Yuu sprinted down the endless corridor of Jujutsu High, footsteps echoing like gunshots behind him.
Nobara, Shoko, Utahime, Female Gojo, and now Female Sukuna—each of them obsessed, each powerful, and each radiating a hunger that had nothing to do with curses.
He'd maxed everything, yet felt more powerless than ever.
> System Warning: Host at Risk of Emotional Overload. Recommendation: Engage System Core. Unlock Advanced Interface.
"System!" Yuu gasped as he rounded a corner. "Open that advanced stuff. Now!"
The world around him suddenly paused—like time itself had frozen.
A glowing screen blinked into existence before him, far more detailed than before. Silver-blue glyphs spun in circles, and a new, command console spread out like a futuristic HUD.
> Welcome to the Absolute System Core Interface.
Primary Settings:
Reality-Breaker Mode: [LOCKED]
God-tier Adjustment Suite: [UNLOCKED]
Multiversal Romance Stabilizer: [ERROR]
System AI: Activating Persona Protocol…
A soft voice echoed within his mind, serene and oddly comforting.
> "Hello, Yuu. I am A.S.H.A — Absolute System's Heuristic Assistant."
Yuu blinked. "You… talk now?"
> "Only when your survival probability drops below 17%. Which it has. Dramatically."
"Gee, thanks."
> "Would you like assistance avoiding assassination by love-struck curse users?"
"YES!"
> Deploying: Yandere Defense Protocol Ver. 1.0 – Temporary Illusion Cloak – Cursed Aura Suppression – Charm Neutralizer Field
His body shimmered. The suffocating weight of his cursed energy faded, and even his appearance dimmed—like someone had turned down the saturation on his presence.
> You are now hidden from yandere detection for 10 minutes. Use this time wisely.
Panting, Yuu slipped into an unused training hall and slumped behind a weapon rack.
"Okay. Let's recap," he muttered. "I got isekai'd. Clicked max power. Broke the world. And now five ultra-dangerous women want to either date me, dissect me, or sacrifice me on a cursed altar."
> "You forgot one," A.S.H.A. noted calmly. "Female Sukuna wants to merge souls."
Yuu's face turned pale. "That's not better!"
> New Subsystem Available: Trait Rebuilder Customize or reroll traits to adjust attraction or fate-related entanglements.
Yuu's eyes lit up. "Yes! Reroll me into someone boring and safe. Make me invisible to psychopaths."
> "Unable to comply. Your Soul Signature is too potent. Reality gravitates toward you. Rebalancing required at cosmic level."
Yuu nearly cried. "So I can't even be mediocre anymore?"
> "Correct. You are the destined anomaly. The Absolute Keystone of this world."
"Why does that sound like a good thing but feel like a curse?"
Before A.S.H.A. could answer, the entire training hall trembled.
Boom.
The doors exploded inward, splinters flying like daggers.
Yuu's illusion shattered.
And standing in the center of the doorway… was Rika Orimoto.
Her cursed energy wrapped around her like chains of love twisted into thorns. Her eyes were wide, unblinking, and filled with something that made even Sukuna look tame.
She whispered, "Found you."
Yuu's heart dropped.
> Yandere Threat Level: MAXIMUM Subject: Rika Orimoto (Manifested) Status: Possessive Curse Spirit — Emotion Anchor Detected Trigger: You exist.
"I didn't even meet you yet!" Yuu protested.
Rika stepped forward, hand outstretched. "Your energy... it called to me. I left everything behind to find you."
Yuu backed away. "I'm not your Yuta! I'm not your—"
Rika tilted her head. "But you feel like love. Real love. Stronger than his."
> System Alert: Cursed Binding Attempt Detected.
Chains of cursed energy erupted from the floor, wrapping around Yuu's limbs. They burned with intensity, fueled by her emotions.
Yuu cried out—but A.S.H.A.'s voice remained calm.
> "Activating Emergency Override. Begin Absolute Sync."
"What's Absolute Sync?!"
> "You'll see."
Time fractured.
Space twisted.
And suddenly, Yuu felt it—like a second soul overlapping his own. He could see every thread of cursed technique in the room, every vector of emotion, every angle of intention.
He raised his hand.
A wave of pure, conceptual severance exploded from his palm. The cursed chains shattered instantly. Rika staggered backward.
Yuu blinked. "What… what did I just do?"
> Unlocked: Reality Edit Technique – 'Absolute Command' – Temporarily reshape any effect in the world to align with the user's will. – Cost: Sanity (Regenerates Slowly)
He laughed weakly. "Oh, sure. That's fair."
Rika stared at him, stunned… then smiled.
"You're even more perfect than I thought."
> Yandere Affection Boosted. Rika: 98% Obsession.
Yuu turned to A.S.H.A. "Okay. What's the plan?"
> "Option 1: Run. Again. Option 2: Assert dominance through overwhelming power. Option 3: Weaponize affection."
"…I hate all of those."
> "Then unlock Option 4."
A new screen unfolded in front of him:
> [LOCKED FUNCTION – ABSOLUTE SYSTEM DEITY PROTOCOL] – Conditions to unlock: Defeat a Yandere in Emotional Combat.
"Emotional combat?" Yuu asked.
> "You must win… a confession war."
Yuu stared at Rika, now floating toward him with her arms outstretched, glowing with cursed affection.
"…I'm doomed."
