I Became a Malicious Streamer

– On Day 3 of Molru’s reign, our tribe has grown to 8 members. At the same time, the System notified us that our tribe has conquered this area, and the tribe leader, Molru, has earned the title of King.

– On Day 4 of Molru’s reign, the King went out to conquer, and the surrounding tribes fled in terror. Abandoned Base Camps were plentiful.

– On Day 5 of Molru’s reign, the King succeeded in conquering yet another tribe and expanded our territory, truly making it a peaceful era. The young citizens praised the King’s bravery and wisdom, enjoying a prosperous time.

Cut!

The arrow released from my hand flies toward a distant target without a single wobble and pierces it straight through.

And that target happens to be the enemy’s head. One headshot, and they drop dead silently.

[This person is really good at archery]
[One shot, one kill!]
[Jo-Mong Molru ㄷㄷㄷ]
[It’s harder to hit with arrows as their path follows a parabola]
[What can’t Molru do?]
[Maybe the sense of humor…]
[Agreed…]
[But that actually got funny after listening to it…]

I am the Conqueror King. I didn’t intend for it to happen, but here we are.

It all started to reclaim stolen items. Since Rita, our tribe’s storage and supply manager, had her inventory raided, I searched for the culprits and annihilated that tribe.

However, in the process, I ended up acquiring not only the stolen items but other valuable loot as well. For instance, precious iron ore and mithril… you know, shiny minerals.

[I thought it was just raiding, but turns out it was a treasure goblin ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[How much is all this worth?]
[Let’s make mithril swords!]

According to Teacher Wol, to mine these, we need a mine and specialized pickaxes, and the procedures here are not too complicated. So, it means it requires a lot of effort. For a tribe as small as ours, it’s a dream we can’t even dare to have.

The other tribe must have had a larger population because they had many valuable items that required significant labor. Despite that, they crumbled way too easily against our onslaught.

They always say the first time is the hardest. Once I unintentionally destroyed another tribe, the next time became much easier.

I just charge in, kill everyone, and take the supplies. A few of them even joined our tribe.

Along the way, I had an epiphany.

Ah, war is actually cheaper.

While solidifying our foundation is important, simply conquering camps from surrounding tribes and plundering supplies is much more efficient than basic labor. The fertile land yields a rich bounty of spoils, along with new labor sources captured from the tribes.

Now I understand why ancient kings were so obsessed with expanding their territories.

As I empathized with the hearts of kings and continued to fight, I truly became a king.

– You have become one of the largest tribes in the World! Tribe Leader ‘Molru’ has earned the title of King!

[King ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Mol-King Gaelis ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The primitive leader who was leading a tribe has truly become a king…]
[He certainly beat up all nearby tribes]
[So you need to do something like that to be recognized as a king]

I’ve never liked embarrassing titles. When viewers call me Mol-king or Goddess, I feel awkward and don’t know what to say, so I just keep my mouth shut and play the game quietly.

Still, while broadcasting, I’ve developed quite a thick skin, but those titles remain uncomfortable.

The fortunate thing is that I’ve learned how to handle such situations. Now, I don’t let these one-sided praises and jests get to me. With a proud heart, I spoke up.

“King… So, I am a king, right?”

[Yes]
[That’s right]
[Queen Molru, wow!]
[Your Majesty, heehee…]

The theme is king. Fortunately, a few lines crossed my mind.

“Then, to commemorate my becoming a king, I will ask a quiz about kings! Those who have watched my broadcasts for a long time, my Molbu, should be able to answer it, right?”

[Craaaack]
[Stop!]
[Ant extermination on]
[When will you stop that stupid joke?]
[Fun quiz time! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

The vibe in the chat room shifts dramatically. Comments about the queen or goddess vanish, leaving only a crowd engulfed in shock and horror.

I have no idea why there’s such a negative reaction, but it’s a good thing for me. It shows I have grounds to establish some rules among these people.

[The leader is adorable, trying to be funny, making it awkward ㅋㅋ]
[For real, the soup is bubbling…]

Of course, there are already those who have developed immunity to my antics.

– Thank you for enjoying ‘Island’, streamers. We announce that ‘Island’ will be ending today, and we will return with an upgraded system…

Where there is a meeting, there’s parting. The Island was slowly bidding us farewell.

“It’s the last one… a bit regrettable,” Rita said beside me. As she said, it was true. In a little less than a week, I had formed various bonds while playing on this island.

Not only with the tribe members but with the island itself. It was a fun experience over the week. I didn’t think of any other games.

“Since it’s the last one, how about we have fireworks to celebrate?”

“Fireworks?”

“Yeah, we shoot arrows into the sky for fireworks and also make wishes with a campfire… wouldn’t that be nice?”

Though it’s called fireworks, it’s just shooting an arrow into the sky. It’s just a Fire Arrow that explodes in the air.

But according to Jay, that alone could create a delightful atmosphere.

As the sun set and the stars filled the dark night, the Fire Arrows flew into the sky alongside the campfire.

It painted a scene reminiscent of a young and vibrant festival. While watching the fire rise, we could make our wishes.

Even though it’s just online, gathering together to enjoy such an atmosphere seemed fun.

“This sounds great, let’s get it going.”

“Alright!”

With a tone like Lee Kyung-young, I gave orders, and Jay began bustling about.

The time on the island reflects the real time in South Korea. It’s soon sunset. The island would gradually darken, and we needed to hurry to make the fireworks happen.

This is no time to sit idle. I should help out as well.

I was also looking forward to the fireworks.

*

“Thank you all for your hard work!”
“It was fun!”
“Molru Tribe is the best!”

Cheers and whistles filled the air. In the center, a fierce flame blazed, and around it, people sat in a circle.

It was truly a festival. Outside had been consumed by darkness for a long while now. Only the soft glow from the central flames lit up the people.

A short concert was led by someone. Starting with Rita, Jay joined in, humming a couple of tunes to elevate the spirits.

They say singing is a fundamental quality of a Vtuber. Speaking of which, there’s one more nominal Vtuber here.

“Sing! Sing!”
“Molru! Molru! Molru! Molru!”
“Great King Molru! Show us!”

Unable to resist the atmosphere, Molru leaned forward towards the campfire. The embodiment of her fierce primitive character contrasted with her actual face seemed to transcribe the embarrassment Molru felt.

A gentle ballad resonated quietly within the camp.

‘So beautiful…’

Ryuah thought it was a song fitting for the dark night.

“Up to this point… Shall we go for the fireworks now?”

Ending her song halfway through the first verse, Molru suggested the fireworks to regain attention.

At the mention of fireworks, the tribe members excitedly sprang into action.

“Make sure not to shoot arrows at anyone’s head or your own. Keep your distance to avoid any accidents.”

People who received Fire Arrows from Jay spread out wide.

“Alright, everyone prepare your wishes.”

Get ready and shoot-!

With Molru’s words, a new picture was drawn in the sky above the stars.

Arrows, each containing different wishes, soared into the night sky and exploded in a blend of colors.

The arrows pop and explode like firecrackers, momentarily illuminating the dark night sky.

As Ryuah watched this spectacle, someone approached her.

“What wish did you make, Ryuah?”

It was Molru. Well, what wish did I make? Ryuah didn’t say a word and only smiled awkwardly.

“What? You aren’t going to tell me?”
“Then what about you? What wish did you make?”
“Me? I wished for my loved ones to do well.”
“I wished for something similar.”

Ryuah dodged the question and avoided answering about her wish.

After all, the wish she made was of a type that was subtly embarrassing to share with others.

Especially when it’s closely related to Molru.

‘I can’t say it.’

Ryuah could only meet Molru’s gaze, which seemed a bit disappointed.

Even if it’s online, just being able to look at her like this made Ryuah feel a surge of happiness.

Now she knows. She won’t confuse her own feelings anymore.

Slowly, Ryuah realized the end was approaching.

Whether this end would be a complete finale or a new beginning, no one knew.
