Episode 4
It’s very rare for someone who loses in a Kesak game to actually delete their character.
But the vibe made it feel like Kesarex was actually going to delete the character.
When 300 people raise their voices, even if it’s just text in the chat, it feels like something major is happening.
But in reality, they’re nothing.
They’re just spitting out whatever thoughts come to their heads, and there’s no one who will take responsibility for the outcome.
If you get swayed by that, you’re just an idiot.
‘Kesarex is just that stupid to begin with.’
The conclusion is that I was worried Kesarex would delete the character, regret it, and then run off with the 1 million won.
It probably cost more than 1 million to raise that character.
How severe would the post-deletion depression be?
If that leads to a scam, it would be a loss for both me and them.
[Who says he won’t delete it?]
[So many people are watching this.]
“Shut the hell up, you orphans. Why are you giving advice when it’s between me and her?”
[If the people involved agree, there’s no problem.]
[You just want to see the character you spent all that money and time on get deleted, huh? Haha.]
[What’s more fun than watching someone else lose their money? For real.]
[Isn’t calling them orphans a bit harsh?]
[Suddenly saying their parents are gone, haha.]
[You still can’t get used to the manager? If you don’t like it, just leave, haha.]
[I’m jealous of Kesarex getting attention from the manager. I hate Kesarex for getting attention from the manager. I’m jealous of Kesarex for getting attention from the manager. I hate Kesarex for getting attention from the manager. I’m jealous of Kesarex for getting attention from the manager. I hate Kesarex for getting attention from the manager. I’m jealous of Kesarex for getting attention from the manager. I hate Kesarex for getting attention from the manager.]
[The guy above has completely lost it, hahaha.]
[That mouth of his! Our manager is right!!!]
[Calling him that is too harsh, he might be a virgin.]
[Ugh, spicy.]
[But it’s deliciously spicy, haha.]
[Keep cursing, Noonaaaaaa.]
[Waaah, I’m a baby orphan, Noona, be my mom, give me milk.]
[The protractor is getting smashed to pieces, these crazy bastards, hahaha.]
[It’s fine since it’s mutual. Mutual? Momma’s milk?]
[Do your parents know you’re living like this?]
[LoFa really is a mental asylum…]
[Is there anyone normal left among the people still playing this game?]
Indeed, everyone playing this game is a mental case.
Without exception, including me…
But if this had happened with me as a man, everyone would have been going crazy and hung me on the execution rack.
Just because I’m a woman, the way people look at me changes this much?
I really don’t understand this world.
I really don’t get it.

After the broadcast ended, Kesarex sent the 300,000 gold and 1 million won as promised.
Well, the 300,000 gold was fine, but the 1 million won should have been sent after deducting the fees.
I don’t know for sure, but I imagine the broadcast donation fees are no joke.
[Why did you send the full 1 million won?]
[You should have deducted the fees before sending it.]
[Are you really this stupid?]
[No.]
[It’s okay.]
[Just take it.]
…Was this guy from a rich family too?
I hate this world where everyone except me is rich.
I wish they were all dead.
“Hehe…”
Still, what does 1 million won matter? After receiving it, I felt a little better.
What should I do with it, what should I do, what should I do…
The truth is, I don’t have much to spend it on, so it’s likely I’ll just use it for everyday expenses.
My hobbies are pretty much limited to reading and gaming.
Among those, I do enjoy collecting books, but…
My house is too small to fit multiple bookshelves.
So, I just enjoy it but can’t actually collect them.
Besides, this is just a rented place, and I’ll have to move out soon anyway.
If I bring heavy books in, it’ll just be a hassle when I move.
I don’t really spend money on games.
It might look like I’m playing an RPG, but I’m actually a hardcore dueling arena player.
The main content, like raids, requires too much setup cost.
Since I don’t have the time to grind for it, those are things I can’t enjoy.
“Still, receiving 1 million won without indulging in any luxuries feels a bit strange.”
If I just deposit it in my bank account and save it,
how pathetic would that life be?
It’s not money I earned from work, but if I can’t even spend the easy money I got by chance,
how sad would I be? Seriously.
“Hmm…”
After some thought, I decided to order a pizza.
Why?
Because if I freeze it, I can eat it for a long time.
Chicken, on the other hand, loses its taste when it gets soggy.
But pizza, if you take it out of the freezer and microwave it, it’s not as good as fresh, but it’s still pretty decent.
“Hehe, hehehe.”
I hummed as I reflected on the day’s events.
I’m still living the same as always, but just changing my voice, fingers, and skin color has caused people around me to treat me differently.
Well, it’s not like I became white. But I did get so pale that it could confuse someone at a glance.
Ding dong.
The delivery was here, so I went to open the door.
“Ah!”
The delivery guy jumped back in surprise.
Now that I think about it, I wasn’t wearing pants.
I’ve gotten used to just wearing underwear and a T-shirt when I’m alone at home.
“People can be comfortable at home!”
Ugh, what a mess.
But I started to worry he might think I’m a pervert with exhibitionist tendencies.
Should I have just said nothing?
“Right. Haha.”
The delivery guy looked away, embarrassed.
But I couldn’t just turn around and put on pants.
If I did, my unnecessarily large butt would be shaking for no reason.
I took the pizza and the separately packaged cola from him and sent the delivery guy away.
I placed the pizza on the dining table and went to bed, kicking the blankets.
“Ugh! Damn! Am I an idiot!”
I was just thinking about how different people treat me now that I’m a woman, but I ended up opening the door without pants on.
No, it’s the delivery guy’s fault for not following the instructions.
Because of the damn COVID-19, everything is done remotely now.
I prepaid and even wrote in the instructions to leave it at the door and send a text, so why the hell did he ring the bell and deliver it directly?
“This world is just out to mess with me!”
But the pizza was delicious.
I ate one slice and put the remaining five pieces in a sealed container and into the freezer.
I feel like a hamster storing food.
What can I do?
Now that I’m a woman, my stomach has shrunk to an uncomfortable size.
***
While she indulged in a little luxury and shame, the Lost Fighter Story Revolution gallery, abbreviated as LoFaGal, was blazing with discussions about her.
[Wait, the manager was a woman?]
[There was a woman in this game????]
[-There are a few women, but there really aren’t any in the dueling arena.]
[-It’s not that there are no women in the dueling arena, it’s that there are no people.]
[-Savage truthㄴ.]
[-Still, there was a time when it was called the god-tier PVP game… ]
[-Talking about the LoFa from 10 years ago, nostalgia for old people.]
[Are there still people who haven’t heard the manager’s voice?]
[Getting a buffalo for that, hahaha.]
[-(Voice clip extracted from a broadcast video.)]
[-Holy shit, is this real? Is she not a voice actress?]
[-What kind of voice actress talks about orphans and stuff like that? Hahaha.]
[What’s with the voice…?]
[Where’s the full version? I’m going to use this instead of hypnosis ASMR today.]
[No one cares about your disgusting sexual desires, please don’t show off.]
[Is it possible for a woman to be a dueling arena ranker? Is it faked?]
[(I really don’t know.)]
[-Stop the misogyny, you incel.]
[-Girls can do anything!]
[-But the manager’s dueling arena win rate is over 90%, so I think it’s suspicious.]
[-But I have to admit, she turned on handcam and verified it neatly.]
[-How does a 90% win rate even happen? Is she even human?]
[-She’s that good, but why isn’t she ranked #1?]
[-Doesn’t play the game much.]
[-What do you mean by “doesn’t play the game much”?]
[-She’s just really good, but she can’t get #1 due to a lack of games played.]
[-Incel scum sucking up so hard, winning streaks in the lower ranks and not playing in the ranked section.]
[-What the hell is this guy talking about, hahaha. Didn’t you see Kesarex getting destroyed today?]
[-Kesarex is probably all fake.]
[-The 17th-ranked player on the leaderboard is fake, hahaha. That’s hilarious, I’m leaving with a laugh.]
[Overwhelmingly good at the game, foul-mouthed woman?]
[From today, I’m going to be the #1 fan of the manager.]
[-Shut the hell up, I’m the #1 fan.]
[-You idiots are really acting like this. Why would you want to suck up to a woman you’ve never even seen?]
[You mean you really want to see the ultimate loser after seeing her face, right?]
[-For real, isn’t that just saying you’d suck up to her if she’s pretty? Hahaha.]
[You guys are crazy, saying you’d suck up to the manager just because she’s a woman?]
[Have you already forgotten what that guy did to get banned so many times?]
[-Yep, don’t remember any of it~ I reset my memory after hearing her voice~]
[-As long as it’s not me, I’m fine!!!!]
[-I did get banned, but thinking of her as a cute girl is like a reward.]
[-For real, that’s something you should be paying for, a high-end service.]
Some who were severely burned were disgusted, but most users started consuming her as an idol, combining the elements of being a top-tier dueling arena ranker + a woman + and a foul-mouthed persona into one.
Not long after, a ‘who can get cursed at the most by her’ competition began in the gallery, a ridiculous ‘Olympics of Idiocy.’
For some users who hated the manager to their core, it was utterly disgusting to see.
