Kazuki's eyes fluttered open. His head throbbed. He groaned, pcing a hand on his forehead.

  "Where am I?" he mumbled.

  It was dark. Cold. The ground beneath him was rough and damp. The air smelled of stone and dirt. A chilly breeze swept through the cave, brushing against his skin.

  He sat up, rocks scraping against his palms. Shadows danced on the walls, twisting like monsters.

  "A cave? Seriously?" Kazuki muttered, his voice a mix of confusion and irritation. "What is this? A discount isekai setup?"

  Suddenly, a screen appeared before his eyes, glowing faintly.

  [Congratutions! "Kazuki," you have been chosen as the heir of the Chaos System.]

  [For more instructions, open your status screen.]

  Kazuki's eyes widened.

  "A status screen? A system?" Realization hit him like a sack of bricks. "No way. Am I in a fantasy world?"

  Back in his previous life, Kazuki had been an ordinary guy, slogging through the monotony of a nine-to-five job. His evenings? Drowned in novels and video games. No girlfriend. No friends. Just the glow of a screen and the sweet taste of instant noodles to keep him company.

  But now…

  Kazuki's heart pounded. The anticipation was unbearable.

  "STATUS!" he shouted, almost expecting a divine choir to burst into song.

  The air shimmered, and a translucent screen materialized in front of him.

  Kazuki clicked his tongue in disappointment.

  "Tch. What the hell? I thought I'd be OP since I got isekai'd. Where's my legendary sword? My cheat skills? My army of waifus?!"

  Shaking his head, he opened the system quest.

  [MISSION]

  Leave The Cave

  Rank: E

  Objective: Get the hell out.

  Rewards: +100 XP

  Bonus Rewards: Skill upon completion without getting injured.

  Failure Consequence: DEATH (Because why not?)

  Kazuki gulped, the word "Death" practically glowing in neon red, surrounded by tiny pixeted skulls.

  "I could die? Seriously?"

  The thrill of adventure quickly dimmed. The cave's shadows seemed to grow darker. Even the faint chirping of crickets sounded like ominous death bells.

  "Or…" He clenched his fists. "Nah, screw it. How tough could it be?"

  With that, he pushed himself up. His footsteps crunched against the damp soil, the sound echoing through the cave. His eyes darted around, nerves on edge.

  The first step felt like the longest.

  The second step. A distant chittering echoed.

  The third step. Something stirred in the shadows, watching.

  The fourth. Fifth. Sixth. He swore something shifted behind him, but he didn't dare look back.

  The faint silver glow of the moon beckoned from the cave's opening. Branches twisted like skeletal fingers against the sky. The distant howls of wolves sent a shiver down his spine.

  "Just a few more steps," he whispered.

  Only one step stood between him and freedom.

  Then—a screech.

  Kazuki yelped, diving to the ground and covering his head. His heart pounded as the shriek echoed through the cave. But… nothing followed.

  Slowly, he lifted his head. Bats fpped past him, vanishing into the night.

  "What the hell was that about?! Did the system just try to jumpscare me?!"

  The screen shimmered once again.

  [Congratutions on completing your first mission!]

  [Gained: 100 XP]

  [Level 1 → 2]

  [Unlock a skill by spinning the Gacha!]

  Kazuki blinked, massaging his temples.

  "A Gacha? Are you kidding me? Why the hell would I need a Gacha in a system like this?!"

  The screen responded cheerfully.

  [For fair py and to ensure your skill is based on luck! Let's py the Gacha (>??) !]

  A circur wheel appeared, vibrant and colorful, with a rge red button in the center. It gleamed invitingly.

  Kazuki hesitated, then reluctantly pressed the button.

  The wheel spun. Faster. Faster. Colors blurred together.

  Kazuki held his breath, anticipation surging.

  Slower… slower… until finally—

  Ding!

  [Congratutions! Skill acquired: Exploding Chicken Summon.]

  Kazuki stared at the screen, dumbfounded.

  Silence hung for a moment.

  Then, the only word that escaped his lips was:

  "F**k."

  The system, ever so helpful, dispyed a fshy animated banner with tiny cartoon chickens throwing confetti.

  [Congratutions, Lucky Pyer! You have obtained a legendary poultry-based destruction technique! Prepare to unleash feathery chaos!]

  Kazuki rubbed his temples. "You cannot be serious…"

  A tiny golden chicken emoji appeared in the corner of the screen, winking at him smugly.

  Kazuki wanted to scream.
