Ryo sat in his room, staring at his system screen like it was a math test he forgot to study for.

"So… I’m getting stronger, I have money, but still…"
He leaned back on his chair, deep in thought.
"Where the hell are the girls?"
---
[Ding! Stop being impatient. You’re not in a rom-com anime.]
---
"...That’s exactly the kind of story I want to be in!"
---
[Ding! Fine. New Mission Unlocked!]
> Mission: "A Fateful Encounter"
Task: Meet your first heroine.
Reward: ???
Penalty: You stay single. Forever.
---
Ryo jumped to his feet. "Oh, hell yeah. It’s finally happening!"
Step 1: Go outside.
Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit.
He threw on a hoodie, grabbed his phone, and sprinted out the door.

A Few Minutes Later – The Convenience Store (Again)
BAM!
The door swung open, and Ryo walked in with the confidence of a protagonist who finally got his harem storyline.
Ding-dong!
He casually browsed the snack aisle, waiting for fate to do its thing.
Then it happened.
As he turned the corner—
THUMP!
Something soft and warm crashed into him.
"Oof—!"
A girl had bumped into him, her arms full of snacks. The bags slipped from her grip, spilling onto the floor.
"Ah! S-Sorry—!"
Ryo blinked. The girl had long silver hair, striking blue eyes, and wore a prestigious high school uniform.
She was insanely pretty. Like, main heroine level.
---
[Ding! Congratutions. You have unlocked your first heroine: Yukari Aoyama.]
---
First thought: She was gorgeous.
Second thought: Why the hell was she buying three bags of chips, two chocote bars, and an energy drink?
Yukari looked up at him, her cheeks slightly red. "Uh… Could you help me pick these up?"
Ryo snapped out of it. "Oh! Yeah, of course."
He crouched down, helping her gather the snacks.
Yukari sighed. "I swear, every time I come here, I buy too much junk food…"
Ryo smirked. "For someone who looks like a noble princess, you sure have the diet of a college student."
She ughed. "And for someone who looks like a delinquent, you’re surprisingly polite."
"Hey, I’m not a delinquent—wait, do I really look like one?"
She grinned. "A little bit."
(Oh no. She’s cute AND teases me? This is dangerous.)
---
[Ding! Charisma +1.]
---
Yukari stood up, brushing her hair back. "Well, thanks for the help… uh?"
"Ryo. Ryo Kisaragi."
She smiled. "Nice to meet you, Ryo. I’m Yukari Aoyama. Maybe I’ll see you around?"
Before Ryo could respond, she paid for her snacks and left.
He stood there, still processing everything.
Did he just… meet a rich, beautiful girl who actually talked to him?
---
[Ding! Mission Complete!]
> Reward: +3 Charisma, 10,000 yen bonus, and "Fated Encounter Buff" (Increases chances of meeting important people.)
---
Ryo smirked. "Alright. Step 1 of the harem: complete."
Now, onto getting stronger.
---
[Ding! Chapter Complete!]
> Mission: Read the next chapter.
Reward: More power-ups, potential second heroine, and a possible fight scene.
Penalty for skipping: No new girls, and system will roast you harder.
Will you accept the mission?
