As my eyes fluttered open, a damp sensation greeted my face.

"I thought I died?" I mumbled to myself, cautiously rising from the floor. The memories were foggy – the last thing I recalled was slipping into unconsciousness. Strangely, though, the stabbing pain in my stomach was gone.

Yet the reality of what occurred lingered. The empty bottle stared back at me, and the bloodstains on the floor remained vivid. There was just too much blood, and even if I hadn't succumbed, I certainly shouldn't have been able to move so soon.

As I tried to get my bearings, my gaze caught something in my peripheral vision. It was like a holographic brain icon. At first, I thought it might be some forgotten toy, but I soon noticed it was there no matter where I looked. It felt almost like a heads-up display in a video game, just hanging in my field of view.

"Neurolink System," I unconsciously muttered, and then a notification sound echoed in my head. Suddenly, a blue semi-transparent window appeared before me.

"What the hell!" I exclaimed aloud, jumping back first onto my bed. Thankfully, the soft cushion of the bed absorbed my fall.

"What the hell is this thing?" My heart began racing, and blood surged into my head, causing a numbing sensation. It was a familiar sign that I was experiencing anxiety. First, the nausea, and now this feeling? How unlucky could I be?

But then, I heard a notification.

System One Time Skill:Calm Mind Activated

A cool sensation washed over my head, and strangely, I found myself not so bothered by the fact that there was a strange HUD window in front of my eyes. I wasn't sure what was happening, but it was definitely better than having a stroke right now.

"This is like one of those system novels I always read on web novels!" I exclaimed as I realized what I was looking at.

Normal people would be utterly clueless if they saw these types of windows appearing out of thin air. Some might even think they were going crazy. But not me! I've read dozens of books like this, and in every single one, the main character becomes overpowered. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Maybe God pitied me and granted my dying wish?" I muttered to myself. But as soon as I said the word "dying," my gaze unconsciously shifted to the half-drunk water bottle on the desk. Hastily, I retrieved it and screwed the cap back on.

"Someone might have poisoned me. I need to hold onto this evidence," I thought. I might have been NEET, but I'm no fool.

In fact, I always used to score straight A+s in my exams when I was studying. It was the constant bullying that drove me away from school. If I had truly been poisoned, my first suspect would be my evil Aunt. As the sole blood-related family member of my uncle, I was a threat to her, especially because I would turn 18 next week .

But let me focus first on the issue at hand.

Now, what to do with this window?

I settled back onto the bed and started examining the details of the skills. As for the stats, I didn't know the conversion, but they seemed pitifully low.

"Mind Eye [See the Stats of people 3-5 levels ahead of you]

Suggestion [Increase your chance of convincing someone by 5%]

This is cool. 'Mind Eye' seems quite generic for a system skill, but 'Suggestion' is quite overpowered. It might just be a 5% increase, but I know it'll become stronger over time. And 5% is a significant boost already.

Imagine this: if I were to ask a beautiful girl I just met to be my girlfriend, my chance would be practically zero.

But with this 5%, I could bypass that abysmal chance if I just got lucky once. Of course, I'm aware that 5% isn't exactly 5%. Like in games, having a 5% critical rate doesn't mean you'll get a critical hit every 20 attacks.

Sometimes it won't even happen if the enemy has stats that prevent critical strikes. So no, I won't attempt anything crazy like trying to find a girlfriend right away. Worst-case scenario, they'd call the police on me for harassing them.

Putting that aside, I started using Mind Eye on the bottle. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I guess I need to try it with a living person.

"In novels , I should be getting a mission now to earn some experience," I muttered to myself.

And as if in response to my thoughts, a window popped up:

[Mission : Takeabath +10XP, ]

"I knew it," I chuckled and hurriedly went to the bathroom, grabbing a mop first to clean up the distracting blood on the floor. Then I finally took a bath and brushed my teeth.

For the first time in many years, I actually enjoyed this bath. I felt alive, as if a sense of hope was returning to me. But beneath this newfound happiness, a burning desire for revenge and dominance started taking root in my heart.

Being a hero? Being a good guy? Only silly main characters of novels do that, because they're nothing more than figments of imagination created by writers who are slaves to their readers. I'm different. I'm a real person who has suffered greatly due to the mistreatment of others.

Suddenly, a creepy smile formed on my lips.

"I will live my life to the fullest now that I have this chance."
