Volume 1: The Day My Normal Life Died

Chapter 1 – The Worst Luck in HistoryI, Nakamura Haruto, am painfully average.

Average height. Average grades. Average face. 

Average everything.My daily routine is so boring it could put a sloth to sleep: wake up, eat plain toast, walk to school alone, sit in the back of the class unnoticed, go home, play games, sleep. Rinse and repeat.That was my life.

Until today.It was a perfectly normal spring morning.

 Cherry blossoms were falling like pink snow as I walked through the old wooden torii gate of Seiran High School. 

I had my hands in my pockets, earbuds in, mind blank.Then I saw her.

An old lady in a suspicious black cloak sitting on a small stool beside the path, selling strange trinkets. 

She looked like she crawled straight out of a shady isekai shop.

"Young man," she croaked, eyes gleaming, "you have very lonely eyes. Would you like a charm to make your life… exciting?"I gave her the politest rejection I could muster.

"No thanks. I'm good."I tried to walk past.

Her wrinkled hand shot out like a viper and grabbed my wrist with surprising strength. Before I could react, she slapped a small glowing red heart-shaped pendant around my neck.

"The Curse of Infinite Love is now yours," she whispered with a creepy grin.

 

"From this moment on, every girl who lays eyes on you will fall madly, hopelessly, stupidly in love with you. Good luck, boy~♥"

She cackled like a witch and vanished in a puff of pink smoke.I stood there blinking."...What the actual hell?"I tugged at the pendant.

 It wouldn't come off. It was stuck to my neck like it had been welded there. The red glow faded, but I could still feel a faint warmth against my skin.I sighed.

"Great. I got cursed by a cosplaying grandma on my way to school. This is definitely going to be one of those days.

"I continued walking toward the school building, trying to ignore the weird pendant.

Big mistake.

The moment I stepped through the main gate, the entire world changed.Time seemed to freeze.Every single girl in the courtyard — first-years, second-years, third-years, even some teachers — turned their heads toward me at the exact same second.

Their eyes widened.Then their pupils turned into sparkling pink hearts.Blushes exploded across dozens of faces like fireworks."Haruto-kun…?""Haruto-kun…!""Haruto-kun…!!!"The whispers turned into a roar.

Dozens of girls started sprinting toward me like I was the last limited-edition gacha figure on Earth.One girl with twin tails and massive breasts (my childhood friend Yui) dropped her bag and charged forward with murder in her eyes — but the murder was aimed at the other girls, not me.

"Haruto you idiot!!" she screamed, face bright red. "Why are all these sluts suddenly throwing themselves at you?! You’re supposed to be ignored like usual!!"

She reached me first, grabbed my collar with both hands, and yanked me close. Her enormous chest squished heavily against me."…D-Don’t look at them," she whispered, voice shaky and embarrassed. "Look at me instead, stupid…"

Before I could even process that, I was swarmed.

A girl latched onto my left arm.Another hugged my right leg like a koala.

A third-year senpai with long silver hair (the usually ice-cold Student Council President) dropped all her papers, blushed furiously, and walked toward me in a trance.

"N-Nakamura… your average face is suddenly so… so irresistible. Please… let me reorganize your entire schedule so we can spend every second together."

I felt my soul leaving my body."WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!?!"The pendant on my neck glowed brighter, as if it was laughing at me.This was it.

My normal, peaceful, boring life had just died a violent death.And it was only 8:15 in the morning.
