Chapter 1

<Episode 1> I Thought This Was a School Story? Turns Out It’s an NTR Harem Game!

“Welcome back, Young Master!”

The sunglasses-clad man bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

Luckily, he didn’t follow me all the way to school.

He’s such a good person… but…

That face is just too scary.

‘Kids will misunderstand me on my first day.’

Anybody would think my secretary looks like a gangster.

How uncomfortable must the clueless kids feel around him?

But those worries were unnecessary.

They’ve already started putting distance between us.

Like they saw some wild beast in the middle of the city.

…

Actually, a wild beast would be better.

At least it wouldn’t mess with my family. Just me dying would be the end of it.

Hwagcheon.

If you don’t know about them, you’ll turn up in the Han River tomorrow. A mafia organization.

And their successor?

Yu-jin Kim was on his way to school.

Students bowed their heads deeply.

Afraid our eyes might meet.

As Yu-jin walked through the halls,

Ahead of him, a miracle akin to Moses parting the seas unfolded.

“Yeah! From today, I’m going to be one of the cool kids!”

Yu-jin thought this as he walked.

There were facts he didn’t know.

One: He had reincarnated into an NTR game world.

Two: He was messing with the protagonist’s childhood friend.

Yu-jin, completely unaware of these facts, moved his steps expecting a new rosy youth.

<Episode 2> Is the Protagonist Maybe Missing a Brain?

To be blunt, Yu-jin Kim was far from being experienced with love.

Not that he had many friends either.

…Yeah, honestly speaking, he had no friends.

Since he was young, all he knew was studying and was unusually innocent.

He blindly believed his mom’s words: “When you get into college, you’ll have a girlfriend.”

Believed it so much that he studied hard.

On the day he got hit by a truck while excitedly running to celebrate getting into college,

Yu-jin thought,

“Aah, I should’ve enjoyed school life more!”

Did the gods answer his wish?

Yu-jin opened his eyes in the hospital.

“Young master has awakened!”

“Get that pebble kid here immediately unless you want your head to fly off!”

“Shit! There’s gonna be a fight tonight! Lower the Baemin shutters!”

Though it wasn’t the original world,

For this second chance, he decided to properly make friends.

Fortunately, this restarted life was perfect.

He was the heir to an incredibly wealthy family.

Over 180cm tall, decently handsome despite his slightly stern face.

By now, anyone would expect some humility,

But he was strong enough to break a few hearts.

Had everything needed to naturally attract popularity.

“Wow, this isn’t just a golden spoon, it’s an antimatter spoon.”

He grabbed his uniform and got into the car.

A black limousine the size of three cars combined.

Yu-jin’s personal car moved smoothly.

Behind the wheel was a sunglasses-wearing man who loudly introduced himself as Biseo Park.

“Young master, you look splendid today!”

“Uh…”

He thought he should probably respond somehow.

The problem was nothing came to mind.

Let’s admit it again.

Yu-jin was a loner.

An ultra-class loner who probably spoke ten words throughout his whole life.

‘Shit, he looks like someone who’s buried people.’

Facing this intimidating stranger for the first time.

Communication was impossible.

What if he said something wrong and upset him?

In the end, feeling awkward, he looked out the window.

[You’re showing a ‘silent stoicism’ that avoids unnecessary words!]

[The other party thinks you’re appropriate for a boss!]

[“Hmm, our young master really has presence. That talk about him being light recently was mistaken.”]

These incomprehensible texts appearing before his eyes.

What the hell is this?

Is this a side effect from hitting his head?

‘Thought he was perfect, turns out he’s mentally ill.’

Actually, this world Yu-jin was reborn into was slightly different from the ‘Republic of Korea’ he used to live in.

Monsters appeared 100 years ago along with Awakened individuals.

The school he was heading to was the ‘Hero Academy’.

A special institution for teaching young gifted individuals.

Yu-jin vaguely understood it as a ‘fantastic world’,

But he only cared about adapting to school life.

Everything else was outside his interest.

With half worry and half excitement,

The car arrived at school.

“Welcome back, Young Master!”

After receiving Biseo Park’s farewell, he headed straight to the classroom.

Tension made his face stiff the whole way.

After all, it was his first day.

“Ugh, already nervous. Barely memorized the students’ names last night, but it should be fine.”

With a tormented expression, he stood in front of the classroom.

First-year Class 2.

This was the classroom where his new school life would begin.

Despite its name as Hero Academy, the classroom itself was ordinary.

If anything, it was overly quiet.

Maybe it’s a school super serious about studying.

Alright, smile, smile! Trust this handsome face and natural charm!

He entered with an awkward smile.

But after taking just a few steps inside, he realized his mistake.

“I don’t even know where my seat is!”

I might be seen as an idiot who can’t remember his own seat.

Worse, what if I’m alone until class starts?

Everyone’s gaze will be on me,

And I’ll throw up on my first day.

Just imagining it makes my stomach hurt worse.

After standing there flustered for a while, he noticed a female student.

Her face and name he’d worked hard to memorize last night came to mind.

Yu-jin approached her cautiously, relying on his good looks.

“Uh…”

“Yes, yesyesyesyesyes!”

The girl reacted intensely to his greeting.

She stood almost at attention, fists clenched.

A rather surprising response.

“Ji-in Choi?”

“How do you know my name… Ah, no! I’m Ji-in Choi from the Hunter Support department! My skills include healing and slight strength buffs! Tell me what to do and I’ll do anything!”

While answering, her shoulders were visibly shaking.

Cold sweat poured down her face,

And she looked ready to burst into tears at any moment.

She was clearly forcing herself to hold it together.

It felt like seeing a soaked puppy on a rainy day.

No matter how you look at it, this isn’t a normal reaction.

‘Did I do something wrong?’

But I literally did nothing.

Just called her name.

It’s not something that deserves tears.

Unless calling her name reeked of disdain?

“Whoa! Is he crazy? He talked to me!”

“Does he maybe like me? That’s terrifying!”

“Trash~ Trash~ Go home, loser~”

Could they be thinking something like that?

Your courage can be violence to someone else.

Suddenly feeling depressed.

Still, he had to achieve his original purpose.

“My seat…”

Ah, damn. Too nervous to speak properly.

Need to finish the sentence.

Otherwise, they’ll get mad thinking I can’t even talk properly.

“Yes! You mean your seat!”

Ji-in pulled out wet wipes from her bag.

Started vigorously cleaning the desk and chair.

So fast her hands were almost invisible.

“All done!”

The desk and chair practically glowed.

Her intense reaction was a bit unsettling.

Anyway, that must be my seat, right?

“Hmm…”

What should I say to this unexpected situation?

Thought this world was similar to Earth.

Turns out this world’s culture is quite different.

Would you ever imagine such a reaction?

I just wanted to know where my seat was.

Ji-in suddenly panicked and started moving again.

“Sorry, sorry! Let me clean it again!”

“No, it’s fine.”

He quickly stopped her as she was about to start over.

How could it get any cleaner?

Some kind of sterilization process needed maybe.

Anyway, I sat down.

Ji-in bowed deeply before quietly retreating.

Moving incredibly fast, like she couldn’t wait to get away.

Almost like treating me like some kind of germ.

Felt a bit sad.

“Man, I was planning to casually thank her and start a conversation.”

Casually looking around,

Students who were watching quickly turned away.

Some even left the room, making awkward movements.

Eventually, I had to realize one fact.

“Shit! Is he an otaku too?!”

Rich and handsome, yet…

Why? Why does this guy have no friends?

“Damn, if he’s going to waste that handsome face like that, he should’ve given it to me. Oh, he already did. Sorry.”

This situation was very confusing.

Yu-jin thought he’d obviously have many friends.

Especially since he just got discharged from the hospital today.

Classmates would naturally come by asking,

“Yu-jin, are you feeling okay?”

“Is it alright coming to school today?”

“How about classes? Can I show you my notes?”

He planned to smoothly融入these conversations.

But when he actually arrived at the classroom,

Surprisingly, not a single friend came to greet him.

Not even a hello.

“After being hospitalized for days, this is the treatment I get?”

Looks like my plan failed from the start.

Should I approach the strangers?

“That would’ve been possible if I wasn’t an otaku in my previous life! Make sense, dammit!”

Of course, I need to change for this new start.

But right now, it’s too much.

Thankfully, homeroom time is coming soon.

Let’s aim for the teacher saying,

“Oh, Yu-jin got discharged?”

Then naturally responding,

The classmates will slowly approach.

Just as I was happily thinking about this,

“Hey, Yu-jin Kim.”

Suddenly, someone called my name.

And I felt the atmosphere in the class change.

Previously it was uncomfortably silent,

Now it felt extremely frozen.

I could feel everyone’s gaze turning toward me.

“Was I called?”

A male student stood up.

An ordinary high school student you’d see anywhere,

Yet had an aura that seemed to get along well with girls.

“Popular kid!”

At a glance, I could tell he was completely opposite from me.

A white nametag read “Chul-soo Kim.”

Oh, holy crap. His name is Chul-soo?

Isn’t that the name of Shingo’s friend?

Even his name screams popular kid. That’s cheating, right?

Why is he calling me?

Just as I realized I hadn’t responded,

Chul-soo spoke first.

“Come to the playground. Let’s play one round.”

Hearing that, Yu-jin’s eyes widened in surprise.

A wave of overwhelming emotion welled up inside him.

“Is this… the legendary popular kid selection?”

A male student inviting another male student to the playground.

Unless they’re about to have sex, what else could they possibly do but exercise?

Probably going to play basketball or something.

“Ah, I haven’t played basketball much. Should’ve practiced.”

Still, with my current height and physique,

I should be able to manage with basic physical skills.

Anyway, it’s rare for a friend to initiate contact.

I’ll make my first friend through this opportunity.

Use this as a chance to make more friends.

Yeah, it’s a perfect plan.

Yu-jin stood up and went out to the hallway first.

“Ah, forgot to reply again. But Chul-soo seems to be coming anyway, so it’s fine.”

Things feel like they’re going well, though slightly different from expected.
