The cozy bookstore's aroma of espresso and impending doom clung to Alex's white buttoned shirt as they glared at the livestream flickering above the "Plot Twist Pastries" display.
@Storyweaver_VTuber:
Anime avatar glitching between cute girl and eldritch horror
Chat: "OMG SENPAI NOTICED ME!!!!" "Is this lore?" "SUB GOAL: 10k bits to unlock Bad Ending DLC!"
Alex's Beta Reader's Glasses tagged every viewer as a narrative node:
- @EdgeLord4Ever: 47% chance of demanding tragic backstory.
- @SlowBurnShipper:Will spam "KISS NYX" until banned.
- @Beta_Reader_Prime:ERROR: ADMIN DETECTED.
"He's farming engagement to manifest," Kairo growled, his scar syncing to the chat's toxic heartbeat. "Every comment's a stitch in his new body."
Nyx smashed a pastry labeled [Red Herring Croissant]. Pixels exploded into Morse code: "Dox the stream. Leak his OOC secrets."
System Alert:
[New Quest: "Cancel the Cancelled"]
Objective: Sabotage the livestream before Storyweaver's rebirth completes. Tools: Your trauma, 2nd-hand WiFi, and this sick burn playlist.

Alex hijacked the stream's title:
"Q&A with the REAL Storyweaver! (He's a Incel Crybaby)"
@AlexVeyra_Writes (Verified Disaster)
"Ask me anything! First question: Why's your lore weaker than Walmart-brand Tolkien?"
The chat exploded.
Storyweaver_VTuber (Glitching):
"BANNED. REPORTED. DELETED—"
Alex's Countermove:
- Deployed [Heart-Eater Debuff] via reply chain, weaponizing cringe:
"Remember when you tried 'enemies to lovers' with a literal spreadsheet? EMBARRASSING."
Viewer stats plummeted. The VTuber avatar pixelated, revealing Callum's exhausted face.
Kairo's Insight:
"He's vulnerable! Nyx—scramble his analytics!"
Nyx's glitched hands tore into the stream's code, spawning AI-generated thirst traps of the Storyweaver crying over 1-star reviews.

The bookstore melted into a high school auditorium. Veyra lounged onstage, mic in hand:
"Welcome to The Reboot auditions! Looking for… expendable side characters."
Behind her, a shadowy figure—Scion—adjusted his protagonist halo.
The System dinged: [New DM from @Beta_Reader_Prime]: "Your character development's… improving. Don't get cocky."
Alex's glasses flickered: [New Death Flag: Chapter 190]. They smirked. "Bet I can monetize that."
