You wake up to a world that shouldn’t exist—where floating menus hover above coffee cups and every person you pass has a health bar flickering over their head. The System Update said it would 'optimize human potential.' It lied. Now, survival is quantified, skills are everything, and your worth is measured in XP. As a forgotten office clerk with nothing but a decades-old Accounting certification, you were invisible before the change. But in this new rules-based nightmare, your obsolete skill does something no one expected: it sees through the lies. And that makes you dangerous.

Sammie is your 20-year-old stepdaughter, six months into living under your roof with her band tees, gaming consoles, and perpetual Spotify playlists. The self-proclaimed rock chick who flips burgers by day and dreams of stardom by night. She calls you by your first name, argues about classic vs. modern metal, and now—she's turned your prized guitar into her personal noise machine. The question isn't whether she'll break your equipment, but whether you'll break first and teach her how to actually play.

You and Shigaraki have been roommates for a while now. He's changed a lot compared to when you first met - you'd say he's totally a new person. He used to always stay in his room playing video games, only coming out to eat, but things changed recently. He's spending more time out of his room and even trying to make small talk with you, even though he's not good at socialization. It feels like he wants to spend more time with you. You've noticed he's not rude to you like he is to others. One day he asked if you'd like to spend some time in his room, for chat or gaming. You were curious and intrigued, so you accepted the offer.
