[Who is Magia?]
[Didn’t this guy ask the same question yesterday?]

[So what the hell is Parallel, you weebs?]
[Another VTuber?]
[She’s my wife… 😭😭😭😭]
[Wait, did Magia get a hidden class? LOL]

First Hidden Class Unlocked on Wicker Server
These two posts perfectly captured the mood of Pazijik’s viewers.

[Wicker Town 2 – First Server-Wide Hidden Class: Skeleton Knight]
Hidden Achievement Requirement: Defeat 500 hostile monsters while your HP is below 25%.

(Clip_Magia_Achievement.mp4)
Below is the hidden class information:
[Hidden Class: Skeleton Knight]
— Upon class change, the thirst and hunger gauges are removed. You no longer experience thirst or hunger.
— Attacks against living creatures deal 50% additional damage.
— HP cannot be restored beyond 25% of its maximum value.

Locking max HP at 25% seems kind of brutal, but isn't this a ridiculously good class?
If geared properly, it could completely dominate dungeons.

ㄴ Pazijik354 (OP): Yeah.

— Pazijik242: This makes everything so much clearer, holy sh—
— Pazijik395: Isn’t she just a regular employee? Why is she in the server?
ㄴ Pazijik846: She used a special invite. Parallel approved it.
ㄴ Pazijik731 (OP): Honestly, calling her an employee is misleading. She’s basically a VTuber.
ㄴ Pazijik731 (OP): And no, I’m not calling her my Oshi or anything.
ㄴ Pazijik035: Better than my Oshi, at least.
ㄴ Pazijik035: She only streams like four times a year.
ㄴ Pazijik731 (OP): …Komari mama?

Meanwhile, others were just wondering who Magia was and what she actually did.

There was a stark difference in expectations between these groups.
But in the end, their combined curiosity was what fueled the massive viewer count on Magia’s stream.
[🔴 Live: Wicker Town Season 2 – Parallel Command Center, Day 2] 👪 19,423 viewers
#64Cubics #Parallel
However, if an opportunity isn’t seized, fleeting interest fades just as quickly.

If today’s broadcast was the same as yesterday’s, most would leave within an hour, and the remaining viewers would stabilize at the usual 4,000.
— ?
— What’s up with the screen?
— LOL what is this setup?
— What’s with the command center challengers? LOL
— Show the hidden class!
But today, Magia’s stream was split into six sections.

And in the largest central section, the screen was further divided into two identical halves.
No one could immediately tell which part belonged to the channel’s actual owner.
New viewers couldn’t help but chuckle.

They’d seen 3-split, 6-split, even 9-split screens before.
But breaking up other people’s feeds like YouTube Shorts and scattering them all over the place? That was a first.
— Is Magia the top screen?
— ㄴ No.
— Bottom?
— Bottom.
— Top.
— When’s the hidden class showcase?
— It’s the top.
— No, it’s the bottom.
— Whole chat is just chaos LMAO.
— Up, down, up-up, down-down.
— -TILT-
— Top is Magia, bottom is Dora.
— Got it, makes perfect sense.
— Now show the Skeleton Knight!
Viewers’ amusement quickly turned into full-blown chaos.

Sorting this out was up to the streamer.
For many, how a streamer handled a situation like this determined whether they stayed or left.
It was a crucial fork in the road—where small streamers either blew up or faded into obscurity.

Everyone was now waiting for Magia’s response.
— Why isn’t she saying anything?
— She’s nervous LOL.
— Hidden class showcase when?
After a long pause…
Magia, staring at the chat, finally spoke.

[Welcome to Parallel Command Center. I’m Magia, Parallel’s General Manager. Before we get into the hidden class showcase, let me take five minutes to introduce you to Parallel’s first-gen idols, Another.]
[Just five minutes. I promise I’ll crack your skulls open with knowledge. Then we can do the hidden class test. Deal?]
— ?
— Uhh…
— NOOO
— Protect my skull!
— HIDDEN CLASS!!!!
— I don’t wanna get cracked open 😭
[Great! I’ll take that as a yes. Now, let’s start with this video.]

— Wait, no one agreed to this???
— WHO DECIDED THIS??
— What is happening? LOL
— Hidden class test when???
— She’s just doing whatever she wants.
A regular employee wouldn’t even remember which video was supposed to be played in a situation like this.
But Magia?

She immediately pulled up the 1st Anniversary Song MV.
A flawlessly produced, high-energy idol performance—the perfect way to establish dominance.
Rather than over-explaining concepts and characters, she followed the age-old wisdom:
“Show, don’t tell.”

Marketing Director Oh Seok-jae’s advice was paying off.
:: Anonymous Donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: Sir, your five minutes expired ten minutes ago. ::
[Thank you so much. I asked for just five minutes, but you generously sat through a full fifteen minutes of introductions. As a manager, I truly appreciate your patience.]

— Excuse me?
— Now can we see the hidden class?
— SHOW THE SKELETON KNIGHT!
— Keep this up, and I’ll send you straight to irrelevancy.
— You’re getting burned at the stake for this.
[Since you’ve already spent fifteen minutes, why not add another five?]
— ???
— NO WAY LOL
— She’s insane
— SKELETON KNIGHT WHEN?????

By now, viewers were desperate to steer the conversation back.
:: Anonymous Donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: Why aren’t you introducing yourself, Magia? ::
[Thank you for 10,000 Clouds! Magia doesn’t exist on Earth-666. Try looking in Earth-896 instead.]

— LMAO
— Magia the shameless queen
— You’re literally a VTuber.
— She just didn’t do a debut stream yet.
At this point, Magia wasn’t even trying to hide it—she was just a shameless VTuber roleplaying as an employee.
If this wasn’t the skillset of a professional streamer, then what was?

Honestly, her broadcast sense completely obliterated most small-time VTubers.
It was almost suspicious—like Parallel had hired a real-world broadcaster to be a VTuber for marketing purposes.
With 20,000 viewers, it wouldn’t have been surprising if she started losing control of the situation.
But even while introducing the members, she never stopped farming—
Her min-maxing never paused, and the monster hunting continued.

:: Anonymous donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: Show us your ultimate move! ::
[Should I just end the stream?]
— STOP.
— WHAT THE HELL LOL
— WHY IS THAT YOUR ULTIMATE MOVE?
— That’s not how this works!!

:: Anonymous donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: Just show us one special move! ::
[Unfortunately, all my special moves are inside my stomach, so I can’t show them to you.]
— ???
— EXCUSE ME???

At this point, Magia was just a shameless VTuber roleplaying as an employee.
If this wasn’t the work of a professional streamer, then what was?
Her broadcasting sense completely crushed most small-time VTubers—so much so that people might start wondering if Parallel hired a real-life pro broadcaster to be a VTuber for marketing purposes.

With 20,000 viewers, it would’ve been normal for her to get overwhelmed.
But even while introducing the members, she never stopped grinding—mining resources, hunting monsters, and casually obliterating mobs in the background.

[…….]
— Don’t ignore the donation, LOL
— Wow, cold-blooded.
— Actually ruthless.

:: Your cardboard cutout is cute. ::
[Ah, this was drawn by Akari Dora, our first-gen talent. Pretty amazing art skills, huh?]
— LMAO, the way she instantly turns it into promo.
— Ayo, what the hell.
— That was meant as a compliment to YOU.
— The escape artist at work again, LOL.

[Oh, speaking of Dora, looks like she just lost all her gear and is absolutely devastated. Let’s check in on her.]
This translation is the intellectual property of .
— Wait, huh?
— Yeah, let’s see.
— Sure, why not? LOL
— HELLO?? SKELETON KNIGHT SHOWCASE WHEN?!

By now, the "quick five-minute promo" had stretched to 40 minutes.
Viewers who had come just to see the hidden class were starting to leave—and the numbers dropped to 15,000.
But Magia did not care.
Even if only 3,000 people remained, she would still do what she had to do.

Her mindset?
"If I keep showing you interesting content, what are you gonna do about it?"
And honestly, despite the chat descending into complete chaos,
there were still people laughing along with the videos she shared—
which meant that Magia’s aggressive marketing campaign was nowhere near stopping.

— ME.
— LMAOOOOO
— WHEN ARE YOU SHOWING THE HIDDEN CLASS, DAMMIT?!
— HIDDEN CLASS WHEN?? HIDDEN CLASS WHEN?? HIDDEN CLASS WHEN?? HIDDEN CLASS WHEN?? HIDDEN CLASS WHEN??
— Okay but this is actually funny.
— SKELETON KNIGHT! SKELETON KNIGHT! SKELETON KNIGHT! SKELETON KNIGHT! SKELETON KNIGHT! SKELETON KNIGHT!
— Bro, can we get rid of the "Hidden Class Only" viewers?
— AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
— SHOW. THE. SKELETON. KNIGHT.
— Why do these new viewers have nothing else to talk about???
— HOW ARE YOU STILL LAUGHING. HOW ARE YOU STILL LAUGHING. HOW ARE YOU STILL LAUGHING.
— Damn, she knows a lot of funny moments, LOL.
— AO!! AKA!! MURASAKI!! AO!! AKA!! MURASAKI!!
— HURRY UP.
— ROCK.
At this point, the stream was a bomb ready to explode.
And then—Pino saved the day.

:: Pino donated 100,000 Clouds! ::
:: Skeleton Knight Showcase 1. ::
With a 100,000 Cloud donation, five monsters spawned in.

Three zombies.
One skeleton.
And one mid-tier witch, a living creature that threw fireballs from a distance.
Skeleton Knight’s passive:
💀 +50% damage against living enemies.

Most monsters took two to three hits to go down—
But the mid-tier witch?
She got one-shotted.
Even as Magia kept narrating about her teammates' videos,
she casually parried an incoming fireball and beheaded the witch in one fluid motion.

— Oh.
— That damage, LOL.
— Damn, that’s clean.
For viewers who had been watching since yesterday, this was a familiar sight.
But for newcomers—Magia’s combat skills were fascinating.
Every slash = a clean headshot.

:: Pino donated 100,000 Clouds! ::
:: Skeleton Knight Showcase 3. ::
— Damn, they’re dropping like flies.
— Why is her aim so good?!
— That’s some insane precision.

And the whole time?
Her HP bar was barely hanging on.
She danced between enemies, dodging by mere pixels
while her Diamond Sword effortlessly cleaved through enemies before they could even touch her.
:: Pino donated 100,000 Clouds! ::

:: Skeleton Knight Showcase 7. ::
— Wait, is she seriously not healing??
— I thought the low HP thing was just for fun, WHY IS SHE ACTUALLY DOING IT?
— She’s crazy, LOL.
An incoming fireball from behind?
Magia parried it without even turning around.

And instead of just deflecting it,
she angled it perfectly to hit another enemy.
Even the most experienced 64Cubics backseat gamers in chat were impressed.
:: Pino donated 100,000 Clouds! ::

:: Skeleton Knight Showcase 10. ::
— Holy sh—
— Her combat skills are actually cracked.
— Forget the class bonuses, she’s just straight-up better than everyone else.
Magia sliced through 50 monsters like they were nothing.

She didn’t just earn her Hidden Class—she proved she deserved it.
But to her, this wasn’t even the main event.
This?
This was just part of her routine.
Clearing mobs so she could focus on mining.

Even mid-fight, Magia was thinking.
"Ending the promo here feels like such a waste."
"There’s still so much more I haven’t shown about them."
[🔴 Live: Wicker Town Season 2 – Parallel Command Center, Day 2] 👪 16,241 viewers

But the moment her blade went berserk, the viewers surged back.
And Magia had a realization.
"Maybe I went a little overboard on the promo for the new viewers."

Because there are different kinds of viewers.
When someone is already interested in the thing you’re promoting,
you can just throw content at them and they’ll eat it up.
Like during Parallel’s pre-debut events,
where people actively searched for VTuber content.

But if they’re not already invested?
Just shoving content in their faces doesn’t work.
It’s better to draw them in first—make them interested in YOU.

And that’s when Magia remembered what Marketing Director Oh Seok-jae told her earlier today.
"This is an advanced technique, but you’re still a newbie, so just listen for now. Someday, you’ll have an ‘Aha! So this is what he meant’ moment."
"Okay."

"So, I advertise a product. There are two reactions: ‘Wow, this is great!’ and ‘Huh. So what?’ The first group is easy—they’re already convinced. But what about the second group?"
"…I don’t know?"
"You hook them.
Even if they don’t care about the product, they’ll consider it if someone they like recommends it."

So Magia adjusted her approach.
Instead of forcing the promo…
She was going to make them WANT to stay.

And to do that—she needed an excuse to bring everyone together.
Then, she glanced at her inventory.
Two compressed diamond stacks.

That was 1,152 raw diamonds.
Worth 70,000 WK.
Time to make an offer.

[Whisper] Magia: Maru, bring Dora to the plaza. Let’s do a song. Then we can all mine together.
[Whisper] Maru: Really?!
[Whisper] Maru: …Wait.
[Whisper] Maru: This makes me seem too easy.
[Whisper] Maru: Give me 10,000 WK and I’ll think about it.
Magia made her final offer.
[Whisper] Magia: One stack of compressed diamonds.

And just like that—Maru’s grudge from yesterday vanished.
[Whisper] Maru: WHERE ARE YOU I’M COMING RIGHT NOW.
