"So... how does this work?"
(((That's a pretty vague, question, Shujin.)))
"I mean, how does... well, my life work? Do I get to choose scenes to go to? For the heroines, I mean??"
(((Nah, nothing like that. No fast travel or auto-teleport. If you want to meet a lady, you're gonna have to go out and meet her yourself!)))
That was... actually a little disappointing. You'd kind of been hoping for a full-on Isekai style life, where you had a videogame-like interface to guide your life.
(((Hey, don't look so down! I know what you're thinking, and let me tell you, you are a little special in that regard. In comparison to the rest of the world, I mean. You'll see what I mean if you say 'status')))
"What? What do you mean, status-"
*Vwish*
With a sudden electronic crackle, a stat screen appeared before you, translucent blue and... well, it looked like a generic 'gamer-style manga' stat screen.
And on it...
>>>>>Shujin Kou<<<<<
Level 1
Title: N/A
Esper Level: FFF = Pathetic overall ability. Currently capable of minimal physical alteration (other.) Extremely short term major physical alteration (self.)
Personal Info = Activate tab to see more
>>>>><<<<<
Your first thoughts were...
'This is... really simplified, but super cool! You're read a lot of manga/webcomics that involved highschoolers with boring lives suddenly getting video game powers, so this was... this was really exciting!
It almost made you forget the fact that you'd become Shujin Kou, the harem protagonist, and not that you were stuck with (minor) gamer powers back in your boring old world!
But...
The 'personal info' tab did exactly as it said. It information like your height, weight, gender (male, duh), age, and even a brief description of your overall health.
In short, it contained boring, but practical information.
"Narrator, do I need a level? This isn't an rpg, it's supposed to be a visual novel."
(((I had a feeling you were going to ask that. And... honestly, I'm not sure why you do either. Esper level and 'level' are two different things entirely. I'll have to ask the higher ups later. Might be a bug that needs to be removed. Either way, just focus on 'esper level.' That's the only thing you really need to look at right now.)))
Huh. You still weren't sure who the 'higher ups' the Narrator kept referring to were, but you decided it was better not to ask. He'd always been pretty miserly about giving out information about the actual mechanics of the game, so you probably weren't going to have any luck pursuing that line of questioning.
Anyways, moving on!
FFF.
It stung, but you weren't surprised.
FFF (aka absolute garbage tier) was literally the lowest rating you could get, but it didn't surprise you. Thinking it over, you reasoned that in a world where most espers developed there ability years before you did, you were pretty far behind the curve.
(((That's a good way of looking at, champ! Now get out there and raise that level! You're not gonna be a FFF-trash harem protagonist for long, unless you want to stay that way!)))
"Yeah, I just have to keep using my ability and it'll get stronger, right?"
(((You got it. Though... I will warn you, don't go using it willy-nilly. The police don't take too kindly to espers going wild with their abilities. And given the nature of yours, the female population at your school probably won't be too friendly to you either if you constantly use to amuse yourself.)))
That made sense, but still... come on! You'd been given the power to make girl's boobs bigger, and you were being told not to do that?
"Well... guess I'd better head out. I won't get to experience anything this world has to offer if I just sit here in my room. Speaking of, isn't today a school day?"
(((Yup, it's another boring Monday. Well, boring for most people, that is.)))
"Alright, give me 20 minutes to pack my schoolbag and get some breakfast, and then... I start my new life as the harem protagonist!
---------------------
Walking down the sidewalk, you knew this was the life for you. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the air was warm...
(((Hey, earth to Shujin! My plot-sense is tingling! Eyes up! You're about to meet one of the heroines!) And it's one of the originals!)))
'Wait, what the heck does that mean?'
(((Bub, this really isn't the time or the place for that talk. But if you want the shorthand of it, basically there's a lot more ladies out there than just the core cast of Harem Protagonist. Some you might recognize, some you might not. Think of it this way, there were only what, Eight? Nine characters counting you in the original game? So, well... a bunch of other characters- mosty ladies- were brought in from, *ahem* other media to flesh the world out. Now snap out it and focus!)))
Gulping, you took a breath to steady yourself. This was it! The first 'scene' in your life as the Harem Protagonist!
Turning the corner on the sidewalk you were on, you saw...
------------------
1) A tall, purple-haired girl walking along with confidence (RESERVED)
2) A short, half-asleep girl trudging down the street (Ayano) OPEN TO ALL
3) A tiny... floating, transparent girl?! (Ava) OPEN TO ALL
(((That's a pretty vague, question, Shujin.)))
