Magia's second RP, the one she had hoped would shake the world—Tia—had virtually zero presence on the day of her debut.
To transfer items or money between RPs, you either had to get help from soone else, or stash the stuff sowhere secret for another RP to pick up.
(API-exempted items like the 0.1% exchange ticket and RP Expansion Ticket are account-shared.)
So, moving the money collected by taxi driver Manager Ma to Tia took quite a while.
By the ti Tia retrieved the cash, the server was nearly shutting down.
There was no beating the server’s clock physically, so Magia wrapped up her stream, promising to return the next day.
Naturally, while she slept, the Magia Gallery was overflowing with speculation.

[Tomorrow’s gonna be wild]
Forget the hardcore RP stuff.
We’re finally gonna see Magia go full chaos mode LOL
[Comnts]
— Magia921: fr lmao
— Magia118: But with this many people and Parallel basically owning the server, wouldn’t real chaos get her in trouble?
ㄴ Magia855: That’s Magia’s problem to figure out lol
ㄴ Magia855: No need to worry, Magia reads WWE/UFC situations better than us
ㄴ Magia082: TRUUUE
ㄴ Magia082: She’ll handle it
... ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ...
But few Slugs could truly think ahead of Magia.
Most were just stuck wide awake, desperate for the next day to hurry up and begin.
***
And so the fourth day on the server began.

[Current Major Factions Summary (2)]
*Police and hospital were covered in Part 1
*Characters listed as ‘RP na (channel/affiliation)’
Mafia
(1) East-1 (Taeho Gang)
Boss: Horang (Ootora Haroko / BachubachuKR)
Underboss: Kim Mari (Midori Komari / Parallel)
— Currently ranked 2nd in strength. Haroko has insane combat ability for a VTuber, so their ranks are filled with followers attracted by her. The second Bachu–Parallel duo after the infamous police duo.
(2) East-2 (Shooting Club)
Boss: Sansam (DingSam / Makgeolli)
Underboss: Haneunnim (Kamik / Mad Dogs / Mind Network)
— Ranked 1st in strength. DingSam is a well-known ex-pro and Combat Tournant host, and Kamik is a top-tier pick in the tournant.
As the na suggests, these are gun maniacs. Statistically, the strongest group right now.
(3) West-1 (Study Abroad Gang)
Boss: Binyeo (Aoyagi Rain / Parallel)
— Claid she’s recruiting only foreign workers, and sohow it’s actually working. Most likely to beco the cody mafia.
(4) West-2 (First-Impression Gang)
Boss: Naoi (Eona / Lapits)
Underboss: Teresa (Morisaki Ena / Parallel)
— Iconic “Nice to et you” duo. It’s absurd that Teresa is in the mafia, but it’s a perfect storm of coincidences. The two pretending not to know each other is hilarious.
Businesses
(1) Thunder Auto Shop
Owner: Cha Seong-jae (Lupko / Mad Dogs / Mind Network)
— It’s a chanic shop, but sohow only insane fighters are gathering here. Maybe because the owner Lupko just loves brawling...
(2) Olympos Food
Owner: Godhand (Crkemang / Makgeolli)
— Includes many Makgeolli Crew mbers, Wicker’s queen Wika, VTuber Regon from KG Dragons, Parallel’s Dora, etc.
Still breaking even since a lot of food cos from API drops, but it’s expected to grow into an essential biz.
(A lot of major YouTubers are involved.)
(3) TCB (Thunder City Broadcasting)
Owner: Alpha-gun (Youngun / Titanium)
Reporter: FoxyTrickster (Tokoyo Miho / Parallel)
— Only one reporter, but Miho makes addictive Shorts like no one else. Their channel’s growing fast.
(4) Dochi Construction
Owner: Dochi (Nezumi Maru / Parallel)
— This madwoman died falling over 50 tis while saving up the money to buy the company. Watch the summary clip—it’s cody gold.
“How did she save up while falling off buildings 50 tis?” Ah, the mysteries...
[Comnts]
— Pazijik280: All the top dogs are nas we know
ㄴ Pazijik085: Hard for small strears to claim those roles...
ㄴ Pazijik161: Otherwise, employees might walk all over them LOL
— Pazijik757: Is there any interesting small-fry group forming?
ㄴ Pazijik757: Feels like I’m just seeing the usual suspects
... ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ...
As expected, the biggest positions were naturally filled by corporate or mid-tier strears.
Even if smaller strears had the cash, they often preferred to invest in soone fit to be a boss rather than claiming it themselves.
Unlike the big-na strears who had so degree of protection by default, the smaller ones could get annihilated just for one bad decision.
This is an RP server, yes, and everyone’s interacting freely—but the viewers behind those strears aren’t always forgiving.
A “fun little rebellion” from a small strear?
So people laugh. Others go full torch-and-pitchfork on their behalf.
Viewers want to see underdog chaos, sure—but it’s unlikely to happen unless there’s corporate backup.
One of the few exceptions might be Darami, who just doesn't give a damn...
“Darai, it’s you again?”
“Why does the commissioner only show up when it’s ?! Are you my personal task force now?”
“Well, with this many incidents, all our officers are out in the field. What do you want to do?”
“Tch. Unlucky as hell...”
Unfortunately, Darami’s ga skills didn’t hold up.
Even when she tried to commit serious cris, she just failed every ti.
Even when she scrimped and saved to buy a car—she’d imdiately crash into a pole or fire hydrant.
The only hope might’ve been if the infamous police duo showed up.
But instead, Mugeon always arrived at her incidents... in a helicopter, no less.
Talk about rotten luck.
On the way to the station, handcuffed, Darami asked Mugeon:
“Doesn’t seem like anything major’s going on in the city. What’s keeping you all so busy?”
Normally, police shouldn't reveal internal info to criminals, but Darami had been in the holding cell so often, Mugeon felt oddly close to her.
“We’ve had multiple voice phishing reports at the sa ti. We’re tracking the suspect now.”
“Voice phishing?”
“Soone’s selling secretly taken pics of taxi driver Manager Ma—takes the money, then ghosts people.”
Darami stomped her feet, clearly frustrated.
“Damn it, I should’ve done that!”
“If you copy that cri, you’ll be in here much longer.”
“Cough.”
“Be careful, Darai. With your intelligence, you’d probably fall for it yourself even after I told you.”
“Well, I’m already in a holding cell... Wait, what’s wrong with my intelligence?!”
But Darami didn’t stay locked up long.
This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.
Ever since that first interaction with Magia, her viewer count had held steady above a thousand—and people started using API powers to bust her out every ti.
— Nope not today LOL
— We’re breaking her out again
— Who said you could rest in holding?
This ti, she got a 30-minute sentence...and was released in under five.
Back on the streets, Darami sat on a bench and started thinking.
First thing she did: check Thunder’s SNS for recent scam reports.
“Using lewd pics for scams... Soone smarter than ’s up to no good.”
— Why isn’t she in a mafia again?
— She failed all the entry tests
— LMAOOOOOO
— She’s doing this ‘cause no one accepted her LOL
High karma? Good aim? Good driving?
Darami was diocre at all three.
So even if she tried applying, there was no way she’d get in.
Her only hope was to start her own mafia with the money she’d saved.
But there was only one hideout left in both the East and West...and journalist Miho had already reported that several groups had staked claims.
Darami wanted to do sothing big—but no opportunity ever ca.
So she was stuck as a petty criminal.
Even that role had seemingly been stolen by soone smarter.
But what else could she do?
If she had to beco a cheap, dirty copycat just to build up her evil rep, then so be it.
“Wow... This guy’s a real pro... 20 scam cases already?”
— Dude’s a nace LOL
— Elite-level scamr
— mmph lol
— mmmphhh...!
— Lord of scams
The more reports she read, the more stunned she beca.
They were charging ₩500,000 for ten photos—and people were actually paying it without hesitation.
Twenty cases. That’s ten million won worth of scam.
And the reports were still rolling in.
“This guy’s a real piece of work...”
Darami suddenly sprang up and looked around.
To have any hope of catching up with that genius scamr, she was planning to prepare a voyeur photo of her own.
But there weren’t many people near the police station.
She searched and searched, and eventually stumbled upon... the infamous disgrace duo from the station.
As expected from a couple of total screwups, they were running around laughing under a fire hydrant they’d just crashed into, soaked completely—underwear slightly visible through their uniforms.
Darami figured this was her chance.
She darted behind a tree, adjusted her cara...
Waited until the two stopped running—click!
“Darami? What are you doing right now?”
“...Ah.”
— LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
— She got caught again 😂😂
— I’m losing it lol
— Why is she so bad at this LOL
— Zzz-tier
But of course, she wasn’t the only one watching the disgrace duo.
Mugeon had co down to scold them and caught Darami red-handed.
He confiscated her phone on the spot and slapped the cuffs back on.
“This is injustice!!”
“Feel free to express your injustice in the holding cell. Let’s go.”
“Wait. Wait, hold on a second!”
Jail. Again.
Sure, the divine hand of the API would probably bail her out soon, but Darami wasn’t ready to give up just yet.
“I’ll help you catch the scamr!”
“You’re offering to beco the police’s little lapdog now?”
“Could you not be the one to say that, Chief?”
“Tell I’m wrong. So, Daramutt, what’s your plan?”
“Ugh. That na sucks, Chief. Even a stray mutt on the street would piss on your shoes if you called it that.”
Thunk — the taser round hit her squarely.
Twitching on the floor, Darami gave her best electrified performance.
“Ododododododo. Eddadadadadadat—!”
— LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
— AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
— Holy shit LOL
— You're the best LOL
Mugeon sighed and asked again.
“So. What’s your plan? Let’s hear it.”
“So, like... I’ll post on SNS saying I’m looking to buy one of those voyeur shots of Manager Ma. The scamr should bite, right?”
“Reasonable.”
“I’ll find a way to et up with them, and then you or another officer can jump in and arrest them on the spot.”
“Hm.”
Mugeon rested his chin on his hand, pretending to think.
“Alright. Let’s try it. Better than just chasing shadows. But how exactly do you plan to lure them out? That guy’s good—hasn’t left a single trace.”
Freed from the cuffs, Darami confidently gave a thumbs up.
“You know how bad guys just get each other? Just watch.”
“...You’re not planning to run, are you? Voyeurizing police officers doesn’t just get you a 30-minute cell visit.”
“I’ll make it work, okay? Just... let use that photo of the two officers from earlier.”
Mugeon said nothing, but the pressure in his stare was intense.
Even so, Darami didn’t back down.
“Co on, it has to be tempting. That scamr sells photos—they’ll only deal if I show them sothing profitable, right?”
“...Fine. Do whatever you want.”
“Whew. Okay, I’m going for it.”
Darami posted on SNS.
“Looking to buy the photo that’s impossible # Nоvеlight # to find. Offering ₩750,000. DM fast.”
“Oh.”
Surprisingly, she got a DM in less than a minute.
Mugeon tapped her shoulder, and Darami opened her ssages.
— Anonymous: I’ll sell it for 500K lol
— Anonymous: (sample.jpg)
— Anonymous: Check it out and send the money first!
— Anonymous: Account number is 369-369~♡
Darami tilted her head, confused.
Mugeon just looked at her like, go ahead, ask.
“This scamr seems totally unhinged.”
“Agreed. That’s what all the victims said.”
“Well... I’ll keep going.”
— : I’ll send the 500K
— : But on top of that, how about a little deal?
Luckily, the scamr responded.
— Anonymous: A deal? Σ(‘◉⌓◉’)
— Anonymous: Huuuh~ Tell what it is~
— : (photo_edited.jpg)
— : The original shows everything—underwear’s clearly visible
— : It’s the disgrace duo from the police station
— : They’re pretty famous, right? This one should sell well
— : Wanna buy it?
— : Judging by your skills, you could sell at least ten copies
— : Just give 100K (20%)
— : Then I’ll give you the full photo
— Anonymous: Just one isn’t enough~ (⁰᎔⁰ก̀)
— Anonymous: Bring , like, five good ones and we’ll talk!
— Anonymous: If they’re all decent quality, I’ll pay 300. Deal?
— Anonymous: That’s being super generous, offering 50K extra~☆
— : Hold on.
— : What if I send you the pics and you just ghost like before?
— : Let’s et in person.
It was shaping up to be a real scumbag-to-scumbag negotiation.
Mugeon and the viewers were glued to the screen, waiting to see what would happen next.
— Anonymous: Alright ♥
— Anonymous: Midnight tonight, Thunderbolt City ti
— Anonymous: North port, Dock 1 warehouse
Of course, with a threat attached:
— Anonymous: You have to co alone, okay? ( ᖛ ̫ ᖛ )
— Anonymous: If you bring anyone else...
— Anonymous: I might get reaaally mad! v(°∇^*)⌒☆
Darami looked at Mugeon and asked:
“You sure you won’t get caught?”
Mugeon nodded.
“My taser hits from 200 ters away. Don’t worry.”
