As soon as I started the stream, I had to calm down the viewers who were already in tears.
“Whoa, whoa… Everyone, calm down for now.”
Oh, there’s an article!
What’s ‘Friendly’ classification?
???
What does ‘Friendly’ mean?
There was a classification like that?
“…Did they just make it up?”
LOL legendary.
The chat exploded with people talking in their own little world.
“…Friendly?”
Hearing them all repeating “Friendly, Friendly” made me feel like I had wandered into a jungle full of gorillas.
But the sheer number of “😊😊😊” (Korean laughter) appearing in my chat—something rare on my streams—told me this was actually a good thing.
“The Hunter must have done something big!”
It seemed like I had started my stream at just the right time.
Apparently, my stream had something to do with this whole “Friendly classification” situation.
Given that about a month had passed since my death, maybe something new had emerged.
“‘Friendly’ must mean something like ‘amicable,’ right? Well, good news is good news.”
After the Friendly classification was announced, my viewership skyrocketed.
Sorry, what?
LOL, how can a monster be friendly?
The end times are here.
Trolls, get out.
If this gets reclassified as dangerous, you’re gonna be the first ones to get wrecked.
The Gumiho Tower is hypnotizing people!
This country’s hunters and government are already under its spell!
Ugh!
All these trolls, just leave!
With all the new viewers, the chat quickly spiraled out of control.
‘…How is this mess even worse than when I was doing reaction bait content?’
Shaking my head, I watched as the chat filled with insults—at me, at politicians, at hunters, at guilds, at the National Hunter Management Committee, and its affiliated Hunter Association.
Still, thanks to all the ranting, I picked up some interesting bits of information.
‘…Oh, this guy is still in politics?’
‘Wait, this bastard is already out of prison?!’
‘That guild… I thought it was doomed, but somehow it’s still alive?’
The fact that some of the hunters I personally took down were already out of prison was shocking.
On top of that, it seemed like not much had changed in the political scene, and the controversy surrounding the Tower Interior Recording & Broadcasting Ban Zones was still raging.
‘…Wait, why the hell is everyone out of jail?!’
The most shocking thing was the release of Choa-rin.
I only noticed because some idiot in the chat was defending her.
“Choa – rin looked even prettier when she got out of prison. LOL”
A curse almost slipped out.
‘Are you insane?! What’s so great about that woman?!’
That was the moment I decided there was no point in reading any more toxic comments.
As much as I hated to say it, way too many idiots were willing to be fooled just because someone was pretty.
Choa- rin.
Just thinking about her still made my blood boil.
Right then, a system message popped up.
[Would you like to set up banned words for your stream?]
Without hesitation, I hit YES.
I banned political names and extreme parental insults.
Not that it really affected me—I had no parents in my past or present life—but I figured my more sensitive viewers would appreciate it.
As for basic swearing?
People need to vent sometimes, so I left that alone.
Finally, the chat was somewhat cleaner.
“I set up some banned words. How is it now?”
Smiling, I asked the viewers, and the now-clean chat greeted me back cheerfully.
Nice!
How did you even know which politician names to block?
LOL.
Why is “Choa ” censored?
Choa – LOL the Queen Bee got banned.
Worker bees, get out.
LOL “Drug Queen”.
LOL.
How the hell did she get out of prison?
That was basically murder—Dark Hero sent her straight to hell.
For real LOL.
“Ahh… Kang Yubin…”
People suddenly started worshiping me.
I mean, I was just doing it for money, but now they were treating me like some hero of justice.
Not that I minded.
“…Heh.”
I scratched my head awkwardly, grinning.
???
Why are you smiling all of a sudden?
Scary…😂 😂 😂 😂.
Why are you laughing?
Do monsters have a different sense of humor?
The chat was filled with question marks and nervous laughter.
I guess I was still a bit intimidating.
I mean, even if the committee had acknowledged me, I was still a monster.
Of course, they’d be cautious.
‘Alright, I need to ease their fears.’
If people were uneasy, the best way to calm them down was with a reasonable explanation.
I had been caught up in a few public controversies in my past life, so I had some experience with public relations.
And this time?
It was easy.
All I had to do was tell them my name.
“Whoa, whoa, chill out~”
LOL.
That “whoa whoa” gesture is hilarious.
He really seems like a person.
Honestly, at this point, isn’t he just a slightly overpowered hunter?
Luckily, everyone calmed down pretty quickly.
This could’ve gone sideways, but I wanted to clear things up properly.
Saying my name wasn’t a big deal, so I decided to just go for it.
“Are you guys curious why I laughed?”
Yes!!
YOU!
How dare you laugh at our Dark Hero?!
Unforgivable!
Yubin King!
Yubin King!
That guy was basically a god!
The worshiping started again.
Man, they were really hyping up my past life.
“…Pfft!”
??
Why is he laughing again?
Even his laugh is cute.
Damn it, our hero is being mocked by a monster!
F-rank hunter getting laughed at by an SSS-rank… actually, wait—who are these guys grabbing me—?!
More chaotic jokes filled the chat.
I grinned and looked straight at the camera.
“My name is Yubin.”
Nothing dramatic.
Just a simple statement.
Sure, “Yubin” was a bit of a feminine name for a guy, but now that I was actually a woman, it wasn’t an issue.
Or at least, I thought it wouldn’t be.
“Uh… guys?”
The chat was completely frozen.
A weird sense of déjà vu hit me.
I had seen this exact reaction somewhere before.
And sure enough, a second later.
The chat exploded.
A monster has a name?!
YUBIN KING!!!!
No way, 5252 (Korean meme for “come on”)
Did you just say your name is Yubin?
LOL.
Are you serious?
You didn’t just make that up?
…?
“-Did you reincarnate?”
“-Whoa…”
“-LOL”
“-I mean, the craziest part is that a monster even has a name in the first place.”
“-But should we really be surprised that an SSS-rank monster is different?”
“-Yeah, SSS-rank is on another level. Even has a name.”
“-Makes sense, they’re basically a named boss.”
“W-Wow, that’s quite the reaction!”
“-You have a name?”
“Yup!”
I answered brightly, which made everyone laugh again.
They clearly didn’t believe me.
I mean, who would believe that a monster had a name?
‘But if they checked my status window, they’d see it right there.’
Maybe once I made some hunter friends, I could ask them to check my status and confirm it.
Feeling a little unfairly doubted, I made a mental note to clear things up when I had the chance.
With that, I stepped outside.
Immediately, I was met with noise.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
“Hey, you bony bastard! Stop nailing that there!”
“You little punk, still wet behind the ears?!”
“You think being dead excuses you?!”
“How old even are you?!”
“I’m thirty-freaking-forty-five, you little shit!”
Unaware that I had stepped outside, the two groups were hurling insults at each other in an oddly friendly manner.
Seeing how close they had gotten made me smile without even realizing it.
But unlike me, the viewers were apparently horrified.
“-Whoa…”
“-Monsters are seriously brutal…”
“-Why are the Hwarang bullying that skeleton?;;”
“-The Hwarang guys are awful.”
“-I mean, they’re Korean monsters, but after everything they did, I can’t see them in a good light.”
“-LOL”
“T-They didn’t do anything wrong…! They’re fresh recruits…!”
Worried they might get the wrong idea, I shrank a little as I spoke.
That only made the chat explode with laughter.
“-LOL”
“-That wording though LOL”
“-Freshly made Hwarang for sale~”
“-Wait, if they’re fresh, doesn’t that mean Hwarang made them?…Huh.”
“-WTF, don’t make me imagine that kind of shit.”
“-What if Hwarang is a woman?!”
“-WTF, how would that even work?!”
Looks like I accidentally threw them a debate topic.
They were having fun, though, so I let them be.
“Hey! Stop fighting!”
“…Ah, Sword Ghost….”
“…Ahem.”
The Skeleton and Hwarang froze as soon as Sword Ghost noticed them.
She blew her whistle once, then hurried over to break up the fight, her little legs moving quickly.
“…Doesn’t she kind of feel like a daughter? Cute, right?”
I asked the chat as I watched her swing her tiny safety baton while wearing a crooked helmet.
Sure enough, the chat had the same reaction as me.
“-Whoa…”
“-Why is she so cute…?”
“-Wait, can a monster even be this adorable?”
“She’s still a little scared of people, so you guys can’t meet her yet!”
“-…That’s fine. I don’t want to.”
“-LOL”
“-Oh… uh… good to know?”
“-LOL”
Huh?
I was planning to set up a fan meeting since they seemed interested, but… rejected.
“Huh? But she’s cute.”
“-…She’s still a monster.”
“-Are you seriously suggesting showing an S-rank monster to regular people?”
“-…Uhh.”
“-LOL”
“-SSS-rank logic: Humans and S-rank monsters are basically the same.”
“-Guys, don’t forget—the first human they met was Choi Hanseong.”
“-Oh, that explains everything.”
“-Yeah, Hanseong hyung is different.”
“-Wait, but why are they doing construction?”
“-Why is your house gone?”
After chatting among themselves for a while, they finally remembered to ask me before I could get annoyed.
‘…If they waited one more minute, I might’ve actually sulked.’
Smiling brightly, I answered.
“A hunter broke it!”
“-…Huh?”
“-…?”
“-…Hanseong hyung?”
“-Wait, did he just wreck the place and leave?”
“-I have no words.”
“-Is he insane…?”
“-So he destroyed your house and then live-streamed it?”
“-He’s completely nuts.”
“-…Are you okay?”
“-I’m sorry… On behalf of humanity, I apologize…”
“-Hanseong controversy incoming.”
“-Are you a saint? Why haven’t you wiped out humanity yet?”
Unlike my cheerful smile, the chat was spiraling into chaos.
