...In a completely pure white room.
There were no windows, and no door could be found.
Although no light source was visible, a soft, non-blinding, non-dim light emanated from all around.
Elysia stood in the very center of this room, looking down at herself; her pink and white dress was as perfect as ever.
She lightly stomped her foot, and a solid, real sensation came from beneath it.
"Hmm... this place is really strange, isn't it?"
She tilted her head, muttering to herself, "Is this the so-called system space?"
Her voice rang out clearly in the empty room, yet there was not a single echo.
However, Elysia didn't feel scared; curiosity filled her heart more.
"Ai-chan, can you change this place to a pink theme? And add more decorations, please~"
Elysia said.
"Style change successful."
As a cute voice sounded, the surroundings instantly transformed into a room full of pink, and many beautiful decorations appeared out of thin air.
Elysia raised her hand, her fingertips lightly tracing the air in front of her, as if trying to grasp something.
Just then, the space in front of her rippled slightly.
Following that, a translucent, faintly pink-glowing, floating screen appeared directly in front of her, hovering steadily there.
The screen was about the size of an open magazine, with some simple icons and lines on it.
Elysia's eyes immediately lit up, and she excitedly extended a slender finger, carefully poking towards the screen.
When her fingertip touched the screen, there was a slightly cool, resistant sensation.
Where she touched, the screen rippled in tiny circles.
"Wow, oh? Not bad, oh~"
She exclaimed softly, finding it very interesting.
She then used her fingertip to tap a circular icon on the screen. The icon made no sound, it just lit up, indicating it was activated.
"Hmm, this... is it a camera?"
Elysia looked at the small window that appeared on the screen, which showed her own curious face.
She tilted her head slightly, and the image in the window moved with her.
"Hmm~ Would this angle be a little cuter?"
She smiled at herself in the screen, then adjusted her stance, turning sideways and striking a playful pose.
"I still have to let everyone see the most beautiful me, right ♪"
She was like a new streamer just getting into live broadcasting software, diligently studying how to adjust the 'camera' angle and field of view... Elysia recalled what had happened before. Originally, after everything ended, she and her companions had a long period of peaceful days.
But then suddenly one day... "The System of Love Broadcast has been activated. Now binding the sole host: Elysia. Binding complete."
"Eh? System, what is this? Is it Vill-V's new invention?"
Elysia asked in confusion, but the voice seemed to have no intention of answering her.
"This system aims to connect different worlds and share the sights and beautiful emotions of various worlds."
The voice continued to speak without a ripple.
"Oh, can you be more specific?"
Elysia's interest was piqued when she heard the word "beautiful."
"You can travel to different worlds to livestream. There are no mandatory requirements for the livestream content, but bright, cheerful, and positive content is more likely to receive energy feedback."
"Livestreaming? Is it like those streamers on the internet?"
Elysia asked again; though it was a question, her tone was full of "this sounds interesting" anticipation.
"That's one way to understand it."
"Your livestream signal will cross worlds and be received by some individuals in the world you once existed in, as well as other target worlds."
"They can interact with you through a method you can understand, like a comments."
"What you gain from livestreaming is not money, but 'Love Charm Value' generated by the audience."
"Joy, move, happiness—these positive emotions can all be converted into Love Charm Value."
"It is the foundation for maintaining system operation, world travel, unlocking new functions in the future, and buying some magical small props."
"You can even use it to create miracles..."
"Love Charm Value... it certainly sounds like a wonderful thing."
Elysia said softly, a gentle arc curving her lips, "Beautiful things and emotions, there's nothing more wonderful in this world, right?"
The system did not respond to her sentiment, only continuing its cold explanation.
"Host, please name your livestream room and prepare to start your first livestream."
"The coordinates for the first world-travel will be randomly drawn after the livestream begins."
"A name, huh..."
Elysia tapped her chin with her fingertip, thought for a moment, and then suddenly broke into a brilliant smile, "Then let's call it... 'Elysia's Wonderful Journey'! Simple and easy to remember, right?"
"Livestream room named successfully. Start livestream immediately?"
"Wait a moment."
"Does the host have any other questions?"
"Oh, do you have a name?"
Elysia asked with a smile.
"I am the System of Love Broadcast. If there is a shortened name, please name it, Host."
"Oh, then how about 'Ai-chan'?"
"Naming successful."
"This voice doesn't quite match Ai-chan's name, can it be made a little cuter?"
"Voice pack change successful."
This time, the voice that came through was like a cute little girl.
"Is there something like a system fairy? Hurry and make one appear!"
Elysia kept making demands, and the system could only comply, after all, it's just system duty... Time returned to the present.
"Ai-chan~!"
"I'm here."
A pink, adorable, pink-haired little fairy popped out. This was an image Elysia had requested after several different demands.
"Oh, with such a cute body, saying something like that creates quite a contrast, you know~"
Elysia poked Ai-chan's little face with interest.
But Ai-chan showed no reaction.
"Host, would you like to start the livestream?"
"Okay! Then let's get ready to start, I can't wait~"
Elysia took a deep breath, looking at the small window on the screen that reflected her image, and a smile, her most iconic and approachable, bloomed on her face.
A red dot appeared in the center of the screen, flashed three times, and turned into a green "Live" indicator.
"Nice to meet you for the first time, or has it been a long time?"
