Alternative title - Tears of YOUTH
----
*Ding!*
*An S-rank ninja approaches! His fighting spirit is unmistakable! Show him the power of your Youth!*
*Quest: Spar with the S-rank ninja. Rewards based on performance.*
Omni-Man hovers before me, his broad frame silhouetted against the sky, his mustache barely visible beneath the thick layer of blood coating his face. His suit—once red and white—is drenched in crimson, gore still dripping from his fingertips. His eyes, cold and piercing, lock onto mine.
"What's with that look in your eye, kid?"
"...I just—"
*Reject quest? Punishment - Stat progression locked until 1,000,000,000 pushups are completed.*
A single tear fights its way to the surface. I choke it down.
"I feel..."
I force a grin, even as my soul weeps.
"I FEEL THE NEED TO SHOW YOU MY YOUTH!
I slam my foot into the ground. The air trembles.
"SIXTH GATE-GATE OF VIEW, OPEN!"
A shockwave bursts from my body. My vision sharpens. My muscles scream as pure energy floods through them, veins bulging against my skin.
"SEVENTH GATE-GATE OF WONDER, OPEN!"
The ground beneath me explodes, water vaporizing in an instant from the sheer heat radiating off my body. Every nerve feels like it's on fire, my skin turning a furious red.
I meet Omni-Man's gaze. He doesn't react. His expression is the same as when he crushed the last man's skull in his grip.
I grit my teeth. If I'm doing this, I'm going all the way.
"GATE OF DEATH-OPEN!"

Liked the synopsis? Me too. Now, as you can probably imagine, this is going to be half comedy half action+progression. Don't get too hyped up because my update rate is abysmal, so you're honestly better off checking out this book once a year or so, but I digress.
What else to expect -
-no romance
-broken (autistic, not overpowered) system shenanigans
-determined, selfish protagonist
