1 A Gacha System!?

"Pay your rent or get out!" Sasha yelled to the Guy in room 12, He hadn't paid for 2 months and just ogled her whenever he saw her.

If it weren't for her family being tight on money she would have been kicked out a long time ago

This Guy had even tried touching her one night and she had to hide, She never told anyone however due to needing the money for her and her daughter, so she just kept quiet and tried as hard as she could to avoid him.

"Um, Excuse miss?" A boy around 17 said at the counter she was spacing out at, He had Light Gray hair and was scratching the back of his head nervously.

She smiled, He wasn't anything special, But him being nervous was kind of cute "Yes?, Are you trying to book a room?" Sasha said puffing her chest out to tease him a little.

"Y-Yes..." He didn't know what else to say and just waited for her, This Boy's name Was Hunter Frias, A perfectly average American boy

Unfortunately, circumstances had made him kicked out of his family and left for dead ok the side of the road.

He knew it was his fault though so he didn't complain, Hunter had very poor social skills, And he loved to watch anime.

His favorites were, One Hit dude, My Protector Academy, and Aruta, These anime were very popular amongst the people he had seen talk about them online.

"Hold on, let's get you registered," Sasha said smiling at the nervous boy, This was a nice change of pace, instead of a disgusting perverted guy in room 12 or others, She got an average looking but also innocent shy boy to talk to.

They checked through his id and booked his room in number 11, "Remember to pay every month ok?"

Hunter Nodded and stepped into his new home, No fathers to yell that your useless, no little sisters bragging To you about being better, No mothers Faking sadness when you were tossed to the streets, No older sister looking down on you, Just a small apartment and himself

He started unpacking all his belongings, Starting with his laptop and ending after setting up his air mattress, He looked across the small apartment and smiled "I'm home...".

*****

A couple of hours pass as Hunter settles into his new home, He had his computer all set up, the only thing he would need now was food, But thankfully he had money covered.

His family had been rich and he still had his credit card that was connected to their Account, so might as well take advantage!

Walking out of his room he put on his usual shy expression once again seeing the Woman Sasha from before, He had terrible social skills, he might as well be a mouse when talking to others.

"Where are you going?" Sasha noticed that Hunter had been trying to sneak away, She liked teasing this kid and seeing his shy expressions

Hunter froze at her words and pulled down his hoodie "I-I'm just going to get some groceries... is there anything you need mam?" Hunter said quietly.

Sasha saw his uncomfortableness and inwardly sighed, he wouldn't ever get a girlfriend with these social skills "No there is nothing make sure to get lots of nutrient-filled food ok?"

He nodded and walked out of the apartment complex and let out a breath leaning against the wall, He had always been like this, he didn't know why and it stopped him from having a lot of opportunities...

*Do you want to stop being a little bitch?*

A voice suddenly sounded out and he jumped looking around, When he didn't see anyone his heart rate went back to normal and he started walking away thinking it was his imagination.

*Integration complete, Welcome to the system!*

Hunter fell on his ass this time as he was halfway with crossing the street "Get the hell out of the way Kid!" A driver honked and said with an angry expression.

'System?... what the hell is happening' Hunter thought before putting up his hoodie and running the rest of the way to the sidewalk.

*The System has been given to you to help you with your social skills* The monotone voice of the system said again making hunter sit down and start talking to it, still thinking he is going crazy.

'H-Hello...'

*Hello, I won't be repeating myself anymore, if you didn't catch my words before then it is no one's fault but your own* The system replied in a slightly annoyed tone.

'Ok... social skills but...what does that mean?' As he asks that a blue holographic type panel appears in front of him.

He looked around and saw no one was looking his way as he read the content on the Panel

(Looks:2( The Most attractive guy... at a one-person party)

'Hey... I've never been invited to a party even if the only participant was myself anyway...'

(Communication:0(Really? you can't even say hello without stuttering?)

'Well people are scary!...yeah that's my excuse...'

(Academics:2( I guess this is average for an elementary schooler...)

'At least I'm not on the spectrum...'

(Talent:2(You're averagely talented... at being untalented...)

'Well being untalented is my favorite past time'

(Confidence:1(Your confident... in getting slapped around by others)

'... this has happened before...'

(Social Status:0(Do people even know you exist?)

'My mother... well I think so'

(Luck:1(You're lucky enough to not stub your toe every other morning)

'That's not too bad, I feel bad for the people who stub their toes in the mornings...'

(Athletics:0(You might as well not even wake up...seriously even video gamers have more athleticism!?)

'Going outside is scary... and unnecessary'

Seeing the 'Stats' And their messages next to them Hunter got embarrassed and jumped up covering his face as he walked away, All thoughts of groceries gone from his mind.

*****

When He reached home he rushed past Sasha and went straight to his room.

He plopped himself onto his chair and started up his computer, this was the only way he could think of to drown out the abusive system.

As he was Playing he was simultaneously thinking things over, And he came to a realization, He had a fucking System!

Sure it was mean and tried to put him down, but it was a system nonetheless, So taking off his headphones he called the system.

'Ok system, show me what you can do!'

*Functions: Gacha*

Seeing the only option being Gacha Hinter froze once again, Gacha was the worst thing to exist, and he had shitty luck, The system had even testified that this was true!

Sighing he clicked on the function and smiled seeing he had One Gacha Ticket, It led him to a list of categories.

* Items, Misc, Skills, Abilities*

Clicking on Items and immediately spinning he waited to see if he was lucky enough.

*Ding*

Out popped a white orb type thing and it started to glow and shake in his hand until a blinding light made him have to turn away.

'This must be good...right?', He looked at the item in his hand and deadpanned

[Bottlecap]: Doesn't really do much... maybe you can save them up?

Hunter felt like crying, He had gotten the dream of nearly every Weeb out there, and here he was with such a useless item.

But wait there was more!

//Broken Shell//

'Huh, what the hell could this possibly be?'

[Talk to 10 new people this month](0%)

'Talk to ten new people!?, that's like asking for me to have a heart attack?... I've talked to 10 people in my lifetime!'

[Not allowed to stutter]

'B-But that's just how I talk!, this is like asking One hit dude not to be bald!'

[Each person must be of the opposite gender]

'Well, there is no use in doing this quest...' He had only ever talked to 5 women in his life, his mother, sisters, maid, and the Apartment lady from earlier.

[Penalty: Death, Reward: 5 Gacha Tickets]

Hunter's eyes widened at this last part' Death?' He couldn't believe his eyes, why death? was it just his unlucky day? well, of course, it was with his shitty luck, but death seemed a bit extreme!

He tried to talk to the system again and ask why death but it stopped answering after listing off the quest, Hunter didn't want to die, so there was only one thing he could do.

"Yes, I'd like to plan a funeral" He called the morgue and asked for advance plans for his death.

"Yes, who is the funeral for sir?" A male voice said on the other side of the phone.

"Myself sir," He said and the other line was silent for a while.

"I refuse to be a part of your suicide please call someone else," The man said and hung up.

Now Hunter really only had one option, and this was to stop being a wimp and talk to 10 females without stuttering... so with a deep breath, he opened the door.

"Hello hu-" Sasha started to say before hunter ran back to his room and shut the door

He dived into his mattress and turned off the light "Another day..."

(A/N: First Chapter lol, This is slightly inspired by My Pick Up Artist System(At least some of the system parts), so if things seem similar that is why, I like that Novel but this is only loosely inspired I'm not trying to rip samsara off, if it seems that way sorry)
