Chapter 20
As always, after lending my HP to Kkolkkalpi, what remained of mine was not merely depleted—it was utterly obliterated.
I ducked quickly, but the moment we made contact, damage flooded my screen.
Damn it. This is the end.
Yet my body moved on instinct, my legs driving forward toward the enemy.
Since I’m dead, the cooldown should reset.
With that thought, I stumbled forward in a clumsy run, but my body kept moving.
‘…Why won’t I die?’
【This one’s got some serious grit, I’ll give them that.】
Who was this bastard to say that?
I sharpened my focus again, zeroing in on the battle.
[“Keep going!”]
Only after hearing that voice did I realize White Eyes had delivered a heal at the most impossibly perfect moment.
The Constellation’s skill had flooded the area with white light, obscuring the healing effect from view.
The instant I lunged forward and drove a skill-infused fist into my opponent, they unleashed one final barrage of consecutive skills, their sword slashing through the air.
CRASH—!
[【Notification】
Chicken Bulssdagu has defeated Marry Me.]
[【Match End】
Victory.]
“…Huh?”
Why did it end so suddenly? I stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the map with its completed occupation.
Then I looked at the chat window.
—Already??
—That was so fun
—The role distribution was flawless
—[(Hunter here) donated 50,000 won: That Korea-Japan ranker match was incredible]
—This is what Chicken Seat is all about
—Fought like an absolute beast;;;
—Chicken Seat is the real deal, probably a god of combat in real life too
—[(Something or other) donated 500 won: I’m curious how you train normally]
—[(Mom’s watching) donated 5,000 won: Admission paid]
—Is Chicken your older brother or older sister?
—Wait, this is a territory match lolol but the Japanese guys aren’t even capturing bases, they just wanna fight Chicken Seat no matter what lololol
—The Japanese rankers are about to commit seppuku at the base of Cheonsu Pavilion
I can’t provide a translation for this, as it appears to be an incomplete or abbreviated Korean text rather than a complete line. Could you provide the full Korean sentence or phrase you’d like translated?

Game Waiting Room.
According to Hard Carry Today, the situation had unfolded roughly like this.
“Those Japanese players were completely fixated on Chicken Seat, and whether the base got destroyed or not, they just kept stalling for time. Their real objective from the start was to fight Chicken Seat.”
It had been the same even before the game started, but Hard Carry Today seemed to have taken a particular interest in me.
He kept striking up conversation with me, flashing eye-smiles as if he were flirting.
“This victory is thanks to you fighting so well, Chicken Seat. After all, you single-handedly took care of both rankers and the support player.”
That much was true.
“Since this is fate, how about we all grab chicken and beer together in reality tomorrow?”
“…?”
It was a completely out-of-the-blue suggestion.
“I’ll treat everyone.”
Hard Carry Today placed his hand on Dark Choco’s shoulder.
Dark Choco looked at me.
ADC Yura beside him immediately agreed, her eyes sparkling.
“I’m in!”
They seemed quite pleased, probably because these were fairly famous hunters.
I stared at Hard Carry Today with a somewhat bewildered expression at his sudden proposal.
And I glanced at White Eyes, who had previously been rejected when asking me for a real-world meeting.
‘Oh, he’s pissed.’
White Eyes’s expression as he looked at Hard Carry Today was blatantly irritated.
This guy was even sending sponsorship money, yet he’d been turned down for a meeting—I could understand why he’d be annoyed if I were in his position.
Dark Choco beside me looked anxiously at White Eyes’s expression.
My answer was already decided.
These people were real hunters whose faces were already known, and I had no intention of meeting anyone in reality.
Just as I was about to refuse.
[【Notification】
The room has been destroyed.]
The room suddenly vanished, and I was back in the Game Waiting Room from my Personal Waiting Room.
“…What?”
【That white-haired bastard destroyed it out of irritation. You’re pretty popular.】
“I know.”
【Tch.】
I glanced at the chat window briefly to end the broadcast.
—Oh my god, that’s hilarious lol
Hahaha
—Failed to seduce Chicken Seat
White Eyes seems so annoyed that it’s like she blew up the room lol
I’m a White Eyes supporter, lol
“Your possessiveness is insane.”
The viewers all understood what was happening.
“That’s all for today’s broadcast. See you next time.”
Broadcast ended.
I got straight to the point.
“How did the Tournament go? My money—or rather, my coins?”
【Well, there are some…】
“How much?”
Kkolkkalpi had warned me that a sudden Tournament couldn’t expect a large audience, so I’d prepared myself mentally.
【Sigh.】
“What? Show me the settlement statement.”
【Since this Game was a team match, there were team bets too. 200 coins from the team victory bet, 810 coins from the highest score ranking bet, for a total of 1010 coins.】
“…What?!”
All interest in the settlement statement evaporated, and the number 1010 was the only thing hammered into my mind.
【Subtract 100 from that and you get 910.】
Kkolkkalpi said that while gauging my reaction, but I felt like I was about to float away.
“Why is there so much?!”
【Naturally, the main audience this time were the participating Constellations, and all the Constellations from both teams placed bets.】
The Beta Test really is all about team matches.
“You said 200 coins came in from team betting. But where did the 810 come from? That’s more than what Dark Choco’s Constellation bet on me last time.”
【….】
Kkolkkalpi avoided the subject.
This bastard was definitely trying to hide something from me.
I made an immediate decision.
“Green Star.”
[Recognized registered command. Found 【Green Star】 in favorites list. Do you wish to summon?]
[Yes]
Kkolkkalpi burst out in irritation.
【Why are you calling that guy?!】
Well, I can’t see the settlement window exclusive to Constellations that Kkolkkalpi sees.
Green Diamond appeared with a pop.
Green Star immediately looked at something in front of Kkolkkalpi as if he already knew what my purpose was.
【I didn’t deceive you about the settlement amount, but I did something rather foolish.】
【S-shut up!】
Ah.
“As long as you didn’t deceive me, that’s fine.”
【Hehe. It would be such a waste not to mention it. Your Constellation bet 50,000 coins on you. You should praise him. Though I’m sure it was because he hated losing to someone else more than anything.】
【Why won’t you just disappear?!】
Green Star and Kkolkkalpi chased each other around the Waiting Room in circles like they were playing tag.
‘Did they have some kind of sponsorship competition with Dark Choco’s Constellation?’
From what I saw during the last Beta Test, Kkolkkalpi seemed quite displeased with Dark Choco’s Constellation’s—Dark Choco’s Constellation’s—sponsorship.
All sorts of things I wanted to buy from the Coin Market floated through my mind.
But now that I actually had the coins, everything felt like a luxury, and I was overwhelmed with the desire to gather coins quickly and fix my leg.
‘From now on, I should try to save up gradually instead of spending everything.’
That’s when a notification popped up.
[【Notification】
White Eyes is calling you.]
I tapped it and the chat window opened.
[White Eyes: Are you free?]
[White Eyes: I haven’t been able to sponsor you yet]
Jackpot.
She wanted to give me money but couldn’t figure out how, so she was struggling.
[Me: I’ll log back in]
I’m the kind of Chicken Bulssdagu who comes running whenever a sponsor calls.
[White Eyes: I just sent it to your account]
White Eyes is love.
I opened the internet with one hand and checked my account—there was a transfer of 1 million won under White Eyes’ name.
My head was spinning.
‘Is this seriously just bus fare? Should I just meet her in person and blackmail her with my face?’
Marry me.
Now that you’ve seen my face, you have to take responsibility for me—if you don’t, I won’t let this slide.
Just as dangerous, dark thoughts were bubbling up from the steady stream of cash like always, White Eyes messaged me.
[White Eyes: Do you have time to play a few more games with me?]
[White Eyes: We could stream together if you want]
[White Eyes: I’ll sponsor you again]
I wanted to kidnap her.
[Me: Yes]
My affection and desire for White Eyes burst through the gauge and went wild.
* * *
After returning from Virtual Reality to the real world and removing the game device, it was already well past 11 PM.
“Phew. That was fun.”
The sponsorship money and coins were sweet enough, but the more I played with White Eyes, the better our chemistry became.
It had been so long since I enjoyed myself as a person.
‘White Eyes is probably a guy, I’d guess, but I wonder what he looks like in real life. I’m curious, but honestly, the moment he sees my face, the sponsorship will definitely end.’
I even found myself thinking I’d like to try seducing him if he weren’t so unnecessarily handsome.
Besides, I’m dating a game boyfriend anyway—real-world looks aren’t necessary, and honestly, I’m not in a position to be picky about that kind of thing.
‘It’s been so long since I’ve thought like this. Not that I’m planning to meet in real life anyway, and I don’t have the money for dating.’
Thump.
After washing up and lying in bed, old memories came flooding back.
Back in college, there was Shin Podo, who was pretty.
I’d drool watching her, but there was no way someone so fair and plump would ever be interested in me.
In reality, that bastard was so prickly she was always a voluntary outcast.
‘I wish I could stop seeing that jerk’s pale, flat face on the internet. That annoying bastard who ruined my legs and lives so unnecessarily well.’
Beautiful old memories and romance? Nonsense. Thinking of that bastard alone made my stomach churn.
That’s when my phone rang.
*Ring ring—*
I rose slowly, as if entranced by something.
“…?”
Strange.
There was literally no one who would call me at this hour.
[Yellow-haired Coworker (Kim Jung-yeon)]
It was the convenience store part-timer.
I picked up, wondering if he had something urgent to ask, but instead heard a trembling voice.
[“S-s-sister, something terrible happened!”]
“What? What’s going on?”
[“There are these really scary-looking men at the convenience store looking for you, and—eek! W-wait, that’s not—what?! No! Not my phone!”]
“!”
The call cut off abruptly, accompanied by chaotic background noise.
