C11 "VERZ" ( Part 1 )

Although Nathalia's livestream ended, the discussion about her still continued on.

[[ Vtuber Discussion Board Discord Server ]]

[ I think a new wave will be coming soon from VShoujo and Hololive ]

[ Those companies are strong but don't you know the latest story? ]

[ What is it? Did something happen? ]

[ The worldwide famous singer Vtuber, Yukihime, face revealed earlier ]

[ What?! ]

[ No way! Let me check Twitter ]

[ She did reveal her face and she's a real cutie. We were wrong about her being a fat otaku ]

[ With a voice like that, why couldn't she be a handsome man or a beautiful girl. Don't assume everyone looks like you. ]

[ . . . ]

While people were discussing about Nathalia's face reveal, clips about their paranormal investigation were released on YouTube. Tabloids also jumped on and reported the news about the famous anonymous world class singer/songwriter.

[ || Not A Man, But A Girl! The Face Behind The Voice! || ]

[ || Singer Yukihime Almost Died In An Abandoned Hospital || ]

Nathalia's popularity grew and she catched the attention of many people. Her fans speculated for years about who were singing the songs they were listening to. They all assumed that Yukihime has an elite band behind her and that she was only one of the singers. Never did they expect that she alone sung those world famous songs.

For a while, Nathalia became more recognized and famous as her songs' fans learned about her identity. They admired her for being so talented despite her young age. But along with popularity, came doubts.

Some people accused her of plagiarism and for hiring ghost writers behind the scenes. They accused her of faking her voice and using a voice changer. This resulted in a heated debate between her fans and the haters on Twitter and other media platforms.

~ ". . ." ~

Across the sea, on the deck of an exquisite million dollar yacht. A young man with golden blonde hair grinned as he read the newspaper.

"Hahahaha! As I thought, it is indeed you! You did not let down my expectations after all these years." The young man roared in laughter as his eyes gleamed with joy.

He then looked to the side and said to his trusted aide, "Francois! Go prepare the paperwork and my luggage, we're going to sail to south in a few days! I can't wait to see my sister."

Francois curtly bowed and followed his orders.

The young man then looked beyond the horizon, past the waving ocean waters and muttered, "I hope you still recognize me, sister."

~ ". . ." ~

"I didn't expect that it was a girl that sang that famous rap, || Paid My Dues ||. Her voice acting is inhumane, how can she rap while maintaining a man's voice?" A bespectacled young man said in amazement as he read the latest article of a famous tabloid.

"What do you think? Isn't it amazing?" He looked at the young man beside him who was tinkering with a small lithium battery that's used on phones.

The young man didn't even lift his head and said, "I don't have time for that. I'm curious as to how to optimize this lithium sulfur battery, even if it's redundant. Although I'm not capable conducting experiments about the lithium air battery thesis that was released last month, I can at least occupy myself by trying to improve this one even if by only 0.01 percent."

The bespectacled young man scratched his head and awkwardly laughed, "I don't understand, Senku-san."

"Why the hell am I grounded? I didn't do anything worth being grounded for!"

Hearing Nathalia complaining, Alexa said to her, "We did go to an abandoned hospital without your mom's permission and we did almost die? Anyway I think that's enough for you to be grounded."

"Why aren't you grounded then?!" Nathalia asked with a betrayed look on her face.

"That's because our parents don't go to internet much. They're boomers, they don't know about what happened last night." Alec replied.

It is currently noon right now and they're in the garage in Nathalia's house. No one uses this place so it was basically their secret base... literally.

It has been a day since they came back from the abandoned hospital where they shot their first livestream. They arrived home by midnight and after she arrived, she saw her mother standing in front of the door with her phone on her hand.

After that, she experienced her mother's wrath for the first time and didn't get a wink of sleep until it was already night again. She was also grounded for a month. Shucks.

Nathalia gritted her teeth and muttered under her breath, "Lucky bastards. Just wait, I will tell your mom about what happened as soon as I see her."

Alexa looked at her and knew that she was cursing them under her breath. She then sighed and gave her an advice, "If you're so bored, why don't we play god again?"

"It's so boring! After some time, I grew bored of playing god. Is there anything we can do without going out?" She lazily slid down the chair in boredom.

Looking at her sloppy and lazy actions, Alec jokingly said, "Why don't you wreak havock in the internet for a bit? Use your alter persona to sabotage the black hats at the dark web. I saw on the breaking news earlier that about 13 official websites and 8 online banks have been breached by a group of foreign hackers."

"That's it!" Nathalia sprung up with excitement and had an inspiration after what Alec said.

Alec looked at her in disbelief and asked, "You'll really do it?"

"Yeah! But not in the dark web, that'd be too boring." Nathalia then ran inside and went upstairs to her room.

Alexa glared at Alec and reprimanded him, "Why did you say that?! Didn't you see what happened the last time she dabbled in hacking? She made South Korea lose billions of dollars by infecting their electronics with a fucking VIRUS!"

"But... But I didn't think she'll really consider it! You know that she haven't done anything in the past three years and... and there's no one who offended her this time." Alec stuttered as he tried to explain to his fuming sister.

"Argh! Let's go!" Alexa was angry but she had nothing to vent her anger at so she just dashes out of the garage and went to Nathalia's room, followed by her brother right behind her.

When they arrived in her room, they saw Nathalia typing furiously at her keyboard and lines of codes being written at an astonishing speed on the monitor.

Alexa stood behind Nathalia and she tried to persuade her, "You won't create another virus, right? I think no one offended you in some way so why are you doing this again?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Nathalia looked at her in confusion.

"Weren't you creating another virus now?" Alexa asked.

Nathalia laughed and wiped her eyes before she continued, "I'm not a maniac. I'm not creating a virus or something like that, this is much better than that."

"Then what are you making then?" Alec looked at the lines of codes being written faster than he could read them.

"I'm making a program that can help me bypass security systems and the firewall easily. You won't understand the specific stuff but that's the gist of it." Nathalia explained as she continued making the program.

"You don't need that at all don't you, you even bypassed a major country's security system. You weren't even caught and they looked for you for years but didn't even find a single trace." Alexa said as she remembered the South Korean government's suffering years ago.

Nathalia didn't answer her question and continued making the program. She didn't tell them at all, but back then she was almost caught if she wasn't fast enough to react and quickly randomize her IP address. So right now she's making sure to be prepared enough. She won't make them see a single trace of her.

Typing the last line of code, Nathalia smirked as she looked at her work in satisfaction, "Time to have some fun."
