I had been playing a lot of games recently, but mostly Leore.
In other words, I hadn’t had much time for new games.
Whenever I wasn’t playing Leore, I would play other games, but with all my focus on Leore, I had a backlog of games to get through.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: A lot of new games have come out lately.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Some of them are worth playing.]
[Let's go!]
[Do we really need to play other games? Let’s just keep playing Leore.]
[Ah, League is getting boring. If we only keep playing Leore, it’ll get dull.]
[강후민입니다: If we switch to other games once in a while, Damashii will enjoy Leore even more when he comes back to it.]
[Always crushing it with the logic, Kang Hoomin, haha.]
“Well... let’s look for some other games.”
There were so many games out now, I needed some time to browse.
It was important to find a game that suited me.
With that in mind, I entered a game-selling site and briefly skimmed the list.
I saw many games, but nothing really caught my eye.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Hmm...]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Nothing interesting here.]
[Let’s just play Leore again! Let’s go, Leore!]
[Forced exit!]
[Ugh, Leore again...]
[망밍: There aren’t many interesting new games lately, though there are a lot of releases.]
[Why haven’t we had a game that we can really get stuck into for a week straight?]
[You think that kind of game is just going to keep coming out, haha?]
As I was continuing to look for games, something caught my attention.
“Hmm?”
A game called Student Simulator appeared.
“What’s this?”
Based on the title alone, I had a rough idea of what it might be.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: What the hell is Student Simulator?]
[Now they’re making student simulators...]
[Going back to high school to... oh, hehehe...]
[That’s pretty creepy.]
[Really creepy.]
[강후민입니다: But honestly, haven’t we all thought about something like this at least once?]
[환희:?]
[This is seriously strong humor, haha.]
There weren’t many reviews yet, and those that existed didn’t really describe the game—just phrases like “This game is really fun!” and nothing else.
“Hmm...”
The price was 8,900 won.
It felt a bit much to spend on a simulator, but I was already here.
After thinking for a moment—
[Payment completed!]
I completed the purchase.
It wasn’t like I had any other games to play.
If any other game had seemed interesting, I might have gone for that, but this was the only one that looked decent.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: You really bought this, haha.]
[망밍: You’re throwing your money away...]
[It’s not decided yet whether it’ll be fun or not. It’s foolish to judge it before even playing.]
[You can’t really tell if it’s bad until you try it.]
[Well, I guess, haha.]
[Ugh... it’s just... so vulgar.]
[Why’s this so vulgar?]
“Well, I bought it, so if it’s not fun, I can refund it later.”
There was no point in lowering expectations by over-judging it right away.
With that thought, I started the game.
Ding-!
As the bell I used to hear in my childhood played, the game started.
And in front of me appeared a shoddy game screen.
At that moment, I knew exactly what I had gotten into.
“Exit.”
I immediately closed the game as soon as I saw the screen.
“Wow, I expected something like this, but I didn’t think it would be this bad.”
I didn’t have high expectations for simulator games to begin with, but I never imagined it would be this poorly made.
Of course, I was the weird one for buying it in the first place, especially with a blatant “I’m crap” label on it, but the seller should take more blame.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Why did you buy that, haha.]
[Well, at least you refunded it. Cheers!]
[It’s ridiculous to buy something like that and then say it’s bad.]
[These guys are such kids.]
[What’s with the obsession with poop?]
[Seriously, this is disgusting.]
[Ugh, this is low-class.]
“Well, since I bought it, I can always refund it later if it’s bad.”
No reason to drag my expectations down by getting negative right away.
With that, I began searching for another game.
After browsing for a while, I sighed.
“Ah, there’s really nothing to play.”
There were no good games out.
The decent games had all come out last year.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Then let’s just play Leore again.]
[Let’s go Leore!]
[How is there seriously no game to play?]
[Well, there are old games from before that we can play, but why are we going back to Leore?]
[강후민입니다: Damashii, you’ve already finished all the old games. Why would you go back to them? Haha.]
[망밍: So you really have no other games to play, huh?]
There was only one game I didn’t play.
“Anything but FPS games. I can’t stand how dizzy they make me.”
RPGs, AOS games, all those were fine, but FPS games just made me dizzy.
I didn’t know if I had the talent for them, but even if I did, I had no interest.
As I was sitting there thinking, I heard a ding.
It was a text.
There wasn’t really anyone who would text me at this time.
‘Who could it be?’
I checked my phone, curious, and saw a familiar name—Lee Ye-ram.
She should be in class right now, so how was she texting me?
[이예람: Oppa, after school,]

[이예람: Let’s go get some food.]
[이예람: I’m hungry.]
[나: How are you texting?]
[이예람: They don’t collect phones these days.]
[이예람: You’re showing your age, haha.]
“Wait, they don’t collect phones at school anymore? My younger sibling said they don’t do it anymore either.”
I couldn’t believe it.
Back when I was in school, they checked our bags, took our phones, and if we were caught hiding them, we got punished.
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Surprisingly, that’s true, haha.]
[Really?]
[How is it possible to not collect phones? Seriously, when I was in school, I couldn’t even get a decent haircut without getting in trouble. What’s next? Give me back my lost hair.]
[강후민입니다: Everyone who went to elementary school would agree, but there used to be patrols walking around school during certain times.]
[People who went to elementary school will totally agree, haha.]
[This is crazy, haha.]
“Wow, things really have changed.”
I’m not that old, but every day, it feels like everything around me is changing.
I wonder how much it will change in the future.
With that thought, I sent a reply to Lee Ye-ram.
[나: Hmm.]
[나: What do you want to eat?]
It was rare for her to ask me for something like this, so I usually agreed.
‘Maybe it’s because the college entrance exam is approaching.’
Anyway, it didn’t matter.
As long as she does well on the exam, that’s all that matters.
With that thought, I checked her reply.
[이예람: Hmm...]
[이예람: Can we have Galbi-jjim again?]
[이예람: I did really well on a mock test today.]
Galbi-jjim again.
It seemed like Ye-ram knew that the dish was expensive, so she was being careful with her request.
After a moment of thought—
[나: Yeah, sure.]
[나: I’ll pick you up after it’s over.]
[나: Get ready.]
I replied.
She was a student preparing for the entrance exam, so there was no point in refusing her.
The goal was to make her feel supported while also helping her focus on her exam.
‘Later, I’ll make sure to enjoy it all myself.’
With those thoughts, I spoke again.
“Well, since I don’t have anything to do right now... let’s raise my tier before I end the stream.”
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Ahh, here we go, Damashii is finally playing Leore.]
[Let’s go, Leore!]
[You’re totally going to play with that tier.]
[Seriously, it’s illogical not to play Leore with that tier.]
[강후민입니다: Damashii, when did you raise your tier so much?]
[강후민입니다: I didn’t notice the score change while watching you play.]
“Back then, playing games was fun when the stream was on, but now it’s more fun when I play solo. Later, I’m sure I’ll enjoy streaming again.”
That’s just how it goes.
Even though viewers might comment whatever they want, it doesn’t bother me.
“By the way, my score is...”
I checked my score again. It was Diamond 1, 94LP.
It had dropped significantly.
