I Got a Notification on my Laptop and Got Legendary Powers

Eli tried to return to normal life, but the pull of the portal world was never far away. Days stretched into weeks, and though he reconnected with Sara and his friends, a nagging emptiness lingered. The portal had changed him. The lessons it taught couldn't be ignored, and the system's whisper was still alive in the back of his mind.

One evening, while scrolling through his cracked laptop, the screen flickered. The system reappeared, but this time, it wasn't just for him. A new notification blinked on the interface:

Global Event:

Chosen Players Detected. Synchronization in Progress.

Eli froze, watching as two new profiles materialized on the screen. Names and stats scrolled by:

Arjun Malhotra - India

Charismatic Visionary.

Yumi Tanaka - Japan

Disciplined Strategist.

Before Eli could process the information, the screen shifted, showing glimpses of their lives. Arjun was a magnetic playboy, his charm masking a deeper loneliness. Yumi was a studious perfectionist, her rigid discipline isolating her from her peers. Both had received the system's call, their fates intertwined with his own.

Arjun Malhotra:

In Mumbai, Arjun leaned back in his chair, a sly grin playing on his lips. The crowded club around him pulsed with music, but his focus was on his phone. A strange notification had appeared earlier that evening, offering him the chance to unlock his true potential.

"Sounds like a game," he muttered, dismissing it at first. But the notification wouldn't go away. It promised something more than the shallow thrills he'd grown used to.

Arjun had always been good at reading people, using his charm to navigate life effortlessly. But the truth was, he'd always craved something real—something meaningful. When the system finally activated, pulling him into the portal world, he felt the rush of purpose he'd been searching for.

Yumi Tanaka:

In Tokyo, Yumi sat alone in her dorm room, textbooks neatly stacked on her desk. Her life was a series of perfectly planned steps, each one designed to ensure success. But beneath the surface, she felt the crushing weight of expectations.

When the system's notification appeared, she was skeptical. Yet, the promise of a structured, quantifiable world intrigued her. Here was a chance to apply her meticulous nature to something extraordinary. As the portal opened before her, Yumi felt a spark of excitement she hadn't felt in years.

Eli's system chimed:

Mission Update:

Collaborate or Compete? Fate Awaits.

Azrael appeared, his smirk as enigmatic as ever. "You're not alone anymore, Eli. They've been chosen too. Let's see how you fare against—or alongside—them."
