First Episode

After the peculiar dream, Saitama awoke, feeling a mixture of confusion and relief. He wondered if the dream he had just experienced was a manifestation of his own desires, a glimpse into the life he had always yearned for. However, his contemplation was interrupted by a voice coming from outside.

"We are here to conquer the surface!" the voice declared.

Saitama, as quick as ever, swiftly dressed in a suit within a matter of seconds. With an air of determination, he leaped from the balcony, executing a dropkick on the largest monster in the group, expecting his dream to come true.

To his surprise, the monsters who all saw Saitama's dropkick raised a white flag and surrendered. The other monsters vanished from sight. Saitama observed the scene and couldn't help but shake his head. "I guess dreams don't always come true."

Meanwhile, Haruto, who had also woken up from the dream, was deep in thought. The dream had provided him with a glimpse into Saitama's innermost desires, far beyond what the manga had conveyed. Saitama's longing for a worthy fight and the feeling of being truly alive had left a lasting impression on Haruto.

He asked Saitama to come inside to have a little chit-chat.

With a hint of hesitation, Haruto began, "I am sorry, Saitama. I know you've seen the news about me and how people misunderstood that I defeated the titan instead of you. I want to apologize for that."

Saitama, sporting a small smile, responded, "It's fine, Haruto. My will remains the same, both before and after this misunderstanding. It's no big deal. I'm just doing what I can to help. Whether I'm a savior or just Saitama, it's all the same to me. Besides, I just want to find a challenge, to feel alive, and to have a battle that's worth remembering. Being the strongest can be pretty lonely sometimes."

Saitama's words touched Haruto deeply, and he found his eyes welling up with tears. His voice quivered as he replied, "It's not just about being the strongest, Saitama. Your determination and the desire to truly test your limits... I understand now. It's more than just strength; it's about the journey, the search for meaning."

Saitama, noticing the tears in Haruto's eyes, asked with curiosity, "What happened to your eyes?"

Haruto, trying to hide his emotions, quickly responded, "It's nothing, probably just a mosquito that got in there."

Saitama, with a hint of amusement, quipped, "Both eyes at once? Now that's a level of coincidence I wouldn't mind having."

Haruto had gained a deeper appreciation for the hero before him. He now understood the depth of Saitama's feelings, the yearning for a challenge that could truly push him to his limits.

After the conversation, Haruto returned to his apartment. As he climbed the stairs to his floor, he suddenly caught sight of Jeeves from behind. Jeeves, who had been away for a month as Haruto promised him to let him visit his hometown,Jeeves was oblivious to Haruto's presence.

Haruto had an impulsive idea – he wanted to surprise Jeeves using his teleportation ability. In an instant, he appeared right in front of Jeeves. The sudden appearance startled Jeeves, and his reflexes kicked in as he nearly threw a punch at Haruto. If it weren't for Haruto's supernatural abilities, he might have been on the receiving end of a powerful blow.

Impressed by Jeeves' quick reaction, Haruto couldn't help but remark, "Wow, Jeeves, you really have lightning-fast reflexes."

Jeeves, equally surprised but relieved, replied, "Master Haruto, I've missed you so much."

Haruto playfully chided him, "Hey, keep it down and call me Haruto, not Master Haruto."

Jeeves quickly corrected himself, "Oh, sorry, Haruto. It's been a while."

Haruto grinned, "I've missed your nagging."

Jeeves chuckled in embarrassment, "Haha."

Haruto then got to the point, "Come on, I want to show you something." They both headed to their respective apartments.

As they settled in, Haruto explained, "So, Jeeves, I've filmed Saitama's fights, and I want you to judge them." He played the videos, and Jeeves watched with intense concentration.

After the video ended, Jeeves, with a sense of calm and admiration, offered his thoughts. "In the epic showdown between Saitama and the Titan, you captured a peaceful yet powerful moment. Saitama's calm confidence in the face of overwhelming strength was truly inspiring. The Titan's grandeur reminded us of the incredible potential we all hold. It was a beautiful reminder that in the biggest battles, there's a unique blend of strength and serenity, showing us the way to self-discovery."

Jeeves then remembered something, "Wait, wait, wait. Were you not the one who defeated that Titan?"

Haruto nodded in agreement, "Yeah, you can say that it was all Saitama's work."

Jeeves was puzzled, "Then what was that viral video about?"

Haruto explained, "Well, some person filmed me without my knowledge. All I did was rebuild the city."

Jeeves sighed, "That's unfortunate. There's quite an uproar in the public, and they're demanding that this 'Midnight' should reveal himself."

Haruto seemed taken aback, "I already have a hero name? Midnight?"

Jeeves informed him, "Well, someone on Twitter wrote a tweet about you and gave you the name Midnight. It went viral and now has 4.6 million likes."

Haruto's eyes widened, "Wow, 4.6 million likes... Just how many people is that in public?"

Jeeves inquired, "So, are you planning on revealing yourself?"

Haruto considered it for a moment, "I'll think about it when the time is right. Besides, I have something else to do."

Jeeves was curious, "What is it?"

Haruto leaned in and whispered, "I'll show you after it's done."

With all the video footage in hand, Haruto settled in as his editing window popped up and he began editing the first episode of "One Punch Man." As he meticulously crafted the scenes together, an alert popped up on his screen, displaying the message,

[Saitama's fight has been filmed]

Haruto had specifically set up a reminder to notify him every time Saitama's fights were captured, and now he was keen to review this particular footage. He recalled the moment and thought, "Ooooooooooh yeah, how could I forget about this part? I was wondering why this guy didn't show up."

The video captured the battle between Vaccine Man and Saitama, a confrontation that ended in typical Saitama fashion – with a single, overwhelming blow. However, instead of rejoicing in his victory, Saitama knelt on the ground, despair in his voice as he shouted, "Again in one punch? Damn ittttttt!!"

With all the pieces in place, Haruto worked diligently to arrange the scenes in the correct sequence according to the manga. First came Vaccine Man, followed by Saitama's battle against Crablante, then the showdown with the Titan, and finally, Saitama's dream, he also added Saitama's struggle and lonely moments.

After completing the episode's editing, Haruto watched the final result. While it was fantastic, he couldn't shake the feeling that something crucial was missing, something that would truly elevate the experience.

To gain an external perspective, Haruto decided to show the video to Jeeves, who was deeply engrossed in a game of chess. This time, Haruto approached without any surprises, and

Jeeves watched the video with amazement, although he found Saitama's life exceedingly dull,

"That was a fantastic episode, the fights, the character's lonely story, everything perfect."

Haruto admitted, "I think I'm missing something crucial, something really important."

He inquired about what aspects Jeeves liked in an action series, to which Jeeves replied, "Fights."

Haruto responded, "I have plenty of that. Anything else?"

Jeeves considered and then suggested, "Daily life."

Haruto replied, "I have that too. What else?"

"Character motivation."

Frustrated, Haruto exclaimed, "No, something else that people usually love but often overlook."

Jeeves offered another idea, "Music."

Haruto thought he had found the missing piece. "Yes, yes, yes, it's music. I'm missing music, Jeeves. But how am I going to make music? I don't even know a tune."

Haruto then asked, "Do you know anyone who sings, raps, and composes Music?"

Jeeves recalled, "I have a friend I haven't talked to in a while though. He's a rapper, singer, and composer, uh...but there's a problem."

Haruto inquired, "Problem?"

Jeeves hesitated before revealing, "Well, you see, he's a bit of a... Wierd type rapper."

Haruto was taken aback, "What?"
