Authors Note (Update:September 16, 2015)- This story has been renamed to "To Love Nep: The First Act". For the sequel of this series check out "To Love Nep: Into Darkness" over on the M section. Fair warning though, the sequel has a lot more mature themes.

Also, I just put out a story called "NENENEP" for all my readers that prefer a light hearted harem that's more true to the original Neptunia franchise. It's essentially going to be a romantic comedy with fantasy aspects, it's going to have a different OC and it's completely separate from the To Love Nep universe so don't worry you'll be starting fresh.

My name is Shin Arisato and I have recently just moved to Japan. I grew up in America the city to be exact my father is Japanese and my mother is American. They met on a business trip and have been in "love" ever since. Yeah right what is love anyway? It's just an false illusion..I know first hand.

Shin makes his ways down the quiet suburb of his new home just returning from school , dressed in a white dress shirt a dark red tie that he seems to be fond of and black school pants. His hair was black and slightly messy not too short but not too long his eyes were a dark hazel color and he had an average build just your typical highschool student in general.

As I walk down these quiet streets after finishing my daily routine of school I can't help but feel incredibly bored. In the city I grew up Japan was always given the stereotype of either being really weird or really fun. You would get these stories about how typical highschool student's like me would get into harems with insanely attractive girls. Eh I been here for close to a month and the closest thing to a harem I've gotten was a dating sim I bought cuz I was bored. See I'm not a weirdo who doesn't believe in dating real women it's just from past experiences I've realized that real women are too flawed. Not to mention I'm nothing special , so the chances of them leaving me for someone else are extremely high. I have average looks at best my build isn't exactly macho material I'd say my abdomen is the only thing remotely "sexy' about me as for height like everything else , average.

"Arisato"

A voice I've never heard before quickly grabs my attention , sounds like it came from behind me. I turn to address the woman that had called out my name.

"Huh?..There's no one here...wait.."

Shin takes notice of a small black box. He ponders to himself whether or not picking up the small package was a wise decision to make however his curiosity ended up getting the best of the boy.

"Eh , I doubt anything bad will happen if I just take a look'

Shin picks up the box off the ground slowly and then takes a deep breath before lifting the lid

"This is..a game system.?"

[A few minutes later]

Once that abnormality was all cleared up I finally made it to my doorstep , I entered the house and put the handheld system on a table nearby. Seriously who just leaves a system like this behind ? Granted it's nothing I'm familiar with like a Kingtendo RX or GameStation Rita. But it's flashy design is definitely worth a close inspection. Before that though I go to my kitchen and look through the fridge for my favorite snack..

"Pudding...score!"

Shin gives a smirk and a sincere look of happiness; something that the broody teen hardly does anymore. He then get's a spoon and sits down next to his newly found system

"First things first...wheres the on switch for this thing..?"

Shin turns the system around all over trying to find a button

"Does this thing..even have buttons.."

But just as I began to think I had been tricked into taking someones trash home the handheld consoles screen began to shine.

"Ehh..?"

All I could think at that moment was wow what a convenient little console this must be my lucky day...yeah right like luck and me have ever gotten along.

"Welcome Shin are you bored with your life? Do you wish to meet your soulmate? Would you like your soulmate to me a GODDESS?! How awesome would that be?!"

The overenthusiastic female voice kind of disturbed me to an extent not to mention the screen continued to only shine a bright light with nothing displayed nothing just light. Am I suppose to talk to this thing? I'm ashamed to admit it but this whole thing did seem kind of exciting..maybe this was a new game mechanic? A new trend? You could say I "live under a rock' for the most part I'm dense and oblivious to most things..heh maybe that's part of the prob-

"I'm going to take your silence and dumbfounded expression as a heck yeah!

I was suddenly snapped back to reality..damn gotta stop staring off into space like that.

"Ok ready ?! First stop PLANEPTUNE first harem member.. drum roll please ..GODDESS PURPLE HEART!"

Goddess...Purple Heart..? That was the last thing I heard before I got sucked in...yes literally sucked into that tiny screen..

At this point I didn't know what to think I was dumbfounded..fortunately for me as I was falling to what I expected to be my inevitable death I kept hearing this little voice...Was it in my head?

"Gamindustri , Here in this reality shift realm are 4 presiding CPU's or Console Patron Unit's whatever you want to say but I'd go with CPU it's easier on the tongue yeah?"

There's no doubt about it I must be hallucinating I've lost it I mean voices in my head? Falling in what seems to be an endless vortex? And now CPU's and what did she call it Gamindustri? What the hells going on , I struggle to come to grips with what could end up being my bizarre new reality.

"Each of the CPU's reside in Celestia a world separate from the Land they oversee"

Hmm are these CPU's the Goddesses she was talking about..with a name like Gamindustri as the realm this voice claims I'll be entering it seems like a spot on assumption.

"CPU Black Heart and her Land of Black Regality - Lastation , CPU White Heart and her Land of White Serenity - Lowee , CPU Green Heart and her land of Green Pastures - Leanbox ,CPU Purple Heart and her land of Purple Progress - Planeptune"

Looks like my assumptions were spot on

"Here the CPU's fight endlessly in battle for rule over Gamindustri. This battle is etched in history. This is the Console War."

What? War? And did I hear the word Console before that? Yeah no doubt about it I've definitely lost my mind.

"Looks like your destination has been reached Shin Arisato say hello to Purple Heart for me..well that is if she can even remember anything"

What? Hey!

But it's no use as I attempt to give my last statement heard the voice leaves me. Not only that but I'm hit with a very terrifying realization as the vortex seems to disappear..I'm now in the air...free falling from what seemed like the heavens...I wont live through this will I...heh I did ask for excitement in my dull average life...guess I got what I wanted..

"AHHH DAMN IT!"

Shin screamed in terror and anger a natural reaction for someone who seemed to be falling to their death

All I remembered was screaming out of fear and frustration..Next thing I knew I was on what seemed to be a solid surface. Did I do it..? Did I..cheat death? I struggled to get myself up on both feet despite avoiding death my body is extremely sore it feels like I broke every bone in my damn body ugh but hey I'm alive

"HECK YEAH!"

Like a mad man I start laughing out of joy. Oddly enough..this would be the first time in a while I actually acknowledged how much my life was worth to me.." Just then I come across another sight that brings joy to my heart..

"MY PUDDING"

It was as if luck and me have finally come to a truce. My pudding along with my spoon came with me into this strange world it would seem heh man life is good..at least that's what I was beginning to think when suddenly...A bright light shined from the sky. I was engulfed in it and then I blanked out.
