Capítulo 21: Mystery gift, and start stream
Allen opened the system interface, and three holographic screens appeared in front of him.
"Start the live stream,"
Allen thought as he used the system's gacha, he might as well earn more credits and golden tickets, so he deployed the cameras in all directions.
On one holographic screen to his left, Allen saw the Justice League being gradually defeated by Doomsday.
The key to defeating Doomsday lies in attacks powerful enough to overcome his resistance and regeneration. Otherwise, he will keep evolving constantly.
Twenty-four chests appeared on the screen in front of Allen: eighteen were gray, four green, one blue, and surprisingly, one purple.
According to the system, the tiers of chests within the system are:
- Gray
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- Golden
- Crimson
- Iridescent
Due to the low evolution level of both the system and the gacha function, only golden chests can come out at most, with a very slight possibility.
Although Allen cheated and got an Iridescent ticket, of course, that doesn't mean he'll automatically get an iridescent chest. It just means there's a chance to obtain one.
On his holographic screen to the right, the chat appeared. People started arriving by the hundreds and thousands. Allen was surprised when his viewers reached ten thousand and kept increasing.
Allen hadn't been online since yesterday and wasn't aware of how ridiculously viral the clips from his stream had become.
Allen opened his notifications, displayed as a bell icon. There, a list of notifications about his achievements, statistical reports, viral clips, and more appeared.
Among the most viewed:
- A clip of Batman and the Joker flirting with almost two million views on different platforms.
(Prominent comment) "I'm fed up with live-action not showing the Joker's obsession with Batman. They always depict him as someone cold and heartless when there's a kind of love for Batman."
Allen closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, feeling uncomfortable seeing such a comment.
- A clip of Allen interacting with the Joker with over a million views.
(Prominent comment) "I have one question. Who's that beautiful albino guy, and why isn't he a movie star?"
Allen almost closed the notification tab upon seeing this comment.
'I'm not that handsome,' Allen even felt he needed to take a break from the internet for a while.
- A clip of Allen jumping out of a window amid an explosion with half a million views.
(Prominent comment) "Oh my god! That looked so real! Wtf, his special effects are better than Avatar's! I demand to know who created this masterpiece!"
'Well, those aren't special effects...' Allen thought, his face expressionless.
Finally, a meme of Batman being Batman, putting a tracker on his savior while thanking him. This image went viral on Twitter and FB.
Allen laughed as he remembered that but also felt strange seeing everything that had gone viral in such a short time. Allen sighed; he didn't have time for this, so he immediately checked his credits and almost cursed.
+103,990 credits.
The worst part was that his credits kept increasing constantly, but Allen could only sigh because currently, there was nothing worth buying. Of course, there are things in the store that are worth it, but nothing useful for protecting himself from Doomsday.
Allen took the other shard in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided to use it in the system.
The crystal floated and entered the screen.
Allen watched as the screen changed, becoming a slightly more modern interface.
[+New "Favorite Followers" function – comments from the host's most appreciated followers will have their comments highlighted and will have priority in the chat.]
"Can I see all the comments?"
[You can see all the comments in the interface, but you must learn to highlight your best viewers; it's a way of thanking them for their support.]
Allen had gone from a hundred to ten thousand viewers and they were still increasing, so he had to understand that there were too many people watching him.
[New stream anti-block function – this prevents platforms from blocking or restricting the host's content.]
"I'm sure many would pay for that, hahaha," Allen had seen too many people complaining that they were banned for an inappropriate comment.
[New dimensional storage function]
"Finally, an inventory!" Allen was glad. He was a little disappointed that his system didn't have that function from the beginning, but it was due to his level.
[Host, don't forget to open the rewards in your mail.]
"Can't you just give me the rewards directly?" Allen rolled his eyes.
Allen shook his head and opened his mail, located in the corner of the screens with an envelope icon.
Golden tickets are obtained when Allen manages to impress his viewers and elicit a reaction and emotions from them.
Allen saw many unopened emails but had no time to read them. Fortunately, there was an "Claim All" option below the screen.
+45 golden tickets.
After claiming the golden tickets, Allen saw that there were some unopened emails, which he needed to open himself.
- Reward for reaching one million views
- Reward for first time trending
- Reward for viral content (x4)
- Reward for surviving death
- Mysterious donation - Hello... no matter who I am... this belongs to you, Allen
- Private message from Rick137 - Give me some of your DNA... sounds wrong, everything sounds wrong, but believe me, you'll thank me, kid, if you die.
"That's not going to happen."
Allen was surprised because he didn't know that they could also send him things and private messages. Allen ignored Rick's message and focused on the donation, even feeling strange about the message attached to the gift. It seemed like the sender knew him.
[Host, regular people cannot use the function of private messages and donations other than credits.]
"Damn, you're not going to tell me that this disgusting troll is a god or something."
[No... but it's very dangerous to deal with him. I recommend that you don't accept anything from him outside of interactions in the chat.]
Allen no longer wanted to think about Rick and focused on the other email, feeling a little stupid because he had forgotten to check the mail that was literally a treasure chest.
Allen had been under a lot of stress lately, and so many things had happened very quickly that he couldn't focus on the system, but that wasn't an excuse.
Out of curiosity, Allen opened the email from the mysterious donation. A white glove appeared in his hand.
"A glove?"
- Unknown origin...
- Unknown tier equipment...
- Property of Allen Walker. (Unlocked)
[It's equipment, but strangely linked to the host. Sorry, my level isn't enough to know the meaning of 'unlocked.']
Allen put the glove on his left hand, and it disappeared. Allen didn't panic; he tried to make it reappear, and it worked.
It was very intuitive, and he felt that he could control it just by thinking about it.
"It doesn't seem like equipment, it's more of an ability... or something like that... What did he mean by 'it belongs to me'? Before the system, I was just a normal guy."
Allen placed that in the back of his mind and focused on the central screen and the chests.
First, he opened the green chests.
[Green Grade Sedative Gun: A useful and versatile gun capable of putting lions and bears to sleep - it only has ten darts, but these can be restocked at the store.]
"It doesn't have an immediate effect... which is dangerous... well, in the end, it's a green grade..."
[Host, don't get confused. Unlike other systems, abilities, items, and others are not classified by power or rarity but by the restrictions that accompany them.]
"What do you mean?"
[Just think, does Bullet Time seem like something of a green rank? Regardless of how you look at it, it's an incredible ability, but it has two enormous restrictions: it can only be used once a day and for one second.]
Allen thought for a moment, and all that useless knowledge about video games made the task easier.
"Do you mean that Bullet Time could have come out with another tier, for example, golden, and be more flexible to use?"
[That's right, but there's another restriction, and that's you. Even if you obtain an ability in the Iridescent rank, you might not be able to use it if you're too weak or you might hurt yourself while using it. That's why the host must strengthen with the fragments of destiny.]
"Understood," said Allen.
...
– There are so many people today!... well, I know why.
– You're very popular, Allen. My friends can't stop talking about you.
– Damn, how the heck did DC produce something of this quality, and why is it being played via a stream?
– I knew it, this is fake, look, there's a glitch in the CGI, in Diana's physics.
– Shut up!, you're blind, there's nothing like that. She's using her armor; there's no bouncing. This is real. Allen is a mutant and traveled to another world!.
Allen watched as Aquaman passed through several buildings and the people's comments, but he focused on becoming stronger.
"One thing at a time."
Opening the rest of the green chests, Allen obtained two abilities and a consumable.
[Green Grade Energy Shield Ability: It's an omnidirectional shield capable of withstanding impacts from heavy weapons. Its activation is constant, one minute a day in total, and the host is free to activate and deactivate it at will.]
"A shield... well, it's very useful... so can I activate it sixty times for a second or once for a minute?"
[Feeling of Danger, Green Grade: Alerts the host of possible nearby dangers - a permanent passive ability, but it's not very reliable; characters with high levels of stealth, concealment skills can evade this ability.]
"Well, in the end, it's a low-tier ability..." Allen shook his head and opened the blue chest.
[Blue Grade Regeneration Potion: capable of regenerating lost limbs and serious wounds - only works if the injury is recent and there is no influence from any external power.]
"Finally, the purple chest," Allen said confidently.
[An attractively unlucky entity like yourself is very confident. Why?]
"What did you say?!" Allen was upset to be called that but quickly calmed down. "I was almost turned into a sexual abuser a while ago. A misfortune of that level will bring me luck."
[Now that I remember, the host said to me, 'a stroke of luck and a stroke of bad luck.' Was that what he meant?]
Allen is often pursued by bad luck, but at the same time, he often has strokes of good luck when bad things happen to him.
Allen opened the chest, and a purple glow enveloped him.
[Acquired ******** Energy: literally, it's what you needed to enhance what you obtained in the crimson chest.]
"..."
Allen didn't respond and kept silent. In the end, he had a trump card, but it was like a double-edged sword. He's not a suicidal lunatic and prefers not to risk his life without reason. So, he kept that trump card just for when he's in mortal danger, but with the current reward, it was a bit safer to use his trump card.
Allen closed the screens and leaped through the buildings, heading towards where the fight was taking place. Of course, he had no intention of intervening, but he had to be close if he wanted the fragments of destiny.
Allen heard explosions in the middle of the city and saw the destruction of many houses and buildings.
A camera was pointed at Allen and appeared on the screen of everyone watching the stream, in a small square in the corner.
"No civilians. Flash must have evacuated everyone."
– At last, you appear. Where were you? This was starting to look like Netflix.
– Allen Walker? Hey buddy, how do you make such good CGI?
"Well, I use cutting-edge technology to make it. Plus, they already have Tony Stark flying around. What's so surprising about this level of CGI?"
Claiming that it's real is never-ending. The people who think the broadcast is real are very few. Most viewers come out of curiosity and to pressure Allen to admit that all this is nothing more than a staged circus.
Allen decided to do the opposite, claiming that everything is a lie, CGI, special effects, and a setup, although he doesn't have to do anything. There's no way that after witnessing every detail in high definition transmitted live, they'd think it's fake.
– Hey, is your hair natural?
"Yes, it's natural. Haha, it's uncommon, but I think it's easy to verify that there are people with white hair naturally."
– Do you have a girlfriend?
"Yes"
– No, my Allen has a girlfriend!!
– And he's hetero. Stop bothering him.
– Are you a mutant?
"I know many reject mutants, but it's more out of fear. Who knows, maybe I am one, I don't even know."
– If you're a mutant, does your power have to do with crossing dimensions or something?
– I never liked mutants, but if they're as cute as you... I think I'll switch sides.
"Thank you,"
...
Allen sighed at the absurd amount of comments. He knew this would happen, but he also saw the comments from his oldest viewers. Unlike the common chat, they appeared in a special chat. Allen decided not to mention this, or there would be a war.
– Allen won't read me anymore :(
"Don't worry, Ruby; I'll always read you."
– Oh, thank you, I love you~.
"Haha."
– *Burp* Before you start shooting lightning and all, I recommend you listen to my message. You're one of the few interesting things I can see from here.
"Rick, you swear you'd only do what you said in the message."
– Alright, you caught me, doesn't matter. I hope you remember my words when your guts are scattered on the ground.
...
Allen stopped focusing on the chat and saw Diana, Wonder Woman, flying through a building.
Flash started running across the city at great speed, his speed increasing, he was preparing to give his most powerful attack, the Infinite Mass Punch.
It should be impossible to see Flash run, but the system's cameras were able to record it without any issues. It's a system focused on content creation; it would be a mockery if it couldn't record something in any situation, even if it's within the Speed Force.
In Allen's case, when he used Bullet Time, which the viewers couldn't see, it was because he didn't want the system to record it.
"Everyone, get back!" Batman shouted.
"Resist this, monster." Flash, approaching the speed of light, attacked Doomsday.
Whether by instinct or simply a coincidence, Doomsday grabbed the King of Atlantis and placed him in front of him.
"Damn it." Flash stopped his race, but it was too late, he stumbled and was met by a punch from Doomsday. The monster mercilessly threw Aquaman, unable to do anything, both were left unconscious. Allen didn't have the chat's censorship, he could to see how Barry suffered several severe fractures.
The chat fell silent. Before, they were excited watching this, but then they wondered why. Aren't heroes supposed to win?
Unfortunately, it's not always that way. This is the reality, many times, it all ends in a cruel tragedy.
Allen clenched his teeth but would he run like crazy and perhaps die at the hands of Doomsday? Allen was just an ordinary young man until recently.
Allen knew that this didn't look very good. More than anything, he saw certain deficiencies in the Justice League.
Depending on the version of each of the members of the Justice League, they would have a chance against Doomsday, but specifically, this League couldn't.
"They're going to lose... worse, they'll be killed."
Without Allen realizing, the glove in his hand began to react.
– Oh~ the clown king who laughs at the hypocrisy of God and the arrogance of the devil.
In the chat, someone made a very strange comment, but due to the number of messages, it went unnoticed.
