"Congratulation! Your life is now a dating simulator due to a past player recommending you! Go and conquer SEVEN unique Heroines to clear the game!"

…What the hell?

The first thing I see when I wake up is a blue box floating in the air. Telling me that my life is a dating simulator.

Did someone break into my room and drugged me while I was asleep?

I slowly sit up on my bed then rub my eyes, thinking that my brain decided to be a pain in the ass in the morning. Nope the box is still there.

I flicker my eyes down to see two small buttons underneath the box, a "Accept" and "Reject" respectively.

Obviously I do the normal and sensible thing that any other person would do in my position.

I slam my hand down on the "Reject", with my face morphing into a satisfied smirk as I see the box slowly vanish.

Take that you stupid box! Who the hell would want their life to be a dating sim?! Well unless they are the degenerates that can't even talk to a girl by themselves or those who can't distinguish reality from fiction.

I slowly get up, only to freeze as I see –

"Congratulat –"

*SLAM*

"Nii-chan! What was that?!"

I blink then stare at the sight of my hand. On the wall where the blue box was. Then I fully register my little sister's word.

"Nothing! Your dear brother accidentally used too much force on trying to kill a fly!" I shout back before focusing back on the damn screen that came back mid-way during my shout.

"…You want to play with me, box? Alright, let's see who will be the last one standing and I can guarantee that you won't ruin my day." I press the same button again then head to the bathroom to prepare myself for my first day of high school as a first year.

*X*

"Bye bye Nii-chan! Good luck on your first day of school!"

I lazily wave goodbye to my amazing and most adorable little sister in the world, neck-length black hair and an ahoge in the middle of her hair that we got from our parents, though the ahoge is from mother, then paddle off to school with my trusty bike.

"Damn it, I feel stuffy in this… Luckily I ditched the tie." I use one of my hands to adjust the collar of the damned school shirt while using the other hand to keep myself steady.

"Co –"

"Sobu High… Hopefully none of them decided to come here… Get a grip Hachiman! This your one chance to experience the famous high school life those light novel keep hyping about!" I keep muttering words out of my mouth, in hopes of hyping myself up like those damn authors in cliché light novels.

I stop in front of a pedestrian walk since the lamp is showing red and I don't feel like breaking the law. Although, I feel like I can since there isn't any car coming since it's way too early in the morning. 1 hour from the time school starts actually.

"SABLE!"

I blink, seeing a light brown dog running towards me, then I see a limo barreling its way. Problem? Both of them will hit each other.

I blink again. The blue screen is back but how the hell is the limo right in front of me? And why am I holding – oh. WHY THE FUCK DID I JUMP TO SAVE –

Pain. Unbearable pain coursing everywhere. Then more pain. My body rolls on the street with rocks digging into my skins until I stop with my eyes starting to the sky. Then nothing.

*LineBreak*

"I am sorry, Hikigaya-kun. But there is a bone fracture in your right leg. Luckily there are no other fatal or major injuries, but you will need to stay here for three weeks for it to heal. Consider yourself really lucky since it's not unusual to lose your life when getting hit by a limo."

I woke up inside a hospital room with Komachi crying with snots coming out of her nose beside me. Then A doctor came in with a clipboard in hand then dryly talked to me before leaving the room, which is just what I want since I just want to be alone right now, Komachi excluded.

I gulp, finding my mouth dry as his words start to sink in.

3 weeks… 3 fucking weeks… That means everybody would already have their own groups, their cliques, their friends… While I will be alone. Again.

Hahaha… You know what? This is fine. Yeah this is fine. I survived middle school on my own. I can do that again. I can do that again.

Youth is a lie that society spits out after all.

…Well at least that damn screen isn't popping up again.

Authors Note

Welp, this story is about 8man getting the infamous dating sim power! I am surprised that I only found 1 story about 8man and the dating sim power (to my knowledge) so time for me to pitch my idea for it! Anyway, I finally used the Japanese kun, nii-chan, and all that honorifics, even though I am not comfortable at using it! Yay! Welp, I'll just take this as a chance for me to grow anyway... Or I'll just go back to using normal english without honorifics.
