This is an event that happened a long time ago, one more story among others.

This is the history of a girl who, after dying, was reincarnated in the game she loved, under the name of Erselica.

♡♡♡

My room alarm went off.

I don't want to go to class, I had a nice dream where I was the partner of a handsome prince.

Pitifully, reality is not like that.

My reality is that I am an ordinary 15-year-old girl in high school, my hair is generic like many, black and my eyes are blue like most.

My height is average, I wish I was taller so I wouldn't have to stretch in the supermarket to reach the instant food containers deposited there.

I have bad eyesight so I have to wear glasses, contact lenses are very expensive and my parents don't have the money for them, if I want to buy them I have to get a part time job.

The only good thing about my simple and monotonous life is that my chest is bigger than girls my age, that's the good thing.

I finished brushing my teeth, showering and getting dressed. Now it's time for breakfast with the family.

As I walked down the stairs of our medium sized house, I heard my parents arguing again.

"How long will you stop betting the money you win at the casino?"

"It was a bad bet yes! Accidents happen, I'll win more money next time."

It's my parents' usual argument that I hear as I make myself some pancakes with orange juice.

Arriving at the dining room, I find my older brother eating breakfast while watching the news.

"What are you doing here?" I said to him, he is supposed to live in an apartment downtown.

He dejectedly replied "I got fired from my job, a friend said he would help me find one, I ran into my aunt at the grocery store yesterday and she forced me to spend the night here." His voice and tone always sound dull, like his glib appearance as well.

(Really, could someone like him possibly have a girlfriend?)

It didn't really matter, since deep down I love him very much even when we are not real brothers, he was adopted long ago.

I ate my breakfast and said goodbye to my family. My brother was still watching a lot a news that as it seems, is a worldwide bombshell.

"The multinational TechCorp, has managed to earn a total of 1 million revenues in just one day in their new investment, no doubt, their CEO is a financial genius never seen before! This will certainly generate more jobs worldwide, since after the war 60 years ago, mankind went through a terrible stage of depression and economic inflation until 20 years ago this miraculous company appeared!"

Before closing the door I heard my brother say "I would like to work in a good company, as money is money wherever it comes from". His way of looking at money is the only thing that bothers me, as he is very greedy.

♡♡♡

I was on the train, the guys and girls were using their latest generation Smartphone, they all had, the brand of that TechCorp company. There are moderate and very high prices.

Mine was also one, I was listening to pop music and unintentionally overheard the conversation between two girls.

"Hey, did you make it through that level? You know, the one where he requires you to have leveed Klein to use his special attack?"

"No, I'm busy trying to get Fritz to join my forces, that boy is very stubborn and won't listen, I wish there was an option to kill your allies."

"Hahaha, how mean you are, you don't know how to play it shows. The only problem where I am right now is that heavy Rudel is standing in my way."

"You're right! He's a pain in the ass, what's worse is that the silly prince forgives him for all his actions! He's such a jerk, but he's a cutie, I told my boyfriend to cosplay him."

"So what happened?"

"He refused and we broke up, I'll get another one."

The conversation between the girls continues until we got off at the same station, they were from my school, senior year maybe?

♡♡♡

As we entered the classroom, I heard obscene boy talk.

"Hey, have you seen this?"

"What thing?"

"That bitch Alicelotte's voice is a super famous actress! And besides, she won an award for best voice acting thanks to her role as a villainess!"

"Really? That just goes to show what a great character that bitch is."

"Hahaha, I wouldn't say that's it, but whatever. look at this I found on the internet!"

"What is it? Let me see."

"An erotic content artist has announced that her next paid content will be a super erotic one of her. The best part is look at the genres!"

"Let's see, oh holy shit, finally someone will make use of those super huge tits!"

"It really bothered me that she has so little role and a superb design, let alone the colossal size of those tits!"

"I wish also that useless Irisdina had boobs like that, I mean, she has big boobs, but she becomes useless once you manage to unlock the protagonist's area healing ability."

"Yes, she becomes a burden from the end of the 1st year, my complaint towards the developers is that she is so dependent on the prince that it makes her heavy, no man likes a woman."

"That's true, she should be a good useless and open a space between her legs haha."

Hearing what overweight guys with grainy faces say is always unpleasant.

They saw me and came out of my desk. As I got closer I could tell something I shouldn't have.

They were obscene comments and insults towards the person sitting here.

The first time they were written in permanent ink, the teachers made me wipe it off. The next time it was carved with a sharp weapon, they made me pay for what they did.

Another time they stole my underwear and hung it on the school flag.

I just let them do whatever they want, no use talking to the teachers; I think one of them sleeps around as I noticed how the math teacher awarded her the maximum amount of points when the smartest one in the room didn't get it.

I have no evidence to report them, but I gain nothing from them.

I will look into at recess how to erase this, the teacher came in.

♡♡♡

It was a long day, somehow I managed to erase it.

I was on the train home. Once again, I heard a group of guys talking.

"I'm telling you it's impossible to defeat him!"

"No matter what I do, defeating Bandel is impossible!"

"I spent real money on pay items and I still can't defeat him!"

"Liam is useless, he lets Rudel go and now he loses to Bandel."

They kept talking about that weird game I've heard a lot.

I got home and my brother was already gone.

♡♡♡

This day is the worst.

"No, please let go of me!"

Before the end of school, I was summoned by a teacher to the backyard. I thought it was to talk about my bad grades, I was really scared that it's that and came without thinking.

From the opposite side came a group of girls and boys.

Their faces were scary.

When I was about to run the boys came forward to grab me. I was scared, my legs were trembling, I was about to topple over.

I heard them talking.

"Hey, you're an asshole, aren't you?"

"That's right, lol, this girl doesn't understand that no one loves her and yet she still comes, lol."

"Your parents are just as stupid as you, or are they so poor to not want to change you? haha."

"Hey, what do we do, do we strip her naked and sell her pictures like that other girl's?"

"Nah, it's boring to do the same thing over and over again, for today, let's vary it up a bit."

The lead girl was looking at an address and said with a smirk "I know! Throw her in the dumpster, today is Friday so no one is there anymore and you won't be able to take her out until Monday, lol, what a genius I am."

"Ahahaha what a badass you are."

With that said, the boys grabbed my limbs as one of them opened the lid of the dumpster.

"Please no, I'll stop coming, but for-!"

I am claustrophobic, so this cruel act is worse than possibly raping me.

As if it was a joke or a game, they swung my body to the count of 3 and my body went flying.

As I landed in the trash, the lid closed and I heard them place something on top and a slamming sound rang out.

"Please open the door!"

"I beg you, open up!"

I listened as they laughed and said goodbye saying see you Monday.

I screamed and tried to lift the lid, but it wouldn't open.

The stinky smell was the least of my concern, the enclosed space was what scared me the most, my heart was pounding. Fortunately, I'm not asthmatic, but I was still running out of air.

It was then that I heard a sound.

The lid of the dumpster opened and who opened it was a janitor with very large headphones that indicated it was a very old music player.

After opening the lid, I didn't thank him, I just ran out as tears came out of my eyes and my mind thought one thing.

(I really hate school!!!!)

♡♡♡

Several weeks passed since that.

"I'm hungry." I said due to the fact that there is nothing to eat at my house.

My parents are not around.

I tried to tell them what happened, but they thought it was a false story and punished me by not going to class for a while. I think they were drunk when they said that?

My brother is busy with his new job, so he doesn't answer my messages.

"I guess I'll go buy something at the store."

With that said, I prepared to leave.

Not before I heard a news item on TV.

"Yesterday a group of young men were found beaten and left in a state of near inanimacy. The perpetrator was not recorded as it happened in an area with no cameras."

Wahh how scary.

♡♡♡

I arrived at the store.

I was holding a very nutritious processed food in my hand until something caught my eye.

It was a poster, there were several in fact. They were all centered on the same people, no, they are characters from a game.

In the center is a handsome silver-haired boy.

To his left are tall boys with red and green hair, and to his right are a brown-haired boy and a blond-haired boy.

Next to the center boy is a beautiful girl, her hair is blonde and she has big breasts.

I said "oh, she looks interesting, the name is no big deal, but the rest of it is!". I decided to buy it to see what it was like.

♡♡♡

When I got home, I put the game cd in the console.

Like any game of its genre, it starts with a music video, introductory. It's very boring honestly, plus the game design is anime style, I'm surprised that nowadays people still like it.

Let's try it a little bit.

The lights went out, someone comes out talking.

"-A long time ago, the world was in its final stretch by an unknown entity."

Well, it's interesting so far.

"-But for the Saint, this world would have perished."

Wow, another story related to an obvious character that will come out in the middle of the game.

Looks like it came the turn of the one who is supposed to be the protagonist, the gameplay seems to be based on a visual novel, you can't change the protagonist's name either.

"-I, Liam von Altfode, am the crown prince of Altfode Kingdom, my father, the King, has never allowed me to leave, but fortunately. Today is the day where I will enter the kingdom's academy."

Wow, what a simpleton this guy looks, I won't say anything about his bland narrative.

"-Hello, Liam."

"Huh? Klein, you made it!"

-Klein is my childhood best friend, we grew up together and I consider him like a brother.

Don't tell me, if you don't tell me, I'd think you two are homos.

♡♡♡

"-Today's training sure was annoying, but I must get stronger for the good of the country."

As far as I have been watching him, he is right, he has been trying hard despite being ignorant of life and the country.

Do I think I underestimated him too much?

-I heard footsteps approaching, as I turned to see who it was, it was Fritz, my commoner friend.

"-Your Highness, it's an emergency!"

"-What is it?"

Oh, here comes the good stuff.

"-It's him again!"

"- Him? You're not talking about-!"

"-Exactly him!"

We know who it is, but keeping the tension is always very good.

-I followed Fritz to the area of the academy where a kitchen is used for home economics, that's where I saw him, the most troublesome person in the academy.

He finally arrived!

"-Baron Rudel, what do you think you're doing!"

He did it, he said it, here he is!

-In front of me were a group of students, they had black uniforms like Fritz, but the problem here was their leader, an evil nobleman from the countryside, his name was Rudel van Bradford. He had a hold of a blonde haired girl from behind.

"-Hah? Shit, it's that prince! You fools, go after him!"

Is he serious, how stupid is that Rudel for him to have ordered that and more what to listen to him?

Umm... It looks like the fight is over and the experience gained is very poor.

-I approached the girl to make sure she was okay.

"-Are you hurt anywhere?"

"-N-no, this one, thank you so much for helping me!!!"

Wahh, this is where we start with how easy you are.

They were talking about nonsense, she blushed and asked her name very shyly. How much of a pushover are you really? Now the prince asks about the same thing.

"-M-my name is Irisdina, nice to meet you Your Highness!"

The pink aura in the illustration despite being an RPG makes me cringe.

♡♡♡

"-Is there a problem Irisdina?"

-For some reason, she's been quiet for a while now. I want to know what's wrong with her, but I don't want to be a busybody in her private life.

Come on, it's obvious that she wants you to poke around in her life.

"-N-nothing's wrong, Your Highness."

-I said goodbye to her and went to my room.

Hey, what the fuck did she say, did she just leave?

-The next morning I found out that Irisdina had passed away.

"Noooooo!!! what the fuck, bad visual novel ending again when you're an RPG!"

"This game sucks... but I won't give up!"

I'm following this guide I found on the internet. After several hours of doing what it says, I finally found it.

"-So it was you all along, Alicelotte!"

"Your Highness!"

-The girl in front of me was the daughter of one of the 3 lords of the kingdom. She was a girl with a very overbearing attitude with a big ego.

"-Stop pretending, it was all discovered!"

I had to go through a lot, but finally the time came where this slut will pay for her sins,

"-I don't believe it!"

"-That voice is from, Baron Rudel!!!?"

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

This fucker interfered again and the prince had it all sorted out.

♡♡♡

"Ahhhh damn it! I can't win!"

After finishing a part of the story where Alicelotte receives her end while Rudel fled like a coward abroad. I encountered a new threat, it was a guy by the name of Bandel. No matter what I do or what plan I develop, it is impossible to beat him.

I have only one solution left.

"I'll call my brother to help me. He's an otaku in games, so it's normal for him to play stuff like that."

I grabbed my smartphone, checked the time to see if I could call him.

It was Friday night and the time was very late. I certainly can't call him, I'll text him since he must probably be on his way home from the train station.

"Alright."

I texted my brother. Now, I'll get some rest.

Before I went to get something to eat, I heard that annoying voice.

"-Guhahaha, no one will be able to defeat me, the bloodthirsty knight."

Shut up already.

♡♡♡

It was a very long night, my idiot brother replied that he didn't want to.

"I'm going to lecture him when I see him."

I went downstairs, my parents were gone.

The TV was on for some reason.

It was talking about something that happened yesterday.

I wasn't interested and focused on my stomach.

"Last night a tragic event happened, a young man fell on the tracks at the train station. Everything was recorded, no one pushed him. It is presumed to be suicide as the young man dropped his body and made no effort to try to escape."

My hunger is so bad I can't hear what they are saying.

I made myself breakfast and went upstairs, they kept saying things that didn't interest me.

"The mysterious wave of mass murders of families continues. Police warn to close your windows and lock your doors-"

♡♡♡

It's been two whole weeks now and my idiot brother still hasn't responded.

I start to worry, what if a very bad woman decided to rip him off?

It was nighttime and my parents were in their room.

I heard a noise downstairs, did the cat come back in to steal food?

I stopped playing and went downstairs to see what it was?

And then...

"Wake up!!!"

◇◇◇

Erselica's eyes suddenly opened, she blinked a little, her glasses had broken, but she wore them as a reminder of her previous life as she could see very well indeed.

As she tried to assimilate what had happened, she saw a silhouette. That silhouette was very similar to one he remembered. Focusing her gaze on that back she said.

"...Brother?"

"Ixion! On your left!"

"I know!"

Twice she heard, one was from a boy and the other was an electronic voice.

Turning her head to her left, Erselica could see an alligator-like creature with a human face approaching.

"G-gyahh!" she shouted as she saw the creature approaching. It was there that Ixion above her head flashed its red eye and a laser beam was fired straight at the head.

A glowing yellow liquid spurted out.

"What's going on here?" hearing that, Ixion approached her to speak.

"Hello, this is Ixion. Let me sum everything up."

Erselica had seen his spherical body in the game and on the ship as well, only now she thought of him as a rare thing.

"You fell next to the master and both were knocked unconscious, then, a hole from the front opened up and I was holding those creatures alone. The master woke up after a while and was attacked by those strange beings and then tried to wake you up."

With that said, Erselica observed a large number of bizarre creatures on the ground, there was light as Ixion fired flares at the surroundings.

The number was 30 creatures, Ixion eliminated half of them, now Rudel was fighting several.

Erselica's eyes focused on Rudel who was desperately swinging his katana against the one that seemed less gruesome.

It was some kind of gorilla with pants, lower fangs showing and black eyes. He was using his powerful fists to repel the katana.

Then...

"Damn!"

The katana flew out towards the head of some kind of deer with a human face.

Erselica tried to reach for her shotgun, but Ixion told her that Rudel had used it until he ran out of ammunition.

The strange gorilla, once a human named Mandricardo, directed his fists from left to right at Rudel.

He took cover by raising his arms above his head, but....

(I never felt so strong and alive, ukiki!!!) Is what the former human thought as he painfully broke Rudel's guard.

Blow after blow impacted until his arms fell and his face was visible.

(I got you motherfucker, dieeeeeee!!!!) Mandricardo was thinking as he hit Rudel's ears, nose and mouth like a ball.

From left to right Rudel's head was shaking from the strong impacts and traces of blood were coming out.

"Puahh!" a spit of blood came out of his mouth staining his white teeth.

Then, with a big right. Mandricardo impacted Rudel's chin sending his head back.

"Master!" cried Ixion while Erselica, didn't know whether to feel happy or sad for the only person who could save her from these strange creatures.

Once again she was heading the right of this creature. She was rapidly approaching an unresponsive Rudel.

It was there that something happened that had never happened either in the game or in the past life of the occupant of his body.

At the moment of directing his fist, Rudel's left arm deflected it and his right moved violently towards the gorilla's cheek.

This blow was so hard, it left a bruise on him that he could deflect the edge of a cutting weapon as if it were nothing.

Rudel's breathing was loud and his fists were raised.

A creature approached him, and with the same fist. It impacted the back of his head knocking him out or perhaps killing him as yellow liquid came out of its snout.

Rudel, raised his face and his eyes burning in flames saw Mandricardo, while screaming at the top of his lungs.

"IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!"
