
I stood on my tiptoes and touched the settings above Yudi’s head.
As soon as I did—
“Ahhh nooo!”
“?”
“I’m, I’m sorry. I’ll just keep it as is…! Boss, Adella! Hurry up!”
Yudi quickly concealed the settings and rushed up the stairs.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-All three of them are at 0.1, what’s that!!!
-It’s bad to act strong in front of Na-me ㄹㅇ…
-ㅋㅋㅋ She’s truly pure evil
-Not afraid at all, and immediately changes itㅋㅋㅋ
-But honestly, it’s not that scary? How does it look from Na-me’s perspective?
[‘Wait there three times’ donator has donated 20,000 won!]
-You guys shouldn’t watch Na-me’s broadcast. I feel like I’ll lose my mind before it even starts…
“Hah, everyone’s so overdramatic. Look, our room’s viewers are acting like it’s nothing.”
I briefly opened the chat window.
[💬 NoName]
-AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
-Did it start already? Did it start? I can’t watch, damn it!
-Isn’t that a ballerina? I just got scared
-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-Na-me AAAAAAHHHHH!
-I’ll close my eyes and hold on to the screen—
-Live broadcast: Currently, a doll with no eyes is shedding blood tears and spinning with a torn mouth
└ Thanks. You’ve completely removed any desire to watch.
└ Thank you. Thank you.
└ I also want to get out of here
There, the outer demon realm had already unfolded.
“Alright then. Let’s go normalize the museum. Let’s go.”
I clapped my hands and entered the museum.
[Phobia Museum]
[Phobia level monsters have escaped.]
[Emergency: Closing the museum.]
* * *
They say there’s nothing scarier than playing a horror game in virtual reality.
What was only sensed through sight and sound now approaches through all five senses.
Perhaps due to this, horror game developers continue to release alongside computer versions.
That supposedly allows them to maintain sales figures.
Shudder, shudder, shudder—
“Scary. This is seriously terrifying already.”
“So what’s our purpose? Do you know, boss?”
“Purpose? I don’t know. Does anyone know?”
Adella and Kariri hugged each other as they walked down the iron corridor.
“Didn’t you hear anything when we first entered?”
“Hmm…”
“I was too scared to focus…!”
“Hmm, so supposedly, phobias are lurking around the museum right now. So I guess the state is considering dropping a nuclear bomb here.”
“Oh…”
“But there are other treasures in the museum as well, and many relatively safe monsters. If we retrieve the assigned amount, they say we’ll get rewards.”
“And if we can’t meet the quota…?”
“Then we die, I guess.”
“Why! What did we do wrong!”
“We accidentally let the phobias escape while partying all night in the museum.”
“Ah.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-“They were really something elseㅋㅋㅋ
-Museum’s crying out
-Yudi is so reassuring
“Clang—!”
“Gyaaah!”
“Ueek!”
“Huah!”
Short, fleeting scream sounds.
The elevator doors at the end of the hallway opened on their own.
“Guess we have to get on, right?”
“Yup. Let’s go.”
We finally arrived at the museum information desk.
It was the only place with bright lights.
“Phew. I thought I was gonna die…”
Kariri sighed deeply and wiped her forehead.
“Here’s the shop, and it has portals for sending treasures and monsters we collected.”
“Flashlights! It’s essential to buy flashlights first when you come in.”
“Well, I bought 4 flashlights. Where should we go first?”
[Sun/Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat]
“We checked out the 8 sectors.”
“I’m not sure, but isn’t Earth the safest?”
“Yeah, let’s go to Earth. Earth.”
“Oh, Yudi, I suddenly feel confident! Let’s go, let’s go!”
“Kyaaah, let’s go!”
“Hey guys, the walkie-talkies—”
Before I could finish, the kids darted into the sector.
‘Well, if it’s urgent, I can convey it through the broadcast, right?’
I put down the walkie-talkie I was planning to buy and headed towards ‘Gateway: Earth’.
[Sector C]
[Earth]
[Current danger level is ‘S’.]
[Appearance time: 00:00 ~ 24:00]
Wiiinng—
As the screen door opened, there was nothing but thick darkness all around.
Click—
When I turned on the flashlight, all the members had vanished.
“Where did everyone go?”
-AAAAAHHHH! What’s happening?
-Must be due to the anomaly, right?
-S level earth is kinda roughㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-NO-NO-NAME got left behind, what do I do!
I read the notification message.
[Anomaly: Black Fog]
[The distance is distorted, causing players to be summoned to different locations. Be cautious of movements in the fog and strive for survival.]
Beeep— Beep— Beep—!
Currently, I was standing on a steel temporary passage above the factory.
A red siren blared, alerting about a gas leak on the 5th underground floor.
Surely, the members must be gathering over there too?
I pulled up a replay screen and started the retrospective broadcast.
“Thanks for waiting! I’ll be providing commentary while we explore around. First off, the pig tail I referred to earlier is a phenomenon known as the Cessna Vortex. As the aura spins forcefully within one’s body, the energy density around it increases, forming vortices…”
Suddenly, I stopped walking.
-What? Why? Why?
-What’s happening?
-AAAAAHHHH!!!
-It’s… it’s floating!!!
-AAAAAHHHHHH! Don’t do this to me!
A long-necked ghost with elongated limbs stared at me from a distance.
‘Isn’t it not moving?’
Swoosh—
The ghost began to approach me.
Its red eyes were quite striking.
[Kieeeek!]
-Is this 0.9? Is this really 0.9?
-I was curious, but shut it off immediately.
-I’m scared to even watch on my phone; how can they be so brave?
-I gotta run! What are you doing!
‘That ghost’s legs might allow it to slip through.’
I lightly hopped and began to dash forward.
Tak, tak, tak, tak—!
“As a vortex forms, if the intensity and direction of the output remain stable, the vortex’s pattern will take on periodicity, resulting in such shapes. Thus, if one knows how to handle the Demon King’s Horn properly, haaaah!”
[GUOOO!]
KAAA-KANG—!
The long-necked ghost reached out to grab me.
But with enough acceleration, I slipped between its legs.
“Whew! You should be able to easily grasp the pre-opening maneuver, right? Just because you lost the initiative doesn’t mean it’s an unfair battle. I think everyone’s curiosity has been satisfied, so let’s move on to the next scene.”
I was able to pass through the narrow corridor.
[‘Lemon Strawberry’ donator has donated 10,000 won!]
-Why is this person shooting an action film in a horror game?
Thump—
I suddenly tapped the long-necked ghost’s leg.
Just out of curiosity.
[Kyaaah!]
Woosh—
As the ghost swung its arm, I kneeled and bent backward.
KWA-CHAAAAAA—!
Three sharp blades sliced through the wall like paper.
“Ah, it seems that without a weapon, damage won’t go through. Huh? A hidden elevator!”
-What the hellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wait, what?
-Mad gimmick usageㅋㅋㅋ
-So it could be used that way?
-0.9, and it’s kinda fun, isn’t it?
-Is this actually fun? It looks terrifying…
Quickly getting into the elevator, I pressed the 5th underground floor button.
Beep—
[The door is closing]
[Kuwaah!]
[The door is closing]
[Kuwaah!]
Beeep-beep-beep-beep—
[The door is closing]
[Kuwaah!]
“Aah! Stop putting your hands in! The door won’t close!”
I kicked the long-necked ghost’s chin with my foot in mid-air.
The ghost, who received a slight knockback, was pushed out of the elevator.
“Monsters may look scary, but they’re more foolish than expected. Right?”
-It’s incredible, reallyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Scary (while sliding between its legs)
-Scary (while tapping the still legs)
-Oh yeah, it’s scary (while tossing its paws)
-Isn’t that a long-necked ghost? Did it always look that scary?
-That’s rightㅋㅋ Two hits and it’s gone
[B2]
I was probably on the 1st underground floor.
[B3]
The scenery changed slightly with each floor I descended.
[B4]
And around the 4th underground floor, a sound was heard.
“Gyaaah!”
“Elevator! When is the elevator coming!”
“It’s almost here!”
“Ah, there’s a monster in there…! Gyaaah!”
“Ughhhh… so where are we going?”
“Let’s go together!”
[The door opens]
The safari members had already left me behind.
I stood in the elevator, dumbfounded, waiting silently.
‘Aren’t they all fools?’
[The door is closing]
But there was a reason for that.
[Chik-chik-chik-chik-chik-chik]
A human-shaped monster was sticking to the elevator doors like a frog.
-!!!!!!
-Wow, whoa
-Damn it
-Hik
-😱😱😱😱😱
-Please stopㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[Broadcasting Time – 1:27:25]
[Number of Viewers – 451,365 (-130,914)]
It was the great performance of the ‘Paper Man’ that caused me to lose 130,000 viewers from my live broadcast.
“W-wait! No! Everyone, don’t go away…!”
