Chapter 11 - Broadcaster Han Se-ah 01
After taking Han Se-ah, who was looking at me with blank eyes, to a restaurant with delicious stew, I returned to my own lodging.
Although I couldn't enter the chat window because Han Se-ah turned off the broadcast and logged out, I could feel the broadcasting station bulletin board was ecstatic about my display.
― LOL, you jerk ㅋㅋ
―Today's Chronicle's best scene.GIF
―I was reincarnated as a gobliiiiiiiii
― Show sympathy to Goblin-nim who gave us a big laugh
―6★ Is so damn strong
I came up with the Goblin Pitching Power Show on the fly, inspired by a quick chat where someone mentioned "Throw Han Se-ah to the exit.". As I thought about it, I could already hear people laughing at the sound of the goblin's cry as it flew away, almost like a comedic Doppler effect. It was a silly idea, but it seemed to have produced the desired results.
Instead of lying down bored and drinking beer, it's such a fun thing to be able to read internet bulletin boards where viewers are writing passionately.
– Condolences to Goblin who gave us a big laugh.

If there's a good goblin, there's only a flying goblin.
┗Isn't that goblin dead?
┗If it's like that, it's a dead goblin.
┗It flew about 100m, so if it's alive, it's not a goblin.
Even though the goblin was small, about the size of a young child, throwing a something that weighed around 30kg out of sight had quite an impact. As a result, a variety of meme's were made that induced recommendations to Han Se-ah's bulletin board.
As I laughed heartily while looking at the various posts, I realized that this alternate world with virtual reality capsules had a similar sentiment to the world I lived in ten years ago. While laying in bed and looking through the message board, I found myself lost in the stories about me, and before I knew it, time flew by and it was already night.
"Tomorrow… Han Se-ah needs to learn basic magic and we also need to find party members."
The quest was updated only after we came out of the tower with the 10 mana stones. There seemed to be some standard to the quests, such as getting a handshake when forming a party, and getting out of the tower safely after acquiring the stones.
It's probably based on Han Se-ah's game system, right?
[Teach Han Se-ah basic magic 0/5]
It might be difficult to learn basic magic in just one day, but Han Se-ah should be able to learn everything quickly. There are naturally more than five types of basic magic, but she will probably choose the ones she likes best. Since she has a mini-map and an inventory, there is also a good chance that she can learn it quickly through some kind of skill window.
As for finding party members, she can do it steadily after learning magic. People don't just pop out of a bar like a gacha game, so it takes surprisingly long to find suitable novice adventurers. I don't really need to search for them myself though, I can just ask Ellis if she knows any promising novice adventurers.
Oh, come to think of it, I also have to keep my promise to Ellis to give her a sweet dessert. I'll go to the cafe that recently opened when I buy the basic magic book for Han Se-ah.
I want to browse the bulletin board more and enjoy the scent of modern times after 10 years, but the rate of posts has slowed down, probably because the broadcast has ended. More importantly, even though I have a superhuman body that can stay up all night, I still need to maintain my condition.
After clearing away the hologram bulletin board, I leaned my head against the bed and closed my eyes, looking forward to tomorrow morning.
I wonder what rewards this quest will bring?

Han Se-ah couldn't believe the stroke of luck that had come her way.
'Is there such a thing as a 6★?'
As an internet broadcaster who streamed both exercise and gaming, she enjoyed a variety of mobile games in addition to RPGs and FPS games played for her broadcasts. That's why she could make a rough prediction about Heroes Chronicle.
She would have to form a party and climb to the top of the tower, and the results would be proportional to the physical effort she put in. When it came to obtaining equipment and recruiting colleagues, luck would also be a big factor. How many people had their hearts pounding in excitement when BB Games announced that they would hand over their game to the top-ranked player of Heroes Chronicle?
Even so, among her numerous predictions, there was no thoughts on getting a 6★.
In the various gacha games that Han Se-ah enjoyed playing, there were mostly 3-star and 4-star as the highest SSR rating, and even in games where 5-stars existed, 6-stars were the rating of a max-level character that could be reached through evolution and awakening, not the initial rating when pulled.
― How is it possible for a character's starting rating to be 6★
―Except for the fact that Han Se-ah pulled a male character, it's perfect, right?
―Will Han Se-ah devour BB Games?
―What a lucky bastard, some are 3-stars and some are 6-stars, damn it.
Han Se-ah got out of the capsule and lay down on her cozy bed, searching her name on the internet with her smartphone. She knew that ego searching could be poisonous for broadcasters, but she couldn't help it today. Even if she succeeded only in the gacha pickup, she wanted to enjoy getting the world's No. 1 character in the world's first virtual reality game.
At this moment, the insults and sexual harassment that were usually hidden behind anonymity was replaced with words of congratulations.
―Has the game balance been destroyed?

To make it easier to compare, I deliberately selected and filmed only the tankers among the NPCs that broadcasters met. If you read the stat screens carefully, the difference in health between 3-star and 4-star is about 20%. But the difference in health between 4-star and 6-star is double. Damn, haha.
┗Is this the best in the world?
┗Is it the only one in the world, not just Korea?
┗If someone overseas pulled a 6-star, it would already be in the news.
┗Wow, comparing it like that is making my head spin…
There have been many malicious comments saying that she seduces viewers with exposure when she does exercise broadcasts, or that she only relies on her feminine charm instead of her gaming skills when she streams games. However, most of those personal attacks disappeared when she started playing Heroes Chronicle.
This is because people's attention had been focused on the NPC.
Since it's a game that launched globally without a closed beta, there isn't a lot of information available. However, thanks to fellow streamers and gamers who are running to their deaths, information is accumulating. When you enter a city, the first NPC you encounter is 3★ or higher. After that, the people you meet while playing the game are usually novice adventurers ranging from 1★ to 3★.
On the other hand, Roland, a senior adventurer who kindly talks to Han Se-ah and leads her, is an impressive 6★.
He is tall, broad-shouldered, and handsome to the point where it seems like BB Games put all their effort into modeling his appearance. Frankly speaking, Han Se-ah thought that if he didn't have the title "Paladin," he would have been considered a prince from a fantasy world visiting the adventurer city.
―The level of NPC appearances in games these days…
―The reason why we should go to this new fantasy world.JPG
―Who is this person? Is he an idol?
Already, on some internet humor sites, screenshots of her broadcasts were circulating. Some people were misunderstanding, thinking that it wasn't an RPG but a dating sim, asking for someone to create a virtual boyfriend using that modeling, or even thinking that the NPC in a virtual reality game was an aspiring idol.
'He's really handsome….'
As someone who also does sports broadcasts, Han Se-ah had confidence in her well-maintained appearance and well-toned body, but looking at the circulating pictures made her confidence quickly fade away.
Roland, a senior adventurer, and Ellis, an adventurer guild receptionist, are both handsome and beautiful with blonde hair. They seemed unrealistic compared to the ordinary citizens walking the streets.
'Tomorrow, I'll go to the magic tower to learn some spells, and since recruiting teammates takes time, I'll put up a recruitment notice and maybe go up to the 5th floor' she planned.
Despite making plans, Han Se-ah couldn't easily fall asleep due to the experiences she had in the game. From the scenery of the fantasy world she admired while riding a carriage at the beginning of the game, to the sight of a city with a majestic tower to fighting goblins, these were exciting events that could excite any fantasy maniac.
In particular, the calm steps she took while surrounded by goblins and collapsing the encirclement, and then sequentially defeating them, kept her awake for a different reason. Most of the posts about her, not Roland and Ellis, praised her combat sense.
In reality, the comments were to undermine other broadcasters who contrasted with her, but it was instinctual for the corners of her mouth to twitch when she was praised.
"Really, what if I get first place like this?"
If she became the young CEO of BB Games, she could make a fortune selling expensive virtual reality capsules to people all over the world. Han Se-ah imagined a life of luxury where she could buy her parents a house each and fill her bags with luxury goods, and live a life playing games.
With such a happy imagination, Han Se-ah forced herself to close her eyes to fall asleep even a little earlier.
