Chapter 1:
I was reborn in a futuristic robotic world - Season 1+
I let out a long sigh as I lay down on the bed. My mother had made it as usual, fluffing the pillows in such a way that when I threw myself onto it, I almost drowned. I glanced at my console and gave a brief smile.
Haruka had given me a different game today. She said I would like it because it was about robots. Ever since I was little, I had always dreamed of becoming a robotics engineer, so it was hard to find something that truly caught my attention. At school, I received many nicknames: nerd, four-eyes, the robot girl. But they were right. Every day, my thoughts only went to one place: imagining a world full of robots that I could fix.
I adjusted my glasses and started playing. University would start early that day, but when I pressed play, I forgot everything about the outside world. That game was unlike anything I had ever seen! It told the story of a human girl who had gotten lost in a utopian world, with only one wish: to return home. But as the story progressed, she falls in love with the prince charming.
There was just one problem! I had fallen for the villain of the game—the one responsible for the heroine's death in almost every bad ending. When I looked out the window, it was already morning. I jumped out of bed, still holding the console, and started getting ready. For the last day of college, I couldn’t afford to be late like that!
I didn’t even say goodbye to my mother and rushed out with toast in my mouth. Without looking both ways before crossing the street, I felt an impact before everything went dark.

"Are you okay? Wake up, Mia!" A voice full of desperation woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I had to blink more than once to believe it. It was the prince from the game I had been playing!
He had a robotic prosthetic in one of his eyes, making his human eye blue and the robotic one red. I looked around at where we were. I was lying on the ground, with the prince holding me to keep me from falling. We seemed to be in some kind of royal garden, with many trees, bushes, and iron birds singing a beautiful song.
No button to skip the dialogue, no restart. I was trapped in that universe!
