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

---

After the festival ended and became a hot topic.

I became a blue chip in the advertising world, shooting a ton of commercials, but I continued with my zombie survival game steadily.

“Nice to meet you.”

– Hey!

– Finally made it, haha!

– Is today the day?

“Yes, it seems like it.”

At first, I struggled and died a lot, but now I’m used to the atmosphere of this zombie world.

It’s slightly stuffy, yet this cold air feels familiar.

The season is already deep winter in the gaming time.

That’s why I put on some extra clothes and stepped outside.

“Wow, look at all the corpses.”

– Wow, haha!

– Why are there so many??

– This is insane, haha!

“True. I wonder how many I caught.”

Was it after I cleared the zombie wave at the end?

Corpses are piled high outside the house.

And then…

[Hey! Over there!]

A person crawls out from among the corpses.

Seeing the blood dripping, it looks like they’re injured.

Going by their appearance… yeah, they must be a soldier.

“Looks like a soldier wandering around nearby.”

I casually munched on a chocolate bar while watching them approach.

– Yup, seems like it.

– If it’s a soldier, should we go for it?

– Are they friendly?

“Well, I don’t know if they’re friendly or not, but that doesn’t matter.”

As my survival in this zombie world stretched on,

I set a few rules for myself.

They gradually increased over time, now filling a corner of my notepad.

The most important principle I considered.

A pledge that I always remind myself of and the reason I made this rule.

Simply put:

“I trust no one but myself.”

If survivors are seen, they should be shot immediately.

I pulled out my gun and fired.

Bang! Bang!

[Ah!!]

With a cute sound from the silencer, the raider falls.

– Woah!

– Now, I really have to kill them.

– Stupid raiders, haha!

Maybe because I’ve fought hard during this time.

At first, even the viewers scolded me for killing everyone, but now they know the cruelty of the raiders.

They rob others’ houses, take their cars.

They come in groups and shoot people.

They are the last parasites of this sick world.

Of course, I also rob houses, take cars, and shoot at people.

But well, isn’t that how the apocalypse works?

If I do it, it’s romance; if someone else does it, it’s infidelity.

Anyway, for now, I started to farm the piled corpses.

“Wow, there are a lot of goodies on these corpses.”

– For real, really stinking now, haha!

– But there are some tasty things.

“Yeah, looks like there are some things I can pick up and dismantle.”

Actually, it’s normal not to get anything from corpses at this point.

But I’ve added a mode, so the corpses are somewhat rewarding.

As I continued to farm the corpses and pass the time,

Before I knew it, in-game evening had come, and I returned home.

“Ah….”

My current base was a remodeled three-story mansion.

It provided decent defense and had ample space, so I liked it.

“The view outside is great.”

Sitting on the third-floor terrace of that house, I said while watching the sunset.

– For real, haha!

– It is nice, haha!

– The location is really top-notch.

So many things happened until settling here.

Looking back now, it’s all memories.

“Shall we wrap this up soon?”

But now it’s time to conclude.

I can’t stay here for life.

What remains is only escape.

– Wow!

– You’re really wrapping it up now.

– Are you heading out right away?

“I’ve almost finished preparing.”

I had requested a rescue helicopter in advance.

What remains is just to signal from the rooftop of the most prominent building in the big city, the department store, and hold on.

How long do I need to hold out?

Considering the time deviation, roughly about a day, right?

I need to pack a lot of food and wake-up drugs.

Thinking about how the zombies will swarm, I also need to stock up on ammo.

I used up too much during the previous wave.

“Should I stock up on bullets first?”

Coincidentally, there’s a military base nearby that I haven’t looted much.

I can take my car and sweep it clean.

– Let’s go!

– Let’s clear it all!

– I need to fix the car before I go.

“Oh, the car? I suppose so.”

The heavily modified car got pretty damaged during the last wave.

… I remember the time when the barricade broke, and they burst into the house, forcing me to jump into the car.

I almost died back then.

I can’t let myself die after building up this character for hours.

Anyway, I repaired the main vehicle, the military truck, and soon set off.

In fact, the nearby military base is somewhat nearby, but the journey takes some time.

One of the advantages of this game is its vast map, but that also means a lot of time spent on the move.

“What are you all doing lately?”

So during this long travel time, I usually chat like this with the viewers.

– Damn, we’ve been waiting for your stream!

– What else would I do?

– Just waiting for the stream in my room.

“Well… I’ve been doing fine, I guess.”

Why are they so worked up?

True, I’ve been streaming here and there, but I haven’t been doing it often.

– Are you sure you’ve been doing fine?

– Argh, please stream more often!!

“Um, well, I have no comments.”

From my end, I’ve been busy.

But from Miro’s perspective, I understand their frustration with this drought of streams.

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation!]

Miro, what have you been doing not to stream lately?

– For real!

– Are you shooting commercials or something?

– Are you abandoning us?

“Well… the thing is…”

Originally, after the festival, I planned to stream a lot during my break.

But somehow, I’ve mainly been doing commercials.

And now, drama filming has started, and I have specific meetings for the year-end concert.

At this rate, if I can’t stream more, I can’t.

… I feel pretty bad about it.

Well, if I can’t stream much, I’ll have to make those streams worth it, right?

And besides, if I can hold on, we’ll have the year-end live concert.

“I’m just really sorry, everyone.”

– You jerk!!

– Just say you’re streaming already…

– Damn it…

– Please stream!

“I’ll try my best next year as a campaign promise.”

Once the dramas air, I should have a better schedule.

The already filmed survival game drama season 1 will probably come out this year, and for season 2, I can shoot it next year, but there’ll be a bit of a gap between them.

Zombie dramas are the same.

Of course, once the dramas come out, they’ll make a splash, but I don’t think it’ll be as busy as it is right now.

No matter how well the dramas do, they’re both supporting roles.

The survival game drama season 2 might be close to being a lead role, though?

But then again, will I become famous as I did after the summer festival?

Personally, I consider this the peak.

“For now, I’ll farm some shells.”

Anyway, after that, I arrived at the military base.

Having swept it clean before, I easily collected ammo and returned home.

“Now, shall we go?”

– Let’s go!

– Are we all set?

– Can we head out right away?

“Yes, let’s eat and head out.”

I’ve stocked up on bullets, and I already have some canned goods and medicine saved up.

It’s definitely time to embark on this journey to see the end of the game.

– Crying…

– So this is the end for this house…

– Let’s enjoy one last dinner?

“A feast, huh… Sounds good.”

It was a dirty world, but this house gave me warmth.

… Of course, I took over and remodeled someone else’s house, but anyway.

I entered the kitchen and cooked for the first time in a while.

In the early stages of the survival game, I tried so hard to level up my cooking skills.

Now, I’ve reached a level where I can turn spoiled food into decent meals.

“Wow, the cooking turned out great.”

– Top-notch!

– This is it, haha!

– It’s a waste to level up.

“What’s there to waste? I made this to escape.”

After making a generous serving of food and eating,

“Then I shall take my leave.”

I poured some fuel near the house and held a lighter in my hand.

– ???

– No way…

– Oh…

– Don’t do it!

“I’ll be escaping with a no-turning-back mindset.”

When there’s an escape route, a person becomes weak.

This house is too warm for me; it shouldn’t exist.

I dropped the lighter, and it ignited the wooden house.

– Oh!

– Oh no!

– We worked so hard on this…

“Let’s not hesitate.”

Watching the house blaze up, I stepped outside.

Then without hesitation, I hopped into the military truck and started it.

The destination is the department store in the big city.

Broom–

As the engine responded, the truck started moving.

Leaving behind the blazing house, I embarked on my journey of escape.

**

“Ah… Is this it?”

After arriving in the big city.

I hadn’t even gone to the department store, yet the entrance of the city was swarming with zombies.

– Look at all those zombies, haha!

– Can you handle all of this?

– There are raiders over there too!

“…Honestly, I’m not sure.”

There are too many; can I even handle this?

Besides, there seemed to be raiders emerging around, quickly getting wiped out.

To hold out here, they’d probably need a group of soldiers to make it manageable.

As I thought about how many armed soldiers it would take to clear the place,

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Suddenly, gunfire erupted from within.

“Are there raiding soldiers shooting?”

As always, I headed towards the sound to deal with the raiders, spotting a group of soldiers engaged in combat around the department store.

“Hmm…”

It looks dangerous, surrounded by zombies.

Moreover, on one side, a soldier with bandages is down.

Should I just leave and go?

They’d probably be wiped out even if I didn’t interfere.

Normally, I’d hop out to take them down, but since I’m going to escape now, I’m feeling somewhat reluctant.

Besides, seeing them struggle is becoming too relatable.

“Should I leave them be?”

– ???

– What’s going on? Haha!

– You’d normally toss a molotov at them right away.

“I’m heading out anyway, so it should be fine to let them go.”

Saving some ammo, I was about to turn the steering wheel when…

“Should I show some mercy?”

For some reason, their desperate state struck a chord with me, so I got out of the truck.

Then…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I emptied a magazine or so, tidying up a good amount of zombies surrounding the soldiers.

– ???

– What the…

– Did you just help the raiders?

“Let’s share some kindness at the end.”

It’s a time where kindness can seem like a cheap joke.

But before escaping, I thought this little goodwill was worth it, right?

Having saved the soldiers with that little deed, I turned the truck around.

Even if those soldiers were friendly raiders, taking them along now doesn’t fit my plan—I decided to not associate with raiders anymore.

Besides, it feels ridiculous to try and recruit comrades now.

“Look, there’s the department store ahead.”

Just like always,

I, alone, drove the truck to the front of the department store.
