YouTube.
A video-sharing platform and website where users can upload, view, share, and interact with videos.
It was created in 2005 and has since become one of the most popular and influential websites on the internet. Users can find videos on a wide range of topics, from entertainment and education to tutorials and vlogs.
The platform allows content creators to upload their videos, build a subscriber base, and potentially earn money through advertising and other monetization methods. Viewers can watch videos for free and engage with the content through likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions.
YouTube has had a significant impact on how people consume and create video content, and it has become a central hub for entertainment, information, and communication.
Even in the year 2040 Youtube is still one of the most popular and used platforms in the world.
Ren has always fantasized about the life of a YouTuber, ever since he was a child he would be inspired to upload content to the platform.
He started just posting short videos of him doing supposedly funny stuff, as most children probably did.
He would continue this for about a year and a half and then started to get interested in gaming, and gaming videos.
He would sometimes screen record his short gameplay and upload them to his channel.
Ren has been doing YouTube for 6 long years, he now mostly just uploads random gaming clips and walkthroughs that he never finishes.
The number 8 seemed as if it had been frozen and could never move, that was his subscriber count and for the last 6 years, it never moved up or down, just sitting at the same number for what seemed to be forever.
None of his new videos could even reach 3 views and if they did he was for sure lucky.
His life was done, his job was barely paying him chump change, he was in debt, and nearly on the verge of being homeless.
The dark-haired male stood from his chair and walked to the bathroom, he then took a second to look in the mirror and noticed the dark eye-bags resting under his eyes.
"I should get better sleep~"
The man scratched his head and walked back out of the small bathroom and into the kitchen, he looked inside his fridge and came to find nothing but a bottle of mayonnaise and hot sauce.
"Seriously?...why the hell do I even have a bottle of mayonnaise?! when did I even buy this?!"
Ren steps into his living room opens his phone and clicks on the YouTube app.
Before checking it he usually starts to pray, "Please Lord..please be at least 5 views...!"
Ren opened his closed eyes and to no avail, barely even 2 views were waiting for him.
Ren sighs and gently throws his phone on the couch and then falls backward onto the couch as well.
He sighs harder and harder, "Why can't I get any views on my videos?"
Ren checks his bank account.
[ Bank Balance: -1,250$ ]
Ren works a dishwashing job which he hates, his boss is a total bitch and his coworkers purposely ridicule him for any minor inconvenience.
His impending doom of becoming homeless was looming over him and he was close to just giving up.
"Lord, If you can hear me...help me! Please!"
Ren closed his eyes and put his hands together for the prayer.
[Ding! Youtuber System Has Been Obtained!]
"H-Huh?..."
"I-Is this you speaking to me? God?"
[Welcome to the YouTuber System!]
"YouTuber system?...no way I must be hallucinating.."
Ren reaches out to touch the screen, his finger presses the screen and something pops up.
[Enter your YouTube Name: - ]
"This is.....woah. d-do I just put anything?..."
"Blissful?.."
Ren would say whatever came to his mind.

He looked at the rectangular screen display that was sitting before him, never in a million years did he expect something like this.
"I understand everything else but what are creativity points? and what does the shop do?"
[Creativity points are needed to record, edit, and upload videos. The total amount of points needed to make a new video is approximately 100.]
[And the shop is a virtual system feature in which the host can use creativity points to buy things such as, Laptops, Computers, Microphones, etc.]
"100?...how the hell am I supposed to get that many points?"
[These are the current ways the host can earn points,

"Those sure are small...hm...well what do the quest do and how much do they give?"
[Quest: Do random good deeds,
1. Cut 5 yards for 20 points.
2. Save 5 starving dogs for 25 points.
3. Donate at least 50 dollars for 50 points.]
"I don't know many dogs that are starving, and I'm extremely broke so I'll just cut some yards."
Ren then remembers he doesn't even have a lawnmower.
.
.
Ren walks away with the lawnmower, he makes sure to smile and wave as he leaves.
"The old man only gave me 2 hours to borrow his lawnmower so I should hurry up!"
Just earlier the short old man with a balding head was discussing the lawnmower with Ren and they eventually made a deal to let him borrow it for at least 2 hours.
Ren would go around looking for any yards to cut, At first people were hesitant but once he told them he'd do it for free they would agree.
He would start up the lawn mower and go to work on cutting the grass.
[1/5 Yards cut.].....
[2/5 Yards cut.].....
[3/5 Yards cut.].....
[4/5 Yards cut.].....
[CONGRATS! You have completed your first quest! points being distributed right now.]
[+20 Creativity Points]
[You are only 70 points away from 100! Keep working and you'll be there in no time!]
"Yeah, yeah..."
Ren was covered in sweat from head to toe, he only had a 2-hour time limit and he luckily finished it in time.
His exhausted body flopped onto the couch and he passed out instantly.
