Why did I fall this far?

 

Honestly, at first it was just simple curiosity.

 

I didn’t have any plans about what I’d do if it worked or what my intentions were.

 

Just.

 

“Huh? What’s this, I can register myself?”

 

I could put my character in the Auction House registration item selection, so I just tried it.

 

[ Registration complete! ]

 

“Oh, what? This actually works.”

 

I was just amazed that it actually worked.

 

– Hahahahahahahaha

 

– Hahahahaha wow this actually works

 

– But won’t this cause problems later?

 

– Isn’t this working itself a bug?

 

– I guess I can just ask them to cancel it lol

 

“Should I? But I already pressed the cancel button several times and it didn’t work, do the administrators need to do it directly?”

 

– Yeah, seems like it

 

– So let’s talk about it later lol

 

– Just mention it before participating

 

– For now just have some fun with this

 

After that, I thought there was no need to think about it too complicated, so I just left the Auction House.

 

Since it became a good light conversation topic with everyone I met, I just went around spreading the word.

 

“Mungi! I heard there was something really big that happened…”

 

“Dal-geun… You understand my sorrow.”

 

“But just how much… how much was it that it’s in that position… It would be troublesome if you take everything.”

 

“…”

 

I met with Dal-geun too.

 

“EV, I tried registering myself at the Auction House, and it worked.”

 

“Yes, what?”

 

I met EV too.

 

“Hello, Lera.”

 

“Oh, Mungi. Are you Fishing too?”

 

“No, I was just spreading the word because I found it amazing that I got registered at the Auction House.”

 

“Ah, that works? Selling people?”

 

“It’s probably a bug, so I’ll ask them to cancel it before the auction starts.”

 

I met Lera too.

 

“Mungi! Are you okay?! It’s my fault for introducing that per, pervert…”

 

“I’m really fine, so you don’t need to worry.”

 

“…Ahem, yes…”

 

“But I tried registering myself at the Auction House? And it actually worked, isn’t that really amazing?”

 

“Ah, ah… Eh? The Auction House?”

 

“Yes.”

 

I also met Jjining.

 

That was just all there was to it.

 

What more was there to do?

 

Exploration Zone 3 hadn’t opened yet, so there was nothing to do raid-related.

 

Equipment enhancement content would be coming tomorrow.

 

Right now, all I could do was greet and chat with people whenever I met them + gather enhancement materials.

 

Then, when it was time for the live auction to proceed.

 

“Administrator, um… I found out that I’m registered as an item in the auction house. So I think I need to cancel this. I was just fooling around… I’m sorry.”

 

I called the administrator Hyujojeong and explained the situation, asking to cancel the item listing, and that would be the end of it.

 

I thought this would just be another light and enjoyable day as Merk!

 

“…Oh, Mungi. I’m really sorry but… this can’t be cancelled… because of a bug…”

 

“Huh?”

 

That was until I heard that it couldn’t be cancelled.

 

“Mungi, since it’s come to this, how about participating in the live auction?”

 

“Participating… not as a participant… but participating…?”

 

“Since you’re registered as a product… this is our first time with the live auction system too, and quite a few people will be coming… um, well… think of it as an opportunity…?”

 

“Uh, why are you trying so hard to convince me?”

 

“Because it’s fun.”

 

– Hahahahahahahahaha

 

– P U R E F U N

 

– ??? : This is a story you started

 

– Ta-da! These are your human rights

 

– What is this, give it back

 

– Why are these your human rights

 

Hyujojeong’s character enthusiastically nodded up and down while continuing to speak.

 

“Mungi… isn’t life all about experience? This will be an experience too.”

 

“What kind of experience is suddenly becoming a slave to some rich person?”

 

“Shut up, just quietly participate in the live auction.”

 

“…Hyujojeong?”

 

“Ah, sorry. Thinking that the time for your human rights to be stripped away is approaching… my inner instincts…”

 

– ??? : Hey just do it

 

– Hahahahahahahahaha

 

– Around 190cm tall, great body, ridiculously good-looking face, sings well, straightforward personality < This guy just put himself on the market, you know? lol

 

– He went up to the auction house on his own? Are you in your right mind?

 

Human rights being stripped away? Wait, this is really problematic, isn’t it?

 

But perhaps my bewilderment got through to them.

 

“I’m joking. How could we buy and sell people?”

 

Hyujojeong seemed to show a tone that truly understood my situation.

 

“That’s right, isn’t it?”

 

“Yes, of course.”

 

“Thank goodness…”

 

“I think we shouldn’t sell people, but buy and sell people’s time. Mungi, boldly invest your day in the Hyubang Server.”

 

I was immediately hit in the back of the head.

 

+++++

 

The news that Mungi would be put up in the Real-time Auction House spread rapidly throughout the server in no time.

 

With the global chat function, everyone could know just by typing a few lines.

 

And since Mungi himself had been enthusiastically promoting that he was registered as an item in the auction house.

 

A structure was completed where even people who weren’t interested naturally became interested.

 

Moreover, it happened to be the first day the Real-time Auction House opened?

 

Any streamer who didn’t participate here would be practically clueless.

 

“I knew a lot of people would come, but seeing it like this, there are more than I thought.”

 

Hyujojeong, who was set to conduct the real-time auction, looked at the square characters filling up the seats.

 

Then he briefly checked the time.

 

As soon as he judged it was time to start, he immediately grabbed the microphone and raised his voice.

 

“Alright then! Let’s officially begin the real-time auction!”

 

“Waaaaaaah!”

 

Unlike the initial cheers that were heard.

 

In reality, the real-time auction itself wasn’t an atmosphere that could be rowdy.

 

Until the ‘main item’ came out, it was just a quiet bidding paddle war.

 

Since the server had been running for almost a week now.

 

Everyone had brought out quite rare items, but compared to the main item, they seemed to lack impact.

 

“Hmm…”

 

“Ahem.”

 

“Mmm.”

 

Everyone made Merk resident sounds while proceeding with the auction with lukewarm reactions.

 

And then finally.

 

“Today’s main item! It’s Mungi!”

 

The moment the main item slowly appeared inside the iron cage.

 

– Hahahahahahahahahaha

 

– But why is he inside an iron cage?

 

– They really turned a person into a circus animal

 

– How can he be human when his human rights have been stripped away

 

– For real

 

– The premise itself is wrong, just think of him as not human

 

– How can you think that way lololololol

 

Starting with the chat room reactions.

 

“Wow, this is crazy? Mungi, this is…”

 

“Let’s just buy him straight through auction and open a maid cafe, put him in a maid outfit and have him serve customers!”

 

“What are you talking about! Our restaurant! We’ll have him work as a singer at our restaurant, like a nightclub singer… hehehe.”

 

“Ugh, I can’t stand it. I’m just going to blow all my fortune and buy him, Mungi come here!!!”

 

Even the reactions from the streamers.

 

Truly explosive reactions were bursting out.

 

It couldn’t be helped.

 

Where else could you find entertainment like this?

 

Moreover.

 

Clank clank.

 

“Everyone! Open your eyes! You’re being deceived! This is a bug! This isn’t a legitimate procedure!”

 

“Mungi, you registered yourself at the Auction House, what are you talking about.”

 

“I said it’s a bug!!!”

 

“Shut up!!!

 

Bzzzzt.

 

– Hahahahahahaha

 

– What, why does Merk have a taser gun

 

– Hey now, it’s not a taser gun, it’s a non-lethal device for subduing merchandise!

 

– That’s the same thing

 

Mungi’s actions were so good too, the atmosphere kept getting livelier and livelier.

 

You could see the expressions of streamers who had been indifferent until now suddenly come alive.

 

Anyway, that’s how the auction started.

 

“100 Hyubang Coins!”

 

“Wow, what, it’s going that high?”

 

“We’re buying one day… but realistically we’re buying broadcast time so it’s not even 24 hours, right?”

 

“Why are so many people bidding?”

 

– But how much is 100 Hyubang Coins

 

– 1 Hyubang Coin, it’s not exact conversion but think of it as roughly 10,000 won, since you get 5 Hyubang Coins from a 50,000 won Special Box

 

– So right now Mungi’s 24 hours is worth 1 million won?

 

– Shivering/trembling

 

– Aren’t there many places to use Hyubang Coins? Is it okay to spend them like this

 

– You’ll figure it out ㅋ

 

– What if spending 100 Hyubang Coins lets you earn even more?

 

– Mungi’s time is precious

 

– But just so you know, you can also earn coins with in-game currency ㅇㅇ

 

– So if you played the game really hard you’d have a lot of money?

 

– To begin with, the 5 special box break coins feel like duds anyway lol like cookies or food, that kind of thing yeah

 

A fierce battle continued.

 

Actually, there’s no real battle in an auction.

 

When everyone wants the same item, there’s only one strategy.

 

Keep attacking, drive the auction price up until the opponent gives up bidding.

 

And at the same time, showing my determination.

 

That I will continue to enter the bidding.

 

That I will get that item regardless of the price.

 

“101 Hyubang Coin.”

 

“110 Hyubang Coin.”

 

“111 Hyubang Coin.”

 

“121 Hyubang Coin.”

 

The price keeps rising, and as it rises, people gradually start giving up on the auction.

 

About 20 seconds pass like this.

 

“143 Hyubang Coin.”

 

The atmosphere of the auction, which seemed like it would rise endlessly, changes.

 

Currently, three streamers remain.

 

“150 Hyubang Coin.”

 

“Wait, this really seems like it’ll go up endlessly. How about we just buy it together and split the time?”

 

Mumiming, who feels sorry and wants Mungi’s human rights liberation.

 

Dal-geun, who wants to open a Maid Cafe and make Mungi a special maid.

 

Kim Gonggong, who got hooked after tasting explosive view counts right after Mungi appeared on YouTube.

 

They thought that in the worst case, this auction would just drive up the price ridiculously.

 

And eventually one last person would be stuck with the burden.

 

“We were each thinking of paying up to 150 anyway… so let’s raise it to 450 Hyubang Coin, then pay 150 coins each… excluding Mungi’s sleep time and meal time… let’s say 12 hours of work and split it 4 hours each.”

 

So Kim Gonggong proposed a solution.

 

“Then I want to make Mungi free for 4 hours. So I’ll take the last time slot, since getting off work early is important.”

 

Mumiming immediately accepted that proposal.

 

“I’d like the second time slot. So… after Kim Gonggong finishes, that’s exactly late night hours… good for special maid business.”

 

Dal-geun, who had been quietly watching this, also accepted the proposal.

 

As soon as the three reached an agreement, they immediately purchased Mungi for 150 Hyubang Coin each.

 

– Purchasing Mungi < This wording is too violent

 

– Mungi purchase hehehe

 

– Uhh

 

– Mungi thing let me touch it once too /This viewer has been banned.

 

“…To think I’m being purchased.”

 

“But you only have to suffer for 8 hours.”

 

“Why is suffering for 8 hours confirmed?”

 

“Well, because you’re a product.”

 

“Dongto dotto… dongto dotto… dongto dotto…”

 

“I have absolutely no intention of giving you the escape route of death.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Kim Gonggong, who got to use the time first, exchanged a few words with Mungi.

 

“Actually, I also want to give you freedom, Mungi.”

 

“Really?!”

 

“Yes, but instead of 4 hours… I have this blind date content later, and it’s like a one-day date format? Just appear in that once…”

 

“Wouldn’t a one-day date be more than 4 hours?”

 

“I’ll finish it within 2 hours.”

 

“I agree to that.”

 

I immediately escaped from 4 hours of slavery by agreeing to appear in a future 1:1 one-day date content.

 

Now the last thing remaining was Dal-geun’s Maid Cafe.

 

“Mungi, I have no intention of making any agreements or negotiations. I’ll send you a Maid Outfit through Merk Skin, so change into that.”

 

He showed unwavering determination.

 

– That unwavering will lol

 

– My bitch has will

 

– My bitch is Mungi

 

And as if to prove that his determination was truly 100% sincere.

 

Exactly 2 hours later.

 

“Ah.”

 

My character was wearing a Maid Outfit skin.

 

“…The drums of liberation do not come. Where is Joy Boy…”

 

Mungi’s sorrowful monologue.

 

And what followed.

 

– Hahahahahahaha

 

– Looks like Mungchu definitely found what he was looking for lololol

 

– The maid I was looking for was here

 

– Ttaranta† That’s what you get for posting it as a joke

 

– I told you you’d regret it lolololol

 

– You didn’t say anything though

 

– Didn’t say anything because I was afraid you’d do something you wouldn’t regret

 

– High IQ

 

The viewers’ mockery.

 

Amidst all this humiliation and persecution, the choice Mungi made was.

 

Jingle jingle.

 

“Welcome… Master…”

 

“Say it louder!!!”

 

“Yesh…”

 

– What’s “yesh”?

 

– He’s barking like a dog

 

– Ugh

 

– Let me touch those once /This viewer has been banned.

 

– How much do I need to pay haha

 

It was surrender.

 

+++++++

 

To be born a man and wear a Maid Outfit.

 

‘No, it’s not actually wearing it, just a simple skin but… still, this is too much.’

 

Who would have thought I’d suffer such humiliation even with just a skin.

 

– As expected, Mungi is truly a man among men

 

– What are you talking about?

 

– Only men can do drag, right ㅇㅇ it’s proof of being a real man

 

– He’s got the goods but claims to be a woman~

 

– But he should have done it as actual Mamma lol

 

– Hmm is this Mamma? The Mamma who ruined that concert?

 

– Gasp

 

– Gasp

 

– That mention is banned

 

– Still can’t resist, Mungi’s goods ahh~ /This viewer has been banned.

 

– I only satisfy my lust with Mung Kiss

 

– Mung Kiss *3*

 

– Deep Mung Kiss =3=

 

– Innocent!!!

 

I just need to endure this for 4 hours, so I can bear it.

 

Besides, this would also be used as YouTube content immediately, so it wasn’t bad.

 

The current Mung-tube subscriber count was about 48,000.

 

At this rate, it seemed like I could really surpass the magical 100,000 soon.

 

Looking at the speed alone, growing this fast in less than a month

 

In my head, I was already a million-subscriber YouTuber.

 

‘With a million… would people recognize me… Hmm, should I practice signing autographs.’

 

While I was having such thoughts.

 

Ring ring.

 

“Mungi! You already got a request!”

 

“Yes, yes? Really?!”

 

– Really lol

 

– Why the awkward female speech pattern, but am I normal for getting slightly turned on?

 

– But the real normal one is Ghost Hunter Hisui who appeared today /This viewer has been banned

 

– Ugh damn trolls just get lost

 

– Toxic, so toxic. You’re still bringing that up? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

A request had come in.

 

And the owner of that request was none other.

 

“Ex-husband, why have you fallen so low?”

 

“…Huk.”

 

– Huk

 

– Why are you also saying “huk” with your mouth

 

– Making sound effects with your mouth… kinda seems like a girl lol

 

– Can I think of you as a girl right now?

 

– Mmm, mmm this is really getting a reaction Mungiiiii!!!

 

– I’m the representative of Yoran Garden and I became a maid for Nam X Chang in Eternal Winter ㅠㅠ

 

It was Lera.

 

Starting with Lera as the first customer,

 

Will I be able to survive 4 hours of maid life?
