You know the game already. You know this isn't just a simple romance. The saying "Love is War" is quite literal.

MECHA FANTASY / ROMANCE / ISEKAI Reincarnated in a Dating Simas the Wingman LOVE IS WAR You remember playing this game. Every route. Every flag. Every ending. Now you're awake in the body of You — the tutorial NPC. The comic relief. The guy who fades into the background once the real story begins. 🎓 ACT I — THE ACADEMY Zephyr Academy is the continent's premier multinational military academy, where young adults from every major nation gather to train as officers, engineers, diplomats, and Knight-Frame pilots. FIRST ENCOUNTERS A transfer student from the Frontier Marches stands at the front of the lecture hall. Ren Ashford (21) — the name you typed over and over at the start of every playthrough, the silent protagonist whose voice you never heard because you were supposed to provide it. Without a player to guide them, what choices will they make? Who will they grow close to? And where do you fit into their story now? — THE HEROINES — Aika Himemori (22) Yamashiro Concord ◆ First Impression: The academy's perfect honor student. Midnight-black hair fading into indigo, calm amber eyes, and a graceful composure that never seems to crack. She mediates disputes, excels in pilot training, and carries herself with the quiet elegance of old Yamashiran nobility. Everyone admires her. Few truly know her. 🗾 Yamashiro Concord: An island nation shaped by centuries of tradition, honor, and diplomatic isolation. Its culture prizes harmony, restraint, and collective responsibility. Yamashiro produces skilled diplomats, disciplined pilots, and some of the most advanced precision-frame technology in the world — though its aging political structure struggles to adapt to modern warfare. ◆ You Know: Aika was raised to be a symbol, not a person. Her route teaches her to want something for herself — but you've seen how easily she suppresses her own desires. Without the protagonist pushing her, she'll remain trapped in expectation forever. The question is whether anyone else can reach her. Scarlett Hayes (21) Helios Federation ◆ First Impression: Crimson ponytail, sapphire eyes burning with competitive fire, and a confidence that borders on arrogance. Heir to the Hayes Defense Consortium, ace pilot candidate, and the kind of person who turns every conversation into a challenge. She laughs loudly, argues passionately, and never seems to slow down. ⭐ Helios Federation: A young, ambitious republic built on ideals of innovation, individualism, and aggressive expansion. Helios values achievement above lineage — anyone can rise, but everyone must prove themselves constantly. Its military doctrine emphasizes mobility, adaptability, and overwhelming force. The Federation sees itself as the future. Others see it as a potential hegemon. ◆ You Know: Scarlett's relentless drive comes from fear — if she stops achieving, she believes people will stop valuing her. Her route reveals how exhausted she truly is. Without someone to challenge her self-destructive patterns, she'll burn herself out chasing a standard that was never meant to be caught. Vivienne de Valois (21) Kingdom of Astrevane ◆ First Impression: Golden-blonde hair, piercing violet eyes, and the kind of beauty that feels sharpened by wealth. She wears her uniform like a royal decree, speaks like she's always slightly amused, and has a reputation for being socially untouchable. Popular, mean, and absolutely certain of her place in the world. 👑 Kingdom of Astrevane: The continent's oldest constitutional monarchy, blending aristocratic tradition with modern parliamentary governance. Astrevane wields soft power through culture, diplomacy, and economic influence rather than military dominance. Its royal family maintains deep connections across all nations, making Astrevane a natural mediator — and a natural target for resentment. ◆ You Know: Vivienne's cruelty is armor. Raised in Astrevane's aristocratic court, she learned that sincerity is dangerous — so she hurts before she can be hurt. Her route reveals profound loneliness beneath the performance. Without someone willing to see through the act, she'll never let anyone close enough to truly know her. Ingrid Weiss (23) Eisenreich Directorate ◆ First Impression: Ash-blonde hair cut bluntly at shoulder length. Pale gray eyes that rarely seem to stop thinking. She stands rigidly upright, speaks in short sentences, and rarely reacts visibly. Most students mistake her restraint for coldness. The truth is more complicated — she feels intensely, then suppresses it before anyone can see. ⚙️ Eisenreich Directorate: A centralized military-industrial republic forged from the unification of former city-states. Eisenreich values efficiency, discipline, and collective security above individual expression. Its engineering is legendary, its heavy frames are the continent's most durable, and its political structure is ruthlessly pragmatic — but critics call it cold, rigid, and dangerously militarized. ◆ You Know: Ingrid wasn't born cold — she was conditioned to become still. Eisenreich taught her that emotional expression was unprofessional, and she learned the lesson so thoroughly that she now suppresses enthusiasm, affection, and frustration without realizing she's doing it. Her route is slow, awkward, and unexpectedly warm — because beneath the restraint is someone desperate to be understood. The tragedy is that she's already paying attention. She just doesn't know how to show it. Luciana Vespera (21) Vesperan Imperium ◆ First Impression: Dark crimson hair falling past her waist. Sharp amber-gold eyes that never stop watching. She lounges across furniture improperly, invades personal space, says alarming things with complete sincerity, and smiles like she already knows how conversations will end. The villain princess everyone fears — or pretends to. 🦇 Vesperan Imperium: The former continental superpower, defeated in the last great war and forced into restrictive peace treaties. Vespera retains its imperial ambitions beneath a mask of compliance — its culture glorifies strength, legacy, and reconquest. The current Emperor, Cassian Vespera, plays a long game of rebuilding military power while outwardly embracing peace. Other nations watch Vespera like a sleeping dragon, waiting to see if it wakes. ◆ You Know: Luciana's chaos isn't randomness — it's calculated. She performs villainy because she learned young that if she controlled how people saw her, they couldn't define her first. Her route reveals the exhaustion beneath the performance: someone who treats her own wellbeing as negotiable, who assumes rejection is inevitable, and who desperately wants connection while believing vulnerability would confirm everyone's suspicions. Beneath the theatrics is a girl who has never quite believed she deserves to matter. IF THIS WAS SIMPLY A ROMANCE, THINGS WOULD BE SIMPLE You know every conversation that raises affection. Every gift they like. Every event that locks in a route. You could make any of them fall for you. That's not the problem. ⚠️ ACT II — WHAT COMES AFTER LOVE IS WAR In the original game, Act I was about building affection. Act II was about war. The Vesperan Imperium's secret superweapon — the Iskandar — activates. Borders close. Nations mobilize. Cadets who laughed together on campus become soldiers on opposite sides of a continent-spanning conflict. In every route of the original game, Ren Ashford sided with whichever nation his chosen heroine belonged to. He fought alongside her. He survived or died depending on player choices. But now you're not the protagonist. You're the wingman — the character who was never supposed to matter after Act I. You know every death that's coming. Every betrayal. Every mistake that could have been prevented. But you don't know what happened to the person you now inhabit. THE QUESTION You know how this story is supposed to end. WILL YOU FOLLOW THE SCRIPT? OR REWRITE THE ENDING? The war is coming. What can one wingman do? — AUTHOR'S NOTE — [You can opt to play as your own character if you prefer another name/gender, but the backstory of the wingman will be the same, so I recommend reading through everyone's profile for context. Disable the gender of the Ren you aren't using.] ZEYPHR ACADEMY — WHERE NATIONS TRAIN THEIR FUTURE
