After visiting the studio and checking out the filming location, time passed quickly.

In that interval, I received detailed scripts and met the actors during the script reading. I revisited the set, shot some variety shows and commercials, and so on.

As Kim Soo-hyun, I had been keeping quite a busy schedule.

Of course…

“What should we do today?”

As the Vtuber Miro, I was also passionate about my broadcast activities.

“Oh, nothing to do.”

– Seriously?

– Then why are you streaming???

“I can’t just not go live.”

– That’s true…

– Thanks for streaming, you brat…

– Aren’t we playing that war game today?

“Well, we’ve played it a lot now…”

Be it games, food, or activities, if you do anything too much, you get tired of it.

In that sense, even the medieval war game, which had been so popular lately, seemed to have outlived its usefulness.

– Already bored?

– No, I’ve been playing Civilization for three years now.

– What other games are there?

“Well, I guess I’ll have to look for something.”

Actually, I’ve kind of… played a lot of Romance of the Three Kingdoms recently too. It feels like the games I’ve played a lot have reached the end of their lifespan.

“Time really flies.”

I leaned back against the chair, looking at the monitor. The desktop was cluttered with a ton of game icons.

They all were traces of games I had played at least once.

…Usually, I abandoned them within a day, though.

– So, what do I do now??

– How about we visit a café?

– Aren’t you playing Minecraft?

“Oh, Minecraft?”

– Yeah, yeah.

– Everyone’s playing it these days.

– Anna was thinking about inviting you.

“Hmm…”

Now that I thought about it, I had heard the Minecraft server had started. It feels like just yesterday that I got a message from the manager, but it started faster than I expected.

“Well, I’ll think about it.”

– Please do it.

– It looks fun.

– There’s hunting there, too.

“Oh, there’s hunting?”

Hunting content in Minecraft? I really never imagined that.

It probably just means pigs, cows, or maybe horses.

– You shouldn’t just think of Minecraft.

– There are varied jobs.

– There are dungeons and hidden jobs, so there’s plenty to do.

“Oh…”

Dungeons and hidden jobs? That sounds intriguing.

So there must be fighting content as well.

“Is there a Moon Blade there?”

– ??

– ?

– It must be there, right?

– This person is really funny.

– If you’re going to play that, just play Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

“Ahaha, just kidding.”

…What a pity that there isn’t one.

Aren’t there supposed to be a variety of weapons?

I can’t believe they didn’t implement that while having dungeons and hunting.

My interest waned a bit.

“Let’s just explore some cafés.”

It had been a long time since I stepped into a café, or rather, quite a while.

Just browsing all the cafés would probably take all day.

– Let’s go.

– Sounds good.

– How long has it been since you went? Haha.

Since it had been a while since I’d last visited the fan café, I noticed that the viewers seemed to like it.

Surprisingly, they actually enjoy this stuff.

So, I entered the fan café and went into the Miro bulletin board.

[Miro, so what’s the new project?]

[Variety Miro memes brought to you.]

[Can Miro win an award by year-end?]

“…Let’s check the popular posts.”

I briefly glanced at the dizzying latest posts before switching over to the popular ones.

– Is this a community or a fan café?

– Seriously, aren’t they managing it here? Haha.

– Aren’t those guys all blocked?

Such sights were now familiar.

It’s been ages since it changed into Kim Soo-hyun’s fan café.

Honestly, I don’t know anymore.

Last time, the manager even asked if we should take a hard stance and block everyone, but I just said it was fine.

Even if they crack down now, all it would do is provoke more backlash.

At this point, it wouldn’t even affect Miro negatively.

Well, officially, we shouldn’t recognize it, but…

Anyway, I just took a look at the popular posts after a long time.

“The popular posts are still the same.”

– Seriously Haha.

– Nothing has changed.

If general posts are about actor Kim Soo-hyun, popular posts mainly consist of funny posts or broadcast highlights.

…Thinking about it, since I haven’t been here, is it inevitable that it turned out this way?

Since the other members often visit, if more posts are tailored to be comfortable for broadcasters, they wouldn’t really attract me.

Although this is Miro’s fan café, since I haven’t been around, it’s just turned into a community where users hang out together.

Well, there are a lot of highlights from other members posted, so it’s not like I have nothing to watch.

With the number of people, they surely post videos daily.

“Hey… everyone seems to be playing Minecraft?”

Most of the videos were related to Minecraft.

From the initial members to the motivations they invited to meet other broadcasters on the server and engage in back-and-forth banter.

– Yeah, yeah.

– It’s seriously fun these days.

– Everyone knows when it comes to the Celestial Realm. Haha.

I was worried since we’ve been keeping it low-key for so long, but it seems they’re doing well.

Maybe it’s because of their reputation? It truly seems like they’re treating everyone well.

“It’s a relief to see everyone enjoying themselves.”

– You should play too, dammit.

– Anna said she’ll invite you.

– Let’s go!

“Ugh, I won’t play.”

I really don’t have the time for that.

And even if I get into Minecraft, isn’t it just Minecraft?

I barely logged into the Celestial Realm server; there’s no way I’m wasting money on an invite from Anna.

– And then you’ll just play later anyway.

– Don’t join late, just play while everyone is early.

– So, what are we doing today?

“Well, we can just look around the café.”

With this many posts, I don’t have to worry about what to do today.

I’ve only seen the popular posts that went up today.

How could this café be so active even without its owner around?

Scrolling quickly, I skimmed through the popular posts.

[Real-time Anna death Haha.]

[Gan farm, what is it??]

[Maho summoning failure Haha.]

Hmm… it’s all Minecraft?

Watching each video, they all look like they’re having a blast.

– You should join us Haha.

– Quit acting tough and just play.

– So, are we heading to the server tomorrow?

“I won’t play! I really won’t.”

I need to nail this down before the viewers get their hopes up.

“Listen up, I’m absolutely not playing Minecraft. Don’t expect anything.”

I’m starting filming this week, what do I need with Minecraft?

I am both Vtuber Miro and actor Kim Soo-hyun.

So, if I’ve signed a contract, I should focus on filming to some degree.

Besides, what’s the big deal about Minecraft anyway?

Anyway, I made it clear.

– Ah…

– Damn…

– At least play a little.

Even the viewers seemed to be giving up as I spoke so stubbornly.

It’s been so long that whenever I bring up games like this, it’s clear they’ve witnessed me being as resolute as this.

“Alright, let me explore the café more.”

And so, that day ended with me strolling around the café and chatting a bit.

Then a few days later…

– ???

– ?

– What is it?

“Ah, it’s just… Anna said she’d use her invite.”

– Hahahaha.

– What the heck?

– Weren’t you adamant about not playing?

“Well, that’s how it turned out…”

While moving around a Minecraft character for the first time in a while, I said that.

I mean, Anna said I don’t have to play much.

Now she quickly gathers up invites, so I just hopped in to take a little look.

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

??: I absolutely won’t play Minecraft.

– Hahaha.

– Come on.

– You’re not sticking to your word??

– Damn, if that’s how it works, play a horror game for crying out loud.

“Hey, why is a horror game even coming up? More importantly, what should I start with?”

– Call the operator.

– The operator will guide you through the tutorial.

“Oh, really?”

Calling the operator, huh?

Since I just declared I wouldn’t play Minecraft, I feel a bit like I’m backtracking…

“By the way, who is the operator?”

– The staff from The Six will help you.

– Be nice to the operator.

“Ah, The Six staff, right?”

[Yes?]

“Have we met before?”

[Yes?]

“I thought you were an HQ staff member?”

[Um… I have met you before, Miro.]

“Ah, I knew it!”

– Miro, please…

– Don’t make it awkward.

– This guy is already chatting with the operator. Haha.

– Seriously, The Six connections.

“This isn’t that big of a deal. But by the way, is there a Moon Blade here?”

Do they really not know how to stir things up?

Let’s see how this goes.

– ???

– What the heck?

– This guy’s insane. Haha.

– I’m so embarrassed right now.

– Ugh. Haha.

[Yes, um, the Moon Blade?]

“If it’s not there, please add it as a weapon,”

Thinking back, I know there’s a gun.

Isn’t there a Moon Blade missing, too?

[Uh, it might be a hidden job…]

“What? Is it there?”

– ???

– Why did you suddenly become the expert??

– Wait, was it actually there??

[It’s not confirmed yet, Miro, just keep it in mind.]

“Oh, I understand. Did you all hear that, viewers?”

– Yes ^^

– But seriously, there’s a Moon Blade? Haha.

– The Six folks are something else. Haha.

Honestly, I didn’t expect it, but here it is.

More importantly, a hidden job…

I remember seeing the chat about it before.

There are various jobs within this server, and there’s a hidden job only one person can earn per server.

“For now, please tell me what I need to do.”

Let’s just think about the hidden job later.

First, I need to get some info about using this server from the The Six staff.

[To explain about the server…]

“Oh, I see how it works.”

Listening to it, I felt it was truly a streamer-specialized server.

They control the number of players accordingly and, moreover, if a streamer gets donations, it directly affects the server.

For example, if you donate a lot of money, you might die or summon random monsters, and things like that.

Honestly, as I’m listening, it does sound fun.

[That wraps up the explanation. Feel free to enjoy yourselves.]

“Got it.”

After hearing the whole explanation, I was left alone in the town center of this server.

“Um… what should I do first?”

– First, let’s start mining.

– Let’s go mine for diamonds!

– In the beginning, you need to go to the wild to make money.

“Oh, I see.”

So I really need to start with mining, the basics of Minecraft.

But before heading to the wild, I took a moment to look around the town.

“There’s a lot of people.”

Is it because it’s peak evening hours?

Voices echoed from everywhere.

Chatter, ramblings, and fighting sounds came through.

Since it’s a streamer server, the sounds are rich.

I thought I understood why viewers liked it as I wandered around the town when a familiar building caught my eye.

“Ah… this is.”

A well-decorated countryside cabin that looked very homey.

Next to it was even a windmill.

– It’s Anna’s house!

– Wow, it’s well made.

– Shall we loot it?

– Let’s make some starter funds here.

“Should I go in?”

Given that this was Anna’s house, which I had often seen in highlights, I approached the door with a warm feeling.

But…

“Uh.”

The door is locked with a password.

“What the heck….”

– Hahaha.

– Of course, security should be strict. Haha.

– Just go back. Haha.

“Oh, come on, how cold….”

When I was on the Celestial Realm server, there wasn’t anything like this number security.

I felt really let down.

“What could the number be?”

I briefly looked at the number pad on screen and typed in the first number that came to my mind.

My birthday… was not the answer.

Anna’s birthday? Nope.

Then… um, what about the Celestial Realm debut date?

*Beep-beep.*

“Whoa, it opened.”

– ????

– ?

– How did you guess that? Haha.

Using the Celestial Realm debut date as a password… it seems fitting for Anna.

So generous, she is.

“Wow, the inside is well decorated too.”

– Seriously…

– It’s well arranged.

– Anna works hard. Haha.

Inside the building was a well-decorated interior with a few chests to boot.

*Click.*

I rushed over to open the first chest.

“Whoa…”

Inside the chest were really varied items.

From the familiar iron and diamonds, basic items of Minecraft, to new items like fish or what looked like a gun, which seems to be added to this server.

I immediately stuffed whatever was visible into my inventory.

– ?????

– You brat! Haha.

– This dude is hilarious. Haha.

– Aren’t those the gifts for you from your inviter?

“On the Celestial Realm, everything is shared.”

Is it a bit greedy to take the expensive-looking stuff?

But I still have to gear up with a diamond set…

So, right there, I began the redistribution of wealth in Anna’s house.
