Future plans

When I woke up the next morning my spirits were better.

The night before I couldn't concentrate due to mental exhaustion trying to find solutions. I was too disturbed when I found out the truth of the world where I am now.

Now that my mind is calm I can think more clearly. And the first thing that came to my mind was: "Why did it have to be an otome game?"

"I played many 'eroge games' in my previous life; Why didn't I reincarnate in any of those games?

Things would have been so much easier when I had to pick up girls and I could have even gotten a harem.

Also, the 'otome' genre is not to my taste, I only played it because I was bored, and I bought the game by mistake or better to say I got scammed. I bought it through the internet and ended up paying more money for a game that was not the one I wanted.

I tried to contact the person who sold it to me, but he wouldn't answer my calls or messages, and the internet ad had been removed.

I was pretty angry, I was going to destroy the game, but I stopped, at least I had to get back some of the money I spent for this game. Look up the name of the game on the internet and end up disappointed.

The company that made the game went bankrupt, the game failed to arouse people's interest, sales were too low, and the few people who bought it gave the game pretty bad reviews.

Seeing all that again, I felt like destroying it and throwing the game in the trash, in the end I didn't and I kept it hoping to find someone to sell it to, but over time I ended up forgetting it...

Leaving behind all those bad memories, I concentrated on remembering how the story of the game was, and I must say that the story was quite cliché, it is a game with a plot that has already been used so many times in games or novels.

The female lead is a commoner who conquers the capture targets with her personality, kind, fair, brave, or because she has some unique talent that makes her catch the attention of the capture targets. Then they take an interest in her, and swear that they will make her happy and protect her...

The developers of the game didn't try to tell a more complex story, I think they wanted to play it safe, and used a fairly repetitive plot, but even with that their company went bankrupt.

The plot I can still remember well, but now the problem is that I'm just a useless background character, that his only purpose in the plot is to provide words of support to the protagonist.

So far everything is going well, but in the future I am the person who will help the protagonist in her growth and will give her the motivation to become stronger...

This is something normal, it is a resource used in many stories, to make the main character grow, not remain stagnant and turn his personality around... but if that is achieved at the cost of my life, then I will definitely refuse.

Also, the protagonist is none other than one of my sisters, to be more specific she is Ophelia, the story of the game revolves around her.

I was distracted most of the morning, I even forgot to play with mom's boobs, which of course mom noticed instantly, she was looking at me with a concerned look trying to figure out what was bothering me.

Noticing the look on her face, I tried to act as if nothing had happened, and proceeded to play with her tits, but although my mouth was enjoying this, my thoughts were on another topic.

I pretended to have fallen asleep when mom finished feeding me, I did it to not give mom more worries and not draw too much attention to my abnormal behavior.

When she put me in the crib and went to the kitchen to prepare food for my sisters, I opened my eyes a little to make sure that she was already gone. Confirming that mom wasn't there, I woke up completely.

As an adult man I have to think about this in a more rational way, regretting something that has already happened will not change my situation at all.

Returning my attention to the character in which I reincarnated, because I only feel pity, he is the younger brother of the protagonist and is not so relevant in the whole story. Since he was a child, he was someone who was sick, weak, and a crybaby, and he took refuge with his sisters when he got into trouble.

And if that wasn't enough, when he turned ten his illness got worse and he couldn't even leave his house, he spent the whole day lying in bed.

He had a gaunt face, he was pale, sometimes he had a high fever and his body was so skinny that it seemed that he was going to die at any moment from malnutrition.

If that was all, then there was no problem, but the game designers used it as a sacrifice to boost the protagonist "Ophelia".

In the middle of the story, they tried to kidnap the protagonist's sister, "Arisa", but failed; all this was orchestrated by the villain of the game, then she found out that she had a younger brother who was sick, and was the easiest target to capture.

They used it as bait to lure the protagonist into a trap and get rid of her along with her brother. But her brother, hearing everything and seeing that it was only a burden for her sister, decided to sacrifice herself.

He had been placed on top of a trap, with many fire crystals below him. The moment someone approached they would activate the trap and burn them alive, but their plan ended up failing.

Seeing that her sister was approaching, he tried to warn her, but her voice was not strong enough for her to hear, not finding a solution he activated the trap himself.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, just remembering the scene where Dylan ends up dying in a sea of flames.

"I definitely don't want to experience such a horrible death!"

Come on I have to calm down, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself down.

I don't have to be afraid, because I still have time. The main story begins when Ophelia enters the "Academy of Magic" on her fifteenth birthday. Hoping to give her sister a better life, and find a way to cure her younger brother, who was already seriously ill at that point.

The main point is to prevent this body from ending up in a sorry state. At least I know what is the cause of this disease.

In the game after Dylan's death, it was discovered that all the crystals had been completely consumed, they were scattered on the ground, completely shattered.

And that was because large amounts of mana were fed to them, to the point where they couldn't take it anymore and ended up breaking.

Breaking a few wouldn't have been a problem, but the amount of magic crystals was enough to fill a small room, and getting all of them activated at the same time to the point of breaking is beyond imagination.

They concluded that Dylan was born with too much mana in his body. As he grew older and had no way to expel or handle this excess mana, he accumulated until his body was unable to handle it.

Also, near the end of the game another person was discovered to have the same symptoms, upon examination it was confirmed that his body was being poisoned by excess mana.

Ok, now that I know that I was born with large amounts of mana in my body; How do I control this energy?

I have no idea, I have not yet learned to walk or talk to tell someone what I have. And if I could do it, they might not believe me, and in the worst case I will make my family end up worrying or scaring them because of my different behavior from the rest of the children my age.

Another problem would be the people here, if they find out that I'm different from other kids, they might stay away from our family and start spreading rumours. And since magic exists in this world, they can conclude that I am the result of some evil ritual or that my mother used dark magic to give birth to me.

It is a possibility as people always fear the unknown and try to draw their own conclusions.

I don't want to give trouble to the rest of my family, I have to find a solution for this problem myself...

Well, let's leave this matter for later, although I want to avoid becoming an invalid, in my current state I can't find many options to help me avoid this problem.

The other issue is about my sister Ophelia, I must make her not stand out so much, and prevent her from meeting any of the capture targets.

By doing this Ophelia will be safer, since one of her capture targets ended up falling in love with her and canceled the engagement she had with another woman, who turned out to be the villain of this game.

All this made her that she would be filled with hatred, she also saw it as an insult because she left her for a woman who didn't even have a high status, but was just a simple commoner.

And the villain is closer than I thought, because it turns out that she is "Lyvia", the daughter of Duke Cedric, and who in turn owns all this territory.

I want to avoid getting in trouble with those kinds of people, plus my sister will become quite a beautiful woman, so I won't let any other man take her away from me.

Another obstacle would also be the "Temple of the Goddess of Life", and it's all because Ophelia being the protagonist can use light magic. Light magic is considered rare in this world and they believe that those who can use it are those blessed by the 'Goddess of Life', and they try to attract them to follow her teachings.

With this clarified, now the other matter involves my mother from this world, in the game her name was never mentioned, she was not a notable character in the story either and she never appeared.

This is because at the time of starting the main story of the game, she had already died, there was not much information about this character, in the few times where she was mentioned, it was said that she died because of bandits who attacked the town where they lived.

There is no more information, but at least I know when it will happen, I just have to prevent mom from leaving the house that day and thus avoid her tragic death.

....

Wow, just thinking about all the trouble I'm going to have to overcome to have these three women to myself gives me a headache.

Summarizing everything, my future plans would be:

-Make sure to control the excess mana and thus prevent it from damaging my body.

-Avoid the death of my mother.

-Make Ophelia not stand out, and thus not attract the attention of capture targets or any temple that worships some god.

-At the same time that I do all this, I have to earn the affection of my family and thus have these three beauties in my hands...

It is easy to say, I don't know if I will be able to do everything I have set out to do, but if I want to have a peaceful life I have to try, only with the passage of time will it be seen if my efforts were worth it and if I will succeed or fail.
