NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1: [1] System
In a small dark room illuminated by a crack in the curtains, a boy who looked to be in his late teens laid sprawled out on a messy bed.
*Bang*Bang*Bang*
"Alex, get the fuck up your gonna be late" yelled a man from behind the door
The boy sat up and stretched his back as he mumbled uder his breath "Always fuckin yelling"
Standing up the boy grabbed his phone and walked into the bathroom, he took a quick shower but by the time he got out he was late.
Looking down at his phone Alex sighed "Probably gonna get suspended again"
He threw on a hoodie and a beat up pair of shoes before leaving the apartment. It was a cold dingey morning so Alex kept his hood up while looking down at his phone, he was reading a novel on his phone when he heard a loud screeching and saw a bright light before everything went dark.
...
"Huh... where am I?" Muttered Alex as his eyes darted around the dark void surrounding him

"Wait... what, awakening system what the fuck is that. I mean I know what it is, but... am I hallucinating, is this a dream" he looked down at his arms and pinched himself, feeling the pain he then tried to look around the darkness but saw nothing "The last thing I remember was walking to school then what sounded like tires screeching and a bright light... does that mean im dead? Or am I in some kind of a coma and this is a hallucination"
Looking at the system while in deep though Alex gave up.
"Well whatever it is I might as well go along with it and see what happens, worst thing that could happen is that I wake up in a hospital room missing my legs" smirking at his own joke Alex continued "Well if this is anything like those novels then I should be able to use it by calling, status"

Reading over the system Alex thought "So this system doesn't display any of my stats, but whats this shop?"
He clicked on the shop icon and four boxes appeared.
[World Tickets] [Weapons] [Items] [Skills]
"Oh shit, with world tickets can I travel to diffrent fantasy worlds and things like that" excitedly Alex clicked on it
Scanning over the page Alex saw that the world tickets were separated into three different categories, Low-Tier, Mid-tier, and High-Tier.
Looking over the low-tier tickets Alex recognized most of the names of them, the tickets were separated into anime, movie, and tv show categories and each one of them cost fifty shop coins, the ones Alex was most interested in though was the anime category.
He had grow up watching anime so the thought on being able to travel to a world where it existed made him extremely excited, but also nervous.
"I remember seeing that I had fifty coins on the status menu earlier, I guess they gave me just enough to buy a low tier ticket. But I still have to check out the other tabs"
Going back to the menu Alex clicked on the weapons tab next, looking over it he saw a few names he recognized like Murusame or Nyoi Bo but each one cost thousands of coins.
"Ahh it would be so fuckin cool to have one of those, to bad I can't afford it right now... but in the future I might be able to have all of them" Alex had a wide smile on his face as he imagined it "I can't afford any of this stuff right now so I shouldn't spend to long looking at it. From the name of the next two tabs I can guess what they have, so im just gonna skip them for now and get my first world ticket"
Opening the ticket shop Alex looked around for what felt like hours until he finally stopped on one.
[Highschool of the Dead: 50 SC]
[Purchase: Yes/No]
"I just wanna start here because it seems like I can get the most experience, nothing else" said Alex nodding to himself
Clicking the yes button, a little whie slip of paper appeared in front of Alex.
[Use/Combine/Trash]
"So later on I might be able to merge multiple anime's together, huh" mumbled Alex
He clicked on the use button and was immediately blinded by a bright white light.
"Ah fuck" said Alex as he shielded his face
...
Slowly opening his eyes Alex was greeted by the sigh of tall buildings and people walking alongside the street.
"Holy shit, it actually worked" said Alex in disbelief
[Time Until Apocalypse: 84:00:00]
"Ok, so I actually get so time to explore"
Looking around Alex was excited because of the beautiful scenery, after about an hour of walking Alex had found out that he could understand the people talking around him so he guess that it was a dub world.
Alex stopped at a convenience store and pulled a wallet out of his pocket.
"I don't know whose this is, but im fuckin hungry so to bad"
Walking around the store Alex didn't know what anything was, but he grabbed whatever looked good. He put everything on the counter and used a few bills to pay for the snacks.
As he was walking out of the store Alex felt something vibrant in his pocket.
"Oh I got a phone too, looks like whoever made the system didn't just dump me here"
Looking at the screen Alex read a message
[From Koharu: Where are you Alex? I though you was coming to the gaming cafe]
Contemplating on the message Alex gave in and decided to try it.
[Yeah alright, where at?]
A few seconds later Alex got an address sent and decided to go after entering it into maps.
After walking for a while Alex made it to the cafe and met up with the old Alex's friend, they played for hours but Alex was bad at the game and kept getting questioned about his change in skill.
By the time they finished it was dark and Alex ended up finding out the address he was staying at, it took him about half an hour to walk to a small apartment complex and find his house.
It was a small cozy apartment with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom though it was a little small Alex liked it because it was cleaner than his last apartment.
He took a quick shower and sat on the couch while think to himself.
"From what I heard from Koharu, we go to a school called Fujimi High which if I remember correctly thats the same school as the protagonist of this anime. I guess I can check it out and try to get to know some of the characters before my two days runs out"
After taking a shower Alex watched tv for a while before he flopped onto the bed and passed out.
