“Siege War, huh?”
─”Yes. The mock Siege War is scheduled for early April.”
“I was just thinking about asking, but I didn’t expect Yena to mention it first.”
“I didn’t look at the message closely back then, but I heard many rankers, streamers, and professionals, including Yena, will be participating.”
As I put the empty bowl in the sink, I kept listening to the conversation.
─”First of all, Lady Lily, if you participate, you’ll be ranked as a ‘General’ in the streamer category, meaning there will be skilled players like me in that position.”
“Hmm…”
─”The basic rule is simple: fight your way through the defenders and destroy the enemy base’s ‘Core’ to win the game. You can learn the various auxiliary systems over the next 3-4 weeks.”
“Oh, I see.”
─”But if you don’t want to participate, you don’t have to…”
“No, it sounds fun!”
For some reason, I thought it would be enjoyable. I had some thoughts about participating anyway, but hearing Yena’s words made me want to join even more.
“I’ll do it.”
■
I created an email.
Yena said that an email is essential for broadcasting-related matters or finding a NewTube editor, so I decided to set one up.
By the way, I, even 30 years ago, had an email, but that one completely disappeared.
I’m not sure if it was deleted or if the existence of my past self just vanished, but it’s a mystery.
Regardless, I crudely put the email address at the bottom of the channel banner with a note saying all broadcast inquiries should go here.
Now that I have an email, I won’t have to worry about my inbox exploding.
After that, I found the message from the streamer named Black and replied to participate in the mock Siege War.
“I need to get started on NewTube, too.”
Procrastinating only makes things worse. I’m not living such a tight life that I have to handle every task rigorously, but I should get things done promptly.
When I logged onto NewTube, a combination of red and white backgrounds filled my vision.
To create an account, I needed to verify using the email I just made…
“Wow, 100 messages already.”
It had barely been five minutes since I added the email to the banner, and there were already 100 messages.
When will I go through all those?
I quickly grabbed the verification code from the mailbox and closed the email.
I’ll check that later.
Although I said I shouldn’t procrastinate, that one can wait a bit.
Anyway, I successfully created an account, and now I needed to choose a name.
“Should I just go with Lily?”
Most NewTubers either append ‘NewTube’ to the front or just put their nickname plainly.
After a brief moment of contemplation, I decided to stick with Lily.
I just decided to go with Lily.
Lily is the simplest and the best.
And just like that, an account with 0 subscribers, completely empty, was born at this moment.
I should also include this in the TikTok banner…
I thought about just copying the TikTok replay for the video, but I stopped.
It doesn’t seem right to upload a 7-8 hour video on NewTube when there’s already a TikTok replay.
I’ll need to find an editor to upload the edited video.
I haven’t done much, but somehow it’s already past noon.
What should I have for lunch?
—
“So, is this person participating?”
“No, I think we need someone else.”
“If we include them, won’t the balance be completely off?”
“That gets resolved if we include Lord Leo.”
Black, the host of the mock siege war and captain of team one, is discussing with the ranker mage ‘Freytion,’ who is also participating in the same siege.
They’re primarily talking about the balance of the mock siege, team selection, and team composition.
Due to the presence of so many famous personalities and rankers, just talking about them has pushed the viewer count past 60,000.
[Is Choco really coming?]
[Looking forward to this mock siege lineup!]
[The lineup is lit!]
[Black’s team seems likely to win.]
[Leo is strong!]
[Leo is such a dog.]
[?]
[So, can we bring Lily?]
[Choco’s spring isn’t far off, but they’re doing this, haha!]
[Is Lily joining?]
[Lily]
[I think Miss Yena will participate, so she might.]
The mage Freytion, with his pure white hair, looked back at Black as if in anticipation.
“By the way, is Lady Lily participating? If Lady Lily joins, it’ll be an unprecedented mock siege.”
“I’ve mentioned it first, but I’m not sure.”
“Oh, it would be amazing if she does. Pro with a spear vs. super rookie with a spear, right?”
Among professionals, he’s the only ranker who can wield dual spears and is a main member of one of the top three teams in the pro scene.
With unbelievable skill and charisma, he’s become such a topic of controversy that he might even be suspected of cheating as a super rookie.
If the two face off, who would win?
Many are curious and excited about this lineup.
[For real.]
[Spear vs. dual spears—a breathtaking showdown…]
[But still, Choco’s skills are no joke.]
[He might be at general level, but if it’s Choco, he should be a grand general—not a match, right?]
[Grand general is pushing it.]
[Has Lily seen Black’s message?]
[Lol!]
[I doubt she has.]
[From what I heard, her message inbox is at +999, and she hasn’t seen most of them.]
[No hope there.]
“…I did mention that part, but don’t get your hopes up too high. From what I’ve seen of Lady Lily’s streams, the chances of her participating are pretty slim.”
Desperate, Yena handed over some dungeon locations and guild resources to Lily, but even Yena isn’t completely holding on to Lily.
With the determination to catch someone, I handed over the dungeon location and some guild supplies to Yena, who is close to Lily, but Yena isn’t completely keeping Lily under wraps either.
She only asked me to inquire, and there’s always a chance Lily could refuse the offer.
Of course, even if she does refuse, it’s not like she’d ask for the supplies back, but it would still sting a bit.
Thinking that, I glanced at the message box I had seen numerous times already.
Oh?
[Ah]
[Just stick with it somehow]
[Just head over to Lily when she’s broadcasting and beg]
[LMAO]
[Honestly, what’s the fun without Lily? 😭]
[I miss Lily]
[Let’s say we’ll make Lily a Grand General and bring her over]
[Can’t we do something with Yena?]
“Hey, everyone, it’s going to go on even without Lady Lily. Black has put together a solid lineup this time, and some pros are joining, so don’t be like that…”
“…Enough.”
“Huh?”
“Enough!”
[?]
[One hit?]
[What? LMAO]
[Did a reply come?]
[Dreams do come true LMAO]
[Crazy]
[Can we see a match between Choco and Lily?]
[Lily’s new YouTube channel is up!]
[What did they say?]
It seems like reaching out to Yena was the right choice.
If it weren’t, there wouldn’t be any responses by now.
Black, looking excited, opened his mouth quickly.
“They say they will. With that, team formation is underway, and we’ll select a team leader and team on March 7th.”
“Will everyone be there then?”
“As long as they have time. Anyway, team selection is up to team leaders to choose and balance out, so as long as the team leaders are there, that’s all that matters.”
[Who will be the team leader?]
[Looking forward to it]
[Isn’t this mock siege battle going to be way better than the real one? LMAO]
[For real LMAO]
[Lily for Team Leader?]
[Lily Team Leader, let’s go~]
[I think Leo will be this time]
[Lily is too new for team leader though…]
“If you’re gonna do it, let Yena handle it LMAO”
[LMAO]
[-Yes-]

After having a light lunch, I logged into Deoen.
The arena was the first thing I saw as soon as I connected.
Although it’s much smaller than the statue on the main continent, it still has a certain majesty to it.
I stared at the statue for a moment before coming back down.
Since I decided to focus on the siege war rather than just battling, I felt the need to level up.
What I lack right now isn’t physical ability or skills but ‘mana’. And the missing ‘holy’.
Finding both of those is the top priority.
-Hunting Broadcast
I turned on the broadcast with a short title.
As soon as I did, an overwhelming number of viewers came pouring in as if they had been waiting.
Incoming viewers.
[Lilha!]
[Lilha]
[LilhaLilha]
[RLH]
[Hunting?]
[Lilha! Lilha! Lilha! Lilha! Lilha! Lilha! Lilha! Lilha! Lilha!]
[Aren’t we doing Siege War?]
[Doing Siege War?]
[Are you doing it with Yena?]
[What are we doing today?]
[‘God of Afternoon Rooms’ descends]
[Doing Siege War? Doing Siege War? Doing Siege War? Doing Siege War? Doing Siege War? Doing Siege War?]
[What’s this, donations are open?]
“Welcome.”
The chat window is as lively as ever today.
Speaking of which, I should hire a manager along with the editor.
I’m cutting out profanity and sexual jokes whenever they pop up, but with so many viewers, it’s hard to deal with them all, and the definition of spam is a bit ambiguous, so I’m letting it slide for now.
Actually, a little bit of spam can be quite entertaining.
[RaiKrak donated 50,000 won.]
─Aren’t you doing Siege War?
Today, it’s from 50,000 won to start.
You can ask anything with just 10,000 won.
“Thank you, RaiKrak! Yes, we decided to hold a mock Siege War today.”
[Oh]
[Oh]
[Lily joins the fray, whoa]
[Pros, rankers in emergency mode, whoa! The Lily of the Warblade is coming!]
[Are you participating because of Yena?]
[Lily in a Siege War… that’s a rarity]
[Is Yena making you do this?]
[Now that I think about it, wasn’t the dungeon location given to us by the Black Moon received by Yena?]
[??]
What’s that about?
I shook my head while heading to the hunting ground using the new continent map.
“It’s not because someone is making me do it. I just thought it looked fun. If I can fight against pros, we can have a fun battle too.”
I wonder how skilled the pros really are.
And if they really give it their all, how much power will they unleash?
I’m getting curious.
[podoba donated 10,000 won.]
─Breaking news) Lily stated that fighting with pros is just ‘for fun’. Shock…
“…Huh?”
[Whoa]
[Whoa whoa]
[Lolololol]
“Oh lol, to Lily, pros are just toys, huh?”
[For real lol]
[Fact, all of it]
[Lily’s confidence lol]
