Pierre stepped forward to the mirror, and his appearance made him take a deep sigh.
He was a bit skinny, had dark bags under his eyes, and looked quite ugly.
"Says love at first sight, but she ends up humiliating if I don’t approach her properly," he said, clicking his tongue.
"Show my status."
Pierre’s in-system world stats were different from his real stats, so since he restarted, everything was reset.

Roy was laughing his guts out at Pierre’s predicant. He didn’t want to believe things were always this bad at the start for Pierre.
"Top rating! Top!" Roy laughed heartily, comnding the system’s overall rating for the current Pierre.
However, Pierre smiled at the stat and said in passing, "I’m practically Roy with this."
Roy’s smile instantly froze.
"I should even dress like him this ti," Pierre thought and opened the wardrobe, and three clothing style options appeared before him.
[A: Loser Uniform Style.]
[B: Rugged Uniform Style.]
[C: Regular Uniform Style.]
"Nah," Pierre voiced in response to the open thought and chose Option C.
Instantly, he was dressed in a black-and-blue suit. Stepping out of his room, he left the house and t up with Suzuki Kyouno, his childhood neighbour, who looked a year younger than the version of her in the later levels.
"You’re never early, Pierre-chan," Suzuki said, her tone sounding imnsely condescending.
In Pierre’s vision, a panel appeared showing her information.

And the dialogue options appeared for Pierre to respond.
[A: S-Suzuki-chan, thanks.]
[B: Good morning, Suzuki-chan. You look fantastic today.]
[C: I-Im sorry, Suzuki-chan.]
Pierre gnashed his teeth in silence at the options before him and chose Option C.
However, Suzuki just frowned and started walking ahead, totally ignoring him.
[-5 Affection.]
"What the heck?" Even Roy frowned. No wonder Pierre was always so an to her in later stages.
Whereas Pierre just sighed and followed behind.
Roy swiped down his face.
"I thought I wanted to observe the stages carefully, but there’s no need in the earlier stages. System, switch to real-world ti."
Imdiately, the scenes moved fast, and only the necessary parts of the playthrough were shown to Roy.
Pierre had already completed this level before, so repeating that wasn’t anything mind-boggling. He talked with the target, Watanabe Hinata, helped her do her assignnt, and more until she fell completely in love with him.
He also perford a side quest to gain money and a few love points.
But after that, he confessed his feelings and completed the other two objectives.
[Main Story #1 — Cleared!]
[Rewards: 1.0 Stat Points, 15 Love Points.]
The generated world fell apart, and the next stage was ushered in quickly.
Pierre repeated the process, investing in his stats, spending love points, and so on, up until Level 7, where Roy decided to return things to the system world’s ti progression.
Pierre opened his eyes again in his room, and a ssage panel appeared before him, read aloud by an enthusiastic female voice.
[Main Story #7 — The Heavy-Hearted Belle]
Current Stage: Class B – 2nd Sester, 2nd Year.
Target: [Tanaka Misaki].
Story Description: "The transfer student known for her perfect grades and colder-than-snow deanor, Tanaka Misaki, hasn’t smiled once since the sester began. No one knows, but she has a secret she is willing to take to her grave."
Difficulty: DIUM.
Objectives:
1. Take her out on a date.
2. Make her your girlfriend.
3. (Optional) Kiss her.
4. Learn her deepest secret.
Rewards: 0.5 Stat Points, 50 Love Points.
Final Remark: Love is forever. Good luck, Host!
"Back here again," Roy voiced, but then noticed sothing.
"Wait, his reward changed from 1.0 stat points to 0.5. Why is that?" He muttered, but there was no apparent reason.
Since he hadn’t witnessed the previous levels before now, he never knew Pierre’s system also gave 1.0 stat points initially, before downgrading to 0.5.
And having seen the previous levels and knowing what would happen in this one, he was certain this level was the craziest yet.
"I’ll start with this one," Roy told himself, biting down on his thumbnail.
Roy’s eyes settled on the Null Archive and clicked on the second item [Performance Rating Module], spending ten error points on this particular level.
This ti, Pierre had more love points at his disposal than the previous ti he cleared this level.
Arriving at the wardrobe, he saw three clothing style options.
[A: Preppy Uniform Style.]
[B: Regular Uniform Style.]
[C: Delinquent Uniform Style.]
"Whatever I choose now will be one of the options for Level 10," Pierre thought aloud.
This factor made him think more deeply about the decision he was about to make. Last ti, he chose Option A because he knew Tanaka Misaki liked nerds, but now he had to consider the Class Rep, Yoshida Aiko of Level 10.
"Tanaka Misaki is a nutcase. I can make her fall for regardless of what I wear," he told himself and chose Option C.
Instantly, the delinquent style uniform appeared on his body. The idea moving forward was to have a varied set of options at the final stage. For example, regular style was not significantly different from preppy and school-prince styles, whereas delinquent style was clearly distinct.
Another thing was that the clothes he chose influenced his dialogue options when conversing with other characters in LOVE.exe.
Roy calmly watched things happen.
Pierre left his ho and t Suzuki Kyuono.
"Pi-senpai!!! You’re late again!" The cute girl pointed, pouting too.
Pierre ignored her character information and went straight for the dialogue options.
[A: Why did you wait for ?]
[B: I’m not late. You’re just early.]
[C: Ignore and walk ahead.]
Last ti, he chose Option C; this ti, he chose Option A.
In response, Suzuki blushed and pouted, then pointed and said, "Don’t act like you don’t know, Pi-senpai!"
Unwilling to put up with this unnecessary drama, Roy quickly changed the ti conversion to the real world.
[Day 1: There’s a transfer student by the na Tanaka Misaki, and her desk is just to your left. After school, you resu activities as the Vice President of the Literature Club and host a welco back picnic.]
[...]
A short ti later, Tanaka Misaki stepped closer to Pierre and whispered in his ear on the school rooftop, "...I killed my last boyfriend."
And from that, she stabbed him repeatedly, saying so crazy things to boot. But ended it all with:
"If you love , please die for ."
[Main Story #7 — Cleared!]
[Rewards: 0.5 Stat Points, 50 Love Points.]
For Roy, a dark blue panel appeared with new information.
[Level 7]
[Performance Rating: 5/5]
His expression turned sour, and he let out an exhausted sigh. This obviously wasn’t the level with the hidden quest or boss.
