Chapter 90: Flare Server – Season 2

[Domestic Streamer Gallery]

<Mollu <<< This guy is just the god of streaming>

If you agree, upvote ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

oo: Is Mollu your friend? Show some respect and add “nim.”

Loo: Then you should do the same. Is your teacher your friend?

ᄋᄋ: Upvote.

oo: Today’s stream was GOATed.

ᄋᄋ: Honestly, the Flare server was kinda mid, but then Mollu just went and opened a full-on casino. This proves she’s got insane streaming instincts.

ᄂᄋᄋ: Watching those innocent VTubers fall into gambling was… strangely satisfying.

<Any talk about Mollun or whatever, take it to the VTuber Gallery>

This is a streamer gallery, ᄋᄋ.

oo: Isn’t Mollu a streamer, though? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

oo: Rejecting someone with deep roots in the streamer gallery, huh?

ᄋᄋ: ᄅᄋ She’s literally a streamer.

ᄋᄋ: She didn’t even use her VTuber model today. It was just a no-cam stream, so she’s not even a VTuber.

roo: It was nice seeing classic Mollu again…

ᄂᄋᄋ: Nah, the real classic is half-cam streams showing off the mammoth tanks.

ᄋᄋ: Wait, this is kinda funny. She goes no-cam when collabing with VTubers but pulls out the avatar when she’s solo streaming?

ᄂᄋᄋ: Probably just doing whatever she feels like.

roo: Mollu, just do whatever you want!

ᄋᄋ: Info—The VTuber gallery is also completely flooded with Flare server posts.

<Mollun or whatever, at first, I wasn’t sure, but the more I watch, the more I like her.>

<She’s a rare gem—an actual entertaining VTuber. If you agree, upvote ㅋㅋㅋㅋ>

<I was a fool. I failed to see Mollu the Overlord’s true intentions.>

When she said she was revealing her face, and then just pulled up her VTuber model, I thought, this chick is full of shit…

But now, I finally understand her grand vision—to debut as a VTuber, absorb all the weebs, and conquer the VTuber scene entirely.

She truly is Mollu the Overlord.

ᄋᄋ: Now that I think about it, she’s actually pretty calculated.

ᄂᄋᄋ: ᄌᄂ She’d probably be a great businesswoman.

oo: She’s just leading the MZ generation, following trends…

ᄋᄋ: Mollu <<< Just an icon of innovation.

ᄋᄋ: We lacked faith… Mollu is simply a god.

ᄋᄋ: Faith is key…

[Real-Time Best Gallery]

<Who the hell is Mollu, you weebs?>

Why do you guys always drag weird shit onto the trending page and laugh among yourselves?

ᄋᄋ: You don’t know Mollu?

ᄋᄋ: You don’t know? AHAHAHA ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ᄋᄋ: These stream fanboys are so annoying.

ᄂᄋᄋ;ᄋᄌ ㅋㅋ We should just round them all up and burn them.

ᄋᄋ: Getting onto Best Gallery is kinda embarrassing, actually.

ᄋᄋ: Streamer Gallery folks, we apologize…

<So, let me explain who Mollu is.>

(Heaven-Tier EoWar Player Mad Movie)

A video known to those in the know—an EoWar mad movie featuring top-tier gameplay.

The protagonist of that video?

Mollu, a rare heaven-tier female EoWar player.

She had the skills, she had the voice, and naturally, when she started streaming, she blew up.

But of course, female no-cam streamers always get hate.

No matter how skilled she was, people assumed she was either a landwhale or a twig.

And then, bam.

When she started competing in tournaments, those “overrated” accusations vanished.

People stopped saying she was just coasting on her voice.

How could they not?

Just look at that image—even at a minimum, it proves she’s at least average-looking.

From there, Mollu’s fanbase (a.k.a. her “broth”) pledged undying loyalty, and her viewer count kept skyrocketing.

Now, with her debut as a VTuber, her popularity is peaking even further.

ᄋᄋ: Ah, I see…

ᄋᄋ: But do we have any full face reveals?

ᄂᄋᄋ: (Mollu’s virtual avatar smiling brightly.jpg)

ᄂᄋᄋ: Goddammit.

ᄋᄋ: Wait, I’ve seen this mad movie before. That was her? Kinda unexpected.

ᄂᄋᄋ: Her playstyle gave off martial arts master vibes…

ᄂᄋᄋ: Turns out she was a female martial arts master, lol.

ᄂᄋᄋ: Rianu Keeves nods ㅋㅋ

ᄋᄋ: If you Google Mollu, the first result is her face. You freaks are insane.

ᄂᄋᄋ: It’s just basic human curiosity.

roo: Can’t lie… I’m kinda curious too.

ᄋᄋ: Still better than some random male streamer getting onto Best Gallery.

<Hey, DC Inside.>

(Mollu’s half-cam stream, with her “mammoth tanks” majestically bouncing.jpg)

“I suddenly feel the urge to support this.”

ᄋᄋ: (“Come inside, Kon!”)

ᄋᄋ: (“I can’t resist upvoting, Kon!”)

ᄋᄋ: (“Moll-Overlord, Kon!”)

roo: What’s with this Kon thing?

ᄋᄋ: Oh…

ᄋᄋ: This is actually kind of good?

ᄋᄋ: As a certified expert, I declare that she’s in the top 1% of Korean women.

ᄂᄋᄋ: Where does she stream?

ᄋᄋ: You guys were just calling streamer fans annoying, and now look at you.

ᄂᄋᄋ: Men, as a species, are powerless in the face of “mammoth tanks” and “dump trucks.”

ᄂᄋᄋ: ᄅᄋ Can’t even deny that.

oo: “Permission to take off.”

ᄂᄋᄋ: “Maverick, Iceman… and Mollu.”

ᄂᄋᄋ: Who is the greatest pilot?

“Damn, this actually blew up way bigger than I expected.”

The Flare Server was experiencing a massive boom.

Luckily, during the week the content was running, none of the major streamers were active, allowing us to take full advantage of the situation.

The fact that Flare recruited Mollu, the biggest of the big, also contributed to the entire crew effectively dominating the streaming scene during that time.

Rita was browsing various streaming-related communities, checking the reactions.

“Wow, the YouTube response is amazing too…”

Most of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

There was no denying that this was largely due to Mollu’s influence.

Rita once again thought to herself—it was an incredibly successful recruitment.

Even on the VTuber gallery, the streamer gallery, and the recently uploaded YouTube videos, people were commenting about how fun the content was and urging others to watch the live streams.

Some people mentioned that they learned about VTubers for the first time, while others said their perception of VTubers had improved.

‘Should I pull out what I had prepared?’

Strike while the iron is hot. Rita had already prepared for the possibility that the content would be unexpectedly successful.

That plan was none other than Flare Server Season 2.

‘I’ll change the server name and expand it even more.’

It was a content format that had already proven successful.

This time, instead of limiting the village members to just Flare crew members, she planned to invite other streamers as well.

One of the few criticisms from viewers was that, despite the large village, there were too few people in it.

Rita personally agreed with that sentiment.

Although Mollu managed to hit a home run this time, a village feels more alive when it’s bustling with people.

‘If each crew member invites one or two people, it should work out.’

The plan was to have each crew member invite a few people who showed interest in the Flare Server.

This could also serve as an opportunity for the Flare crew, who had mostly been confined to the VTuber scene, to interact with other streamers.

The reality of the streaming world is that networking plays an undeniable role, despite some calling it a cartel.

‘The only issue is…’

The real problem was whether the Flare crew, including Rita, even knew any streamers outside of the VTuber scene.

As the leader, Rita was slightly better off, having had some external interactions.

She still had contacts she had been communicating with recently.

But the rest of the members? Not so much.

Since the audience demographics of VTubers and traditional streamers were quite different, there hadn’t been much natural interaction.

“In the end, we have to rely on Mollu again, huh?”

This was getting ridiculous—was their dependence on Mollu becoming too excessive?

Mollu, who straddled the line between VTuber and traditional streamer, was the perfect bridge between both worlds.

Rita sincerely hoped that Mollu would help bring more people in.

“So, this is my house… and that palace over there belongs to Lia.”

“Ah, Lia? I’ve seen her through donations before.”

“And what else… Oh! Want to go for a ride on the Sky Car?”

“Huh? There’s something like that?”

Feeling intrigued just from the name, Daesik followed behind Mollu.

Flare Server Season 2. After receiving Mollu’s Discord message yesterday, Daesik joined the server.

It was content that had already proven successful once, meaning another success was practically guaranteed.

For Daesik, there was no reason to refuse—in fact, he was grateful for the invitation.

The idea of mingling with VTubers, a somewhat unfamiliar group to him, was also exciting, especially since he was interested in exploring new streaming techniques.

Honestly, no matter what it was, it had to be better than grinding EoWar ranked games.

‘Maybe I should ask her for a duo match later…’

Daesik glanced at Mollu, who was leading the way.

Once a regular Master-tier player, he had recently lost his edge.

Now, he was stuck oscillating between low and high Diamond, occasionally reaching Master but barely holding onto it.

His chat was constantly nagging him to get coaching from Mollu again.

Daesik agreed with them—he needed the help.

But it wasn’t as if Mollu was someone he could just call up whenever.

After all, she was the one who set up this entire Flare Server event.

For someone as busy as her, simply playing duo-ranked games with him would be a waste.

“We’re here. Since it’s your first time, I won’t charge you a boarding fee.”

“Wow… Wait, did you build all this, Mollu-nim?”

The neatly laid-out railway tracks hinted at the sheer effort that must have gone into constructing them.

At Daesik’s question, Mollu shook her head as if he had said something ridiculous.

“Technically, it’s mine… but my part-time worker built it.”

“A part-time worker?”

“Jay-nim? We have a guest. Please give him a ride on the Sky Car.”

At Mollu’s call, someone emerged from a nearby building.

“Uuu… Hello. Thank you for visiting Mollu Land today.”

“Your voice… Jay-nim, are you okay? You sound exhausted.”

“A-Ah, no, I’m fine.”

Next to him, Daesik was left utterly baffled.

“Alright then, let’s begin.”

“Welcome to the magical world of Mollu Land! Thank you for visiting. Please enjoy your ride on our pride and joy, the Sky Car!”

“…So, Mollu-nim, who exactly is this person?”

“This is my part-time worker. Jay-nim is responsible for the overall operations of Mollu Land.”

That was interesting, but that wasn’t really what Daesik was asking.

What he really wanted to know was—how did Jay end up as Mollu’s part-time worker in the first place?

But Daesik chose not to ask.

Sometimes, it’s better to just not know.
