Aikawa Saki was looking at the game screen in front of her, feeling utterly speechless. She looked at the Police Academy in front of her with a complicated look.
This is a bit… unexpected.
Thinking of the card that she had drawn, Aikawa Saki just wanted to turn around and ran away.
But in the end, she could only restrain herself.
At the very least, she still has enough time to train herself before it is time for the main storyline… right?
…
[Name: Aikawa Saki
Age: 22
Level: 1
Identity: Police Academy Student
Skills: None
Combat power: 1]
…
Aikawa Saki: "..." Let's not mention the fact that her combat power is only at the level of ordinary people.
She didn't even know how she managed to become a student in the police academy.
As she walked in and reported, Aikawa Saki looked at the student representative and sighed in her heart.
It's not Furuya Rei.
So… how should she gather popularity without any contact with the characters in the group?
Aikawa Saki wanted to cry.
…
A few hours prior.
"Where am I?"
Aikawa Saki looked at the scenery around her with bewilderment. It was pure white without any door or any direction.
Was she dreaming?
[Welcome to the Live Stream Death Game Player selection. You have been selected as one of the 10 players to enter a world and complete the popularity mission. As long as you complete the mission, you may extract a new identity and live]
"What? Are you kidding me?" Aikawa Saki frowned with displeasure.
[I'm afraid not. Please listen carefully because you will have to live the next few years in the game. If you fail your mission once the time is up, you will not be able to be fully resurrected
Aikawa Saki was stunned and then she asked, "You mean, I have passed away in my world?"
[Yes]
Aikawa Saki was silent and then listened to the instructions.
To put it bluntly, she had to gain popularity through shaping her character and inserting herself into the mainline. The world where she would go is Conan's world and it was obvious that she had to get involved in various cases with Conan around if she wanted popularity. How she planned to do it would be up to her and her goal was to gain 1 million popularity points if she wanted to be resurrected in her original world. If one wanted to stay in this world, the goal will be 10 times that amount.
She could use the popularity points to increase her abilities directly or try the lottery. (Which is not guaranteed to be good).
Aikawa Saki felt that she was not that lucky… maybe she should stay near Mouri Ran before doing any lottery.
But for now, let's not think about it.
"Is there any other way to increase one's ability aside from the popularity points?" Aikawa Saki asked with a troubled look.
[Yes, you may train the skills yourself]
Aikawa Saki: "..."
Heh.
Train herself?
Thinking about her previous lifestyle, she felt that her life will be hellish in the next period of time.
"How do I shape my character?" Aikawa Saki asked.
[You're given 10 points that you could allocate to your character sheet. In addition, you may also exchange the points with a time dungeon. In which, you may choose some point of time before the mainline starts to live and build your own past. Beware though as death will directly fail you]
Aikawa Saki was silent.
She looked at the description and understood that if she chose to directly start at the mainline, her life will be put as a movie for her to watch.
But if she chooses to start before the mainline, she will have to work hard on her own.
Then, she looked at the skill list and fell into silence.
10 points really couldn't buy her much.
Even the most basic fighting skills directly cost her 10 points.
It was miserable.
"Can I extract identity first or should I buy skills first?"
[Identity could only be extracted once you have decided whether to start directly at the beginning of the main storyline or earlier.]
"Hmm…"
Aikawa Saki looked at her character sheet and asked, "The maximum stats are 10 points, right?"
[Yes, but a person's stats might change depending on how you live your life]
Aikawa Saki: "..."
She was honestly tempted to put 10 points in strength and stamina as they were only 3 and 2 points respectively. An ordinary person's strength was 4 points, so she's below average…
Aikawa Saki face palmed.
Forgive her.
She didn't usually exercise…
Aikawa Saki quickly looked through the skills list and felt that they were too expensive. At least, she couldn't buy any and directly enter the main storyline.
'It's better to get some points for time dungeons.'
The destination and time was random, but it's obvious that it'll be before the main storyline and she will enter the time dungeon first after starting the game.
Perhaps for the audience, it'll be regarded as a spin off.
Eh, whatever.
The most cost effective would be to increase one's stats directly, but Aikawa Saki felt that with her character sheet that was below average… it's better not to do this.
"Increase intelligence to 10 points, 3 time travel dungeon points, and 1 point for an item portable space," Aikawa Saki said slowly.
Her intelligence was 8 points, which is the only consolation among her other miserable stats. Since this is Conan's world, she felt that raising her intelligence would be the best. Time dungeon points cost 2 points each and an item portable space is a tool. Basically, she could put an item inside and it cost 2 points.
She didn't know if it would be useful, but she will put pepper spray inside for a long period of time.
At least, it could serve as a self defence tool.
*Cough*
[Ding! Transaction successful]
[Please choose your citizenship: Japan, America, Black Organization]
Aikawa Saki: "..."
You can even choose the black organization???
She definitely didn't want to choose that and decisively choose Japan. Compared to staying in the Black Organization or US, she prefers Japan.
[You may extract an identity card now, Miss Aikawa]
Aikawa Saki nodded and simply placed her hand forward.
The next moment, there was a card appearing in front of her.
[Police Academy Student]
Aikawa Saki: ???
She looked at the identity and fell into silence before sighing.
Got it.
She has become a student again :)
"After graduation, the identity will change, right?" Aikawa Saki asked carefully.
[This is only your first identity and you will receive other identities as time passes. Good luck and have fun playing, Miss Aikawa.]
