Scott woke up suddenly.

A sharp, electric pain shot through his chest.

"ARRGH…!"

The memory of the pulse cannon blast from the night before was still fresh in his mind, and his body protested as he shifted in bed. Every breath felt like he was inhaling broken glass, and the ache throbbed all the way down to his ribs.

"Son of a…"

He winced and instinctively rubbed the bruised area where the energy blast had struck him.

It was healing, but not fast enough for his liking.

Still, the fact that he was alive meant something.

Last night had been real.

All of it.

For a moment, he just lay there, staring up at the ceiling, replaying the events in his head. The stealth, the takedown, the blast, the fall… the cheers from the chat echoing in his ears, their excitement buzzing through him even now. He couldn't believe it. He'd done it. His first real mission as an antihero. It wasn't flawless, but it was real, and it was his.

『I still can't believe it.』

He'd done it… his first real mission as a vigilante.

It wasn't perfect, but it was real, and it was his.

With a groan, he reached for his phone on the nightstand and pulled up his System board.

The System's robotic voice spoke up.

[Welcome, Scott.]

[Status Report: Mission Grade: C-]

The young man immediately frowned.

"Yeah, yeah… rub it in why don't ya."

But the next line on the screen made him pause.

[Viewers: 1,900 | Donations: $595]

He blinked. His heart skipped a beat.

"Holy shit… I actually made money."

It wasn't much, but for a first stream? That was more than he'd hoped for. He quickly flipped to his bank app, and his eyes widened at the sight of actual deposits.

Viewers had tipped him. A lot.

A smile slowly crept across his face as he scrolled through the messages attached to the donations.

[User: HypeTrain2024 | $50: Dude, you got this! I'm rooting for you, keep it up!]

[User: SnarkKing | $5: Lmao, keep getting blasted through windows, I love it.]

[User: HeroCritic | $20: Not bad, needs work tho.]

[User: NutBuster5000 | $10: Nice work out there, bro!]

There were plenty more.

But he read each one with care.

Shortly after, Scott opened the notification tab.

… ding! DING!

He was surprised to see a flood of comments from viewers filling the screen.

Some were supportive:
