Chapter 1

We are forced to make a choice.

No. If you know the storyline, there's no choice here, and the event starts without any questions asked.

"Hey... you don't have to hold back, okay...?"

Ah, I don't know how many times I've watched it.

Even after I was reborn, I would have this dream many times, and when I woke up in the morning, my panties would be in a terrible state.

My body is so healthy that even if I do 'it' at night, it's fully charged by morning.

No, that doesn't matter.

Anyway, there's something else I need to think about.

Right now, an incredible meal has been placed in front of me.

"...Or, if you're with an older childhood friend... you don't get excited after all?"

Saying this, she lowered her gaze anxiously and stretched her white fingers out towards my erect crotch.

Maybe it's impossible to think about it after all.

"……wait a minute."

When I tried to be careful not to make my voice high-pitched, my voice ended up sounding lower than I intended.

When she shuddered, her large, beautiful breasts, which asserted their overwhelming presence through the thin fabric, swayed gently.

...I want to touch them. From the front, from behind, gently wrap my arms around those beautiful breasts. Grab them. Squeeze them.

When I rub that fabric down, her pink nipples pointing upwards become visible, and I pinch them tightly. I want to see my childhood friend Ruri-chan writhing in pleasure in real life.

I want to make her moan with a different, more feminine expression than usual and shove it into her wet, melted pussy.

My brain feels like it's going to boil. Because I know what's going to happen next.

Because I've seen this scene countless times on the screen.

Fleuriverge, my older childhood friend, gently guides me step by step, helping me lose my virginity.

-- This is the erotic tutorial scene that all protagonist players have to go through.

My sense of self began to emerge at the age of three.

As soon as I became aware of things, I realized that I had been reincarnated.

After all, it just occurred to me while I was relieving myself.

"Why do I have a penis?"

--That's right. I must have lived as a woman in my previous life.

I have almost no memories of my previous life, and I can't even remember my name.

Still, the face of my current self, Reiya, looked clearly familiar.

An incredibly handsome man created from a stunning character design by a divine artist. He has silver-white hair and golden eyes, but when he gets excited, his eyes turn blood red.

Possessing extraordinary latent magical powers, he grows tall with long limbs and supple, slimming muscles that allow him to use any weapon with ease, making him a flawless superhero.

I'm Reiya Richke, the main character player of the online simulation RPG "Flower of Histoire" That's who I am now.

I think in my past life I was an avid player of "Flower of Histoire."

After I realized I'd been reincarnated, I started to feel a sense of déjà vu at the edges of the world.

For example, I thought that if I brewed a tea from a plant that looked like nothing more than a weed growing by the roadside and drank it, my stamina would increase. Or that that pebble I found nearby was actually a magic stone. Or that that monster's weak spot was there, so with my current abilities I could easily defeat it.

I now understand it all so clearly.

I think this is something that could be called a cheat ability, but no matter how much I train myself, it's pointless. Knowing the future that awaits me, it honestly doesn't make much sense. In fact, if I train too much, it could even lead to the worst possible outcome later on.

Still, if I was born as "Reiya Richke," I had no choice but to somehow survive.

First, the basics of this world.

Humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, and many other races live their daily lives together, sharing territory and coexisting, if not necessarily getting along well as neighbors.

That peace is threatened by the existence of the Demons.

The Demons are a cruel race who invade at whim, plunder according to their desires, and commit ruthless slaughter, treating everyone except themselves as little more than insects. Though they may be few in number, each one possesses overwhelming power.

Demons speak the same language as humans, and can later take on a human form to mimic their appearance. So, while they may not appear to be significantly different from humans in appearance, they are quite adept at controlling magic, have strong vitality, and are incredibly long-lived.

In contrast, humans are weak and very fragile.

Loss is a common occurrence in "Flower of Histoire."

If you die in battle, you die, the end.

There are ways to recover injuries, but no way to revive.

There is no auto-save and no reset, so no matter how much of a favorite character you are, they will not come back to life if they die.

And it's the same for the player character, Reiya.

If you die, it's over. If you want to play Flower of Histoire again, you'll have to start from scratch.

This element is probably one of the main reasons why it wasn't popular, but on the other hand, it is also the element that gave birth to a small number of passionate fans.

That's why I, as a player, is cautious with every action, and frantically levels up before going into battle.

Because I don't want to die. Because death is the end.

But it's a simulation game aimed at hardcore gamers, and the game isn't just free. It can't continue without users willing to spend money.

"Flower of Histoire" was originally a doujin game made by a solo indie group. The in-game purchases were a conscientious design, allowing players to buy the time and effort required for character development.

My past life self started playing in the closed beta, a crowdfunding bonus during development. Beautiful character design and sophisticated 2D animation. A meticulous, strategic battle system, and sandbox elements for painstaking character development. The story is oppressive, living up to the tagline, "There is no happy ending beyond this story, Histoire." And above all, I remember becoming addicted to the aforementioned "it's over when you die" system, which I mentioned earlier, as it made me feel a sense of "life."

After going through the open beta and the official launch, I had been playing carefully and steadily without ever getting a game over, but this is why I decided to create a new account and start playing for the first time.

This happened about a year after the game's launch. The game was not popular and was on the verge of shutting down, but a major game company bought out the entire production team.

The major game company in question was a famous erotic game maker that mainly dealt with adult content.

It is not uncommon for games that were originally well made but did not become popular to incorporate R18 elements in order to attract a new customer base.

The character designs for "Flower of Histoire" are already divine, and when people hear that they can see sexy scenes with cute girls and beautiful women, many people are tempted and want to give it a try.

A tutorial scene and new systems that were not originally included have been added.

It says:

Magical power and sexual desire are proportional. In other words, the quickest way to increase your magical power so that you can fight against demons is to do naughty things.

So do as many naughty things as you like with girls you want to make strong or girls you like, and build a legal harem with nothing to feel guilty about! That's the new principle of the new "Flower of Histoire."

However, according to an interview with the creator, the setting itself was apparently there from the beginning.

Because it was released for all ages, he wasn't able to write in detail about the scenario, but it was only after the game was acquired and became an entirely adult game that he was finally able to write about it, which he says made him very happy as a scenario writer.

The artist in charge of character design also originally drew adult content, so when it was decided that the game would be made R18, he was enthusiastic and drew the erotic scene stills that would become the source images for the 2D animation.

If the creators say so, isn't it only polite for me as a fan of "Flower of Histoire" to take a proper look at it? Up until then I had never played or seen an erotic game, and I somehow had a strong image of it being "for men", so I felt a bit embarrassed.

For now, I decided to start a new account to take a look.

And then.

The first person to greet me was Fleuriverge, the daughter of the village chief of the village where protagonist Reiya grew up. She's an older girl and childhood friend who appears in the game's main visual and is likely the main heroine in the creators' eyes.

She's a neat and beautiful girl with smooth, lustrous black hair cut at shoulder length. Her clothes aren't very revealing, but her great figure is obvious even through her clothes. She has fair skin and beautiful lapis lazuli eyes. She has a noticeable mole under her left eye, and I've always liked her face and thought she was incredibly cute.

In the original prologue, after a brief interaction, the protagonist Reiya leaves the village and sets out on a journey, where he must choose one of three girls to accompany him on his journey.

The three options available were a lolita rabbit-eared beast girl who is a healer type that is almost essential from the beginning, a beautiful elf scout type who is key to ensuring safety, and Fleuriverge, a firepower type that tends to go to waste from the middle of the game onwards.

Fleuriverge is an option that most players never choose.

I tried her once during the closed beta, but it was harder to use than I thought it would be, so I haven't chosen it since.

That's Fleuriverge.

The night before player sets off on his journey, she visits the protagonist, Reiya, in his room wearing a negligee. She explains the relationship between magical power and sexual desire. She slowly takes off her negligee. Though she seems shy, she guides the protagonist, Reiya, who is experiencing this for the first time, embraces him, and moves her hips on top of him, swaying her large, well-shaped breasts like a work of art.

I was shocked when I saw it for the first time.

My heart was pounding. My nipples were getting hard even though I wasn't touching them. Heat was gathering in my lower abdomen. Even though there was nothing that should be erect, I felt an erection in my crotch.

I wa want to grab those swaying breasts from below. Squeeze them. Pinch her nipples.

It would feel so good to insert myself inside her, hot and juicy.

Before I knew it, I was staring at the screen, rubbing my breasts, playing with my hardened clitoris, and digging around in my dripping wet pussy with my fingers.

In this way, I comforted myself by imagining myself in her place, but the truth was different. I wanted to fuck her. If only I had a penis. If only she were right in front of me. Ah, what a crazy fantasy. But I couldn't stop.

No matter how many times I cum, the heat only subsides at that moment. I want to see it again and again. I want to do it again and again.

I used her as my masturbation material over and over again.

--After that, I stopped logging into my old account.

After the tutorial, I immediately selected Furu Riverge, took her with me wherever I went, and did lots of naughty things with her.

Curious to see more versions of her, I trawled through the social media of Fleuriverge's creator, the artist, and discovered that he called her "Ruri-chan" because he liked her lapis lazuli eyes.

I thought it was cute, and from then on I started calling her "Ruri-chan" too.

In the process, I learned that people online were mocking Ruri-chan as the loser heroine who never gets chosen.

"Childhood friend" and "older." She had a "second-hand" feel, as she was unconditionally embraced by every main character player in the tutorial. She was also rated as "meh" in terms of her strength and ease of use as a game character.

I didn't want to see a string of extremely unpleasant terms like "Fleuriverge is no good lol," "Fleuriverge is a woman with only breasts," and "typical loser heroine lol," so I muted and blocked them all one by one.

Damn you ignorant newbies! Ruri-chan is cute, sexy and the best heroine!!

--My first erotic game. My first erotic scene. My first time getting excited by a girl. My first time pleasuring myself.

To be honest, it might be close to imprinting. When I see Ruri-chan, my heart starts beating fast and I get all itchy. I want to hug her, kiss her, make her melt, screw her, feel her all over my body, and cum deep inside her.

I'm aware that I have some really big emotions that are a bit complicated.

It would make sense if the reason I, a woman, was reincarnated as "Reiya Richke" was because I couldn't erase this affection for Ruri-chan. I wanted Ruri-chan.

When I first became aware of my reincarnation, I was fine.

My memories of my previous life were vague, my body was that of a child, and my magical powers were low.

When I met Ruri-chan for the first time since I realized this, she was so cute that my heart started beating faster and my face got hot, but that was all.

A cute girl who lives nearby and always takes care of me.

Signs of a change in our relationship began to appear around the time Ruri-chan began to show secondary sexual characteristics.

Ruri-chan clearly began to avoid me, and even when we met by chance she wouldn't even look me in the eye.

I was so shocked that I wanted to collapse, but my healthy and strong body was in perfect health.

Well, even though my body was that of a child, my insides were filled with the knowledge and experience of an adult. I somehow managed to endure the days when I couldn't see Ruri-chan, feeling like I was watching my adolescent sister grow up.

Those days of patience were too boring.e

I devotes myself to self-improvement and relies on memories from my past life to power-level up.

As a result, he quickly grew from a child's body to that of a young boy, and gained enormous magical powers.

I knew that magical power and sexual desire were proportional. What an idiot.

And so, I too began puberty much earlier than average, and ejaculated for the first time during a fantasy erotic scene of a grown-up Ruri-chan that was burned into my memory. It felt so good that I was blown away.

I felt bad for masturbating to Ruri-chan every night, but the Ruri-chan I was fantasizing about was only the one in the game, not my real-life older childhood friend who I loved.

That's what I told myself.

My beloved childhood friend is becoming more and more beautiful. From a child to a girl. From a girl to a grown woman.

The sight of my childhood friend's chest, which I unconsciously gaze upon, overlaps with the silhouette of her breasts, a work of art that I know so well.

Her good figure is clearly visible even through her clothes. My enormous magical power and sexual desire are swelling.

The day of departure is approaching. There is no time left.

I've been thinking about myself and my future.

In the game, Reiya Richke is abandoned in front of a small church in a remote rural village shortly after birth, and is picked up by an elderly priest who lives there and grows up healthy.

He joined the village's vigilante group as a boy soldier, hunting monsters around the village while learning the principles of this world. After witnessing the passing of his foster father, the elderly priest, he leaves the village and sets off on a journey to a larger city to investigate the ominous rumor that the demon king's resurrection is imminent.

He believes that if he can utilize his greater magical power than most people, he can fight against the demons and save the oppressed people.

But I knows the meaning of Reiya's birth, his mission, and the despair that awaits him.

-- ["There is no happy ending beyond this story."]

That's why I decided to enjoy the present so I could live without regrets.

Just because we know the future doesn't mean we can change it instantly. Our destiny is decided before we are born, and the gears continue to turn even as we speak.

If the gears were to stop, the world would collapse and all life here would come to an end. So, there is no choice but to surrender to the rotation.

On top of that.

Is it really okay to involve Fleuriverge in my fate?

If I had not chosen her on the day of my departure, she would have lived a peaceful life in this remote village.

Because I love Ruri-chan and she's important to me, I thought it would be better that way. I've been thinking about it for a long time.

But I know because it's me.

Once I hold Ruri-chan in my arms, I don't think I'll ever be able to let her go.

Not only my heart but my body too is drowning in Ruri-chan.

Just thinking about Ruri-chan makes me get an erection.

I've managed to control myself by enduring it over and over again, but once I get it, there's no way I can hold back.

The Ruri-chan I saw on the other side of the screen was actually right in front of me, and what's more, the real Ruri-chan was even cuter than the Ruri-chan on the other side of the screen.

It's not just a matter of appearance, but also personality, gestures, behavior, everything that you wouldn't get to know just from playing the game.

Is it really okay to involve someone like Ruri-chan in my life? I might end up killing her.

Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in this village?

After going around in circles like that, I finally arrived here.

--Time for a choice.
