1 A lazy idiot with greed like no other.

At the world's tallest and most expensive building, Babel.

A man was enjoying his morning coffee while reading a report about how his mountain of money keeps getting bigger and bigger, until his... Assistant, yes his assistant gets in and brings a stack of documents in front of him.

"What is this?" He asks with a confused tone

"Your job, Sir." She replies to him with simple words, but you can tell that she is very respectful to him by his voice.

But to him, her words sound like an echo in his head, repeating again and again.

He can't believe this!

"Wait a minute, your joking right?! Where are those people that I pay to do it?"

"Sir there are no people like that, sir."

Slowly his view is getting distorted.

His world is ruined.

This can't be real, he stops doing his job after he became rich since he can pay others to do it for him.

"Sir, sir, sir..."

"Wake up, sir..."

"Mister William Fitzgerald wake up!"

The voice of nice and respectful assistance was replaced by an angry adult woman shout.

"I am awake! I am awake!"

William, or commonly known as Will was surprised by the voice of his Math teacher, Miss Green.

She glared at Will who just awakens from his short nap.

Realize that he did something he shouldn't Will give her a nervous smile.

"Mi-Miss Green! You look different, ahh... new hair?" Will ask with a troubled smile.

"Mister Fitzgerald I never change my hair in my whole life." She replies with a flat tone.

"Hahaha... I meant, hairstyle. That's a good one by the way. People always ask " Did you change your-"."

"I don't want to listen to your excuse. Now go to the front of the class and answer the question... or go and stand in the hall!"

Will stand up and walk to the door.

Miss Green grabs his left shoulder from behind, stopping him from taking another step.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Will turn around and found Miss Green look like a volcano, ready to explode any second now.

If before she was annoyed, now she is surely angry at him.

"Why didn't you try to answer the question?"

"I... eh... don't know how to?"

"Why you can't answer it?"

"Because... I don't how to?"

Miss Green rise her fist, ready to launch a jab to his face.

But she controls herself, and lowered her fist, then releases a long breath.

"Next time, don't sleep in the middle of the class. Now you can go and stand in the hall." She orders him.

He nods his head repeatedly like a chicken.

The class continues with Will who stands in the hall.

Not long after that Will gets bored.

He wasn't tired yet, but nothing is interesting to happen in the hall right now.

'Ding!'

Suddenly he hears a notification sound.

A semi-transparent blue screen suddenly appears in front of him.

[Do you want to be strong?]

Normal people would be shocked or confused if they are in Will's position, but surprisingly he was calm.

But he tries to stay silent, so he didn't earn more anger from his Math teacher.

Also, he didn't want to sound crazy.

'Ding!'

[Do you want to be strong?]

'Please turn off that annoying sound.' He says in his mind.

He wasn't sure will it work, but he believes it worth trying.

[Notification turned off]

[Do you want to be strong?]

'You are persistent about it huh?'

'Nah, I am too lazy to train or walk the path to be the strongest or something.'

Will was a big fan of action movies and Shounen anime, but it doesn't mean he wants to constantly put his life in danger.

[...]

[What about a harem of beautiful girls?]

[You must want that, right?]

'I am sorry, but I don't think I can handle a harem.'

In most anime, manga, and light novels he now harem protagonists always have problematic life because of their harem.

Sure, the idea to be surrounded by beautiful girls and women sounds good, infect it was too good to be true!

[...]

[You can be a King- No, an Emperor!]

'No way, why would I want to spend my time to make other life easier?'

Many think a king or emperor has an easy life, ordering people around, living in a big castle, have one or two beautiful wives (Some have many).

But no!

They must handle paperwork, tax, security, military, and many more.

[...]

[You can be a God!]

"That sounds way worse than the last one."

Plus he must answer prayer and handle demons or something.

[...]

[You can be rich like no other]

'Now we're talking! When do I start?'

[...]

[Do you want to open your Starter Pack?]

'Can I sell it for money?'

[...]

[Host, your greed is beyond what I expected]

'Hey! You promise me that I can make money!'

[...]

[You can get money from it, who knows?]

He thinks for a while.

'Okay, do that!'

[You receive Brain Grid Blood Battle Style]

[You receive Durandal]

[You receive Thermal Operator]

[You receive Double Wielding]

[You receive Ittou Shura]

[You receive The Severing Crime Edge]

[You receive Man of Steel]

[You receive Knight of Owner]

[You receive Dimensional Chat Group]

[You receive Explosion]

Will look at the list of his starter with a disappointed face.

'You lie to me, there is no money or anything related to money in the Strater Pack.'

[...]

The system can't believe even though its host received several good things from his starter pack.

[Host, you are an ungrateful greedy bastard]

'What? No! It's you who lie to me.'
