Who needs real girls when I have the 2D world? Keima thought to himself as he played the latest dating sim game on his PFP. He was on his way home after school and as usual, was unaware of his surroundings. If only I had more time to dedicate to these girls, I would become a better God of Conquest.

A small white creature, similar to that of a cat, had focused its attention upon the young boy. It flicked its tail back and forth, acting as if it were excited to find its new prey, though emotions were impossible for the creature to ever show.

Its shadow appeared next to Keima's as he walked down the street to his home, noticing this shadow Keima decided to look behind him, since the shadow didn't seem like any animal he's seen before. Pausing his game and looking over his shoulder, nothing was there. No small animal to cast a shadow.

Keima shrugged this off as nothing. It could have been his mind playing tricks on him. He was playing the new Mahou shoujo Kazumi Magica dating game, in which the creature in the game had a similar outline to the shadow he just saw.

Why did that shadow look like Jubey's? Ah, doesn't matter. Right now I have to focus on conquering Kazumi's heart so I can move onto the other girls in this game.

Once home, Keima went straight to his room to finish up conquering Kazumi's heart. Of course, Keima played his game until he captured every magical girl's heart. When he finished, he turned off his PFP and was about to get ready to fall asleep, but then he saw that shadow again. The same one from earlier.

Keima instantly looked to where the shadow was cast and he saw a creature that looked just like Jubey. Whenever he played games for a lengthy time, never had he imagined a look a like creature from the game ever to appear in his sight. For a while, Keima just stared at the creature, until it decided to enter the room and land on his bed.

"What are you?" Keima asked the small cat.

"I'm Kyubey," It answered, though it seemed to speak through telepathy since it's mouth had not once moved.

"Hmph. Even your name is similar," Keima commented on the creature's name.

"You wish to play your games for eternity, do you not?" Kyubey asked, causing Keima to flinch. How did this thing know about his obsession with games? "I can grant you that wish."

"Ya right, I don't believe you," Keima said. This kind of thing never happened in real life. Creatures offering wishes. It's as if he were in a game of his own…Kyubey tilted its head.

"If you make a contract with me, I can prove it to you."
"A contract?" Keima asked. This was beginning to sound oddly familiar. Kyubey nodded.

"Yes. I will grant you your wish, but in doing so you must do something for me in return," Kyubey told the boy.

Maybe this is real, he thought. And if it isn't?What if this is a dream? Well, what do I have to lose? I have enough knowledge from my games to overcome any obstacle, so why not take a chance and see if this thing is telling the truth?

"What do I have to do?" Keima asked, slightly interested.

"Well, since you are a male, you cannot become a Magical Girl. Instead you will be given the task of what us incubators do," Kyubey explained. "You will be given the power to offer girls a chance to make their wishes come true. In doing so, they will become Magical Girls."
"So, that's all I have to do in order to play my games for as long as I want? Just grant girl's wishes?" Keima asked as he processed what Kyubey had just said.

"Yes. But remember this, if you do make a contract with me you will have to grant the wishes of girls. It is something you must do," Kyubey said.

"I see," Keima said as he began to think about Kyubey's offer. As he thought earlier, he had nothing to lose. Besides, this will make his life more game like.

"Kyubey, you have yourself a deal," Keima said, eager to be able to play his games for as long as he pleased.

If Kyubey could smirk, this was the time he would have done so.
"All right then, Keima Katsuragi. The contract has been fulfilled. You are now an incubator."


Note: Why did I write this? My mind is wandering away from me...Anyway, set before Keima met Elsie. I hope I got Keima's character right in this. By the way...Kazumi Magica is actually a manga series that's supposed to be a spin off of Madoka Magica. I just wanted to make a reference to that series. I'm not saying you have to read the series, but you can probably google this stuff just to see how the girls, and Jubey (another incubator), look like if you want.
