It was only two days ago when I realized that this whole damn world was in a game.

It’s a crazy world where a sword slash can flatten a small hill, and magical explosions can form giant craters. The world looks like something out of a medieval RPG adventure.

Monsters and dungeons that could never exist in the real world were present, and so was an empire that trains students in educational facilities called “academies” to combat the said foes.

It’s a world where even a ten-year-old can swing a wooden stick to enter the academy, so why did I just realize that this was from a game two days ago?

Well, it was only two days ago that I regained my memories of my previous life.

 

“Ugh….”

 

Even worse, the character I was reincarnated as happened to be Lilith, one of the most mistreated characters in the game.

Lilith Rosewood. Alias Lilith, the Foolish Maid.

She’s treated with all sorts of unpleasantries in the story; this makes me wonder if the developers had malicious intentions towards her.

I don’t even know how many “labels” are attached to her because she’s a heroine with all sorts of obscene tags that you’d expect to find on an adult manga site.

She’s also a character who gets treated worse and worse the longer you wait to capture her. She gets obliterated to the point of no return if she’s not “saved” by the protagonist in time.

It would have been less painful if I’d just gone my whole life without knowing her.

As soon as I realized that I had that abomination’s face, memories of my previous life rushed into my head. It felt like my brain was having cramps with the rapid increase in my blood pressure. I can’t say if it resulted from that, but I was sick in bed for two days and had to be nursed by a fellow maid.

 

‘Hahaha, my skull’s definitely broken…’

 

Even while fighting a headache that could’ve been a side effect of regaining my memories of my past life and despite the realization that I was going to crack my skull, I somehow managed to pull myself out of the bed I’d been lying in.

I didn’t wake up because I wanted to do maid work. I got up because I knew I’d be an embarrassment to Isabel if I stayed in bed the rest of the day.

Even though my pre-reincarnation memories had come flooding back, my mind hadn’t completely erased Lilith’s memories, who had lived in this world for decades.

Her friendship with Isabelle, a fellow apprentice maid who had joined her a year or so earlier, had meant so much to her. The memories of Isabelle had stayed with her even after she’d found the memory of being a man in her previous life.

Now that I’ve left her to do my work for two whole days, plus nurse my illness, I have to show her that I do have a conscience and at least stay in bed longer than that.

 

‘…Why does this thing feel so heavy?’

 

As soon as I lifted myself out of bed, I felt an awkward weight on my chest.

After a few decades of memories of being a man flooded my mind, I woke up and realized that the two lumps of fat on my upper body were entirely foreign. If I had to guess, I’d say they were about an E or F. As Lilith, I’ve been living with this shit for a long time, and I will have to live with it in the future. The more I thought about it, the more it sucked.

Whatever it was, what I needed to do right now was get out of bed and get back to work. At least, not while marveling at my body as a woman.

If I was going to keep this body, I couldn’t stop here.

[Luminor Academy: Age of Swords and Magic]

It is a strategy RPG (SRPG) game I enjoyed for quite some time in my previous life. To be more precise, it was the title of an adult game that combined the SRPG genre with the young adult genre.

It’s a romance game that brings together two types of students at an academy. These include the nobles, born with magical talents, and commoners who must rely on their sword skills and physical strength due to their lack of magic.

While playing, you can’t skip the process of the character’s growth.
It’s a vicious game that prevents you from splitting branches in your save file, so you can’t skip the grind. Even so, it was a game that sold quite well online.

There are many reasons for this, but most importantly, your fellow characters (i.e., the heroines) are ugly.

Most adult games that appeal to men’s instincts sell well if they have one or two good female characters.

Among them, ‘Luminor Academy’ was a game that I personally considered to be a masterpiece, even though it contained some elements that I didn’t like. That is why, despite despising the grinding factor, I must have grinded nearly 2,000 hours in my previous life.

While I found it horrifying how I had to restart the game from the beginning each time to see a new storyline, the developmental storyline wasn’t as difficult to comprehend despite the many different choices that one can make.

The plot was also pretty good, by my standards, as it carefully handled each heroine’s redemption narrative.

Most importantly, the designs of the female characters, which is an essential element of an adult game, were all very pleasing to the eye.

In particular, the events for each heroine on their respective routes were very arousing in many ways.

These personal events made the harem route unpopular and seldom played…

…but the same can be said for the character I possessed, Lilith Rosewood.

 

<She’s really fucking pretty….>

 

Short black hair that bounces with a shine. Round and cute appearance. Big breasts, a trimmed waist, and a toned pelvis.

As anyone could deduce just by looking at her appearance in the mirror, this character I possessed was also one of the most sought-after in the Luminor Academy.

She is the epitome of a heroine in a redemption epic. She’s such a fan favorite that she’s always been in the top three in three official popularity polls.

Despite that, I found her as one of the most unlikable characters.

It’s not that I didn’t like Lilith’s appearance or personality. It’s just that as a natural unicorn, she’s a heroine with characteristics that I personally have a hard time putting up with.

I hated her because she had already hooked up with a guy at the academy’s initiation ceremony, where the game’s actual story begins.

She wasn’t technically the only non-virgin heroine in Luminor Academy, but she was the only one who could only be accessed through the non-virgin route.

There were several ways in which the heroine’s story was unique in this release. These included a coming-of-age segment where she visits her childhood village and promises to see it again, an event where the main character prevents her from having her first time stolen by another man, and a special option to enter a different story on the second playthrough after seeing each of the route endings on the first.

For the other non-virgin heroines of Luminor Academy, there was room to create a virgin route somehow…

…except for this one Lilith, whom I possessed.

In the story, no matter what I did as the main character, there was no way to meet her before the commencement ceremony of the academy. Not to mention, she was a terrible heroine who, by the time we first met her, was no longer a virgin every single time, the kind of heroine you’d think a unicorn-hater would create.

I realized that too late in my previous life.

 

<Just think of all the time I’ve spent trying to get the pure ending…. ha ha….>

 

Out of my 2,000 hours of play, I must have spent about 500 hours digging around to find this character’s maiden cheat route, though I never found it until the very end.

As a result, I have spent the most playtime on a non-virgin heroine, making Lilith the worst character in Luminor Academy for me.

…no, it’s not the worst after all.

The only reason I hate Lilith is because of the fucker who stole her first time.

Ethan Richard Blackwood.

The original villain of the game and Lilith’s master. I’m already feeling a little sick to my stomach just looking at that asshole’s face.

 

‘The thought of working with that asshole’s face makes me want to throw up.’

 

Ethan Richard Blackwood. Alias Ethan the Ragged Confucius.

If this asshole hadn’t taken Lilith’s first time in every iteration of the game, I wouldn’t have spent 500 hours to defeat him.

I must have had more than a few grudges against that abomination in my previous life, as memories of that life, which I had completely forgotten about for decades in this one, came flooding back to me at the sight of his face.

This bastard was always in the top three most unpopular characters at Luminor Academy, so he’s one of those people you couldn’t forget.

First of all, he doesn’t have the looks to be likable.

He’s a fat, unkempt guy who’s so messy that it’s apparent that it’s been around since he was a kid, he’s short as fuck, and he’s always got something dirty in his mouth and around his clothes.

He’s the only character in the game with a repulsive appearance, especially since most of the other characters, including the hero and heroine, are above-average looking, so that pretty much says it all.

Even if we assume that he could be made to look more acceptable if he lost weight, the problem was his disgusting personality.

That’s because this asshole practically enslaved his own maid, Lilith, for five years, from the time she was nineteen until she entered the academy.

The level of harassment was, quite frankly, hard to put into words.

He’s done all sorts of abhorrent things to Lilith in-game, to the point where it’s hard to think of anything he hasn’t done to her.

For crying out loud. If I was going to possess someone, at least make it the main character, or at least make it my favorite character, Natalie.

Having to possess Lilith, one of the worst characters in the game, is way out of line.

All I’ve ever done was write on a thread on the Luminor Academy forums for three years straight about Lilith being a slut.

 

 

….

 

 

“…….”

 

 

…Okay, I swear I didn’t do anything wrong.

Who wouldn’t be frustrated when you realize that spending 500 hours on a character is the only way you can get her as a virgin, no matter how many times you try?

Anyway, what I had to do now was not to lament or complain but to think of a way to survive.

Above all, I had to avoid becoming the exclusive maid of a fucking hateful bastard.

I’d rather be hanged and groped by that asshole than have him do it to me like he did in the original. I’m not bluffing; I mean it.

 

‘…Wait, no way.’

 

I slipped my hand inside my underwear to check it out. Fortunately, Lilith’s virginity was still intact.

Well, it was only two days ago that the bastard woke up from his curse, so it’s illogical to assume that he could have done anything to me within that time frame.

From now on, I plan to keep it that way, and I won’t let that hateful bastard drag me around like in the original.

With 2,000 hours of Luminor Academy playtime under my belt as Lilith Rosewood, there will be no “Lilith the Foolish Maid” in this world.

I swear. I won’t let that happen.
