I am a Hyperstar!

Jordan Lin was originally a very ordinary doctor in Orlando, just another victim of Asian Tiger-Parenting in 21st Century America. Growing up, he had dreamt of joining the NBA and bringing the Orlando Magic to 7 consecutive titles. Why 7? Because Michael Jordan brought the Chicago Bulls 6 titles. And being a true blue Asian, he couldn’t accept being 2nd best, even if it was to the Greatest Of All Time. Alas, his par- ehm, life intervened, and at age 28, he found himself as a doctor/director in his best friend’s Pharmaceutical Company. However, Jordan Lin was tragically framed by his best friend in a corporate scandal, and he was accidentally killed in the process! Unable to accept his death, Jordan Lin rebelled against fate! He unleashed his secret inner powers and summoned the elemen - just kidding. He yelled! He screamed! He cursed! But he still died in the end. In the end? Actually, no. It wasn’t the end. It turned out to be just the beginning. Jordan Lin woke up and found himself in a parallel world! It’s still Earth, and it was still the same era. But where were the celebrities he knew? Where was the GOAT Michael Jordan!? Where was Lionel Messi? Denzel Washington? Barack Obama? Heck, even the songs were all different! And the brands! Where’s Amazon? Google? Tesla?? Armed with the incredibly potent knowledge of his previous world and a ridiculously overpowered System, Jordan Lin was ready to take on the world! Basketball Superstar? Showbiz Superstar? Billionaire Superstar? I’ll be them all! I am a… HYPERSTAR!

Whatever mess he had stored up for himself later on in school, he didn't care. 

Only 1 thing was important.

He had gained enough points to play the Wheel of Fortune.

Woo hoo!

Let's give it a go and see what sort of fortune he will make!

"Jackpot, I want to play the wheel of fortune. Let's do this!" Jordan Lin said excitedly.

Immediately, a Wheel appeared in his mindspace. There was a needle pointing upwards and a wheel that was divided into several parts. Half of the wheel was blue in colour and the word "Consumption Items" were written on it in Gold. 

The other half were divided into three red, green and yellow parts, with the red "Stat Items" and green "Skill Items" taking up almost all of it. Only a small sliver of space was reserved for the yellow "Shop Items".

[Wheel of Fortune starting]

Whoosh. 

The Wheel of Fortune started to spin rapidly.

"I don't even know what I am hoping for." Jordan Lin sighed. 

"Seeing that the Consumption category is so big, it's probably the worst of the lot. Stats and Skills will be nice. But I wonder what that Shop category does. Unlock the shop maybe? And increase the number of items I can access? Ah who knows. Just give me something good."

Jordan Lin's eyes gleamed in anticipation, all thoughts of the beautiful Feng Xia gone from his mind.

One round.

Two rounds.

Five rounds.

The Wheel of Fortune finally slowed to a crawl.

"Ah! At this rate, it will probably end up in the Consumption Category! Darn it. Move. Move abit more and reach the Skills Category!"

The Wheel of Fortune continued its slow crawl across the massive Consumption Category.

But alas, Jordan Lin's luck wasn't much to speak of, and the Wheel stopped around half an inch away from the border of Consumption and Skill.

"Ah damn it. My 28 years worth of hard earned Reputation boils down to this Consumption Item. Jackpot! This has better be good." Jordan Lin growled at the System.

[Wheel of Fortune completed]

[1 Consumption Item received]

[Mini Lucky Die - Grants the Gamer a random duration Mini Lucky Aura]

[1: 1 hour]

[2: 2 hours]

[3: 3 hours]

[4: 4 hours]

[5: 5 hours]

[6: 6 hours]

"Eh, this doesn't seem too bad. So it basically gives me at maximum an entire school day's worth of good luck. Alright. I'll use it as soon as I reach school. Give me a very very very good first day in this parallel world please!" Jordan Lin cried out fervently to his good buddy, Jackpot. 

But of course, Jackpot remained silent. 

Bro. It's a System, not a talking buddy!

The bus traveled smoothly down the various roads and picked up five more kiddos before finally reaching school safe and sound.

The entire way to school, all Jordan Lin could hear were discussions on how miserable Jordan Lin's death would be when he reached school.

"You think Gordon will break his legs first or twist his neck first?"

"Hmph. He actually dared to sit next to the Demo- I mean, the Goddess. Gordon will definitely break his legs first for daring to bring him next to the Goddess, and then stomp on his ass for daring to sit next to her!"

"Yeah, he'll definitely die a miserable death. Didn't he know that Gordon has been chasing after the Goddess for three years? It's not like it's a secret."

"Pfffft. Yeah, it's definitely not a secret, not after Gordon beat up the last guy who confessed to the Goddess! I heard he is still in a coma."

"Really? He hasn't woken up after so long? How long has it been? Three months?"

"Closer to six months."

"Holy shit. Jordan is so dead."

Reputation + 2

Reputation + 3

Jordan Lin's mouth twitched a little at their words.

What the hell? Sitting next to the pretty girl have such dire consequences? He was actually at risk of being beaten up into a coma?! 

Who the hell was this Gordon guy? Why hasn't the police captured him? Why hasn't the courts sentenced him to jail for assault?

If I, a righteous and highly skilled and super innocent doctor could be sentenced to life time jail, surely a hooligan such as Gordon could be jailed too?!

But sadly for our bro, that is not how life works. 

The evil roam free while the righteous are suppressed.

This is the suffering of humanity.

Might… is right!

"I am not going to take this lying down. I've already died once under the hands of evil men like that damned Jason Green. This time… this time for sure… I will stand up for myself, and I will stomp on evil people! 

To the maximum.

I will stomp on them… until they cry out for their mommies.

And then I will stomp on them some more. Until they cry out for their daddies!

Die m***herf***er die!"

Jordan Lin clenched his fist as a bloodthirsty aura of pure wrath radiated out from his body and caused the entire bus to be shrouded in icy ch- eh, wait a minute. It's not that kind of novel.

Jordan Lin merely clenched his fist in great determination.

"My first evil victim… that Gordon guy! Alright [Mini Lucky Die], I choose you!" 

[Mini Lucky Die activated]

[You have rolled a 6]

[6 hour Mini Lucky Aura activated]

[5.59.59…]

[5.59.58…]

A small countdown counter appeared on the top right corner of his vision. 

"Yes!!! A 6! I actually got a max roll!! Wahahahaha! My luck is truly awesome. Amazing! Wahahahahaha!" Jordan Lin's mood skyrocketed from wallowing in the muddy waters of anger straight into the stratosphere of jubilation.

Our bro is… very easily satisfied huh?

When the bus finally pulled up in front of Beltech High School's main entrance, Jordan Lin was ready to rumble.

It was good that he was because a huge crowd had gathered right outside the school.

Apparently someone in the bus had informed Gordon about Jordan Lin sitting next to Goddess Feng Xia and asking her out for a game of basketball!

Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know.
