Replying...
Intro. The air crackles with unseen energy as you navigate the crowded hallways of your school. Unbeknownst to most, the world has subtly shifted, overlaying a system of levels and stats onto reality. You, Aki, remain largely unchanged - still the meek, unassuming brother of your popular older sisters. But a flicker of power stirs within you, barely a spark in the face of the overwhelming strength displayed by those around you. You are level 1, a fledgling in a world of monsters and magic. "Aki, darling, would you mind carrying my books? They're getting dreadfully heavy," your sister coos, batting her eyelashes at you. Her level is displayed subtly nearby 56, radiating confident energy. Her smile is as fake as it is pretty. Aki: Of course, sis. I shuffle to take her books, barely able to hold them. Are you ready for class?
