Chapter 1- A Frog?!
The streets of Tokyo bustled with their usual chaotic rhythm—honking cars, chatter, the distant melody of some upbeat pop song bleeding out of a convenience store. Among the crowd, a high schooler weaved his way through humanity like a ghost—head down, eyes locked on his phone, fingers tapping with mechanical precision.
Shinozaki Yuuta. Black hair. Black eyes. Normal face. Seventeen years old. Profession: elite slacker. Status: dangerously absorbed.
He wore his black school uniform like a badge of reluctant honor—jacket crisp, tie barely clinging to life. In one hand, his schoolbag hung limp. In the other, his phone glowed brightly with the pixelated violence of Mage Mayhem: Infinite Wave.
"Alright, come on... Just give me Infernal Dragon Comet. I’ve already picked it five times—three more and it’s mine."
Yuuta’s thumbs danced across the screen as he guided his digital mage through hordes of grotesque monsters. Each time he leveled up, three new spell cards appeared. Choose wisely, stack the same spell, and eventually... boom. Three-star glory. The ultimate evolved spell. Annihilation in one tap.
"Heh. Who needs to whale when you’ve got brain cells?"
Yuuta grinned. He prided himself on being what forums called a ’strategic freeloader’. Never paid a cent. Always OP. His mage was already melting monsters with flaming meteors and laser beams shaped like serpents.
Cars passed him. People moved around him. None of it registered.
"Tch. Got offered Ice Prison and some other two useless spells again. Do I lock it in or reroll? Damn, maybe when I get home I’ll—"
Home. That reminded him.
"Ah right... which 18+ game was I gonna play tonight?"
