Chapter 4 : Who would like it ? (1)

The next day, Yubin’s broadcast went live.

Drawn by the uproar from yesterday’s incident, viewers flooded in — online trolls who had spread the news far and wide, reporters from various media outlets, content creators from the same industry as Yubin’s former life, and even the Korean Hunter Association.

Everyone was waiting for this broadcast, and the viewership count skyrocketed almost instantly.

The stream had just started, and Yubin hadn’t even appeared on screen yet, but the viewer count had already surpassed four digits.

Where’s the nine-tailed fox?

No, I’m seriously anxious right now.

Is this the right stream?

Wow, I thought this was fake — why is this real?!

Guys, take screenshots now — they’re showing the inside of the tower.

Hey, Hunters, study the layout carefully.

Seeing the chat explode, Yubin smiled slyly.

“Tower Coin’s rolling in nicely~”

As the audience grew, so did the number of Tower Coins displayed in her status window in real time.

With this many coins, maybe she could even hire a boss-level entity.

Grinning from ear to ear, Yubin finally showed her face on camera.

“Hello!”

Yubin’s bright, cheerful smile appeared on screen — porcelain skin, red eyes, and otherworldly beauty.

But the chat, despite being faced with such dazzling charm, mostly erupted in fear.

😊😊😊😊

Wh-why are you smiling so creepily…?

Please, please, please, please.

Ah… ahhh… don’t.

I don’t want to die yet!

She’s gorgeous.

🥰🥰🥰

Watching the terrified reactions in chat, Yubin tilted her head in confusion.

***

“…Why are there four thousand people watching my stream…?”

“It’s not even been a minute since I went live.”

The viewer count kept soaring at an almost terrifying rate.

Sure, the Tower Coins flooding in made her smile, but why was everyone freaking out like this?

She really had no idea.

Please spare us.

Can we… not open the tower.

Save us… Korea is a good country.

It felt like there was some massive misunderstanding between her and the viewers.

She needed to clear it up — fast.

“Everyone, it’s not like I want to be here either.”

“I know very well that Korea is a wonderful country.”

Really?

Y-yes!

Korea is a great country!

Please, then don’t destroy it!

Just… just let us live, please.

Well, Korea was a good country.

Compared to underdeveloped nations struggling to function without Hunters, Korea was practically heaven.

Sure, people complained a lot, but the fact that the nation’s system still worked and the rule of law was upheld?

That was proof it was still a livable place.

The neighboring countries were doing okay too.

“If it were up to me, I’d love to leave this place and explore outside.”

Praising Korea and expressing her desire to visit — who wouldn’t feel good hearing their country being appreciated?

Besides, having been a former content creator herself, Yubin knew exactly how national pride channels pulled in views and engagement.

Not that she was trying to bait with national pride — but still.

Anyway, let’s see how this works out.

If people’s wariness eased even a little, maybe they’d stop trying to raid the tower.

Smiling hopefully, Yubin kept an eye on the chat.

Who the hell said Korea was a good country?!

No!!

This place is hell!!!

Don’t come here!!!!

“otot…….Don’t come out.”

Did you just say you want to come out…?

Ah, f*… Why am I even watching this?

I’m gonna write my will and spend time with my family.

**

For some reason, after my last comment, the chat started trembling even more.

What’s going on?

My plan was supposed to be perfect…Not knowing the cause, I tilted my head in confusion.

Just then, something brushed against my cheek, tickling me.

“Eh? What’s that?”

Muttering to myself, I turned my head — and what I saw was…- Sway, sway.

“Ah.”

Nine fluffy tails swaying in sync with my head tilt.

For a second, I had completely forgotten that I’d become a Gumiho.

With a frozen expression, I turned my gaze back to the chat.

Hhhhng.

Her expression…,She’s finally showing her true colors.

Ah, f*.

**

Are they gonna show this on the news?

LOL,It’s already airing on Japanese and Chinese TV.

Spreading panic to neighboring countries, too.

LOL.

The level of attention-grabbing is definitely SSS-rank.

Half the chat was terrified, while the other half seemed so scared they’d reached a state of acceptance.

‘This… isn’t going well.’

Trying to clear up the misunderstanding had only made it worse.

‘I-I have to fix this somehow!’

Waving my arms wildly, I shouted into the camera.

“E-Everyone! I’m nice! Really! Don’t come try to raid the tower!”

How are we supposed to believe that?

You said you want to come out!

You’re totally aiming for a tower break!!

“I don’t want to kill or hurt any humans!”

“I don’t want to die either!”

I used my entire body to express my sincerity, but the chat refused to believe me.

It seemed like they’d already completely fallen into a state of panic.

At this point, the only way to calm them down was by sharing information about the tower.

“There’s no one else in this tower but me!!”

???

What are you talking about?

What now?

Lies,No way that’s true.

Suppressing my frustration, I stood up from my bed and brushed off my clothes.

“…I’ll show you. It’s pretty lonely here, you know?”

???

Wait… Can she leave the tower?!

Did they really think my boss room would be this small?

“…Do you really think a boss room would be this cramped?”

I’m sorry.

Please, just spare our lives.

🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺

P-Please don’t look at us like that…- Spare us.

“I’m really not interested in anyone’s lives, okay?”

No matter how much I tried to explain, the viewers just wouldn’t believe me — and honestly, it was starting to get on my nerves.

I don’t care about your lives!

Just leave me alone!

BANG!!!

“…Huh? The door broke?”

😔😔😔😞😔😔

I’m sorry, I’m sorry ,I’m sorry.

“Oh… So the door can break?”

???

Wait, even you didn’t know?!

“Well, I’ve never really had to use much strength, so… haha…”

As I let out an awkward laugh, the chat fell completely silent.

They were probably losing their minds with fear again.

Ignoring their reactions, I turned the camera to show off the breathtaking view of my floor.

“See?! Look at this! It’s just me on this vast, empty land!”

Inside the tower?!

Wait, what the…?!

This isn’t just an indoor view — it’s like a whole different world?!

I could practically see the viewers’ shock through the chat.

“Anyway, even if a tower break happens, I’m the only one who’ll come out of here.”

Tower breaks happen on a floor-by-floor basis.

If one floor isn’t cleared, it collapses — along with the three floors above it — and monsters start pouring out.

That’s exactly how Hwarang Tower, the first tower to appear in South Korea and the first to break, unleashed monsters from its first, second, and third floors.

I panned the camera across my lonely, empty tower floor before turning it back to my face.

“See?! You get it now, right?!”

Won’t you show us the other floors?

What if there are others on different floors?

Why should we believe you?

When people started pushing back, I had no good response.…But I’m telling the truth!

How am I supposed to prove it?

I can’t even go down to the lower floors myself.

It’s not like , I can show them the tower’s control panel either.

Just then, I remembered the content I had actually planned for today’s stream.

“…W-Well then! Today, we’ll be doing some… uh… recruitment interviews…”

That’s right — recruitment content.

I was planning to use my tower coins to hire monsters to guard each floor.

This content had two main goals:1. Show off how strong my future ‘employees’ are — so viewers would think twice before trying to invade the tower.

2. Prove I can control these powerful monsters — reassuring everyone that there’s no danger.

Basically, I wanted to inspire both fear and trust.

????

Interviews?

All of a sudden?!

The chat filled with question marks as viewers tried to process my “brilliant” idea.

Smiling confidently, I opened my status window.

“Well, it’s pretty lonely here, you know?”

“And since you guys keep accusing me of lying, I’ll show you how I hire my staff.”

Grinning, I proudly clicked on the option labeled:[Hire Mercenaries]

“Let’s hope some strong friends show up!”

With a sudden gust of wind, a massive purple portal appeared in the courtyard of my palace.

“…Whoa…”

What the hell is that?!

????

E-Excuse me…?!

“Hehe, I wonder who’s gonna show up?”

I have so many tower coins.

Honestly, I’d give up my liver and kidneys if it meant getting some obedient and powerful allies.

Dragging a chair over, I sat down, eyes sparkling with excitement as I waited for my future “employees” to step out of the portal.

And soon enough…Monsters began emerging, one after another.

Above each of their heads, their rank and species were clearly displayed:[S-Rank Demon]

[S-Rank Sword Specter]

[S-Rank Death Knight]

[S-Rank Chimera]

[S-Rank Nightmare]

[S-Rank Hwarang]

“…H-Holy—!!”

My jaw dropped — not out of fear, but out of sheer gratitude.

Strong monsters like these showing up?

I couldn’t have asked for better!

Meanwhile, the chat fell into complete and utter chaos.

?????

Are you kidding me?!

They’re all boss-level monsters.

Time to move to Mars, guys.

So we’re… handing South Korea over to the monsters now, right?

Haha… I guess Earth’s getting its server shut down.

I promise I’ll start recycling, just please spare me, …Hwarang?!

Hwarang?!

This is insane.

LOL every single monster I summoned was S-Rank.

Not just any S-Rank — boss-level monsters.

And that’s why my viewers were losing their minds.
