Free Web NovelChapter 58: Chapter 58
Ray swallowed hard, throat suddenly bone dry. His mind was racing:
’This needs to be cut, bro. This shit’s way too wild, it’s definitely getting banned or sparking some huge ass drama.’
But that part of his brain already addicted to going viral was screaming loud:
’This is gonna be so memeable. People are gonna repost the fuck out of it, duet it, make reaction videos. This could blow me up real quick.’
He couldn’t hold back anymore. Trying to keep a chill expression, Ray looked at the camera and said softly:
"See? Insane, right? What the hell is even going on here?"
He stopped the recording right there. Heart pounding like crazy. Ray let out a small smile and shook his head. "I’ve officially lost it."
---
Once he got back to his apartment, Ray eyes look straight to his phone, hands still shaking a little. He’d finally decided to upload the video to that one platform he’d been avoiding this whole time — the one full of toxic people, forced opinions, ideology wars, cancel culture, and every kind of drama. ’If not now, then when?’ he thought.
He edited the video real quick (just cut the super cringe intro), added a short caption: "Mall Central Square today... what the hell is going on here? 😭" and hit upload.
A few minutes later...
[DING!]
[Reward granted: +500 EXP, +500 Alter Points]
[Ding!]
[Level Up!
Level 6 → 11!]
A glowing blue system window popped up in front of his face.
[Upgrade Duration unlocked!
Every minute of active upgrade costs 10 Alter Points.
Max duration depends on total Alter Points the Host uses during the upgrade.]
Ray grinned, but the next notification lowkey pissed him off.
[Upgrade Duration can only be used once per week. During the upgrade, Host can’t access the system for 24 hours and is also exempt from daily missions for the duration.]
"Damn, another roadblock... but hey, at least I’m freed from daily missions."
Then another notification popped up and Ray’s grin came back full force:
[Next Level Milestone!] fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
• Level 15 → **Solo Alter** unlocked (Host can alter one specific person’s common sense).
• Level 20 → **Targeting Alter** unlocked (Host can alter the common sense of 2+ people at once).]
"Level 15... Solo Alter," Ray muttered, clenching his fist. "Now *this* is what you call real power."

Ray grabbed his phone and checked the comments on the video he just dropped. Already dozens rolling in within minutes:
- "WTF HAHAHA IS THIS REAL??"
- "Mall Central Square? I’m literally here rn, brb gonna check 😂😂"
- "Bro is this alternate reality or what? I thought ts was just a meme"
- "Toxic comments incoming but this shit is actually hilarious lmao"
- "A skit???..."
Ray smiled, satisfied. He knew this was only the beginning. This video was about to blow the fuck up.
---
Ray was sprawled out on his apartment bed, one hand gripping his phone, the other tucked behind his head. Room lights were dim as hell. The video views had already shot up by thousands in no time, and he couldn’t stop grinning to himself.
"I’m gonna be famous. Deadass. This video’s about to blow the fuck up. In a day or two I can go full-time streaming. Go live every night, donations raining in, sponsors sliding into my DMs on their own. Easy monthly bag in the hundreds of millions."
That thought made his smile stretch even wider. Then he let out a soft chuckle. That chuckle slowly turned into a nastier, more perverted laugh — low, but full of straight-up lust.
"Mwehhehehe... Once I’m blowing up like this, it’s gonna be so fucking easy to pull all those hot famous chicks. Events, collabs, they’ll even hit me up first. I can meet them with zero hassle. And the best part... I can fuck them whenever I want. Even the ones who got some jacked, muscular husband at home. With this Alter system, I just tweak their common sense a little and they’ll think ’this is normal’ — hell, they’ll even get excited about it themselves. I can turn them into my personal harem with zero drama. Mwehhehe..."
Ray shook his head, still grinning like a dumbass, his hand unconsciously drifting down toward his crotch before he caught himself. His heart was pounding hard — not from fear, but pure excitement over the future he was cooking up in his head.
Suddenly his phone started vibrating like crazy. Not just a few dozen — hundreds of new comment notifications popping up in seconds. Views were climbing stupid fast too.
Then... a DM notification popped up on top.
Ray opened it.
From @Asmoldking:
"Bro, your video is actually insane. Was that shit at Mall Central Square real or just edited? We’re looking for a guest for our online podcast tomorrow night. You down to hop on? Just tell the whole story from start to finish about what happened while you were recording it. We’ll talk pay — it’s solid for someone who just went viral like this."
Ray sat straight up. Eyes wide as fuck.
*A podcast? Already? Asmoldking? How the hell is this even happening?*
He was shocked half to death. But then he remembered — in this day and age, nothing’s impossible when it comes to online shit. Especially with all these weird global phenomena happening lately (even if they’re way smaller scale than before). And only Ray knew he was the one behind all the chaos.
He quickly checked @Asmoldking’s profile. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Verified. 487K followers. Bio: "Podcast | React | Late night talk | Collab open." Profile pic was clear — dude’s face was all over YouTube and Twitch recommendations.
*Damn... it’s really him. Asmoldking actually slid in my DMs.*
Ray started laughing his ass off to himself, half in disbelief. "No fucking way... I’m really getting invited on a podcast with this guy?"
He fired back a reply with slightly shaky hands:
"For real bro? Hell yeah I’m down. What time tomorrow night? Drop the details."
Reply came instantly:
"9 PM. I’ll send the Zoom link tomorrow afternoon. Just keep it chill, we’ll talk casual. Your video’s on fire right now."
Ray grinned wide as hell. A podcast with a name that big... this could be a massive jump.
He went back to the video comments. Thousands of fresh ones flooding in. He scrolled slow until his eyes stopped on one that just dropped:
"This is what happens when your city bans love between two men, mocks a pair of women who fall in love by calling them abnormal, and refuses to approve same-sex marriage... Congrats, God just sent y’all a warning."
