Stupid Sysco, Show Yourself!

I. The System Finally Wakes Up

Ahmed lay in the river, soaked, freezing, and questioning his existence.

The armored psycho still stood on the riverbank, staring down at him with the intensity of a debt collector who just found his target.

Ahmed groaned, his teeth chattering. "Ya Rabbi, I swear if this is my afterlife, then someone made a terrible clerical mistake up there."

Then—

DING!

A bright blue holographic screen suddenly flashed before his eyes.

[SYSTEM INITIALIZING...]

[LOADING...]

[ERROR! SYSTEM MALFUNCTION DETECTED!]

Ahmed blinked. "Huh?"

The screen flickered like a bootleg DVD.

[RECALIBRATING...]

[INSTALLING NECESSARY UPDATES...]

[PLEASE DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WHILE UPDATING...]

Ahmed sat up. "Wait, hold on. System? Is that you?!"

The words flickered again.

[YES.]

Ahmed jumped to his feet. "FINALLY! STUPID SYSCO, SHOW YOURSELF!"

The armored man took a step back, clearly disturbed by the crazy man screaming at an invisible screen.

Ahmed pointed at the system screen, fuming. "You tell me I've been in this hellhole for hours and you JUST NOW DECIDE TO WAKE UP?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS GETTING CHASED LIKE A STRAY DOG?!"

The system screen flickered nervously.

[ERROR. SYSTEM EXPERIENCED A FATAL GLITCH DURING TRANSPORTATION.]

[REQUIRED REBOOT DELAYED DUE TO LOW INTELLIGENCE LEVELS OF HOST.]

Ahmed's eye twitched. "Chnowa?"

The system continued.

[TRANSLATING...]

[HOST TOO STUPID, SYSTEM HAD TO FIX ITSELF FIRST.]

Ahmed's jaw dropped. "What did you just say, ya khra?!"

The system didn't stop.

[CONFIRMATION: HOST IS A LOW-LEVEL LIFEFORM WITH NO USEFUL SKILLS.]

[RECOMMENDATION: TEASE AND INSULT OTHERS TO GENERATE POINTS.]

Ahmed froze. "Wait. What?"

The system screen blinked innocently.

[SYSTEM-BOUND QUEST: BECOME A MENACE TO SOCIETY]

[TASK: TEASE, MOCK, AND ANNOY OTHERS TO EARN SYSTEM POINTS.]

[REWARD: ???]

Ahmed stared. Then he stared some more.

Then, after a long moment of silence, he slowly dragged a hand over his face.

"So you're telling me... I got isekai'd to a world of magic... where I have to TROLL PEOPLE for points?"

The system screen flashed:

[YES.]

Ahmed burst out laughing. "YA RABBI, THIS IS AMAZING!"

The armored man on the riverbank took another step back, clearly terrified.

Ahmed grinned. "Ohhh, this is gonna be FUN."

II. The Art of Premium-Grade Trolling

Ahmed climbed out of the river with a newfound sense of purpose.

The armored man raised his sword, still cautious.

Ahmed cracked his neck. "Alright, buddy. I need points. And you're my first victim."

The system beeped.

[NEW TARGET IDENTIFIED: ARMORED NPC #304]

[INSULT HIM FOR BONUS POINTS!]

Ahmed smirked. "Hey, khoya, what's with that ugly bucket on your head? You call that a helmet? It looks like something my grandma would use to cook couscous!"

The armored man flinched.

[+10 POINTS!]

Ahmed's eyes sparkled. "No way, that actually worked?!"

The system beeped again.

[TIER 2 INSULT UNLOCKED! TRY A HIGHER LEVEL TEASE FOR MORE POINTS!]

Ahmed grinned wider.

He looked the armored man up and down. "Man, do you ever take that thing off? You smell like a dead camel in the middle of summer. I bet even flies refuse to land on you."

The armored man took a shaky step back.

[+25 POINTS!]

Ahmed gasped. "THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!"

The system beeped rapidly.

[NEW BONUS UNLOCKED: TRIPLE DAMAGE COMBO!]

[INSULT THREE TIMES IN A ROW FOR A BIGGER PAYOUT!]

Ahmed cracked his knuckles. "Say less."

He took a deep breath and unleashed verbal hell.

"Wallahi, bro, your armor looks like it was made in a Tunisian scrapyard! You walk around like you're some kind of knight, but you fight like a malnourished chicken! And that sword? I've seen better ones in children's toy stores!"

The armored man visibly trembled.

[+100 POINTS!]

[SPECIAL BONUS: "YOU HURT HIS FEELINGS" ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!]

Ahmed was DYING.

"AHHH, I CAN'T BREATHE! THIS IS TOO GOOD!"

The armored man sprinted away in terror.

Ahmed wiped away a tear. "All my life, I've been told my mouth would get me into trouble. But now? NOW IT'S MY SUPERPOWER!"

The system beeped again.

[NEW QUEST UNLOCKED: FIND MORE PEOPLE TO ANNOY!]

Ahmed clapped his hands together. "Yalla, let's ruin someone's day!"

III. The Birth of a Walking Disaster

Ahmed marched through the forest like a man on a mission.

He had a goal.

He had a purpose.

And most importantly—

He had an unstoppable urge to piss people off.

As he walked, he spotted a group of monks in golden robes meditating under a tree.

Ahmed's eyes sparkled. "Oh, this is gonna be good."

The system beeped.

[TARGETS LOCKED: PEACEFUL MONKS]

[WARNING: THEY ARE VERY SERIOUS PEOPLE.]

[RECOMMENDATION: TEST THEIR PATIENCE!]

Ahmed grinned. "Bet."

He strolled over and plopped down next to them.

The monks ignored him.

Ahmed cleared his throat. "So... what are we doing? Meditating? That's cute. You know what's more relaxing? A nice cold glass of mint tea... which I bet none of you have right now."

One monk opened an eye, mildly annoyed.

[+15 POINTS!]

Ahmed smirked. "Oh, so you can hear me? Nice. You guys are really quiet. Makes me wonder if you're even alive. Maybe I should check—"

He poked one monk on the forehead.

[+30 POINTS!]

The monk twitched.

Ahmed grinned. "Ohhh, you're getting mad, aren't you? C'mon, don't be shy! Let it out! Hit me!"

The monks stood up.

The system beeped urgently.

[WARNING! THEY ARE NOW HOSTILE!]

Ahmed blinked. "Uh-oh."

One of the monks raised a glowing palm.

Ahmed gulped. "Haha... guys? It was just a joke..."

The monk fired a golden blast.

Ahmed dodged, screaming.

"I REGRET NOTHING!"

And just like that—

The Great Menace of Another World was born.

Epilogue: Ahmed vs. The WorldAhmed unlocked his system.Ahmed discovered that trolling = power.Ahmed is now being chased by furious monks.

And best of all?

He's never been happier.

"Best. Day. Ever."

"But he doesn't know what the system will do to poor 😂Ahmed,"
