I Started To Gain Sentience In An Eroge
I Started To Gain Sentience In An Eroge - Chapter 2: It starts generically.

Have you ever played an eroge before?

I take that most of you either have played or at least have heard of it. It is fine either way, to be honest since you are reading this, not playing.

Nonetheless, this story starts similar to all of those.

Please let me explain a little about my position in this eroge game once more, before we get into it. My name is literally Classmate C. Not classmate A or B, but C. Among the characters in 'I Will Survive With A Harem Ending', the most dispensable is me. Throughout the whole game, I have a few lines of dialogue. My purpose is to deliver murmurs and that is basically it. The rest of which of course belonged to Han Som and his girlfriends. And that is completely fine.

I am not the main character, and I have no intention to be like that. Why? Because I do not like having my body dissected by female heroines. Like I told you before, these women are crazy Yanderes. They do not take a third party kindly, and that is the softest way of putting it.

Trust me, I know. I have been a victim of their massacres...You have no idea how many times I have gotten killed by being curious...

Enough about me, let us continue with the game itself.

The eroge opens with a high school scene. I guess that the theme is pretty common nowadays. Our school's name is called H high. Why? Because H in Japanese is pronounced as ecchi.

I do not have to explain what 'ecchi' is, right?

If yes, then you should start reading more educational materials, kid.

I hear people talking and walking. But I can never make out whatever they are saying. No matter how many times I have heard the same sequence, I can not understand a single word. The developers just put some kind of unintelligible crowd noises in the background.

And not just that though, the 'people' walking near the school gate are simply dark shadows. There are no features on them. Well, that is the way of drawing in an eroge. No need to spend so much time on redundant people.

Thanks to me somehow gaining my own sentience, I could walk inside of the game to different places as long as I am not interrupting any events. If I do something like that, the game itself will be corrupted and everything will return to its original state. Han Som, the main character, and the rest of the cast will have their memories wiped.

Fortunately, I think it is because I am so insignificant to the storyline, I am free from that fate. Using this as an advantage, I have noticed a few things about my world.

It always starts here, with the same people.

The school gate is the first scene, so it has the school drawn beautifully in the background. You can find the same thing almost everywhere in Japanese eroge. A big rectangular building with a clock tower at the top, some greeneries around the corner, and a tall sakura tree in the middle of the yard. The usual.

There are many places in the game where they were meticulously described. Artists will put shaders, colors, and sparkles all over the place to draw attention. My school is one of them. These locations are like that because they are important to the plot progression.

On the other hand, the places with little to no influence will simply be just black and white lines, just like my house.

Our first period starts at 8 A.M. I look at the clock tower and see 7:47. That is about the time for the protagonist to arrive at school.

According to the plot that I have many times seen, around this time, Han will be accompanied to school by his childhood friend, Rachel. By the way, do not judge me. Watching over these people is the only thing I can do in my world.

Ever since primary school, Rachel has been together with Han. The two live right next to each other. And the fact that Han's parents are always overseas has made him eat at Rachel's place every day. They share everything from having breakfast to sharing the same bus, to studying. Most interestingly, Rachel remembers an oath of getting married to Han back when they started primary school. Of course, Han does not. Nevertheless, Rachel will have that wedding whether he likes it or not.

I know this because I followed them home in previous attempts. Not going to lie, it felt kind of nice doing something like that. It made me feel like watching a movie.

What can I do? Geez...There is no real entertainment here besides that!

This first scene will start with Rachel linking her arms right next to Han lovingly. She has some nice perky breasts, so she will knowingly press them on his body. Since Han is a beta male, the guy will have a beet-red face. In addition, he will talk about people looking at them.

However, there is only me paying attention to the two at the school gate. The 'people' he talks about are mere shadows.

After a while of bickering, Rachel will ask Han about going to bed together for tonight. Once again, since the character is a wimp, he will try his best to deny the offer while blushing, saying that they are too old for that now. To convince Han, Rachel will say something about having nightmares these past few weeks.

Seeing the main character slightly convinced, she will continue her advance by saying sleeping by his side is the best remedy for her amnesia. In the end, the guy will agree since he is a 'kind' man. Hearing his approval, Rachel will clap her hands merrily and kiss him on the cheek as they go through the school gate to their class.

I died once out of curiosity. All of that so that I can tell you that Rachel will **** him while he is asleep. Han will wake up in the act and a romantic relationship will be formed. That is where you will see the first sex scene.

As for me, my role is to deliver a 'Good morning' to them. It is important for immersion.

"We're here, Rachel!" Claims Han in his uniform: a short sleeve white buttoned-up shirt, dark brown necktie, and light brown trousers. He has a pretty face. I am certainly envious of that face.

I just do not understand why he would complain he is plain-looking when he is the most handsome guy in the game.

Why...creator...Why must you hurt me like this?

At least give me a face, too?

I look at the blue sky, cursing my father.

Hm? Something is weird??

On his right side is Rachel. Not together, just next to.

She is a cute yet short girl with straight blond hair. Her eyes shine brightly in an aquamarine color and her lips are rosy pink. Rachel wears a tight white shirt but there are a few cutesy chibi animals on it. Still, the most striking thing would be her chest. With the fit being smaller than what she should have, Han can very subtly distinguish her bra shape. In addition, there is a skirt on her waist with a color similar to Han's trousers but is quite high. It barely hides her pink underwear.

I am not paying attention to that, though.

What I am thinking about is the distance between them. Is it a little far? Rachel, get back in there, you are going to have us returned to the beginning again!

They are not locking arms, either?? Just walking side by side? Is this an error in the game??? A bug, perhaps?

They should be all lovey-dovey in the morning, yet why is she like this?

Well, I guess it is going to be reset again. Luckily, this is only the first scene.

Phew! Did not expect that at all!

"Rachel? Are you feeling okay? You have been looking quite off since this morning?" Han asks her.

What? It is still going on? Weird. It should be a corrupted version and should be turned off by now. The dialogue seems unfamiliar to me, also.

"I'm fine, Han. There's just a voice in my head, haha."

Voices in her head? I mean, yeah, she is crazy, but voices in her head? She talks to Han but looks straight at me. Her eyes send shivers down my spine.

*Murmur*

Why is it getting louder around me? And why are the shadows getting darker??

"Don't take it so hard on yourself! How about you let me do the cooking for dinner today?" Han looks at her full of worries.

She smiles at him this time. It is clearly not a fake smile. I can feel her love for him emitting from her face. "As a matter of fact, please do. I have to go out this afternoon so just make dinner, okay?"

It must not be, I am only a mob character. I am practically invisible here, Rachel! This should not be happening. Please, someone, reset the game now!! I do not want to get involved with these people!!

She turns in my direction and opens her rosy lips. "Classmate C, good morning!"

I instinctively deliver my line. "Good morning Rachel, good morning Han!"

Fuck...
