I Became the Goddess of a New World

Generally, internet streamers tend to shy away from discussing community-related topics.

Especially mentioning the ‘gallery’ is like a double-edged sword, so it’s better to tread carefully.

But during Suzuka’s broadcast, I outright brought up the current controversy along with the in-game gallery.

It wasn’t done with any intention or meticulous planning.

It was impulsive, and I thought it would be more entertaining that way.

After all, I’m not a streamer.

As they say, “It’s none of my business.”

“Seems like you enjoy it.”

Maybe it’s because I was born a streamer.

Suzuka was really enjoying herself.

So much so that her expressions, so vital for a VTuber, got all over the place.

“Uh… this was supposed to be a pre-agreed content…”

Feigning embarrassment, Suzuka slipped back into her act.

“Everyone, what Pera said earlier has nothing to do with Suzuka. Don’t misunderstand!”

Her immediate distancing was so realistic.

Is that acting?

Seeing Suzuka declare cut-off like that sparked my mischievous side and I wore a playful grin.

“Huh? But you told me to say that, Suzuka-san.”

“What? When did I say that?!”

“You definitely said it would be good for views…”

―――

Hahaha
Suzuka Gate, oh wow
OMG
A view count obsessed girl
I knew it
Clarify yourself
―――

Dori dori dori
Suzuka’s head whipped around as she saw the viewers’ responses.
With maximum denial, Suzuka clapped her hands.

“Okay, okay. That’s why we’re gathering the saint today!”

Gathering… huh?

“I’m not too sure, but I heard that the Priest is going to do a solo run in the cradle. Is that true?”

“Yes, that’s correct! And so it’s posted in the gallery…”

“Oops, I did try the solo in the cradle, but it was too hard, so I couldn’t do it.”

Is it really that shocking?
I shrugged my shoulders with both hands raised, conveying that sentiment.

“Great confidence! Such mockery!”

“I think it’s being overinterpreted.”

“Shall we go right now?”

We were already in a party with Suzuka.
Since we were streaming in front of the cradle’s entrance, we could enter right away.

‘The one who called me out ran off midway.’

The reason I teamed up with Suzuka was simpler than I thought.
It was ridiculous that the core controversy sparked from catching two ghouls at the cradle’s entrance.

Now that the cheating controversy was out there, I wanted to show it properly.
“I’ve heard from an anonymous informant that you can finish the cradle in three minutes.”

―――

What the hell?
Yeah, definitely a cheater
Finishing solo in three minutes is intense
Aurora is here, haha
Let’s go get a real-time arrest~
―――

Since I shared the chat window, I could see the messages popping up too.
Glancing over, it seemed like troublemaker streamers were swarming in, ruining the vibe.

“Any secret methods? If you have any, can you share just a little bit?”

“Secret methods… there’s nothing that grand.”

I checked the mini-map for the boss room’s location first.
Then I quickly calculated the shortest route and sprang into action.
After explaining that briefly, I pointed to the two ghouls blocking the passage.

“I’m not great with words, so let me show you instead.”

The ghoul hunting started the cheating controversy.
As I handled the ghouls quickly, just as I usually do.

“Wow. Seeing it in action makes you look even faster.”

“Of course. My agility is at 10.”

“Huh?”

Suzuka looked visibly shocked.

I showed her my arm bitten by a ghoul and continued explaining.
“I raised my durability to 10 too. Because of that, getting bitten by a ghoul didn’t do much damage.”

“What do you mean by…”

There wasn’t much to think about regarding a Priest’s stat distribution.
Because every skill has a holy power coefficient, just max out the holy power.

That was the standard; it was fitting, and it was the right way to build.

“Of course, this method is quite unconventional.”

The director would recommend proper play, and I wanted to, but…
What can I do? The image of the saint focused on farming is too deeply ingrained, and it’s hard to find a party now.

“From the last Suzuka stream, I casually shared a tip that only I knew… and ever since, it’s been hard to find a party.”

“Ah, that….”

―――

OMG
Suzuka was in the wrong
Wow, Suzuka is trash
These guys are crazy
―――

Actually, what Suzuka did wasn’t wrong.
It was me who shared the secret tip knowing full well it was live-streaming.
It was those rice-farming people, the workshop guys, who caused the situation to explode.

It wasn’t Suzuka’s fault when she was nervous, folding and unfolding her fingers as she watched me.

“It’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong, Suzuka-san.”

Pat pat-

As I warmly comforted her, Suzuka looked at me with teary eyes.

“You’re so kind, Saint.”

“….”

“Can I call you Saint?”

“…. Yes.”

What is this, pre-approval before reporting?
I’m not a military high school girl or anything.
Still, since “Farming Saint” is a better title than “Cheater,” I accepted.

After that, I proceeded from room to room, explaining appropriate strategies and skill management.
With each explanation, I noticed the previously suspicious chat turning friendlier.

In the midst of it, a donation popped up in front of Suzuka and me.
―――

10,000 won donation from OO
– No matter how I look at it, that’s not the speed of someone with 10 agility. Are you going to clarify that?
―――

The questioning words of the suspicious anonymous ‘OO’.
―――

OMG
Quiet
That is true
Well, if you’re pretty, it’s no crime
Stop whining
―――

More viewers started voicing support for the commenter.
I felt a little sorry for the visibly anxious Suzuka.
‘There’s no helping it, I guess.’

Even I had to admit that wasn’t a speed that could be achieved with 10 agility.
Before the collab, I had seen Master Kim delve into the “Teaching Episode”.
If I had my way, I would have loved to see the Knight Commander going through Golem Training live but…

I wanted to suppress the heated controversy surrounding the cheating before it escalated, so I prioritized the collab.

Looking back, what I truly wanted was just one thing.
I wished for information about Golem Training to be revealed for the first time in Master Kim’s stream.
Not as a director disguised as a regular player.

However, seeing how things were playing out, that wish seemed more like a luxury.
First, I needed to put out the immediate fire. That was all I could think of.
‘The future me can handle what comes next.’

Dressing up as Akare and having too much fun led me to dive into Golem Training, which was a mistake.
Now regretting it wouldn’t change anything.
I could only hope to absolve my past sins and wish that nothing else would happen.

“Actually, I have a secret tip that I’ve been keeping.”

“You’ve got another secret tip?”

After taking a breath, I started explaining Golem Training.
Of course, I didn’t use the term ‘Golem Training’.
I wrapped it up by saying there’s a system like this, and I discovered it by chance.
As I finished that explanation, Suzuka, who had been quietly listening, asked me a question.

“How did you know such a mechanism even existed?”

“Well, I kept getting my hand bitten by a zombie…”

I knew it. My answer sounded absolutely crazy.
What kind of woman would keep letting a weird-looking zombie bite her hand?

Of course, I displayed that kind of madness in the last Suzuka stream.
What could I do? It was the most convenient and profitable method.

‘She definitely looks skeptical.’

How could I prove this Golem Training mechanism?
After pondering for a moment, a direct method popped into my head and I acted on it instantly.

“Watch closely.”

I scratched my finger on the pointy end of a cross, inflicting a wound.
I then immediately cast Heal, wrapping holy power around my fist.
With that, I hit the wall next to me with all my might.
Bang-!

A loud crash echoed, and at the same time, a fist-sized hole was made in the part I struck.

“Did I break it?”
―――

???
You said 1 attack power
That’s scary
What the heck?
―――

Seeing a response that wasn’t what I expected, I realized something must have gone wrong.
Holding an inward sigh, I silently guided Suzuka to tackle the boss.
***

Currently, Master Kim was in the top-ranking scouting party.
Drawing on his beta test experience, he pushed forward.
He reached a level where he could confidently say he knew quite a bit about Akare.
At least Master Kim himself evaluated himself that way.
Objectively speaking, his growth speed was overwhelmingly fast compared to others.

In that situation, Master Kim achieved level 50 for the first time in Akare.
A structure that couldn’t help but bring about pride.

Regardless, upon reaching level 50, the resultant main story was straightforward.
He eradicated the heretics who sought to incite internal chaos in the Empire.
And earned the Emperor’s trust, gaining an opportunity.

The chance.

To save Raven, who chose sacrifice even in her second life.
The ‘Teaching’ event that occurred as he reached level 50 was the first step toward seizing that opportunity.

Step by step- step by step-

At the center of the empty parade ground,
Master Kim stood alone, gazing ahead.
A knight clad in armor emblazoned with the royal crest appeared before him.
After the knight took his position in front of Master Kim, he broke the silence.

“I am Jasper, the Knight Commander of the Black-Maned Knights. You are the foreigner favored by His Majesty, Master Kim, am I correct?”

“Yes, that is correct.”
―――

A power equivalent to that of the empire, oh wow
Info) The Black-Maned Knights are directly subordinate to the royal family.
That lion helmet is wicked cool
The aura is unreal
―――

Gulp-

I instinctively swallowed the drool pooled in my mouth.
Jasper’s intimidating presence created tension in my body.

“It seems His Majesty values your potential highly. Even to the extent of entrusting you with ‘Golem Training.'”

“What… what is Golem Training?”

“Oh, you are a foreigner. What Golem Training means is…”

Mid-explanation, Jasper moved.
And at that moment, the world froze, revealing choices to Master Kim.

[ Knight Commander’s Teaching – Defense ]
[ Knight Commander’s Teaching – Counterattack ]
[ Knight Commander’s Teaching – Evasion ]

“….”

Master Kim gazed at the glimmering blades visible beyond the semi-transparent options.
He merely registered the motion, but suddenly, Jasper’s sword was right before his eyes.

“How on earth did he unsheath it? I just can’t grasp it.”
―――

Did he move frame by frame?
Wow, this is insane
What just happened?
Couldn’t even process, haha
―――

The viewers showed reactions similar to Master Kim’s bewilderment.
“Guys, no matter how I look at it, choosing Counterattack or Evasion seems like madness.”

―――

Totally lol
For real
I agree
Just feels like a decapitation waiting to happen
Leaping forward -> *death*
―――

Humbled, Master Kim selected Evasion and timed his leap forward perfectly.
“Where do you think you’re going with someone in front of you?”

However, Jasper chased closely behind, grabbing Master Kim by the hair and throwing him to the ground.

“I will teach you what Golem Training is.”

Through the dust mingled with dirt, a silhouette approached the blood-soaked Master Kim.
“Please, High Priest Antrio.”

With Jasper’s request came a warm light that dispelled the smoke, reaching Master Kim.

“This is…”

“Heavenly Healing. A miracle only available to the High Priest.”

Recognize it as a blessing.
Before Jasper finished his sentence, Master Kim’s health was fully restored.

“Thank you.”

“Heh… A young man who knows his manners. I quite like that in people.”

Having said his piece, High Priest Antrio stepped back.

“By the way, you don’t seem to be suffering much.”

“…Iwas born that way; I don’t feel much pain.”

“Oh? A talent for pain relief, perhaps? You are truly blessed.”

Admiring in a soft tone, Jasper sheathed the sword he had drawn earlier.
“So, what exactly is Golem Training?”

“Didn’t you feel it? What we just did was Golem Training.”

Master Kim’s clueless expression prompted Jasper to expand on the explanation.

“It’s a process of shocking the body and recovering, creating a superior physique. Just think of it as switching the subject of training from a weapon to a human.”

With the continuation of the explanation, Master Kim had roughly grasped the concept of ‘Golem Training’ but looked shocked.

“Wait, did you undergo Golem Training as well, Sir Jasper? I underestimated you.”

“The road ahead is still long. Let’s continue.”

Jasper gripped the hilt of his sword and raised his momentum.
At that moment, a red light flickered behind the lion helmet.

[ Indie Minor Game Gallery ]

Today, the in-game gallery was buzzing with a crazy variety of gossip.
Priest over-balance rumors. The rice-farming saint’s cheating controversy. Akare’s first 50-level achievement rumors.

Beyond that, a plethora of other gossip swirled around.
But there was one that caught the major spotlight.

―――

[ Title ] Three Reasons Pera is the Developer of Akare [1921]

1. Pera was aware that prayer at the church grants daily buffs.

2. Pera knew how to use Heal aggressively against undead monsters.

3. Pera knew about ‘Golem Training’ that appears in the ‘Teaching’ event upon reaching level 50.

(Proof video for reason 1)

(Proof video for reason 2)

(Proof video for reason 3)

The important point here is that Pera is, after all, a ‘woman.’
Generally, Akare characters follow their real-world gender.
Thus, Pera is female and, at the same time, the developer of Akare.

Suddenly, a woman popped up in my mind.
(A pixelated image of Aurora’s face)
No matter how you slice it, if it’s her, that’s a hard pass, lol
