Maxed-Out Charm, but in a Detective Drama

Friend: "Kanon, you're so beautiful. If you don't have any dating experience, you're going to be an easy target for scumbags!"

Takanashi Kanon: "?"

Friend: "So go ahead and use that face of yours to play a full-dive romance game!"

Takanashi Kanon: "Dokidoki... One-of-a-Kind Love?"

Friend: "Romance games always have names like that~ I worked so hard to get this beta invite, so you have to treasure this precious opportunity. To get the best experience, remember to max out your charm stat right away!"

Takanashi Kanon received a beta invite to the full-dive game Dokidoki: One-of-a-Kind Love from her friend. Persuaded to max out her charm stat, she transmigrated as soon as she logged in, thanks to a game bug.

In the darkness, icy fingertips carefully touched Takanashi Kanon's cheek. Overwhelming love turned the scent of blood in the air into shackles brimming with murderous intent.

Waking up with her life in danger, Takanashi Kanon's heart pounded. In that moment, she finally understood the game's true meaning.

So... this wasn't a romance game at all.

Takanashi Kanon was a first-year student at Toto University, and when she first enrolled, her God-given beauty made her famous across the internet.

As everyone marveled at her beauty, Takanashi Kanon disappeared.

Following the clues, the police arrived at the suspect's private residence and found a golden cage in the rose garden behind the house.

Inside, Takanashi Kanon was like a bird with broken wings, surrounded by scarlet roses, the hem of her dress stained with crimson spots.

She held her hand firmly against the suspect's neck, blood still gushing between her fingers.

The suspect had already lost consciousness, yet a strange smile was frozen on his face.

At the sound of movement, Takanashi Kanon looked up, her moss-green eyes filled with panic. "Someone, please... save him!"

"Miss Takanashi, don't be afraid. You're safe now."

The young officer tentatively reached out. As the blood on Takanashi Kanon's fingertips touched his palm, another beast silently broke free of its shackles.
