Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

So.

Do you agree?

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

Confessing to my first love, once again. With time rewinding, I can redo the youth of that summer!... more>>

When I woke up, I had returned to my junior high school self─.
My job was going nowhere, I had no money, and though I was popular with women, I'd become a worthless adult who had given up on my dreams. I blamed everything on my life during junior high school, and in particular, on her—Akimiya Hazumi, my first love. Just when I was grumbling about this, I was involved in an accident and found myself time-leaping back to my junior high school days. Back then, I was a nondescript mob character, but now I had groomed my appearance and unleashed my adult social skills. Before I knew it, I was successfully reliving my ideal youth! Using my memories from the past, I managed to save the beautiful gal, Chigasaki, on my way to school, and cleared the troubles among the popular boys and girls in my class.

All that was left was to uncover and change the truth behind the incident from "that summer" when the sunflowers were in full bloom—an incident involving Akimiya Hazumi, the root cause of the downfall in my life─. <<less

A strange school trip keeps getting repeated.... more>>

“Please Baek Seon-woo, don’t get hurt, or I might really go crazy.”
“Ga-jun… You should not say stuffs like this to a friend.”
“This is because you and I are not friends.”

Ga-jun thought, whether Seon-woo heard or not, holding his breath. He has a problem now… If he was a friend who had to die in front of his eyes again and again, and had to return every time, this kind of friendship had to disappear.

Now, the terrifying thing wasn’t the training centre. He had become uninterested in encountering monsters or seeing someone else bleeding out in front of his eyes.

“The most important thing to me is that you don’t endanger yourself.”

The obsessive obsession with Baek Seon-woo’s safety.

It was the beginning of our 11th school trip. <<less
