NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

- Chapter 59

Seiji opened his system after hanging up on Chiaki.

Thanks to all the extra unexpected points he received from his new [gifts] option, he had managed to gather the 75 points required for activating the [Bullet Time] skill tonight!

Compared to [actions], it seemed quite easy to rack up the points using [gifts]... Should he attempt to become a popular idol for real?

Seiji imagined what the hypothetical scenario would be in his mind. He would have to sing and dance passionately on stage, act in deep, emotional scenes on television, and he'd be surrounded by fans at all times... and so on.

'Yep, I'd much rather just be an otaku!'

He resolved to follow his heart.

Even though he didn't particularly dislike the feeling of being admired, he decided against developing himself in this direction. He felt that he'd get tired of it eventually, and perhaps he'd even get depressed about it...

Seiji didn't want to make a living which relied on others' adulation.

The system was only supposed to be a cheat to help him live more comfortably. If he had to do things he didn't enjoy in order to obtain more points, then it wouldn't serve its purpose anymore.

It was much like trying to obtain a reward in some game and having to stay up all night grinding a certain level over and over again. The game would be playing you, instead of you playing the game.

Getting more points was indeed important, but doing the things he truly enjoyed came first. That was what Seiji wholeheartedly believed.

Well, it was all simply ordinary logic.

And now, he finally obtained the ability he had desired for so long.

Just like when he purchased and activated the [fighting] card, a swirl of light surrounded the card as it hovered in front of him. A black shadow facing countless silver bullets was depicted on the card.

Activate!

This time, Seiji was mentally prepared for what would happen next. He ground his teeth while laying on his bed as his brain absorbed the knowledge...

He regained consciousness some time later.

'This learning process kinda sucks.' He rubbed his aching temple.

Seiji finally stood up and slowly observed his surroundings.

He could feel as if he'd changed imperceptibly. There was only one problem: how should he test out his new skill?

'I can't exactly go rushing into traffic to test myself against cars, can I...?'

Seiji came up with an idea within several seconds.

He went to the kitchen in his apartment and took out a sharp vegetable knife, which flashed with a metallic glint.

Seiji took the knife to the middle of his room before taking a deep breath to prepare himself.

Then, he suddenly chucked the knife upwards!

The knife spun upwards at a high speed, almost reaching the ceiling before dropping back down towards Seiji.

Seiji concentrated fully on the falling knife.

A sudden burning sensation rushed through his body, activating his hidden potential.

[Bullet Time], activate!

A subtle electric shock coursed through his entire body.

After that, Seiji felt as if the rapidly descending knife was actually falling down in slow motion.
