Chapter 9: Golden Milestone: Triumphs and Tides in Streaming

“Alright, I need to start the reaction. What song should I sing? It’s probably best to go with something soothing and lyrical, right?”

Oh! Lyrical is the name of a singer.

He sings captivating songs that highlight the deep, low tones typical of a man’s voice, without straining to hit high notes.

Even though this goshiwon has soundproofing, if I sing my heart out, the sound might still leak into the neighboring rooms.

I carefully chose a song that wouldn’t require excessive vocal intensity.

“By the way… aren’t you curious about what the reaction is?”

[Ah! Stop teasing us and just do it!]

[ Is this Kim Sungsoon?]

[I’ll reveal it in 60 seconds. If it’s lame, I’m leaving this stream, seriously.]

[Nope, not curious at all.]

[Already acting like a pro streamer, lol.]

I can’t reveal the reaction right away.

I need to build anticipation and make even the simplest things seem special.

Mastering presentation is a vital skill for a streamer.

After some suspense, I finally unveiled the reaction.

“Then, as my reaction, I’ll sing Lyrical’s I’ll Protect Your Sister.”

[He’s really doing it, lol.]

[What? A song? Pfft, lol.]

[Poor Moonhwa. Paid 3 million won for this and now has to endure noise pollution, lol.]

[A guy singing? Nope, not even if you paid me.]

[Wait, is he really going to sing that legendary song?]

[Don’t do it unless you can at least sing it on par with Wheel Nine. Even then, that’s barely tolerable.]

[Oh, it’s that song…]

No one had any expectations. In this world, unless men are professional singers, they’re assumed to be tone-deaf, rhythmically challenged, and incapable of hitting high notes.

Everyone thinks, Is he seriously taking money and calling this a reaction?

“Alright! Let’s start… wait a moment.”

[Double Kill!]

Another fight broke out in the mid lane.

A fierce contest for lane dominance. Nataly came to gank again.

But this time, I wasn’t alone.

Thanks to the ward I placed, Nataly’s path was revealed, and our jungler, Mumu, perfectly counter-ganked.

The result? We took down both Nataly and Azar for a double kill.

The mid-lane balance was completely overturned.

During the downtime, Mumu and I invaded the enemy jungle and stole their blue buff.

A satisfying achievement. I returned to the base, grinning.

[Huge win, lol.]

[Forget the singing, just stick to playing LoL.]

[Lol, for real.]

[If you sing, I bet you’ll lose at least 100 viewers. Think carefully.]

[It’ll probably be even more than that.]

“Truly~ in my happy~ daily life~”

[??]

[Huh?]

[What?]

[Lol?]

Once I had a moment of peace, I started singing. Instantly, the chat exploded with question marks.

Then, one by one, amazed reactions flooded in.

The chat was buzzing at maximum intensity—an unprecedented level of activity.

[What’s going on? This is insane, lol.]

[Lol? Is that really Yuseong singing?]

[Seems like it. There’s no singer with a voice like that, lol.]

[What is this? Oh my god, so soothing.]

[This is like discovering a whole new world.]

“I know~ I’m committing~ a sin~ But I can’t help it~ You keep catching my eye~ Whoa~”

[--)//]
[\(--)]
[-_-)//]

“Wow, listen to how smoothly he hits those high notes, lol.”

[\(--)]

[Someone, please clip this. Seriously, this is insane, lol.]

[Lol, this guy’s a cheat code, lol.]

[--)//]

Even when I practiced this song, I couldn’t help but marvel at the absurdity of the lyrics.

I found out online that they were based on a true story: a man fell in love with his wife’s younger sister but couldn’t pursue her because his wife vehemently opposed it.

Honestly, I just found it funny.

But since it was such a hit, it clearly had mainstream appeal.

Suppressing my amusement, I gave the performance my all.

As the song reached its climax, the mood became electric.

The chat was filled with users spamming hand-waving emotes, creating a scene reminiscent of a live concert.

It was worth all the practice.

The audience’s response was overwhelmingly positive.

Finally, the song’s closing lines.

I ended it with as much emotion as possible, adding a touch of a trembling voice to convey deep sentiment.

“I want to protect~ your sister~ So please~ leave our house~ Hoo! Whoa~”

[Wow, that was amazing.]

[Is it just me, or did Yuseong sing it better than Lyrical?]

[Don’t overdo it, lol.]

[But honestly, I felt more emotional listening to him.]

“The way you said leave our house gave me chills, lol.”

When the song ended, I quietly resumed playing LoL, allowing viewers to savor the lingering emotions.

In moments like these, the coolest move is to act like nothing happened—no bragging, just keeping it casual.

[[God] RecklessOfficeWorker has donated 500,000 won.]

[Wow, Yuseong! That was so moving. This was the best reaction I’ve ever seen.]

“Oh! Moonhwa-nim, thank you for the 500,000 won donation! Should I do another reaction? Sorry, but I only prepared one song.”

[[God] RecklessOfficeWorker: No, it’s fine. I’m already more than satisfied. That was truly amazing.]

There’s no need to reveal all my cards at once.

I had already proven myself by delivering a reaction that no other male streamer could.

[He just took 500,000 won and dipped, lol.]

[Come on, sing it again!]

[oo]

[Encore! Encore! Encore!]

“Moonhwa-nim said it’s okay. Did you donate 500,000 won?”

[Lol, he’s only been streaming for two days, and he’s already so shameless.]

[Is this the start of his viewer training arc, lol?]

[More! Train us more!]

[[StarSingerYuseong has donated 5,000 won.]

[Sing another one.]

“Oh, StarSingerYuseong-nim, thank you for the 5,000 won! Then… I’ll keep playing. We’re about to have a crucial dragon fight.”

[Lol, ignoring small donations.]

[What an attitude, lol.]

[Already flexing those big-streamer vibes, lol.]

It might seem unfair, but I have to prioritize reactions based on donation amounts.

That’s how you spark competitiveness among viewers and encourage more donations.

The dragon fight began. I circled around to flank the enemy and launched a perfect skill shot at their ADC.

[Shin Yuseong singing reaction, lol.]

(Shin Yuseong – You Her Sister.Clip)

[That was insane, lol.]

[Was it really him? This is basically professional level.]

[It was him. The first note gave me chills.]

[No way. How can a regular guy sing like this? Honestly, I think it’s better than the original.]

[Don’t disrespect the original singer, lol. You’ll get anti-fans.]

[Lol, this guy’s basically Wheel Nine’s superior version.]

Here’s the translation for Chunk-2:

[This is so catchy. Betrayer.]

[Seriously, I’m losing it. This is my tenth loop, and I can’t stop listening.]

[Same here, haha. Why is this so addictive?]

[Can’t quit, damn it.]

[A donation of 10,000 won from “MyHomeLoro.”]

[Saw a clip on the gallery and came here. Looking forward to your streams!]

“Thank you, MyHomeLoro! I’ll make sure the streams are fun.”

A streak of five consecutive wins.

In the final match of the placement games, the situation was overwhelmingly favorable.

Using Twisted Fate’s ultimate and the teleport spell, all lanes were quickly pushed.

It had been barely over 15 minutes, and the kill score had already reached 19 to 4.

The MMR had risen to the point where gold-tier players started appearing since the previous game.

At this rate, it seemed possible to achieve the desired tier after 10 consecutive wins.

[A donation of 5,000 won from “SuspiciousDiningTable.”]

[Came here after seeing a recommended post on a community site.]

“Thank you, SuspiciousDiningTable! Glad to have you here.”

I glanced at the viewer count. 2,200.

What’s with this sudden surge?

The scariest part was that it kept climbing relentlessly.

Greeting donations were pouring in like a flood.

So, song reactions have this much impact?

Should I sing one more song before ending the stream?

No, I said I practiced only one song.

Let’s not rush and stick to the plan.

This broadcast is thriving, not because of luck or catching a trend, but purely due to my skills.

There’s no need to get caught up in the current viewer count.

I can always bring it back up.

“Twisted Fate’s ultimate is ready, but they’re split pushing?”

The enemy’s second-tier towers on all lanes had already been destroyed.

The ADC Caitlyn was boldly pushing a remote lane alone.

I instantly used the ultimate nearby and closed the distance in a flash.

Drawing the yellow card with W, I threw an auto-attack at Caitlyn.

Her health plummeted rapidly, and she couldn’t escape due to the stun.

I followed up with Q, the Wild Card skill.

Caught off guard while farming minions, Caitlyn, who had three core items, couldn’t withstand Twisted Fate’s burst damage and was deleted instantly.

[All-chat][Caitlyn: Mid difference is insane. How do you have three core items by 16 minutes?]

[All-chat][Yoonae: You dove too deep and died. Why blame me? I told you to back off.]

[All-chat][Caitlyn: Do you think I didn’t know? What difference does trying hard make? Let’s just surrender. It’s a waste of time.]

[All-chat][Lulu: Agreed.]

[Victory.]

The demoralized enemy surrendered. Being the last game, I was a bit nervous and worried about snipers making it hard, but luckily, the goal was easily achieved.

“Please, let me get Gold. Give me the proud Gold tier!”

Before clicking the icon, I clasped my hands in mock prayer. I wasn’t particularly desperate, but this is what other streamers do.

I’m going to hit Gold anyway.

[Whole chat obsessed over this. Are we never seeing his… anymore?]

[Wouldn’t he just quit streaming rather than show it again?]

[Goodbye, my… lol.]

[Why are they acting like it’s theirs, lol?]

[Time for another 10-win mission.]

Tch, no one cares. They’re just fixated on my stuff. Perverts. Whatever, let’s reveal the tier quickly.

I clicked the victory icon with my mouse. The result popped up, and the tier was finalized.

[Placement complete – Gold III.]

“I made it to Gold! Everyone, I’m in Gold tier!”

[Yeah, okay, Goldie.]

[Lol, whatever.]

[You’re going to climb higher anyway. Bronze or Gold, you’re just smurfing regardless.]

[Max tier immediately after placements, lol.]

[Oh wow, really? Haha, wasn’t Gold V the highest tier for WheelNine? Haha.]

Having finished the placement games, I safely landed in Gold tier.

It was a pretty challenging mission, but the audience’s reaction felt lackluster.

I expected a bigger reward.

“Hey, I made it to Gold, guys! Gold! Isn’t that amazing?”

[Lol, so what.]

[Gold parrot.]

[Bet he’ll keep going on about it until someone donates, haha.]

[Time to collect money, haha.]

[Do a funding stream if you’re that desperate.]

[[GOD] RecklessOfficeWorker donated 2,000,000 won.]

[Congratulations on Gold. Now we can watch without worrying about bans.]

“Ah! Of course, the only one who truly understands my hard work is Moonhwa! Thank you, Moonhwa! Love you!”

As expected, a big spender makes a difference. Moonhwa generously donated 2 million won.

Just days ago, I was dropped into an unfamiliar world, clueless about how to make a living.

Now, money is coming in so easily, almost excessively.

At this rate, I could save enough to move within a week.

“Well then, that’s it for today’s stream.”

The plan was to end the broadcast after the placement games.

I had no other content prepared, so I decided to wrap it up neatly.

[Collecting money and running off, lol.]

[Not even subtle.]

[When’s the next stream?]

[Post a notice, okay?]

“Sure, I’ll post updates.”

[Bye-bye.]

[See ya.]

[Later.]

After ending the stream, I leaned back in my chair and gazed at the ceiling.

A grin crept across my face.

I completed the mission, the reaction content was a hit, and most importantly, the viewer count skyrocketed.

Everything was going perfectly.

What will happen after tomorrow’s collaboration with Sara? Streaming is getting more fun, and I’m looking forward to it.

[Thank you for your help today, Dajang.]

I sent a message to Dajang.

Yesterday, I was too flustered to say anything, but today, I needed to express my gratitude properly.

Especially since they were a huge help yesterday.

[You too, Yuseong. Great job.]

[By the way, could you share your number? I’d like to send you a coffee coupon.]

[Just your gratitude is enough. I’m doing this because I enjoy it. Receiving anything would feel burdensome.]

[Ah, got it. Rest well.]

Even their messages exuded kindness. What kind of person is Dajang? They seem so pure-hearted and kind.

Even if they refuse, I can’t just ignore someone who’s helped me so much. I’ll find a time to treat them to a nice meal.

[Yuseong, hi. This is Kim Sara.]

Oh? Sara sent me a message. What’s this about? The collaboration isn’t until much later. Curious, I quickly replied.

[Hi, Sara. What’s up?]

[Suddenly had a good idea. Can we add another segment to the content? Are you free tomorrow after lunch?]
