Chapter 13
Star Stream system—the star stream broadcasting was designed to relay its contents to the entire universe . The subscribers were constellations at the top of the distant galaxies, the actors were humans like me, and the storyteller that connected the two sides was the dokkaebi before me .
[Ha, hahahahat! You are crazy! A crazy human! I should've known it when you refused the sponsoring of the other constellations!] Bihyung laughed for a long time before opening his mouth again . [I don't know how you know about Star Stream Broadcasting but I can't accept the offer . I'm a dokkaebi, not a constellation . I can't be your sponsor . ]
"You seem to have misunderstood . I never told you to sponsor me . "
[Huh?]
"I am well aware that you are a weak dokkaebi . I don't need your strength . I need your channel . "
[My channel?]
"Since you can't seem to understand me, is there a problem with your Korean language patch?"
[No, what is this?]
"I will explain it simply . I want to sign an exclusive contract with your channel . "
Bihyung made a blank expression before belatedly regained his spirit . [Wait a minute . Do you want to make a 'stream contract' with me now?]
"Yes . "
A stream contract was originally a contract between dokkaebi and constellations . The constellation's incarnation would appear on a particular channel, and the dokkaebi would receive a portion of the coins earned by the incarnation of the constellation as a commission . Originally, the person who was the incarnation wouldn't be able to intervene in this contract . It was called sponsorship, but the contracted incarnation was nothing but a slave .
[Hahat, this is a hit . ] Bihyung laughed behind his small fingers . The surrounding atmosphere was changing . [I don't know how you know about such things, but to think that some human dares to mention the stream contract? Moreover, it is a trivial bug with no sponsor?] As his tone changed, the surrounding air was filled with killing intent . Indeed, even a low-level dokkaebi was strong compared to humans . However, it wasn't enough to make me back off .
"It is worth signing a contract because I have no sponsor . "
[…What?]
"What do you think the purpose of a constellation is to enter a channel?" At the sudden question, Bihyung looked like a bad student . From now on, it was a special lecture time for the low-level dokkaebi . "You don't have to be so nervous . You already know this information . But let's review it again to see what it means . "
Bihyung was caught in my pace and nodded despite himself .
"The Star Stream subscribers can be largely divided into two groups . One group is the 'fun seekers' who seek to relieve their boredom with the channel . The other group consist of the 'incarnation searchers' who want to find an incarnation to contract with them . Isn't that right?"
[Yes . That's right . ]
"For this reason, you must be able to satisfy one of the two groups in order to become a famous channel in Star Stream . In other words, either stick to the fun seekers or the incarnation seekers . You have to attract one of them properly . "
[You are moderately well informed . But so what? What does this contract have to do with why constellations subscribe?]
"I don't know how many more hints I have to give you . This is why your number of subscribers still isn't over three digits . "
[…Shut up . Say it quickly . ]
Seeing Bihyung thrust his small horns at me cutely, it was hard to believe the dokkaebi had blown up people's head a while ago . Now it was time to stop making fun of him and take a chance .
"What if there is a channel that can satisfy both the fun seekers and the incarnation searchers?"
[What are you saying? Such a thing is impossible . Even if it is possible, it is only for a while . ]
Bihyung's words were correct . The reason why it was impossible to satisfy all the constellations was due to the characteristics of the 'incarnation searchers' group . The purpose of these constellations was to 'discover an incarnation . ' They changed channels as soon as the Sponsor Selection was over . Due to this, the incarnation searchers group were just temporary customers . However…
"That is a story for when the Sponsor Selection proceeds normally . "
[What?]
"What if there is an incarnation who doesn't sign a contract with any constellation? In addition, what if that incarnation shows an ability that transcends all over incarnations with sponsors?"
The existence of a strong incarnation would attract the eyes of the constellations . If this incarnation continued to reject selecting a sponsor, the 'incarnation searchers' group would also continue to subscribe without leaving the channel .
[W-Wait a minute! You— Is this why you didn't select a sponsor… . ?]
"Yes, that's right . "
[Ha… This is interesting . ] Bihyung grinned at me . [Becoming the strongest incarnation without a sponsor… If there is such a thing, it certainly wouldn't be a dream to become the best Star Stream channel . But such an incarnation can't exist . ]
"Do you really think so?"
[…I admit that you aren't normal . You have attracted the attention of constellations from the beginning, and thanks to it, I have also been having fun . However, there is a limit to your delusions . Haven't you noticed it after going through that? An ordinary human can never beat an incarnation . That is the law of the world . ]
"I don't know that . "
[You have already missed the opportunity . Look around you . This isn't a main scenario . You failed a sub-scenario, and now your life is at risk . There are no constellations watching you―]
"Really?"
[ . . . ?]
