I Became a Malicious Streamer

Usually, people ask someone they haven’t seen in a while about how they’ve been doing.
Bing!

It’s genuinely out of curiosity about what the other person has been up to, or because they simply have nothing to say, or maybe it’s awkward and they just have to say something, and that’s the only thing that comes to mind.
Ding-dong!

There are many reasons, but the conclusion is that they ask about how things have been, and that applied to me as well.
Whoosh!

This is my first broadcast since the Raise the Heart Rate of Molru episode. I actually took a break without telling my viewers anything.
Silence.

After that, I wrote a notice, but by then my actions were already known.
Dramatic pause!

So, a broadcaster suddenly popping up in the USA, you can’t expect people to not be curious about it.
Shocking gasp!

Thus, my first comeback broadcast turned into a casual talk about everything that had happened during my time away.
Spooky music!

“I took a short break, then an invitation came in through the Switch, so I thought it was a good idea and flew right over. My mind was tangled up, and I wanted to get some fresh air…”
Wind whooshing!

[Short? A week isn’t short?!]
Jaw drop!

[For the teacher, it’s a split second!]
Time warp!

[Molru used Time Acceleration, whoa!]
Speeding sound!

[A week is short indeed, right?]
True!

[I felt it was short too before I switched on the broadcast…]
Pre-broadcast jitters!

[For real, I need to fix my bad habit of ending streams too early.]
Shame bell!

[To celebrate my comeback today, I hear you’ll be streaming non-stop for 168 hours?]
Cheering!

[Molkkiyahhoo~ Molkkiyahhoo~]
Party time!

[When I’m outside working and hanging out with friends, time flies, so why are you all freaking out? zz]
Chill out!

[27-year-old unemployed eternal single loner Molbu has no life but Molru’s broadcasts, that’s why!]
Sound of crickets!

[For Molbu, the broadcast is life! Their reason? Unknown.]
Confusion!

[A Molbu’s life divides before and after Molru’s broadcasts.]
Dramatic divide!

[They staked their ‘life’ on the broadcast!]
High stakes!

[27 years old isn’t old…]
Youthful pep!

[-Incorrect-]
Rule break!

“I was at the event hall playing games when a community reporter asked for an interview. Turns out, the opponent was someone famous. Do you guys know George Victor?”
Excitement builds!

[George popped up there!]
Surprise beat!

[The cheerful George from the land of freedom appears, lol!]
Trumpet sound!

[What kind of guy is George?]
Intrigue!

[George…? George…? George…? Why call him so friendly?]
Suspicions raised!

[Why call him George? What else should I say?]
Logical thinking!

[Why distrust Mollu getting chummy with a guy?]
Eye twitch!

[George is the ultimate alpha male surrounded by women…]
Alpha sound!

[You guys are acting like jealous partners.]
Snicker!

[It’s not just a friendly chat; they played games and got cozy, then fell for each other, ugh…]
Romantic sigh!

[Fervent fans of VTubers from island nations really get violent over just talking with guys.]
Danger alert!

[Jealousy? Partner? Is Mollu getting married?]
Wedding bells!

[Mollu says, “I married my Molbongs!”]
Celebratory music!

[Whoa!]
Gasp of shock!

[Mollu makes friends wherever she goes, so I get why those kids are having a meltdown.]
Understanding laughter!

[Just a ‘lone wolf’ appeal!]
Howl!

[With that face, how could she not have people flocking around? Ah, lol!]
Laughter and claps!

[Galju likes women, so George is totally safe!]
Safe sound!

[Shouldn’t we guard against both genders then?]
Security alarm!

[A human pheromone that entices everyone, whoa!]
Attention grabber!

Today, I’ve decided not to censor the exploding chat room. Since it’s been a while, a little fun is allowed.
Ease up!

Unless it’s seriously crossing the line or disrupting the broadcast, this much is fine.
Agreement sound!

“So, after that, George wanted to play more, so we played a few more rounds… My records? Didn’t that come out on the broadcast? I’m undefeated. I don’t remember the exact rounds, but yeah, I won them all.”
Victory horn!

A light-hearted mockery of George went up: “Clumsy, fool, insane George, he just tasted the spicy flavor of Koreans, lol!”
Mocking laughter!

“Then George said he’s recruiting beta testers for a virtual reality game at Jeveri, so I thought I’d give that a try and went to San Francisco… Would I have gotten back sooner if it weren’t for that? Probably.”
Cogs whirring!

[The Just Mollow King donated 100,000 won!]
Cash register sound!

-George <>
Dramatic gasp!

Thanks to George giving me information, my return was delayed, leading to my comeback broadcast being late as well.
Connect the dots!

It wasn’t wrong to say things turned that way because of George.
Truth unfolds!

“Isn’t it just infuriating? They couldn’t handle my brainwaves, so there was a program crash? They said my reaction speed is abnormal.”
Comical exasperation!

[Now you’re crashing major programs with brainwaves…]
Buzzer sound!

[Reaction speed is off the charts!]
Record breaking!

[The developers must have been flabbergasted, lol!]
Humorous shock!

[Is this legal to talk about?]
Curious whispers!

[If no one said anything, isn’t that fine?]
Legal loophole!

[Everyone who should know already does.]
Knowledge drop!

I was detailing what happened after that.
Story time!

[By the way, I saw a document pop up on the wiki, did you see?]
Attention grabber!

“Wiki?”
Curious pondering!

A treasure trove of accumulated information floating online.
Spark of enlightenment!

Since those documents cover all sorts of topics, naturally, there would be one about broadcaster Mollu as well.
Lightbulb moment!

However, seeing as my stories from America had been noted barely after I started telling them was quite fascinating.
Curious chase!

Could this be how kings felt while their deeds were recorded by scribes? Such a mystical feeling.
Dreamy sigh!

Sometimes I wonder if even little details were written down. It’s compelling to think about future reflections, and I’m left curious about what they said about that one time.
Mystic music!

But that doesn’t mean I think I’m a king. Just because people exalt me with titles like ‘Mollu the Great’ or ‘The King of Switch’ doesn’t mean I can afford to lose my perspective.
Funky tune!

Anyway, I’m not a king.
Royal proclamation!

So unlike kings of the past who couldn’t review their records, I had the right to check out the documents about myself.
Information retrieval!

“Shall we take a look? Let’s see what it says.”
Excited anticipation!

*

Wikis allow anyone to easily access and create diverse information without any qualifications.
Kaboom!

That’s a tremendous advantage. It’s like putting books onto an empty bookshelf; the users contribute to building up the wiki quickly.
Building sound!

But it’s a double-edged sword because it’s both a great strength and a weakness.
Slicing sound!

Since anyone can write or edit documents easily, it means the quality of information can decline.
Quality check!

Falling information quality means a drop in credibility.
Truthful bell!

When you search for information on a certain topic through a wiki, you get a list of documents about it, but figuring out what’s true and what’s false can be challenging.
Puzzle noise!

There are things written based merely on speculation and rumors presented as facts.
Rumor mill spinning!

And this is a chronic issue that even documents written about me can’t escape.
Shrug!

“Alright, let’s look at 1. Overview. Mollu born in 2000… Birth date: Unknown. One footnote attached. Let’s see what it says: Originally avoided revealing the birth year and age, but it was revealed by fellow streamer Ryuah that we are the same age. Let’s continue. I started streaming in 2022… It sounds like there’s a lot of TMI on here.”
Flicking through!

The overview, broadcasting information, broadcasting history, content I’ve done, characteristics, controversies, and incidents, and relationships with other streamers were all meticulously organized.
Diving deep!

Skipping over the less important stuff quickly, I focused on parts that would interest both me and my viewers.
Picking favorites!

“I heard that my stories have been added today. Where can I read that? Under controversies and incidents? Just hearing that sounds like I caused an accident. I did nothing wrong!”
Defensive stance!

Clicking the hyperlink that says, “Please refer to the Mollu/Controversies and Incidents document,” I saw a stream of all the big and small tales from my broadcasts.
Dramatic build-up!

[Why does this person have so many accidents?]
Inquiring minds!

[A controversy-seeking streamer, whoa!]
Surprise gasp!

[Ah, lol, the nostalgia!]
Nostalgic tune!

“1. Controversy over using hacks in Agent of War. Mollu first appeared in Sua’s broadcast around April 2022 and faced allegations of hacking… But it turned out to be unfounded. That’s known by everyone, moving on.”
Speed through!

I slowly scrolled down. Something caught my attention, and my finger paused, stopping the wheel.
Suspenseful buildup!

“They have a hidden sadistic tendency that enjoys tormenting viewers. The flashy records of tormenting include typical dad jokes, sudden stream endings, and unexpected breaks. First of all, I don’t have a sadistic tendency. And hey, I’ll admit to the last two skills, but dad jokes? Are my jokes not funny?”
Defensive chuckle!

This was major. What does it mean to be a broadcaster? It means to bring joy to viewers.
Joyful herald!

But if a broadcaster’s jokes are not funny, that’s basically a death sentence for the broadcast.
Dramatic gasp of doom!

What if I’ve been delivering jokes thinking they’re funny, yet viewers found them lame? That needs fixing immediately.
Urgent repair!

So, in that spirit, I asked my viewers directly.
Truth-seeking!

[They are fun, right? ^^]
Loving support!

[For real, lol, they’re hilarious!]
Cheering applause!

[Moll-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha]
Laughter!

[Mollu’s quiz show is a must-have staple content!]
Quiz sound!

[With that in mind, should we do a quiz show now?]
Excited chatter!

[Those who called it lame got lost in history, only the loyal remain…]
Time travel sound!

[What does that mean?]
Confusion!

[It seems more people think it’s fun; you can keep going, right?]
Encouraging nods!

[The viewers are thrilled with your jokes!]
Joyful cheers!

[Molbing shedding tears of joy…]
Heartwarming scene!

[The document is definitely wrong then, right?]
Uncovering truth!

“Right? The document’s wrong! When reading wikis, you often find things that don’t match reality. Please correct this.”
Requests for corrections!

The reason I wanted to check the wiki was also to request edits for things written incorrectly.
Editing pen sound!

After that, I rebutted claims that twisted my intentions or maligned me and promptly asked for updates.
Taking charge!
