Chapter 95

Thanks to the release effect, *Cosmic Origin* took the top spot on the mobile store and had a record-breaking start.

I turned on the community with satisfaction.

*The Reason Why You Should Carefully Agree to the Terms and Conditions*

(Clip of Ga Joon-sik mindlessly clicking “Agree” to the question, “Do you agree to link Yoorim Company’s game play data?” and then getting sucked into gacha for Han Yoorim, only to lose his mind to endless bad pulls.)

“My wallet has a bug.”

-“I’d rather get sucked into the game and start a harem than this.”

-“Is it you again? Han Yoorim.”

I had prepared two things to make people happy.

One. Memories.

Depending on how they played the previous game and which characters they liked, the summoned characters were different, and their memories were also different.

It felt like the characters they shared memories with had appeared in *Cosmic Origin*, and the users were extremely satisfied.

Usually, my games end the moment you see the ending. You can no longer interact with the characters.

Of course, you can restart the game or load a save before the ending, but that feels fake. Without sharing the memory of the most important ending, it was hard to fully satisfy the users.

That’s when *Cosmic Origin* came out.

It made people open their wallets.

Second. Customized service.

Even though my game became a mega-hit and a myth in the indie game world (though still far from the outer god *Minecraft*), there were still many who hadn’t played it.

This service was for them.

It was…

“Wow, Baek Rina is totally my type.”

“Where does she appear in Han Yoorim’s games?”

-“There’s no game with her in it.”

-“I kinda like her too, how did you get her?”

┗”She was just my first summon, isn’t it like this for everyone?”

It recommended original characters that perfectly matched the user’s preferences.

The pickup events were also tailored individually, so people loved it.

“F*ck, Han Yoorim, you’re such a jerk.”

“How many characters did you even make, you bastard?”

-“What’s the point of the pickup event? There are too many characters, so I keep getting bad pulls.”

-“I’m about to lose my mind.”

-“At least there’s a pity system, so it’s somewhat doable, but just barely.”

Look at them, excited at the thought of pulling all the countless characters.

I felt oddly proud.

“Go ahead, kids, eat to your heart’s content.”

The characters in *Cosmic Origin* were incredibly diverse, thanks to the human classification I had set up while making *Infinity Zero*. The narratives assigned to each character were also detailed.

For example, it went something like this:

“I cried while watching Baek Rina’s parallel world relationship story.”

“And I shed tears of blood when I saw the story volume limit based on Han Yoorim’s breakthrough level.”

-“I tried it out too, and she’s really insane. Did she make a separate dating sim for each character?”

-“It’s not breakthrough level, it’s relationship strengthening. Please use proper Han Yoorim language. Thank you.”

-“Han Yoorim, this b*tch, she frames spending money as ‘relationship’ and ‘willpower,’ which makes it even more infuriating lol.”

Each character had a decent amount of dating sim content, which is why the demand for original characters was so high.

No, actually, more people liked the original characters.

“Hey, I can’t even watch the character relationship story on MTube Edition.”

“Why does the relationship story change based on the user’s playthrough?”

-“Lol, a newbie who’s playing Han Yoorim’s game for the first time.”

-“Did you just crawl out of a cave?”

┗”Is this even technically possible? AI can’t even do autonomous driving yet.”

┗┗”You really did just crawl out of a cave. We already discussed and concluded that topic months ago, so go read the pinned post.”

This is how *Cosmic Origin* became a money-printing bug.

This is a wallet exploitation machine.

Thank you.

I turned on Mos’s stream.

Currently, Mos was about to play *Cosmic Origin*.

―――

†Han Yoorim: MalangMabang, if you wanted a refund, you should’ve just said so.

―――

“I thought you’d gacha wisely, so I didn’t expect much.”

Wise gacha. That means planning and gacha-ing accordingly.

Many gacha users played the game this way, subscribing monthly to efficiently acquire paid resources and only pulling for the necessary characters during pickup events.

And most of them met similar fates.

Mos started the game.

A scene of Mos’s character, who had just possessed the game, using tax accountant knowledge to make a living appeared.

Then he got involved with people from the “underworld,” and later, Ai Eoru appeared, followed by…

An original Mabang beautiful girl character, summoned through awakening abilities, dramatically saved Mos.

“……”

[Mos has fallen under hypnosis!]

Mos, as if entranced, opened the shop and started gacha.

I nodded and typed in the chat.

―――

†Han Yoorim: MalangMabang, a character that perfectly snipes your preferences is roughly…

You have three, so you should save them for gacha, right?

†Pape: Soft-headed! Snap out of it!

†Bunny Run: You’re really good at exploiting people, huh?

―――

Ignoring the desperate voice of his teammate, Mos quickly pulled a soft-headed character and blankly started reading the Relationship Story.

The look of someone who’s lost their sharpness.

In other words, if we had a battle of wits right now, I’d win easily.

I won again this time.

“Hah. What am I even doing?”

That’s what Mos said when he blankly pulled his third soft-headed character.

Sigh. He’s already snapping out of it.

As expected of someone who narrowly lost to me in a battle of wits by just a hair.

―――

†Han Yoorim: Soft-headed one. What are you doing? Hurry up and go meet the fourth child. Can’t you hear the cries of the abandoned characters?

†Pape: Soft-headed! Snap out of it! What you’re hearing now is the wailing of your bank account!

†Bunny Run: You’re really good at hypnotizing people, huh?

―――

Unfortunately, Mos’s gacha show stopped at the third character.

This won’t do.

I should prepare the new character as a soft-headed maid.

By the way.

I glanced at the time and typed on the keyboard as if amazed.

―――

†Han Yoorim: Soft-headed one. Playing games again today? If the Korean economy collapses, it’ll be your fault.

―――

“If the Korean economy collapses, it’s because your gacha game is sucking up too much money.”

―――

†Han Yoorim: Why are you taking so many breaks lately? Even though so many people liked it, you ended <Yoorimpic> earlier than planned and took weeks off. Did you become unemployed?

†Pape: I told you, Soft-headed has the face of someone who’s unemployed.

†Bunny Run: You’re really good at spotting the unemployed, huh?

―――

“You guys are just saying whatever now. I was busy back then too, so I came after work.”

Han Yoorim’s trivia!

Actually, Mos didn’t take that much vacation during <Yoorimpic>.

“I was working and doing <Yoorimpic>, so I was really tired. Well, I had fun playing games with you guys, but my body wants to rest at a resort right now.”

Vacation. It’s the act of healing your tired body and mind in a warm, quiet place.

Modern people resting in hotels falls under this category.

―――

†Han Yoorim: Are you going on a resort trip?

―――

“I prefer resting at a resort. Maybe I’ll go abroad?”

Abroad.

Hmm.

Hearing that, something popped into my head.

Without hesitation, I chanted a magical spell.

―――

†Han Yoorim: Yoorim-jesus. Assemble.

†Choco Full Bread: Yoorim noona. Did you call me?

†Chaenarin: …What?

―――

“Be honest. You guys have a group chat without me, right?”

Leaving behind Mos, who suddenly became suspicious, I stated my business.

―――

†Han Yoorim: It’s almost vacation season. Want to go on a trip together?

―――

To be precise, it’s a bit late for vacation season, but that’s the perk of being a freelancer. Working when everyone else is resting, and resting when everyone else is working—isn’t that the ultimate vacation ability?

For me, it’s vacation season now.

“Suddenly?”

―――

†Han Yoorim: You were the one who brought up vacation first, Soft-headed.

―――

“Well, yeah. Hmm. I don’t mind.”

As Mos readily agreed, the others started sharing their thoughts one by one.

―――

†Pape: I’ve been working too hard lately, so I’m thinking of taking a break.

†Bunny Run: Noona, are you finally wearing a swimsuit?

†Choco Full Bread: I don’t mind either! It’s still vacation for me!

†Chaenarin: …Me too.

―――

Everyone seemed to want to go on a trip, as they all agreed immediately.

Seeing that, I was slightly moved.

You guys, you were all thinking the same thing as me, huh?

―――

†Han Yoorim: Judging by your words, you all were thinking, ‘If we don’t go on a trip now, fall will come soon, and then we won’t be able to use the beach scene. What do we do?’ I was thinking the same thing.

†Pape: What is she even saying?

†Bunny Run: Pape, you’re still far behind. I finally understand noona. Don’t take her seriously, it’s nonsense.

†Choco Full Bread: Yoorim noona is still hard to understand.

†Chaenarin: …Yoorim noona must really want to go to the beach.

―――

“To the beach? Where?”

Where, you ask?

Are you seriously asking because you don’t know?

―――

†Han Yoorim: I told you before. Okinawa.

―――

“Ah.”

Han Yoorim’s squad.

Okinawa, Japan trip—decided!
