FVR Dating Game: Royalties

Frinces' saw the world of Royalties flashing one by one in her eyes. The transition to every place was dreamy, with hearts and crystal effects with a peculiar pink and yellow mist. It felt weird at first but, she eventually got used to it.

The world of Royalties has four continents inspired by the four seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer. However, it was only in the naming. The four continents still had the usual seasonal cycle and experiencing the same natural crisis.

These continents have two or three factions controlling the land. And that appeared from the slides.

Because of the user traffic, the game loaded slowly. She saw on the upper corner that it would take five minutes to load the game.

Frinces thought it was normal. Most of the otome games she had played loaded slower than this.

Her patience was temper through the poor performance of her gadgets and computers.

Well, that's true for objects. She's still quite an impatient person if one evaluates her.

Five minutes later, Frinces saw herself floating on top of the clouds. She looked around and speculated how vast this place was.

「Welcome to Royalties!」

「Please input your name to proceed to the character preview.」

「(1-16 Characters) ____________」

A mechanical voice resounded in her ears. Frinces looked around to know who was speaking.

Frinces was baffled. She thought it was a dating game! Did they lure her into a trap?

Is there no such thing as a tutorial in this game? Also, in the usual otome game, they always feature the potential suitors of the player. It even directed her to the tutorial before inputting her name.

Frinces overthought. She hypothesized that she's the only player in Royalties.

Frinces was about to set her name, then frowned. It didn't feel right.

There was a contrast in the theme of the transition and the signature places in the Royalties. It was more likely similar to a Fantasy Video Game.

The game card showed "Royalties," but maybe the data programmed was that of another game.

She looked around to search for the [X] button, but she found nothing.

"Am I stuck?"

「Please input your name (15 seconds)」

Frinces clicked the box floating in the air, and a floating keyboard appeared on her face.

「Prince」

「Are you sure you want to use this as your name? Y/N」

"Yes," Frinces subconsciously replied.

「Congratulations!

「Proceeding to the Character Preview...」

「Character Name: Prince

Title: Special Character

Level(?): 0 Rank(?): -

Career(?): Orphan Reputation(?): 0

Affiliation(?): unspecified

Charisma(?): 0

Wisdom(?): 0

Growth(?): 0

Talent(?): 0

Attribute Points(?): 20」

Frinces saw the exact image of herself in front of her. Thoughts that she could no longer process all the details at once.

「Do you wish to alter 20% of your appearance?Y/N」

"Adjust to 10%."

「Adjusting to 10% will give you the option to adjust your hair length and hair color.」

「Hint: The System will rate your appearance once done. Reaching a total of 90% rating has a chance to receive additional points to a specific attribute range from 1-10.」

Frinces read everything carefully.

The game was realistic, gifting their players a pair of clothing while embarrassingly facing themselves in front of themselves.

Frinces was oblivious to the purpose of allowing players to change, maybe, a maximum of 20% of their original characteristics.

The majority of the women liked to see themselves look perfect, or at least dazzling. But if the company let them change everything, then maybe a prejudice would rise. The discrimination would be evident.

Meanwhile, height, weight, and hair were characteristics that changed along with time.

Frinces had no idea if she analyzed it right.

An option showed in front of Frinces' eyes.

An idea struck her. What if,

「Alteration Completed」

「Rating... 15s」

Frinces smiled, satisfied with how she looked.

Now that she's retiring from playing games, she should not be too catchy-looking. She had no plan to catch the attention of the potential suitors, albeit not knowing who they were.

Royalties is a peculiar dating game that kept its Male Leads hidden.

How can they meet them? Is there a specific reason why it remained a mystery?

「Rating Finished. Calculating the Average...」

Frinces waited without expecting anything. She just wanted to tour around the game, fulfill the terms in the contract, and retire.

「Name: Prince

Appearance Rating: 97%」

「Special Privilege Activated. Boosted Rating to 100% 」

「Marvelous! You got additional 20 points to your Growth Attribute!」

「Growth multiplier x2. Every attribute will be twice the original value 」

Frinces was surprised. It might be best if she didn't know everything about this game. The thrill every moment the notification rang ignited her slumbering spirit.

And for the nth time, she asked herself. Is this really a dating game?

「Character Creation Finished.」

「Which continent would you like to go:

a.) Autumn Continent

b.) Winter Continent

c.) Spring Continent

d.) Summer Continent?

*This is shown randomly without a specific ranking.」

"Is there no such thing as plotline?"

Usually, the setting of the dating game was distinguished.

The story would immediately start with the accidental or intentional interaction between the potential suitor and the player, known as the female protagonist. Sometimes, the story with the female protagonist's dramatic history creating a firm foundation of the background story.

It was one of Frinces' reasons why she played the game. She liked something that could stir the emotions in her heart.

Frinces slapped both of her cheeks and mumbled, "Wake up! There's no use reminiscing something that will not help me in this unique game!"

「Failure to choose within 10 seconds will automatically transport you into a random continent.」

"Transport immediately? At least tell me how the game mechanics!"

「7」

「6」

「5」

...

"Is there no outfit option? Can I have at least something that makes me human?" The thread that was keeping her sanity and patience snapped the moment the countdown started.

「System will be transporting orphan [Prince] to Spring Continent's Root Kingdom in the small village of Carnation...」

Until her last complaint, no one answered Frinces. She turned into a white light, leaving a curse.

"I swear to wreck this game!"
