Hey, at least his charm was pretty high, that probably means he maintained his original looks. Woohoo…
Jacob continues reading the paper.
"You must've checked your stats by now. To further increase them, you would have to awaken stats through events. Some can range as easy as defeating a few slimes or can be as hard as defeating a dungeon a rank higher."
"So there are dungeons in this world." Jacob jotted that fact down in his mind.
"Additionally, there will be viewers and gods watching you. Every time you hit a certain threshold of views, you'll be able to roll the gacha. To unlock the gachapon, just state [gacha] in your head."
"There's gambling too?!" Jacob exclaims.
Gacha
Error, to unlock the gacha, show must hit 1000 views.

"If you gather the attention of a god, they can grant you abilities and even stat buffing items! And one more thing, every time you die, you'll respawn, but you'll get sent back to spawn and your stats will be set back to original or get significantly debuffed."
"There's no way you expect me to start my adventure so soon after reigniting my trauma. Can you hear me? What will happen to me in the real world? What will happen to my family?"
"Ah, so, the state of your family and friends will depend on how much you succeed. Time here moves a lot faster than time in your world. As long as you meet my standards, I can assure the safety of the people you care about. Without further ado and because a certain someone is getting cranky, start the broadcast!"

God of War has entered the broadcast.
God of War has sent a message.
"This is my favorite show, don't ruin it pretty boy"
"Oh damn, shit's getting real. Okay, hi! My name is Jacob and on today's show, I'll be trying not to get killed." Jacob tried to sound confident.
The first thing he should do was to explore. He grabbed the piece of paper and shoved it in his pocket before walking. This is the beginner area, there will probably be some slimes to fight. But considering his strength value, he'll probably be too weak to defeat them.
"So, there seems to be a lot of grass here, who would've known. It's not like we're in a forest or something. To keep you entertained, how about I tell a joke? What do you call an alligator wearing a vest? An…investigator. Funny right?"
"Uh, what's a cat's favorite color? Purrple. Get it? Cuz cats purr? Hahaha" He sucked. Like, bad. This was worse than watching a dad try stand-up at a funeral.

"Boooo. Get this guy out of here!"
"Geez, I'm sorry. I'm not used to this broadcasting thing. Oh, a stream of water. I've been missing my handsome face." Jacob looks at his own reflection, but wait, something's off. His usual sharp features took on a much softer look, even his prominent jawline disappeared.
Throughout this time, Jacob was pretty distracted with all the sudden things that were happening, so he didn't really pay any attention to himself. Now focusing, he realized his once toned and muscular arms were more…fragile, even feminine looking.
"NO, FUCK! MY GAINS!" Jacob shouts out in despair.
God of War sends a message
"What are these gains you speak of?"
