An alien influencer
The game of evolution is seen by all walks of life from high Lords in capital city sized battle ships to the homless orphans who watch through any window they can find with a screen visible.
But there is also an entire sub-ecosystem that was born, such as merchandising and films along with gambling and content creation. This all lived on the UVN, which is the universal vast network, which is basically the earth's world wide web but more vast and hectic.
There were so many types of YouTube and Facebook and Amazon that there wasn't any dominant service. This was courtesy of the multiple galactic movements and groups. So, looking into one of these sites, we will look at one of the more popular and flamboyant characters who made a living off of the games.
Pelunexum sector
Planet: Xenun
Population: 2.5 billion
This planet was like a new car it had been discovered 30 years ago and was getting built for the last 10 years. By construction machines and a.i but also off world labour and had been brought in. It was recently completed and settled as soon as it was completed.
The world's comfortable population size was 4 billion and was the size of Mars with cities spread across its surface. World's like these either ended up with the rich livng in them or the poor this is beacuse this world is better than an older one and the rich move while the poor go to the riches abandoned world or this world is built for growing population or for labour.
This world was the former being laced in metal,lights, and other advanced tech with nothing magical or biological. This world and its sector were clearly leaning towards the tech side of things.
In one of these cities in a high rise that was over 250 floors tall having to be made with all sorts of materials to handle the enviormental conditions. On the 130th floor was our influencer who created videos that reciced hundreds of millions of views easily.
His name was Qondrathrax he was actually the same species as Cagras old friend Zenithrax and was also a Thraxian.
He was originally born in the menanex galaxy where his species was from and looked like floating rocks. With crystal eyes and Astral tentacles, they all also have thrax at the end of their name.
He was currently chilling in his living room while watching his own videos, which wasn't weird at all, especially when he laughs at his own joke. He was watching his latest video in which he reviewed what was the worst created race in all the games.
"Oh yeah!, that race was complete Sendon waste. I wouldn't trade that for what my pet leaves in its toilet!"-Qondrathrax
"But who can forget the Pelorians, my god, that race couldn't even surive before the first wave!"-Qondrathrax
Then, there was the man himself currently using his Astral tentacles to consume a unique energy drink his race created for themselves.
"Looks like I managed to keep the energy up throughout the video, and the editing is smooth. Perhaps I should try and get another interview with one of the former winners"-Qondrathrax
Like many content creators, in reality, he wasn't as ecentric or crazy as he portrayed himself to be and was usually quite calm. His race as a whole did like to have fun overall being known to be the parties monsters of the universe.
But exceptions will always exist. Maybe one day they'll even be a completely vegan rixis who won't harm animals. But that's in the far future and extremely unlikely, and right now, Qondrathrax wasn't being an egomaniac but was looking for improvements in his videos.
He was one of these most watched content creators in the evolution games sphere, getting millions of views in the first few minutes of uploading and comfortably getting over 100 million each video.
His most viewed video has tens of billions of views and had gotten him in interviews with many high-profile game winners and game staff. One of those people is Zenithrax, whom he did a prod at with, and here is a short excerpt of that.
"Okay, so let's get to my friend Cagra. All I can say is it's as long as my tentacle, ha ha!"-Zenithrax
Qondrathrax had a large fan base that from selling merch and his video views allowed him a life of luxury and bliss. He was at the top, and he knew that to get to another level, he would need to get the first interview with the next winner of the game.
"If I can get the next winner, I'll be on all the networks news and videos for years to come, and I'll be able to make a much stronger connection with that specific person"-Qondrathrax
"Ah, well, it time to make another video"-Qondrathrax
Then he moved towards his studio, in which he had his filming equipment and editing tools.
"Okay, let's get to it calm and fresh. I've got to be calm and fresh, then i will succeed"-Qondrathrax
He then did his usual intro.
"Hey, what's up guys,girls,intersex, and all other kinds of things and beings welcome to my channel. In this video, I'll be going into who I think will win the next evolution game, and if I had to guess, I'd put number 8 on top"-Qondrathrax
This was how many tens of thousands of successful content creators made a living and competed with each other. But it was also this environment that allowed those who won the games to make obscene amounts of money.
Whoever wins the game would basically become the greatest celebrity for a small amount of time in the entire universe. They would be sought out by everything and anything from game creators and films to news agency's and streamers. All looking to gain fame and fortune or in the higher level cases a powerful allie in control of 3 races.
