I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

Chapter 12: Streamer Han Se-Ah 2

Before dawn, I wake up to the sound of a rooster crowing.

Though the sound of the rooster echoing through the dim streets is irritating, I have to tolerate it.

That rooster belongs to the innkeeper who provided me with free meals during my days as a novice adventurer.

If I were to count the number of eggs I've eaten thanks to that rooster, I'd be the one who should be crowing.

My high-performance body quickly dispels sleepiness the moment my feet touch the floor.

It's hard to get used to how quickly my mind clears before I even have the chance to wash my face.

[Teach Basic Magic to Han Se-ah 5/5 CLEAR]

[Reward: Alert for Han Se-ah's stream]

As I rub my eyes, I see something unexpected.

No way, she's already learned basic magic?

What happened so early in the morning, before the sun even rose?

As I head to the bathroom and turn on the hot water for a shower, I naturally check the forum.

I never thought I'd be wasting time browsing the web while showering in hot water in this world.

-Water Magic vs Fire Magic

-Is Chidori possible with magic application?

-Amidst all this, someone becomes a mage

-Sex

-If NPCs also get magic, how do we compete?

As I slowly read through the forum, which has many more posts than before I went to bed, I get a rough idea of the situation.

I thought the stream had ended when the chat stopped, but she only took a break and continued with a late-night stream.

Raei Translations

Adventurer mages have to pay the Magic Tower to learn magic, but it seems that she spent the night with her viewers learning common skills through the skill window and creating a skill tree.

Judging by the fact that the quest had exactly five spells, it seems the limit of the skill window is five.

'In the midst of all this, the fact that a mage's talent is random... This game's foundation is like a gacha game, no joke.'

I can't recall who, but someone in the chat kept spreading news about other streamers.

There were stories about a female cam girl who cried because she couldn't become a mage, and an older male streamer who was kicked out after receiving shock magic from a receptionist while causing a scene demanding to learn magic.

-Amidst all this, someone becomes a mage

-[This post has been reported and blocked]

-If NPCs also get magic, how do we compete?

-It seems like going to the guild is the way to meet Master Roland

-If BB Games is bought, will she give apartments to subscribers?

TThe forum remains active even as I wash my hair.

Since the chat isn't active, she probably went to sleep after choosing basic magic.

After an afternoon stream and a late-night one, she likely sleeps in the morning.

I wonder if Han Se-ah will come to the Adventurer's Guild in the afternoon.

I used to rush to the guild as soon as the sun rose to secure cost-effective missions during my days as a novice adventurer living from hand to mouth, but that's an old story.

My bank account is stacked with gold coins since I chose a stable life instead of climbing the tower, so I can take my time.

I have enough gold coins to raise Han Se-ah into a high-ranking adventurer.

After enjoying the convenience of hot water showers and hairdryers provided by the magic civilization, I head outside and make my way to my regular inn. It's a bit dated for a lodging, but the food is great, and I owe a debt of gratitude to the innkeeper.

Usually, I'd be drunk and sprawled out at this time, but instead, I came out for breakfast, surprising the busy innkeeper.

"What brings you here for breakfast?"

"I plan to train a junior, so I'll be showing my face in the morning for a while."

The plump, small-statured landlady, with a generous spirit to match, greeted me cheerfully.

Some glanced at me briefly, but most stared blankly at my face, mouths agape.

She shared various stories, such as how I ate there as a novice adventurer or how I couldn't forget the taste of her food even after becoming a mid-ranking adventurer.

Her generous servings attracted novice adventurers with thin wallets.

Stories of high-ranking adventurers were also effective in attracting customers.

"Training a junior? Time flies, from a novice adventurer who didn't even know the guild's location to someone nurturing juniors..."

"Hehe, that's an old story."

I had come to the inn as a novice adventurer, introduced by a senior adventurer.

This was the only inn and restaurant where one could eat their fill for a few coins.

The quality of the food was also much better than other inns, so it was no surprise that it was popular.

I endured the gazes of people who looked like novice adventurers as I warmed my insides with a steaming stew in a corner seat.

[Han Se-ah's stream has started!]

[Han Se-ah: Getting homework checked by senior~]

A hologram appeared in the air, catching his attention.

'So this is the alert function.'

Just as notifications appeared on his smartphone for new videos from his favorite streamers in the real world, the hologram informed him of Han Se-ah's stream starting.

It was the reward for the previous quest.

He wished he could argue about the quality of such a reward, but it was actually quite useful.

After all, he had to follow Han Se-ah around like a stalker.

***

Judging by the live stream, time flowed at a 1:1 ratio with the real world.

Despite learning magic until dawn, she's already logged back in?

There's no way she's running a crazy schedule of 3 hours of sleep and 21 hours of streaming, right?

"Are you leaving already? The meat will be ready soon."

"Give that to the hungry ones over there."

"Ay... who throws a gold coin for a bowl of stew?!"

As part of image management and returning favors, I handed the innkeeper a gold coin before quickly leaving the inn.

It might seem a bit materialistic, but leaving a good impression like this would bring in more personal requests.

In a world without IDs or CCTV, where you have to rely solely on personal trust to get requests, living kindly enough to be spread through word of mouth brings rewards.

And it's even more important if it's with someone in the same industry.

I'm not the world's strongest hero, so it's not like I don't have to work with lower-ranking adventurers.

When accepting requests, I occasionally form temporary parties with intermediate or experienced beginner adventurers.

"Ah, Roland!"

As I leisurely stroll down the street, I hear someone call my name from a distance.

Han Se-ah, standing in front of the Adventurer's Guild, waves her staff in one hand and energetically waves her other hand.

She captures the attention of the beginner adventurers who look exhausted and worn out from life.

Intermediate adventurers don't usually line up at the guild door as soon as it opens since their income increases significantly, and they start receiving personal requests.

"I learned some magic!"

"Let's go inside and talk."

A neat and clean, although second-hand, equipped beauty who has learned magic.

The gazes of some people, especially female beginner adventurers, turn fierce.

In a world without rights or welfare, many women become adventurers to survive, and those without talent end up dead or as prostitutes, so they can't help but envy the well-established Han Se-ah.

We enter the guild, receiving the full attention of the onlookers.

At the counter, a female staff member other than Ellis is sorting paperwork with sleepy eyes.

I glance at her briefly and head to an empty table.

Beginner adventurers with empty pockets crowd around the request board, so I pass on taking a request.

It doesn't look good to steal a few coins from those who have nothing.

"You've learned magic since we last met?"

"After we parted ways yesterday, I wanted to train more, so I learned some magic."

As she sits down opposite me and takes a quick look around, she smiles brightly.

She must be confident in the five magic skills she developed with her viewers until dawn.

She seems eager to show off her newfound abilities.

"First, I learned a shield spell."

"Good, I was worried you might have learned something impractical."

"Impractical?"

I had already checked what magic Han Se-ah learned through the forum, but I pretended not to know in order to tell stories about adventurers on her stream.

As one of the first to play this game, stories shared by a 6 NPC would be popular among viewers.

I can't count how many times I've experienced nonsensical things in a world without basic education like elementary school in my ten years here.

Dying due to a cape is a relatively mild case.

We caught up! I think we're going for 4 or 5/week, not sure yet. Advance/bonus chapters will be available later as well.

Gotta learn some terminology as well. Not really a twitch watcher...

Also currently rewriting all the chapters for my other novels and this one as well.

Enjoy the chappy!
