It's a Gender-Reversed World, But I Don't Go Out Anyway - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: Mark[1]

“Let’s look at the applicants.”
I had asked applicants to create a separate channel on the bulletin board for self-introductions. These weren’t elaborate self-introductions – just basic information like what hours they could play and their IDs. However, before long, posts started appearing where people were showing off their credentials.
The most notable was architecture.

[Good at Fantasy-style Architecture]
Here are photos of my dragon and castle builds

– The castle is really pretty but why does the dragon have… that attached?
ã„´ OP: Going for realism, since dragons are living creatures, I thought they should naturally have something dong-sized attached
ã„´ Why the fuck are you worried about realism in a blocky world
ã„´ The most infuriating part is that the OP shows no signs of remorse
– An architect who makes suspiciously detailed dragon dongs
– But the dragon itself is fucking cool, let’s just tell them to keep it but skip the dong
ã„´ What’s the point of using them if we remove the dong?
***
“Ah! My eyes!”
[Holy shit, never thought I’d see a dragon dong in my life]
[I actually like it]
[What’s there to like, you crazy bitches]
[But they’re pretty good at building though?]
[These kinds normally just show off their castles, not dragon dongs right?]
A bomb dropped on my unsuspecting eyes.
Why would someone deliberately make this and post it just to get cursed at? And I muted for 10 minutes anyone in chat who occasionally said they liked it.
“That was a natural disaster… I’m sorry you had to see that.”
[Is this one of those rare 10:0 fault ratio accidents…?]
[Usually the streamer is at fault in most situations, but this is an exception.]
[But wow they included their nickname]
[Lol someone who’s good at making dragons can’t help themselves]
In the end, I added them to the candidates. It’s not like we’re doing anything serious, just trying it out, and we need one or two good builders if we want to consider making YouTube content.

[Experienced in scamming kids’ pocket money]
Until a few months ago, I was a slave for a famous YouTuber. But then the YouTuber went to the military lol lol
I’ll wear my slippers backwards until they return[2]
[Comments]
– Who is this? Are they famous?
ã„´ Seems famous among kids? I don’t know them
ã„´ They’re good at building yeah, used to sell Minecraft maps for pocket money
ã„´ Wait people actually pay money for Minecraft maps? What the f*ck…
– The NTR potential is hot, let’s pick them
ã„´ NTR fans please get out and die
ã„´ Pure love fans please die;;
ã„´ ???
ã„´ How is it NTR when they came on their own…?
ã„´ That’s deep…

“Is this person famous?”
[They have more YouTube subscribers than you]
“Hired”
[???]
[Let’s do some leeching~]
[This bastard doesn’t leech during livestreams but wants to leech on YouTube huh]
[No, adding leeches is for the editor’s sake, don’t be a hater]
When I heard they had more YouTube subscribers than me, I quickly hired them. Leeching – while I think it’s meaningless to grow through others’ fame on livestream, I found myself thinking it was okay on YouTube without realizing it.
Well, maybe it’s because YouTube comments are managed by the editor and I don’t have to see hate comments directly, unlike livestreams.
“Okay, next”

[Gaming addict who games 19 out of 24 hours]
No skills, have played Minecraft before, games 19 hours a day, will fill those 19 hours with Minecraft if allowed
[Comments]
– Are you some kind of NPC? Gaming that much ;;
– Found the cyber ghost
– Can you communicate in 0s and 1s?
– This one’s scary, let’s hire them
ã„´ Fr if we reject them they’ll leave mindless hate comments for 19 hours lol
***
“How can someone like this exist?”
I accepted them, but I couldn’t even imagine it.
I really hope they were lying. 19 hours of gaming a day? Just gaming with only 5 hours of sleep? Most people who say they love games couldn’t even compete with this level.
“But guys, I was just trying to test out Minecraft, but the applicants’ specs are a bit…”
[Just gather them and leave them be, check on them occasionally.]
[Yeah treat it like Tamagotchi][3]
[What’s Tamagotchi?]
[You don’t know Tamagotchi? Were you born yesterday?]
[lololol not knowing this is crossing a line lol]
Maybe it wouldn’t be bad to leave them be and use them for content occasionally.
Keeping the viewers’ suggestion in mind, as I continued selecting applicants today, I noticed the viewer count was slightly higher than usual. It seemed like we were getting signals even before starting Minecraft.
“This might be more trouble than it’s worth, so I’ll speed up the selection from now on.”
If the selection takes too long, we might end up ending the stream without showing much actual Minecraft. Of course, I could stream longer than usual, but isn’t work-life balance most important?
[Server is open.]
I gave the participant list to the viewer who agreed to open the server, and they finished preparing and opened it.
I joined too, and around me were many viewers who had already entered.
“These skins are pretty intense…”
There were upside-down human skins, League of Legends champion skins, skins with unusually big noses, and even skins that matched wood or grass blocks like camouflage. Since we only picked people with Minecraft experience, they all had that veteran vibe.
[The really intense part is that all these people are… Daeju’s followers]
[Without Daeju, these people would never have gathered… Daeju, the troublemakers’ first pick]
[The troublemaker framing of Daeju’s followers is a bit harsh, if you really think about it?]
[Think about what]
[Well… they were good kids when they were born]
Since this was just a test run, I had nothing specific to assign, so I just told them to do whatever they wanted.
For reference, I gave everyone creative mode and building permissions so anyone could build whatever they wanted. Sorry to the few viewers who specialized in survival mode, but survival takes relatively more time.
“Oh, this is quite a sight”
I floated in the sky, looking down at many people simultaneously building things.
Even though I just suddenly told them to build, they started building so quickly it seemed like this was what made them veterans. Among them, someone who was floating in the sky like me threw something at me.
“What did they give me?”
[It says it’s an R-rated novel, teacher]
[Oh lol what did they write in such a short time]
[Really… what did they write]
“Ah… you can write in Minecraft”
Looking at the book in my hand, I wondered if it would be okay to read it on stream.
Even when thinking about what could happen, remembering our viewers’ great achievements, there were occasionally people who would risk getting banned and paying the penalty fee to pull off something big.
Still, to avoid interrupting the viewers’ flow this time, I boldly read it openly.
“Daeju and Creeper? From the title alone…”
[lololololol]
[It’s just putting Daeju and a monster name together but calling it R-rated seems ridiculous]
[We picked mostly builders but why is this bastard…?]
[This is karma for Daeju rushing the selection when prep time got longer]
Fortunately, this mysterious work called “Daeju and Creeper” was only three pages long.
Even then, one page was just the title page, so it was really just two pages. Well, how much could they write in the short time since the server opened?
***
Daeju grabbed the Creeper’s about-to-burst red thing.
“It’s still alive”
“Tsssss…”
The Creeper’s cheeks turned as red as a carrot.
The Creeper’s body turned as red as an apple.
The Creeper’s legs turned as red as the Communist Party.[4]
The Creeper heard its heart about to burst and exploded.
***
[??? What did I just read]
[Nice…]
[I cried a little ã… ã… ã… ]
[f*ck lololololololol]
[Well the Creeper’s chest does look… like it’s about to burst…]
“This is really insane”
I wasn’t expecting much, but it was even more absurd than I thought.
There were many infuriating aspects, but if I had to pick the most infuriating point, it would be that I was the protagonist of this cursed thing.
“Okay, whoever wrote this, come forward”
Then the person who threw me the book earlier came to me.
[Looks like they rushed over thinking they’d get a reward]
[Are they going to get banned after leaving behind this masterpiece?]
I thought that maybe a ban would be too harsh.
You might think I ban people frequently, but I do it according to my own strict criteria. Looking at those criteria, this wasn’t ban-worthy. However, if I let it slide without punishment, we might get more writings of unknown nature, so I did give punishment.
“You get temporary imprisonment”
I took away their creative mode and imprisoned them in unbreakable stone.
And to not make them feel too bad, I threw in a few books and quills for writing.
[Looks like Daeju actually liked it lol giving books to write more]
[Imprisoned but given books to write = liked it]
[Fact) True]
[Seems like what Daeju didn’t like was the partner, try something other than a Creeper]
“I didn’t like it, and imprisonment alone isn’t punishment, so I’m making them do some labor.”
After finishing one person’s punishment, I could finally properly look at the builds.
Despite the short time, there were already people methodically raising buildings with pillars, and others whose builds were still completely incomprehensible. In that sense, it was still too early to examine the builds.
“Let’s kill some time browsing the bulletin board and come back.”

T/N:
1. Short for Minecraft in Korean.
2. “Wearing slippers backwards” is a Korean expression meaning waiting faithfully for someone’s return, particularly soldiers in military service.
3. I don’t know either, maybe the egg shaped pet thingy used to see on the internet.
4. The Communist Party reference in the story is playing on the color red, as communism is associated with the color red in Korean culture.
