Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

After both undead settlements fell, the system immediately recalculated the faction war rankings, adjusting the standings accordingly.

[1st Place] – The Chosen Conduit (6,534 points)

[2nd Place] – The Atrocious One (4,337 points)

[3rd Place] – Distant Eye (3,700 points)

Adam glanced at the ranking update.

'First place, huh...'

While being recognized for his achievements had its benefits, fame could also be troublesome.

Too much attention attracted unnecessary problems, but at the same time, it was undeniable that recognition would also help draw in more viewers to his stream.

Ultimately, he pushed the thought aside. There were more important things to focus on.

'The system announcement from a few days ago made my stream codename public knowledge, so I won't be able to move in complete anonymity anymore...'

Adam's gaze shifted across the settlement.

Though he had expected an increase in curiosity from other players, there was no outright hostility toward him yet.

'For now, no one has a reason to target me directly. At worst, people will be intrigued by the name that appeared in a worldwide system notification. They'll speculate about my abilities, but until I actively reveal them, they can only guess.'

Then, system notifications began to flood his vision.

[Haremphobic has donated an F-tier gift]

[You have received] +5 Soul Cores

[Love_C_raft has donated an F-tier gift]

[You have received] +3 Soul Cores

Adam blinked as the messages stacked up.

Although Soul Cores were an easy currency to gather... each one represented effort, time, or trade.

The more you gave away, the weaker you'd get...

From what Adam knows, you'd need all the soul cores you could get before the rank-up after all, as it determined what abilities and strengths you would get.

Yet, here they were, tossing them at him without hesitation.

The chat was already reacting.

[Frog Eater drools at the sight of the soul cores...]

[Disciple of Ice is stunned]

[Disciple of Ice]: Fellow viewers, is it necessary to give out this much...?

[WeaverofStories]: You're right, I feel like I'm about to go broke soon...

Adam exhaled slowly, rubbing his thumb against the handle of his staff.

He wasn't the type to refuse free resources, but the sheer amount pouring in made him pause.

Before he could think too deeply, more notifications appeared.

[Pockyslee has donated an E-tier gift]

[You have received] Large Mana Orb: Significantly increases mana capacity, slightly enhancing the quality of the user's mana.

[Pockyslee]: A mage needs to be able to spam without worrying about mana!

Adam looked at the item description, his gaze lingering.

Mana capacity had never been an issue before, but the thought of expanding his reserves wasn't unappealing.

More room to cast meant more freedom in combat.

Another notification arrived.

[JustJoeKing has donated a D-tier gift]

[You have received] Stamina Core: Increases body energy and strength, +2 per 10 levels.

[JustJoeKing]: This is for your activities in bed.

The corner of Adam's mouth twitched.

"Of course..."

The chat immediately erupted.

[Prankster of Kingdoms likes JustJoeKing's humor]

[Prankster of Kingdoms has donated 100 coins]

Adam sighed.

While some donations came with ridiculous messages, he couldn't deny that they were helping.

"Are they worried because of what happened?"

It was possible.

His last battle had been reckless, challenging a Death Knight without any holy power, was a gamble that could've ended badly...

But that was exactly why he did it.

'I won't be as weak as I was in my past life.'

Caution was necessary, but hesitation was a death sentence.

Strength didn't come from playing it safe...

A new message interrupted his thoughts.

[Belisarius2018 has donated a C-tier gift]

[You have received] Information Panel: Allows you to view the skills and abilities of other Stream Hunters. (Uses: 10/10)

[Belisarius2018]: Streamer, your abilities are really interesting. I wonder what would happen if you ranked up... There are so many possibilities! Get stronger faster, please!

Adam stared at the item description. Information was power.

Being able to analyze other players' abilities was a massive advantage.

Also, he was curious, too.

His abilities weren't classified under any known tier.

The system had marked them with a question mark, leaving them undefined.

That alone made him question their true nature...

Glancing at the chat, he finally spoke the thoughts that have been in his mind these past few weeks.

"I've been curious for a while now..."

His voice was steady, but there was a sharpness to it.

"Where are you strange viewers from?"

The chat fell eerily silent.

[DaoistOfCreation keeps his mouth shut]

[pb_jelly is shaking his head, refusing to say anything]

[Devil_Debi58 says he doesn't know where to start]

Adam frowned.

Just then, one of his frequent viewers suddenly let out a message.

[Nalyd says those viewers cannot utter much information... their rankings are low.]

His eyes narrowed.

"What do you mean?"

[Nalyd is contemplating whether to speak or not...]

Seeing the hesitation, Adam adjusted his system settings.

[The Chosen Conduit has set the stream to private— only certain viewers can watch.]

"There. It's only you strange viewers now. You can speak freely."

A few seconds passed before Nalyd responded.

[Nalyd]: Our universe functions differently. If you've noticed, some of the viewers you had before don't appear as much anymore.

Adam thought back.

There were a few usernames he hadn't seen in a while— "NLE_Immortal" and "TheIsekaiKing."

[Nalyd]: The messages we can send are limited depending on our rankings. Our rankings are determined by the energy we've sent you. The more energy we give, the more 'rights' we have to communicate with you.

Adam's grip on his weapon tightened as his thoughts ran wild.

"Energy?"

"Energy for what?"

[Nalyd]: To maintain our connection with you. We have to constantly send you 'Gifts' or 'Donations'. They act as a supplement to support your existence and the main gifts our universe has sent you.

Adam's expression darkened.

"Support my existence... You mean that in order to rewind time, your universe is supplying the energy needed to maintain it?"

There was no immediate response.

"Then what happens if no strange viewers send anything anymore?"

The chat was still for a moment....

Then, Nalyd's message appeared.

[Nalyd]: If no strange viewers donate, it means there will be no more energy sustaining you. The day we stop… is the day your time will rewind back to the retaliation of the Tower of Yxthar.

A heavy silence settled over him.

The catastrophe.

Everything he had fought to change… would return to how it was.

His mind raced.

This was no longer just about curiosity... this was about survival.

"Then... how do I make sure you don't stop?"

A long pause.

[Nalyd is thinking of an appropriate answer...]

Finally, the response came.

[Nalyd]: Just get stronger. That's what most of us want you to become.

The next message came with a notification.

[Nalyd has sent an A-tier gift]

[You have received] Skill-tier upgrade: You can level up a skill up to a tier higher (Only works on D-tier skills and below).
