KOBAYASHI

THE SILVER SPOON

There was nothing extraordinary about Touya.[break][break]

He was one of the top in his class, he was part of the school orchestra, and his father owned one of the leading telecommunication companies in his country. Life was not difficult--hell, life was far from that. Sure, school work was a chore, but that was pretty much the only chore he did. Being the youngest, he was babied relentlessly, and he was not like his siblings who had a penchant for leaving the house daily. Nah, the internet was where it was at, and video games were his anthem. A good night was of his friends and he playing online on who knew what, whether it be blasting someone with bullets, magic, a sword, or colorful paint.[break][break]

Life was good.[break][break]

THE FATED DISC

RPGs, in particular, were his favorite kind of genre.[break][break]

And so when he heard about the new, upcoming game that was reminiscent of monsters and whatnot, he simply could not resist. Obtaining the beta required a bit more effort than he anticipated, but it was none of his own, and it was a sacrifice he was willing to make. Patience was the only thing required of him, and he had plenty of that since it was summer vacation. He would muse about his light worries and excitement for college when he got there.[break][break]

Unfortunate that it wasn't a console game, but the PC still had its supporters. The choice of a disc was rather archaic though; it reminded him of his childhood when his eldest brother would bring him to a stall that had plenty of knockoff games to chose from. Furrowing his brows, he popped the reflective circle into the slot and waited for the computer to load.[break][break]

Something was immediately off. The screen was black. Did the game crash? He was used to the fans whirring a gentle hum, but it had picked up speed, almost screaming. Alarm set in, and then confusion. A question in blocky font appeared from the void. Was this game playing the meta card? It was a common trend nowadays, and he decided to play along for a bit. The fan still worried him.[break][break]

That was until his name flashed on the screen. Again, he furrowed his brows, but then he remembered that there was a VN recently that pulled the same trick. Truly meta, but not worth a computer meltdown. He just had to...[break][break]

The game didn't give him a chance.[break][break]

BRAVE NEW WORLD

"I've turned into a furry?!" [break][break]

The shock, the horror...but he supposed it was better than becoming a fish or an appendage-less creature. He woke up to a completely different room than his own. For one thing, it was well-lit. It took a while for the haze that clouded his head to clear, and with the gears turning came plenty of questions. He didn't think it was actually possible, but he actually became an anime protag that just got isekai'd into a completely different world. Wow, all of the warning signs were there, but really...[break][break]

Well, shoot. As cool as this was, he needed to get back home. He hoped that it would be like Digimon where barely any time would pass or something. For now he supposed there was an urgency to learn what the hell was going on and what he could do. No menus or floating arrows though? Damn. Guess he would have to do this the hard way.[break][break]

LOOKS

Touya eventually figures out that he is not (just) a furry, he's part of a species known as "Riolu". A regular one at that, though another one of his species notes that his eyes are gold instead of red; something that he felt was carried over from his human appearance. Other than that though, his ears seem to be of the right length, he has a snout and paws and a neat tail to match. Definitely the feeling of having those is odd, but he finally understands how it feels like to wag one's tail.
