Tyler woke the next morning in a comfy king sized bed inside a house. And he groaned as he sat up.

"I hate mornings."

The teenager geared up in his armor and had a breakfast of an energy drink with an instant meal from his supplies. Once fed and mostly awake Tyler opened his panel....and whistled.

"I did all that yesterday...and only got halfway to level 11. THAT is an INTENSE grind spike. Makes sense."

He peered out a window and found no one and no zombies in immediate sight. So he sat on the couch with the 45-70 lever action rifle for a cleaning and smiled as he saw the sight was still clear.

"Okay. I'm, bored."

Yuki appeared omn the screen with a smirk.

"So get this."

TYler smirked.

"The livestream reps are here?"

She chuckled.

"I figured you knew. And they are. Disney, Hulu, and Netflicks. Three reps."

Tyler nodded as he set the rifle aside.

"So who gets the final nod here?"

Hannah smiled.

"I do as your legal guardian...so just let me know when."

"This is gonna be FUNNN!"

The sound of a door opening was heard and three suited men took seats in easy viewing of the teenager. The man in the middle smiled porfessionally as he spoke in a mild tenor.

"A pleasure to meet you, Tyler. My name is Eric Blockmon. I represent Disney inc. We have an ofer for you."

Tyler smirked and looked at the other two and they also introduced themselves.

"My name is MArk Inglahin. I represent Hulu and we also have an offer."

"I am Hank. Netflicks and we can make you a better offer."

The teenager chuckled.

"No one from Funimation or Crunchyroll?"

The reps blinked at this and Yuki burst out laughing.

"Not YET, but I suspect that'll change."

"Damn. Eh. I'll be sure to get their attention somehow. Alright gentlemen, let's open this shitshow."

Eric smiled.

"Disney wishes to activate the livestream feature of your helmet so the public may travel with you on your search for an exit, Tyler. As your status as the best player and the best hope in the game in cemented in steel, they felt such a venture would be both lucrative and prudent."

"I'm not looking for a way out."

The three men blinked at this bombshell and Tyler chuckled.

"Yeah. Dunno where you got that one from, buuut I'm not interested in escaping the game. I'm too busy surviving and making sure I DON'T get chomped. So yeah. Makin THAT clear."

Hank chuckled at that one.

"I see what you are. An antihero. Ha. I'm sure we at NEtflicks can make that work."

"You made Cuties work. I should be a walk in the park."

Hank sighed at that dry remark as MArk stepped up now.

"Hulu also wants to have you as a viewable channel, Tyler. And we DO have quite a few contracts with various anime channels. Unless I am mistaken, you are a fan, are you not?"

"Oh I am a loud and proud weeb."

The Hulu rep chuckled.

"Ha. They're gonna love you. Do YOU have any requests Tyler?"

"I do not believe in censorship in ANY form. I am an athiest, lesbians are hot as hell, and I don't care about political correctness OR their bullshit culture. Any issues?"

The Disney rep smiled with a new strain.

"Our program would be rated PG, Tyler. IS that a dealbreaker?"

"Oh absolutely. I am NOT going out of MY way to make YOUR LIVES easier. Don't like the gore and horror? Shouldn't have come to a zombie apocolypse."

A knock was heard and a fourth man entered the room with a smile.

"I apologize for being late. Traffic was murder."

He sat down beside the Disney rep and smiled.

"My name is Heinrich MUller and I represent Shudder. The horror exclusive streaming platform, and I have an offer for you, Tyler."

THe teenager chuckled.

"Now THAT makes MUCH more sense. So, Eric, NO censors, NO sugarcoating, NO political correctnes bullshit and I LOVE offending people. If any of these are an issue...the door is over there."

Eric rubbed his hair with a sigh.

"Kid you are making a mistake. We can give you the world-"

"IT'LL BE ON MY TERMS. NOT yours."

Tyler cut him off with a smirk.

"I already have EXACTING terms for MY contracts. Break them, and you lose out on EVERYTHING to do with MY Ip and everything around it. So, Eric, I wil ask you ONE more time: DO YOU, HAVE AN ISSUE?"

ERic sighed as he got up.

"I see we are unable to negotiate. I will inform the higher ups."

ERic left and Tyler chuckled as he looked at the remaining three.

"Do YOU have any issues with my blatantness?"

Hank frowned.

"How far do you go in your....views?"

"Doesn't matter how far I go. There will be NO censors or ANY muzzling. At ALL."

"Kid we are trying to make your feed as accessable as possible. If you go TOO far we won't be ABLE to air it at ALL."

"Ha. Not MY problem. I've already came across a zombie sexslave in here once. And no detail was spared to ME and yes she WAS a zombie. So no. YOU are NOT getting that luxury."

Even the Shudder rep shivered from that image.

"Jesus. This is going to be a fucking GOLD mine!"

The Hulu rep was also smiling widely.

"Oh absolutely. Tyler is what we LONG for in a reality show. Bold, utterly brash, FEARLESS and not afraid to cause problems for the establishment. This is gonna be ratings gold."

Hank sighed as he rubbed his eyes.

"Netflicks is in desperate need for a pull. I'll make a phonecall. Let them know we are either going all in or getting nothing."

He walked out and Tyler looked at the Hulu rep.

"sooo question."

Mark smirked.

"I can put in a word for the anima channels."

"Good. Yeah I'mma enjoy this."

Yuki smirked as she cleaned her barretta beside the slightly intimidated represetatives.

"Extortion at it's best."

"I'm kinda good at it."

Hank walked back in and sighed as he sat down.

"Alright, kid. You've got your uncensored stream. Everything will be as raw as the feeds can allow...so have fun mentally SCARRING the world."

"Will do. So what's yer offer?"

THe door opened again and a tired Eric was seen returning with a distinct tail between the legs feeling.

"After a period of deliberation, my superiors have agreed to the raw broadcasts. They are also willing to alter the contract around this due to the.....graphic...nature of the feeds."

TYler chuckled as the defeated man sat down.

"I thought so. Alright. What we lookin at?"

Eric looked at a paper.

"Disney will sign you as a network streamer for a sum of 500,000 at signon with a monthly paycheck of 125,000 depending on ratings earned that month. Higher ratings, higher payouts. In this time you are expected to promote Disney properties on your travels. Quotes, weapons, characters, how you seek to do so is entirely up to you. And yes there WIL be interviws and screenings of Disney projects as well."

TYler chuckled.

"And would I get input on any projects upcming?"

THe group blinked at this and Eric became guardedly curious.

"I...would need to ask. What...FORM of input are you suggesting?"

"Oh saaay something I made myself getting made into a blockbuster?"

EVERYONE was taken aback by this question...and MArk smirked./

"So THAT'S why you want a line to the Anime studios. Okay kid. I can offer you the same as Diseny's pricetag and terms with the additional use of our resources to get your pet project off the ground."

Heinrich chuckled.

"I can only offer you 250,000 upfront and yeah. We just want to scare people."

TYler chuckled.

"I can do that. I already planned to sign with multiple Ips anyway."

Eric recovered from the request and hung up his phone.

"They would need to see what exactly you have in MIND for future projects, but they are open tio the idea. An example of one such project, Tyler?"

He smirked.

"Well....it's a bit...far more reaching...then just ONE studio. You ever hear of the multiverse theory?"

THe man smirked himself now.

"KId we OWN the marvel cinematic universe-"

"Then imagine a story where the barriers beTWEEN the realities collaspe and every fictional character ever start to appear in OUR WORLD as it IS. Characters from anime, videogames, manga, DISNEY MOVIES and GAMES, all not having to coexist in a global war against the VILLAINS of their repsective realities in an ultimate war of the worlds scenario."

THe reps were silent as they processed the idea...and Tyler smirked.

"THAT is MY pipedream."

A long, slow smile spread across Eric's face now.

"Which characters SPECIFICALLY?"

"A LOT. Kingdom hearts mainly for Disney. But we're talking everyone from High schol DxD and Black Lagoon, to Overlord and Girls Und PAnzer all meeting up with Fairytail, Kingdom Hearts, Azur LAne, Danmachi, STRIKE WITCHES, That time I got reincarnated as a slime, Bofuri, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Pirates of the Carribean, and many more aside all landing in our reality and have to adapt to life in a new world....WITH their extreme powers intact and all of our....various depictions...of them intact."

The men whistled at the idea and Eric shook his head.

"The sheer VOLUME of actors, characters, deals and everything would be astromical. And yet?"

"If we do this RIGHT...we can rewrite the book on collaberations as it IS."

Hank smirked.

"And to DO this....it would HAVE to be animated. And be episodic."

"With the most unseen plot twist in ANY medium. Because the intial story has NOTHING to do with reality bending mindfucks."

They blinked again and Tyler chuckled.

"There's nods to various shows and shoutouts....but you have no idea what's coming unTIL the shit starts hittin the fan."

MArk lifted an eyebrow.

"Do you already have a script, Tyler?"

"Script, story, SEQUALS, and a ROADMAP allll ready to go. It is called, Tale of the Demon."

Yuki and Hannah blinked....and the blonde doctor smiled widely.

"WE'VE read it gentlemen.....and HE has a VISION and my GOD is it depressing at times. Disgustingly graphic at others and yet? I LOVED it."

Eric smiled.

"I wil present your request to my superiors. And if they greenlight it....we will throw the entire name of Disney behind it. And we HAVE had many dealings with various studios over the years."

Hank smirked.

"WE'LL get in on this too."

Mark nodded.

"And so wil Hulu. It's clear he wants to build a world breaker. So I wanna help!"

TYler smiled.

"Alright. My terms."

He held a paper up and Yuki smirked as she copied it down for him...and the reps smirked at the draconian style clauses. Eric chuckled as he signed it.

"We have a deal...and the transmitter will be scanned weekly by Yuki at a random time."

The new transmitter was slotting into the auxillary port of the helmet and Tyler smirked.

"How long until the broadcasts start?"

Eric chuckled.

"The backlog of recordings began immediately and we can expect them to catch up to you in three days viewing."

TYler smirked at that.

"I'll ad an extra day to my craft/loot spree in town. Then they can shit their pants in real time."

The reps chuckled at that one and Yuki sighed.

"I...am going to need more ammo."

Hannah sighed as well.

"And we'll need a CELEBRITY suite too. They have auto-locking doors, better chairs, a more comfy bed, and a place for security to sleep too. Tyler...is going to get VERY famous VERY quickly."

The teenager looked at the reps.

"Are the videochats included?"

Eric nodded.

"They are. As insight into your mind and your thought projector is also included. Like you're some kinda movie star with inner monoluges."

That one made him chuckle.

"All I'll say....GOOD LUCK keeping up. Alright. Anything else we need talk about?"

The reps shook their heads and Eric smiled.

"We'll work a seperate deal out for merchandise and dropins. And know you CAN interact with your soon to be fanbase as the game came with a rather inTENSE streaming feature. Perfect 4K picture and sound so...put on a show for us!"

TYler smirked as he loaded shells into his 45-70.

"Oh I can do that much....I HAPPEN to be a bit of a showoff."

Yuki sighed again. This time in despair.

"Great. NOW we're accessories to a terrorist training program, he has ENCOURAGEMENT to do stupid stunts, and has a REASON to be weird. This is gonna be a funhouse nightmare."

Tyler chuckled at that one before the reps all rose with Eric nodding.

"We lok forward to working with you, Tyler.....and try NOT to die. Would look really bad on live TV."

"I'll be sure to."

The men left and Tyler chuckled at the turn of events as he looked at Yuki.

"Well MY future is set. Any word from the idiots on the rex?"

The delta soldier smirked.

"You're still holding onto the top slot by a landslide. Right now many of the higher tier players are being approached for streaming deals and label signings. So for the time being the trivalization of your horrors will continue."

TYler smirked as he peered out a window.

"I'l be sure to flaunt the lack of censors...and ROYALLY fuck with the system as much as I can."

Hannah smirked.

"Watching that mother daughter porn on livestream?"

"And OTHER things too."

"Just don't fuck a zombie with US in the room. WE still LIKE sleep."

TYler chuckled at that one and took the bootleg air compressor dartgun from his supplies.

"I'll ALSO rework this into something a bit more exotic. I KINDA wanna shoot a dildo from it at a lethal force."

The women laughed at that obsurd idea and Yuki shook her head with a smirk.

"DO it. Death by dick. Ha."

"So THAT'S what it's like beiong dicked over?"

The ladies groaned at the atrocious pun and Tyler chuckled at their pain.

"Oh I'mma enjoy this one."

Yuki sighed as she looked at Hannah.

"The PUNS are going to be TORTURE."

"We're going to need booze."

TYler smirked.

"Well ya GOT plenty of boobs right there....oh you said BOOZE....eh one thing leads to another."

Both busty ladies snorted at that one and Yuki sighed.

"And watch him turn into some kinda heart throb playboy prick. I'll need a shotgun."

TYler chuckled and let the teasing die.

"Well I'mma do somethin. You two have fun."

THey smirked at that nudge and the videocall ended. Tyler then looked at his supplies and leaned back on the couch.

"Alright. What's FIRST?"

The survivor looked out a window and noted no one in sight...and shrugged.

"Eh. Rest day."

So he flopped ont he couch and the ladies sighed as they watched on the screen.

"Lazy kid."

The teenager yawned as he opened his collection of anime...and smirked.

"High School of the Dead.....appropriate."

Yuki and Hannah sighed as Tyler litterally wasted the entire day watching zombie apocolypse anime, inside a zombie apocolypse deep dive video game that was trying to kill him.

"Okay. THAT is SERIOUS mindfuckery. And why am I not surprised?"

Hannah chuckled at that one as she signed the paper to have Tyler's body moved to a celebrity suite.

"Oh come on Yuki. He's a celebrity now! So he can do whatever he wants!"

"So long as he doesn't think he can FUCK whoever he wants....oh crap."
