I Harvest the Reverse Harem My Roommate Built With My Identity Chapter 08

After Stacy left, those strange live comments disappeared as well. I pulled out my chair and calmly swept my gaze across the four top-tier players in the entire server.

“All unnecessary personnel have been cleared.”

I took out a team proposal I had prepared long ago from my bag and tossed it onto the table.

“Now, let’s talk business. Astral Titans is officially established today.”

Over the next three months, there was no romance or distractions, only hellish, closed-door training.

These four big shots, who used to dominate the game with arrogance and pride, were thoroughly disciplined by me in the training room until they became obedient.

Lewis’s positioning lacked precision, so I made him grind solo quests overnight as punishment. Shadowfang’s timing for engagements was too impatient, and I tore him apart during review sessions without holding back.

In this base, there were no playboys and no backup options, only absolute skill and an extreme hunger for the championship.

The national finals of the Galaxy Rim league were held in December.

With tens of thousands of seats occupied, the stadium was a sea of noise and energy. As we prepared to go on stage, I spotted Stacy in the backstage corridor.

She had cut off the long hair she once deliberately styled to imitate mine, and she was wearing a clean, washed-out set of athletic clothes. Without those ill-fitting luxury brands and overly curated “pure and alluring” styling, she looked much fresher

overall.

When she saw me, she took a deep breath and walked up to me. “Heather, I’m sorry.”

Her voice trembled slightly, but it carried an unprecedented sincerity.

Over the past few months, since dropping out, she had hit the lowest point of her life. Tears filled her eyes as she explained that her family had cornered her into a desperate situation.

She had grown up in a remote mountainous area where sons were far more valued than daughters. Her family had issued a strict ultimatum. If she could not find a wealthy man at university and return with enough money for a substantial bride price to buy her younger brother a house, they would drag her back and sell her off to an older, unmarried man in a nearby village.

Driven by extreme fear and desperation, her thinking had become twisted, and she ultimately made the dangerous choice to steal my account and photos.

“But after seeing your team advance to the finals, I finally snapped out of it.”

After wiping away her tears, a look of determination appeared in her eyes.

“When I saw you stand on that shining stage through your own effort, I realized how pathetic I had been. A woman’s fate shouldn’t depend on pleasing men. I want to earn my living with my own hands and live with dignity.”

At that moment, the familiar live comments floated back into my view.

“Oh my god! Stacy was actually pushed into this by her family.”

“How could her family sell her to some old man in a village? That’s far too tragic. No wonder she became so desperate trying to cling to a wealthy man before.”

“Still, that doesn’t make it okay for her to steal someone’s account and scam people!”

“She really does seem like a different person now. The haircut alone makes her look completely changed.”

“I actually feel a bit moved hearing her talk about earning her life with her own hands.”

As I met the clear, unyielding determination in her eyes and briefly glanced at the reactions in the live comments, the last trace of resentment in my heart faded away completely.

I knew it then. The version of her shaped by vanity and fear no longer existed.

Stacy, who stood before me now, had clearly been reborn.

I smiled, took a staff ID badge for the Astral Titans team from my pocket, and held it out to her.

“Our team just happens to be short of a meticulous operations manager. Room and board included, base salary of eight thousand dollars, with bonuses if you perform well. What do you say? Are you willing to earn your first paycheck with your own hands?”

Stacy’s eyes widened in disbelief, and tears immediately welled up and spilled over. She nodded vigorously, accepting the badge with both hands as she broke down in uncontrollable sobs.

“Thank you, Heather. Thank you so much!”

The live comments in front of me instantly flooded the screen in golden text.

“Holy crap! Heather’s vision is unreal!”

“That is exactly what a true heroine looks like! She put aside past grievances and reached down to lift her fellow out of the depths.”

“Women stand together! I’m declaring this the most hype esports story of the year!”

“Astral Titans, go and win the championship with Stacy as part of the team!”
