Short filmTranscript
00:00the daily grind of divine rewards. Chapter 1, The First Sign In. Alex Thorne stared at the
00:05instant noodle cup on his cracked coffee table as if it might magically sprout shrimp.
00:10It didn't. The steam rising from the spicy beef broth was the only warm thing in his damp
00:14basement apartment. His phone buzzed. It was a notification from his bank. Account balance,
00:21$4.32. Perfect, Alex muttered, rubbing his tired eyes. Just enough to buy one more cup of noodles
00:28to ponder how I'm going to pay rent next week. At 24, Alex had envisioned a life of architectural
00:34design and city skylines. Instead, he was drowning in student debt, working a dead-end job as a data
00:40entry clerk, and living in a place where the mold had mandatory quiet hours. He picked up the noodle
00:45cup, intending to finish his lukewarm dinner, when the world glitched. It didn't just blink, it tore.
00:51Reality shimmered like a heat haze on asphalt, and then a semi-transparent blue window materialized
00:56six inches in front of his face. Initialization complete. Alex froze, the plastic fork halfway
01:02to his mouth. Okay, he whispered. The mold has definitely become hallucinogenic. He waved his
01:08hand through the air. His fingers passed through the window without resistance, but the words didn't
01:13vanish. Welcome, user Alex Thorne, to the Omnipotent Registry System. You have been selected based on
01:19your exceptionally low karma score and desperate life circumstances. To help balance the cosmic scales,
01:25you have been granted the ultimate ability. Effortless acquisition. Rule 1, show up. Rule 2,
01:32profit. Is this a prank? Alex looked around his tiny room, searching for hidden cameras.
01:37If this is, punked, you guys are about 20 years too late. The text on the screen shifted. Daily sign
01:43in available. Would you like to sign in for, noodle cup apartment, location level, F, yes, no. Alex looked at
01:50the blinking, yes. His heart hammered against his ribs. It felt insane. It felt delusional. But his
01:57life was already a disaster. What was the harm in clicking a holographic button? He reached out and
02:03tapped, yes. A gentle chime, like a silver bell, echoed in his mind. Sign in successful. Location grade,
02:10F, poor. Calculating reward based on location theme. Reward granted. You have received, one case,
02:1724 units, of premium Ichiraku ramen, black truffle flavor. Wait, what? There was a soft pop of
02:24displaced air. Alex jumped back, knocking over his half-eaten dinner. The floor was instantly stained
02:29with red broth, but Alex didn't care. Sitting in the middle of his tiny floor space was a pristine,
02:35cardboard box with Japanese lettering on the side. Through the plastic wrapping, he could see the
02:40individual cups of ramen. Black truffle flavor. Alex knelt down, his hands shaking. He ripped the
02:47plastic. It was real. Cardboard. Plastic. The smell of high-end seasonings faintly wafting through the
02:53wrapping. I just got 24 meals for pushing a button, he whispered. He looked back up. The system window was
03:00still there, but it had changed. Daily sign-in cool down, 23 hours, 59 minutes. Accumulated sign-ins,
03:08one, tip, the better the location, the better the reward. Hospitals grant health potions. Banks
03:14grant currency. Ancient ruins grant magic. Explore your world, user. Alex grabbed his jacket. He didn't
03:21care that it was raining or that it was 11 p.m. on a Tuesday. Banks grant currency. He ran.
03:27He ran
03:28three blocks down to the central business district, his lungs burning, until he stood in front of the
03:32massive, granite facade of the First National Bank building. It was locked, dark, and imposing. He
03:39stood right in front of the ATM, under the glow of a security camera. System, he thought fiercely.
03:45Sign in. The blue window popped up. Location, First National Bank, Regional Branch, Location Level,
03:52C, Prosperous. Daily sign-in already completed. Please wait for cool down. Alex groaned, leaning
03:59his head against the cold glass of the bank door. Right. Daily sign-in. He couldn't spam it. He had
04:05to plan. He walked home slowly, the rain soaking through his worn-out sneakers. He was wet and cold,
04:11but for the first time in years, he wasn't afraid. The next day, Alex was a new man at work.
04:17When his
04:17manager, a man who smelled perpetually of stale coffee and unearned self-importance, dumped a
04:22stack of files on Alex's desk, Alex didn't flinch. Need these digitized by five, Thorn, the manager
04:28huffed. Sure thing, Mr. Henderson, Alex smiled. He was looking just past Henderson's ear, watching a
04:35countdown timer in his peripheral vision. Ten. Nine. Eight. At precisely 12.01pm, exactly 24 hours after
04:43he had opened the first case of Raman, the system bloomed. Daily sign-in available. Location,
04:49Omnicorp Data Center, Location Level, D, Corporate. Alex sat back in his creaky office chair.
04:55A data center. Dull. Corporate. What would that give him? Better software? A faster keyboard? He
05:02mentally selected, Yes. Chime. Sign-in successful. Location Grade, D. Reward granted. You have received,
05:10passive skill? Grandmaster Data Proficiency. Suddenly, a cold, sharp sensation flooded Alex's
05:16brain, like a brain freeze but without the pain. Information rushed in. Coding languages he had
05:22never studied, shortcut keys he'd never used, data structures that used to make his head swim now
05:26seemed as simple as addition. He looked at the stack of files Henderson had left. Before, that was
05:32eight hours of agonizing, soul-crushing work. Now, Alex's fingers flew across the keyboard. He didn't
05:39even need to look at the screen. He was creating macros, writing scripts, and processing data at a
05:44speed that should have melted his computer's processor. He was done in 15 minutes. For the
05:49rest of the day, Alex sat back, sipped bad office coffee, and planned his route. He was done with
05:55Grade D locations. Grade C banks were okay, but he needed to think bigger. What was the highest rated
06:01location in the city? Three days later, Alex stood outside the gates of the Oakhaven Military Research
06:06facility. The sign read restricted area. Deadly force authorized. He was sweaty. He was violating
06:13federal law just by standing on the perimeter line. But over the last few days, he had signed
06:18in at a gym, receiving, permanent vitality booster plus one, and a pharmacy, receiving,
06:23panacea pill, Q is all common ailments. He was addicted. He stepped over the painted yellow line
06:30onto the facility's property. Instantly, an alarm blared. Stop right there. Raise your hands.
06:35A voice boomed over a loudspeaker. Two armed guards in full tactical gear burst from a side
06:41gate, their rifles pointed directly at his chest. Alex didn't panic. He just waited for the system
06:46beep. Location, Oakhaven Military Facility, Black Site, Location Level, S, Legendary.
06:53Sign in available. Alex smirked as red laser sights dotted his chest. Yes. Chime. The sound was louder
07:00this time. Triumphant. Sign in successful. Location grade. S. Reward granted. Congratulations.
07:07You have received the legendary passive ability. Physical immunity. Kinetic.
07:12Description. No physical object moving at velocity can harm the user. Bullets, knives,
07:18punches, and falling debris will pass through or bounce off harmlessly.
07:22The guards opened fire. Alex felt the impact of the bullets, not as pain, but as small,
07:27harmless thuds, like being hit by styrofoam balls. The bullets flattened and dropped to the concrete
07:33around his feet in a pattering rhythm. The guards stopped firing, their faces pale beneath their
07:38helmets. Alex brushed a straight piece of lead off his shoulder. He looked at the system screen,
07:43which was already counting down to his next sign in. Tomorrow, he decided, he would visit the city's
07:49largest museum. He wondered what kind of reward he'd get for signing in next to a T-Rex skeleton.
07:59Welcome back to the table.
07:59I, the camera got a nice tier called milhões in peace.
08:02thoroughly. Max, I thought it was a good idea.
08:02Because I have the table in water, that was just beingliaved with Beste mantle.
08:02You
