A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 273

What should I call this?

This time, I’m participating in the General Assembly of Bloody Night 2.


Apparently, the video of my gameplay became super popular on OnTube.

The full video hit 800,000 views.


The edited highlight video hit 1.5 million views.


The shorts video got at least 300,000 views…

[Editor Rebungi3: I think we really caught the wave this time, huh?]


[Editor Rebungi1: Did anyone upload a short of the part where two teams were fought simultaneously?]


[Editor Rebungi2: I’m editing that part right now.]


[Editor Rebungi1: Oh, I want to ride the hype as much as possible. Anything else?]


[Editor Rebungi4: I’ll upload the interview short at 6:30 PM~]

Thanks to that (or maybe because of it), the number of OnTube subscribers has been skyrocketing recently, and the editors are happily uploading more videos.


Because of this, many are predicting that we’ll hit 100,000 subscribers by tomorrow.

Well, actually, Tuni said that I had too few subscribers until now.


They were surprised, saying they’ve never seen a streamer with 10,000 live viewers have such low OnTube subscriber numbers. They guessed it might be because OnTube can’t fully capture the fun parts of my streams.

Anyway, I know we’re about to hit 100,000 subscribers.


I also know that OnTubers usually do something special for their fans to celebrate milestones like this.


So, I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if I did something too?

But then, an unexpected problem arose: how should I celebrate this 100,000 milestone?


The thing is, my OnTube channel features both streamer Rene and VTuber Rene.

Originally, it was just a channel for streamer Rene, and there was no official OnTube channel for VTuber Rene.


But after mentioning that VTuber Rene is streamer Rene’s junior, the editors and I decided to upload VTuber Rene’s videos there too.


So, while it’s technically streamer Rene’s official OnTube channel, it’s also kind of VTuber Rene’s official channel.

So, for this 100,000 subscriber celebration video, which Rene should I feature?

Of course, the best option would be to feature both.


But having two celebration videos on one channel would be weird, and it would double the workload…


That’s really tough.

I’m not saying it’s annoying or anything.


I’m just genuinely concerned about my ability to handle it.

Honestly, I don’t think I’m that good at streaming.


The fact that I’ve gained so many fans is just pure luck.

I don’t do anything particularly special on stream, and I’m not even that good at talking.


I just turn on the stream and play games, and somehow, I got attention.


If my stream suddenly flopped, I wouldn’t be surprised. I’d just think, “Well, it was bound to happen.”

In short, I have no idea how to make a video that satisfies both Rebungi and the Believers.

I’m starting to regret not separating the OnTube channels when the editors suggested it.


If I had, I could’ve just made one video and been done with it.


That would’ve been so much easier.

What should I do?


No matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with an answer.

…But when I’m stuck like this, there’s always a good solution.

My internet streaming mentor, the savior of RiMing, the angel descended from heaven—Tuni.


If I ask Tuni, everything will naturally be resolved… but actually, this time, Tuni isn’t the person I need to ask.

Because, ultimately, this 100,000 subscriber celebration video is for the Rebungi and Believers who watch my streams.


So, of course, I should ask them.

It’s been about 8 months since I started streaming with all of you.


Looking back, it feels like both a short and long time.


If you hadn’t loved my streams, I wouldn’t have been able to keep going until now.

And this time, thanks to you, I’m about to hit 100,000 OnTube subscribers.


Of course, I haven’t reached 100,000 yet, but being so close makes me think about a lot of things.

Since I’m about to hit 100,000 subscribers thanks to all of you, I thought it would be nice to do something to celebrate.


But I have no idea what you’d like, so I’m leaving this post.

What do you think I should do? What kind of video would you find fun?


If you leave a comment, I’ll do my best to make it happen if possible.

Thank you.

NoReneNoLife🔹: Wow, I’ve been watching since the official OnTube channel was just a mess, and seeing this feels so surreal lol


└NoReneNoLife🔹: Seriously, congratulations, and I just hope you keep streaming hard in the future.


└**Rene🔸**: Thank you.


└ㅇㅇ: Boomer vibes…

ㅇㅇ: How about a drinking stream?


└**Rene🔸**: I think a drinking stream is something I can do anytime, so it might not be necessary for this occasion. Any other ideas?


└**Rene🔸**: Of course, I could drink out of happiness.


└ㅇㅇ: Just watching the Silver Button unboxing would be fine lol

ㅇㅇ1: I wish streamer Rene would take a bath and then start the stream with wet hair… It’s my lifelong wish…


└Daguros🔹: I upvoted while crying ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


└ThisPlaceIsGoodBecauseThere’sNoㅇㅅㅇ: Rene, you’re making men cry ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


└Ailerus🔹: Rene, let’s do this. It’s a celebration stream that will satisfy everyone, fr.

ㅇㅇ2: Since Gaeun was the reason you started streaming, how about inviting her to your stream and asking her stuff?


└Remagal: Oh, that sounds kinda fun lol

└Rene🔸: I’ll ask if it’s possible.

└Random1: Why the hell aren’t you replying to my comment???

Random: But wasn’t hitting 100k subs thanks to your junior? It was the BLNA2 competition video that got the algorithm boost, but the senior took all the rewards…

└Pioneer: Whoa, damn damn damn.

└Kankobo: What a toxic senior…

Survey results.

The majority opinion was that just unboxing the Silver Button sent by OnTube for reaching 100k subscribers would be enough.

I even made a separate voting post just in case, but who knew it would overwhelmingly take first place.

Of course, if we’re being technical, the “Other” category was technically first, but since I asked for “Other” opinions to be left in the comments, the comments were just flooded with requests for a bath space stream, so it was meaningless.

So, the 100k subscriber celebration video will probably be a Silver Button unboxing… That’s what Rebungi and the believers are expecting, right?

After all, we even held a vote.

But unfortunately, you’re wrong.

The reason for the vote was purely for misdirection.

What I’m actually going to do for this 100k subscriber celebration stream is…!

[Hello, thank you for 100k OnTube subscribers]

[Talk | 4,898 viewers | 00:05:25]

─Where did this girl go after turning on the stream?

─Damn, Rene really made it big with 100k OnTube subs.

─Congrats on 100k subs, Rene lol I didn’t subscribe though.

─You guys not subscribing, are you embarrassed of Rene’s OnTube?

─Why would I be embarrassed????

─But why are you doing a celebration stream now? Didn’t you hit 100k two days ago?

─She already thanked everyone two days ago, today’s just a celebration stream.

─She’s gonna unbox the Silver Button, right?

Two days ago.

Rene’s OnTube finally hit 100k subscribers.

Immediately, streamer Rene thanked everyone on her stream and Remagal, while VTuber Rene did the same on her stream and Nate. She also mentioned that the celebration stream would happen once the Silver Button arrived, to be hosted by streamer Rene.

And today, with a title that anyone could tell was a celebration stream.

Seeing that title, all the Rebungi and believers instinctively knew.

She’s going to unbox the Silver Button… they thought.

In reality, a Silver Button unboxing stream isn’t anything particularly special.

If anything, it’s just a regular chat stream.

The reason is simple: the Silver Button itself isn’t that special.

Sure, objectively speaking, 100k subscribers is less than 10% of all OnTubers, but the OnTubers most people watch are already somewhat well-known.

Meaning, most of them have already received Silver Buttons.

Having seen countless Silver Button unboxings, another one just doesn’t feel special.

It’s more like a tradition: hit 100k subs, do a Silver Button unboxing.

That’s why it topped the Remagal poll—it’s just something you gotta do.

Of course, people celebrate it, but no one really expects much.

Yet, nearly 5,000 of Rene’s fans were waiting to watch that very stream.

─So where the hell did this girl go lol

─Did something happen? She usually shows up within 2 minutes.

But for some reason, even though the stream was live, everyone’s screen was just pitch black.

5 minutes passed.

10 minutes passed.

15 minutes passed.

And even 20 minutes passed.

─What the hell, I’m seriously getting anxious;;;

─Should we call the police?

─Lieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslieslies

The chat atmosphere was getting worse by the minute.

Some even seriously suggested calling the police.

“Haaa…”

But thankfully, after about 30 minutes, Rene’s breathing could be heard, and the pitch-black screen finally changed.

There stood Rene, looking as usual.

─Damn, Rene, why’d you make us worry like that ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

─Explain why you did this, you crazy girl…

─Are you even breathing???? Are you really breathing???

─I was about to call the police, you jerk;

Of course, the fans in the chat started protesting.

Seeing this, Rene tilted her head, confused.

“Did something happen…?”

Not understanding why the atmosphere was like this, Rene read the chat to figure out the situation and explained why she did what she did.

“I… you guys kept saying you wanted to see me fresh out of the shower, so I took a shower and came…”

And only then did they notice.

Her hair was still damp, and her clothes were slightly wet from the neck to the shoulders.

A single droplet of water was trickling down her collarbone.

Her cheeks were flushed red, likely from the warm bath, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

There had been a post imagining VTuber Rene like this, which became a legendary post among the Rebungi, and everyone watching the stream knew about it.

─LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

─Wow [Deleted message]

─Crazy girl… crazy girl… crazy girl… crazy girl… crazy girl… crazy girl… crazy girl… crazy girl…

─Did you allow this? I’m not holding back? I’m going AFK for a bit???? [Deleted message]

─From now on, anyone not chatting is the culprit, Rene ㅇㅇ;

─Endurance level 9999999 [Deleted message]

The chat exploded.

“…Perverts.”

─Bitch [Deleted message]

─I’ll take my pants off [Deleted message]

─Insult me more… [Deleted message]

The chat exploded again at Rene’s words.
