Million Fans Through Live Streaming: My Journey of Drawing CharmsChapter 1 Live Crafting of Runes
Tom Brown had once told me that every century, the heir of the Eldritch Runes would face a perilous ordeal fraught with danger.
I didn't buy it, so I challenged him to a bet.
Little did I know that I, who had been undefeated for ninety-nine years, would actually lose.
"Lydia Swift, I win. So, you should descend to the mortal world to inscribe runes," Tom joked.
His words still echoed in my mind.
In the blink of an eye, my fate had arrived.
Reluctantly, I sat alone amidst the clouds.
I cradled my chin in my palm, lost in thought, scheming on how to honor my bet discreetly.
Suddenly, a flash of dark red caught my eye atop the misty mountains.
I peered closer, finding a delicate girl draped in red.
For some inexplicable reason, she stood solitary at the brink of an endless abyss, singing and dancing without any discernible pattern or purpose.
With tears streaming down her cheeks, she pleaded, "Please, follow me."
My mind was swirling with doubts, and I was just about to step closer for a better look.
However, I witnessed her leap into the abyss.
Without a second thought, I darted towards her like an arrow.
When I awoke, my stomach churned with discomfort.
The pungent smell of medicine made me nauseous.
After retching, I realized I was lying on a transparent plank road.
The ground was marred with filth, and a deep, foreboding abyss opened up right beneath my feet.
In my hand, I clutched a piece of paper with elegant writing.
[It was my own choice, so no one else is to blame.]
What a coincidence!
I descended to Earth to honor my bet.
To my astonishment, I had possessed the body of a girl who had attempted suicide by drinking pesticide and jumping off a cliff!
She was in the full bloom of youth, so why did she choose to end her life?
Sighing, I delved into her memories, seeking the reason she committed suicide.
Yet, she closed off her heart entirely before her death, leaving behind no clues to her reasons.
The only wish I could glean was her desire for her live broadcast to reach a million fans!
I was stunned.
I pondered, "Had the world's live streaming culture evolved to such extremes?
Did not reaching a million fans mean death?"
My confusion was interrupted by a flickering light.
