Chapter 768

〈 Chapter 768 〉 Part 2, Chapter 7, Yuna 2

Streamer Seo Karang’s broadcast started off with a bang, but despite the initial chaos, she managed to pull off some decent results.

-“Digital prostitute lol”

-“Sharing her body like public property… oh my…”

-“Were the viewers scanned too?”

“I don’t know about that. Should I ask Big Brother?”

-Fuck, she’s hitting back hard lmao

-Big Brother…oh my.

-Feeling like Harang has been stolen from me…but maybe I don’t mind?

Seok Harang is no ordinary person.

No matter what kind of dirty jokes or insults were thrown at her, she gracefully deflected them all with humor and poise. Even the most toxic troublemakers eventually fell away on their own or got themselves banned from other communities for bad behavior while trying to antagonize Seok Harang.

“They’re so pure.”

But Seok Harang just smiled at their antics.

“Back in that world, it was filled to the brim with pure evil.”

“It’s due to Tera’s influence. A world saturated with monster waves turning humans into beasts. The people here who seem toxic are actually considered normal compared to there.”

The Earth of 2020.

Its people lived in constant fear, never knowing when a monster might appear and start killing everyone.

Because of this, they harbored extreme jealousy towards those special ability users who seemed to live safe and easy lives, indulging in luxury while others suffered.

To the point where they weren’t just shut-ins, they were monster shut-ins.

The corrupted mana of Tera amplified humanity’s malice, changing people’s natures. Seok Harang had grown up since she was 12 years old enduring the envy and hatred of such individuals.

“The people here are so nice, it’s refreshing. Back then, people would post pictures of dead bodies asking ‘Why didn’t you come save them?’ just to provoke reactions.”

“Few people tried to draw aggro through broadcasts. That’s why some maintained villain concepts.”

The Earth of 2020.

Just as the Korean Peninsula was called the “Hellfire Peninsula,” the entire planet was close to becoming a demonic realm.

The Earth people experience indirectly through games in 2025 is already much tamer by comparison.

Human malice knows no bounds, and it’s not something an average person can endure easily.

That’s why the number of heroes dwindled. Seok Harang was someone who’d held onto the mission of being a hero for nearly ten years.

A hero’s mentality doesn’t break even when called a cyber-prostitute.

Because she…

“Looking at my in-game self, Big Brother seems to have made out with me and broadcasted it to the whole world?”

“It’s all in-game though.”

“Wouldn’t you do the same outside the game? While I’ve grown more mature, it’s not entirely wrong, is it?”

The opening of the Seok Harang route – declaring love to 6 billion Earthlings in front of everyone.

It’s not something you just do lightly.

“Public proposal is one thing, but this is basically public sex.”

“Scary, 26-year-old Seok Harang. Wanting to monopolize your lover to the point of having sex in front of the whole world. What do you think, Big Brother? Is it possible?”

“Not impossible.”

If declaring Shin-ra and Seok Harang as mine before the eyes of the entire Earth constitutes sex, then this body will gladly sacrifice itself.

Though I should avoid getting hate comments like “What guy would want to have sex with someone like that?”

“…In that sense, shouldn’t we talk about ‘that’ thing soon?”

“You’re right. Let’s address this first.”

Seok Harang and Shin-ra’s expressions grew serious.

Seeing them so grave made me serious too. Looking at the smart pad in front of me, my heart sank.

“Yuinah?”

“Yes, it’s Yuinah. The woman who’s slept with you 100,000 times.”

“Honestly speaking, that’s just data fragments.”

“But the 2020 Yuinah is different, isn’t she? Just like Blazing Phoenix and Shin-ra are different people.”

“Of course.”

I attempted countless speedruns to enter the Phoenix route, recruiting Yuinah on January 1st and achieving SS rank exactly 100 days later, syncing her with any random spirit and racing straight to the ending. It was incredibly simple.

The process of researching various methods to conquer Blazing Phoenix took some time, but advancing the story itself was easy.

However, the Yuinah from the data I’ve ‘shared’ flesh with and the real 2020 Yuinah are different people.

She is very much alive and holds great meaning to me.

Without Yuinah, I couldn’t have contained the Hydra.

Thanks to Yuna synchronizing with Hydra and Ji Ryun as a trinity, I was able to create the opportunity to bring Blazing Phoenix to 2020’s Earth as Shin-ra.

Many people helped us along the way, but Yuna was truly invaluable.

“So what do you want to say?”

“That, pause please.”

“…Is this a video?”

I thought it was a picture.

Tapping the screen, I restarted the paused video.

“What is this?”

It looked like a female streamer’s broadcast.

Chats flowing by like waves on the right side.

And there she was – the real, living Yuinah.

Isn’t this my Yuinah?

No.

[Calling me a digital prostitute? Hmm, that’s not quite right. The in-game modeling simply can’t capture our true selves. In that sense, that girl resembles me.]

As Yuinah in the video said, the game couldn’t fully represent the real Yuna.

While the in-game Yuna was level 99, the real-life Yuna was a goddess-level 100 existence.

[If we must be precise, you could say you’ve formed good relationships with beings derived from me. In other words…hello, future sons-in-law?]

“Son-in-law…?”

Now I understand why Yuna appeared.

“Even if it’s not about treating in-game characters like children.”

“Still, thanks to this Yuna, perceptions of Harang have improved somewhat.”

Shin-ra brought updates from the community.

[Daughter! Give me the mother-in-law!]

[That’s going too far, Commander! Don’t touch our mom!]

Fwoosh.

Yuna Bad Ending – Mother-in-Law Conflict leads to Death.

“…What kind of update is this?”

“The in-game Yuinah is Yuinah. But the real-life Yuinah is set as the mother of the in-game Yuinah.”

“Then it’s impossible to pursue her. They wouldn’t leave Yuna open for pursuit.”

“That’s true. But Big Brother, there’s an issue.”

Seok Harang showed me a message that had arrived on the pad, her expression stern.

“Big Brother, she wants to meet you. Damn it.”

“……”

Yuinah.

Whatever kind of Yuinah this may be, she’s proposed a one-on-one meeting at a cafe.

According to Shin-ra.

“Is this a declaration of war?”

“…Feels dangerous.”

Though I couldn’t hide my unease, I found it difficult to reject Yuna’s offer to meet.

After all…

“If you just meet her, she’ll kiss you right away… Are you wearing clothes?”

“……”

Yuna bribed Shin-ra with her lips.

* * *

A little later.

I emerged at a nearby cafe.

Dressed in the outfit Shin-ra prepared, I looked like I was going on a blind date.

Booooom.

This local cafe near my house wasn’t a chain store and had very few customers.

The meeting place was chosen by Yuna, and I spotted her immediately upon entering.

“Have you arrived?”

Her brown wavy bob hairstyle.

While the in-game Yuna sticks to various short haircuts, I’ve seen this particular style somewhere before.

‘Where was it?’

Certainly not in the game. Where?

Even stranger, she wore a coat over a mini-skirt-like dress, which felt extremely awkward.

The Yuna I know isn’t like this, yet somehow this version feels genuinely like ‘her’.

Ah, this is the Yuna who escaped from the Earth of 2020!

“Since our titles can mix, I’ll call you Director.”

“Director?”

“You are the leader of the Blue Wind Sect, after all.”

“…Are you perhaps…”

“Shall we go upstairs and talk?”

Yuna’s demeanor was exceptionally calm and composed.

I followed her up to the second floor of the cafe.

“I’ve already placed the orders. Your drink, mine, and a cream pie.”

“…Why cream pie specifically?”

“Well, it’s my favorite. Though…it’s more fun seeing Director take it so seriously.”

Yuna sat down with a sly smile.

“The reason I asked to meet is this: Streamer Seo Karang and the Death Dinass heroines will be broadcasting from Director’s house. You, Director, will become our producer.”

“Hmm…”

Not a bad deal.

But there’s no special ‘reason’ to proceed with it.

“My proposal is simple. I want Director’s…child. Please give me your virginity and let me bear your child.”

“Wha-!”

I almost spewed.

Yuna naturally handed me a napkin, and after cleaning my mouth, I looked at her.

“What’s gotten into you?”

“Exactly what I said. It’s beneficial for Director, for me, and for the child that will be born from my womb.”

“No, wait a minute. Why should I?”

Anyone hearing this would think Yuna and I were already married.

“Just treat me like how you treated Harang-ssi. Besides, I’m already an ‘adult.'”

“But why?”

No matter how I think about it, there’s no ‘reason’ to do this.

“All I’ve done to you is force you to fight on the battlefield.”

“It was a worthwhile experience.”

“Forcing someone to have my child just because of that? That’s not right.”

“No, that’s not the only reason. I came here specifically to have Director’s child.”

“Hold on.”

Something feels off.

I’ve felt this déjà vu since the beginning.

Through everything she’s said so far, I’ve realized the ‘strangeness’ in Yuna.

“Yuinah.”

“Yes.”

“Yuna wouldn’t say things like that.”

“Like what?”

“Yuna would never force anyone, no matter the situation. She’s absolutely not someone who would ‘force’ others.”

“…People get desperate when they’re in love.”

“Even so.”

Yuna wouldn’t do that.

As an expert who’s ‘battled’ with Yuna 100,000 times, I can confidently say:

“Yuna isn’t the type to fight for love. This approach…yes.”

I gripped the blue-white band on my wrist in preparation for any unexpected situations.

“You…aren’t Yuna, are you?”

“If I’m not Yuna, then who would I be?”

“This method…I think I understand.”

You’re not Yuna.

You’re something else wearing Yuna’s body.

“You…”

“…Caught me.”

Yuna revealed her true colors instantly.

Her brown eyes, no, her golden eyes gleamed as she smiled and offered me the cream pie.

“Hello, Xian-kun?”

“……”

“Hello, Director.”

“…Yuinah?”

Wha…?

Two Yunas?
