How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

How did I turn my victim into a powerful and arrogant heroine? Author: Teacher Yuan

I've been reborn as a background character in a game, and my childhood friend is the protagonist's love interest—that's fine, the problem is this is a pure hentai RPG with a NTR (Netorare) theme. The protagonist is guaranteed to become a NTR character on the first playthrough! I need enough resources for a pure love route on my second playthrough, but as a player on my twentieth playthrough and a staunch advocate of pure love, I don't want to be a NTR character for even a second! To reach the pure love ending on my first playthrough, I must deceive the world...

1. Long, straight black hair is actually me.

Granada, 2021 (Gregorian calendar).

April 7th, a sunny day full of spring.

National Explorers College – Men's restroom on the 3rd floor of Building A.

"Too late! Considering the time travel period, it's too late to realize this now..."

Sirocco washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror with resentment.

Her black hair shimmered like satin, her face was pure and lovely, and her pitiful, watery eyes had the color of black agate, giving people a sense of abyssal silence and coldness.

But, it's a man.

I'm so sorry, he may seem cute and delicate, but he is definitely a man!

This is not him.

To be precise, it means becoming a different person.

"Sirocco Darth Vader".

Memories fully returned, a vast amount of information churning in my mind, and I couldn't help but utter my own name.

"As a character who travels through time, isn't that a bit too much?"

Sirocco is very familiar with this character.

It was one of the characters in a game he had previously completed.

Commoner, simp, insisting the female character is male, long black hair, childhood friend, Hideyoshi... He has all these labels, but he's not the protagonist.

Instead, he's just a background extra, a tool for the protagonist to show off!

A game world called "Kas of the Dungeon".

"But thankfully, I'm not the main character..."

Because this game is a genuine Japanese modern fantasy NTR eroge!

The first playthrough inevitably involves NTR (Netorare) content, and there's no way to avoid it! Only in the second playthrough and beyond is there a slight chance of going for a pure love story!

Losing even one game is unacceptable! No matter how good your lineup is or how strong your characters are, unless it's a scripted death, losing means you'll definitely get NTR'd!

To put it simply, it takes the MMORPG formula and applies it to a modern world. Common knowledge and terminology from games, such as level, debuffs for pulling monsters, and death penalties, are also common knowledge in this world.

The most important level is Lv; the higher the level, the more you can do. You can freely fight against the fantastical creatures in dungeons—dragons, demons, angels, elves, etc.—once your Lv is high enough.

The lower the level? Sorry, then you're more likely to get beaten up. In this world, things like "Slime vs. JK" are commonplace.

Sirocco was a transmigrator who entered this world, which was extremely unfriendly to warriors of pure love.

Wait, what does NTR have to do with Sirocco? In the modern worldview, if I stay at home and don't contact anyone, then NTR can't hurt me, right?

Haha, it's too late, because Sirocco is the female lead's childhood friend!

Or is she the stalker of the female lead, Brid Talos?

His adorable face is entirely thanks to the game's incredibly talented artist who spared him the stereotypical image of a slovenly, greasy, and filthy otaku.

After all, it's a game world, so it's normal for everyone to be handsome men and beautiful women! Who's going to admire a character if their character art isn't good?

He should say that he played the game because of the exquisite, art-like CGs. When he encountered the first art-like "service" CG without consulting a guide, he, as a pure love warrior, was so tormented that he couldn't sleep all night.

"To be honest, in the original storyline, Sirocco was a disgusting stalker."

According to the game's description: "He collects Brid's stockings, and he rummages through the trash she throws away, finding the usable parts and polishing them carefully."

Even when Sirocco got into school, it was because he was chasing after Brid...

In later storylines, Sirocco was stopped by the protagonist when he harassed Brid, and after a duel, he ended up being expelled from school... Outside of the game, Sirocco's fanfiction is full of hardcore BL (Boys' Love) stories.

Useless background figures, like the female protagonist's classmates, neighbors, or acquaintances—nothing more...

"In other words, my actions can be very covert, which should be one of my few advantages?"

Finding advantages in unfavorable conditions is Shilock's optimistic instinct.

The original owner had no role as the main character in the game. Even if she did nothing, Brid and the main character would still fall in love and party every night at the hotel marked with a question mark.

You ask him if he's happy.

Nonsense! Of course I'm happy.

The original owner of this body was Bridgman's stalker, but he, the transmigrator, was not.

A steadfast warrior of pure love.

He wholeheartedly approves of two people who are in love being together!

The problem is—"It's too late to remember who you are now."

A quick glance at the LED light in the lower right corner of the mirror shows the time and weather—9:21

"There are only 50 minutes left. How can this weak body possibly win against the blond guy with all his muscles?"

How much Sirocco hated himself for not having Towa.

Knowing full well what Brid would face, he was powerless to help her.

50 minute later.

A few thugs from Class C would come to Class F under the pretext of selecting teammates.

They claim to be selecting people, but in reality, they only pick pretty girls.

The girl they will choose is Brid Talos.

If they cannot be stopped, Brid will be taken away by them.

Then...the humiliation scene that Sirocco absolutely does not want to see will unfold.

If he had woken up earlier, he would have driven out all those minotaurs, blondies, and villainous bosses 10 years earlier.

Veiled Minotaur, to recreate the glory of pure love, it is our inescapable duty.

Warriors of pure love have no reason to retreat!

The tragedy was less than an hour away, and I had to do something.

The sheer volume of CG alone can keep me up all night; if it were to become a reality, simply hearing about it and imagining the scene would surely be a lifelong nightmare...

"Wait, who said this has to be the first playthrough?"

What if this is the second or third playthrough?

The protagonist of the first playthrough is the typical gentle male lead in a romantic comedy, a master who can fall into the absolute territory even when he's just falling.

Unfortunately, this is minotaur butter, where strength reigns supreme; without power, one can only be a victim.

In the first playthrough, the protagonist is too weak (a malicious act by the writers) and can't do anything to prevent the tragedy from happening.

The second playthrough is different. With open options, you can acquire resources in advance, make various preparations, and then go all out to dress up, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.

How can you force yourself to complete a full playthrough without changing the world?

"No."

If the game becomes reality, will we really be able to start a new playthrough? It's hard to say.

It's in progress right now; there's no save file and it can't be restarted.

If you're going to go somewhere, go for the pure love story.

The first step is to get through this first event.

Sirocco is no match for her in terms of strength, has no family background, doesn't sense any ancient power emanating from her, and can't receive the mysterious beauty's energy...

"All that remains is the power of capital."

Take out your phone, tap the Line app icon, and check your balance.

None of their three-digit savings accounts exceeded 5.

The sky collapse begins.

"Tsk, that's a bit difficult."

Is it because the game has become the real world? Right now, the original owner's parents are ordinary wage earners, and they are struggling to make ends meet.

"Gan, since I'm just background scenery anyway, why not let me transmigrate into a company employee? This body has nothing but cuteness! Am I supposed to sell my ass?"

Sirocco pondered what could be done to avoid or survive the tragedy.

Think about it, who can help me? The information from the 20th playthrough might offer some special insights...

“Beren Gvina…”

A nostalgic name surfaced in his mind, and a slight smile curved the corners of Sirocco's lips.
