Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

Chapter 3: First Step to Awakening



The Tower of Yxthar was not bound by the laws of a single country.

Its influence stretched across the world, forcing governments to cooperate in ways they never had before.

Nations that once stood divided came together under a single decree.

The Unified Pact Law.

Establishing strict regulations on who could enter the Tower and how they would be chosen.

The first and most crucial step was the Resonance Test...

Adam and his father had just parked in the lot of the Guild of Stream Hunters, the towering facility responsible for conducting the test.

As they stepped out of the car, Adam's eyes swept over the massive glass building.

Its sleek exterior reflecting the bright sunlight.

He had been here before...

Fifteen years ago.

And now, he was back... this time with all his memories intact.

The Resonance Test…

He had already gone through it once before.

The process was simple.

Potential candidates would place their hand on a Stream Crystal, a glowing artifact capable of detecting an individual's Streaming Resonance.

If the crystal reacted, it meant they were compatible with the Multiversal Livestreaming System.

If not, their journey as a Stream Hunter ended before it even began...

Adam followed his father through the entrance, stepping into the grand reception hall.

Large screens lined the walls, broadcasting live footage of famous Stream Hunters fighting inside the Tower.

Some battled monstrous creatures, while others explored ancient ruins, uncovering artifacts long lost to time.

Their Stream Codenames flashed across the displays.

Infernal Phoenix – A warrior engulfed in crimson flames. 

Seeker of Truth – A robed figure deciphering a glowing relic. 

Nightwalker – A shadowy figure slipping through the battlefield unnoticed.

These names were more than just aliases.

Every Stream Hunter who awakened was given a Unique Stream Codename, a name that would define them across all multiversal livestreams.

And along with it came something even more important.

A personalized ability.

No two Stream Hunters shared the same power.

Each ability was shaped by the user's mental, physical, and emotional attributes.

Some wielded fire, others bent space, and a rare few could even manipulate time itself.

Adam clenched his fists slightly.

I wonder if I'll receive the same abilities as I did before traveling back in time…

His mind drifted to his past self, to the name he had once carried.

Crimson Mage.

That was the title he had been given after his awakening.

His ability, Body Blood Magic, had been a terrifying force on the battlefield.

It allowed him to connect with living beings through their bloodstreams.

A skill that made him an exceptional leader.

Through this connection, he could influence the flow of blood in both allies and enemies.

He could force an opponent's own blood to turn against them, stopping their movements, cutting off circulation, or even making them explode from the inside.

But it wasn't just a weapon.

His ability also allowed him to heal.

By restoring lost blood and coagulating wounds, he had saved countless lives during his time inside the Tower.

It was because of this that he had often been chosen as a team captain.

Adam exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of anticipation settle over him.

After registering for a waiting ticket, he was guided by one of the workers through the designated waiting area.

The space was nothing special... just rows of chairs lined up neatly, a few vending machines sitting in the corner, and a digital board displaying the numbers of those called for testing.

The sounds of conversation filled the air as candidates sat around, waiting for their turn.

Adam glanced at the ticket in his hand. F-42.

Then, the waiting began.

Four long, uneventful hours passed.

He spent most of that time staring at the ceiling, tracing invisible patterns on its dull, tiled surface.

Around him, other candidates whispered excitedly about what kind of abilities they hoped to awaken.

Some were already celebrating, discussing their newfound powers with shining eyes.

Adam, however, remained silent.

He had no reason to speculate.

He already knew what he was supposed to awaken.

A speaker suddenly announced across the waiting area.

"Testing Ticket F-42, please proceed to the Resonance Test."

Finally...

Standing up, he stretched his stiff limbs before heading toward the testing chamber.

The automatic doors slid open with a soft hiss, revealing a brightly lit room.

At its center stood a large, crystalline structure... the Stream Crystal.

A man in a crisp white lab coat stood beside the crystal, his posture straight and composed.

He glanced up from his clipboard as Adam entered, adjusting his glasses with a practiced motion before giving a small nod of acknowledgment.

"Welcome to the Resonance Testing Chamber."

He began, his tone calm yet authoritative.

"I am Dr. Elias Grayson, a certified Resonance Analyst for the Guild of Stream Hunters. My role is to ensure that all candidates undergo a proper and accurate assessment before taking their first step into the Tower of Yxthar."

He gestured toward the crystal at the center of the room, its deep blue core pulsing faintly.

"This is the Stream Crystal, an artifact refined and standardized through decades of research and multiversal cooperation. It serves as the primary medium for measuring an individual's affinity with the Streaming Resonance."

"When you make contact with the crystal, it will analyze your biological structure, mental resilience, and spiritual signature to determine whether you possess the qualifications to awaken."

Dr. Grayson's gaze was steady, his explanation methodical.

"Should you possess the necessary compatibility, the crystal will trigger an awakening sequence. This will result in two immediate outcomes : the assignment of a Stream Codename, which will serve as your identity across all multiversal livestreams, and the manifestation of a Personalized Ability.

"Which is a power unique to you, shaped by your mental, emotional, and physiological attributes. No two Stream Hunters will ever awaken identical abilities, as each power is deeply tied to an individual's very essence."

He paused briefly before continuing, his voice unwavering.

"The process is painless, though some candidates have reported sensations ranging from warmth to pressure, depending on the nature of their awakening. Should any irregularities occur, the system will automatically log the anomaly, and we will conduct further analysis to ensure stability. Once the awakening process is complete, you will receive further instructions on how to proceed."

Dr. Grayson made a slight motion with his hand, indicating the crystal.

"Now then, step forward and place your palm firmly against the crystal's surface. Remain still and allow the resonance to take effect. Do you have any questions before we proceed?"

Adam gave a wordless nod and approached the crystal.

The moment he neared, its glow seemed to pulse in anticipation, the deep blue light shimmering like ripples across water.

He exhaled slowly, steadying himself, then pressed his palm against the cool, smooth surface.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then...

A golden glow surged from within the crystal, spreading outward in rhythmic pulses.

[You have been awakened.]

[You are now a Stream Hunter.]

A familiar sense of relief washed over Adam. As expected, he had awakened.

[Setting personalized identification... Setting Unique Stream Codename...]

The crystal's glow intensified.

[Stream Codename and Personalized Ability have been confirmed.]

[Obtained Codename: Crimson Mage]

[Obtained Personalized Ability: Body Blood Magic]

Adam nearly sighed in relief.

It was the same as before.

His ability to control blood, to form connections through the bloodstream, to heal and command in battle... it had all remained unchanged.

But then-

[Error! Error!]

His breath hitched.

'What?'

His brows furrowed as the golden glow flickered erratically.

He had never seen an error notification before. This was definitely not normal.

[Interference detected.]

The Stream Crystal began to tremble beneath his hand.

A sharp, almost electric sensation crawled up his arm, and for the first time since returning to the past, a sliver of unease crept into his mind.

[Rewriting...]

[Your existence has been connected to a very distant universe.]

[Resetting.]

The glow surrounding the crystal shifted turning from gold to something far more ancient, a deep crimson laced with threads of black.

Adam felt something unseen coil around him, as if countless eyes from an unfathomable distance were now watching.

[Obtained Codename: The Chosen Conduit]

[Abilities have been changed!]

The glow abruptly vanished.

Silence.
