My next story is in the works.
When he was eighteen, he tried to drown himself in a river. After he woke up, a voice suddenly appeared in his head, claiming to be the Hope System, a system dedicated to guiding desperate people toward hope.
Dazai: ? How do I do that?
System: If you save others, you'll be saved, too. If you bring hope to other people, they'll bring hope to you!
Dazai: Heh. (Lies back down.)
System: Just complete simple missions in four worlds, and you can have any wish you want, Host!
Dazai: ...
System: Any wish! (Emphasis.)
So he crawled out of the water and began dutifully and tirelessly completing missions with the System.
World One: "Metsu"
The mission is to eliminate the Demon King. Great, that sounds easy... Did you give me the wrong mission?
World Two: "Juu"
The mission is to save a boy who stumbled into danger because of the cruel summer... Easy. Just eat more fruit during the summer.
World Three: "Nokogiri"
The mission is to fall in love with a beautiful woman...? Please add her species after the word "woman," thanks.
World Four: "???"
No mission, just enjoy yourself... Boss Oda? Armed Detective Agency Ango? My Ruffian Trio can't possibly be this weird!
After all the missions were finished, the System kindly asked what he wanted as his reward.
Dazai: I'm full of hope now, so let me die full of hope!
System: ...
Note:
1. The protagonist is Dazai. Someone has feelings for him, but there's no pairing. The timeline is after Dark Era and before the main story.
2. Writing and reading should be fun. If you drop the story, you don't need to tell me. Thanks!
3. This is the story of a boy exploring his way from one side to the other.
Theme: Eat well, sleep well, and live well.
