I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim

Target

I admit that the nameless heroine in front of me is beautiful enough to captivate anyone.

However, this beautiful woman had dead eyes which feel significantly different from those of the cannibal rabbit.

It is so extraordinarily dangerous that not getting a knife stabbed in me felt like it would break suspension of disbelief.

Thanks to that, my heartbeat skyrocketed like the original Bitcoin value.

The “Heartbeat Addiction” triggered by her profound aura felt as if…

…I had fallen into a quagmire created by an eerie pleasure.

This addictive impetus I thought will only be applied in battles turned out to be more frustrating than I could ever imagine.

It compelled me to meet her eyes, as if opening my eyes to s*xuality for the first time.

Just like when I was held back from making a decision until I chose an option in a visual novel.

‘Dammit, is this the so-called multifaceted gameplay?’

In the original game, I could have ignored it, but now I had to converse while looking into her eyes.

I didn’t even dare use spatial movement or stop time.

No, I might have used it, but the current situation was too enjoyable, quickly breaking my will to do so.

In the end, I had to take a specific action towards her, not just ignore… so, I scratched my head to figure out a way to cope with this situation.

As soon as I thought ‘Should I answer honestly that I don’t know?’

The blue thread of fate that showed me the future during the battle with the cannibal rabbit formed the shape of the heroine in front of me.

As I decided to observe it carefully, the heroine shaped from the blue thread grabbed the front of my shirt, climbed upon me, examined everything, and then her expression hardened.

Soon, she used a return stone item to take me somewhere.

From that point, I couldn’t see what was going on, but… it seemed like stuff you would expect from a yandere was happening.

Yandere is always yandere. I nervously swallowed as I look into her unchanging dead eyes.

This time, let’s decide to answer honestly. The heroine formed from the blue thread kept interrogating me about something, then she blushed.

And soon, the same pattern like before unfolded.

She kept asking questions and dying once I failed to answer, her eyes rolling back each time.

This was not even using a preview of the yandere visual novel selection.

I never dreamed that I would use the power over time like this.

Regardless of which choice I make, I will end up marking my card with a yandere heroine….

The strange sensation and excitement that spread throughout my body like a mint scent kept growing every minute, every second, and I almost impulsively said I didn’t know.

I was so flustered that I had no choice but to choose the last remaining option I had thought of.

The problem is that this choice doesn’t see the future… but it’s better than being locked up!

“…Thank you.”

Saying sincerely without remembering or knowing, I made a model answer that seemed to know.

Leaving it to the future me, which can be called the secret weapon of humanity.

I trust you… the future me!

With that, I sincerely thanked the heroine who was looking at me with dead eyes, shining with will to live.

Whether it was right or not, I could move my body, and I immediately grabbed the cold can in her hand.

“Tsk- Forget it.”

As if she gave up on some kind of promise, she clicked her tongue.

Her face said she was such a fool for doing this.

I decided to cherish every action of her which was precious clues to me and gave her an awkward smile.

Seeing that it becomes an ornament when found not knowing, I stayed calm and opened the can with a clear sound.

Afterwards, I quenched my thirst with a refreshing drink that was remarkable.

Upon seeing that scene, her dead, red eyes returned to their normal state.

“I’m leaving.”

As if she had enough, she hopped down from the rock where she was sitting with me.

Have I managed to deal with this situation gracefully? With a sigh of relief, I downed my beverage.

Anyway, what kind of a promise had she made that can cause such a facial expression and to follow the stalker chasing heroines?

“Are you leaving?”

“Just stop talking, will you?”

With strides that indicated her irritation, she moved forward.

She mumbled as if she were telling me, “… before Jane takes down the jewel golem alone, we have to fill the damage meter.”

“Damage meter?”

“I wasn’t telling you, okay?”

She grumbled annoyingly, acting cool with sudden departure.

She disappeared like a flash through the mountains.

Irrespective of what promise she had made with the guy stalking her and other women,

she kept a promise she had made when she was young with Loxer, despite his crazy actions. This suggested a deep tie.

And no sooner had she vacated the place…

“… her name is Rica.”

Upon seeing the name ‘Rica’ appear in the jewel golem raid’s participant list, I swallowed hard.

Although I know little about the heroines themselves in this work, except for their combat abilities,

this is something I know for sure.

She has extraordinary physical abilities and mobility, which can be dangerous if you plan to launch a surprise attack.

In other words, things can get messy if you underestimate her.

Being one of the yanderes who are responsible for the thumping in ‘Heart-Throbbing Awakened Academy’…

“What kinds of promises did you make with such a heroine?”

Shivering down my spine, I crushed the empty can in a deep sigh and put it into my inventory.

What on earth has Loxer been up to?

Regardless of what the promise was,

as someone who kept a distance from yanderes out of fear, I drew the shining white double-edged sword that was stuck in the ground.

“This is not easy, not at all.”

If users opted to ignore any heroine who struck up a conversation,

just as when I fought on my own in this work, there wouldn’t be any thumping event from the yandere heroine.

However, when you are forced to act due to heart rate addiction, you can’t ignore the heroine…

Even so, there is no time to waste trying to find out about the promise.

“If you waste time figuring out what the promise is, it won’t just end with a game over.”

Being an action-packed game, there are countless enemies here and there to fight.

Numerous sudden events threatening the academy and the world are triggered, even in the ‘Cardiac Arrest’ – the highest difficulty in this game.

Then what would happen in an even more severe state of ‘Heartbreak’?

There would undoubtedly be a respawn restriction.

Being forced to focus on ‘surviving’ and ‘fighting’ is inevitable even before making the attempt to keep the promise.

Rather, there could be repercussions if you waste time figuring out the promise.

Especially, since I have taken over Loxer’s body who had a lot of nonplayer characters, I couldn’t ask for help.

In other words, I was in a situation where I had become a public enemy.

“I’m not sure what the promise is, but getting stronger is the priority right now.”

I stared at the tip of the white double-edged sword that was still sharp despite being roughly stuck in the ground.

Regardless of how significant the promise is, chasing after the heroine to find out about it is not in my best interest.

Rather, engaging in one more battle would be better for my well-being.

“If it were an urgent promise, she would have spoken up first.

After all, she too is busy surviving in a world that has climbed to an extreme difficulty level.

There wouldn’t be any time left to worry about some promise.

So, I intend to do as I did in the main work.

I will clash head-on with all threats, enjoy a life-risking bloodbath, and spend any leftover time training. I will fight head-on with all visible enemies.

A very simple and clear strategy.

“…Well, not that there aren’t any regrets.”

Ever since the rapid heart rate addiction, the idea of being obsessively pursued by a yandere wasn’t so bad.

The current reduced heart rate was not only disappointing, it made me feel as if I had suffered a romantic heartbreak.

But I have no intention of being a worthless guy who only pursues heroines from behind.

There are far more exciting things to do.

Even the electrifying feeling of fighting a cannibal rabbit smaller than a human was unforgettable.

I wonder how exhilarating a battle would be where the blood flows like a river and bones fly everywhere, just like the main work.

“Sigh-“

I swallowed my sorted thoughts with a deep breath.

All to become stronger.

I began to follow the map shown on my clothes, to hunt goblins, my next target.

Across the way, I could see five goblins projected through crimson and violet vision.

Judging by their weapons, it’d seem they formed a formation of tanker, warrior, archer, wizard, and supporter.

Indeed, befitting of the ‘Heart Break’ difficulty level.

Even the trivial starting monsters, the goblins, roam in a perfect combination!

“hehehehe!”

“hahahaha!”

“Hahehehehe!!”

Before they even notice me, the goblins aligned their formation and the wizard and archer prepared their hindering magic and arrows.

Just in case anyone might say it isn’t the ‘Heart Break’ level, in my future vision made of blue agony,

“Mwahahahaha!”

“Ha ha ha ha!!!”

Giant fireballs as large as a human’s head restrict my movements and the arrows draw the trajectory to penetrate my heart.

Through the violet and crimson spider web, even the incoming arrow and flame’s weaknesses are revealed.

The entire trajectory and vulnerability are exposed, and thanks to the Motionless Moon, my body knows when to counterattack.

My feet instinctively know where to step.

“Phew….”

I slowly let out a breath and, following the unconscious whispering sensation, I adjusted my grip on the sword.

Despite not using time acceleration, it seemed as if the fireballs and arrows were moving slowly, as well my body.

The fear brought on by the strong vitality of the opponents stronger than me is intoxicating my heart to the point of madness.

The thrill of risking my life and the pleasant shock brought by the rapid heartbeat addiction express themselves in a grim smile.

Thrills and chills that go beyond the game, touching the skin.

“Right, this is it.”

Drunk on intense sensation, I charged at the goblins.

###

A round moon rose in the sky and by the time day dawned, it was the fourth time.

From Saturday to Wednesday morning, Rocksa, who didn’t attend the academy and repeatedly took and completed solo missions from the guild alliance.

Because of his addiction to rapid pulsation and his nature to enjoy battles, he almost dried up the seed of monsters throughout a Galelurus area as he relentlessly fought them.

He got himself some energy recovery potions and messed up the Galelurus mountains for a few days, and in the end,

“Is it different from the mediocre bunch after all?”

He was face to face with a 10M tall Gem Golem.

It is possible to deal damage, but every time its health drops, it hides underground.

Not only this, while recovering its health, it summons numerous golems and changes its appearance location.

It even calls fake clones to the field as a stalling tactic, making this Gem Golem quite tricky to handle.

His body sparkled, made up of various gems.

It was sturdy like a diamond that seemed impossible to break.

Maybe because Rockser’s ability was so low, there was no reaction when he looked at him.

The awakened academy students who threatened the gem golem were all in the academy.

The enormous gem golem, now devoid of the need to battle, merely stood on top of a large rock, where the traces of battle were clearly visible.

However, the heart of Rockser, who was watching this, was thumping as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Due to the huge difference in power, Rockser’s instincts screamed to run away.

The addiction to heartbeat offered a thrill that was greater than the fear caused by the difference in power.

“Is there about 30 minutes left?”

With slightly dark red eyes, Rockser looked at the gem golem sparkling in the sunlight.

Thanks to fighting for his life for several days without sleep due to heartbeat addiction,

His ability increased overall by about 30, but from a certain point, it stopped increasing.

As the battle threat dropped due to increased combat power, the heartbeat could not beat as before.

Therefore, as he said, one of the mid-term evaluations of the awakened academy that ends in 30 minutes,

In order to finish the raid evaluation that scores based on the damage dealt to the ‘Gem Golem’,

And Rika, who was constantly texting their homeroom teacher asking why he wasn’t coming,

And the fact that she said that if she was late tomorrow, she should definitely come to the academy,

Rockser flashed his fierce eyes at the gem golem in front of him.

“Just stay still like that.”

Despite the fact that Rockser grasped the sword and took a stabbing posture, the gem golem just stood there because his ability was terribly low.

Rockser, who realized that using spatial power in a fight for life over several days, he could strike the inside regardless of distance,

He focused all his nerves on the three cores deep inside the gem golem.

It was easy to touch or strike things inside lockers or behind rocks,

Touching the inside of a living monster required tremendous mental and physical energy.

It was also possible to crumple or cut the spiderweb that goes between purple and deep red, which forms the object, with hands or a sword,

His Sword-Body technique whispered in his unconsciousness.

“Huh…”

In order to reach a higher state, instead of forcibly consuming a lot of energy to cause space-time manipulation,

He whispered that he should naturally melt space-time manipulation harmoniously into every single action.

That’s why Rockser practiced the sword with one goal in mind:

A rapid attack that cuts through the enemy faster than anything, as if time has stopped or accelerated.

The sword that cuts space just by wielding it as if it had used space-time manipulation.

The state of the Unified Sword-Body where the body and sword go up as he thinks.

The perfect harmony in which every single action causes time-space manipulation.

In order to reach the state that Rockser will reach and surpass someday,

As Rockser paints purple spiderwebs and bluish-real threads in his pupils,

He operated his energy like crazy while showing tremendous concentration.

Even in a state where he did not directly use space-time manipulation

He concentrated all the power of his body to go to the state where he can act as if he had used space-time manipulation.

And then…

“If successful, you die. If failed, I die.”

He pushed himself to the point of being incapable of combat.

Because if this attack fails, it’s obvious that the gem golem with the undestroyed core will attack him.

Even though he could kill the gem golem with time stop or spatial abilities,

To grow by pushing himself to the limit, and for the thrilling thrill of risking his life,

Betting on all the things that wait for him at the end of life and death, such as growth or death,

He focused on the sensation as if he was picking out only one strand of spiderweb from the tangled spiderweb deep inside.

Because it felt like he was disassembling a bomb where many threads were tangled complexly.

He listened to the dizzying thrill caused by his heartbeat throbbing like crazy.

In front of Roxer, countless consequences of his subtle changes began to appear, like threads of blue silk unwinding.

The number of cores that could be destroyed at once, depending on the method of attack, was sequentially unfolding.

Most of them were futures where the jewel golems had rushed him without fully destroying all three cores.

“…I’ve found it.”

Roxer, who had finally found a future where he could topple the jewel golem.

To keep that complex and subtle sense from being forgotten.

Without hesitating, he swung his sword towards the core of the jewel golem at once.
