Before rlin continued into the active part of the city, he stopped under the cover of a run down building and decided now would be a good ti to start his stream.
He had done the initial setup, which linked his streaming account to the ga, but now he had to go through and ss around with the various options before he could start.
"System stream, settings." rlin chanted a system command, causing a window to appear before him.
┌───────────────────
Stream Title: ...
Stream Tags: ...
Stream Description: ...
Save VOD: Yes
> Advanced Options
└───────────────────
The floating keyboard appeared alongside the window, allowing rlin to type in the various boxes.
"Stream title... Do I go for sothing quirky or just keep it simple." He muttered to himself. He thought about it for a mont before just typing in the na of the ga in the title while sighing to himself. "I’m the only one streaming in this category, it’s not like I need to clickbait people into watching."
With that mindset, he rushed through stream tags and description, and he didn’t really bother with any of the advanced settings.
He saved the preset before closing the window and chanting another system command. "System stream, cara settings."
Another window appeared before him, alongside a floating ethereal classic movie cara. The window was full of settings specifically for the cara, and the options could be further expanded on. It was sothing that people could spend hours customising, but rlin didn’t feel like wasting ti on getting it perfect.
’How did I do this again...’ rlin thought to himself as he scanned through the various settings, but the large cara kept drawing his attention away. ’Ok, but first of all, you’re way too clunky.’
rlin started by ssing with the cara’s appearance. He set it to the smallest option he could, which was a floating eyeball, and then set the transparency so it was almost invisible to him. He made sure the setting for being invisible to everyone else was on before moving on to the next part, controls.
He began flicking on features such as dynamic positioning, and most of the cinematic options, he focused on the options that would give him cooler shots and smoother movents, and after about five minutes he was satisfied.
"Good enough." rlin remarked as he swiped the cara controls away and began chanting yet another system command. "System stream, start."
He received a notification that his stream would beco live in ten seconds, and another window appeared before him, although this one floated around his peripheral vision until rlin tried interacting with it. It was the chat window, which allowed him to talk with his stream, as well as see how many viewers he had.
rlin didn’t have any viewers currently, which was understandable as the stream had just started, but he expected to have at least a couple in the next few minutes. Whether it was Quinn and Holly, any of his account’s followers, or even people who followed the streaming page of the ga. He was almost guaranteed to have a small group of viewers in no ti at all.
Once the stream was live, rlin stepped out into the rain and began making his way out of the city towards the farmland and road that lead to galopolis.
As he stepped out into the barley fields, his stream had received its first ssage.

rlin waited for a mont, wondering if any more ssages would co through.
"What, that’s it?" rlin muttered.
┌───────────────────
[MOD] Quinntessential: Oh, you can talk to us through the ga? That’s cool.
[MOD] Atlas: Hey, we’re here!
[MOD] Atlas: Oh look at you, you’re drenched.
[MOD] Atlas: Cool character though.
└───────────────────
It seed Holly had arrived not long after.
┌───────────────────
[MOD] Quinntessential: We’re just in a ranked ga right now.
[MOD] Quinntessential: Give us like twenty minutes, we’re stomping these guys.
[MOD] Quinntessential: Don’t end stream.
[MOD] Atlas: Be right back.
└───────────────────
Those two had vanished as quickly as they appeared. rlin continued his journey back towards galopolis, summoning his ball of light as he stepped out onto the road.
A few more comnts started popping up, most of which were wondering if this was actually gaplay of New Genesis, and not just soone who was streaming in the wrong category again. And it seed they were pleasantly surprised, as they began posting tons of questions about the ga in chat, and the chat was flooded with notifications of people following.
He began answering as many questions as he could while he followed the road through the farmland, the rolling hills and then into the forest. He was keeping himself entertained as he walked, but a notification appeared beside the chat window.
「"Susan_Dilly" has gifted 6500 tokens with the ssage: "Do a backflip."」
rlin fulfilled the donation’s request, which seed to impress chat. But rlin was even more surprised at the massive donation straight off the bat. He couldn’t help but feel sad when he thought back to how much he struggled trying to get big as a strear in the previous tiline.
"And thank you very much for the gift. I appreciate it!" He said with a genuine smile.
The walk towards the city was long, and although he had chat to talk to, they seed to be getting bored just watching him walk around in the night. Fortunately the rain had stopped, which was sothing positive at least.
Giving the viewers a little bit of a show, he slipped into the forest for a few minutes and showcased combat with the first monster he found, which happened to be a gnoll that was alone.
rlin put on a show for his audience, choosing to be more flashy and dynamic with his movents than the efficient killer he usually was.
Being flashy ca natural to him, as he spent quite a long ti as an entertainer. The only downside was that it cut down his killing speed, but it was still much faster than those who fought with fighting assistance on.
His long flowing white hair and the cara’s cinematic options made for quite a spectacle alongside his movents, or at least he believed they did, based on the ssages he saw in chat.
"So yeah, that was combat." rlin said, "But that little bit of entertainnt has to be all for now. I need to get to the next city."
rlin ran back towards the road and continued on his way to the next city. But as he traversed the road, he was t with an odd sight.
rlin could see several lights moving as a group in the distance, and as he continued down the road, he saw that it was a wagon with a few guards walking alongside it.
’Why on earth is a wagon travelling this late at night. Everyone knows how dangerous it is...’ rlin thought to himself.
But as the wagon got closer, rlin could identify one of the people within the wagon, and a few other faces that seed sowhat familiar. The person he identified was Baron Doolt himself, and the facial expression he held was full of anxiety.
Unfortunately rlin was now close enough for the group to see his face too, and Baron Doolt’s face distorted when he locked eyes on rlin, soone he would have seen around the rangers guild and near Callisto.
It seed the guards weren’t fond of his presence either, as they had their hands resting on their weapons as the wagon made its way past him.
rlin caught a glimpse of the coloured nas of everyone in the group, and it seed they all had positive karma, including Doolt, surprisingly enough. rlin realised he couldn’t do anything to the group without being severely crippled by punishnts.
His chat was full of people spamming that he should have robbed them, so rlin took the ti to explain how bad killing NPCs was, and a few of the punishnts that arose from doing such a thing.
Holly and Quinn appeared in chat once more as rlin could finally see galopolis in the distance.
┌───────────────────
[MOD] Quinntessential: Have you actually been walking this whole ti?
[MOD] Quinntessential: No mounts?
└───────────────────
"I could buy a horse, but they’re pretty expensive." rlin muttered, not bothering to explain mounts to chat, as it was a feature that nobody should know of just yet.
┌───────────────────
[MOD] Quinntessential: So one of the greatest technological accomplishnts of our ti is a hyper realistic walking simulator.
└───────────────────
"To an extent, yeah." rlin laughed at Quinn’s remark.
┌───────────────────
[MOD] Atlas: Do you have any magic yet?
[MOD] Atlas: Oh, Maria ntioned sothing about plants, what was that about?
└───────────────────
"You an this?" rlin asked as three vines escaped his arm and started twirling around in the air, which caused his chat to erupt in surprise once more. His chat was so hectic that he couldn’t see any of his friends ssages anymore, even if they were highlighted due to their mod status, they just flew past within seconds.
"I’ll show it off in combat later, lets get in the city first." rlin sighed, retracting his vines before he continued towards the city.
He made his way past the rchants association and walked past several of the ruins, including the mysterious door fra, which wasn’t glowing.
rlin looked up at the sky, only to see that the moon wasn’t even remotely close to being whole.
"Damn, waning crescent, almost a new moon." He mumbled to himself.
Much to rlin’s disappointnt, the old man he t that day was nowhere to be found tonight either. Although he remained hopeful that he’d eventually find him and maybe get a hint on what the key could possibly be, or even what the language on the door fra was.
