Anger and Frustration

It had been two long years since the incident that had sent Haruto to a place that transcended the boundaries of the known universe. In those two years, he had tried to move on and adapt to his power. One significant adaptation was the cameralink he had attached to Saitama, the hero with the godlike power to defeat any opponent with a single, effortless punch. The cameralink allowed Haruto to capture Saitama's actions without needing to be in constant pursuit, making it significantly easier to document the hero's life.

Haruto had given precise instructions to the cameralink, requesting that it capture only the most crucial and eventful moments in Saitama's life. These included intense battles, important discussions, and other notable events, but Haruto had been careful not to intrude on Saitama's personal life or privacy. However, as he reviewed the footage the cameralink had gathered over these two years, Haruto came to a disappointing realization - there was nothing in these clips that remotely resembled the manga he had known from his original world. Instead, he watched as Saitama, over time, had grown disillusioned with his own incredible power.

In the beginning, Saitama had enjoyed the thrill of defeating monstrous foes, and he had been the embodiment of excitement and energy. Yet, as time passed, that thrill had waned, leaving in its place a persistent and overpowering sense of boredom. Whenever Saitama came face to face with yet another monstrous threat, he now had a habit of instantly convincing himself that the battle would last longer than just one punch, only to be disappointed once again when he emerged victorious with that same, dreaded single strike.

With this persistent boredom came an emotional detachment that was hard to ignore. Saitama had become a shadow of his former self, his face a near-constant mask of indifference and his responses to the world lethargic. He resembled the Saitama of the current manga, which was a stark contrast to the energetic and expressive hero that Haruto had come to admire. The footage did nothing to quell his frustration. Exasperated, Haruto decided to delete most of the recorded content, retaining only those clips he felt might prove valuable in the future.

Yet, in this moment of frustration and disappointment, Haruto couldn't help but be drawn to the tantalizing "View For More" option that remained locked on his system window. The tantalizing message accompanying it stated, "You need to upload a series or movie on outofrealm.tube and earn 5 gold coins to unlock." Haruto knew that the solution to his current dilemma lay behind that lock, and he was determined to find a way to unlock it.

His decision was made, and his frustration fueled his determination as he made his way to Saitama's apartment, descending the stairs with urgency. When he entered Saitama's place, he found the hero in his costume, engrossed in a television program. Saitama turned towards Haruto, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What's up, Takahashi?"

Haruto, still feeling the weight of his frustration, wasted no time in explaining his predicament to the hero. "I have an option in my system called 'View For More,' but it's still locked. To unlock it, I need to create a series or movie. I want to make a series about your life, your boredom from defeating everyone in one punch, and your everyday money problems."

Saitama, with a mischievous grin playing on his lips, replied, "So, you want to film everything, even if I have constipation?"

Haruto was taken aback by the unexpected response. He stammered, "Yes!...no!...wait, what?"

Saitama chuckled, his sense of humor breaking through his normally stoic demeanor. "Alright, I get it. But what's in it for me?"

Haruto, realizing he needed a convincing offer, thought for a moment before responding, "I'll let you fight me. Maybe that will help you get rid of your boredom."

Saitama's eyes widened in surprise. He thought that Haruto might be playing a prank on him, but the promise of a real challenge sparked a glimmer of hope in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, Saitama agreed, "Alright, you've got yourself a deal."

Haruto was a little hesitant, his thoughts racing as he considered the implications of this agreement. Would his invincibility hold up against Saitama's legendary power? He had to find out.

Before they embarked on their series-making endeavor, Saitama had one small request. He told Haruto that he needed to go to the store to purchase some crabs, which were currently on sale.

Haruto readily agreed, and the two of them set out for the store. As they walked along the bustling streets of their strange world, Haruto's eyes caught sight of a figure in the distance, someone who seemed oddly familiar, though he couldn't quite place where he had seen the person before. This individual was clad in a lab coat, and he appeared to be in a hurry as he bumped into Haruto.

Haruto's instincts kicked in, telling him that he needed to follow this man, that there was more to the story than met the eye. He quickly informed Saitama that he would catch up with him later and swiftly broke away from their path. With practiced stealth, he shadowed the mysterious man.

As he tailed the lab-coated figure, Haruto's curiosity grew. Who was this person, and why my instincts saying to follow this man? The man entered a seemingly ordinary house, and Haruto knew he had to proceed with caution. He slipped inside, careful not to make a sound or draw attention to himself.

As he moved deeper into the house, Haruto's senses went on high alert. What he discovered in the next room left him thunderstruck. Before him were two individuals, each of them instantly recognizable from the pages of the manga that had shaped Haruto's perception of this world.

In front of him, a bodybuilder-like figure was vigorously working out, his muscles straining under the immense weight of the exercise. The lab-coated man from earlier was busy with something on a nearby table. In a flash, it hit Haruto - he knew these two all too well, not as friendly acquaintances, but as the villains who had persistently incited his frustration and anger throughout the manga.

These were the individuals who had wreaked havoc in B City, causing unimaginable destruction and taking countless lives without a shred of remorse. They were the embodiment of chaos and chaos alone. Haruto had held onto the hope that they were fictional characters, creatures of pure fiction. Yet here they were, very real and very much alive.

As he watched the bodybuilder in awe and disbelief, Haruto couldn't help himself. The words tumbled from his lips as he stepped out of his stealth mode. "So, you've always dreamed of becoming the strongest, haven't you?"

The bodybuilder turned toward him, a look of bewilderment on his face. The lab-coated man stopped what he was doing.
