[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
- **Hello.**

“Ah! Welcome! Thank you for the donation! I’ll do my best and try my challenge! Fighting!”  

On the screen, a cute girl was choosing her weapon in preparation for a dungeon raid. In front of her were a spear and a shortsword.

“Hmm, what should I use? I haven’t chosen my main weapon yet!”

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
- **Of course, it’s the spear.**

Hmm.

Instead of typing a petty message, the donation message itself was his chat.

“Ah! A donation! What’s going on today?! Thank you!”

The girl with brown hair tied in two pigtails bent her waist repeatedly towards the air to express her thanks.

“Then, should I try using the spear?”

At that moment…

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100P.]  
- **You don’t know anything. Of course, it’s the sword.**

Hmm? The sword is also a good weapon, but…

“Ah! The sword?”  

The girl was a bit flustered.  
What should she do? Whose advice should she follow?

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100P.]  
- **Don’t listen to the noobs. The king of all diseases, the sword, obviously.**

What? Noobs? Are they trying to pick a fight?

A vein appeared on Kalstein's forehead.

In fact, he wasn’t particularly well-versed in spears. He preferred them because they were easier to use and physically dominant, but it wasn’t like he was an expert.  

But the strange tone of the ‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’…  
It was annoying.

He couldn’t let that slide.

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
- **Spears are more efficient for beginners. It takes too long to master swords. And the king of all diseases uses spears, after all.**

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100P.]  
- **Hah?**

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
- **And isn’t a dungeon for practice? Even veterans easily get hurt. How can you recommend swords to a beginner right away?**

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100P.]  
- **Bullshit. The king of all diseases uses swords. And are you going to live as a soldier for the rest of your life? You should learn advanced weapon skills.**

A direct rebuttal followed.

Hmm, what’s going on here?  
I could just ignore it and move on, but…  
What’s with this subtle discomfort that triggers my instincts as a man?

- **You think spears are the only option? No matter how much you argue, the spear is superior—fact.**  
- **Don’t stick your nose in if you don’t know. Plus, dungeons are chaotic, aren’t they? Swords have the advantage. They adapt better to various environments.**  
- **It’s a spear, though. And if you hold the shaft a bit wider, it’s good for defense too.**  
- **Swords can stab and slice, while the spear is only for stabbing, right? Isn’t it common sense that two options are better than one?**  
- **Common sense, my ass.**  
- **Hah. This is infuriating. If you’re not going to fight in formation, then swords are obviously better. What, you can’t think?**

Naturally, the donations kept coming rapidly.

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100P.]  
[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100P.]  
…

As the argument continued, the girl’s face lit up with a big smile.

Eventually…

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 10,000P.]  
- **Enough. Let’s stop talking. Anyway, let’s go with the spear.**

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 10,000P.]  
- **Really? 10,000 points? Your name is wasted. What are you even doing?**

The swordsman pulled the “What’s your tier?” move.  
Me? I’m Jutak, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire.  
But I couldn’t exactly say that.

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 10,000P.]  
- **I’m doing better than you, so don’t worry.**

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 100,000P.]  
- **Haha, your level is nothing. Are you scared?**

100,000 points? Even so, trying to match me with points is a bit much...

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 1,000,000P.]  
- **Don’t act all tough. Just go away.**

Eventually, the two settled their debate with personal attacks and spending big money.

Naturally, the chat went wild.

- **What the hell are these guys doing?**  
- **I don’t know. What’s the big deal with the spear or sword?**  
- **Look at the amount going up. It’s going into a disaster fight.**  
- **Wow, are they really doing this because of pride?**  
- **‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ is a named character in the sword tab, lol.**  
- **I heard he built a kingdom with just himself?**  
- **How much karma does it take to build a kingdom?**  
- **I think ‘DonWithMoney’ will lose, lol. Usually, people with nicknames like that aren’t normal.**  
- **But they probably live better than you.**  
- **Hey, can you stop with the facts?**  
- **Lol.**  
- **Anyway, it seems like their level is different from ours.**  
- **Haha, I came to watch the dungeon raid from a high school girl and ended up seeing a fun show.**

As the amounts grew larger, other viewers started tuning in one by one.

- **Is this the place for the disaster fight?**  
- **What do you have to do to stack up that many points?**  
- **Haha, this is hilarious.**  
- **Wow, they just threw 10 million points like it’s nothing.**  
- **This is amazing, haha.**  
- **Live watching a disaster fight, haha.**

Then, ‘DonWithMoney’ made a big move.

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100,000,000P.]  
- **Haha.**

100 million? At first, viewers thought they had seen it wrong.  
What the hell? Why would 100 million points matter?

A spending amount unimaginable for ordinary people!

- **What the hell? 100 million?**  
- **Is 100 million your dog’s name?**  
- **They could probably name their dog 100 million.**  
- **Wow, people who spend this much for pride—what kind of people are they?**  
- **Definitely not normal.**  
- **From our perspective, it’s something, but for them, it’s probably pocket change.**  
- **100 million is pocket change...? Am I misunderstanding what pocket change is?**  
- **Anyway, they’re definitely not normal people.**  
- **Are you scared, swordsman?**

In the midst of the giants’ verbal battle, the girl stood frozen, her mouth wide open, unable to speak.

The amount was an appropriate one, and she was happy about it. 100 million?

It was an unreal number.

“...”

Eventually, the swordsman acknowledged his defeat, visibly upset by the 100 million points. Of course, before leaving, he had to deliver the obligatory victory speech.

[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has donated 10,000P.]  
- **Sigh… Anyway, the sword is the best.**

*Ding!*  
[‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ has left the chat.]

- **100 million?**  
- **Lol, coward!**  
- **Victory speech, haha, this is hilarious.**  
- **Hahaha.**  
- **Wow, look at how many zeroes.**  
- **I’ve never seen this nickname before. Does anyone know who they are?**

Anyway, from the girl’s perspective, it was a win. Her eyes trembled uncontrollably. In an instant, she had earned enough to retire from dungeons and live comfortably for the rest of her life.

“This... this is...”

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 10,000,000P.]  
- **Anyway, I’m going to have fun. Stay strong.**

“Ten, hundred, thousand... Ah! Yes, yes! I really thank you! I’ll definitely use the spear! Thank you so much!”

The girl couldn’t hold back her tears as she expressed her gratitude.

Kalstein wiped his nose lightly.

Well... what’s the big deal with spear vs. sword?

The one who fights better will win anyway.

He had donated because he admired the girl’s perseverance as she struggled to fight monsters in this difficult world. It was like donating to the head of the household. He enjoyed the experience.

‘DonWithMoney’ and ‘One-Armed Blind Swordsman’ ranked 1st and 2nd on the official constellation

 rankings for ‘Hawaii High School Girl’.

Screenshots of the constellation rankings with the donation amounts spread across the community and caused controversy for a while.

Who the hell are these guys?

Just give me that money! I’ll do anything they ask!

It all started over choosing a weapon, but they ended up hitting the jackpot in life.

Screenshots of the girl crying were also posted in the community. She earned the envy and resentment of many users.

Afterward, broadcasts with themes like Sword vs Sword, Spear vs Sword, and Mage vs Knight were flooding in.

And a significant number of users realized…

This... could change their lives?

The donation system. It’s just insane!

More users began eagerly waiting for the constellation’s selection.

Of course, Kalstein didn’t go that far. He was satisfied with just a brief break.

“Hehe. What should I do next?”

Of course, he could relax now because he had worked hard. He had been busy working on monsters and secret bloodlines.

In fact, even now, various information was coming in through his main account, and Aria was screening it as she handled the work diligently.

And the research fields were moving smoothly with professionals from all fields, and astronomical investments had already been made where needed.

What’s to say?

Aria didn’t just hand him over 100 billion without a reason. So, no one would complain if he took a short break.

So, he was relaxing by posting random things on the community, watching videos, and soothing his mind.

Yeah, this is the life. Spending time without doing anything productive.

In the meantime, a broadcast concept caught his eye.

“Avatar matchmaking?”

What’s this?

[“I’m going to propose to a princess from a neighboring country. She’s supposed to be really pretty, hehe. Depending on donation points-”]

A matchmaking proposal?

Even though I became the Emperor of the Universe, I’m still single, and they’re doing matchmaking?

I can’t let this go.

[‘DonWithMoney’ has donated 100P.]  
- **How much, and how far can I go?**

I’ll make them regret this!

“Everyone is here. It's not easy to gather such members, but we’ve managed.”

The languid and decadent voice of the silver-haired woman announced the opening. Following her voice, the dark space around them expanded infinitely as cubic polygons reassembled in every direction, and the silhouettes of people gradually began to appear.

They all silently stared at the woman in the center.

She was Aria, the First Chancellor of the Galactic Empire and the Chief Secretary.

Though she appeared to be an ordinary commoner without even a first name, no one there could afford to ignore her.

After all, she was undeniably the closest person to His Majesty, the Emperor.

This was a fact that no one could deny. Even those who knew that she was not human, but rather an android terminal, felt the same way.

With her opening declaration, the virtual meeting room’s atmosphere became heavy.

“Hmm…”

In the corner of the meeting room stood a large man, nervously watching.

Milo Rankar.

A great hero who had survived even in the midst of the ‘Rufir Sector Assault Operation,’ also known as the ‘Single Number Subjugation Battle.’

A key figure of the National Hero Conference, and when His Majesty was absent, he took on the role of a secondary tank. He was part of the highest echelons of the Galactic Empire.

But even he couldn’t breathe properly in this meeting room.

The one presiding over the meeting, Aria, stood to her right, a woman with starry hair—Maxien Asteria.

Just the two of them were already intimidating.

When Milo cautiously turned his gaze, he saw a small figure in the farthest corner of the meeting room, a hooded figure.

Camilla Bashatiret.

The regular sound of metal clinking from the gas mask she wore echoed through the room.

Squeak- squeak-

But no one dared question her.

Not even Kalstein Babylon, Maxien Asteria, or the legendary hero, the head of the executive branch.

No one would dare speak against Camilla Bashatiret.

If it weren’t for Aria, the top of internal affairs, or the Galactic Sword Saint, Maxien, there was no one who could stop her. The two of them were already used to it and didn’t even pay attention to her.

Milo felt the same way.

“Everyone must have confirmed the circumstances of this matter, right?”

“...”

Their expressions were calm as they either nodded or silently watched. There was no sign of hesitation.

Since they were all familiar with the Emperor’s instructions, they had come prepared.

“Is His Majesty’s health okay?”

At someone’s question, the head of the medical division responded.

“There have been no unusual signs. Truly, a fortunate situation.”
“How could he use such power and still be fine…”
“Still, we cannot let our guard down. Especially since it is related to the Single Number, we never know what might happen.”

A small commotion broke out in the meeting room.

However, it quickly settled down with Aria’s next words.

“The Emperor’s [mental stability] is perfectly fine. There’s no need for concern.”

Everyone was astonished.

“Truly remarkable.”
“If it weren’t for His Majesty, who else could handle it?”
“That’s true.”
“Hoho, as expected of His Majesty.”

Everyone felt awe and admiration.

But in the midst of this, a sharp voice made everyone close their mouths.

Squeak- squeak-

“…Maxien. Isn’t this a bit too incompetent? To make him use such power…”

It was Camilla Bashatiret.

The atmosphere grew as cold as ice, and Milo found himself wanting to go home.

At least in his view, this National Hero Conference had long since turned into a battleground for potential empress candidates, with everyone just watching each other carefully.

‘Why was I called here?’

Milo, with his muscular build, felt like crying.
