What to Do When Your Game Is 500 Years Behind

You bought a new game during the summer sale.

Combat √ Romance √ Management √ Farming √

The gorgeous character art and superpowered battles hooked you instantly.

You maxed out your stats, sculpted yourself a stunning face, and entered the game ready to show the world what you could do, only to discover you'd launched the wrong version.

You stayed calm. Your stats were still intact, so there was hope.

But you soon realized you'd entered a version of the game set five hundred years in the past.

“…”

How were you supposed to play this? There wasn't even a walkthrough.

You wanted to quit, but one line from the System changed your mind.

[Beat the game and you can win one billion yuan.]

You: I suppose that's not out of the question.

After leaving the beginner's village, you discovered this was the Warring States period, but with monsters. Every day, all kinds of bizarre creatures jumped out at you.

You were disgusted.

You wanted to file a complaint.

System: [The one billion is in U.S. dollars.]

You: Well, then, what are we waiting for? Let's do this! I'll just treat it like a prequel.

Some time later, you became the strongest shrine maiden in the current version, and people revered you as a god.

One day, you found a boy by the river. He said his name was Dazai Osamu.

The System told you he was the game's protagonist, five hundred years in the future.

You thought that was hilarious. You were the protagonist of this game.

After finally seeing Dazai Osamu off, the river sent you another person.

You: Is this never going to end?

After being rescued from the water, Dazai Osamu realized he had transmigrated.

His rescuer told him he was five hundred years in the past.

“Wait, how is that even possible?”

The girl, whose face was as clear as freshly fallen snow, smiled faintly. A moment later, she told him excitedly, “I might be your ancestor.”

Dazai Osamu: “...”

I'll probably write this after finishing the Tutor Hitman Reborn! one.

Thesis: Love can transcend anything.
