"System... are you sure that twisted, chaotic creature ahead is my romance target?"
"She doesn't look anything like the voluptuous Kasumigaoka Utaha at all!"
On a bustling street.
A handsome black-haired youth, Kawashima Toya, hid behind a telephone pole, speaking cautiously into the air.
Kawashima Toya was a transmigrator—an otaku from Earth.
An accident three days ago had sent him to this world, a fusion of various anime series. Along with his transmigration, he had awakened a system unique to him.
The entity he was currently conversing with in his mind was his cheat—the [World Conquest System].
As the name implied, the World Conquest System was designed to capture the attention of the World Consciousness.
He could accept commissions issued by the World Consciousness. By completing these commissions, he would earn Source Points. These points acted as the system's hard currency, allowing him to purchase various abilities to strengthen himself, with the ultimate goal of becoming this world's only max-level human.
After binding with the system, Toya quickly received his first novice commission:
Resolve the obsession of his previous life: Get a girlfriend.
As long as he succeeded in finding a partner, he would receive the Novice Gift Pack issued by the system.
To complete this commission—and to end the twenty-two-year streak of being single that had haunted his past life—he chose a beautiful girl he had adored as an otaku: Kasumigaoka Utaha.
After spending three days familiarizing himself with this new world, he felt the time was right.
Guided by the system, he successfully located Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Toya had prepared to make a perfect first impression. However, an accident occurred.
Crossing the street through the heavy flow of people, he finally found the Kasumigaoka Utaha he had been longing for.
But instead of the excitement he expected from seeing an anime character in real life, his heart was filled with boundless terror. He wanted nothing more than to turn around and flee for his life.
The reason was simple: the entity the system identified as "Kasumigaoka Utaha" was a monster he couldn't even begin to comprehend.
There were no black stockings that made an otaku's heart skip a beat. There was no alluring, curvy figure.
There was only a twisted, chaotic monstrosity—calling it a "monster" didn't even seem sufficient.
It was a terrifying anomaly, as if pieced together from indescribable existences from outside the world. The beautiful JK uniform she should have been wearing appeared distorted and hideous.
Her form was covered in eyes filled with madness, radiating a terrifying, primal malice that felt alien to this reality.
Toya took just one look and felt his sanity beginning to crumble, as if he were falling into a deep, abyssal purgatory.
Fortunately, his mind didn't completely break. He only felt the deep, instinctive fear that such an grotesque creature invoked.
Although he hadn't gone insane, he had to ask himself: Could a monster that instills such terror just by being looked at really coexist peacefully with humans?
[Host, are you suffering from a cognitive disorder?]
[The individual ahead is precisely your capture target — Kasumigaoka Utaha.]
Suddenly, the system's cold, mechanical voice rang out.
"Fine, I have a cognitive disorder," Toya replied flatly. "Please find someone else. I'm not dealing with this."
Without sparing a second glance at the 'Kasumigaoka Utaha' who was about to vanish into the crowd, Toya turned and walked away without hesitation.
He didn't want to argue with the system because he trusted his own judgment.
How could that chaotic, insane creature possibly be Kasumigaoka Utaha?
That monster looks incredibly vicious.
You want me to romance that thing? He suspected that the moment he approached, he would attract the attention of something truly horrific.
The rewards in the system shop—piano skills, shogi mastery, business acumen, and so on—were not worth risking his life for.
Wouldn't it be better to just stay alive and be a plagiarist, copying works from my previous life to make a living?
The system, seeing Toya turn and leave without a shred of reluctance, was stunned.
At that moment, it even began running a diagnostic to see if there was an error within itself.
Clearly, the girl perfectly matched Kawashima Toya's preferences—voluptuous figure, black stockings.
Why did he turn away without hesitation?
[Host, please explain the current situation in detail...]
Hearing the system's reply, Toya laughed in exasperation.
"Do you really think that creature, which looks like something out of a chaotic Cthulhu mythos, is Kasumigaoka Utaha?"
[Cthulhu...]
[Please wait. The system is conducting a joint scan with the World Consciousness...]
Toya let out a light snort and waited quietly.
If there was a solution, he naturally wouldn't choose to part ways with the system.
With the system's help, reaching the peak of life would be so much easier.
