She silently awaits her opportunity to strike and bring down the entire Federation regime. *** IMPORTANT NOTICE: This novel does have a system-power, however it comes a bit later in the chapters (but not that late don't worry) because the beginning is mostly story builiding and character development. This is a primarily action/fantasy novel. However, I’ll be dabbling into other genres like mystery and thriller throughout. Please note the mc is not OP out of the gate, but it is a constant progress. There will not be 24/7 action. There are slower chapters that just focus on story building. (If you are looking for a similar theme but action-heavy please check out my other novel called Danger Outside). I highly recommend if you are looking for a novel that focuses on both storybuilding and quality character developments. I will be uploading 1 chapter every week on Sunday mornings EST time.

The concept of essence grapples with the notion of particularity. When we focus on an individual, we are pointing out the idiosyncracy of their essential nature. Therefore, in this narrative, it all commences with a simple gift from a friend—a Dating Game from a renowned Japanese company. On Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes as he is murdered. But as he closes his eyes, a blinding flash of light transports him to an unknown location. Upon awakening, disorientation reigns as he gazes upon a different room through unfamiliar eyes. His reflection, once a mirror to his former self, reveals a startling revelation: "W-What is this? This person I see in the mirror, who is he?" Here, the juxtaposition of the insignificance of his old self and the allure of his new identity serves as a symbolic crossroads. It plunges his psyche in a conventional understanding of self-sufficiency and the authentic self. Thus, he embraces the name Nakamura Takumi, becoming the very embodiment of the dating game's protagonist. [Note: This is the same history on Wattpad (in spanish) and on HoneyFeed (But it's abandoned), I'm the same guy. Also, the illustrations are from an AI, so, There's gonna be errors!] [It should be noted that there will be a few characters/dialogues in Japanese, but with the translation/meaning obviously]
