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

After Boss Falco laughed to his fill, he turned to Nick and finally asked, "Kid, why do you want to waste your time like this? Is this how you intend to pay me?"

Nick just glanced at Boss Falco and sighed.

"Why am I here, boss?" he asked. Surely, the boss didn't insist on picking him up just to ridicule him.

Wearing an amused smile, Boss Falco sighed too and shook his head.

"At first, when you started singing, I said I'd let you finish first and tell you your voice isn't that bad. But halfway through, I realized I just couldn't lie like that. Damn," he said and laughed again, totally ignoring Nick's question.

Nick just shrugged. "Compared to how my voice was before, this is a vast improvement, and it will continue to improve. And I won't even call my voice bad when I've heard worse from top musicians."
