A new game inexplicably appeared on his computer, and ordinary high school student Gen So Tetsu began a galgame life of character creation, leveling up, and romance.
What should he do when every new game starts on Hell Mode? What if every pixel character he needs to win over has a personality stranger than the last?
No need to worry. The Genji-brand master of dating games is here, and you'll know whether his methods work when you see them.
Against a thrill-seeker, Gen So Tetsu strikes hard, unleashing a pitiful set of military punches that leaves his opponent seeing stars.
Against an enemy, he switches straight into Romeo and Juliet mode, turning love and hate into an addictive game that leaves his foe wanting more.
Against a cold goddess, he transforms into a shameless simp and showers her with affection, determined to lick that iceberg into a volcano.
Against a dark and twisted monster, he becomes even more angelic than a little angel, a walking saint who spreads postcards of love and justice far and wide!
After one round of the game, Gen So Tetsu finally achieves...!!
A bad ending on every route.
Damn it, give me my money back!
It was only later that Gen So Tetsu realized that the pixel characters whose faces and bodies he couldn't make out weren't beautiful girls he could pursue at all. They were all men.
The game he had been playing, Doki Doki Ninja/Swordsman/Esper/Sorcerer, had never been a dating game in the first place. It was a... high-purity, high-difficulty post-apocalyptic survival RPG.
He got a bad ending on every romance route, but on the survival routes, he achieved the highest honor: a perfect clear of every route, "Breakthrough of All Things."
In the ninja world where Tsukuyomi succeeded, he and a blind Uchiha, along with a Nine-Tails jinchuriki stripped of his powers, struggle to survive beneath the shadow of a red moon, searching for even the faintest chance of survival.
Achievement unlocked: "The Long Night's Final Embers"
In the Taisho era ruled by demons, the man-eating demons are no longer restricted by sunlight and can walk beneath it. By currying favor with the Demon King, his father, he barely manages to preserve humanity's last spark.
Achievement unlocked: "Hellfire"
In modern Yokohama, where out-of-control abilities have turned on their wielders, the world is shrouded in permanent fog and human-shaped abilities have brought ruin to countless lives. Together with an ability nullifier, he travels far and wide, rescuing all of humanity from its desperate plight.
Achievement unlocked: "The Tower of Babel in the Fog"
In modern Tokyo, polluted by cursed spirits, he is the only Cursed Speech user who can rival the strongest. Even while imprisoned, he secretly seeks out the sorcerers lost across the country and assembles a sorcerer alliance to fight back against the cursed spirits.
Achievement unlocked: "The Afterglow of the Eternal Night"
In the game world, Gen So Tetsu saved countless people and became the one and only light in their hearts.
But in the real world, Tetsu, an ordinary high school student who had hit rock bottom in the game, was still living a life of hunger and cold, never knowing what the next day would bring.
Then one day, the two worlds began to merge. The people and stories from the game world were projected into reality, as if reflected in a mirror.
His identity as a savior was exposed just like that!
Faced with the pixel "beauties" he had once pursued, Uchiha So Tetsu/Kibutsuji So Tetsu/Shibusawa Tetsu/Zenin So Tetsu cried, "Don't come any closer!!"
Premise: When all the clamor falls silent, silence itself is deafening.
