Hmm ...?

When you wake up from sleep, a strange window flickers in your field of view. It looks like a Windows folder. The sense of incongruity in front of me evokes the illusion of still wandering in a dream.

But not a dream. The pain I felt when pinching my cheek was a real reality. Room as usual. Everything is as usual. There is no such change in a room with a small bathroom.

The strange thing is a foreign object reflected in the field of view. Even if you rub your eyes and wash your face in the bathroom, thinking that it is an optical illusion, the window that flickers in your view will not disappear.

Am I strange? Have you always been withdrawn in the room and your nerves in the brain are being managed, are you seeing in hallucinations? Is something compressing the optic nerve?

In such a case, search. I got out of bed and pressed the power button on my computer. But the PC does not try to boot. I opened the main unit and looked inside, thinking it was a malfunction, but it didn't seem to be a problem. It was a PC that did nothing until yesterday.

I was annoyed, but I decided to be patient and picked up my mobile phone. However, mobile phones also cannot connect to the Internet.

What about this guy? Put a laptop on the lap that was charging on the floor and press the power button.

The result is hopeless. This is also not going to start.

A PC and a laptop that had no problems until yesterday? In a mess of not knowing what, I touched the screen of my mobile phone in my left hand again. I was worried that this was happening only to me, so I pressed my friend's number and waited. However, this is also broken. I whispered away and called my friends at random. The result was the same. Even my parents don't answer the phone. I couldn't even hear the ringing sound.

Apparently, all of this situation has something to do with not being able to connect to the Internet. It may have come at the end of this world. I jumped out with that feeling, but the outside was mediocre. People walking mediocre as usual.

Returning home, sitting on the bed, I decided to face reality. A window that still flickers in front of you. After all, all this phenomenon may be related to this. A reality that I hoped was a mistake but was inevitable anymore.

I stared at the small window in front of me. No response, no matter how you look at it. So I brought my finger to the window that was reflected in the field of view.

Surprisingly, two messages appeared before my eyes. A message that appears as if a PC window opens. Characters were sharply engraved on the translucent window.

[Status] [Item] [Save] [Load]

"...?"

What is this unreal feeling? The sense of reality disappeared instantly. However, it was not a dream to pinch my cheek again and hit it. Pain is transmitted to the brain as it is.

Unreal but real? [State] and [Item] and [Save] and [Load] are the ones that appear in the game by any means.

I didn't know what was, but if you push it, you'll see. I took my finger to [state].

The translucent window changes to another window immediately.

Ryo Hasegawa Age: 25 Occupation: Neat Level: 1 Physical Strength: 55 Charm: 12 Money: 5,010,130 yen Experience: 0

What appeared in the window that appeared was my personal information. He is 25 years old. Accurate information. However, the level and physical strength were unknown. But his money was accurate. It was neat, but it turned out to be 5 million yen because I made a little profit from the 500,000 yen principal that I earned as a part-time job.

Of course, I haven't been able to make money with stock because of their talent. Did you make a little bit of money thanks to the information your game friends gave you? But that's it.

[State window] where all such assets were transparently disclosed.

Then [Save] and [Load]? Touch [Save] and a message appears.

[Do you want to save? ]

When you touched save, the progress bar under the message was buried, and the message at 10:30 on May 2 came out. At first glance, only one space could be saved. It seems impossible to make some savepoints like in other games.

Use it carefully. Wrong saves cause the game to enter the labyrinth.

Anyway, when I pressed [Load], a window stating at 10:30 on May 2 came out as well as [Save].

[Do you want to load? ]

A message appears. The time is 10:33. After confirming the time, I immediately touched the message. I just needed to experiment. Then suddenly the field of vision turned white and it returned to reality. If you check the clock in a hurry, it is exactly 10:30:22.

I was back in the past. Just three minutes ago. This is true. Really in the game. Get cold and sweat. Excitement and surprise mix and feel like nothing. Isn't that interesting? Reality becomes a game.

When it comes to games, it means that if you clear it, you can return to the original world. There must be some reason for getting into the game, at least. With that in mind, I wanted to take a closer look at the game window in front of me.

Ryo Hasegawa Age: 25 Occupation: Neat Level: 1 Physical Strength: 55 Charms: 12 Money: 4,910,130 yen Experience: 0

So I read [state] again. Then I noticed that my money was reduced by 100,000 yen. Does saving and loading also cost money? Otherwise it cannot be reduced. Well, the ability to return to the past. It is strange that there is no compensation.

I was so convinced and looked at other items. What does this level mean? Is it a mechanism that increases physical strength and attractiveness when the level is raised? If so, I'm just in the game, so of course the level is one. I have no idea how to level up. Nothing is as difficult as a game without a manual. Where is physical strength and attractiveness used? The numbers are ambiguous. 55. His level is 1 but his health is 55. That would mean that 100 is not the maximum.

Experience points are numbers for level up and appear in most RPG games. The higher the level of experience, the higher the level, and the higher the level, the higher the physical strength and attractiveness. The more you see, the more the game itself. But up to here. There seems to be nothing more to find.

I abandoned my skill and entered [item] this time. Then two similarly opaque windows appeared.

[[Item shop] [Items]

When you touch [Item], a message appears.

[You don't have any items currently]

Of course. What did you expect? I went back and touched [Item Shop]. Then some [items] appear. If there is a level, as the level increases, the type of [item] will increase. It's like the unwritten law of a game.

[Lv.1 Scouter 100,000 yen] [Sleep spray 250,000 yen] [Universal key 600,000 yen] [Camera 100,000 yen] [Foreign vehicle 50 million yen] [Japanese car 8 million yen]

I touched each item for the time being. First, from the top scouter.

[Lv.1 Scouter Do you want to buy 100,000 yen? ]

Then, a message asking for purchase intention appeared. Without any information about the item. It doesn't seem to explain anything about the items as well as no manual. It's a really unkind game.

And why is the value of [item] so high? It's so dizzying that it's a monetary unit. In particular, [foreign cars] and [domestic cars] are equivalent to home prices. What great item is it? Of course, it is impossible to purchase with the money you have now.

Even so, I thought I had to buy something. To know about this game that I got into. So, what came into my eyes was [Lv.1 Scouter]. Isn't it the best way to try it because it's cheapest? Of course, the fact that the cheapest item is 100,000 yen complains unintentionally. After completing the purchase and touching [Item], [Lv.1 Scouter] is displayed on the item. Then, when I touched [Lv.1 Scouter], a detailed explanation appeared.

[Lv.1 Scouter] [If you use the scouter and look at the target woman, the information necessary for the capture will come out. ] [The higher the level, the more detailed information will be available. ]

There was no explanation before buying, but as soon as I decided to buy it, an explanation came out. The instructions in [Lv.1 Scouter] provided important clues about the game.

[When you look at a woman, you will get the necessary information about the strategy. ]

-Exactly this part.

It was pretty meaningful. Does this mean that the purpose of this game is to capture women? Is it a genre like eroge?
