Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties-Chapter 414: Streamer.exe Has Ascended

Fiona followed Liline through the corridors of Luxoria Castle.

The walls dimmed where they passed, doors opening before they even reached them.

They finally reached a grand chamber where Lucius stood alone in the center.

He didn't turn as Fiona stepped in—he just spoke.

"Well?"

Fiona blinked. "Well, what?"

Lucius turned slightly, a knowing smirk on his lips.

"Now that your mind is filled with things no one on this continent should know."

"What do you think?"

Fiona threw her hands up. "Fuck, it was too amazing!"

She paced a few steps, still riding the high of it all.

"It was like… a story out of those ridiculous novels."

"The overpowered MC gets isekai'd and returns home with a god-tier system."

"Builds a secret castle with loyal killers and starts a war against the noble elites!"

She spun on her heel and pointed at him.

"Except it's not fiction. It's you. And I just got patched into the plot."

Lucius chuckled. "Yeah, yeah."

"And now you understand why I'm selective about who gets to read the script."

Fiona grinned.

"So what's my role? I mean, I know I'm the streamer."

"But with all this secrecy, half the best stuff can't even be aired."

Lucius nodded. "Correct."

"You can't stream the origins. Or our systems. Or the castle's core."

Fiona crossed her arms. "Then what can I stream?"

Lucius took a slow step forward, smirking.

"War."

Fiona raised an eyebrow. "You want me to stream the fighting?"

Lucius gave her a pointed look.

"We just declared war on Aurelius."

"If we let them control the narrative, they'll paint us as terrorists, monsters, rebels who got lucky."

He paused.

"But if you show the world the truth."

"Our reasons, our strikes, our victories—then we're not just a rebellion."

He smiled.

"We're a movement."

Fiona nodded slowly. "Okay. I'm listening."

Lucius continued.

"You'll be our voice. Our lens. You won't just stream blood."

"You'll stream meaning. Message. Symbolism. That's what Luxoria needs now."

Fiona smirked. "I already have a few ideas. But…"

She scratched her cheek.

"I'm still weak. I can't do what Liora does. Or Luna. I'm just… me."

Lucius stepped closer, placing a hand lightly on her shoulder.

"You won't be for long."

Fiona looked up at him, blinking. "What does that mean?"

Lucius's grin widened just slightly. "Follow me."

He turned and walked toward a dark corridor behind the throne dais.

Fiona blinked, then jogged after him.

"Wait—you're going to train me?"

Lucius chuckled. "Better. I'm going to build you."

Fiona's eyes lit up. "So I'm gonna be strong like Luna and Liora?"

Lucius glanced back, that same maddening smirk on his lips.

"Of course. You're Luxoria's voice now. It's only right that your voice is backed by real power."

Fiona's grin widened.

She didn't know what was waiting for her.

She didn't know what she'd become.

But she knew one thing for certain.

She wasn't just a streamer anymore.

She was Luxoria.

And the world was about to hear her roar.

Lucius stood before Fiona, his expression calm but laced with mischief.

One that always meant something devastating was coming.

"Fiona," he said softly, "please hold it in this time, okay?"

Fiona tilted her head. "Hold what in?"

Lucius didn't answer.

Instead, he raised his hand.

"System," he said clearly. "Initiate hack. Match her level to Luna and Liora."

The instant the hack activated, Fiona's eyes snapped open wide.

"W-Wait, what's hap—?!"

A surge of light exploded through her body.

She screamed, the sound sharp and raw, as her limbs locked and her entire body arched.

And then—

Fiona collapsed.

Unconscious.

Still glowing.

The air around her pulsed with residual energy, and for a moment, silence filled the room.

Loreia stepped in, arms folded, eyeing the collapsed figure with a half-smirk.

"Well," she said casually, "you really went all-in."

Lucius nodded without looking away from Fiona.

"Of course. She's one of us now."

Loreia tilted her head. "You think she'll wake up sane?"

Lucius's smile returned, slow and sharp.

"Let's find out later."

---

Fiona's eyes snapped open.

She gasped and sat up instantly, her chest heaving like she had just surfaced from underwater.

The air around her was thick.

Hot, charged, echoed with distant roars and clashing metal.

She blinked rapidly.

"What the hell…?"

She wasn't in her room. She wasn't even in Luxoria Castle.

She was in an arena.

No—a warzone.

Dust swirled. Cracked stone under her hands.

All around her, beasts fought beasts.

Some with flame erupting from their mouths, others snarling, tail-blades slicing through the air.

She saw people too.

Tamers clashing with weapons, light glowing around their wrists.

Chaos.

A battlefield of dozens.

Suddenly, something nudged her shoulder.

Fiona spun—but then exhaled sharply.

"Fionyx…"

He stood beside her, his newly evolved form blazing faintly.

His starlit eyes glowed with sharp concern as he nudged her again.

He was checking if she was fully conscious.

"Okay, buddy. I'm good. I'm awake," she murmured.

But as she stood, a flash of movement to her right made her spin.

A horned beast lunged from the smoke—jaws wide, claws poised.

Fiona barely raised her arms.

"Shit—!"

But she didn't have to.

Fionyx moved first.

He launched forward, his body reforming mid-motion into a sleek, burning predator.

He slashed the attacker in half with a single arc of light.

The beast disintegrated into glitch fragments.

Fiona's breath caught. "…Thanks."

But she didn't have long to react.

Three more creatures bounded from behind a broken column, snarling and already charging.

Her eyes widened.

"No, no, no—!"

Fionyx roared and stepped in front of her, body morphing again into a blazing wall of heat.

Fiona staggered back, and then it clicked.

The metallic interface flickered in the sky above her.

Player tags. Beast stats. Virtual construct lines.

"This is…"

She looked around again, now seeing it.

The pixel bleed in the skybox, the soft hum of system code under the sound.

"Fuck. It's a virtual battle."

A system trial.

Her trial.

She gritted her teeth.

"I have to fight. This is how I get stronger."

Another beast howled in the distance, and the ground shook under its weight.

Fiona clenched her fists.

"Damn it, Lucius… Couldn't you have given me a training manual first?"

But she cracked a grin.

"Fine. Let's dance."

She stepped forward.

"Fionyx—highlight the crowd. Let's put on a show."
