[Wele to the Party System!]

  [This system will allow you to add 5 members to your party, who will be able to gain vast bes!]

  [Bes include 150% stat growth rate, and the ability to use stat and skill cards!]

  Stats? Skills? What are those? Wait. Don't tell me that my system had something like a status window the eime. "status!" I yell into the air. And of course, a blue s appeared in front of my face. Fuck! Why didn't I think of this?!?!

  [Status]

  [Name: Alex Lee]

  [Stats]

  [Strength: D+]

  [Agility: D]

  [Durability: D]

  [Skills: None]

  All my stats are DD.??? doesn't that seem a little... low?

  [The stats in this system are judged from a scale of F-S.]

  [F: ant]

  [E: Low Human]

  [D: Average Human]

  [C: Peak Human]

  [B: Low Superhuman]

  [A: Average Superhuman]

  [S: Peak Superhuman]

  Ohhh that expins it. So I'm pretty much a slightly above-average human right now? Damn. I'm so low on the list. I've got so much to work on if I have to fight the Chitauri in a year!!! They're like meically enhanced aliens so their stats should be at least C+ at the minimum! And there are millions of them!!!

  As I was deep in thought, marvelling (a/n haha get it cuz marvel ha... mb) at my status window and trying to make sense of the implications, I barely registered the world arouil-

  "Uh... dude?" A voiapped me out of my trance. I blinked and turned my head, only to see Peter Parker looking at me weirdly.

  "You good?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "You've been staring at nothing for like... five miraight. Are you okay? Did Fsh hit you too hard or something?"

  Oh. I realized I had been pletely zoned out, standing there like an NPC doing their idle animation. I fot that Peter was here because I was too preoccupied with the revetion of a status window. No wonder he looks ed. Who in the middle of a versation and just stares off into space for 5 minutes?

  "I-uh, yeah, I'm good," I said, shaking my head to clear it. "Just... thinking of something. Ya know? "

  Peter didn't look vinced. "Right. Well, if you start glitg out agai me know."

  Great. I haven't even been in this world for a full day, and I already look insane. Right. On that notion, I should- "Hey Pete, wanna join my party?" I blurt out.

  "W-What? arty?" Peter suddenly looked really unfortable.

  ht. Just because I khis guy through ics for all my life it doesn't mean that he knew me as well... To him, I'm just a random guy that he met about an ho. Well, that was creepy. Must've sounded like I was inviting him to the Diddy party or something. "Okay- that didn't sound like I wa to sound. You know I'm like RPG video games there's like parties that take on dungeons together? It's something like that. I guess you call it like a superpower I have."

  "A superpower? What?" Peters's face is going through so maiht now. Surprise, fusion, suspi, amazement, I 't even all. "So- What does joining your "Party" do? And superpower? Those are real?"

  "Here. I guess I'll just show you." I ier to my party. Just then, I see a blue s appear in front of Peter's face. Whoah, since I'm the owner of this system, I see everybody else's system tabs as well! Cool!

  However, for Peter, it was not so cool. "Shit!! What the hell is this?!?!" Peter yells in panic before stumbling back straight on his ass.

  "That, my friend, is a party invitation. By accepting this, you'll be able to grow at 1.5x speed, and you'll get a lot more perks iure."

  "A-and why are you giving this to me?" stuttered out Peter, staring at me with wide eyes. As if he fot something, before I even say anythira, he quickly accepts the invitation. He probably believed it the sed he saw the system, and wao take the ce to grow stronger before I could take back my words.

  "Nice choice! Why I gave this to you, is because I saw the ambition in you. When you asked if I could train you, it felt like your eyes were saying that no matter what, yoing to get stronger."

  Peter stares at me for a sed before his brows furrow. "Wait, wait, wait—what do you mean you 'saw ambition' in me? Dude, we literally met about an ho. You don't know anything about me."

  Crap. He has a point. I look like a lunatic right now, don't I? what if he reports me or something? If he reports the system, Shield might get on my ass... Fuck.

  "Uh… you're right. That was kinda dramatic, huh?" I rub the bay neck, ughing awkwardly. "Okay, fio be ho, I just think you're smart and have a lot of potential, and I figured you'd be a good person to have on my team."

  Peter's expression shifts into something unreadable. His fingers fidget at his sides like he's trying to process everything at once. "So… you just walked up to me, out of nowhere, punched Fsh i, and now you're me a stat boost like some kind protag?"

  I didn't think this through. After only seeier in the id movies being a cucked and being a dork I fot he's like- a real person in this world. And also a genius. "...Yes."

  Peter blinks and gives me a dead stare. "That's the most ihing I've ever heard."

  I shrug. "Well, wele to my life. So, what do you say? You already accepted, so no take-backsies."

  Peter hesitates for a sed, gng at the blue s still floating in front of him. Then, with a deep breath, he squares his shoulders. "Alright. I have no idea what the hell I just got myself into, but if this actually help me get strohen… I guess I'm in."

  [Party Member Added: Peter Parker]

  I alsot he's a little high schooler. Damn, whearted asking me questions and stuff I thought I was cooked.

  "Try saying "Status". It'll show you your stats and stuff. Like an RPG." I say to Peter.

  "Status!" Peter shouts eagerly fetting he's still in public. (a/n MC ag like this wasn't him at the start of the chapter)
