Chapter 1: Roll broadcast

What are the essential elements for a person to live in society?

Food, clothing, and shelter?

Of course, they are indispensable, but I think there’s something even more crucial in modern society.

In my opinion, it’s identity, isn’t it?

If I suddenly become someone else, what happens to the assets and job I’ve built up?

It would be nice if I could just say that I’ve suddenly become a different person and get my resident registration card changed, but wouldn’t I be treated as an illegal immigrant and get arrested?

Why am I having these worries?

I became a woman, and even more absurdly, I became the character Teyli from the mobile game Guardians, which I played yesterday and got through a gacha pull.

Oh, she’s beautiful, of course.

I mean, is this level of beauty even possible?

However, I also have to deal with the problem of losing an eye and wearing a prosthetic arm.

No matter how much I look in the mirror, I still look like Teyli.

A slightly reddish-wine-colored ponytail that reaches my waist, eyes like rubies, and a cat-like, sharp gaze are also impressive.

My face wasn’t a problem.

No, rather, this face with no sense of reality is good for me.

The real problem is my right arm and left eye.

A cool eyepatch covering my left eye and a prosthetic replacing my right arm.

Even in modern times, there are people who wear an eyepatch because they’ve lost their sight, but a prosthetic is a completely different issue.

The problem isn’t that I have a prosthetic, but rather, the prosthetic itself looks like something from the future.

A transparent pipe is visible in the center of the prosthetic, and a blue liquid is constantly moving inside.

And there’s a small hole on the shoulder, but I have no idea what it’s for.

[Energy 20% self-charging in progress]

[Overheat due to self-charging. Cooling system activated]

Chiiii-

Now I get it.

Steam was coming out of the hole in my shoulder.

What will people think when they see this…?

“Hey.”

There’s no response to my words, so it doesn’t seem to be an AI.

What should I do about this?

When I move the fingers on my right hand, it feels natural, as if it has always been my own hand.

Looking in the mirror again, Teyli is a warrior herself wearing an awesome prosthetic.

Ugh, look at those muscles.

Maybe the change isn’t so bad…?

For me, who was waiting for the day I would die from my illness, there were no choices in the first place.

Even if I could go back, I wouldn’t go back.

They say that even if you roll in a pile of dung, being alive is better.

I was so happy and excited that I didn’t have to die.

Judging by the fact that there’s no pain, I can tell that the illness that was tormenting me is completely gone.

Yeah, what’s an arm and an eye?

Come to think of it, if the identity issue is resolved, it’s a hundred times better than my old situation, right?

From a small-time streamer barely paying rent and carrying around a bunch of diseases to this body?

I decided to enjoy my new life.

I pondered what to do to celebrate being alive, but nothing came to mind.

The problem is, I don’t have the money either…

Let’s just live as usual.

That would be best, right…?

First, I have to earn money to do anything.

So, I decided to turn on my broadcast.

As long as I don’t use the webcam, the prosthetic and eyepatch don’t matter, right?

Actually, I only have a microphone, so I can’t turn it on anyway…

Since it’s come to this, let’s create a new ID and start with a new nickname.

Even though I was a small-time streamer, people might recognize me.

What nickname should I use?

After a lot of thought, I just went with Teyli.

People might find it strange, but when I checked my phone, the game had completely vanished.

And of course, when I turned on the broadcast, no one came.

If I think someone will come in and spread the word after I just created and turned on the broadcast, I’m living too easy.

But… I like freebies, you know?

I was going to play a ranked game on Leoroo as usual, but a big problem arose.

My ID had been deleted or disappeared!

I quickly made a new ID, but when I thought about leveling up to 30 again, it felt overwhelming.

I closed my eyes and leaned back in the chair.

Should I contact them…?

But even if I got banned, my ID wouldn’t be deleted, so why did my ID suddenly disappear?

When I opened my eyes, the newly created ID had leveled up from 1 to 30, and I had a huge amount of blue essence.

It’s an abnormal situation no matter how you look at it.

I watched it for a while, but nothing changed.

What was going on?

Should I use the blue essence…?

I cautiously bought a champion with blue essence, but nothing happened except that the champion was purchased.

It seems like there’s a bug…

Anyway, it’s an ID I just created, so it’s okay to just play, right?

I hesitated whether to contact them or not, but I decided to just go for it.

Let’s try a ranked game.

I won’t get sanctioned, right?

As time passed, my mind became more comfortable, and random thoughts came to me.

If I play the game like this, wouldn’t someone come and watch?

Am I just a small-time streamer, thinking so carelessly?

Actually, the reason I started broadcasting was because I didn’t want to die alone in silence without anyone knowing.

There was someone I could call my friend.

We were close, like friends, with a streamer, but I cut off contact with that person.

I said I didn’t want to die without anyone knowing, but I didn’t want the person I became close to to be sad at my death.

I don’t even know what I want.

We only kept in touch with each other through KakaoTalk, so even if I said we were close like friends… in reality, there might not be any relationship at all.

They wanted to become closer, but I always refused to meet.

Actually, I don’t even know if we’re truly close.

From their point of view, they knew nothing about me: not my gender, face, or even my name.

We used each other’s broadcast nicknames.

The reason I avoided meeting was simply because I was afraid of disappointing them.

After I intentionally avoided contact, it didn’t take long for that person to give up contacting me.

It’s been a year, and I wonder how they’re doing now.

Are they still broadcasting?

My trembling hand grabbed my phone, but I gave up and put it down.

I wouldn’t have the decency to contact them again after cutting off contact.

I started broadcasting, and a week passed.

During that time, the number of viewers increased somewhat, reaching a whopping 100 people.

As new people came in and came back, the chat room became quite lively.

Everyone admired my skills… Actually, most of them watch because of my voice.

There were complaints in the chat about not playing the outdated game and asking me to do something else… It must be a joke, right?

I played a ranked game while chatting with the viewers.

I don’t even know if I’m doing well.

I stutter so much…

[(Team) Master In: Seems like the opponent will invade, ward the mid bush]

Master In was worried about a counter-jungle and asked for a ward, but Vicrore stood firm next to the mid tower and didn’t budge.

Ping, ping, ping-

[(Team) Master In: Please ward]

[(Team) Darius: I’ll ward it for you hehe]

[(Team) Darius: Master In, I’ll push the lane and go down for the river crab timing. Fighting!]

Darius’s mediation stopped Master In’s complaints, but anyone could guess that there was still some resentment.

This game seems unstable from the start…

I gave blue buff to Jhin for the four hits and went down to the bot lane with Xayah.

Master In grumbled about not giving more leash, but why should that jungler complain?

To get level 2 first, I kept using skills in the lane with Jhin, and Xayah also noticed and started poking minions.

The enemy Ezreal was also diligently hitting minions to get level 2, but the enemy Yuumi was stuck in Ezreal’s body like a parasite and didn’t come out.

As expected of the gold tier, they showed a subpar performance.

Just before level 2 was reached, Xayah immediately approached Ezreal, applied slow and air-borne, and hit him with basic attacks.

I also used binding and hit Ezreal in the back of the head.

Finally, Yuumi crawled out of Ezreal’s body and used a basic attack and went into Ezreal’s body to shield him, but it was useless.

In the end, Ezreal had to use Flash and Heal and retreated.

Ezreal and Yuumi argued in the chat and just stood still, and the bot lane atmosphere was naturally good.

[(Team) Xayah: Too bad]

Before that sound echoed from above.

[First Blood!]

[Allied (Master In) has been slain by the enemy (Lee Sin)]

[(Team) Master In: Ah Vicrore, come on]

A hook pierced Vicrore’s head, but Vicrore didn’t care and diligently hit the ranged minions.

The bottom lane atmosphere is good, so they’ll endure it, right?

Just as I was about to pass over it…

[(Team) Vicrore: k]

F*ck.

[(Team) Master In: kkkkkkkk, can’t win because of mid, just surrender]

Oh well, I don’t know.

I’ll just blow up the bottom lane, and they’ll fix their mental state.

Fortunately, the game’s flow went smoothly, contrary to Master In’s broken mental state.

The enemy Lee Sin ganked and took Darius, but it wasn’t bad because he died from bleeding out.

Even though Vicrore was in a bad matchup, he was doing well against Irelia.

It would’ve been nice if they hadn’t fought and had comforted each other, but what’s done is done.

[What kind of room is this?]

[Teyli: Hello!]

[It’s a folk game kk]

[I haven’t seen it in a while kkkkkk]

[Real kk]

“But why do you keep saying folk game..?”

A husky and beautiful voice echoes.

Even I think it sounds good.

But what does “folk game” mean?

Where did this meme come from?

I haven’t been able to move properly lately because I’m sick, but is it a meme that’s been created during that time?

[Because it’s a folk game…]

[This game has been running for years, so that’s why it’s a folk game]

[This room’s voice is really amazing]

[I’m in love with the voice]

[Noona’s voice is so cool]

-Teyli Chairman’s 10,000 won support!

I support you today too.

“Teyli Chairman…! Thank you for your 10,000 won support…!”

[Oh kk]

[kkkk]

Judging by the viewers’ reactions, it was as expected.

I still can’t be sure of my identity, so I have to think more about the webcam, but I can definitely get famous.

My voice is amazing, even to me.

“Even without Master In, it’s still… manageable.”

[Master Ins do it because they do RPGs]

[There’s nothing even if Master In is big because of the team comp]

[Are you a cheater, by the way? You haven’t been hit by a single skill?]

[Is it getting through again?]

[What kind of cheater are you, f*ck you, get lost kk, cheater-sayers keep coming]

-Cheater bastard’s 1,000 won support!

You haven’t been hit by a single skill from the start of the game to the end, and your movements are shaky, is that real?

Come to think of it, I haven’t been hit by a single skill from Ezreal, Yuumi, and Lee Sin.

Is it because of server lag?

It feels like the skills slow down strangely every time they fly.

It’s strange.

This didn’t happen from the beginning.

It got a little worse four days ago and has gotten so bad now that it looks like my character has completely stopped.

I thought the server was a mess these days…

As soon as I shut my mouth for a moment, the chat room became a mess, unlike usual.

It got out of control…

[Is it real?]

[Come to think of it, it’s really weird kk]

[These days, the bitches need help even from their oppas lol]

[It’s Demisia]

[I wrote a post on the gallery kk]

[Me]

[Lock]

[Me]

[The weather today is clear with rain]

[Ugh, why do they like the Duras? kkkkkk]

[It’s like they’re drooling and breathing heavily like that with that face, and they’d be making money if they had a cam and got a deal lol]

The chat room suddenly became boisterous.

When I glanced at the number of viewers, it was over 250 and kept increasing.

Did someone open a link?

“I’ll explain after this game… Just a moment…

[I’m hungover]

[Are you still not aware of the situation?]

[It seems like you’re going to end with this game ]

[Let them enjoy it~]

[Me]

[Don’t touch our Teyli, Teyli’s voice is so good!]

[Real kk look at how they’re jealous of how good our Teyli is kk Give that manager to me, I’ll ban them all]

[Lock]

[Duras]

“No, what is this about drooling… I’ve only been broadcasting for a week now… And if I turn off the game to explain, they’ll say I’m leaving in the middle…”

Hundreds of people were cursing, and I was immediately overwhelmed.

It was so scary and shocking.

Because the people who were so kind instantly started tearing me apart like sworn enemies.

There were people who believed in me, but they were few.

I decided to finish the game and deal with it later, so I focused on the screen again.

Since Master In started the full-fledged RPG, I had to give up all the objectives.

The enemy ate 3 dragons and started to touch Baron greedily.

[(Team) Darius: What’s with the whisper message from you?]

[(Team) Jhin: Ignore it. Let’s block Baron with the four of us first.]

[(Team) Xayah: Are you a cheater? I saw the lane a little strange before]

Allied (Jhin) is coming.

I pinged Baron and walked, so my team had to stop chatting and follow me.

I took a position while moving around Baron, and Xayah and Darius watched and placed wards near the ward, and Baron’s health was half full.

The enemy also roughly noticed and slowed down the attack speed, and we circled around and approached the enemy’s side.

Master In was still sulking and was eating CS in the bottom lane, saying, “The speed of thought!”

So we had to win the teamfight with the four of us.

It’s hard to live as Jhin since the enemy is Lee Sin, Fiss, and Aatrox…

I’m more worried about the explanation than winning the teamfight now…

But isn’t it too much to say that I’m a cheater just because I had a good game?

Come to think of it, it’s unfair.

I keep having random thoughts.

In that moment when I was lost in thought.

Aatrox suddenly started running toward me while activating his ultimate.

I used W to bind and get out, but Lee Sin wouldn’t just watch.

Lee Sin used W on Aatrox, narrowed the distance with me, and at the same time, Q was launched at me.

Lee Sin’s Q is an overpowered skill that can dash to the target, but it’s meaningless if it doesn’t hit.

There was no reason to be hit by the Q, which seemed slower than usual today, so I moved slightly to the left and avoided it.

Then I placed Jhin’s E, mandatory viewing, on the ground.

If Yuumi was attached to Aatrox or Lee Sin, she would’ve bound me with Yuumi’s R, but wouldn’t she have made a foolish play in the lane?

Now, she was hurriedly attached to Lee Sin and used her ultimate, but the ultimates of Aatrox and Yuumi just went in vain because our team and I had already widened the distance.

There’s a lag, but the enemy’s skill shots were not good.

“Everyone, it’s not a hack… it’s really because their skills are too obvious… and because of the lag…”

[Jeez]

[???: Everything~ is visible~]

[It’s not you dodging, the program is dodging instead of you, so it’s obvious kk]

Darius pulled the enemy Lee Sin and Aatrox with E, and Xayah responded with Q.

Lee Sin kicked Darius with his ultimate, but Vicrore had already installed a gravity field, and Lee Sin died from Vicrore’s free damage.

Aatrox survived with the heal from Yuumi, and Ezreal…. was trying to deal damage, but he was in a mess and only barely destroyed Xayah’s shield.

At that moment, I saw something faint flying towards me over the wall.

A fish?

Although I didn’t have vision and couldn’t see it until it flew close, Fizz’s R, Chum the Waters, which was flying slowly like a slug, could be easily avoided with a little movement.

Fizz dashed over the wall and stabbed a spear at me, but it was impossible to take down Jhin’s full HP just by stabbing.
I easily caught Fizz with Xayah and myself, and when I looked at the situation, the game was almost over.

But why did Fizz’s ultimate look like that?

No matter how I thought about it, it was strange to dismiss it as lag.

One person might have cursed because of the lag, but that didn’t happen.

While I was thinking about it for a moment, something suddenly came to mind.

It was Teyli’s setting.

Dynamic vision.

According to the setting, Teyli’s dynamic vision exceeds human limits, allowing her to see and avoid bullets with her eyes, so she fought every day but was able to return safely to base every time.

The ability to fight was an ability, but this dynamic vision was her identity, and it was the most prized of the abilities she had.

When a colleague asked how good it was, whether she could really see bullets, she replied like this.

“I saw it, so I avoided it… that’s all…”

[??????]

[You guys]

[“Slow”]

[kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

Ah!

“Di…did you hear…?”

My thoughts came out of my mouth…this kind of geeky development is the first time…

[It was k-ing, so I saw it.]

[This is a completely brainless woman]

-Victory

The game ended with the opponent’s surrender.

Now is the time to think about how to overcome this situation while ignoring the team that was bullying Master In in the results window.

I sighed and leaned back in my chair.

[Don’t have anything to say? It’s disgusting?]

[Let’s go, let’s go~]

[It’s understandable to sigh~]

[Noona, turn on the cam and say anything, I believe in you just with that!]

“How can… I make you believe that I’m not a cheater…?”

First of all, even if I explain, if most people don’t understand, it’s like pouring oil on a fire.

The explanation has to be quick and clear.

Actually, for me, this isn’t even a crisis.

On the contrary, this is definitely an opportunity, on the condition that I give a clear explanation.

I know that, but the malice of so many people scratches my insides like a fingernail.

Anyway, the curse itself isn’t a pleasant feeling.

But one thing bothered me.

No matter how ridiculous my plays were to the point that I was suspected of being a hacker, is it possible for rumors to spread this quickly and for people to gather?

It wasn’t that rumors spread naturally and people gathered; I suddenly thought that someone maliciously spread the rumors.

Why to me, who was only being watched by about 100 people?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand.

[Hand cam?]

[Jeez kkk, has the hand cam ever been explained? Ingben ]

[What do you explain, you cheater]

[Hey, if you remember the Frog incident, step on the neutral gear.]

[Real kk, are you trying to do this again with the forest friends?]

[Tell the truth, you bitch]

“If there’s anyone who can invite me, please invite me… Ingben? If there’s a place to come, I’ll go right away…”

[Do it]

[A young streamer invite me]

[It’s so dizzy]

“First of all, thank you for watching the broadcast today… and for now, I’m not a hacker, so please step on the neutral gear… I’m the victim, right..?”

-Principle of the Rule of Pi’s 1,000 won support!

???: If you’re the victim, shut up.

[kkk, suddenly, I want an apple pie]

[Teba~]

[F*ck kkkk How long have you been broadcasting that Teba sound is coming out]

[Domhwangcha~]

The popularity I was hoping for wasn’t this…

Ugh…

Although it’s angering, since I explain it, it’s an opportunity for my broadcast to go up right away…

Knowing that, the malice of countless people pricked me like a spear, and the chat kept reminding me of it.

My identity issue has now become an issue that can’t be postponed.

I was so shocked that I threw myself onto the bed and lay down, and I fell asleep.

No, isn’t it normal to not fall asleep when you’re shocked?

I don’t know.

I took out my phone and checked the time, and it was around 10 o’clock.

Actually, since I played one game and quit, it ended earlier than expected, but it’s not bad to go to bed early.

Let’s leave this to tomorrow’s me.
