VTube Banking.

Upon the appearance of a mysterious bank account, Hae Eung Eung’s first thought was fraud.

“Uh, Unni? Why are you suddenly like this? You’re all flustered. I don’t understand sign language, so please write it down.”

[An unknown account received unknown money.]

“Eh?? Isn’t that fraud?!”

Hae Eung Eung’s flustered state was further heightened by Joo Ahyoung, who was beside her.

“Could you show it to me?”

After So Gyeong Seok looked at the account details, the confusion finally settled.

“Have you done any broadcasts recently?”

[Martial arts tournament.]

“No, I mean before that. On x month, x day. On xx month, xx day. On xx month, xx day, the sponsorship settlement money was deposited. What did you do on these days?”

Hae Eung Eung thought deeply.

It wasn’t difficult for someone with the intelligence of a martial artist who could memorize martial arts books to recall events from two months ago.

[I played a game.]

“A game? Do you mean a game broadcast?”

Hae Eung Eung blinked in confusion.

She had never imagined that the terms and conditions would have hidden automatic broadcast features. She quickly shook her head.

“Huh? Unni, a game play video of yours was uploaded on VTube, and viewers commented and sent donations too. Isn’t that a broadcast?”

Joo Ahyoung brought up the search results.

The 2D colorful footage and 3D view provided clear footage of Hae Eung Eung playing the game, along with the comments and donations from viewers.

“??”
Hae Eung Eung was still confused.

“Also, didn’t you say you used Ghost Mode before? The quality here is great and so lifelike.”

As Hae Eung Eung’s confusion reached its peak, her mental defenses faltered for a moment.

Min Woo Seong, noticing the brief moment, read her thoughts.

Did her gameplay video get stolen and broadcasted to the public without her consent?

She was in intense confusion.

Excitement and agitation.

Then, slowly, her head began to lift.

• In the martial world, it is common knowledge that if someone peeks without permission, they deserve to be punished by a sword.

The intense bloodlust was enough to make her kill a few people without hesitation.

Min Woo Seong jumped up.

Seeing this, Joo Ahyoung clapped her hands and cheered.

“Wow, looks like you really like Jumping Rabbit! Haha. You haven’t even played the game yet, but you jumped already? It’s addictive. You should know the difference between reality and games.”

Despite being annoyed by Joo Ahyoung’s absurd teasing, Hae Eung Eung knew this wasn’t the time for such things.

She was an awakened returnee with extraordinary strength.

A returnee who views human life with contempt.

The rage within her was building, and she felt like a bomb ready to explode. Was it really a big deal to be misunderstood as a Jumping Rabbit addict?

What if I end up storming the VTube headquarters and slay dozens of their employees?

Having seen the case of the first returnee, she knew this wasn’t just a joke. It felt disturbingly realistic.

Moreover, she was one of the initial members of the newly founded Haenam Guild, led by Hae Eung Eung.

Though it hadn’t been formally established yet, there were plenty of legal concerns.

If that woman loses it, my life could be over!

National Security Agency?

They had accidentally killed an NSA agent when they tried to apprehend the first returnee, Choi Deok-Bae, and intentionally killed civilians.

There were plenty of classified documents containing such incidents.

If things go wrong, the chances of being cut off or dying with them were incredibly high.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding.”

“Woo Seong, do you have any idea what’s going on?”

Min Woo Seong was sweating profusely, as if he were facing the trial of his life.

He tried to act like it wasn’t a big deal.

“Before, Ghost Mode only showed silhouettes, but now, with the advances in technology, the full appearance is shown. It’s just a result of technological progress.”

“Really? That’s amazing. I didn’t know about that.”

Joo Ahyoung, uninterested in anything except Jumping Rabbit, had no clue about the situation.

With no one else seeming to understand the gravity of the issue, Hae Eung Eung calmed herself slightly.

[Then, what about the broadcast with the chat?]

“Well, that’s probably a review broadcast.”

Min Woo Seong explained with all his might.

“You know how, when a famous movie or drama comes out, celebrities watch it and stream it? Hae Eung Eung’s Ghost Mode became popular, so it’s probably related to that.”

[But there are no celebrities in this video.]
