“Is it not a hack or a bug?”
“Yeah. It’s not, according to above.”
About four days had passed since the staff member Ijina had reported an eccentric user she discovered during a user inspection to her superior, and she received a somewhat puzzling response.
It was said that the player was purely playing, not a hack or bug.
But the part that puzzled her wasn’t that.
“Above? Where is above?”
“…Why are you asking that? It’s above, it is.”
“No, there are lots of ‘above.’ This isn’t even the headquarters.”
Right in the center of Seoul stands Nutri Company, boasting one of the largest scales among Korean companies, but this wasn’t the headquarters.
Subsidiaries of Nutri Company were already spread across the world, and this was just one of the many companies, the ‘Korea branch.’
The headquarters was said to be somewhere in the US, but to be honest, she wasn’t even sure if that was true.
Having gotten a job as a low-ranking employee, she realized there was no known information about it.
Her superior, the Assistant Manager, responded languidly while staring at the screen of the computer sitting on a quiet desk.
The desk was clean, with hardly any traces of work or documents.
“Enough, enough. Don’t get curious unnecessarily. You think it’s easy to get in here? You’ll get cut if you stand out. This company really hates anything that’s odd.”
“……”
“Isn’t it comfortable here? All we have to do is conduct user inspections and prepare for events. Why dig into things?”
“It’s because I’m curious. It’s been half a year since I joined, and all I’m doing is user inspections.”
Ijina enjoyed being a salary thief, but the real issue was that she was forced to do it even if she didn’t want to.
She had graduated from a good university, built a solid profile, and squeezed through a competitive selection process only to do user inspections.
‘This isn’t what I signed up for.’
Seeing Ijina sulking, the Assistant Manager sighed and started typing.
The only thing they were particularly concerned about was Deoen’s official site.
“Stop standing around and post something about this Lilly person not being a hack in the notice. It’s causing a big fuss these days.”
“Okay. Got it.”
“And get ready for the Siege War since it’s going to get busy then. If you have nothing to do, that is.”
The Assistant Manager waved his hand dismissively, and Ijina slightly bowed her head and returned to her seat.
Just like the Assistant Manager, her desk didn’t show much evidence of work.
Well, I guess I’ll just do what I’ve been doing.
Honestly, there isn’t a company quite like this one.
One employee began typing like a cog in the machine.
Hello. This is the operation team of the Devil of Angel._
The Sagwi is the most common and numerous creature of Deoen.
It’s like the slimes often found in fantasy worlds or the orange mushrooms from a certain game.
Perhaps because of that, there were many monsters related to Sagwi everywhere.
The spear moves.
The black Sagwi gets sliced apart by the sharp spearhead.
Bodies shatter, and multiple beings get pierced at once.
Soon after, the Sagwi running from behind see the corpses of their kin and seem to flee in terror.
[Seeing this makes me feel sorry for the Sagwi]
[ㅠㅠㅠㅠPoor Sagwi]
[Sagwi are life too.]
[?]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The Sagwi are technically dead so they’re “not life” haha]
[Life (but not life)]
[That Sagwi surely has a family!!!]
[Lily is so cute]
[But watching Sagwi makes me want to eat shrimp tempura]
[For real haha]
The spear is recovered by a white hand and flies towards the fleeing Sagwi.
As it pierces one Sagwi, the others nearby are swept away by the strong wind, losing their balance and falling over.
As I walk steadily, the Sagwi crawl away in a panic.
I’ve felt this before, but monsters that run away create such a strange feeling.
Usually, the monsters in games are just aggressively hostile.
[ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[So sad]
[ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[To an outsider, it looks like the ultimate villain haha]
[The production crew happily ate Sagwi after filming ^^]
[This broadcast is very uncomfortable, I’m from the Sagwi Protection Association.]
[Lily seems merciless, she also captures people well.]
[Doesn’t seem like a newbie]
[Oh my]
[Yeah, they are a newbie~]
“…Aren’t you getting too absorbed?”
If this keeps up, I’d feel bad for killing them.
[For real haha]
[Lily is too much]
[How can you treat a poor Sagwi like that]
[Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy!]
[Lily just kill it]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[That Sagwi probably has a family, sob sob]
[Are they crazy? haha]
“……”
The Sagwi glances at me.
Its eyes sparkle as if asking if I would spare it.
I stare at it for a moment and then stab it with a green spear.
The Sagwi disperses and disappears.
Unfortunately, I don’t save them just because they look pitiful.
“Do you think leaving the monsters alive because they look pitiful will lead to fewer victims? That’s been proven time and again. Even if a kind Sagwi does it, it’s just a game, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Especially since I’ve already slain about 2000 of them.
[Whoa]
[Gasp]
[Gasp]
[That Sagwi probably had dreams too…]
[Wah wah]
[😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭]
[😭😭😭😭😭]
[In the next life, may they be reborn as delicious shrimp tempura…]
[Lily, I’m disappointed]
[So turn on the donations]
[?]
■
After an exhausting 5 hours, I finally filled the quota of 3000 monsters. I thought it would take only 2-3 hours, but the hunting grounds were emptier than expected, and it looked like someone had deliberately cleared them out.
[Lily’s targeting is pretty intense]
[I really want to break the heads of those snipers]
[Snipers vs. Hacks, a clash that gives me chills]
[It’s not even hacks, stop spouting nonsense]
[Yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no]
[If I see a sniper, I might feel like teaching them a lesson with my spear]
[Does the Baby Lily squad look like a joke? Haha]
[Lily, I think we need to hire a manager, the chat window is a mess]
[For real, lol]
[Manager, pick me]
“Manager? Hmm… I guess I have to hire one.” I can’t manage everything myself, and there’s only so much help I can get from Miss Yena.
But how do I hire one? I can’t just grab anyone.
One of the most painful lessons I’ve learned as a Saintess is that giving over authority and positions carelessly can lead to disaster. Ignorant nobles can be dangerously unpredictable.
I’ve been in peril more than once just from passing on decision-making power.
…Maybe that’s why I ended up quitting being a Saintess.
“I’m going to be switching jobs on Miss Yena’s stream tomorrow, and I’ll take donations for about 5 minutes.”
[Oh]
Five minutes should be enough. The first day saw a good amount come in, but I’ve been scammed before, so I’m a bit suspicious about those who say they’re hacks. Perhaps around 300 will come in?
As I flipped the donation setting ON, a lively electronic female voice chimed in along with a dramatic sound effect.
[Lily’s First Sword has donated 1,000,000 won.]
─It’s over. Lily is not a hack, you all can check it out, lol
“What?”
Another million today?
And they just write whatever they want on the donation, totally ignoring the actual amount.
Should I call that cool or just chaotic?”
“What should I say…”
[Another day, another stream with 100 views, haha!]
[Lily, the streamer, getting perfect scores from the start… So jealous.]
[“Is there something in the construction?”]
[?]
[“What’s up, just a minute ago.”]
[“The timing is art, lol!”]
[“Isn’t that guy who keeps posting about Lily in the forum a real pain?”]
[“Wow, it actually worked! What is it?”]
[“Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~ Yeah, it wasn’t a hack~”]
[“What is it? Show me.”]
“…First, thank you to Lily’s first sword for a million won. The construction you’re talking about refers to the official site, right?”
[“Crazy, lol!”]
[“Yep.”]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1YkU5K2Zzb2pjcGdEU3o1ZEJZRy94Wm0vb0JxRXE3VEhxM3V6T1BrYyt6Yg
[“Go go go go!”]
[“Check out the official site of Deoen.”]
[“There must be a setting where you can display the site.”]
[“Show me.”]
[“Teaching those hacker parrots a lesson ON.”]
I entered the settings that Yena had set up for me.
A window that kindly mentioned ‘where to put other site links’ with notes.
Below that were links to key sites like NewTube, Twitch, and the official Deoen site.
When I entered the official Deoen site address there, part of the broadcast screen changed to the official site.
I clicked on the most recent notice.
