Yes! This is it!
How long have I been waiting for this!
Aaron practically did a double take when he realised that he had finally found it. In truth the reality of the situation hadn’t fully sunk in yet, but he could feel it slowly bubbling up to the surface as he resorted to speed reading the writing in front of him, his excitement just barely contained and keeping him from skipping ahead without properly reading the text.
No! He mustn’t get ahead of himself. Skipping ahead at this juncture even if he is certain of his success, would be the height of foolishness. No.
Carefully absorb the information in front of you. Read between the lines. Understand the motivations, the subtle contexts. That way when the time comes to make a choice you will be well informed and reduce the risks of catastrophic failure. After all, Aaron had simply come too far to fuck it up now, everything was riding on this.
He knew it!
There was another catch, another choice to be made. Evil mother fuckers. Aaron carefully mentally went over everything he knew. The lore, the history, the individuals involved, down to the smallest interactions and most importantly all his research notes he had made along the way. Much of it was of course due to trial and error, but he was no amateur. He could certainly draw on his own vast knowledge on the subject matter. Aaron continued trawling through the mountain of notes, trying to tie all the knowledge together in his head at once for the final breakthrough, analysing all the variables and their deduced mechanics.
And then, he made his choice.
It worked! It fucking worked! Wait until his peers hear about this! He’s going to be fucking famous! The last week of his life was not wasted, everything led up to this moment, his lifetime of experience in the field, the support of his closest friends and the grueling week of non-stop work he had dedicated to this mammoth task. All for this.
Aaron stared at the computer monitor in front of him with a mix of pride, relief and anticipation all rolled in one. He was already getting a hardon as he stared at Sakura Miamatu’s pussy on full display as she sat on the bed with her legs spread. The cute white panty with a small pink lace rimming it still hanging off one of her legs. The shy but determined expression on her cute and most likely underaged face practically screaming how badly she wants it, yet how embarrassed she is about this.
Aaron had spent the better part of a week conquering every girl in this game, but Sakura had always managed to elude him. Several of his friends had tried their hand at it as well with no success. The prevailing consensus amongst both his peers and the online community was that Sakura fell into the category of ‘side characters’ and even though she clearly had to some extent her own ‘route’, there was no way to ‘get’ her.
To compound the problem of a lack of any information about finishing her route, was the fact that the maker of the game was a fucking sadist! There was no ability to create save games and no easy way to skip through portions of writing that you had already been through a million times so that you could get to the all important choices a visual novel presents you with to make different ones.
Aaron carried on reading through the text, hitting next each time and appreciating the imagery. Things were really heating up. The raging boner in his pants was quite a bit more intense than normal. It must be all the excitement of finally laying his hands on this final conquest, all the built up, tension, excitement and so forth.
Aaron could no longer resist the scene playing out in front of him and as quickly as he could, made sure his door was closed, then proceeded to practically tear his clothes off like a feral animal. With one hand on his manhood and another on the enter key of his keyboard, he began to execute his ultimate skill: ‘Ultimate H-scene participation’
He only barely registered Betty, the family cat stir a bit on top of the bedside table she had been sleeping on. One might think it weird to jerk off in front of your cat, but to be fair, she was asleep as was the case for most of her life, and well, he really didn’t give a shit at the moment.
Smoothly and effortlessly, reading the text on screen as the scene plays out, while admiring the imagery, occasionally hitting the enter key all the while wanking off like his life depended on it. It really did feel much better when it’s a girl you really like, also when the bitch had been playing hard to get for the last bloody week already.
As the scene reached its conclusion, Aaron was also approaching his limit.
“Aaah! Aaaah! Keita! I’m feeling really strange. Aaeeeah! I think I’m cumming!”
And with that Aaron was ready to blow his load. Only problem was, he just realised then at that moment, that he wasn’t ready. Shit! He had acted so impulsively he had not prepared a tissue or anything. He was about to spray his computer, or his notes, or his carpeted bedroom floor, or, or… Fuck!
Aaron tried his best to hold it in, as he practically dove for a tissue box. However, he never quite made it, and not because he jizzed himself either.
Apparently in his mad scramble, his foot got hooked on some of his computer cables.
Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers… suddenly his entire computer had come to life and started moving across his desk.
As Aaron hit the ground, most of his computer followed suit, but did not land on the carpet like he did, mind you, most of his peripherals were content to simply crash into his computer case, which, while resulting in a very loud and costly mess, would not have been all that bad on its own. However, the computer case in question was a nice fancy gaming case made mostly out of a dark tinted tempered glass.
And while this made the gaming case for lack of a better term, ‘a sexy beast’, it apparently was not tempered enough. The room was filled with the sound of glass shattering, electronics cracking, oh, and there were also dangerous looking sparks flying.
Thank god nobody was home today, otherwise Aaron would probably have either his mother or his sister barging into his room right about now to see what had happened. He has no idea, how he would have explained his butt naked erection with the backdrop of a destroyed computer.
Aaron’s worries however, were only just beginning. The pile of wreckage, had somehow caught fire! Flames quickly enveloped the wreckage, in large fueled by a number of his research notes that had joined the fray. Aaron quickly got up and reached over towards his bed and jerked the duvet cover off, flinging it towards the ever escalating bonfire.
Had Aaron had a little more presence of mind, he may have noticed Betty the cat had been greatly alarmed by the sudden crash of equipment and had immediately bolted for the door.
Had Aaron been paying more attention, he would have seen that Betty could not get out by the closed room door and instead decided to try her luck with the window. Even though Aaron’s room was on the second floor of the family house, there was a nearby tree branch that Betty had no trouble using to escape in the past.
Had Aaron not been so preoccupied with putting out the fire, he would have noticed Betty jumping onto the bed in order to reach the window, at the exact moment Aaron had ripped the duvet cover off and flung it onto the fire.
Aaron did however notice a flying cat just a moment too late. Poor poor Betty landed painfully on the pyre with a thick and heavy duvet cover that Aaron had already let go of, falling on top of her. Betty of course, being trapped in a raging inferno, began to desperately scramble for an exit. She did eventually manage to get out, but as Aaron noticed, by that point both her tail and some portions of the rear side of her body had already caught fire.
As Betty began to frantically run around the room with no apparent aim in particular, Aaron was left with the realisation that the duvet had only made things worse! The duvet itself had joined the ever growing list of things that were on fire.
Panic had been steadily welling up inside Aaron for a while now and had finally boiled over. The situation was already hopelessly out of control and the only thing he could think to do at this point was to go get water. His family did not own a fire-extinguisher, as was the case for most average careless households.
Aaron made a beeline for the door and flung it open. He charged out into the upstairs passageway and to the left. He had already forgotten about his erection that was still standing to attention, which led to the very unfortunate incident involving his dick, a door frame and a high speed collision.
Aaron could only grunt in pain as his vision was filled with stars. This did not stop him though, he stumbled down the halway a few more steps, the threat of the house burning down completely dominating his thoughts and allowing him to push past the pain.
In his panicked and pained state, he was unfortunately not particularly cognisant of his surroundings and perhaps this is why he did not notice the presence of a person until it was too late.
What the..? Aaron only briefly caught a glimpse of a girl whose mouth was hanging upon with a look of shock on her face. She did not seem to be staring at his own face however, her gaze seemed to be a bit lower than that.
Aaron managed to recognise her as Cassy, his sisters best friend that he had had a crush on for the longest time now. 'What on earth is she doing here?' Is pretty much the only thought he could pull together before his momentum carried him forward and he crashed right into her nose first.
He landed on top of her butt naked and with a raging boner like some ridiculous situation straight out of a manga. However, unlike a manga, she did not just lie there with a blank or surprised expression and had immediately started desperately squirming out from under him.
Aaron noticed as he quickly scrambled to his feet, that the look of shock on her face had been replaced with one of fear or perhaps disgust. He’d always suspected that she would never be returning his feelings and that he never actually would have stood a chance, but man, way to put a fucking nail in the coffin!

As they both reached their feet, Aaron had only barely managed to get out the words, “Cassy, I can expl-”, when he was spun around be the sound of a crashing vase.
Betty had bolted out of his room, thanks to the door that he had opened, and somehow scrambled up onto a small decorative table, replacing the vase that was previously up there. Aaron of course had no time to apprecieate the look on the fifteen year old girl’s face at the sight of first a naked boy pinning her to the ground followed by a cat that was on fire.
For a moment Aaron wondered if the curtains would also catch fire. The entire second floor passageway was lined by rooms on the right hand side and large victorian style windows on the left, each with large sweeping curtains.
Aaron would however not get to find out the answer to this question as for some reason the cat inexplicably launched itself from the pedestal straight at Aaron’s face. Was the crazy cat trying to kill him? Maybe exact some measure of revenge before passing to the afterlife? Who knows. Aaron could not claim to understand the mind of a cat that’s on fire.
Naturally, Aaron immediately tried to shield his face and twist away from the incoming flaming projectile, managing to avoid the cat which sailed through the air, just missing him. He did however feel something connecting with his elbow in the process. Shock ran through him once he realised that the area his elbow was currently in, should have been the last known position of Cassy's face.
Aaron spun round in a panic, immediately forgetting about the flaming cat that was still sailing through the air. He managed to turn around just in time to see a full head of long blonde hair disappearing through one of those nice large windows, followed soon after by a horrendous crashing sound, shattering glass and the rest of her body for that matter.
Aaron would have tried to grab onto her before she fell out of the second story window, but for some reason there didn’t seem to be anything underneath his right foot. Having not found purchase his right foot sunk much further into the ground then it should have and when it did finally hit something it was at a very bad angle and caused a lot of pain.
Aaron felt himself tumbling over backwards. Oh right. There were stairs round about here. Well... shit!
The world quickly spun around from Aaron’s perspective and the last thing he saw were some hard wooden stairs filling his vision and then… nothing.

Congratulations! Your are the lucky 1,000,000th visitor!
What the fuck? Is this some kind of dodgy website?
You have been enrolled in the hero program
Definitely dodgy!
Please wait, analysing users personal preferences to decide on a destination…
This is getting even dodgier by the second! You want to make me a hero but you don’t even know where you’re sending me! How irresponsible.
Destination decided
Don’t I get any say? And you know, the 1,000,000th person to die seems like a really lazy way of choosing heroes!
Analyzing users skill sets, life experiences, notable achievements and circumstances of death to decide on appropriate hero cheat abilities
Hahaha! No sugar coating it hey!
So... I’m going to be a hero in some fantasy world with cheat abilities. Maybe go fuck up a demon king or two and marry a princess or three. Yeah I know I just died and all, I mean it’s pretty obvious by this point, but by the sound of things it seems I’m about live the good life. Every friggin otaku-wanna-be’s dream.
With news like this I can even forget the embarrassing circumstances of my death you know. Like the fact that I traumatised the love of my life with my naked erection and flaming cat, before summarily elbowing her face and throwing her out a window. Or the fact that I died naked with a hardon by falling down some fucking stairs!!!!
Aaaaargh! God I would totally kill myself if I wasn’t already dead.
“So blue screen, what’s it gonna be?”
Class and starting attributes decided. Commencing transportation in 3… 2… 1…
The black void Aaron had previously been in, was quickly replaced by a blinding cyan light. It only lasted a moment however, before it faded away and a rush of information seemed to flood Aaron’s senses.
In the black void Aaron had no sense of anything, not touch, sight, smell, just… nothing. Now however he was inundated with them. The smell of the damp dewy grass his nose was buried in. The gentle morning sound of birds chirping happily as if psyching themselves up for the day ahead. And the feeling of a cool gentle breeze tickling the hair on his balls.
Wait, what?
Aaron quickly lifted himself off the ground only to notice that he was indeed still butt naked and he still had a raging boner. The blue screen must have transported him here straight after his death, either that or he was in some kind of ‘stasis’ in the time between. Aaron considered it for another moment before settling on the hope that his boner wasn’t some system granted status affliction and that it would eventually go down.
He began to examine his surroundings. The surreal sight of a meadow expanding into the the treeline in the distance, with rays of orange morning light sprinkled across the grassy fields, practically setting them ablaze. Thick patches of ghostly fog hanging in the air here and there.
On the other side was a somewhat rotted and water logged dark wooden fence that was lining a dirt road in both directions as far as Aaron could see, which with the morning mist still hanging thick in the air is admittedly not that far. The hard compacted dirt road formed by two tracks side by side, receded well into the surrounding grassy terrain and had clearly been carved out naturally over time.
As surreal as this sight is, after just having come straight from the city, Aaron can’t but help feel that it seemed perfectly natural. If there was not a blue screen having told him he had been transported to another world, he would not have known that he’d left earth at all. It could just be a typical terran countryside for all he knew.
Come to think of it, blue screen did not explicitly state that he was going to another world, he could literally still be on earth for all he knew. Of course Aaron knew too much about this ‘genre’ to put any stock in that particular train of thought.
Having gained his bearings a little Aaron finally paid attention to his ‘mental notifications’.
Congratulations, you have been transported to Exia!
Please enjoy your new life as a hero in a fantasy world
Help using the ‘system’ can be acquired by using simple mental manipulation. Likewise your ‘status’ can be accessed in a similar fashion

I am honestly too afraid to even ask. What the heck kind of a class is that!? I mean don’t get me wrong, it sounds totally awesome, for getting laid that is. But, I am completely naked, unarmed and broke; in the middle of fucking nowhere, in a strange and probably dangerous world. How the hell is that going to help me?
Wait. Just calm down. Deep breaths… deep breaths. OK.
‘Status’.

‘Chosen one’.
Perk: Chosen One Description:

No seriously what the actual fuck!
Aaron could swear he could feel a headache coming on. So he has what appears to be rather weak stats and absolutely no skills to speak of or even prospects for that matter. Just great.
Seriously, fuck you, blue screen. More like blue screen of death.
Aaron just sat there for a while enjoying the scenery of a gentle breeze creating rippling patterns across the grassy meadow. He quite frankly had nothing better to do at the moment. He did not know what to do or where to go and sitting like this seemed to have a calming effect.
All good things must come to an end though. The cool breeze as it turns out was more of a ‘kind of cold if you’re wearing no clothes’ breeze. Not to mention that his balls had already receded into the shape of tiny wrinkled raisons.
Aaron finally got up and picked a direction to follow. Keeping the fence on his left hand side he began walking down the road. Hopefully it will get a bit warmer later in the day, otherwise at the rate things were currently going, who knows, he may end up unlocking ‘cold resistance’.
