Unlocking the Tyrant Achievement in a Dating Game

Roy was drawn into the game by its dazzling promotional videos. He never expected to die suddenly in his gaming pod as soon as the download finished, only to be reborn in a world of swords and magic.

System: Welcome to "Heartbeat: The Alluring Romance Conquest." Available conquest route 1: [Obsessive Royal Brother's Forced Love]. Conquer the main character, [Cecil].

You and [Cecil] share one parent. Compared with the elegant and powerful Crown Prince Cecil, you are unremarkable and timid, able only to watch him from afar. But your frail health soon brings you to the end of your life.

When you wake again, you find yourself trapped in the "Elemental Rift." Here, space and time have no meaning, and there is no food or water. Though it has kept you from death, your world now consists of Cecil alone. To survive, you choose:

1. Kneel on the ground and expose your delicate, pale neck, revealing your weakness to Cecil without reservation. Tell him: "Brother, please love me forever." (Ending unlocked: [Love Blooms])

2. Do everything you can to escape, only to be caught and brought back time and again. Look at him with pain and love, and whisper in despair: "Where have you hidden my brother?" (Ending unlocked: [Flowers Bloom from Withered Bones])

Roy says nothing. He just keeps leveling up and killing monsters.

System: You have killed every elemental being in the Elemental Rift. The laws of magic have been shaken, and you have broken through the level cap.

System: You killed your father and brother. Even if you take the throne, no one will accept you.

System: You killed every noble who opposed you and took the throne. Achievement unlocked: [Usurper].

System: Conquest route 1, [Obsessive Royal Brother's Forced Love], completed. Conquest route 2 unlocked: [Domineering Demon King Imprisonment Love]. Conquer [Zephyr].

You and the demons of the Abyss are sworn enemies. The Demon King [Zephyr] captures you and demands that you atone for the demons who died because of you. You choose:

1. Endure every humiliation and torment in silence, atoning for your sins. With your dying breath, tell Zephyr you love him. (Ending unlocked: [Love Lost])

2. Look at him sadly and silently give your life to restore the Abyss. Zephyr is moved by you and wants to confess his true feelings, but by then you have become nourishment for the Abyss. He spends the rest of his life grieving for you. (Ending unlocked: [Moonlight])

Roy: Die? Who?

System: You killed a divine champion of the God of Death. The enraged god has inflicted divine punishment upon you. Achievement unlocked: [Blasphemer].

Roy touches the divine punishment beneath his eyes. "This new skin looks pretty cool! Is this a skin I can get without spending a dime?!"
