Transmigrating into a role-playing game was cool but things were not that simple for me. the role-playing game I transmigrated in was completely unknown to me. Do you know why? it's because that game was played by my friend, not by me and I don't know a thing about the plot or the characters inside it except about how to obtain the cutest pet in the said game because my friend was an animal lover and he used to brag about the pet that he got and how cute it is to me. the only saving grace is that I have a system with me but it is grumpy when it comes to giving rewards and it has a chunnibyou complex. Currently participating in WPC 244- unexpected gifts so if you like the story, pls give me power stones to help me win. thnx.
