“A peaceful afternoon.”

“Oh my goodness, what should we do?”

“What?”

“Isn’t this dangerous?”

“Probably.”

“Oh my, oh my!”

Mrs. Jang, sitting next to me on the sofa, was flailing her arms and smacking my shoulder.

“It hurts.”

“Is that what matters? You’ve been caught!”

“That’s not me.”

“Then who is it?”

“It’s Sera.”

You have to watch a drama as a drama.

Right now, Sera is cornered on the TV, but here I am comfortably sitting on the sofa, just observing.

“She’s gonna run away, right? She’s going to survive, isn’t she?”

“Isn’t anything I say a spoiler?”

“…That’s true.”

Mrs. Jang sighed at my response and continued watching TV.

Well, to conclude…

“Oh my!”

Sera won’t be escaping.

After all, we’re in the later half of the drama, and there’s no room for her to run away now.

To critique her role, Sera isn’t a character capable of running away in that situation alone.

“Oh no, look how she’s getting caught.”

“Why doesn’t she seduce him?”

Ultimately caught, Sera is carried away while crying and yelling.

Mrs. Jang seems so absorbed in her plight, feeling pity.

“She may be bad, but… it’s a bit pitiful.”

Now that I think about it, I remember that there was such public opinion.

I’ve seen comments about Sera being cute because she acts like a petulant child.

…I think it’s just her blushing face.

Even if the same action is done, it looks different when a pretty girl does it.

Sera is a prime example of that.

Well, perhaps the writer predicted that and crafted Sera’s ending that way.

Mrs. Jang glances at me while watching TV.

“Did you think she would cry like that?”

“I didn’t know until she acted.”

“Goodness… that daughter actually looks more human.”

“Whatever.”

Still, comparing me to Sera is a bit…

I have no criminal record.

I’ve never harmed anyone either.

[Waaaaah—! Manager Kim!! Nam Kyungmin!!]

Well, maybe she has more varied expressions over there.

Just as I was watching Sera’s demise, I got up from my seat.

“Are we going to start the broadcast now?”

“Yes, I’ve seen enough.”

I should turn it on quickly before the word gets out.

Hmm? To be honest, I pretended to be nonchalant, but I felt a bit embarrassed.

Because it was my face doing that.

My makeup was completely ruined too.

It wouldn’t be long before memes flooded the community, and everyone would know.

That’s why I entered the room, set everything up, and turned on the broadcast.

-Sera has arrived lol

-Huh?? Why are you here…

-Princess, you’ve been released ㅠㅠ

…But the viewers seemed to have already seen everything.

Did these people actually watch it live?

Seriously, why would anyone bother to watch it live?

The drama was entertaining, but still.

“Oh dear, what are they saying right from the start of the broadcast?”

-Are you streaming from jail??

-Princess Sera, please release her…!

-But is Sera not coming out anymore??

“Why are you asking me? What are you talking about jail?”

-????

-She just left lol

-She was crying well

-Can’t Sera stream instead of Miro??

“Come on… don’t confuse me with a character from a drama.”

-Okay haha

-It’s strange… the voice is similar…

I thought things were a bit quiet lately.

Now, it seems like they’ve really caught on, and the chat is going wild.

I guess this will go on all day?

I should have just watched the drama instead of broadcasting; the atmosphere has already formed like this.

“Alright, let’s play a game.”

-Yes lol

-What game will Princess Sera play??

-Please go to the fan café

“The fan café… I will go later.”

The fan café now?

I bet there will be quite a mess of posts there.

If too many related contents flood it, the manager of The Six’s café will probably take care of it, so it’s best not to check it out for now.

-Lol

-Now it’s just become Princess Sera’s fan café

Sera’s fan café has changed into that?

Oh, that’s terrible; it must’ve undergone some serious terraforming.

“Please don’t do that in other member categories.”

-Okay, okay

-You get immediately punished if you post there

…That’s probably true.

What fan café in the world would allow people to post pictures of the virtual YouTuber’s red pill?

Even in The Six’s fan café, the category just for Miro is kind of strange.

If a humorous post shows up, there’s usually a red pill alongside it, making it similar to any internet community.

Moreover, now the number of users has become so high compared to other fandoms that the manager mentioned possibly needing to separate sections.

“Today’s game is this.”

Anyway, I’ll think about the fan café later.

Today, I started the game I had prepared in advance.

-Ooh lol

-What is this??

-Haha lol

-Oh, this is

As soon as I turned on the game, I prepared a famous one, one that viewers would all recognize.

It was none other than the zombie game that has been popular among streamers from the past.

With simple graphics but a unique unfriendliness and difficult difficulty, it’s a game with its strengths.

Well, if you put it negatively, it’s unkind, but positively, it means the game lets users do whatever they want.

It’s exactly the type of game I like, so I brought it along.

-Are you going to play alone??

-Wow, I see the host playing a major game

“This game is not that mainstream, is it?”

I heard that other members had played it several times and even collaborated, so I was thinking of getting familiar with it and trying it together.

For now, I started with the tutorial.

The tutorial began in earnest with its gloomy background music, providing guidance.

Inside a dark house, I learned about keys and found a weapon.

And then, as zombies appeared, I killed them as instructed in the tutorial.

“Um… so this is how it works.”

-Haha lol

-Not bad

-You have talent

“I’m still in the tutorial, you know?”

-Surprisingly, there are people who mess that up lol

-Live longer

“Okay, okay, I will try again.”

Since the tutorial offered a shotgun and told me to try living longer, I thought I’d give it a shot.

Just as I stepped outside, moving crouched like I learned in the tutorial.

[Creator Miro, thank you for your donation of 1,000 Won!]

If I survive for more than 10 minutes from now, I’ll get a million won.

“Really?”

A mission just came in from the unofficial president, who had been absent lately.

-Haha lol

-Haha lol

-What a ridiculous mission

-It’s doable lol

But the reactions were mixed.

What does this mean? Is it really that hard?

“You must give me that.”

In reality, I’m not someone who’s particularly desperate for a million won…

But there’s a dopamine rush that comes with the amount, right?

To succeed in the mission, I started to move even more cautiously, crouching down.

After a while…

“One just appeared.”

A zombie appeared ahead.

As I dashed over to hit its head and knock it down…

Ugh…

Ughhh…

More zombies sprang up from the trees.

I decided I wasn’t skilled enough to take on multiple zombies alone, so I tried to run away, but…

Ugh…

Ughhh…

The number of zombies kept increasing.

“What, is there honey all over this place?”

-Lol

-Princess Sera is about to get caught again ㅠㅠ

“Waaaaah! Manager Kim!! Nam Kyungmin!!”

“Ugh.”

In the midst of this, I remembered the nickname of a viewer who was teasing me about the drama and decided to enter a small warehouse in front of me.

“If I hide here, will they just leave?”

-Yep lol

-Hold your breath

“You have to sit tight.”

“Oh, thank you.”

And so I hid and sat quietly in the warehouse, following the viewers’ advice.

A little while later…

Bang, bang.

Bang, bang.

I heard knocking on the door again.

“What? They said they were leaving.”

-Did you really believe that?? lol

-That’s strange lol

-How can they leave when there’s honey on the ground?

-They must be smelling their way here

“Ugh.”

So they weren’t leaving, huh?

Then I had no choice.

I firmly gripped the rifle I had been carrying on my back and readied myself.

“Come at me, I’ll make sure every one of you gets a hole in your windpipe.”

-Haha lol

-What a line

-It’s different from your diction because you’re an actor

Thinking about it, are zombies a big deal?

I am General Miro.

Once, I was a general who led a million troops and rewrote the myth of the Red Cliffs.

So, deciding to take down whatever comes at me waited for a moment.

Bang, crunch.

The warehouse door couldn’t withstand the zombies’ force and broke.

Ugh…

Ughhh…

As I saw the zombies flooding in, I aimed and pulled the trigger.

Bang!!!

But…

“What, not even one died?”

Even after firing my gun, the zombies continued to push in without a scratch.

-You have to aim for a long time to hit lol

-The aiming reticle must be green

-You miss easily in the beginning

“Ugh, I’m bitten.”

And after that, a predictable ending awaited.

I was bitten by the endlessly storming zombies and was dead just like that.

[Creator Miro, thank you for your donation of 1,000 Won!]

Mission failed lol that’s unfortunate

And then, a follow-up of the president’s tea bagging.

It seemed they already knew.

“Ugh, now I’ll try the actual game.”

It’s a lie if I say I’m not disappointed, but… it’s a game I can’t complete anyway, so what can I do?

-Let’s go

-Let’s do this

-I think you might do well

And as I started the game.

A screen for job and traits popped up.

I accepted that part, but the outstanding difference from other games was that there was a separate section for negative traits.

“What’s this?”

-If you take bad traits, you get score points that allow you to earn good traits

-If you’re a beginner, go for a firefighter xx

-Put in whatever bad traits you want

Ah, I see.

I didn’t know this was here since when I watched the other members’ streams, they were all already in the game.

“Um…”

I put in what the viewers recommended and started the game.

The very first location you begin in was the interior of a family home.

I first started looting the food in the kitchen.

“Wow, there are a lot of canned goods here.”

-Haha lol

-It’s too heavy, so don’t take too much

-First, let’s go to the police station xxx

“Police station? Wait a bit, I need to grab some food first.”

They made it so that you can carry plenty when you select your traits, so I happily stocked up on cans and began exploring the house in earnest.

I picked up books on the first floor, stashed band-aids from the bathroom into my pocket, and grabbed a kitchen knife from the counter.

Having thoroughly cleaned out the first floor, I felt quite ready.

-It’s pointless to check here

-Let’s go to the fire station xxx

-We need some weapons

“Oh, please be patient.”

It seems like the viewers wanted me to head to a good looting spot quickly, but I resolutely continued my slow looting of the house.

Normally, when playing these types of games alone, it’s best to take your time.

If you’re rushed by time and hurry, you won’t enjoy the game.

Besides, isn’t survival the goal?

If I rushed to the police station or fire station now, I’d be in trouble if I run into a bunch of zombies.

So I slowly finished looting the first floor and headed to the second.

“American homes are nice. They even have a second floor.”

-Really…

-You have a yard at your house too, don’t you?

-That place has wide land

“Oh, right? I saw somewhere that there are a lot of wealthy landowners in America….”

I casually chatted with the viewers while exploring the second floor.

I rummaged through the master bedroom and searched the bathroom.

By the time my pockets were stuffed to the brim, I thoughtlessly entered the last remaining room.

And then…

Bang!!

Gwaaaah!!

“Aaah!”

Suddenly, a large sound accompanied by a zombie appeared.

I panicked for a moment, flailing, and spammed the space bar, barely knocking it down and grabbing it.

What, what just happened?

I was really surprised.

This game actually has some horror elements…?

It didn’t seem scary when I watched the broadcast.

But when a zombie jumps out while opening a door, combined with that ear-piercing sound, my heart races.

-Aaaah hahaha

-Haha lol

-Cute when surprised hahaha

“Ah, no, I just got a bit flustered.”

B-but, once I adapt, it’ll be fine.

For a moment, I remembered why I hadn’t played horror games for the past three years, but I quickly pushed that thought away.

Well, other members have done well, haven’t they?

I’m just shocked because I’m doing it alone.

I continued the game, thinking it would get better once I got used to it.
