So you've been hit by a truck. Shit happens. Lots of people get hit by trucks, you know; especially in Japan. If the youkai, the Yakuza, the superpowered children, the kaiju, the arthouse mutants, the Freudian mecha or the good old Japanese Cold doesn't get you, a truck probably will.

At least a werewolf magical Gal and her bespectacled little friend didn't do you in. That would just be weird. Crossovers are no good. Unless you were a magical girl yourself, then it's an occupational hazard.

Speaking of which, are you a magical girl? Are you even a girl at all?

[ ] Yes, I am a girl that is magical.
[ ] Yes, I am a non-magical girl.
[ ] No, I am a guy that is not magical.
[ ] No, I am a guy...but I'm a magical girl. Don't ask.

Well then, whatever you were, what you are is dead. No more. Ceased to be. Your portrait will be framed in Buddhist black a few days from now. Truck-kun claimed another and your number was up. Sucks, don't it?

If it's any consolation, the impact killed you instantly, so it didn't hurt.

Anyway, how did your fool ass end up making out with the grille of an Izuzu made murder machine anyway?

[ ] You were saving a child on the road. How heroic.
[ ] You were having an argument with a BROB. I think the BROB won.
[ ] You actually did get done in by a magical girl. I guess a roadroller was too on the nose?
[ ] ...You don't want to talk about it. I won't pry.

Anyway, you're here now. Where is here, you ask? It's the opening screen. The place where we get all your basic information out of the way so we can launch you on a wonderful journey of discovery and vicarious power fantasies. A place where schlubs are reincarnated as great heroes* with cheat skills** and told to wreak havoc on a parallel world.

"That's absurd," you say? "Sounds like some shitty isekai webnovel," you say? Well you best start believing in shitty isekai.

You're in one.

Gender bending? Hell yeah. That just smells of misunderstandings to me, and misunderstandings usually make for great comedy.

[Difficulty X Selected! Dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed]

Oh. Oh dear...

I thought you were a girl. But you are a magical girl. How does that even work? Do you turn into a girl when you transform? Are you a man in a girl's body? Do you identify as a girl? If I've misgendered you, I apologize. Don't worry about it? Oh thank the gods.

Yeah, there are gods. Myriad, in fact. You're Japanese, you should know this. What's that? "You're born Shinto, live secular, marry Christian and die Buddhist?" So you pay lipservice to whatever being'll listen when you need ceremony or an excuse to go sightseeing? Maybe if you paid more actual attention to them, you wouldn't have had the misfortune to get hit by a bloody truck. Speaking of, you didn't answer my question.

...Nothing? You sure? Fine then, keep it to yourself. It must have been too traumatic (or embarrassing) to tell. Definitely must've been a system shock given the kind of person you were in life.

[Choose Your Personality]
[ ] Hotblooded [Apex Stat: Force]

[ ] An average high school kid. We get a lot of those. [Favored Class: Any]
[ ] A delinquent. You raised hell in life, now we raise you. [Favored Class: Warrior]
[ ] A hikkiNEET. Probably should've stayed indoors, huh? [Favored Class: Rogue]
[ ] A salaryman. You're too old for this shit. [Favored Class: Mage]
[ ] An occult maniac. You wanted to eff the ineffable; it effed you first. [Favored Class: Priest]

Ah, so that's the kind of person you are. As expected of TenCo; we really can pick 'em, huh? N-no, I'm not insulting you. Yes, I know it's pretty cliche, them's the breaks. There is little one can do to prepare for the unknown. At least you can work with the cliches, right? Although, given the difficulty setti-I mean the weight of your karma, you might not have a lot of those to rely on... But hey, at least you know there's an afterlife now! Pretty cool, huh? Huh?

Oh come on, work with me here. I know your consciousness isn't fully formed since you just died, but be a little more lively. Being a corpse is no excuse for being so stiff.

What's your name, anyway?

[ ] Hiiro Yuu
[ ] Tomomi Tsuruta
[ ] Ilya Degurechaff
[ ] Camille Asuka
[ ] Write-in

Cute name for a cute girl. Boy. Fuck. Are you blushing? You're totally blushing! What's with that reaction? You're going to awaken something terrible in me! Let me just...take five and process your paperwork, okay?

No, I'm not going to do anything weird with it! I'm a goddess, you gender bending jerk!
