[Monster Streaming] Top Bidders (Patreon)

Would you like to display your top contributors?

You hadn’t even noticed the little click as your hand slid from the mouse. You always kept clear of this particular feature, because you knew what kind of chaos it would unleash among your followers. You knew, of course, that some viewers were more generous than others. What you wanted to avoid at all costs, however, was another petty competition between monstrous fans in order to gain your affections; especially after Y/NSimp nearly got evicted from draining all his savings for you.

Where would you even watch my livestreams, you argued, refusing to receive his obscene transaction. They don’t have Internet under bridges.

For this very reason - once you realized the mistake - your heart begun palpitating: neatly tucked away in a corner of your profile stood a little list of bidders. You tumbled over back to your desk, preparing your speech and reassurances, yet the chatroom was suspiciously quiet.

At the very top of the chart, costing him two jobs and a hefty bank loan, stood the menace who barely avoided homelessness. Don’t worry, he was not overworking himself. After all, it would all be pointless if the sources of income left him too tired or too busy to properly and religiously follow your every move.

On the other hand, there was no jealousy or outrage in sight.

Ah, yes. In truth, the good old leaderboard system had been discarded for quite a long time already. Your biggest tippers found it cheap and tasteless, choosing to either send you expensive gifts or take you out instead. SharkMan vanished from these little league charts mere days after joining your streaming journey. To everyone else, these games of pocket change were nothing but a formality. The few monsters who doubted its nature and thought of upping their monetary presence had deflated almost instantly once the winner turned out to be the ever-pathetic Y/NSimp.

Which, in a way, was probably for the best. You doubted that the mysterious beggar would survive as the main target for your other beastly suitors. You remembered your first outing with SharkMan, and the way he showed up with a slight huff and a five minute delay. Do forgive my impertinence, but I had to avoid another assassination attempt, he explained calmly and factually. Indeed, being at the top - or rather, being closest to you came with the great price of envy. Thankfully, no one considered Y/NSimp to pose even a fraction of the same threat. He would be fine.

Y/NSimp: Heh, guess that Shark guy ain’t that much of a bigshot, huh?

LizardKing5: Is anyone going to tell him?

LizardKing5: …No? Alright.

HornyMantis: Congrats man
