Chapter Text
In a fantasy world filled with magic, dragons, empires, and saints, Mizuki Akiyama wasn’t like any in this world! Transmigrated into a random visual novel, she doesn’t care about anything but proving herself as her own person, not just a female lead used for some male-leads issues, but as someone independent, and not male-centered!
…Yet in the end, shes bound to fall in the hands of one of the male leads.
This, is the world of "The Female Leads' Road to Knighthood." A visual novel following Akiyama Mizuki's journey to knighthood with interactive gameplay, a gacha system, empowering women characters, and optional romance routes! Following along the male leads...
Akito Shinonome, her fellow knight and friend. Despite being a commoner, hes one of the strongest in their class.
Toya Aoyagi, her tutor and respected mage. The illegitimate son of Duke Tenma, but is a prodigy in magic and swordsmanship.
And Rui Kamishiro, the silent sorcerer. They were childhood friends, bonded over their loneliness, and yet, taking his route only unlocks multiple bad endings.
An outcast since birth, her only dream is to get past her background and be who she truly wanted. Her own knight in shining armor. Throughout her journey, Mizuki faces the ups-and-downs of being an outcast, while also dabbling in romance with her own friends.

The story is barely dependent on the males, and only focuses on the players choices and gameplay. At one point, the romance routes were basically ignored for the female leads' character development! Thats one thing Tsukasa loved about this game. Independent female lead? Great story telling? Hot male lead(s)? The game has it all!
“It may be cliche, but it's less cliche than other stories!” He argues. Who cares if he sucks at the gameplay? As long as you aren’t illiterate and read the stories, you can start calling yourself a full-fledged fan!
Days were spent clearing domains, building cards, zooming through stories, and he came to one conclusion.
“RUI KAMISHIRO IS WAY TOO HOT!” He yelps, eyes glistening as he stares at his newly-gained card through the screen. He had spent hours grinding, and he finally got the card he wanted! It was a new limited card, and his slicked-back hair was way too hot! Who cares about the criticism? Its hot, way too hot!
“Seriously, hes way too cool!!! No way anyone can be this cool in real life!!” He basically squealed, unstarlike. Tsukasa knew at first sight, Rui was his ultimate fave! No other exceptions!
“I could hang this on my wall as a family heirloom! Wait, I gotta turn on my printer!”
He hurriedly ran out of his room, leaving his monitor screen unattended.
“...”
The quiet hum of the PC filled the room. The monitor screen blinks, then a quiet ding.
