What should I say?
Personally, I think I’m quite a good catch when it comes to part-time jobs.
Since I ran away from home in my previous life, there’s really nothing I haven’t done.
From warehouse work, convenience stores, dishwashing in restaurants, internet cafes, labor jobs, cafes, pubs, and so on.
If it’s not illegal, I’ve tried pretty much everything.
Of course, I’ve also been shortchanged a lot.
The fact that I’ve hidden my identity is illegal in itself.
But I had no choice if I wanted to survive.
So, if someone would just give me work, I could really do it well…
“I’m sorry, but it seems like it won’t work out.”
“W-why not?”
“Well, you mentioned that you’ve been rejected from other part-time job interviews too, right?”
“Yes…”
Today’s part-time job interview was at a supermarket, just a 10-minute walk from home.
The store owner, looking regretful, scratched his head as he explained why it would be difficult for me to work at this supermarket.
“The biggest issue is… let’s call it confidence. You stutter when you speak, and you can’t make eye contact… While we’re not exactly in the service industry, we still need to treat customers kindly. But Selene, it seems impossible for you to do that. Some customers, especially the difficult ones, get angry if they don’t feel properly greeted.”
A devastating, unarguable truth.
It hurts.
“And the second reason is that you’re a foreigner.”
“…Excuse me?”
But I’m a native Korean.
“To be more precise, it’s because you’re a foreigner without any experience. It’s hard for us to hire someone who might run off at any moment, especially when we’re in urgent need of staff.”
“No, that’s….”
How should I explain this?
I’m a native Korean, and this is so unfair.
Sure, with my silver hair, red eyes, and the name Selene, it’s understandable that people would mistake me for a foreigner.
But I’m really a native Korean!!!
Well, at least in my previous life.
Still, have you ever seen a foreigner this fluent in Korean?
I wanted to argue back, but… yeah. If I could, I would’ve already gotten a job.
“Anyway, those two reasons are significant disqualifiers for me… so it’s going to be difficult.”
With that, the interview ended.
I had no choice but to leave the office and head back home with heavy steps.
It had been a while since I got an interview, but it ended up being a failure again.
I had somewhat expected it, but hearing that being an inexperienced foreigner was such a big disadvantage hit me harder than I thought.
I’m really a native Korean though…
“Sigh…”
I let out a sigh, and a puff of cold winter air escaped my lips.
The sky was clear.
“Hmm…”
I remembered the PVP match I had yesterday against that guy with the nickname Maratangko? Marariko?
It seemed to have caused more buzz in the community than I expected.
The story spread not only to the NewD Gallery but also to the Free Board on the NewD website, and somehow, a video was uploaded to Ontube as well. Though, the view count was pathetic. Especially, the NewD Gallery was still burning, and there was a bigger reason than yesterday’s PVP video.
**[Title: Lol, this guy really was a consistent “concept troll”]**
**[Author: HireMePlease]**
[“If you’re going to trust Elune, might as well just stick to Charlotte” lol]
Rather than being a priest or paladin in NewD, it’s better to be obsessed with some anime waifu lol. So, who the heck is Charlotte from “The Dark Man Survival Story” anyway, you weeb? Lol.
**[Upvotes: 4 / Downvotes: 1]**
User1: “This weeb is all excited because something he knows came up lol.”
User2: “Who’s Charlotte?”
└ HireMePlease: “She’s a heroine from an anime from a few years ago lol.”
└ User2: “…How does Namgung Hyung know that?”
It was because it was revealed that the troll who occasionally stirred up trouble on the gallery was me.
But, to be clear, I wasn’t trolling. I was simply giving all NewD users a chance to escape from heresy and repent. How could they call my beautiful act of goodwill a troll job? It hurts my heart…
But as much as it hurts, I should still make use of it. With all this attention…
“Rene, sis.”
“Ah, yeah…”
“Mom said to take some grilled short rib patties home tonight.”
“Oh… T-thank you.”
“Don’t thank me, thank mom.”
“Okay…”
Maybe I’ll think about it after I eat the grilled short rib patties tonight.
I can’t resist grilled patties.
**[Title: Please stop slandering me]**
**[Author: 00]**
I’m not just against classes like priest or paladin; as a legitimate inquisitor, I’m simply trying to make people in the weird cult of Elune repent.
Anyway, guys, I’ve started streaming. Wanna come watch?

User1: “Would you go, seriously?”
└ 00: “You’re being too harsh ㅠㅠ.”
User2: “Do you even know what ‘legitimate’ means?”
└ 00: “Stop slandering me.”
User3: “Whoa, is this really the infamous Nameless Inquisitor ᄋᄋ from NewD Gallery!!!”
└ 00: “Don’t try to flatter me.”
User4: “Go back to the streaming gallery lol.”
└ 00: “You should come too. It’s fun haha.”
User5: “What kind of hate do you think you’re attracting from priest or paladin users?”
└ 00: “My stream bans heretics.”
Online streaming is meaningless without viewers. In other words, it’s a job where grabbing people’s attention is the most important thing.
At that moment, I thought, “If I start a stream and promote myself when my name is getting attention in all these communities, wouldn’t I see some decent results?”

[New Dimension | 13 viewers | 0:00:13]
And just as I expected, as soon as I started the stream, 13 people joined.
Considering I used to have just two regular viewers, that’s a sixfold increase!
It was surely the beginning of my success story.
Ha-ha.
─Is that really him?
─Why didn’t you stream yesterday during the PvP?
My first two regular viewers, Lionel and Moriarty, were also watching, as if it was only natural.
I felt my heart pounding.
“Hello….”
─???
─What’s going on? Lol???
─Wait, are you a girl???
Comments expressing confusion about my voice flooded the chat all at once.
Apparently, the fact that I’m a girl was a much bigger surprise than I thought.
“I’m a guy…. I’m using a voice changer.”
─Oh, damn, he’s a freak lol
─What a weirdo
─Ugh, gross

[New Dimension | 8 viewers | 0:01:21]
…Five people left in an instant.
That’s harsh.
I began to wonder if I was going in the wrong direction.
But I decided I should give it at least a month to see.
Anyway, even with 8 viewers, that’s still four times more than the day before yesterday, so there’s no problem.
“Um… is there anyone from New Dimension here who’s a priest, or claims to be a paladin or heresy inquisitor?”
─I’m a priest.
One person.
Hmm…. With every viewer being precious right now, would it be okay to ban them?
I had that thought for a second, but rules are rules.
“Repent and come back. You’ll be banned for 3 minutes.”
I figured 10 minutes would be too long, so just 3 minutes.
─???
─He’s seriously crazy.
─He clearly came from the forum, why even bother answering him lol
Huh? Don’t you know who that guy is?
─Your voice is too quiet.
“I’m still getting used to talking, so please bear with me….”
Luckily, no more viewers left.
The heretic ‘Je-Ari,’ whom I had banned for 3 minutes, thankfully returned after the time was up.
“Je-Ari, have you repented?”
Yup, seems like it lol.
“You’ll delete that self-proclaimed priest character, right?”
I tried hard.
The reaction wasn’t what I hoped for… but since he says he’s repented, I have to believe him.
I am a pious priest, after all.
Earlier, Mr. Lainel asked why I didn’t stream during the PvP yesterday… Well, I didn’t have time to ask the opposing heretic for permission anyway,
so it was impossible.”
-Can’t you just stream it anyway?
“You never know what might happen. And… Today’s content is analyzing that PvP from yesterday.”
—? Did you get permission for that?
“No, I didn’t.”
-?
-What the heck, lol
─Think about what you just said, teacher.
“That’s different. I won, right? Usually, in situations like this, the winner is the one who’s right.”
─Wow, you’re seriously nuts, lol
-You have to be this crazy to keep doing this concept act for over a year…
After declaring absolute justice, I started playing the saved replay of yesterday’s PvP.
In my view appeared a vast plain.
On the left side stood me, and on the right, the heretic from yesterday.
With PvP replays, you can view from a third-person perspective, which makes it much easier when explaining the layout like this.
“First, my class is Traveler, and the opponent is a self-proclaimed priest… a heretic, right?”
So, I began explaining the setup of yesterday’s battle to them.
-I couldn’t even understand half of what you said.
-What’s this guy even talking about?
-Mararico, you lost to this guy.
I was able to draw a rather successful reaction from them.
The speaking-related video I watched briefly before going to bed seemed to have helped.
= ‘This is really kind of insane’ donated 1000 won.
Wow, I really learned something good here. I wanted to improve my PvP ranking anyway.
“Ah, thank you for the 1000 won donation. This is basic, so if you keep it in mind, it’ll make things a lot easier….”
-This is basic?
-You already got a loyal follower, lol
─Kick out the loyalist lol
─Does the word ‘basic’ mean something different to him?
─What on earth is the advanced course like?
And with that, my first donation.
It was undeniably a successful day.
