The point of a story is to have a conflict on the road to a goal. In your case, your goal is to have a nihilistic life, and therefore a conflict to this would be situations that clearly attempt to flip this upside down. Does he absolutely not want to be famous, so he somehow accidentally becomes famous? Does he get mixed up into something? Otherwise, maybe there's an internal conflict that you want to develop, or a conflict with other characters. Refer to [these conflict types](http://www.storyboardthat.com/articles/e/types-of-literary-conflict). Of course however, you're not limited to just one type of conflict. There are stories that expand through all of them, or just a select few. **Generally, think around the lines of this:** _What is the main character's goal, and what stands in the way of their goal?_
