The Night was dead-silent except for the hooting of Owls, chirping of crickets, and swishing of winds. Amidst the silent night, there was a beautiful mansion glowing out of the blue.

It was a sight to behold, a house that most people can only dream about. On the second floor of that mansion, a window was open, unlike the rest. By that window sat a girl. She has long beautiful silver hair slightly disheveled over her body, baby blue eyes with a drowsy expression, implausibly artistic eyebrows, blood-red plump lips, and a sharp nose. Overall the girl had a very cute picturesque face.

'I guess I should sleep now' thought the girl as she got up and started walking towards her bed. From that window, a desolate full moon could be seen surrounded by a few stars in the boundless sky.

---------------------------------------------------------

The light of dawn seeped into my room. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. I saw people going for walks children running around and early morning bustling throughout the complex.

I live on the 7th floor in this complex, It's usually cold at night but in the morning the soothing warm comfortable embrace of sunlight feels refreshing.

I checked My phone which displayed 'Sunday 7:08 AM' Last Night there was an unusual occurrence inside my room. I found out that souls exist, Reincarnation is real and gods, Multiverse, Magic everything exists. Not in this reality but somewhere in the multiverse it does. And how can I Forget About that, yes I have a Guardian that is supposed to fulfill my desires… I named her Luna.

As for me, My Name is Atticus Whitlock, I just turned 16 today but I don't have anyone to celebrate my birthday with. Both my parents are dead and neither of them had any close relatives, No Aunts, Uncles, or anyone else.

But I am not completely alone, one of my grandmother's friends is in touch with me and taught me a lot of things, Since she doesn't have any children of her own she thinks of me just as her grandson. Although we aren't related by blood we are close.

As of now, I don't have anything to do since My final year in Junior High school Just ended and I have already given the High school entrance exam. I am pretty sure I will get admission to a good High School in my city. I don't need to worry about Education costs as my father was an Army Sergeant who died in the war. So, the government pays for all my academic expenses till I am studying.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

In the middle of the silence, my phone made a beep sound. Looking it up my grandmother had texted 'Hsppy Birthdsy Attixs'...

She seems to have misspelled it but I still felt warm in my heart that someone wished me. After all, she was the only star close to me amidst this boundless sky.

My whole life I have lived as a dull teenager who from other people's perspective would seem depressed and suicidal. But there weren't many people who came to comfort me. Maybe if I was a pretty girl some people might have approached me.

When I was a kid I was often depressed which made me a quiet kid, away from all the bustling and entertaining activities that children do in their life. I remember children talking behind my back calling me 'Creepy' and 'Gloomy'. At first, it felt unpleasant but after some time I started to ignore them and soon they started to ignore me too.

I picked up my phone and called my Grandma.

"Hello"

"Happy Birthday Atticus!"

"Thank You, Grandma"

"How are you celebrating today?"

"I don't have anyone except you, and you are so far away so I would be celebrating alone"

"Don't worry Atticus I am sure you will make great friends in High school and probably even have a girlfriend"... I talked to grandma quite a few times after which I ended the call and decided to go for a bath.

---------------------------------------------------------

In front of a regular square mirror inside a simple bathroom. A boy was looking at his face. The boy had brown hair whose bangs were on his face and an empty expression on his face. To any unknown person, he would appear as a regular high school boy.

[Name - Atticus Whitlock

Age - 16

Looks - 8/10

Current condition - Normal

Special Talent - {Charm LV 1}]

"A status panel?" said Atticus surprised by the sudden appearance of the system.

"Can I see other people's status too?"

[Only of selected targets]

"What does it mean by Charm?"

[It's the first ability given to you by the system, with charm you can naturally charm other women without having to do anything. They will just be be infatuated by your appearance And as the ability grows so will their love for you]

"It seems useful, so does it work on any women?"

[Only on the selected targets]

"Seems like there isn't much you can do without selecting the target Luna"

[…]

"Looks is 8/10 so, is it good or bad?"

[It's better than most people, the Average is 6 and 7 would be slightly handsome 8 is enough to be an average model with a good fanbase]

"Hmm that is good," said Atticus with a smile on his face as a teenager he was naturally worried about his looks.

[They will get even better with time.]

"Oh, How so?"

[As you will raise your likability with targets you will receive skills and buffs as rewards]

"So, It's like a game?"

[Think of it as those novels you like to read]

"...I think I understand the gist of it"

After taking a shower and changing into regular clothes I decided to go outside for a Run. Running is something I kept doing regularly... Maybe it kept me away from suicidal thoughts and is the reason I am alive. It does keep me fit though and that is a bonus.
