Let’s Play an RPG!

GM’s Challenge
Welcome to the Not Alive bonus stage!!
Today you have been challenged to a Roleplay Game… At least you were supposed to!
Let me emphasise the importance of the TA (time attack).
Your time limit is 6 hours.
If you pass this time, you will fail. So please be careful.
So without further adieu, GAME START!!

>>

This looks like the world from the Doramoe series…

I know it, but I’ve only played 3 times…

However, TA means we have to think about the shortest chart.

Mikami-kun.

>>

Why am I so short?

SFX: depressed

Well, you start playing the game as a child. // Normally, as your turn ends you enter adolescence.

>>

Let’s get to adolescence fast.

SFX: gloom

Y-you don’t have to tell me. It’ll be fast…

Are we adolescents now?

Y-yeah… Once we finish this event we will be, // but you have to defeat the strongest creatures here, so if you don’t defeat everything we can’t move forward.

Adolescence Stage

Small text: Work work. Human have to work if they want to eat and live.

Small text: I think I’ll go mad.

SFX: whip whip

>>

Ok! Let’s level up quickly! // One of this game’s specialties is that you can turn enemy monsters into allies.

Small text: This is freedom.

Of course it takes a while to get allies, but our luck is strong.

>>

Huh, what? Amamiya?

SFX: gloom

We’ve just entered Adolescence, where did all your energy go? // Why are you suddenly like this?

>>

Your face says it’s because you’ve barely grown at all!!

SFX: sigh

But isn’t this your normal height?! // What were you expecting?!

>>

SFX: get up

Amamiya has somehow gotten up.

>>

SFX: staaare

It seems like she wants to get taller. She’s looking this way.

Ok! Ok! I’ll think of something!

>>

They soon go the Annoying Knight as an ally.

SFX: annoying

SFX: annoying

Annoying Knight got off the rock.

SFX: dun!

>>

Let go, Migami-kun.

SFX: twinkle

I wonder if this is a good idea…

>>

Amamiya’s energy returned, and so their adventure continued. Until…

It tastes gross!!

>>

Even though we came all the way to this town…

>>

The 2nd special feature of this game…

Is the next event that helps your abilities.

SFX: bark bark

>>

THE WEDDING EVENT

SFX: ba-doom

Small text: Meanie

The annoying childhood friend!!

>>

SFX: sparkle

Or

The wealthy young lady!

>>

I must choose one to marry!!

This really is the ultimate decision!!

Or so we thought but…

>>

Because of the TA we must be concise with our time, so after considering stability and our abilities I choose the wealthy young lady!!

SFX: bong bong

We have no time to waste! Event complete!!

I lost!!!

>>

Hurrah~! (x3)

>>

I hope you’re happy.

Amamiya’s energy’s dropped again?!


Page 190

Sigh

>>

Amamiya’s battling is unparalleled, so we shouldn’t have a problem covering the time lost.

SFX: stomp stomp

SFX: light and airy

If we continue like this on the shortest course then we should be able to complete this game within the time.

>>

SFX: thump

What?

>>

Congratulations

SFX: ZZZzzz…

WHAT?!

>>

Ah, that’s right. To progress this section…

…The main character and his wife will have 2 children…

>>

Ah. I mean, it’s a game, so it’s not like I did anything!

>>

Amamiya’s energy dropped again, and the two entered the final stage without it returning.

SFX: zoom

SFX: noo!

SFX: rumble rumble rumble

Last Dungeon

>>

We only have 1 minute left!!

The last dungeon is right there!

SFX: beep beep

SFX: gloom

Is this the end of our hard work?!

>>

No, not yet!! I didn’t want to have to use this but… I have no choice!!

I hope this bet pays off!!

Hey, Amamiya…

>>

I’ve kept quiet about it until now but.

Do you know what the prize is // for clearing this bonus stage?

>>

It’s a forbidden spell that will double your height or bust size.

Called “Twice the Size”!

SFX: so exciting

SFX: Hurrah!!

I praise your bravery in the face of so many adversaries, here is your reward.

You got “Becoming the Demon Lord for a Day”!!

What?! Are you serious?! I’ve always wanted to try that!

>>

Mikami-kun…

SFX: threatening

Did you… lie… to me?

Wha?! This is… I… // Sorry…

>>

SFX: boom boom

>>

Amamiya’s trust was betrayed, triggering the build-up of dark magic inside to take control, becoming the Demon Lord that brought despair to the entire world.

SFX: Rooooaaaaarrr

Does she planning on destroying the whole world in just one day?!
