The Hero's Streaming Life with the Saintess-Chapter 17: I’m not recruiting a manager — whoever I point to becomes the manager.

“Do you know about that too?”

“Of course. You're one of the streamers on our platform—and you're hot right now.”

“I’ve actually been meaning to do it... but I kept putting it off ‘cause I was too lazy...”

Noodoongji already told me last time—not to underestimate YouTube revenue. Said a lot of new viewers come from there too.

But for me, profit doesn’t really matter. Whether I have money or not doesn’t change a thing.

“Well, I’m sure you’ll get around to it eventually, Hero. If you ever need help, feel free to reach out.”

He smiled with that friendly face of his.

Then an idea popped into my head.

Ah. I should talk content with this guy.

He’s the company rep—it’ll be easier.

“Mr. CEO.”

As soon as I called him seriously, he adjusted his posture and gave me his full attention.

“I’m planning a pretty big piece of content and I could use some advice. Since you’re the company’s head, I figured decisions would go faster.”

[What the hell? Big content incoming?]

[Dkdkdkdk]

[BuzzBuzzBuzz]

“It’s still a secret from you guys, so hang tight~”

[ThatFreakingStrongHero’s channel is now offline.]

“...You ended the stream just to say this?”

“I’m doing a Gate raid stream.”

The CEO didn’t look too surprised.

There were other streamers who’d done Gate raids on stream.

But this time, the one bringing it up was the Hero himself.

“Which Gate are you going after...?”

“Mount Baekdu.

I’m taking out the root cause—the one that ruined North Korea and kept Korea from moving forward.”

The CEO mentally whipped out his calculator.

Global attention. Skyrocketing traffic. Massive profit.

He gulped once, then leaned in.

“What can we do to help?”

“Just... when I say the word, go all out on the ads.”

[Title: What’s the big content??]

[Body: Of all people, he says it’s huge so now I’ve got no clue.]

ㄴ Conquering Earth?

ㄴ LMAO yeah right

ㄴ Earth-Conquest Content (ft. the company CEO)

The community went wild speculating what kind of content I meant.

And that one statement got clipped and shipped off to other streamers.

“Hard to say... the guy’s unpredictable as hell.”

“He’s a Hunter, right? Maybe some ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) crazy Gate raid stream?”

“I don’t know about that, but... damn, look at his body. What’s his workout routine?”

Even drama YouTubers who usually cover scandals started throwing out theories.

They’re analyzing my gestures now. My pronunciation.

[ThatFreakingStrongHero: Important Announcement]

[I was so hyped I couldn’t even sleep]

[Look at his build. It’s gotta be huge too lol]

ㄴ CleanBot has detected inappropriate content.

[This crazy bastard...]

“This is an important announcement, but it’s not about the content you guys were expecting.”

[ThrowThatResignation donated 10,000 watts!]

– Why are you playing with our emotions like this?

“I made a YouTube channel.”

[You said it was important, wtf]

[A streamer making a YouTube channel is kinda important tho lol]

They got all excited by themselves and then disappointed themselves, too.

I was gonna ask Pajijik for help with it, but for now, I told them I’d handle it myself.

“I’m planning to hire an editor and a manager.”

The manager’s job is just to filter out toxic chat.

The editor takes my streams, cuts them up, and uploads videos.

No base salary. 5% of the YouTube revenue.

[No base salary? Damn this guy’s evil]

[Wait, isn’t there a video quota?]

[All he ever does is ramble. Where’s the content coming from?]

“Listen up, everyone. 5% might look small, but it’s not.”

[Go on, convince us.]

My YouTube channel’s going to keep growing.

I’ll be making content no one else can even attempt.

And taking 5% of that monthly revenue? That’s not “small” at all.

[If you get a million views consistently, that’s like $5,000 a month right?]

[So 5% would be $250 minimum...]

[And he probably gets views overseas too, right?]

[Okay... when you put it like that...]

[OverflowingDivinePowerPouch charged 10,000 watts!]

– But all you do is ramble. How is there any video-worthy content?

“That’s for the editor to figure out.”

[What a reckless bastard lol]

[You’re no different from our CEO]

“Yeah, but at least I pay well.”

[Fair point, at least you do pay... sheesh]

“If you’ve got the skills, post one video a day.

The more content, the more revenue.”

People were bringing up concerns about editor burnout and the instability of the job,

but that 5% cut kept turning heads.

[I mean, there are tons of editors already. Might as well get paid well, right?]

“Oh, but once you join, you can’t quit.”

[Hero, what the hell does that mean...]

“If you ghost me or miss a deadline without a damn good excuse...”

[And then?]

“I will fly over and find you myself.”

[???]

[Wtf LOL]

[The scary part is... he can actually fly.]

It was just a joke.

We live in a democratic society where people are free to choose their jobs.

I just wanted to stir up chat a little.

[That was a joke... right?]

[I don’t think it was...]

“Anyway, I’m counting on all of you to apply.

And I don’t need to say the obvious, right? Like—must be male, military service completed, stick to deadlines, all that?”

[Must be a vet (he isn’t lol)]

“You wanna fight?”

[SaintessFootTowel has charged 10,000 watts!]

– Okay, but what about the manager?

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

I didn’t really have any particular manager in mind.

It’s not even that demanding of a job—just filter out annoying chat messages.

“You wanna do it?”

[SaintessFootTowel has charged 10,000 watts!]

– What kind of sneak attack was that?

“You’re always here anyway, so you’re probably unemployed, right? If you manage, I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of.”

They donate constantly, which means they’ve got money and no real job.

Plenty of free time.

Perfect fit for a stream with unpredictable hours like mine.

[Did this man just kidnap someone into being a manager?]

[LOL Unemployment Arc ➝ Employment Success Route]

[Better buy us dinner now]

[SaintessFootTowel has charged 10,000 watts!]

– Turned someone jobless in a single sentence, damn

“So? You unemployed or not?”

I immediately assigned them the manager role and opened a private chat.

To the Room of Truth.

[SaintessFootTowel: ...]

“Answer me.”

[SaintessFootTowel: okay... I’ll give it my best shot.]

And just like that, a proud jobless citizen was reborn as a contributing member of society.

The viewers burst into applause and cheers.

[Let’s gooo, S-Rank Hunter’s manager!]

[They’ve made it!!]

“Alright, send me your bank info in a DM.”

[SaintessFootTowel: ...?]

Come on, just send it.

It’s not like I’m gonna bite or something.

A few seconds later, ding—a message popped up.

It was just a simple bank name and account number.

“Sent it. Go get some food and treat yourself.”

[WTF, he just did a paycheck refund?]

[Wait, do managers even get paid for these kinds of streams?]

[If it’s a company thing, sure—but isn’t this more like fan labor?]

“I’m not paying a salary or anything. That was just a personal thank-you.”

[SaintessFootTowel has charged 10,000 watts!]

– Boss, I’ll work hard!

“Don’t work hard. Work well.”

****

As soon as I posted the editor job on my brand-new YouTube channel, applications came flooding in.

Not just from Koreans—tons of international folks applied too.

I immediately filtered out the foreigners since communication would be a pain.

“This one’s edited for other major YouTubers—and even worked at a company?”

“Hero, I think this one looks great too.”

They’d been the editor for some seriously big channels.

One of the portfolio videos had over 10 million views.

Apparently, they’d recently left their job and saw the listing while on break, so they applied.

“So... are we all set now?”

“Hero, don’t we need someone to film you too?”

“Do I really need a cameraman?”

“Well, I can’t keep filming forever—and if I mess up handling the equipment during a Gate run and it breaks...?”

The Gates I go into are extremely dangerous.

They’ve been declared uncleared and unraidable.

Even with a big paycheck, who in their right mind would follow me into one of those with a camera?

“Should I go kidnap someone...?”

“Hero?”

“Kidding.”

“...”

With no better option, I reached out to Noodoongji—probably the only streamer I had a decent connection with.

Once he heard me out, he let out a deep sigh.

“Hero, most people only get one life.”

“Hard to find someone, huh?”

Then he suggested a different route.

Instead of a person, why not use gear made for Hunters doing clear runs?

“Granted, it wasn’t designed specifically for broadcasting.

But frankly, this is the only thing I can think of that might work for you.”

It was a solid, sturdy piece of equipment.

Tracks GPS, hovers around the user within a set distance, and records automatically.

Even inside a Gate, it could transmit high-quality footage back to a command center using a specialized relay system.

Of course... the problem was that the damn thing cost enough to make your soul leave your body.
