Liam slammed his palm heavily against the steering wheel.
“I need to make money,” he muttered through gritted teeth.
“I have to fight my way out of this.” …
Meanwhile, a brilliant streak of light pierced through the solar system.
It tore through Earth’s atmosphere and zeroed in on his exact coordinates.
[Collection System has arrived at Universe 8, Earth 03.
Suitable host detected…
Binding to host identity…] Ding!
A crisp chime rang out in Liam’s mind.
He opened his eyes in shock.
A translucent, holographic screen floated in the air right in front of him.
Text began to rapidly scroll across the display.
[Universe 8, Earth 03 Sole Host: You have received a binding request from the Collection System.
Do you accept?] A system?
Liam’s first reaction was a surge of wild ecstasy.
To be favored by the gods of fate—it was an absolutely explosive feeling.
“System, can you introduce yourself?” Liam asked aloud.
Absolute silence.
“Why isn’t this playing by the usual rules?” he muttered.
“Aren’t these things usually eager to explain everything the moment they bind to someone?” Liam focused his mind.
A small, glowing cursor illuminated on the holographic interface.
With a mere thought, he found he could guide the cursor through the system’s menus.
He clicked on the ‘Manual’ tab and read it carefully.
A massive influx of information immediately flooded his brain.
This system originated from an unnamed, highly advanced planet in a higher dimension.
The beings there had long transcended basic physical needs.
Instead, they craved the collection of unique experiences and raw emotions from different worlds.
The Collection System had been dispatched to Earth for this exact purpose.
It used Earth’s blockbuster movies and television shows as dimensional anchors.
The host would cross over into these cinematic universes and harvest designated experiences.
The system would then package those raw sensations and transmit them back to the higher dimension.
So that was how it worked.
[Please confirm whether you wish to bind with the system.
If declined, this memory will be entirely erased from your mind, and the system will seek a new data collector.] “I accept the binding,” Liam said without hesitation.
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the Cinematic Experience Collection System.] [Host is now the sole Collector for Earth 03.] “System, what cinematic worlds can I actually enter?” [Assuming the host completes tasks successfully, available worlds include The Fast and the Furious, Death Race, Iron Man, Mission: Impossible, Avatar, The Avengers, PUBG, The Maze Runner, Titanic, Malèna, Resident Evil, Mad Max: Fury Road, John Wick…
and countless other popular films and television series.] [Upon completing a collection task in a cinematic world, the host will receive real-world rewards.
These may include items, unique skills, physical attributes, or specialized techniques.] [The host may choose to accept or decline any published crossover task.
There is no penalty for declining.
You simply wait for the next task to be generated.] [Warning: Once a task is accepted, failing to collect the required experience in the cinematic world will result in the random revocation of one previously earned reward.] [To ensure absolute authenticity for the higher-dimensional audience, the cinematic worlds you enter are entirely real.
You can be injured.
You can die.] [In the event of lethal danger, the host may choose to abort the mission.
The cinematic world will auto-repair, and the host will return to the real world completely unharmed.] [After completing a task, the host may choose to return immediately.
You may delay your return for a maximum of 24 hours before being forcefully extracted.] [Regardless of how much time is spent in a cinematic world, exactly ten minutes will pass in the real world.] [Note: The host retains full privacy rights.
Higher-dimensional clients cannot spectate intimate or private moments, such as changing clothes, sleeping, or using the restroom.] A wave of pure exhilaration washed over Liam.
The legendary system had actually chosen him.
The day to rewrite his destiny had finally arrived.
“I won’t just live a wild, free life in the movies,” Liam vowed.
“I’m going to carve out a spectacular life in the real world, too.” [Ding!
The first collection task has been issued.] [A higher-dimensional client recently watched The Fast and the Furious (2001) and deeply yearns for the absolute thrill of extreme speed.
Order: Collect the ‘thrill of extreme speed’ within The Fast and the Furious.] [Note: The thrill of extreme speed must be generated by the host’s own actions and driving skills.
If the required threshold of adrenaline and speed is not met, the task will be graded as a failure.] [Task Difficulty: Hard (99% elimination rate).] [Please choose whether to accept the order.
You have ten seconds to decide.
Failure to respond will be deemed an automatic forfeiture.] [Countdown: 10…
9…
8…
3…] “I accept!” Liam shouted.
[The Fast & Furious franchise consists of multiple installments.
Your actions in the first film will permanently alter the timeline and narrative trajectory for future entries.
Proceed with caution and rely on your own abilities.] [The crossover task for The Fast and the Furious will begin in exactly 48 hours.
Please make all necessary preparations.] Liam took a deep breath, his heart pounding against his ribs.
He never expected his first cinematic jump to drop him right into the high-octane street racing world of Fast & Furious.
