I walked back to my "base", an empty apartment room at the borders of Tokyo. It was simple: a whole apartment building just for me. It was kind of empty, though. I only decorated the biggest room in the apartment, where I slept.

Choose 1-

To be honest, I really wanted to make a personal gym, so maybe next day I could go to the nearest mall and get myself some souvenirs and furniture. I walked up the stairs, smelling an unknown scent. I got in position to fight; whatever was inside was not going to escape... I opened the door and saw a dude wearing pajamas about to jump in my bed.

"WTF, who are you!?" I said, holding my gun firmly, He didn't seem dangerous, but no matter what, I shouldn't let my guard down.

"Oh, you live here?" He said calmly while holding onto a teddy bear; he had dyed red hair and scars all over his neck; he was about 197 cm (6,4 and something) tall. He had a pale complexion, as if he hadn't slept for the past week.

"I am so sorry, princess, I thought this place was abandoned..this was the only room that looked safe tbh." He stared at me, looking deeply into my eyes; it gave me chills, and I felt my heart flutter at the action.

"Dang, you are hot," I said, looking at him up and down. Oh, wait, I just said that.

"Flirtish much?" He was looking away in embarrassment.

"Not really, more like honest," I said.

Deep silence filled the dark room; the only light that showed was the small fairy lights on top of my bead. I got to observe this guy a little more. His red hair fell into his face like a waterfall, his blue pajamas loosely fit his skinny body, and his shirt fitted him tight. Wait, are those Hello Kitty slippers?

"Sooo, since I'm hot and all, would you let me spend the night?" he said softly. "Well, you see, after I got teleported to this world five weeks ago, I have tried to find a safe place to call home, but everywhere I go to try to find shelter, it seems dangerous, as if it were the location of a game."

"Well, let's say I let you stay..." He jumped in excitement as if he had just won the lottery. "But what do I get in return?"

He walked closer and closer until we reached the door frame. I felt his breath near my face and looked up to see him staring into my lips. He got close to my ear and whispered, "A friend."

I punched him in the face and said, "No thank you."

"Ow!-- what I got nothing else to offer! " Plus, you look like you need some friends,", he said, sitting down in my bed.

"You know what. Maybe you could come in handy; are you strong?" I said maybe a hand would be useful for my shopping tomorrow.

"See for yourself," he winked, and rapidly picked me up. I was wrapped around his slim arms, which I thought would be weak and immediately drop me, but instead he was able to pick me up with no difficulty, which kind of surprised me. "So, am I in?" he said, putting me down and immediately lying down in my bed cuddling his stuffed animal.

"Floor."

"Wow, so rude!"

____________________________________________________________________________

Next morning:

We woke up early and headed to the main floor, where I had destroyed a room and built a kitchen instead. I served us some cereal with an odd-looking milk.

After breakfast, I ran to the basement department, trying to decide which car I would drive today.

I decided to drive this baby that I stole from that one vintage car store, and then I also brought a moving truck that I forced that guy, who never told me his name, to drive.

We parked in the malls, we walked in, and I immediately headed to the gym equipment shop, dragging my "friend" with me.

After like 5 hours of shopping and loading all the furniture and extra things into the truck, I notice a small store where they sell sporty outfits, and I decide to get some for the next game that I encounter.

After another 3 hours of shopping for useless stuff, it was finally time to head home. The sky was settling, which meant that the games were about to start.

"Stop!" I shouted when Nayako was about to step outside the door. During our shopping, I finally learned the name of this freak. His name is Nayako Hiroyuki, 22 years old. Studied in medical school. He was at a nearby gym in the center of Tokyo when he got teleported.

I grabbed one of his wrist bands and threw it outside (copying My Baby on Episode 6 Slay), and the laser quickly destroyed it, showing that we were in a game arena.

"Shoot," he complained mentally, crying, "Are you kidding me?" "I had such a long visa to enjoy, not again!"

We walked inside, noticing that a table was already there with the phones; there were around 28 of them. We both went near it and grabbed a random phone. However, when I scanned, I slowly turned the volume off because mine didn't say what the players had.

"Welcome Princess of Hearts to another game!"

Nayako noticed the lack of sound from my phone and approached me; he stared at me in confusion.

"What?" I said it with the calmest face I could muster. I didn't have allies for four reasons:

No one can know I'm a citizen or what a citizen is until the second game phase.I'll make many enemies.People would use me.It wouldn't be so fun.

Plus, if anyone noticed, I would have my privileges taken away, which meant I wouldn't have good food resources or a comfy shelter. Plus a phone; I think I forgot to mention I have a personal phone... It comes with the package of communicating with Mira. I hate Mira so bad, but I will take her place after she dies, so... I guess I'll deal with it.

Besides being a citizen, I was never able to completely know everything; I know nothing about what happened... I don't know how to get out, and I don't know how this happened, but I never cared to ask anyway, since this world is better than my other life.

When I came back to reality, I saw three schoolgirls walking in, new players. Ugh, why do we always have one or more new players in every game? It's so annoying.

"OMG, hi! We thought we were the only ones left here in Tokyo,", the shortest of them said, running towards us as if she was about to embrace us.

I got ready to punch her in the face, but she ran towards Nayako.

She ran and hugged him. Dang, she was short; the only thing she had to hug was the waist.

"OMG, you are Nayako Hiroyuki!"

I stared in confusion. Is Nayako a star or something?

"Oh, sorry, you are confusing me; that's my twin brother," he denied nervously.

"But you don't look like Sora.. he is a little more.." She hesitantly said, "Chubby."

Before Nayako was able to answer, more people arrived, and a bunch more joined. One particular guy caught my attention—a guy with a piercings. He seemed suspicious, and somehow I felt like we had met before.

"Registration has closed."

"You've got 30 minutes to socialize with everyone and make a group of four, then the game will be announced."

I looked around, trying to see what the game would be. If it's teams, it might be clubs, but it could also be a game of hearts for the socializing part. Or maybe it could be a game of diamonds or a game of spades. No, it can't be spades. I was so lost in my thoughts when I realized I was already getting dragged around by Nayako.

I noticed that he was talking to everyone, trying to figure out who he liked better for our group. Not the best idea; if it's a game of hearts, we are all screwed.

"Hey you!" I looked around and saw that one guy. "You look familiar," he said, grabbing my face. What does this dude not know about personal space?

"You look a lot like my ex-girlfriend; dang, I had good taste in women back in those days."

Was this guy out of his mind? I have never seen him in my entire life, plus he is totally not my type."

Time skips because I'm lazy.

I was now walking with Nayako, Nigari (that one insane guy), and that random girl who hugged Nayako. Nigari told us that 'his teammates are useless.' I knew he was just saying that because he thought we were going to play a game of hearts.

We walked around looking at what stores could be useful, and as we walked around, I noticed that the big lamp in the center hall was reflecting specific areas.

"The game will now commence."

The game is a scavenger hunt.

"Rule, Team up with your crewmates and find six treasures."

"Clear condition. Within the time limit of 3 hours, you will have to find treasures that are scattered throughout the room."

"There are 17 treasures left."

"Wait..then one team will only have five..only two teams will survive!" An old lady panicked.

"START!"

Everyone ran around panicking.

"Y/N!" Nayako screamed at me, "You don't want to die, do you?" He panicked as he pulled me away with him.

"Nayako... you are so stubborn," I said. "None of these people are smart enough to notice that the treasurer is pointed out."

"Ugh, will you just stop being so loud?" Nigari complained

And the girl was just there, confused.

I walked away and entered Spencer's. I walked to the back of the store looking for any outstanding objects.

"I bet those would look nice on you," Nigari whispered in my ear.

"Which one?" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

"This one," he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me closer to him. "Yeah, it definitely looks good on you."

WTF- .,_,.

Then I noticed a small crystal box.

"Found it"

The girl opened it and looked stunned. It was a small gun. "Umm, guys?", she said, looking scared.

"There are 16 treasures left."

You heard a gunshot not too far from there.

"27 players left"

"OH GOD!" The girl screamed.

I finally understand that this game is based only on death; not only do only 2 teams survive, but people from random teams die each time we find treasure, which means that teams will start losing members.

I walked away caring less, looking up, trying to see where the next treasure would be found; the next closest one was in Ikea.

I walked into the store and saw a group of guys walking around. They turned to look at me but just walked away.

I entered and walked around the area; "nothing," I frowned.

"15 tresures left"

"26 players left"

The last area that I was left to search was the bed areas. Is this game based on sexual stuff, or why is everything related to the devil's tango?

I looked under the beds, finding nothing but dust and a dead mouse. I laid down in bed tired of looking around Ikea. My teammates were nowhere to be seen, and the timer had two hours left.

Then I looked up and saw an Ikea roof lamp looking a little odd.

I tried reaching out for it but came to the realization that I looked so stupid trying to reach something that was clearly really far away from my reach.

I took my pocket knife out and threw it towards the lamp, and there, in front of my eyes, fell three more treasures that hold an arrow, a protective bra that Harley Quinn used in that one movie to prevent her from getting shot or hurt, and a code.

"There are 12 treasures left."

"23 players left"

I shrugged in realization that I just needed to get two more treasures so I could finally go home and enjoy my warm hot cocoa.

I walked out, seeing my teammates excited about the fact that I had found us three treasures in one shot. But Nigaris's eyes were the only thing that caught my attention; he stared at me as if I were some kind of valuable painting that we desperately desired.

As we walked around another random store, I noticed Nayako acting a little anxious when the girl wouldn't stop asking if he was the real Nayako. As one would think that being famous is valuable, Nayako didn't seem very happy about being overlooked by this random girl.

I looked worriedly at those two when I bumped into Nigari, who was trying to reach for yet another treasure. When I bumped into him, I saw him look back at me with a pissed look; however, oddly enough, he changed his expression when he saw that it was just me.

I stared confusively, wondering why the change in his expression

"what?." He said looking at me

"Oh, sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going."

He looked somewhat more generous and soft, but then immediately looked away and yet again changed his mood.

(W Rizz, Y/N 🤭)

"If you don't want anything, just don't bother me; is that too much to ask, Y/N?" He said it in a pissed tone.

"Are you on your period or something? you are so bipolar, Nigari!" I responded, annoyed at his sudden change of attitude, What's up with this dude?

"Can you not understand Y/N!" he shouted back, getting a little more aggressive.

He grabbed the tresure aggressively, and I heard a gunshot so close that I felt the vibration of it when it hit its target.

"There are 10 treasures left."

"21 players left"

I looked back, seeing the dead body of that random girl in my team lying on the white carpet that the store had.

I looked at Takashi, who seemed low-key happy about her death. I smirked and couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, then Takashi and I started laughing like crazy, which made a player walking by look concerned and scared. I think we traumatized the dude.

just one more treasure for us to find.

(I forgot to say this game is a game of four clubs.)

I looked up, trying to find the next spot, but noticed that the lights that reflected were now gone, which increased the difficulty.

 I felt my hand shake as my brain zoomed out, making me remember my mom and how she treated me when I didn't do something right—how she didn't care to listen to me, nor did anyone else, because I was useless, worthless, stupid, annoying, and...

My toughts were cut off as I felt myself getting hugged.

"I knew you were her."

I was yet again pulled when I saw that the one hugging me was Nigari, who pulled me to face him and hugged me with one hand in my back and the other holding my head. The only person who hugged me like that was... and that's when everything became clear. Nigari came to realize this before me, but we did know each other in the other life when he went to school with me. As we both got bullied but bullied together 3, we dated for a while; he knew my weakness and how to cure it, but he still turned his back on me when I needed him the most.

I pulled away, wanting to cry, but remembered that in this work I wasn't the helpless human being; I am the princess of hearts, and none should know my weakness. But these past two days, ever since Takashi came I became weak...
