Chapter 27 [Event] [Hectic First School Day] Prologue

[!] When [Event] appears on one of my chapters' titles, it means the starting of a true [Event] of the Game.

Now starts the Gamestory

=======================================

[Princess And Dragon], the First Game.

When it came out, it didn't succeed on the first day. It was only after a week that people started to get interested in that unique game.

It started with girls who liked the romance in the game, then the boys, who completely got hooked on the gore and action in the game.

There was also one peculiarity that both girls and boys loved.

Choice.

The choices we would make influenced heavily on the progression of the game and on its ending. More than a thousand endings and no one could finish the game by keeping every Heroine and Support character alive. It was said to be impossible.

There were paid contents and a shop to buy some cheat items, but even with them, it was hardly possible to get a true happy ending.

The boys, with their pride, wanted to win the challenge while the girls were desperately trying to support their impossible happy ending for their favorite character.

One mistake, one wrong choice, one wrong wording could lead to the death of a [Main Character]. People soon understood that it was also a psychological game. Smart people might like those kinds of tricky games.

As for me, I was just forced to play it because of Ephera's insistence, but I quickly got hooked on the game. I loved the system of choice influencing the story. I felt like I was living the game through the protagonist.

It was enjoyable, though sometimes I felt frustrated with the difficulty of the game. Several characters died and I couldn't do anything.

The Hell-Romance game.

***

"I will never forgive you, Jarvis!"

I said as I washed myself at an extreme speed.

My hands moved on their own like a robot.

[You didn't wake up. I did my best.]

"Don't joke with me! You are a system! You must have some kind of alarm!"

-Splash!

I turned on the water and splashed the water on my whole body with the shower head.

[I already said that I was not a system.]

"Then you are what?!"

[]

"Cleenah? That horny Goddess is looking at me taking a bath!"

I hid my excalibur while guiding the shower head on my body.

[]

"A horny granny then?"

I sneered and got out of the shower stall with a towel around my waist.

[]

Cleenah seemed angry at my words.

But I didn't care!

"Yeah, yeah."

I dried my hair and put on my uniform.

It was a pair of dark blue pants, a white shirt, a red tie and a blue blazer. On the chest part of the uniform was the emblem of the Celesta Kingdom. Two angel's wings in gold color. There were also golden linings perfectly sewn on the sleeves of the blazer.

How to say it

That uniform alone cost more than a million of Eden, a million of dollars

It was the official uniform of the [Royal Eden Academy].

After putting on my pants and shirt, I tried to put on my red tie but I couldn't!

"Fuck!"

How to make that freaking knot!

"Edward! What in the world are you still doing up there?! You're already late!"

"Y-Yeah!"

I gave up and just put it around my neck like a drunken man.

Putting on my blazer and my shoes, I climbed down.

"Sighyou are just like your father, carelessness at his peak."

Aunt Belle shook her head, exasperated.

"How many times are you going to say that, Aunt?"

I grinned and started to eat on the plate Belle prepared for me.

"Thanks for the pancakes!"

I started to eat without minding my manners.

"What a troublesome childand look at your overgrown hair. You look like a girl with your mother's face."

Belle took out of nowhere a pair of scissors, a comb and started doing my hair from behind.

"What the heck, aunt Belle? I'm late y'know?"

I said with my mouth full.

"Shut up a bit, it's only for a few minutes. You're already late anyway."

Belle grabbed my head and forced me to look in the front.

After five minutes, I felt lighter than before.

"Look."

She showed me my reflection with a mirror.

My hair has been cut short now.

I looked exactly like in the game except I didn't have that scary glare.

"Amazing, you can also do that"

I said, admiringly to my aunt.

"Of course!"

She cleaned my hair with a dryer and slapped my head gently.

"Have a good entrance ceremony, dear nephew."

She said with a kind smile, but her smile didn't last long when she noticed my tie wasn't fixed.

"W-Wait!"

"Don't worry! See ya!"

I waved my hand to my aunt and ran away from the mansion. I didn't have time.

[As expected of you, you're already late.]

[]

"Already criticizing me right in the morning? Don't care anyway since I planned to be late!"

[]

"Yep! The first game had already started. Two other people will be late except me, so I won't be alone."

[]

"Yeah. The [Protagonist] Jayden Rayena and one of the [Main Heroines], Milleia Sophren."

Both of them would be late because of an incident.

The incident was nothing other than the first [Event] of the game where Jayden meets Milleia.

[]

"Yeah, I need to be sure everything starts like in the game."

I confirmed that it was the game's world, but would all the events be similar? And in the game, we were the ones making the choices, but this time it will be Jayden Rayena. I want to know what kind of guy he is in this world.

I needed him to get a happy ending in this game. I couldn't do it alone.

I know.

To get a happy ending, so to avoid the destruction of the Celesta Kingdom, there were several red flags to pull out. It's going to be hard. I don't know if I will withstand all the pressure but I had to do it.

Soon I reached the biggest mana train station in the Falkrona duchy and waited for the train.

"Oh my God, look at him!"

"W-Who is he?!"

"He has grey hair, could it be?!"

"You mean Lord Edward?! But he disappeared a month ago!"

"More importantly, I didn't know he was that hot!"

"Are you stupid?! You heard about what he had done to all the women in his mansion?!"

"I-I wouldn't mind if it's him!"

"What?!"

[]

"Hm? What?"

[]

"Listening what? I'm concentrating, don't you see?"

I tried to repeat the scene of Milleia's introduction in my head plenty of times to be sure, I forgot nothing.

The train finally arrived and I went easily on it despite the huge crowd because they made the way for me. Did they finally notice that I was Edward? They must be scared of me.

I grabbed one of the steel bars on the train and didn't sit anywhere.

When I swept my gaze around to see if there were other people like me from the Royal Eden Academy late, I saw no one with my uniform.

They sure are all diligent

Still, why are those girls screaming?

Am I that scary?

When I looked at some boys, they also yelped and stepped back.

Guess yeah

[]

'Dense Protagonist? You mean Jayden? Yeah, he sure is dense. When I played the game, I nearly broke my TV because of his dumb reactions.'

I smiled, remembering Ephera trying to stop me.

[]

What's with her?

Half an hour later, the lightening speed mana train arrived at the [Central Celesta Station]. I was in the capital of the Celesta Kingdom, [Dorian].

and it was worse than the Falkrona station. It was completely packed with people.Geett the ltest vels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

I slithered like a professional snake between people, but even like that, it was hard to get out of this station.

I was wasting time, dammit.

"H-Hey brat, how dare y-"

"Buzz off."

"Y-Yes!"

When the man saw my face and hair, he pushed away all the people before him. All the gazes turned toward me.

"That hair"

"It must be Edward, the previous heir"

"Was he always that-"

"Look at this uniform!"

"Move!"

I shouted and they all moved instantly.

Even if I lost my status as heir, I was still the son of the Duke, so they didn't want to cause problems for me.

I ignored the whispers and rushed out of the station.

On my right was the way to the academy and on my left was the long road where all carriages and cars would come, including Milleia's carriage, but her carriage was still far away because of an ambush by bandits.

I shifted my gaze to the huge clock on the tower of the academy.

Fifteen minutes before 10AM.

The ceremony starts at 10AM.

For ** sake!

I rushed at high speed to the opposite side.

Milleia and Jayden were the priorities.

Hope I'm not late!
