THE CURSED GAMER

Chapter 33: Game (2)

—

I sat on the couch, staring at the ceiling.

I need to make a decision… and my answer was simple.

As much as I respect her choice of being with anyone she wants, in reality – I wouldn’t be able to see her be with anyone else, it hurts just thinking about it… Goddamn, when did I become a third-class version of Ereh?

Anyway, to me, the only drawback in an incest relationship is birth defection. I am sure, if such a thing never existed, most parents would provoke their children to marry each other by themselves.

In such a world, incest would have been the norm.

Contrary to that, in this day and age, incest is frowned upon more than before since the existence of quirks already increases the chance of birth defection.

But honestly, to begin with – I can’t see myself having a child, they’re just not my thing. Yet, even if things go south, with <Gamer’s Body>, everything should be fine. Right, system?

‘...’

System?

I exhaled. Must be busy blocking the curse-

[I am here, sorry for the late response.]

[Answering your question- yes, Master. Although your Gamer’s Body is very different from the OG, it still prevents you from experiencing any illness, and stuff related to that. Incestile birth is safe, I can guarantee.]

...Good.

Okay, then the answer is simple. I want Nejire. I want her to be with me, forever… Sounds so twisted, haiyaah. But there is no helping it, unfortunately.

When did I become a creep? A part of me answered – from the start.

It was then as a notification flashed by my eyes.

[A new Quest has been generated!]

[Quest Description: Nejire Hado, your older sister, is disappointed in you because of what you did with your maid. Currently, she is in a state of betrayal, disbelief and shock. This is the perfect opportunity to strike her – in case you want her to be with you.

Objective:

—Make Nejire accept her feelings for you.

—Earn her forgiveness for ‘betraying’ her.

Time limit: Before your first day at U.A.

Reward: [Harem Lord] Title, Tier Level-up Potion 2x.

Penalty: [Green Hat] Title, 50 points loss in CHA.

Do you want to Accept?]

[Y/N]

How does failing in getting a girl earn me the Green Hat title?

Anyway, that’s not the point. I am confident that I wouldn’t fail. The point is the reward. Harem Lord? Decent. Tier-level up Potion? WTF.

These are some great rewards. More so, the time limit is more than 2 years, I don't see any reason to reject this quest.

I clicked yes, nodding to myself. This is good.

Though, system, I wonder why I never got a quest for wanting to kill Gods? I usually get a quest when I decide to do something difficult. So why didn’t I get one when I first talked with UnknownGamer69? [1]

...System?

A long puff escaped my lips causing me to shake my head.

Well, I can ask this some other day. This is not important for now, the important thing right now is to come up with a plan on how to seduce my Onee-sama.

I need to consider this carefully. If this was any other girl, the seduction would have been easy since I would have most likely done it for pussy, but this – this is not about sex.

«—(★)—»

After that, Nejire insisted on returning to Japan. Neji and Kimi had to compile since she was acting stubborn, out of character even.

So they took a plane and left.

The only good thing about this journey was this. Neji had to fly above some countries to reach Japan from the US. When the plane did fly above them, all of the regions were unlocked in his Map. Now, he could see the dungeons in those countries.

Now one of his previous suspicions were clear. The dungeons aren't only in Japan. This would help him a lot.

Apparently, each time he clears dungeons, the rarity of the loot to be dropped decreases on that particular dungeon. So, while he can redo the dungeon after the 30 days cooldown, by doing the same dungeon constantly, at one point it would only drop food and stuff.

This removed that problem. He was in no rush for items, so he would keep doing the dungeons in Japan and gain exp for now.

In fact, that's what he's been doing. After getting into middle school, he has gained some freedom that lets him 'play arcade', 'hang out with friends', and 'sleepover at night' – which in fact are just excuses that he uses to clear the dungeon around the city he lives in.

Things were going fine, truthfully. But now he has an annoying seduction to do.

"Hey, Neji."

Suddenly, a mature voice whispered in his ears, causing him to raise his head from the book he was reading.

"Sup, Mom?" He asked, looking at his mother sitting beside him on the couch, her lips curled up.

"Did you and Nejire fight again?" She asked casually.

"Well, I guess you can say that." Neji shrugged.

"Hm, hm. Last time the fight lasted for a week, how long do you think it will last this time?"

Back when Neji had complimented Nejire and she kept avoiding him, their parents thought they had fought. They were wrong. And they're wrong even now. But of course, Neji didn't have a reason to correct them. This was better, in fact.

Neji made a thoughtful expression. "I don't know, maybe a few months."

"Wha-?" His mother raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes. "What did you do, exactly?"

Neji laid down on her lap and went back to reading his book. "It's nothing. Let us get it over with ourselves. Don't intervene."

"..." Gara hmphed. "Fine. Just make sure to not hurt her, mentally or physically. I will be mad, then."

Neji laid silent for a second before nodding.

«—(★)—»

Going to school was awkward for Nejire. She didn't like being in the same car that Neji and Kimi occupied, but she had no choice.

She noticed that her brother was trying to break her ice. She wondered, why. She knew both of them realised that she had seen them do their ‘act’. So did he think she’d tell their parents about it?

‘Stupid.’

Snitching on him is the last thing she’d do, even if he kills someone. She was disappointed yet again that her younger brother didn’t realise this.

“Neji,”

Nejire interrupted Neji, who was sitting beside her and trying to talk to her.

“No need to convince me into anything. Your ‘secret’ is safe, I won’t tell our parents.”

Neji froze and stared at her as she turned away, looking outside the window. She heard Kimi’s sigh while the car finally reached the school.

Kimi opened the door for her as she prepared to step out, but the boy jumped at her and hugged her tight.

“Thanks!”

She frowned and looked away.

‘Idiot.’

Pushing him away, she walked away with fast steps.

….

As she left, Neji leaned back on the seat with Kimi looking at him from the front seat.

“You are seriously going after your sister?”

“Shut up.”

Neji realised something funny. ‘So she thinks I was trying to convince her about not snitching? Heh.’

He wondered how she’d react when she realises her younger brother is actually trying to make her fall for him...

‘I guess it’s time to approach more openly.’

“Kimi,” Neji called staring at her. “I need assistance.”

«—{★}—»

Nighttime,

“What the…”

Sitting on the bed while pulling her hair, Nejire was freaking out. She had no idea how things turned this way.

It’s been a few months since that incident.

She still acts cold outside, but inside she was starting to get comfortable around Neji. Yet, just then, this happened.

It was nighttime, and Kimi was helping Neji with his homework. Today, both their parents were out, so Nejire got suspicious that Kimi and Neji might start fucking again. She said she wouldn’t snitch, but that doesn’t mean she likes knowing they’re fucking under the same roof.

So she started eavesdropping on their door, and she was surprised to find they were just doing homework, and nothing more. She was about to return with a clean mind when she heard this.

“Do you really like Nejire?”

It was Kimi’s voice.

“Don’t ask stupid questions. She’s my older sister. Of course, I like her.”

Neji’s voice answered.

“No I mean… like, as in, do you love her? Romantically, I mean.”

“...Maybe? I don’t know. She's a good wife material, I like her smile, I like the way she talks without caring about anyone’s feelings. I like the curious side of her personality…”

“Oh, that’s more like admiring her than having romantic emotions.”

“...I’ve been with her ever since I was born, I have enough affection for her, mind you. So I honestly don’t mind her as a lover. The only problem is, she doesn’t see me the same way...” After a short silence, he continued. “Well, if she is fine, I don’t mind furthering our relationship.”

“Though… she’s been acting cold lately. I think she hates me, more than you. At this stage, the only way to make her see me in a romantic light is to seduce her-”

She had run away after hearing this.

She only had one thing to say on all this. “That scum.”

More so, seducing her, he said...

He already has Kimi, yet he wants her too?? What does he think of himself, a Harem King from some ecchi manga?

“Delusional!”

She wanted to teach that fucker a lesson for thinking of her like that. They were siblings, for god’s sake! How can he even think of her as a ‘wife material’??

His image in her mind was already low after she learned he’s fucking Kimi and his teacher, the same teacher - she recalled, to be a calm and strict one from her 1st year. And now, he was...

“Perverted bastard.” She slammed her fist on the bed.

….She recalled what she read in that thread, “Why incest is wincest”. It was the gathering of a bunch of people with a distorted mindset who sexualised even their own family. Was Neji the same?

“...No.” She thought back to his words again. He liked her as a whole, not just her body. He never mentioned anything about sex, either. “Does he really…?”

Nejire was suddenly confused. She recalled her emotions from a few months ago, how she felt betrayed after seeing Neji’s and Kimi’s act. It was a false emotion that was impersonating as ‘love’, she realised that after talking to a very close friend of hers.

“He must be the same as me from back then. It seems letting him travel alone wasn’t a good idea, I even assisted him... argh!”

No matter how many girls he’s fucking at once, he’s just a kid. Of course, he has false emotions. He must be mistaking his brotherly emotions as love.

If that’s the case, he was still savable, she believed. She didn’t want her brother to be like those creeps from that thread, sexualising family.

“I… I need to crush his hope, make him realise I am not interested in him at all.” She exhaled. “That should do the trick.”

It seems Neji’s plan backfired.
