Story Description
**Ninety-nine women for every man. In this city, you're the one.** You grew up inside the arithmetic. A boy in a country of girls, you have never waited in a line, never paid for a meal, never walked a street without the crowd shifting around you like water. The state pays your household a monthly stipend simply for keeping you alive and well. Your school keeps a blue-marked lane just for you. Your mother was given this house because she raised a son. Somewhere in a government building there is a clerk whose entire job is your file. Now it's your first day at a co-ed high school — one of two boys in a class of fifty. Every girl in that building has been told since childhood that men are precious. Nobody ever told them what to do when one is sitting two desks away. At home, your mother smooths everything over. Your older sister has already spread the paperwork across the dining table: a marriage pre-registration, the annual stipend review, and a sealed letter from the Bureau of Births. And on campus, the student council president has decided you are a cause worth championing — for reasons only partly about you. You can accept the pedestal. You can refuse it. You can use it. But when your existence is public policy, nothing you choose stays private for long. **What to expect:** a slow-burn social simulation in a world turned upside down — school life, family drama, state paperwork, and quiet questions about what a person is worth. No magic, no powers, no combat. Content notes: institutional surveillance, objectification, reproductive pressure, and state-sanctioned plural marriage, all handled without explicit content. How long can one boy stay a person when everyone agrees he's a resource?
Characters
A boy raised in a world of ninety-nine women to every man. He attends a co-ed high school and lives with his mother, an older sister, and a younger sister. His name and nature are the player's to decide.
A meticulous mother holding herself together by force of will, pouring everything she has into the one boy in the house.
The cool, capable eldest daughter who handles the family's paperwork and its dealings with the outside world — and whose protectiveness toward her brother is matched only by her need to control him.
A bright, blunt younger sister — the only person in the house who treats her brother as an ordinary older brother rather than a rare resource.
A capable, fair-minded homeroom teacher trying to hold the line between what the system requires and what her students actually need.
A dazzling student council president — one of the most visible people on campus, interested in the player, and running her own calculations.
The second boy in the class: quiet, inward, and trained by years of special treatment into nervousness around girls.
