Accessing the internet has completely changed my life as Roland.
No matter how immersive and well-designed the world was, it was not flawless.
There were chickens and macarons, a functioning sewer system, and cleaning products, but no internet felt like an oasis devoid of water.
"Isn't it about time he came back? Is the North that far off, or does the request just take that long? It's been a week already."

You turned on the stream only because you're anxious.
"Hey! Wouldn't you be anxious if your 6 left home? Don't you have a sliver of empathy?"
-Please consider the feelings of someone who's never owned a 6.
-Han Se-ah doesn't understand a gamer's heart... note to self...
-Imagine how it feels for us then.
[Chat deleted by mod]
When Han Se-ah was off-stream, I tuned into other streamers or watched a variety of videos on different platforms.
Through this, I realized that while their world was uncannily similar to my previous one, it was also different.
Movies, webtoons, comics, games, and celebrities bore remarkable resemblances.
However, almost nothing was an exact replica.
There was only the creator of HxH, known for drawing only once a month, and a rubber man who refrained from sticking wooden chopsticks up his nostrils.
In one way or another, the world had transformed - for better or worse.
Discovering these differences one by one, a week whisked by.
Even now, as I boarded a carriage headed to the city of adventurers, I felt a twinge of regret.
"The carriage you requested is ready. It's a pity you're leaving so soon."
"I've splurged quite a bit, so I need to go earn some more."
"True, you did spend a lot. It's probably the first and last time an adventurer has employed so many adventurers in this area."
I prepared to set off, packing the ore and crystals I had collected for Kaiden, and made my way to the Adventurer's Guild.
The warm and amiable receptionist, who had recommended the inn on my first day, awaited me there.
Her soft eyes brimmed with a mix of regret and longing.
Naturally, she would be disheartened to see a senior adventurer, who was known for his generosity with gold, leave in less than a week.
She seemed eager to assist me with anything, even to enter my room each time I gave her a gold coin.
I couldn't fall to women when I could finally enjoy chicken and beer while surfing the internet after 10 long years.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
I minimized my sleep to less than 2 hours, focused on videos recommended by the algorithm.
"Was it Kaiden who stole Roland away? My friend, your imagination is quite rich."

If you find out the details of Kaiden's request, 30,000 won.
The viewers, who had been dutifully attempting to spot any awkwardness in Kaiden's disguise, instantly erupted into chaos.
Han Se-ah and Kim Seok-hyun were speeding towards the 20th floor, while other game experts were still trailing behind Kim Seok-hyun, barely above the 10th floor.
In essence, most users had just reached the 10th floor or were still adjusting to the combat system.
Watching Han Se-ah's stream, they opted for second-hand armor from the adventurer's guild at a bargain price.
While some were squaring off against goblins as a beginner, even wearing second-hand ragged armor, if a 6 broken character found on the street handed over a 4 character's magical armor, it was natural to feel envious.
"Ahem, I am working hard here yet they say that the sashimi is fresh... Sorry, even this is too much for me. I am sure you guys will shame me regardless, so let me be shameless. We have a golden Roland at our house. Don't you have a Roland at your house?"
Unable to reconcile with reality, the viewers reeled from Han Se-ah's stinging retort.
Scouring the internet, no other 6 characters had emerged beside me, leaving them no choice but to react in such a manner.
I think two more 6 characters are likely to appear.
The brilliantly shining 6 event from before showcased three silhouetted figures.
Typically, when a new character is introduced in Heroines Chronicle, one 5 and one 4 character appear - that's how the game's update usually works.
However, in the 6 event, whether it was to commemorate the debut of the first 6, or to exploit the gamers' wallets, three characters were slated for release simultaneously.
Whether all three were male, or if only one of the three, namely Roland, was male and I was simply unfortunate, was unclear.
Back then, I was so shocked, instead of gathering information I impulsively vented my frustration using a macro program.
Truth be told, I had no desire to come across posts boasting about drawing a female character while I was being mocked for drawing a male character.
"Wow it's the first time the chat has crashed due to lag. I guess I'm on the receiving end of every insult known to man. And from all over the world at that. If I sift through this chat and focus solely on messages from international viewers, I wonder how many new insults I'll come across?"
-East and west unite!
-Why are you hitting me when I'm standing still
-I also want to adventure with a hunky blonde guy with a toned body
-I want to share a tent with Roland~
-There are a lot of horny people here
The carriage departed the north and traversed onto the highway, accompanied by the rhythm of various hoofbeats.
Han Se-ah commenced her verbal onslaught on the viewers.
The viewers screamed like cattle being herded to the slaughterhouse at the sight of the once satisfying punching bag turning against them.
Occasionally, some masochistic individuals would plead for more punishment, but the majority simply shed tears at their pitiful reality.
This continued until Grace, who was at the forefront, stumbled upon a goblin village, interrupting Han Se-ah's attack on her viewers.

TL Note:
I believe the anime references were hunter x hunter and the second one is one piece? I think the fresh sashimi was self-explanatory same with the standing still one.
