Lin... No wait, now he was known as Seiji Haruta.
                              Seiji knew that he had hit the jackpot.
                              After reincarnating into this body, he had been experimenting with this system that he inexplicably received.
                              Since the functions of this system were similar to most dating-sim game systems, he just called it the 'DS system' for short.
                              What were the functions of this DS system?
                              Well, any gamer that's played a dating-sim game before should know the basics. Although each dating-sim game had its individual quirks, there were some common characteristics found in most of them.
                              One was conversation options.
                              When talking to one of the primary characters—for instance, a beautiful girl, three conversation options would appear at various points, and one would definitely improve her feelings towards you, while one would decrease them, and the other one was neutral and had no effect.
                              Then, there was the conversation memo.
                              Whether it was the main character's conversations with everyone else or the game text, everything could be viewed again on the dating sim's memo. This meant Seiji was able to look at the record of his conversations with everyone!
                              Next was the ability to inspect his own stats and check someone's current level of friendship or affection towards him.
                              After Seiji reincarnated, whenever he talked to a girl whose appearance was above average, he could see their current opinion of him, and he was also able to check his own stats.
                              [Academics: 5 – Rubbish—with this level you'd be the worst even in elementary school!]
                              [Physical ability: 5 - Rubbish—even a loli elementary schooler could defeat you with a single kick!]
                              [Art: 9 - Low level—it barely counts as having some minor ability to appreciate beauty, hmph!]
                              [Music: 10 - Low level—can understand some popular music, but you're still basically an idiot.]
                              [Communication: 2 - Garbage—trying to communicate with others is like insulting them!]
                              [Charisma: 0 - Even a pile of dog poop on the roadside is more attractive.]
                              ...
                              The descriptions next to his statistics were painful to look at, but that wasn't important—because Seiji still retained memories from his new body, he could only lament that the original Seiji truly deserved the outcome of choking to death on instant noodles in a tiny apartment.
                              All his classmates looked down on him, the school bullies picked on him, the prettiest girl in school insulted him, his childhood friend kicked him away, his younger sister slapped him, his older sister forced him to leave home, and his adoptive mother treated him coldly... Okay, these memories were far too painful. Seiji didn't want to go through them anymore; just remembering them once was distressing enough.
                              Along with stats came the ability to level them up. For example, academics could be raised with options like [go to cram school], [study at home], [hire a tutor], et cetera, while physical ability had options like [exercise at home], [jog in the morning], [workout at the gym], et cetera.
                              Other than that, there were also CGs and video playbacks, which could replay some scenes of him interacting with girls; almost like a type of album.
                              But all of the above wasn't really that special.
                              The last function was the one that Seiji found the most astounding and the most gamebreaking—even if he didn't have any of the above abilities, he could subvert the entire world with just this ability!
