You have 0 hearts

EP 0: You've Been Possessed

I was an ordinary high school student in South Korea.

A high school student who hangs out with friends and sometimes even goes to the beach.

That was me, Kim Yeo-ju. A common sight at any school.

Until that happens.

That day, I was playing a game while walking home after cutting palm trees.

At the time, I was into simulation games, and I especially enjoyed one romance simulation game.

It was a somewhat predictable game where you would earn "hearts" on each stage and purchase events and costumes to increase your affinity with the male protagonist. At the time, I was really into that game.

Why else would you play a game without looking around even while crossing a crosswalk?

Even though it was just before rush hour and the roads were quiet, I should have looked around...

So, there's no use regretting it now.

I was already hit by a truck at that time.

Oh, when I got hit by the truck, I felt like my body was paralyzed for a moment.

Then suddenly, pain struck me, and I passed out as I watched the driver yelling at me.

And that was my last memory of reality.

When I opened my eyes again, my body was floating in some space.

For a moment, I was terrified. I thought I was dead.

But at that moment, I suddenly fell to the ground, and after feeling pain, I felt relief again.

At least I'm alive

And then, before my eyes, a window popped up.

{You are currently immersed in "The Romance Story I'm Creating." You must clear all stages before you can exit this game. Please select a stage.}

Wait... The romance story I'm creating is the game I played before I got hit by a car. So... could it be that I've been possessed by a game like the protagonists of the "Bingyi" stories?

And, the window that popped up earlier said that I had to clear all the stages to be able to return to the real world.

First, I slapped her cheek hard. It hurt.

It's not a dream... It seems real after all

I closed my eyes briefly with that thought, and when I opened them, seven new windows were suddenly before my eyes. They seemed to be referring to stages.

I tried pressing the first one as a test, and the window suddenly changed and I felt dizzy.
