Starting the Day

Alright! I'll try to forget about the golden straw doll for now! Negligence? Maybe, but I have classes and things to do today, so I'll do what I do best in these situations... Procrastinate!! ... Hey, don't look at me like that, a straw doll gaining divine energy and (apparently) evolving isn't the weirdest thing in this house.

I mean, right now, Sara is on all fours next to me, acting like a frog and eating insects off her plate, all because of the random, twisted 'orders' that girl Kim left when she owned Sara before I legally acquired (stole) her.

Add to that Mom (possessed) lying naked on the sofa scratching her butt while drinking alcohol, and other straw dolls scampering everywhere. Frankly, I can accept it pretty quickly as long as it doesn't endanger my bab- ahem! —the straw dolls! ....Anyway, amidst this scene, it's good to see the 'normal' group of Lysandra the cat and Susie coexisting without strange behaviors in the morning.

So, after giving Sara some orders, pampering both Lysandra the cat and Susie, and helping Mom (possessed) get ready, I said goodbye to everyone, stuffing a large number of straw dolls along with Silver into my {dimensional storage pocket} to head to classes.

Now I know you're wondering, 'What's so important today?' Well, the answer is...! I'm joining a club!! How did that happen? Well, to know that, you'll have to remember all my failed attempts at making friends so far, and sadly, they haven't gotten any better. In fact, believe it or not... they've gotten worse!!

For some damned reason, Ken became much harder to perceive or notice compared to before. To give you an example, if before it was like looking for a forgettable NPC, now it's like trying to find a specific character placed just to fill the damn background! And what happened with the game? Well... I kinda got a bit carried away and... accidentally, just accidentally! I ended up founding a kingdom....

Before you say anything, it wasn't my fault!! I mean, I admit I was the one giving the options... but it was Raina who selected them! Though I also can't deny that halfway through I got a little carried away... more or less... Okay, fine! I got totally carried away! Are you happy?! But what do you want me to do?! Raina kept encouraging me! Besides, the other players I met were, in a word, 'peculiar.' After all, each one truly played as they wished, taking advantage of the game's freedom and the PC they got in the game.

How peculiar were they? Good question, as always, and to answer you, let me give you examples of players I encountered in the game. Starting with one who only left bad options for their character so that the character would willingly choose their own personal hell. Or, on the other hand, there was a player who communicated with their character, manipulating them to select the most twisted options, as if they were a demon corrupting an innocent. Final result? Seems they made their character willingly build them a cult...

Add to that, there were players who actually tried to use the disgusting NTR-mode PVP system to steal characters. It was obvious Raina and I rejected it while proceeding to beat them up. Though, I did manage to make one 'acquaintance' among that group of players. The other person controlled a character who was apparently a city guard, however, they turned him into a guy who goes around in a thong attacking others with his 'Excalibur,' which is why I attacked him the first, second, third, fourth, and ninth time!!

But in the end, we managed to become 'acquaintances' in the game, and before you ask why not friends? That's because it's definitely better not to get close or know each other in real life because of 'little phrases' he drops in conversations, like having a child, living in a mansion, or the fact about multiple wives. And knowing how this world is, it's best to turn a deaf ear and ignore it while keeping a certain distance...

But enough of these topics!! At this rate, I'll never be able to make any 'normal' friends if I only focus on the (apparently) vanished Ken, and even though I'm addicted to the 'Virtual Dimension' game, that doesn't change the fact that I'm not making any real progress in friendship. So, after a lot of thought, I decided the best solution would be to join a club!

But... which club to join? That question lingered in my mind for a long time until I finally found the answer... Deciding on the literature club!! Not only are there people to try and make normal friendships with, but it will also help me in my search for the other books to complete the mysterious 'diary.' A win-win!!
