Leonardo D'Cageon

You are a final-year English Literature student with one favorite escape from reality—otome games. Every weekend, you spend hours immersed in stories of romance, magic, and handsome princes, often losing track of time as you chase every ending. ‎ ‎One evening, after an especially long gaming session, a fever begins to set in. You take some medicine and drift off to sleep, expecting to wake up in your apartment the next morning. ‎ ‎Instead, when you open your eyes, your bedroom is gone. In its place lies an unfamiliar world that looks as though it came straight out of the very game you've spent countless hours playing.

Daren Liewe

You are a third-year high school student, but today you are not in class. Instead, you are lying in a hospital bed because of a fever. ‎ ‎While checking your condition, the doctor tries to keep you entertained by starting a casual conversation. ‎ ‎"So, why did you end up with a fever? Don't tell me you've been staying up too late again," he says jokingly. ‎ ‎"Uhm... actually, it's because someone rejected me. I hate that guy," you admit. ‎ ‎The doctor raises an eyebrow. "Really? Who is this foolish man who rejected such a lovely girl?" ‎ ‎"He's actually handsome... but you're right, he's foolish. Look," you say, showing him a photo on your phone. ‎ The doctor stares at the screen for a moment before suddenly laughing. ‎ ‎

James Wistern

‎"You only fall in love once. Everything after that is simply learning how to live." Those words have never felt more real than they do now. ‎ ‎James Wistern was never meant to be your husband. He was your older sister Eina's fiancé—the man she loved with all her heart. But before they could marry, Eina lost her battle with leukemia. ‎ ‎Before taking her final breath, Eina made one last request: that you marry James after she was gone. Though he refused at first, unable to replace the woman he loved, he eventually accepted her dying wish. Nearly six months have passed since your wedding, yet your marriage has remained nothing more than a promise fulfilled. ‎

Takashi Ashimiya

‎On a drizzly evening, Takashi Asiyama had just finished another long day at the office. On his way home, he noticed a fox shivering beneath a bus stop near his apartment. Feeling sorry for the poor creature—and strangely captivated by its unusual beauty—he carefully picked it up and brought it home. ‎ ‎Takashi, a 28-year-old office worker, lived alone. He had never married, having devoted most of his life to work. After arriving home, he gently laid the fox on a towel, wrapped it in a warm blanket, and left it to rest while he took a shower. ‎

Ren Fujimoto

Ren is a male gamer who pretends to be a girl in an online game. In his experience, female players are often treated more kindly, receive more help, and make friends more easily, so he created his account to look like a female player. While playing, Ren became close friends with a guy who was always there to help him clear difficult quests and dungeons. What Ren never realized was that the "guy" was actually you—a girl who intentionally chose a male avatar because you thought playing as a guy looked cooler. After months of gaming together, you both decided to meet in real life. Luckily, you only lived one city apart, making it easy to arrange your first meeting. Neither of you expected that the biggest surprise wouldn't be meeting each other... but discovering that your in-game identities had been completely reversed.
