in hindsight no one with an avatar that ugly could be an npc

Summary:

professional gamer and streamer yoo jonghyuk realizes that the npc he's been fond of for years isn't what it seems

 

Everything has been abandoned

Notes:

trying out a new thing

this is just a concept and, as you can see from the word count, isn't very long yet. i'm just gauging to see the interest before i continue because this fic is going to be rather coding-heavy and im really bad at coding. so, before i invest,

anyway, please allow the display of work skins or more than half of this fic will be incomprehensible. thank you.

Chapter 2: aftermath (1)

Notes:

the vast majority of this chapter (aka the fics) was cowritten with my lovely friends in an orv server. i'm told that we are considered the "horny" orv server although I'm not sure about the validity of that statement.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Mr. Yoo,

Regarding your request of a specific NPC’s code, we might be able to email it to you depending on who the NPC is. However, some NPCs (i.e. main story NPCs, secret NPCs) have codes that are not allowed to be distributed outside. We seek your understanding and cooperation.

Please provide us the details of your account ID and the name of the NPC.

Thank you.

Mr Shin,

That will not be necessary.

Yoo Jonghyuk

bodysharinguriel-assigned-top uriel-assigned-top Fic Recs i’m not including Judge of Fire’s fic in here because Everyone Knows It. also, i’m not that fond of top!reader kim, despite my url lol ♡livewire veins by wyrvel and zarinthel The AI behind Reader Kim slowly and painfully learns the full depth of human emotions through Yoo Jonghyuk. this? this right here? is my favorite fic of all time because, like, it’s super terrifyingly IC for both reader kim and yoo jonghyuk. also, it’s a story about reader kim transmigrating into our world and yoo jonghyuk introducing him to life outside wos! the authors are also really good at worldbuilding and their minds are like steel traps. who remembers matchstick little from jonghyuk’s 8th’s steam? not me, but they certainly do, and she shows up, along with many others. if you have to read one rpf story in your entire life, read livewire veins ♡ERROR: UNNEEDED EMOTIONS DETECTED by chiye21 Yoo Jonghyuk hates androids, the cold blooded automatons that they are, but when an android goes against direct orders to help him, he begins to question the line between androids and humans cyberpunk au!!!!! this fic hurts real bad but it’s so good! not recommended for those who are weak to gore (be it human or android) ♡and as the sun rises and sets, i will love you by simkjrs 5 times Reader initiates kisses and the 1 time Yoo Jonghyuk does domestic aus destroy me every time. it’s literally what they say in the summary ♡light through broken glass by simkjrs Dark Knight Yoo Jonghyuk meets a cleric who has lost faith in god taking place in a complete fantasy au and it’s really so soft… simk master of soft pining. it also explores a lot of recovery on the end of dark knight yoo jonghyuk who lost everything in a war and faithles reader kim who just went through So Many Bad Things ♡Fate/Addiction by zarinthel Yoo Jonghyuk watched as his summoning-- the one that he'd planned for so long, prepped and schemed over-- sputtered. The watch he'd used as his summoning catalyst cracked down the middle, and then shattered. Disappointment flooded through him, and he had to turn away. I am [[Reader Kim.]] Are you my master? FATE/STAY NIGHT AU!!! READER KIM IS A SERVANT AND YOO JONGHYUK IS THE MASTER AAHFODA ♡Real to Me by zarinthel (razthelin) Yoo Jonghyuk somehow manages to open a voice channel with Reader Kim and thinks he's hallucinating. it’s an explicit fic so this is your fair warning. this is both sexy and really sad… tender sad at the same time. I really recommend it for the feels alone ♡Give an Inch by wyrvel "We are partners separated by life and death," Yoo Jonghyuk says seriously, ignoring the death glare Reader Kim is giving him. -- Only I know how this game ends. -- Yoo Jonghyuk finds himself in the world of Ways of Survival and decides that his favorite NPC is a good person to be around. god, this is literally such an interesting take on the ‘yoo jonghyuk transmigrates into ways of survival’ idea! he gets transported as he is into wos during the first even rollout and it’s basically retelling the events that happened in wos from beginning until present day. the way this author adapts game events and updates into the whole story is so amazing. also yoo jonghyuk’s fire-and-water relationship with reader kim? god tier. yoo jonghyuk loves reader kim so freaking much but they really can’t stay in the same vicinity for too long without breaking into a fight i want to kill both of them ♡kiss the boy you fool by bodysharing Yoo Jonghyuk moves to a seaside town and meets a quiet young man who seems to only communicate with printed whatsapp emojis. IT’S A MERMAID AU!! which is more or less all you need to know. ♡this town IS big enough for both of us by westerngenre Reader Kim shows Yoo Jonghyuk that he’s capable of tenderness and gentleness even after all his trauma that led him to wander town to town, never setting roots, by letting him see how he can earn the trust of his wildest mare to the point where she'll let him feed her sugar cubes. In the warmth of her licking his palm and of Reader Kim’s palm on his shoulder, its warmth burning through all his layers to his core, Yoo Jonghyuk finds love. this is a cowboy AU. i know this author is more known for their lee hyunsung fics but they really grasp the character of yoo jonghyuk and reader kim super well. ♡black holes by westerngenre Yoo Jonghyuk and Reader Kim have crushes on each other, and they are both very dense and very stupid. apart from being really good at soft and tender, you know what else this author is good at? humor. i laughed myself to tears reading this oneshot and the ending was KILLER ♡The Truth by pleasereadmyoriginalfic Reader Kim is a player character, you fools. despite the way this fic is presented, the author really is good at writing and their characterization of reader kim is something i’ve never seen before. i’m not putting down other author’s characterizations but there’s only so much you can draw out from an NPC’s pre-coded answers before you have to substitute with your own imagination and most times, it comes out… a little strange. however, this author’s grasp on reader kim is really (chef’s kiss) and it’s almost as if he was a real life person instead of an NPC. pleasereadmyoriginalfic, tell me your ways. bodysharing ♡The Truth by pleasereadmyoriginalfic Reader Kim is a player character, you fools. HAHOFAHD??/ THIS AUTHOR… PREDICTED THINGS RIGHT? THIS PLUS THE CHARACTERISATION… OH MY GOD DO THEY KNOW READER KIM IRL?
