Opening my eyes again, I stood up and looked around, trying to "digest" everything that had happened last night. It wasn't a dream or an illusion. I'm sure it was real.

I'm probably the craziest guy in the world if it was all an illusion. But there is only one way to know if it was real.

Swallowing my saliva and sighing, I said the word that the spirit had said to me, "Summon." However, when I said it, nothing appeared. So I gave a frustrated smile and sat down on the bed.

"As I imagined..." I closed my eyes and sighed again. I am going crazy.

I began to think of many possibilities of mental problems I might have until I was surprised by a robotic female voice. I lifted my head and widened my eyes when I saw that screen in front of me.

A transparent bluish screen was there, floating in front of my eyes. Startled, I tried to touch the screen. My hand passed over it as if it were a hologram.

On the screen was written what the voice had said.

[ Welcome to the Summon System ]

The font used was the same as the one in the book I had found... It's a font typically used in books; it's not surprising.

I was silent for a while before saying anything else.

"What is Summon System?" I had been given an abbreviated explanation that I could summon items and characters from manga and novels, but I wanted to know how that would work in more detail.

[ The Summon System will allow you to Summon characters and Items from physical Manga and Novels stored by the System. Below are the currently stored works. ]

[ High School DxD ]

[ Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World ]

[ The Saga of Tanya the Evil ]

[ Viland Saga ]

[ KonoSuba ]

[ Naruto ]

[ Noragami ]

Besides those, there were many other works that I didn't know very well since I wasn't an otaku. The whole list appeared on a giant blue board from the ceiling to the floor.

"Okay, I just need to choose a character?'

After my question, something began to materialize in front of me. I held my breath at such a sight. A few seconds later, the first volume of Naruto was in my hands. So this is where all the manga and novels are.

They were all stored.

[Exactly. To use the Summon system, you must read a volume of manga or novels. After that, the list of items and characters you can summon will appear here... ]

Another giant board appeared in front of me. It was separated into two categories.

[ Characters ] [ Items ]

There was ample blank space in both lists.

"I have to read a manga/novel, and then I'll receive the list of what I can summon (characters and items) from the work I read. That's crazy..." I giggled and scratched my cheek.

[ Of course, there are limitations. Summons can only be done once a day, and you can only summon one character per available bed in your house. ]

"Huh? That's extremely well thought out. So I need a bed for each character? That's funny...."

[ And don't forget that ]

In front of me, a large bar with several numbers zeros began to glow. Behind all those numbers, there was a symbol, which was "$."

"That's..."

[ Daily quests and main quests will give you the money you can withdraw in a unique ATM that can be placed wherever you want and can also be moved when you want. ]

"..."

[ You are free to sell items and gather money outside the System]

"I see..."

[ If you need help, I'll be here ].

"Wait, don't I have a Status or something? I remember an anime or a story I had seen on the internet that people graced by gods usually get a Status to evolve their strength."

[ Ah, about that. Here it is. Skills will be shared between you and your servants, so your only available skill will be "Evaluation" so you can see your servants' skills. ]

"Servants?"

[ Yes, you can call them that ]

"I see... Servants. Thank you, system."

[ No problem, enjoy your new life ]

Before the voice disappeared, a huge Smile Face appeared floating in the air. After that, I began to wish for those translucent screens to appear.

All the screens in the system appeared floating in front of my eyes.

The list of manga and novels, list of summons, money, my Status.

Speaking of which, my Status is this.

***//***

[ Name ] - Erick Steve

[ Class ] - Master Summoner

[ Strength ] - 10

[ Agility ] - 10

[ Stamina ] - 10

[ Magic ] - 10

[ Abilities ]

Evaluation

***//***

All the numbers were low, and I didn't know if I could evolve. But being honest? What the fuck is going on here? THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! THIS IS A TREMENDOUS MADNESS!

Finally facing reality, I got up from my bed and went downstairs. After arriving downstairs, I prepared another noodle and ate it because I had stayed so long in the room that I was already hungry.

"Instant noodles are not enough... In less than two hours, I am already hungry again."

Ah, but is this the time to think about it? This system is here, and I need to use it, but I'm afraid of doing something stupid and causing trouble for the world. I need to know what to do now...

Even if that spirit says that the servants will be loyal, what would happen if Goku threw a Kamehameha in the middle of the city? Not that I'm thinking of summoning Goku.

"But I need to do that. The system is asking for it." Opening the main screen where my Status was, just below, a notification caught my attention. It was a rectangular board with [ New mission ] written on it.

When I opened it, the mission was simple.

[ Summon your first item ]

It wasn't asking me to summon a character, so that was fine. But before completing the mission, I need to read the first volume of some work. Let me see... Which one should I read? Hm...

"Naruto is an interesting work... But there is a big problem... I will only be able to summon the items that appear in the first volume? Maybe not every item in work will appear, but the most important items..."

Okay, I think I'll read the first volume of One Piece. I don't know anything about the work. It's a work about pirates; maybe I can summon gold coins, right?

I finished the first volume of One Piece quickly.

It was a good manga.
