Chapter 1 – Episode 1 – Protagonist
The text appeared in white on a black background.
When I touched the screen, the welcome message to the Heroine app disappeared and a new message appeared.
[Confirmed that this is the first use of the ‘Heroine App’. ]
[Do you want to register as the main character? ]
“Registration of the main character?”
Well.
Maybe something like creating a new character or ID.
Thinking roughly, I touched the ‘yes’ button.
[ You have approved the main character registration. ]
[ Registration in progress. – 0% ]
A momentary loading time began with a message that registration was in progress.
I waited, staring at my phone.
Loading went faster than expected.
[ Registration in progress. – 100%]
[ Registration is complete. ]
[Congratulations on becoming the main character of this world, Mr. Cheon Jin-hyeon. ]
“To be grandiose.”
Registration went very easily.
I smiled and tried to continue touching the screen.
‘Yes?’
But at that moment, a question suddenly passed by.
‘Come to think of it, how did you know my name?’
I looked at the message. It clearly had my real name written on it.
It was also strange that I had not entered anything and had only pressed the “Yes” Button, but the registration was complete.
Usually, it asks me to enter an ID or, at least, a nickname…….
‘Is it linked with another ID?’
However, doubts quickly cooled.
These days, the IDs of large sites are well connected to each other. My petite brain was too small to suspect anything.
I passed the message by touching the screen.
[Welcome to the Heroine app again. ‘Cheon Jin-hyun’. ]
[‘Cheon Jin-hyeon”s current rating is ‘preliminary protagonist’. ]
“A prospective protagonist?”
If you’re a main character, you’re just a main character. A preliminary protagonist is something else.
[The ‘preliminary protagonist’, ‘Cheon Jin-hyeon’, is currently only able to use quests. ]
[ We recommend clearing quests to raise your rank. ]
Hmm.
I guess this was a tutorial.
I silently touched the screen.
– Pot-!
“Five.”
Then, the dark background disappeared and a background with a cute yet sophisticated design like today’s game applications appeared in front of my eyes.
The design is pretty good.
However, it was still a tutorial, so there was only one menu with “Quest” Written on the screen.
I touched the ‘Quest’ button.
[ 1. ( Not released yet. ) ]
[ 2. ( Not released yet. ) ]
[ 3. ( Not released yet. ) ]
[ 4. Promotion / Promotion Quest ]
There were 4 options in the quest menu. Among them, there is only one option I can choose from.
You have to do as you are told.
I touched the ‘Promotion/Promotion Quest’ button.
Then, this time I was able to discover the quest I had to proceed with.
“This is it.”
There was only one quest. A quest titled ‘Spare Protagonist’ → ‘Level 10 Protagonist’.
I touched the title of the quest.
– Pot
Information about the quest appeared in detail on the screen. I read the description.
————————————————– —————————–

————————————————– —————————–
“Well?”
After reading the description of the quest, a question appeared on my face.
What.
Go on a date with a girl, kiss her? It was an unexpected quest.
“Ah…… ! Come to think of it, this app.”
It was called ‘Heroine App’.
I expressed my doubts with a question mark on my face, but I was convinced when I remembered the name of the app.
As the name of the heroine app suggests, this application… It seemed like an unreasonable application.
‘That’s not bad either.’
I read the quest in detail once again.
I didn’t hate it if it was unpredictable.
I am Cheon Jin-hyun.
I was living in middle school, boys high school, military, tech tree, and now working part-time.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get on the Tech Tree at the College of Engineering, but he didn’t even know the ‘Lee Eung’ character of ‘Love’, and he was living a legendary life that ended with going to school holding hands with a girl in the same class in the 5th grade of elementary school.
To me, ‘Miyeonsi’ is the sweet rain of drought.
Dating pretty 2D girls was like a gift from God to this new generation.
“Hmm. What about heroin Will it be pretty?”
Will you accept the quest? To the question, I touched the ‘Yes’ button without hesitation.
With a sinister smile, I imagined what kind of heroines would emerge.
[You have accepted the quest. The quest start reward is paid. ]
[The ‘My Page’ menu and the ‘Inventory’ submenu have been released. ]
[Please check the reward given. ]
“OK.”
Use the back button to return to the first screen.
When I came to the main menu of the Heroine app, a new menu that didn’t exist before, ‘My Page’, was added.
[ 1. ( Not released yet. ) ]
[ 2. Inventory ]
When I touched the My Page menu, two options appeared.
Just like when you touched the quest menu, you could see a menu that hadn’t been released yet, and a menu called ‘Inventory’ stood out underneath it.
“Inventory.”
When I touched the inventory menu, a screen lined with multiple blocks appeared, befitting its name.
5 blocks horizontally and 5 vertically for a total of 25 blocks.
At the top of the inventory, something was written.
————————————————– —————————–
[Heroine App – My Page – Inventory]
◆ Coins in possession: 0
◆ Items in storage: 01 / 25
– [ Random dating support option item box ( Grade : Tutorial ) [ Quest only ] ]
————————————————– —————————–
“The item arrived.”
This seemed to be the reward for starting the quest. I looked at the block again.
Of the 25 blocks, only the top left block was filled with a hole. It’s a treasure chest-shaped icon.
I touched the block filled with the treasure chest icon.
[Random Love Support Option Item Box (Rating: Tutorial)[Quest Only]]
◆ Grade: Tutorial (Level 11)
◆ Classification: Speculative Item
◆ Description: A mysterious random box that can only be obtained from the ‘Spare Protagonist’ → ‘Level 10 Protagonist’ promotion quest. When used, you can acquire an item with a dating aid option of 1 random tutorial grade that can help you in your quest.

3. Quest only

– When used, the item that came out also comes out with options exclusive to that quest.
– If the quest is successful, the option is deleted.
“There’s a lot written on it, but…”
In reality, nothing matters. As a result of reading it carefully, it is an item like a random box that often appears in many mobile games.
I looked at the ‘Use’ button at the bottom of the box.
“I hope something good comes out.”
According to the description, it was like a box where only items of a certain grade came out, but it was clear that the performance would be different.
I haven’t been very lucky in the past.
So I remember having a lot of trouble playing other games. These days, there are almost no games that do not have a chance to draw.
Nevertheless, the reason why such games are popular is also because there is a strange fun that the probability draw has.
How will my luck be in this game?
“Gandeuah~~!”
I touched the ‘use’ button with a pounding heart.
