Chapter 11: Because I failedMia was gone for minutes in her live stream, busy checking up if Bunny was really fine. Her viewers were starting to get bored as she was not entertaining them. Hindi man lang napansin ni Mia na habang kausap niya si Bunny ay tanging taas na oart lamang ng mukha niya ang kita ng mga manonood. They wanted to talk with her already and get to know her more.[Tiny Avenger: I wonder what’s taking her so long to come back.][Tiny Avenger: Hello, Dragon Clarinet, we’re still here.][Bumababa na viewers ni Lavender. Parang may bagong chismis tungkol sa kanya sa isang live mamaya.][Deserve niya naman ‘yon.][Pero dahil sa kanya, na-meet ko si Fayde. Baka kung ako sumali sa PK kanina, ako ‘yong binigyan ng mga regalo. Siya rin sana kaso pinahiya niya sarili niya.][Sayang lang, ano? Nag-FO sila ni Bunny.][Bunny has someone to protect her, so she’s not afraid of cutting ties with others here.][It’s not her fault though.][Kasalanan naman kasi talaga ni Dragon Clar
Chapter 11.2: Because I Failed“Because I failed,” Mia confirmed her words, without hiding the truth. “I failed the job interview, and now, I don’t have any money left.”Their chats were only question marks, probably wondering whether Mia was telling the reality. It was unexpected for them.[Ang ganda mo, pero bumagsak ka sa interview?]“Baka maisipan niyong i-kick siya, huwag ha. Hindi naman offensive sinabi niya,” pabiro nitong sabi.[Bulag ba ‘yong interviewer? Bakit hindi ka niya tatanggapin? Ang ganda ganda mo tapos ang bait pa.][Baka naman kasi dahil hindi maganda background ni Dragon Clarinet sa college. O baka naman naghahanap sila ng mas may experience para sa work. Karamihan naman ay gano’n.]Sinegundahan iyon ni Mia. The rejection had a big impact on her mentally and emotionally, but she chose not to let it take over her well-being. She just told her mind to not have any complaints against the result or the remarks from the interviewer; she is slowly grasping the life afte
Chapter 12: Forced PKThe amount of gifts flooding Mia probably attracted an interaction with another user. It’s the first time that she was notified for many times for an invitation to have a PK. Her hand hovered over the screen of her phone when a forced PK took over her screen.It split into two. The big face of the man almost covered the entire right side. Bilugan ang mukha nito, at hindi man kagwapuhan, ngunit mahahalata na ugali nitong magpatawa tulad ng mga komedyante sa pelikula. His welcome behavior was also caused by his eyes shining in a warm smile. Para itong nasa mid-30s na.The challenger waved at the camera. In a pitch higher than the normal for men he spoke, “Hi, Dragon Clarinet! I hope na ayos lang sa iyo na pinilit kitang mag-PK kasama ko? Nakailang invite na kasi ako kanina pa, pero hindi mo tinatanggap.”He was Sky Cuiser, isa rin sa mga kilalang tao sa Diamond Hub sa pagkakaroon nghigit sa 100,000 subscribers. Kita naman na isa sa pagka-jolly personality nito ang
Chapter 12.2: Forced PK Sky Cruiser raised his hands in surrender. Before he went to do squats, he faced the camera. “Hagis lang kayo nang hagis! Dali na. Kapag ako nanalo, ang ipapagawa ko kay Dragon Clarinet ay wake-up service ng isang minuto!” He walked away from the camera and did a squat. “Sa mga fan ni Dragon Clarinet, don’t you wish for her to do a wake-up service? Isipin niyo na lang na para sa inyo din itong gagawin ko.” This host surely knows what men like. He’s busy doing the punishment, yet his mouth was busy encouraging the fans of Dragon Clarinet. “Sa mga asawa niya, ayaw niyo ba talaga? It’s on first-person perspective. Mararamdaman niyo talaga na kayo ang ginigising niya.” It’s not like he could see their replies, pero nagpapatuloy pa rin siya sa mga sinasabi niya. “Kayo ang pinakamakikinabang dito kaya tulungan niyo na akong manalo.” Mia was stunned to see how desperate Sky Cruiser is. It was no longer about the punishment but the gifts. “They won’t let you win,” w
Chapter 12.3: Forced PKThe Diamond Hub declared the end of their PK; Mia lost.Since after her fight with Trojan Virus or Tom, this was the first time that she lost, and worst of that, it was her lowest score. Her fans deliberately did not send gifts to see her do the punishment. Not like Mia cared about losing or having a low HP. Ang sa kanya lang ay pinagtulungan siya mga ito.This scene was shocking.[Strawberry Lover: What happened? Why is her score like this? Lumabas lang ako saglit para kumuha ng order. Did no one help our Dragon Clarinet? Tiny Avenger? Fayde?][Tiny Avenger: A friend called me. I didn’t expect na mawawala ‘yong live kapag sinagot ko ‘yong call. Anong ginawa ninyo? Hinayaan niyo talaga na matalo ang Dragon Clarinet natin!][Fayde: Aww, what happened, guys? My baby did not win? I was occupied doing my work for a while. Nalingat lang ako, and no one here helped her. Both Strawberry Lover and Tiny Avenger weren’t here at all. What a shame.][Ice Ice Baby: Nakataka
Chapter 13: Wake-up ServiceHer ears flushed in redness, cheeks coated by shyness, Mia wished to shrank on the couch she was sitting on. Contrary to her embarassment, her fans were urging her to begin the punishment. As an encouragement, gifts’ special effects were flying on their screens. Hindi na magkamayaw ang makakasunod na pagtunog ng cellphone niya. She had to lower the volume as it already hurt her hearing.[This is the only expense that I don’t mind paying. Kahit ano pang gawin mo, Dragon Clarinet, worth it para sa amin.][Ka-excite! Sh*t! Gigisingin ako ng asawa ko.][Kung ako sa inyo, gayahin niyo ako na nakahiga na para mas ramdam niyo ang gagawin ni Clarinet.][I know that some of you have really gone to bed para lang dito. Swerte ng mga walang trabaho ngayon.][Kung alam ko nga lang, sana nag-day-off ako ngayon. Kalungkot.][Hahahahahaha. Tinatanong na ako ng mga ka-work ko bakit daw ako nakahiga sa sahig. Dragon Clarinet, galingan mo para naman may silbi ginawa ko.][Pwe
Chapter 13.2: Wake-up Service“Napapadalas ang panonood mo ng mga live stream, sir, ah?”Sits in front of the coffee table was a man. The smoke of the twa rose up to his eye level. He brought up the tea cup near his lips and took a light sip. Pagkalayo nito ng tsaa ay isang ngisi ang pinakawalan niya. He’s enjoying what he’s watching right now.“Maganda ba ‘yang pinapanood mo, sir? Gustong-gusto mo e.”Inilapag ng lalaki ang tasa sa platito. Marahan siyang nagwika. “A girl caught my attention here. Mukhang bata pa at bago lang. She attracts the attention of men without doing anything, but she seemed like a spoiled for me.”Naging interesado naman ang utusan nito. The latter tried to peep through his boss’ phone, but he was quick to move the live away from the sight of his servant. “Tingin lang, sir. Mahilig din kasi ako sa ganito lalo na ‘yong mga magagandang babae. Pwede mo ba i-share sa akin kung kanino ‘yang pinapanood mo? Para ma-motivate din ako.”Josh frowned and rolled his eyes
Chapter 14: She is not InnocenrtTears pooled in his eyes, sadness loomed over his huge body, but no matter how much she appealed on the hearts of his viewers, no one sent him any more gifts.[Hindi na kami magsasayang ng pera. Alam naman natin na kaya lang sila nagyaya ulit ng PK para gantihan ka.][Kaya nga. Sayang lang.][Hintayin na lang natin matapos ‘yong timer.][Nood lang kami rito hahahahaha.][Madalas ka naman manalo. Once in a while, it would be fun to see you lose.]Sky Cruiser saw the comments of his supporters. Saglit siyang nanggigil sa mga ito. Grabe ang sama ng tingin niya sa kanila na para bang magkaharap talaga sila.On the other side, Dragon Clarinet’s fans didn’t fail her. They did not join the groups teasing Sky Cruiser, but instead, they busied themselves satisfying their princess’ wish: Gain a lot of rewards, defeat Sky Cruiser, and make him do a punishment. They were like little ants working on something, not stopping even with the little amount they’re giving
Chapter 26.2: The Battle Between the Rich MenDark Chocolate, the 3rd competitor, coaxed Rai as he continuously donated her large amount of gifts. "Anong pinagsasabi nitong mga 'to? Parang mga baliw." She rolled her eyes. "Nevermind, you keep saying whatever you want to say. I have Rai Charlie. This pogi will help me win."She couldn't defeat Dragon Clarinet's voice through singing dahil hindi naman maganda ang boses niya, so she spoke louder to overpower Clarinet. Depsite having many sponsors, the distance between the three of them were moving closer even though slow pace. The important thing here was that there was a movement on Mia's health bar.Mia turned deaf to whatever the other parties were saying. She focused on cheering for her own top sponsor in hopes that it could help or as a way of showing her gratefulness to the money he wastes on her."Taylor baby, ikaw ang king,Slayin’ the game like it’s your thing."Kanina ay tanging pagkanta lang ang ginagawa ni Mia, ngayon ay sin
Chapter 26: The Battle Between the Rich MenDragon Clarinet and her three rival hosts were fighting intensely. With the amount of gifts flooding all of their accounts, points ridiculously rising up that no one is getting left behind, and the consecutive arrival of other hosts and viewers in the Diamond Hub, their PK has topped the recommended live streaming in the homepage.Many whose intention was to hop from live-to-live found themselves being caught up in the battle between the rich men. Amazed by the amount of coins they were wasting just to prove something, their comments flooded the chat box like a river filled by the raindrops.Sa galante magpamigay ng dalawa ay iisipin ng mga hindi nagla-live na mura lang ang ginagastos ng mga ito. Although each peso has an equivalent, they have spent more than 10,000 pesos without even an hour passing by.[Taylor Reed gifted you a Caticlan x10.][Taylor Reed gifted you a Caticlan x25.]Caticlan was the most expensive gift available right now
Chapter 25.2: The War of the Century in the Diamond HubOne of the hosts allowed Rai to turn on his mic. Mula ito roon sa huli niyang naka-PK. "Like what I offered before, whoever loses will put a profile picture of trash bag with a label ‘I am a trash.’ You will not open your account ever again, and never, as in never, shall you come back to the Diamond Hub," his voice dripped with confidence while he said that, but some could sense the anxiety making its way in his arrogant behavior.[Taylor Reed: Clarinet, tell him this: He can fight alone or call others for help—he can gather as many as he want, whatever he wants, but I will fight him all by myself.][Galit na nga talaga si Taylor.][I'm getting chills.][Gaano kaya katagal aabutin nitong laban?][I have a feeling na ilang oras 'to. We can't really tell. This might even go indefinite.]Mia’s brows furrowed.What does he mean by indefinite time? Will they PK for more than hours? Will this take a day or a week or longer? Is that wh
Chapter 25: The Challenge"Hey," she called out, voice steady but firm, "Taylor was asking you, guys, for a challenge. It's me against you and the other hosts you conspired with earlier. Do you accept it?"Her tone was soft, but it carried a weight that demanded attention. Confidence radiated from her, a stark contrast to the nervous energy that had surrounded her just moments ago.[Oy, oy, heto na! Mangyayari na! Maglalaban na ang mga mayayaman! Ganito ba kapag bored kayo, Taylor Reed at Rai Charlie?][What? Anong pinagsasabi mo?][Anong ganap?]The news about Taylor challenging Rai has reached a lot of ears. Some just speculated that it wasn't true, but many rushed to the chanel. There were a lot of new people in Mia's live stream after they decided to follow Taylor's trail. May mga iba pang hindi naniniwala. Who would believe it unless they have seen it? The infamous Taylor Reed has been dormant for months. Ang akala ng iba ay gawa-gawa lamang ito upang makahakot ng mga manonood si
Chapter 24.2: Here Comes TaylorThe audience went wild; their chats expressed disapproval of her doing the punishment. Mia's face wasn't able to hide her sourness for her.[Trojan Virus Top Hater: Wow.][Good thing for Rai that he is rich because aside from that, he will have nothing. He has a bad attitude, small brain, and average face. Ayon lang talagang yaman niya ang maipagmamalaki niya kaya gamit na gamit niya.][Hindi ako si Rai, pero ako ang nasaktan. So much panlalait for him.][He deserves that.]The female host saw Mia's doubt to do the punishment. "If you don't want to do it daw, my top sponsor said that there is an alternative you can do."Nabuhayan ang loob ni Mia. She believed it would be something better. "Ano 'yon?""Do squats while saying 'Raiden is better than Taylor' for 30 times, and we're good."Instead of being happy that there was an alternative, hindi na maipaliwanag ang mukha ni Mia sa narinig. Maging ang mga nakikinood na supporter niya ay nalukot ang mukha.
Chapter 24: Taylor is a Coward"Thank you, everyone, sa mga beach ball! Ang dami na ninyong pinapamigay!" Her cute smile showed up as she giggled. "Dahil d'yan, this is the least I can do for you!"Mia placed both her hands up her head and formed rabbit ears. She closed her eyes and tried to make a bunny smile. After that, she draw a heart in the air using her forefinger and winked the camera. "Mwa!"She knew how much effort her fans were putting in just to support her. Kahit hindi niya hinihingi, they still showered her with gifts and cheers, and for that, she was immensely grateful. Kaya kahit papaano, she wanted to give them something in return, kahit simpleng fanservice lang. Alam niyang maraming nagtitipid at nagtitiis para lang makaambag sa kanya. The least she could do was to acknowledge their kindness and dedication. [Thanks for the love, honey bee!][Chill ka lang d'yan, Ganda!][Cute naman ng rabbit na 'to. Sarap iuwi. Pwede bang akin ka na lang?][In behalf of Dragon Clari
Chapter 23.2: Another DefeatThe screen screamed the timer going off.5.4.[Tiny Avenger gifted you a Shooting Star x1.]3.2.[Tiny Avenger gifted you a Triple Cruise Ship x1.]1.Gaining more than 500,000 points because of Tom, everyone gasped upon seeing the result.“Loser,” the app announced.She lost again.[How did that happen? One million points kung kailan patapos na?][This dark system! Akala ko mananalo na tayo.][Nai-imagine ko na nagwawala si Tiny Avenger.][Sinong hindi magwawala? Jusko, sarap umiyak!]The opponent stopped jogging barefooted. She inhaled for air while assisting herself using her chair to not fall in the floor. Kumikinang ang pawis nito dulot ng liwanag. Kita ang pagkaurat sa mukha sa halos limang minutong paggalaw. Natunaw lang ang sama ng loob niya sa halaga ng natanggap. Mapupunit na yata ang labi nito sa sobrang lawak ng pagkakangiti.“Kayo! Ang sasama ng ugali ninyo!” she scolded her viewers, still grinning. “Ipapanalo niyo naman pala ako, pero pinah
Chapter 23: Another DefeatMia accepted the PK invitation, and another female host appeared on half of the screen. She looked young, with full bangs and long black hair that complemented her gothic-inspired makeup.“Hi, hello!” bati ng dalaga, flashing a friendly smile.Mia returned the greeting but stiffened slightly when the other host leaned in closer to the camera, inspecting her face. “What’s that drawing in your face? Is it an apple?” tanong nito, amused.Mia lowered her head in embarrassment. “Yeah, isn’t it cute?”“Oo nga, ang cute.” The opponent giggled. “Punishment ba ‘yan sa ‘yo?”“Yes, natalo kasi amo sa huling PK ko.”The other woman nodded in understanding. “How about that’s also the punishment for ours? Pero during the game, kung sino man ang may mababang points, magja-jog in place.”Napakunot ang noo ni Mia, nagtataka. “Same punishment? Drawing sa mukha?”Um-oo ang kausap. She grinned mischievously. “Supposedly, etits sana para mas nakakahiya, pero okay na rin ‘yang
Chapter 22.2: Points’ Thief“Hi, welcome to my live for those who haven’tet me yet!” She waved both her hands at the camera, a wide smile beaming. “You may send gifts to me if you want, or kung gusto ninyo na tumambay lang dito, I hope you’ll enjoy here! By the way, a big shout out to my top sponsor, Tiny Avenger!”The gifts poured in.[Die With A Smile gifted you a Sports Car x1.][Tiny Avenger gifted you a Wand x10.][Ace of Spades gifted you a Teddy Bear x5.][Trojan Virus Top Hater gifted you a Jet Train x1.][Tiny Avenger gifted you a Love Letter x100.][Tiny Avenger gifted you a Carousel x1.][Excello gifted you a Mark of Tiger x3.]Expensive gifts rained down in the room. Tiny Avenger was working hard to make sure she ranks higher than the opponent. [Tiny Avenger: Don’t worry, Clarinet, I won’t let you lose face.][Tiny Avenger: Mukhang baguhan lang naman ang kalaban mo, baby. Ang onti lang ng nanonood sa kanya. Wala siyang ibabatbat sa atin. I think I can handle this even wit
