01 - I thought I was Average!!
Loren Salvare awoke with drool dripping from his lips.
While wiping the unpleasant liquid from his face, he turned around and flipped the pillow to a more comfortable side.
Feeling lost, he began to ponder life while muttering about how a man as perfect, handsome, wealthy, strong, brave, and intelligent as himself could still be single.(A: yuck!)
In the midst of his narcissistic thought, he noticed three flickering dots in the upper right corner of his field of vision. He tried to reach out to them, curious, while trying to remember if he had ever placed lights like these in his room.
After he reached on them, a floating glass-like object appeared out of nowhere, scaring Loren and making him jump out of his bed.
"WTF in What?"
"The heck is this? Why am I hallucinating when I don't do drugs and am not schizophrenic?"
Loren Salvare, perplexed, muttered these under his breath. (A:I can't think of a better way to put it.)
He tried to back away, wary and bewildered, but the floating thing followed. He attempted to punch and throw the object, but his hands simply passed through it.
"What are you?!?"Loren CALMLY questioned.
(Dis crackhead expects a window pane to speak ;])
[I am your System, and I was created to assist you in your journey to realize your dreams.]
Loren froze when he heard that, his eyes as wide as baseballs.
"What the f**k is going on? Is it possible that I'm still dreaming!? Is it possible that I've finally lost it? Is the government testing bioweapons?" He shook his head, while being visibly shaken.
[Host does not need to be afraid because I was created solely for your benefit, not to harm you—]
"You are currently causing me harm! Stupid fu - Oh, no! You are driving me insane! ...Wait, am I really crazy? h-hell no..."
[The host was found to be agitated as a result of the first encounter with the System.]
[Calm yer Tits applied]
Loren was startled by a warm sensation in his head... and chest, which caused him to calm down. He exhaled deeply and said
"Okay... so what's going on here?"
[As I previously stated, I am your System created to assis—
"Already heard that. What I mean is...where are you from? Who created you? Why me?"
[Your mo—I mean, it's much better for you if you stay ignorant of such things, Host]
"I heard you c*nt."
[... Host is advised to refrain from swearing at the system so that our relationship is not harmed while we are together]
"Oh, you're gonna cry? Whatever. You're just a hallucination, don't try to boss me around."
Loren was finally able to analyze the situation in front of him as he calmed down.

"Like a game, huh?" What do you think? What is this? What's the deal with INT being so high? I'm a proud dumbass, and that is something I'm aware of. As a result, I conclude that 15 is the av-"
[Ten is the average number of points in each category for a normal person, Host.]
"Aye, you're really a hallucination created by my brain, huh?" Oh, my narcissism.
'At the very least, my Charm ain't a lie hehehe.'
"Hey, System, what's the deal with SP?" "Is it like a skill point or something?"
[...SP or Status Points can be used to either upgrade or degrade your status by adding or subtracting them. Example: Adding Status Points to Height will make you taller, while subtracting Status Points will make you shorter.]
"Okay...hmmn But how do you get them? Is there anything like a quest? or do I have to go around killing monsters?"
[I will assign you quests, and completing them will grant you a certain number of Status Points.]
"But I don't see any quest panel right here."
[It will appear once you have finished one.]
"Makes sense. but where did I got these 20 status points?"
[Beginner Pack.]
"Makes sense. Good"
Loren nodded with a look of approval.
So the system isn't completely useless.'
"How about this add category and organizer button?"
[Add Category allows you to add a new category or sub-category that does not already exist. For example, you can add the category 'Skin' to make it appear, and then use Status Points to improve or degrade the property of your skin. You can also add Left Hand or Right Hand under Strength to be able to increase an individual arm's strength using Status Points. Categories are automatically organized into Groups by the Organizer. Strength, for example, can have either a left or right hand underneath it.]
"Oh my goodness... So, f**k that information dump you just did. I didn't get a single thing."
[You aske-]
"How, by the way, do I hide and show this status window?"
[...By saying 'Status' aloud or in your head, or by touching the three dots in the upper right corner of your field of vision.]
'Status'
The Status Window reduced in size quickly and it moved to the upper right corner of his vision like it was getting sucked by the three dots.
"... I think I gotta get used to this somehow."
Loren took a deep breath and decided to take a bath before heading to school.
*******************************
I'm eating breakfast and contemplating whether I should go and add status points to my poor status.
'Status'

Should I add points at appearance? Yes of course!. Don't get me wrong, even though I'm already handsome, it doesn't hurt to be more handsome right? (A: Beleive me guys it hurts!)
I clicked the + button for the appearance for ten times so I could easily see the difference. So what if my reasoning was stupid? it's mine not yours.
After finishing my breakfast, I got up to wash the dishes, then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and examine the effect the status points had on me.
..... "Who the fuc---" I saw someone as handsome as me (narcissism) in the mirror looking back at my esteemed self.
"I-is this me?"
I asked myself while touching my face, which the man on the mirror also did.
"Oh f**k yes! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
I laughed like a villain plotting something heinous, BAD, like REALLY BAD!
"Status!"
