Chapter 179 Viral
As the sun's brilliant rays illuminated the morning sky, the world awakened for another day.
At the window sill, a cat basked in the sun and stretched out lazily, enjoying the warmth on its fur.
Thud—someone dropped a heavy object, startling the cat.
The cat's tail fluffed up, and its ears perked up in alertness. He then shot forward and ran out of the room like a missile.
"Shit!" Olympos, a handsome, yellow-haired young man, picked up the broken pieces of the vase and tossed them to the garbage bin.
"Son, what was that?" His mother's concerned voice came from downstairs.
"Nothing!" Olympos screamed and slammed the door shut.
The reason for his frustration was on the monitor screen, showing the front page of ForeverTube.
"I haven't gotten a single feature in the past week!" Olympos screamed and pulled his hair in frustration.
His most popular videos had over 100 million viewers, but recently his newer videos barely received ten million viewers because of the lack of features.
His popularity had shown a scary drop.
"PinkDragon, that bitch got another feature!" Olympos sat down on the chair and saw that one of her videos about her recent collaboration with a popular artist had gone viral.
"Ugh, I have already dropped two ranks this week alone in ForeverStream. What should I do?"
He scratched his hair and checked the rest of the featured videos, but to his surprise, there was an unfamiliar name, and the name of the video truly shocked him.
"Huh, Ambrose? The Method to Acquire an Upgraded Class?"
His eyes widened like saucers. "That bastard! If I knew that video about that would get a feature, I would have done it!"
With a seething expression, he clicked on Ambrose's channel, and to his surprise, there was only one video!
That enraged him.
"Only one video and already featured?!" Olympos screamed, and when he saw the subscriber count, he felt like punching through a wall. "F-fucking lucky bastard!"
After calming down his rising anger, he looked at the video name and showed a sinister smile.
"So what? He is still beneath me. I'll make the same video and prove that I am better!"
...
At the table of a fancy restaurant, PinkDragon was sitting with her friends.
Their beauty and exquisite fashion style attracted the attention of everyone around them.
"Congratulations on the success of your video!" A beautiful woman with a beauty mark under her left eye said with a smile. "You received another feature!"
"I couldn't believe you managed to get the pop star Yi-Yun to collaborate with you!" A young woman with clear, blue eyes and a face full of excitement exclaimed.
PinkDragon smiled while enjoying a sip of her latte.
The fourth person at the table, a middle-aged man with graying hair, chuckled and said, "It definitely wasn't an easy collaboration, but it worked extremely well."
He was PinkDragon's manager and was responsible for making the collaboration happen.
"Who else has features?" PinkDragon asked while putting the latte down. "Did that bitch, Sapphire, get any features too?"
"No, she didn't." The woman with the beauty mark said with a smile. "StarTired, Perfumer, MercuryHalo, and a few others received their first features, but one person stood out the most."
"Who?" PinkDragon asked while keeping her eyes peeled on her latte.
"A person named Ambrose." The woman said. "It was his first video, like ever. From what I have seen in his comment section, he is also rather infamous, it seems."
"Infamous? I have never heard of that name before." PinkDragon asked curiously.
"Apparently, he is an enemy of Zahhak." The woman said and chuckled. "Since he has disappeared, many thought Zahhak managed to hunt him down.
"However, it seems that he is doing better than ever."
"Zahhak..." The manager had also heard about them.
"Oh." PinkDragon didn't seem interested. "Just a lucky person who managed to catch the attention of a person in Forever Company.
"He won't last in this competitive world."
"Of course he lacks charisma, looks, and talent." The clear-eyed young woman giggled. "However, is it true what he said in the video? That it's possible to upgrade the class."
"Yes." PinkDragon said. "You need an upgrade class token, which I have tried to find. No one is selling it either."
"I can look for you if you want." The manager rubbed his hands with a sheepish smile.
PinkDragon glanced at him from the side and nodded. "Very well."
The manager pulled out his phone and began calling his associates.
"What are you planning on doing today?" Her friends asked.
PinkDragon glanced at them and briefly said. "Apparently, Warhaven has been discovered. I am going to stream my discovery of that place."
With that, she finished drinking her latte and then left the restaurant with her friends to start their shopping spree.
...
Jesse returned to his room from his morning jogging session and pressed the start button on the PC while moving to the bathroom.
As the PC powered up, he took a shower, and after ten minutes, he left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
He grabbed some comfy clothes, put them on, and walked over to the ornate, draped window.
He pushed the heavy drapes to the side and took in the sights of a beautiful landscape with towering mountains that seemed capable of dominating the skies.
The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a warm golden glow over the entire scene.
After enjoying the relaxing view, he grabbed a water bottle from the bedside table, downed it through his parched throat, and then sat down on his gaming chair.
'I wonder how my video has fared.' Jesse thought, then put the water bottle down on the desk and began controlling the mouse.
Soon, he appeared on ForeverTube's website, and without glancing at the featured videos, he moved to his own channel.
He anxiously clicked on the analytics tab to see the number of views and comments.
The tab seemed to take a while to load, as it only showed a white screen for a moment.
'Come on, I thought this network speed was supposed to be great.' Jesse anxiously tapped his finger against the mouse.
However, soon the load finished, showing the analytics tab with only one video.
"Finally, let's see..."
He leaned forward and squinted his eyes.
"Huh, what... is this?"
Jesse's squinted eyes widened in disbelief.

'The video has gone viral!' Jesse exclaimed in shock.
He touched the top of his head in shock as he realized the impact his video had made.
'Wait, even if it had gone viral, how is it possible to gain so many viewers in a span of one night?'
After a while of thinking, he realized how.
With a shaky hand, he entered the main page of ForeverTube and checked the featured videos.
And, as he expected, his video was there in golden letters with the beautiful thumbnail adorning it.
'Unbelievable...' Jesse laughed out of shock and slight nervousness.
Over twelve million people had watched him talk and seen his face.
He then went back to the analytics tab and saw the somewhat mediocre like ratio.
He sighed, as this was to be expected.
'Most of the ones who gave the video dislike didn't believe me.' Jesse thought it was bound to happen, but it still stung a little.
'Well, let's see what the comments say.'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
