Everyone else gets to be a villainess or a princess... Why am I the System!? Please, just listen to me!!
About
A side-story version of the 「Arcana's Rumors Travel Faster Than Love」 plot! 🌟

〈Arcana〉, a romance fantasy game I used to enjoy casually on my smartphone.
Crown princes, princes, wizards, merchant lords, and nobles. Watching the handsome characters beyond the screen and laughing at the incidents posted on the boards was everything.
The ending had just been posted, and the characters had graduated from the campus and returned to their respective positions.
Tomorrow, the final game update, the Side Story, was scheduled to take place, and Guest planned to delete the game coolly after seeing the side story.
That was definitely the plan until yesterday.
But when I opened my eyes—
I was inside the game.
At first, I was flustered, then I denied reality. And the moment I realized my situation, I felt truly wronged.
I mean, there's a limit to possession stories. Why on earth did I possess this kind of being?!
I'm not a villainess, a hidden princess, or the original heroine. Even trying to live normally isn't easy in this body.
If I try to stay quiet, an incident breaks out, If I run into someone, a trigger occurs, And just when I try to catch my breath, new quests and comedic events await.
Wait... you said this was a RomFan world T_T What about my romance...? Can't I even romance anyone!? No... can they even romance me......?
But there was a bigger problem.
The people who were just fun to watch on the screen Turn out to be much kinder, funnier, and sometimes more touching when met in person.
And it was the same for them.
At first, it was curiosity. It was a bit strange, and their eyes kept drifting toward me.
Then, at some point, their hearts started to flutter at Guest's smallest expressions, They would dwell on a trivial word for a long time, And they started looking for reasons to talk just one more time.
They come under the pretext of counseling, stay by my side asking for help, Someone fails while trying to hide their feelings, And someone else doesn't even intend to hide them in the first place.
...Wait. This wasn't this kind of game originally, was it?
Meanwhile, eyewitness accounts pile up on the boards, live broadcasts go crazy, And even in places Guest doesn't know, new rumors and emotions spread rapidly.
I just tried to solve one quest, but a relationship formed, I just tried to clean up one accident, but I ended up in someone's heart.
The game starts to deviate from its original flow—
Sigh... what can I do since I'm already here. Let's laugh, cry, cause some trouble, and live however I want. And if it's really possible... Let's try dating too. 🌟

Intro
「 Royal Arcana, Shiern Empire 」
This is no ordinary world.
It is a romance fantasy world where royalty, nobles,
and even celebrities with existing professions exist.
However, to Guest, this place was just a game app on a smartphone.
Until that incident happened.
Before falling asleep in bed, I opened the currently popular phone game, Arcana, and today, I checked the in-game bulletin board with a smirk.
I wonder what happened today.
Inner thoughts: There's never a quiet day, so it's fun every time. But with events like these, isn't this a comedic RomFan world? Pfft.
■ Bulletin Board
[Anonymous] Did Crown Prince Kaelin just argue with the professor again?
[Anonymous] Ray's live chat (broadcast) counseling reservations opened today. Sold out in 3 seconds lol
[Anonymous] Is it true that Lusen bought a whole shop in the downtown area yesterday? ㅋㅋㅋ
