章 2: Why Are Girls Into This Shit?
I hate them...
I hate them so badly...
Like, why do they exist?!
I think every girl on this planet plays them or has at least once in their daily life!
Ugh, these things seriously piss me off...
Yet...
Here I am...
Being begged by my younger cousin, who's about to go on this long fancy cruise with her boyfriend, to complete one of these stupid Otome games for her from start to finish while she's gone!!!
"Uhh, why me?" I asked deadpan.
She looked at me in disbelief and shoved the game harder into my chest.
"Because I'll tell Auntie if you don't." She warned, spitting venom as she did.
I narrowed my eyes at her while snatching the game, kicked her out of my one-bedroom apartment, and then started the game on my system.
I hated my cousin to high heaven and the depths of hell. She was my family's golden girl, and if she asked for it? She got it. No matter what it was. She loved to remind me about that too. My mom even loved her more than me, which is why she threatened to tell my mom about this...and is why I live in this shitty small one-bedroom apartment and am barely scrapping by while my cousin, Miss. Prick lives in a fancy modern two-story house in the suburbs by herself and even has her car.
**Guess I have to do this for her...** I thought to myself while plopping down in front of my TV on my bedroom floor.
As I started downloading the game, I read the case and figured out the story plot in the first ten seconds: You're a girl named Alanna who is attending an academy (typical) known as Winchester Academy, where humans, demons, and other supernatural creatures attend (again, typical). Side note? Alanna is a human commoner (thrice, typical) whose love interests are? Yep, another typical Otome game setup: The Three Princes of each Realm. The Holy Realm (Prince Arthur, an archangel), the Unholy Realm (Prince Samuel, a greater demon), and the Human Realm (Prince Leon, a human prince known for his sword skills).
"This game...aaaaaaaaaagh...THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE SUCH BULLSHIT!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I angrily pressed 'start' on my controller.
**ugh...I wish that games like this didn't exist for girls...I mean, it's not like they're even real life! Geez! You know what?! Scratch that!! I wished my life was as great as these Otome games that girls make them out to be!!!!!!** I grumbled in my head.
At that moment, there was a popping sound, and the lights on my system suddenly shut off, making my TV show no signal.
"Aaaaagh! Come on!! I just got this fucking system, dammit!!!"
I slammed my system as hard as possible and pressed the power button.
"You better turn back on, you piece of shit!"
As I turned it back on, I noticed the title screen had changed slightly.
Before, it had the game's main menu, with a picture of the main character and the love interests on it...
But now...
There was a different screen:
It was asking some sort of questions in bold white text on a dark maroon background with a weird crest within the center of it...
1. Would you be: A creature? Or a human?
1a. If you were a creature, would you rather be a creature of the Light? A creature of the Darkness? Or a hybrid creature of both the Light and the Darkness? Or choose this answer if you said human.
2. What would your social status be from these options: Commoner? High Society? Knight? Nobility? Duke/Dutchess? Or royalty?
3. Would you be: Not powerful as those around you? As powerful as those around you? Or more powerful than those around you?
4. Would you: Keep your existing personality? Or have one that fits what your species is (this option is more appropriate if you said creature as your species)?
...
**uhhhhhh, the hell is this?** I thought, perplexed.
...
"guess I'll play along...must be part of the game..." I muttered.
1. Creature.
1a. A creature of both the Light and the Darkness.
2. Royalty.
**I smirk; if the game's going to let me choose, I'm going all the way~** I sang in my head, seeing money signs.
3. More powerful than those around you.
4. Keep your existing personality.
...
As I smirked to myself, my system showed a spinning logo, saying that it was thinking.
Then showed a message and voiced out:
==Results Received and Processing==
A new message appeared:
==Please wait==
I yawned, rubbed my eyes, got up from my bedroom floor, and turned off my lights.
That's when I noticed I was getting dizzy.
**ugh...shit...**
I shook my head a bit, trying to shake off the dizziness, but it only worsened.
==Processing Complete==
My vision started spinning fast.
==Data Getting Ready for Transfer==
I stumbled forward a bit, knocking into the wall next to my door, no longer having a sense of balance.
==Transferring==
My vision started fading more as I slid down my hall, using the wall for support, making my way to my hall bathroom to try to find some headache medicine.
==Transfer 56% Complete==
My body went limp as soon as I could open the bathroom door, though I never made it through.
As I panted and sweated profusely on the hardwood floor, I turned on my back and looked up at the hallway ceiling.
==Transfer 76% Complete
My breath was even becoming shorter, almost coming to a stop...
Until...
...
==Transfer Complete==
I went completely unconscious...
==Loading==
...
==Welcome, Prince Darien==
==Of the Withergate Empire==
