After a failed suicide attempt, the 23-year-old debt-ridden school dropout — Nick Lewis, receives an invitation: [Become the Top Idol, and you shall be granted your deepest desire].

He accepts the invitation and becomes a ‘Pointer’, who can purchase talents and invest in his S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes with V-points. But to earn V-points…

Nick's eyes darted between Johan and the 200 dollars, his brow knitted with suspicion and confusion. 

"...What?"

Johan glanced at his friends and smugged.

"You heard me. The game is simple, actually. I will add $200 for every piece of clothing you take off.”

Nick stood up and spoke firmly, "I have to ask you to leave." 

Just as he was about to force the group out of the store, a female voice spoke in his mind, with the contents of her words remaining at the forefront of his memory!

[Task: Participate in Johan's strip game.]
[Reward: 2 v-points.]
[Optional: Win the game (+8 v-points).]

Top Idol: Rise of the Versatile Superstar

Nick hissed but still answered the call and put it up to his ear.

"Kiddo. Where are you? I want us to have a chat," Boss Falco quickly said.

"I'm not… at home currently, so maybe another—"

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up," Boss Falco cut Nick off.

"Boss, don't bother. I'm already going home. I can inform you when I'm back." He was starting to get annoyed.

Boss Falco laughed at the other end. "What the fuck? Inform me when you're back? Am I your wife?"

His tone immediately took on a more serious note as he said, "Kid, I asked you where you are."

Nick fell silent. 'Why is he pestering me like this? What does he want now?'

He sighed and answered, "I'm at a music store in the shopping district."

Boss Falco spoke with a smile, "Good. Wait there, I'll pick you up."
