Reel It In

Marcus Reed has zero dollars, one rented body, and three days of unhelpful silence from a System that won't activate.Then a banner ad changes his life: a seven-day reality TV competition where contestants drag magnets through a river and keep what they fish up. Free food, free lodging, and a million-dollar prize. He signs up. The System wakes up.His first daily check-in awards him an Omni-Magnet — a forty-pound iron ring that, according to its description, attracts any metallic object. The competition's other hundred contestants are showing up with hobby magnets ordered off the internet. This is going to be easy.Day one. Nine hours of casting. Zero metal recovered. An old man with a string magnet wanders by and pulls a bicycle out of the exact spot Marcus has been working all morning. His livestream chat is having the time of their lives.Then on the very last cast of the day, Marcus's magnet drags up something that wasn't supposed to be in the river.Now there's a body on the bank, a Captain who can't decide whether Marcus is a witness or a suspect, an audience that just spiked to a million viewers, and a [System Appraise] readout naming a victim no one's identified yet. The competition isn't over. The body count might just be starting.---✅ Self-aware comedic LitRPG · System mechanics with daily progression ✅ Anti-hero MC who knows every isekai trope by heart and lampshades them all ✅ Reality TV livestream framing with running chat commentary ✅ No harem · No chosen one · No grimdark ⚠️ Implied violence (corpse discovery, mystery sub-plot)For fans of He Who Fights With Monsters, Bog Standard Isekai, Streamer.Updates Daily during launch, then Mon-Fri thereafter.
