Chapter 101: The Adventure Continues –You Can (Not) Continue.


Chrome. Hachiman followed that name. The name followed him. He was a rotten dead fish eyed loner with no purpose in life except for a stupid dream to become a househusband. Then there was his search for the illusive.

Genuine.

It seemed like centuries .

A quest.

An adventure.

A bother.

In Ikebukoro, Hachiman found Chrome AKA Izaya Orihara. The manipulative flea trapped him in his clever schemes and mechanisations. Then the city almost got destroyed when someone found there head. Funny how life works. Usually it's the other way around.

Then he got infected by a Parasyte; monsters that butcher and consume humans. Hachiman learnt to co-exist with the creature. The voices in his head were nothing to joke about. But he had a friend, at least. His first friend.

Hachiman became a Hunter. Then a Hero. Then an Alchemist. Then The God of The New World. The Death Note was fun. His time in the Survey Corp wasn't. Titans were not big zombies, he came to realise fast. And, no Hachiman didn't look like Captain Levi, even though he thought the two of them had the same rotten dead fish eyes.

Hachiman thought he could fix the world. Time travel. But Steins; Gate proved to be too much. An infinite loop. He was stuck. It was better to be a Man-slayer. Then he went across the ocean. A Pirate's life perhaps. Search for the One Piece. It better not be a swimsuit, Hachiman thought.

Then he made a contract with the devil. Hachiman got a Geass. So long, rotten dead fish eyes. Then he ran into wizard. A Guild called Fairy Tale. Again too much. Village hidden in the leaf. God, the loud shouts and the fact that the village always got destroyed, yeah, Hachiman was better off, drifting in space.

He got picked up by a bunch of bounty hunters. Their space ship was called Bebop. No one knew, what the Cowboy was about. Hachiman liked the time he spent up there. Again he had someone with bad eyes. But apparently he was too cool, so the eye part didn't matter.

Vash the Stampede was a cool guy in a jacket too.

He had a nice philosophy, Hachiman thought.

Then someone made a wish on a Dragon. A giant green dragon. And the world lost its mind. In that, Hachiman didn't know what happened. But he found himself in an Assassination Classroom. The yellow octopus would loved to marry Hiratsuka-sensei, Hachiman thought.

Then he meant his ancestors. Yes. Rotten dead fish eyes met rotten dead fish eyes. Hachiman Hikigaya met Gintoki Sakata. One wanted something genuine, the other wanted straight hair.

Then there was the real men. An entire family of posers. The JoJos. Hachiman had the misfortune of meeting each one of them. Suffice to say, he couldn't stand them.

Then he got hit by a truck.

It was being driven by someone called "The Accountant."

Hachiman found himself in an another world.

By then he tried to kill himself a thousand time. But he couldn't die. He came back to life at a fixed point. A saving point of sorts.

Then the world turned into Orange Fanta and he found himself being hugged by a lot of women. First it was some blue haired girl, but then she turned into well…someone he might have loved in another life and she kissed him and he dissolved.

Then he found himself in another world. This time with another useless goddess. Yes, he met two. The last one controlled water and by control, he meant she cried a lot.

Then someone defeated the Demon Lord from nowhere. Hachiman didn't have to do that himself. He instead went on quests with a soft spoken, silver ranked adventurer who didn't talk much. He said, "sokka" and "aa" and killed goblins.

Hachiman killed goblins too.

Then with the help of a female witch, who reminded him a lot of Ebina Hina, he crossed over into the other side of the game board of Gods.

And landed back into the world he knew.

Only, he got hit by a truck.

Again.

Then, he met another God.

But at least this one was better. Yukino would have liked Yato. Perhaps it was because he had blue eyes like a cat. He had to pay five yen for a request, to get his soul back into his body. Yato never solved that request.

Mob did.

Now, that was a good kid.

But Hachiman didn't like Death the Kidd. And it was not because, he held his gun weirdly, or because those girls turned into women who were sisters. No, it was because, Kidd was obsessed with the number Eight. Beautifully Symmetrical.

Hachiman escaped his obsessions and got involved in a Holy Grail War.

He died in the war. Third time dying, maybe.

And he became a Shinigami. A lot of bleach was involved to get the blood off. And the orange haired kid was a bit of a stuck up. Hachiman still didn't know why you need to shout every time you attack someone.

Then, by some miracle he found himself in a bar.

Yeah. Hachiman needed a drink. But the bartender wanted him to play a game. Death Billiards.

Hachiman won, because he was good at games.

He woke back up in a hospital.

It looked like he was back on earth. Back in Japan.

The Doctor said his Name was Black Jack.

"No, my name is Hachiman Hikigaya."

"…Yes. I mean, my name is Black Jack. Dr. Black Jack."

He was a good doctor. A better surgeon.

He turned him into a Ghoul.

He couldn't eat ramen.

Okay, life was bad.

He was hunted by Alucard.

Yes, Dracula spelt backwards.

But even then he found time to save a loli ghost from a vampire pervert.

"My name is Hachikuji Mayoi. What is your name, Onii-chan?"

Hachiman thought about Komachi. He then thought about the perverted vampire. He should walk the little girl who called him Onii-chan, back to her home.

"I'm Hikigaya Hachiman."

Hachiman later found out that she went to Tsunade's Place.

He ran for it. He had already enough trouble with the leaf village.

But then he got into trouble with the law enforcement agencies.

Motoko Kusunagi.

Shinya Kogami.

The last one kicked his ass while giving him a lecture on philosophy. At least Major Motoko Kusunagi had something useful to say.

He got thrown in a mental institution. Thank fully.

He escaped because it was Arkham Asylum.

Then he ran into a nice girl.

"Yuigahama?"

"No, Yuno. Yuno Gasai. Have you seen Yuki?"

Or he thought she was a nice girl.

What's up with this pink haired girls and their obsessions with people named Yuki?

Turns out….well let's not go there.

He escaped the game of death.

He found himself back in time because he fell down a well. Inuyasha and the Shikon Jewels. Seriously, that cat or was it a dog, whatever the hell kinda demon he was, he needed to chill and sit down for a bit.

Oh wait.

Then, he ran into Mugen.

Hachiman was pretty sure time was messed up.

He decided to become a merchant.

He meant a fox spirit. Yeah, much better than Naruto. This one was smart and a girl. Well, she was goddess. Her name was Holo.

Then he met the Seven Deadly Sins.

Merlin, who turned out to be a woman, transported Hachiman back to the real world.

Well, at least it felt like the real world.

Then, a comet named Charlotte zoomed past in outer space and normal guys like him ended up with this supernatural abilities. Was it really that hard to find a normal life. Well, maybe it was because the most normal life experience, Hachiman had so far was to work at a burger joint where the Devil was a Part-Timer.

He was actually a nice guy.

But Son Goku wasn't a nice guy.

He ate a lot and that meant more work for him.

Hachiman hated that guy. He was a dead beat father who just liked to pick a fight with people to become stronger.

Well, he met his match in Saitama.

He One-Punched him to the moon.

Saitama was a nice guy.

But he really should have invested more in mosquito repellents.

The world could have been saved.

But he slapped the floor of a dojo and the world exploded.

Hachiman survived because, he was like a cockroach.

Then, the world was save again.

This time by a psychic.

Saiki K. He was a nice guy too. A bit creepy because he communicated with his mind, telepathy but Hachiman had no excuse. He saved the world.

By then, Hachiman was really losing his mind.

"Please, I want something genuine."

But his wish couldn't be granted because he didn't have the proper parts to become a magical girl.

But seconds time the charm or was it the third.

He thought Alladin would be taller. Or at least not a pervert.

But Hachiman got his wish. He didn't need to rule the stars.

He knew what he wanted.

"I want something genuine." Hachiman said, to the blue Djinn or blue Genie and right now he was really losing his mind. Was it the Disney one or the Anime one? Oh God, he was becoming like Gintoki. The fourth wall was falling to pieces.

But there was a light.

And then darkness.

And everything reflected the darkness.

And thus, Hachiman Hikigaya found himself in the new world.

The brand new world, where everything and everyone existed together. The past. The present. The future.

Was this genuine?

Perhaps, Hachiman thought.

But even if it wasn't he could make it work.

In this world which came with its own set of troubles and problems, I, Hikigaya Hachiman would be better, he made a promise to himself.

We, said the monster in the back of his rotten mind, would be better.

A/N: I never thought, I would upload a new chapter in this fic. I started writing this fic the first time, because I needed something easy to keep off worries from my mind and this entire fic has always been about that. It helped me a lot in troubling times.

And so, now, with what is happening in the world, VSD etc spoke to me as if it was Thanos. "You could not live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me."

Or something like that.

So, everyone: Stay Calm. And Read Fanfics.

With that said: Check out: "The Loner's Truth."

If you enjoyed this chapter "ONLY", then you will love that fic, because I kinda took the options there and started a new story!

Hope everyone enjoyed reading this chapter.

Leave lots and lots of reviews, follow and fave.

Won't betray your dreams.


P.S: This chapter is just a hint of the chaos which will unfold in "The Loner's Truth". Don't worry though, there will be romance (oh, some of the pairing will make you wonder whether I have lost my mind).
