Chapter 3: Narcissist's is shameless

After watching the screen in front of him, the narcissist frowned at how obvious the name of the system was. Although he was a narcissist and he admits that, it doesn't mean that the system name has to be like that.

[Due to the host's wish to stand on top of the entertainment industry, there must be one step that the host has to take. Please choose below two options.

A. Start as Novice Mangaka

B. Start as Novice Novelist.

Please choose within a minute.]

"Oh come on! Why is it forcing me to choose…!" Seiya frowned after confirming his suspicion that he has a mission-based system.

"Whatever." Without thinking much, he picked option B.

There are several reasons that he didn't want to start as a mangaka.

First, Seiya was a person who never sticks with one profession for years. Being mangaka requires a lot of skills, staff, and other materials. Even if he were to pick any manga to serialize, he knew that he won't be able to stick to one and make manga his whole life.

Second, his drawing skills were his worst part. He never had any experience where he excels in art.

On other hand, as a novelist, he just has to type while sitting on a computer and nothing else. Plus there is a wide platform for novelists on the web so he didn't have to wait for the success of his work.

[Main Quest has been issued.]

[Main Quest: Start as Novice Novelist

"It can't be…" Seiya frowned again from another shock and started to question if he should just close his eyes and open them again in the hope to confirm that it was just a bad dream.

He wasn't an idiot if he would just accept and start making a novel. And it is 15k words we are talking about. Let alone writing 15k words, even making a manuscript would be a huge challenge and will take no less than 2 or three days.

"Okay calm down, Seiya… Let's think about it."

Although he was not fond of a mission-based system, rewards were compelling.

He didn't remember much from his previous life except the fact that his consciousness was transmigrated to the past.

As for what these system points are, he called the 'status' word in his mind and another hologram appeared in front of him.

[END]

(AN: I know the system seems just like a certain someone's work but what can I do. Also, I may add some changes, should I add something like Magic and stuff?)

"So the system is based on game logic."

Most people would lose some sanity because they don't know how the RPG system works but he was another case. Whether in this life or the previous, Seiya was well aware of how most RPG systems work.

The ability to encash lies in the ability to study the system.

Let's check the basics.

STR is strength, AGI is agility, STA is stamina, INT is intelligence, WIS is wisdom, CHA is charisma and LUC is luck.

Average stats for a high schooler are 17 to 20 with the average adult having 25. It means that except for his intelligence, every other stat was below average. The reason was his past high school life where he didn't pay much attention to anything except passing exams with enough marks to transfer the school.

Then let's move to abilities and skills.

[Natural Narcissist:

An ability possessed by the host as a result of being a narcissist for the past few years.

Pros: Increase in Charisma and Wisdom with every activity that you do with commitment, natural judgement and leadership perks and boost in to learn anything.

Cons: Foul mouth and reduction in Charisma once you fail in anything after boasting about it. It will also reduce the number of mission the system will issue.]

It sure was one sarcastic system. The so-called innate ability was a double edge sword with equal pros and cons. Because of such innate ability, he lost a lot of pride in the past year. I mean once could see his wisdom and charisma hitting rock bottom while he didn't even like to talk about the luck part.

Then it was about skills.

Novice= Elementary school to middle school.

Basic= Middle school to the second year of high school.

Advanced= Third year of High school, College level, or university level

Expert= Top graduation in any field.

Prodigy= Record making skills

Master= Peak of everything

Invincible= Everything lies below your feet and no, there is no other mountain or anything, make your own mountain, sit here and shit people.

Novice to Basic Points= 5

Basic to Advance= 10

Advance to Expert= 15

Expert to Prodigy= 20

Prodigy to Master= 30

Master to Invincible= 50

Total= 130 Points

"Wow, this thing is a little broken. I mean if I get more points in the future then it is a matter of time before I excel at anything I want."

He was quite astonished and thought that deal was not bad. Physical parameters aside where he can't invest points, it was more than enough when he can just upgrade his skills.

"That's a good deal. Very good deal." Seiya smirked and thought that there is nothing to lose there. Should he fail in the quest, it will only terminate the system and he will be free but would he just let this golden chicken leave, not a chance.

"Yosh, time for some brainstorming." He jumped from his bed and sat on his PC chair.

After operating the PC, he opened MS Word.

"Let's see what kind of work I should plagiarize from my previous life…"

He was not a saint that he would just ignore popular works from his previous life and pull something new out of his ass.

No, he was going to push his ass and plagiarize as much as he can.

Now the second question is what kind of novel he should write?

He had read many novels of many varieties from epitome degeneracy like High school DXD, The Testament of Sister New Devil to low tier trashes like Date a live or Trinity Seven.

However, all of these or similar works were present here and equally popular among degenerate people.

Then it comes to one of the famous genres and probably the most popular of his life, Isekai.

He could make some quality works like Overlord or Tensura with awesome world-building mechanics.

He could copy works like The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs or Sevens with a unique story plot.

There is also reverse isekai like Re: Creators and The Devil Is a Part-Timer! With slightly better ending.

Yeah, he didn't forget Re: Zero or Konosuba.

However, cute bitches with huge tities called cardboard waifus, beta dense males going strong with emotional boost, a loser in previous life and OP in another world with sudden decrease in IQ, leveling system, every single cliché exist here.

If he were to write the same generic trash then he would have done so in his previous life. What else, everything mentioned above was also in the mainstream here so roasting his brain to make the same generic trash is utter nonsense and a waste of effort.

He wanted to make something that he could change the genre or the whole otaku community. Something that he could continue even after completing the quest and taking it to official publishers.

So after finalizing the work he wanted to make, he began searching some Korean web novel sites to see if 'that' work or genre exists. Thanks for his Luck 1, it doesn't.

"Okay, let's start from here." He smirked and began to write characters and story plots.

Main character: Ren Seiko

Main girl aka Emilia: Igris

Second best girl aka Rem: Beru

Story Name: Solo Leveling.
