I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made

Chapter 1
I Don’t Believe in Fortune Telling (1)

『 Translator – Divinity 』

A room completely destroyed and broken, a total mess.

Unable to overcome a momentary outburst of anger, I was standing in the middle of that room, taking deep breaths.

Calm down, calm down.

Even though I had just been accepted to the police academy, which I had longed for.

Even though I was on the verge of finally escaping that half-basement, having saved up from student loans and daily labor wages.

Even though my younger sister, who passed the high school equivalency exam and worked extra part-time jobs during that time, suddenly sent me into a game.

Even though I went a little crazy for a moment, I still need to calm down. I can’t take my anger out on this room forever.

Slowly inhaling and exhaling, I calmed my emotions and stood in front of the mirror, the only thing in the room that seemed to be intact.

“…It’s the same.”

The mirror, which I managed to keep from shattering, reflected my real-life appearance.

For now, it seemed certain that I had entered the game, so I wondered if I had changed into the appearance of a game character, but thankfully…

‘…What a relief.’

What relief? It’s shitty to be caught up in this kind of thing in the first place.

That crazy bitch of a younger sister actually did this to her older brother.

Intense anger boiled up again, but my barely cooled reason managed to hold it back.

It’s a hopeless situation, but I still have to move.

‘What is this place anyway?’

The first thing to do is grasp the situation.

Looking closely around the room, I see thick books scattered everywhere, a half-broken wardrobe, a cracked table, a broken water bottle, and so on.

…It was my doing, but with this much mess, it’s hard to tell anything properly.

I rummaged around here and there and picked up a book lying randomly on the floor.

“‘Basic Fortune Telling That Anyone Can Follow’?”

The only things that seemed useful were the books scattered on the floor.

They varied in size and shape, but they were all about ‘fortune telling’?

‘The last job was .’

Even when I opened the book, it was just miscellaneous talk about fortune-telling; there was nothing to explain the current situation.

If this is the case… I have no choice but to look at that.

[PS. Have a happy life!]

“…Crazy bitch.”

The status window was still shining and floating in the air.

The crazy bitch’s words were written there, and the anger that had cooled down almost boiled up through my core, but I somehow endured it.

There was still content in the status window, so there must be something written there.

With a very faint hope, I scrolled down.

[Tutorial:

Welcome! You have entered Romance Academy, and a future full of flower gardens awaits you!

But unfortunately, it’s still premature. You’ve only started the game ‘Romance Academy’, you haven’t entered Romance Academy yet.

Huhut, are you worried? No problem! Entering the academy is the most basic of basics!

Learn your job skills and enter Romance Academy in style!

Objective: Acquire job skills, Enter Romance Academy, Enter Romance Academy as the top student! ← Highly recommended!

Time limit: 71 hours 59 minutes 57 seconds

Reward: Hint for returning!]

Damn it.

Cringeworthy text floating in a needlessly shining status window.

Yes, seeing this quest full of bluff and cringe, I realized once again.

I was now inside .

“You crazy bitch… I told you to make the quest script normal…”

What? Days full of flower gardens? Huhut? A lame pun with Romance Academy?

Why the hell attach ‘romance’ to the academy name in the first place? There are plenty of fancy and good words, why romance?

Was it because it was supposed to be a female-oriented dating sim game? Really?

“Huu…”

A deep sigh rose from the depths of my body.

What the hell am I supposed to do in this kind of world?

If that crappy quest was all that came up, it would be a bleak prospect, but… there was one sentence that needlessly showed hope.

“Return… is possible.”

I was relieved that this crazy bitch wasn’t trying to kill her family, but what the hell, I was tearing my hair out.

This means I have to see the ending.

It probably meant to clear the game until the end. It was something I only saw in web novels that I enjoyed reading, but now that it was happening to me… it was daunting.

But the ending, huh. If it were a normal game, there would be no problem… but this crappy game was a different story.

“…Job skill.”

If I had to see the ending, this skill was really important. only allowed you to learn three skills, and the most important of them was the job skill.

Therefore, the balance of the job skill, which could be called the identity of the job, was very important in the game.

‘As expected of a crappy game, it was a mess.’

There were jobs that were so powerful that you could see the ending with just that one skill,

And there were jobs that were so ridiculously weak that it was impossible to see the ending.

Anyway, my future depended on the performance of the ‘Fortune Teller’ skill.

“But why a fortune teller of all things…”

Did this crazy bitch forget that our family was torn apart because of a fake fortune teller when we were young? Did she become as dumb as a goldfish because I kept calling her one?

Why did I even enter the police academy? It was to catch that fake bastard that Mom and Dad were obsessed with.

And yet, you put a fortune teller in the game as a job? When I first saw it, I thought you had really lost it.

‘…If this was going to happen, I should have played the fortune teller sooner.’

Every time I played through the game, I skipped the fortune teller job right away, and it felt like karma came back to bite me, which was annoying.

But regardless of my hatred for fortune tellers and my absolute disbelief in the fortune-telling they do, I had to check the job skill.

To be precise, what I hate is the fake fortune teller who ruined our family, not all fortune tellers in the world.

With a look on my face like I had just bitten into a bug, I pressed on the job skill.

[Job:

Soothsayers who read the movements of the stars and use water, animals, and plants to predict the future.

They were called astrologers.

Yes, that’s an astrologer, not a fortune teller. A fortune teller is someone who sees the present, not the future!

Use all sorts of tools and luck to tell fortunes for others!

✻ The job ‘Fortune Teller’ has a high aptitude for acquiring certain magic-related knowledge!
✻ The job ‘Fortune Teller’ has a high aptitude for acquiring mythology-related knowledge!
✻ The job ‘Fortune Teller’ has a disastrous aptitude for physical activity, be careful even when running!]

“…………….”

I didn’t even care why they explained astrologers when describing fortune tellers, or why the explanation was so roughly written. It was always like that in this game.

The problem was the last aptitude of the fortune teller.

“Disastrous aptitude for physical activity…”

What a joke.

If I remember correctly, the modifier ‘disastrous’ only appeared when the aptitude was almost zero.

This is truly hopeless, isn’t it?

…No, wait.

What does it matter if the aptitude for physical activity is disastrous? Unlike skills, aptitude can be changed.

If I utilize all the support equipment and skills available in the game, I should be able to raise even a disastrous aptitude to average somehow.

Whether I can do that is the problem, but it’s not entirely impossible.

The real problem is the skill.

‘Please let there be something that helps in battle…!’

The proportion of combat in is quite high. Despite being a female-oriented dating sim game, all sorts of events involve combat.

Important events, equipment acquisition, relationships with characters, exams, endings, etc., the importance of combat goes without saying.

So please, let the fortune teller be combat-related.

Actually, it seems like the job name itself is wrong, but there’s always a chance!

[Job:

Job Skill: Fortune Telling

The fortune teller can tell the fortune of a specific target through tarot and physiognomy.

The fortune teller has a unique stat ‘Accuracy Rate’ that shows the probability of the fortune being correct!

✻ The fortune teller has a base accuracy rate of 10%.
✻ When telling fortunes through ‘Tarot Cards’, the accuracy rate increases by +5%!
✻ When telling fortunes through ‘Physiognomy’, the accuracy rate increases by +5%!
✻ For targets who have had their fortune told multiple times, an additional 5% accuracy rate is added!

Current Accuracy Rate: 10%]

“….”

Disastrous physical activity, magic only buffed for knowledge acquisition.

On top of that, the job skill was only fortune-telling.

Thanks to that goddamn crazy bitch, I was able to realize that when people get too angry, they actually become calmer.

But, it’s called a fortune teller, for crying out loud.

But the probability of being correct when telling fortunes is 10%? Even with additional probabilities from tarot cards, physiognomy, and people who have had their fortune told multiple times, it’s only 25%?

That means 1 out of 4 times it’s correct?

“Damn it, I’m gonna quit.”

That doesn’t mean I’m going to give up on returning. I was almost done with graduating, and I had almost paid off my student loans, so life was finally getting better.

I’ve worked so hard all this time, and I absolutely refuse to end my life trapped in this crappy game.

More than anything, I have to catch this crazy bitch…!

“Fortune-telling? Screw that.”

After all, since the job is a fortune teller, once I enter , events and job quests related to fortune-telling will pour in.

I can’t ignore all of that. Completing job quests is also a condition for the ending.

I’m just not going to rely on this damn skill.

“I don’t even believe in fortune-telling.”

I have no intention of praying to gods or ancestors or whatever to tell me my fate, or drawing cards and leaving it up to luck.

I will become a fortune teller who doesn’t believe in fortune-telling.

I will see the ending and return, completely rationally and logically.

“I will definitely catch this bitch.”

I will beat the crap out of my little sister.

With firm determination, I nodded.
