(Insert Possible Sai Art Here)
Prologue
Gamers, ASSEMBLE!
April 20th, 2075, only 9 days remaining until Golden Week begins. On this day, a group of various individuals scattered across the city of Neo Tokyo would awaken from what should have been ordinary sleeps. That is because they were indeed ordinary sleeps. What was out of the ordinary though is what happened to these individuals once they awoke. Nothing was different with them at all physically, except perhaps waking up a little more refreshed than normal. Perhaps very much so, as if they all had gotten a good night's sleep.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
What was wrong is what they could see above their heads.
'The Gamer'
Last Name, First Name, Lv 1
In light blue text above their head was floating text. It looked like something straight out of a video game. How many of these individuals actually played video games was another story, since most, if not all, had jobs or lives that were keeping them busy and thus possibly unable to be huge gamers. Maybe these five had played some games before, perhaps a couple? Well regardless... the text is there, and it doesn't seem to be going away, no matter how many times any of them close their eyes or pour water on their faces.
Above other people's heads throughout their day they would see similar floating text. Their last name, first name, LV, and a number next to that. It usually ranged from 1 - 3, with around 3 being for those who looked or seemed a small bit tougher. The occasional tough martial artist looking type or tough police officer was around Level 5, those definitely being people who had gotten into fights or danger.
As these five went about that Friday, the text didn't seem like its going away at all. No one else seemed to notice it at all, or if they did they were master actors as they weren't bringing it up. Most likely though it is no one noticing it at all as otherwise that would have to be thousands of people in on a joke.
Saturday comes rolling around after Friday, so at least time itself hasn't changed.
What also hasn't changed is the presence of the text. Its still there, so either this is a very long dream or a very surreal situation. Its also still above everyone else's heads as well and no one seems to notice. Of course, if everyone got a full night's sleep, then they would see the following window and feel very refreshed.

Getting a full night's sleep in a bed has left you awake and refreshed.
HP and MP fully restored.
All Status Ailments removed.
Despite how bizarre and surreal this is, these days will continue being halcyon days. Nothing is changing. Perhaps the small additional perks provided from this bizarre scenario aren't too bad.
Sunday, the 22nd and a week away from Golden Week, rolls around. The text is still there, as is the same notification they got when they woke up on Saturday. As they awoke in the morning to face the day ahead, however; another window would appear suddenly without warning.
The Quest: "Other's Like Me" has been created.
Accept?

If they clicked no, the window vanishes and that is that. If they click yes... however...

A Quest. Information perhaps. Thankfully today is Sunday, so unless any of these individuals had an important job to get to then today couldn't be a better day for seeking out other 'Gamers'.
The Search has begun.
