Chapter 30: Goddess of salvation.

Two weeks had passed since Yuna-yeon rejected my offer for an editor, but I still hadn’t found a suitable talent.

I posted an announcement on the platform, but hardly anyone looked at it, and those who did occasionally sent in

portfolios and resumes that seemed like half-hearted jokes.

Of course, there were a few who appeared genuinely interested, but sadly, I had to decline as they didn’t meet the

level of skill or concept I was looking for.

After experiencing such occurrences repeatedly, I found myself in a state of semi-giving up, genuinely contemplating,

“Should I just learn editing now?”

But that thought didn’t last even three hours before I gave up.

“Ugh! Why is there a cliff here?”

Having somewhat decided to delay opening my YouTube channel, I continued with a game I couldn’t clear earlier.

Wait, is the map structure for real? I was relieved to see a bridge connecting the areas on the minimap, so I rode my

horse, only to find out it was a broken structure at the end, leading me to fall off a cliff.

I can’t help but wonder about the address of the creator who designed this.

【코스모절대지켜】 – What should I do? 😂

【코끼얏호우】 – 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[백화요란] The map is really wicked. 😂😂😂

【크로마뇽인】 – It’s okay to curse this one. 😂

So much so that even these malicious viewers were siding with me today without throwing their usual shade of “Well,

that’s your skill.” It’s truly a remarkable game in many ways.

“Seriously, do I have to cross that awful path again? Was there a save point before?”

【옆집사는하니】 – Nope.

【소주맛핸드크림】 – Nope.

【알파카사냥꾼】 – You have to go over that cliff again. 😂

Wow, that means they deliberately set it up so you’d die right before the save point, huh? What annoys me even more

than dying is that point.

If the way here had been smooth, I wouldn’t mind, but it was literally a chaotic party with pits of fire and flying

monsters. Are they really asking me to navigate that hell again?

This is ridiculous.

“Ugh, I think I’m going to falter…”

[아디오스다오] – Is that all the will you have?

【모스코스】 – What’s wrong? You seem to be wobbling.

【츄우츄우】 – What’s important is always a wavering heart.

As I moved to the save point I had taken earlier, the hellish scene that awaited me reappeared in my mind, making it

hard to move my character forward.

Grabbing my aching forehead, I muttered as the viewers threw all sorts of provocations and taunts at me, trying to get me to move.

Sorry, guys, I think this is where I’m going to stop…

【’코스모절대지켜’ 님이 50,000원을 후원하셨습니다.】

• You can do it! Fighting!

“Whoa!”

Just as I was about to give up like a character witnessing despair, the encouraging voice came into my ear along with

the substantial amount of 50,000 won appearing in front of me.

At that moment, I felt the blood in my body rush back with vigor, and I took on the role of an anime character

awakening in a dire crisis.

“Right, there’s no way this pitiful trial can break me. My adventure is just beginning now!”

【한대맞고백대때리기】 – That’s it, Cosmo…

【지나가던앱등이】 – Koitsu’s financial therapy is on point. 😂

[Bera666] – Ugh…

Clenching my fists, I placed my hands back on the mouse.

Then slowly, slowly, I visualized the traps and all the wicked map structures I had just experienced in my mind,

completing a simulation in an instant before moving forward.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!

【코스모절대지켜】 – Wow.

[하우냥이] – Oh.

[tws2425] Suddenly, it got faster. 😂😂😂😂

I easily crossed the perilous stepping stones, hopped onto a fast-moving platform to skip over the pit of fire, and

swung my sword in rhythm with the falling logs from the sky, rolling through them as I passed.

I could feel even the viewers holding their breath and marveling at my gameplay, which was completely different from before.

Alright, as long as I can safely pass the rolling rock ahead.

But first…

Thump!

• Kyaah!

“Where do you think you’re going, you bastard!”

While I was focused on the rolling rock in front of me, I precisely sniped the flying monster attempting to ambush

me from behind, sending it crashing down.

【메기염소개구리】 – Wow!

[몽구삼] – That was clean.

[우백림] – The person has changed. 😂😂

The viewers exclaimed in unison, but in this moment, I didn’t have the luxury to feel proud or react.

Right now, I had to concentrate solely on overcoming these pathetic obstacles in front of me.

“This is where the cliff was, right? Then…”

Soon arriving at the broken cliff where I had died earlier, I checked to see that there were no devices or mechanisms

around and moved my character slightly back.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, I sprinted at full speed and leaped with all my might from the edge of the cliff

to the bridge on the other side.

Thud!

Thanks to that leap of faith, my character landed safely on the other side, and as I headed toward the end of the

bridge, I spotted the familiar save point bonfire.

Whoosh!

Finally lighting the bonfire, a message popped up confirming that the save was complete.

Feeling a wave of relief wash over me, knowing I had finally completed the quota I promised to the viewers today, I

couldn’t help but shout out loud.

“I did it!”

[올프리드] – It’s quitting time! 😂😂

【메기염소개구리】 – Cosmo, you won!

[코끼얏호우] – You navigated the most treacherous section. You should be able to beat it tomorrow.

【코스모절대지켜】 – Great job! 😭😭

The viewers showered me with compliments, like they were consoling children, praising my hard work.

This would mark the end of the second part of today’s broadcast, and I should log off with my closing remarks, but I

had one announcement to make before that.

“Thank you all for being with me for so long. Before logging off, I have a brief announcement to share.”

[분홍토끼] – Huh?

【집나간개구리】 – Looking for an editor?

【밥먹고지금일어남】 – When are you opening your YouTube channel?

As soon as I started to speak, the viewers were all too eager to jump in with their own topics.

Seriously, do these people have no patience? Just wait a bit!

“Actually, about the editor search I mentioned earlier… It might take a little longer. The friend who was supposed to help declined…”

“I’m looking for a capable person, but it’s not easy to find one.”

【Moscow】 – Ahhhhhhhhhh

【Soju-flavored Hand Cream】 – KosKos, are you deceiving me?

【National Hip-Top Cosmo】 – It’s going to be found before moving, right?

As I expected, the viewers’ reactions were quite harsh. After raising their expectations without saying much, it’s only

natural they’d feel disappointed when I finally conveyed such news.

I can only feel sorry about that.

“I plan to find someone before switching to cheese, but it’s not confirmed. Originally, I intended to make a few videos

as soon as I found an editor, and as soon as I transferred to the platform, I was thinking of creating a YouTube

channel.”

As I briefly summarized the information I just shared in my notebook, the viewers once again wailed in

disappointment.

I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do. Right now, all I can say is to wait. Unless a capable editor suddenly drops

down from the sky…

Ding.

“…Huh?”

While I was busy moving my fingers, an alert tone sounded from my phone, which was sitting on the wireless charger next to me.

Normally, I try to keep my phone on silent before the broadcast, but since I rarely receive messages, it seems I forgot to turn off the sound.

【Fallen Flower】?

【Lucid Dream 7】 – It’s a trendy group.

【Blue Gaming】 – It’s a girlfriend, huh—

“No, what girlfriend? You guys need to stop with the nonsense…”

Ignoring the viewers’ absurd comments, who were trying to drag me down with their nonsense, I checked the

message that arrived.

Oh, it’s from Sister Seohwa? Was she not watching the broadcast today? If she were watching, she wouldn’t have sent

a message during the broadcast.

【Sister Seohwa – I’m sorry for bothering you during your broadcast, Cosmo-nim】

【Sister Seohwa – I actually have something to contact you about regarding the editor you mentioned】

【Sister Seohwa – I have a decent editor in my circle. Would you be interested in getting an introduction?】

As I checked the message, slightly taken aback, I saw a rather long series of texts. It seemed she sent the message

while watching the broadcast.

By the way… She’s offering to introduce an editor? If Sister Seohwa confidently refers to someone as a ‘decent editor,’

they must be quite capable.

Then,

“Oh, guys. We might be able to find an editor!”

【Kokkiahho】 – ?

【Neighbor Hani】 – Oh, is that message the one that just came in?

【National Hip-Top Cosmo】 – ? If this turns out to be a lie, I’m dead.

I might end up making the viewers drink kimchi soup twice, but it’s best to share this news to ease their anger a bit.

Perhaps Sister was deliberately waiting for the right moment to send the message after seeing the reactions in the

chat during the broadcast.

【Me – I’d appreciate it if you could introduce me!】

【Me – When can we talk?】

As I made my remarks on the broadcast, I quickly replied to Sister Seohwa. I was afraid I’d lose this precious

opportunity, so my fingers were moving faster than the eye could see.

【Sister Seohwa – They said they can do it as soon as tomorrow, haha. I’m also okay with that!】

【Me – Oh, really?】

Wow, is Sister Seohwa an angel sent by heaven? How is she able to provide the help I need right at this moment? I’m

so grateful that it’s almost embarrassing.

【Sister Seohwa – But if things go well, can I ask you for a favor this time?】

【Me – Of course! I’d even give you a kidney!】

【Me – (Emoji of a bowing cat)】

I was willing to accept any favor, so without even hearing the conditions, I sent a positive reply without hesitation.

【Sister Seohwa – Then I’ll talk about the favor when we meet tomorrow.】

【Sister Seohwa – Thank you for your hard work during the broadcast today.】

【Sister Seohwa – Sleep well.】

The sweet nighttime greeting from Sister Seohwa felt like her voice replacing my thoughts, leaving me momentarily dazed.

【’Kokkiahho’ has donated 1,000 won.】

• Streamer… Where did you go… We’re cold…

“…!? Ah, I’m sorry! Well then, I’ll bring you quick news regarding the editor, so I’ll wrap things up for today!”

Finally, the viewers, feeling neglected, sent voice donations to remind me they were still alive, and only then did I

snap back to reality, hastily wrapping up the broadcast with my closing remarks.

For some reason, I was really looking forward to tomorrow.

Not just because of the hope of finding an editor.
