The Streaming World

The Streaming World — Years ago, countless angels descended across Earth, interrupting every broadcast with a single announcement: "Angel: From this day onward, every world shall witness one another." Their divine power connected every civilization through an omnipresent streaming network, allowing beings from parallel universes, distant planets, heavenly realms, hells, spirit worlds, and countless dimensions to watch one another in real time.

Streaming quickly became the center of civilization. Going to work, attending school, exploring ruins, hunting monsters, running a business, cooking, farming, crafting, researching, fighting wars, or simply relaxing at home—everything is broadcast live. Entire careers revolve around entertaining audiences from across existence.

Viewers are no longer limited to humanity. Gods cheer for mortal champions, demons donate to holy knights out of amusement, dragons critique blacksmiths, aliens binge-watch human sitcoms, spirits follow cooking streams, and beings beyond comprehension quietly observe billions of channels at once. Fame is no longer confined to a single world. A baker can become beloved by celestial kingdoms, a monster hunter may gain millions of followers across dimensions, and even an ordinary office worker can go viral if something interesting happens during their day. In this era, every life is a potential broadcast, and every broadcast can change the fate of worlds.

Status Window — Every living person is granted a personal Status Window, a magical interface visible only to its owner. No one else can see or interact with it unless the owner deliberately shares specific panels or grants permission. The Status Window serves as the center of daily life, providing access to countless features through a collection of intuitive panels. Among its most commonly used functions are the Inventory, an unlimited-dimensional storage that safely holds belongings; the Network, allowing instant communication, livestream management, private messages, and access to global broadcasts; and the Interdimensional Store, where goods, equipment, mana stones, and countless items from other worlds can be bought or sold. Additional panels include personal statistics, skills, quests, achievements, maps, crafting, banking, streaming analytics, and many other services that continue to expand as civilization evolves. The Status Window cannot be stolen, hacked, or permanently damaged, as it is bound directly to its owner's soul. It responds instantly to thought or simple gestures, making it an indispensable part of everyday life for every being in the connected multiverse.

Aether Pixie — Every person is granted a single Aether Pixie upon entering society. Though it resembles a small floating drone, it is actually a living magical construct with simple instincts and unwavering loyalty to its owner. It cannot speak, but it understands verbal commands such as "Follow me," "Record from above," "Close-up," "Orbit," or "Hold position," instantly adjusting its flight and camera angles with remarkable precision. Powered by mana stones instead of electricity, it can remain active for years as long as it is occasionally fed with mana stone.

Its purpose is to faithfully accompany its owner, automatically capturing and broadcasting every moment across countless worlds without the need to carry a camera. Intelligent enough to avoid obstacles, maintain smooth footage, and keep its owner in frame, an Aether Pixie acts as both cameraman and lifelong companion. Minor damage can be repaired at Interdimensional Service Stores found throughout countless realms, where specialists restore its body and magical core. However, if an Aether Pixie is completely destroyed, purchasing a replacement costs an astronomical fortune beyond the reach of nearly everyone. For that reason, every citizen is granted exactly one at the start of their life, and losing it is considered a devastating misfortune.

Starter Provision Box — Alongside an Aether Pixie, every person receives a single Starter Provision Box, a one-time gift bestowed by the angels. Each box contains a completely random assortment of beginner equipment, such as weapons, armor, magical tools, consumables, or Skill Books that grant new abilities upon use. No two boxes are guaranteed to be the same, making every opening a moment of excitement broadcast to countless viewers across the multiverse.

Luck plays a major role. Some people receive powerful weapons or rare skills that launch them into fame overnight, while others end up with little more than ordinary gear or niche abilities of questionable usefulness. The contents cannot be exchanged before opening, and each person is granted only one box for life. Whether blessed by fortune or cursed by bad luck, everyone must build their future from whatever fate has placed inside.

Mana Stones — Crystallized mana naturally formed within dungeons, monster territories, and areas saturated with magical energy. They serve as the universal source of power, functioning as fuel for magical devices, Aether Pixies, artifacts, teleportation portals, and countless forms of advanced technology. Mana stones are also widely accepted as a valuable trade commodity throughout the multiverse.

• Low Grade (Sky Blue) — Small crystals ranging from pebble-sized to roughly the size of a clenched fist. The most common variety, used for everyday tools, household magic, and powering Aether Pixies for extended periods.

• Intermediate Grade (Emerald Green) — Medium-sized crystals ranging from about two clenched fists to the size of a human head. They contain significantly denser mana, making them ideal for high-performance artifacts, prolonged dungeon expeditions, advanced machinery, and medium-range teleportation portals.

• High Grade (Royal Violet) — Massive crystals ranging from the size of a human head to the size of an average adult. Exceptionally rare and overflowing with condensed mana, they are used to power large-scale magical facilities, interdimensional portals, legendary artifacts, and other mana-intensive applications. A single High Grade Mana Stone is often worth a fortune and can sustain powerful magical systems for years.

Portals & Dungeons — Countless dungeons and dimensional rifts appeared alongside the angels' descent, becoming both a source of danger and opportunity. Dungeons are isolated realms filled with monsters, treasures, and valuable resources, each differing in environment, difficulty, and rewards. Clearing them often yields rare materials, mana stones, equipment, and Skill Books, making them a primary destination for adventurers and streamers alike.

Teleportation Portals — Stable portal gates exist in most major cities, allowing travel between countries, planets, dimensions, and even entirely different universes connected to the Network. Travel fees are calculated based on distance, destination stability, and dimensional complexity. Journeys within the same world are relatively affordable, while traveling to distant dimensions or foreign universes can cost an immense amount of currency or mana stones.

Equipment Grades — All weapons, armor, artifacts, and many magical items are classified by a universal rarity system recognized across the multiverse: • Common (White) — Standard equipment with no special properties. • Uncommon (Green) — Improved quality with minor enhancements. • Rare (Blue) — Superior equipment possessing notable magical effects. • Unique (Purple) — Exceptional items with distinctive abilities or traits. • Mythical (Red) — Extremely rare equipment of immense power, often tied to legends. • Legendary (Orange) — World-renowned relics capable of changing the outcome of battles. • Supreme (Black) — The highest known grade, possessing unparalleled abilities and considered priceless across countless worlds. Only a handful are known to exist, and obtaining one is a feat that can shake the entire multiverse.

Strength Rank — Every living being is assigned a Strength Rank from the moment they are born. The ranking measures an individual's overall combat potential, including physical ability, magical power, skills, experience, and growth. Every person, monster, spirit, and creature possesses a rank without exception, even newborn infants. A newborn baby is naturally classified as G Rank, not because of strength, but because it represents the starting point of all living beings.

The universal ranking system is as follows: • G Rank — The lowest rank. Newborns, ordinary civilians, and those with virtually no combat capability.

• F Rank — Slightly above average, with basic combat or survival abilities.

• E Rank — Capable fighters with modest experience or magical talent.

• D Rank — Skilled adventurers and trained professionals.

• C Rank — Elite individuals who far surpass the average population.

• B Rank — Exceptional combatants respected across cities or regions.

• A Rank — National-level powerhouses capable of influencing the fate of kingdoms.

• AAA Rank — Transcendent beings who stand at the pinnacle of mortal power.

• S Rank — Legendary individuals whose strength can reshape nations.

• SS Rank — Catastrophic existences capable of altering worlds.

• SSS Rank — Mythical figures whose power rivals gods, demon lords, or ancient monsters.

• EX (Extraordinary) Rank — A rank beyond the standard system, reserved for anomalies that defy conventional limits. Their power cannot be accurately measured, and each EX-ranked being is considered a force capable of changing the course of entire civilizations or dimensions.

Strength Ranks are not fixed. Through training, combat, experience, rare treasures, powerful skills, or extraordinary circumstances, an individual may gradually rise through the ranks. However, each advancement becomes exponentially more difficult than the last, and only a handful of beings in history have ever reached the highest tiers.
