The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Role-Playing Game

Three years after leaving the game, Tagra was contacted by the System again. It wanted to invite him to play the game's tutorial NPC.

System: [Everything is fine except for those NPCs who went crazy when you suddenly disappeared, and the players who do whatever they want!]

Tagra: "..."

Where exactly is the easygoing part?

The famous full-dive game Days Unfinished entered closed beta, and its announcement immediately drew enormous attention.

Especially the beautiful, strong, tragic characters, each one a heartthrob who made players sob their eyes out.

The spirited young monarch was imprisoned in a tower, his burning passion worn away to nothing.

The frail, pale saint became known as the one who brought about disaster, yet still held fast to his faith and willingly entered the land of corruption.

The empire's dazzling twin stars were driven apart by a misunderstanding, and never uncovered the truth, not even at the very end.

The forum was flooded with tears: [Damn this game studio! Do you have to keep tormenting characters like these heartthrobs?!]

Tagra: "...Wait a second, aren't all these characters my old secret identities?!"

And I'd been playing a villainous route back then!

How did they all get whitewashed out of nowhere?!

Read Before You Start:

1. The players are mostly morally dubious troublemakers who play for fun. The protagonist is mild-mannered on the surface but secretly ruthless. Everyone's morals are questionable.

2. Game forum posts appear occasionally, including ships between the protagonist and other NPCs.

3. The players and Tagra have a deep bond, especially in the middle and later parts. If that's not your thing, you may want to drop this early.

4. Tagra has an absurd number of devoted fans who ship him exclusively with their favorite. There are all kinds of relationships, including family, friendship, and faith. He is the undisputed strongest character in this story.

Theme: Integrity is the foundation of a person's character.
