《Damsel of Distress》Exposition

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ENTIRELY BASED ON HOMY'S TESTIMONY!!!
History of the creation of the system:
Only the God of creation existed.
He created more sub-gods because he was lonely. Sub-gods were made in a way that they couldn't oppose Creation.
Homy/Andrew, the god of humans, got created and was for some unknown reason free from Creations influence.
Proceeded to create humanity, giving them resistance to other godly influence, and gave them the potential to get powerful enough to oppose the gods.
Creation interfered. Sealing Homy/Andrew away. Also, sealed away the three powers humans possess. (Aura, Psy, Magic)
While sealed, Homy/Andrew develops the original system to allow humans to grow to their full potential and prevent further godly interference.
Homy/Andrew gets free and implements the system, but Creation and the other sub-gods can twist the system to make it not impossible like before, but still extremely hard for humans to reach their full potential.
How the system tries to stunt humanities growth:
Levels: To increase your level, you have to fight and kill ten demons on the same level as yourself, ignoring everything else.
Tier: The higher your Tier, the higher base stats and stat gain per level. Making it almost impossible for low-Tiers to keep up with the demon's growth rate. Need to raise level to 100 to reset to level 0 and increase Tier by one.
Class: Forceful stat-distribution, Skill experience multipliers, and a low degree of probability manipulation are employed to force people into positions where they are happy and can't do any damage.
Skills: If a person can run with a max speed that's 50% of his theoretical maximum and he has a level 50 running Skill, those add up to 100%. At that point, the person can't improve anymore and thus stops training sooner or later. But if both, personal ability and Skill level, reach 100%, a person can create an "ability" that puts the Skill into reality-bending territories.

Talents:
Talents are unique to every person and just a representation of how a person's natural talent interacts with the system.
Waves, Settlers, Heroes:
The Demon's strength:
The average strength, growth rate, and max level of demons depend on average strength and the highest individual strength in an area, as well as the total number of people. This is true at all times, but much more noticeable during waves.
Waves and Settlers:
Waves were made to try and kill off as many humans as possible while the settlers were made to prevent that.
Wave level:
Just by not dying during a wave, a person's Wave-level increases. This raises the average strength of humans significantly, thus increasing the demon's strength in turn, but doesn't make a single individual dangerously strong.
Heroes:
Heroes are the god's "puppets". Their natural talents are sealed and replaced with the "incarnation" ability, allowing them to borrow power from their respective gods. By being directly promoted to Tier 5, they lose out on 70 base-stat points in all stats that they would have received had they started on Tier 1. They are extremely strong but so dependent on their god's powers that their growth is stunted after a certain point.
They also serve the purpose of showing others that only "chosen ones" can become that powerful.

The cover is commisioned and done by: Artist: FatCatInTheBox ***** Before you lot bashes me up with my English etc., consider this: 1. This is my first novel. First conceptualized and written some 23 years ago. Only until last year that I did some improvisations and improvements to what I had kept in the dusty corner of my room all these while. This story sees the light of the day because I challenged myself, that's all. 2. English is the 6th language that I speak.And in RRL, I'm using British English mostly to write my story. 3. Easier said than done. Rather than subjecting me to subjective comments/reviews about the language, point it out and suggest an alternative. One or two would do just fine. It goes a long way. The Pledge - This story shall continue till it ends properly.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
