Aiden Psycho had always felt that he was a person without troubles and always believed that he would continue living carefree like this.
But just today, a phone call ruined his whole day's good mood.
Inside the office, Aiden Psycho's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw it was his mom calling. He immediately made a hush gesture to the supervisor who was enthusiastically chatting with him about a newly released game, and then answered the call.
[Son, are you off work yet?] As soon as the call connected, his mother's voice came through.
Aiden Psycho glanced at the clock on the desk, then looked at the supervisor—who had come specifically at the end of the workday to talk games in his office—and shook his head, "Not yet, I'm working overtime."
[Oh.] On the other end of the call, his mom paused for a second, then continued, [Then when will you be free?]
"What's up?" Aiden Psycho sensed something off in her tone and asked.
[Well, your aunt has recently found a girl for you, also working in the system (government sector), looks pretty good. She was asking when you'd be free to come back home for a bit and meet the girl…]
"Hold on." Aiden Psycho interrupted his mom, "Didn't I already say a long time ago that I don't want to get married right now?"
[It's not marriage, it's just a meeting.] His mother said tactfully.
"Still no. I'm really busy with work." Aiden Psycho glanced at the supervisor and said with a hint of guilt.
[Busy? Who are you trying to fool? Don't I know your job? Nine to five, weekends off, normal holidays. Don't even know how easy it is.] His mom raised her voice and shouted, [Cut the nonsense. You must come back this weekend to meet that girl. Otherwise, I'll bring her straight to your workplace.]
Without waiting for a response, she hung up the phone.
"Sigh!" Aiden Psycho let out a long sigh, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and wearily rubbed his temples.
At this moment, the supervisor beside him asked with a smile, "Aiden, your family's urging you to get married?"
Aiden Psycho helplessly nodded and said, "I really don't get what my mom is thinking. I'm not even that old. Why rush me into marriage so early? I haven't had enough fun yet."
The supervisor shook his head and said, "You're already in your mid-twenties, it's about time to find a girl to marry. And marriage doesn't stop you from having fun. Look at me, I'm over forty and still play games and watch anime just like before marriage."
"That's different." Aiden Psycho waved his hand forcefully and said, "Mainly, I'm used to being alone."
"Really? You think I don't know how some otakus think these days? Too obsessed with the virtual world." The supervisor shook his head, clearly not agreeing: "You can't stay alone forever. No matter how fun games are or how good anime is, you can't find a wife in them. Eventually, you have to return to reality. Take my advice and go home this weekend. If you feel short on time, I'll give you two days off."
Then, just like Aiden Psycho's mom, he didn't give him a chance to speak and turned around to leave the office.
Watching the supervisor's back, Aiden Psycho's mouth twitched. In the end, he sighed and muttered, "Obsessed with the virtual world, huh? Sigh, but games really are fun, and anime really is good. If only I could experience it all personally, how amazing would that be? Plus, I could meet female characters from games or anime. If only… never mind."
He didn't say the rest, because he knew it was impossible. It was just a dream.
With a slight sigh, Aiden Psycho tidied up the things on his desk, then got up and left the office... It was time to go home and play games.

[Late at night.]
Inside the bedroom, Aiden Psycho was fully immersed in gaming.
He was currently playing the Resident Evil 4 remake, controlling Ada Wong as she slaughtered enemies in the village.
Just as he was having fun, a synthetic electronic voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
[Scan complete. Target individual meets all conditions to bind the Dream Come True System. Beginning binding.]
[Ding, binding successful.]
"What's going on???" The sudden voice left Aiden Psycho full of question marks. He scratched his head and looked around the bedroom, but saw nothing.
He thought he was hallucinating, but then a voice echoed in his mind.
[Would the host like to initiate teleportation now and go to the plot world?]
"Teleportation? Plot world? Wait, what are you?" Aiden Psycho immediately widened his eyes.
[This system is the Dream Come True System, created specifically to realize the host's dreams," the system answered]
"You're joking, right?" Aiden Psycho still didn't quite believe it and shook his head vigorously. But the voice in his mind returned again.
[This system never jokes.]
At the same time, a semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of his eyes, showing his personal information, with his attributes fully quantified

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Hiss!"
After reading the info on the translucent screen, Aiden Psycho gasped.
Hearing voices in your head could still be chalked up to hallucinations, but the screen in front of him—he could clearly see it. Now he had no choice but to believe.
[So, host, shall we begin the teleportation?] As if waiting for Aiden Psycho to calm down, the system's voice sounded again after a while.
"Uh, wait a bit. I have a few questions," Aiden Psycho said cautiously after thinking.
[Please ask, host.]
"Can I refuse to enter?" Aiden Psycho asked his first question.
[Of course. In fact, the host has the right to refuse. But... would you really do that?] the system replied, then countered.
Aiden Psycho awkwardly coughed a few times, neither confirming nor denying it, and instead asked his second question, "After entering the plot world, are there mandatory tasks? Will there be punishment for failure?"
[No. This system exists to serve the host. It will not force anything on the host. Even if a task isn't completed, there will be no punishment. Everything is up to the host to decide.]
Aiden Psycho was very satisfied after hearing this. 'Now this is a good system.'
Then he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, when do we start?"
[Now.]
