“I lost 4 kilos! I lost 4 kilos in just a week! Kya-ha this is a human victory!”
When Saetbyeol returned home and weighed herself, she let out a cheer.
She grabbed the camera and started snapping pictures like there was no tomorrow.
Congratulating her on the weight just barely making it to the 4s, I pushed her towards the shower.
She would have just plopped on the bed covered in outdoor dust if I didn’t force her along.
Once she left, I too hopped onto the scale.
[23.1kg]
I thought I had put on some muscle from working out consistently in the United States, but my weight just won’t budge.
If I exclude the weight of my hair and the water I just drank, I’m only 22 kilograms.
Therefore, to match the power of an equal aura at the National Exchange Tournament, I’d need to output a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 5 times more than others.
Depending on the opponent, I might even have to partially unlock the power of erosion.
I entered my room’s bathroom, tossed my clothes haphazardly onto the bed, and took a quick shower.
Swishhhh-
The sticky sweat and dust clinging to my body washed away in the hot shower stream.
When I reached to adjust the showerhead, I found it was set too high.
It seemed Saetbyeol had sneaked in and adjusted it as a prank.
Might as well just wash as is.
Looking at my shabby, skinny body in the mirror, I couldn’t help but worry.
“I wish my secondary sexual characteristics would come in quickly.”
Seo Yu-na was already 140 cm tall, and shockingly, Yoon Si-hoo was 145 cm.
Kim Han-gyeol had broken past 150 cm during last winter break.
While everyone was growing like crazy, I felt stuck.
“Ugh, what’s the big deal with height? I already lived a tall life in my past life.”
If I had to sacrifice my height for a peaceful life, I’d gladly accept it.
“Phew, it’s hot.”
[Spell: Evaporation Coefficient Adjustment]
With no time to waste, I dried my hair instantly with evaporation magic.
The only flaw of this magic is that my hair ends up sticking out like I’ve been hit by lightning.
I squeezed out some body lotion and rubbed it all over my body before heading to the kitchen.
Saetbyeol, who had washed up first, was pouring drinks into a cup.
“Hey, isn’t it time for your broadcast? Why are you still here?”
“I told the viewers I’d be late, so it’s okay.”
“Wow, talk about a scoundrel mindset.”
“Hey, didn’t I tell you not to come into my bathroom? This is confiscated.”
She picked up the drink she had poured and sauntered back to my room.
“Aww, I was going to drink that…! Seriously, Na-me Unni is definitely going through puberty.”
“How old do you think I am? What puberty are you talking about?”
Having worked hard and finished off with refreshing drink,
I hoped to maintain this pleasant state as I opened the capsule door and entered.

After a long time, I returned to a game that felt like home.
When defining “home” as the place I was born and raised, League of Legends was more than enough to qualify.
On the waiting screen, Fox merchant Liri was wagging her tail, warmly welcoming me.
Items from the return event poured into my inventory.
Among them was a reward for the deletion of Asteria.
[Champion Deletion Compensation: All users who purchased Asteria will be compensated as follows: / 1950RP / Delivery date: February 21st, 18:00]
“Asteria got deleted?”
[NoName]
[Legacy of Legends – Where did Asteria go?]
[Broadcasting Time – 0:00:58]
[Number of Viewers – 5948]
Is it even sane to delete a champion full of countless memories and craftsmanship without a remake?
I scrolled aimlessly up and down the champion selection screen in disbelief.
[“Thank you very much, BerryBerry” donated 5,000 won!]
– I went to check out a house that collapsed over there. When I got back, my house had collapsed too. I cried as soon as I saw it.
[“Grade New” donated 5,000 won!]
– Heh… Did you finally catch on? That person is no longer in this world.
[“Epris” donated 10,000 won!]
– Kiii… you!!!
[“ThatDon’tGo” donated 5,000 won!]
– To be honest, I find Asteria’s deletion refreshing. LOL I agree.
[FullMoon’s manager activated the chat window.]
[Chat Window – ON]
– Welcome back, Patel! SS*
– It’s League of Legends after a week! Finally League!! SOB
– Hey!
– Hey-hey!
– NoName, please broadcast longer for being late!
– 100 likes for delete! LOL
– Wow, they finally got rid of that crap champion!
– It passed away two months ago. SOB
– Every time you hit an enemy, the range🏹 increases, and physical penetration🗡 increases. Skills recharged🔋 can cross walls five times, and as the level rises🥋 so does skill acceleration⏰. Plus, at level 16, the ultimate refreshes💫 with 0.1 spell power coefficient on 15 stardust🌟. AAAAAAH😱😱
– Just a little buff, and it’s a broken champion. A little nerf, and it’s a coffin champion, so deleting it was indeed the right call! LOL
– For real, there were too many bugs!
– What about our Na-me? SOB
I learned about Asteria’s demise through a V-tube search.
There was also an interview where the developers acknowledged design flaws and decided to delete her.
Most users were in a festive mood.
Not to mention being mocked even in death, I couldn’t hide my pitiful feelings.
I quietly closed my eyes, taking a moment for my own mourning.
“I hope you too can be reincarnated like me to live a recognized life…”
With my hands together, I bowed my head.
I wasn’t sure which prayer method this was; I just mimicked whatever came to mind.
Then I read the skill descriptions of the newly released champions to catch everyone up.
“Today’s sunny, so I went to Cheonggye Mountain with my dad and sister. I think it might be better for all of you to spend your sunny weekend with family or friends rather than watching broadcasts.”
[“Margaritta123” donated 5,000 won!]
– NoName teacher, please adopt me!
When Melissa uses her ultimate, her skills are sealed for 4 seconds, dodging all opponents’ skills.
The number and power of dodged skills increase her attack power and attack speed for 10 seconds.
Isn’t this getting a bit too broken?
I really don’t understand why only Asteria had to be hunted down.
[“SnowWhite1213” donated 100,000 won!]
– Na-me Unni, I really enjoyed NV’s new music video! Is there a reaction broadcast for it today?
“Thanks for the 100,000 won donation. Do you really think my reaction is necessary? I only had a cameo.”
– Did NV release a new song?
– It came out two hours ago. Na-me cameos in it, so you definitely need to watch!
– You didn’t watch this? You didn’t watch this? You didn’t watch this?
– Na-me looks so cool in it! Please watch together! SOB
– Even compared to active idols, her cuteness is unrivaled!
– Honestly, I don’t know about other aspects, but Na-me crushing in cuteness! LOL
– In NV’s new song, she has adorable moments!!!!
└ For real???
└ Let’s go!
└ I gotta watch this! LOL*
└ I’ll cherish this precious moment!
“Oh, but don’t watch it while I’m present…! I’m going to do viewer participation content now, and the password is a random 3-digit number.”
There were just too many embarrassing lines to show others.
I hurried to set up a 5-person party and prepare the viewer participation content.
[LOLNoAiJun: Wow, you’re breaking through! S* Hey~]
[GangCome: Are you going ADC, NoName?]
Maybe because there were so many viewers, the party was quickly formed despite being a 1 in a thousand chance.
“Please, let me jungle instead of ADC. But geez, I’m so sad Asteria got deleted…”
– SOB SOB
– She was the symbol of NoName!
– The winner of the pre-fall event was Asteria, after all!
– At least do a remake and re-release her!
– Don’t cry, Na-me! SOB
– Do you know the Na-me who turned into a relic…
“Asteria’s deletion, do fans really bear no responsibility?”
– ???
– W-What?
– Ugh!
– LOL
– The blame-switch is ON!
“I think so. If we had focused on Asteria’s good aspects instead of just the negatives, this extreme situation could’ve been avoided. If we had reduced hateful voices and sought improvement together… Just feels a bit regrettable. Honestly, she was one of the few creative and charming long-range dealer champions…”
I chose the Queen of Hell, Melissa.
Melissa was a champion concept of an assassin primarily targeting long-range dealers while circling the jungle.
“I also know a lot of viewers in our room play long-range dealer positions. Do you think you all, who couldn’t even protect Asteria, have the right to call yourselves advocates for ADC rights?”

Our team’s skill level was honestly not even suitable for praise.
Since there was a Challenger account among us, it seemed like the opposing team had leveled up significantly too.
But without an ultimate, Melissa was as good as dead.
While three lanes burst around me, I focused solely on my growth.
Finally reaching level 6, it was the start of hunting ADCs.
With Caitlyn’s superior range, she tormented our team for 5 minutes, nicknamed “InnocentBabyBird123.”
I hid in our jungle, waiting for the right moment, struck with a hook, and leaped onto InnocentBabyBird.
“Yikes! You scared me!”
[Multi-Kill Blocked!] [NoName → InnocentBabyBird123]
I planted a tombstone on the corpse and set off again for my own growth.
[InnocentBabyBird123: Wow, your jungle gank angles are sharp. But can we even win this already doomed game? LOL It’s jungle difference all the way!]
Hearing that, our livestream viewers were all incensed.
“Getting angry together will only hurt you. Life’s too short to live with bad blood, isn’t it? While jungle-ing, let me tell you some stories about the NV members I met.”
I shared experiences from the music video shoot with the viewers.
“Sister Hayan had such leadership and was really cool. In particular, her dance was so precise that it left a mark on my memory.”
In the meantime, I took down the reborn InnocentBabyBird at the fortress.
[NoName → InnocentBabyBird123]
“Sister Rani had a smile like a puppy. She was bright and made the atmosphere around her comfortable, and I’m thankful for that.”
This time, I took up the fight against InnocentBabyBird with a supporter alongside me, handling a 2v1 with ease.
[NoName → InnocentBabyBird123]
“Sister Yuju has such a charming voice. She’s amazing at rapping, and I find singers quite envy-worthy.”
As if fear was instilled, I ambushed InnocentBabyBird, who had locked herself in the inner fortress.
[NoName → InnocentBabyBird123]
[Legendary NoName!]
“Sister White, I can’t help but praise her looks. She has fair skin and big eyes. Surprisingly, she has a down-to-earth personality, joking around next to me and all.”
Chasing after InnocentBabyBird, who was decked out only in speed items to escape, I lunged forward and plunged my dagger into her back.
[NoName → InnocentBabyBird123]
[15 consecutive kills!]
[InnocentBabyBird123: There must be some reason you keep doing this… Please, stop chasing me!!! Why is it only me who’s dying, XXX?! I’ve spent more time dead than alive!!!]
[NoName: 23/1/4]
[InnocentBabyBird123: 6/16/3]
[Victory!]
“The music video… Honestly, it’s a little embarrassing, but I think it turned out pretty cool. I hope everyone sees it as cute—no, as cool.”
[“Lapla” donated 10,000 won!]
– Seriously, NoName is like a true demon!!! LOL
I quietly pressed the report button on InnocentBabyBird123.
[Report received on InnocentBabyBird123.]

[Immediate feedback notice: The player you’re reporting has received penalties. Thank you for your help! Generally, unsportsmanlike behavior occurs randomly, so even one penalty can show significant effects, so please continue reporting actively in the future.]
– Did they really get penalized to the point of account suspension for intentional deaths? LOL
– LOL You went and killed them yourself!
– Live your life, human!
– I genuinely thought they were a psycho! LOL
– It’s amazing how early education in League has resulted in this!
