Around the World, Regardless of Climate and Environment, green trees grow wildly like weeds, and apple-shaped bulbs illuminate the night roads instead of stars on this day.
Christmas was approaching, with less than a week left.
The meaning of celebrating the birth of Jesus faded over time and space, often becoming an anniversary marking the end of the year.
[Only I♡N Seoul]
Seoul was no exception.
As a hologram powerhouse, outdoor advertisements were displayed on the walls of tall buildings.
A girl wearing a red Santa hat pops out from a gift box.
She draws a magic circle, and cold air flows from the gift box, constructing a large ice castle.
Hop hop.
Spin spin in a clockwise direction.
Na-me, walking back to the camera, took the microphone and spoke.
[There’s a special Christmas event happening at the Modern Outlet, so please check the QR code below for more details. Ah, this has been Little Santa No-Name. Merry Christmas!]
A refreshing voice echoed on the boring 8-lane road during rush hour.
Office workers scrambled to find the source of the sound.
Then to discover Na-me’s Santa costume.
She was a child frequently appearing in various advertisements recently.
An incomprehensible being who effortlessly solved math problems with an intelligence far beyond human average and defeated a senior with seven years of experience in a duel.
There were various conspiracy theories that her real age wasn’t 8 but that she was a super soldier modified by Valpurgis, but the truth could not be known.
She lived in a world different from ordinary people, so there was a significant distance.
However, Na-me’s appearances in various media sparked such thoughts.
“Was that child originally that pretty?”
It’s absolutely not common to hear someone say “pretty” instead of “cute” when looking at a young child.
Yes, her face is small and her eyes big, but there was a strange charm that drew public attention.
And elements merely of ‘feeling’ were revealed in the form of ‘sales’ through the meticulous efforts of various marketing personnel.
[No-Name surpasses Lee Sang-yoon·ENVY, ranked 8th in brand reputation for advertising models. Are big companies now fans of Na-me?]
*
Na-me set a record of filming 10 ads in a month, and the community buzzed with stories about her.
[No-Name is going absolutely crazy since the limiter got released lololol]
Moreover, the ads were only from gigantic companies like Samsung, Nike, Modern, Baskin, and GigaStudy lolol.
What’s more surprising than the fact that she received 10 ads is that she got to choose among hundreds.

– They say each is at least 100 million.
└ So that’s why I didn’t get Wolf’s award lol. One lick of ice cream costs 100 million lol.
└ I see lol.
– I really want to bite No-Name’s cheeks. She’s just too cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Baskin messed up the marketing completely. Instead of just using her as a model, they should’ve released a No-Name edition ice cream, and it would’ve sold out nationwide.
└ Are you a genius?
└ I wonder what No-Name would taste like…
└ Kyaaaaaah!
[Na-me, I didn’t wish for you to be this happy…]
It’s true.
Instead of the government that has done nothing for you,
Grow tall by sucking the marrow out of companies.

– ENVI’s advertising unit price is 1 billion, and Na-me is hardly over 200 million, so what’s the difference? (Really don’t know)
└ Bruh, ENVI has five members. Plus, those guys get screwed by their agency while Na-me takes it all for herself.
– I don’t watch idol music videos, but I make sure to catch every ad with Na-me in it lol.
– Yeah, this is how money should be madeㅠㅠㅠ

[Reasons why No-Name’s ads could be this successful. Hmmteresting]
1. Not much relative deprivation. Whatever little there is, it’s completely alleviated by donating advertising fees for public service ads.
2. Possibility of patriotic marketing. I think turning down Swiss immigration proposals was probably the biggest move.
3. Unlike idols, her image isn’t fixed, so the advertising spectrum is broad. She can capture both a luxurious image and mass appeal.
4. Just extremely cute (most important). She’s dressed up so well that typical child actors can’t even present their business cards.

Simply GOD.

– I didn’t realize how pitiful this kid is for idolizing someone until now, but… I think I get it a little.
└ Cool
– With past trauma, I feel way too sorry to feel relative deprivation, haha…
└ She even got attacked by a terrorist just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
└ Life is too cruel for her, yet she seems to shine even brighter, so people like her more.
– Is having just a good brain really limitless? I’m an aspiring actor, but watching public service ads was a wall for me.
└ That was a true legend, but it got buried due to controversy, which is unfortunate.
└ I don’t understand why it became controversial in the first place. Na-me surely made the right choices.
– The only thing she appeared in mainstream media was the Academy Competition, yet she has 10 ads lol. It’s truly unprecedented.
– Is this the advertising spirit bomb?

[I want to send No-Name a gift, but what would her hobbies be usually?]
Thinking of Na-me’s image, I’d guess she’d enjoy embroidery, knitting, classic music appreciation, flower arrangement, and tea time!
[Comments]
– Wow… I’m reporting you as a terrorist.
└ (Author): I’ll send it with safe delivery!
– What do kids these days like?
└ Collecting idol photocards, playing Roblox, slimes, TikTok challenges, and watching Skibidi Toilet videos.
└ Wow… those are all things I can’t imagine Na-me would ever do lol.
└ The fun expert.
– Are you nobility? lol
– Surprisingly, Na-me genuinely enjoys classic music.
└ Woah?
– She really comes off elegantly in ads. Am I the only one who thinks so?
└ I think I understand what elegance means now. She gives off a swan-like vibe.
└ Yep, kind of an infuriating swan vibe.
Marketers can drastically change the impression of the same person depending on the image they project.
Na-me giving an elegant yet subtly friendly impression is the same.
Numerous PDs, writers, beauticians, makeup artists, and fashion designers worked hard to ensure Na-me maintained her cute and innocent image.
As ‘Na-me’s Entrance Moment’ video compilation spread widely, big company executives couldn’t help but exclaim it was a delightful Monday.
But as if to utterly betray that expectation, Na-me was spotted in a shocking location.
[Real-time Best]
[What the? No-Name is sitting right next to me… Is this real?][279]
(No-Name in real life.jpg)
I met Korea’s one and only divine being and took a photo together.
I mosaic’d my face. I know there’s a size difference, so no need to mention it.
Right next to me are No-Name and Na-me’s father.
I’m taking pictures with quivering hands, hastily typing this.
Lol, Na-me just asked if I’m posting this in the community, haha. I guess it’s fine since I got permission…?
Where is this place? It looks like this.
(UFC SEOUL Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Arena.jpg)

“Truly a rare sight! Before both competitors even entered, a multitude of handshake requests erupted from the stadium audience! No-Name! Do you remember me? We saw each other at the Academy Competition!”
The microphone echoed throughout the stadium.
I was too busy signing autographs to hear them calling my name from everywhere.
When the camera pointed at me, I glanced and silently mouthed, “Kim Jae-sung caster.”
Of course, they wouldn’t hear me all the way here.
“Did you hear that? You remember me! Wow, I did an interview from the closet back then!”
“I don’t think I heard anything.”
“No-Name clearly mouthed ‘Kim Jae-sung caster is handsome.’ I hope you check it out when you go home!”
“Ahaha, I hope you get sued!”
Listening to the banter between the commentators and casters was enjoyable, but I didn’t have time to listen now.
I needed my hands to be busy.
“Na-me, did you come to watch the UFC with Dad?”
“I asked to come first.”
“Wow, really? I didn’t know you liked stuff like this! Thanks for the autograph!”
“Na-me, over here, over here!”
Once the staff stepped in to manage the crowd, people stopped flooding in.
Finally, I could breathe a sigh of relief.
Professor Cheon, who had been dragged out because of me, looked around the stadium with interest.
He originally wanted to come alone, but given his age, a guardian was necessary.
“When will you be ticketing again? Is it that good?”
“I’m really excited. I’m more nervous than when I went to the competition.”
“Haha. What’s so good about fighting without an aura?”
Not at all.
Humans always seek out fantasies.
Whether it’s soccer, where people handle the ball without using their hands, or tennis, where they have to only use rackets, both use human specialties while simultaneously restricting human capabilities, explaining their popularity.
Dueling only causes one to lose consciousness slightly.
Rather, I personally believe that a fight where bones break and skin tears, spraying blood, is much more exhilarating.
Humans do often long for what they don’t have.
Isn’t it simply astonishing how even today, some individuals showcase explosive athletic performance and animal-like reflexes without an aura?
Because many people share similar thoughts, this world has seen UFC thrive immensely; money never lies, after all.
With a solemn determination, the two fighters gradually entered the octagon as the audience stood and applauded.
The spotlight slowly moved towards the octagon, highlighting the fighters’ path.
Each fighter took off their tops as referees carefully applied Vaseline to their faces.
Next comes the aura heart examination.
This procedure checks whether the aura remaining in the body is less than 10kE upon entering the octagon, and it’s handled even more rigorously than doping tests.
Now, everything’s crucial.
Each fighter points out one audience member seated on the first floor to verify the aura heart examination of their opponent.
This rule was designed to prevent even the referee team from being bribed. Though it’s more about fan service at this point,
I stood up, raised my heels up high and lifted my right arm.
It’s a chance to see the fighters up close. I don’t care who gets picked.
“1-2, 012.”
The fighter Zakayev pointed at a foreigner who was on the opposite side.
Since the match was taking place in Korea, it was only natural for a foreigner to be picked.
I could only hope for a slim chance that Seo Jong-chan would pick me.
“1-5, 016.”
“Oh?”
I pulled out my ticket from my pocket to check.
1-5 016. That’s my seat!
“Oh! Congratulations, Na-me!”
“Na-me, let’s hurry and go!”
“Yes, yes!”
Receiving cheers all at once, I swiftly maneuvered through the crowd and locked eyes with Seo Jong-chan.
It seemed he had already sensed my presence here.
“Be sure to watch closely, little lady.”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
As soon as Zakayev exceeds 0.1KE, or even 0.01kE, I’ll rip his aura heart out without hesitation.
The Russian fighter’s body was plastered with complex wiring.
“Wow, a little kid is here for UFC? I hope you won’t be startled by the sounds of heads cracking, haha!”
It’s a provocation that doesn’t even evoke a reaction.
As the overweight referee pressed a button, the aura heart measurement resumed immediately.
Beeep-
[9.98kE]
I shook my head in disappointment.
“What a pity. If only he had violated a rule, you might have made it out alive here.”
“Haha. I’m really looking forward to the fight against Seo Jong-chan. You’ll cheer for me, right?”
“Not a chance.”
“Then get lost. Go suck on your mama’s milk.”
“I don’t have a mom.”
“…”
Zakayev looked perplexed, like he had been hit hard with a hammer.
Seriously… these days, UFC fighters are too sensitive.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know that’s the level of provocation? Don’t mind me; just show your best performance. Personally, I hope you lose, though.”
Seo Jong-chan also passed with 9.96kE.
I returned to my seat, eagerly watching the match.
Later, I realized the cameras had repeatedly pointed toward me, and it wasn’t just my imagination.
