Chapter : Prologue 1
Reasons to Fight
"Just great," Leon muttered, watching a beetle the size of a loaf of bread crawl past his foot. "Reincarnated into a trash game world, surrounded by gold-digging nobles, and now I'm getting attacked by dinner ingredients."
The air inside the ruin was heavy with dust and disappointment. Leon Fou Bartfort, resident mob character, future baron, and current dirt-magnet, had no grand aspirations. He just wanted to survive in peace. Sadly, the world he'd reincarnated into—based on an otome game he despised in his past life—had other plans.
Why was he here, risking his life spelunking into ancient ruins with nothing but a rusty sword, a half-functioning drone, and caffeine withdrawal?
Simple. Marriage.
In this matriarchal society, his options as a low-ranked noble were to marry an old hag with five children and a suspicious mustache, or die alone in debt.
"No offense to widowed noblewomen," he grumbled, crawling through a tunnel, "but I still have standards of age limit."
A flickering console ahead drew his attention. Most ruins held ancient artifacts, or even floating islands, but Leon was here for something far more valuable: a "Lost Item luxion super cheat item in game" the kingdom is an Advanture Kingdom almost all noble and royalty is decedent of an Advanture. If he could bring one back, he'd earn a title, land, and—most importantly—a break from this sexist nightmare in this world of dating sim.
"Come on, jackpot..."
Lost Item? But That Android...
The "Lost Item" wasn't just a treasure. It was a weapon of mass destruction?!
It was a coffin-shaped pod with a single red light blinking faintly on the surface. Leon approached cautiously, sword drawn. "Please don't be another killer robot. I already fought two on the way in, and my pants still smell like plasma. almots loat his family jewels dodge the beam from one of the robot"
He pressed a button on the machine panels and a few DNA scanning(he just follow the instructions on the panel).
The pod hissed open, and out stepped a tall woman clad in sleek black, high-tech armor. A white blindfold covered her eyes, and her white hair framed a face that looked just human enough to be unsettling.
"...Boot sequence complete. Identity confirmed. designated Commander White, YoRHa Unit 00, have being demoted into Vice-Commander. Mission: Observe and support New Commander Leon Fou Bartfort."
Leon blinked. "Commander? Uh, I think you got the wrong guy. I'm not even the protagonist."
She tilted her head. "Reevaluating... Observation complete. Sarcastic tone. Low social status. Excessive complaining. Confirmed: You are the new Commander Leon Fou Bartfort."
"...Wow, even the androids are roasting me now."
White explained—somewhat begrudgingly—that she had been in standby mode for thousands of years, awaiting activation by an "Old Human." and Leon's DNA conveniently matching with Old human , due to his reincarnation, matched the criteria. Lucky him.
Still, she was powerful—far beyond anything this magic-powered world could comprehend. With her assistance, Leon easily finished clearing other ruin. And that wasn't all.
She led him deeper underground to a sealed command center filled with deactivated androids, weapons, and...
"Is that... capsules android?"
More than thousands of capsules have not yet been activated.
"Yes, Commander. Shall I prepare it for departure?"
He nearly passed out. He was going to be rich.
The Admission
"Let me get this straight," said the stunned guild receptionist, looking over the mountain of paperwork Leon submitted. "You two discovered an unregistered floating island, defeated three ancient defense systems, and returned with a few 'Lost Item' can we identify this report agains?"
Leon grinned, cleaned up and smug. White stood beside him in a sharp maid-like uniform, only slightly modified to not terrify the locals.
The receptionist hesitated. "And... she's... with you?"
"She is my advanture parner her name is White," Leon said. "We meet in our advanture and She also vaporized a wyvern in our first meet. She also be assisten in future and help handle goverm my island affairs when i go to academy."
White added, "I also gona iron his socks in future."
Leon elbowed her. "Don't ruin the intimidation factor!"
After some more report being made, leon made claiming of the island and become inderpendent from his household the report finnish and has being send to royal palaces by advanture guild, Leon will be awarded a title royal place in a few day. White immediately named new island their discovered into YoRHa Base Delta.
"You don't turn it into a military base right?. what means do you do to it?" Leon asked.
"No. But it sounds cool." "And it gona be only appearance to outsider our main base is kept secret."
Within days, she reactivated dozens of support androids, including Operator 21O ("Too efficient for this world") and a cheerful flying pot type H(healer)as an assistant but the pot wouldn't stop offering him snacks every few minit.
But something was off.
"I—I didn't ask for this."
"You deserve luxury, Commander. Your mood is 47% less insufferable when relaxed."
Leon covered his face. "This is going to bite me in the ass, isn't it?"
