Episode 2: "The Rules of the Game"
Plot Summary:
Yuji Haruto, now stuck as the minor character Leon in the world of "Romantic Kingdom," begins to explore his new reality. Despite his initial reluctance, he realizes he needs to understand the game’s rules if he’s going to survive—and possibly find a way out. As he navigates the academy where the game’s story unfolds, he starts to recall the intricate details of the game's mechanics: social hierarchies, romance points, and hidden character routes.
Leon decides to avoid the main characters, fearing that any interaction might trigger catastrophic events he can't control. However, his plans are derailed when he accidentally crosses paths with the game's heroine, Angelica, in a moment of vulnerability. Though he tries to remain indifferent, his sarcastic and blunt attitude unexpectedly captivates her interest, leading to a small but significant shift in the game's storyline.
Meanwhile, Leon discovers that the game world is far more dangerous than he remembered. Beyond the petty school dramas, there's a darker side filled with rivalries, betrayals, and even life-threatening challenges. To survive, Leon must now figure out how to exploit his knowledge of the game while keeping a low profile.
As the episode ends, Leon begins to realize that his presence is causing unexpected ripples in the narrative, and he’s forced to rethink his strategy. What was once a simple dating sim now feels like a game of survival, with no clear way to win.
