Chapter 1: 1

Otherworldly Knights Edition

Q: Is it wrong to fall in love with a game heroine?

Everyone has at one time or another been captivated by a manga, anime or video game character.

Since we were born as men in Japan, the country of this lovable pervert and culture, we all have one younger wife.

Dimensionally, though.

As an example, I fell in love with a video game heroine.

Also, impurely, I fell in love with two heroines at the same time.

If I talk to anyone about it, they’ll say I’m an idiot.

They’ll say, ‘Why would you fall in love with someone you can’t touch, you idiot?’

And two people?

They would tell me to wake up from my delusion and look at reality.

I know that.

The one who knows that better than anyone else is not the commentator who, with an obvious look on his face, links anime to reality.

It’s us who understand that there’s nothing we can do about it, even if we’re longing for it.

And yet we did, so we can’t help it.

How many times have I wished I could go to that world?

What would I do if I went there?

But I know it won’t come true.

That’s why I’m going to see them again today, in a world created with an inorganic start-up sound.

Today, this time, I want to save them.

From this shitty scenario.

The two of them.

***

“The winner is the player called Sword!”

I struck a small gut pose.

PN Sword, real name Kenya Mitsurugi, I’m the winner.

Woah!

 

Wow! You won with the God of Thunder?

 

How did you manage to avoid that?

 

As expected of the previous year’s world champ, he’s still got half his HP left.

The online competition for a certain game was being broadcast on a well-known distribution site.

The winner, i.e. the Japanese champion, was decided, and the excitement was so great that over 200,000 spectators were present from Japan alone.

I would like to say that the audience was excited, but what was excited, unfortunately, was the chat room.

Today was an online tournament, so there was no separate venue. It was all done on the internet.

For me, it’s convenient because I don’t have to show my face, but it must be hard for the management.

All complaints should be directed to the infectious virus.

Then the interviews with the winners, begin.

How do you feel?

A woman who looks like an internet idol asks something bland over the internet.

I think she only said “wow” during the whole game, but I guess she doesn’t care about the game.

And even more so to us nerdy gamers.

Her geeky clothes make her look like a princess from anime, and she probably has a boyfriend who’s a yo-Kai.

I was so cynical that such an irony immediately came to mind.

“Yes. It’s been about six years now… I’m very happy because I’ve been playing this game for so long.”

“Six years! That means you’ve been an old player since Season 2 of KOG!”

“Yes, I have been playing this game for about six years now.”

Knight of the Giant, also known as KOG, is a very popular game worldwide.

The reason why it became such a big hit is because it is a perfect VR game and a game that fulfills the dream of every boy’ in the world to ride a robot.

KOG is a game in which you fight by controlling a so-called robot with a special controller and VR equipment.

There are many battle modes, starting with 1 vs 1, then 3 vs 3, and finally Battle Royale with more than 100 players.

Incidentally, the name of this robot, or aircraft, is ‘Knight of the Giant’.

The literal translation is Knight of the Giant.

So everyone calls the aircraft KOG.

It’s called Kog, KOOG, and so on.

“Today was a 1vs1 match to decide the Japanese champion, but will you be playing any other modes, such as 3vs3?”

“No, I prefer to play alone.”

That’s a lie, because I don’t have any friends. If I could, I’d like to form a team of three!

I’m a loner.

Why am I a loner? Because I don’t go to school?

No, I don’t go to school because I’m a loner.

“Is that so…”

“…”

‘…”

Silence flows, and in the chat column are filled with sad letters that tell you to guess, what?

The idol also doesn’t know what to say back, and my heart hurts too. Please quickly change the subject.

“And now, I’m going to end this interview!”

I’m done!

Then I sighed, went offline, and took off my headset.

That’s the end of today’s events. I haven’t talked to a person in a long time.

In front of me is a PC. This is my room and home.

It’s a small rented house, about six tatami mats.

I’ m not that happy about winning for the second time.

I won last year’s competition as well.

I’ve been out of school almost since junior high school and have dedicated my life to this game.

After high school, I would say I gave almost everything I had.

I think I have talent.

I seem to have better reflexes than other people, and if I believe the information on the internet, they say I’m quite good.

His reaction time from recognition to reaction is within 0.1-0.2 seconds.

I tested this with a game that tests reflexes on the internet.

It’s something that people who like to play FPS and other games often do.

So there was talent.

But there was no one to rejoice with.

I get up and open the fridge.

Inside there is only water, eggs, and seasoning. It’ s a lonely fridge.

It’s like living alone.

But not for such a happy reason, like being away from my parents because high school is far away.

My parents are divorced.

They divorced for the common reason that they both love someone else, which is adultery.

They agree and get divorced, but there is a problem.

I was supposed to be the fruit of their love.

But once the love was gone, I was just an obstacle.

I still remember.

They argued loudly that neither of them wanted to take me in.

Did they not think about how the children listening in between them would feel?

The last time I received love from my parents was when I was in primary school?

I still feel I was appreciated then, time is cruel and can change people so easily.

But I also thought it naïve not to hate them completely because of the memories of that time.

The conditions that the two divorcing couples agreed on were to split child-support payments.

And I was given this small room and a child support account.

That was the last present from my parents.

A child abandoned by his parents is bound to follow such a path.

It is no wonder that the boy, who never hears the constant, happy yelling and nagging to go to school, stops going to school.

Well, there are other reasons why he stopped going to school…

So I’m staying at home again today and immersing myself in that world.

“Well then, let’s do it again today.”

After a short break, I start the game.

There is one game that I have been playing for most of my life now.

That is the KOG novel game.

Originally, KOG had a cute heroine but only a setting, and not a story mode.

Yet KOG’s competitive games are.

“Kenya! Do your best!”

“Kyyaaa, Kenya, help me!”

“I love Kenya…”

The heroine’s popularity was so overwhelming because they said things like that during the game.

I easily fell as well, but it couldn’t be helped.

The destructive power of VR heroines is so high.

As if to embody the cries of these otaku’s hearts, a VR novel game was finally created.

You can enjoy the world of KOG with the heroines as if you were really there.

Moreover, the game is so authentic that there are even events where you can move KOG and defeat enemies in the plot.

So it’s a lot of fun, and it’s exciting to be able to talk with the heroines.

That’s what I thought.

***

“I love you, Kenya. …… I love you. Goodbye.”

Heroine died.

“Kaguyaaaaa!!!”

My tears flow at this scene every time.

Even though it’s obvious, tears come out.

Because this heroine is my youth.

And I start up the game again, and by trial and error, I search for a new route.

“I’m sorry, Kenya-kun, …… you live. I loved you, only you…”

This time the other Heroine is dead.

“Reinaaaaah!!!”

And another waifu died under an exclamation that I don’t even know how many times today.

There are two heroines in this work.

And whichever route you choose, the heroine who was not chosen dies.

Come out, the writer of this shit scenario. I’ll kill you.

And it’s supposed to be the beginning of the story. You can’t go on at all. I don’t want to go on with a story where the heroine is dead. I don’t want to proceed.

I’m not going to advance the story in which the heroine died, and I don’t want to.

By cursing the writers & developers, I’d try again and again.

I almost gave up and dropped the controller.

I’m not the type of person who plays games while consulting a strategy book.

However, when I can’t help myself, I at least look it up.

In fact, I have looked into this route, but no one has yet found a route where the two survive.

Maybe there never was one in the first place.

You are reading story When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. at novel35.com

The developers and scenario writers have decided to keep quiet about it, so there’s nothing we can do about it.

“….Do I have to give up, after all? …. hmm?”

Today, I look at the KOG novel game thread to see if there is any new information, being careful to avoid spoilers.

One post caught my eye as I looked while exhaling a sigh.

=========================================

I analyzed the program and found something that looked like a route behind the losing event at the very beginning.

 

I don’t know what it is, but I can’t get to that route by any means, even with a mod.

 

Can someone help me get through that event?

=========================================

“Isn’t that the losing event…”

Kenya recalls an absurd event like 1 vs 100 at the very beginning of the game.

The reaction of the players was cold, and I don’t think anyone could break through that one.

=========================================

I don’t think so… If anyone could get through that, it would be the Japanese champs.

=========================================

You’re not supposed to be able to win in the first place. Even the Japan champs can’t do it.

=========================================

My finger stops when I see that post.

“Should I…… or…”

I felt as if it was being said to me.

But I shake my head and deny it with a dry laugh.

“Haha, that’ impossible, such a shitty event ….”

But then Kenya stares at the controller and VR headset.

What comes to mind is the end of the two-dimensional waifus who he has fallen in love with.

And unconsciously reach for it. *Gulps*

“…But if there’s a harem route with them beyond that…”

Kenya chuckles.

It’s a habit of his, a habit when he tries something difficult.

He laughs only when it is hard.

Never a dominatrix or anything like that, maybe.

I just like to complete missions with a high level of difficulty.

That’s why I hold on to the KOG-specific controller, which is attached to both arms.

What comes to mind is a happy future with the two heroines.

Then I know what I’m going to do.

“Let’s show them! The power of the Japanese champs!”

I go back in time to that event.

I started the event with a lot of energy.

“Wait for me, Kaguya, Reina! I’m coming to save you!”

～Half a day later.

“Impossible, impossible!”

After the 100th challenge, he threw out the controller.

“There’s no way I can win this crap game!”

I let go for a while, and looked up to the heavens.

By nature, even 1 VS 2 is difficult.

Imagine playing 1 VS 2 in a gaming game.

You’d have to have a considerable difference in strength to do it.

That’s 1 VS 100, of course, but only about 1 VS 5 to fight at a time.

No matter how many times you try, you run out of power around the time you beat 10 opponents.

If you’re a normal person, you give up here.

But Kenya grabs the controller again.

“Huh,… it feels like when I was beaten up by a sub in the first rank. But…’

He picks it up again and says he’s going to screw it up.

He says he’ll never do it again, but then he grabs it again in his hand.

It’s like an electronic drug.

It’s an addiction, I know it, but I can’t stop.

Because.

“It’s fun!”

~Two months later.

The time has come.

My beard has grown and I’m no longer looking young enough to be a high schooler.

I’ve tried many times since then.

I analyzed the enemy’s algorithms.

I wrote it down on paper and worked out the strategy many times.

1 vs 100.

An impossible and overwhelming difference in strength, which essentially makes it impossible to even fight.

And yet the only advantage he had was the unlimited right to challenge.

He never gives up, that one thing is his only weapon.

He uses it to challenge again and again, and pulls in the thin thread.

Superhuman reflexes and the manipulation skills he devoted his youth to.

“I can do it! I can do it! With this… 90!”

After defeating the 90th enemy, with 10 remaining.

In the virtual world, Kenya has reached the limit of his concentration.

“Kaguya! You have too many Tsun! Hurry up and dere it!”

91, 92, 93…

“Reina! I love it when cool characters dere! Smile for me!”

94, 95, 96…

“If there is a way for both of us to survive.”

97, 98, 99..

“I’d love to see that!”

100!!!

Enemy character KOG explodes to pieces after defeating the last one.

“Finally ….defeated… Hahaha”

Kenya strikes a gut-punch and laughs.

“It’s been a long time, one thousand? Ten thousand? No, more?”

I feel like I did this every day from morning till night.

A quest that even felt impossible.

But eventually Kenya overcame it, with only his feelings for them

Then, in the VR world, a message appears in front of Kenya riding KOG.

‘Congratulations on a fantastic victory!’

“Congratulations on a fantastic victory…?”

Immediately afterwards, the message changes.

‘NEW route has been released, do you want to try it?’

▶ Yes.

No.

When I saw that, I was so overjoyed.

“Here it comes!”

Without hesitation, I pressed ‘Yes’.

And so the story begins.

The story of a socially awkward high schooler who is just good at games.

Here, his story takes a new route.

The story of a high schooler who could have been a hero if the world had been different.

‘Good Luck!’

With that message, Kenya’s vision went dark.

***

“Hm?”

Immediately afterwards, his blurry vision gradually became clearer.

When he thought it had become brighter, he was in a familiar room.

In other words, I was at home.

“What is it?”

Kenya was at home.

However, there is a sense of discomfort, because it is slightly different from his familiar home.

“Hey, when did I take off the headset? Or rather, it’s not here.”

When he looked around, there was no VR headset.

And on the desk is an unfamiliar envelope.

It is sealed with an unfamiliar mark.

Kenya unconsciously takes it in his hand and opens it.

“Certificate of Enrolment ……2nd Class Asgar Imperial Citizen, Kenya Mitsurugi-dono? What is it? This.”

Immediately afterwards there is a roar like an aircraft.

I open the window and look out to see what’s going on.

There is no familiar Tokyo scenery, but instead a strange, almost military base-like scene.

The scene was incomprehensible, but there was something even more unbelievable there.

“Huh?”

Kenya’s voice comes out unintentionally.

He can’t stop his mouth from gaping at the impossibility of it.

He checks his head again and again, but the headset is not on.

He pinches his cheek, but it hurts.

Then is this real?

Is it a dream? I don’t know.

But I only know what is there.

Ahead of Kenya’s gaze, there is a black giant of about six meters.

That robot that he has ridden so many times.

As its name suggests, it is a knight of the giants, in other words.

“KOG?”

Knight of the Giant.

In other words, ‘Knight of the Giant’ was standing there.

“No way …… what’s going on…”

The world I longed for.

The world I had dreamt of.

The world I longed for, which I knew would never come true.

What if…?

What would you do if you really came to the world you longed for?

What would you do?
