Chapter 2 - First Steps

Xero had just been discharged from the hospital and as he walked towards the exit he felt confident with his new Ultimate Sigma System. He was no longer the same weak beta who had been humiliated by life. 

With his chin held high he walked toward the automatic doors his head full of dreams about all the women he could get in the world. He spotted the receptionist a baddie with long silky hair voluptuous body with her scrubs hugging every curve and flawless skin. "Perfect!" This was his first real test.

Xero smirked feeling the strength of his five points of muscle beneath his fat. Sure, the change wasn't big but the system had given him hope and that hope had inflated his ego. He locked eyes with the receptionist and mogged her!

She blinked then recoiled in visible disgust. Her perfectly composed face twisted in horror, and her eyes widened as if she had just seen a monster.

"Ugh... God... what the fuck... is that?" she muttered taking a step back, her hand covering her mouth.

Before Xero could react the woman gagged. Her cheeks puffed up as she desperately tried to hold back, but it was too late. A grotesque sound escaped her throat, and she projectile vomited all over the counter in front of her. The noise echoed through the lobby and the stench filled the air instantly.

Xero stood frozen his confidence shattered in an instant. His smirk faded away and tears starting to run down his eyes as other people in the lobby stared at him with mixed expressions of horror and pity.

Outside the hospital Xero felt disgusted in himself. He was overconfident with the system like a cop on a power trip. He was still the same Xero on the outside. Fat, awkward and clearly not ready to command the attention of baddies.

Xero stood outside the cool breeze did little to calm his nerves. "Status!" Xero yelled opening the system not realizing he could just think status and it would open thinking he is the main character.

He pulled up the system display in front of him ready to plan out his next move.

Chapter Two: First Steps

"Ah that's why!"

"My Rizz level, still at a pitiful 1." Xero frowned

He had been so focused on flexing what little muscle mass he'd gained that he ignored the most critical part of interacting with others his charisma or lack of. Xero sighed realizing that mogging wasn't just about his unnoticeable muscles it was about presence aura and the ability to command respect. And clearly he wasn't there yet.

The system flashed a notification.

[New stat added IQ: IQ 4 (Are you kidding me? A toddler is smarter than you.)

A new notification appeared.

[New Mission: Improve your Rizz. Engage in a conversation with a stranger and successfully raise your Rizz level by 1 point.] Reward: +10 Grindset, +1 Mewing, and one rare Drip box.

Xero knew he needed to boost his Rizz and fast.
