After closing the system, Lukas took a deep breath and walked slowly toward the same path he had used to get to where he met the tiger. However, before he could do anything stupid, a new notification arrived.
[ You received a new like! +1 ]
"Hm, so I've already received a like? That's good." Lukas smiled, and then another notification came.
[ You received a new like! +1 ]
[ You received a new like! +1 ]
[ You received a new like! +1 ]
[ You received a new like! +1 ]
There were four notifications at once.
"Five likes? Hey, this is going faster than I expected." It had only been a few minutes since Lukas posted his video, so he was surprised. But it didn't stop there. With each step Lukas took, a new notification arrived.
[ You received a new like! +3 ]
[ You received a new like! +5 ]
[ You received a new like! +7 ]
[ You received a new like! +10 ]
In addition to the numerous notifications, the number continued to increase gradually. Lukas began to feel overwhelmed by the notifications appearing before his eyes.
He even thought about turning off the notifications, but receiving them made Lukas more excited and satisfied. Lukas felt his heart skip a beat every time a new notification arrived. "Damn, there are so many!" He exclaimed excitedly.
A big smile appeared on his face without him realizing it, and he started to tremble.

"WHAT IS THIS? WHAT HAPPENED?" He couldn't see his channel through the system; he could only post the video. He didn't know what was happening, but his video had probably gone viral.
He was so excited that he completely forgot he was inside a dungeon.
When he noticed, he already had over 800 likes and more than 200 accumulated comments. It was a staggering number. And the numbers kept rising.
"Alright, I need to calm down. When I get out of here, I'll see what happened. First, let's use these likes and get something from the store."
Lukas opened the system store called [Media Market] and started looking for something interesting. His accumulated likes were already close to a thousand, so he had much to spend.
Potions, weapons, armor, rings.
He wore the black armor he had bought from those men underneath his sweatshirt. It wasn't that good since Lukas had suffered some damage without even being touched by the tiger.
But he didn't think it would be worth buying better armor now.
"But a weapon would be interesting."
Lukas found a dagger. He prefers a slightly larger blade like his current sword, but a dagger is good enough.
[ Blood Dagger ]
Rank - B
Attack Power - 546
Durability - Rank B
"This is good. Its attack power is high. I don't know how high the sword's attack power I bought is since I can't see it... But I'm sure this one is better." For comparison, the basic one-handed sword had only 25 attack power.
And its value was quite decent. It would cost 400 likes.
"My likes have already passed a thousand, so I think I can spend 400 likes." Lukas had spent considerable money on his sword, but he would replace it. He felt a little sad, but it was necessary.
His new weapon was on a completely different level.
When he bought the dagger, it appeared in his hand as if by magic.
Its handle was black with some red spiderweb-like patterns. Its blade was silver, with some red details on the edge. It was similar to his current sword but less flashy.
As soon as Lukas swung it, he could already notice the difference.
"It's much lighter. I can move more easily. Plus, it's incredibly sharp." Lukas looked at the blade's edge. It could probably cut through a monster's flesh as if it were cutting through butter.
He was satisfied with it.
"Now, let's buy some potions. But the high-level ones."
Lukas thought about buying low-level potions like the ones he sold, but he knew it wouldn't be enough. So, he spent 200 likes and bought two potions: one to increase his strength and one to increase his agility.
The effect was potent. His strength would increase by 60% and agility by 60%.
[ You received a new like! +50 ]
And even though he had already spent 600 likes, the accumulated likes remained above 1000 and kept rising madly. So, Lukas decided to be a little bolder.
[ Strength Boost Ring ]
Rank - A
Effect - Permanently increases user's strength by 20%
Value - 600 Likes
Without thinking twice, Lukas bought it.
A shiny ring with a red gemstone appeared in his hand. When Lukas put the ring on his finger, he felt his body becoming lighter.
The effect was extraordinary.
He stomped on the ground and punched the wall without worrying about getting hurt.
"Yes, this is great."
Even after buying a ring, his likes remained at 800 and kept rising.
"I already got a new weapon, potions, and a ring to permanently increase my strength (as long as I wear it). What do I do now? Better weapons are costly. Should I buy a ring to increase my agility too?"
Lukas thought it was a good idea, so he bought it.
There were rings and more powerful items, but it was good enough for now. Lukas put on the shiny ring with a bluish gemstone on his other finger. Both rings were on his left hand.
And after equipping both rings, Lukas opened his Status.

His strength and agility had increased by a rank due to the rings.
"This is amazing..."
