Chapter 201 Streamer



Villain Ch 201. Streamer

Bella's urgency echoed through the phone, her tone leaving no room for further discussion. "Just check the forum, Allen. We'll catch up later. I need to inform the others," she declared, her voice laced with a sense of determination. And with that, she abruptly ended the call, leaving Allen standing in his room, his curiosity ignited.

Placing the phone on his desk, Allen powered his laptop up, eagerly waiting for the familiar start-up chime. As the screen flickered to life, he navigated his way to the web browser and swiftly typed in the address for the Hell's Gate gaming forum.

His eyes widened as he was greeted by a flood of new posts, each one seemingly more intriguing than the last. The forum exploded with activity overnight, with countless players sharing their thoughts and experiences from the previous day's event. The posts ranged from speculation and theories to firsthand accounts of encounters with powerful villains. And amidst it all, the devil emperor's name appeared repeatedly, threading through the discussions like a common thread.

Tentatively, he clicked on one of the posts that caught his attention. The page loaded with lightning speed, revealing a passionate debate about the events that had unfolded. Words blurred together as he skimmed through the comments, his heart pounding in his chest.

The forum was teeming with two distinct types of posts that immediately caught Allen's attention. The first category consisted of players exchanging information and strategies regarding the enigmatic figure known as the Devil Emperor, along with his formidable subordinates. They delved into detailed discussions about the Devil Emperor's strength, skills, and powers, hypothesizing his tactics and even attempting to decipher his attack patterns. It was evident that the players still regarded Allen and his companions as sophisticated AI opponents, assuming they adhered to the conventional patterns found in other games.

However, it was the second type of post that truly piqued Allen's interest. These threads were accompanied by a flurry of video clips, screenshots, and links to game streamers' broadcasts. The majority of these streams hailed from the popular platform Twitcx, and the comments and replies associated with them left Allen utterly dumbfounded.

One particular comment caught his attention, causing a mix of bewilderment and amusement to wash over him.

"Okay, did anyone find the devil emperor is kinda hot or is it just me? *Blush emoji*"

- (Reply) "Don't worry, pal. I'm a male and I also found the devil emperor is kinda hot. *Laughing emojis*"

"Dear, all game developers. This is the villain we all want. Ruthless and cool at the same time."

"I'm a 31 year old single female. I'm an introvert and hate going out or going on dates. Can I just marry this dude instead of looking for a normal date?"

- (Reply) "Simp! Marry me instead!"

- (Reply) "Bruh, how can you propose someone online while your PFP is an anime girl's ahegao face?"

Allen's jaw dropped in disbelief as he read through the outrageous comments and reactions left by the game's player community. His confusion and astonishment were evident, etched across his face like an open book. He had anticipated discussions surrounding strategies and tactics, but he never expected the unexpected twist that awaited him.

"What the heck did I do?" Allen muttered to himself, still bewildered by the unexpected turn of events. He had only focused on defeating and killing other players in the game, so why had it turned into something entirely different? The confusion swirled within him, but amidst the perplexity, a glimmer of excitement emerged. This newfound attention meant more players, and ultimately, more revenue for him and his team.

Still, he was confused with this turnout of events. It didn't make sense to him at all!

With curiosity burning in his chest, he clicked on one of the most popular video streamers who had garnered an astounding number of views and replies. The streamer, known as "GamerGoddess87," was hailed for her expertise in MMORPGs, capturing the hearts of viewers with her charismatic presence and entertaining commentary.

The page was loaded. Allen found himself face-to-face with a blonde-haired female gamer who exuded a cute and approachable aura. It was evident why she had amassed such a dedicated following.

The streamer's video began with an animated introduction, complete with catchy background music. Her voice was soft and nice. Her energy was infectious, drawing viewers in and making them feel like they were experiencing the game alongside her. She effortlessly combined gaming expertise with humor, leaving her audience captivated and craving more, even for the grim dark game like Hell's Gate.

As the video progressed, GamerGoddess87 shared her firsthand experience with the game's latest event, where she encountered him, the Devil Emperor. She recounted the intensity of the battle, emphasizing the character's allure and magnetism. The streamer's genuine excitement and admiration for the villain were palpable.

Allen watched the video in disbelief as GamerGoddess87 narrated her encounter with the Devil Emperor. The scene played out before his eyes, leaving him momentarily taken aback by the brutal nature of his character's actions. He saw himself as the Devil Emperor, targeting the streamer's avatar, toying with her, and ultimately ending her virtual life. He even smirked and smeared blood on her lips before delivering the final blow. It was a brutal scene, at least for him.

But what struck him the most was the streamer's reaction after her character's demise. Instead of expressing anger or frustration, she removed her VR headset and turned to face the camera, her expression a mix of confusion and amusement. "You know, I started thinking he is hot. I think I need to check my sanity," she commented, her words tinged with a touch of self-doubt.

Allen's shock was evident as he cringed in response to her words. "Wait, hold up. I just literally killed you, and you find me... hot?" he blurted out, his voice a mixture of disbelief and incredulity. The idea that someone could be attracted to the very character responsible for their demise was beyond comprehension for him.
