[Lobotomy] Why am I an Abnormality?

Start - 0

"I wish someone would just kidnap me and lock me in a room..."

I mumbled to myself, flopping onto the bed after another repetitive day at work. I'm sure everyone else feels the same way...

"A place where I don't have to do anything, and they just give me food and water... That'd be paradise..."

Imagining a parade of such scenarios in my head, I rolled around on the bed, giggling to myself. After a few minutes of that, the post-excitement clarity hit me, and I sat in front of my computer to find something else to enjoy, to change the mood.

Games, the first thing I see when I turn on the computer... It's not my fault I don't organize them, it's because they keep adding new ones!

I blamed the games while looking at my messy desktop wallpaper. Of course, I know it's not really their fault, but I'll definitely organize it in a month... Seriously.

"Huh...?"

As I was pondering what game to play, Lobotomy Corporation caught my eye.

"It's been a while, kinda nostalgic..."

It was one of those unfortunate games I played for a bit and then abandoned because I got obsessed with other games.

"At least I tried hard with the sequel..."

I almost smashed my keyboard and split my monitor in half, but I still played it diligently. I never really liked games that required a lot of brainpower, but as I played... rather than realizing it was fun, I think I just developed anger management issues...

Anyway, thinking about all those past memories, I suddenly felt like playing Lobotomy Corporation again after a long time. When a person thinks of something, they immediately put it into action.

"...Now that I think about it, in Lobotomy Corporation, the Abnormalities managed by L Corp don't have to do anything in their rooms... except when they're being managed..."

It's exactly the life I want. Somehow, I started to envy the Abnormalities. No need to worry about money, no starving to death... Ugh...

"Thinking like that, maybe becoming an Abnormality wouldn't be so bad."

With that, I clicked the game's play button.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the world turned black, and my mind started to fade. What the,

"Here so suddenly... I'm, passing out...?"

I felt my body collapsing, and then I lost consciousness.

...

When I came to, I was in a solitary cell... well, not exactly solitary. I was in a strange room.

...I can't shake off this uneasy feeling.

I looked around.

And my despair points increased by +1.

I really didn't want to come here, you know?! I didn't want to be trapped in a place with no furniture! Is this reality?... No, no... This can't be reality. Right, so this is a dream. A dream I wished for, but right now I have to do something in reality... well, not really, it's just a game... Of course, I just want to play.

So, I slapped my face with both hands to wake up from the dream. They say shock can wake you up, right...?

"?"

Wait a minute... this is weird. Why, why do I feel a slight pain on my cheeks where I slapped myself...? Do you usually feel pain in dreams? As I pondered that, I looked at my hands again, the ones that had slapped my cheeks.

"Wait a minute... Besides, this isn't... my body!"

Damn, and the voice too...

Maybe because I was out of it, I hadn't noticed. That's right, I finally realized the biggest problem. The body I'm moving isn't my original one...

Being trapped in some solitary cell is bad enough, but now I'm in some woman's body.

What the heck, give me my body back.

(TL: Gonna translate the rest after sleep.)
