"Kazuya..?"
"...Yeah?"
Inside the empty classroom, and sitting on the beige desk on the second last row, next to the window, was a pale, dark-haired young man, with sharp, golden eyes. He was dressed in a standard gray uniform.
He was handsome, undeniably so.
What stood out the most, however, was a brownish-blonde haired girl, dressed in a classic gray school uniform, twirling a strand of her long golden hair.
"Let's go home!" She pouted, tugging at the boy's sleeve.
A soft smile bloomed on the adolescent's face as he stood up, consoling the girl with a pat to the head.
"Sure, sure.."
He looked out the window, admiring the orange glow of the setting sun.
'..I spent too long studying. Ugh, the end of year tests are the worst..'
"Sorry for making you wait." The boy apologised, a sheepish expression on his face.
"It's fine! Let's just go now, Kazuya!" The girl chirped, nuzzling into his touch before dragging Kazuya out of the classroom with surprising strength.
"Again? We did it in the locker room this morning!" Kazuya lamented, a helpless expression on his face as Mia threw him into the janitor's closet.
Plop!
Kazuya collapsed into his gaming chair, idly spinning around in it, still dressed in the grey cardigan of his school uniform.
His hair was messy, his cheeks flushed, and his cardigan creased.
"Mia went at it again.." Kazuya massaged his sore thighs, "Amazonian press for an hour straight.."
A wry smile found his lips as he booted up his computer, rapping the edge of his desk.
'Hm, I shouldn't complain, though. Some men die of thirst, whilst others die drowning.'
Very wise words, Kazuya, wise words.
"Eh?!"
Kazuya exclaimed, standing up from his seat in shock.
"Yandere Life got an update? I thought the devs abandoned it!" He quickly clicked on the game icon, an excited grin on his face.
Yandere Life was a lewd game, one he had been playing for a long, long time. It was a simulator game, where you play as a 'Senpai', making everyday-choices that build affection points and avoid getting you either abducted, killed, or raped by the 'Yanderes'..
All the NPCs were randomly generated with every new run, and were programmed using a hyper-advanced AI. 'Yanderes' were selected randomly from the many girls, and the player had to navigate their school life carefully in order to live casually.
In Kazuya's opinion, the replayability, animations, and infinite heroine-creation capability made it the best H-game ever!
However, the game's fanbase were all female. Even after all his time on the internet, Kazuya could only assume that he was the only guy who played Yandere Life.
Sadly, despite all the players and support Yandere Life received, the devs quit updating it for 'personal' reasons, and had unfortunately disappeared off the face of the internet.
Coincidentally, Yandere Life stopped updating on the same day Kazuya confessed to Mia, becoming her boyfriend.
But now, after two years of no updates, Yandere Life updated again?
Amazing, it was absolutely amazing!
The title screen popped up, a ponytailed anime girl with a cute smile popped up on the screen, under her was written 'Yandere Life' in big, pink letters.
"The title screen's the same.." Kazuya mused, "Let's see what's new here.."
He moved his cursor towards 'Changelog'.
"Huh..?"
For some reason, his cursor wouldn't budge one bit, no matter how aggressively he moved his mouse.
"What the fuck? Are the batteries dead?" Kazuya sighed, trying not to throw his mouse against the wall in annoyance.
The anticipation was killing him, really! His heart was pounding against his ribcage.
Kazuya was a truly devoted fan, he even had Yandere Life merch, buried deep, deep inside his closet, away from the cruel, judgemental world..
He got up, heading downstairs to scavenge for some batteries, itching at his collarbone from under his loose fitting black shirt, which matched with his comfortable black shorts.
One step, two step, three step.
"Eh..?"
He tried taking a fourth step, but found himself unable to move. The only thing he could turn was his head, his eyes darting around nervously.
"The fuck?!"
"Tch, no swearing!" A sweet voice chastised.
Kazuya's eyes widened, his gaze locking onto his monitor-
The girl on the title screen of 'Yandere Life' was crossing her arms, her cute smile now an arrogant smirk.
"Who.. who the hell are you..?" Kazuya gulped.
'Clearly, this is some bullshit anime moment. A mere mortal like myself freaking out won't do anything.' He sweatdropped.
"Me?" The mascot pointed at herself, looking around.
'..Who else..?' Kazuya's eyebrow twitched.
"Yeah, you, Miss..?"
"How polite!" The mascot giggled, leaning her hands on the title of the game. "Just call me Game Master, handsome~"
'..Ok, really. What the fuck is going on?'
"Excuse me, Game Master, can I do anything for you..?" Kazuya forced a polite smile.
"Yup! I have a.. special position for you, my number one fan!" Game Master rubbed her hands together deviously, "You see.. I've chosen you as the only male player to be transported into Yandere Life! You're perfect: Handsome, perverted, good stamina, and an orphan! No parents to care about you when you're gone!"
'How does she know that I'm an orphan? This really is some third-rate anime plot..'
Kazuya blinked.
"..No thank you." He bowed his head lowly, and would have kowtowed if it wasn't for his current restriction on mobility
"What!? What do you mean 'no'? I'm giving you the chance of a life-time!" Game Master fumed, stomping her feet.
"I have a girlfriend who I love, I can't leave her." Kazuya firmly stated.
He knew he had no right to argue against this apparent digital god-like being, but..
Kazuya was loyal, and he truly did love Mia, all of her. Her personality, her hobbies, her face, her body, her flaws..
Mia loved him, and he loved her too, more than anything.
"..." Game Master's angry expression slowly melted away, a mischievous and pleased smile painted on her virtual face.
"Hehe, good, good. You're so adorable." Game Master chuckled, before her expression twisted into a scowl.
"Unfortunately, I'm the one who makes the decisions here."
Kazuya's heart dropped.
"Now, good luck~ And don't worry, there'll be plenty of other players." Game Master snapped her fingers, slowly licking her lips, "And they'll all be fighting over that fat cock of yours."
In an instant, his vision darkened, slowly turning pixelated.
"..Mia.." Kazuya muttered, his eyelids suddenly unbearably heavy.
