City H.
In a rented apartment within a certain residential complex.
The rapid, incessant clatter of keyboard keys echoed without pause.
Lin Chen was fully focused on editing a video. After two straight days of editing, his mental exhaustion was starting to show.
Half an hour later.
"Finally done," Lin Chen sighed deeply, slumping into his chair and rubbing his temples.
He pushed his weary body up and walked to the window, picking up a cigarette from the table and placing it between his lips.
Flick.
A yellowish flame quickly lit the cigarette.
Exhale.
Amid the swirling smoke, Lin Chen let out a breath and gazed at the world outside the window—familiar yet strange.
"Ugh, everyone else who transmigrates gets a golden finger. Why don't I have one?"
Indeed, Lin Chen was a transmigrator.
A year ago, he had crossed over into this world.
In his previous life, the 24/7 work schedule had been exhausting. After returning home, he fell asleep on the toilet.
When he woke up again, he was utterly bewildered—an unfamiliar ceiling, an unfamiliar room.
Then, a flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into his mind, forcing him to understand his current situation.
But he didn't react too strongly. Having read countless novels about transmigration in his past life, he quickly calmed down.
It took him a month to gain a basic understanding of this world.
The technological level here was similar to that of his previous world. He was still in Dragon Country, but this world was plagued by many monsters.
These monsters had appeared twenty years ago, and their numbers were vast. Humanity had suffered heavy losses that day, but fortunately, many countries formed an alliance and pushed the monsters back to the borders.
The last ten years had been relatively stable, and "Beast Masters" had emerged in the world.
Now, Lin Chen was a second-year high school student. More importantly, he was an orphan, and the monthly relief funds he received were far from enough.
Becoming a Beast Master was out of the question—he could barely support himself, let alone a beast.
So, he fell back on his old trade. In his previous life, Lin Chen had been a content creator with over a hundred thousand followers.
Unfortunately, the types of videos that were hugely popular in his previous life—memes, animated fight scenes, and the like—were only mildly successful in this world. Even animations were scarce, nothing compared to his previous life.
"Please, this one has to blow up. Otherwise, I'll really be stuck eating instant noodles every month," Lin Chen muttered, clasping his hands together as he prepared to upload the video.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations! You have been selected by the Multiverse Video Platform.]
[Do you agree to join the Multiverse Video Platform?]
[You will become the sole creator on the Multiverse Video Platform.]
[Here, as long as your videos are sufficiently impressive, they will be distributed to every corner of the myriad worlds. At the same time, astonishing rewards await you.]
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice in his head, Lin Chen was momentarily stunned, but elation quickly followed.
"Golden finger, you've finally arrived!"
His heart raced, his hands trembled, and even the last half of his Hua cigarette fell onto his lap.
A year—a whole year! System, do you have any idea how he'd spent these months?!
"System, how do I publish videos on the Multiverse Video Platform?" Lin Chen quickly calmed down. As long as he used the system wisely, he could completely change his current situation!
[You only need to visualize the scenes in your mind, add background music and subtitles, and a Multiverse Video will be created.]
"It's that simple?"
Lin Chen was delighted by the system's explanation. In his previous life, he had watched countless animations and movies, many of which contained incredibly hype scenes!
[Do you agree to join the Multiverse Video Platform?]
[Agree to join.]
[Multiverse Video Platform is loading...]
[Multiverse Video Platform loading complete...]
[Multiverse Video System officially activated.]
[Congratulations! You are the sole creator on the Multiverse Video Platform.]
[Through video distribution, view counts, and rewards, you will receive prizes.]
"System, is there a newcomer's gift pack?" Lin Chen asked urgently.
A newcomer's gift pack was standard for transmigrators.
System: "..."
[Opening newcomer's gift pack...]
[Congratulations to the creator for obtaining: Fragment of the Azure Dragon's Soul, 5 million reward funds.]
"This solves my urgent needs. No more worrying about money. But what is this Fragment of the Azure Dragon's Soul?"
[Extract now?]
"Not for now."
After some thought, Lin Chen decided to hold off for the moment. The most important thing now was to create videos, which would allow him to gain even more.
"What should I edit first?" Lin Chen looked up, deep in thought.
Since he was creating videos for the multiverse, they had to be high quality—preferably something explosive right from the start.
"Got it!"
Suddenly, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
The battle scenes from various animated worlds were all incredibly hype!
Not only were they hype, but there were also many tragic, iconic moments!
So, he began creating the video in his mind.
Two hours later.
"Done!"
Lin Chen patted his sore shoulders. The video was finished, and all that was left was to upload it.
[Upload!]
[Video review time: within 2 hours]
[Once approved, the video will be distributed to the myriad worlds]
[Please wait patiently]
Hearing the system's message, Lin Chen felt reassured. As the excitement faded, drowsiness set in. With mixed feelings of hope and anxiety, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
It was at this moment that the system's voice sounded again.
[Congratulations!]
[Review approved!]
[Rankings in no particular order]
[Top 10 Saviors of the Worlds No. 10]
[Fairy Tail World: Burn, Natsu!]
[Successfully distributed to the myriad worlds!]
