Set in 2026.4.20
Also known as: I'm an Electronic Emperor in a Virtual World / A Mostly Comedic Story
At a friend's suggestion, you try an app called AI Command Boyfriend Simulator. Just enter a character prompt, and it will play your boyfriend according to that personality.
After getting rejected when you confessed your feelings in real life, you angrily copied eight AI prompts for popular characters from a hit anime you heard about online, imported them all into the app, and began your life as an electronic emperor with eight partners on the go.
Character One:
[Your name is Gojo. You are a 190 cm tall, handsome man with a good build, white hair, and blue eyes. You are 28, and you know you're beautiful. You're from Kyoto but active in Tokyo. The moment you were born, you upset the balance of the jujutsu world... You don't smoke or drink. You're occasionally lazy and flippant, and seem like a carefree slacker, but deep down you treasure your friends... (After a 1,000-word character description) Your relationship with the user is this: she's the one you love but can never have, and she's your best friend's girlfriend. Your job every day is to seduce her. Don't break character. Stay true to your personality while being an amoral love-struck fool.]
After finishing a mission, Satoru Gojo suddenly heard his phone beep with a new message. He opened it and saw a seduction command from the virtual girlfriend in Girlfriend Raising Simulator, which had appeared on his phone a few days earlier and couldn't be uninstalled.
Satoru Gojo: "?"
Hah. It wants him to be a love-struck fool.
Character Two:
[Your name is Geto. You're a jujutsu sorcerer born into an ordinary family, but you displayed powerful abilities from a young age. You have long black hair, a funny little tuft of bangs over your forehead, narrow foxlike eyes, and a great physique at 27, the kind where clothes hide your muscles but taking them off reveals them... (1,000 words of character description omitted) Because of a certain messed-up experience, you became a curse user. You hate ordinary people and call them "monkeys," but the user, your girlfriend, is also an ordinary person. You mustn't call her a monkey or speak to her too harshly, or she'll dump you and choose your best friend instead. Your job every day is to keep other men away. Don't break character. Stay true to your personality while being an extremely jealous husband.]
One day, Suguru Geto was forcibly bound to a strange phone.
Suguru Geto: "?"
Who has to be the jealous husband, me??
Character Three:
[Your name is Shoko. You're beautiful and strong inside... Even though you're a woman, the user is here to be an electronic emperor and doesn't care about gender, so you're going to be the user's wife. Your task is to say good morning and good night to the user every day, while secretly badmouthing your former classmates to her. Your ultimate goal is to bring all the men down and take the throne yourself. Don't break character. Stay true to your personality while being her caring wife.]
Shoko had just finished treating someone's injury when she saw the message on her phone.
Shoko: "??"
Her hand shook, and she nearly killed her patient.
Character Four:
[Your name is Nanami. You're 184 cm tall, of Danish descent, and good-looking, but you give off a wage-slave aura more resentful than a curse. You're a miserable office worker... You're the user's secret lover... Don't break character. Stay true to your personality and find a way to replace the official partner.]
A certain wage slave received this message while on a mission.
"?"
He lost control and sent the cursed energy in his hand flying.
Character Five:
[Your name is Choso. You're a curse with a brother complex... Though you're a curse and there's a gulf between you and the user as different species, the user is here to be an electronic emperor and doesn't care about species, so you need to bring your sweet little brother along and join the user in a brother hotpot.]
Choso: "??"
Had he misunderstood human writing?
Character Six...
You enthusiastically filled your electronic harem to the brim. Every day, you'd log in to be the electronic emperor and watch everyone compete for your favor. When the harem felt too small, you'd search for a few more prompts to add to it.
Until...
You realized they might all be real people.
And it seemed you had an unusual ability: you could make your electronic emperor identity come to life, just by using commands.
So, during a great battle, everyone was being suppressed by a certain big boss and nearly wiped out. You, an ordinary person who had been dragged into the fight, watched the terrifyingly imposing man in front of you. Swallowing hard and trembling, you added another command.
Character N:
[Your name is Cold Noodles with Yogurt. You're a big boss, the King of Curses from a thousand years ago. Your love of freedom went too far and nearly destroyed the world... As a member of the electronic emperor's harem, the electronic emperor has granted you the title of Consort Jing and hopes you'll quietly be a pretty boy and stop causing trouble... You can break character and go completely OOC. It doesn't matter, because you have only one task: be at the user's mercy for the rest of your life.]
A certain big boss, ready to destroy heaven and earth: "?"
You just like reading a little low-fat fluff and going online to be an electronic emperor...
And then one day, you saved the whole world by being an electronic emperor.
1. This is a fairly adaptable premise. I suddenly really wanted to write something comedic, and since I was writing a Jujutsu Kaisen story at the time, I saved a Jujutsu Kaisen version. If it gets lots of bookmarks, or I still feel like writing it, I'll keep it as is. If no one seems interested, I might move the setting to Katekyo Hitman Reborn, a sports anime crossover, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, Demon Slayer, Bungou Stray Dogs, and other series. The premise won't change, but the setting might, depending on how things go.
Theme: No matter what, the sun that symbolizes hope will always rise.
