[ Chapter III: "The Shop, And The Stream." ]
[ Volume I: "Game Entertainment System." ]
"The what now?" Felix stops daydreaming about foods that he'll probably eat later and thoughts about what Alexa just said.
"Today..." Felix trails off and thoughts about all the negative things that could happen to his world, overthinking and all. "It was, today?" he looks lost in though for a moment before calmly standing up, legs shaking as he thinks "I'm screwed."
"O-open all 'Notifications', 'Cameras' and anything relevant, please, make it quick." he calmly said out loud in an soft voice to Alexa, with his voice slightly shaken; and overall being taken by nervousness.
He sights to himself and sat down back to his chair with an audible cuff. With Felix roaming one of his hand on his face, and hair, fixing himself as he pushes his dark hair to the side; while breathing in and out softly trying to calm down his nerves.
A few seconds later dozens of floating flat screened-like digital images appeared around Felix, all currently showing live footage, and all having names on the top left of the said images. Names varies but all of them have something in common, and that's either the name [ "ZOMBIE CITY" ], [ "PLANT CITY" ], or just straight up. [ "LOBBY" ]
But, that wasn't what caught Felix's attention, "Faaaahhhk." What caught Felix's attention was the steady stream of texts saying [ "1 Gaming Points from 'Plants Vs Zombies'" ], [ "1 Active Player in 'Plants Vs Zombies'" ], [ "1 Active Player in 'Lobby'" ], [ "1 Gaming Points from 'Lobby'" ], [ "1 Active Streamer in Plants Vs Zombies'" ], and [ "1 Active Streamer in 'Lobby'" ] the texts repeatedly, and steadily covers Felix's point of view from the Cameras.
He looks at this behemoth wall of texts and could see the notifications popping in, and then quickly being replaced as fast as they appear. "I'm, rich." Felix thoughts to himself absentmindedly as another text appear beside his peripheral vision.
[ "245.2 Gaming Points." ] Felix notices this causing him to mumble to himself "I'm Rich?" His teeth slowly starts to show as he then smiles to himself from ear to ear "I'M RICH!! O-oh God!" Felix yelled to himself as he then starts laughing to himself. The previously seen Nervousness of his quickly dissappears as it was replaced with Joy.
"F-fuck everything, I'm Rich!" he once again told to himself, "A-alexa, Alexa open [ "Shop" ] quick!" Felix as quickly as he said that as quickly did the [ "Shop" ] Window appear floating beside him, near the [ "Balance" ] Window and besides a few Surveillance [ "Camera/s" ] which is showing Zombies going on about their day, which Felix didn't look at as he instead looks at the varying options the [ "Shop" ] presents.

Felix looks at the [ "Shop" ] Window's options with a small grin on his face, as he reads each product one by one. Still ignoring the crazy happenings that could be seen caught by his [ "Camera/s" ] on his peripheral vision.
"Ohh boy." Instead he focuses on what's in front of him, and told himself to worry about those thing's later; the U.T.O.P.I.A project did launch, now what? It's not like anything wrong could happen. He'll just let people enjoy the New Experience for now, and later on think of something about the repercussions of him launching U.T.O.P.I.A, and besides it's just been out for less than an Hour. What could go wrong?

[Zombie City, U.T.O.P.I.A Dimension]
"Yeah, I, ughh. I'm Ned Leeds! And welcome to my Vlog! Blog? o-oh Steam? Stream, y-yeah Stream!" Ned sheepishly said softly as an floating camera-like window constantly moves around in circles following him, "Welcome! Welcome!!" he smiles at the camera before he takes an huge bite out of an Grey colored Pizza; the cheese, pineapple and other toppings being in the lighter shade of Grey, which looks unappetizing to the normal viewer.
[ "Yo Ned! What you doing in Facebook live?" ] - Peter Parker.
[ "Did Facebook had an update?" ] - Mary Jane Watson.
[ "That looks like shit." ] - @spideyfanno1.
[ "Is this even YouTube?" ] - Penance996.
[ "Peter what are you doing it's midnight?!?" ] - Maybelle Parker.
[ "Isn't this Instagram?" ] - KathleenTheCatLady.
[...]
Multiple, tons of comments floats inside an flat screen hologram-like window floating in front of Ned, as Ned eats the food around him, focusing on the Pizza.
"Y-yeah no, this isn't---" Ned stops midsentence and repeatedly hit his chest, cuffing a little bit because of food being stuck on his throat
As someone hands him a glass of water, "Thanks." he instinctively said out loud and smiles at the Zombie Waiter. While his chat either freaks out, get confused, or admire the cute thing; the Zombie, not Ned.
[...]
[ "YO! WHAT THE HELL?!?!!" ] - HarryTheGuy.
[ "game?" ] - Elizabeth Allan.
[ "Whats happening?" ] - brookshirenerd.
[ "So cute! ♡♡♡" ] - GwendyStacy.
[...]
"O-oh! Yeah this is an Zombie," Ned coughs a little bit and points at the Zombie Waiter standing idly in front of him; which waves back in return, before ultimately turning around and getting back to work. "cool right?" he smiles at the Camera which he holds using both of his hands, pointing the Camera on his face.
[...]
[ "NED BRO! HOW?! WHERE ARE YOU!" ] - Peter Parker.
[ "oh god what the hell?!" ] - Elizabeth Allan.
[ "Are you in an Café or what?" ] - DaoOfCopying.
[ "That has to be an costume, it has to be." ] - @spideyfanno1.
[ "Didn't you noticed, the spit was so realistic idiot." ] - HarryTheGuy.
[ "Screw you Nerd!" ] - #spideyfanno1.
[ "You wanna go Flash?!" ] - HarryTheGuy.

"And apper-- oh, Peter!" Ned reads the flood of texts from the chat room, and just now realized that one of them is his Best Friend; Peter Benjamin Parker. Waving at the camera while ignoring the fighting, and confusion happening on his stream's chat.
"I know that this might sound really, really, really weird, but..." Ned brought both of his arms up and trails off, for the shock value of what's his about to say. "I, died."
