Chapter 6 - SPONSORSHIP SHOWDOWN

[SCENE 1: THE KAREN REALM]

The portal spat them into a dimension of endless customer service desks, each manned by a clone of Karen Supreme. Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, illuminating signs that read:

"ALL COMPLAINTS FINAL. NO REFUNDS. NO ESCAPE."

Darius's Nokia hammer pinged with a notification:

[📱 NEW MESSAGE: "Welcome to KarenHQ! Your estimated wait time is... ETERNITY."]

Truck-Kun's grille drooped. "Worst. Isekai. Ever."

---

[SCENE 2: THE VTUBER DEBUT]

A shimmering screen materialized in front of them:

[🎥 LIVE STREAM STARTING IN 10... 9...]

**DARIUS (panicking): "Why is there a subscriber count on my skull*?!"

The camera flipped on, revealing:

- Truck-Kun with anime-girl filter (blinking ^_^ headlights)

- Darius as a "skeleton ASMR" streamer

- Karen Supreme in the chat, spamming: "MODS BAN THEM"

VIEWER COUNT: 666,000 and rising.

---

[SCENE 3: THE SPONSORSHIP WAR]

A pop-up appeared:

[🌟 "NECROBRAND wants to sponsor you!

PAYMENT: 1 soul per 10k views"]

Darius hesitated. "That's... suspiciously fair?"

Truck-Kun's GPS blared: "WARNING: FINE PRINT DETECTED."

The contract's hidden clause? "Souls become NFT memes."

CHAT REACTED:

💀 "SIGN IT FOR THE CONTENT"*

🚛 "DON'T DO IT, BRO"

👑 "I'LL BUY YOUR SOUL FOR 3.50"

---

[SCENE 4: THE GREAT ESCAPE]

Karen Supreme's minions closed in, wielding "Terms of Service" spears.

TRUCK-KUN (whispering): "New plan: We become the sponsors."

He revved his engine, projecting a holographic ad:

"TRY TRUCK-KUN'S NEW 'YEET-FREE' ISEKAI INSURANCE!

"0.1% ACCIDENT RATE (disclaimer: 99.9% lies)"

The Karens paused. "...Does it cover emotional damages?"

---

[SCENE 5: THE BETRAYAL]

Airplane-Sama crashed through the ceiling, trailing "100% ON-TIME" banners.

AIRPLANE-SAMA:"Pathetic. I got a deal with Afterlife Express™!"

He dropped branded parachutes that turned into 5-star review requests.

Darius facepalmed so hard his jawbone clattered to the floor.

---

[SCENE 6: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN]

The stream's donation goal bar filled:

"100% FUNDED! UNLOCKING: 'DELETE KAREN REALM' DLC"

Truck-Kun hit "Accept" just as:

- Karen Supreme's "Manager Mode" glitched

- The NFT souls rebelled as pixelated ghosts

- The VTuber avatar winked and gained sentience

LAST MESSAGE BEFORE DISCONNECT:

"Follow @UndeadDarius for Part 2!"
