Now, I'm the Attractive Lead in a Dating Sim

The concept of essence grapples with the notion of particularity. When we focus on an individual, we are pointing out the idiosyncracy of their essential nature. Therefore, in this narrative, it all commences with a simple gift from a friend—a Dating Game from a renowned Japanese company. On Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes as he is murdered. But as he closes his eyes, a blinding flash of light transports him to an unknown location. Upon awakening, disorientation reigns as he gazes upon a different room through unfamiliar eyes. His reflection, once a mirror to his former self, reveals a startling revelation: "W-What is this? This person I see in the mirror, who is he?" Here, the juxtaposition of the insignificance of his old self and the allure of his new identity serves as a symbolic crossroads. It plunges his psyche in a conventional understanding of self-sufficiency and the authentic self. Thus, he embraces the name Nakamura Takumi, becoming the very embodiment of the dating game's protagonist. [Note: This is the same history on Wattpad (in spanish) and on HoneyFeed (But it's abandoned), I'm the same guy. Also, the illustrations are from an AI, so, There's gonna be errors!] [It should be noted that there will be a few characters/dialogues in Japanese, but with the translation/meaning obviously]

Prologue: Myself

For days, I have been studying in this high school. I must concede that my statistics in the game has been subpar and my efforts yielding little progress.

For days, I have been living in this house. Seeking solace in its walls, my situation has brought a sense of serenity, but my parents remain apprehensive about my state of mind.

For days, I have been wandering through this world. My thoughts plagued by memories of my past life. Despite my efforts to embrace this new reality, I cannot shake the feeling of isolation that gnaws at my soul.

For days, I have been living in this body. I have noticed the perks of possessing an attractive countenance. The inherent resources that come with such an appearance have endowed me with an added charm, though I fear it may lead to a clash with my original personality.

For days, I have been living without being myself. My ego swelling with each passing moment, and my demeanor has altered drastically. Parties and social events have become a regular occurrence, and I find myself at the center of attention more often than not.

But beneath the glittering facade, I'm consumed by doubt and uncertainty.

Do I genuinely desire this?

It's certainly fun. Such a thrilling experience, one that I could have never imagine with my old self. But, who knows? I've never tried it.
