Chapter 2 Becoming A Protagonist (2)
I was staring fixedly at the door in front of me, unable to believe the current situation.
"Is this really possible?"
Looking down, I saw that I was dressed in the attire of a guild master. The main color was white, with golden details adorning the entire outfit from the collar to the hems. The attire consisted of a long white tunic that covered my legs down to the ankles, with long sleeves extending to the wrists.
The tunic was adorned with a golden vest that had a row of golden buttons. The vest was cinched at the waist with a white leather belt that also had golden details. There were also a pair of white pants that were tight up to the knees and then flared out, allowing me to wear high boots that reached halfway up the thigh.
The boots were made of white leather, just like the gloves that covered my hands. The gloves had small golden details on the fingers, along with a golden line that ran along the back of the hand to the wrist.
On the right shoulder of the tunic, there was a golden emblem indicating my position as the guild master. The emblem was a golden circle with an eight-pointed star in the center.
Overall, the outfit was elegant and sophisticated, yet practical enough to allow me easy movement. It was clearly designed to convey authority and respect, and I couldn't help but feel a little imposing while wearing it.
Taking a deep breath, I leaned back and placed both hands on my forehead.
"I've become the damned protagonist."
I thought about all the problems I would face ahead, recalling the gacha story that I had seen hundreds, if not thousands of times, even though I practically broke the mouse by skipping through all the dialogue because I had memorized the entire story released so far.
As I leaned back, I began to shift in my chair and started observing the room I was in. It was a spacious room with dark stone walls and a high wooden ceiling. In the corner of the room, there was an elegant and simple dark wooden desk, which appeared to be the guild master's workspace.
The desk was of moderate size, perfect for daily tasks and managing important documents. There was a small stack of scrolls and books next to the desk, indicating that the master was working on something important.
Around the room, there were several dark wooden shelves filled with books, scrolls, and magical objects. The shelves were meticulously organized, with each item carefully placed in its proper spot.
There were also several large windows in the room, allowing natural light to enter. The white curtains were drawn, letting in filtered light and providing a partial view of the landscape outside.
Overall, the room seemed to be a place for study and work, with a calm and focused atmosphere. It was clearly an important space for the guild master, where they could fulfill their duties and enhance their magical abilities.
"What do I do now? This is all so strange, and I don't even know how to react to it," I thought, looking up at the ceiling.
"That voice... experiencing something never seen before."
I remembered the announcement that was infesting the entire internet about the new virtual reality technology.
I looked at myself and began to constantly open and close my eyes.
"Could I have gained access to the beta test?" I chuckled to myself.
A few seconds passed, and it was clearly silent. This is real and cannot be virtual reality.
"So, I ended up in another world. I'm really living out such a cliché story."
I started saying common words that are always present in these stories, like status, system, character sheets, among others, but none of them had any effect.
"This entity didn't even bother to give me a help system?"
I put my hand on my face. This whole situation is a complete mess. I'm trying to act like everything is fine, pretending to be just an ordinary protagonist, but how did this happen? What kind of world can exist like this? And why would a god bother to transport me to another world so easily?
I punched the table and leaned back until the chair turned over and I fell to the floor.
"Fuck it, I'll just be the protagonist of this story."
I stood up and rubbed my chin, remembering a question that everyone in the community had: what does the protagonist look like? He was never shown, not even in the animation. He always wore a mask when he left the guild to fight, and in the guild, his face was always hidden by a strange shadow.
Looking around the room, I saw a small mirror in front of one of the books.
"Let's find out how handsome I am to make all the heroines fall for this personality-less garbage."
A protagonist who never spoke, never showed his face, and never had a glimpse of his true personality, he was just an empty shell for the players.
"But who would have thought this bastard was so handsome?"
As I admired my own face, a memory came to mind; I had seen something like this before, but it couldn't be from the game, as it was one of its biggest mysteries.
[The appearance of the protagonist has been adjusted based on all the fanart that exists of him.]
For a moment, my body froze. The memories of fanart that appeared in his social media feed caught him off guard with content that was not pleasant for him, for two reasons: some fanart was very ugly, and others depicted scenes he completely rejected, like Furry and BL.
"I could have turned into a furry, thank God my luck was good."
"And why don't you give me a system instead of talking in my head?" I said indignantly.
[That is impossible.]
"Impossible? You just transported me to another world, and creating a simple system is too hard?"
At that moment, the voice disappeared. Initially, I thought a system would appear in front of me at any moment, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. The entity just seemed annoyed.
And with that, two days passed, and I just acted like the protagonist, not saying anything and just doing my tasks before going to sleep. In this way, I could understand where I was in the game now.
Being before the start of the main story, it hasn't begun yet, and that's why everyone around me is so easy to deal with. They just talk amongst themselves and don't even try to talk to me.
This is great because the protagonist hasn't awakened the divine hand in the game yet. The protagonist is simply the weakest of all, but in the story, it's different. It just has never been explained how this power really works, and that's my biggest fear because it ends up being the only thing I don't know what to expect, because the description just says [An unknown power that came from another world].
You damn developers could have done a better job. This is so ambiguous that I don't even know what I'll have to do when I receive it.
A few more days passed, and now I was sitting in the guild, looking at the files of novice adventurers I had never heard of before.
"They're so weak... How is this guild still standing?" I sighed disappointedly, putting my face on the table.
"According to my calculations, the main story should start in about three days."
"Finally, I'll be able to do something... I was almost dying of boredom." I yawned and fell asleep on the table.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the void of space. Before I could do anything, a bright light hit my eyes, and when I could see again, I was in a room with gray walls, with only a bed and a desk in front of me.
Although there was nothing else in the room, it was obvious what was happening.
"I understand, I'll check the desk."
For some reason, I felt my heart racing and a strange sensation in my body, maybe excitement? After being so bored for so long, this change of scenery may not be so bad.
But when I opened the first drawer, my blood pressure dropped, and a cold sensation covered my entire body because the disappointment was enormous.
The contents of the only drawer in this desk were just a bunch of scraps of paper with all my thoughts about the game, and on top of all these papers, there was a note written:
"It's not just you who's bored. Choose one of these papers. I chose only the best thoughts you had, thinking about what you would do if you were the protagonist. Choose one, and let's have fun fulfilling everything you said you would do."
Yes, this unknown entity was as despicable as me. All the papers in this desk would lead me to cancellation in the old world, including. Sort of like I got canceled, but I stopped thinking about it and chose one of the not-so-bad papers, but still not very acceptable. Possibly my sister would strangle me if she knew, but since I was already thinking about doing it since I came to this world, I decided to take advantage and receive the bonus that came with it.
[Chat, I'm gonna speak the truth, if I were the protagonist, I would have already gotten all the heroines. They're all in the palm of his hand, and the dumbass does nothing, just acts like an idiot doing whatever they ask.]
[Bonus: your memory related to all the characters will be greatly increased, and with that, even information that was not available in the game will be received in your mind.]
"Now I don't have to worry about what will happen after I reach the current point in the game. After all, the heroines are connected to practically everything relevant in this world."
I looked forward, seeing only a wall, but with an ironic smile. Given the whole situation, I just said what came to mind.
"Are you happy now? So stop bothering me and make me wake up."
