I Became the Eldest Daughter of 10 Siblings

Son Yena opened the bathroom door hesitantly, fidgeting with her fingers.
Looking at her face, she seemed like a scared student about to be scolded by a teacher.
I asked.
“Did you hear?”
“…Yes.”
Then Son Yena spoke as if she had made up her mind.
“I’ll forfeit.”
“…Huh?”
“The person who drugged you… is probably from the same group as the guy who told me your build.”
…Told her my build?
“A man with tattoos on both arms suddenly told me your build and threatened me to win no matter what.”
“He threatened you? With what?”
“Well…”
Son Yena rubbed her hands together, hesitating to open her mouth.
“If it’s something you can’t talk about, you don’t have to.”
Hearing my words, Son Yena closed her eyes tightly and confessed.
“N-no! Actually, I used to do paid boosting for people in the past. But that person found out about it and…”
So he used that to threaten you, right?
“So I think it’s right for me to forfeit since I played unfairly knowing your build…”
“Yena-ya.”
I cut off Son Yena’s words.
“I said I wouldn’t resent you. So just…”
Son Yena interrupted me again and said,
“No. I know it’s shameless of me to say this but… if we do that, you’ll be the one who suffers!”
I pressed my throbbing forehead with my hand.
Honestly. Honestly, I wanted to say ‘Really? You’ll do that for me?’ and grab that lifeline eagerly.
But if I became a pro in such an unsatisfying way, I felt like a corner of my heart would be uneasy.
It felt like I would be swayed by that annoying dream again, like I hadn’t overcome it in the end.
…This is really driving me crazy.
Let’s calm down first.
Let’s calm down and slowly sort out my situation.
First, about the build leak.
In , playing with your build completely exposed is very disadvantageous. It’s like playing Go with a handicap, or playing chess without a rook and bishop.
Just in case, I asked Son Yena.
“Do you know the 3rd game build too?”
Then Son Yena frantically waved her hands and denied it.
“No! I really don’t know that one! I swear! Really!”
I see.
The 3rd game build was something I prepared bit by bit while practicing with Kang Yohan, so it seems it wasn’t leaked this far.
And my physical condition.
If earlier was like being completely drunk, barely able to stand properly, now it felt more like being slightly tipsy.
What was the golden time for drug absorption again?
I think I heard somewhere that it was 30 minutes.
It was fortunate that in the second game, I didn’t stubbornly persist and quickly ran to the bathroom to vomit out the drug.
Still, the drowsy and lethargic state hadn’t completely stopped.
I turned on the faucet at the sink and washed my face. The haziness cleared for a moment, but soon returned like a beggar.
How on earth…
How on earth can I make this physical condition better? Should I go to the emergency room and get my stomach pumped?
Ah, I’m really going crazy!
“…Unnie?”
Son Yena touched her lips with a worried look.
Then,
Han Sieun, who was next to me, suggested.
“Whatever it is, let’s tell the organizers. Let’s think after telling them first. This is a different kind of crime. If the association has any common sense, they’ll either suspend or delay the tournament.”
Me and Son Yena, who were listening, nodded our heads.
Before leaving the bathroom, I grabbed Son Yena.
“Yena-ya.”
“Y-yes!”
Son Yena looked up at me with round eyes.
“No matter what happens, don’t say you’re forfeiting when we go out. What you did with boosting was wrong, but it has nothing to do with this problem.”
“…”
Son Yena put her hands together neatly and bowed her head deeply.
I bent my knees to meet her eyes and smiled.
“You’ll do that for me, right?”
“…Yes.”
We came out of the bathroom and explained the situation to the association staff.
The staff member reacted evasively with a troubled expression.
“Ah, first we need to confirm whether the drug issue is true or not…”
Hearing that, PD Kim Hwachang raised the veins in his neck.
“What, are you saying she’s faking illness because she doesn’t want to compete?”
“P-please calm down first. We’re also very flustered right now.”
In the end, Kim Hwachang reported it angrily and even the police were called.
I gave the police the description of the part-timer who handed me the coffee and the man who threatened Son Yena, and handed over the drugged coffee as well.
After the police took the report and left, the staff member came forward to try to resolve the situation, sweating profusely.
“This is our first time in this kind of situation too… I’ll check the rulebook and call the tournament committee.”
Kim Hwachang raised his eyes fiercely and held up his camera.
“That damn rules talk again! Why are associations so inflexible, starting from the football association? I’m going to film all of this with my camera, so do what you need to do.”
“P-please wait a moment while we check.”
And…
The answer from the tournament staff who returned after making a call was disappointing.
“We really understand the situation, but principles are important…”
“So…?”
“We received an answer from the committee that following the rules is the principle. So the tournament will continue…”
The faces of my acquaintances turned red hot when they heard those words.
“Are you joking right now?”
“Did I hear that wrong?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Isn’t it obvious that it should be suspended?”
“Wow, they really have no common sense.”
Kim Hwachang, Hyun Junho, Kang Yohan… everyone without exception got angry as if it was their own business.
I let out a dry sigh and asked the staff member.
“So the tournament continues, right?”
“Yes…”
The staff member avoided my eyes with an awkward expression.
“When does the next match start?”
“…It starts right away.”
This is driving me crazy.
I know my condition best. If I play in this state, it’s obvious I’ll lose 100%.
“Can’t I even get some fresh air for a moment?”
“According to tournament rules, both players must agree to take a break.”
Again, that damn rules talk.
The tournament staff asked Son Yena.
“Han Yujin has requested a break, what do you want to do? If you agree, we’ll take a 20-minute break.”
Son Yena glanced at my eyes furtively, then nodded.
“…Okay. Let’s do that.”

Rilme bit her nails as she looked at the community site.
‘What’s going to happen to Han Yujin…’
She raised her head and looked at Han Yujin walking in front. She was walking around the lake park near the PC bang, lost in thought. Without saying anything.
The lakeside walkway was full of winter feelings at the end of the year.
LED illumination lights wrapped around the metasequoia trees like clothes, making the park shine in various colors as if gold dust had been sprinkled.
Rilme looked around.
There were many people gathered. Including Han Yujin’s acquaintances, reporters, and ordinary people, everyone was following Han Yujin.
Rilme thought this scene was like the Pied Piper.
Trying to change the gloomy atmosphere, Rilme turned on her broadcast.
[Emergency Night Broadcast… Is the Association Crazy?]
[BJ Rilme]
People immediately flocked in like refugees. Judging by their tone, it seemed Han Yujin’s fans had come in curious about the selection tournament results.

-What’s happening now?
-Is the drug thing true?
-Did she lose?
-Hey did HaYoo lose??
-Spill the tea you crazy bitch hurry up
-Quickly tell us the result
-Did the Great HaYoo lose fck
-What happened?
-Are the association fcking bastards idiots?
-What kind of bastards are the ones who drugged her

“No, wait. First calm down looking at my pretty face.”
Then the chat was filled with ‘hell’ and ‘riot’.
Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand.
In an instant, the front digits changed and the chat scrolled up like lightning, too fast to read.
The questions remained steadfast.
What happened to Han Yujin?
“Hey, it’s not over yet, you know?”
Just as Rilme was about to open her mouth,
Han Yujin stopped. She turned her head and stared blankly at the lake.
Suddenly, she handed her hunting cap and black trench coat to her younger brother and even took off her shoes.
Seeing that, Rilme asked in shock and dismay,
“Hey, what are you doing now?”
“…Trying to come to my senses.”
Then,
Splash splash-
Without any sign of hesitation, she walked into the dark lake. The cold must have hit her feet, but Han Yujin’s face remained calm and colorless.
Seeing that, the people around started to stir. Ordinary people whispered, and reporters flashed their cameras.
Unable to just watch, Han Yujin’s younger brothers finally shouted.
“…Noona, what are you doing!”
“Come out, noona!”
Hearing those voices, the chat also stirred.
-?
-Move your face and quickly show us what’s going on
-What the hell lololol
-?
-What’s happening
-What is she doing
-What’s going on?
-Han Yujin is really pretending to be drugged lol
-Is she doing a suicide show after losing one game?
-Move your face and quickly show us HaYoo you bitch lol

“…Ah.”
Rilme was lost for words, flustered by this situation.
Han Yujin, who had been walking towards the center of the lake, stopped. The water was deeper than expected, reaching up to her chest. Suddenly, she lowered her body and started to submerge her whole body in the freezing lake water.
“Oh, fuck!”
Just as Rilme was about to turn off the broadcast in shock and enter the lake,
Hyun Junho jumped into the water one step ahead. He splashed through the water, awkwardly approaching Han Yujin.
Hyun Junho grabbed Han Yujin’s wrist that was under the surface and forcibly pulled her up.
“Are you crazy?! Why are you suddenly doing this!”
Hyun Junho shouted in a strong tone, raising the veins in his neck.
Water dripped from Han Yujin’s wet hair.
“What else can I do. I can’t come to my senses unless I do this.”
“Please, just! Why are you so reckless alone, Yujin-ssi?”
Hearing those words, Han Yujin smiled weakly.
“…I don’t know. I guess I’m addicted to dopamine.”
Han Yujin’s chin trembled in the November chill. Every time she exhaled, white breath like clouds flowed from her small mouth.
Hyun Junho let out a low sigh.
Then he said,
“Are you afraid of falling?”
“I guess so.”
“From now on, don’t be afraid.”
“…What?”
At Hyun Junho’s words, Han Yujin slowly looked up at him.
Hyun Junho, breathing heavily, said,
“If you fall a hundred times, I’ll lift you up a hundred times.”
“…What?”
“Let’s get out now. You’ll catch a cold.”
Led by Hyun Junho’s hand, Han Yujin came out of the lake.
Calming his startled heart, Hyun Junho smiled and asked her,
“…So have you come to your senses?”
“…Yes. I feel like I’ve been brought back from the dead.”
Then Han Yujin responded with a faint smile.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For buying my dream. Thanks to you, I think I can win now.”

Son Yena was sitting in the empty arena. She reviewed her first game with Han Yujin.
In fact, as if by fate’s trick, her strategy was exactly the same as what Han Yujin had prepared.
Except for the order, of course.
Although she had unavoidably heard Han Yujin’s build, Son Yena used her own strategy without paying attention to it.
The strategy Son Yena used in the first game was 4 Gate All-in.
But…
She ended up giving away the first game that she should have obviously won. It was because of the clever move of Shield Battery that Han Yujin pulled out.
A game that absolutely should not have been lost.
When she let that slip away, Son Yena collapsed mentally.
So.
She gave up the One Gate Double she had originally prepared for the 2nd game, and pulled out Dark Templar, Han Yujin’s counter build.
An unsatisfying victory. An unwelcome victory.
Even though she had won, Son Yena felt so ashamed of herself that she couldn’t properly look Han Yujin in the eye.
So she immediately went into a bathroom stall and berated herself. Then she happened to overhear the conversation between the sisters.
Learning the whole story, Son Yena sincerely admired Han Yujin.
‘How can a person be so strong?’
Just as her admiration for Han Yujin was swelling like a balloon.
“I’ve arrived.”
Han Yujin’s voice was heard.
Son Yena turned her head and looked Han Yujin up and down.
Her whole body was soaked as if she had been dipped in amniotic fluid.
However, the look in her eyes had changed quite a bit.
Earlier she had dead eyes, pale with fright, but now her wet eyes shimmered between her wet hair.
Son Yena asked cautiously,
“…Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Much better than before.”
Han Yujin raised the corners of her delicate mouth as she wiped off the water with a towel. That sight was so pure that Son Yena was momentarily entranced.
Han Yujin put her hand on the heater.
“Yena-ya. I’m really okay now. So let’s both do our best without regrets in the last game. Okay?”
“…Yes.”
Son Yena sat down and recalled her build. She resolved to go all the way and try to beat Han Yujin at this point.
However, her firm resolve turned into bewilderment.
Han Yujin’s race was different.
Human.
Not Alien, but Human.
Wondering if it might be a mistake, Son Yena typed in chat.

<[R]Zenith: I’m going to play Human>
‘…Wasn’t her main race Alien?’
The final countdown flowed,
And the game began.
Son Yena was flustered by the pressure she felt for the first time in her life.
It felt like playing a game with a giant. Han Yujin, emitting several times the aura from before, felt like a superhuman.
Son Yena calmly sent Zealots to the enemy base to apply pressure. While the Zealots built up to 7, Han Yujin consistently just defended her main base and didn’t come out.
‘…Is it Two Factory?’
A strategy that builds two Factories in the main base and stakes everything on the early game.
When Son Yena started going for the Dark Templar tech tree, which counters Two Factory,
Finally, Han Yujin’s army started coming down the hill.
Five Marines, five Tanks.
‘…I don’t understand. Two Factory has too many weaknesses as a build.’
Son Yena tilted her head and pulled her Zealots back for now. She hurriedly increased her Gateways and tried to slowly plan for the future.
7 Zealots retreating.
5 Zealots in the main base.
She judged that with a total of 12, she could sufficiently block that small army.
Then,
[Your forces are under attack!]
‘Huh…?’
When she turned the screen to check on the retreating Zealots,
They were annihilated.
Not a single one remained.
‘…This can’t be.’
The 7 Zealots were melting like ice cream, spilling blue blood. It was hard to even grasp what had happened.
Son Yena bit her lips. She blocked the entrance with buildings and gave up the front yard, trying to buy as much time as possible.
Then, like a relief pitcher, a Dark Templar came out of the Gateway.
‘Good. For now, she doesn’t have Siege Mode upgrade, so I’ll calmly take down the main base first.’
Son Yena loaded the Dark Templar into a Shuttle and sent it to Han Yujin’s main base.
She was relieved when she saw Han Yujin’s main base. There were no troops in the main base, as if it were unoccupied territory.
Just as she was about to unload two Dark Templars from the Shuttle to maximize her advantage,
Click-
Mines that had been laid early rose up and killed the Dark Templars in an explosion.
‘Ah, fuck!’
To make matters worse, the Tank’s Siege Mode upgrade was also completed.
The pressure of the Tank line slowly closing in.
A deep sense of dismay appeared on Son Yena’s face.
She had clearly confirmed that there was only one Factory in Han Yujin’s main base, so it was puzzling why there were so many units.
And one thought flashed through Son Yena’s mind.
‘…It was a Hidden Factory. The Zealots that died earlier were killed by mines!’
Hidden Factory. A strategy of building a Factory that produces Tanks and Vultures in a secret location.
Vultures from the secretly built external Factory had laid mines in advance on the Zealots’ retreat path, and as the Tank forces drove the Zealots, they were lured to move into that mined area and exploded.
Son Yena smiled bitterly as she realized the cause of her defeat.
‘I was playing in unnie’s palm from the beginning.’
And.
Although she tried to gather her last forces and fight a final battle reluctantly,
It was Son Yena’s overwhelming defeat.
Even though the game was clearly lost, Son Yena smiled lightly. It was a feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time.

<[R]Zenith: gg>
Killerqueen has left the game!
Son Yena suppressed her heart that felt like it was about to burst and thought.
Han Yujin…
Someday, I really want to play on the same team as this person.

It’s over.
There were dirty struggles, but it’s over.
I almost lost my mind, but it’s over.
I wanted to give up, but I finished it.
The sharp build gambit, worked.
Looking at the staff seats, there was a commotion.
The sewer water duo hugging each other, Kim Hwachang giving a thumbs up, Moon Jaehyun waving his hand, Rilme making a heart shape, Kang Yohan clapping, Sung Dojun dancing, and Hyun Junho smiling.
Son Yena approached me, touching her earlobe, and bowed her head.
“…Good work.”
“Yeah. Good work.”
And-
A tournament staff member came and pinned a badge on my chest.
It was a pro badge given only to those qualified to be pro gamers.
Then he slowly bowed his head and apologized.
“I just heard from the police. There were tranquilizer components in the coffee, and the group that drugged it was caught at Incheon Airport.”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
“I’m really sorry.”
Then he blurted out one sentence with a dry face.
“And congratulations.”
“…”
“Player Han Yujin.”
Player.
Hearing the title of player for the first time, not participant, my heart swelled.
Finally…
Finally!
I became a pro gamer.
I shook off the bad dream.
And when the news that I had become a pro gamer spread,
The whole community shook.
It was… a vibration on the level of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.
