You download the latest hit romance game.
DokiDoki: Love Across Three Lifetimes. Its romanceable characters range from high school boys to mature men, making countless players blush and their hearts race.
But none of that matters. You only downloaded it to win a bet with a friend.
Having been single your whole life, you're brimming with confidence. You skip the opening dialogue with one click and start the game.
[First Playthrough: Your Identity Is Ordinary]
You're a little disappointed that you didn't draw a hidden class, but your romanceable character more than makes up for it.
Your childhood friend next door is flawless in both personality and looks. Out of some unknown sense of responsibility, he's always looking after you with meticulous care, to the point of climbing through your window in the middle of the night to comfort you until you fall asleep.
You don't plan to spend money from the start, so you scrape together gifts from whatever you can find. But whether it's a failed cooking attempt or a flower you picked on a whim, every gift comes with a notification that his affection has increased. He's as easy to win over as they come, basically giving himself away for free.
A chosen one's opening could hardly be better! With beginner's luck this strong, you'll surely clear the game in one go!
"...Goodbye."
Something seems to flow out of your body. You feel around in confusion, but all you see is the sky growing dark.
Those gentle hands close your eyes one last time.
You: ?
[Second Playthrough: Your Identity Is Somewhat Talented]
Even after starting again, you still can't get over what happened.
What the heck? Didn't you max out [Considerate] and [Gentle]? The moment you opened the door, his affection shot up to 90! Are the developers idiots, or is this a data scam?!
Fortunately, the new combat system is pretty fun. You soon get hooked on farming monsters, building your gear, and stacking damage, until a religious school comes looking for you and pulls you back to the main story.
That's right, your romanceable character in the second playthrough is a teacher at the school.
It's not a proper school, and he's not a proper teacher, either. As his first disciple, you spend your days tucked under his arm as he flies you around to deal with cursed spirits, then skipping class for dessert and getting yelled at by Teacher Yaga.
Unfortunately, you die in an accident during a mission. When you open your eyes again, you've become a humanoid cursed spirit.
Seeing that his affection is at 80, you decide to confess and take your chances.
Then you take a blue beam head-on.
You: ?
[Third Playthrough: You Draw the Identity of a Hidden Genius]
After dying and coming back to life through two playthroughs, you've realized one thing for certain: the jujutsu world is garbage.
And the three great families who dare force you into a political marriage are the worst garbage of all.
You beat up those rotten tangerines and decide to stay in school.
This time, your romanceable character is a pitiful junior student.
After you rescue him from bullying, he acts like a stray dog who has finally found its owner. At first, he curls up timidly on the doormat by the door. Gradually, he starts sleeping in your bedroom.
A puppy's a puppy! It's normal for him to be clingy.
But you only step out for a moment, and someone takes your puppy away and sentences him to death.
You: ?
You evil developers! Prepare to die!
You spend enough to max out your level in one go, scoop up your puppy, and launch a full-on assault.
Wait--
That familiar white hair, that familiar blue beam.
Huh? Huh? Huh?!!
