This novel is also known as "What Does an Investigator Sing About at a Volleyball School?", "Volleyball Won't Kill You, but It Can Make You Critically Fail a Sanity Check", and "Heartbroken Investigator, Stop Playing Volleyball"
Hello, I'm a ■ disciple from ■ Village, a bona fide Japanese high school boy with occupation number 106. I was supposed to kick off the module's story when I set foot in the village high school, but a volleyball came flying out of nowhere and knocked me unconscious.
...What kind of module starts with you getting knocked out by a volleyball?!
Before I passed out, I was still cursing inwardly: And you, black-haired, blue-eyed kid, don't think I didn't see you. You were the one who hit me, weren't you?!
I transmigrated. I transmigrated after getting hit by a volleyball.
And I've figured out two things.
First, I must have gone from COJ to COV after getting hit by that ball. Call of Volleyball. Otherwise, there's no explaining why everyone I know is so obsessed with playing volleyball.
Second, the black-haired, blue-eyed kid is probably the [Cat] in my current module. Even though volleyball is all he ever thinks about, that's fine. I'll spoil him rotten.
Step one: Use my volleyball skill of 17 to play a practice match with him. I don't know the first thing about volleyball, but if the dice goddess says I rolled a critical success, then I did. The blue-eyed cat is stunned.
Step two: Use my lockpicking skill of 80 to pick the lock on the training gym in the middle of the night. This gives a bunch of passionate high school boys who are going crazy wanting to play volleyball a place to play. The blue-eyed cat is impressed.
Step three: Use my sanity of 65 to read The King of Volleyball. I fail the sanity check and roll symptoms of volleyball obsession, a special madness mechanic in this module. The blue-eyed cat is envious.
The final step: Use my Charm of 5, which is below the base value, to ask the blue-eyed cat to help me get through the module's story... Hm? Why did I fail?
After a moment's thought, I pick up the volleyball. My Charm shoots up to 88, and I ask him again. Okay, critical success.
...Enough, blue-eyed cat. Take your volleyball and go through this damn COV.
[Notes]:
1. The main text is in third person. The pairing is with a certain volleyball-brained flying fish.
2. There will be an original character sheet background and truth in the style of COJ. I'll do my best to keep it authentic. (Is that really a good idea?)
3. There's not much Cthulhu content, just a backdrop, and volleyball will be adapted to fit the setting. (There won't be any overpowered plotlines.)
4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
Theme: Get fit, obey the law, and love life!
