It took me quite a while to accept the situation.
That would be the case.
I encountered a paranormal phenomenon that tore people apart while watching a YouTuber’s broadcast.
I also became a woman out of nowhere after being swallowed by black smoke.
It was a story that was far from common sense.
… Well, since [paranormal phenomena] and [items] first appeared, common sense no longer applies in this world.
So I accepted it.
Whatever.
I’m still alive.
Maybe I’m the first.
The first human to encounter a paranormal phenomenon in a corner of a room.
The first human to survive a paranormal phenomenon.
Lastly.
The first human to have their gender changed due to a paranormal phenomenon.
I had to look in the mirror for a long time.
My appearance was unrealistic.
It wasn’t an idiom that said, ‘Unrealistically pretty!’, but literally unrealistic.
The fact that my hair was pink in the first place was proof that I was far from reality.
It didn’t even look like I had dyed it. Natural pink, this one.
Her skin was strangely soft enough to be addictive, and the lump of fat on her chest was annoying.
Strangely enough,
I didn’t feel that awkward about the way I looked in the mirror right now.
“Haa…”
Unlike someone who had only thought about how to survive until just a moment ago, I sighed as if the ground was falling off.
After that, I checked my body condition for about 30 minutes.
…It’s not that I did anything strange.
My body changed overnight.
Checking my body condition was not optional, it was essential.
Fortunately, my body was perfectly fine.
Aside from the feeling of heaviness in my chest, I dare say I was in peak condition.
“…Who are you, you?”
A pleasant, sweet voice flowed out of my mouth.
At this point, I had no choice but to admit it.
Speaking of my changed appearance.
It was surprisingly similar to the ideal virtual YouTuber I had imagined. ‘If a YouTuber with this kind of appearance debuted, I would give my soul to them!’
I often imagined that.
My current appearance is exactly that YouTuber in my imagination.
Why did this happen to me?
What can I say about the cause? It must be that black smoke.
That black smoke.
Was it a paranormal phenomenon, or an item?
I don’t know.
The moment I reached out to the black smoke, the black smoke disappeared from this world without a trace.
No one knows the truth.
It wasn’t just that my gender became female.
My clothes changed,
and the furniture in my house became strangely feminine.
Even my ID card changed.
Name, Lee Ji-ah.
Age, twenty-four.
My name is the same.
My age is the same.
My address is the same.
The only things that changed were my gender and ID photo.
I decided not to report it to the Paranormal Phenomenon Isolation Office.
The fact that my ID card was completely changed means that the fact that I was a man was erased from history.
If I report it for nothing, I’ll be treated like a crazy person…
no, a crazy bitch.
Nothing came to a clear conclusion.
I banged my chest with my fist in frustration.
And then I immediately got a headache.
・Oh, it’s so soft for no reason.
It’s a high-performance natural cushion, right?
I like to sleep face down, so I’m going to have a hard time sleeping from now on.
[That’s all for today’s broadcast. Thank you for watching, kids!]
No!
I missed all of Ayase’s broadcast today because of that damn black smoke……!
Ah, it’s annoying!
What the hell was that black smoke?
I got angry for no reason and banged my computer desk!
It was what people commonly call a shotgun.
That’s when.
Pavabavabavabak!
“Hey, hey hey hey?”
I thought there wouldn’t be anything more surprising, but I was wrong. In front of my eyes, tens of thousands of characters began to form into a hologram.
Soon, I.
was able to read the hologram.

This is Lee Jia’s computer desk. - Details
Lee Jia found this desk at the recycling center near her house. This shows her thriftiness.
What’s this?
This is…
It’s a Wiki.
Did I awaken as a “chosen one”?
Or maybe it’s a special ability I got because of that black smoke, which could be an anomaly or item?
I don’t know.
This world is full of incomprehensible things,
and this ridiculous ability that I suddenly acquired is just as confusing.
Using the ability wasn’t difficult.
At first, I thought the ability activated when I “shotgun” the desk, so I kept slamming it.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
“Room 302, you brat! Let me sleep!”
The guy downstairs yelled at me.
Turns out, slamming the desk wasn’t the trigger.
I just had to look at an object and imagine it as a wiki, and the ability activated on its own.
I spent hours exploring this ability, skipping meals.
If I had to define it in one sentence,
it’s an emotional ability that lets me check information about objects or people.
What was surprising was that I didn’t even need to physically touch the object.
I could check the information of people in photos online.
Names, ages, addresses, personalities… all kinds of detailed info appeared.
I had to stop reading because it felt like too much information.
I’m not sure what to do with this ability.
Should I use it to dig up information about the red pill from Ayase?
Heh.
Alright.
As a real fan, I have to protect the red pill.
“…?”
Oh.
Wait a minute.
Now that I’m thinking about it…
Could I use this ability on myself?
Without hesitation,
I used the ability on myself.

- Trivia
Huh.
Why is this actually happening?
Even the title has “(VTuber)” written next to it.
What the hell?
I’m not a VTuber.
I’m just a regular viewer who likes watching VTuber streams.
I was confused, but I kept reading the wiki to figure out what was going on with my body.
[Name: Lee Jia]
[Age: 24]
[Race: A devout follower of Bicheon, the Bright Star]
[Gender: Female] - Overview
[Lee Jia is a member of the Omnia Archive and a devout follower of Bicheon, the Bright Star.]
[As a member of the Archive and a full-fledged librarian, she has an unending duty to explore knowledge.]
[How she chooses to use her knowledge is up to her.]
“…Is this a joke?”
It was chaos right from the overview.
This absurd fabrication was almost funny.
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I continued reading. - Details
Three hours and 47 minutes ago, she became a VTuber after encountering [black smoke] in her room. According to her, “I was watching Ayase’s stream and suddenly got engulfed by black smoke.”
Before her debut, she was a huge fan of the personal VTuber “Ayase Mitsuko” and still loves her to this day. - Broadcasts
She has not debuted yet.
She is scheduled to debut tomorrow at 7 PM. - Trivia
- Her trademark is her natural pink hair and ample bust.
- She sometimes mutters “This is annoying…” when looking at her chest.
- She prefers to sleep on her stomach but sighs in frustration because it’s impossible with her chest.
- As a librarian dispatched by the Omnia Archive, she has a sacred duty to protect knowledge.
[Librarian’s Duties]
- No breaks. If she doesn’t broadcast at least once a day, she will be forcibly returned to the Omnia Archive.
- She must write a new [Item] article once a month.
- She must write a new [Anomaly] article once a month.
- Failure to follow these duties results in immediate removal from her position as a librarian.
- The librarian’s duties are updated in real-time.
“Are you kidding me?”
I’ve never heard of such complicated RP before.
What’s the Omnia Archive?
And what are these librarian duties?
To sum up what the wiki says:
I have to keep broadcasting,
and investigate anomalies and items by running around.
Clearly,
if my ability can document things like a wiki,
it should be able to investigate anomalies and items too.
The biggest problem with anomalies and items is the uncertainty of information, so if I have this ability…
It would probably be a great contribution to the development of humanity.
But.
What.
What do you want me to do?
I value my life much more than the lives of others.
I don’t have an altruistic mindset.
The duties of a regular investigator?
I won’t.
I won’t keep it. This is just a simple RP anyway.
RP settings are extremely common for virtual users.
Demon RP, Celestial RP, thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox RP, vampire RP that craves human blood…
Virtual users have all sorts of outrageous RPs, but it’s realistically impossible to stick to those RPs.
Why?
RPs are literally just settings.
They’re not ‘reality’ but ‘settings’, so no matter how faithful a virtual user is to their concept, setting conflicts are bound to happen.
Well, those setting conflicts are part of the charm of virtual user broadcasts.
Anyway.
I won’t keep my RP either.
They’re not ‘facts’ but ‘settings’ anyway.
I won’t broadcast.
I won’t write documents.
Tiring.
That was it.
In the upper right corner of my vision.
Once again, holographic letters began to form.
I didn’t use my ability? [Time left until debut broadcast: 22:15:34]
Uh.
Hmm.
Wasn’t it just a simple setup?
