Jerry Foster had always been forgettable.
A quiet shadow in crowded hallways. The guy who wasn't picked last, just… never picked at all. He wasn't broken, just unfinished—like a sketch life never bothered to color in.
Then, on the night of his 18th birthday, everything changed.
His vision blurred. A piercing frequency screamed in his skull. He collapsed—alone, shaking, as if the universe itself had overwritten his reality.

No screen. No device.
The system lived inside his head—woven into his neurons, whispering in his sleep, flashing prompts behind his eyes.
And with it came them.
💪 Ragnar – The warlord echo: "Protect them with power. Win through strength."
🧠 Alric – The strategist: "Emotions are patterns. Love is logic. Use your mind."
💘 Zen – The flirt: "You want her? Tell her. Chaos is sexy."
Three ghosts of failed candidates, echoing through Jerry's mind. Each with a different philosophy on love, none of them ever having succeeded. And now—they were his advisors.
But something was off.
The system glitched. Prompts appeared at the wrong time. Emotions triggered corrupted reactions. When one girl teared up during a heartfelt conversation, the world around Jerry cracked—literally.

Jerry isn't just in a game. He is the game now. And he must navigate seven hearts, each carrying deep emotional scars, while battling both the system and the broken echoes in his head.
But the biggest threat isn't rejection.
It's the system rewriting him—emotion by emotion.
And somewhere deep in the code, something watches. Waiting for him to love… and fail.
