There Is A Huge Problem With My Achievement System

Summary of the There Is A Huge Problem With My Achievement System

What if your kid's weird obsession suddenly became reality? Let me tell you about Ji Ruo.

He was just a normal little boy, right up until six years old when he got this *weird* idea. Buried his hands in the grain bin next door, trying to feel like he was doing some Iron Sand Palm thing from the movies. And man, that rice felt gritty between his fingers! Like he *was* channeling those crazy moves.

Then seven? He thought he was smooth as a diplomat. First one to greet the new kid at school, flashed that grin, felt all powerful thinking he'd bridged the gap... Yeah, probably still feels that way sometimes, but now it's kinda literal thanks to this system business.

By eight, things got weirder. He swore he could hear people coming from miles away – marching bands, actually! Felt like his special skill was unlocking just by knowing where everyone was headed before they arrived.

Wait a minute... what if all those childhood daydreams weren't just dreams? What if they were *literal* powers waiting to be activated?

He popped his hands back in the bin. A notification pinged: "Congratulations! Achievement Unlocked: Iron Sand Palm (Basic)." Oh yeah, tells me about that!

Now he had a system telling him stuff, guiding him on how to upgrade this weird ability. He figured the best way was just... putting his palms in the rice again? It seemed oddly consistent.

Grabbing a stick like old times, he tromped towards the paddy field. Ready to see if maybe, *just maybe*, being buried alive with grain could help him level up further. The thought alone felt strange enough for this whole "There Is A Huge Problem With My Achievement System" thing.
