Hobbyist VTuber

Chapter 137




Games during the year-end season usually hold various special events.

The famous FPS game, Battle Island, was also hosting its own unique year-end event.

That’s why Christmas decorations were scattered all over the map of Battle Island.

Even the usual grassy plains had transformed into snowy fields to match the festive atmosphere.

But above all else.

-Squeak.

-Vroom!!

“Everyone, move aside!!”

The sight of various vehicles in Battle Island turning into Santa’s sleighs was the most eye-catching.

After all, Battle Island is a battle royale where only the last person standing survives.

In other words, it became possible to roadkill other players with Santa’s sleigh.

Thus, a very eerie scene was born.

-Bang!!

[<LUX>Diah>>>🚗It’s okay to cry, Santa isn’t here]

A player who was just walking along the road got hit by Rudolph’s front hoof and flew far away.

Yet, Dia’s voice remained completely unfazed.

“I told you to move aside!”

– Hahaha

– Santa is hitting people!!!

– Instead of giving gifts, he’s ramming with his sleigh

– How are we supposed to dodge when he’s charging like that??

– Destroying childhood innocence, insane

To make matters worse, Dia’s avatar was also dressed as Santa Claus, amplifying the eeriness.

Soon after, Santa Claus got off the sleigh and happily looted the items of the recently deceased player.

It was right after that they spotted the ‘supply plane’ flying from the high sky towards the center of the map.

The supply plane, which offers better items than usual, had also transformed into a giant sleigh to match the year-end vibe.

“Real Santa has arrived!!”

– Santa giving a sniper rifle as a gift, insane

– The supply crate has turned into a gift box lol

– Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

And so, Dia got back on the sleigh.

To put the title of Dia’s current stream, <The First Supply of the New Year is Mine>, into action, they urged Rudolph on and on.

Not long after, they finally arrived in front of the gift box (supply crate).

However, Dia wasn’t the only one aiming to loot the good items from the gift box.

-Vroom!!

-Ratatatatat!!

Just as Dia was about to put the items from the gift box into their inventory, players rushed in from all directions.

Most of these players were Dia’s haters, the Noeuli.

As expected, the other players ignored everyone else and focused solely on attacking Dia.

Ironically, most of these attacks were attempts at roadkilling Dia with Santa’s sleigh, just like Dia had done a few minutes ago.

“Ah! How many Rudolphs are there?!”

And so, Dia ran around, dodging Santa’s sleighs coming from all directions.

In the end, Dia had to flee on the sleigh without even managing to collect all the items from the gift box.

Still, they were satisfied since they achieved the goal of <The First Supply of the New Year is Mine>.

Though they were startled once again by the toxic moments of the Noeuli chasing after Dia’s sleigh.

“Even if you chase me, I won’t give you gifts! Go away!!”

– Get lost

– The game genre suddenly turned into racing

– Rudolph, my legs hurt ㅠㅠㅠ

– Oh no, Rudolph is getting shot

The Noeuli’s pursuit continued even after that.

Eventually, Dia had to get off the sleigh and engage in a gunfight with the Noeuli who had chased them.

Of course, most of the Noeuli were still no match for Dia.

Every time Dia fired the high-damage sniper rifle they had obtained from the gift box, Noeuli kept dying.

The problem was that there were Noeuli targeting something other than Dia’s avatar.

-Bang!!

-Ratatat!!

-…Boom!!

“Uh…? My, my sleigh!!”

One Noeuli poured dozens of bullets into Dia’s sleigh, eventually reducing its durability to zero.

Dia’s sleigh was completely destroyed.

Even though Dia had taken out numerous toxic Noeuli, they couldn’t win.

After all, without a means of transportation like the sleigh, it was nearly impossible to avoid the poison gas closing in from all directions.

And so, Dia’s avatar eventually succumbed to the poison gas and died.

-Ding.

[Match Area>>>☢<LUX>Diah]

“Ugh… The poison gas is too fast…”

– Dia’s out lolololol

– GG

– Even after getting the supply, they couldn’t win, what a shame

– (Skull emoji x4)

– If you get greedy for supplies, you gotta pay the price

And so, Dia’s avatar, poisoned and collapsed on the ground, was stared at blankly.

As the drowsiness slowly set in, Dia prepared to end the stream.

Of course, the Noeuli’s opinion was ‘Keep streaming’.

But Dia ended Battle Island and started the closing remarks, as it was an unplanned stream to begin with.

It was quite a packed surprise stream, not just counting down to the new year but also hosting a New Year’s Battle Island stream.

“Alright, everyone, have a blessed new year. I’ll be going now~. Bye-bye~.”

And with that, beep.

With the usual closing remarks, Dia’s stream screen switched to the standby screen.

Half-closed eyes, Dia stepped out of the soundproof booth right after.

Soon after, they lay down on the white mattress and fell asleep.

But unlike Ha-eun, who was in a deep sleep, the fantasy community was buzzing.

– Dia) Double kill with the sleigh

– Isn’t this a horror show lololol

– Rudolph’s gaze is insane

There were several reasons why the late-night community was filled with talk about Dia.

– Dia <<< Confirmed single

– From now on, this place is ruled by the Noeuli

ㄴ Cream Bread Squad) This is a dictatorship

ㄴ Didn’t your owners all go to rest?

ㄴ Dictatorship X Empty house raid O

The most decisive factor was that Dia was the only member of the fantasy group to host a New Year’s stream.

Finally, the first day of the new year arrived.

Also known as a red day, on January 1st, Ha-eun headed to the Luna Entertainment building with her manager, Joo Jung-yoon.

The person they were meeting was CEO Jung Do-chul.

To be precise, it was more like Jung Do-chul had summoned Ha-eun after hearing about her casting in <The Veterans>.

-Knock knock.

“Ah, come in.”

Soon, they faced the familiar face of Jung Do-chul.

The conversation that followed started with the usual New Year’s greetings.

However, after Jung Do-chul’s simple New Year’s greetings, a more serious conversation had to take place.

It was necessary to explain to Ha-eun, an actress, what it meant to play a villain like Lee Ye-seo.

“Everyone in the world knows you’re a great actress. But, the better you play a villain, the more hate you’ll get.”

I’m a bit worried about this actress’s mental state.

Jung Do-chul, concerned about Ha-eun who hadn’t even become an adult yet, looked at her intently.

Yet, there was no sign of hesitation.

Even after Jung Do-chul suggested she think about it more, Ha-eun’s mind didn’t change.

“I want to do Lee Ye-seo. No matter what. Definitely.”

“…I didn’t know this actress had a taste for psychopaths.”

“It’s, it’s not a taste. But as an actress, you should be able to do such roles.”

I want to try it.

In the end, it was Jung Do-chul who raised the white flag at Ha-eun’s sincere words.

After all, the most important thing was Ha-eun’s own will.

Though playing a villain like Lee Ye-seo was indeed a different level of difficulty.

Given Ha-eun’s impeccable acting skills, it didn’t seem like she couldn’t handle a villain role.

But since playing a villain too well could have side effects, Jung Do-chul had called her to his office to talk.

Now that he knew Ha-eun’s determination was firm, there was no more reason to dissuade her.

‘…I wonder what will happen this time.’

In <The Veterans>, there are many protagonists as detectives, but the villain Lee Ye-seo is played by Ha-eun alone.

Thus, Jung Do-chul guessed that more effort would be put into Ha-eun’s performance.

The perfection of the villain is also the perfection of the work.

In other words, the more Ha-eun’s outstanding acting skills are showcased, the more the overall perfection of the work will rise.

Therefore, Jung Do-chul was curious about how much artistic value <The Veterans> would have.

“Kim Hong-sung, the director, right?”

“Yes.”

“He’s a talented guy, so feel free to suggest anything. He’ll listen to you.”

And so, after Ha-eun’s appearance in <The Veterans> was confirmed, she could leave the office.

But less than a week later, she had to head back to the Luna Entertainment building.

“Is all this… for me?”

“Yes.”

“…It won’t all fit in the trunk.”

“Yeah.”

Today was Ha-eun’s birthday.

The gifts sent by Ha-eun’s fans were already piled up like a mountain at the Luna Entertainment building.

The Instagram live stream that would start in a few minutes was also to celebrate Ha-eun’s birthday.

It was planned to thank the fans who sent countless gift boxes and have a simple birthday party.

However, the number of people who joined Ha-eun’s birthday stream was beyond imagination.

“42,000. No, 44,000, Ha-eun.”

‘…Are these viewbots?’

Ha-eun was puzzled by Joo Jung-yoon’s voice, which was updating the real-time viewer count.

It was even more bewildering that not only Koreans were in Ha-eun’s Instagram live stream.
