On a beautiful, bright morning, Naoto woke up from a deep sleep and opened his eyes to the sunlight filtering through the window of his room. He sighed in a happy voice
"Was that a dream? What a beautiful dream. I hope it comes true."
(Good morning, host)
Naoto said in shock
"What!! Oh, if it's not a dream, well it doesn't matter I'll get out of bed."
The hero quickly descended the stairs, and when he reached the kitchen, he found his family already gathered around the table. They exchanged greetings and beautiful morning smiles, and the atmosphere was full of love and understanding. Grandma was preparing a delicious breakfast
After eating breakfast together, Naoto left his house and headed to school.
Naoto walked steadily through the crowded streets, feeling the breeze soothe his face. Enjoy watching the passersby and the shops that have opened their doors to start a new day. He enjoyed walking and listening to the birds singing in the nearby trees.

(Currently, since it is a task for beginners, it is without a specific deadline and there is no penalty)
"What is this, do you consider me Saitama, why does this look like an exercise?"
(Currently this is the appropriate task for the host)
"Okay, but these things will have to wait until the day off."
(The task is not limited by time, so the choice is up to the host)
Naoto continued on his way and finally arrived at school.
He joined his class, sat down, and classes began
It was lunch time, Naoto was sitting in his place holding his phone, browsing new novels on his favorite website
'Oh this is good'
(Host, why are you alone?)
"Why did you appear!?! What if someone saw you?"
Naoto said cautiously and worriedly
(Don't worry, only the host can see or hear me, and he can speak through his mind)
'Well that's convenient'
(But the host did not answer my question)
'Well there's not much to say, because of my high grades others started to isolate me, which made me a target for bullying.'
(But did the host take the initiative to make a friendship?)
'I don't know, it's been eight years since I closed myself off and started following anime and novels.'
(Does this mean that the host will be happy if he travels to those worlds)
'Worlds?? What do you mean, as it's not possible'
(It is even possible. What the host calls novels and anime are in fact parallel universes)
'So can you travel through those universes?'
(The host can know if the system has been upgraded)
'You're useless'
Suddenly three boys entered, looking like they were laughing and having fun. One of the three noticed Naoto sitting in the chair
"Z-Boss, it's that boy whose money we took!"
Naoto turned to see the owner of the voice, and he saw the three boys who had beaten him until he lost consciousness
(Ding!! The host gets +2 surprise points)
'Oh, so that's how it works'
"Hey you, come here"
(Ding!! The host got +1 hate point)
Naoto without question gets up from his place and heads in front
The leader of the three looks at him with eyes filled with hatred
"What's going on, Akihiro?"
"Aw, didn't your slutty parents teach you to respect your elders?"
Then Akihiro directed a slap at Naoto, but Naoto was unable to dodge it, which led to him being injured. The entire class turned to the sound of the slap to see Naoto lying on the ground.
(Host gets +36 Attention Points)
(The host gets +17 compassion points)
"Boss, you better stop here. What if I tell that strange man?"
One of the henchmen tried to stop Akihiro from hitting Naoto out of fear of the unknown man
"Calm down, I'm sure that person has nothing to do with this garbage. If he did, he would have come a long time ago, right Naoto?"
Akihiro said with a malicious smile on his face
"See you after school"
Akihiro was about to leave the class after attracting attention
Naoto got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face
Naoto got angry and hit the wall with his fist
"I'm tired of it, I'm tired of it, I'm always the victim of bullying, if only I could hit back."
(Dieng!! The beginner's mission is still active)
"That's right. I can still rely on the system. There are only twenty-five minutes left until lunch ends."
Naoto quickly left the room and went down the stairs towards the space behind the school, since most students do not go there during lunch.
Naoto arrived panting at the scene
"System show me the task"
(Dieng!! The mission has been started
Difficulty: E (1/5

"O regime, where did the fifty meters come from?"
(The host ran from the bathroom to this place, the distance was approximately fifty meters from the top of the floor
"This is a useful method. Okay, let's get started."
Naoto set a distance of 250 meters to run
Then he started running. He was running with all his strength and his emaciated body to finish before the specified time.
He miraculously finished it in twenty minutes, then stood up and started squatting until he was tired
But what motivated him was his unwillingness to be despised by others. He was upset by everything. His only motivation for enduring all of this was for the sake of his grandparents.
After finishing the squat, Naoto felt extremely exhausted but did not give up. He decided to take advantage of the remaining time to do abdominal exercises and arm exercises. He knew that he would not get the award if he did not complete the task successfully.
After five minutes, Naoto felt like he couldn't go any further. His strength was gradually fading
(Dieng! Beginner's mission accomplished
The award is being handed out
The host got it
10 experience points
2 status points
And the starter pack

"Yes, open"

"Well at least I made it in time."
(Congratulations to the host for completing the first part of the beginner's mission)
"What's more than one part?"
(Yes, host, the demands increase with every challenge, the system encourages the host to work hard)
"Okay, except for the key, everything else is relatively good, okay, now open the case."

"Okay, I don't feel much change, now I open the storeroom."
The system opened the storeroom and Naoto looked at the only two things in his storeroom, taking out a low-level martial arts book.
"Should I read this book?"
(Does the host want to spend 15 feelings points to learn the skill)
"Okay, spend it."
(The skill [Street Fighting Art] lvl1 has been learned successfully. Agility and endurance have been increased by a point)
The book's techniques began to register in his mind, every movement and every possible method of fighting. When the information transfer finished, Naoto felt exhausted.
"Is it possible for skills to increase stats" with
(Yes, the higher the level, the higher the stats. This is just a low-level book, so the increase is weak. When the host becomes stronger, he will obtain higher-ranking techniques.)
"So how can I level up the skill, should I practice it?"
(not necessarily )
The system showed Naoto the skills screen
(As long as you have enough points)
"Okay, time to go back to class."
When Naoto returned to class, he felt proud and confident in himself. He may not be able to defeat Akihiro, but he already has enough to at least strike back
The end of lunch bell rang, and classes began. Naoto was sitting in his place concentrating on the lesson, until the study ended. Naoto quickly left the school.
"Aw, looks like you can't wait to get beaten up, so you came running over here."
Akihiro said sarcastically as he stood in front of Naoto
"And you think I'm going to rush for you, get your fucking ass over here?"
Naoto replied sarcastically
"You bastard, if your goal was to make me angry, then you succeeded."
(Ding!! The host got +15 anger points)
Akihiro quickly heads towards Naoto. Naoto tries to hold Akihiro so he can use his skill, but Akihiro throws a lightning punch in Naoto's face.
Naoto groaned from the force of the punch and fell to the ground, unable to get up again. The punch was so strong that he couldn't move or respond with any strong blow. His body was full of pain and weakness, and he could not stand or defend himself.
As Naoto lay on the ground, he felt frustrated and lost. He felt that he had failed to protect himself and had failed to resist violence. He had no ability to fight back or defend himself, and this made him feel weak and helpless.
'What is this? Was the system fooling me?'
Naoto thought about whether the system he was training on was fooling him or not. He decided that it couldn't be the system that caused his failure, it had to be something else.
