I Became The Main Character’s First Love in The Game

Chapter 1 – Waaah…(Life is fucking shit)

I calmly assessed my current state.

A hanbok with a skirt, exposed lower body, a childish voice but feminine enough to identify my gender.

‘Waaah….’ (Am I a girl?)

Shit shit shit shit shit.

My neo-armstrong cyclone jet armstrong cannon, or ‘little buddy’ for short, which I never got to use in my 20 years of life and was my closest companion, has disappeared.

‘Waaah.. (Little buddy….)’

-Murmuring sounds.

With all these people, food, and the jeogori I’m wearing, there aren’t many things I can determine, but one thing is certain:

A first birthday celebration.

I don’t know where Gaia has thrown me, but I’m more dumbfounded than angry.

Gaia clearly used the phrase that this would be my happiest life. And she said, ‘Love you, pretty one.’ I definitely heard it.

‘Was this genre supposed to be yuri?’

Why am I excluding male leads? Do you think I, not even a woman, would obsess over, cling to, and blush at a man? I’m not the protagonist of some Nopia TS male lead novel.

And I really don’t understand what that ‘pretty love’ comment meant.

While I was lost in my thoughts, there was a boy with blonde hair and green eyes next to me.

‘This child seems very familiar.’

‘Now! It’s time for the main event, the doljabi ceremony!’

Before I could figure out who the child next to me was, a man who looked like an MC started shouting about the first birthday celebration.

‘Waaah…’ (So noisy)

Two women, presumably the parents of me and the boy, picked us up and carried us to a box with objects.

‘Huh? Wait… what is this now.’

There was only one reason for my confusion.

The nameplate of the boy that became visible as we were carried:

[Han Sihyun]

That’s the name of the protagonist from the game I used to play, Lord of Academy, or LOA for short.

And this is the world inside that game.

The reason I’m certain is the boy’s eyes.

Those green eyes that couldn’t possibly belong to a Korean, and that distinctly blonde hair.

‘I just remembered everything.’

He looks exactly like the protagonist’s baby form shown in the game illustrations.

‘What kind of web novel scenario is this….’

‘Let me reconsider this again.’

I’ve become a girl, and now I’m the dead childhood friend of LOA’s protagonist.

‘Gaia clearly told me she would give me a happy life.’

‘Did that bitch scam me?’

This has become quite fucked up.

‘Gaia, that bitch, she definitely did this because I mentioned incest.’

‘Waaah…(Life is fucking shit)’

The one fortunate thing was that the mana in this body was greater than the total amount of mana I had during my active days.

‘But life is shitty.’

‘I struggled so much to earn the title of S-class hero, but this body was just naturally blessed.’

‘And on top of that, she has the same ice powers as me.’

Her having the same ice powers as me meant that this child could have become an incredible hero….

‘But when was this body supposed to die…’

I reflected on the past 10 years of ROOA.

And then I had a thought.

Among the many endings, there was the single ending.

In ROOA, entering a secret code gives the protagonist a special ability, which is a mild pheromone.

I don’t know why such an ability exists in a hero academy game, but ROOA satisfied all gamers’ desires.

For those who play adult games, it offered service scenes; for RPG users, growth; for story-focused users, an amazing story; and for otaku, a dating sim.

And the single ending is an extremely difficult ending that can only be cleared by never interacting with or speaking to any of the heroines.

Why is it extremely difficult? Because among the heroines, there’s a saint, a heroine who gives you items that make the story easy to clear, and a heroine without whom you’d have to spend 2 hours beating the final boss that would otherwise take 20 minutes. Without these essential characters, all users say the single ending is the most brutal. Additionally, the final boss’s damage increases over time, so after an hour, you have to dodge all attacks.

After clearing it with such difficulty, the ending continues with the protagonist’s monologue.

After killing the final boss, the protagonist holds a photo and cries while saying:

[I finally kept my promise]

[It’s thanks to you… without you, I wouldn’t be here now…]

[I love you… no, I loved you… Seolhwa..]

When those lines end, several newspaper articles suddenly appear.

Among them is a list of victims from a bank terrorist attack, and the name of the child the protagonist mentioned, Seolhwa, is among them.

‘And that Seolhwa is now me…’

Now I need to survive…

‘Until then, I need to build my strength.’

Honestly, the character is already overpowered as designed by the creator, but the software must have been lacking.

But what if the strongest hardware and software are combined?

I would be invincible….

As I was thinking, a young couple who appeared to be my parents started urging me to choose quickly.

‘Seolhwa~ Choose quickly~’

Words full of love and affection.

Words I never heard in my previous life…

‘What’s the point of thinking about that now….’

‘Sigh…waaah.’

‘But what should I choose…’

I keep hesitating because I don’t know what’s good to grab at a doljabi ceremony…

Money seems too materialistic, I don’t need a stethoscope, and I’m not good with studying so the pencil is out.

So I just grabbed the nicely dried jujube.

When I grabbed the jujube, the adults around suddenly became extremely happy.

‘What, did I succeed at this gacha?’

‘Hehe.’

‘So cute!!!!!!’

A woman who appears to be Seolhwa’s mother is taking pictures of me with her phone, making clicking sounds continuously.

‘No… everything here is just a success.’

These people will care about whatever I choose.

This cute body I have now would probably be good for them.

‘Seolhwa, come to mommy!!’

The woman picked me up and started holding me gently.

‘Not bad…’

How long has it been since I was held so sincerely… No, I could say this is almost the first time.

‘I want to feel this sensation for a long time…’

‘Our Seolhwa looks happy?’

The woman lifted me high and smiled at me.

‘Our Seolhwa will live with mommy and daddy for a very long time.’

‘Waa…’ (Yes)

Half a year has passed since the first birthday party.

I’ve become accustomed to calling them mom and dad, and though my speech is still awkward, I can speak a little bit now.

And Han Sihyeon comes to visit every day too.

‘Mommy, who’s coming today?’

‘Sorry, Seolhwa… but Sihyeon’s family is coming, so it’ll be fine.’

‘I know.’

‘Instead, mommy will give you two chocolate biscuits today.’

‘Mommy, you’re the best!’

You ask if I don’t get reality checks when I call her mommy in this awkward speech?

I’ve already been conquered by chocolate biscuits. With those, reality checks never come.

I started munching on the chocolate biscuits that mom gave me, amazed at humans’ ability to adapt.

‘Mommy, next time let’s definitely go out.’

‘Sure… our cute daughter.’

Mom stroked me, hugged me, nuzzled me, did everything she wanted to do, and then left the house.

Right then, I saw auntie coming in holding Sihyeon.

‘Auntie, you’re here?’

‘Yes, Seolhwa.’

Auntie crouched down, holding Sihyeon in one hand while stroking me with the other.

‘But auntie, don’t you work?’

‘Auntie is taking a break right now~.’

‘Are you on maternity leave?’

‘Uh…yes…’

‘Then… are you pregnant?’

‘Ugh….’

‘Khuhuhu.’

‘Our Seolhwa is very smart, isn’t she?’

‘This is just basic…’

‘Ahaha…’

‘Ah! Auntie, choco biscuit.’

‘Hiyeon said not to give you that.’

I looked at my aunt with the most desperate eyes in the world.

‘Aun~tie~.’

‘Ah…alright.’

As my aunt reached for the biscuit container.

-Katalk!

‘Wait a moment.’

[Don’t give Seolhwa biscuits today~]

[I know there are 23 biscuits]

‘Seolhwa, I’m sorry, Hiyeon said not to give you any.’

‘Hmph….’

‘Sorry…’

Disappointed, I went to Sihyeon.

‘Sihyeon.’

‘What?’

‘Let’s play together.’

‘Let’s do that.’

I took Sihyeon out to the yard.

‘But at this level, you’re mentally like a 2-year-old.’

‘Sihyeon, Sihyeon, today I’ll show you snow again.’

‘I know.’

We have our own secret.

It’s that I can use mana and I’m already able to use ice.

‘The downside is that I’m still too young, so if I use it excessively, I cough up blood or get severely sick?’

I have a large mana pool, but my body is still a baby’s. A body that struggles to withstand large amounts of mana.

That’s why I use the maximum daily amount.

That way my mana pool grows even more.

‘Waaang, it’s snow.’

I processed ice to sprinkle snow for Sihyeon.

While Sihyeon played with the snow, I started to worry.

‘But what is the gift that Gaia prepared…’

I became a girl, but my mana pool is large.

This isn’t equivalent exchange. It’s proportional.

‘Even if my mana pool is large, what grows is just my heart.’

I absolutely have no intention, not even the slightest bit, of acting coy with men just because I became a woman.

‘I’m not even gay.’

I laughed and declared that I would absolutely never become a bottom.

‘Hehehehe….’

‘Why are you laughing, Seolhwa?’

‘Just because I feel good.’

‘I feel good when I’m with Seolhwa too!’

‘It’s not exactly that I feel good being with you, but still, what’s good is good.’

‘Kids, let’s eat!’

‘Okay.’

We went home at aunt’s call to eat.

‘Sihyeon, let’s eat without being picky today~.’

‘I hate veggies, I hate them.’

‘Then Seolhwa will hate Sihyeon~.’

‘Huh…. Seolhwa, is that true?’

When I looked at my aunt, she winked and mouthed for me to play along.

Excuse me. I’m only 2 years old now.

‘Be grateful that the person inside is 20 years old.’

I reluctantly went along with my aunt.

‘Yeah.’

‘Then I won’t be picky.’

Is your reason for living me?

My aunt whispered softly in my ear.

‘Thank you, Seolhwa.’

‘Yes.’

My aunt gave me an extra piece of ham where Sihyeon couldn’t see.

‘Thank you very much.’

‘That’s right, our good Seolhwa.’

I put a piece of ham in my mouth and started chewing.

‘Mmm~ Ham after a long time is truly the best.’

I felt like I was in heaven as I ate the salty ham with rice.

‘Hehe…’

That’s how I’ll remember today.

I didn’t realize that the flag I raised today would turn me into a whimpering bitch.
