Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast
Chapter 183

It had been quite a while since I went to the viewer's house after the broadcast. About a month, roughly.

A lot had happened since then.

If I had to pick the most important thing...

"...Why did the subscribers increase so much?"

Suddenly, a steady stream of new subscribers came in, and I reached 980,000 subscribers.

Honestly, I was stunned.

I had just broadcasted in the usual way, and yet, my subscribers had grown this much.

Where on earth did they come from?

I thought all possible routes for new subscribers had already been exhausted.

With that thought in mind, I opened a stock app and deposited a small amount of money.

“That person recommended this stock last time…”

Last time, when I delivered the merchandise to the viewer, they had recommended a stock for me to buy, so I had been depositing small amounts every day.

About 10,000 won a day.

“If it goes up later, great. If it drops, I’ll sell it then.”

In the past, I wouldn’t have known, but now, 10,000 won a day wasn’t a big deal for me.

So, I could afford to put it in as an investment, I guess.

With the deposit completed, I changed into comfortable clothes.

“I’m starting the broadcast now. Don’t come in.”

“Okay, I’ll be lying down.”

“If you do the same thing as last time, I’ll seriously give you a punch.”

“I’m not going to do it…”

After getting hurt so many times in the horror game, I could no longer trust Lee Ye-ram.

She used to be the trustworthy younger sister who would take care of things while I broadcasted.

But now, I didn’t trust her anymore.

I gave Ye-ram a warning and entered the soundproof booth, starting the broadcast.

[The broadcast has started!]

With the notification that the broadcast had started, viewers began to join.

[hi hi]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Long time, LeoRe, ready?]

[What’s “Geunore”?]

[What’s the game today?]

[hi hi]

[Hi Dama, Hi Dama, Hi Dama, Hi Dama, Hi Dama, Hi Dama, Hi Dama]

You have been temporarily banned!

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: No spamming please]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Dugong, hi]

[Hwanhee: Hi]

It seemed that my YouTube subscribers had increased a lot, because when I started the broadcast, there were many viewers joining instantly.

I thought about it in amazement and then spoke.

“Oh, I brought a new game today.”

Today, I had a game prepared.

Normally, I would decide while watching the chat, but since I had something ready today, I mentioned it in advance.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ?]

[Dama brought a game?]

[Buying a house changed your mindset, huh?]

[Seriously, you wouldn’t have brought a game before, you’d leave it to the viewers]

[We’re proud of you, Dama]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: LeoRe, ready? Sounds fun]

There were a lot of comments about LeoRe in the chat, but today I didn’t plan to play LeoRe at all.

There was no real reason to play it anymore.

Since I had ascended to the Celestial Realm, it would take at least 30 minutes to queue for a game.

Unless a new season started, I had no intention of playing LeoRe at all.

Even if I did start, I’d probably turn off the broadcast and play a bit to get the hang of it before turning it back on.

“Today, I brought a jumping game. I heard it’s trending lately.”

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Ah, that one lol]

[Yeah, it’s trending now]

[Are you talking about the one where you jump between buildings?]

[OnlyUp, it’s fun]

[Can you do it though? I feel like you don’t have the stamina, lol]

[Isn’t it stamina-heavy?]

[How long does stamina really matter?]

Worrying about stamina?

It was absurd.

If it were the old me, maybe I wouldn’t know, but now, I work out, and I’m quite confident in my stamina.

“I’m fine with stamina, what are you all worrying about?”

[Hmm…]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: What stamina, lol]

[You used to be out of breath before, now you’re fine?]

[Come back when you have abs, lol]

[Make abs and show us]

[Ugh, creepy guys lol]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: They’re trying every trick to see your abs, lol]

[Abs are important, right...]

[This is ridiculous lol]

“Stop with the creepy comments. I’ll start now.”

To prepare for today’s game, I hadn’t watched any YouTube or guides to avoid spoilers.

Once you figure out the guide for these types of games, they become really boring.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Let’s go]

[Do you want to see something creepy? Heh heh...]

[Heh heh, agreed, lol]

[Play Yeongdo! Play Yeongdo! Play Yeongdo!]

[Can you just play Yeongdo?]

[What’s with all this Yeongdo?]

[Yeongdo’s a bit...]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: If you play Yeongdo, you’ll lose focus]

Suddenly, a flood of video donation requests appeared in the chat.

Since the game I was about to play had a long playtime, it seemed like the viewers wanted me to open video donations.

‘I think it’s going to take at least six hours.’

From the viewers’ perspective, they probably wanted to see the video donations.

But...

“I’ll open them in two hours. And no backseat gaming, I’ll handle it myself.”

I wasn’t planning to open video donations as soon as the game started.

Of course, the money would be nice, but it would be a huge distraction for the broadcast.

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Oh, what’s this?]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: You’re just gonna turn it on?]

[This is it, sssss]

[Bringing all the stuff we’ve been holding, haha]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Guys, I keep telling you]

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Don’t send anything too extreme with Yeongdo]

[Seriously, if it’s too extreme, I’ll shut it down]

[If it’s something else, fine, but no extreme Yeongdo]

It seemed like, after broadcasting for a while, the viewers were listening to me well.

If it were before, they would have said, “Who’s the streamer?” and thrown random weird comments.

But now, I could tell they had been trained. With that thought, I officially started the game.

“Alright, here’s the beginning…”

I had only heard that this game was fun, but I had never been told exactly how to play it, so I was a bit confused.

I knew I had to go somewhere, but I wasn’t sure where exactly.

But I didn’t want to ask the viewers for help right after starting the game.

I had already declared no backseat gaming.

“I’ll just try going up here.”

The name of the game was ‘OnlyUp.’

It meant you had to only go upwards.

So, I started climbing the closest billboard.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Oh, what’s this? lol]

[Looks like you got the direction right, good]

[Did you study this beforehand?]

[No spoilers, guys]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: I want to see Dugong suffer]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Guys, no backseat gaming]

[This guy’s really malicious lol]

[He’s enjoying watching the streamer suffer... that’s even worse...]

[Seriously, the worst type of guy]

I tried to avoid reading the chat, but since it was a game I was playing for the first time, I couldn’t help glancing at it.

‘...I should do well so the viewers enjoy it.’

I didn’t think anyone would enjoy seeing me struggle.

‘...Right? No one would, right?’

I had a doubtful thought as I slowly started climbing the wall.

I didn’t know this type of game well, but in these kinds of games, not making mistakes was the most important thing.

Screech-

Screech-

I could hear the billboard creaking as I slowly climbed the building.

As I kept climbing, a thought crossed my mind.

“...This is easy.”

The game was very simple.

It sounds like a flag, but really, it was easy.

Just jump properly, and that’s it.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Oh! lol]

[That comment... wow]

[This is really over, once you say that, you’re never going back lol]

[Goodbye, Dama]

[This is it, 10 hours now haha]

[If it’s 10 hours, doesn’t that mean you’ll watch Yeongdo for 8 hours? That’s sweet]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: Alright, guys, prepare snacks]

[Twispookjjikmareupne: After that comment, at least 10 hours lol]

“No, what? I’m doing fine right now.”

I was heading the right way, but hearing those comments was very annoying.

I wasn’t even saying anything weird.

Just then, while climbing the billboard...

Screech-

Screech-

“Huh?”

I heard the sound of the billboard shaking, and then—

Bang-!!!

The billboard I had been climbing suddenly fell to the ground.
