"Okay. I wonder how much change it gave me"
She wonder that to herself before shrugging. Then she looks at the abilities that she buy on her system. To see it, she just poke the Abilities below her status.
From there, she saw a lot of abilities listed in it. She can also search what kind of ability she wants to learn.
But she only have a limited amount of FP so she can only afford a few of the skills in it.
There are abilities that only costs 1 FP but those are mundane abilities that only boosts her skills on specific topics like playing RPGs or playing FPS games.
The expensive abilities enables her to essentially ignore the laws of physics, or even distort reality itself.
"Hmm... well, I think I should make myself known as an FPS player. I think some Vtubers that I know on my past life were known because they kept playing a single genre of game"
She muttered that to herself before searching for abilities that helps her become good at FPS games.
The search function of her system is very convenient. She just needs to ask it what she wants and it will immediately display abilities that she needs and was also affordable for her current points.
Now, it listed abilities that she wanted to have. All of it are also cheap.
"Then, I will pick this and this and... this!"
So these are the abilities that she bought...
[Game : Basic FPS] 1 FP
[Game : Intermediate FPS] 5 FP
[Game : Advance FPS] 10 FP
Yes, she just focused everything on improving herself on FPS games.
She was planning to be known as an FPS player. And she wasn't confident at entertaining her audience by just talking whatever came to mind and she felt she is not appealing enough. So she felt that she just needs to be skilled at the game she is playing to become popular.
A skilled player will always have some followers when they are streaming. A Vtuber skilled player will gain more due to being rare from the Vtuber community.
"Well, this is how Nekomiya Hinata became popular to the Vtuber community in my past life. She was very good at what she is doing"
She muttered to herself, convincing herself of her own logic.
She was also right. Even in this world where the Vtuber community matured, skilled Vtuber gamers are still a rarity.
So even when she was not good at lip service or making herself interesting, she will have a high chance to become popular by being a skilled gamer.
"Now then, I should improve my 3D model. Also, I have a lot of money so I think I should also improve my streaming equipments... right, I'll just do that!"
She goes back to her computer again to order something online and also improve her 3D model while she was at it.
It took her a whole day making some changes on her 3D model, setting up her new equipments that she bought online, and also playing some offline FPS games before she sleeps.
And now, she woke up early in the morning. She washes herself first. After that she ate some breakfast (it's just an instant ramen noodles), before she goes to her computer and booted it up.
And then she looks at the prompt that she got when she woke up.

She was excited to see her uploaded videos first before she goes to her streaming for this day.
She looks at her videos. The one is her introductory video that she uploaded on June 5. Her second video is her live streaming her first FPS game on this world, which was just uploaded yesterday.
She saw that the view count of her introductory video was now at 100+. Her two hour live stream yesterday though have 400+ views now.
"Great. If one of my videos hit 500 view counts, I can complete one of my quest again!"
She said that to herself while feeling happy at this outcome.
It is just her third day as a Vtuber and it seems like she is accumulating some fans slowly.
"If this goes on, I will be able to get my goal to have the capability to sustain myself!"
With that sentence, she felt herself becoming fired up.
"Okay, I will do my best on my stream today!"
In a certain place from Shibuya, Japan.
"Hello everyone, this is Sakaguchi Kotomi desu!~~"
A guy was watching the live stream of a newbie Vtuber. He was one of the players that Kotomi played against yesterday on GOS (Global Offensive Squad). He was Guugure.
Along with him are some of his friends. They are currently on his house, on the foyer. They are watching Kotomi's stream in a flatscreen TV. His phone was connected on his flat screen TV so it was being shown on his TV.
"Hey Shinichi, this is the one you want to watch?"
"Just look. You'll be surprise how good she is"
Shinichi said that confidently to one of his friends who was looking at the stream with a dubious expression.
"Seriously? That chick is good?"
"Yeah. She stomps me on the game. She is skilled"
"Nah... maybe he's a guy?"
"Oh shut up! I heard her voice on my speaker!"
"Meh... there are a lot of voice changing apps out there. That's a trap"
Shinichi just gave up convincing his friends and just looks at his TV to watch.
"And now, I will try the zombie mode on GOS. Wish me luck~~" Kotomi said that with a cutesy tone.
The others are cringing when they are watching her.
"Ugh... can't we just watch Never War Tourney. I think our Shinigami team are fighting against SC Gaming" One of his friends complained as he deliberately yawned.
Never War is an RTS/RPG game for PC. On Earth, it can be considered as a copy of DotA.
The groups that he said awhile ago are the national group of Japan for Never War, the Shinigami. The other team is the strongest team of Never War players from UK, Shadow Core Gaming or SC Gaming.
Shinichi just ignored them as he continue to watch. His friends were clearly bored because they didn't prefer watching cute girls doing cute things.
But when the game started, they see Kotomi moving without any hesitation.
The zombie mode on GOS was like an adventure. The twenty players must find a way to escape the map. A swarm of zombies will block them off so they also need to survive as they find their way out. Some maps of this mode have a lot of obstacles so they need be careful while also being fast.
Kotomi said that this is her first time playing zombie mode. She also admits that this is her first time playing the map.
It can also be seen because she wasn't going on the front. She was moving besides her teammates, always looking at them.
But what was surprising are her accuracy and her speed.
Every time a zombie appears on her vision, she double taps then on the head using her assault rifle, without aiming at them. Also, she knew how to hold the line and cover for her allies.
She was mostly quiet on the whole play through. In fact, it was like every time she speaks, she always sounds so awkward. It's like she just remembered that she was on a live stream and she needs to say something for her audiences.
That kind of awkward speaking repeated on the whole game.
But if they ignored that, they can see how good she is at playing the game.
In fact, they prefer her when she was being quiet, which is most of the part of the video.
There are some idiot players who doesn't know what to do but she was pretty brave, telling this clueless players to follow her. She also repeatedly do this because this clueless players kept stopping and shooting the zombies on the distance.
She is helping the other players even though she was also one of the clueless players who needs the guidance of those who knows this map.
Some players who already knows what to do with this map kept scolding her and telling her to just leave them alone.
Though she kept making some awkward excuses like these player's might not be able to enjoy playing the game if they weren't guided for it.
Still, the game goes smoothly and after awhile, everyone except one player manages to finish the stage. That one player who didn't made it died because he steps on a landmine while his health was pretty low. That player already quits after dying on that.
"Nice game!~" Kotomi said in a happy tone.
While they are watching, Shinichi looks at his friends and saw them staring at the TV with a surprise expression. Their mouths agape.
"See? I told you!" Shinichi said with a smug look.
His friends stare at the TV for awhile before they finally reacted.
"What was that!?"
"Aimbot!? Did she have an aimbot!?"
"How many times did she flick? She moves too fast!"
"That can't be a girl. I refuse to believe that it was a girl!"
"Heh... calm down guys. Her stream is not done yet"
After that, they saw her play another map for zombie mode.
Then they saw her following the others who knows how the map works again. While doing that, she was pretty fast on moving her cross hair and shooting the zombies on the distance. Even the dog zombies that suddenly appeared when they are just turning on corner were killed by her.
Her Molotov throws were also accurate. Also, she have the greatest kill count out of any players in the room.
When they got to the final phase of the map, a boss occurs. It was a giant humanoid flesh abomination.
The weakness of this zombie boss is on it's back. It will attack anyone who was shooting it's front or it's head. Though if no one is shooting either that parts, it will change priorities to those who are shooting it's back.
So there should be someone who would deliberately become it's bait.
No other players wanted to do that of course. None other than the one they are watching, the newbie Vtuber Sakaguchi Kotomi.
Without any hesitation, she shoots the head of the giant while pulling back.
The final phase was inside a warehouse and there are some crates, metal pillars, and large ship containers on the surroundings. These obstacles were used to it's fullest by her while also giving her allies the convenient angle to shoot it's back and also pull the boss out of their range.
Though, while she is doing this, they can hear her muttering complaints about why there are no rolls or QTA (Quick Time Actions) functions on this game as goes around the crates.
As they watch her go around and play a dangerous game of tag to the boss, all of them are watching in trepidation whether she'll slip up or something.
The game looks very realistic due to the current technology of this world. That's why every time the boss gets near her, it looks like a jumps care to them. They always flinch every time she turns around and see the boss standing behind her.
They are surprised that she doesn't elicit any screams whenever that happens. She was strangely calm as she plays the game. Though her muttering still continues, this time she was complaining about the useless running physics of her character and how she can't immediately move back like just any other classic FPS.
Due to the advancement on the game industry on this world, most games now incorporate a lot of real physics inside the game. This is why classic players can't do the maneuvers that they were used to due to the characters being limited to do so (like killing some of their momentum before they can turn back or the animation for landing on the ground and standing up takes much longer now).
Kotomi doesn't know this but she was unintentionally making her grumbles louder, thus letting it be heard by her stream.
Though because of this, instead of being annoying, this became amusing to watch.
When the boss was on the red and his speed doubled on the screen, an accidental miracle occurs. Or more like, Kotomi unintentionally discovered an exploit.
When she goes on the corner where there is a metal pillar and a crate in between the near the distance and she moves just a bit to the right there, the boss suddenly makes a looping error. On screen, the boss was doing an attack animation and then suddenly cancelling it before turning to the side. When she shoots the boss it will look at her again and once again make an attack animation but will immediately cancel and look to the side.
This is happening because she was in range of it's attack. Though she won't be hit due to the obstacle blocking him so the AI makes a judgement and thought of circumnavigating the obstacle. But because she shoots it on the front and she was in range of it's attack, the AI's judgement will be overwritten and it will commence attacking her again before it will start making a judgement to circumnavigate the obstacle blocking it.
And Kotomi didn't let this chance go. She shoots the boss on the front one at a time to make it do an attack animation. Whenever it turns to the side, she will shoot it again so it will come back and try to attack her before cancelling it again midway.
Thus it only took a minute before the boss was killed.
While that is happening...
"What the hell!? That was funny!"
"Hahaha! The giant zombie became retarded!"
"This chick is amazing. I might also follow her"
"Hahaha... she said running physics are stupid... hahahaha!"
"Damn it Shinichi. This girl was amazing. She was like Yanjiro!"
"Nah! I think she was better than Yanjiro!" Shinichi rebuked while having a smirk on his face.
'As expected. This girl doesn't disappoint!' He thought while glancing at his friends who are still discussing about what happened on the game awhile ago.
After that map, Sakaguchi Kotomi said her farewells before she stop her streaming.
Shinichi took his smartphone and takes off it's connection to his TV. He then pocketed his smartphone before turning to his friends.
"So, what do you think now?"
"Yeah yeah, you win Shinichi. The girl rocks, blah blah blah"
One of his friend waves his hand in dismissal though he is still recalling how good the stream they watched awhile ago.
"So I was planning to play with her tomorrow. You guys wanna join too?"
So Shinichi truly wants to play with her. He just didn't manage to because he promised to his friends that they will hang out on his house in this day.
"Huh... well, it's Sunday tomorrow. We can free some time for us"
"Yeah... I wanna play with Sakaguchi-chan personally!"
Two of his friends said with a large grin on their faces.
"Cool. So, wanna watch her introductory video and her stream yesterday?"
"""""Of course"""""
Shinichi is just one of the few people who was in awe of Kotomi's skills. There are also others who are telling their friends about her.
Her name is slowly spreading in this Japan.
In the year 2035, June 7. Sakaguchi Kotomi's fandom started and her fans were slowly increasing.

Ayumi was just done doing her streaming. She was also in the middle of being embarrassed and burying her face in her pillows when those prompts appeared.
"Ugh... at least I didn't mess up while I am playing"
She muttered that while looking at her still booted up computer.
She wasn't worried about being called as a cheater. The game have a high security system to detect hackers and cheaters so even if it looks like she is using an aimbot, no one would even think about it because the game always looks out for that kind of thing.
In fact, the game scanned her computer if there are any applications, program, or script in one of her folders that will make her essentially play with the system of that game. It have that kind of security.
The owner of Global Offensive Squad, Halware, was a multi billionaire game company from US. And because it was a standalone online FPS game, all it's securities can only be seen inside it.
This means, the game wasn't being run by a client server. It was it's own server.
It wasn't a game hosted by Gears (the equivalent of Steam in this world).
"Anyway, I have a lot of money again. Also, it seems like my popularity is skyrocketing. I wonder why?"
She tilted her head in confusion. After that she just shrugged it off and continue with her plan.
"Well... it doesn't matter. I just need to be happy that I already got 1,000+ viewers in one of my videos. I should be celebrating on that!"
She monologues on herself while feeling happy.
After that, she ate all her pills and increases her stats by using most of her VP.

She picks those other skills because she can't help but noticed how dirty her room is now. Also, she doesn't know why but she was becoming conscious of her health now so she wants to cook some healthy food for herself and take care of her diet.
After all of this, she goes back to her computer and played some offline single player FPS games.
When it came to evening though, she can't help but felt that everything is easy to her.
Due to that, she stops playing and just goes back to her bed to sleep. She decided to clean her tomorrow.

Okay. I don't want to calculate anymore!
So next time, I won't display how much VP and FP she acquired. I'll just put some estimates whenever she got some VP or FP so when she uses it increase status or buy abilities, I can just use some estimates and just say "that's how much she got at that time".
Yeah... I know that's lazy writing. But I am not a calculator. Also, I am using a faulty tablet (because this is the only device where I can write stories) so it was pretty hard juggling between notepad and calculator on this device.
I hope even with this admission, you still have fun on this story for the future chapters.
Review if you like, helpful comments are welcome and thanks for reading this!~~
