The first thing that Nabiki noticed was that everything was sepia, like old and battered photographs. She tried to move but her body wouldn't respond.
Nabiki looked around. From what she could see, she was in the hall of some european-style mansion. The decoration was unoriginal but classy. Apparently, she was also completely alone.
With great effort, Nabiki was able to take a look at her clothes. The casual jeans/t-shirt ensemble she was wearing before being sucked inside Ranma's laptop had been replaced with a nice business suit/short mini-skirt combo. The high heels and stockings were a bit much in her opinion though. Well, at least it projected 'successful modern girl' and flattered her figure at the same time.
"All right... Somehow, I'm inside Saotome's new computer. What now?" she mused out loud "I can't move an inch and everything's drab and lifeless... What am I supposed to do?" she asked out loud, wondering if the program she was stuck in would answer her.
Welcome to THE MANOR OF ILLUSIONS
A full VR H-rated romance game
"What!?!" Nabiki was suddenly liking this less and less. She had the sinking feeling she was not the player character here (and she was right, big surprise for a hentai game) but one of the NPC (Nookie Potential Character), which meant...
"Oh, no..." Nabiki understood that since she was in a H game, sooner or later, there would be sex involved "I've got to get out of here before that happens...!" Easier said than done as her body refused to budge in spite of her brain's panicked commands.
PLOT SUMMARY
You, the player, are a college student on vacation in the japanese wilderness. Out camping one night, a typhoon hits and you find yourself cold and lost in the middle of the woods. Struggling against the roaring winds and pouring rain, you stumble downhill and injure yourself. When you wake up, you are in bed with a gorgeous and sexy woman. She's trying to warm up your cold body through some very erotic means. Later on, you discover that you are trapped in a large gothic manor full of gorgeous women. The problem is, you can't get out. They can't get out either. But the manor's mistress senses the power of change within you... and if you help the ladies resolve their inner conflicts, you might just be able to return to your world with the girl of your choice.
Nabiki began to sweat. This wasn't looking good at all "Let me get this straight... If I want to get out of this game, I have to be bedded by the player and he has to choose me as his love interest in the end or I'm stuck here forever!?!"
EXACTLY!
Nabiki would have slumped in defeat if she had been able to. This was so unfair, so perverted and so... humiliating at the same time. After a few seconds of angst, Nabiki's cool intellect took back control. She couldn't get out if she went on like this. First things first, she needed a plan. Obviously, she was filling the role of the 'modern woman' in this setup, which meant she had most likely a starting handicap in seduction as there would be more agreeable character cliches arrayed against her.
The appearance of Kasumi dressed as a french maid "Oh my!" a few minutes later warned her that she would be pitted against other live girls and not computer simulations. And in the end, there could be only one...
Time seemed to be a relative thing in this game. Nabiki didn't have to wait long for the other NPCs to be 'sucked in'. There was also a man but he didn't seem to be the hero (otherwise the game would have already started).
CAST:
Hinako Ninomiya (adult) as the Mistress of the Manor of Illusions
Nabiki Tendo as the Modern Woman who says she does not need men
Kasumi Tendo as the Maid with a dark and hidden secret
Azusa Shiratori as the underage but so cute Lolicon girl
Kodachi Kuno as the Traditional Japanese Girl from the distant past
Shampoo as the Mysterious Woman who waits the return of her Love
Ukyo Kuonji as the Amnesiac Girl with many fears
Akane Tendo as the Spoiled Princess with a hentai mind
And Ryoga Hibiki as the Jerk who can't get any
"So that's my competition?" thought Nabiki. She chuckled at the choice of certain roles, Akane and Kuno in particular. This could have been amusing to watch but she was a protagonist this time. To lose would have... dire consequences. It would be better for her to get out in order to find a way to free the others. She was the only one who was intelligent enough, right? Right!
GAME START
Player: Ranma Saotome
Suddenly, color flooded the game's world and everyone was teleported to his/her appointed starting place. Nabiki's last thought was "I have to seduce or be seduced by Ranma!? This is a joke, right? RIGHT!?!"
Unsurprisingly enough, the other girls felt the same at that announcement (except Kuno who was here as comic relief, all-around idiot and thoughtless bastard).
