Chapter 1:
2x Help! I am in absolute despair and have a tragic past!
After seeing this strange scene of a crying Kiki waiting for my answer on the ground and [rich girlfriend] screaming in the farthest corner with [CEO] in her arms I decided...
Kiki, give me a second let me take a sip of coffee first.
A FEW SECONDS LATER
Kiki was devastated, his rich girlfriend of 4 years cheated on him with the rich currently unconscious company CEO who was 5 years older and looked like your typical Rofan male lead. Short black hair, red eyes and a cold personality. A overused trope that has appeared in many famous novels, but it is refreshing to see that this time the so called overpowered male lead was indeed powerless.
"Hey! Mysterious voice stop narrating now! I am really sad that my rich girlfriend cheated on me! And why do you know his eye color and personality, he is literally unconscious with his eyes closed? Pay attention to me too! :C"
(-_-)
We are now getting off the script and improvisation can't fix anything. Alright time to rewind time and I snapped my fingers. I rewound the time to before Kiki left the elevator. Now then let's start the scene again.
Kiki arrived at the top floor where his rich girlfriend was waiting. Kiki stood in the elevator with the cake in his hand. Kiki stood there and didn't move. He continued to stand there. Kiki stood in the elevator with a blank expression and didn't move...
Wait a minute a blank expression? That's not in the script...
Hey uhm Kiki? Kiki?
I asked Kiki but no response. All I could see was Kiki staring into the space and having no thoughts at all. I checked and his brain was empty.
Haa... I am not getting paid enough for this job. Alright let me see the tutorial book again. Let's see, where is it...
[Tutorial book for new employees]
Summary:
1. Introduction
2. General functions
....
Ah! There it is under 13. Glitches and how to fix it. If the protagonist you are in charge of suddenly starts staring into the space, then go to the settings and restart the entire program. Don't forget to save before closing the system.
Alright let's do that! I closed the book, saved the data and shut down the system.
AFTER ONE RESTART LATER
Kiki arrived at the top floor of the company building where his rich girlfriend worked in. "I can't wait to see her! [rich girlfriend] will be so happy to see me!" Kiki looked with anticipation and smiled. Kiki worked hard to make their 4th anniversary the most memorable day in their live.
Kiki wore a stylish outfit that he also wore when they went on their first date. A white shirt, long light brown pants and a light brown knit jacket. Kiki was ready and confident with a cake in one hand the elevator door opened and what Kiki saw was shocking.
"W-W-what [rich girlfriend] and the [CEO] a-are d-DDEAD!!!" Kiki screamed with betrayal that's right [rich girlfriend] chea--- wait a minute what?
I looked away from the script I was reading and looked at my screen. It was a sight, let me tell you that. Sitting on the office couch there laid [rich girlfriend] and the [CEO] hand in hand with their lifeless eyes. There were no physical wound it was as if they were killed on the inside. A system reset was impossible at this point, because death can't be stopped once a character is dead, even a time rewind won't bring them back.
I thought about my options either I call the character replacement department and they send in a new set of [rich girlfriend] and [CEO] or I continue the story as it is and just hope that this counts still counts as his rich girlfriend cheating on him. I was debating for a while but then my silent thoughts got interrupted.
"Hey? Mysterious voice are you still here? W-what should I do?" Kiki asked with confusion. Kiki felt shocked the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw his beloved girlfriend dead on the couch. "Hey! Mysterious voice stop narrating and tell me what's going on!?" Ah. Sorry force of habit. Well Kiki I don't know how this happened. I have been working as a narrator for an eternity and this is the first time I have seen characters die before their first appearance.
"What do you mean with characters mysterious voice?" Ah it's nothing Kiki I am just rambling some nonsense. "Okay! That happens sometimes to me too! Don't worry!"
Luckily Kiki isn't the smartest
"So... what happens now mysterious voice?" Nothing, we will start improvising.
I took out a note from my notebook and wrote down "I cheated on you. I don't love you" I then teleported the note on the desk.
After recovering from the shock, Kiki noticed a note on the desk. "Wait what?" Kiki look down. "Ah! There really is a note, how did you know mysterious voice!" Kiki looked amazed.
(-_-)
Kiki took the note and read it. "What! [rich girlfriend] y-you cheated on me!?" Kiki then looked shocked at the silent corpse. "H-how could you! I-I don't know what to do!"
Our dear protagonist experiences his first betrayal, one of many that would come. But the first betrayal is usually the hardest. Kiki was on the verge of tears, but the decided to hold them in, after all crying in front of [rich girlfriend] would be exactly what she would have wanted.
Well if she was alive.
So Kiki decided to storm out of the office and entered the elevator. This time Kiki endured the entire 10 second elevator ride and when he entered the ground floor Kiki started crying.
"WAAAA! How could you [rich girlfriend]!!!"
Without any consequences [rich girlfriend] got away with cheating. Ah. Wait a minute let me change that sentence. [rich girlfriend] reaped the consequences of her actions and left a deep wounded trauma in Kiki's innocent heart. A wound that might last forever in his heart.
"Mysterious voice, this narration doesn't really help right now T-T" Ah sorry, I will skip the rest then.
After acquiring the first part of Kikis tragic backstory, Kiki without noticing arrived at the apartment of [rich girlfriend] and him. Kiki went inside put the cake on the burnt ashes of what was once a table and went inside his room. "I guess it's time to leave... Hey mysterious voice, could you leave me for a second. I-I need some time to think and pack my clothes."
Normally that would be against the rule but for me Kiki is above the rules, so I decided to make an exception, after all it was Kikis first step towards becoming a true protagonist.
Alright Kiki I will leave you for five minutes, so take your time to recover.
"Thank you..."
I closed the screen and left Kiki alone. I decided to see check on the script and review the changes that I had made, because of these strange incidences.
Dear diary,
