Chapter 2: Word Count (Don't Read!)
They Said It Was Just a Game... But My Waifu Came to Life?!
When I was just chilling in the basement of my home, I accidentally downloaded a shady app from a shady website. It's Waifu Online. The game allowed me to control characters from various anime worlds with the waifu as the protagonist. I could determine their destiny, their ending, and their worth.
I could even communicate with them, and they saw me as a divine figure for giving them guidance. That's what I thought at first.
But, why do their eyes seem wrong? Why do I feel like they could come out from the screen?
I thought this was just a game, but when I saw Nero Claudius come into the real world to meet me, I knew the game was not as it seemed.
Not only her, but even Yuno Gasai, Shokuhou Misaki, and Runeas Gremory were after me.
I thought our reunion would be heartwarming and wholesome, but when they asked me about who my most favorite girl among them was, with knives in their hands, I pondered.
How long can I live?
Chapter 1: God? No, I'm the Gamer!
[Do you wanted to understand the meaning of life?]
I don't think that life has any meaning; I'm still stuck at the bottom of the barrel. Not only was I a loser, but I also had no girls. Since life has no meaning, just destroy it.
When I clicked no, my finger accidentally slipped into yes.
[Waifu App is installed.]
I deadpanned at the moment, perhaps it was a virus, but whatever. Since it's already installed, there is no point in uninstalling it again because I think the virus has already spread. Yeah, just buy a new smartphone, easy and simple. Before that, I wanted to see what this retard app is about.
[Select your character.]
[1. Arisu Sakayanagi.]
[2. Kaguya Shinomiya.]
[3. Asuna Yuuki.]
[4. Marin Kitagawa.]
[5. Ai Hayasaka.]
[6. Utaha Kasumigaoka.]
[7. Hoshino Ai.]
Why are the characters limited and few?
[You don't have enough authority to unlock more characters, you need to finish.]
You can communicate with me?
[We can. The AI technology in your world is very high anyway. Why did you even find this weird anyway?]
Yeah, everything in this world is dominated by AI. From professions like doctors, scientists, writers, and politicians to game developers, everything is dominated by AI. The world has entered the stage of a dystopia where everything is determined by AI.
Even delivery, cleaning services, office boys, or any low professions are done by robots programmed by AI. Humans are nothing more than a waste of space in this world.
Despite how mad smart I was, in the end, compared to AI, I was nothing. Not only me, even many high elites or smart people are stuck in an unemployment state because of AI. The arrogant doctors and politicians of the past can no longer be seen because AI has replaced them.
The world indeed sucks.
Enough with the depression of my life. Since this app is so smart, let's see whether this game could entertain me and make me escape from my sucky life.
Let's choose Kaguya Shinomiya. She is a young lady of a huge corporation, after all. It should be easy and fun to play her character.
[Do you wanted to confirm your character?]
Fuck yeah!
[Character Sheet.]
[Name: Kaguya Shinomiya.]
[Detail: Kaguya Shinomiya is the vice president of the student council at Shuchiin Academy and the daughter of a powerful and wealthy family. She is known for her intelligence, beauty, and cunning. Despite her cold and aloof demeanor, Kaguya is kind-hearted and deeply cares for her friends. Her upbringing has made her highly skilled in various areas, but it also makes her feel isolated and challenges her ability to express her true emotions.]
[Talent: Genius (Green), Ice Cold Beauty (Platinum), Academic Excellence (Green), Art and Music Proficiency (Green), Athletic Ability (Green), Social Etiquette (Green), Martial Arts Proficiency (Green).]
[Achievement Ending: None]
So, how can I know how low and high talent based on color?
[The talents are divided into: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Platinum, Black, Gold, Black Gold, and Diamond.]
White is the lowest and diamond is the highest?
[Yes.]
[Do you wanted to roll the gacha to replace one of their talents? You can only replace one.]
Unlimited Salt Works!
[Sick Beauty (Purple): Everyone would birth the kind of pity to the character. She is as beautiful as moonlight, but heaven is jealous of her beauty, so they made her born sick with heart disease and made her crippled.]
[Evil Genius (Purple): The character is not only a genius, but also a high-functioning sociopath who disregards morals and rules. You see rules as nothing more than inconveniences and are willing to follow them only when they benefit you.]
[Actor (Green): The character will have good acting skills.]
[Born Singer (Blue): The character will have great talent in music and a pleasant voice.]
Replace genius with evil genius. Morals are the last thing I need when I am playing the game.
Moreover, I play as a capitalist, not an idol or actress. Wtf with those sick beauty, actor, and born singer, fuck with them. I wanted an evil genius waifu.
True Chad doesn't sing; he conquers.
[Do you wanted to start the game?]
Yeah, let's the game begin.
By then the screen is no longer a character sheet and pixel anime girl, but Kaguya Shinomiya is looking at the student drowning in the pool with a hesitant look.
Miyuki Shirogane is prepared to save the drowning student. If the anime plot is correct, then Kaguya would be the one to save the drowning student. Then Miyuki Shirogane, who witnessed Kaguya's effort, would begin to fall in love with her. The romantic comedy between them would begin from here. However, it's impossible for me to let them fall in love with each other. I have no cuck hobby for making my waifu character fall in love with others. If I can't have them, they could only be single for the rest of their life.
I laughed evilly.
[Do you run her character or auto-pilot?]
I wanted to run her character.
[1. Save the drowning student.]
[2. Watch the student drown and leave.]
[3. Encourage Miyuki Shirogane to save the drowning student.]
Watch the student drown and leave.
With that, Kaguya glanced at the student drowning indifferently and left.
Miyuki Shirogane looked at Kaguya's back with great disappointment and dived into the pool himself.
From this day, they will have nothing to do with each other, and fuck with the anime plot and CP.
I watched everything on the screen with an evil grin on my face.
Let's the game begin indeed.

Kaguya Shinomiya POV
"You... Who are you...? Why can you control my body?" I asked with deep fear in my voice. I don't know who this individual is. Every important decision that I need to make is always in this individual's hands.
Every time I sleep, I can see who he is in my dreams. I don't know his name. I was too fearful to communicate with him, but now I have gathered my courage and wanted to ask him what he wanted to do with me.
"You can talk?" The so-called individual who can control my body asked with surprise. "Well, considering how advanced artificial intelligence is, indeed, it makes sense why you can talk to me."
I don't understand what he was talking about and fumed.
"Can you speak English?"
"I speak English in the first place, shouldn't you ask me could you speak Japanese?" His eyes rolled at me as if he were hearing the funniest joke.
"What I mean is, speak something that humans can understand," I asserted.
"Since that's the case, let me explain it to you in a language that is easy to understand. For me, the world is just a game and you're the character I play. Every decision you make is determined by me. Every ending you choose depends on what I am thinking. If you want me to help you or make the best decisions for you, then it's best for you to be respectful. Don't worry, even if the decision is wrong, it can be restarted, and we will start from the beginning again to reach a better future and the best ending for you." His wicked tone didn't help me calm down and made me more fearful of him. Is this man a devil? He could even restart the world and think of the world as a game. Only God can possess such power, yet it's wasted on such an evil man like this.
"Are you God?" I asked with deep worry in my voice.
"No, I'm not God. I'm the gamer." He smirked.
"Don't worry, Kaguya, you will never regret the choices I make for you. Since you like to have your own agency, I will act as an advisor for you. Whether you accept my decision or not, everything is in your hands."
It seems, he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be.
"Thank you." I offered my gratitude to the guy for not being a total jerk.
"You're welcome. Now, wake up, sleepyhead."
By then, I found myself back in reality and sighed in relief that the agency of my body was back to me and hummed happily.
"Are you still here, Kami-sama?"
"I am." He yawned. It seems God can be bored too.
"What is your name, Kami-sama?" I asked politely.
"John Spencer, you can just call me John." He answered casually.
"Since that's the case, I will be in your care from now on, John." I bowed.
"It's a pity I can't touch you. I wanted to pat your head; you're so cute now, Kaguya." He sighed with a depressive tone.
"Pervert." I rolled my eyes.
"Anyway, I wanted to take a bath, no peeking."
He didn't answer me. I don't know whether he agreed or not; only silence was heard in the room.
Hah...
Well, whatever, since he could control my body and watch me without even needing my permission, it doesn't matter too much what his answer was.
I sighed.
