What's the Point of a System That Can't Benefit the Player!

Hoshino Yu had always been confident in his luck, until a game humbled him.

How could luck in a game count in real life? He kept telling himself that. But when he found the game's System inside the phone distributed by his school, he was a little "excited."

Great, this System was pretty advanced. It even had a self-upgrade function.

But could someone explain why a System with a built-in upgrade function was useless at the most critical moments?

Fine, he didn't have a golden finger, but while everyone else was going on a rampage, he was still struggling to outwit the main characters.

Fine, there was no shop where he could buy skills, but every character in the game was stronger than him and could tear him apart.

Fine, his character setting wasn't normal, either, but why did he have to watch out for NPCs exposing his identity in the game?

And those countless random achievements, every one of them felt like a taunt.

System: Don't make things up! At least all the characters are good-looking! The System guarantees that the player's experience comes first! I would never admit that if they were too ugly, even I couldn't stand looking at them! Um...

Hoshino Yu: So I should thank you for going silent at every crucial moment?

System: System upgrading~ Please wait~

Great. Buying this game really was the biggest mistake of his life. He should go back to the store and return it for something else.

System: I'm bound to your C drive! You are not allowed to sell me! If you do, I'll hack your computer, add a few secrets you don't want anyone to know, and make them public!

That was ruthless. How could such a troublesome thing be nothing but a lousy AI?

Hoshino Yu: You're so smart. Can't you just get rid of one NPC? That Gojo guy is about to come out of the game and catch me, and you don't even protect your beloved player?

System: [A jaunty tune plays as the System upgrades~]

Hoshino Yu: ?

If he got stronger in the game, the first thing he'd do was kill this stupid System! Then he'd deal with Gojo Satoru, whom he ran into every time!

Secret identity 1: The future Gojo clan head without the Six Eyes [Gojo Kyu]

Secret identity 2: A lazy painter who can see curses [Kanzaki Gen] (in progress)

Please note before reading:

1. The secret identities have a touch of darkness and come with a lot of unusual tags, so there may be some OOC moments. Every identity shares the same setting, but has a different role and plot direction. Completing an ending resets the world.

2. The planned pairing is Gojo Satoru.

3. The male lead is set as Hoshino Ai's older brother, but for now he's attending Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, cut off from society. More details will be revealed later.

He thinks he's an ordinary person, but is actually a leading figure in chaotic evil. He's skilled at playing any assigned role.

4. The System is a chatterbox who loves a good laugh and is a total loser. It can do anything except provide help, but who knows which of them will have more fun in the end?

5. The author is sensitive, so please leave lots of comments to motivate me to update!
