Chapter Title: Just Wanna Do Tower Climb...?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yura had anticipated that today's stream would be pretty tough.
Lexica had caused a brief commotion, so there were bound to be malicious viewers latching onto that.
It's always easier to tear down someone who messed up than to praise someone who did well.
That's why she'd specifically warned her managers to keep a close eye on the chat.
『Yuha Yuha Yuha Yuha Yuha』
『League of Worlds today, right? League of Worlds? League of Worlds? League of Worlds?』
『Finally a regular stream!』
『Missed these casual chats because of the tournament...』
『So what's on the menu today?』
『Please League of Worlds League of Worlds League of Worlds League of Worlds League of Worlds League of Worlds』
『When's Purge Day?』
But surprisingly, the stream chat was perfectly fine.
'What? Why is it so clean?'
Shouldn't this be the moment when all sorts of trolls and toxic viewers swarm in?
It made her earlier tension seem pointless.
She'd even prepared contingency plans for potential attacks, which turned out to be unnecessary worry.
Yura hadn't fully grasped the situation yet, but this was another achievement by the Academy, the Armchair Advisors, and the community.
Their relentless hunts had wiped out the very organizations that would terrorize Yura's streams.
All that remained were her regular viewers and new ones who'd grown interested.
『Is this that fake stream?』
Of course, some viewers mentioned it.
(Viewer banned for 24 hours.)
The managers deleted it in an instant.
Thanks to them, the stream stayed in even better shape than Yura had expected.
It was arguably the cleanest chat of her recent streams.
However, as the saying goes, for every gain, there's a loss.
She'd dodged the Lexica attacks, but...
『Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day Purge Day』
『Heard the news, came over. This place is about to become lawless territory soon?』
『This stream's lifespan is running out too... It was fun while it lasted, Yura!』
『When can we expect the stream to explode? Urgent, tell us quick』
『Chat's a total mess lolololololol』
She had to pay the price for Purge Day.
Not that Yura wanted it.
But she was the one who'd hosted the tournament.
One.
『Where's the Armchair Advisor!』
『Bring out the Armchair Advisor! Armchair Advisor! Armchair Advisor! Armchair Advisor!』
『Purge Day... this is the Armchair Advisor's grace too』
Not all the aggro was on Yura.
"TAS mentions are banned."
(Viewer banned for 10 minutes.)
(Viewer banned for 10 minutes.)
"Ah. This one's out on three strikes."
(Viewer banned for 24 hours.)
It might even be a bit unfair.
Yura took a deep breath as she watched the chat surging wildly.
She had to address Purge Day at least once anyway.
"Purge Day..."
In the corner of her vision, she saw the message window from her chat with Third Life.
"I'll repost details later, but for now, it's set for next week around then. Probably late afternoon or early morning."
Not that it would happen, but Yura hoped all viewers would be in dreamland by then.
"Alright, let's start today's stream."
Click.
Today's content from Yura was...
"League of Worlds Exploration Mode."
League of Worlds had PVP mode and Tower Climb mode, but also Exploration Mode.
『Huh?????』
『Exploration Mode????????』
『Yura doing Exploration Mode?????』
『Is this for real?』
『Welcome to Exploration Mode, good to see you』
『Exploration Mode is the roots of League of Worlds』
『Fr lolololololol』
Exploration Mode was simple.
Just wandering around the open world doing whatever.
Like an RPG.
But Yura rarely did it.
And now she was announcing she'd do it today?
"Tower Climb.... tch.... Gotta do Tower Climb.... tch...."
Deep down, Yura was screaming for Tower Climb.
Other viewers felt the same, trying to persuade her.
『Why isn't the Armchair Advisor showing? Stop her someone』
『Tower Climb! We wanna see Tower Climb!』
『Yura no that's not it for real』
『Armchair Advisor! Armchair Advisor! Come out!』
『Someone donate more』
But Yura's resolve was firm.
[No. We're doing Exploration Mode.]
A resolute voice slipped from her elegantly parted lips.
[Honestly, we've done plenty of PVP and Tower Climb already. Time for some different content.]
She always mixed informal and formal speech, which she thought about every time.
Anyway, trying something new today didn't seem like a bad idea.
Don't you get those days sometimes?
Days when you just want to try something new.
Today felt exactly like that.
Mint chocolate cherry banana chips—a bad precedent—flashed in her mind, but this was different, so it'd be fine.
With that in mind, a donation flew in.
[It's not 'whatever,' the stream's always my call... Wait. This donation name looks familiar...? Third Life...?]
『What?』
『For real?』
『Dude what are you doing there???』
『????』
Hmm...
What's with that reaction?
It's not just the chat.
Yura had her mouth slightly agape in shock too.
Is it that surprising?
[Impersonation...?]
Impersonation after one donation?
Why am I being treated so strangely?
I said it was fine for real?
I sent Yura off to Exploration Mode instead of Tower Climb, without shedding a tear.
Go on and do it already.
The community's named user, Armchair Advisor.... no, Third Life.
The community members who'd witnessed his misdeeds in real-time or through posts were thrown into chaos.
'It's really Third Life.... What's with the wind change?'
You can't help but be shocked when someone suddenly does something out of character.
After triple-checking it was real, Yura slowly entered Exploration Mode. She proceeded at a snail's pace, considering scenarios like him changing his mind midway or potential terror attacks five times over.
Exploration Mode allowed various settings.
Difficulty levels from Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Slightly Hard, Hard, Very Hard, etc.
You could even set the era or main content to your liking.
That's why League of Worlds was a god game. What other game let you customize everything to your desires?
There were limits, but the freedom was on another level.
"Obviously rolling random for this."
Yura spun the randomizer to add unpredictability.
Manually setting Exploration Mode killed the fun.
Some streamers ran it fully random.
Yura did the same.
And...
"Oh. Medieval era."
A safe medieval era came up.
『Medieval again』
『Random's always like that』
『Show the odds League of Worlds waaa』
『Wait what's with Yura's outfit? lololol』
No matter how well-made League of Worlds was, backgrounds had a spin cycle. But detailed events were newly generated, so it didn't feel repetitive.
Right after the character settled into Exploration Mode, an NPC approached.
Yura responded without much thought.
A quest already?
Well, Exploration Mode without quests would feel lacking.
The moment she heard the quest details, Yura froze.
No.
This is the dragon slayer quest.
Why is this here...?
