During my short time as a streamer, I had received various proposals, but none of them seemed bad. Whether it's luck or not, I don't know, but I guess I could say there hasn’t been any that I could call bad so far. Because of that, I had a positive impression of "proposals."

“What kind of proposal?”

The moment I heard Harin was the one making the proposal, I felt like it probably wouldn’t be bad. So, I asked.

[Harin: Ah, it’s nothing special][Harin: Recently, there’s a server where streamers gather][Harin: to play games together][Harin: Want to join?]

An unexpected answer came back. A server where streamers gather to play games together.

“Is the game you’re talking aboutLeore?”

I was a little confused, just hearing "game" as it could mean anything.

[Harin: Oh][Harin: NotLeore][Harin: Do you remember playingMinecraftwhen you were younger?][Harin: It’s that.][Oh][🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: So, you're finally entering the major league..][대 다 마][환희: It's the place you can only enter if you have an invite, lol][망밍: Oh, I have an invite too][망밍: I'll give you mine so you can enter.]

From the chat, it was clearlyMinecraft, a game I was familiar with. The game where everything is blocky, and if you know even a little about games, you couldn’t miss it.

“But, I’m not really that good atMinecraft.”

Of course, I could play it at a basic level, but I wasn’t particularly skilled. I had no real interest inMinecraftand hadn’t played it in a long time. I only knew the controls, but compared to those who had played it a lot, I wasn’t good at it.

[It’s fine if you’re not good][Who even needs to be good atMinecraft? Haha][We’re just gathering to chat, after all][🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: So, are you going to do it or not?][Harin: Please let me know if you’re in][Harin: I’ll put in the invite][Why is it just Harin doing this? I want to do it too][Forced exit!]

[Such a pain, we should seriously sue][Sue, seriously haha][Please go to America TV or something, stop lowering Twitch’s standards][Fact is, Twitch and America TV are the same level...]

“I’ll join if you send me the invite. I’ve been getting a bit bored just playingLeoreall the time lately.”

I was enjoyingLeorea lot, but after playing it all day, it could get a little boring. Sometimes, it was necessary to mix things up.

[Harin: Oh, then][Harin: I’ll send you the invite][Harin: One moment][🗡️전지좆능한크툴루:Minecraftsounds fun though][If it'sMinecraft, of course I’d be in haha][Leore tier up? Forget about it, you can’t focus onLeoreall day]

“I’ve raised my tier quite a bit already, though. It’s fine to take it slow from now on.”

My current score was 94 points in Master rank. Honestly, this was a very high score. There were only around 2,000 players ranked above me.

Saying this, I switched screens briefly. A moment later,

Ding–!

A file was sent from Harin, detailing how to join the server. The method was quite complicated. It was difficult to explain in words.

‘Do I really have to do all this?’

It felt like overkill just to join one server. I couldn’t imagine that there were that many people wanting to join, but since I received the instructions, I had to give it a try.

“Just a moment. I’ll try joining quickly.”

I hadn’t playedMinecraftwith anyone else much, so the process of joining the server was more difficult than I thought. It seemed to have a system to it. After some time passed,

[Harin: Have you still not joined yet?][🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Haha, you can’t even join aMinecraftserver][환희: How can you be this young and still not able to join a server?][Just quit][Seriously, this is ridiculous][강후민입니다: Just ask Harin for help if it’s too hard]

“No, I can do it myself.”

I hated asking others for help with these things. I could handle it on my own.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: If you can do it][🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Then just do it, you old man][Haha][Nothing beats Cthulhu’s sharp remarks haha][But seriously, it’s hard to handle this][When’s it starting? When’s it starting? When’s it starting? When’s it starting?][Please start already...][Harin: If it’s hard][Harin: Let me know, I’ll help you][No, Harin, why would you say it like that][Ugh, you’ll be stuck trying to join all day]

I didn’t like them mocking me in the chat, but I didn’t pay attention to it. After all, I would eventually manage to join the server, and that was all that mattered. After some more time passed,

“Phew, I’m in.”

I finally made it. The process was so complicated that I wondered if anyone else could have joined without help.

Thinking that, I switched the screen back.

“Done.”

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: 21 minutes to do it? That’s normal...][Seriously, just get help next time...][It’s all about pride][Oh,Damashiiactually proved it haha][Harin: Oh, you did it][Harin: Then just stay there][Harin: I’ll be waiting by the entrance][강후민입니다: Don’t mess with myDamashii, you jerk][Looks likeDamashiiis really the best haha]

Following Harin’s instructions, I clicked the server link.

Then-

[Connecting…]

The message "Connecting…" popped up, and after a short moment.

Swoosh–!

An image I was familiar with appeared in front of me.

“Oh.”

It was a bit new for me, since it had been 2 years since I last logged intoMinecraft. It felt kind of fresh, if that makes sense.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Finally in][Did you add a skin?][I bet you don’t have one][AMinecraftnewbie wouldn’t have a skin haha][환희: I want to give you a new one]

“I have a skin!”

Saying this, I switched to third-person perspective and proudly showed off my skin. It was probably one I had received from someone I met online a while ago, and I had kept it because I liked it so much.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Whoa][Harin: Whoa][망밍: Whoa][강후민입니다: Whoa][환희: Whoa]

Everyone was astonished. It was understandable, as I hadn’t seen a skin this cool inMinecrafteither.

“Cool, right?”

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: This is a bit weird to say][🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Your character looks like they’d be really into LGBT][For real][Why the heck did you make it like that][You’d probably say you’re vegan but eat meat like a pro][Why is the hair purple?][It’s so confusing][강후민입니다: Where the hell did you get that skin? Whoever spread that, seriously, they need to be punished.]

“No, it’s just pretty. Why are you all being so rude?”

I honestly thought it was a very pretty skin, so I was a little disappointed by the reactions. As I was feeling upset,

-Damashii,

I heard a familiar voice.

“Oh, what’s that? Why are you so sparkly?”

Harin appeared in front of me, wearing expensive-looking armor.

It felt like someone showing off luxury goods in front of their friends.

‘...It does look cool.’

The black armor she wore looked incredibly impressive.

-Just, you know… I picked it up while wandering around.

“Wow…”-By the way, let me show you around the server. It can be hard to adapt at first, but once you do, it’s really fun.“Sure.”

As far as I knew, this server was a special place for streamers and BJs that opened as an event server.So following Harin seemed like the best choice.

Step, step.

As I followed Harin, listening to her explanation about how the server worked, at that moment:

-Harin! Hi!-Hi.

A woman’s voice casually greeted Harin. But then-

‘Wait a second.’

I recognized that voice from somewhere. I had heard it recently quite a bit.From that, I could guess-

“Pine, is that you?”

It was definitely Pine.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Pine is here, wtf haha][Millions of won gone~~~][The one who handed over a million won toDamashiiGOAT][This is hilarious haha][Pine, why are you here?][Pine, hi]

When I greeted her-

-Oh, um… Hi?

Pine’s response came with the tone of someone who didn’t recognize me.
