If you’re uncomfortable, sit up straight.

“Ugly.”

Kesarex was reaching the extreme of ugliness.

After losing, to think he would go as far as posting his genitals, how could someone with two balls do something so disgusting?

The girl should have been him, not me.

Normally, I would have cursed him happily and then turned off the computer, but…

That guy who copied money with Bitcoin appeared and put a 1 million won prize, so I had no choice but to turn the cam on obediently.

How could I resist 1 million won?

When the Coronavirus appeared and schools switched to online classes, I had to buy it, the one with terrible video quality.

Maybe if it was a professor, it wouldn’t matter, but students don’t need good quality, so that’s fine.

After setting it up, I connected the video chat with him.

[What’s this? Haha, why are his hands so pretty? Hahaha.]

[Typical basement dweller.]

[He never goes outside, look how pale his skin is. Haha.]

[How does a guy’s fingers look like that? Gross.]

[Who said he’s a guy? Probably a cute girl.]

I flinched.

“Just talking nonsense, but there was one guy who nailed it, and for a moment, I got chills.”

How does small, pretty hands connect to something disgusting?

It’s because of dissonance.

What’s considered good about men is usually not good for women, and what’s good for women is usually not good for men.

With a woman’s body and a man’s mind, I must be a horrible monster to anyone who looks at me.

Enough of the pointless thoughts.

Let’s just win that 1 million won quickly.

What should I do with 1 million won?

I haven’t decided yet, but I can think about it slowly after I win it.

I turned on screen sharing and opened a keyboard test program, the standard for handcam verification.

It’s a program that shows which key you press on the screen immediately.

I also opened a notepad next to it, ready to type text.

“Watch carefully. I’m going to show you that these hands are mine.”

[?]

[?]

[?]

[????]

[What?]

[You’re saying the manager is a woman?]

[Shut up.]

[It’s probably just that he hasn’t hit puberty yet, haha.]

[The kid’s voice is squeaky, but it’s not that, just sounds like a woman’s voice.]

The chat box started getting flooded with hooks.

I cleanly ignored it and did my thing.

“Q, W, E, R… Ga, Na , Da, Ra, Kesarex, you dumbass, get your dick off. Aren’t you embarrassed after losing and doing that?”

As I spoke, I typed the text into the notepad,

And with the keyboard test program, I had a triple authentication system.

At this point, there shouldn’t be anyone who thinks I’m faking it.

If I’m going to authenticate, I might as well do it thoroughly.

After all, 1 million won is on the line.

[After hearing the voice, I think the manager is right.]

[Her voice is seriously amazing.]

[So ugly! Kesarex!]

[If it were me, I would have removed the trans thing, haha.]

[Kesarex (MTF), I’ll see you again.]

[What’s MTF?]

[Male to female. A transgender from male to female.]

[Eww, gross, haha.]

As expected, it wasn’t intentional, but…

Being forced to go from a man to a woman made me feel weird just seeing those chats.

It was… unsettling, I guess.

[Heh, your voice sounds so good, Miss.]

[Shut up. The guy acting like that was actually a woman?]

[The top-ranked player in the dueling arena is actually a cute girl!?]

[A cute girl? Nah, probably just some pig-feminist.]

[Are you experiencing cognitive dissonance? Does it make sense for a pig’s hands to look like that?]

[Just from the voice, I can tell she’s not a pig, for real.]

[Then you must be a skinny feminist, idiot.]

[You act like a devil but sound like an angel? Are you Lucifer?]

[Noona!!! V, do the V!!!]

Suddenly, the chat started splitting into those who were praising me and those who were cursing me.

Why are they asking me to do a V all of a sudden?

[Oh my! Noona saw my message!!!]

[Shut the hell up, shut the hell up. These trash people who can’t get off their ass when the gender shows up, the cancer of society.]

[But aren’t you also watching the broadcast at this time? You’re a damn loser, a hardcore gamer, right?]

[It’s the weekend, idiot.]

[I didn’t know that, hehe, oops.]

[Hehe, oops, you wanna die for real, haha.]

Is it really that exciting for them when a woman looks at the chat and reacts?

How badly have they never met a woman before to act like this?

I may be a virgin, but I can’t imagine being so thirsty for a woman I only see on the internet, just her hand in the frame.

What a sad bunch of people.

“Ready to go for the duel?”

“Ah, yes.”

Why is he using formal language all of a sudden?

He was using informal language just a moment ago, what the hell.

Is it really that amazing that a woman is famous in the game and a dueling arena ranker?

I think it’s damn amazing too.

Not amazing, it’s just impossible.

Except for strange exceptions like me, who’s been tricked by fate.

“What was the friend list key again?”

“P, next to it, that one.”

Following Kesarex’s instructions, I opened the friend list.

If I said ‘I,’ it would be the closing bracket, so he was probably referring to that.

[Friend list 0, hahaha.]

[Hasn’t the manager been playing the game for over a year?]

[I saw them stuck in the spring of last year, at least a year, hahaha.]

[One lonely wolf, the manager…]

[Noona, please accept my friend request, baby milk dealer <<<<]

[Would anyone want to accept a friend request like that?]

[It would be lucky if you don’t get sued, for real.]

After sending a friend request to Kesarex,

I noticed that more than 30 friend requests had piled up.

I can’t stand unnecessary notifications, so I just rejected all of them.

[Public execution, hahaha.]

[Should I block all the people whose names appear?]

[Cold city woman manager… that’s why she’s even more attractive…]

[These buffaloes are disgusting, ugh, gross.]

“Why didn’t you accept the friend request?”

“Ah, yes. Yes.”

“Why are you freezing up like this?”

“I’m s-sorry.”

[What’s Kesarex???]

[Holy shit, I’ve never seen someone freeze up just because the voice chat opponent is a woman, hahaha.]

[I knew it, you’re a virgin.]

[Aren’t you just an average basement-dwelling loser?]

It was weird from the moment he suddenly switched to formal speech, and then this guy, was he really the type who freezes just hearing a woman’s voice?

I mean, what the hell, it’s not like she’s right in front of him, it’s just voice chat, how the hell do you freeze up over that? I really want to dissect his human structure.

Anyway, since he finally accepted my friend request,

I could start a friendly match, which can only be done after being added as a friend.

“Play properly, okay? If you choke and win, you’re gonna be cursed again.”

[A woman who uses hidden text like breathing. That’s rare.]

[Why does she keep talking about men’s private parts? Are you a shemale?]

[Oh! Should I measure the angle? Do you want to get sued?]

[The noodles and sesame oil fought, and the noodles got arrested. Why? The answer is because the sesame oil sued, kekekek.]

His brain might be frozen, but when it comes to the dueling arena, when you go over 1000 games, your body seems to remember.

He showed some decent skills.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was anywhere near my level.

The score, as always, was 3:0.

There is a gap between you and me that can never be crossed.

“Hey, you idiot. Don’t you know you should use your counter-attacks in order when you’re at a distance? If you do it in order, no one can dodge that.”

“What? Ah! Yes!?”

[Wow, Kesarex, I’m so jealous. The manager even remembers the pattern.]

[What kind of boss mob is this? Haha.]

[Could be. In this shitty, stagnating game, you always face the same top dueling arena players, hahaha.]

[But do you usually memorize your opponent’s patterns like that?]

[How serious is she about the game, Noona!!! Affinity +100.]

[If the affinity goes up, isn’t that bad? (I really don’t know.)]

“Anyway, I won, right? The 1 million won is mine, right?”

Heh heh heh.

Suddenly thinking that I’d have 1 million won made me feel really good.

[Would they actually give it to you? Of course, they’d just scam you, hahaha.]

[For real, if it were me, I’d just take the money and run, hahaha.]

Reading the chat made me feel a little uneasy.

I thought there was no way someone who cares about their reputation like this would scam, but 1 million won is enough to make someone do bad things.

If I scam and run, would I be reported for fraud or embezzlement?

I don’t think so, though…

“Surely… you’re not trying to not give it to me, right?”

“Of course, I will give it to you! Yes, I’ll send it. Definitely.”

[Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.]

[The voice sounds so nervous, it’s insane.]

[Can’t stand the slightly gloomy voice;;;;;]

[What will you do if you can’t stand it, you bastard?]

[I already pulled my pants down.]

[I, Choi Jin-hyuk, officially recognize the manager as the official goddess of the LoFa gallery.]

[Oh, they’re cursing. The buffaloes are really something else.]

[I’ve been wronged by the manager, but I’ve decided to forgive them today.]

What’s up with the chat?

Is my voice really that nice?

I’ve heard it sounds different to others than it does to myself.

I’m not sure.

[Alright, let’s go for the execution.]

[Kesak, Kesak, Kesak, Kesak, Kesak!]

[Another big star fades away…]

[If you got wrecked 6:0, it wasn’t really a big star, right? (Really not sure.)]

[The manager may have fewer games, but their skill is definitely god-tier, haha.]

[What do you mean fewer games? What’s that about?]

[Just a genius with too much talent.]

[Gaming genius, cute girl? I really can’t stand it.]

[What will you do if you can’t stand it, you son of a bitch?]

[You haven’t even seen her face, and you’re calling her a cute girl? Just because you can’t see her face, you losers start daydreaming, hahaha.]

[Why is this guy so angry? Is he too immersed in the game?]

[Who knows, maybe his life’s a mess, and he’s just angry all the time.]

“Everyone, I’ve thought about it, and I think Kesak is too harsh.”

[?]

[???]

[I’ve never seen such a merciful manager.]

[How could you feel bad when 1 million won is on the line? Hahaha.]

[On the line? Oh my God.]

[Is this financial therapy?]

“If you send me 300,000 gold, I’ll pretend the Kesak thing never happened.”

[As expected.]

[She’s trying to suck all the way to the bone, that evil woman.]

[Is this the moment for rice-money?]

[But it’s actually beneficial for me. Kesarex probably spent at least 3 million raising her character.]

[That’s true.]
