The World I Was Supporting Was Real

Chapter 24




The comic has been uploaded!

I raced to the computer like a dog that just found food.

I could’ve just looked at it on my phone, but lately, I had developed a habit of chatting with the author while reading the comic, so sitting at the computer felt more comfortable.

At some point, it became a routine to enjoy the comic and talk with the author—though honestly, thinking back, this kind of comic didn’t really exist.

For sure, the latest episode was about the Holy Knight.

First off, I liked Ophilia.

I had seen it in the character introduction short comics, but a cool character showing clumsiness just like a dojin was undeniably cute. Plus, she had a big chest.

Even when she fell or anything, her determination to keep going without complaints was likable. I had a weakness for types like that—slightly cliché but resolute characters.

And maybe because I had supported the author a lot, or maybe it was the author’s own build-up, but these days, there were hardly any lines begging for donations.

It was more about advancing the story.

Back when I first discovered this comic and was running alongside Erin, there had definitely been a request for donations in every episode.

With the blatant begging removed, I found myself more absorbed in the world the author created.

If that was intentional, then truly, it was a seed for great success. I couldn’t fathom why I had wasted my time on such trashy attention-seeking comics!

“Still, it’s about time for a scene begging for donations to come up.”

I squeezed my fluttering heart and checked the comic.

Views: 0. The scorching hot new episode just uploaded!

Of course, the previous episodes each had one view.

Well, now that I think about it, who could sit through the early parts where the townsfolk all just die without any reason when joining in now? They’d bounce out of frustration at the latest episodes.

“Should I give it a look?”

Scroll, scroll.

While I was scrolling down to check the latest episode—my gaze abruptly stopped on a certain panel.

“……Wow.”

Empress Eirene is seated on the throne with her legs crossed, looking down at Linea!

The framing was just like looking up at a divine being, and I couldn’t help but utter the word.

――Well ripened Igguoqueden!!!!

I mean, no matter how much I liked big breasts, getting only a lineup of busty characters like this was excessive.

At this point, Erin… no, she might even surpass that. Compared to all the female characters introduced so far, she felt like the most mature one, her figure very ripe.

Plus, she looked way younger than her supposed age. Although this is a trope in media, I could buy her being twenty.

Honestly, age didn’t completely escape my mind… but hey, maybe there would be other ways later?

Anyway, I appreciated the large chest. Seeing as my eyes kept wandering, I realized I had a major weakness for them.

But would this throw off the balance of the world?

There are all sorts of body types in the world.

Of course, I loved that part!

This author knows me too well!

Enjoying the dopamine gifted by big breasts, I naturally opened the chat room.

[Igguoqueden: Wow]

[Igguoqueden: The new character form is insane, haha!]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Ah, you’ve arrived, God Igguoqueden.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Do you like the Empress?]

[Igguoqueden: Well ripened Igguoqueden~~!!!!]

[PleaseGiveMoney: I don’t quite understand what you mean, but seeing your joy makes me happy as well.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: For someone in my position, having continuous coincidences feels like good fortune.]

[Igguoqueden: Coincidence?]

[PleaseGiveMoney: The Empress’s big breasts are a product of coincidence!]

Again!

She drew her this big just for me, and then said that.

But it’s okay. After thinking for a few days, I felt it was silly to keep making comments when we were both deep into this.

Shouldn’t I join in on the fun too?

[Igguoqueden: Oh author, you really know how to please the divine!]

[PleaseGiveMoney: I’m really glad to hear that you’re pleased by the divine’s sentiment.]

I loved how they adapted to even calling themselves a god.

Such a desire for recognition, this cunning one. They’re turning me into a dopamine-drunk, full-time fan.

Thus, I enjoyed the comic all the way to the last panel.

Hmm… was the villain this time the Emperor?

From what I can gather with “blood doesn’t stain”—it didn’t seem like they were aiming to kill Luka and Ophilia.

It seemed they were trying to strip them of their Holy Knight positions through some plan.

But beyond that, I couldn’t help but marvel again at the last panel.

Strangely enough, the begging for donations I mentioned earlier… was now being executed very elegantly at this timing.

If the goddess was watching, she’d stop it—The Emperor’s last line.

Translating that meant, “To save Luka and Ophilia in danger, we need donations! Please spend some money!”

“Does it hit a bit?”

At this point, it felt more funny than unpleasant.

This author really was something, managing to beg for donations without ever crossing an unpleasing line.

When I first discovered the comic, my reaction was honestly more of disbelief than enjoyment… but were they tailoring it to my taste as they kept receiving donations?

[Igguoqueden: I’ve seen it all… it was fun today too.]

[Igguoqueden: But I feel like it’s about time to ask for some donations.]

[Igguoqueden: Let’s go for an education session on the Empress!]

Though I did say “education,” she was both pretty and buxom, and given that nothing had happened yet, I didn’t plan to go too harsh.

I was wondering how much to spend to scold her with divine power while keeping proper boundaries—while deep in thought.

[PleaseGiveMoney: Ah, God Igguoqueden. Before that, I have something to mention.]

[Igguoqueden: ?]

[PleaseGiveMoney: We’ve been thinking a lot about what we can do for your sustained support.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: This world receives a warm light under your care, so it’s a crucial matter.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Should I say we are always preparing something new?]

[Igguoqueden: What’s the conclusion?]

And then.

After starting the chat, the author who hadn’t crossed the line while making me engrossed—finally crossed it.

[PleaseGiveMoney: So… It’s a “new BM.”]

[Igguoqueden: Hahaha, it’s hilarious how you straightforwardly say it’s a new BM while trying to keep up a concept!]

[PleaseGiveMoney: What? It’s not just a concept… it’s not!]

[PleaseGiveMoney: SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1YUcyU0laODBPYTBadTZtc1BYQjlVQnFocDdrd1FXZkF4Vnlyd01mbU5pRA]

[Igguoqueden: Anyway, spill it out.]

Well, the author had prepared this and that to keep me entertained, right?

If it sounds good enough to spend money on, then I should do it. Perfect timing after dropping that trashy online game.

[PleaseGiveMoney: You mentioned wanting to educationally scold the Empress.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: The world altered by divine powers cannot always align with your preferences, that is understood.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Therefore, we devised a plan to show you the most likely “future world” through some means.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Since you’ve donated a significant amount, if the developments don’t go your way, it becomes a catastrophe for us both, doesn’t it?]

Well, sure, if I sunk a lot of cash and then the plot went south, I’d feel annoyed.

[Igguoqueden: So you’re saying if I donate for the educational session, you’ll give me a heads up on what happens?]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Yes.]

[Igguoqueden: Hahaha, I get it, so how much??]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Since it’s the first attempt, I think I’ll try a donation of 5,000 won.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Please note that I’m also observing the future timelines for the first time, and I can’t perfectly utilize the “divine power.”]

[PleaseGiveMoney: The amount needed for donations might rise, and honestly, I doubt I can do it again… ]

Since it’s my first time observing and can’t utilize the powers, but ultimately, it suggests I’ll try to maintain balance while operating.

Since this is a comic, if I go straight into predicting the future, it could leave the author in a bind too.

[Igguoqueden: So basically, it’s like a beta test?]

[PleaseGiveMoney: I question the “beta” part, but perhaps you’re right, God Igguoqueden?]

I sorted the author’s explanation.

1. If I need to spend big money, they’ll show me a glimpse of the future (could be disappointing).

2. But, I need to donate 5,000 won (gotta pay the author).

3. They’ll increase the price and won’t do it every time (if I stop donating after just one glimpse, that’d be a problem).

‘It seems like they’ve put some thought into creating sustainable donations and all that.’

Honestly.

Right now, I was enjoying this comic immensely while getting lost in it—but dopamine isn’t infinite.

I’d get tired of it eventually. When that happens, the author would face various struggles trying to secure just me as a reader.

So, maybe they were trying to prepare various content for my sake?

Given that I was the only one watching the comic, it made sense from the author’s perspective to keep me engaged!

And that was proven by the fact that the author kept introducing only busty female characters.

As for me—I felt good because it felt like I was being treated well.

Of course, I was the one sending money. In a capitalist world, it’s only natural to prepare things for clients.

Nonetheless, I didn’t want to regard someone who was trying to draw a tailored comic for me purely through a capitalist mindset.

To put it simply, I was so grateful for them preparing and accommodating that I wanted to spend some money.

[Igguoqueden: Hahaha, then let’s do it as a test.]

[Igguoqueden: Future glimpse of the Empress educational session, let’s go go!]

[Igguoqueden (Donation / 5,000 won / New BM ON)]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Thank you, God Igguoqueden.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Thanks for your thoughtful donation, and I’ll gather a few scenes that might unveil the future upon educating the Empress with your generous support.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: The information might seem disorganized, but it will capture the key moments of what changes the divine support may bring, so don’t worry!]

[Igguoqueden: Okie dokie.]

How many minutes had passed since then?

…No, it wasn’t just a few minutes. This time, quite a considerable amount of time had passed.

After eating, cleaning up, exercising a bit, and wasting time watching short videos to zone out.

The chat notification rang again, exactly 6 hours and 50 minutes later.

[PleaseGiveMoney: I sincerely apologize for the delay, God Igguoqueden.]

[PleaseGiveMoney: Predicting and observing the future scenes was tougher than I expected…]

[PleaseGiveMoney: This time, somehow I succeeded, but it seems we can’t attempt this reliably yet…]

[Igguoqueden: Hahaha, it’s all good.]

To prevent unleashing the future whimsically and utilizing his time efficiently, they must’ve been deeply focused.

I always think about this, but really, no one is as sincere about their concept as this person.

[PleaseGiveMoney: Here it is. A tiny shard of what the future may hold when the Empress gets educated: xkwnfv.wo.to]

* * *

The first scene—a remarkably large auditorium.

It looked like a circular arena, filled with countless people seated.

‘What is this?’

In a rather sudden scene, I scrolled down without much thought.

However, it appeared to slowly showcase the seated individuals, and it didn’t seem to be substantial content at all.

What could possibly be related to the Empress’s education here, I wondered at that moment.

‘Huh?’

Finally, Empress Eirene appeared in the comic.

Eirene was wearing clothing that was deemed quite plain compared to her usual dress.

What was notable was that she was sweating profusely, almost as if she had done something wrong.

Thinking there might be more to see, I peered closely and noticed Eirene and Linea were there.

There were some girls who resembled Linea, but familiar characters like Erin, Luka, or Ophilia were nowhere to be seen.

Were only the royal family gathered here?

I was puzzled about what this was, and just as I flipped to the next panel—

‘Huh?’

Suddenly, all the seated individuals stood up in unison.

A rustling sound echoed.

Then, they suddenly began to sing. I had no idea what the song was. It was a comic, after all.

What mattered was that although these were clearly individual humans, they moved as if they were a single-object purpose.

Was this a religious ceremony? …No, it felt like something different.

As I was startled by the creepy scenes that all felt distinct from what had happened so far, I caught a glimpse of Eirene’s face, who seemed unable to stand with the others.

Simultaneously—the second princess, who had newly become the “Holy Knight Plate,” the female knight Linea von Einsberg, addressed Eirene—who was also her stepmother—

“――You must stand! You too!”
