Hello

The police arrived at the scene quickly.

The video of me holding the sword was confirmed as evidence, and the situation was resolved rapidly.

Up to this point, it was an expected result, so there was no problem.

“…Thank you so much. He was already following me around before, but back then I really… I only heard that the police couldn’t solve it, so I was giving up. But today… today like this… I’m really so… so grateful.”

I never expected EV to cry while expressing her gratitude.

She was rambling incoherently, apparently very shocked.

Even with trembling hands, she continued to express her thanks.

‘Well, she must have been really frightened, especially with the sword coming out… She probably thought it could have been pointed at her.’

He had actually grabbed the sword and almost swung it.

‘Ah, should I have just beaten him up more thoroughly?’

It could clearly be seen as attempted murder.

It was at a level where he’d have nothing to say even if he went to prison immediately.

I didn’t even think about mutual combat or self-defense or anything like that.

Why bother with such things in front of someone with a sword? Just beat them up.

“Once you calm down a bit, we’ll move locations and conduct a simple investigation.”

“Yes, thank you.”

So the police chose to talk with me rather than communicate with the crying EV.

I also thought that was right, so I obediently followed the police’s instructions.

“Sob… sniff… sob… Th-this is our first meeting… b-but you h-helped me like this, thank you so much.”

Just how much is she crying?

Looking at EV continuously expressing her gratitude while leaving behind sleeves covered in snot.

I didn’t say anything and just quietly stayed by her side.

Sometimes in situations like this, just standing there can be more helpful than saying something.

And I didn’t have the skill to comfort women anyway.

‘And honestly, right now I’d probably just ask questions rather than offer comfort.’

Why didn’t you say anything to your agency and endure it alone all this time?

Why did you try to handle the stalker situation by yourself?

In the worst case, this situation could be exposed to the community – do you have any countermeasures in mind, etc.

No matter how I thought about it, the sentences that came to mind right now didn’t seem appropriate for the situation.

‘Let’s just shut up and stay put.’

This thought turned out to be a truly excellent decision when I arrived at the police station.

Because.

“Ah… please make sure all investigations go through me.”

EV’s agency immediately sent a lawyer.

The lawyer came with the CEO, and they were looking at the stalker like they wanted to kill him.

Honestly, the atmosphere was so suffocating I thought I might die.

‘Still, I’m glad it ended quickly.’

By staying quiet, the entire situation resolved itself.

When I came to my senses, the agency representative was bowing deeply in front of the Police Station again.

“Really… thank you so much. If it weren’t for Mungi, something terrible could have happened… I will never forget this kindness.”

“Not at all. Anyone would have done the same. Please don’t be like this.”

“…Not just anyone could cleanly subdue a Stalker holding a Sword. I’m truly grateful.”

My feelings receiving this gratitude were strange.

A young representative in his late thirties was bowing so deeply.

‘Hmm, this feels a bit different from the gratitude I received during volunteer work.’

I kept saying it was fine while exchanging numbers with the representative.

After hearing him say he would definitely repay me 5 times, I was finally able to return home.

“Phew…”

Why did those roughly 30 minutes at the Police Station feel more tiring than walking 10km?

I should sleep first and think about it later.

+++++

At the time when Mungi was sleeping.

“3 years of broadcasting… his face is ridiculously handsome… hmm.”

Kim Ji-seon, the representative of EV’s Agency, was looking over Mungi’s, no, Yoo Jeong-moon’s profile.

She had said she wouldn’t forget this kindness, and had promised to repay him several times.

If she was going to repay him anyway, she wanted to give him something he needed right now.

So the first thing that came to mind was money.

“30 million won in cash…”

An amount that wouldn’t be too burdensome, just the right amount he could accept comfortably.

But she didn’t want to end it with just that.

He had saved an employee who was like a daughter to her, so she didn’t want to just give money and call it even.

That’s why the next thing that came to mind was broadcasting-related help.

But this wasn’t easy.

‘I absolutely have to prevent the Stalker incident from spreading, because that would definitely not have a positive impact on either of them.’

It was only fine because he subdued the threat quickly.

If this spread, it would definitely be at a level that would attract mass media attention.

Internet broadcasting, woman, Stalker.

Just listing those three words would be enough to draw people’s attention.

If she were to help with broadcasting.

‘I should just go with the feeling that I’m helping because I’m so grateful for this collaboration, so… if I help too enthusiastically, it might seem suspicious, so I need to help moderately and consistently.’

Collaborating frequently would be strange too.

And consistently donating wouldn’t make sense either.

The most ideal approach would be to guide him through the connection formed from this coincidental collaboration.

But when Kim Ji-seon tried to figure it out on her own, she couldn’t come up with a good answer.

“Ah, this is really quite difficult?”

“Sir, you don’t need to think of it as difficult at all.”

At CEO Kim Ji-seon’s words, EV, who had been sitting quietly beside her without saying anything.

Had been racking her brain about helping Mungi and came up with one solution.

“Let’s start by inviting him to the GTA Streamer Server, Yoran Garden this time.”

GTA Streamer Server, Yoran Garden.

As the name suggests, it’s a GTA Server run exclusively by streamers.

Of course, it doesn’t run permanently.

It’s where streamers gather together as a group and play together for several days as an event.

It was like a collaborative streaming event.

“Ah, ah! That would work!”

But naturally, such massive collaborative events usually had major streamers participating.

For Mungi, who didn’t even have 500 followers yet, participation would be difficult.

But that was something EV could easily solve by using her invitation privileges.

“And I’ll go around with him there, introducing him to people… I think that should work for now?”

Moreover, the GTA Streamer Server requires creating RP, that is, roleplaying characters.

Since novice streamers find it difficult to set up these characters, she could help with that too.

Using the Han River penalty sharing as a buildup starting point and doing a few collaborative streams together?

“He’ll naturally communicate with various people… Mungi’s stream will grow… and we’ll provide support for things like cameras too!”

“That’s good! Good! EV! You’re a genius!”

“…If I were really a genius, I would have told you immediately when the stalking started… I’m sorry.”

“Hey… why are you being like this when things were going well? And how is that your fault? The stalking bastard is the crazy one.”

The two quickly reached a conclusion.

And so Mungi’s participation in the GTA Server was tentatively decided in Mungi’s absence.

++++++

The morning after the stalking incident.

As always, I started ego searching with my name.

The search term was, as always, Mungi.

Tap tap tap.

‘Did I get some collaborative stream benefits?’

Internet broadcasting and communities have an inseparable relationship.

Understanding public opinion was essential as a broadcaster.

But.

[No search results]

“…”

Searching by latest results, I witnessed the truth that no one was talking about me.

“Huh.”

I thought I had made my name known to some extent.

Is the world really not interested in a small-timer who doesn’t even have 500 followers?

‘With Lera… I made my name known because Lera was such a big streamer, but this time there’s absolutely nothing.’

Well, there’s nothing controversial about me anyway.

It’s not like walking a mere 10km would get any mention.

Besides, in the internet broadcasting world, Major Corporation streamers always hog all the attention.

I guess the 10km walk was too weak after all.

‘Tsk.’

Putting my disappointment aside.

I faithfully followed the routine from non-existent memories that appeared after my body changed.

Morning run-meal-sleep-shit-Martial Arts-meal-shit.

After finishing this series of routines, it was 6 PM.

Time for broadcasting.

“Munha.”

– mh

– mh

– mh

Still, maybe because I did a collab with EV, as soon as I started streaming.

[Current Viewers: 32]

A whopping 32 viewers came into my room sharp as a Sword.

Is this the power of collabs?

The effect is definitely there.

While I was slowly thinking about what to do today.

– Mungi, don’t you participate in things like GTA Server?

– fr

– Ask them to let you join lol

– Promise you won’t cause a shitstorm at the concert and ask them to spin the Roulette just one more time

At the viewers’ words, I hung my head low at the dark history that came to mind.

“No, what Roulette should I spin… And would they even let me join? And after I caused all that chaos even with the Roulette, me?”

– But don’t worry, that’s why there’s no Roulette this time

– GTA Life Server is major content, so there’s no room for scrubs~

“Thanks for kindly letting me know, I’ll give you a ban as a reward.”

– But it’s really a shame, someone like Mungi should be able to join

– Mungi is good enough

– No way, you have the looks but can’t even get over 100 viewers with those looks?

– But Mungi is such a scrub that Regular Invitation Tickets won’t work lololol

– You can only get in with Special Invitation Tickets or Premium Invitation Tickets lolololol

– Ah lol M A J O R S C R U B is that you again?

“It’s been 5 minutes since I started streaming, you crazy bastard, what do you mean can’t even get over 100, want to get kicked out?”

Honestly, this really got under my skin.

What? I hit 500 viewers during my peak of video donations and verbal mistakes, you know?

How dare they make statements disrespecting me, Yoo Mungi?

‘Hmm.’

But there wasn’t really anything I could do about it.

I’d consider banning them, but honestly, this wasn’t serious enough for a ban.

‘Sigh… but I really want to do it.’

I missed the opportunity during the last Minecraft server.

But now I have my camera on and some recognition.

I could approach people first and build connections.

Plus, now I have a connection with EV, so I could properly insert my straw.

‘Tsk.’

Such an opportunity probably won’t come again.

I watched on one side of my monitor.

Major streamers participating and playing on the GTA Streamer Server.

Ah, I want to join in too.

While I was having such thoughts.

– Mungi, emergency lolololol

– E M E R G E N C Y lolololol

– M U N E M E R lolololol

– EV is rolling gacha tickets like crazy right now to invite you lolololol

– Legendary Mungi moment lololol

– This guy really knows how to insert his straw perfectly

– Mungi, can you insert one for me too?

“What’s that last one, you really need to leave.”

I was startled by the rush of chat from viewers.

“EV is rolling gacha to invite me right now?”

– Yeah lol someone suddenly donated 5 million won telling her to do premium gacha

– There’s a Special Invitation Ticket in there

– Can she really invite a nobody like you?

– She’s rapidly clicking right now saying she’ll do it for you lolololol

As soon as I heard this, I immediately went to EV’s broadcast.

-“Mungi! I’ll properly repay the value we walked together! Look forward to it!”

EV was actually rolling premium gacha that costs 50,000 won per pull.

API.

When you donate to a broadcaster.

It’s a system where effects are applied to the Streamer Server based on the donation amount.

10,000 won gets you a Regular Box.

50,000 won gets you a Premium Box.

By donating the exact matching amount, corresponding rewards or effects would occur.

It was a real-time cash injection system applied to streamer characters.

And the probability of getting a Special Invitation Ticket from a Premium Box is about 5%.

But EV is doing this for me?

I could roughly guess the reason.

‘Yesterday… is it because of what happened? No, but if something like that happened yesterday, how can she broadcast today already?’

Surprised in many ways.

I also watched EV’s broadcast with a somewhat nervous heart.

‘She said she just used 34 tickets… so there are still 65 50,000 won gacha tickets left?’

Then how much is that?

‘Roughly quite a lot of money.’

After finishing my Quick Mental Math, I newly realized the sponsorship power of a Major Corporation.

To be able to receive this right after starting on the Streamer Server.

-“Mungi! I’m really good at pulling these things, you know? I’m a gacha expert, you know? I’m the god of single pulls, you know? Leave it to me!”

Of course, EV didn’t mind any of that at all and continued attempting the gacha.

At the point of opening 20 in a row.

Bang!

-“Jackpot! Jackpot! Mungi! I’ll invite you! I know your contact info, right? I’ll send you the Deco server address!!!”

Along with those words, a Special Invitation Ticket actually appeared.

EV immediately called an admin and said she would invite me.

In the blink of an eye, I was invited to Deco and connecting to the GTA Streamer Server.

– Crazy

– Mungi, you never know what life brings, really

– This guy is getting everything he says

– Legend Mungi occurrence;;;;

– Mungi, this is an RP server, you know what that means, right?

Pababaak!

As soon as the Special Invitation Ticket hit, my viewer count jumped and chat started flowing rapidly.

‘The Major Corporation trickle-down effect is insane, absolutely insane.’

[Current Viewers: 400]

This is my lifetime peak viewer count, excluding controversies.

EV’s collaboration and the consistent mentions through this broadcast.

These two effects had raised my viewer count to 400.

Considering it was 16 before.

It was exactly about a 30-fold increase.

‘Quick Mental Math, successful.’

And what they’re expecting right now is.

– But does this guy even know how to do Role Playing?

– Ah, kids who can’t maintain their concept properly are gonna be fucking boring

– Just had one collab with EV and now he’s totally sucking on that straw

-So what exactly are you going to do for RP?

That was my RP.

What exactly would I show on the GTA Streamer Server?

Do you have some kind of sense for it?

Amidst such anticipation.

I confidently set my nickname.

“Hello. I’m Lee Mung-ryong, aspiring host bar worker.”

– Thank you for the 1,000 won donation from Kkumttoro.

[ Crazy bastard newbie spun gacha tickets like crazy to get an invite and immediately became a male prostitute lol ]

– Hahahahahahahahaha

– Hahahahahahahahaha

– Crazy bastard openly declaring he’s gonna leech off women

GTA Streamer Server – Yoran Garden, Lee Mung-ryong deployment.

+++++

At the same time.

Someone who secretly heard the news that Mungi had received EV’s invitation and entered that Streamer Server.

“Hahaha, ah… this is really interesting… really, seriously?”

Paused pulling premium gacha tickets for a moment and laughed out loud.

– ?

– Lera why are you suddenly laughing so loud?

– lol isn’t it because you’re just too bad at it?

– Right now I’m opening up what I got for 10 million won and only shitty stuff is coming out, which is quite a talent lol

The viewers’ chat was just a bonus.
