章節 46: Streaming Rights
The stars began flashing brightly and illuminated the skies, turning the night into an epileptic nightmare.
[The constellation 'Wrathful Sky Commander' is clutching his belly and rolling on the ground.]
[The constellation 'The Mischievous Changeling' is crying from laughing.]
[Many constellations are appreciating the Novice Player's humor.]
Julien squinted his eyes and stared at the sky. What was so funny about this? And why were they laughing like fools?
-They're laughing like fools because you've said something nobody in the history of Tower has ever imagined.
I am doing something historical again?
-Yup. You are being helped by me, so this was bound to happen. Unlike the boy with the fortune card, you aren't creating history based on your luck, but skills.
-Sure, you have my help, but at the end of the day, my role's only 30% while the rest is all you. And I believe that 30% help wouldn't be needed either had you not possessed the misfortune card.
What are you saying?
-Nothing. Just ignore it, and ignore those laughing constellations. Stand your ground and get the streaming rights.
Okay. But what do I tell them to convince them to give me the rights?
-That's for you to decide. Daddy can only help so much, son, huhu.
Julien wrinkled his nose and shook his head.
[The Valkyrie Council has answered the summon.]
[The Elder Valkyrie—Councilor Levana—greets the constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows'.]
The twinkling of the stars subsided as this system message came up.
The night sky was back to its previous calmness and the constellations couldn't believe who had just arrived at the scene.
[The host constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' raises their wine glass for Councilor Levana.]
[Many constellations are in disbelief.]
[Many constellations are wondering whether this is just another layer to the joke.]
[The host constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' has muted the curious constellations for 30 minutes.]
[The host constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' is briefing Councilor Levana about the Novice Player's request.]
A few minutes passed.
Soon, a particular star flashed brightly in the sky and Julien saw the system message:
[The Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Levana, has rejected the Novice Player's request.]
[The Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Levana, has rejected the Novice Player's request.]
Julien stared at the line of words in disbelief and frowned.
-Bitch!
El's annoyed voice rang in his head.
-Atleast hear my boy out before rejecting!
-These Valkyries, I swear these are the most annoying species to deal with in the Tower!
Julien wasn't even surprised at this point. His misfortune really didn't let him do anything properly.
-Daddy will be back in a bit. Don't panic while I'm gone.
I wasn't panicking….
Julien had somehow gotten used to this.
He stared at the stars and said calmly, "A rejection without even hearing my proposal?"
[The host constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' states that many constellations and Valkyries were offended by the Novice Player's proposal.]
To this message, before Julien could react, another constellation replied to this.
[The constellation 'Rebel Sage of Heaven' is questioning the Elder Valkyrie and constellation about what offended them.]
When this came up, there was then a barrage of messages.
[The constellation 'Eternal Flame of the Sky' is pouring tea and wondering the same.]
[The constellation 'Demonic Inquisitor' sips her tea and states she didn't find anything offensive in the Novice Player's request.]
[The constellation 'The Light of the Primordial One' is saddened to see the Novice Player's request not being given any consideration before rejection.]
[The constellation 'Goddess of Bountiful Fields' is wondering on what basis the Novice Player's request was rejected.]
[The Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Levana, states that streaming rights are reserved for Valkyries. A mortal Novice Player cannot obtain the same rights as a Novice Valkyrie.]
[The constellation 'Rebel Sage of Heaven' questions whether such a rule is outlined in the Valkyrie constitution.]
[The constellation 'Eternal Flame of the Sky' questions why the Novice Player cannot be given the rights even though he is willing to forgo a once-in-lifetime opportunity of forming a contract with a constellation.]
The constellations were getting aggressive with their questions.
Julien remained quiet and watched the spectacle unfold.
He didn't even need to do anything, it was quite hilarious for some reason.
[The Elder Valkyrie—Councilor Sierra—is requesting the host constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' to join the discussion.]
[The host constellation 'Sovereign of Shadows' has approved the participation request of Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Sierra.]
-Phew. I'm back. It was such a pain.
You went away to invite another Valkyrie into the conversation? Julien asked.
-Daddy has to do what daddy has to do.
Julien rolled his eyes.
-Just wait and watch now.
[The Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Sierra, states that the council had never received such a request. Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Levana, has passed a judgment based on the normal working procedure of the Valkyries.]
[The Elder Valkyrie, Councilor Sierra, also states that this new request has been thoroughly assessed by the Valkyrie Council and reported to the Supreme Commander.]
章節 47: Sigma Chad
There were many more system messages from Councilor Sierra and they were indirect messages talking about Julien's request.
All Valkyries were females and had a divine status by birth. In their entire history, there had never been any male or another constellation involved in running a channel.
Every Tower had a Valkyrie assigned to them, and these beings were purely involved in telecasting the Players to the constellations.
Since they had the status of divine since birth, their leveling worked differently and wasn't like mortals who aspired to be gods one day.
Valkyries were a species that resided purely in the Tower. They leveled up in strength through their streaming channels. The more constellations that watched them, the more powerful and influential the Valkyrie would become.
Since Julien requested a streaming channel for himself, it would mean he would hinder a Valkyrie's growth of this particular world's Tower.
The Valkyrie Council had a problem with this as relocating a Valkyrie to another world was not possible because this world's people had already cleared 37 floors.
The Valkyrie that streamed them was now connected to them. Removing her from this Tower was good as crippling her, which infringed upon their rights.
However, Julien's request had to be taken into consideration too and could not be ignored due to the pressure from multiple big constellations.
Some of these constellations that were putting pressure had an entire pantheon behind them, that's the level of pressure the Valkyrie Council was dealing with.
Councilor Sierra stated that Julien's request would keep getting rejected if he wants to take over the Valkyrie's channel of this Tower, however, Julien had to step in at this time and clarify:
"No, I'm fine with sharing the streaming rights with the Valkyrie of this world. She could continue having her channel and doing her thing, while me, the channel I would run would only be for a select few constellations. By no means would these numbers in my channel affect the Valkyrie's stream."
El had said that constellations would sponsor Players if they found them amusing. It was more like a donation and they weren't really obliged to help like it was with the contracted ones.
However, El had faith that Julien's Tower journey would be interesting. He had already managed to attract four big ones, and if he just kept these at bay, he would have enough resources and help throughout his journey.
When Julien properly stated that he planned to have a limited number of constellations watching him, the Valkyrie Council had more pressure placed on them.
Constellations wanted to see a live stream through the perspective of a Player. This had never happened before, and Julien would be the first to pull it off.
In the end, the Valkyrie Council had no way to reject Julien's request and relented.
Accepting his request did not harm them, but rejecting it did, and the damage incurred would not be easily repaired. It was not worth the risk.
With that, Julien finally got a system notification, one that was never seen before in the history of Tower.
[You now share the streaming rights with the Novice Valkyrie Falin.]
[Channel FI #29-771 is now accessible to you.]
[Creating your personalized channel…]
[Created — JL #29-157 is your personal streaming channel.]
[The constellation selection has ended.]
[Beginning the final awakening…]
[Error — a system pack is already running…]
[Retrying…]
[Error!]
[Awakening unsuccessful!]
[Teleporting out of the Tower…]
Just like that, his misfortune flared up again and he failed at what was a simple, automatic awakening process.
Julien's vision darkened and he found himself falling in a spiral. Dizziness overwhelmed him and he couldn't make out where he was.
*Fwump—!*
Julien fell on something soft and his body underwent a gentle impact.
As his vision cleared up, he saw a pair of bright crimson eyes staring at him with a smirk.
"Hellouu babygurl~!"
…..
Standing amidst the towering trees of the forest, a tall raven-haired lady in a seductive red dress and black high heels was holding a young, handsome boy in a princess carry.
Her dress hugged her figure, accentuating her curves and revealing her collarbone, while the lower half flowed loosely, fluttering in the breeze and offering glimpses of her toned leg.
The two figures in the middle of nowhere were Julien and El.
As El greeted him with a knowing smirk, Julien knitted his brows in annoyance and said, "How are you everywhere, lotus lady? And of all people I could come across after getting out of the Tower, it just had to be you, didn't it?"
"Fufufu… of course." El said with a hearty chuckle. "I had to be here for you otherwise you wouldn't know how to get back home. Your mom would be really worried if that happens."
El began walking away, her sharp heels slightly digging into the forest floor with each step.
"Can you put me down? It's embarrassing to be held like this." Julien complained.
"I will, if you say daddy please." El said with a smirk.
"Again… what's with this daddy fetish…" Julien was so done.
If she asked him to call her mommy, he would've at least considered it. But daddy? Really?
"If you don't say that, you're not getting away from my embrace until we reach the Tower." El said, as a matter of fact.
The Tower reminded Julien of the failure he suffered. He suddenly got into a serious mood and said, "I failed to awaken at the end. The system had an error."
"I know… huup!" El said and jumped down an embankment.
Her movements caused her breasts to rhythmically jiggle and slap Julien's face.
"What the—" Julien's face turned red from embarrassment. "Hey! Can you not see what's happening!? Are you really okay with this!?"
"What? Are you not enjoying getting slapped by my milkers?" El looked at Julien with a raised eyebrow and asked. "Are you perhaps not into women? Dang… should I transform into an actual daddy—"
"Noooo!" Julien immediately said out loud. "I like women and I'm fully straight! But this position…"
Julien knitted his brows and continued, "It looks similar to a mature MILF carrying a shota in porn doujins."
El stopped in her tracks and looked at Julien with a baffled gaze. "You sure have weird fantasies."
"You of all people shouldn't say that!" Julien hissed. The audacity of this woman who constantly pressured him into calling her daddy…
El shook her head and smiled. "Anyway, I'll put you down for now, but it's not over. I'll have you call me daddy sometime later."
Julien was placed down. He swung his arms and legs to see if they were intact, and feeling them properly, began walking with El to the Tower.
Getting slapped by a real woman's breasts was certainly an experience, but being held like a shota and getting dominated was certainly not worth it! He felt really embarrassed by it.
"You wanted to know why your awakening failed, right?" El asked.
"Yes."
"It's because your Path is already established and you have half awakened."
"Huh?" Julien was confused.
El turned to look at him and winked. "Since you were a porn addict, your Path was already decided. Long before you even came here."
"What…"
