Transmigration

I couldn't find any games during my convenience ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠store part-time job. I kept checking my phone for games in between.

The search filter was for raising simulations.

"Especially something like raising a daughter would be great."

Why? Because it was fun, right?

How thrilling it would be to see the daughter grow and the relationships change.

"Making a perfect daughter is fun too."

I wanted to see a life that succeeded unlike my real life.

I didn't want even a data daughter to experience failure or defeat.

I wanted to make her the greatest person in the game, perfectly.

"Becoming the dad of such a child... hehe..."

The happiest moment is when you hear 'Thanks for raising me' in the ending credits.

"Achoo... drool."

While imagining the game, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠an interesting title caught my eye.

"Princess Raising?"

It wasn't a daughter-raising game, but it piqued my curiosity a bit.

The art style was nicely lewd, which I liked.

But the user reviews were the worst.

The difficulty was too hard. Many bad ends occurred. Did the developer not have parents?

Most reviews were like that.

"Wait, how hard is it that they insulted the developer?"

Curiosity arose, but I couldn't play it right away.

"Hey! Here, calculate this with this!"

Now, the rude customer who gets upset if not served had come.

I wanted to go home quickly and raise the princess.

When I returned home, I bought the game I had put in the cart.

[Empress regnant maker]

Fortunately, it supported Korean.

"Let's just take a look."

The game's objective was simple.

The player becomes the princess's exclusive butler and decides the daily schedule.

Whether to teach swordsmanship, study, or manage the territory.

The stats and personality would change depending on the choice, and the result would lead to the ending.

"You will become the greatest princess. Hehe."

Of course, this confidence was only before starting the game.

The screen showed the princess lying on the bed with eyes closed weakly.

Health checks, and if stress or bad actions exceeded a certain line, it went straight to bad ending.

"How am I supposed to stop the war."

There were times when the empire collapse bad end happened despite seeming uncontrollable.

Even if the territory where the princess lives is well raised, I had to watch the events in the imperial family with other competitors.

Normally, in a game, it would be a situation where interest is lost and quit.

"You are my exclusive retainer butler from today. Please take care."

But strangely, it had the charm to make one want to play again.

"The territory that became the most prosperous in the empire!"

The territory development system was also charming, but...

"Thanks to the butler, I was able to come this far."

The reason I could continue this game was thanks to the princess.

The fact that one action chosen would affect results dozens of hours later was also appealing.

"Let's go back..."

After the game ends, I had to restart from the beginning without saving.

"This round has good starting luck."

Each round had different basic conditions.

Only the princess's name, 50% stress, and neutral good/evil were fixed.

The rest, stats, personality, origin, etc. were all perfect random.

"Stop bullying already!"

Even when the game was going well, it got ruined, so finally I looked for the gamer's cheat, internet guide.

"This game is a waste, don't play it."

Since it didn't go viral, there was no Korean guide, and even overseas guides with translator were useless.

If you see the true ending, it would be the world's first.

"You are my exclusive retainer butler from today. Please take care."

Now, this was the princess's first line I had heard thousands of times.

Because I developed affection for the princess, I quit my part-time job and started immersing myself in the game.

Even if I died once, I had to restart from the beginning, but each time, it seemed like I could raise her better in the next round.

The more time I invested, the closer I got to the ending.

"If only I could endure this! Haa..."

When I was almost there, it collapsed, to the point of thinking about the game even in my dreams.

I poured 20,000 hours into the game with a light heart.

As a result of collecting all hidden achievements, gimmicks, and easter eggs.

"Awaken!!!"

After 21,000 hours, I reached the true ending of the female emperor.

Pure playtime of 875 days.

After pouring all that time, I could see the princess who had become the female emperor.

"Finally, perfectly cleared."

If there was anything strange, the princess never smiled once.

Even when receiving the territory, defeating the competitors, receiving the emperor's recognition and becoming the female emperor.

Never smiled.

In the end, I thought she would smile brightly, but again, her expression was expressionless.

"Finally seeing the true ending."

Of course, it wasn't particularly important now.

The feeling of filling the collection was so happy that it couldn't be expressed in words.

"Hehe..."

While happily looking at the perfect female emperor princess without any flaws, a new game alarm popped up.

"Hahaha, this is something."

Since it ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠was the first time the game company showed this much, the sense of achievement was doubled.

"But there is still a hidden secret ending."

"What?"

The moment I saw the next message, I was dumbfounded.

After all that hard work to clear it, there was still an ending left.

※ If you refuse, you can never challenge the secret ending again.

[YES] [NO]

I was left empty-handed, stared at the monitor for a long time, and naturally pressed the [YES] button.

I was going to play a bit and rest a bit, but I couldn't refuse permanent death.

I cleared the female emperor ending that no one has攻略'ed. Why would I bury this ending for life?

I was confident that no gamer would choose [NO] here no matter who came.

"Why is it taking so long?"

Should have suspected when loading time exceeds 30 minutes.

With the last notification window, I lost consciousness.

"Why are you standing in front of me blocking the way! Move aside now, butler!"

When I regained consciousness, it was a familiar but unfamiliar sight.

"You... are you ignoring me, the bloodline of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor!"

A young voice angrily scolding.

Light purple eyes. White hair with beautiful appearance.

The princess I had been staring at beyond the monitor for over 20,000 hours.

'Is this a dream...?'

I often had dreams of transmigration after finishing part-time, but it was different from usual.

Seeing the maid trembling in fear in front of the fallen princess in a harsh atmosphere, the thought of dream disappeared.

"......"

As I stood blocking the way, the girl's expression started to crumple.

Thinking it would be dangerous if I continued like this, I immediately stepped aside.

'Was it because I was a bit late? Stress increased.'

'What? Was it 90% from the start?'

I never had it exceed 50% at the start of the game?

Then, there was a trait I hadn't seen in the game.

Cruel and unyielding were often seen.

But the (G) in front was the first time.

In the game, it would have been a hopeless situation where I would retry.

'First, I need to reduce the stress.'

When it reaches 100%, it's direct bad ending.

I had to prevent that at all costs.

To understand the situation, I looked around.

In the princess's room, there were broken teacups and spilled tea scattered.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

On one side, the maid was trembling while looking at Adelia.

"How dare you...!"

Adelia looking down at the maid raised her small hand.

"H, Her Highness, that..."

The hesitant gesture moved the arm as if decided.

Crack

"Ack!"

Adelia slapped the maid's cheek who was trying to speak.

'Why is good/evil like this now?'

It should have started neutral.

'Was the viewpoint not the start?'

My head was dizzy with the confusing situation.

This scene didn't exist in the game.

'You called me butler.'

The only thing certain was that I had transmigrated into the player viewpoint.

Adelia raised her hand again towards the maid.

Before crossing the irreversible line, I had to stop the princess.

"Her Highness, please calm down."

I followed the tone the butler in the game used to write to Adelia.

"Get out of here, butler!"

When I blocked in front of Adelia, she got angry at me.

If this continued, stress would increase more.

What words would the tyrannical princess want?

I hesitated for a moment and gave the most flattering response.

"Her Highness, do not waste your precious time and leave it to me. I will handle it cleanly."

"Get out of my way. Move aside now! It's an order!"

"How dare you try to use Her Highness's noble body on something lowly."

"...Hmph."

With my words, Adelia's anger slightly subsided, and she returned to her room.

'I have to clean that place later too.'

Through the open door, I peeked, and it was a complete mess.

'Was my answer correct?'

Seeing the stress level close to 100%, my head started to hurt.

In the game, I would have thought this round was unlucky and immediately switched to another and restarted.

But now that I transmigrated, it's a princess with such traits.

'Still, I breathed a sigh of relief.'

When the tension slightly eased, the status window appeared stealthily.

※ Failure will result in forced bad ending.

Without my will, it was dragged and the words were coercion.

'Since I chose it myself, it's not forced?'

How to live, I was stuck, so I planned Adelia's growth plan.

"Hmm."

... I think I could do it.
