Third P.O.V


"Where am I?"


(Y/N) was confused. One moment they were stuffing their head in a pillow, the next they knew they were here. In a completely white room.


A green screen appeared in front of (Y/N).


[Welcome Player!]


What the heck!


(Y/N) touched the screen.


[Are you ready for the game tutorial?]


"What game?"


(Y/N) wondered outloud.


[The otome game of course!]


"I knew it! This whole thing was a prank! Did my roommate put you up to this? I'm out of here."


(Y/N) turned around, but was stopped by a red screen.


[Take one step and you'll die.]


Ignoring the warning, (Y/N) lifted their foot up, but before (Y/N) could put their foot down, air was squeezed out of their lungs.


(Y/N) was being suffocated by an unknown force. Just when (Y/N) thought they were going to pass out, they were released.


Falling to the ground, (Y/N) was like a fish gasping on land.


The green screen was back.


[Player should refrain from disobeying Guide.]


Deep breathes, deep breathes.


"What do you want from me?"

[All you have to do is play a otome game.]

"Which otome game are you talking about?"


(Y/N) asked nervously.


['Sweet Love'.]


This was it. (Y/N) was doomed. They were not a fan of otome games. It was nothing personal, but (Y/N) preferred real-life romance vs simulated. However, 'Sweet Love' was an R18 otome game their roommate played NON-STOP.


(Y/N) had been trying to get the sounds out of their head for weeks!


But this screen....


"What do I have to do?"


[Would you like your tutorial?]


[Yes] [No]


(Y/N) hesitantly clicked [Yes].


The green screen suddenly turned into a green ball with a face.


["Okay, so you are going to become the MC(main character) of the otome game. You must complete ALL of the routes by successfully reaching an ending with a capture target. After an ending, you get to pick a new skill to learn before the time reset. Oh! You can pick a new skill before we begin!"]


The ball turned back into a screen.


[What would you like to learn?]


[Business] [Seduction]


The answer was obvious. (Y/N) clicked [Business].


(Y/N)'s vision started to fade, the last thing they heard was...


["I'm going to throw in [Seduction] for free!~"]


Author's Note: I think this may be confusing, but this is the first chapter. Explanations will come further into the book.
