MARVEL: STREAMER ASCENSION

In a dark, damp room, Ethan was sitting on his single bed while keeping his laptop on his lap. Browsing Twitter, Ethan suddenly saw an announcement made by someone he followed.

[ I'll start doing live streams from Wednesday. I'll be live every day at 4 pm. ]

Ethan opened their profile and couldn't remember following that person.

Haaaaa~~

With a long sigh, Ethan opened his bank account. His heart ached when he saw the red number on his screen.

[ BALANCE: - $134 ]

"I'm in debt again this month. What I earn isn't even enough to feed myself properly." Ethan looked at the open cup noodles on his bed. He had drunk even the strong-tasting broth.

He wouldn't waste anything.

"Should I try that too?"

Ethan had a Twitch and YouTube channel, but he didn't use them often. He wasn't used to watching live streams. He was more into watching videos and producing them. Ethan had even made some videos before.

However, none of them got many views on YouTube.

"My channel isn't monetized, so I won't even be able to get money from superchat. But should I be thinking about that? I have to start first."

Ethan searched for a YouTube tutorial and set up the entire streaming program in just a few minutes. He was confused about whether to stream on Twitch or YouTube, but he decided to stream on YouTube.

The audience was bigger and more diverse.

"It's just a test. If someone comes, I'll open a game and play it. I don't have much charisma, but at least I can play something."

With a smile, Ethan sighed and clicked the [ Start Live Stream ] button on the " OBS " program he had installed a few minutes ago.

But to Ethan's surprise.

[ ERROR E456711455 ]

A strange error appeared.

Just as Ethan was preparing to open his browser to search for the error, he couldn't move his cursor anymore.

"Shit, this old computer. Fuck you!" Ethan slapped his laptop to try to get it to work again.

SHAKE!

SHAKE!!

SHAKE!!!

"What? Earthquake?"

Ethan suddenly felt his bed shake and creak. In his small bedroom, the comic books on the bookshelf began to fall, and his old television, which no longer worked, fell, making a loud noise.

VUOSH!

Before Ethan could worry, something black appeared above his head. A black hole suddenly appeared. Ethan couldn't believe his eyes. "AAAAAH!! WHAT THE FUCK, SHIT!!! WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"

As he screamed in despair, Ethan's body was sucked into the black hole. His body was grotesquely deformed, but Ethan felt no pain.

It had been a few hours since Ethan woke up from his sleep. He was in his small bed.

However.

"Marvel heroes exist in this world. The songs I knew don't exist, the movies I knew don't exist, the books and comics I knew don't exist."

And the most surprising thing of all.

"As well as fighting villains, these shitty heroes are doing live streams of it all!!!"

Ethan opened YouTube, and all the recommendations were live streams... Of heroes.

He could see the Hulk filming as he ran across a large plateau.

He saw Iron Man broadcasting in first person as he flew through the sky.

And he got to see Black Widow live-streaming herself putting on makeup... Something he never thought he'd see before.

"What the fuck?!"

What's more, a strange window popped up in his mind.

[ Welcome to the popularity system! ]

[ Grow your community and improve every aspect of your life! ]

[ Are you ready for this?! ] (Y/N )

"I must have used some drug before going to sleep."

I've never written any stories about the Marvel Universe. I would appreciate it if you could help me correct future mistakes and support me. 

If you like it, don't forget to add it to the library! I'll post one chapter a day, but then I'll try to increase the frequency of chapters.
