Liberate.tv!

The number-one streaming website in the world!

It was a place filled with hundreds upon hundreds of streamers, ranging from gamers, chefs, and even the e-girls that wore risque clothing while they conversed with their numerous simps.

Liberate.tv catered to nearly everyone, and it just so happened that one particular streamer was returning after an impromptu break.

His name was Jun Wuxian, an independent V-tuber that has been making waves even after being gone for a few days.

His elegant style and seemingly multilingual prowess had captured the hearts of thousands.

One of his most viewed videos was a thirst trap which currently sits at a whopping 500k views beating out his lore video by nearly 200k.

Things seemed to be looking up for the new vtuber, and only time would tell if he would go even higher.

-Queens, NYC -

In a quiet room located in NYC, a certain blonde-haired man was preparing to live stream on his computer.

This was, of course, Emil C. Valentine, the man behind the V-tuber Jun Wuxian.

Despite being unable to control his words, he was quite excited to stream again, which was made evident by the lively smile on his face.

Emil was still a bit skeptical about his particular circumstances, but he believed that to be normal for someone like him.

The system that had granted him supernatural powers came out of nowhere, and the more he knew, the more he seemed lost.

Would it have been better if he was just like those light novel characters that never questioned anything?

Surely it would have been simple, but of course, usually, those involve having a second life.

'I still am alive...for how long, I don't know. I can't become complacent...I need more strength...'

It may seem like Emil was just rolling with the punches, taking everything lightly, but it was eating him up inside.

He clenched his fist, 'If I remain this way...nothing is ever going to change...I can't let someone just—'

In a swift motion, he downed a bottle of water, exhaling a sigh of pure relief, savoring every drop of its icy coolness.

He was getting a bit too stressed.

'I can't keep doing this to myself. It's time to step up for real.'

After tossing the bottle away into a nearby trash bin, his eyes started to glow, a sign that he was circulating his qi.

"Let's start the stream," Emil said, grabbing hold of the mouse to move the cursor to the start button.

("Finally, I thought you'd never do it.") Mona cheekily replied.

"I go at my own space. If you got a problem with that, you can go haunt someone else." He shot back.

("Unfortunately, I'm stuck with you for the foreseeable future. Perhaps forever~ Won't that be fun?")

'God...' Emil groaned, rolling his eyes.

"...Oh, hey, before I forget. Lambert, could you shut the door?" He asked, turning to his furred gentleman that was lying nearby.

"Bark!" Lambert happily obliged, and with his head, he quickly closed the door before returning to his master's side.

"Good boy!~" Emil chuckled, rewarding Lambert with a well-deserved pat on the head.

(A/N: To make things more simple for me. Whenever Emil is playing as his Vtuber, he will be referred to as Jun Wuxian. I'm just letting you know!)

Once that was done, he finally clicked start, and a familiar feeling overtook him.

The stream had begun.

"Well....well."

On the grand screen, captivating the attention of thousands, a man with flowing black locks adorned in regal attire emerged, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.

With a mischievous smirk, his steely grey eyes scanned the area, shifting from side to side before finally settling on what was directly in front of him.

The viewer.

"Was I missed?" He asked.

Soon after the question was asked, hundreds of replies were coming through the stream chat.

∆Zeala2- Missed! Definitely missed!!

∆DarkQueen4 - Finally, my life has meaning...

∆JunWuxiansWife - I LOVE YOUU!!

∆Lilipse- Don't leave ever again!

A genuine smile graced Jun Wuxian's handsome face as he chuckled, "Hehe, I won't make any promises, but I am fully committed to giving it my utmost. After all, I cannot bear the idea of disappointing my beloved subjects, can I?"

Almost immediately, hearts and emotes flooded the stream chat as small donations started to come in one by one.

Most were welcoming him back while some were...

Avanada7 has donated $30

∆ - Notice me, Daddy!

Jun Wuxian's lips curled into a wry smile as he chuckled softly. "...I don't believe I bear the honor of being your father. Perhaps you have the wrong person?"

Soon after he replied, the chat started to call him 'Daddy' or 'Daddy Jun.'

"Oh, dear..."Jun Wuxian let out a weary sigh, his fingers lightly kneading his temple as he shook his head.

"You're going to make me put you all in time out before I even make the big announcement." He continued with a frown.

∆Exerma - Announcement???

∆RosYe3 - Tell us!!

∆Gelldor - My dad came back?!

∆SunnyZ - Announcement!!? Half-Life 3 is confirmed!!

∆Hunny2 - You're going to show us your feet?

'...I thought my audience was normal...but it seems like that's not the case...' Emil thought, shaking his head. 'But I should have known...this is the internet.'

With his arms tightly folded and a deepening frown, Jun Wuxian issued a stern warning, "Should your unruly behavior persist, I may find it necessary to administer appropriate punishment."

LucyTel12 has donated $10

∆ - Don't threaten us with a good time! I mean...oh nooo, don't do that...

AsliaX has donated $5

∆ - What kind of punishment are we talking about?

HolyGazer has donated $20

∆ - You promise to hand out punishment?

"You all...seriously." Jun Wuxian let out another sigh as his shoulders slumped in defeat. "Nevermind, I'll forgive all of you this time."

∆LucyTel12 - Nooo!! DON'T FORGIVE ME AHHHH!!

∆HolyGazer - My dreams have vanished...just like that.

∆AsliaX - Ah...

Seeing their responses in chat, Jun Wuxian chuckled before continuing with his conversation.

"So...I have some things I wanted to discuss, and then I'll make the announcement."

The stream was just getting started.

-Onboard The Arg0-

Unbeknownst to everyone on Earth, a giant golden starship floated just outside the planet's atmosphere.

It was the Arg0, a miracle ship with a plethora of robots and technology that could advance the planet in a future they could never dream of.

Of course, one such robot...or android, had already made contact specifically with the US government.

"Said I can't go with him, huh...I'll show him," Aphrodite said as her eyes flashed with s blue light.

*Beep Beep*

"The captain suggested that you stay onboard and keep an eye on the blonde-haired woman known as Gwen." A familiar robotic voice sounded out. It was the ship computer.

"I know that." Aphrodite scowled. "But I can do that through you. I don't have to stay up here. I want to be down there with the captain."

After Gwen collapsed from the strange spider, Emil told Aphrodite to watch her as he returned to his home planet. During the initial hour, she managed to cope with the situation, but gradually, a sense of unease crept over her as his absence lingered.

Soon, she turned to the ship's advanced computer system and utilized its capabilities to meticulously construct a counterfeit identity that would withstand even the closest scrutiny.

Her unwavering commitment to him knows no bounds! She will go to any lengths necessary to remain faithfully by his side!

"He won't get mad, will he?" She asked, obviously a bit worried about the consequences.

*Beep Beep*

"The likelihood of the captain not getting angry is an astonishingly 0.0001%." The computer responded.

Though the computer's voice maintained a monotonous tone, there was an uncanny presence of subtle sarcasm that managed to seep through.

"So, it's not zero!" Aphrodite exclaimed with a smile. "I think I'll take my chances." She nodded.

Some people would think that being an android automatically makes one bright, but it seems like that wasn't the case.

While everything was going on, Gwen was having a peculiar dream, one she desperately wanted to wake up from.
