The loading screen started to y in Breeze''s channel as notifications were sent to his followers.


    "It''s here! Hehehe, he finally ys a new game!"


    One such person was a man in his twenties. He had a perm ck hair and sses to hide the dark circle around his eyes. His pale skin stood out in his room andcked light, only lit with many hologram screens hovering around, making him look like a vampire.


    "Damn Breeze! This guy is so good that he ate all my money!"


    Without wasting a second, he opened the stream page and watched the loading screen change into the game screen. A grin appeared on his face.


    "Hehe, let''s see how you survive this game."


    In fact, this guy told other viewers to vote for this particr game because he wanted to see Breeze suffer.


    There was no need to guess this person''s identity as he was someone insignificant among the viewers.


    "Hello, guys! Hahaha, let''s y some survival game!"


    Breeze greeted them excitedly, as usual. And just like any other stream, this person immediately brought up his keyboard and donated whileughing like a madman.


    "Hahahahaha!"


    [BloodSucker has donated 200 diamonds!]


    [Hahahaha! Suffer in this game, Breeze! I will look forward to it. I hope you won''t run from the future''s bet!]


    ***


    ''This guy never learns.'' Max grinned as he saw the donation message. It was from his loyal viewers and the second highest donator in the ranking, BloodSucker.


    Because he had such a high profile, he remembered him and even gave him a nickname that everyone used to call him.


    "I will have to thank you for your donation in advance, sucker."


    — No mercy, lol


    — Money pocket donated at the start of the game!


    — Poor sucker. Breeze only sees him as a walking wallet.


    — Good to be you, sucker. At least Breeze remembers your existence


    — Shut up! And I am BloodSucker, a vampire! Not just sucker!


    Max crossed his arms and nodded, "Yeah, yeah. I understand that." He said, "Anyway, I think I need to exin what game I will y today. I don''t know much, but at least I will read the introduction of the game."


    V-Shelter Survival was an online game published by Biozone Entertainment a year ago. It managed to gain poprity early on and broke a million concurrent viewers in just a few days.


    Due to a mainstream genre but new gamey and graphics, many people were curious and took a liking to the game''s system.


    The main reason why people loved the game was because they could y with their friends, make teams, and even help each other. When one team becamerge, they could even create a city andmunity to talk with other people.


    "There is a rank of the shelter andmunity, making it a bigpetitive game. We can also join a server or merge them to have a big-scale war. But, we can also enjoy survival and action in this game as we have those Infected as enemies."


    Looting and building. That was the base of V-Shelter Survival.


    An active hunger and thirst bar forced the yers to constantly seek resources and think of the best location to build their shelter.


    The server created by a yer was private, but they could make it public and get people to join through a special invite code. Of course, the generated world in each server was also unique, as there were more than a billion unique seeds avable.


    Even if the world looked simr, the resources'' location might be different.


    Furthermore, there were also special ces called Ruins where huge amounts of resources were hiding. yers who could find it would be considered lucky.


    "Now, I will create my own server and y the game. It''s only my first time ying, so I don''t know anything about good shelter locations or where the loot is."


    — Newbie Breeze is here again


    — Good shelter location, eh? Worry not, as I, ShelterMaster, shall help you


    — A private server, huh? Will you consider opening your server to us, Breeze?


    — I hope you die from the Infected! I want to see you die!


    — Aah! Don''t get bitten, Breeze!


    Reading the chat, Max smiled confidently.


    "I won''t die or be bitten. Also, I don''t think I will open this server to the public. However, I will consider joining other people''s servers or creating a public server for ourmunity."


    That way, he could y with them. Although, he could imagine his viewers trying to kill him if they met, especially BloodSucker.


    — A shame


    — Understood, that''s a good idea


    — A content server and a publicmunity server, sound good


    — If you need anything, visit my server! I have a level 10 shelter already!


    — Stay in hell''s path!!


    ''I also want to y online with them to build better rtionship. But I need to know the mechanism of this game first. Besides, amunity server is rather expensive as it has no yer limit like a normal one.''


    "Now, without further ado, let''s start!"


    Saying so, he pressed the start button and entered the game. There was no difficulty in this game to make it a little bit more realistic and fair.


    Max''s avatar looked simr to his real life, as he didn''t do any tweaking on it. Most streamers who had revealed their faces did the same to make the viewers remember them more easily.


    His character appeared with a blue light in the middle of the destroyed city. He wore a simple brown suit, covered in dirt and blood, and tactical pants.


    On his back was a backpack that served as a limited inventory with two breads and one water bottle. There was also a water purifier and a simple knife for self-defense.


    Those were the beginner sets that everyone got when they first started V-Shelter Survival.


    "Oooh!" Max eximed in wonder as he looked around the area, "It''s really different from Knight''s Journey. I am in a destroyed civilization!"


    — Somehow, he fits the area pretty well. Is Breeze supposed to live in that ce? Damn!


    — The setting was a destroyed civilization from 20 years ago. All technology was still far behind what we have today, but my dad said that era was called Modern instead of Advanced.


    — It''s a destroyed modern world. I read about it in a history book. It said our technology had evolved faster after 2025!


    — V-Shelter Survival took an IF route if our technology destroyed us. It''s a really daring concept


    — Failed Nutritional Supplement bes a virus that makes humans mad. That''s a genius idea.


    — Even the items we looted came from the modern world. First-time yers might not be able to know what they can be used for!


    — You guys are so knowledgeable that it''s scary


    — Geeks!


    Modern world… Those words made Max stop looking around in amazement and observe his surroundings.


    Skyscrapers made from concrete and ss. Some familiar cars stopped by the sides of the road, destroyed beyond saving but recognizable nheless.


    The dark gray asphalt in ce of the lighter one he always saw in Lime City.


    Without a doubt, it was simr to the modern world he knew.


    ''But this is not the Earth from my previous life. It could be a different timeline… Well, that''s not too important.''


    Yes, that was unfortunate, but not that important.


    One thing was sure.


    ''I can use my knowledge to know what items I loot and how to use them. Well, if it is any use.''


    Once again, he had the advantage that the viewers didn''t know. Even without looking at V-Shelter''smunity forum, Max was confident he could understand the items without any problem.


    "I appreciate your help, guys. Now, where should I go first? I guess I need to find a ce to build a shelter before it''s gone dark."


    Having said that, he looked around while reading the chat. Most said to go to the North or West, while some told him to find a roof to look around first.


    Deciding on where to go ording to chat''s suggestion, he nodded and began moving.
