“No!”

Rafne Vel Martinez screamed.

She grabbed onto his crotch.

I was planning to take my pants off soon, but not here—not like this.

“Go, don’t go! Are you going to leave me here again...?”

Her glazed eyes revealed her desperation. Tears began to well up in her moist lashes.

“When will you come back this time...? Am I going to be alone again until then? No, no, don't go!”

She shook her head violently, her red hair whipping around.

“Don’t go… I’ll be good! I’ll listen to you, I’ll do anything you tell me to, so please…!”

She grabbed my pants and wrapped her arms around my legs, determined not to let go.

I could understand where she was coming from, but being this close was too stimulating.

Damn it, the softness of her thighs…!

“So, Rafne.”

“Uh, yeah, just tell me anything, and I’ll do it! Don’t go, I’m begging you!”

Her face brightened for a moment.

I sighed.

“Let me use the restroom….”

“No! No! Don’t go!”

She clung even tighter.

I continued staring at what was in front of me for a while.

It was the so-called status window.

It was a friendly message someone was sending me.

Just like they said, the blue, translucent square wouldn't go away, even if I rubbed my eyes or slapped my cheeks.

[Name: Ken Feinstein
Unique Skills: Crafting, Calorie Burn.
Unique Trait: Physical abilities increase as you lose weight.
Possessed Trait: Obesity.

Current physical specs: 175 cm, 110 kg]

I read the contents carefully, but my gaze soon shifted downward.

What was there was a huge mass that wouldn't normally be there.

Had I been possessed by a female character, this would’ve meant large breasts, but I was unmistakably a man.

Yes, it was belly fat.

An enormous mountain of fat.

“Fuck.”

I punched my stomach, and it jiggled.

I muttered a line that a typical TS possession character would’ve said while groping their chest.

I’m not in the best shape, but I’ve never encountered this much fat before.

I’m sluggish and heavy.

I walked over to the full-length mirror in the room and stood in front of it.

There stood a man who looked familiar, yet unknown.

“…and I look exactly like the illustration.”

Yeah, I remembered. It was from a game I used to play…

[I've been possessed by a female-oriented game called "Academy of Epirus"!]

If you're wondering why a guy like me played a female-oriented game, it’s because I liked the villainess from the first part of the game.

Especially those huge tits… ahem.

“...But why him?”

The man I possessed wasn’t a lead character, not even a supporting one.

The guy I possessed is [Ken Feinstein].

He’s a follower of Mary Hydia, the boss villain of Part 2.

Most of his appearances involve standing on the sidelines, saying a few lines when Mary confronts the protagonist.

He’s one of those extra characters that doesn’t even have a proper backstory.

“No, wait.”

Now that I think about it, he did show up a few more times.

Let me think, let me think…

“…Aha!”

I remembered!

This guy makes a brief appearance in the bad ending of the game’s final chapter.

It’s an illustration of the horrors of war. Mary Hydia is shown crouched down, staring blankly at Ken’s corpse.

Ahaha, yeah. That was a pretty heart-wrenching scene when I first saw it in the illustration collection…

“…Wait, does that mean I die!?”

Yep, I’m in the body of an extra character. And if the bad ending happens, I die.

The game I played, Academy of Epirus, is a simulation and role-playing game set in a female-oriented academy.

The goal of the game is to guide the protagonist, Emily Epirus, and develop relationships with the four main male characters.

Of course, I skipped most of the scenes with the male characters. I was only interested in the girls.

The villainesses from Part 1 and Part 2.

Rafne Vel Martinez from Part 1 and Mary Hydia from Part 2.

They were your typical villainesses, with pretty faces and sassy personalities.

Rafne was the fierce, red-haired character who looked down on everyone.

Mary was the cool, blue-haired rival with a strong sense of justice.

I really enjoyed playing them.

“Hmmm, the problem is….”

Yes, it is. I focused entirely on the villainesses.

So I don’t remember much about the male characters in Academy of Epirus.

“...I’m fucked.”

Most of the time, I used walkthroughs to skip the choices and reach the endings I wanted.

However, those choices are now crucial information that will determine my future.

If I make the wrong choice and get the bad ending, I die.

Luckily, I’ve forgotten how to play the male characters, but I remember the general flow.

I also remember the key items and tips for progressing Emily’s stats.

So, what do I need to do to avoid death?

The obvious answer is to avoid the bad ending.

Luckily, there’s only one ending where I die: the one where a war with demons breaks out, and Emily’s stats don’t meet the threshold.

“…But just in case I can’t avoid it.”

That’s right. Things don’t always go as planned. And I’m not the main character, Emily, so I can’t control the progression.

So, what else can I do?

Become strong enough to survive the war.

“…Alright, I get the general idea.”

Let’s deal with the biggest problem first.

I need to get stronger.

“Great.”

And now, the second problem.

“Hey, pig. What were you mumbling to yourself earlier?”

“Kahaha, mumbling like that is gross~”

“Hmmm…. I guess I should deal with this too….”

I adjusted my glasses out of habit.

It’s been a week since I was possessed by Ken Feinstein, and I’m sitting at my desk in the academy’s classroom.

Surrounded by a bunch of assholes.

“…Isn’t Mary coming?”

“Dumbass, can’t you see it’s raining today? Your master, Mary Hydia, is absent from school.”

Apparently, this extra character is set up to be bullied easily.
