My next life as a villainess, all routes lead to slavery

It had been roughly a week since you had drawn Jessica Rabbit, and your life had gotten easier because of it. In every way, Jessica had proven herself a vast improvement over your old ex. The sex, of course, was better than great, but there were also other ways in which Jessica was a better influence on your life.

Never once did Jessica Rabbit care that you were playing too many video games, for instance, instead Jessica would happily make you cookies, massage your shoulders, or even give you blowjobs if you wanted. Unlike your ex, who’d nag you incessantly if you didn't clean the dishes, Jessica would never hear of you lifting your finger to do anything but relax and would do so herself. Whilst your ex had been needy, impatient, and demanding, Jessica was anything but. And best of all, she was free to make her however you wanted, any change could be made to her with literally a stroke of a pen.

But after a week, a problem had started to turn up. As fun as Jessica was, she was like a doll. She said yes to everything you did without complaint, which, whilst certainly fun, lacked variety, excitement, or chaos. Simply put, things needed livening up, and there was a simple way to do that.

You grabbed your pen and started browsing TV Tropes for inspiration. Choosing one was harder than you expected, though, after a lifetime of only being able to jerk off to these women in fan art and TV, it felt hard to choose just one. Choose paralysis, like winning the lottery and having no idea what to spend it on.

But as you scrolled for inspiration, an idea immediately came to mind, Catarina Claes, from my next life as a villainess, all roads lead to doom. A harem anime protagonist, but unlike most harem anime protagonists, one who anyone would understand why heaps of both men and women would fall head over heels in love with her. And yes, that wasn’t a mistake, Catarina was the ultimate closet key, turning women who’d never once considered the fairer sex into love-sick lesbians.

And she did it all without even realising it. Sure, Catarina could be sweet, funny, endearing, and endlessly likable, but she could be as dumb as a sack of bricks. Especially when it came to realising that there were people actually in love with her. She’d be perfect.

You get to work drawing, like with Jessica, you decided to start with her canon appearance and grant her alterations later. Still, you were thinking ahead to what kind of alterations you wanted to do with her, perhaps something themed around the anime’s main premise. The main premise of the show is that a girl has been isekaied to the world of a dating game, only to be reincarnated as the main villain of the game. Naturally, as the villainess of the dating game, Catarina gets her comeuppance in each of the endings where the true heroine claims the capture targets, meaning that the girl who has taken Catarina's place will receive those bad ends. Something the new Catarina wants to avoid.

Of course, what the new Catarina that replaced the old Catarina was not the cruel bully who deserved her comeuppance the new one was a kind if dim-witted woman who brought joy to everyone around her. Not that she ever realises that, for in her mind she's still the unattractive, evil villainess despite the fact that the story has already gone well off the rails and Catarina will never meet her 'doom'. Just as she's oblivious to the fact that she's accidentally seduced all the game’s male dating targets. And the female rivals. And the side characters. And the heroine herself for good measure. All whilst completely clueless.

So, all in all, Catarina Claes would probably be perfect to add some liveliness to your life. And you were eager to see where your life would end up with her in your harem. You’d just finished drawing her as well, just like in the show, for now. You’d make the changes afterwards.

Now, how to wake her up? Last time you had left to get something and had returned to find Jessica Rabbit standing in the room. Did you just need to wait here? Or did you need to go?

You decided to go to the toilet and see if Catarina appeared when you returned. Trying not to let your anxieties get the better of you. You still had no idea how this worked after all, but thankfully, a quick spank to Jessica’s ass was enough to calm your worries, and when you returned to your drawing room, you were delighted to find the shuffling of footsteps that could only belong to one person.

She was there, with a stunned expression on her face as she took in the world around her. Unlike Jessica Rabbit, she didn’t seem to be angry about her surroundings, nor did she turn on you when you arrived.

“I’m back? Back in the real world?” She asked, muttering to herself as she looked around the drawing room. “But this isn’t my own house. This is more like those rooms in those Western cartoons. Is that where I am? Am I now in a Transformers show? Or perhaps a Kim Possible?”

She didn’t seem to notice you as she looked around, you could easily imagine all the little Catarina’s in her head arguing about which world she had now been isekaied to.

“But that would mean…” She stopped, realisation dawning on her face. Then she punched the air with a grin. “I’VE AVOIDED MY DOOM!”

“Doom averted, doom averted!” She sang to herself, dancing in the room as she cheered to herself. Then she saw her reflection in the window and paused, squinting at herself in the mirror. “Still Catarina Claes though, still the villainess.”

She started pinching her cheeks and running her fingers through her hair.” “Same nose, cheeks cheek, body seems the same, wait-“

She ran her body over her tits, tits which you admittedly might have drawn to be slightly larger than the game. “Aw did I put on weight? Keith always warned me-“ She started speaking with an exaggerated grouch-“Catarina you’re eating far too many sweets. You’re going to be the size of an elephant if you don’t stop.”

She paused. “I guess this means I got the good ending.” Catarina sighed. “Guess that means I won’t see Keith again, now that he’s with Maria. Or Geodo. Maybe one of the others might visit me in exile? Would be nice to see Mary or Sophia again at the very least. I hope they don’t hate me now.”

It didn’t take you long to figure out what was going through Catarina’s head. Whilst Catarina had never followed any train of thought, the people of her world could understand that the viewer was given a different perspective. In the Otome game, she was isekaied into a world where Catarina was the cruel villainess the good ending of the game Caterina had her being exiled from her home. This would probably be what Caterina had assumed had happened, a fitting comeuppance for the game Catarina.

Of course, not something that would ever actually happen to the isekai Catarina, but that was part of her charm. You stepped forward, coughed, and brought Catarina’s attention to him.

“Oh, hi there! I’m so sorry, I should have checked if anyone was nearby. Is this your house? It’s super nice if it is.” Caterina Claes said, rushing up to you with a smile. She clutched your hands and looked into your eyes. Her smile was a wide beam that was reflected in her sapphire eyes, not a hint of malice or insincerity in them.

"It is, I'm glad you like it, Catarina." You say with a smile.

"Oh, you know my name? Did we meet already? Urgh... did I forget?" Catarina started rubbing her head and furrowing her brow as she tried to figure out if you and her had already met.

"Oh no, I just know you from reputation." You lie as you walk through the room, smiling. You had to ponder how you wanted to play this, go for the throat or take your time?

"Do you know a place I can stay? I don't think I can go home anymore. I might not be able to pay right now but I can help you garden and grow food or flowers if you need to. I was trying to learn how to cook from Maria and I think I can learn a lot more from cookbooks. Just for a little while if you don't mind, I'll promise to be the best house guest I can possibly be." She pleaded, bowing before you.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you're going to be a wonderful houseguest. I'm certain you're going to be wonderful company." You say, smiling when an idea comes to your mind.

"Oh, thank you!" Catarina exclaims, pulling you into a deep hug. "I promise to be the best roommate ever. We can have sleepovers, we can have game nights-OH! Do you have video games in this world? They had them in my old world and I loved playing them, especially with my friend Atsuko. I wonder if there are any new games out? Oh, I must be missing out on so much."

"We'll get to all that, but first can I just get to my notebook. I need to make a note.” You wheezed through her bear crushing hug. She was strong, much stronger than you expected, but then again Catarina was both a trained sword fighter and a woman with a hobby for farming so perhaps it shouldn’t be such a surprise.

“Oh, oh, of course. You must be a busy worker, and here I am yapping about all this nonsense. Agh, silly me.” She said smiling and letting you go. “You need anything? I could get some cleaning done if you like.”

“No need for that, my maid and sex **** Jessica will see to that.” You say, finishing off your note on the page.

“Sex ****? Are you talking about some hentai? Or maybe I misheard you right.” Caterina said, eyes blinking as she struggled to smile upon your mention.

“Here.” You say, holding up the notebook. “I think this will clear it up.”

Catarina’s pupils shrink as she reads what’s in your notebook. Of course, reading what you’ve written isn’t the catalyst of her change as much as the fact that you’ve written it at all. You have to wonder if she can recognise that what you’ve written is the cause of the change, or if the magic of the drawing prevented her or Jessica from making that realising. Then again, Catarina’s understanding of cause and effect had always been tenuous at the best of times.

Caterina Claes will think she has been isekaied into her favourite perverted hentai dating game, where the only ending that doesn’t result in her doom is the harem ending.

“What? Again?”

A/N: Making a small few chapters here, shouldn’t be anything major. Thanks to awesomeness for proofreading and providing the images. Will probably only provide a few chapters of this, maybe with a branching path.
