The gathering of the viewers was an unexpected thing.
[ "You should check the viewer log. See when they came." ]
Right now, the young Dokkaebi had three unique viewers. These viewers, established members of their unique Storylines, the beings who possessed divinity and were literal gods, were watching the stream of this young newbie.
"Meeee…"
The system guided the young dokkaebi on how he was supposed to treat the beings that come to view his streams.
There were no special gimmicks, the viewers were here simply because of the unique combinations of the current Stream tags.
[ "See? One of them came shortly after you started doing your childish things. Perhaps they came to see a young storyteller? There are many divinities like them in the world." ]
According to the system logs, they could see that one of the viewers came when the Dokkaebi was still just running away from his own status window.
The other one came when the Dokkaebi started collecting the materials and the last one around when the Dokkaebi had entered this city.
Since the streams of the world are connected, the viewers from one stream that are paying attention to a particular area could sometimes also go on to other streams.
There were many ways to attract the viewers, but without a main protagonist, the viewers that you get are either only the crazy ones, or the ones that watch all the streams with certain tags that they fancy.
[ "Let us not pay much attention to them for the time being. There is still some work to do." ]
The system voice reminded the newbie of the main task that they had on their hands: finding a protagonist.
[ "A story protagonist could be anything or anyone. Most of the streamers out there choose something that they personally like or go on to find something that is trending at the moment." ]
[ "The world is vast, and there are all kinds of divinities that want to watch all kinds of things. The moment you choose a protagonist, the tags that your streams have, will change accordingly." ]
[ "If your stream has famous tags, it will attract more viewers. As you get more viewers, you will have more chances to earn through their donations." ]
[ "The tag assignment is done by the system on its own so you will have to learn how to use it to your advantage." ]
"Meee… Miii…!"
The newbie did not like all the things that the voice had said. They were being too specific. The young dokkaebi wasn't too keen with the details.
He just wanted to do something that he liked.
Ideally for the protagonist, it would have been best to find someone that was entertaining, strong, as well as someone who would survive in the upcoming scenarios.
If he were some veteran streamer who knew about the ways of the mindstate, he would have understood how the upcoming events were going to unfold.
Even if he was someone that at least had the basic knowledge of the system and the streaming, he would have been way better at something that was happening at the moment.
He would have paid more attention to finding his protagonist.
But this creature was still too young and too ignorant to care about things like that.
The dokkaebi flew around the city and saw various things. He was fascinated by a lot of human elements of the city, as well as with the things that were made with magic.
"Meeee…"
With his green eyes widened at the simple magic defense systems of the outer walls, the dokkaebi scanned through the Elementalism knowledge that he possessed and recalled some information on the runes that were used in the creation of this defense system.
He wanted to use his special skill once again, but he did not do so just yet.
"Miiiii~!"
Since he was protected by the system's restrictions, unless he wanted to reveal himself, the others could not see him.
Some with good perception might sense him in their surroundings, but that was it. He was still a being that was beyond the perception of most of the normal people so, once he had reached the city, he sneaked inside through the gates.
The barriers were something he could not pass through just yet.
[ "since you have your special senses, you might not even have to use that skill to know who is the most special among the beings here. Follow your heart. Though, make sure to select someone that'll be as interesting as you are." ]
"Meeeee~!"
The little furball flew around the city and for that evening, he observed various things.
[ "That's just a normal Firecat." ]
The furball went around patting different cats and birds around the city.
"Mi~! Meeee~!"
[ "You shouldn't steal food like that. If you like it, you will have to pay for it… but it's not like they'll know anyways." ]
He was a spiritual being that did not really need food, however, as young and innocent as he was, he got curious about what the voice explained as 'food'.
There were various shops and stalls around the city and the furball did not even need as much as a human child so, a little stealing was forgiven by the voice.
Still, as a caring and good nurturer, it was an inherent program of the system to raise the being as caringly and according to the normals of the world it was born in, as it could.
But then again, parents aren't some omnipotent or all knowing beings.
They are imperfect… and the system had put considerable efforts to give the Caregiver that quality.
[ "While the food is fine, you should not steal valuable things from the bigger shops, young one. It is a bad thing to do." ]
"Mee?"
[ "Yes, a bad thing. A bad thing is something that you might get punished for doing. Since you are young right now, it is fine, but going forward, doing bad deeds might mean punishment. And punishment feels the same as what you had felt the first time you saw your status window." ]
Fear, pain, and defeat. The negative emotions were something the child distinctively understood now.
But he was still oblivious to the concept of economy.
[Ding!]

[Hooks: #First stream, #Dokkaebi, #Newborn, #City of Elixirs, Amrita, #Basic magic demonstration, #Food ASMR, #Human world, #Low-tier civilization, #Childish Streamer.]
There were some viewers who left the stream after they did not find what they might have come hoping for, however, as the stream tags were updated once again, new viewers joined in.
[ "You should make a thank you note for the ones who donate. You remember how important the donations are, don't you?" ]
"Miii~!"
The dokkaebi was thrilled and beaming after receiving the first of his donations so as the voice guided him, he made a thank you note for the ones who donated to him.
[You have made a
Since the young dokkaebi still did not have any knowledge about the 'original language' or the strength to speak in that language, he used his own voice as a thank you note.
And while he did not speak to the viewers directly, the thank you note that he had prepared was unique.
[ "Haaa. I guess we shouldn't hope too much since this is just the first stream." ]
The voice did not have much expectations for him. He was still too young to gain any big viewers so whatever he could do was fine at this stage… but, contrary to the voice's expectations, something interesting happened.

[One of your viewers has left the stream.]
[Current viewers: 5.]
Some of them liked the furball's voice so much they could not contain themselves while some of them found it ridiculous and a waste of money as they left the stream.
However, those who stayed were looking forward to even more of the streamer responses.
And as the divinities who had been observing the countless worlds of the Mindstate over the past eons, they knew how to get what they wanted from these so called Baby Streamers.
