Became the Mother of Virtual YouTubers - Chapter 122
As majestic orchestral music plays, light slowly begins to emerge on the darkened screen.
The softly spreading light gathers gradually, outlining the shape of a tree.
The World Tree towers high, its height immeasurable.
Standing on one of its enormous branches is an Elf.
With translucent wings dotted with shimmering particles, fluttering gracefully in the gentle breeze.
In that moment, the screen quickly zooms out.
The viewpoint distances rapidly, revealing the scenery of Jinro World.
A vast grassland stretching endlessly.
Soft, candy-like white clouds drifting smoothly.
Amidst it all, beautiful Elves glide through the air, chattering melodiously.
[Don’t you want to see your favorite streamers come to life and thrive in this vast world?]
A languid yet mystical voice narrates.
It is none other than Jin Ha’s voice.
As her pleasant voice accompanies the visuals, scenes dynamically alternate within the screen.
Next is a thrillingly edited scene of the攻略队 (strategy team) battling the floor boss, the Giant Orc, during the beta test.
On one side, a warrior with a shield deflects the powerful attack of the giant Orc while skillfully wielding a sword.
On the other side, a wizard thrusts forward their staff, sending forth lightning.
The scene transitions again.
In stark contrast to the fierce battlefield, this time a village adorned with fireworks paints the night sky.
Two women dash through the empty streets.
Summer is pulling the Goddess’s hand, rushing toward the middle of the market.
In a fleeting moment, the colorful scene perfectly captures everyone’s attention.
[In one week, Jinro World will officially open.]
Jin Ha’s voice decisively announces.
*
The tempo of the music picks up.
The video flows even faster.
Once again, the screen displays the beta testers in their boss battle.
As the footsteps of the Elves entering battle are zoomed in on.
Thud-!!
The giant club of the Giant Orc slams into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A muscular Elf raises a large sword diagonally to absorb the shockwave.
Then, he throws the sword to the ground, retrieves the bow slung over his back, and nocks an arrow.
[In Jinro World, there are no fixed classes.]
[Only proficiency levels based on equipment and skills exist.]
Swoosh- Bang!
As the arrow penetrates the Orc’s knee with precision, another Elf dashes low, dragging a hammer along the ground.
He quickly bends backward and abruptly rises, swinging the hammer down onto the Orc’s head with all his might.
With the dull sound of impact, the Orc wobbles and falls.
He abandons the hammer, draws the sword at his waist, and makes a powerful horizontal slash at the Orc’s neck.
[If you desire, you can raise the proficiency of all weapons to the maximum, becoming a Weapon Master.]
The next scene shows a peaceful forest village bathed in bright sunlight.
Elves gathered in the market are laughing and chatting energetically.
Standing at the center of those dancing and singing is none other than Summer.
After a brief performance, NPCs applaud and present gifts to Summer.
Summer takes a bite of the offered apple and immediately hands it over to the Goddess standing beside her, suggesting she should have a taste too.
The Goddess blushes slightly, feeling shy.
Among the Elves here, only Summer is a player.
All the others are NPCs, yet at first glance, they are indistinguishable from the players.
[NPCs are not merely beings living within the game’s system; they are individual entities.]
[If you treat NPCs with kindness, they will open their hearts and genuinely help you.]

Soon, the music changes to a grander tone.
The video transitions to show Elves freely flying across the vast world.
Kero, gliding over a green meadow, opens a wooden box by a stream and immediately frowns.
To find only a single coin in such a large box is quite a letdown.
But beyond the waterfall, he discovers a glimmering blueprint in a golden box hidden within a cave after solving a mystery.
[Yes! I found it!!]
He cheers triumphantly.
[Oh… this is dopamine!!]
It’s Kero, who has oddly hidden various hidden pieces while opening sandbox-based RP servers every day.
If someone like him is that ecstatic, it wouldn’t be surprising for others to get shocked and disconnect from the game.
[Explore this vast world freely.]
[Enjoy beautiful landscapes or embark on adventures to find hidden treasures.]
Soon, the screen goes dark.
In a dim ruin, Winter carefully lifts a torch to illuminate a shabby wall.
As clear images of Elves and unreadable texts appear on the ancient mural, her sapphire eyes widen.
Winter’s expression is zoomed in as the dark gaps of the mural reveal a tense feeling, as if she has discovered an immense secret.
[If you examine carefully, you might uncover the secrets of this world.]
*
The music resounds more grandly.
The screen spirals around the inside of the World Tree’s trunk along a winding staircase.
[Jinro World consists of a total of four layers.]
[To move on to the next layer, you must defeat the boss monsters existing in each layer.]
The video shows a brief overview of the map as it ascends the enormous wooden stairs layer by layer.
The first thing that appears is a village familiar to many from the beta test, vivid green with abundant branches and leaves.
One noticeable change is that the number of NPCs, who resemble village residents, has significantly increased.
The bustling crowd now gives the village a proper feel.
[1st Floor, a tranquil and peaceful forest village.]
[Prepare for your long journey here and enjoy a comfortable adventure.]
Upon ascending the stairs, a brilliant snowy landscape sparkles ahead.
In the white-frozen expanse, a massive glacier and a gleaming transparent ice lake beautifully unfold.
In the cool air, Elves with blue skin build ice homes, gathered around a campfire.
On the ice, Yeti and polar bears move in groups.
Beneath the lake’s depths, the shadows of Krakens and Leviathans writhe, heightening everyone’s sense of tension.
[2nd Floor, a cold land where ice and sea coexist.]
[Your real adventure will unfold in the severe cold and deep lake.]
Once again, the screen rises.
This time, a space filled with hot, fiery air appears before the viewer.
Endless expanses of dry, swirling sand and arid wilderness stretch before them.
Red-skinned Elves fly across the desert.
Black-flamed wolves race through the barren wilderness.
In the sand-covered desert, a gigantic sandworm erupts, overwhelming the screen.
The camera descends directly below the sandy beach, revealing the dignified silhouette of Anubis holding a golden staff.
[3rd Floor, an ancient desert waiting with scorching sunlight and endless sand.]
[The truths long buried might be sleeping right here.]
Finally, the peak of the World Tree, veiled in darkness, unfolds on the screen.
A space filled with dense fog and darkness, where not a trace of light can be found.
The cold gazes of Dark Elf soldiers standing watch in the darkness are chilling.
Under the dim moonlight, a d*ath Knight in a cloak and a Dullahan cradling a helmet in one arm slowly move.
Ghostly figures emit eerie laughter as they glide between the walls.
And at the center of the screen, the most grotesque depths of the Demon King’s Castle are revealed.
The being, sitting cross-legged on a grand throne, slowly lifts their head.
With a cold gaze and a pessimistic expression, a striking beauty.
The mother of all demon races, Jin Ha, slowly parts her lips while gazing at the screen.
[4th Floor, the destination of all adventures.]
[I will be waiting here for the moment you come to challenge me.]
Her languid voice resonates with an air of annoyance.
[But if you don’t come…]
Jin Ha stands up, conjuring black flames at her fingertips.
A bitter smile flickers across her lips.
Soon, the flames envelop the screen.
At that very moment, darkness engulfs everything.
A whispering voice lingers softly in the air.
[Perhaps I might come to find you myself.]
After the initial reveal concludes, it took less than three hours for the Jinro World trailer to reach the top spot on YouTube’s trending videos.

“Ahh~ Jin Ha, look at this! Streamers and communities are all talking about our Jinro World!”
While Roji is overly excited, Jin Ha is feeling overwhelmed.
“…Roji, you did a great job editing the video.”
“Ahem! I made some effort despite being busy~”
“The ending is particularly impressive.”
“Right? Jin Ha, it turned out beautifully, didn’t it? I did well, didn’t I?!”
“…That’s not a compliment.”
Feeling shy and awkward, Jin Ha couldn’t bring herself to look up.
