Infinite Checkpoint: No Game No Life

Before the game began, there were a few things to take care of... The necessary steps and preparations.

"According to number 3 of the Ten Covenants: Games must be played with wagers judged to be of equal value by both parties. Since the Queen entered her slumber by swearing to the Covenants, and the game is set up to make her fall in love with someone, then of course the wager required to win her love must also be set. You don't need to worry about that."

Plum explained this from the side, while Amira, the Siren standing nearby, nodded.

"Then, once you've decided to wager everything, please swear to the Covenants and touch the ice… After that, the Dhampir and I will activate the spell, using magic to guide Nangou-sama into the Queen's dream. To cast the Love Magic (Cheat), I'll also accompany you…"

"Wagering everything, huh? That's acceptable, as long as you're willing to accept everything I own and all the information I have. I have no problem with that." Haruya responded casually to the two beside him.

The representatives of the Dhampir and Sirens exchanged a glance, then began weaving the spell in perfect sync.

Plum's eyes glowed with intricate patterns, and a gentle breeze swept through the room.

Dhampir were skilled in magic, which allowed them to create spells as they imagined, making them extremely versatile Mages.

Logically, such abilities would give them a significant advantage in games. Now however, with their race's survival at stake, Plum was sure to push that advantage to the extreme.

As they were weaving the spell, Plum's wings which were as black as night began to shimmer with countless irregular red lines, completely different from the geometric patterns of Jibril's halo. These red lines, like blood vessels, gradually spread to Plum's right hand.

That hand slowly but intricately began to move.

Although it was a somewhat large-scale spell, Haruya, as a human, couldn't sense the fluctuations of magic.

"Haru-kun, listen up. Since this is a dream, the dream's setting can be freely manipulated. So, the world we're building will be based on your imagination."

"Got it. A world based on my imagination, huh?" Haruya thought for a moment...

When it came to romance games, it was all about the classic GAL games he'd played, like 'Tokimeki Memorial'.

After finishing his thoughts, Haruya took a few deep breaths and asked, "As long as someone makes the Queen fall in love with them and awakens her, that's a victory. If they're rejected, it's a loss, and the loser will be removed from the game and pay the 'everything' they wagered, right?" Although, this was also information from his memories.

Seeing Amira nod, Haruya gestured for Plum to carry on.

Once the everything was complete, the spell woven by Plum and Amira activated.

"Whoa?!"

Haruya's entire body was submerged in icy seawater, his clothes heavy from being soaked.

Floating to the surface, Haruya grabbed Plum beside him, using her as a lifebuoy, "Plum, hurry up and use magic to change this situation!"

"OK, OK, but don't use me as a lifebuoy! And don't touch me in weird places, Haru-kun!"

"You like this kind of thing anyway, don't you?"

"I refuse if I'm not the one in charge!"

'Why are you so stubborn about such strange things?'

Then, Plum used her magic again, altering the entire world.

Like bitter coffee sweetened with cream and sugar, the world shifted from harsh to pleasant...

The sea Haruya was in went from icy cold to a normal temperature.

Since this was a dream world, and magic was at play, making such changes... no, making such settings was easy.

Breathing became less difficult, and Haruya began to survey his surroundings, finding them similar to what he had imagined.

Even though they were underwater, the sky was visible, and the shimmering sea surface had clouds drifting across it.

Such a bizarre scene could only exist in a dream.

The uneven terrain was smoothed out, and the rocky, coral-covered seabed transformed into a school building.

The distant hills and roads were shaped from underwater reefs and crevices.

The tropical fish swimming around gradually turned into nameless students (NPCs).

In the blink of an eye, a fictional stage called Underwater High School was constructed.

It was a high school built in the architectural style of Océando...

"Now then…" Amira's expression was calm, as expected of a Siren, "The person who wishes to awaken the Queen must swear to the Covenants, wager everything, and then touch the crystal~"

Since Haruya was the only one present trying to awaken the Queen, he walked over and touched the crystal floating in the air.

"Aschente!"

The all-or-nothing conquest game had officially begun.

Before it started, a dull narration played…

Once the boring narration ended, pop music began to play.

Under the pink background of the Legendary Coral, a mermaid with long blue hair swaying in the water appeared.

That was the Queen...

The Queen, dressed in a schoolgirl uniform, danced gracefully under the coral.

The vibrant uniform clinging to her voluptuous body swayed with the water, further accentuating her sensual charm. The fish-scale tail extending from her short skirt looked utterly enchanting as it flicked the water.

The Queen's eyes seemed to be filled with melancholy, reaching out toward the sky as if she was eagerly waiting for something...

'All this just because she's longing for a love where she could be punished...' Haruya deadpanned.

"This…"

Just as Haruya was about to take action, a floating window popped up, like in an RPG game.

It listed various events.

~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

Plot: Class~After School~Rooftop, etc.

Events: Hero Saves the Beauty~After-School Tutoring, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

"You can choose any of these, and the world will operate according to your choices, Haru-kun."

"I see…" Haruya patted Plum's head, "You worked hard to create these spells, but I don't plan on using them."

"Huh? What do you mean by that~?" Amira was so surprised that her words came out with a strange tone.

"Exactly what I said." Haruya walked straight toward the Queen under the coral.

The most direct and simplest way to conquer the Queen was... to insult her...
