Chapter 1: Death By Banana
Jonny saints slumped in his chair, the dim shadows of the old computer screen dancing across his face. Hours sat and crawled by, save the low hum emitted from his desktop fan to break the stillness in that small cluttered apartment.His eyes were glued on the screen while his fingers absently tapped on the side of the chair.He wasn't the kind of guy that stood out, unless one counted the wrong kind, anyway. To the world, he didn't exist; to them, he was just another nameless drone within the sea of office workers, and that was perfectly okay with him.His life was monotonous, an endless series of labor and sleep. Among the people, he kept to himself everything Jonny had shared with him in his life, things which nobody knew.Not his friends that he hung out with, not the guys at work, definitely not his family. This-his addiction-had been buried deep inside his brain, in those corners of his mind where he just refused to go or confront it head-on.Jonny saints was hooked on adult fil
Chapter 2: Celebrity Hunter System
Chapter 2: Celebrity Hunter SystemJonny's eyes snapped open. He gasped sharply, sucking in a lungful of air as if he had been drowning.His entire body jerked violently. A throbbing pain exploded behind his skull, forcing him to clutch the back of his head."...I'm... alive?" He questioned.The dim light of his apartment greeted him and the old desktop monitor still glowed faintly in the darkness.The video continued playing in the background and the untouched pizza sat on the table, now cold enough to rival a block of ice.Everything... Everything was exactly the same.Jonny blinked several times before slowly sitting up. His muscles ached, his neck felt stiff.His heartbeat pounded violently against his chest."I... didn't die?" He asked again.His fingers instinctively touched the back of his head but there was no blood, no wound, nothing."...Was it all just a dream?" He frowned. "No, It had felt too real. That endless darkness and that mysterious voice..." He thought to himself
Chapter 3: Mission: Becoming Somebody 1
The next morning, the first thing Jonny Saint did after waking up was stare at the ceiling."...Yep." he added "I'm definitely dead."He remained motionless on the worn-out couch he had somehow managed to crawl onto during the night.The translucent blue screen still floated quietly in front of him.----------------------------Main Quest: Become recognized by 100 unique people.Progress: 0/100Time Remaining: 6 Days 14 Hours 37 Minutes----------------------------"So you're still here." Jonny groaned.The screen didn't respond. He rubbed his eyes hard enough to hurt, but when he looked again...The screen was still there."Nope." He said grabbing the nearest pillow and smacked himself across the face.Nothing changed. "...Ow."'Maybe... Maybe I suffered a concussion after all.People hallucinated after hitting their heads, didn't they?' he thought to himself try.That had to be it. There was absolutely no way some magical game system had appeared in his apartment because he'd slip
Chapter 4: Becoming Somebody 2
Jonny Saint stood frozen in the middle of the warehouse break room. His eyes remained fixed on the giant television screen as Hunter Leon Valor smiled for the cameras.For a brief moment, jonny imagined himself standing there. Being admired and respected.Having people actually know his name.The thought felt so foreign that he almost laughed."...Impossible." he told himself.The System interrupted his thoughts.--------------Attention Energy Detected.Nearby individuals are directing their attention toward Hunter Leon Valor.Attention flows regardless of distance.------------Jonny frowned. "So, They're making him stronger?"[Affirmative.]"Just by talking about him?"[Affirmative.]"What if they've never met him?"[Irrelevant. Recognition is sufficient.]Jonny's expression became serious."So. If the entire world knew my name..."The System answered before he could finish.[Your potential would increase exponentially.]His heart skipped a beat and the realization down on him. Thi
Chapter 5: One Name Remember
Chapter 5: One Name RememberedJonny woke to the shrill ringing of his alarm.Beep! Beep! Beep!He groaned and slapped his phone until the noise stopped.The first thing he saw wasn't the cracked ceiling, It was the floating blue window.----------------Main QuestBecome Recognized by 100 Unique PeopleProgress:0/100Time Remaining:5 Days 13 Hours 18 Minutes----------------Jonny sighed heavily."...Still zero."His eyes drifted toward his phone lying on the bedside table.Maybe... Just Maybe his video had exploded overnight.His heart pounded with cautious excitement as he unlocked the screen, He opened the app.Three views, Still zero likes, zero comments, zero new followers."Guess the algorithm hates me." He murmured.The familiar notification appeared.[Correction. The algorithm is functioning normally. Your content just failed to capture attention.]"Thanks for the emotional support." Jonny said rolling his eyes After a quick shower and an even quicker breakfast consisting of t
Chapter 6: Price For Attention
Chapter 6: The Price of AttentionThe next morning, sunlight streamed through the cracked blinds, landing squarely on Jonny's face.His eyes slowly fluttered open.Before he could even stretch, a familiar blue screen greeted him.----------Host: Jonny SaintRank: UnawakenedLevel: 1Fame Points: 10Attention Rank: NobodySkills:• Friendly Presence Lv.1Main Quest: Become Recognized by 100 Unique PeopleProgress:1/100Time Remaining: 4 Days 11 Hours 46 Minutes-------------Jonny couldn't stop smiling."Ten Fame Points..."He whispered the words to himself as if they were a lottery jackpot.It wasn't much but they were his.His first proof that the System actually worked.He climbed out of bed with far more energy than usual."Maybe changing my life isn't impossible after all from just another nobody from a thug to only God knows what the future hold." He thought to himself.As he brushed his teeth, an idea suddenly struck him. His eyes widened."...I'm an idiot." He quickly spat i
Chapter 7: The Mana Apocalypse (Back Story
Chapter 7: The Mana ApocalypseThe warehouse floor echoed with the rhythmic hum of conveyor belts. Boxes slid across steel rollers. Forklifts beeped as they weaved between towering stacks of cargo.Jonny wiped the sweat from his forehead before lifting another carton onto a wooden pallet.His body moved on instinct.Lift.Stack.Turn.Repeat.It had become second nature after nearly three years of working at Graystone Logistics.Normally, he would've been counting the hours until lunch but today his thoughts were elsewhere."Become unforgettable..."How exactly would an ordinary warehouse worker become unforgettable? Without embarrassing himself, Or getting arrested."...Definitely not robbing a bank," he muttered."What?" Mark, the loudest worker in the warehouse, looked over. "You say something?"Jonny quickly shook his head. "N-No. Just talking to myself."Mark laughed. "You've gotta stop doing that, man. It makes you look crazy."Jonny forced an awkward smile. "If only you knew...
Chapter 8: Hero
The break room fell into complete silence, not a single person blinked nor spoke. Every pair of eyes remained fixed on the television.The enormous black Gate hanging over Harbor City continued to split apart as the air around it distorted violently and purple lightning crashed across the sky.The cameraman stumbled backward."H-Hold the shot!"The image shook violently. Just then, Something emerged. A massive claw it was jet black. Large enough to crush an armored truck.It slowly gripped the edge of the Gate before pulling itself forward. The creature's head followed, it resembled a wolf...That would be If wolves stood nearly twenty feet tall. Its crimson eyes glowed like burning coals and rows of razor-sharp teeth stretched into a terrifying grin.The news anchor's voice trembled."Confirmed visual... A B-Rank Shadow Direwolf..."The monster released a deafening roar.ROOOOOAAARRR!!Even through the television speakers, the sound sent chills through the warehouse. One of Jonny's
Chapter 9: Hunter examination
Chapter 9: The Hunter ExaminationJonny stood quietly outside the warehouse after his shift ended. The evening breeze carried the smell of rain."Leon Valor. The Hunters. Every one of them possessed overwhelming strength yes, but what came first?" He questioned as he walked home. "Is it Power, or is it fame? He thought.Jonny sighed. "...System."A familiar blue window materialized before him.[Awaiting Host Query.]He shoved both hands into his pockets."You've been telling me about Hunters ever since you appeared."[Correct.]"You've shown me Gates, Monsters, Mana and everything other thing.""But..." He added as he looked at the evening sky"What does any of that have to do with me?"[Everything.] The system answered."I don't understand." Jonny said.[Without strength... Your fame will eventually fade. And without influence, your strength will eventually stagnate.]"...So I need both."[Correct.]Jonny hesitated before asking the next question. a question had been bothering him s
Chapter 10: Awakening Test
Chapter 10: The Awakening TestThe examination hall was eerily silent as hundreds of candidates watched as Jonny walked toward the Awakening Crystal.The crowd whispered among themselves."That's the old guy.""The one with no mana.""I still can't believe he actually stayed.""He's about to embarrass himself."Jonny heard every word and just ignored them.His footsteps echoed across the polished marble floor.Soon, he stood before the Awakening Crystal.Up close, it was even more magnificent.The translucent crystal towered nearly three meters high, its interior swirling with rivers of blue mana.It hummed softly, filling the room with an ancient pressure that made breathing feel heavier.The chief examiner stepped forward.He was a stern middle-aged man with silver hair and sharp eyes. "Place your hand on the crystal." He ordered.Jonny nodded. "...Like this?""Yes." The man added. "Remain still until the examination is complete."Jonny swallowed as his palm slowly reached forward.
