Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast
Chapter 163

[EDITED]

‘This is someone I’ve never seen before.’

A newcomer, perhaps?

As YouTube has grown, it’s become common for new viewers to join.

But for someone to join right after turning on the stream with a nickname like that...

Something feels off.

‘Who’s using a secondary account?’

Most broadcasters don’t enter other streams with their main accounts.

If it becomes known that they’re watching someone else’s stream, it could cause some awkward situations.

Because of that, many broadcasters use secondary accounts.

‘I shouldn’t bring it up.’

If they’re a broadcaster, there’s really no need to mention it.

It’s possible to end up drawing attention from viewers and get your chat history scrutinized for no reason.

Thinking this, I checked the chat again.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: How about LeoRe today?]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: It’s been a while since you’ve played LeoRe.]

[LeoRe: Didn’t we play it last time?]

[TwiSpook: What’s ‘GeunORe’?]

[TwiSpook: Let’s stop with GeunORe, okay?]

[LeoRe: Let’s play LeoRe, let’s play LeoRe, let’s play LeoRe, let’s play LeoRe, let’s play LeoRe, let’s play LeoRe.]

Temporary Exit!

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: No spam.]

The way they type in chat felt oddly familiar.

It seemed like someone who watched my broadcasts regularly.

‘...Mangming?’

If it wasn’t Mangming, then it must be someone who frequently watches my stream.

Who could it be, I wondered, as I started up the game.

The game I was going to play this time was—

“Let’s play LeoRe. If we play about three games, won’t we get a YouTube video out of it?”

I really like LeoRe, but these days I didn’t feel that motivated to play it.

Maybe I’d lost a bit of interest after playing other games.

Though that doesn’t mean I think playing LeoRe is boring.

It’s still fun.

But—

‘I’d rather play another game than LeoRe.’

Even though YouTube grew thanks to LeoRe, I didn’t want to play it too much.

I could always play LeoRe whenever I wanted.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Three games sound good, haha.]

[Three games are perfect.]

[Maybe we can get a YouTube video out of this?]

[Dam, you’ve really lost your beginner’s spirit... Back then, you’d grind solo queue all day.]

[People change.]

[If they don’t change, are they even human?]

[TwiSpook: Do you really have to upload it to YouTube?]

[TwiSpook: That sounds like a bias.]

[Bias, agreed, haha.]

[If you don’t upload, Dam can’t even eat. Get your act together.]

I decided to play three games and then call it quits, and launched LeoRe.

It felt like it had been a while since I last played.

‘I definitely played it last time.’

I thought to myself, “Let’s do this properly,” as I launched LeoRe.

It felt like I hadn’t played it in a while.

While thinking about that, I queued up right away.

I didn’t want to get targeted.

If there was targeting, my reactions would become too unnatural.

“Alright, let’s get started. Hope we get an exciting match.”

The reason I play games is to get those exciting matches that come out one or two times in ten games.

Raising my tier is nice too, but since I’ve already reached Challenger, I’ve lost all desire to climb further.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: It’s only fun when it’s exciting, haha.]

[TwiSpook: So you’re actually grinding solo queue, tsk tsk.]

[TwiSpook: If you’re going to do that, just stream LeoRe exclusively.]

Temporary Exit!

[That guy was really annoying, haha.]

[Yeah, he was really irritating.]

[Well played, mm.]

[Hwanhee: But you need to avoid being targeted.]

While checking the chat messages from the viewers, I took a short break.

Ding-!

The game had matched.

It was faster than usual.

“Wow, that was quick, nice.”

Anyone who plays LeoRe knows that waiting for a match is the hardest part.

It’s easy to get distracted and do other things.

Thinking that, I immediately selected my champion.

“For the first game, I’ll just go with this one, something safe.”

For the first match, I chose Yone.

There were other safer champions, but honestly, they didn’t bring any fun for me.

They were champions I picked only for the sake of winning.

‘...It’s important to balance both fun and practicality.’

If I only focus on one, the balance will break.

Thinking this, I locked in my choice—

[Is this really the pick?]

[First pick Yone?]

[The opponent’s top hasn’t even been revealed yet.]

[All the good picks are still available, haha.]

Feedback came from the in-game chat.

Why pick Yone, a risky champion, when there are safer picks?

My response was simple.

[Yone’s good.]

[Trust me.]

“If you don’t trust me, then what are you going to do?”

Anyway, my teammates had no choice but to trust me.

If they didn’t like it, they could dodge, but... most of the people who make those comments never actually dodge.

‘They’re just people who want to start trouble.’

If you’re going to say something like that, say it before the pick, not after.

After picking, saying something like that is just stirring up trouble.

[TwiSpook: LOL.]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: If you don’t trust me, what are you going to do?]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: You have to trust me, haha.]

[I’m sending infinite friend requests to that guy with the ID, haha.]

Temporary Exit!

[Sending friend requests is so irritating, haha.]

[Getting a dupe account isn’t easy, huh...]

[Hwanhee: But that’s really toxic.]

[Hwanhee: You shouldn’t say something like that after the pick.]

After typing that—

[Hah.]

[This is so annoying, haha.]

[Let’s see in the game.]

The person who was venting like that typed that in chat and then stopped chatting entirely.

“Well, at least they admitted it.”

There are so many people who won’t even acknowledge when they’re wrong.

So, someone like that is actually pretty good in comparison.

The world really has a lot of trashy people.

While thinking that, I checked the team composition.

At that moment—

Ding-!

[Legal gave 10,000 KRW as a donation!]

• Dam, if you win, I’ll stake 100 more. Do your best.

A viewer I had never seen before made a bombshell declaration and left the stream.

Then, shortly after, a small mission appeared in the upper left of the screen.

[Victory reward: 1,000,000 KRW]

• Legal

“…Wait, is this for real?”

Earlier, the chat had been full of disbelief, so I thought it was just trolling, but this was shocking.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ????]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Was that for real??]

[TwiSpook: I’m really broke though.]

[TwiSpook: Please send me a Hambugi set, rich person.]

[Begging is so annoying, haha.]

[Don’t beg the CEO, haha.]

[CEO (never seen in my life).]

[This is so funny, haha.]

“…I really have to focus now, huh?”

Normally, when I play solo queue, I don’t focus on every little detail, but—

‘This is a different situation.’

A million won is on the line.

It’s better to be meticulous about everything.

So, I started reviewing my teammates’ skill coefficients and cooldowns as quickly as possible.

I may be embarrassed to say it, but I was pretty good at memorizing things.

‘If I couldn’t memorize things, I wouldn’t have gone to college.’

Thinking that, I made sure to adjust my runes carefully—

“It’s starting.”

The game began.

And, of course, the game wasn’t dodged.

“Phew... this is nerve-wracking.”

Normally, I don’t get that nervous when playing, but with such a big reward on the line, I couldn’t help but feel tense.

It’s not like I make money like this every day.

[TwiSpook: I really just want a Hambugi.]

Temporary Exit!

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I really want to hit him, haha.]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Stop spamming that chat.]

[Who is that guy? How does he attract so much attention?]

[Ignore him. People like that are at the bottom of life. It’s better not to give them any attention.]

[Hwanhee: That person’s really toxic.]

By the way, I absentmindedly checked the chat again, and I was really curious—

Who was this person who came to the stream and immediately started getting that much hate?

It’s not easy to get that much hate all at once, even if you’re trolling.

I thought it was impressive as I moved toward my lane.

“I want that million won.”

I double-checked my keyboard and mouse and got ready to start laning.

The opponent’s top lane was Darius.

It seemed like it would be fun.

As I was about to start laning—

Ding-!

Someone knocked on the door.
