Dreams and Dates

"Lem, you should forget her. She is long gone. Just how long will you hold her body." A short white-haired man looks at him and asks.

...…

The man doesn't reply and keeps starting at the face. The giant hole made by the arrow was already healed but left a huge mark. He touched it. "Does it hurt? Do you need anything?"

"Have you finally gone crazy?" The man pulls his shoulders and shouts at him, but gets no replies.

"Vera they think you died. They are so foolish that they can't even see you sleeping. You aren't dead, right? You are just sleeping. Sleep as long as you want but when you wake up, tease me as you always do."

"Why can't you accept it already that she is no more? Why are you putting yourself in so much pain? Stop it already."

"Huh….. Don't joke around. Can't you see her sleeping soundlessly? Are you blind? Just look how beautiful she is when sleeping. Hey, but don't try to steal her away. I won't give her to you. You can take any other girl. Hehe." He giggles as he gives the man a reply.

"I can't see you like this anymore. I am leaving you. I hope you will realize soon that Vera is no more." The man walks out looking back. "We lost him forever."

"Who will look after the empire? King died in the accident, the only prince survived, who is now crazy."

"Don't ever say that again. Till his Majesty recovers, her sister will manage the empire."

Gasp....

"What the hell did I just dream of?" I woke up in between my dreams. Maybe a dark romance isn't my type, man I wished for a much more good stuff but what did I get? A fucking sad story of a dumped guy. I cleared all the shitty thoughts I had about the dream and checked my phone.

"It's still 3 am and I can't even sleep now." There you know it, I can't fucking sleep after getting up while sleeping. I hate disturbances the most while I am sleeping, as I have no way of sleeping again.

In my sheer disappointment, I booted up my computer and decided to give the game one more try. I suck at action games, so an eroge works just fine for me, but I don't have many of them. I loaded the game.

[Check for new version]

[Credits]

"Hmmm." I noticed the fourth box wasn't there when I launched it first. "Maybe it was a bug." I clicked on it.

[0.6 GB/469.42 GB]

My jaw opened wide as I looked at the fucking bar that took an insane amount of time to fill. Luckily, I have an unlimited data cap, but it doesn't mean that I have a super high-speed connection. "It will at least take 30 mins to complete." I sighed at my luck and fired up some tabs. A few of them were quite noticeable.

I jacked off and then checked the bar. "You fucking kidding me?"

The downloader was over, and here comes the fucking installer that took an eternity to lead up the 400 GB worth of data. My setup is very fast, at least when compared to an average gamer. It is my hobby to horde every latest component available. I looked at the bar, with my eyes literally stuck at it.

0.1℅….. 0.9℅….. 1.5℅

Steadily the bar filled up so did my excitement. I wasn't happy to play it but rather happy to peek on to 400 GBs worth of data. 

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, it was over. The hellish time passed away and I clicked on the New Game menu.

[Are you sure you want to create a new profile? It will result in the deletion of the previous profile]

My brows raised, why should I even care if the fucking corrupted account gets fucking deleted? I clicked on yes.

[Enter your name]

"Abhi." I followed my instincts and entered my name only to realize that the lead is feminine.

[Abhi, please enter your preferences]

[Do you want a harem?]

Interesting. In all the fucking games I played there wasn't any idea of a harem. Of course, there were games that did have a harem but I couldn't get my hands on them. I smirked and clicked on yes.

[What kind of setting do you want to be in?]

[Medieval Era]

[War]

[Game]

[Fantasy]

[High school]

[Realistic]

"Hehehe." I clicked on High School. Nothing beats a high schooler getting caught up in a harem and imagine the lead being a girl. Maybe the story isn't that bad, perhaps.

[Please select. You may choose multiple options]

[Tsundere]

[Kuudere]

[Yandere]

[Kuugire]

[Dandere]

[Dorodere]

…..

I scrolled down the long list and with a smirk selected all. 

[Please select archetype]

This is good. I selected every single option apart from a few including loli. I will leave it for Excell. I am not into that shit. Perhaps I am a man of culture, I guess.

[Do you want to register your profile on Dreams and Dates]

Hmmm, of course, fucker. I clicked on "I Agree." Option and waited for the game to load. After clicking it, the whole screen turned black. 

[Welcome back, Abhi]

[You are in high school. Your goal is to collect points and use them to increase your likeability]

[You get points by dreaming]

[Good luck with your journey]

[From Crazy]

Hmmm. I gave me fucking chills. The texts were nothing but red smears in the wall. I texted Excell.

Me: Sucker, was that game of horror genre too?

Excell: What are you talking about? Which game?

I surely have to give him some praise. Dude never sleeps. 

Me: The game that you gave me.

Excel: Oh! That's no horror but an RPG. Why the fuck will I give you a horror game?

Me: Wasn't it an eroge????

Excell: Did you smoke or are you high? I never gave you any eroge as far as I can remember. I gotta go, one loli is calling me. Bad dreams…

I closed the phone, did he have amnesia? He doesn't even remember giving it to me.

I forgot that Excell told me it was a female leading game, but the options weren't. My eyes widened as I searched for it on the internet and what I found gave me chills.
