To think she didn’t recognize me.
I was a little surprised.
‘I thought I had made quite an impression, though.’
“Don’t you remember me?”
I was someone who won a million won in a tournament I hosted myself, yet she didn’t even remember me. I spoke up, feeling a bit incredulous.
“I’m the one who won the Goddess Tournament recently.”
As soon as I said that-
“My nickname isn’t exactly the most eye-catching, though.”
We exchanged awkward greetings.
“I was introduced by Harin.”
I could’ve joined through Ming’s introduction, but that might’ve attracted attention from Ming’s fanbase, and it could’ve been a bit of a hassle. Even though the chances were small, it was always better to be cautious.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: It’s a relief that you got introduced by Harin.]
[If it was ‘that person’ introducing you, seriously...]
[망밍: Why am I ‘that person’?]
[You know why...]
[강후민입니다: Let’s just play the game already.]
[Want to see Minecraft soon.]
We briefly chatted and then parted ways.
There wasn’t much to talk about anyway.
‘If we were friends, we could chat more.’
But we weren’t close, so there was no reason to force a conversation.
There wasn’t enough time to socialize with the people I actually knew.
“Hmm, by the way, Pine seems to be walking around a lot.”
Currently, I was in the center of the plaza, and Pine kept walking around the area. It wasn’t just aimless wandering; it looked like she was engaging with others as she walked.
‘Is this how you become a big player?’
To be honest, I didn’t think I could be as dedicated as that. Sure, my viewers and sponsorships had increased lately, but I didn’t want to be this involved. The main reason was ‘laziness.’
I had a lot of things to do already, so did I really need to focus on something like that?
Lost in those thoughts, I started walking around with Harin.
“Oh... there are so many different jobs.”
I thought it was just a place for streamers to socialize, but it was more organized than I expected.
It felt pretty serious. I understood why streamers could spend 12 hours a day here.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Go miner, go miner!]
[In this server, being a miner is the best.]
[If you want to get rich, being a miner is the way to go.]
[Mining is too mainstream, let’s do something hip instead.]
[What’s ‘hip’? Haha.]
[강후민입니다: Let’s pick something fun.]
[You’re the type to randomly pick in Leore, so are you really going to pick something good here?]
Hmm.
I didn’t expect to choose a job like this, but since I wasn’t too fond of RPG-style formats, I thought about it for a while.
Should I follow the masses and go with mining, the "golden job," or should I forge my own path?
After thinking for a moment,
“I’ll go with fishing. I don’t want to be stuck underground mining all day.”
Even in a game, I felt like I should see the sunlight. There was no need to be buried underground, just mining minerals.
“Thanks, then.”
Harin briefly explained about fishing. It wasn’t just about catching fish; you also had to cook them and sell them to make money. It was more of a job than I thought.
‘Already sounds annoying.’
I honestly wanted to just close Minecraft right then, but since Harin recommended it, I figured I should at least stay for a few hours before quitting.
Read lat𝙚st chapters at fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓ Only.
I wasn’t going to come back just once.
Thinking that, I parted ways with Harin.
“Hmm... Should I try fishing now?”
Harin went off to mine, and Ming was farming.
Since I didn’t really know anyone else, I decided to head to the fishing spot.
Swish.
Just as I was about to cast my line and start fishing, I heard some murmuring around me.
I looked up to check the source of the noise, and-
“Oh, what’s this?”
A group of people was coming toward me.
It seemed like they were all familiar with each other, judging by the way they were all together.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Woah]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Damashii is shaking right now haha]
[Yeah, I’d be shaking too.]
[I’d be shaking like crazy if it were me]
[Are they coming to the light? Are they coming to the light? Are they coming to the light?]
[What light? They’re not going to let us out in the open haha.]
[강후민입니다: Oh shit, what do we do if a bunch of people are coming? This is so nerve-wracking..]
I wasn’t too fond of large crowds, so I quickly reeled in my fishing line and moved a bit to the side.
It was a tactical move, so to speak.
I kept just enough distance so they could notice me, but it was far enough that they’d feel hesitant to approach.
Perfect.
I thought the distance was just right, but then-
“Eh?”
I never expected someone to call out to me like that.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Wait, why is that person here?]
[Why is that guy here..?]
[강후민입니다: Damashii, stay away from him!]
[What’s Sarok doing here?]
[What’s Sarok doing here..?]
[Isn’t he the guy who invests in everything?]
[He used to destroy Bitcoin and now he’s into games?]
[This guy lives his life doing whatever he wants haha.]
It was Sarok.
“Hey, Sarok! Hi. But why are you here?”
I decided to ask directly. I was curious about why Sarok was here.
The response I got was exactly what I expected.
I had hoped for something more interesting, but this was the answer.
“I’m a staunch individualist.”
“Hmmm...”
Honestly, Sarok had a point.
The purpose of a server like this was to meet new people and socialize, so what fun would it be to just fish alone?
“Well, in that case, just introduce me to one person. I don’t want to be overwhelmed with too many at once.”
Sarok answered briefly and then walked back to where he was before.
He glanced around and brought someone over.
And then, a moment later-
“...Huh?”
I thought I had misheard.
The name was Hoomin?
It wasn’t a common name, and hearing it in a Minecraft server with streamers, the name could only belong to one person.
I could only think of one Hoomin.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Wait, is this really the Hoomin I know???]
[The Hoomin haha]
[강후민은 신이야, 강후민은 신이야]
[강후민입니다: What’s Hoomin doing here?]
[Why isn’t he writing his Capitalism book?]
[환희: Legendary haha]
We’d never really talked, but I knew of Hoomin from before.
There had been some uncomfortable situations between us before.
I froze for a moment, but then-
Hoomin said with a suspicious tone, and then a moment later,
It seemed like Hoomin remembered something from before.
I started to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat.
Both sides had made mistakes in the past, so it felt awkward bringing it up.
We had avoided mentioning it, but now here we were, meeting again in this server.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: This is intense.]
[This is heating up.]
[Is this real?]
[강후민입니다: Please just make up.]
[This is so intense haha.]
Neither of us could bring ourselves to speak.
Sarok innocently asked.
