It was only at that moment I noticed that there was an old, battered cell phone held at arm's length. Its camera lens was fixed squarely on me.
Comments flooded the screen.
I thought, "Holy crap!
This girl was live streaming her own suicide!
Could millions of fans truly mean more to her than life itself?"
I couldn't comprehend it, yet I was utterly stunned by the revelation!
A surge of curiosity overwhelmed me. What could she possibly gain if her fan count hit that one million mark?
Could this number truly be worth risking her very life for?
Pondering this, I shifted my focus back to the phone that was still directed at me.
However, due to the suddenness of her act, not a single viewer in the live broadcast realized she had just taken her own life!
The screen was nearly overwhelmed with question marks as comments flooded in; everyone was left speechless, grappling with the confusion of what had just unfolded.
Netizen 1: [Hey! What just happened? I only caught a glimpse of the host suddenly lying down on the glass walkway!]
Netizen 2: [That's all? Is she just pretending to jump for show?]
Netizen 3: [Oops! Others fake a tumble on the red carpet, but here's our host faking a leap off a cliff! What on earth is going on?]
Faced with this, all I could manage was a wry smile. My sympathy for the girl's plight grew with each passing second.
Given that I had the opportunity to save her and I was also tasked with the responsibility of overseeing the bet involving the crafting of runes in the mortal realm, I decided to use her body for a hundred days to aid her in fulfilling her final wish.
Once I made my decision, I instantly shifted my mindset and fully embraced the role in a mere second.
Wearing an expression of harmless sincerity, I lifted my face and smiled warmly at the camera, beginning to explain.
"My fans just surpassed 1,000. I was so thrilled that I jumped into a dance to celebrate without even a hint. How impolite of me!"
No sooner had I spoken than a fan, going by "Mashed Potato", eagerly typed out: [Who cares about that? Let's see something with real substance!]
Seeing this, I offered my advice with genuine sincerity.
"I'm not sure about much else, but how about I demonstrate how to craft a rune?"
This sparked a frenzy of comments.
MysticMuse: [Runes? Is that something that can actually work through a screen?]
