The livestream's screen was instantly plunged into darkness and the audiences were simultaneously kicked out of Leinster's livestream.
While the audience faced the black screen that said "The livestream has ended", Leinster was greeted by a vast expanse of white.
The space had no end in sight with nothing in it, giving a strange, eerie vibe.
"What kind of trick— " Leinster was about to grumble when he paused.
His eyes suddenly widened and he almost jumped three feet high.
"HUHHH???"
The alien quickly patted his body frantically, as if searching for something.
Gone! It's gone!
His wounds...they're all gone!
Those deep wounds that revealed his flesh and bones, the burnt marks, even his rag-tag clothes...
They suddenly became brand new, as if he had never entered the [Ruin] just a second ago.
Leinster's nonchalant face instantly became grim, a sense of dread washed over his mind.
To think an ordinary space could heal all of his wounds, bringing him back to life in a mere second...
Leinster had a feeling that whoever would be his new "master" was way, way stronger than he initially thought.
Just when Leinster was deep in thoughts, a gloomy, weary voice sounded above his head.
"Sob sob, new challengers, c-congratulations for passing the preliminary round, sob sob."
"Ah! What the hell— " Goosebumps broke on Leinster's nape and he instantly whipped his head up, only to see...
Nothing.
Wait, no, no.
A floating vest and eyes?
Leinster rubbed his eyes in disbelief and upon opening his eyes for the second time, only then did he notice something.
Ah, there's actually a white rabbit standing on its hind legs, floating in the air!
With such pure white fur, no wonder only its black vest and sapphire eyes stood out.
"Who are you?" Leinster looked up at the talking rabbit who was wiping its eyes with a delicate handkerchief.
"Wuwuwu, my name is Rain, I'm your personal guide, dear challenger."
The bunny still shed tears as if his dad died this morning.
Twitching his lips, Leinster motioned the rabbit to fly lower.
His neck is sore!
"Okay, Rain, my personal guide or a slave trainer— whatever. Just tell me what I should do next."
Isn't it time to meet his new "master"?
Rain tilted his head and folded his left ear as a question mark floated above his head.
"I don't understand what you're saying, but...sob sob...it's time to settle the rewards, sob sob."
Rain waved his paw and a familiar interface, this time golden, popped up in front of Leinster.

[Warning: titles are only active inside the ruin!]
Leinster was bombarded with tons of titles and his mind instantly buzzed, but the rabbit acted as if he didn't see it.
"Sob, sob, you can learn more of your rewards after you leave this place, sob sob."
"Wait, wait, not so fast! I didn't get my blind box yet!" Leinster gripped the rabbit's leg with a desperate face as he subconsciously raised his voice,
"Also, what's with the life votes and the death votes?"
Since he had cleared the [Ruin], he didn't need them anymore, right?
But he had a bad feeling...
The rabbit looked at its poor leg caught by the big bad wolf and sighed helplessly.
"Wuwuwuwuw, you're a bully...let me count your remaining life votes first."
"Hey! Don't think you can distract me by changing the topic— "
A surge of golden panels suddenly obstructed Leinster's eyesight.
DING! [The title "Newbie Streamer" is converting 1% of peak views into life votes: +40 votes]
DING! [The title "Rising Star Streamer" is converting 10% of peak views into life votes: +400 votes]
DING! [The title "Overachiever" is adding 2% of the total ruin clearance's life votes reward: +100 life votes]
DING! [You have received a total of 3,040 Life Votes!]
Leinster was hit dizzy with the sudden surge of Life Votes and he...was effectively distracted.
What? The last time he saw it, it was only 500 votes, the last ditch votes before he cleared the ruin!
How did he get so many out of the blue?
But then, before Leinster could rejoice, a striking red virtual panel suddenly hit him in the face.
DONG! [Warning! Warning! You have received a total of 3,000 Death votes!]
