In a very dark room, there was a guy. He looked like a very average man. Dark hair, dark eyes, he was somewhat thin, and normal in height.
He wore a hoodie and short pants, along with socks, and a pair of unmatching slippers.
His name was Ashida.
`I have to win this session. I will not enter the tournament finals if I don't win,ยด he thought, pressing very quickly on his keyboard.
Ashida played video games all the time, at least when he wasn't busy reading his favorite manga called "One Piece".
He kept doing that even after he finished school. In a matter of fact, he now had more time for those things.
Ashida played a very popular game which he liked, and was one of the best players in the world. He participated in a competition of it for two days straight.
He barely ate anything, and didn't sleep at all.
While playing, Ashida suddenly lost his focus for a second, and couldn't feel his hands. `My heart feels like it's about to damn burst... What is this feeling?`
He felt like he couldn't think straight anymore, and could no longer see anything.
The feeling in his heart increased, and so he fell on the floor from his chair, seeing only darkness.
Woosh...
`This wind is so nice,` Ashida thought, leaning against a tree with the sea in his sight.
There were birds flying around in the sky, and it looked like it was around the evening, as the sun started to come down.
"Wait, what the fuck? Where am I?" he then said, after realizing the situation he was in.
He quickly lifted his new slightly long hair that covered his face, and was confused by what he saw.

"How come I'm still alive? I thought I was done for already," he said to himself.
He came back to his senses, and looked at the screen that floated in front of him.
He frowned slightly, then opened his eyes in excitement. `Oh shit, this thing looks exactly like the status screens in RPG games!`
`So that's like, my status? I really don't understand this,` he thought.
`My body feels so strange, as well.`
He started reading the screen, then thought `What does 'Will' even mean? I never saw it in an RPG game before.`
`Looks like it is locked. That TP thing, too.`
`Well, better worry about all that later.`
Ashida started standing up, but he felt really weird. He was taller, and quite buffed.
`Where in the world am I, anyway?` he then thought.
Ding!

Ashida hesitated after seeing the screen `So there are quests, too? Seems promising.`
He then read through the quest, and when he finished, he touched the 'Yes', and the screen was replaced with a new one.

Ashida looked at the screen, smiled, then said `I first need to find out where I am, and what's going on.`
He took another look around, then started walking.
After a few minutes, Ashida found out that he was on an island, a pretty big one at that.
He saw a town in the distance, and quickly headed towards it.
When he reached the town, he heard laughs and feasting sounds coming from a pub close to him. He didn't go inside so that he could complete the quest faster.
He kept walking around, and suddenly, saw something that looked like an abandoned shack, behind the buildings at the town.
He walked over to check it out, then. looked inside the window. He suddenly saw an old man sitting there, reading a book.
Ashida hesitated for a second. He saw that the man had something floating above his head.
Hisamatsu Junji, Lvl 4
He looked surprised, and thought `So other people also have levels? This shit is juat getting weirder and weirder.`
The guy who sat inside lifted his head up, looked at Ashida, then opened the door.
"Yes, who are you looking for?" he asked in a lazy voice, as if he was going to fall asleep in any second.
"I'm sorry, but I think I hit my head, and now I can't really remember anything that happened..."
"Can I stay around in your shack until I can find out what's going on?" He looked around the shack, and noticed the pile of books inside.
Ashida looked even closer, and saw that all of the books were adult books.
Boop!
Skill obtained through a special action! By watching the surrounding, and closely looking at something, skill 'Observe' has been unlocked!
"Hm... What's your name?" Hisamatsu asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ashida ignored the screen that popped, and looked back at the guy.
"My name is Ashida, but that is pretty much all I know."
"Okay. The only thing you can sleep on is that pile of straw, anyway."
Ashida told him he didn't mind. He then thanked him, and slowly entered the shack.
"I'm Hisamatsu, by the way, and you better be silent, or I'll kick you out!"
Ashida headed to the pile of straw, and said "Don't worry, you won't even notice that I'm here."
Then, as Ashida took a seat, multiple screens popped.
