Trapped in a gacha game, I will steal all the heroines.
Chapter 1 Becoming A Protagonist (1)Gacha is a sick style of game that slowly destroys you. This may even be true, and I would like to say it, but in the end, I am also addicted to this style of game, and I make a lot of money because of it.
I am one of the biggest OldTubers, although, unlike others, I am stuck with just one game because of a serious mistake I made. I ended up attracting a community that is definitely worse than the gachas themselves.
My videos usually get millions of views, but if I post a video talking about a series, anime, manhwa, manga, other games, or anything else, they will get a maximum of one hundred thousand views.
Although I deserve this, after all, I am a human garbage, and my fans are too, but they are worse than me. What kind of person insults another just because they are playing something different from the norm?
But this is not a problem because I do not care about these types of comments, and I also have my small percentage of real fans. I even feel bad when I read their comments because they do not know the kind of garbage they are watching.
The real problem is this damn game that I am stuck in [The Fallen World]. I loved this game, and I still do, but after so many years since its release, I have done everything humanly possible, and now I just livestream while repeating the same process thousands of times.
It has come to the point where I disappeared from the internet for two whole months, and in the end, it only gave me more headaches.
"Useless and annoying, I can't take it anymore!" I screamed with all my might, throwing my phone to the ground.
Releasing a deep sigh, I looked at my computer screen.
"What happened to him?"
"Understand the drama that's happening."
"The name 'World Fallen' has never made so much sense."
I looked at my phone on the floor. This damn thing hadn't even scratched. I should be happy I didn't have to buy a new one, so why was I still so angry?
"It's all their fault," I said, looking at the videos about me.
"What the hell are they doing? I said on my damn social media that I was taking a break from the internet."
I looked at the ceiling of my apartment and sighed.
"Better forget about this crap. They're just like me, so I'll just take a shower and record a video."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI grabbed my phone and went to my bathroom. As the water fell on my body, I stared at my phone screen, scrolling through some posts on Red Bird.
"The new big update will be on the twenty-seventh... that's in about nine days."
I started to yawn and put my phone on the support attached to the wall while a song played. Then, I took a real shower.
When I finished, I went straight to my room, grabbed a set of clothes, and walked to my balcony.
Looking at the huge city in front of me, I gazed up and saw a sky full of stars.
"How strange," I chuckled to myself.
As I looked back at the huge city, I pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from my pocket.
"Maybe I should make a video appealing to emotions."
Lighting up the cigarette, I sat on a chair, leaning back.
"Emotional video, what a tasteless joke, Atryan."
Minutes passed and as I exhaled smoke, I stood up from the chair and went inside the apartment. I put the remaining cigarette in the ashtray and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
After checking my breath, I went to my studio. I opened the door and turned on all the lights. I picked up a small remote control on the dresser and changed the colors of all the lights until I found the blue one.
"If the update is in a few days, it would be good to farm some more resources."
I sat down in the chair and turned on two computers: one for live streaming and the other for gaming.
[Atryan started a live stream and is calling everyone for a new gacha.]
A boy who was playing with his phone smiled and clicked on the notification.
"A new gacha, always the same."
In a few seconds, the chat was filled with people.
"Did you finally remember your password?"
"We missed you."
"Poor guy, the chat is an old man."
"Finally back!"
"You disappeared for two months and came back without even telling us, you almost gave me a heart attack!"
And many were making jokes, calling him old and asking if Alzheimer's had gotten worse, among other variations.
While the majority of those in the chat were talking about random things like saying good night or that his little dog had given birth to several puppies, I spoke up.
"It seems like everyone is here, so how about we start talking about the new updates that are coming?"
"What I'm about to tell you is a secret just between us, but they sent me some things, and I think it's better if you start saving up resources."
I clapped my hands with a big smile, obviously a fake smile, but no one cares.
"So, that's why today is grind day. Let's go get that damn crown once and for all. This time, I'm going to find the perfect crown."
"And maybe I'll share some spoilers with you."
Hours passed and after finishing the livestream, I was lying in bed looking at the screen of my phone. It was a video about a new game that was going to be released, the first virtual reality game.
"These people don't know what they're doing."
I turned off the screen of my phone.
"But maybe with a game like this, I can attract a different audience."

"Huh?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI looked around, there was nothing and no one. So, who could have said that?
"I guess I'm hearing things. At most, it was some ghost."
I stayed silent for a few seconds.
"But what the hell am I doing? There's definitely something wrong here."
As I walked through the apartment, trying to find where the sound came from, I heard it again while I was in the living room.
[Synchronization in progress, currently 47% completed.]
"Synchronization?" I let out a long sigh and sat on the floor, continuing to listen to that voice.
[Synchronization in progress, currently 68% completed.]
[Synchronization in progress, currently 81% completed.]
[Synchronization in progress, currently 90% completed.]
[Synchronization in progress, currently 99% completed.]
I smiled.
"I don't know what the hell is going on, but 99%? Isn't it taking too long?" I said, looking around.
[Synchronization in progress, currently 99.9% completed.]
[The great update has been completed.]
"Great update? But wasn't that supposed to happen in nine days?"
[This is my gift to you. Enjoy the experience that you could never have had.]
[Thank you very much for your hard work over the years. I loved every one of your videos.]
[This is a message from an unknown entity. In the midst of eternal boredom, one of its servants introduced human entertainment to it, and you being one of the ones it watched the most, decided to give you a gift since you are unhappy with your current life.]
[So good luck in the cursed world of the game.]
