Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Oradge did not start a live stream. He merely uploaded a couple of videos.

However, the reason he recorded the highest views was...

[If anyone has information about the Kaiju appearing in the video, or if there are any witnesses, contact us anytime. Depending on the information, we will pay a reward that amounts to anywhere from 100 million to 10 billion Points.]

10 billion Points?

With just 100 Points, one could afford a meal that even nobles couldn't dream of. But 10 billion Points?

It was an amount that would allow one to live without worrying about food for a lifetime.

However, the 10 billion Points were quickly forgotten from people's minds. Because in the video...

ㄴdafok is that?

ㄴthe definition of Kaiju that I know is...

ㄴnah fam that ain't cap, that's a cosmic kaiju LOL

ㄴisn't the thing that just appeared planet-sized?

ㄴwhat the? are those the ones that apparently remained unscathed even after nuclear explosions?

ㄴuhhh...? is that... planet... splitting?

ㄴAre all those swarming things... Kaiju?

ㄴthis is what they call Kaiju?

ㄴDid you check the playback speed at the bottom? LOL

ㄴthe fastest(?) one is at X0.0001 speed LOL

ㄴfr? lol

ㄴuhhh?

ㄴlol what looked like teleportation just now... was actually slowed down playback lol

ㄴthanks for the sweet view.

Various cosmic Kaiju were introduced in the video. From Kaiju the size of mountains spewing tentacles from their entire body to ultra-large Kaiju chewing up planets.

All sorts of Kaiju were captured in the video.

In fact, from the users' perspective, it was no different from something straight out of mythology.

However, what was even more impressive was...

ㄴuhhh?

ㄴthe humans fighting against such things are...

ㄴare they really the humans like us?

ㄴis it all just due to their equipment?

ㄴcognitive dissonance ON

ㄴis that sword technique that just sliced up the Kaiju actually possible to implement?

ㄴi doubt even a hero with a holy sword would be like that.

ㄴIf just one of their soldiers came to our world, they could probably conquer it easily lol

ㄴohhhh... so that wasn't just fireworks all this time?

ㄴare all those things that were just shown spaceships...?

ㄴI wonder how many tens of thousands of people are on each of those.

ㄴ....

Contrary to Karlstein's expectations, the attention went in a completely unexpected direction. The focus was on the side defeating the Kaiju rather than the Kaiju themselves.

ㄴCosmic Mythical Battle.avi

ㄴAh. I enjoyed the movie. burp Now show us your actual reality.

ㄴWake up and stop dreaming something so absurd. O’ Hero.

ㄴeven Ragnarok wouldn't be like this LMAOO

ㄴjust what kind of battles have you been fighting?

ㄴjust who are you to be catching such Kaiju as if they were mice...

ㄴso to be the Oradge, one needs to be at least this level...

ㄴ(TheLichIsRich): ....

ㄴHmm. This one is known as the Greatest Under Heaven in Jianghu, but... I shall just pass on this one.

ㄴgreatest under heaven < God-tier SF God-tier Soldier 1

ㄴLOL

The video ended with a glimpse of the Oradge.

ㄴ?

ㄴdid he just blow up a moon?

ㄴLOLOL Wow! I never thought I'd see the sight of the moon being destroyed with my own eyes.

ㄴIt’s hard to even imagine...

ㄴwhat do we even call that. should we call that a throwing spear... or magic... or something else entirely...

ㄴMy brain has been wiped completely clean.

ㄴFrom now on, I shall absolutely never mess with the Oradge.

As the Oradge, wearing full-body armor with a red cape, threw a spear towards the sky, a celestial body akin to a full moon shattered into pieces. Then, the video ended.

No matter how much one might want to believe it's fake, anyone capable of an iota of rational thought would know better.

Why would he go to such lengths to create a fake?

And it was not just once or twice; every time rumors about the Oradge spread, it was always something in line with this. By now, even if one didn’t want to believe it, they had no choice but to accept it.

Beyond comparison.

Beyond the heavens.

Untouchable.

It was impossible to contain the Oradge with any modifier. He was not someone who could be defined by the likes of them.

The second video was relatively easier to watch. Though that was only possible because it was in slow motion.

ㄴwhat are those mobs?

ㄴthey don't seem to be Kaiju, i think? they're too weak.

ㄴbe for fucking real. they only seem that way compared to the previous video, but those are monsters too. they're standing perfectly fine in the middle of space.

ㄴSilver flames? So if we find information about those guys, we get the reward money plus extra compensation from the Oradge?

ㄴThat's right.

ㄴBreaking news) Fat Cap Artist declares he will blow up a continent

ㄴbrrr im so scared

ㄴdoes anyone know them?

ㄴthey say dimensional travel is possible for them and they can gigantize?

ㄴIf it's like that, I'd believe it even if they said they were gods lol

ㄴnah but come on, how would ordinary people ever encounter such beings? LOL

ㄴDunno. maybe there are some transcendents out there.

ㄴI'm a transcendent and I could insta-kill one of those Kaiju from the first video in 0.1 seconds. tho it’s only possible because its me, of course lol

ㄴHmm... I wonder if I could compete against those bastards from the second video?

ㄴOld man. Did you check the playback speed?

ㄴAh...

ㄴMore like you’d end up competing with the planet on who would be split in half faster. okok?

It was shocking in many ways.

It was so majestic, so overwhelming that it reached the point of feeling unreal.

ㄴfuck this life

ㄴWhat have I been doing all this time?

ㄴi’m gonna quit being an emperor. this self-loathing is too much ffs

ㄴLOL It's a different world anyway, right? Cheer up.

ㄴidk idgaf.

ㄴThe swordsmanship of that lady from the second video is no ordinary swordsmanship.

ㄴisn't it just flash flash swoosh swoosh?

ㄴHoho. We all see different things from our own positions.

And so, under Karlstein's intentions, the streaming service was successfully launched.

***

Karma Points were pouring in abundantly.

"Iyaaa... How much is all this?"

The Gacha Store was quite profitable, but commission business was truly the best. No matter how many items one sold, it could’t compare to platform business. Of course, the market wasn't that simple, and it was possible because he had released enough volume to vitalize the entire market, but...

For now, he could only marvel at the rapidly accumulating Points.

-I will now collect the budget for research expenses this time.

"No!"

At Aria's single remark, the vast amount of Karma Points that had been endlessly accumulating disappeared in a flash, like a salary merely brushing past one's bank account.

Agh. My goodness. A man's pride comes from his wallet, you know!

-Do you have any complaints?

"..."

Complaints... I don’t have any. Probably.

-I will deduct the support funds for Moderators as per your orders, advance payments for goods, server maintenance costs, labor costs for various content development, distribution costs. Oh, of course, including my labor costs.

Keuk!

What's the Point of working hard! It's leaking from everywhere!

-We spent especially a lot this time to advance the update. But I have still put in plenty of pocket money for you.

Karlstein’s eyes wavered, rapidly checking his balance.

About 10 billion Points remained.

W-Well, this is still something, right?

At any rate, it was still 10 billion.

Considering his spending habits, it might be considered small, but it was actually an amount ordinary people couldn't even dream of.

For reference, he himself had no intention of streaming to gather Points.

It would be undignified.

The Emperor of the Galactic Empire and the Administrator of the Integrated Dimensional Community doing reactions for donations?

He absolutely couldn't bear the thought.

"What should I do with this?"

Some might wonder. Pocket money for an Emperor? And the Emperor of the Galactic Empire at that?

But that was just because they didn't understand.

The meaning of pocket money was not at all trivial. This amount meant that he could use it anywhere without interference. It was his own emergency fund that no one would meddle with no matter how trivial the use!

Usually, when he was with Aria, he tended to be conscious of her gaze. Even if she didn’t explicitly show it or nag...

When he received Aria's glances that seemed to say, 'While someone is trying to save every penny to run the empire, someone else is...', his conscience would start to ache.

Of course, for things he deemed absolutely necessary, he could spend freely without such distinctions as 'pocket money', but...

As they say…

[Oh my? Handsome Oppa! Thank you for the donation! You're the best!]

feeling pleased

[Ah! To the mysterious donor who sent the donation! I'll use it well to feed our Happy something delicious!]

feeling pleased

[What? You want me to do more gacha even though I'm completely broke? Ah! Another donation this big! As expected, gacha can't be stopped!]

feeling pleased

[Holy shit! Big Bro! Hello? Did you send the donation by mistake? Is this for real? Or is it a hidden camera prank? The digits themselves are completely different! This is crazy! We'll make you the chairman of our stream!!]

feeling pleased

Originally, humans seeked happiness by spending time and resources on seemingly useless things.

But he couldn’t squander the national treasury on such things, can he? Ordinarily, in such cases, there should be a separate department managing the Emperor's private assets, but...

-What are you saying, Your Majesty!! That is absolutely unacceptable!

-The Galactic Empire is already yours, Your Majesty. Why would you need such distinctions when you can simply use everything as you please!

-Rather, how about taking all the empire's assets and then granting us a budget, Your Majesty?

-There are rumors that Your Majesty has been feeling jaded with official duties recently...!

It was once scrapped due to fierce opposition from the Ministers. Though the logic behind their opposition was somewhat strange.

Well, it's awkward to refuse it when they're saying it's already all mine.

Was this what it meant when people say infinite freedom came with infinite responsibility?

That was why he couldn't help but be even more conscious of others' gazes.

If they had at least told him not to spend on such things, he would have risen up and fought against it.

-Oh! As expected, everything the great Emperor does must have meaning!

-Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

-If Your Majesty commands, we would jump into a fire pit carrying firewood!

-....

However, there were too many overzealous Ministers.

His collection full of nostalgic allure wasn't created for nothing either.

Would things like K-Chicken and K-Hanwoo really just be made out of nowhere? No, of course not.

They were merely the results of his direct investment and research to recreate the foods he liked in his past life. The same goes for 'Growth-Type Space Battleships' and 'Various Concepts of Weapon Suits'.

They might not be cost-effective, but there were works filled with his stubbornness and idea of nostalgic romance.

"Sigh."

Karlstein let out a short sigh.

In fact, there was another reason why he felt the need for a secret fund.

Let’s say he spends money in reality. What would happen? Setting aside the fact that it's impossible to operate funds without Aria knowing, everyone from the Minister of Economy to the lowest manager in the Budget Execution Department would know every detail of his spending.

It was horrifying. It was no different from being dismembered alive.

[Breaking News: The Emperor's woman is? His Great Imperial Majesty has made a huge donation to a streamer’s strip show...]

Such a thing must never happen.

"No. Absolutely not."

Of course, even if it were discovered, there wouldn't be any imperial citizens bold enough to criticize or denounce him, but still...

Forced into humiliation! Forced into shame!

Yes, he had no intention of volunteering to be the subject of some contrived humiliation porn.

Moreover, in the Community…

"Ahem."

[Welcome to the Integrated Dimensional Community, 'PayToWinGuy'.]

With his Administrator privileges, he could even set up alt accounts.
