I Got a Romance Plot in One Piece

Mia found an ultra-realistic full-dive otome game on the street. Once she entered, she discovered that it was actually a dating System.

The problem was that none of her targets were normal! One liked playing with fire, another liked playing with strings, and there was even a surgeon who looked like a bad guy.

There was also a directionally challenged swordsman who was incredibly confident in his sense of direction, and a doughnut lover who never landed on his back...

Everyone else's otome games were doki-doki romances. Hers was pure suffering, and every day she teetered on the edge of being driven mad or killed.

Still, with the System threatening her life, she completed every route on her knees.

At last, she reached the final victim, cross that out, target.

At the crucial moment, a System bug made it impossible to exit the game! Even worse, she'd triggered a passive game effect: a countdown to her death.

To keep herself alive, she stuck by a certain someone every day, fussing over him in every possible way.

Until one day...

"Hey, Mia, what does an affection score of 10 mean?"

???

Mia forced herself to remain calm. "Oh, it just means you have 10 points of friendship toward me. That's all."

Hah, men.

She thought things couldn't get any worse, but then her previous targets regained their memories.

Help... Can I still sail the Grand Line?!

A certain swordsman watched the men, each with an affection score above his head, and fell into deep thought.

"Didn't expect you to be so popular."

Mia: ...

After I Wiped Out on the Grand Line

At the recommendation of her childhood friend, Lusha raised a little kid in a game.

The kid was someone she'd rescued on White Town when he was on the verge of death. He was great in every way except for being gloomy all the time and thinking about all sorts of dark things.

Lusha had an epiphany: So this is a healing, raising-sim game!

And so she started feeding her little one every day.

Watching the child on the screen grow more and more attached to her, Lusha nodded in satisfaction. My kid really is the best!

But she'd spoken too soon. A month later, at her childhood friend's recommendation, she started raising another kid. He was a black-haired boy with freckles. Unlike the gloomy personality of her first little one, this rebellious kid caught her interest.

After all her hard work, she watched the child on screen chase after her each day, awkwardly demanding cuddles, and smiled with satisfaction. I love tsundere kids best!

A month later, she looked at the blond kid on screen with curly eyebrows. Kids who can cook are the best!

Then, at some point, she inexplicably fell into that world...

Weren't these boys, who looked like they wanted to eat her alive, the kids she'd raised?

Locked in a cage, Lusha was in utter shock. I'm on the Grand Line!

Anyone know how to comfort a kid who's been abandoned? I'm waiting online, it's urgent.
