    Summary

    Starscream knows how this story ends.

    After dying as the disgraced villain of a romance game and waking at the beginning of his route, he has one objective: avoid every dangerous character, dodge every death flag, and live quietly enough to reach the credits.

    The threats are obvious. Megatron. Optimus Prime. Predaking. Shockwave.Tarn.Even the cute little Bumblebee.

    Soundwave, the silent servant managing Starscream's household, barely registers as a concern.

    Which is unfortunate, because Soundwave is actually the game's hidden final boss—the mastermind who manipulated nobles, wars, scandals, and even Starscream's original downfall from behind the scenes.

    Starscream doesn't know that.

    He only knows his strangely competent servant works too hard, so he gives him proper meals, thanks him, defends him from arrogant nobles, and occasionally asks if he has rested.

    Then the system starts sending notifications.

    [FINAL BOSS HOSTILITY: 0%]

    Excellent.

    [FINAL BOSS ATTACHMENT: 92%]

    ...Excuse me?

    Starscream wanted to eliminate his death flags.

    He may have accidentally unlocked the Final Boss romance route instead.
