On my screen, Tails slid off the zip line and flowed smoothly through the open doors of the enemy’s base. My team was already up there raiding the place, though I was a bit delayed since I was buying stuff for the final fight of the game.
| DeadLockedIn: You’ll have to back after first phase
| FoxLover: nah, Sakura-sama has this in the bag
| Abra-ram_Me: kidding? she’s barely done anything this match”Abra-ram, sweetheart, that’s because I actually got competent teammates for once.” I casually read chat while munching on a bag of chips held in my hands. My tail flicked the mouse, shooting at the minions and clearing the wave so we could press forward. Even as I did that, my eyes never stopped sweeping over the map.
| FoxLover: I’m Eternus 6. You could always have a competent teammate.
| DeadLockedIn: if this guy over extends it’ll be a wipe
The guy LockedIn was talking about was further back. I repositioned myself using my Spirit Form to catch the enemy just before he could escape back into the base and heal. The moment he saw me coming, he instantly tried to dart back.
“Aw, he’s so shy! Don’t run away from me now, sweetie.” Charm slammed into him, grabbing him before he could flee. “See? He just needed a little encouragement.”
My tails swished playfully behind me as my teammates fell on the guy like a pack of starving wolves. Detective hit him with Charge just as my stun ended, CCing him again. Before he could move, Gambler simply flicked in the enemy’s direction and his health bar did a magic trick. One second he was alive, and the next one he wasn’t. By then, though, the guy was holding totally still and had already given up.
“Ace!” The narrator called out in a gravely voice. “Bring me their patron’s head! Complete the ritual, my champions!”
”Mmmm… I do love it when they know to surrender under me~” I smiled at the camera, and one of my tails flicked forward to brush the side of the Listener-San's jaw. My voice dropped into a velvety whisper. “It makes me wonder how many of you would be brave enough to surrender to me too.”
| FoxLover: under you? Under you? Under you?
| SakuraSimp: I’ve already surrendered!
| DeadLockedIn: I could go without the commentary
| ASMRWhen: you’re just as bad as the rest of us LockedIn
| Abra-ram_Me: bro’s really acting innocent over there
“That should be game. Such a shame. I usually like to play for a longer time~” I joined the rest of the team in pounding apart the patron. The second we dropped its health bar and the base entered its second stage, three people on their team had their respawn timers drop to ten seconds.
I shifted forward toward their respawn as we waited for the invulnerability between phases to end. Three of the enemy around the base would give it immunity until we dealt with them. By then, the others would also respawn. I didn’t want this game to go on any longer than I had to.
The moment the enemy respawned and rushed out to defend their base, I leaned forward to take the mouse and keyboard in hand. Charm accurately flew out, stunning one of the enemy. The second his teammate surged past, I activated Spirit Realm. The second enemy was pulled into a subspace, staggering him as well.
I dodged around his attacks and magic as my health bar slowly whittled away. By the time my ultimate ended and we were dumped back out, both of his teammates were already dead. At this level of play, staggering was incredibly fatal. That sentiment was proven a moment later as my entire team collapsed on the poor guy.
The victory screen popped up a moment later, and I leaned back in my chair. “That’ll probably do it for me, my snacks. Thank you for joking me as always!”
| FoxLover: DON’T LEAVE ME!!!
| YuriFan: Fine, fine, thanks for the stream
| ASMRWhen: another successful day of clip farming
| ASMRWhen: I’ll drop the master track soon guys
| RedPants: Up above, I’ll have to change my name to white pants
| Fenrir_x_Sakura: don’t leave quite yet streamer!
| SakuraSimp: thank you for blessing us goddess Sakura
| Fenirr_x_Sakura redeems 5,000 channel points! (Ask a question)
| Fenrir_x_Sakura: What do you think of the rest of your gen?
”Aw, so cute. Are you trying to hold this little fox hostage, darling?” I temporarily disabled the channel points feature before anyone else could follow their lead. I actually had somewhere I needed to be tonight. ”Hmmm… I wonder.”
I went silent, and watched the chat roll by. I was at 51,000 viewers at the moment, with quite a few regulars in the chat. It’d been about two weeks since our debuts, and I’d been streaming almost nonstop to keep my audience. I had to leverage my advantages where I had them. This was actually the first time I was stopping a stream before it went past the ten hour mark.
“My gen mates? I guess I should start with Bella, shouldn’t I?” I leaned forward to the camera, and closed DeadLeague. “She’s so incredibly cute! Ah, everytime I watch her stream I want to pull her into a big hug and never let her go!”
| MotherCat: HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER
| BellaEnjoyer: RISE UP BELLA
| SakuraSimp: none of them are as good as our Sakura
| HorrorGamesAreMyJam: it sucks she’s the only one that plays horror games
“Mmm, the twins are pretty funny.” I hadn’t interacted with Kale and Kat very much beyond raiding them. My tails flicked in thought. “Sol and Luna… I really want to try and play a coop game with them at some point. I think a collab stream would be fun.”
The twin elves probably wouldn’t enjoy DeadLeague from what I’d seen, but it would be kinda funny to see them in a lane together. Honestly, they just turned their normal bickering into their streaming personalities and it worked perfectly. From what I’d seen during agency meetings, they would bicker even if the world was ending around them.
| ElfSuperiority: my king and queen were mentioned!
| SakuraSimp: you don’t need anyone else Sakura
| DaggerEars: they were talking about a five play coop game the other day
| MotherCat: OH! INVITE BELLA!
| MoonGoddes: Good. More fodder to appreciate my elf queen
| WOWFan: Or play a MMORPG together!!!!
”Yeah, that might be fun.” All five of us struggling to play a game together would probably be super fun. Too bad the agency forbade us from doing collab streams for the first month. I’d have to wait another two weeks before then.
Their reasoning was actually pretty simple. All four of us needed some time to generate our own audiences and identities without being influenced by the others too much. The twins were naturally an exception since their identity was together.
| Fenrir_x_Sakura: what about wolf mommy?
| YuriFan: Fenrir collab when?
| BlackDog: woof woof
| Simp4099: FENRIR BEST GIRL
| Gambler: how many donos for Fenrir collab?
| SadgeWolf: Thoughts on Fenrir?
“What is there to say about her? That stubborn, stupid, sexy wolf gets on my nerves like one else.” I froze as I realized what just slipped out of my mouth, and two of my tails darted to cover my face. It was too late, though. Chat had definitely heard it, and the messages were already flying.
| YuriFan: SEXY? SEXY? SEXY?
| Fenrir_x_Sakura: you mean I have hope?
| SadgeWolf: do I need to change my name to happy wolf?
| FoxLover: SAKURA’S TYPE CONFIRMED
| FoXLover: WHY DID I HAVE TO BE BORN HUMAN?!?!?!
”You lot are so excitable.” I pressed a hand to my chest, and slipped into a teasing voice to cover my slip up. “I say one little thing about the wolf, and suddenly everyone’s a gossip.”
| FoxLover: Gossip more? Gossip more?
“I wonder…” I leaned toward the camera, and my voice lowered to a whisper, “should I tell you more, my lovely snacks? I’ve got so many stories I could share~”
| Fenrir_x_Sakura: SPILL THE TEA SPILL THE TEA
“Hmmm…” I let the silence linger for a bit while chat flew. I idly trailed a finger along the ear of the Listener-San. “I think I’ll keep them to myself. I wouldn’t want to spoil you before you get to see us together~”
| SakuraSimp: For a collab, right?
| FoxLover: right streamer?!?!?
| Fenrir_x_Sakura: be still, oh my beating heart.
”Oh, right, we should collab too.” I snickered softly as chat surged once more. One of my tails lazily curled around my wrist, and brushed along my skin. “She does challenge content, right?”
Although I asked, I was well aware of what she did. Sable was the only variety stream amongst us, which meant the collab could literally be anything. Including DeadLeague if I could convince the wolf. Her first stream was a little rough, but she found her lane by accepting all sorts of challenges from her viewers.
My thoughts slipped to the stupid wolf. She’d only come over one more time since then. I wished she sent me her address too, but I was stuck being the host. My tails twitched in annoyance. “I want to challenge her to take a shower for once.”
| YuriFan: Together? Together? Together?
| SakuraSimp: stay away from her New chapters come out on g.com first.
| FoxLover: Can I join?
| SadgeWolf: she indeed tries to hard to complete challenges
| Gambler: she uses exploits to break through my challenge D:
”Anyway, it’d be fun to do some collabs. I’m really looking forward to it.” Streaming by myself got kinda lonely, even with chat sitting here talking to me. I was just a social creature, though, so being locked up in my apartment got stale quick.
| SakuraSimp: better of alone tbh
| FoxLover: goodbye my love!
| YuriFan: Sweet dreams Sakura!
| ASMRWhen: enjoy your night”Mmm, thank you, my lovely little snacks.” My ears flicked as I read through the messages, and a gentle smile spread across my face. I whispered directly into Listener-San’s ear. “I love you~”
| FoxLover: KEEP TALKING IM CLOSE
| ASMRWhen: CLIPPED CLIPPED CLIPPED
| SakuraSimp: if you love us do another hour please!!!!
| SakuraSimp gifted 10 subs!
”Thank you for the gifted! Another hour, though?” I laughed softly. “Darling, if I stayed every time you asked, you’d never let me go.”
SakuraSimp… that guy was one of my most loyal fans. Showed up for every stream, and somehow stuck through them all the way. It was impressive considering even though I was tired after streaming for so long, and I had [GET ME PREGNANT!] to help cheat.
”I supposed I could give you something to remember me by as a little reward.” I shifted toward the mannequin’s ear, and my voice softened to a lover’s whisper. From when I tested it on Sable, I was more than aware of what it could do. “Be good boys and girls while I’m gone, okay? No getting into trouble without me.”
I waited for a moment, breathing down along the ear of Listener-San. Pulling back was just as important as pushing forward. The silence stretched for several seconds like we were alone in the world.
Finally, I leaned forward to press a kiss to the top of Listener-San’s forehead. I let it linger for a moment before pulling away. “I’ll be thinking about you tonight, darling. Mmmm… you can think about me too. I’ll allow it.”
| FoxLover: SHE GAVE US PERMISSION
| YuriFan: I’M NEVER RECOVERING FROM THIS
| ASMRWhen: don’t save me. I’m happy here.
”Goodnight, my lovely snacks.” My smile lingered for a moment longer before I ended the stream and leaned back into my chair. I double checked to make sure it was over before calling out lightly, “you can come out now.”
“Nicely done, Seren!” A light voice, and the reason I ended the stream so early, called out to me. It was as soft and gentle as a tinkling bell. “Way to rile them up!”
A small figure darted across the room, and dropped onto the top of the Listener-San. Her light pink wings fluttered lightly, and the fairy prompt made herself at home. Selene, Afterglow’s fairy and my guide to Realmwalking, smiled up at me. Her eyes sparkled as she took in my face.
I stretched a finger forward, and lightly patted the small fairy’s head. “Now, what did you say you were here for?”
”Before that, check this out!” The fairy clapped her hands, and a screen popped up in front of my eyes once more.
| Objectives
Afterglow’s Own
Make people orgasm. (0.5%) |”You’re making real progress!” Selene cheered happily. The fairy’s wings fluttered softly, casting a dim pink glow across my microphone.
I hadn’t checked it in awhile, but I definitely hadn’t been with that many people—oh, right. My thoughts drifted to something I saw on the forum the other night. It could be that? At least, assuming it counted as me making people cum.
Someone, probably ASMRWhen though I wasn’t sure, had been gathering clips to make an ASMR super cut. It was surprising how many people got off to that kind of thing. Since my Listener-San granted physical touch on top of my lovely voice, I was rapidly rising in the ASMR community.
It probably wouldn’t be long before I achieved that objective. It’d gone up .5% in about a month? That should be… 200 months till I’m done? No, quicker. The more I streamed, the more people would know me and the faster that number should climb. Listener-San was definitely more than paying off the point cost.
“I thought you couldn’t show up here.” I poked the fairy’s cheek. That was the whole point of me texting her. I was happy to see the little creature, though. Something about her… maybe because she came from Afterglow too? We hadn’t interacted much, but I really liked her.
“Hehe!” She pushed my finger away, and affectionately patted it. It seemed the feeling was mutual at least. “Normally, I can’t! There’s trouble in the realm, though…”
“Trouble?” My eyes narrowed, and a cool-calm washed over me. The low heat that usually pooled inside of me instantly vanished, and I leaned forward. “What kind of trouble?”
“The Realmwalker kind.” Selene’s wings fluttered, and she flew up onto my shoulder instead. One of my tails wrapped up to support her, which she promptly used as a backrest. “Grab your stuff! We’re going on an adventure!”
