1 Chapter 1 - Awakening
I woke up feeling groggy and a massive headache overwhelmed my mind as I felt astonished from what I was experiencing as seemingly a foreign memory suddenly appeared. It made me gritted my teeth from the pain but was too focused on what the revelations showed me.

"Aarghh fuck." I sat up as my body was sweating as the pain settled and regained my composure as I was trying to grasp reality. I didn't expect to wake up like this. I'm a bit taken aback when a panel screen appears before my eyes and memories that I try to organize.
The new memories showed me the life of another person who had the same name as me. He was an Otaku and had watched massive anime and manga, manhwa, and even novels. One in particular was my family, they were the Yuuki Family and from a fictional story that is called To Love Ru.
'The hell…!? It makes me kind of angry that my little sister is being shown naked more than anything…'
I thought to myself and as you guess I'm actually the adopted brother of Rito and Mikan Yuuki. My name is Haruto Yuuki. Frankly I don't know how to feel what's going on yet I'm oddly calm.
'Base from my new memories, it seems I got something that didn't have an Ego. Lucky for me cause I don't want to lose myself.'
Wouldn't it be scary to one day lose yourself to someone else? Yeah that's kind of horrifying and if this memory belongs to a pervert scum who only wants the girls in the story then that's going to be a Problem. I would not hesitate to kill myself at the moment I regain control if such scenario happened.
'That aside, a system? Let's see…'
I looked in front of me and a panel screen appeared and read the description.
[ Congratulations on being selected to be a System user!
In particular, you have gained the most ideal system among all systems. As the name suggests, the user is able to place a quest upon himself without any penalty. For example, a user can say "I want to…", then you will be given a task and reward. Depending on the task, the harder it is, the better the reward and vice versa.
In addition, the system has other features.

I've played Role play games before and this is no different but I need to first know the mechanics of it. A quest maker system? This is quite unique to the stories from the memories I got. I then tap the status and the panel quickly changes showing me how strong I am.

My status was to be expected since I'm only 15 years old highschool and wasn't that particularly interested in sports since I never felt the need to. Though, I consider myself as well capable. Now that I know the possible future that I hope will not happen.
'Who am I kidding? I have status meaning there is no escape and the best I could do is simply get stronger to survive.'
I simply facepalm and shook my head as I sigh deeply, seeing that the best option is to use what I was given to the best of my abilities.
'Let's check the beginner's gift.'
Tapping the inventory panel found a gift box icon and opened it obtaining a number of things.
[ Congratulations! You have obtained "Spiral Powers(???)"! ]
[ Congratulations! You have obtained the "Big Daniel Park (Lookism) template(A)" ! ]
[ Congratulations! You have obtained 1,000 Quest Points! ]
My eyes widened recalling from the new memories that the reward was certainly interesting and considered it quite useful the first time. Though, I wasn't expecting too overpowered but it was still enough to make him extremely powerful.
First, Daniel Park is from a series called Lookism where the main character has two bodies one was his original that was fat who eventually became thinner as the series continued while the other was contrast to his original that was handsome and had perfect body but both had the ability to instance copy technique and use it nearly mastering them.
Additionally both have the ability known as [ Ultra-Instinct ] in which he is rendered in a state between conscious and unconscious. He is able to maximize his fighting potential by utilizing every single move of his knowledge without hesitation.
As for [ Spiral Powers ], it is the primary power source of all Spiral beings and the primary theme of Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann.
Not only is it the basis of strength for the main characters and all of mankind, but it is presented as a philosophy and a model of physics.
In the series' concept, Spiral Power is the power of evolution, generated by beings capable of doing so, like humans and other DNA-based animals, whose spiral double helix molecular structure allows them to get stronger through the generations. Spiral Power is what connects spiral beings to the universe and is produced by the energy generated by gametogenesis in living creatures to keep evolution moving forward.
The amount of Spiral Power produced by an individual may vary and is based not only on its own limitations, but also its immediate will to survive and persevere. Spiral Power has both infinite potential and applications - it has been known to regenerate and grow new parts on machines to a universal and multiversal scale, and even create tunnels through space-time.
'It is quite overpowered to be honest but it isn't instantaneous and needs a certain drive to evolve.'
I was satisfied and went to check the shop to see what I could buy but some items are expensive.

Frankly it is to be expected at how expensive they can be and turned my attention to the martial arts. And I'm uncertain what kind of martial art I should choose seeing that I can only select one and most are E meaning they are at the beginner level.
'I should save up points for now, I need to strengthen my body first before anything else.' I stood up and tapped the template to integrate and could feel my body changing as I saw that the template had a percentage to fully integrate.
'I know that Daniel's other body was described as perfect and his technique is superb. There's no point trying to buy martial art when I can copy them if I fuse with the template' I thought to myself that seeing this means I will eventually gain the same level as him.
I closed the panel and stretched my body as I looked outside to see that it was still dark and went to check my phone to see it was around 4 Am. My class starts at 8:30 Am and I'm already awake. I might as well take a stroll.
'But first…I need to freshen up.'
[ Quest Created! ]
[ Task: Rinse your face. ]
[ Reward: 100 Yen ]
Oh that's how it works. The simpler the quest the lesser the reward. Though, 100 yen isn't a lot but considering how the quest is made then it's to be expected. Soon enough, I head towards the bathroom trying not to wake everyone up. My mind is all time high from the sudden events and I need some time to think.
'Hmmm, It's weird seeing my face even though I've seen it so many times.' Knowing that I shouldn't exist in this world made me feel strange. Though, there's no beating myself to it and accept that multiverse and stuff exist then move on since sticking with the subject wouldn't be good.
I had the same hairstyles as Rito but I'm a bit taller and leaner than he is. We're the same age with the only difference being I'm a bit more mature or at least more capable in certain areas. I stopped looking at myself like a narcissist and watched my face to freshen up before heading out for a light jog.
'Quite chilly but that's fine. Now then….I want to get stronger.'
[ Quest Created! ]
[ Task: Run 10 Km, 100 Curl ups, 100 push up, 100 Squats ]
[ Reward: 50 QP. ]
The points seem unfair but I can't complain since I'm lucky enough to have a system anyway. Though, being realistic this kind of exercise wouldn't work that well since everybody has a different body type and condition. Putting that aside, I took a deep breath and started running around the neighborhood and the best way to pump a person's blood and start his adrenaline while also gaining some testosterone that boosted him.
The first few minutes were easy as I was simply jogging and could feel my heart start to pound. I did join some sports festival activities but I wasn't that good. In the next 15 minutes I started to feel tired and panting heavily as my body cried out to me.
Still I kept going hoping that I could still go on and tried pushing myself since this will activate my [ Spiral Powers ], considering only through the face of an adversary that I might be able to grow stronger and evolve further than before.
I'm quite weak since I wasn't that invested in trying to improve myself before but didn't care and simply recalled how the Gurren Lagann anime taught me from the new memories I obtained.
"Haaaa….shi….haaa…"
My mind became heavy as my body began to fail me. It feels pathetic seeing myself like this. I felt doubt seeping into my mind as I felt my body giving up and soon fell into the cold concrete floor. It only lasted 15 minutes of nonstop running and yet I was already exhausted. I cursed and wanted to rest for a moment.
This makes me wonder how those fanfic main characters have the mental state to train without problem? I always appreciate people who endure pain to achieve what they want.
'My body wants to stop but I can't give up now!'
I started to sound like a shounen protagonist. Sure there's tomorrow and I don't have anything that urges me to get strong immediately but if I keep that mental attitude then nothing would change.
'Get up Haruto! This is only in your mind! Stand up and fight on!' I motivated myself hoping it could change and tried standing up again finding something worth doing. My brother and sister…I need to be strong as their big brother!
'Stand up and keep moving forward! Squeeze every muscle and grit your teeth!'
Yes, that's it! You're doing great, Haruto! I stood up and barely conscious as I stomped my feet into the ground then took my first then the second then third afterward Ten until I found myself running and still exhausted but somewhat liberated. I don't know how long I was on the floor but it feels like I evolve my past self whose potential is held by doubt.
I felt a surge of energy welling up within me. Is this the Spiral Powers? It reminded me about the indomitable human spirit vs indifferent cruelty of the universe.
The green energy around me surged as I was able to stand up and felt revitalized as once again pushed myself. It isn't easy and I can still feel every muscle and bone aching yet I didn't care as it was only temporary and there always be pain in training, what's the point of worrying?
I was in a constant battle trying to keep myself steady and surpass my limits as no one dictates them beside yourself. It was Saitama who taught me that. Well the new memories at least. After a while I found myself in a playground and was panting for air at how exhausted I was.
'No, I need to completely exert myself until I faint.' I thought to myself , making me wonder why I was doing it and remember that there is no point stopping now.
"Haaaa….haaa…I thought I was going to die." I said as my chest heave trying to gasp as much air in the surrounding as possible. It feels that my muscle air was healing a lot faster as I managed to stand back up and began doing the rest of the exercise.
Focus and keep on track! Don't distract yourself, Haruto! I realize how some people focus on the result rather than the process. I can't describe how difficult it was but like Miyamoto Musashi had said "it may seem difficult at first but everything is difficult at first."
"Haaa….goodness gracious…." I can't even form words a thow tired I was and decided to rest since I already finished the set. I can only looked at my status screen and find that the percentage went up.

I'm satisfied with it and simply need to think about everything. My body seemed to repair rapidly and after a few minutes I was able to move, then took out my phone to see it was around 6:00 after checking and went to watch some YouTube. If I have Big Daniel's template then I could easily copy martial arts. Though, mastering them is a completely different story.
'Kickboxing…I need to learn them.'
[ Quest Creation! ]
[ Task: Learn kickboxing ]
[ Reward: Lv.1 kickboxing(E) ]
The reward doesn't seem bad and makes it a lot quicker anyway. I looked up and since I still have time, I watched some tutorials on youtube. Though, most martial arts are diluted and become a laughing stock since nearly everyone uses the sport version rather than the traditional fighting style. I placed my phone down then tried moving like they did and to my shock it felt as if everything was clear to me.
'Is this Daniel Copy technique ability?' I thought to myself as I started to feel and it was a lot easier compared to exercise but does strain muscles. Eventually, I successfully copied it and the percentage of the template on my status increased.
[ Lv. 1 kickboxing(E) ]
I was satisfied with the result and kept training the martial art rather than looking up for more. At the very least I should raise to D or C Rank before copying new martial arts. After another half hour I managed to raise the level to 4, it wasn't much but progress still progressed.
'Alright time to head home and have a shower.'
