Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Lady Hikikomori

"Uwah!" A woman groaned, stretching her neck as she lazily leaned back on her tall chair, legs positioned on the armrest comfily.

A woman, Gu Jianyue is, I should say, /was/* a professional gamer, and a hikikomori at that. Spending her time lazing around, otherwise, roleplaying with her friends on an app called [Second Life] as a popular player called, [Gu Jianyue], otherwise known as [Goddess].

She was envied and courted everyday as she played in a historical timeline, having a good eye for beauties she discerned the rights and the wrongs of her character easily and rose up to become a virtually known player.

"Ah! Goddess marry me!" Men playing that game would seek her out and court her with millions of gifts showered with the utmost care, gifts ranging to ancient to new, strong and weak, she had all of the men hooked with her beauty and skills.

Unfortunately though, as some of the married and engaged men courted her, some of their fiancées or wife's would be enveloped in jealousy and anger, completely blinded by pure hatred for Gu Jianyue,

"Slut, go to hell!" Women would shout loudly and throw their weapons, yet Gu Jianyue would skillfully dodge them without hesitation of replying, "Thank you!" Gu Jianyue smiled, her pearly whites shone in the sunlight, her cherry-red lips moist and shiny.

"Hah? For what?" A woman called out, stopping all the throwing immediately, 'Bingo! Looks like that's their boss.. oho? She's engaged to the cutie Ye Lilong!' She pulled out a beautiful ring from her star spacial purse that was embedded beautiful star-shaped gems.

"This was from your lovely fiancée! He openly courted me, it was s~o romantic!" Gu Jianyue tossed the ring from hand-to-hand until she put it back in her purse, "You b*tch!" The lady screamed and stepped out in-front of the other ladies.

"I know right! Put your husband on a leash my gosh!" Jianyue rolled her eyes as she pointed at the figure behind the pole behind the crowd of ladies, "Lilong?!" The lady turned around, shocked at what she saw-

Her fiancée was actually stalking Gu Jianyue!!!

"Li-Lilong how could you do this do me!?" The lady pushed and shoved through the crowd, opening a tight space for her to cross the sea of players to her fiancée.

"W~ow!" Gu Jianyue sat, legs-crossed in-front of her computer screen viewing the intense feud between the lady and her fiancée, but after a few hours the feud ended up in them annulling their engagement, 'Too bad there was no PK• involved.'

. + Later That Night + .

"Gu.. Gu Jianyue! This is all your fault!" The lady slammed the door open to Jianyue's one-room apt. and held the knife intimidatingly in the sky, "Er-" Gu Jianyue stumbled on her words, unable to speak or scream in fear.

"..With you gone, this world will be a better place," The lady let off a menacing vibe, piercing Gu Jianyue's heart, 'If only.. I wasn't born here.....,' "OH SH*T" Jianyue flipped herself off the bed she was on, falling into the mad void.

"UWAH!" She let out a high-pitched screech in fear of falling, 'I had already died once! Why again!?' She screamed internally.

「 n ot on m y wa tc h.」 A robotic voice called out from the depths of the void, "Ehh!?" Jianyue was more in shock than in fear by now, not paying attention to anything else than the sudden voice, 「A h, I a m S S- 01 9 38 6 N. Y o ur ne w an d co n ve nt i en t sy s te m. ٩(•‿• )۶.

"..Isn't that something only supposed to happen in novels?" Gu Jianyue scratched her head, "Oh we-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Aish, how could one forget all when thinking about one? (COUGH COUGH, RiVALS)

* the /slashes/ are meant to emphasize a word : "Are you /really/ going to marry /that/?"
