I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work

Magia might’ve crushed the first round with ease, but…
Keeping that kind of momentum going? That’s really, really hard.

Just think about it.
Everyone watching that first match probably thought, “Holy crap, Magia’s luck is broken today.”
But what they saw was only part of her luck for the day.

It’s like gacha games.
Say I need to pull both a character and their signature weapon.
And let’s say I get the character on my first 10-pull.
Does that mean the weapon’s coming in the next 10-pull too?

The answer is: nobody knows.
You could hit pity, or maybe get lucky again like with the character.
There’s no telling.
So when Magia started the second round by stepping on everyone else’s properties one after another, burning through 1 million of her 2 million won starting funds?

The Slugs were devastated, like they were at a funeral.
— this is a nightmare
— what the hell, you were doing so good earlier
— and now why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why?
— Marxx…! your money…!

“……”
Magia, not too concerned about winning or losing, stayed completely chill.

But her two opponents were having the time of their lives.
“How’s that, Gia? The glorious power of my Eye DNA.”
“Sorry, kiddo. Uncle’s gonna take second place this time, so go ahead and burn it all. Burn it down, let’s go~”

“Ugh, bro, that whole ‘burn it down’ thing is ancient. That meme’s fossilized.”
“Wait, people don’t say that anymore?”
That lit a fire under the Slugs.
Grown men, ganging up on young, innocent Magia.
Teaming up to stomp on a budding sprout. (Narrator: They weren’t.)

— Crkemang and Youngun, from today onward, you are the enemies of the Slugs
— Target identified. Engaging, Alpha.
— UNFORGIVABLE UNFORGIVABLE UNFORGIVABLE UNFORGIVABLE UNFORGIVABLE UNFORGIVABLE UNFORGIVABLE
— DON’T STOMP ON OUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!
— Noooo Magia’s channel is disappearing don’t go please noooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭
As the chat started boiling over, Magia muttered a warning.
“Guys, you do know that if you cross the line insulting other streamers, you’ll get a full Parallel-wide ban, right?”

— booooooo
— sob sob sob sob sob sob sob sob
— we won’t shoot, Slug squad won’t shoot 😭😭😭😭
— I just imagined Gong slapping my butt with a baseball bat… boohoo
“And remember, this doesn’t end until someone drops 100 subs. Right?”
They just needed to be reminded.
No need to take things too seriously.
The game’s gonna go on for a while—no need to panic.

Youngun snorted.
“Exactly. Crkemang got totally wrecked last round and handed over 10 subs, but this is just the start. We could easily hit 30 rounds.”
Each game averages about 30 minutes. 30 rounds would be 900 minutes.

That’s 15 hours.
Which meant: yeah, if they really went for it, it could last that long.
Crkemang, being on the older side, might actually pass out if they streamed that much.

“Hey, you two. You’re not seriously gonna go that long, right? I need sleep. If I don’t, my wife’s gonna murder me.”
Youngun groaned like he was weighing something.
“Alright then, how about this: if you donate 50 subs, you’re allowed to dip out whenever you want.”

“And then you two just keep going?”
“That’s the plan. Sound good, Gia?”
Magia nodded without hesitation.

“Fine by me. One-on-one might get a little dull though.”
“Hah, and they call me a leech? I’ll make this stream insanely fun.”
Sure, one-on-one with Youngun—famous leech—might’ve rubbed the Slugs the wrong way…

But honestly, nobody cared.
Continuing the game was what mattered.
— we’re going until someone drops 100, right?
— tsk, let’s push to 200
— 100’s kinda weak…
— 1v1? 100 subs is stingy. Make it 200
— facts
— let’s keep this going forever
Youngun might’ve been good at the game, meaning Magia could keep losing…

But the longer they played, the higher the odds of her channel opening.
If they could just # Nоvеlight # get her personal channel launched—
Everything else could be handled later!
And if Youngun got annoying post-stream by hovering around Magia?
Well, they’d just deal with him then.

And sitting atop all those scheming Slugs… was Magia.
After checking the viewer count, she casually asked Youngun:
“Chat says we might as well go all the way to 200. What do you think?”

“You’re seriously going for 200? I was just talking trash.”
“Well, you do love Blue Marble, right?”
“…Are you planning to skip out on that Combative collab in exchange for playing this with me tonight?”

“Busted.”
Youngun paused, then nodded.
“Fine. I’m in. Better to enjoy a game you actually want to play than force one you hate.”

“Then 200 it is.”
“Deal!”
The second that decision dropped, the chat exploded.

— KYAAAAA
— THE GIA
— what is with her today LOL
— she finally understands the Slugs…
The chat seemed to be moving even faster now.
And sure enough, the viewer count had shot way up.

[(🔴Live) All Together Marble Until 200 Subs Are Spent] 👪 22,104
#AllTogetherBlueMarble #Parallel #Magia
There were several reasons.
First, word of the sub giveaway event spread fast across the platform.
Tons of new viewers came flooding in hoping to win.

And Parallel’s been trending lately—so Magia’s name is naturally gaining traction too.
Plus… free stuff.
Nobody hates free stuff.
Even people who had zero intention of becoming fans stuck around just to watch—and maybe become a fan if the stream was fun.

Second?
Magia’s personal channel was part of the sub event.
This girl had been saying forever that she’d never debut.
Never start her own channel.

Now she might?
No way the floaters were gonna miss out on this kind of entertainment.
Just reporting the results to the forums would earn someone a top-voted post.

And if they snagged a Magia sub on top of that?
This translation is the intellectual property of .
Considering how known she is across the Pazijik community, it wouldn’t take much to become a local legend.

So people kept pouring in.
Cheering her on.
— THE GIA
— please, subs
— Magia was meant to be my oshi Magia was meant to be my oshi Magia was meant to be my oshi
— AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
— I’m sitting here with my mouth open
— hurry up and win already
— waaaaaaah

The more you chatted (and the longer you stayed), the higher your odds of winning.
So except for the Slugs who’d been watching her for over a year, everyone else was on edge.
Sure, more subs meant more chances…

But you still had to win a 1-in-6 roulette, then compete with all the other viewers.
At this point, people were starting to realize they might’ve been played.

:: I’ve been a Slug for three months and… yeah this ain’t it ::

:: Anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Honestly, shouldn’t there be a one-month follow requirement or something? ::
Magia chuckled softly.
“New viewers are always welcome, but let’s not block the door. And just so no one forgets—today’s subs aren’t just for me. They include everyone streaming right now.”

Surprisingly, there weren’t many people going full turret mode or trying to go dark unicorn edgy.
:: Anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: these loudass clowns didn’t even watch before, I’ve been here since the start, promoted the stream, donated, subbed, supported from when she was still a nobody, I’M SPECIAL but now the chat’s filled with freeloaders polluting the air ::
Magia may have been a turret herself, but she’d never let anyone else become one for her.

:: Anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: (This message is from a blocked user.) ::
Fewer competitors? More chances for the rest.
Naturally, those left behind started spamming chat even harder to boost their odds.

— lol all you gotta do is spam chat
— people are self-eliminating, this is perfect
— bye losers, these subs are mine
— MAGIA FIGHTING!!
But despite all the hype and the Slugs’ passionate support…
Magia’s luck totally bottomed out in round two.

“Eughk!”
“Yikes, kiddo… you okay?”
“I’m okay.”

— WE’RE not okay!!
— Aaaaargh
— Diiiiiiiiiisaster
She kept landing on other people’s properties, selling off land, even taking out what’s known as a last-resort loan—until she ended up in a similar “so poor” state as Youngun had earlier.
Still, she’d managed to build a hotel on Seoul.

Just once—
If even one person landed there, she had a shot at coming back.
As if fate were nudging her to hang in there, Magia soon landed on the Festival City square.
She dropped 100,000 won of her remaining 200,000 to boost Seoul’s toll to a ridiculous 3 million.
But that left her with only 100,000 won in her pocket.
If she landed on anything on the way around, she’d be done.

Youngun chuckled, clearly amused.
“Gia, if this keeps up, you’re gonna die next turn.”
“C’mon. You don’t even have a loan left.”

“Well, I’ve only got one property left anyway. If I run out of money, I die. But since both of you are heading toward Seoul, this is my one chance to flip things around.”
“Sss. Live and die by the sword, huh? But really, it’s one square. You really think we’ll land on it?”
“Yeah, yeah. You lost this round. Go get some rest.”

“After you, bro.”
“Okay, okay… just don’t roll a six, don’t roll a six…”
— Please!!
— Magia please Magia please heavens above protect our Magia
— first place first place first place first place first place first place first place first place first place first place
— Magia is a woman who only knows first place
— we believe we believe we believe we believe we believe we believe

Maybe the Slug Squad’s desperate prayers actually worked?
[6!]
“Agh!”
Like an uncle handing out pity money to a broke niece,
Crkemang landed square on Seoul.

— KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA
— thinking of his niece as always? CLASSIC Crkemang
— always knew we could trust Uncle lol
— I believed in you, damn it lol
He scraped together the toll payment through a loan, but…
His balance dropped to zero in a heartbeat.

One more step on someone else’s land and he’d have to start selling off his property and buildings.
Magia gave him a sunny smile.
“Thanks, Uncle. That really helped me breathe again.”

“Agh… Just when I thought things were looking up. Why’s it so expensive?!”
“It’s Seoul with a hotel and a festival. You should be grateful it’s not a landmark.”
“Tsk. Doesn’t matter. You’ll lose all that money in one lap. It’s all our land ahead, you know?”

Youngun, now holding the dice, took a jab at Crkemang.
“Man, your bad luck really is something else. Watch this—I’m gonna pull a nine and skip right over it—”
[8!]

“What the—oh, son of a—!”
— LOLOLOLOL
— lololol
— lmao
— haha
Just like Crkemang, Youngun—starting from roughly the same spot—landed right on Seoul too.

He had enough cash to avoid selling anything, but the 3 million won toll left him with only 50,000.
Still, neither of them looked too shaken.
“Yeah, yeah. Use that money to buy some land, catch your breath a bit. Man, I really thought I had this round in the bag.”

“She’s only got one piece of land. We’re still ahead. Just step on more properties and recoup the money, it’s a cycle.”
“Hm… true. But hey bro, how come your analysis is solid here, but your investments in real life are…”
“Say that again, I dare you.”

She might’ve collected the tolls, but Magia only owned Seoul.
Any land she bought would end up profiting Crkemang or Youngun again.
It was a trap—buy land, spread yourself thin, and eventually go bankrupt.

But then—
“I’m not buying any land.”
— ?
— ???
— why not tho
— build assets come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

:: Anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: You’re starting to throw, huh? Trying not to win? ::
:: Anonymous supporter donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Knew this was coming ::
Magia made it clear she had no intention of expanding her land.

“From how things are going today… I feel like I’ll roll an 8 next and head straight to World Travel.”
“Please be serious.”
“Then I’ll go back to start, build a landmark on Seoul, and after that I’m aiming for Desert Island.”

“Kid… your future plans are way too abstract.”
“She’s just young.”
“You’ll see soon enough.”

It sounded like total nonsense, but the moment Magia rolled her dice from the Festival square…
[8!]
Just like she said.

“Wha—?”
“No way.”
— ???
— ?
— I can’t even say it’s rigged anymore
— did she actually turn on the cheats? lol
— 11001101 (she turned it on)
— what even is this lolololololololol

From the World Travel square, she warped back to Start.
Built a landmark on Seoul.
Earned a bonus 300,000 won.
And even upgraded buildings on her properties.
Then—rolled another 8 and locked herself away in Desert Island.
Youngun yelled, incredulous.

“Wait, did you seriously turn it on?!”
“Nope. You sound just like chat.”
“Come on. That kind of luck doesn’t make sense!”

Now the real problem shifted to Crkemang and Youngun.
While Magia was safe for three turns on Desert Island,
They had to pass through a minefield of each other’s properties.
Both were nearly broke. No more loans.
Which meant: land had to be sold.

But maybe it was karma from the last round—this time, fortune sided with Crkemang.
[9!]
“Yes! Desert Island! I’m safe!”

“Goddamn it, if you’re going in too, I’m screwed!”
“What’re you waiting for, throw already!”
“Sss… 9, 9… come on 9…”

Any slip-up meant total destruction, so Youngun chanted like a monk, hoping to hit his own land.
“Now!”
[7!]

“NAILED IT! Golden Key!!”
At least it wasn’t someone else’s property.
But Golden Key spaces come with random effects. Anything could happen.

“Please please please something good…”
— something BAD please
— festival relocation LET’S GOOOOOOO
— festival land please please please
— die die die die die
Youngun wanted to live.
The official Parallel chat wanted him gone.

Maybe fate tilts toward the side with more desperate prayers.
Because the result made everyone burst out laughing:
[Move immediately to the Festival Location!]
[Destination: Seoul]

Youngun screamed.
“OH YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING MEEEE!!”
— LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
— HAHAHAHAHA
— omgggggg
— AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
— goodbye lol
— comedy gold omg
— LMAOOOOO
— how is this real lolololol
