The Quest
My name is Austin Thompson
I am a Average Highschooler
My grades are average
I am currently spending my highschool years as a bread shuttle
I can try yelling out "end school violence" as much as i'd like but no one ever shows up to do anything about it
Honestly where did it all start to go wrong?
Why do i have to live like this?
These days, novels and manga are all about getting quests, receiving rewards and growing stronger, Like characters in video games.
I wish i could do that too
"System Window! System Window! System Window! System Window! System Window! System Window! System Window! System Window! System Window!"
But that'll never happen...
Of course it wont
This isnt a novel or a manga...
There's no way something would appear out of no where
"HUH?!"

[WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGIN THE QUEST?]
[YES] [NO]
And from that moment on my life began to change...
There are two types of people in the world.
The popular kids and the loners.
If you're outgoing and active, you're a popular kid
If you're shy and introverted you're a loner
I think the terms popular kid and loner....
Are replacements for the terms bullies and losers.
Thats a change im thankful for.
Id rather be called a loner than a loser.
But something interesting has happened... To a loner like me...
'System Window'

Unsure whether i was dreaming or awake...
I kept turning the window on and off during class...
After doing that about 300 times...
No matter how unbelievable the whole thing was...
I couldnt help but believe that this was for real.
Begin the quest? What does that mean?
Do i just need to press the button?
"oops...uhh.."
"This is sexual harassment."
Replied hanna
"Uh... Well...Actually...There was..A Quest Window---"
Said max
"creepy little nerd.."
"Owie what was that slap for???"
"Hey Austin Go to the school snack shop for me"
"S-snack shop??"
"Yeah im craving a sandwich."
"W-why dont you go get it yourself?"
"for f***'s sake. Austin Thompson. You know how F******* great my legs look right?, And thanks to these legs I have 200,000 Insta followers. You know that right? If i trip and fall on my way to the snack shop...Will you take responsibility for my injuries?"
'Sigh.... There's no point trying to argue with her'
Thought austin
"Okay ill be right back."
"Great austin you're such a nice guy."
"Umm- hanna what about the money?"
"Money? You gotta be joking. You piece of s***. It'll be your treat"
'This is the kind of person i am.'
'Too scared to speak out...Against Injustices like this.'
'Im pathetic.'
"END SCHOOL VIOLENCE!"
Said by the bully after punching Austin
"WHOA! You okay, Austin?"
"End school violence..."
Replied austin
"You moron! You should've said that before you got punched!"
"You know im just messing with you, Right Austin?"
"R-Right...."
"Seriously, You're such a nice guy, Austin"
'Just you wait...One day...Im going to expose you all as bullies!'
Thought austin while controlling his anger
-While at home-
"IM SORRY MOM! LET ME DROP OUT OF SCHOOL!!.."
'Im sorry mom you're the only person i can talk back to.'
Thought austin
"IM NOT LEARNING ANYTHING IN SCHOOL! ID RATHER DROP OUT AND START BEING A YOUTUBER!"
"Dont make me laugh, Drop out of school??"
Replied by his mom
"SCHOOL'S NOTHING BUT A WASTE OF TIME! AND SO WHAT IF I GET INTO COLLEGE?! I'LL JUST END UP WITH SOME MEDIOCRE WHITE-COLLAR JOB!"
"I've got a knife in my hand right now, Dear. If you dont quiet down, I might do something I regret."
Said by his mom
"IM TELLING YOU! I CAN MAKE IT AS A YOUTUBER!"
"Haha, what a jacka**. Youtube Really?."
Said in a mocking tone by his sister
"SHUT UP AUDREY!"
"Make me."
"YOU GUYS DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!"
Austin runs to his room and slams his door
"DONT GO AROUND SLAMMING DOORS IN THIS HOUSE!"
"SORRY MOM THAT WAS THE WIND NOT ME!"
'Ugh...Why am i like this?'
