Chapter 1

Void.

As far as I can tell, that's where I am right now, surrounded by nothing. There's no sensation, no thoughts, and I can't remember how I got here. All I remember is going to bed one day and then...nothing. I'm here, wherever here is. The passage of time is impossible to track as well, so I can't even guess how long I was here.

But eventually I feel something, a presence approaching me. Or at least, I think it is. I can feel something from a direction I don't have a reference for and it's slowly getting stronger. The feeling continues to get stronger until it suddenly stops. For a while, nothing changes, but then I feel a burst of heat-

Sensations flood into me. Like a switch has been flipped, I can suddenly see and hear and think again. Though I still don't seem to have a body, and around me was void. Except for right in front of me, where there's a woman in a skimpy pink outfit, pink hair, and a large pair of iridescent wings. She was a fairy, but not just any fairy. I recognized her as Kyu, the Love Fairy.

”Aw hell yeah, I knew I could do it,” Kyu exclaims as she pumps her fist. ”You should be able to hear and see and talk and junk now.”

”Uhh. Hello?” I speak tentatively, unsure of my new capabilities. My voice sounds like it should to me, so with a bit more confidence I decide to ask a question. ”Where am I right now? How did I get here?”

”Good questions,” she replies, nodding her head in what I could only assume she thought was a wise manner. ”For the where, that's easy. You're in the space between realities. There's usually not much out here. I mean, there's not all that many people that can even enter here. So when I saw a soul just floating around in here while I was going to a new world to check out, I decided to come check it out. As for the how…” She shrugs. ”Honestly I was going to ask you that. I don't think I've ever even heard of a soul just wandering around out here.”

”The last thing I remember is going to bed,” I reply while I process everything. First, the multiverse is real. Easy to accept, I was familiar enough with the idea. Second, I had somehow ended up in the space between realities. That was less easy to accept, but there wasn't really much I could do about it, so I just stored that away for now. Third... ”I had no idea Love Fairies travel the multiverse. Or is that just something you can do Kyu?”

Kyu looks surprised. Oh right. She never introduced herself. Oh no wait now she's looking excited why is she-

”Oh man, you're from one of those realities where a bunch of other realities are pieces of fiction right?” How the hell did she guess that- ”You guys make the best clients ever. No hand-holding needed and you get the biggest harems. Well, if you end up in one of those 'fictional' realities anyways. Otherwise you guys can be pretty challenging.”

I see. Well. Alright then. She's daydreaming now. Or maybe remembering? I decide to speak up again. ”I'm not sure about all that, but yeah I do recognize you from a dating sim game I played once.”

My words bring her attention back to me. ”Yeah, that makes sense. And if you know me, you probably know a bunch of others as well.” Her look turns thoughtful before she seems to come to a decision. ”Alright, I'll tell you what. I'm currently between clients, and I think I can help you out, so what say you and me take a multiversal trip and find some chicks to f_u_c_k?”

Of course those are her priorities. Not that I really disagreed. Nor did I have a lot of options. ”Getting out of this void and a harem?” I say, excitement in my voice. ”I'd be an idiot to turn that down. Though if possible, I'd rather not have to play a match-3 game.”

Kyu snorts. ”Is that what you did in the game? Nah, f_u_c_k that. That system is for losers who just need to get laid. It wouldn't even help get you out of this void.” She holds her hands out to me. ”Nah, I'm gonna set you up with something a bit better. Not as optimized for dropping p_a_n_t_i_e_s, but a hell of a lot more flexible, and before long you'll have gotten laid more than that chump did with that bejeweled rip-off.”

Her hands encompass me, which causes me to notice holy shit she's so much bigger than me. I guess a disembodied soul isn't very large. ”Now,” she starts. ”This may feel weird.”

”Weird bad or weird good,” I ask nervously.

”No idea!” was her far too enthusiastic reply. ”Remember, the safe word is 'banana'!” Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click for visiting.

I start to reply but before I can an indescribable jolt runs through me. Was this how it felt to have your soul messed with? I can't say I'm a fan. It's not exactly painful, but it's unnerving. Thankfully the feeling only persists for a few short moments before fading away. I let out a sigh of relief, an act that feels strange when I don't have a body.

Gamer system initialized

Wait, the Gamer system? Oh hell yes, that was leagues better than some puzzle bullshit. ”Kyu, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.”

”Damn straight it is,” she says. ”Now come on, let's get you a body.”

Character Creation initialized

The screen that opens up is large. Very large. This is going to take some time.

...

I don't consider myself a very vain person. My looks are my looks and that was pretty much all the effort I put into thinking about them. But I decide that, presented the opportunity to mould my looks however I want, I might as well put the effort in. Unfortunately, Kyu wanted to make me into her idealized boy toy, and that slowed down the process a lot. But after two hours of back and forth, we finally settle on something we both liked.

Honestly, due to all the compromises, my features are fairly average. My height is only 5'8”. My build is a bit on the slim side but not all that much. I don't have a lot of muscle mass to speak of but Kyu said that was based on my stats anyways so that will change. At least there isn't much fat either. My face is handsome, but somewhat adrogynous leaning. I initially wanted something more manly, but Kyu insisted that adrogynous was cuter and would attract more girls, and this was the compromise.

My hair's pure black. Kyu wanted to change it to white or something, but it's locked in above even her ability to change. She doesn't know why, and neither do I. My hair wasn't black before I ended up here. I wanted to go with silver eyes, because silver is the best eye color, but Kyu is adamant that silver eyes with black hair would be too boring and monochromatic, so my eyes gold colored instead. I have to admit, they contrast well with my hair.

”Ugh, character creation always takes too long,” Kyu complains. ”Come on, let's hurry up and finish up with the game stuff so we can get this show on the road.”

Classes available:

[Warrior][Rogue][Mage]

Hmm. How do I wanna play this? On one hand, Magic. But on the other hand, well, Gamer. Just about any class is going to shoot me up to ridiculous levels of strength, and I'll be able to max out a lot of classes. So really, it comes down to what I think is best for my first class in order to gain strength and survive. Playing with magic was enticing, but mages are a bit too squishy and a bit slow to ramp up until your mana pool and regen get up to snuff. Though that can be mitigated depending on the type of mage.

”What type of Mage classes are available?” I ask Kyu, since she was the one controlling the system.

”Just Mage,” she answers. I blink. What?

”What?”

”Yep, just Mage. Those three classes are all you've got right now. More advanced subclasses are only unlocked once you max out one of those three. Though once you max out one of them, you unlock subclasses for all of them, so you can max out Warrior and then choose a more specialized Warrior, Rogue, or Mage class.”

That's...unfortunate. ”So wait, what is the bog standard Mage class like?” I can guess for the other two, but a generic mage could go a lot of different directions.

She shrugs. ”A little bit of everything really. It's like an introduction to magic and the types of magic there are. Good for gamers who just wanna play with magic without specializing, but doesn't reach the same peaks as any of those specializations. The same is true for the other classes as well, though I guess they don't have as many subclasses. There's only so many ways you can specialize a Rogue.”

While in general I like a jack of all trades route, that's when my life isn't on the line. So while magic was tempting, I'd rather choose something that was specialized.

So Warrior or Rogue. Both offer me early survivability; Warrior in terms of defense and health, and Rogue in terms of stealth. Rogue also offers more utility.

The logical choice is Warrior. You can't go wrong with the classic sword and board. But if I was being honest with myself, it just wasn't appealing. Warrior is just so...boring.

Rogue though. I'm the sort of player who makes a new Skyrim character and they inevitably end up a stealth archer, no matter how they started. Stealth is just too busted and too fun. And even in games without stealth, I always prefer dodging attacks rather than just tanking them. It took more skill and practice, but was a lot more fun. And the utility of a Rogue class would offer me more options than just ”kill things good”, even if it wasn't as much as a mage.

”We'll do Rogue then,” I say.

”Ooh, we can do some panty raids,” Kyu croons with a lecherous grin as I watch the Rogue option be selected on the menu. ”Or better yet, we can steal them directly off of girls. That would be pretty hot.”

”I thought you were more about seducing girls than stealing their p_a_n_t_i_e_s?”

”I'm a girl of many interests,” she smugly replies with a hand on her c_h_e_s_t.

Before I could reply to that, I'm distracted by the appearance of a window in front of me.
