Tomie Physique Simulator

A player opens the recently popular Life Simulator Simulator, where they can randomly experience a different kind of life in the game.

[Loading new save...]

The player rubs their hands together in anticipation.

[You are a high school girl with the worst grades in class and an ordinary appearance.]

Mm-hmm!

[You cut your finger while sharpening a pencil.]

Mm-hmm!

[The whole class looks at you strangely, treating you with an unnaturally warm affection.]

Mm-hmm!

[On the way home from school, the aloof top student stops you, holding your male deskmate's severed head, and politely asks if he may lick the cut on your finger.]

...Huh?

On the player's second playthrough, they open the game again.

[New save loaded...]

The player rubs their hands together in anticipation.

[You are an ordinary person.]

I know!

[You are an ordinary person with paralyzed legs.]

Uh, okay!

[Your parents were servants. They died young, and the family they served adopted you out of kindness.]

That's kind of tragic, but I can accept it!

[The apocalypse will arrive in seven days.]

...?

[The apocalypse arrives: a zombie king, a deranged scientist, a base leader, a warlord...]

They all fall in love with me?

[They have all betrayed, humiliated, and abandoned you.]

...????

Future female lead setups will also include: a disgraced young idol; a frail married woman whose husband dies, then gets visited in bed every day by all kinds of evil spirits; a foolish village girl from the 1970s who bullies educated youths sent down to the countryside; and a stuttering shampoo girl in an old-fashioned romance who pursues money.

1. The Tomie physique means that anyone who meets the female lead becomes madly infatuated with her. No matter how righteous they seem, their dark desires grow a hundredfold until they turn evil, wanting to possess her alone and kill her. Inspired by Junji Ito's manga Tomie.

2. Various ordinary-looking, universally adored female leads, written to suit my chaotic tastes. This is not a fourth wall-breaking power fantasy, but a romance-oriented Mary Sue story. There are no minors in the first world; the female lead is an adult, and everyone else is a monster in disguise. I'll write all sorts of dark and twisted things, including wall-staring stuff. Readers who are attached to either the male or female lead should enter with caution.
