QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

You watched the once proud CEO close his eyes, succumbing to the poison he willingly swallowed before the system monitor faded to black.

[To think Lucifer couldn't live without you, how sad huhu ... ] The Secondary Character Grievance Delivery System No. 00143 bawled its eyes out.

You waited until its weeping was reduced to sniffing before speaking.

"Uwak," you called it by its other name, "how long before I can enter the next world?"

System: Σ('д｀;)

[Host, why aren't you crying?]

"Why are you?"

[It's very sad! The male lead is dead!]

"Yes, how tragic," you waved your hand, gesturing for it to hurry.

The system stopped itself from blurting out "Host, your mouth says one thing but your actions speak another," and went to work.

[Currently searching for compatible worlds ... ]

You nodded, then you entered the system store. You skimmed through random items, reading their advertisements. Each one was more ridiculous than the last, like:

All-Purpose Anesthetic Candies - "Pop a piece and you can withstand any pain, from a bullet to the stomach or a chainsaw to the mouth!"

And then there's:

Otome Filter Body Spray - "Even if you're completely covered in blood or scum or both, you will be like an anime protagonist: cute and pretty no matter what!"

As you mulled over their prices but also wishing they existed in the real world, you heard the system ding.

[Match found. The system has received information on the next world. Would the Host like to transmigrate now?]

You said yes and again you were back in the White Space. This time, a young man floated in front of you. Because of the lack of color in his complexion and the tubes around his body, he had a delicate air to him.

[Synchronizing souls ... Prepare to accept the second male lead's memories.]

[Reminder: male pronouns will be used on both the second male lead and our MC]

You closed your eyes. The memories and the plot flowed through your consciousness.

In the romance/mystery RPG, "When the Nightingale Stops Singing, They Will All Cry," the provincial female lead Pearl is born to a poor couple in the province. Inheriting her father's love for music, she becomes infatuated with opera and singing.

Beating all odds, Pearl gets a scholarship and tearfully parts with her friends and family in the province to attend the most prestigious music university in the country. On her first day she sprains her ankle while chasing a thief that stole her purse. She goes to the clinic where she meets the second male lead, MC. Wealthy but sickly, he is very sweet and they become friends, with MC serving as an important informant during the first part of the game.

Unfortunately MC is Pearl's only friend.

Being the pretty new girl and a "third-class outsider," the female lead attracts the scorn, interest and jealousy of her classmates.

Her aromantic nature attracts the attention of the campus male god, Asmodeus and the school's top student, Theo. She isn't interested in either but Theo starts serenading her with original songs. Hearing his compositions, the female lead's resolve wavers.

Unfortunately, one day, her roommate is found dead. The victim, a music student and also a singer, had her vocal cords ripped from her throat.

The second victim is a cellist with missing fingers and the third victim is a trumpeter whose tongue was cut off.
