Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills-Chapter 38: Stuck Between Choices

[Frog Eater] : No way?!

[Bird Hunter] : Show proof.

[Experienced Old Knight] : If that's true, then I'd pick him over us too. No hard feelings.

[5th Style Sword Master] : Tch, an A-tier… I'd like to see what he has before I admit defeat.

Adam narrowed his eyes.

'Prankster of Kingdoms is an A-tier user…?'

That was unexpected.

In his past life, when news spread that [Prankster of Kingdoms] had been killed by the Vessel Devourer, the rumors claimed he hadn't even been able to retaliate.

People assumed he had a low-tier personalized ability, something weak and impractical.

Yet, if what he was saying was true, then those rumors had completely misrepresented his strength.

Who was the Vessel Devourer to take down an A-tier user so effortlessly?

Adam tapped his fingers against his arm, deep in thought.

'I wonder if he's trying to trick me or not...'

It wasn't out of the question.

The name [Prankster of Kingdoms] didn't exactly inspire trust.

He could very well be messing with them all just for his own amusement...

[Prankster of Kingdoms] : Hehe, you guys are just jealous.

Adam sighed a little.

'Well, he's certainly acting like one.'

Still, he had donated hundreds of coins on a whim, even once dropping a full 1,000 coins just because he "felt like it."

That level of generosity wasn't something an average viewer could afford. It lent some weight to his claim.

If it was true, then this was a golden opportunity.

The thing about abilities was that their tier mattered more than anything.

A D-tier skill could become stronger over time as its user leveled up, but it would always remain D-tier.

The sheer potential and versatility of an A-tier ability couldn't be matched by lower-tiered ones, no matter how much they developed.

His own [Body Blood Magic] was a prime example.

Despite its usefulness, it would always be classified as D-tier.

If he could secure an A-tier ability now, it would be a game-changer...

After a moment of consideration, Adam made his decision.

'I'm taking the risk.'

[Permanent Copy Activated]

[Select Viewer Skill to Copy]

The system interface glowed before his eyes, and [Prankster of Kingdoms]'s name appeared on the screen.

[Due to rank, you can only pick one ability out of three randomized choices.]

[Randomizing three choices…]

Adam watched as the options loaded, tension gripping his chest.

[Ability Selection]

1. [Surreal Creation] (A-Tier): Create perfect illusions that deceive sight, sound, and touch. The illusions can temporarily interact with the physical world but vanish if directly struck or if the user loses focus. The strength and realism of the illusions depend on mana capacity, mana quality, Stream Hunter rank, and level.

2. [Tripping Trickster] (D-Tier): Causes any chosen target within a ten-meter radius to trip. Works on most surfaces.

3. [Domain of Mischief] (A-Tier): Creates an area where reality is altered in playful and unpredictable ways. Effects include reversed gravity, floating objects, spontaneous item swaps, and randomized perception distortions. The stronger the user, the more control they have over the effects.

Adam's eyes flickered over the options.

The second one was an obvious dud.

He wasn't about to waste [Permanent Copy] on something as useless as making people trip.

Even if there were niche applications, it was leagues behind the other two.

That left [Surreal Creation] and [Domain of Mischief].

He re-read the description for [Surreal Creation], his mind already racing through possibilities.

The ability to create illusions so lifelike that they could deceive sight, sound, and even touch...

It was absurdly powerful!

If he had enough mana, he could fabricate anything....

Weapons, barriers, even false terrain to confuse his enemies.

It wasn't just a trick if in the right hands, it could be a game-changer.

The only drawback was that its effectiveness depended on his own capabilities.

Right now, his mana reserves weren't anything special, and his Stream Hunter rank was still low.

That meant his illusions would have limitations...

They would be less realistic, shorter duration, easier to break.

But once he leveled up…

'This could be terrifying.'

Then there was [Domain of Mischief].

It was chaotic and unpredictable.

An area where reality itself could twist in playful, but strategic ways.

Objects floating, gravity reversing, items switching places at random… or not so random, depending on how much control he had.

Contrary to the [Surreal Creation], this one wasn't an illusion... it was real.

If he could master it, he wouldn't just be deceiving enemies... he'd be outright rewriting the rules of a fight!

A controlled battlefield versus unlimited deception.

Raw versatility versus pure disruption...

Adam tapped his fingers against his leg, weighing the options.

Both were A-tier. Both had ridiculous potential.

Either one could change the way he fought forever...

Now, he just had to decide...

Adam flexed his fingers, a sharp exhale leaving his lips.

He hesitated for a second before coming up with a final decision.

[Surreal Creation] was the choice.

It was versatile. Practical.

It fit him.

He didn't need a battlefield-wide reality shift when he could control perception itself.

His past life had been full of fights where information and deception mattered more than brute force.

If an opponent couldn't tell the difference between real and fake, he controlled the fight before it even began.

More than that, it was sustainable.

He wouldn't have to worry about accidentally throwing himself into his own chaotic domain...

[Domain of Mischief] seemed unpredictable by nature...

Would he really be able to control every aspect of it?

Would he be able to decide who was affected, or would it always carry the risk of disrupting allies too?

If it could flip gravity, what if it flipped his own footing at the worst moment?

What if it swapped an enemy out of an attack range he'd carefully set up?

The potential was limitless, but so were the ways it could backfire...

'It's settled.'

A notification popped up in front of him.

[You have selected Surreal Creation.]

[Copying ability...]

[Permanent Copy complete.]

[Ability Gained] : Surreal Creation (A-tier)

A strange sensation washed over him.

It wasn't painful, but it was… different.

Like something was being rewritten inside him, a thread of existence intertwining with his own.

His fingers twitched involuntarily as the knowledge settled in, as the unfamiliar yet instinctive understanding of his new power took root.
