I Hacked the Damned System

[Winner in WPC July 2023 Contest!] [Slight Smut - Fast Paced - System] *** Synopsis: It all started as another VRMMORPG, Emberhorn, was released out to the world. With it, came all sorts of adventures such as leveling up your stats, killing monsters as you venture through dungeons, slaying dragons, getting noble ranks, and in other words, living in it. That’s exactly what Adrenoid did. He wasted the rest of his years strapped to the headset as the addict for adventure that he was, doing nothing but playing and coursing through this virtual world’s mysteries and secrets. Thus, Adrenoid had long gone to become a lifeless shut-in without a job, friends, and a girlfriend. This game was the only thing that supported him through these tough times. What he lacked in the real world, he tried to change in the virtual one to the point he’d do anything to have more privilege than the others, including the possibility of cheating. Thus, after dozens of retries and errors, he had finally done it. He had hacked the game’s system which led to its downfall. [Shut-Down Notice: 1 Hour(s) Left.] [Shut-Down Notice: 30 Minutes Left.] [Goodbye!] Adrenoid’s stream of tears was unstoppable as the game he had invested years in to become one of the strongest had met its end. “Huh?” Adrenoid gazed in surprise as his tears pixelated into the air. [Welcome, Player 1!] [Your arrival has been awaited for a long time.] [The Emberhorn will stretch its authority over Planet-B612, also known as Earth, gradually over time.] Adrenoid couldn’t help but gaze slack-jawed at the holographic pop-ups one after another. Especially the editable stats. --Notice-- The Story's beginning will be based on the game, and so will the MC's villain trope also start later on--the world is set on Earth but I'll be making fictional countries, cities, towns, etc.

Rom-Com Protag

The three muscle-bound troublemakers, their smirks dripping with arrogance, surrounded us. My annoyance surged at their audacity. It was beyond irritating to be confronted by these typical street bullies.

"Yo, pretty boy, you lost?" one of them taunted, his companions chuckling as they witnessed the sight.

"Wow, you're so observant," I replied dryly, my eyes narrowing as I assessed the situation.

Lira stood beside me, her discomfort palpable. I could tell that she was hesitant about how to react. These guys clearly didn't have the best intentions, and I wasn't about to let them intimidate us.

Ding.

Then, a sudden notification sound echoed in my mind, and a system window appeared before me.

[New Special Quest Available: Rom-Com Protag.]

I groaned inwardly.

Of all the times to get a new quest, it had to be now? The title alone was cringe-worthy, and I couldn't help but feel my annoyance escalate.

Emberhorn, you have quite the sense of humor, I thought sarcastically.
