Chapter 3
Lightning was a well-known villain-style streamer on Fruit Site. Whenever he played games with sponsors and they were not on the same team, his aura as a big boss villain would immediately surface. Yet he learned games quickly. Although he was not exactly a top-tier expert, he always managed to grasp the core mechanics quickly. Sponsors often ended up typing GG in frustration after being toyed with by the “Demon King.”
Because of that, during the weekly Saturday night fan appreciation stream, his viewers would rack their brains trying to pick bizarre games just to torment him.
Today was no exception.
As soon as eleven o’clock arrived, the viewers eagerly prepared to flood the chat with game names and watch the streamer suffer.
“I’ll count to three and then click, alright? Anyone who hasn’t sent their suggestion yet, hurry up. I’m clicking now. I’m really clicking. Three!”
Amid a barrage of chat messages accusing him of “cheating again,” his mouse landed on a golden highlighted message.
“Oh? It’s a game recommended by Boss Zhishi! Then we’ll play this one tonight!”
“Let me search for it… Legend… wow, there are a lot of games called Legend. Boss Zhishi, is this a console game or something else?”
【Porter, stop pretending. Just hearing that name tells me it’s one of those trash web games where you deal 999 damage with a single slash. Let’s see what tricks you can pull this time.】
【This kind of game is perfect. If you’re not a whale, you can only shout ‘Big Boss 666!’ Finally we’ll get to see you fail.】
Cheese Crisp Bobo was about to type a message when a pop-up suddenly appeared in the lower-right corner of the livestream interface.
The background showed a boundless “universe.” There were no characters, only a single question:
“Do you want to begin a new life?”
Below it were two options: Yes and No.
And the largest, most eye-catching text on the screen read:
《Legend》
【Say something and it appears instantly. This timing is perfect. Boss Zhishi, please settle the advertising fee.】
【Based on my years of reading novels, streamer, you’re about to get isekai’d.】
【I arrived late. Is this a transmigration livestream?】
【“If you’re my brother, then slash me once.” Not convinced! Is it that you can’t lift the sword anymore? How much did 《Legend》 pay you? I’ll slash once and pay you double!】
The chat exploded with laughter.
The show effect was perfect.
Cheese Crisp Bobo deleted his original message and sent a laughing emoji instead. Then he generously spent 888 coins to drop a massive castle gift.
“From the will of the universe—Porter, just accept your fate!”
The streamer’s nickname was Lightning. When people heard lightning, they inevitably thought of the famous savior from novels. Thus, the teasing nickname “Porter” was born. After all, no one wanted to call him “Scarface.”
“I have a bad feeling about this,” Lightning joked. “What if I really get transported to another world? Then you’ll lose your beloved streamer.”
【I shall raise your cat.】
【I shall spend your money.】
The chat became even more excited, urging him repeatedly.
Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.
Lightning really clicked.
Nothing happened.
The page simply redirected normally to what appeared to be the game’s official website. He exaggerated a huge sigh of relief.
The webpage background was the same “universe” scene from the earlier pop-up, but upon closer inspection it looked slightly different from the usual concept of space.
【Maybe… just maybe… this is simply a game?】
【This website looks really beautiful.】
【Porter, I tried searching for it but couldn’t find the link.】
“Wait, it’s actually a full-dive game?!” The straightforward, old-school gamer glanced at the page. After praising its appearance briefly, he went straight to the download link. When he read the description, Lightning was stunned.
“When I thought it was a transmigration pop-up, it turned out to be a real game pop-up. When I thought it was one of those ‘if you’re my brother, come slash me once’ web games, it turns out to be a full-dive game?! Though apparently it can be experienced using VR equipment.”
The official website had two purchase links in addition to the free VR trial download.
Full-dive helmet: 299.
Full-dive gaming pod: 9999.
These prices were far cheaper than typical VR devices.
Of course, nobody believed it.
The chat was filled with laughter. Everyone was thoroughly entertained.
As a professional streamer, Lightning had plenty of equipment at home. A 308 GB game was a normal size for a VR title, so the download would take several minutes.
During those few minutes, he and his viewers decided to watch the promotional PV together.
Nowadays, no matter how terrible or frustrating a game might be, the PV was always a visual spectacle.
Competition in the industry was practically focused on PV production alone.
Even Lightning, who had seen countless over-the-top promotional videos, was stunned by the opening scene.
The camera began at ground level and rose toward the sky.
It passed through magnificent clouds before revealing a palace.
The palace floating above the clouds was not luxurious, yet every detail made people feel comfortable and calm.
There was no gold.
No jade.
No dazzling brilliance or extravagant decoration.
Yet somehow it made viewers feel peaceful, as though their souls had been purified.
The aerial view was so beautiful that people unconsciously slowed their breathing.
The chat suddenly went silent.
For a long time, no messages appeared.
Only after the camera entered the palace interior and revealed a fantastical garden did viewers return to reality.
A few scattered comments appeared.
【So beautiful… I’ve lost all worldly desires.】
【Yes… no worldly desires at all.】
【Waaah… it’s so beautiful… I’ve never even dreamed of a place like this!】
【Porter, Porter, give me the link! I can’t find it. I want to camp in that garden! I’m willing to live outdoors there!】
【If the actual game looks even one-tenth—no! one-hundredth—this beautiful, I’ll buy it immediately!】
【Screenshot frenzy! Kid, hurry and give us the link. I want to watch this PV ten times! No—one hundred times!】
Modern internet users were quite “tolerant.”
As long as the visuals looked good and the design was not hostile to players, people were happy to support it.
“The Creator must take responsibility for every creation.”
A deep voice echoed.
It was gentle yet solemn, warm yet dignified.
The livestream chat instantly exploded.
The screen filled with “AAAAAHHHHH” and “AWSL,” so dense that Lightning had to disable the chat just to see the video.
The scene moved from the garden into a grand hall.
Inside, everything was pure white.
There was nothing visible.
Yet the breathtaking voice alone had already driven the entire livestream into chaos.
The previous teasing comments vanished.
The screen filled with endless screams.
【Porter, Porter! Drag the progress bar back! I want to hear that voice again!】
【I’m confident now. Hi, honey!】
【AAAAH! I was listening too carefully and forgot to record it!】
Even Lightning, a straight-laced man of steel, felt his ears soften from the voice. The tips of his ears turned red.
But no one mocked him.
Everyone was too busy marveling at how such a voice could exist in the world.
The progress bar refused to move.
Lightning rubbed his ears, unsure whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
“Every life is a miracle of the world.”
The white scene disappeared.
The camera revealed a room filled with bottles and containers. At first glance it still looked like a sacred temple, but upon closer inspection many viewers began to laugh.
【It looks like a chemistry laboratory.】
Many people thought the same thing, but everyone remained absorbed in the intoxicating voice.
“One spoon of wisdom. One spoon of strength. One spoon of magical affinity. One spoon… hm? One bottle of charm?!”
The dignified male voice faltered slightly.
The scene shifted again.
A child about five or six years old stood on a stool with innocent eyes.
“Father God… is that not allowed?”
The little boy’s voice was soft and childlike. A small halo hovered above his golden hair, and a pair of tiny wings behind him revealed his identity.
The adorable little angel sent the chat into another frenzy.
A slender hand gently ruffled the child’s fluffy hair.
With a faint smile, the voice replied:
“Of course it’s allowed.”
The child poured various powders and liquids into a container.
A glowing sphere gradually expanded.
The light dispersed.
A breathtakingly beautiful succubus was born.
Her long eyelashes trembled.
And every viewer’s heart trembled along with them.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Her violet pupils shimmered with dazzling light, as though they could steal a person’s soul.
The chat went silent for several seconds.
Then the livestream nearly lagged.
There were simply too many messages.
No one knew what the owner of that divine voice looked like, but the succubus truly deserved the beauty of an entire bottle of charm.
【H-Hello wife. What about naming our child Lilith in the future?】
【Wife! Wife! I’d give my life if you answered me once!】
【AAAAAAH—MY WIFE—】
The screen was completely covered by comments.
Lightning had no choice but to disable the chat again.
He cleared his throat, about to say something.
But the PV quickly shifted scenes.
In the magnificent garden, the succubus sat on a swing wearing a simple white dress and a flower crown. She was so beautiful that even the splendid garden looked dim in comparison.
“Will Father God come back today? Where did he go? When will he come back and celebrate my birthday with me?”
She tilted her head slightly.
The hopeful expression on her face was heartbreaking.
Anyone watching felt the urge to offer the entire world just to see her smile.
【What succubus?! This is clearly a sacred blessing! A sacred blessing!】
【I don’t even dare imagine how soft her embrace must be…】
【Damn it, I recognized instantly that she’s my wife! You kidnappers, return my wife to me!】
Lightning was about to calm the viewers down when the camera suddenly followed the succubus’s gaze into the distance.
Outside the plane, countless Void Demons had gathered.
Their oppressive presence filled the scene.
Standing before the endless demons was a single figure.
【Father-in-law!!! Damn, father-in-law’s physique is incredible!】
【Hurry hurry hurry! Why is it only a back view? I want to see his face! Please show me my husband’s face!】
【I—I’m in love. That waist… those legs… those arms… Mom, I’m in love!!】
