Black Online

"T-that’s it..."

Min-Soo stood with the toolbox in hand, and he avoided Raon’s eyes by all means necessary, as if he would melt if he happened to look him in the eyes.

"Thanks."

Fang Raon said, and then opened the door for him, and with that, Min-Soo bowed and disappeared out of the apartment.

’Those Virtual Reality Pods are extremely safe, according to him, so it is about time I head back to the game.

’I think this is the longest time that I’ve been out of Black Online since I started playing the game. I am itching to get back to it.’

Fang Raon thought.

His new video was still doing extremely well in Lagless, and it had actually surpassed ten million views already.

It was insanely good performance for his second-ever video.

Now he was hoping that it would result in his stream also having many more viewers—he could only hope.

In that moment, Fang Raon climbed inside the black Virtual Reality Pod X and felt the softness of the padding underneath him.

’It is so soft...’

Fang Raon felt like he would prefer sleeping inside this thing than in his own bed because of how much softer it was.

Like he was lying on a cloud.

In that moment, he pressed a button, and the glass lid closed, and his consciousness started to fade away.

[Logging back in...]

[Game: Black Online]

[Welcome back, Fang Raon!]

...

Chirp~! Chirp~! Chatter~! Chatter~!

Fang Raon opened his eyes, and he stood stunned for a moment, as all his senses seemed to be enhanced.

All the sounds sounded better. Clearer. The feeling of the wind in his flesh felt more refreshing, and even the sun felt warmer on his skin.

’I already thought that Black Online was nearly perfect in terms of realism, but this is even better than before...

’Amazing.’

Fang Raon closed his eyes, took a long breath, and then looked around his location, wondering where he was.

Then.

He saw that he was in the village of the 17th floor and remembered that after receiving the Tower Key, he logged out in here.

"Hey, it’s you!"

At that moment, an old village man saw him and excitedly walked over and grabbed his hand and shook it fervently.

"We’re all in your debt for getting rid of the evil butcher!"

In that moment, more and more villagers noticed him and walked over to express their gratitude and praise.

Fang Raon just stood still with a surprised look, as he didn’t expect this kind of welcome, and he then just smiled and nodded.

’The touch of people also feels... very real.’

Fang Raon thought.

After a while, he managed to escape the excited crowd of people and found some peace and quiet in the back alley.

’I should clear this floor today. I’ve overstayed my time in here. But before heading there, I should start my stream.’

He opened his interface, went to the streaming section, and without further ado, pressed the [Start Stream] button.

The red light went on. The chat window appeared next to him. And the camera popped out from thin air.

[Viewers: 0]

[...]

[Viewers: 0 → 1]

The number went up by one immediately even though he had been live only for three seconds—it was as if the person had been waiting for him to go live all this time.

[LadyBelle: Hey!!!]

It was his very first viewer and his only moderator, LadyBelle, who seemed to be in a very jolly mood for some reason.

"Hi, Belle, how’s it been?"

Fang Raon smiled.

[LadyBelle: Great! Your video was amazing by the way. We were all worried that you and Yue might’ve died when the stream died, but I am very happy that you two got out of there in one piece!]

[LadyBelle: And have you seen your current follower count?]

’My follower count?’

Fang Raon frowned, as he really hadn’t checked it out, and curiously opened it out on another interface window.

[Followers: 5,636]

"That... seems a lot. How much was it before the video?"

Fang Raon asked curiously.

[LadyBelle: It was only 80! The number skyrocketed ever since you uploaded the video. You should expect many more viewers to tune in for today’s stream!]

[Viewers: 1 → 8]

[...]

[Viewers: 8 → 19]

The number of the viewers kept rising and rising, and more and more chat messages kept popping up in his stream.

[JohnsonLaw: Yoooooo!]

[SkyF1: Great video, man, loved it!]

[LoneRonin: Keep up the great work!]

[...]

[Viewers: 19 → 33]

’I didn’t expect this.’

Fang Raon smiled.

[LadyBelle: By the way, boss, you should consider making your own server over at Netcord. It’s a community-driven app where you can create servers to interact with your fans more directly]

[LadyBelle: In your own server your fans could communicate with each other, and you can also always update everybody on when you’re about to stream and if you aren’t planning to stream that day]

"Netcord, huh... Sure, sounds cool. Can I leave the creation of the server to you, Belle? I am too busy at the moment."

[LadyBelle: Sure!]

[...]

[Viewers: 33 → 50]

There were a lot of messages popping up in the stream, and Fang Raon didn’t recognize even half of the people.

[SaraAwesome: Great video, loved it!]

[ElGury: How do you know Xiao Yue? What is your relationship with her?]

[VibesVibes: Are you friends with Xiao Yue?]

[Renniboy: Can you message Xiao Yue and meet up with her?]

It was also a lot about Xiao Yue as her superfans found their way to his stream, and it seemed like they were REALLY curious about his relationship with her.

’I also have a lot of friend requests.’

Fang Raon thought and opened his friend request list, and there were hundreds and hundreds of requests.

He swiped his hand across the window.

At the top of the list—he didn’t see it—but there was a familiar name that sent him a friend request.

[Xiao Yue - Accept/Deny]

Since there were so many of the requests, Fang Raon ignored them all without taking a second look at who sent them.
