Chapter 2 THE WELCOMING

"Host, welcome!" A tiny, squeaking voice hailed Jana closer. Her eyebrows knitted yet still she could not guess the gender of the one who's speaking. It's still pitch black. "Host, saving yourself in the mission may be the top priority but please be reminded that the cool V+ points are the ones needed to buy items and pills that will help you advance!"

Jana felt a giant headache looming over. Rubbing her forehead, she tried to ask, "Where am I?"

"Host?" The voice chuckled before whining. "Host was not listening to me awhile ago, did you? This trusted Ai is getting tired of explaining it!"

'Trusted Ai?' Jana shook her head. She might have fallen asleep in the middle of class. When Aunt Sera got a sniff about this, she's a dead meat! 'Nope, I don't trust you!'

"Host, welcome to Pathfinder's Transmigration Routine of Falling in Love! This game will be the most fantastic one you'd ever played."

A booming sound coming from Jana's back came. It was like the circus has come to visit.

"I am Vivien, your Ai. I will assist you in every mission. The instances ranges from Easy, Hard, Hell Mode and Devastation. Points are rewarded according to the criterion you'll be given five minutes from now. Bear in mind that saving yourself is a must but if you can stop the protagonist from falling in love with their leading partners-you will receive the bonus V+ points."

Jana blinked hard. "What are you talking about? Let me see!" Pinching herself, she grunted when pain seared in her arms. "W-What?"

"Host, you installed the game which means you intended to play it. The center will open as soon as you passed the instance number three. Pathfinders offers the players comfortable housing and affordable prices for the items to pass each levels. Side missions can also earn you extra points when successfully done."

Numbers fly inside Jana's head. Gently sniffing, wishing to wake herself up, she nodded. "Game! Game!"

"Player Jana, please press the okay button."

'Okay! Okay!' Jana shrieked inside, 'Just let me wake up.'

"Player Jana, welcome to the Pathfinder's Transmigration Routine of Falling in Love. Your status is currently the villain. Save yourself-reality is just within your grasp." Vivien, the Ai, greeted, "May the moon spare you of his wrath and deliver you to the warmth!"

Jana screamed when the floor collapsed. 'That was not a good attempt on being poetic!' Her skirt flew upwards, and the chilling wind crawled on her legs. Goosebumps ran over her skin. Nausea cramped her stomach. After seeing a hologram pop up in front her with words she could not fully comprehend, she passed out.

"Pathfinder's Transmigration Routine of Falling in Love"

The game has a funny text welcoming people in great optimism. Many will disdain the glaring colors and blinding designs but for the creators of this game, nothing is more beautiful as the one they have painstakingly created.

At first, they had decided to lure people in by giving them the false idea of virtual relationship with a cartoon character dressed in hipster jeans and loose white shirt. The survey they had done granted them a confusing conclusion: teenage girls tend to like men who were in slovenly clothing. Holes in jeans, crumpled shirt type. The developers were aghast, but if the consumers like it best then they paid it no judgement three days after knowing. They thought that the idea was best; a jackpot.

They had been very wrong.

After researching and testing, they had stopped and discovered a creative idea.

People are more realistic these days. They don't want to end up happily knotted-they want mistresses, complicated threesomes and cheating instead. If not, then maybe the paper containing the percentages of married people applying for divorce they had accumulated throughout the years is wrong.

They want the thrill and angst before settling down! The person behind the game sighed in relief at last then called in several hundreds of his paid confidante.

Now that the new designers have been hired, there shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Another mistake on their side.

In my opinion as a former player, the game should've just be deleted at once.
