BAM!
"You've got a lot of nerves, Lillian Ker Arius... to be so... "chummy"... with that despicable woman... especially when you have me... as a Friend..." A woman with long, black, flowing hair told the girl pinned to the wall by her.
Her hand was placed carefully beside a white-haired girl's head.
She stared intently at her with her beautifully red eyes that could be mistaken for the highest qualities of rubies. They met the girl's blue ones, which were as pure and sparkly as those of sapphires.
The girl, identified as Lillian, shivered under the woman's towering stature, who was about a head taller than her.
Her lips curved up into a wry and nervous smile, "H-hey... Marionette, should you really be doing this in such a conspicuous place? We're still in the academy's hall, y'know..."
Marionette frowned and leaned next to Lillian's ear, brushing the few strands of her hair that covered it and whispered:
"Answer my question, Lillian."
Lillian flinched a bit as she felt Marionette blowing hot air into her ear.
'That isn't even a question!' She shouted in her mind before having to cover her mouth as a shaky moan threatened to exit her mouth.
The feeling of Marionette's soft, wet lips brushing against her sensitive neck was very... stimulating...
The edges of her lips twitched at the precarious situation she was forced into.
'How the hell did I get into this situation!?'
She then thought back to a few months ago when she was first transported into this world.

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
The rhythmic clicking of a controller's joystick moving and the mashing of its buttons resounded inside a dimly lit room where the only source of light was a monitor linked to a console that displayed what seemed to be a scene from a game.
A woman no older than twenty-four sat in front of the screen with bags under her eyes and cans of instant coffee strewn across her cheap and messy desk.
This woman's name is Melissa.
Her eyes darted across the screen, highly focused on what was in front of her, before jumping out of her chair with a victorious scream.
"HELL YEAH!"
She pranced around the room with a jolly expression on her face before falling back into her black office chair and spinning back around.
She stared at her screen that displayed:
[Achievement Unlocked!]
[100 in Everything!? Really!?]
She had spent countless hours of her life in order to complete the task of finally completing every quest the game had to offer.
It was a bit surreal to her, though. She continued to stare at her screen before clicking off the achievement tab and moving her character around.
"I've completed it..."
Her excitement and happiness slowly dissipated as she came to the realisation it was really over. The game she had spent countless hours, days, and a few weeks playing is now completed.
A game she knew she could burn off some steam in after working 10 hours a day at her job. It was now completed, and there was nothing left for her to do with it but just to admire its aesthetics.
She collapsed onto the table and let out a loud groan. She then raised her head and grabbed the rectangular case used to hold the disk for the game.
She would then begin to read the back of it out loud:
"The World of Millis... an Otome RPG game set in the modern world with supernatural elements to it." She chuckled to herself, "To think I would ever play a dating sim..."
She then yawned before reading more.
The main character, Millis Vellen, is a girl from a humble, common beginning who eventually rose to the top of the academy while also raising the affection of several in the main cast, being either women or men.
"Raise affection, unlock characters, take them into battle..."
Although it was quite a fun game, allowing you to charm almost everyone, she did wish she could charm the beautiful villainess of the story.
Marionette Von Roselle, a cold-hearted villainess from an assassin noble family, was the main antagonist to the player. The creators didn't really give much of a reason for why, though; the fights with her in it were always entertaining to partake in, so the community didn't overly care.
"Even if it might be a bit gay... I wanted her by my side so baaaad..."
She groaned before looking at her screen and at the bottom corner, her eyes widening when she realised that she had to get to work in half an hour.
She had completely stayed up the entire night playing this game!
She quickly got dressed, brushed her teeth, and exited the building. Soon after exiting the cheap apartment complex she was staying at, she was suddenly met with a worried scream.
"WATCH OUT!"
"Huh?"
She looked to the side and was met with the face of an out-of-control truck moving towards her at high speed.
Her eyes widened, the only thing she could say before everything went black was:
"Are you seriou—?"
CRASH!
