Secret Report 1:
Okay, this is really strange for me, so I’m not writing this down in my usual diary. Instead of the usual, where I write about what happens in the game, this will be my dream journal, which will be placed in the ultimate hidden compartment as my most secret report.
I’ve begun having some strange dreams lately. No, not the one about the family turning into zombies, or me flying over a parking lot-turned into a valley- populated by multiple blue aliens that look similar to a cross between an Uru’kai and those aliens from the Avatar movie. Those ones were awesome, by the way.
I’m talking about…well…strange dreams. Since there’s really no words that can describe, I need to tell you the whole thing.
First off, I ‘awoke’ in my room. Everything was normal. I went to the restroom as usual, and got ready. Then I went to the kitchen…and here’s where things get weird…
Ryuu…was in the kitchen….making omelets. IT’S JUST SO BIZZARE! He was just in the kitchen, making omelets, still dressed up like how he is in the game with his white robey clothes and long hair and stuff.
…and he was smiling.
No, not the demon lord grin, either! It was….like he was honestly glad that I was there-that I existed, even. There wasn’t even a spot of narcissism anywhere!
But, do you know what was even weirder?
….I was acting completely normal as if this usually happened everyday. O___O
Like, I’m absolutely CERTAIN that if that happened, I’d probably have whacked him over the head with a chair, screaming at him, before asking how he even MANAGED to get in my house….no, first, I’d ask how he’d be even able to exist outside of the game, moreover make omelets!

And, for some reason there were a lot of flowers everywhere, in vases. It was like someone turned half the house into a garden of flowers.
…The omelets were pretty tasty, though. He didn’t want to eat at first, just watching me, but I got annoyed and stuffed half his omelet into his mouth, forcing him to eat. Haha, his face was pretty funny-looking. It’s too bad that he decided to eat the rest normally…I’d have probably had fun stuffing the other half into his mouth just to see that face again.
And then mom and dad showed up, and things seriously became weird. They acted like Ryuu was COMPLETELY NORMAL. As if a six-foot tall pretty boy in white robes with long hair is anything CLOSE to normal. I can’t even! I just can’t!
Then Dad asks Ryuu about how his job is going, and Ryuu’s just sitting there, having a conversation with my parents while I’m in the kitchen doing the dishes. I barely even do my own dishes, much less everyone else’s. But I was there washing everything that Ryuu had used to make the omelets
….but it was strange. There were five pans, three mixing bowls, a cookie rack, as well as several stacks of dishes as high as flapjack piles. I don’t even think we HAVE as many dishes as was there by the sink.
And mom and dad are just talking to Ryuu, as if it was NORMAL. I am never going to get over this, it was so weird. And then my little brother wakes up and instead of going to mom, he goes straight to Ryuu, as if he were my brother’s new favorite person! I just…can’t even.
But, the weirdest was yet to come. Ryuu started playing with my little brother, throwing him up in the air, and catching him…but then his hair starts moving and doing the throwing instead, as if his hair were arms that he could move about as he wished.

While it would be awesome to have a power like that, I would never wish for Ryuu to have that. He’s evil enough already. He doesn’t need an overpowered ability like that…I get the feeling it would be really scary to be on the receiving end of that ability.
And then Sarah, my cat, comes in, asking for food. Sarah ran away years ago, from our previous house. We’ve already moved since then, so there’s no way she could find us. But, still, there she was.
And in the end, even Sarah accepted Ryuu as normal! Sarah didn’t even like being held by me, but she let Ryuu hold her on his lap the whole rest of the dream! Kuuh! I won’t forgive you, Ryuu! Sarah is MINE.
Honestly? Remembering it, I feel as if I had been replaced by Ryuu in my family, and I had become the stranger, instead, somehow. I mean, dad was still dad-and mom was still mom- but not only did they not notice me, they acted like I didn’t exist…
Yeah, that makes more sense, come to think of it. But, I guess I shouldn’t really worry about it. It’s not like Ryuu is real after all. I mean, he’s just an AI. And for all the virtual reality in game, it can never really happen…hmm? Somehow I still feel uncomfortable about this.
Well, anyways, after that, I actually woke up in bed, and then immediately wrote this down so that I don’t forget. I mean, this is the first dream I’ve had in a while! And I feel there was something important about it. I can’t really understand what it is, but I just feel I mustn’t forget this.
Ah! I remember now! RYUU! ALL FLUFFIES ARE MINE! I WON’T LET YOU HAVE ANY OF THEM!!
Probably later on down the road, I’ll find this again and look back on it for a laugh or two. But for now, this is super top secret!

The Fate Eater
What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.
