Black Witch Log-in

16. impromptu attack

Cliper, a job where a content creator creates a video by taking from another video creator with shortened changes and duration. It is still debated that such actions are allowed or not, but most users of streaming applications assume that the actions of the clients are allowed during obtaining permission from the original video owner.

Originally clipping was mutually beneficial between the original creative and the cliper. The creator will get more famous while the cliper will get what he wants. But the symbiosis will not last long, all changed when the creator no longer needs the services of the cliper because he feels already quite famous.

I felt that over and over again, somehow how many little creators I raised with the clips I made. But once they get millions of followers everything is no longer so friendly.

“Seratus million! One hundred million you said!.” I angrily yelled at someone on the phone. He is a gamer that I raise through my videos. At the beginning we worked together he never talked about money, but when his followers reached hundreds of thousands he started to put tariffs. Until finally his followers broke through one million, he also raised an unreasonable baris.

“Forget it, we've just done this!.” last decision I can take because it's impossible to spend that much money on a video that won't necessarily go viral.

Sitting in front of the computer, I looked up at the video I had been editing for two days. The result of the hard work that was forced to end up in the trash because of the greed of someone who said I was his friend.

“Omongkosong, what friends. He is just like the others, the glass forgets on the skin.” I have repeatedly experienced this. Being on footing so that others could reach higher ground, all of that felt annoying.

But I can't just walk away from this job because this is all I can do.

“After graduating from college I thought I would work in a famous animation studio, but fate is not as good as it was to me.” a life story that is so normal, maybe everyone has experienced it. “Now I am just a parasite that can only survive by depending on others .”

Finding other streamers that can be invited to work with is very difficult at this time. Most streamers who have a large following already get their own contracts.

Just the remaining new streamers, choosing them like buying a cat in a sack, I can't reduce the growth of a new player channel in the future.

If it doesn't work out then I'm the one who loses because I spent time on something that doesn't mean anything, but if I'm lucky it could be a jackpot I get.

“So he's a new member of AFK studio, it can be seen how desperate they are to hire new players. I will not be surprised if the Avatar player is the mother of one of the members.”

I'm watching a new live player who will be the fifth member of the AFK studio. He looked ordinary at the beginning. Climbing a steep cliff is common for everyone to do, but it is different if the climb is more than an hour.

“Hem, maybe he's a cliff climber.” Thought.

Since there was nothing interesting I intended to change the channel, but I immediately stopped when I saw something unusual.

The village gatekeeper looked so respectful to that player, it made me ask about what he had previously done. From the comments of other viewers, I was advised to see a replay of the previous video.

There was only one video on the channel's playlist, after seeing it made me even more clueless.

“How is this possible, is he really a veteran?.” I said while watching a video replay where the girl was fighting in the woods at night. Dozens of zombies and skeletons attacked him, but without fear the woman defeated all the monsters that came to her with the monster weapon itself.

“No, not even veterans can possibly be this strong if starting from scratch. Then could he be a cheater?.” various speculations appeared in my head regarding the new player.

But then I realized that the chances of him being a cheater were much less plausible. Two years ago the Minvers game was present, tens of millions of people played the game every day. During that time there is also no hacker who is able to commit fraud in the game.

“If not a cheater, then only one possibility is left.” in an instant I again remembered if the real world is also not much different from the virtual world. There are certain humans who have more power than others, those who stand at the top of the real world.

I think in the virtual world everyone has an equal chance of becoming the strongest, but it seems like all of that is just a dream in broad daylight. In the end those who are stronger at the beginning will always be the winners of the people who work hard.

_____________________________________________

Each player received the same notification, they cheered happily in the middle of the city that received an impromptu attack.

“What is an event?.”

“No prior notice. It's very sudden.”

“Soon call all guild members to Batavia city, we will harvest all Fame points!.”

“This is a golden opportunity to raise the status of our guild, all are spirit!.”

In an instant the city of Batavia became a battlefield, the Jayakarta royal troops were assisted by players to counterattack. Meanwhile cries for help came from npc trapped in the middle of the battle.

“So what should we do?.” asked Hilda, just got out of the union building but things outside have become so chaotic. All the AFK guild members including Emira stared at their leader Hanna, hoping for the girl to provide direction.

But Hanna actually disappeared, she ran quickly to the middle of the battlefield, “Dangerous!.” Hanna shouted loudly at a little girl who was overshadowed by a fireball gliding right above her.

Realizing a fireball was about to hit her, the little girl did not rush to dodge but instead remained standing in her place crying. “Oh, it's like a cliche scene in a soap opera.” movie Emira said while enjoying her grilled fish.

Hanna jumped at the little girl then lunged at her at the last moment. A huge explosion occurred, flames blazing around the explosion. Hilda, Emil and Setyo seem worried about Hanna's situation, but Emira still seems calm because she knows that Hanna survived.

The three of them only felt relieved after seeing Hanna be fine with the girl he saved. But it didn't last long as some enemy forces were already targeting Hanna.

Seeing that Emira threw away the bones of the fish she ate. While taking a rusty sword from the inventory, then he said “Let's enliven the party.”
