"Could this be a new type of fraudulent website?"
In a dimly lit rental apartment, a slightly immature teenager stared at the computer screen, confusion etched across his face.
Jiang Xia had been editing anime videos just moments ago when a strange website popped up unbidden.
A website called Projection of All Worlds.
He tried closing it, but the window wouldn't budge.
"What's going on here?" Jiang Xia muttered under his breath.
As someone who had reincarnated into this world, he initially felt excited about the prospect of using memories from his past life to succeed.
But reality quickly slapped him in the face. This world wasn't much different from his previous one—he was still an ordinary guy struggling to get by.
Things like novels, anime, movies, and music that he once thought he could plagiarize already existed here. So much for becoming a winner in life.
Without any special skills, Jiang Xia resorted to what he knew best: video editing.
In his past life, he worked as a freelance editor, posting tutorial videos online to scrape together a living.
Now, though, even that meager income seemed out of reach.
But now he suddenly received an invitation from this website called Projection of All Worlds.
That's why the sudden appearance of this mysterious website intrigued him.
According to its instructions, all he had to do was upload a video, and he'd receive rewards based on its popularity. Even first-time users got a hefty starting bonus: 2,135,520 yen.
"Two million yen? Seriously?" Jiang Xia frowned, skeptical.
This is a full 2,135,520 yen! Jiang Xai was worried whether this was a scam website.
Still, desperation outweighed caution. With rent overdue and barely enough money for meals, he decided to take the risk.
The only thing he worries about is that the other party will not pay after uploading the video he edited with great effort.
If it turned out to be fake, he could always go back to being an "up master."
So, Jiang Xia immediately went to this website to register an account and bind a bank card.
After registering an account and linking his bank card, Jiang Xia set to work.
He decided to create a compilation video—a review of famous high-energy scenes from popular anime.
"Anime is topical, easy to edit, and doesn't require much technical skill," he reasoned.
"Just splice together exciting clips, add some flashy transitions, and call it a day."
An hour later, the video was ready. Titled "Comprehensive Anime: Review of the Top 10 High-Burning Famous Scenes" it showcased iconic moments guaranteed to grab attention.
With a deep breath, Jiang Xia uploaded the video to the Projection of All Worlds website. Moments later, his phone buzzed with notifications.
He received several text messages.
Jiang Xai took out his phone and found that it was a text message from the bank.
'XX Bank has received 2,135,520 yen'
Jiang Xia froze, staring at the message in disbelief.
"Damn... It's real?" Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment.
What is the origin of this website? Just register and upload a video to get a reward of 2,135,520 yen.
Questions swirled in his mind. What kind of website operated ? How did they profit? And why choose him, an unknown editor, to participate?
But the money was already in his account. For now, he decided not to overthink it."
If I'm getting paid, I won't complain," he shrugged.
Since I just registered and posted the first video, I was rewarded with 2,135,520 yen. Are there any other benefits?
Curious about other benefits, Jiang Xia checked the author dashboard. It resembled platforms like Station B, with likes, coins, shares, and collections contributing to rewards.
Just as he explored further, another email arrived.
[ Hello, Mr. Jiang Xia, I am the operations officer of Projection of All Worlds. The video you posted, "Comprehensive Anime: Review of the Top 10 High-Burning Famous Scenes" is currently under review. Once approved, it will be recommended to audiences in other worlds.]
"Other worlds?" Jiang Xia blinked, puzzled.
Had the operator made a typo? Or was this part of the site's gimmick? Either way, he didn't dwell on it.
After replying with a curt "OK," he shut off the computer and treated himself to a well-deserved meal.
By the time he returned home, it was nearly midnight. Exhausted from hours of editing, he took a quick shower and collapsed into bed.
After all, it is very tiring to edit videos in front of the computer all the time. Especially the eyes are more tired.
Unbeknownst to him, just after midnight, another email arrived.
The website sent an email to inform him that his video passed the review.
