……

Hearing the voice echoing in his mind, Akizuki Makoto's pencil, which was writing on the answer sheet, suddenly stopped.

"Click——"

After a slight cracking sound, a small patch of lead dust and a single diagonal line remained on the pristine white paper.

Akizuki blinked, brushed off the broken pen tip, and then took out a 0.7 mm pen refill from the pen case, inserting it from the front end as if threading a needle.

The large dot of lead gray was smeared and covered with a little force by him, and together with the single diagonal line, it formed an "A".

"An abnormal dating system?"

At this moment, Akizuki Makoto finally took the voice that had just appeared in his mind seriously.

Just as he was thinking about the nickname of the thing that had suddenly appeared, a pitch-black panel appeared in front of him.

Thus, Akizuki Makoto fell into deep thought.

First of all, this system—don't you think it's a bit too late?

It has been eighteen years since I traveled to Japan.

Eighteen years ago, he became a newborn baby, reborn on a remote island called Toriki Island in the Seto Inland Sea.

Then, he awakened his memories of his past life, remembering that one day on his way home from get off work, he was hit by a dump truck belonging to his partner in another world and turned into fragments of a hero.

Based on his experience of living two lives, he deeply understood a principle: knowledge is equivalent to wealth.

Therefore, from a young age, he gave up unrealistic fantasies such as awakening cheat codes, systems, superpowers, and encountering a blonde glutton in a warehouse who shouted, "Are you my master?", and studied hard.

As expected, he was intelligent and consistently achieved excellent academic results.

He achieved top scores in the city and top scores in the national college entrance examination, which led to his being discovered by the gifted education program of Myosheng High School, a private high school located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. This program caused him to drop out of his original high school and transfer here.

In exchange, the benefits are naturally excellent. Not only is his tuition waived, but he is also offered a generous scholarship to enable him to live in the expensive Bunkyo Ward.

Until a minute ago, Akizuki Makoto thought that he would rely on his handsome appearance, brilliant talent, unwavering great spirit, and extremely rich personal charm to reach the pinnacle of life and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman. But then a system suddenly appeared.

And it's a system that sounds really strange.

He could understand the dating system, but the addition of something abnormal made it harder for him to comprehend.

He tried to activate the panel with his mind, and it actually worked. A user manual and instructions immediately appeared before his eyes.

He roughly understood the instructions; it was the same voice that rang in his mind when he first awakened the system, the key being the densely packed terms and conditions.

"Note 1: Abnormal women refer to those with unusual personality traits and abilities, such as being yandere, having sensitive personality traits, being sexist, having a penchant for women, being perverted, having a dark side, being paranoid, having a penchant for voyeurism, or being a stalker..."

Abilities include: time stop, hypnosis, coercive commands, invisibility, transformation, charm...

After reading the first instruction, Akizuki Makoto fell silent.

The trench's living family system, I have a question about it.

Is it because he's been so successful and radiant in his life that they gave him this system?

If you were to be targeted by a woman with an abnormal personality and superpowers, you'd be doomed for life.

At this moment, Akizuki Makoto felt a pang of resentment at being too outstanding in this life.

Fortunately, the second thing to know is to explain to him that, out of consideration for basic human rights, players have a built-in damage reduction buff.

As for the amount of the reduction...

Did not say.

However, with this damage reduction buff, Akizuki Makoto can rest assured.

At least he doesn't have to worry about encountering abnormal women one day, and being targeted by them, being beaten to his knees, and forced to go back to be Xing Nu's fangs!
His expression softened slightly, and he continued reading.

"Important Note 3: Players will be solely responsible for all consequences arising from contact with women who are not considered normal. Please consider this carefully and act within your capabilities."

"Note 4: Players must keep this system confidential and must not disclose any information about the system."

"Note 5: This system may occasionally trigger temporary tasks and prompts in certain dialogues and scenarios. Please pay close attention."

……

A quick glance reveals that there are probably hundreds of clauses.

For the average person, they would probably lose patience after reading about ten items and quickly skip over them.

However, Akizuki Makoto read through each and every one of them carefully, until the last hundredth one, at which point the system retained the right to interpret everything.

After carefully reading it, he fell into thought again, mainly weighing the pros and cons.

Logically speaking, any normal person would want the extraordinary power that the system possesses.

So, Gul'dan, what was the price?

The price he paid was being entangled with abnormal women, which put his life in danger.

This is no joke. He knows what yandere, landmine, and harem mean. These terms are very popular in Japan nowadays, you could say they're quite common.

What's more, these people also possess superpowers resembling those in hentai anime. If you provoke them, being treated like a vengeful spirit is the least of your worries.

The worst possible consequence... as the system has already warned, beware of a woodcutter's knife.

"Ring ring ring"

Before Qiuyue Cheng could think further, the urgent school bell rang suddenly.

The teacher sitting on the stage adjusted his glasses and slowly said, "Alright, students, the exam is over. Class monitor, go and collect the test papers."

"Ok."

As the class monitor, Akizuki Makoto temporarily suppressed his thoughts about the system and stood up to answer.

Fortunately, he was already working on the last question when he awakened the system, which is why he took the system seriously after filling in the answers. Otherwise, he would have finished the test first.

"Hey, class monitor, did you find the test difficult?"

While collecting the exam papers, people would often strike up a conversation with Akizuki Makoto, mostly asking him how he felt about the exam and whether it was difficult.

Akizuki Makoto quickly responded to the people who asked him questions, collecting the test papers without stopping, so as not to waste precious free time.

"Akizuki-kun is really reliable."

"As expected of Akizuki-kun, Ming Sheng's perfect male god."

"He's handsome, academically excellent, and athletically gifted..."

Many girls in the class looked budding with romantic feelings when Qiu Yuecheng collected their test papers, their eyes practically sparkling with desire as they looked at him.

The boys didn't seem to care much about it.

When someone is so outstanding that they are beyond the reach of others, even jealousy is hard to come by. Not to mention that Akizuki Makoto also has a great personality and impeccable emotional intelligence.

He was not only the class monitor, but also the vice president of the school's student council. He was deeply trusted by his classmates and loved by students throughout the school.

In this way, Akizuki Makoto quickly collected all the exam papers at the last row of seats. With just a few more, he would be able to collect them all.

When he received the last student's message, he suddenly heard several whispers.

"Ah... I really don't want Akizuki-kun to get close to her, it'll probably ruin my good mood for the whole day."

"It's disgusting. Why can't this kind of person just disappear quietly?"

"Poor Akizuki-kun. He probably doesn't want to get close to that person either, but he can't help it, he's the class monitor."

Akizuki Makoto listened to the voices around him, his expression unchanged, and stared directly at the girl who was being criticized by her classmates and was sitting in the last row of the classroom next to the trash can by the back door.

It's not surprising that her classmates were so wary of her; there were reasons for it.

It's June, the rainy season, and summer is just around the corner, but the girl in front of me is wearing a black long-sleeved winter uniform with a skirt that reaches down to her calves.

She wore thick-rimmed black glasses, her head was down, and her face was covered by thick, long bangs. She exuded an extremely gloomy and strange feeling, and just looking at her would make people feel uncomfortable.

"Shiina-kun, here's your exam paper."

As Akizuki Makoto spoke softly, he reached out a hand to the strange girl named Shiina Maki, asking for the exam paper that she was holding tightly with both hands.

"..."

Shiina Maki kept her head down and remained silent, but when she was called "Shiina-san," her body trembled slightly.

After a while, she slowly moved her hand away, seemingly very reluctant to have her test paper collected.

"Hasn't this filled in the answers?"

Akizuki glanced at the exam paper and found that it was already filled with answers. He quickly scanned it and found that the answers matched his own. He couldn't help but laugh.

"what……"

When Shiina Maki heard a soft laugh beside her, she subconsciously looked up and met Akizuki Makoto's affectionate and smiling eyes.

At that moment, Akizuki Makoto couldn't help but widen his eyes, a very ominous feeling welling up in his heart.

This feeling is correct.

The reason, as he clearly saw, was that Shiina Maki's eyes, hidden behind her thick-rimmed glasses, revealed pink hearts.

"Time to stop!"

She moved her lips slightly, uttering two syllables in a voice so subtle it was almost like lip-reading.

The next second, time seemed to stand still—in Akizuki Makoto's eyes, everything around him slowed down.

Instead, a dense array of red characters suddenly jumped out of his sight and filled his field of vision.

I like you so much, I love you, I love you to death, I like you so much so much...

The dense, red characters swept in like a tidal wave, instantly turning everything before his eyes into these terrifying red symbols.

After the characters from all directions filled the classroom, they enveloped him, seemingly trying to devour him in this extremely twisted love.

"Player detected approaching an abnormal female; automatically bound."

"Protection mode has been enabled to mitigate the effects of abnormal abilities on players."

Amidst the vast expanse of red characters filled with love and affection, a pitch-black panel suddenly appears, standing out starkly from the scene.

As soon as the pitch-black panel appeared, the dense red text immediately faded away, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, coming and going quickly.

"An Abnormal Woman: Shiina Maki"

"Age: 18"

Intelligence: 8

"charm:?"

"Stamina: 6"

Measurements: 94, 60, 92

Personality tags: Pain fetish, born with a McDonald's superstition, perverted, paranoid, pathological.

"Character Information ①: He once wrote a love letter filled with 'I love you,' 'I love you to death,' and 'I like you' in red pen, and put it in the player's shoe cabinet."

Character Information ②: ???

Character Information ③: ???

Character Information 4: ???

……

Akizuki Makoto stared at the panel in front of him for a moment before realizing that he could move.

But what he can move are his thoughts, his eyes, and his facial expressions.

His hands, feet, and body, as well as the rest of his body, were as if they had lost consciousness and were unresponsive. No matter how hard he tried to move them, he could not move them even a little bit.

"No, buddy?"

Realizing his current predicament, Akizuki Makoto instantly turned red.

So this is how you offer discounts? It would have been better not to offer any at all.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss; knowing too much can be detrimental.

Just like now, Shiina Maki in front of him has already stood up, panting heavily, and is approaching him with hearts in her eyes.

"Holy crap, kid, is this the right thing to do?"

Makoto Akizuki watched helplessly as Maki Shiina walked up to him, stopped, and cupped his face in her hands, unable to resist in any way, only able to mentally complain.

"Akizuki-kun, I love you, I love you to death, I like you so much..."

Shiina Maki stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and brought her face close to Akizuki Makoto's, nose to nose, almost kissing him, as she poured out her twisted and crazy love to him.

"It's all your fault. It was because you gave me that gentle smile that I couldn't help myself."

"I wasn't planning to use this ability. I've been trying my best to endure it, but I really can't take it anymore."

"I love you, I love you, I love you to death!"

Hearing Shiina Maki's heartfelt confession to him from so close, Akizuki Makoto stared wide-eyed in horror, desperately trying to suppress his inner fear and keep his expression unchanged, but his pupils were uncontrollably contracting and trembling.

Fortunately, Shiina Maki did not find this strange. This was probably because it was not the first time she had used this superpower. So she was sure that after the time stop, Akizuki Makoto and everyone in the class had become unconscious human statues.

Even though Akizuki Makoto's pupils were slightly contracting and trembling from side to side, it didn't matter. The evidence was that his expression remained unchanged, his body didn't move, and his mouth didn't make a sound.

"Hiss...ha!"

After pouring out her twisted love, Shiina Maki grabbed Akizuki Makoto's collar, buried her face in his chest, took a deep breath with extreme infatuation and ecstasy, and let out a long, satisfied sigh.

"Ah~ Akizuki-kun's scent has always been so, so...exciting to me."

Shiina Maki murmured to herself, her pale, almost sickly face flushed with an unnatural blush, and her eyes became hazy and affectionate, truly captivating.

"Fuck, don't!"

A terrified Akizuki Makoto had no doubt that Shiina Maki was now a trendsetter.
