Chương 1: The Start
"Let me get this straight. I can choose which world to go to, and I get two wishes?"
"Yes"
A mortal soul was speaking to a god in the spirit realm, contemplating his options.
"Okay, I want to be reincarnated in Reality Quest. My first wish is to have ultimate mastery and a perfect body. And I want to be like Goo Kim from Lookism."
"Done. Enjoy your journey."
-------
In a classroom, a boy with black hair and eyes sat at a desk cluttered with multiple phones held up by phone stands. This was Ha Dowan, the main character of Reality Quest. Confusion clouded his face.
'What is this? Didn't I die?' Dowan's mind raced. He was sure he had died. 'But what is that?' In front of him, a screen appeared.
[Character Information]
[Name: Ha Dowan]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Powerless Game Shuttle]
'This must be a dream.' Dowan thought. There was no other explanation. 'But why am I a game shuttle even in a dream?'
Another screen popped up next to the first one.
[All the EXP accumulated from games played will be linked to the player.]
'Wait... does that mean all the EXP I gained from all the games I played as a game shuttle will be included?' Dowan was stunned. 'Wouldn't that be overpowered?'
But before he could process further.
"Dowan Ha, you bastard!" A voice shouted, and Dowan's face was slammed onto the desk.
'Chulwoo Min!' Dowan recognized the gray haired, gray eyed guy standing over him, the one responsible for all his misery.
'Everything started because of him,' Dowan thought bitterly, his head still pressed against the desk. Chulwoo had turned him into the class's game shuttle, and Dowan had endured hell because of it.
"Oi, Dowan." Chulwoo growled coldly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
'Holy shit, this guy's scary, even in a dream,' Dowan panicked, seeing Chulwoo's chilling expression.
"What's with that glare?" Chulwoo said, yanking Dowan up by his collar.
"Ch-Chulwoo, it's not like that." Dowan stammered, trying to explain himself.
But Chulwoo didn't care. His fist slammed into Dowan's face.
'It's fine. It's just a dream. It won't hurt even if I get hit-' Dowan's thoughts were cut off by the sharp pain of Chulwoo's punch. 'It hurts?!'
'This... isn't a dream?' Dowan barely had time to think before Chulwoo's fist drove into his stomach, knocking the air out of him.
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get." Chulwoo snarled. "I'm gonna beat you until I feel better."
'Damn, I'll die if this keeps up.' Dowan thought, panting, his face bruised and swollen.
"Dowan, I'll take my phone bac-"
The classroom door swung open, and a girl with black hair tied back and blue eyes stepped in. It was Ahrin. She stopped in her tracks, eyes wide at the scene.
"Huh?" Ahrin exclaimed, seeing Dowan getting beaten.
'Ahrin? Why is she back?' Dowan thought, just before another punch landed, sending him crashing to the floor.
Chulwoo continued to beat him mercilessly.
"Hey! Chulwoo Min!" Ahrin shouted, rushing toward him. "What are you doing? Stop!" She grabbed Chulwoo's arm, trying to pull him away. "I said stop!"
"God, you're so annoying." Chulwoo released Dowan, who was gasping for air, and grabbed Ahrin by her hair. She winced in pain.
"You bitch. Just because some guys tell you you're pretty, you think you can interfere?"
'I have to save her,' Dowan thought, seeing Chulwoo hurting Ahrin. But fear and hesitation gripped him, the memories of being bullied flooding back. 'But...'
"Let go of her, you bastard!" Dowan yelled, charging at Chulwoo with his fist raised. 'Even if I can't, I have to do it!'
But Chulwoo easily caught Dowan's punch, then threw his own punch toward Dowan's face.
'Damn it. Even if I try, it's useless.' Dowan thought as Chulwoo's fist closed in.
[EXP calculation completed]
[You have full EXP]
[Promoted to Legendary Class]
[Superior Game Shuttle]
[Class-Specific Skill Unlocked: Crushing Blow]
Suddenly, Dowan felt a surge of strength. Instinctively, he launched a flury of punches, each one striking Chulwoo square in the face, knocking him out cold.
Ahrin stared in shock by what just happened.
'Huh?' Dowan was even more shocked. 'Just now...' His mind drifted to a game he'd played. 'Wasn't that... a game skill?'
Before Dowan could make sense of it, another screen appeared before him.
[Administrator's Message]
[Do not look so surprised, my comrade. This is my gift for your favor.]
'That speech...' Dowan thought, recognizing the style from a game character. 'The Chuunibyou patient? The one who gave me the Fire God's Great Sword?'
[You have defeated the monster Chulwoo Min]
[You've received 200 EXP]
[Promoted to Sealed Game Shuttle]
'What is all this?' Dowan was overwhelmed by the barrage of messages.
"Just... what..." Ahrin stammered, looking at the unconscious Chulwoo. "How did you...?"
She stopped mid sentence when she heard Dowan groan in pain.
"Dowan, are you okay-?" Ahrin worriedly started to ask, but a voice interrupted her.
"Yo, yo, yo. What a surprise that was."
Ahrin turned toward the back of the class, spotting a figure with a height of 184 cm, with blond hair and glasses, dressed in a school uniform. He walked toward them, hands in his pockets, a playful smile on his lips.
It was the protagonist Goo Kim.
'Is that...?' Ahrin recognized him.
"Dowan, I didn't expect a game shuttle like you to pull that off." Goo grinned, offering his hand to Dowan. "That was kinda cool."
"Uh, thanks?" Dowan accepted Goo's hand and got to his feet. "But... who are you?"
"What? You don't know me?" Goo looked shocked.
Dowan shook his head.
"I'm your classmate, Goo Kim." Goo clutched his chest dramatically. "How could you forget me?"
"Uh... sorry?" Dowan apologized, then suddenly remembered. 'Wait, Goo Kim?' He recalled the quiet guy who always sat in the back of the class but rarely attended school. The same guy who somehow always aced the tests. 'Must be a bookworm' Dowan thought.
"Well, okay then." Goo smiled, returning to his cheerful demeanor. "But man, that was something. You beat up the class monster." He threw an arm around Dowan's neck.
"I was just lucky." Dowan said, forcing a nervous smile, still shaken by what he had done to Chulwoo.
"Lucky, huh?" Goo peered at Dowan's face, causing him to panic slightly.
"And you." Goo said, turning to Ahrin.
"Huh?" Ahrin blinked, confused as Goo addressed her.
"Wanna go on a date with me?" Goo asked with a wide grin.
'What?!' Dowan thought, completely shocked. 'This guy is so bold.' He stared at Goo, who casually said what most guys would be terrified to even think.
"Uh... I don't know." Ahrin stammered, caught off guard.
"That's a no, then." Goo shrugged, still smiling. Dowan was even more impressed, most guys would be crushed by that answer, but Goo acted like it was nothing.
"Well, you're the one who lost." Goo said, looking at Ahrin with a smile as he turned to leave. "After all, not many can catch the eye of the one who's invincible under the sun, Goo Kim." He suddenly stopped and tossed a card toward Dowan.
"What's this for?" Dowan caught the card, puzzled.
"If you're in trouble or... something else." Goo looked back with a grin. "See ya." And with that, he walked out, leaving a stunned Ahrin and Dowan behind.
'What did he just say about being invincible under the sun?' Dowan wondered, confused. 'Is Goo... a weeb?'
Ahrin, still taken aback by Goo's strange line, found it both cute and amusing.
-----
In the school hallway, Goo was crouched over, cringing hard.
"Holy shit, that was so cringe." He muttered, his whole body recoiling from his own words. Students passing by gave him strange looks.
"But..." Goo suddenly straightened up, placing a hand on his chin as he tilted his head thoughtfully. "It's kinda true though."
A grin spread across his face. "And it's gonna be pretty fun from now on." Knowing Reality Quest was just beginning, Goo could feel the excitement building.
