akaashi wakes up to a voice yelling his name from downstairs. "what is it, mom? it's saturday today, and it's only 9 am." the young boy yawns with his eyes closed. "uh, keiji. your friend's here." what his mom says, makes him open his eyes quickly.
and there he is, bokuto kotaro, smiling at him, looking at him while he's still wearing his bear pajamas. "bokuto-san. y-you're here." the sitting boy waves at him. "go shower, put some clothes on. we're leaving in an hour." before akaashi could protest, bokuto pushes him to the stairs, "go on."
akaashi comes down and sees his mom laughing because what bokuto probably said. he shakes his head and makes his way towards the two. "you ready?" the crazy haired dude asks, and he gulps before answering.
"bokuto-san, where are we going?" akaashi asks while being dragged by bokuto, he's dragging his arm gently. "should we go to the movies? or the amusement park?" the younger thinks, "it'll be more fun in the amusement park, i guess." bokuto nods, "good choice. let's go."

"bokuto-san. we've probably rode all the rides here, let's take a break." akaashi says with a sigh. one thing he learned about, bokuto likes to show off. it's obvious he's scared to death, but he pretends he isn't. for what? akaashi doesn't know.
"yeah, i'm getting hungry too." bokuto looks horrible, he looks like he's seen a ghost. "what's with that look?" the smaller asks when he notices bokuto's face. "what? what face? i don't know what you're talking about." the taller tries to play it cool.
"well. i won't judge you, bokuto-san." akaashi gives a small grin, and bokuto screams so loud that people started to stare at them. "y-you smiled. wait, i think i'm gonna faint."

"bokuto-san, p-please calm down." akaashi stutters, scared that the taller might actually faint. "akaashi, you're so beautiful." bokuto's shocked face turns into like a puppy who's admiring his owner. "please calm down, bokuto-san. people are staring at us." the older ignores the other and continues to stare at him.
bokuto feels a tug on his jacket and sees akaashi pointing to a small ramen restaurant. "bokuto-san, i wanna eat there." the taller agrees right away. it's the first time akaashi touched him, well technically he touched his jacket, but still.
-
"bokuto-san, don't you think it's getting pretty cold these days?" akaashi starts a conversation while they're walking back to his house. akaashi gets confused when the other doesn't answer, then he feels a jacket being put on him. "if you wanted my jacket, you could've just said so." bokuto says with a grin on his face.
"th-that wasn't my intention, bokuto-san. this is kind of cliche." akaashi chuckles, and the other freezes. "i like you, akaashi. not like that! i like you as a friend, you know, we balance each other." bokuto scratches the side of his head, feeling embarrassment of what he said.
"well, thank you for the jacket, bokuto-san."

8 86Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
