Well, he kind of understood what she was implying but his interest in becoming a content creator was to prove himself that he too was capable of something, not to mention to get a name for himself, a recognition of his gaming skills which no one other than his family had given him, at that time.
10-year-old him didn't know how express those thoughts in proper words, so instead had resorted to a hissy fit and temper tantrum, which didn't do much good to his cause. Fortunately for him, his father who had been there along understood what he was trying to say persuaded his mom to look from his point of view. And after two hours of conversation which involved his puppy dog eyes, his father's persuasion skills and some logical points from his sister, they had convinced his mom, but on one condition that his activities will be monitored occasionally for his own safety and that he shouldn't reveal his identity until he became 18 years which was fine with him. And that was the beginning of his wonderful journey in the world of social media. Initially he wasn't that much of streamer and was getting only views but that didn't stop him from experimenting.
The funny part was that people started liking his content the moment he stopped pretending who he was aka his real-life character, the loud mouth, chatter box and the joker. And once he had gained enough attention, then people started noticing his gaming skills and they started watching his channel for his skills instead of his persona alone. Now currently he is having 39.9 million subscribers for YouTube channel alone, his other social media platforms like Jtube, Twitch, Twitter has around 20 million subscribers and followers each. And he is already a millionaire with a steady income.
Not that it matters at least for his mom since they have more than enough wealth for both him and his sister. And not mention both his mom and dad have no living relatives making them a sole heir to everything. But it did matter to him, every time he achieved a milestone, he had taken out the family for dinner and had presented everyone a gift, a gold necklace for his mother, a sturdy katana for his sister which had a mysterious aura around it and according to the person who sold it was of mysterious origin and a new laptop with latest specs for his father. It was the least he could do for them after all they had done for him.
Now that he has done all the work in the house. And he had already recorded the game play of the latest game Blood borne which had released recently, he just has to edit certain stuffs, mostly related to the audio. He has the habit of compiling different ways he had died in a game and uploading it once he had fully uploaded the entire game play for fun. Not many people do that but that's what makes him unique from other content creators. Though it was his dad who had suggested it, his words were "Your reactions are really hilarious when your character dies in the game so why don't you try uploading once and see how it works". And it was an instant hit and the viewers started requesting that he do it for all the games he had done so far. It's as if his dad knew the outcome. Well considering how his father is still a world-renowned psychiatrist, he probably understood the viewers and their mentality.
So, it took another two hours to edit and cross check the video he had made to make sure there weren't any mistakes and it took another hour to upload the video in all his social media account. And by the time he was done it was half past six, as much as he wanted to order his dinner outside, he didn't because his mother would have thrown a fit if he had done it in her presence calling him lazy and irresponsible for buying outside when he can cook a perfect dinner with the things available at home. He sighed and proceeded to cook his dinner which he was able to finish by 8.
Dinner was a silent affair, as far as he remembers the dining table wasn't this silent and he never had his dinner alone, either one of his parents and sister would be there and if his parents weren't there then his sister would be there. So, eating the dinner alone was a different experience and to be frank he was feeling lonely already. And add to the fact there was a really uncomfortable feeling accompanying the loneliness which made it even worse. It's as if these feelings were some sort of foreboding to something bad or terrible. He tried to ignore the feeling as best as he could but that didn't help much, it became over bearing to the point that he had lost his appetite and as a result stored the food in the fridge so that he can eat it later if he felt like it. He sighed, nothing good will come by delving on things which he doesn't know or doesn't understand and besides it might be nothing and that him having dinner alone might be affecting him psychologically and by tomorrow everything will be all right or so he thought.
