Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 263
Episode 263 Supniti
Supniti thought.
Today, she especially craved a drink.
Now at the age of 32.
Suddenly, she recalled five years ago when she first started streaming.
Back then, she was still young, everything was awkward, and her mindset was quite childish.
Of course, she didn’t start streaming impulsively.
She had been interested in this kind of environment since childhood, even joining a popular Naver café where aspiring voice actors and those wanting to work in broadcasting gathered, and she became friends with Apple Mong there.
Along the way, she also got to know middle school student Park Nana, who was also aiming to be a voice actor.
Due to the vastly different environments they played in, they couldn’t become very close.
“Is it a difference in talent that I should call this?”
From a distance, she watched as Apple Mong and Park Nana debuted as streamers and thrived.
Her interest grew, but fear came alongside it.
She didn’t have a pretty voice, wasn’t good at singing, and didn’t have the guts or confidence to turn on the camera and stream.
So, she let time slip away in vain.
Eventually, thinking she could no longer delay, in 2018, she debuted as a streamer on LebitTV.
“But… it didn’t go well. Everything was awkward.”
For four years on LebitTV, Supniti was thoroughly a Hako streamer.
She tried and challenged herself in many ways.
However, there was no substantial return.
Instead of building a fixed fan base, the few fans she had left her day by day.
Supniti became increasingly exhausted, and eventually let go of many aspects of streaming.
“Through that letting go, I realized the truth: I would never be the protagonist from the start.”
Not everyone can become a “main character.”
The spot of a star shining brightly at the highest point is only permitted to a few.
All this time, she had been wearing a flashy outfit that didn’t suit her at all.
“I tried to force my voice to be high-pitched and delicate because that was trendy. I even suppressed my personality. I acted cute in a way that didn’t fit me.”
That was the result of trying to imitate the characteristics of successful female streamers on LebitTV.
She was wearing a dress that didn’t match her and acting clownish.
Supniti realized that truth too late.
“No. They say the moment you think it’s too late is actually the earliest. Let’s not give up.”
She regretted starting streaming at a relatively late age the most.
She didn’t want to think about being too late any longer.
“It’s already hard to continue streaming with my current avatar and style. The forced image has been built up so much that it’s difficult to change viewers’ perceptions.”
A pink-haired virtual avatar elaborately dressed in a feminine style.
This was also made at great expense in an attempt to gain popularity.
But to be honest, it wasn’t her taste.
She had only commissioned it according to recent trends to attract viewers.
“Let’s challenge this anew with a fresh mindset. And let’s let go of many things with a more comfortable heart…”
Just then, an unexpected opportunity arose.
A large-scale Virtual Idol Audition was being held on Pangea TV, a platform that dominated the domestic streaming industry, showing signs of the emergence of virtual idols.
Supniti thought it was an opportunity she could never miss.
So, she boldly declared her intention to transfer and completely revamped many things.
She revealed her naturally husky voice comfortably.
Her down-to-earth speech pattern far from femininity.
And she created a virtual avatar that fit her as a 30-year-old, not a cute and charming style.
Although she had resolved herself, broadcasting on Pangea TV was not easy.
For one, the broadcast culture was quite different from that of LebitTV, and above all, the perception of virtual streamers was still poor, leading to many troublemakers causing disruptions in the chat room.
“But my heart is at ease. Yes, this is my true self. It’s not something I made up just to look good to viewers…”
That mindset energized her and ignited a will to do better.
However, the progress in her broadcasting was not as easy as she thought.
Firstly, the buzz around virtual themes was being absorbed by all the participants in the Ugaidol Audition, and fundamentally, Supniti wasn’t the type of streamer who shone brightly as a protagonist.
“It’s okay. I decided not to be impatient. There are roles that I can play even if I’m not the protagonist.”
Supniti’s patience bore excellent fruit.
After the Ugaidol Audition ended, the previously quiet Pangea TV virtual panel was suddenly stirred up by the announcement of the Minecraft server opening by Mr. Lena.
Supniti swiftly applied to become a resident, leading to her luck in joining in the first round.
“Mi-chan’s speech is amusing. Hello, I am Supniti. Pleased to meet you.”
“Why are you mimicking Mi-chan’s way of speaking? Are you making a fool of me?”
In a server where various streamers gathered, Supniti began to shine like a key ingredient.
She discarded her compulsion to stand out more than anyone and worked to blend in with the surrounding atmosphere.
Whenever she had some time, she studied Minecraft diligently.
Although she had experience playing the game, she needed to excel in combat and construction if she wanted to keep going on this server.
Believing she could gradually develop, one day, the environment of Lena World suddenly changed completely.
One by one, partner streamers began to flock in like an avalanche.
The previous tranquility vanished without a trace.
Amidst the Hako virtual streamers, an undercurrent of competition arose, and streamers began to watch each other, wondering how they might earn drops.
In such an atmosphere, Supniti also resolved herself.
After all, broadcasts had to consider reality.
If there was no proper income, no matter how much she loved streaming, she couldn’t continue.
“Where might be good? Bully Gamja Company? But they already have a lot of members.”
There were too many people who had already made their move, led by Mr. Dorai and Koko-nyang.
Everyone seemed to be in a flustered mood, feeling they had to join any company.
Still, Supniti calmly waited without being hasty, drawing from the lessons she learned at LebitTV.
Rash choices could lead to bad outcomes.
Then one day.
“Ami-chan is trying to join a partner company. What do you think about joining together, Supniti?”
Ami-chan, who she had been closest to in Lena World, chose a partner company.
And she encourages Supniti to join her.
In fact, Supniti had already gathered some information herself.
Dana-nyang, the partner streamer leading the partner company.
Having a long broadcasting career and impressive skills, she boasted a brilliant network, making her a notable streamer.
With that in mind, joining the partner company wouldn’t be a loss.
Most importantly, her close friend Ami-chan would be along with her.
“I’ll think about it a bit more. But thank you for the offer, Ami-chan.”
The reason Supniti hesitated to decide was simple.
Recently, she had been eyeing another company.
The first purebred virtual company on Pangea TV.
And the popular picks that garnered more attention than the finalists of the Ugaidol Audition.
The leader of the V-Live Crew, one of Pangea TV’s top virtual crews.
Moreover, they were crafting a wonderful story in Lena World while capturing viewers’ attention.
From the standpoint of another virtual streamer, it was clear that their ‘style’ was entirely different, and that was Seo-a.
“Would you like to do some part-time work with our company?”
What kind of premonition was that?
Supniti effortlessly accepted Seo-a’s proposal.
From that moment on, she became incredibly busy.
She received construction commissions, mined at times, and even developed vast lands to create a large farm underground.
Before she knew it, she had become a member of the V-Live Company.
On the day she won on Purge Day, shouting along with others.
The landmark meeting where everyone gathered together to brainstorm.
The construction funding for Sky Island Skypia that set the record for 750,000 Candy funding.
The 4th Purge Day, where she became the public enemy for the first time on the server.
And finally, to today, where she could proudly wear the Best Streamer badge she had long desired.
Though there were many tough schedules at times while working with Seo-a, Supniti was enjoying the most brilliant days of her streaming life for the first time.
“This light doesn’t come from me. It naturally shines alongside Seo-a.”
Seo-a was a ‘star’ shining brighter than anyone among countless virtual streamers.
From her audacious planning ability to her leadership guiding everyone, her charisma that didn’t falter even in front of big company streamers, and her eloquence controlling situations.
Supniti had no regrets about accepting that part-time job offer that day.
“If I had refused it then and followed Ami-chan to join the partner company, would I have been affiliated with MuYang Group by now?”
She might have received more drops for sure.
After all, it was a place led by the Handsome Park Bong-sik.
But Supniti had already realized many things at V-Live Company.
An amicable atmosphere where no one was out of place.
And Seo-a didn’t just shine by herself; she lifted up everyone around her as well.
They were connections she wanted to maintain going forward.
Realizing once again how much happier she had become compared to when she was at LebitTV, Supniti decided not to hold back any longer.
“Seo-a, I’m going to drink a bit today. Right? I’ve become a Best Streamer now, so it’s okay today.”
“Okay! But don’t overdo it, Manager Supniti. Understood?”
With Seo-a’s permission, she turned on her late-night drinking stream after a long time.
On LebitTV, she had refrained from drinking to maintain her image, but ever since moving to Pangea TV, she openly embraced her identity as a drinker.
She even had fans who enjoyed her late-night drinking streams.
The atmosphere of talking and drinking together was nice, they said.
As Supniti shared a drink with her loyal viewers, she openly expressed the feelings she had today.
She loved V-Live Company very much.
It was the end of a happy day.
