DEMONS: Invitation to the Demons Competition – Hello. I hope your streaming life is always peaceful. We would like to invite Pazzk influencer Moon Si-hyun to the Demons Competition. For more details…

—

There was really a plausible invitation in the mailbox.

Moon Si-hyun glanced at it for a moment and then manipulated the screen with her finger.

[Move to Trash]

—

What the hell are you doing?

????

?

—

The viewers were startled and reacted.

“……?”

That was a completely unexpected response from her.

“Don’t just look at stuff like this. Your personal information could be wiped out in an instant.”

—

What the…

That has to be legit

No, but I have to check it

Open it, come on

It’s real for sure

No, it’s definitely real

—

“……”

But surprisingly, the opinions in the chat started to unify.

However, whether they were trying to deceive Moon Si-hyun or were serious, she couldn’t tell.

“It’s not like I get infected just by opening an email… I’ll check it out first.”

Reluctantly, she restored it from the trash and then opened it.

DEMONS: Invitation to the Demons Competition

We would like to invite Pazzk influencer Moon Si-hyun to our Demons Competition.

It’s real, isn’t it, damn it

Ugh

Damn it

Demons Staff: Phew… Thank you…

Hahahahahahah

Phew

Phew

Hahaha

Fools, haha

(Ugh) Phew…

Phew hahaha

The Demons Competition, held periodically, is directly operated by the streaming site Pazzk in South Korea.

Thus, for viewers who have been watching Pazzk for a long time, it was a familiar website link.

The Demons Competition is something anyone who has watched Pazzk for even a bit would know.

But.

“Hmph.”

—

?

Why the laugh

Hmph?

Hmph

Hmph

Oh no way

—

Moon Si-hyun moved her finger, highlighting the link.

“Look. Clicking on links like this can wipe out all your information.”

While talking, she found and opened an article.

That article had an attached email phishing mail.

“Very similar, right? These kinds of things pop up all the time in news or reports as cases of voice phishing and email phishing. Even if there’s a real competition similar to this, scammers are cunning. They impersonate all kinds of things. So you should actually be even more careful with emails that look plausible like this.”

—

What the hell ㅋㅋ

Wow, it’s really just like what my parents told me ㅋㅋ

Don’t you think we should verify her identity?

What a dumbass

Doesn’t she not know about Demons???

—

For those who have been watching Pazzk for a long time, her reaction was incomprehensible. The Demons Competition was a renowned event in the Pazzk community.

The only variable was that Moon Si-hyun had only been familiar with Pazzk for a few months.

Of course, that was not a consideration for the viewers.

—

Just go in already, damn it

Can you just read it, Si-hyun? ^^

Hah ㅋㅋ

—

A flood of kind words poured in.

“No-”

Still, despite the countless criticisms from the viewers, Moon Si-hyun remained skeptical.

Her exclusive and cautious nature. Once again, it was her viewers who were withering away…

—

Squirrel: Unnie, I also received the same one! You can read it!! I accepted it too!!

—

Then, unable to hold back anymore, a message from Squirrel appeared in the chat.

“…… Really?”

—

Harris: No, Squirrel

Harris: You shouldn’t say that, it’s against the contract

Harris: Ah

?

??

Squirrel: Ah

Squirrel: Oh my……………

Squirrel is in on this too

What does that mean, Squirrel?

Demons Staff: Ah……

What? Did Harris get it too? ㄷㄷ

???

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Ah

Oh…

Hahahahahaha what a reaction, damn it

Idiot kids…

—

However, this time, it became chaotic in another way.

“I’m sorry for being suspicious. Well… I’ll think about it. I’ll check the link after the broadcast. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

Moon Si-hyun calmed the chat and then spoke. As she did, the situation seemed to settle.

Moon Si-hyun briefly scanned through other emails that had come in.

While she had neglected her emails, several had come in.

—

I really haven’t read any of them

There’s even a promotional email ㄷㄷ

—

Among them, one subject caught Moon Si-hyun’s eye particularly.

—

bigmen: Si-hyun, please check this out

—

“…… Check this out?”

Moon Si-hyun read it aloud.

It obviously looked like an abbreviation.

“Check this… check this…? Hmm. I think I might know.”

Moon Si-hyun kept repeating that word and thought hard.

She thought, ‘They say a dog can become a scholar in three years.’ She believed she was becoming more internet savvy.

Although a bit confused, this abbreviation seemed to stimulate her competitive spirit strongly.

‘Normally, I wouldn’t have any idea what “moon” meant, but…’

“From what I know, the ‘평’ that comes after a word means ‘average’…”

Moon Si-hyun pondered with her chin held for a moment.

“Ah.”

Letting out a sound as if she realized something.

“Average kid? So maybe it’s a cute picture of a child?”

Feeling proud to report her answer, she said.

“Let me check it.”

She hovered her finger over the attached file, and as she shifted her gaze to the chat window to see if she was correct…

—

No no no no no no no no no no no

No no no no no no no no no no no

Don’t do it, damn it

Squirrel: Unnie, don’t open it!

Squirrel: No!

Squirrel: Please, just don’t open it

Shut it

Don’t open it

If you don’t want the broadcast to get wrecked, just don’t open it, damn it

Harris: No!

Harris: Si-hyun, don’t do it!

Demons Staff: You mustn’t, Si-hyun! Don’t open that!

—

Everyone joined forces, desperately trying to stop her from opening that email.

“…… Why? Just opening the email should be harmless, right?”

For Moon Si-hyun, with a clear mind, it was a somewhat confusing situation.

—

If they say not to open it, then just don’t

Just don’t open it, damn it

Just listen to us, you dumbass

Squirrel: Unnie, please just don’t open it!

Harris: Si-hyun ㅠㅠㅠ Please, you can’t open it!

—

Thanks to the passionate opposition of the viewers, along with Harris and Squirrel’s protests, Moon Si-hyun was faced with the sight of a muscular man in a bear suit, with a hook-like protrusion, looking extremely angry.

– Moon Si-hyun’s interpretation of the term “check out”… clip

—

(Clip)

Check out: Average kid

—

– Damn…

– Why does it get me hard when a girl is dumb?

– Wow, her brain is really clean ㄹㅇ

– I want to make a little one down there…

– Honestly, I was really curious about the reaction, but it’s disappointing

ㄴ ㄹㅇ;

ㄴ I was wondering what kind of reaction she would show if I showed her this

ㄴ These kinds of people are potential sex offenders

ㄴ Sorry, bro

– But how does Harris and Squirrel know? ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ Girls usually know terms like “check out” well

ㄴ For real, there are a lot of crazy people

ㄴ They must have checked all their emails and suffered a lot

—

– Today’s confirmed facts from Moon Si-hyun’s broadcast… jpg

—

(Clip of Moon Si-hyun throwing away the Demons invitation as spam and stubbornly insisting it was a scam)

Moon Si-hyun is just a total idiot

—

Squirrel: Unnie, I also received the same one! You can read it!! I accepted it too!!

Squirrel: Ah

Squirrel: Oh my……………

—

Squirrel, who confirmed her participation in the Demons Competition voluntarily

—

Harris: No, Squirrel

Harris: You shouldn’t say that, it’s against the contract

Harris: Ah

—

For some reason, yet completely unknown, Harris was well-informed about the contract details of the Demons Competition.

Just a legend…

—

– It’s the trio of idiots ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ One’s a bit extreme

ㄴ Harris and Squirrel aren’t total idiots ㅋㅋ

– It’s a perfect sequence of IQ levels ㅇㅇ

ㄴ ㄹㅇ

ㄴ Hahahahahaha

ㄴ Harris > Squirrel >> Moon Si-hyun

ㄴ Hahahahahahahahaha

ㄴ That’s it ㅋㅋㅋ

– Because of one idiot, we have a chain reaction of senselessness ㅋㅋ

ㄴ But wouldn’t it cause problems for breaking the contract?

ㄴ Satori told me during a previous competition that the reason for the secrecy around participation was for the surprise factor, so it would probably just end with a scolding.

– The staff must be crying ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

—

ㄴ That was really sad ㅋㅋ

– No way, Harris and Squirrel are going to be there too? ㄷㄷ Are they both diamond level or what?

ㄴ Yes, yes

ㄴ They both seem to meet the popularity condition since they recently became famous.

– Will San-deng and Cactus show up?

ㄴ Will they?

ㄴ They usually don’t participate in competitions, so I have no idea.

ㄴ I probably won’t show up?

ㄴ They already have money and fame, so they wouldn’t come just for that.

ㄴ Unless there’s some insane motivation, they probably won’t come.

ㄴ I don’t think Moon Si-hyun will show up either, judging by her lukewarm reaction.

ㄴ ㄹㅇ

ㄴ Damn, I want to see Moon Si-hyun in the Demons competition.

—

Cactus, San-deng, and Moon Si-hyun’s group

—

Cactus: Si-hyun, are you going to participate in the Demons Competition?

Moon Si-hyun: I’m thinking about it.

—

Today, in a Discord call that naturally formed.

She replied when a message came in and took off her VR headset.

“Phew.”

For a moment, a sense of fatigue lingered in her body. Maybe it was because she had focused so hard today.

She briefly recalled what had happened earlier.

The Demons Competition, hosted by the operating company under Pazzk.

After ending the broadcast, she entered the link and searched for it separately, finding that it was indeed a well-known competition.

It was not only famous, but the threshold was also quite high.

The minimum qualification requirements were over 50,000 followers and a Fiore rating of diamond or higher.

Still, she felt a bit conflicted now. If the competition was that high level, then she would have to sacrifice a lot of her broadcasting and lifestyle.

Having read the contract, she found out there was a period for choosing, so for now, she needed to think it over.

“Phew.”

She sat back in her chair to rest. Bright sunlight streamed into the house.

…It felt a bit lonely. It’s not a working day, and she wasn’t in the mood to play Fiore today.

Her gaze slowly alternated between the bed and the window.

Should she play with her dolls, or take a walk?

The sun was slightly past its peak, bright and cool.

“Ah.”

After taking a walk, she could then play with her dolls.

“Yeah.”

It was a perfect plan. Thinking this, she opened her wardrobe.

Since it was just a light walk, she didn’t need to wear workout clothes.

…Whether inside or out.

—

After lunchtime, in the afternoon at the athletic field.

The sound of boys arguing could be heard from afar, loud enough to make out.

“No, come on. That’s a foul.”

“No, why is this a foul? Hey, Kim Myung-cheol, didn’t you step over to catch that?”

“No, I caught it a little further ahead.”

“No way, of course, he’d say he didn’t step over! If I kick it in with my hand and say I didn’t touch it, would that be a foul?”

“No way, that’s just total nonsense.”

—

Could it be that today’s match was particularly fierce? Their arguments showed no signs of calming down.

But then. At that moment.

“Hey! Front gate!”

Suddenly someone pointed somewhere and shouted.

“Front gate?”

“What is it?”

“What’s happening?”

Everyone briefly paused their argument, frowning as they turned their heads toward the front gate.

– Thud

– Tap tap

– Tap tap
—

And then, abandoning the soccer ball, everyone dashed toward the front gate, kicking up dust and shouted.

“Sister!!”

For a moment, dozens raced over, almost intimidating the subject of their excitement, as if the previous arguments were all a lie, and they smiled widely.

“Unnie! It’s been a while! Did you come to play soccer? I’ll take care of this. Come on in!”

“No, you go out, you idiot.”

“No, you and I have overlapping positions! I’m defense, why would I go out? Are you stupid?”

“What? Hey.”

In an instant, the argument ended, but now another one took its place.

“No.”

The cause of this new argument shook her head.

“I was just out for a light walk, and suddenly got the thought of soccer. I came to watch if you were playing or not.”

Despite there being a clear age difference, she used polite speech as if to prove her words. She wasn’t in her usual black workout gear but was instead dressed neatly in casual clothes.

“Oh, is that so?”

“I see.”

“Well, yeah…”

“Uh… um…”

“……”

…But the previously heightened mood began to gradually quiet down, as if dominoes were falling.

In the middle school soccer group, though seniors might sometimes join, the people who came here were mostly the same.

If that was the case, it meant everyone here had seen her at least once.

Her casual clothes suited her perfectly, but it was strange for just standing there to quiet the group.

The reason they silenced was that in front of them, stood her quietly, posture straight.

Today, she was a bit…

No, very different.

‘……’

‘……’

‘Umm…’

Everyone’s synapses seemed to align at once, their gazes landing on one common point.

And a shared thought emerged.

‘Something…’

…Had grown… bigger, hadn’t it?

An idea that could never be voiced out loud.
