The forest around Jason was bleak… a mess of thick trees.
There were hardly any sounds around him, and what he DID hear was extremely faint.
Jason looked around, pushing himself up off the cold grass and approached one of the trees. He rubbed his hand across the bark, his eyes widen at the texture.
"Did I really… I have to figure out what's fucking going on…"
"LoSwavyy commented: So far he really is just whining tbf"
Jason jumps again at the voice.
"Seriously… who is that?"
.
.
.
[Jesus, I really have to just answer everything for you… not a single brain cell I swear!]
[Theyre your readers! If you aren't pleasing anyone, you'll cease to exist. So for your sake, be entertaining?]
.
.
.
"Readers? Am I part of a book or something?"
.
.
.
[Basically… The more entertaining you are, and the more people like you, the stronger you'll get]
[But remember this… the viewers' enjoyment is much more important than you… so try not to die!]
.
.
.
"Die?? I already did you piece of shit!"
Jason roars out into the forest. No one's listening. And he has no idea how many readers are even paying attention either.
"But… I have at least one reader right? Doesn't that give me something??"
.
.
.
[…]
[Fine.]
[Congratulations! You have received:

.
.
.
"You shitty game! How am I supposed to fight something with this?"
.
.
.
[I dunno… but I'm sure you'll figure that out right?]
.
.
.
Instantly, a mass of blue pixels materializes in front of Jason. He stumbles backward in shock as he grasps his amazing blade…
The blue pixels merge together slowly, revealing what can only be described as a sentient booger.

[Slime | Level 1]
.
.
.
"A slime? That isn't really super threatening…"
.
.
.
[Yet!]
[Poll Started…
How many slimes should spawn?

.
.
.
"A poll?! Are you fucking with me ?? Who's even going to vote on that shit!"
.
.

[… The readers of course!]
