Eros aims to kill (A Otome Game Quest)

Also for those curious about the other options you would have been born into a House of magical snipers/cryptid druids and the other was a Wizard Tower situation...
 
Character Creation part 2
"[?????????],[????????]? Are you alright?"

His siblings call for him, blues eyes colored with concern.

In the confusion caused by the surge of memories, it took a while to notice that someone is calling him.

But that isn't my name... My name is...Ḩ̵͎̬̅͋̎͑͗̇.̵͕̫͖̟̼̓̒̂͗.̷̣͇̬̬͑͋̅̎̈̉̃͝͝.̸̤͍͍̰͕̑͗̋̈́̋̈̂ͅ

Except that wasn't his name anymore, isn't it? No, the name they call him now is:

[ ] Victor
[ ] Joshua
[ ] Edward
[ ] Roland
[ ] Write-in/ I will be vetting some stuff just to make sure we don't end up with two characters with the same name (Seeing Otome game's versatile naming sense it's unlikely but).

Returning to the present, he could see his brothers glancing at him from their seats. Alfonse let down his book, while Klaus frowned seeing the discarded half-eaten cookie in a memory daze and Elias gazed at it, with all the longing that a 5-year-old could muster.

Even his cousin, Sigurd paused to observe, while taking advantage of Klaus's change of focus, to pass his plate of untouched cookies into Elias's reach.

"Sorry, I just dozed for a bit."

"Is kinda late for you and Elias, isn't it?" says Alphonse closing the book.

It was true, normally they wouldn't be to stay up this long much less do it while eating dessert but a combination of factors made it possible. First, it is because of the summer vacation so they didn't have a bunch of lessons to attend in the morning. The second is with Sigurd's mother passing away, and then their mother got sick with a combination of grief and her weak constitution the household lets them have this small moment of respite.

"They need to go to bed" Klaus continues, and on cue, a butler scoops Elias up, and soon another grabs his hand.

Before leaving the room a chorus of "Goodnight" is said, while the servants guided him and Elias to bed.

'This is so strange and familiar at the same time, it's giving me a headache.'

Walking through the halls of the manor only increased the dichotomy of the new/old memories. He was at the same time fascinated by the details his previous self missed and comforted by the seven years he lived in this place.

'It's almost like buying new glasses.'

Still, the sensation was only a reminder of his new situation:

The House of Goldstein was founded by Mikhail Goldstein. A long line of wizards famed for their craftsmanship of Magic Tools. For generations they have lived in the Kingdom of Genodelune, acquiring wealth and prestige.

'With that, it sounds like I hit the jackpot in the reincarnation department...'

At first glance, this world was a typical generic fantasy setting yet his recovered memory didn't fail him. This is the world from Wizardess Heart +, a game if the Heroine didn't succeed in certain routes the whole world was doomed.

Not only that but all of his brothers are future capture targets that sooner or later would get entangled with the Heroine either as friends or romantic partners.

Alfonse the eldest brother would leave home on a sour note, because of his magical plant research and only patch his relationship with the rest of the family due to the Heroine interfering.

Klaus, the strict and diligent senpai archetype will join the Ministry participating in investigations against Dark Wizards, also helping the family business on the side.

And young Elias would have an inferiority complex due to Klaus being superior in everything, eventually finding solace in the creation of Magical Tools and studying hard to cover his weaknesses.

Then all three would be threatened with the Dragonkin awakening and warring against the world, releasing clones, super soldiers, plagues, magical curses, and ancient golems.

'That if they don't die on the problems caused by other routes... What I can even do about it?'

Catching the sight of himself in the mirror while brushing his teeth brought another variable to light. In the game, the Goldsteins only had three sons, all blond-haired with blue eyes yet here was:

[ ] Another blond-haired boy with the same blue eyes.

[ ] Another blond-haired boy with green eyes.

[ ] A boy with black, hair and eyes.

[ ] Dark purple hair and yellow eyes like his cousin Sigurd.

[ ] Write-in/ Since it's a fantasy setting any hair/ eye color is acceptable, I will just say you look like your mother.

His existence brought another variable. The game itself admitted to having many parallel universes, some of them the Heroine didn't even exist. Could it be that he wasn't even in the main setting/ timeline of the game?

All of these thoughts burned in his mind, but his seven-year-old body was tired.

'Guess there's nothing I can do tonight, better to leave the investigation for tomorrow...'

Falling asleep easily, he didn't see the figure of a woman with disheveled hair entering the room just to give him a goodnight kiss.

"Sweet Dreams."

------------------------------------------

'Please, big brother! They don't allow phones in there! I will lose my login streak!'

'Why I should do it? I'm pretty sure you said I was the most:

[ ] Stubborn bastard you ever meet
Gain the trait Stubborn: Once you made certain decisions in the narrative it will be difficult to change their course, in retrospect few can change your mind even through supernatural means.

[ ] Manipulative scum you ever meet
Gain the trait Manipulative: More options allowing you to manipulate others in doing your binding will open, plus perceive something about others' behavior but doing so often could be a slippery slope.

[ ] Lazy bum you ever meet:
Gain the trait Lazy: From time to time 'relaxing' options will be locked in, and find certain activities unable to be done because of the lack of interest. In another hand, the character will not suffer the risk of overwork/ burned out.

[ ] Cruel guy you ever meet:
Gain the trait Cruel: You know how to spot someone's wounds and just twist them, open to perceiving certain stuff about others and more options allowing you to intimidate others either by strength, magic, or just casual talk. Also, you may end up hurting those you like just by habit.

[ ] Brooding brood that ever brooded:
Gain the trait Brooding: Your silent, brooding nature makes it difficult to spend time with others, and certain social options plus others will be unavailable due to it, in the other hand people wouldn't find it strange for you to disappear hours at a time in a dusty corner. Although it's possible that instead of waiting for you to come, people might come to you.

--------------------------------
I know I said it but you are also the:... Please, brother! (This time pick two):

[ ] Honest
Gain the trait Honest: You tend to say the truth even if it hurts, or it might be bad for you. Even so, it makes you trustworthy and that might be more valuable than gold. (Ps: You aren't going to spill your and everyone else secrets to anybody who asks, you will just say: Sorry I can talk about it or similar.)

[ ] Kind
Gain the trait Kind: You can't leave someone to suffer, especially when they ask for your help, sometimes to your misfortune.

[ ] Calm
Gain the trait Calm: Don't lose your composure in stressful and unexpected situations. It rarely has downsides when keeping one cool.

[ ] Brave
Gain the trait Brave: This world is dangerous and full of otherwordly beings having the courage to face them could be a boon but just having it doesn't signalize your success.

[ ] Courteous
Gain the trait Courteous: Navigating the social scene with enough grace to avoid a landmine is a skill to be lauded, too bad not everyone is appeased by good manners.

[ ] Diligent
Gain the trait Diligent: When on a task you always try to finish it, sometimes to even your detriment.

[ ] Daydreamer
Gain the trait Daydreamer: Good for when you need to digest certain thoughts, think of solutions to problems, or just creative thinking but at the same time getting stuck with your head in the clouds might make you miss out on some stuff

[ ] Stoic
Gain the trait Stoic: Having a stone wall face is always a boon in poker and in the case others try to guess what you are thinking, sometimes it's hard when you need to convey certain feelings.

'Fine, I will do it. What's the name of the game again?'

'It's this one, Wizardess Heart +, I just need you to keep logging in'

'It's another of your otome games? Your trashy taste keeps getting lower'

' How mean! One of these days I will make you acknowledge the power of otome games!.'

'Only in your dreams'


Not my best work thats for sure but at least I finished it.

I didnt beta read it, so its probably filled with mistakes and weird grammar, will fix it tommorrow. Final Part of the Character Creation, next time we will have our first turn.

Sorry, but I'd rather not be a Fate expy now. Especially, since this isn't a crossover quest or an anime expy world.

It's an Otome, as in one of those Japanese games that get made into anime if their popular enough, even if their more widely adopted now.

Is this a plan voting only or free style?

Considering the way we talked with our (previous) sister, courteous doesn't ring right. Than again, if you can't be (playfully) rude to your sibling, how could you say you trust them with using your phone?
 
[X] Plan: Calm and Stoic.

I kinda like the style this character has and the archetype it leans towards as a potential love interest. There's promise of something interesting there
