Tatsu Nezu looked at the God of Death in front of him. They were both chilling, Tatsu eating a beautiful plate of salmon roe and the God eating a bowl of lightly seasoned fried chips. Their dogs ran off, probably having their little fun in some ruined world, they knew their boundaries on not disturbing new worlds.

Alice was by Tatsu's side, ready to record the new mission that was going to be given.

 

"Hololive. Rings a bell?" (God)

"Yes. I used to watch them. Alice has memories of those streams that I occasionally watched."

"This world will be like Hololive if those characters were real with gods and supernatural elements."

"Interesting, so how is this an apocalypse?"

"For your 63rd [RUN], you are to prevent the collapse of the world under the effects of [BROKEN DREAMS]."

"[DREAMS]? What the hell is that? Another [PSYCHO SPREAD]? Those are a pain in the ass!"

 

"Similar, let me explain the causes and operation of this [RUN]. Simply put, what is your dream?"

"My dream...to eat salmon tomorrow and the days after that."

"Yes, that's a dream. Mine is to be with my Goddess until [ETERNITY]. We both have dreams, like [CREATION] but the other Gods had no such thoughts. They were plagued with duty and pride, making them much lower than us. But to prevent this, [CREATION] created the God of Dreams to give other Gods superficial dreams. While they were short-term goals, they worked."

"Yes, I remember him. He was one of the first Gods that went [ABANDON]."

"Indeed. He had an existential crisis, realising that his own dreams were nowhere to be seen. He went mad and used this world as a little experiment for his sickening ideas. He wanted to see what would happen when dreams were voided and used this method to test on Gods as well."

"So it was that world he was playing around. I remember seeing the broken state of it."

"Yes, it went through 20 [REBIRTH] but it never fixed itself, so we need to do it this time."

 

"Yay, time to make an idol company this [RUN]!"

 

"Maybe, I am not sure about the method of solving this time. I do know that this is classified as [INFINITE] cause the damage towards this world was way too much. Five more [REBIRTH] and this world will crumble and disappear."

"How does [BROKEN DREAMS] work?"

"Simply put, your huge dreams and aspirations don't exist. The inhabitants have no idea what it means to have a dream. But over time, those dreams start to cloud even more ideas. They slowly go after wants, needs and even the motivation to survive. Sex drives dwindle, human advancements plummet, and even their gods just give up and supernova themselves. It is that kind of world, and you can slowly heal it by spending time showing those dreams and hopes."

 

"I see. What time and place? And how identical is this to [EARTH] if we are talking about Hololive?"

"Their Earth is the same, but with much less entertainment. It's so bad that Pewdiepie can't make it a full-time job. Beyond that, the world is ever expanding with a size around [RUN] 47. Obviously, [TIME & SPACE PIN] will stop it but it is still pretty huge. They have miniature gods that copy some of the Gods, some even having [WEAK BLESSINGS] that Gods gifted to the God of Dreams."

"Impressive, a sad thing he had a weak mind and broke."

"Yes, he was quite a genius at creating a growing world."

 

Tatsu finished his last piece of salmon and let out a silent burp.

"Since it is an [INFINITE], I'll drop a [COPY] and check it every now and then when I go on other [RUNS]. Alice can go, I doubt the dogs want to be there for too long. Please keep me informed of its healing process."

"I will," the God of Death said and popped open a portal to the [RUN], "Good Luck"

"Cheers! See ya on the next [RUN]!"

And Tatsu drove into the Spiritual Plane of [HOLOLIVE].

{Little Segment}

"Chief, when can I have a mana exchange?"

"...You read too much Fate Doujins again?"

"Affirmative, they have brilliant art and fascinating lore as well as lovely sex scenes."

"...You do realise that it is just a normal sex act and we don't even need mana like those servants. You don't even need food or water, let alone mana, Alice!"

"Ohhh, I just wanted another excuse to have sex with you, Chief ❤️"

"No! The first time was imprinting and that is it!"

"So, I just need to factory reset to get another imprint."

"Don't you dare! I don't want to lose all that data!"

"Then promise me that when you are pent up, you will do it with me, Chief"

"...."

"Promise?"

"...Fine, Alice. I promise"

"~~~❤️ Love you Chief~~~"

"....Why did I think [CONFIGURE] on a [SYSTEM] was a good idea?"

Yeet, this was really great to write!
