My Cursed Technique Is Called Game of Life

[Complete. The full text costs just one Snow King drink. Please support the official release, thank you!] [Check out my new story: *Becoming the Beloved of Tokyo Jujutsu High After People Read My Mind*] Kanda Ai is a genius. With her photographic memory, extraordinary powers of deduction, and ability to turn her acting on and off at will, she has become an unrivaled god in the world of gaming. Kanda Ai is also a clearheaded lunatic. She has tried to find amusement in this chaotic, illogical world, but never managed it. After an accident, she arrived in an unknown world. It was very similar to her own, except that terrifying, unfamiliar creatures roamed the streets. With no skills or equipment, Kanda Ai was in danger. Just as the strange creature lunged at her, a pocket dimension opened before her, and the creature froze in place. [Game of Life] The name rang out in Kanda Ai's mind. [1.

Ignoring the rules, it charged at Kanda Ai and was instantly erased for breaking them. Kanda Ai's lips curled into a wild grin. This was where she belonged, this was her paradise. One day, a white-haired teacher returning from a mission was suddenly pulled into an unfamiliar space. He was fascinated by the place. Its owner was playing Othello with a curse. The curse scratched its head, then swept the board away and charged at the girl. The space around it immediately contracted, killing it on the spot. “How interesting! Want to come to Tokyo Jujutsu High? Your room and board are free, you'll have friendly classmates and experienced teachers, and best of all, you can earn money!” Kanda Ai: Why would I choose Tokyo Jujutsu High when I can get into Tokyo University? Still, I might consider it if you agree to a few ‘little’ requests. The white-haired teacher fell silent for a moment as he listened to the girl make a long list of demands with an adorable, innocent face. “Deal! I don't mind your personality, you know~” On the day of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Geto the cult leader came alone to Tokyo Jujutsu High to launch an attack. But Kanda Ai, who had seen it all coming, had been waiting at the school. She activated her technique, enclosing everyone in her pocket dimension. He found himself standing in an empty field, looking bewildered. “Attack me and you'll be erased, so let's play a game~” There was no doubt about it: Geto the cult leader lost. Before he could even process what had happened, Kanda Ai's voice reached him. “Starting today, you're Ai-chan's slave~” Geto the cult leader: Huh?! [Love is the most twisted curse.] Kanda Ai loves anything that brings her joy. With an unbeatable mind and an unbeatable technique, Kanda Ai can cause trouble wherever she goes and walk away unscathed. She doesn't care whether they are happy or angry. As long as she's having fun, everything is fine. But... After coming to her senses in the amusement park known as the jujutsu world, she noticed that some people around her seemed a little strange. Their burning gazes never left her. The love of these sorcerers was wild and overwhelming. Kanda Ai: ? Note: There are many unrequited crushes, and the ending is open. If this isn't your thing, feel free to leave at any time. Please don't attack any characters, thank you. Content warnings: 1. Reverse-harem Mary Sue alert! 2. The heroine is sharp as a tack. The more adorable she looks, the more extreme she is inside. 3. The writing is amateurish, and the characters are very out of character. Please don't attack anyone. If you don't like it, hit the back button! 4. The heroine's technique is inspired by the anime of the same name, but the story does not involve the original plot. Your author loves it forever! 5. The author's intelligence is limited. If you spot an error, blame the silly author and turn off your brain while reading! 6. The plot and setting are based on events before the Culling Game. The author has no plans to cover anything after that! 7. Yuta and Rika are not a couple!! [Another Jujutsu Kaisen story coming soon: *Struggling to Survive in a Love Triangle with the Tokyo High Boys*] Blurb: My name is Matsushima Haruka, and I've been growing up in good health for over a decade. My parents are both dead, and aside from Suguru Geto, I have no friends, but that's okay. As long as you're alive, there's hope. But after I graduated from middle school, Suguru Geto gently turned down my confession, and I... fell ill and never recovered, for reasons I couldn't understand. The pain grew harder to endure with each passing day. I was still determined to live, but fate had other plans. It seemed I was going to die. [Do you want to live? Then get close to the Child of Destiny.] As I lay dying, that voice saved me. From then on, the world before my eyes changed. I could see bizarre and dangerous curses, a bright red health bar appeared before me, and I gained a cruel cursed technique called [The Scales of Life]. When I entered Tokyo Jujutsu High, I met the Child of Destiny, Satoru Gojo. But to my utter surprise, the boy I'd had a crush on in middle school, Suguru Geto, was there too. Suguru Geto was as gentle as ever, but I couldn't lose myself in that gentleness. If I wanted to live, I had to stay close to Satoru Gojo. Besides, Suguru Geto didn't like me. He'd already turned me down. Satoru Gojo was no different. He seemed irritated by my persistence, but I still shamelessly stuck by him. ‘I'll do anything as long as I can stay alive.’ I held back my tears and thought resolutely. But... one day, I realized something was off. These two weren't quite what I'd thought they were! Didn't you say you weren't interested in me? The two of them closed in, and I trembled with fear. Suguru: He's not a good choice. We're clearly meant to be together. You'll forgive me for being an idiot back in middle school, right? Satoru: I can let the fact that you deceived me slide. You and Suguru are already in the past. You'll choose me, right? In everyone's eyes, Matsushima Haruka was a frail, sickly girl. No one thought she could ever become a remarkable jujutsu sorcerer. That is, until the day the Star Plasma Vessel and her companions were killed by the Sorcerer Killer, Suguru Geto fell into despair, and Satoru Gojo lay on the brink of death with a dagger buried in his head. Matsushima Haruka stepped forward. The reverse cursed technique of her cruel yet impartial technique, [The Scales of Life], had an effect no one could have anticipated. Green light, the color of life, blazed throughout the Tombs of the Star Corridor and spread across the entire school. And so, a miracle was born... “Matsushima Haruka was never a delicate girl. She is stronger than anyone. Neither illness nor despair can defeat her. She is a miraculous flower born in the desert, and she wants to pass that miracle on to others.” “Let's live through this together,” Matsushima Haruka said. After the girl who had a crush on him confessed, Suguru Geto refused her on impulse. He regretted it every day while he searched in vain for her. But she came back into his life as a jujutsu sorcerer, transferring to Tokyo Jujutsu High. He wanted to win back the woman he loved. But... why was she always clinging to Satoru Gojo? Jealousy was driving him mad. Suguru Geto felt as if he'd swallowed a ton of lemons, but he reassured himself that there was no way Haruka could like a jerk who bullied her all the time. Until one day, he saw the two of them embracing in the classroom. Haruka leaned against Satoru Gojo's chest, smiling with contentment. Suguru Geto could no longer lie to himself. He was going mad. The mysterious transfer student seemed to have some history with Suguru, so Satoru Gojo watched with curiosity. He imagined a whole story of a forced romance and a chase where one pursued and the other fled, and decided to join in on the fun. But... The transfer student often made sweets for him. Even when his sharp tongue made her cry, she still came to him the next day. She was always looking for a chance to cuddle up to him, and even made up lies to do so. Satoru Gojo fell into his own little cat-filled universe, then had a flash of inspiration. He understood: she'd fallen in love with him at first sight! Seeing Suguru Geto relentlessly pursuing her, Satoru Gojo grinned smugly. Since you've worked so hard, I suppose I can agree to be with you. But one day, Satoru Gojo found out that Suguru Geto was the one she'd had a crush on for years. Then what was he, a substitute? Satoru Gojo flew into a rage. He was going mad. And so their love-triangle showdown began. Content warnings: 1. I want to write a love-triangle story. Out-of-character warning! 2. The endgame pairing is undecided! 3. The heroine is an absolute beauty, strong but tragic, and rather soft-hearted. She tears up at the slightest thing! But she's incredibly strong and cherishes her life! 4. The main story is written in third person! [Check out my other completed story, *Becoming the Strongest After Gaining Nazarick's Guardians*] Theme: Growth and transformation
