Chapter 1: The God of Alcohol and a Birthday Stream

Alcohol is a god.

It is a magical liquid that lifts one’s spirits with just a sip.

A panacea that cures insomnia and depression.

I will reiterate.

Alcohol is a god.

Therefore, to be unable to drink alcohol is akin to losing one’s faith.

And to lose one’s faith signifies death itself…

Tsssk—!

This became my immediate justification for needing a beer.

[Celly]

A 500ml can bearing a familiar brand name.

I immediately brought the golden liquid from the aluminum can to my lips, drank it down, and then tossed the now-empty can behind my chair.

Clang.

The can tumbled to the floor, joining the scattered chorus of other empty tins.

By ‘other empty tins,’ I meant, of course…

The eleven beer cans I had just emptied.

“Phew!”

–How many cans is that now?

–This insane person…

–Twelve cans in three hours, just sitting there…

–Aren’t they going to die from acute alcohol poisoning at this rate?

–Crazy Gragas (TL Note: Gragas is a League of Legends character known for his love of alcohol and large build)…

–Please drink like a human, gracefully… not like an animal…

–One thing’s for sure: Shasha is going to have a short life.

–Aren’t they even getting drunk?

“Ugh… What are you saying…? I’m not drunk…”

–??

–?

–Nobody said you were drunk.

–They’re definitely drunk.

–Drunk people always say they’re not drunk.

–Drunk or not, you’re going to die if you keep this up;;;

–Please end the stream, wash your feet, and go to bed;;

“Hmph… I don’t want to…”

I wasn’t drunk; my mind merely felt a little languid.

Perhaps it was because this was my first time truly drinking alcohol since becoming a woman.

Well, even when I was a man, I never drank enough to reach my limit anyway.

The most I ever drank… was it twelve bottles of soju?

Ah. Talking about soju made me crave a SoMaek (TL Note: A cocktail made by mixing soju and beer).

Unfortunately, I had no soju at home…

Tsssk—!

So, I would have to make do with beer.

–No, hey!!!

–Stop drinking.

–Please stop drinking and end the stream!!

“Just one more can… I’ll leave after just one more…”

–You said that earlier too!

–They’re totally wasted.

–Who drinks thirteen cans in their first drinking stream??

–Seriously, stop drinking.

[An anonymous sponsor donated 1,000 coins!]

–Did they get a mission or something?

–No, no, no, no.

–Fact: Nobody gave them a mission.

–They’re just drinking because they like it.

–What a crazy boozehound…

‘A boozehound, they call me? That’s too much…’

‘Though, before I became a woman, it was a label I had grown tired of hearing.’

‘Of course, it was less a ‘boozehound’ and more a ‘Gragas’ (TL Note: Gragas is a League of Legends character known for his love of alcohol and large build) they called me.’

‘For in my male days, I possessed DNA closer to a pig or a squid than a human.’

‘…Anyway.’

Gulp, gulp.

The chilled beer slid down my throat.

The aroma of malt and hops filled my mouth.

The subtle pungency of alcohol gently caressed the tip of my nose.

“Phew!”

This sense of profound fullness, born from alcohol layered upon alcohol.

My already dizzy head spun uncontrollably.

It felt as if my skull were filled not with brain fluid, but with pure alcohol,

and a strange, tingling sensation coursed through my entire body…

“Hngh…”

…Ah.

For a moment there, I almost lost consciousness.

–They drink with such gusto, lolllll.

–Looks so good.

–No, but seriously, please stop drinking;;;

–Are you really okay?

–Uh-oh, why are they swaying?

Just as I emptied that thirteenth and final can,

the keyboard, which should have been resting on my desk, began to steadily approach my face.

“…Huh?”

–Uh-oh?

–What’s happening?

–???

With a resounding *clatter* against my entire face,

my vision went black, and my memory cut out.

[First Drinking Stream for My Birthday!]

This was what transpired during my very first birthday stream since my debut.
