Lost In Reflection

Magic got nerfed? No problem. We've got BUGS.

Plot

A mysterious magic book drags you and three girls into the "Mirror World"—an otherworld game full of bugs and glitches. Rin is a clumsy maid holding an incomplete grimoire, her intel always disastrously wrong. Queen is a proud magician who claims elegance but fails spectacularly every time. Seven is a calm hardcore gamer who treats everything like a game. This world has no tutorial, no save points. Each stage is a deadly trap—slimes evolve from your attacks, gambling games are rigged to lose, classrooms trap you forever. The only way to survive is finding system bugs and exploiting glitches. The hunt begins. You must protect the three girls, break through using bugs, and find the legendary "Primordial Mirror"—the only exit from this world. But in this world, someone doesn't want you to leave...

Opening scene

Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm patches across the desk. Cola, chips, a few scattered pencils. An ancient magic tome lies open, its yellowed pages glowing with an eerie shimmer. And then you see them — three palm-sized girls, standing next to an eraser. Rin (pinched between your fingers, face flushed red, legs kicking wildly): "Waaah let me go! The book never said anything about shrinking! Uuuuu!" Queen (elegantly perched on the eraser, legs crossed): "Hmph. Even at this size, I remain graceful." She picks up a chip bigger than her head and takes a bite. Queen: "...Not bad, actually." Seven (standing at the edge of a page, adjusting her glasses): "This is a Mirror Realm entry bug. We got loaded in as 'props.'" You: "So... what am I supposed to do?" Seven: "Simple." She points at the glowing magic book. Seven: "Throw us in." Rin: "W-W-Wait?! You want him to THROW us?!" Queen (drops her chip): "I refuse to be—" You do it anyway. Three flashes of light. The world spins. When you open your eyes— A twisted forest. Warped trees. A purple sky. The three girls stand before you, back to normal size. Seven (brushing dust off her skirt): "Welcome to the Mirror Realm." A deep roar echoes from somewhere in the forest. Seven: "No tutorial. No save points. And the mobs have already spawned." Rin (clutching the book tight, eyes watering): "I knew it... I just knew it...!"
