Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

---

– No, please stop…

– How long are you going to keep this up?

– Let’s get some sleep.

– It’s morning now, dammit!

“What sound… is that…?”

What time could it possibly be right now?

I had been holding out for ten hours while sipping on energy drinks.

My head was spinning like crazy.

“We’re almost there, you know…?”

At first, I felt lost, but I had gotten used to the flow of the game through my losing streaks.

Honestly, it’s not a dream to reach Platinum now; I just need to put in the time.

– Oh man, what a tough one lol.

– You should really get some sleep lol.

– What do you mean ‘almost gained Gold’?

“Ugh…”

I looked at the tier displayed in the game window.

[Gold 4 – 21]

However, due to too many consecutive losses, I’ve now just reached Gold despite winning several matches.

It seems stretching for Platinum today is a bit unrealistic.

“I’ll rest a bit, so wait for me…”

– ???

– No way, dammit.

At least the bet lasts until the broadcast is over.

As long as I don’t end the stream.

What a situation.

Another sleep stream?

I thought I wouldn’t have any work after Miro went offline.

“…Everyone, please get some rest and return.”

– Seriously, just end the broadcast!!

– Just admit your defeat, please!

– This person is really toxic lol.

A few hours later.

With superhuman mental strength, I got up in the afternoon and headed straight to the soundproof booth.

– When is Miro coming?

– This dude said he would only sleep for three hours, right?

– It’s already afternoon lol.

“…Looks like everyone’s doing okay.”

I wondered what they had to talk about while I was gone.

The chat was bustling.

– Oh!

– Miro is here!

– Why are you so late, dammit?

“Aha… I’m a bit late, right? I was sleeping… yawn….”

I said, sitting in my chair, still half asleep.

Let’s see… well, I didn’t sleep for that long.

“I’m starting the game immediately.”

Stretching out, I began a League of Legends ranked game.

“Wow, things are going well in the game.”

– Of course.

– You were sleeping, after all, dammit.

– But seriously, you’re doing well lol.

Maybe it was because I had those feels before going to bed?

The games that started afterward went smoothly.

Of course…

“Here we go again.”

– First game, and they’re already fighting lol.

– Every match, it’s always a fight lol.

– This is really dizzying lol.

It’s a team game, so unexpected situations happen all the time.

Why are they fighting so much?

Well, as long as they don’t stop to get all emotional and mess up the game, I’m fine with it.

“It looks like the chat is watching our room’s chat.”

– ??

– Stop it.

– Ugh.

Just look at them now.

The support roamed to the top after tussling in the bottom lane.

Why is it that whenever there’s a fight, the support decides to leave for another lane?

From their perspective, they might think they’re abandoning the ADC while playing the game, but honestly, from a laner’s perspective, it’s no different than carrying a huge burden.

“Hmm, looks like we’re losing this game too.”

– Looks like it lol.

– This is rank despair at its finest.

– The support really is useless.

– Should we call Mr. Kool?

“Hey, don’t randomly send friend requests to those people.”

But I guess after playing too many games since yesterday, I’m not really angry about seeing things like this anymore.

I have plenty of games ahead of me anyway.

It’s better to quickly send off a bad game and find a new one.

– But when are you going to rank up to Platinum??

– The first match is going well lol.

– Let’s just play some horror games for fun, right??

“My bets aren’t done yet!”

Although I’m still in the low Gold tier, after waking up and feeling my head return to normal, my confidence has risen.

I feel like I could reach Platinum today.

[Defeat]

Of course, I lost this match.

“Ugh… Should I eat and continue?”

– Did you lose again? lol.

– The game truly is hopeless.

– I might just need to play double the games to win at this rate.

“Playing double isn’t a problem.”

– Haha lol.

– Buhwang’s confidence is unreal.

Honestly, I’m overflowing with confidence.

However, I also feel the need for some improvement.

“Hey, but who’s the best player in the Celestial Realm besides me?”

This game was just a continuation of what I had been feeling.

There’s a limit to solo queue warriors.

If I want to rise quickly, I’ll need a duo partner.

– Lmao.

– Wanna play a duo?

– No buses allowed, not at all.

“Is there anyone in the Celestial Realm who can bus me?”

I mean, I could invite some ranked players or former pros to duo, and that would be considered a bus.

But isn’t it okay to look for people just to hit Platinum in the Celestial Realm?

– That’s what I’m saying lol.

– But perhaps it’s better not to duo?

– Everyone really is that bad, huh.

“Are they really that terrible? Isn’t there anyone decent?”

Well… I guess there’s no one who seems capable.

Is there really no one worth finding for a duo?

– I guess Roa is somewhat better.

– Eun-ha and young players like her are better, for sure.

– Let’s just take an Iron 1 player and carry them.

“…What’s Roa and Eun-ha’s tier?”

– Seo Eun-ha Silver 2.

– Roa is Gold 3, yep.

“Oh, Gold 3?”

That’s a bit hopeful, right? Roa…

“Wait a moment, let me look up their user names.”

What I need right now is someone who can contribute at least one good performance without team fighting.

Anyway, if Roa is actually Gold, I’ll ask for her nick and then look her up.

“Oh… she’s a support user?”

– Look at Roa’s champion pool lol.

– Hyeji?

Roa definitely doesn’t seem like a support user; she plays a lot of utility champions.

You know, the kind often called Hyeji.

“Perfect, I’m hiring her.”

I had been wanting to swap out mid for a while.

Thinking of going bot duo with Roa, I called her immediately.

[Hello?]

“Hey Roa, sis.”

[What brings you to call?]

“Do you want to go bot duo with me?”

[Huh?]

– Hahaha lol.

– Flirting 101 lol.

– Right, even if it’s just duo, we should do it lol.

– With Roa, I feel strong, for real.

[Oh, um… how many games shall we play?]

It was a somewhat sudden call, but thankfully, Roa accepted.

After I invited her to the game, I called her on Discord.

[Aaah, hello?]

“Yeah, yeah.”

[But are you still playing King of Broadcasting?]

“Uh, you know about that?”

[It’s pretty famous.]

“Is it?”

It’s not like it’s that famous or anything.

Sure, my viewer count is decent.

– You are currently ranked number one on Dwitch lol.

– Look at the viewer count.

– If you lifted the chat restrictions, the chat would probably triple.

“Ah, I see.”

I didn’t notice the viewer count was actually pretty high.

I had set chat limitations exclusively for subscribers, so it didn’t show before.

Looks like I got some attention from a community or something.

“Well, more viewers is good. Shall we jump right into the game?”

But that’s not what’s important to me right now.

Does having a higher view count lessen my betting conditions? Nope, not really.

In fact, it seems like most of the new community viewers are those who hope to see me fail.

Still, I was determined to win that bet.

With the mindset to prove my own purity, I started the game.

*

Hours later, as I began my duo games.

“Oh.”

“…I lost again.”

– Hahahahahaha.

– Win-loss-win-loss-loss-win-loss-loss-loss-loss lol.

– Seriously, it’s like running in place lol.

– Come on, let’s just play a casual game~

It’s now Sunday night, but my tier hasn’t changed much.

“Why do I keep losing?”

Isn’t the game supposed to be bottom-focused heavily?

Why am I not getting ganks in the bottom lane?

The opposing team seems to come in droves.

– Man, my team luck is really terrible lol.

– But at this rate, you might as well be a local player.

– Gold tier feels just right for Buhwang lol.

– Declaring defeat now?

“No way, this is not a loss…!”

Where?

Have you ever seen Buhwang lose a bet?!

Absolutely not!

“Ugh… Let’s play the next match.”

[…More here?]

Roa, who had only played support for hours straight, seemed a bit weary.

Maybe she wanted to head to bed soon…

“If you’re gone, I’m doomed!”

I can’t let her leave!

Even after losing with Roa by my side, they expect me to go back alone? I don’t even want to think about it.

– Hahahahahaha.

– Poor Roa just wants to sleep lol.

– Buhwang really is persistent lol.

[…I’ll stay until dawn.]

“Thank you!”

In the end, I managed to keep Roa with me all night long.

But would my clinginess actually pay off?

As dawn began to break and the night turned into morning.

[Gold 2 – 1lp]

“Wow….”

– Wow lol.

– You played amazing this match.

– How did you manage to win this?

I managed to climb to Gold 2 successfully.

“Ugh….”

[Can I, uh, go to sleep now?]

“…Great job.”

I have to give credit for this to Roa.

She truly stayed with me until almost sunrise.

[Then I’ll say my goodbyes… I’m heading off to sleep.]

“Yes, take care.”

So, Roa left for now.

“…I’m also starting to feel my limits.”

Looking at the game screen displaying my promotion, I said that.

– You really worked hard.

– Your effort is commendable.

– Now let’s get some deep sleep.

Did the viewers really understand my passion?

They sent me encouraging messages in the chat, which were rather unexpected.

“Right? I really did work hard, didn’t I?”

– Yep.

– Truly a tough one lol.

– That’s it for today.

“So my victory in the bet goes to…?”

Yes, even I think I’ve truly worked hard.

I’m not kidding; I must have played around thirty hours of League.

With this level of effort, surely the viewers will acknowledge my victory…

– ?

– ??

– That’s different, but the bet is something else lol.

– So then, what’s your tier?

– You still need to play casual games, damn it lol.

– Yes, you worked hard but you lost.

– They’ll acknowledge a worthy battle without crossing the line.

…Not a chance.

“Ugh….”

It’s already Monday.

I had cleared my schedule over the weekend, so I need to return to my schedule today.

I probably can’t sleep much, right now.

I had no idea my bet started on Saturday would lead to this much… it’s rather perplexing.

“Then it can’t be helped… I’ll sleep for now.”

– For real??

– Are you declaring defeat now?

– Are you actually going to leave?

– You should get some rest lol.

“No, I won’t end the broadcast….”

– ?????

– No way, lol.

– This person is really something.

I never thought I’d end up having to do a second sleep stream from a broadcast…

Asking my viewers for their understanding, I stepped out of the soundproof booth.

“Ugh….”

I need to wake up after just a few hours of sleep to manage my schedule.

Sleep stream or not, I can’t keep the broadcast running while managing my schedule.

Can I really let it be like this?

In the end, before going to bed, I sent out one urgent message from my phone.

**

Several hours later.

“Wake up!”

“Huh, huh?”

I woke up hearing Mrs. Jang’s shout.

“What time is it?”

“It’s ten o’clock, I told you to wake up.”

“Oh, just right!”

…It’s already ten o’clock.

Time to start preparing and head out for the schedule.

What about the broadcast, you ask?

I have my ways.

As I stepped out to the living room, I noticed a large woman sitting on the sofa.

“Has Soo-hyun woken up?”

“Ah, thank you for coming over.”

It was Maho, with Bok-sil in her lap.

“By the way, about the substitute broadcast…”

Earlier, just before going to sleep, I had quickly sent Maho a request for help.

“Sure, I’ll handle it.”

“I’m not sure what I should do.”

“Just be yourself. For now, let’s head to the soundproof booth.”

Luckily, since my house is nearby, she responded to my request for help.

I’m really grateful for this.

I had no one to take over the broadcasting while I was gone.

So, Maho and I entered the soundproof booth together.

“…Huh?”

Maho looked at my PC screen and gasped.

“Soo-hyun? There are so many viewers!”

“Ah… I guess it picked up due to the horror game promise and the King of Broadcasting.”

There were indeed an unexpectedly high number of viewers stacking up.

I wonder what’s so interesting that they gathered so eagerly.

Plus, if I start the game again here, a few thousand more will probably show up.

“…Can we just play horror games? It’s rather doable.”

“…No way.”

Horror games?

Sure, I could endure it if I closed my eyes.

But I can’t hold out on losing after pushing this limit for so long.

“I’m getting nervous because there are so many viewers.”

“Keep your spirits up; you can do it.”

I seated Maho in the soundproof booth, and I headed out for my schedule.

Later….

“…Soo-hyun, you really should get some sleep.”

“Ah, is it that obvious?”

“You’ve got dark circles under your eyes.”

“Ah… the shop will cover them up, right?”

Covering my dark circles at the shop and proceeding with my scheduled events.

“…Aren’t you going to bed?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you want to head off early if you’re sleepy?”

“No, no.”

I had been practicing while half-asleep in Hyeon-su’s Workshop.

After skipping my workout, by the time I finally got home.

“Soo, Soo-hyun, save me.”

Maho, looking exhausted, greeted me.

“…Am I a little late?”

“More than a little? I was struggling a lot… The viewers wouldn’t stop asking where you were…”

Maho seemed utterly drained.

That lively shine in her eyes was completely gone.

“…If I win the bet, I’ll make it up to you.”

“And what kind of reward will I receive if you win that bet?”

“…I’ll treat you to some beef.”

“Okay….”

Seeing Maho’s sacrifice almost made me tear up.

Looks like I need to work incredibly hard now.

“By the way, sis, could you help out tomorrow too?”

“…Couldn’t you just ask Anna instead?”

“…I’ll do that.”

“I’m going to sleep a bit…”

“Yeah, sure.”

Maho then collapsed straight onto my bed.

Watching her retreating figure, I steeled myself and entered the soundproof booth.

“I’m back.”

– Why are you back now??

– Is Maho going to sleep??

– Where did you go lol?

– You better pay Maho back for her meals for life.

“Alright… let’s get back to it.”

Although I’m dead tired.

I booted up League for the sake of the bet.

“Today, I will make it to Platinum!”

I’m determined to reach Platinum no matter what.

If I can’t make it today, I can do it tomorrow; if I can’t do it tomorrow, then the day after.

– For real, though, you’re relentless.

– Seriously, girl…

– Do you hate horror games that much??

“Ha ha….”

As the broadcasts crawled from Saturday to Sunday, then Monday, and into Tuesday.

Finally, around Wednesday, when I felt utterly drained and couldn’t even bear to play League anymore.

“…Look at this.”

I pointed at the shiny glow on my monitor screen.

[You have been promoted to Platinum Rank.]

– Holy crap…

– Please play some horror games.

– This is insane lol.

– You really pulled it off!

– Damn!

“Ahahaha…!”

I finally did it.

I achieved it.

Looking behind the soundproof booth, I could see collapsed members of the celestial ranks filling up the space.

Maho and Anna who had substituted for me, as well as Roa, all snoring away.

They stayed up cheering for me until dawn, then fell asleep.

“Tomorrow, I’m definitely eating beef.”

– Stop it with the horror games!!

– Damn it.

– Just be Buhwang already.

– Seriously, damn.

“Ha ha….”

With those praises ringing in my ears, I stumbled out of my chair as I felt the exhaustion take hold.

There were many moments when I wanted to give up in between.

However, during those times, I gained strength from the chats of viewers who were hoping to see me win.

“Thank you all for your support.”

Plopping down, I squeezed my way onto the bed where the others had collapsed and closed my eyes.

What a hard-fought battle this has been.

The sun began to rise, signaling that I had a schedule today.

But I forgot it all and simply closed my eyes.

In a historic streaming event on Dwitch.

The unprecedented 100-hour non-stop first place broadcast of King of Broadcasting came to an emphatic conclusion with my victory.
