SGC | Chapter 22
by _rinnnieSomething suddenly dropped from f8f753c4d4 the ceiling, appearing right 7f14b6b446 in front of my 27fb63e91b nose. Startled, I scooted 8af52955f7 back, pressing myself be2a2dac01 against the headboard. My heart was pounding ee94e3da3c so hard it felt 788c555606 like it might leap bea5721f52 out of my chest.a1b34ce8bb607af2
Once I calmed be9e4cf515 my racing heart, 2e86bf747d I scolded the e8b1acbfc9 system window.4e98eadd968021f1

[System://Should I knock before appearing? ㅇ0ㅇ]
The system f2dd558863 window shook 7a7f5727e0 side to 2f2e603ca4 side, as 4d71c4cd04 if amused 3be21074b1 by my b0bab21a39 startled reaction. It felt like f34a79e8a4 it was laughing.f07a4903b5481784

Anyway, I had 7858a4cde7 a lot to c153a56d6a discuss with this 79df885263 thing. As I 088c582778 adjusted my d6ff64fccd posture, the 0d5154e91e system window b1bf68e093 floated upright, c3996562f5 as if 8400115509 mimicking me.2861da27a4fa2a86

“You keep saying this is a game. Is the game’s name ‘Love War’?”4b92e6edc395653f

[System://You could say yes and no.]
I let out a hollow laugh at the ambiguous answer. Surely it wasn’t trying to play twenty questions with me now.0ac125621567a046

[System://As you mentioned, the official title of this game is ‘Love War.’ But since Baek Seojoon and Ha Seongrim already reached a happy ending, it’s not exactly that game anymore.]
It was 63e51e1e3f the same 9abd0e6f12 information I 28cd623419 confirmed with 6a6d5539f9 Chae Goya. The timeline 2fb38da468 here was 33132fe8ee after Baek cfe22528cd Seojoon and 695f397d8f Ha Seongrim a6db9abb12 moved to e1b1c07eb4 the‘Abyss’guild.397325a2b3cb4401
[System://With the main player changing, the game reset, so the characters in this world didn’t make a fuss when Kang Baram’s personality changed significantly.]
Ah, no wonder no 6a6215042f one commented on the 31d35f70a2 timid Kang Baram becoming 071c195b04 more lively.1c4f80aa74fe6c17
“Then why did I become the main player? Why am I here?”9a472e7e037dde30

[System://The ‘Kang Baram’ here is a character created by the creator, and there’s a close relationship between the character Kang Baram and you, the main player.]
Creator, huh. It must 080f33e1eb be referring 0b6b7ff857 to my 99ee56d5ce sister. It made sense, but 7da18a29fe it felt a bit 94a3ba074d embarrassing.e5d4f5d592c88e3e

When I didn’t even know the ‘B’ in BL, I used to tease my sister’s work, as siblings do. In retaliation, she named a minor character after me and gave him abilities similar to mine.a7d357f2615053b5

Anyway, as the system window said, there was some connection between this world’s Kang Baram and me.7d39daa741fc5e3b

The lively response made me start to feel uneasy. Since it was a game derived from ‘Love War,’ it couldn’t completely abandon its BL game elements.f4e6e251bc728e67

The system window seemed 308bc845e7 to be becoming more c6da2869c1 human-like. Was it grumbling?b34800edcbafed96
[System://You need to max out the affection levels of the sub gongs!]
At those 4fb0d43639 words, my 495cb35d12 arms resting 5fb24cc838 on my 6ee54450a5 knees went 47dc3d40fe limp, and 04177dd31c I swayed. Regardless, the system window 1d4f84de79 spun around happily and 35190dd82a continued.5e52d67fd1c813a1
[System://Fortunately, not all of them. Due to the nature of the multi-gong, single-soo game, maxing out just one character’s affection level will be recognized as the game’s ending! Isn’t that good news?]
