The Dating Debuff System

Chapter 1

My name is Michelle, a small-time actress with a pretty face and a kind heart.

Originally, I could have had a sweet romance and shone brightly in the entertainment industry. But to my dismay, at the age of 18, I developed a bizarre condition that made me fart frequently. Whenever I had feelings for a guy, my body seemed to sense it and would start farting uncontrollably. The result was-

During a confession: "Michelle, did you eat something bad? Your farts stink!"

While dating: "Let's break up. I can't stand you farting every time we kiss!"

During a blind date: "Miss Simpson, you have the face of an angel, but I can't be with someone who farts like that."

...

At first, I thought I had some weird digestive issue and sought out famous doctors, but to no avail. Until one day, a voice sounded in my ear.

-Ding Dong

"Hello, host. My name is Alex. You have been bound to a system that makes you fart whenever you fall in love."

"As your relationship progresses, the system will increase the smell and frequency of your farts."

What?! This ridiculous and disgusting system was a first for me. Other people's systems rewarded them with money for completing tasks, and they couldn't be happier. My system, however, rewarded me with stinky farts whenever I fell in love!

The world had truly turned into something beyond my imagination...

"This is not a reward, host. This is your punishment."

Huh? What did I do to deserve such a catastrophic punishment??

The system searched and then played a video for me. In the video, I was bullying a little boy by secretly putting a cockroach in his backpack, scaring him so much that he fell and rolled on the ground.

"After Charlie gave you a resentful look, we bound this system to you, which activated when you turned eighteen."

"As long as he personally forgives you, the system will automatically lift the punishment."

"I just thought he was good-looking and wanted to bully him to get his attention."

"Yes, host, you did successfully get his attention. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here..."

Good grief, after a thorough search, I discovered that Charlie was now a movie star. No wonder I was still a little known artist...

So, I spent a lot of money posting a reward online for real-time updates on the movie star Charlie.

System: "Host, you could have just asked me directly."

"Hmph, I'd rather die than bow to evil forces!"

"Host, perhaps you should look in the mirror. It seems the evil force is you??"

I pretended to be a die-hard fan of Charlie and joined his fan club. Soon, I found out where he lived. To end my stinky fart condition as soon as possible, I rushed to his villa.

Just as I was worrying about how to get in, Charlie appeared in front of me. I immediately dropped to my knees, bowing low to the ground.

System: "Ahem, host, you really don't need to be so... sincere."

Me: "What do you know? This is called striking first to gain the upper hand!"

System: "Yes, I do know, because my name is Alex."

I looked up nervously and stole a glance at Charlie, only to see him frown slightly.

"Charlie? Do you remember me? The one who put a cockroach in your backpack when we were kids, Michelle."

After a moment of silence, the movie star slowly spoke, "Yes, I remember."

Oh my gosh! He really remembered, no wonder I was bound to this damned system.

"Please forgive me. I'll do anything to make it up to you."

I grabbed Charlie's hand and cried bitterly, showcasing my acting skills to the fullest.

System: "Hmm... the host indeed has great acting skills."

Charlie leaned down, seemingly interested.

"Are you serious?"

I nodded vigorously like a bobblehead, "Absolutely!"

"I need a supporting actress for my script. You can take the role."

"Oh, what??" Such a good opportunity??

Charlie walked into the villa without looking back, and I finally came to my senses.

"But you haven't said you forgive me yet!"

System: "Host, it seems you'll have to wait for the next time."
