1 Beginning
An unknown program starts running on all technology that has a display screen from phones and civilian computers to the electronic billboards in time square and the computers in Nasa. Just as the cyber security departments from all around the world begin to frantically try and find the source of this world wide cyber attack the program finishes running and opens… A live stream?
"Hello? Is this thing working?" A man of Asian descent says waving at the screen with a dark void behind him. Everyone with access to technology looked at him. "My name is Chu Yin, and I died about five minutes ago." As the people of the world stood in shock he continued. "And as anyone who has read a Chinese, Japanese or Korean light novel might have guessed already, I'm being sent to another world."
As some people finally begin to realize what is happening the man continues. "And all people being sent to another world need a golden finger or in most cases a system, my system is a bit different from other systems it is known as the Fantasy World Livestream System. I can stream everything that happens to me in this other world. Also when I finish a worlds mainline story I can head to another world, from what my system is telling me I the different worlds have difficulty levels as well, from one stars like supernatural abilities worlds to five stars like, lovecraftian and cultivation worlds.
"But I can't pick the world I want to go to since according to the system that goes against the spirit of live streaming. So here's a poll." Everyone watches as a poll with 5 options of one to five stars appear on their screen, the Otaku of the world begin to excitedly vote and slowly the regular people join in as well. The cyber security departments still trying to pinpoint the source of the attack ignores the poll, the world governments try to stop this by running emergency broadcasts but fail the livestream program seems to have overwritten any and all other programs.
The governments of the world also ran a facial search on the man in the livestream, but the answer they got wasn't something they liked, the american government found a piece of security camera footage that show Chu Yin being hit by a truck about six minutes ago, his history also shows he is a university student from China who came overseas to study. As the faces of the world government higher ups darkened, so did Chu Yins, the poll worked a bit differently from a traditional poll. It's like a rating system taking the average of all the votes it received, and Chu Yin watched in horror as the number fluctuated between 4.5 and 4.9.
"You know this poll also shows something else… the amount of internet trolls in this world. Are you people trying to get me killed!? My system doesn't start off OP It gets more Overpowered as I go to more worlds. Alright No one ever does anything if there is nothing in it for them so I'll tell you guys now when I complete a world you guys the people of earth will gain partial access to that world." After saying this Chu Yin watched in relief as the numbers started dropping now staying at a stable 3.8. Seeing this number Chu Yin still felt it was a bit high so he said. "People can also gain supernatural powers in the part of the other world they access to." And Chu yin watched as the numbers dropped like a crashing stock market. Stopping at an acceptable 1.9.
Chu Yin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as the polls ending countdown started, But at the last second the number suddenly rose. When the poll ended the number rose to 2.6. "F*cking internet trolls" Chu Yin muttered under his breath. What he didn't know was the sudden increase was caused by the world governments since they knew if normal people gained supernatural powers the fragile hierarchy held together by non-existent rules would collapse and the world would fall into chaos. The background of the livestream changed becoming an apocalyptic world, the a mechanical voice sounded saying

{Now choosing transportation method}
Three screens appear with the words Transmigration, Reincarnation, and Isekai, the word all have a few paragraphs of writing underneath them describing their Pros and Cons. In Summary.
Transmigration: Soul Transfers into a dead body in the other world
Pros: Existing Identity
Understanding of the world due to previous owners memories
Cons: Identity Picked at random very luck based
Carry the burden of all the original owners past mistakes
May be found out if one does not act like original owner
Reincarnation: Start by being born into the world as a baby
Pros: Existing Identity
Understanding of the world due to growing up in the world
Cons: Useless for the first few years
May lose partial past life memory during baby stage
Isekai: Body and soul go to another world
Pros: Keeps everything on your person
Very non luck based you keep your body
Start as a clean Slate
Cons: No Identity
Maybe seen during transportation
No History of existing
Chu Yin Smiled because his system told him he could choose his method of transportation, (Reincarnation is out immediately since it would be a burden in this world, and from all the light novels I read having some people that hate you in a apocalyptic world is bad, also since the world is chaos identity means nothing so Isekai it is) Chu yin thought before hitting the Isekai button. "I welcome you all to the Livestream that blurs the lines of real and fiction, you can now go back to your regular lives but if you want to watch this magical livestream just say the phrase 'Livestream system' to any electronic device and begin watching the one and only livestream from another world.
