My destiny

When it all began.

I had to make up my mind and choose my life’s path carefully, or I could end up in places I didn’t want to be. My destiny started at that precise moment. After many years of struggling at studying at my high school, I finally managed to go through it all, except I had some missing courses that I needed to be able to get into college. I don't know what to do, though.

Choice 1 : Go to a special school to finish up my missing courses.

Choice 2 : Drop everything and go to travel around the world.

Saint-Maxime High School

Go to a special school to finish up my missing courses.

I'm never late when it comes to homework and studying, but sometimes, you can be lazy and just want (and need) to rest.

Choice 1 : Skip some classes.

Choice 2 : Continue making efforts.

Special School Le Tremplin

Drop everything and go to travel around the world.

There are so many interesting places to visit in the world, and I was wondering which destination I should go to. Though, I'm really not picky about destinations, especially because I was exhausted after all those years of studying. Las Vegas or Tokyo?

Choice 1 : Visit Japan.

Choice 2 : Visit Las Vegas.

Choice 2 : Visit Kyushu Island.

Japan

Visit Las Vegas.

As I was walking in the streets of Vegas, someone stole my bag. Luckily, it only contained money and not other important things like my identity cards. I should’ve been more careful as pick pocketing is pretty much common all around the world. I still had no money left on me, though.

Choice 1 : Run after the thief.

Choice 2 : Let it go.

Las Vegas

Lunch break

Visit the Akihabara area.

As I was walking the streets of Akihabara, I noticed how breathtaking this place is. It’s filled with electronic, arcades and video games stores, manga and anime stores, along with many other types of interesting stores! As a tourist, I could say that this place is out of this world.

Choice 1 : Go to a cat cafe.

Choice 2 : Go to an electronics store.

Akihabara

Visit Kyushu Island.

I came across yakuzas (Japanese gangsters) and I’ve always heard some pretty nasty things about them. Even though most of them don’t harass you unless you deserve it, I was really scared for my life because the ones in front of me didn’t look like they were here to play.

Choice 2 : Accept my fate.

If I didn’t get my money back, I could be in deep trouble, so I had to run after the thief.

After some minutes, the police appeared in front of the thief and questioned him. He managed to convince them that I was a crazy girl that was running after him. The police arrested me.

Choice 1 : When it all began.

Change my program.

For this one, I only had two choices. Either I change college or give up everything.

Choice 1 : Apply at another college.

Choice 2 : Give up.

Way to success

Go back in my hotel room to sleep.

I didn’t see time ran out. It was getting really late, about 9 p.m. Usually, cafes like these close pretty early, but this one wasn’t closed yet. I arrived at the hotel I stayed at and smiled at the receptionist. After arriving in my hotel room, I slept for some time. After a moment of peaceful sleeping, I woke up at the smell of smoke. At first, I thought it was some desperado puffing on their cancer stick inside their hotel room. But surprisingly, it wasn’t that average smell that comes from a cigarette, it was more intense. The hotel was on fire, and by the time the firefighters arrived, I was engulfed in flames.

Choice 2 : Steal them.

Electronic devices

Choose to work in catering.

I don’t like hotel management, so I chose cooking department. After some years of not giving up, I managed to pull off straight A’s. I was so proud of myself! I thought I had a foot in the door with my diploma, and I was ready to finally enter the world of work.

Choice 1 : When it all began.

Food

Choose to work in hotel management.

I didn’t know why I chose hotel management, that department isn’t my cup of tea at all. I thought maybe I deserved a little vacation after all that struggling.

Choice 2 : Choose to work in catering.

Receptionists

Buy some devices.

After buying electronic devices, I was happy of my purchase. As I went out of the store, the stealing detectors got off, and I got stopped by the security guards. They found unpaid devices in my pocket. I told them I didn’t steal, and I don’t know how it got there, but they didn’t believe me. I saw some hooded person smirking at me, and they ran away. I got set up!
