It All Began in 2008

I just want to write a lighthearted, cozy urban slice-of-life story. The protagonist is an ordinary high school student who hasn't been reborn. He has a System, but it only provides some assistance. He may be a little weak at first, but since he isn't reborn, that's perfectly normal for a high school student. Much of the school and friendship content is inspired by real events, with thirty percent truth and seventy percent fiction. There won't be any overnight riches or cheats that send him soaring straight to the top.

This isn't a face-slapping power fantasy where the protagonist shows off and defeats the whole world. If that's what you want, this isn't for you.
