Chapter 1 2D Affection System
Chapter 1 2D Affection System
Q: I just transmigrated to another world, and my surname is Uchiha. It's the night of the Uchiha clan massacre. What should I do?
Uchiha Ryo stood by the window, and a filial son standing on a telephone pole not far away had already noticed him.
[Anime Affection System successfully loaded; New Player Gift Pack x1 awarded]
This was the voice that Uchiha Ryo heard before he died, but he had already lost his last bit of consciousness.
[The new player gift pack will be automatically activated, granting you a one-tomoe Sharingan, basic Three Body Techniques, basic Sharingan Genjutsu, and a random world resurrection scroll.]
[Host's life force is rapidly decreasing. Resurrection scroll in use.]
Itachi Uchiha left Ryo's house, but what he didn't notice was that Ryo's body vanished from the world in an instant.
.....
"Child, from today onwards, you are part of our family."
This was the first sound Uchiha Ryo heard after regaining consciousness.
When I came to my senses, I found myself being taken to a middle-aged couple's home. So... I'd been adopted?
"My name is Fujiwara Shigeru, and this is my wife, Fujiwara Touko. Do you have your own name?"
"My name is... Uchiha Ryo."
Fujiwara Touko patted Ling's head. "Ling Yao, what a lovely name. From now on, Ling, you'll live with us."
Fujiwara Shigeru chuckled. "Judging from Xiaoling's age, she should be starting school soon. I'll go to a nearby school in a couple of days to inquire about transfer students."
Going to school? A ninja academy, huh...?
Uchiha Rin was stunned, but when he turned his head to look out the window, he was shocked by the scene before him.
He! Uchiha Ryo... has time-traveled again.
.....
Three years later, at the foot of a mountain outside Tokyo.
"Brother Ling, shouldn't we go back now? If we stay any longer, even Aunt Ta will start lecturing us."
The blood-red color in Uchiha Ryo's eyes gradually disappeared, and then he jumped down from the tree. "Let's go, Natsume. By the way, school starts tomorrow, right? You need to study hard while you're at Toyonosaki Academy. If you encounter any monsters you can't handle, remember to tell me."
Takashi Natsume nodded. "I understand, Ryo-nii. But you actually got into the prestigious Shuchiin University. That's really impressive."
[Natsume Takashi's favorability increased - Points +10]
Uchiha Ryo smiled but didn't speak. With his Sharingan, how could he be stumped by a mere exam? However, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes as he looked at Natsume.
Just last year, the Fujiwara family gained a new member, Natsume Takashi, a child from a distant relative of Fujiwara Shige.
And so, Uchiha Ryo gained a foolish younger brother, but this little brother was quite special. Because of the spiritual power within him, Natsume's eyes could see things not belonging to human society, yokai...
Uchiha Ryo originally didn't care about yokai, since he could only clearly notice them after he activated his Sharingan. However, after Natsume appeared, Uchiha Ryo began to investigate yokai.
As for why he cares so much about Natsume, is it because of this kinship that isn't based on blood ties? That's only part of it. The biggest reason is...
[Anime Affection System Now Available]
[The host needs to increase the favorability of a designated character in the system. Each increase in favorability will earn points (which are the universal currency in the system shop)].
Uchiha Ryo glanced at Natsume beside him without leaving a trace.
"System, what is Natsume's affection level?"
[Target: Takashi Natsume. Current affinity level: 84]
System, wait a minute! Didn't you say there would be a reward for each major stage increase in favorability? I've already reached over 80!
[Rewards are given at each stage; male characters require a favorability rating of over 90 points to receive special rewards.]
What do you mean? I'm a gentleman.
Uchiha Ling was righteous and awe-inspiring, but then she thought to herself, "Hey, I seem to have the Sharingan! It'll be easy to gain his favor!"
[Note: Favorability cannot be increased directly using illusions or other special abilities. If cheating is committed, the system will not provide any rewards.]
Good grief, they actually cut off my chance to exploit the bug.
Putting aside the issue of building up favorability, Natsume is the only person the system has designated in the past three years. Where is he supposed to find other people to build up favorability with?
The thought of reporting for duty tomorrow makes me hope that more characters will appear at Shuchiin to help me gain favor.
Once inside the car, Uchiha Ryo silently closed his eyes and opened the interface of the two-dimensional affinity system in his mind.
Name: Uchiha Ryo
[Current Main Quest: Increase the affection level of another romanceable character to over 80 points]
[Points: 130]
"My strength is far from enough, System. Isn't there any other way to gain points?"
[Note: Points are only awarded as a reward for increasing the affection level of the target character. Points can be used to unlock items in the system shop.]
Therefore, in order to earn system points, please make an effort to complete the strategy.
"....."
The next morning, Fujiwara Touko prepared a sumptuous breakfast and watched the two brothers wolfing it down with a smile but said nothing.
"I'm finished eating!"
"Phew, me too."
Fujiwara Shigeru put down his newspaper. "Ryo, Natsume, today is your first day of school. You two need to do your best, not only by studying hard, but also by making more friends."
Natsume nodded. "I understand."
Uchiha Ryo let out a burp. "I'll try my best."
Fujiwara Shigeru chuckled and shook his head. "I'm quite at ease with Natsume. But Rin, you're going to Shuchiin, that prestigious school. Remember to take good care of yourself at school."
"Hey, they're just some rich kids born into privilege. I'm not going to cause trouble."
Fujiwara Touko and Fujiwara Shigeru exchanged a glance. Although Uchiha Ryo usually performed exceptionally well and didn't require any academic attention from them, it was, after all, a school attended by children from prestigious families...
They were very worried that Uchiha Rin, a child who only knew how to study and was powerless to do anything else, would be bullied by those rich kids.
"Then I'll head out first, since Shuchiin is quite far from our house."
After changing into her uniform, Uchiha Rin grabbed her bag and left home.
Under the sunlight, Uchiha Ling gazed into the distance. Perhaps due to inheriting the Uchiha bloodline, he was very handsome. He had short black hair similar to Uchiha Shisui's, and those dark, bright eyes. In any case, he was quite satisfied with his appearance.
"Alright, destination: Shuchiin Academy, let's go!"
