Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills-Chapter 44: The Second Floor
[Would you like to enter the second floor?]
Adam glanced towards the system as he equipped the Predator's Maw.
He did not really hesitate as there was nothing else he needed to do on the first floor.
'Yes.'
[Confirmation has been made.]
[Transporting...]
Suddenly, the colors around Adam started to saturate and distort.
The land beneath him twisted and reformed as the sound of space twisting itself came into Adam's ears.
Then, there was silence.
[Welcome to the Second Floor.]
A wave of notifications flooded the screen.
[All viewers of 'The Chosen Conduit' have been rewarded 3x their donated coins.]
[Bird Hunter shows happiness!]
[Experienced Old Knight is elated!]
[Frog Eater is happy with his wealth!]
[Prankster of Kingdoms mocks Frog Eater saying that he's still poor compared to him.]
[Chris_Okamoto is confused why the other viewers are so happy.]
The chat exploded with excitement.
The sudden increase in rewards had taken the audience by surprise.
[NLE_immortal has donated 15 coins.]
[Prankster of Kingdoms has donated 1,000 coins.]
[Experienced Old Knight praises the streamer!]
[Mads_1401]: I'm surprised no one has ever defeated a [True Body] boss monster yet...
[Frog Eater]: You strange, usernamed viewers truly are ignorant… Information about [True Body] statuses is blocked from us by the Tower. It's illegal to share that kind of thing. Luckily, our streamer is the first to defeat one, so the ban has been slightly lifted.
[5th Style Sword Master]: This streamer hides a lot of secrets, it seems.
[Arken_Knight says it makes it more entertaining.]
[Prankster of Kingdoms agrees.]
Adam smiled slightly at their speculations.
'It's not like it matters whether you guys know about my strangeness or not… You won't be able to leak it after discovering it anyway.'
It was a fair system function.
The Tower's streaming mechanics made it so that viewers could only watch for a single day before needing to subscribe.
Once subscribed, they were locked in.
They couldn't switch to another Stream Hunter's channel unless the streamer died.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Some one-time viewers could stay for a day and expose him, but it was unlikely a viewer would give up someone as promising as him.
Although it was arrogant to claim that, it was true.
Adam turned his attention back to the screen as a new prompt appeared.
[Welcome to the Second Floor.]
[2nd Floor – The War-Torn Fields]
Description:
[A realm where war never ceases. The undead and orcs fight in an endless cycle, their hatred bound by blood and curses. The battlefield is littered with shattered weapons, broken armor, and the restless dead. Hunters must tread carefully, for to step onto this field is to be dragged into the war itself.]
Story – The Cursed Battlefield
[Centuries ago, the orcs clashed with the humans of an ancient kingdom. In a desperate act, the humans used forbidden magic, cursing the battlefield and dooming all who fell to rise again as the undead. Even now, the orcs refuse to retreat, battling a war with no end in sight.]
[Objective] : Hunters must choose a faction—Orcs or Undead—and fight for control of the battlefield.
[Common Monsters] : Undead Warriors, Orc Berserkers, War Beasts.
[Boss Monster] : The Bone Tyrant, Lord Varos – Commands the undead army from The Black Spire.
[Game Mechanics]
➤ Faction Choice is Permanent – Hunters cannot switch sides after choosing.
➤ Faction War Points – Performing well earns faction war points, faction war points can be converted into coins.
➤ Siege Battles – Large-scale wars break out at specific intervals, where players must push the frontlines.
Adam barely had time to take it all in before a new system notification appeared.
[Choose Your Allegiance.]
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
[The war does not wait for spectators. To survive here, you must take a side.]
[1] – Pledge allegiance to the Orcs. (Fight alongside the last honorable warriors of this war, resisting the tide of undeath.)
[2] – Pledge allegiance to the Undead. (Join the deathless army and claim dominion over the battlefield.)
Adam exhaled sharply, rolling his shoulders as he took in the prompt before him.
"Finally." He muttered.
Unlike the first floor, which allowed for free exploration and survival-based challenges, the second floor was structured around warfare.
It forced players to choose a faction before they could truly participate in its events.
The moment they selected a side, they would be bound to it for the duration of the floor's cycle.
The rules were simple.
The war was an ongoing struggle between two opposing forces...
Orcs and Undead.
Whichever faction emerged victorious in the upcoming grand battle would be granted passage to the third floor, while the losers would be forced to remain here until the floor reset.
That meant waiting for an entirely new cycle of war to begin, grinding through battles, and struggling against overwhelming odds until they could earn another chance at victory.
For Stream Hunters, this was both an opportunity and a curse.
Those who chose wisely could ascend faster, gaining a significant advantage over their peers.
Those who chose poorly could find themselves trapped in a losing battle for weeks, or even months, depending on how long the cycle dragged on.
Naturally, the chat had erupted with opinions.
[Frog Eater] : Pick the Undead! It's better!
[Experienced Old Knight] : Orcs. Honor before death.
[Chris_Okamoto wonders about the benefits of each side]
[5th Style Sword Master] : Tactically speaking, wouldn't the Undead faction be better? They don't feel pain, and they can resurrect.
[Prankster of Kingdoms says the decision must be made wisely.]
Adam frowned slightly as he skimmed through the messages.
As much as he hated to admit it, the war was rigged from the start.
The balance of power heavily favored the Undead faction.
Unlike the Orcs, who relied on tactics, strength, and sheer resilience, the Undead had an overwhelming advantage.
They could resurrect indefinitely, replenish their numbers effortlessly, and sustain losses that would cripple any ordinary army.
Worse yet, their forces were led by the floor's Boss Monster...
The Bone Tyrant, Lord Varos who commanded their legions from The Black Spire at the heart of the battlefield.
That alone made the choice obvious.
Most Stream Hunters, after realizing the that the boss monster was part of the undead faciton, aligned themselves with the Undead.
The statistics were staggering... 90% of all players on the second floor chose the Undead faction simply because it guaranteed a higher survival rate and a fast track to the third floor.
[A viewer from the war-born universe has entered your stream]
[A viewer from the universe of ice has entered your stream]
[A viewer from the...]
New viewers flooded in, their presence marked by the system's notifications.
Adam's chat continued to buzz with more activity than before.
[Hazardous Combatant] : Choose the orc side! Only cowards choose to be in the undead faction!
[Forest Scarecrow says hello to the streamer.]
[Disciple of Ice shows curiosity towards the streamer]
[Frog Eater tells you not to listen to the new viewers.]
[5th Style Sword Master] : Though it is shameful, your life is more important. Joining the undead faction would truly be easier.
Deciding to probe for more information, Adam spoke.
"Hello, new viewers. Mind telling me which faction is currently winning?"
He had memories of this floor from his past life, but back then, he hadn't entered it until two months after his initial climb.
That meant he had no idea how the war had progressed in this timeline.
A response came almost immediately.
[Disciple of Ice] : The Undead faction has already captured more than half of the Orc territories. The war should be won within two weeks… You're lucky. You can just join the Undead and do nothing.
