Lukas didn't know how to react to all of this. He sat on his bed, placing his hand on his chin, analyzing his status. All his attributes were as low as those of a beginner player.
"Even though I've trained my body so much." Lukas had an enviable physique for his age. Moreover, he had trained three different fighting styles, even though he wasn't a player.
He spent a high amount each month taking lessons from high-level players.
"But it doesn't matter. I'll be able to evolve like the other players." But he wasn't too concerned about his attributes being at a low rank. It was normal for players to start with their attributes at this level and become more powerful over time.
Every player could evolve, even if only a little. It all depended on their potential and their class. There were classes of all types, but the most common were Swordsmen, Lancers, Mages, and Archers.
They were classes from RPG games.
However, there were special classes like the one "K1ller" had. A class called [Puppet Master]. A class that allowed its user to control monsters of various classes. An army of one.
"But my class is strange. Media Player. And it's an SSS class?!" It was common for each class to have a rank. K1ller's class was an S-rank. There was no higher rank than that.
For this reason, Lukas believed that this was a mistake of the System. An SSS class? That could only be a mistake.
"Especially a class like this." Lukas analyzed his System. The first thing he found was something called [System Banner]
It was a screen with images of some characters he knew very well. "Naruto... Hinata... Goku... Natsu... Yato..." Lukas began to murmur as he analyzed the images of those characters.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
All the characters were perfectly drawn as if they were beautiful fan art.
And just below the images of all those characters, there was a large button. [Summon x10]. But the button was red, indicating that Lukas couldn't use it. "Isn't this a gacha banner?"
Lukas wasn't an otaku, but he knew about the existence of these types of games. They have lost their popularity nowadays, but up to five years ago, they were very popular and generated fortunes for Japanese and Chinese companies.
"But what do I use this banner for? Am I going to summon these characters to fight by my side or something?" Lukas asked the System to explain, and the System opened a new screen with a simple explanation.
[Use Likes to buy Summons and test your luck! Try to get characters with high attributes and immense popularity!
After obtaining a new character, you can use them according to their attributes to facilitate your experience with the System.
Each character will have an attribute screen. Analyze each detail well so as not to misuse them.]
"But what will the characters be used for?" With Lukas's question, another screen appeared.
"Wow..." The screen that appeared was similar to his computer screen recording application. It had a button to start recording and even a button to start a live stream. And the image reflected in the "application" was what Lukas was seeing.
His eyes had been transformed into high-quality cameras.
"Hey, this is insane." Usually, hunters had to bring cameras like GoPros to record inside dungeons, but Lukas could record everything with his own eyes.
In addition to recording, there was also an editing program that was shown to him next.
It was a larger screen.
Lukas recorded something around his room before putting it in the editing program. It was like editing in some computer program, but the processing was much faster.
He just thought, and the edits happened.
He could do it all by thinking: music, cuts, and special effects.
And when his video was ready, he could post it on YouMedia. A new screen appeared, asking him to create a name for his YouMedia channel and choose a profile picture. However, he refused to do that at the moment.
"Before I go to the dungeon to record something, I need to get stronger. This is troublesome." After all, that's what people wanted to watch.
He would need Likes to summon characters; without recording videos to post, he wouldn't gain likes.
"But besides summoning characters, can I use Likes for other things?" Lukas asked the System.
[Media Market]
[Media Market is a shop for items, weapons, and abilities. You can buy everything using likes!]
"I see, I see..." Lukas nodded his head and crossed his arms. He was satisfied with that. "And my attributes, can I increase them?"
[Attribute Gain]
[Your attributes will increase according to your popularity, engagement, and level gain.]
"Engagement? Maybe the more likes I earn, the more my attributes will rise. But that will certainly be complicated. I'll probably need to earn 100k likes to increase just one rank."
One rank change would completely alter a player's strength.
"Right. I've looked at everything. So I need to record videos, post them, earn likes, and evolve using those likes. This is a complete mess, and I still don't understand what the Gacha has to do with this."
Lukas's head was a mess, but what mattered was that he had now become a [Player]
