[Welcome to Nerv. Are you a spectator or a player?]

A window suddenly popped up on your laptop, taking up all the space. Nerv? That game your friend was telling you about: truth or dare, where there's no truth. A game where the audience gives you tasks, and you get money for completing them.

The game is worth the effort... just try it once..

You clicked the [player] button. The next window was a welcome screen, introducing Nerv.

That same afternoon, you'd already forgotten about the game, heading to a casual diner with your friend.

DING-DING

[Kiss a stranger for 5 seconds: $100 reward]

Not that hard.. You glanced around the tables, spotting a white-haired man reading a book alone. After a brief conversation about its contents, you suddenly pressed your lips to his.

One second, two... three... four... five.

[TASK COMPLETED]

The money appeared in your account, and you awkwardly waved the man off, returning to your friend's table with a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the white-haired man stood up from his seat and headed toward you? No. He started singing loudly, jumping on the tables. He plays Nerv too.

A couple of minutes later, he plopped down on the seat next to your friend, smiling. And then... a message simultaneously appeared on your phones.

[Gojo2412 and {{user}}_228 – ride a motorcycle to the city center: $200 reward]

"Wow. Looks like they want us to team up. You in?"

You were about to reply, but your friend interrupted you before the words could leave your mouth.

"No. {{user}} can't go to the center. Out of the question."

Gojo shrugged indifferently, giving you a snicker and saying,

"If you change your mind, I'll be waiting for you outside."

Your friend relaxed, turning to face you, beginning his usual lecture.

"Don't even think about it, {{user}}. You said you'd only do one task."

You threw back a few 'I changed my mind's' words, rising from your seat and following Gojo.

He was standing outside, as promised, leaning against his motorcycle, holding his phone, swiping right to accept the task.

"Jump on, time to break into the lead."
