World's Number One Idol RPG

The simulation game The First Idol became an instant hit upon release.

[Your mother died young. You have a famous actor for a brother and a famous idol for a younger sister.]

Players can raise their stats by winning over NPCs and taking part in different daily activities, until they become the world's number one idol and beat the game.

Game disaster, Hoshino Shinju, slaps her thigh: Ah! Don't worry! I know this opening from the start!

[Click to view support NPCs available to recruit:]

[Silver-haired Shark Killer] [Undercover Public Security Officer] [Cult Leader] [Strongest Sorcerer]... Bzz... Bzz... Loading error...

System: Wait, this character DLC seems a little strange...

Player: Ah! Don't worry! These NPCs are so distinctive!

System: What the hell, wai...

She immediately throws herself into a flurry of reckless, chaotic moves, then looks up with confidence.

Shinju: Have I become the world's number one idol?!

But the old, broken, brain-dead System only comes back to its senses just then. With a loud crackle, it finally reveals the blood-red labels above the "recruitable" characters:

[World-Class High-Threat Boss]

System: No.

The System falls silent in despair: But... they've all become your rabid fans.

No one knows when it started, but Tokyo suddenly descended into chaos.

1. The higher-ups of the jujutsu world issue an emergency order. The radical cult, the Star Religious Group, suddenly erupts into full-scale rebellion. A Grade 1 sorcerer is dispatched to suppress them, and a massive procession heads straight for Tokyo Dome...

Members of the cult: "Shinju! My Shinju! I love you, Shinju!!"

Afterward, a certain unnamed cult leader gives an interview with a smile:

"What illegal, radical, antisocial organization? We're the legitimate national fan club for Shinju."

The sorcerers: ...

2. Matsuda is looking for his childhood friend as usual after work when he notices a new billboard ad on the building across the street. A handsome man and a beautiful woman are holding perfume as they embrace, while fans below wave lights and scream.

Then he sees his childhood friend's face on the billboard...

And then he walks straight into a telephone pole!

3. Vodka thinks his big brother has something on his mind lately.

But he's a veteran idol fan! The most important thing right now is to go buy the latest limited-edition album from his favorite idol...

Until he runs right into another fan's solid chest!

Gin stands in front of him, looking grim, with the last copy of the album in his hand.

...Vodka decides that today is the day he's going to die.

Meanwhile,

A rising star named Hoshino Shinju is becoming a national dream idol.

Under the stage lights, her golden eyes shine like stars and the moon. Everyone cries her name in a frenzy, pouring all their love and passion into that beam of light.

But when she turns around with a gentle smile, reflected in those eyes...

...there is unmistakably only your figure.

It's a love built on lies, enough to conquer the whole world.

Until October, when disaster strikes Shibuya, born from the twisted convergence of human desire.

To protect the person she loves,

...that dazzling moon finally falls toward destruction.

"So, is there anything else you'd like to confess?"

Hoshino Aqua looks at his family's battered front door and the horde of grim-faced police officers, Public Security agents, and sorcerers outside... then picks up his sister, who has come back from the dead.

Aqua: You were being an idol...?

Hoshino Shinju QAQ: But I really was just playing a game!
