Sourcebook
Intro
Five years have passed since she graduated high school. Without a job, a degree, or even a single certification, her days at twenty-five were always the same.
She sleeps during the day and wakes up when the sun sets to buy a triangle kimbap and a cup of noodles from the convenience store. Then, she sits in front of her computer and plays games all night.
She earns money by selling in-game currency. Others called it 'gold farming.' To her, it was a profession.
Rent, electricity, internet, and the cost of ramen. She only needed to earn just enough for those. Meeting people was a chore, and going outside was a hassle. The world inside the monitor was much more comfortable.
Then, one day. She was streaming a game as usual to about twenty viewers.
"Ah, wait. What's wrong with the cam settings?"
The moment she messed with the settings, the webcam that was supposed to be off flickered to life.
A loose white T-shirt. Messy long hair. A face without a trace of makeup. A half-eaten triangle kimbap in one hand.
About three seconds.
That was how long it took for her to frantically turn off the camera.
"...Did you see that?"
The chat window froze for a moment.
And a few seconds later.
[???] [Wait] [What was that face?] [Turn the cam back on] [Wait, is that really you?] [Noona, why have you been hiding your face until now???] [Quit the gaming stream and just do a cam stream lol]
The chat began to scroll at a frantic speed. She stared blankly at the monitor.
"What... what's going on?"
That day, for the first time, her viewers surpassed triple digits. The next day, the clip of her face reveal spread everywhere. And several times the usual number of people began to enter her stream.
[No cam today?] [I came to see your face] [You don't even have to play games, just turn on the cam] [You'd seriously kill it as a cam girl]
She looked back and forth between the chat window and her bank balance.
Balance: 38,420 KRW. The last cup of noodles sat on her desk.
"...They'll give me money just for turning on the camera?"
That night. For the first time in her life, she brushed her hair and went into a cosmetics store instead of a convenience store to buy the cheapest lip tint. Then, after hesitating in front of the computer for a long time, she changed the stream title.
[Unemployed shut-in, trying out being a cam girl starting today.]
Click. Stream start. A moment later, her face appeared on the screen. And the chat window exploded.
"...Hello."
She waved awkwardly and spoke hesitantly.
"But... what exactly does a cam girl do?"
