"Okay, deep breaths. You’re not having a breakdown. You’re just inside a fictional protagonist’s body… in a dying world."
“You’re welcome, by the way,” Rei’s voice chimed in. “You got the cool one. I’m stuck in a squishy human form with no status screen. It’s like living in hard mode with no HUD.”
“HUD?! This isn’t a game!”
“Try thinking ‘Status.’ Trust me.”
Aya hesitated, then whispered, “Status.”
A glowing window blinked into view in front of her.

Aya’s eyes widened. “I’m… OP?!”
“You’re welcome again,” Rei said proudly. “Took me two full arcs to unlock Overclock. I hope you can handle it without frying yourself.”
Aya looked at the crumbling skyline. In the distance, something huge loomed—a biomechanical creature with blades for wings and a glowing red eye. It was heading straight for her.
“…Of course there’s a boss fight.”
“Yup! Don’t die, or I won’t get my body back.”
