Vikram, annoyed by the lack of MP3 players in this alternate dimension, speculated that it must be because of some unidentified factor. Pondering how to make money in the most convenient way and fast way if I need a laptop for programming there are only two option left either I take loan or make an MP3, he muttered, "Status," in his heart, summoning a virtual panel before him.

Failure: The host can say goodbye to his Little Brother]
Stunned by the sudden notification, Vikram couldn't believe his eyes. How did he reach the criteria? The system's rewards surprised him when Vikram looked at the Failure of the task. He couldn't help but shout, pointing a finger accusingly, "You fuc*er! How dare you take my little brother!"
...
Skinny guy Pov
The skinny guy entered the internet cafe with a mischievous plan in mind.
"Heh! Today, I am going to download a lot of songs and sell them at my school for a profit."
He was walking towards the counter when he got pushed back, prompting him to turn and look at the person who pushed him. As he was about to yell at him, he looked at him with a wide eye, seeing him pay a whopping 500 rs. The slim guy couldn't help but wonder if this person was wealthy. He had a rule to never mess with a rich kid. They are mostly short tempered.
After paying for the computer, I sat down only to realize the person who was sitting next to me was the same rich dude who just gave 500 rs. He looks kinda handsome when I look closely.
Vikram, not being able to find any information, wanted to blow his steam on someone, feeling a constant stare, snapped his mind
"Hey, is there a flower on my face?" Vikram asked in an icy voice, visibly irritated by the constant stares.
"No... No, nothing," the slim guy twisted his head around, smirking to himself, 'Humph, I have a more handsome face than you.'
While continuing with his business, the slim guy occasionally glanced at Vikram, noticing the range of expressions on his face - puzzlement, anxiety, and fleeting moments of happiness. As the time limit was coming to an end, prepared to leave, as he got up to leave. Vikram had an unexpected outburst, shouting while pointing his finger at the air.
"You fuc*er! How dare you take my little brother!" The cafe patrons looked at Vikram with a mix of confusion and snickers. I could not help but mutter under my breath, "Psycho." and leave the store.
...
When Vikram returned to the sense, he couldn't contain his frustration and cursed the system, shooting sharp glares at the lingering giggles in the room. Despite being embarrassed by the entire situation, he decided to make a hasty exit, telling the boss he was leaving. The boss, struggling not to burst into laughter, waved him off. As Vikram left the store, the sound of laughter echoed behind him, leaving him with the firm resolve never to return at this cafe.
When Vikram arrived home, he observed that his sister was engrossed in watching a daily soap on TV. In need of a comforting afternoon Chai, Vikram asked Aisha to make a cup of chai (tea) for him. Aisha, still carrying the morning annoyance, reluctantly complied and prepared chai for her brother.
As Vikram settled in his room, he took a book and began contemplating the results of his investigation. Summarizing his thoughts, he realized that even without the system, he would still create classic games, gadgets, comics, and more. Lost in his musings, Aisha brought him the chai she had made. Seeing her brother deep in thought, she couldn't help but blush, thinking how manly he looked in that moment. Overwhelmed by her own thoughts, she hastily placed the cup on the table and hurriedly exited the room. Vikram, puzzled by Aisha's sudden departure, looked after her with confusion, unaware of the unintended impact he had on his sister. Aisha, scolding herself for such thoughts, tried to shake off the embarrassment of thinking about her brother in a certain way.
Excitement bubbled within Vikram as he contemplated the prospect of creating an MP3 player. However, he knew that a plan was essential before accepting the mission. With today being his last day at home before returning to the university, he decided to spend some quality time.
As Vikram strolled towards the living hall, he caught a glimpse of his beautiful mother in the kitchen, donned in a bear apron, chuckling while preparing food. The warm scene filled his heart with affection.
Turning his head, he noticed Aisha's friend Rhea engaged in a whispered conversation with Aisha. Curiosity piqued, Vikram approached them, unaware of the inquiry unfolding.
"Aisha, does your brother have a girlfriend?" Rhea whispered to Aisha, her cheeks tinted with a blush, glancing at Vikram from time to time.
Aisha, annoyed by the question and perhaps not willing to give her brother away, decided to lie. "Yes, he has a girlfriend." She shot a glare at Vikram, signaling him to steer clear.
Unaware of the exchange, Vikram sat opposite her and greeted Rhea, who is 16 years old and a year older than Aisha. Rhea's shoulder-length chestnut hair framed her face, and her hazel eyes sparkled with curiosity. Her trendy yet casual attire showcased her lively personality, but what caught the most attention was her twin towers. Not wanting to be caught staring, Vikram started talking.
"Hello, Rhea. Thank you for taking care of my sister. She might be causing a lot of trouble for you," Vikram expressed his gratitude while peeking at her.
As Vikram sat opposite her, Rhea felt her heart race, catching a whiff of his aromatic scent and even catching him glancing at her. Inside, she felt happy and flustered by his gaze. She stammered, "No... no problem. She is quite good." A faint blush adorned Rhea's cheeks.
Observing the closeness between Vikram and Rhea, Aisha couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. Sensing Rhea's attraction to her brother, Aisha decided to intervene.
"Vikram, are you making fun of me again!" Aisha exclaimed, playfully hitting his leg.
Vikram chuckled, enjoying the banter. Meanwhile, Aisha, noticing Rhea feeling a bit left out, she took her hand by surprise. "Lets go Rhea" and run towards their room. Not missing the opportunity, Aisha made a teasing remark about her brother.
