[DOL] A Max-Level Player's Fresh Start

You are an excellent player who knows every mechanic in the game DOL, has completed every character route, unlocked every path, and earned every achievement medal.

Then you transmigrate.

You happen to arrive at the orphanage, before any of it has happened.

At this point, Bailey hasn't demanded an exorbitant debt, Robin hasn't gone through immense suffering, Whitney is still going around town trying to humiliate you, Sydney is still the pure and polite boy he used to be, and Kylar doesn't even know you.

Nobody in town knows who you are. You have no skills or experience, and the red threads connecting you to all the characters are still curled up, untouched.

Nothing has begun yet.

You, once a player with S-rank skills, covered in honors, adored by everyone, and capable of beating up all 108 boys in Jerk Off Town, smile faintly.

Ah, this really gets the blood pumping.

You run into Whitney in an alley. He has a crowd of rowdy friends behind him as he swaggers over.

He stops in front of you, shoves you against the wall, and grins smugly. “How's my favorite slut doing today?”

Pain shoots through your back. You hear his friends laughing behind you, and someone is taking pictures with their phone.

“Hit him!”

“Humiliate him!”

You narrow your eyes at the empty Dominance and Affection meters above his head, then grin wickedly. Before anyone can react, you shove him against the wall instead, grip his chin, and kiss him.

“Not as well as you, little dog.” You shove his shoulder hard while he's too stunned to move, then grope him and smirk. “They've got pictures of you being forced by me. Now everyone will know you're mine.”

“Up close, I see you're actually pretty good-looking. Come to think of it, being harassed by you might not be such a bad thing for me.”

You laugh loudly, pat his face in a humiliating manner, then scamper over the wall before he can react.

Whitney is left standing there in a daze. After a while, he comes to his senses, angrily smashes his friend's camera, and orders everyone not to tell a soul. A blush still colors his cheeks.

“Fuck! Slut, don't let me catch you!”

[Your stats: +Affection -Whitney's Dominance +Reputation]

After a night out on the town, you sneak back to the orphanage under cover of darkness.

But the moment you step inside, pain suddenly shoots through your arm. Someone grabs you roughly and drags you into a room.

“Time to pay up, boy.” Bailey's face is dark as he grabs your arm roughly and threatens you. “You owe me $2,000. If you don't pay, we'll see if Remy's farm can make you more obedient.”

His grip on your arm is so tight you can't break free. Your combat skills are barely known, not enough to stand up to Bailey.

You glance at the few hundred dollars in your savings, but there's not a trace of fear on your face. You merely shrug and turn slightly, letting Bailey see the person stepping out of the shadows behind you.

“Hello. How much would it take for you to leave my boy alone for good?” Avery gives a haughty, self-assured smile and steps out from behind you, wallet in hand.

Bailey still has a tight grip on your arm. He gives a cold laugh. “I'm afraid you can't afford him.”

Footsteps ring out, accompanied by the scrape of metal. Whitney emerges from the shadows too, dragging Bailey's gun behind him.

Whitney pulls you back and shrugs. “Whether I can afford him or not, I couldn't say.”

Bailey: ???

[Your stats: ++Reputation --Bailey's Affection ++Hope]

You slowly grow from a penniless orphan into an all-around powerhouse in a small town.

Being dragged into the dark by someone on the street? Forced to bear trauma that isn't yours? Humiliated everywhere you go?

“Not at all.”

You look at the gleaming new Jerk Off Town and blink innocently, then smile at the curious new traveler who's thinking of settling there.

“Don't worry. The town you're visiting is full of kind, decent people!”

The following is a reader's guide.

1. The protagonist is a heartthrob to everyone, but I'm a Whitney fan, so only Whitney has a romance route with the protagonist. The other romanceable NPCs will have emotional bonds with the protagonist too, and they'll all find happy endings.

2. By emotional bonds, I mean feelings that do not include [romance].

3. There will be an emotional storyline with the ghost. My Willpower was too high to keep him around, and I've always regretted it, so I have to add some scenes.

4. Some parts overlap with the game's plot because they're so sweet, but the story will also go in many new directions.

5. All the characters are male.

6. I'm writing this for love. Everything, including updates, is up to fate.

Theme: Love yourself.
