Devourer of the Nine Worlds

by luka ririnki

Just one of the strongest players in YGGDRASIL enjoys his favorite game to the last second of the game. Until for unknown reason he gets transported to a whole new foreign but familiar world. (OCxHarem, there also a lot of OC harem from the NPC to the Goddesses)

4. Chapter 4

(My day was just fine, then BOOM, Kaicho announced her graduation)

English is not my mother tongue, I live in a SEA country where people rarely speaking English.

My dumbass ass just learned that 'adorn' and 'adore' have a different meaning, holy shit, I'm so fucking embarrassing.

I accept all kinds of criticism, even the negative one, it will make my urge to kill myself stronger. Romance and action or writing itself is not my forte, actually, I have no forte in anything because I'm a failure at everything.

Anxiety + depression + social anxiety + low self-esteem + insecure about everything + no motivation + no money + too lazy to die = me. Honestly, I'm just tired of everything. By this point, I writing just as another excuse to live and pass time. I really need to gather my life together instead of doing meaningless shits like this.

Warning! Grammar Is So Shit It Can Make You Go Blind, Nuisance, And Many Other Diseases. You Have Been Warned, Read At Your Own Risk.

P.S, Luka Ririnki is obviously not my real name lmao. This name comes from my favorite Vocaloid, "Luka" Megurine, and "Ririnki" is a word that I think sounds cool because it sounds like Kakashi's Raikiri. I made this account back when in my middle school days, okay. I still called myself "otaku", not a "weeb", it's my cringe days, I'm sure everyone has their own dark past.

(Hololive Alternative PV was so good! Rushia was so cute and stunning)

- France, 23 July 1477 –

I don't know if she is aware of it or not, but she sucked at hiding. It's been already one hour since she started following me, and yet there's no sign of she will stop this child's play.

She is a dark-haired young girl of short but curvy stature with pale skin and bright ocean blue eyes. She dresses in a high-quality dress.

A proportion body that almost every female supernatural being in this world owns, from her clothes I guess she must be a noble.

Her noble attire is a sight for sore eyes in this rustic countryside, the two of us I mean.

Since she can cut through my invisible magic, she got some talent. I have a spell around my boy to make me bleeding out of existence, now I'm invisible to everyone except for a selected few, and yet she still can spot me, quite skillful despite her young appearance.

And this aura… she is a devil.

Why is a noble from one of 72 pillars wandering alone in the mortal world without any guard?

Actually, why is she following in the first place? Rather, who is she?

It's not that I have problems being following by a cute girl like her, and she seems a nice girl too.

Usually, there are only two categories of what kind of individuals I will encounter when I take my usual scroll.

One is infuriating likes of Aphrodite or Indra, I want to punch their face just by remembering them.

Two is the battle maniac, the likes of Crom or Typhon, they just keep coming back even after I kick their asses continuously.

Stop challenge me dammit, maybe I should kill them for real the next time they come at me.

Well, fighting is fun, I'm enjoying it, especially when I trumped arrogant assholes and absolutely destroy their mental and spirit by showing the insurmountable of power between mine and them, honestly the look of despair they had when they know they fucked up… I can't get enough.

But you know what, when you keep on winning… at first it was fun, I win, kept win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, and win.

Until finally I get tired of it.

It's become boring. It doesn't matter who my opponent is, because I will win in the end, winning is like breathing at this point, so natural and so easy.

Punching someone's face is fun though.

That is as long my opponent is not the (self-proclaimed) older sisters of mine, the annoying delinquent red dragon or stoic freeloader dark dragon, sometimes they can be annoying… scratch that, 24/7 they are

always annoy me, but… I like it, as a former only child, having siblings like friends to annoy and play together can be quite fun, I will never admit it in front of them, though.

Of course, I will win even against them, I'm not the strongest for nothing, but it was too much pain, trying to defeat them is like fighting against World Enemy with boundless HP and MP.

But still, both… three if I count my older sisters, all of them are annoyingly the same and just a waste of time.

So being stalked by a cute nice girl like her is a welcoming change of pace for me.

However it still defeats on purpose, to begin with, I was sneaking outside Babylon without telling any of my Commanders or Guardians because I want to be alone for a while, it's just a matter of time before Vilko, Jack, Reze, or Märche finds my location, then it will either they will force themselves to accompany me or I decide to come back home with them.

"[Teleportation]" in an instant blink eye I'm already standing behind her.

"He's vanished!?" she's frantically looking for me, shake her head left to right in a rapid move.

"Without a trace," she murmured after she put her hand under her chin.

From her small posture, she must be around 14-17 years old, seriously what is she doing here without any guard?

Take a note to myself after spending time in this world for more than 1000 years, I know more than anyone to not judge supernatural beings just based solely on their appearance, looks can be deceiving, this little girl can be around 100 or 200 years old for all I know.

"Is there something you need from me, young lady?" lightly I pat her head, causing her to yelp.

Oh smooth hair, nice… fuck, I'm sound like a creepy old man.

In rigid tottering almost automatic reaction she turns her body looks up at my face.

"Good day isn't it? First, can I ask your name," I continue to pat her head carelessly.

"Myy….m..mm..mmm…nna…..nan…me," she let out an unintelligible word, sweating profusely.

"Ahahah~~" from her reaction, she must be still a kid. After what I did for the past years I've become quite famous in this world so this kind of reaction is not new to me, especially from the young fellow.

"Calm down, there's no need to panic, I won't bite you, take a deep breath."

Following my words she inhaled a significant amount of oxygen into her lungs, calmly closing her eyes for a few seconds before exhaling the air from her mouth.

"Mm… my name is Serafall Sitri, pleased to meet you, sir." She makes a curtly bowing, as expected from a noble, she sure can control her emotion well, despite still being under pressure.

"That's a beautiful name, and no need so tense formal, just relax, ahahaha~~" I try to lighten up the mood.

Hmm… hold on… Sitri? Do you mean that Sitri? Does that mean this girl is Sallila's granddaughter?

Ahaha, what the hell, now this is what I call pleasant surprise.

"Nice to meet you!" I said elatedly.

- Ireland, 12 April, 444 -

The first quest: find a cat.

Last quest: Kill the Demon Lord.

That is how most RPG stories going, the fundamental composition of RPG game stories, and set in a fantasy world, a combination that would capture anyone's heart with the passion for adventure. This genre is loved by the majority of teenagers around the world

You can become something that only possible in a dream world, become a knight that will become the sword saint of the kingdom and married to the princes, become the beast-man and build your own tribe, or become the dragon and destroy the nation, it's all up to your choice. It's truly the dream world and the roman for the kids.

I always imagine this second life of mine is like that, too. The fateful meeting with one of the most famous magicians in the world, kill a bunch of monsters and decided to travel the world together with the said famous figure, all of that provide as proves to my imagination.

But what is this?

First quest: kill the goblins and save the village.

Second quest: fight the god.

No matter what you think of it, it's simply ridiculous, where's intermediate, the second quest should be "saving a child from Minotaur" or "defeat the cursed golem", not exchange blow with the god himself. What kind of development is this?

Let's move, so after that ridiculous second quest, we, me and Merlin, are escorted to the otherworld of Celtic. The first supernatural realm I step into this world and with this new body. I was naïve to think this world was exquisite because this place is simply put to shame all the scenery I've seen so far.

It's not even competition, the scenery, the building, and the vibe this place emits is beyond description, this exquisite taste of the air, I feel as though I am breathing the air of paradise, it's like some enchanted fairy mist, all the aspects in this place is out of the chart, this place is something I can only imagine from a fairy tale.

And right now we are waiting in one of the rooms they prepared for us, inside the building that strangely enough similar to the Pisa tower in Italy. I waiting with Merlin for the next instruction from them, it's been quite a while since he told us to be good prisoners, and waiting patiently for he said he will talk to the other high-rank deity in this faction, including discussing the next decision for my action.

Merlin is fine, like he promised to me, they really do nothing to Merlin, in fact, they actually treat Merlin in rather nice treatment. No nervous look, no thread that engulfed your hand, and no animosity from the… people around us.

Meanwhile for me, not only I got my hands handcuffed, even with that, all of them still giving me nervous, angry glare, one glimpse of my stare is enough to break their posture, I don't even do anything to send shiver to their spine other than just standing still… honestly, what they think of me exactly.

Heart pounding hard, rapid breath, lot of sweet, they really tried their best to show how calm they are… but it's still not enough, the fear that leak from their body is so adamant to all my senses. The smell of fear is so potent coming from all of them, it was an intriguing smell, yet strangely intoxicating.

It's like I've been did something horribly wrong to them… my non-existent family would be disappointed in me, sorry mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma, I failed you.

Well, joke aside, this is really bad… like really, really bad. The scared smell coming from them is absurdly pleasant to me. I already aware of it since the second day I come into this world, but something weird is happening to me, not just psychical and mentally, but in my ego as well. There's no way a human would felt pleased while people around them directed a negative emotion to them.

It frightened me if in just a few days is enough to change my view on life drastically like this, what would have become of me in few months, even years with this body… scary, the thought of me become a heartless monster with no humanity, it scares me.

Because above anything, no matter what body has become… deep down I'm still a normal human, and I have no intention to discard my humanity.

"You seem to have a lot thought after we come here," the brat opens his loud mouth, "I don't know what you been thinking, but let put that aside for now, look outside, the scenery in here is something else, you know."

Why am I the one being calmed down here? That should be my role, I'm his guardian. But, well, it did help me a little.

No, the biggest question here is how he's still can remain calm despite this situation. Did he believe in me that much? To the point, he's not felt threatened in here? He feels reassured just because of my promise and presence? It rather nice to know someone believes in me some much like this.

Blinking a handful of times, I rub the area between my eyes, trying to relax my body.

"Yeah, sorry, just thinking something," he's is right, it just a waste of time to meddle about it, thinking about unknown future, and worrying about what will happen to me, that is the future me problem. If I don't want to become a monster, then all I can do is try my best to keep stay being as human as possible.

Right now just enjoy the moment I live in.

Looks into him, Merlin is standing beside the window, appreciating the scenery outside. Getting up from the sofa, I stretched the stiffness from sit too long. I take my time to swallow information about this room.

This room is really beautiful… no, not only the room, everything in here is too beautiful. This place is something you can only see in a famous painting, the floor and walls constructed of pure white marble, and gold, black, and green paint, regal decoration, and luxurious furniture, fresh beverage, and fresh snack fruit. Everything in this room reminds me of the painting -The School of Athens- by Raphael.

I thought he would throw me and Merlin to the prison, instead, he told us to wait in this room, the room that will make the five stars hotel ashamed of their service.

Take a small grape and put it in my mouth, hmm… compare to the fruit I had eat up until now in this world this one has a mystic taste to its essence, the sweetness of the grape instantly filled my mouth. Hmm… tasty.

*knock**knock**knock*

Knocking sound coming from the door, stooping my eyes to admire this room further and take more fruit, I and Merlin turn to the door, some rune words glowing for a moment in that door and see the red-haired man open it, so that's the Rune magic, that's cool I want, I wonder if I can learn it? I think even without World Enemy boots, I can easily learn a new spell, with my original job class only.

And what's the point of him knocking if he just will open it without my consent.

"Pardon me, sorry to keep you waiting, now follow me!" he says with the high spirit more than necessary.

Can someone explain to me why he's the one excited here?

And so we follow him, like the guilty party that we are, walking through the majestic hallway.

"It might too much, but can you remove… this rope from my hands?" with my physical power, I can easily break free from this knot, but it would make my already bad image become even worse.

"I too think it's better if you without that obstacle, that way thing would be more interesting, but it would put the other in even more distress state than they already are," he turns, look at me.

"So just bears with it for a moment longer."

What do you mean by "obstacle?"

Everything about him is so calm, or carefree I think, that word is the more proper to describe him.

In our first encounter, he without a second thought and abruptly attack me with no intention other than to eliminate any threat towards his people. And yet now he treats me like long old friends just reunite again after a period of separation, that may be a little exaggerated in my case, but it still explains how his attitude toward me.

"Well let's put that aside for now, we arrive, behind this door, all the higher-ups from my faction are waiting for you," he sends an almost cocky smirk at me, no, that was wrong, that was an impatient smirk, it's more like he's having the moment of his life. And honestly, I understand that feeling.

He pushes opens the large elegant door with picturesque harps and flowers, the beautiful female fairy playing the instrument carved on the door's surface. This height door probably is around six to eight meters. What the hell, is there a giant god in Celtic?

The door stood there as if it were an invitation. It was a portal to something new, a good thing to enjoy, or a challenge to make better. The only way to find out what kind of gift this would become was to reach in, be brave, and step in.

Stand still for a brief moment, I take my time to prepare myself.

"Hey, are you ready, kid?" takes my eyes away from the door I ask Merlin.

"To be honest, no, but well, what can I do in this situation?" his choice of words makes him sounded like he's desperate, but for me who spend day after day with him, I know what he means by that.

He's staring back at me with determination while giving an honest smile.

"Well, let's—"

Before I take the step in I hear the soft sound of sandals, simultaneously we look at the source, at the same time we see a tall beautiful woman walking with flawless regality in my… or rather in our direction.

The thought that immediately flashed through my mind when I see her was - how beautiful -.

She was an extraordinary beautiful mature woman. No, simply calling her beautiful, gorgeous, pretty would almost be sound an insult to her perfect being in sense. Words alone could not and would not do her beauty justice, or would be enough to describe how attractive she is.

She takes an appearance of a young woman in her early mid-twenties. She has mesmerizing long deep wine purple hair that reaches all the way down her back, and her exposed pale skin was as white as the purest snow. Beautiful almond-shaped red eyes that remind me of the Lycoris Radiata flower that shone with inhuman intellect and gorgeous eyebrows, and succulent maroon lips.

I'm not sure if I can call her tall, but she is as tall as my former self in height. Curvaceous body of glass hour proportion, not to sound creepy or anything, but she's more muscular than I thought she was, it was so noticeable that I fail to notice it… no, I'm not overlooking it, her beauty simply distracts me from how sturdy her body is, the muscle on her shoulder is so apparent just with a single glance I can tell it was a development of assiduous training, but it still lean and without a single waste, how her body builds giving impression she is a strong warrior, and yet curvaceous and immaculate to stun men and women alike in admiration.

She wore a simple yet elegant white old styled dress with wrapped off -the shoulder sleeve, a long -skirt cover her bottom half with a wide slit on each side showing most of her not a blemish milky skin thighs, and a belt made of something that looks like brown leather, on the right leg she wears an of long brown strap sandals that slither until her mid-thigh, and fashionable gladiator sandals covering her feet to her calf on her left feet. A translucent veil keeps in place by large hair clips adorned on each side of her head, and short cloak over her shoulder, connected by the single bronze pauldron, white fingerless short bridal gloves enveloping each of her hands, and finally a gold chain like necklace adds another supernatural beauty for her whole being.

Her attire for some reason gave me the impression of a bride on her wedding day.

She was truly a woman with valid divine beauty, so beautiful enough to make the sound of her sandals seems like the pleasant sound of whistling violin from the most talented violinist.

The face which was beautiful beyond belief, even by the new beauty standard of my current transmigrated world she was a world apart from any female supernatural being I've seen so far, by all means, I already know how beautiful they are, the Valkyrie and Angels are so incredibly pretty with regality aura surrounding them that added sublime to their whole being, but for this woman… it's just different, there something unfamiliar to me that tie my all senses to her.

A person could spend their entire lifetime and fortune to searching for someone as beautiful as her in my real world and I'm still certain they will fail in to find someone to match her radiance.

She smells nice, like a wet pebble, ash, and a dried flower, it's a grim fragrant, a smell that should be unpleasant and yet strangely stimulatingly for me… fuck! I'm sound like a real pervert just now, I'm so sorry.

No good, I can let the emotion get the better of me if continue like this… I'm sure I will waste time writing three pages of essays just for describing how beautiful she is.

I can make the list of the top ten most beautiful women in my real world, and the list would have consisted of famous models and actress, even in the unsaved polluted world the celebrities are still beautiful, charismatic, and talented people, and yet I'm certain for sure that this woman would be bested all of them in all aspects.

I'd never meet a famous person directly before… wait for a second… I've seen one I guess, outside online game ErooroShota is actually a famous model after all, but since I've been so close with her in the game I forgot that she is famous person, every time we met offline I just don't felt any special presence around her, the presence I usually felt famous people I watched in television.

But for the woman in front of me, there's something different about her, by just walking she's already successful to steal all my spotlights for herself, is it because she is a goddess?

This woman is like someone who comes straight from a fantasy world, you know about the perfect beautiful anime characters? Yeah, this woman is like these characters. A perfect woman that should only exist in fiction.

And apparently, I'm not the only one who surprises by the new arrival, because the red-haired man beside me also could not hide his shock while looking at her.

"Now, the thing just getting more interesting, it's been a while since you come out of your cohabitation… I'm glad you seem well, queen of the land of shadow, Scathach," Lugh's bow a bit, greeting the gatekeepers of Land of Shadow, he executed it in gentleman's manners.

Well, am I lucky, the second legendary figure I encountered… umm… I mean the third figures, if Merlin is counted. First is the famous wizard from Arthurian legend, second is the God of Storm, and the third is the God Slayer of Celtic herself, the Queen of Dun Scaith, the mythological abode of the dead.

She stops when she just a few feet from us, "I have no intention to take a stage, too," she bats her deep crimson eyes on me, "I just sense something interesting will happen… so is he the one?" the way she talks are so tender and delicately soft, it almost as if she was not here in front of me, and if I dare to touch her she would break even at the most gentle cares.

"Hello," yeah, greet her casually.

While I observe the woman, suddenly I felt an arm wrapped around my neck, "that's right. This is Arah Auintyr Dragonika, the vagrant dragon from another dimension, and the one and only responsible individual of the strange events for the last few days." He said with a jovial air of sarcasm, it's like he introduces his long friend to one of his acquaintances… and yeah he's definitely having fun right now.

And, personal space if you mind. Thank you very much.

"Please don't call me that," what am I thinking when giving that nickname to myself before.

"Vagrant?" an innocent almost adorable confusion growing on her pretty face.

"And another dimension…? Isn't that unusual, is he from Yggdrasil or Olympus? Why would everyone gather behind this door just for that?" she said it, with even more confusion, I swear I can see a question mark above her head.

"Well, if he's just from the other realm we don't need to go through so much trouble, right?" he let go of my neck.

After I short silence pause he trailing off.

"So? You want to join us or go back home?"

What was that pause?

Am I become invisible or what, they are talking like I'm not here.

She puts he hand below her lip and the other arm under her bust, no matter how I look at her, she was a truly elegant woman, after ruminating for a short moment, she cocks her head in my direction, her eyes… despite it lazy apparent, it still gives me the impression of someone who's constantly always taking in all the information from any object or subject she is staring at.

"Maybe I will stick around for a bit."

"Good. Now let's go," is this man a happy-go-lucky type? Since before I've not feels his excitement would be dampened in any moments.

Well, about time, even with unexpected appearance make a little delay, but I guess it's worth the time.

I can feel several eyes fall on me the moment I take a step into this room, this room resembles with the conference room in the guild base of World Searcher. Look at the gigantic table I see fourteen individuals sit waiting in the prepared chairs, glancing at each of the faces in this room, I try to take as much information I can get, I can see two individual at the end of a giant table, compared to the other present participation, they feel… different.

Just from where they took sits I know they have different standing positions compare to the others, on top of that the air around them, I have a feeling they have more important roles than any others individuals in this room. They must be the Dadga and Danu.

Holy shit, he's HUGE, is he a bear?

And that pale-skinned woman in the fourth row after Dagda's seat must be the Morrigan… as I expected she is into gothic-Esque, her skin was porcelain-like and pure white, so white that it seemed any semblance of color had been completely bleached away from her existence, the contrast between her black clothing and the whiteness of her skin is helped her appears more beautiful.

I keep tried to study their appearance and hoping there's some kind of familiar sign in their characters to indicate who they are… and I see… as I thought, I don't understand, I can tell who they are. Not even one of them.

Pitying my own identification skill self, my ears catch few whispers.

"Hoo… it's just one surprise after another."

"Indeed, how long has it been since we see Scathach in flesh?"

"I think this is the first time in 600 years. Setanta, you know."

"Oh right, I forgot."

I better get customized to how pretty these supernatural beings are, like what the hell man, these goddesses is too pretty you know, they simply breathtaking, it's should be a crime to these exquisite creatures to exists in large number like this, if I'm not getting used to it soon, I'm afraid I will waste a lot of times just to describe and adoring of how beautiful they are.

For the women other than the gothic one, they all are wearing the same dress that resembles with what's Scathach's dress with only a few differences in some parts.

"Can you all focus, Scathach's unexpected appearance is indeed a surprise, but I believe there's a more urgent matter in our hands, right now."

"Yeah, you are right. Hmm~~~ so that's the man."

"Aren't he nice." Thank you very much.

"9.5/10, just for the face." Wtf woman, make it 10 and we have a deal.

"That child is quite cute." I agree.

And so the whispers continue.

Wait… why are they so casual about all of this, I thought they would be warier after what am I doing.

"Now, take a sit here, we just want to ask you one or two questions," Lugh's guided me and Merlin to the seats on the other ends, while Scathach wordlessly takes sit on one of an empty seat.

After I sat, Lugh takes his own seat, not too far away from me.

"Well, as the starts of this interrogation let me introduce ourselves first. My name is Arah Auintyr Dragonika, the dragon who crosses the dimension, and this child is Merlin Ambrosius, a random child that I happen to come across and decided to take care of him," I ended my introduction with claps of my hands, and playfully wink one eye.

Awkward silence.

"What kind of introduction was that supposed to mean?" Merlin speaks for everyone for the rest of everyone here.

Someone let out a fake cough to clear the awkward atmosphere.

"First of all, can you elaborate us about this "another dimension" you mention," the bear dude asks the opening question.

Hmm, ~ 94.

Oh shit, here we go again.

TL:DR.

"… so to put it simply, I come from another universe and I don't even know the cause why. That was the end of the beginning of my story."

There's come the heavy unbearable silence.

"That's… unexpected," Lugh make a comment after the silence that felt like eternity… how dramatic.

"Yes, this will be creating massive ruckus if this information spreads," one of the women in the room with the seashore blue-haired woman spoke.

86.

"Heh… heh…. what…. an…. Interesting….. fact… no…..?" the gothic woman mused out loud, she contributes for the first time since this meeting began.

And the way she talks was so annoyingly slow, but it's still managed to sound cool and fit with her aesthetic.

90.

"Everything that unknown is always "interesting fact" for you, Morrigan," another woman retort, and just like every other woman in this room, she was an extremely beautiful young woman with elegant ambiance, glossy blonde hair that covers one side of her face and the rest tied in a bun.

85.

"Something….. we… don't...understand… is ….. always… fascinating…. and…. intriguing… to …..explore….more…wouldn't…. you…. agree….. Dear?" she hummed in a honeyed voice as she thought about it.

"Don't call me "Dear"!" she growls at the woman.

"Fuu… fu….. as… daring….. as… ever….." the other woman was clearly irritated by her, and despite that her amusement was not depleted.

"You lot jump to a conclusion here. First of all, can we even believe of what he said," the harsh and deep voice interrupting the bicker of the two goddesses.

Damn, this dude is cool, deep blue skin, he dons in wild tribal clothes and a large tattered cloak, the most noticeable feature being the two large gold antler-like horns protruding from the sides of his head pointing upward, he seated in cross-legged. This dude kinda reminds me of Jeronimo from the Apache.

Wtf, what kind of god is he?

Anyway, 89.

"We can, he's not telling any lies," Lugh offer his statement out of nowhere.

"You sure?" this time it was an old man with a large handlebar mustache style, and a long beard which went all the way down to the ground, he was wearing what seemed to be a high-level warrior of the Celtic clothes with some gold plating there and here, the difference is he wore a thick fur black cape. 88.

Lugh's just nodded his head in response.

"Well, if Lugh said so, then it must be true," Scathach, open her pretty mouth since she entered this room. Anyway, it's better late than never,

90.

"I know you all must be shocked by this, but let's move to the second question," the bear dude tries to control his expression, he's doing an excellent job despite still can't get over his shock.

"Why are you grant your blessing to large numbers of humans?" he folding his hands in front of his face, hiding his chin, the famous Gendo's pose from the legendary anime, Evangelion.

Hmm… gave my blessing to a large number of humans? What is he talking about?

…

…

…

Ahh! You meant about gave magic to the humans? You should speak more clearly, that may look like a blessing at first glance, but that's not my true blessing at all, I have my own true blessing and it much better and useful than just give some magical circuit to them.

Speaking of that matter, holy shit, I legit forgot about that, what was the motive again? Uhh… darn it, I don't remember, fuck... what was it again, is there even one? I think it's about an experiment or something.

Fuck, it was so insignificant that I don't even remember it, why I give magic to some humans?

Is it because I'm a kind person? Maybe, no matter what happened with my body as long I still remember my parents, my grandpa, and grandma, my friends, I'm sure I will try to be a good person, I don't them to disappointed in me no matter what… even if they are not here. But honestly, I'm not that kind, like seriously.

Is it because I want to help humans? Not really, to be honest I don't care about how human lives in this world, it's the job of deity to take care of them. If I want to help them, I should teach and guide them, not only give them magic. What I did right now is like giving a child a smartphone but never teach them how to operate it, in the end, the child got bored and still playing with old toys they own.

Is it because I think it's a cool move to do? This one might be right, knowing how childish I can be, this one sounds the most correct with my personality.

Let's just say I forgot, but again, I don't think this answer would be satisfied them, but if I decide to make a false answer and told lies, somehow Lugh can know about my false answer. It will only make my reputation even worse. Let's think for a better answer…

Nope, my mind drawing a blank, seriously, what am I doing back then.

If in 10 seconds I haven't found a reasonable motive behind my action I will say "My GoALs arE BeyOnD YOuR UnDersTaNDinG," just for the meme.

I know right now you must be thinking how stupid I am, but let's recap few chapters back, and tell me why I did that?

Yeah, literally nothing other than because I've too motivated in the moment of passion.

This is bad, isn't it?

So far it sounds like they really trust Lugh's judgment, but how is he figures out what am I said is true? Is it his intuition, instinct? No, there's no way everyone would be convinced with just instinct alone, he must possess a skill or item more convincing than mere instinct.

- he's not telling any lies -

How he can be so sure about that, innate ability or magic items that I don't know about? Fuck this shit.

"To be honest I forgot about that up until now," my mouth moved on its own before I could think, maybe there's a better way to spell it and make it more convincing, but well, rice has become porridge.

"Hah?" I can literally taste the disbelieve in the air.

I don't care anymore, if he indeed can tell what is a lie what is a fact, the honest answers are the best option for me.

"But if you want I can make one, that is "I'm curious if the magic from my world capable of doing that or not," no more no less, ahahaha," I don't even know why am I laughing, maybe to ease up the situation.

"Is that bad? If there's a bad consequence of my action, I think I can turn the situation back," there is a moment of stillness, that's what I get after finish my answer.

"PPFFFTTTT… AHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA," a choked burst of laughter could be heard from my right side. Yeah, I already can picture this reaction from him.

"Is he serious?" the woman beside bear dude grimaced, shot me a complexion look.

91.

"Yes," Lugh's wipe the tears because too much laughing, before continue, "he's, it's not a lie when he said he forgot."

"Heh….hehh…..hahahaaaha….." a low chuckle rang out in the room, and the source of this is the gothic woman, with closed eyes she expresses her joy in all of this. Everyone in this room forgetting anything what they are doing, and focuses their eyes on one woman.

She remains ignorant to every eye that befalls upon her, shuddered gleefully, head down and fringe hiding her face in a black-purple, shadowed veil. A low laugh continues to come from her purple lips as she hugged herself.

"That… was… intriguing….. truly…. Intriguing…" she opens her eyes, shit, her eyes… it's beautiful, a pale, purple color like wisteria flower, but… it's assessing me, she was trying to figure out my worth, it was like the eyes of mad scientist I often see in horror movies. It takes a lot of me not to shudder under her gaze in fear.

"Another… world… another world...heh…. heh…. hhehahaaha…. honest… selfish… truly... honest dragon…. good…. interesting….. this…. Is … treasure…. trove…" her tones ripple in the light as they did on water, uncontrollably.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously, it sent a chill through my spine.

I gulped the gathered saliva in my throat. I can feel a tickle drop of sweat ran down my cheek.

Fuck me sideways that was creepy as hell, I hate myself for finding that a bit hot.

Congratulation lady, you officially just become the first member of my "Danger Lists".

I need to avoid this woman with my best.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who creep out by her sudden change of demeanor because some of the present individuals here are also failed to hide their disturbed face as the woman still give her low chuckle make the atmosphere in this room colder and darker.

*cough* * cough* the biggest man in this room trying to control the situation to the previous state.

"I can think few possibilities of bad course that might happen due to you giving humans magic—"

Honestly, he told me about a long-ass explanation of the worst scenario that might have a high possibility will happen to humans, it's so long that I forgot half of them… maybe even 2:3, but to put it simply there's might be someone with bad intention that will exploit the sudden increase of magic holder, such as the Four Satan, Evil Gods, or your average bad guys.

Oh, that's right, I just remember not every god has a good nature, some of them can be evil like Angra Mainyu, Apophis, or Loki. This is bad, I did it for the random passion of a moment just for the hell of it, but if someone will suffer due to my doing, it would not joke matter anymore, it's not even funny, to begin with.

Hmm?

Wait.

Wait a second.

Wait a minute.

Just wait.

…

Aren't all gods basically assholes, even the good ones.

90% of Greek god/goddess is a massive jerk.

Zeus and Poseidon are horny bastards that stick their dick in everything that moves.

Hera, Athena, even Artemis can be major bitch sometimes.

So far the cool fellow I know from books I read is only Prometheus, Hecate, and Hestia, they rarely do bad deeds in their lore. Prometheus, the first bro for humanity, Hestia, this woman give up his position as the twelve of Olympus for Dionysus to avoid conflict, such a cool and kind-hearted goddess.

I wonder what Hestia will look like in this world, I want to believe she's a woman with long white milk hair with a strong maternity aura around her despite being a chastity goddess, and she will often place her hand on her cheek while sighing as she says an alluring Ara-ara~~~ noises.

Goddammit! That was an indecent thought I have.

In Norse, Odin basically is the equivalent of Zeus.

Thor can be fucking asshole, especially to the Dwarf. At one time this dude kicked a dwarf to the burning boat for no reason, yeah for no reason. Maybe this dude forgets the ones who forged his weapons are the Dwarfs.

And don't let me start with Loki, God of Dickery, tricked both Jotunn and Aesir, fucked by a giant horse, and "accidentally" kill Baldur.

The biggest dick move, of course, have to be shared with everyone, on one chance Loki, Odin, and Thor accidentally killed a Dwarf Prince, the Dwarf tribe demands an apology with treasure, instead of being good on an innocent mistake and give a proper apology, he gives cursed treasure which driving the prince Fafnir to go so crazy that he kills his dad and his tribe, hoarded all the gold for himself, and turning into a fucking dragon.

That's how Fafnir became the evil dragon, by the way.

Lesson moral to myself never trust Loki.

I wonder how will he look like in this world, I hope he will not disappoint my expectation, since Loki always portrayed as a cool character in many media.

RA once turns Hathor, the goddess of love, joy, and motherhood, into Sekhmet, the war goddess. Sekhmet killed half of the populace because they made fun of RA. Whispering shits behind about god is dumbass, but kill half of your followers is crazy.

Seth murder Osiris out of jealously.

Indra can be an asshole too sometimes.

And there Yahweh, from the perspective of a non-believer like me, this dude already commit so much fucked up shits from my perspective, sending a bear to punish children for making fun of bald dude, yeah I know it's bad, but a little slap would be nice to teach these kids a lesson, not sending a fucking bear. Killing the firstborn baby of humans and animals in all Egypt, the animals didn't do shit about the Jews dammit, are they secretly torturing them or some shit, kill Onan for not impregnated his late brother's wife, and Wrestles with Jacob… the last one not that bad actually, wrestle can be fun sometimes.

Holy shit, how come gods become such selfish beings in every mythology.

But then he told me the Chief Gods from each faction would not allow horrible incidents to come to their people, and will not allow anyone to mess around with their followers, so I can be a little relieved about that. The chance is small but doesn't mean it bad thing won't happen.

Well even as assholes gods, they still good gods I guess.

I guess I'm half glad and half worried.

A note to myself, I better remember to give magic to the rest of humanity later.

"So it's not that bad, huh, I mean it could turn bad, but not likely."

"It's 50:50, though," Lugh commented.

"Yeah, 50:50," I repeat.

After a quick silence for whatever reason, we have in our mind, me and him as if on a cue we share a laugh together.

"AHAHAHAHHAHAHAhAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHA."

"AHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH."

It was dumb and without a doubt has no meaning, yet we still laughing at it as if it was actually a funny joke.

For the other presents individuals here it must be a disturbing sight to behold. After one or two minutes our laugh slowly to subdue down. The silence once again fell in the room and an awkward one at that.

"Ahem, then about the last question," he makes a dramatic pause, he has more presence than Lugh, it was bigger, louder, and more intimidating, but it's weaker, Lugh's probably still several degrees stronger than him.

"What do you need from us?"

Hmm, here comes the question.

"First is because I want to see the deity of this world, second because I want to know the exact difference of this world and my world, last is can give your blessing to this child," to be honest I don't him to give Merlin blessing, I myself can give him one with the [Gold] from my seven-colored flames.

[Gold Flame of Blessing], just like what the name suggests, this skill provided me with the ability to give buff support of blessing to my party members in-game. Out of all my flames I has in my arsenal disposal this one is especially special, there's several reason for that, one such benefit of this flame is the boots to all stats, the boots of stats of this flame is equivalent with level up of 30 level, the stats will rocket even higher if the one bestowed with this flame fighting in fiery place like volcano mountain… too bad, my friend in guild are already reached their limit level and stats so this function is kind of useless to support my party, and another one is anyone who imbued by this blessing flame will have an access to use my other six flames albeit a lot inferior compare to my original flames, third is anyone who get blessing from me will have total immunity to fire and high resistance to water, last is the effects of this flame have no time limit, as long I'm not die or decide to take away the skill, this skill will keep the buff active for the recipient as long as it takes, but as a recoil I only can produce this flame in very limited numbers.

But the problem is what the side effect of this flame in the real world and how do real people take it, in-game I created this flame with [Feng Huang's Feathers] as the base, I take the form of this item to make the flame from the gold flame will appear as a glowing orb with the fiery peacock feather enveloped in the orb, then I'd added [Agni' Flame] and [Fragment of the Sun] to enhance its effects.

In-game I just need to give the orb to the player that I want to give a buff to, then the player just needs to consume the flame… yeah, they eat it with their mouth. I set it like that because I thought it was cool, well I still think eating fire is pretty cool, but it's become a problem in my current situation, in the virtual fantasy world people eating fire is not that hard I mean it's still weird, but still easy since you will feel nothing, all you need to do is just open your mount, put the orb in your mouth and swallow, but in reality, it's not that easy, fire is still fire, it's hot, it's burning, and it's hard to swallow, who knows if the [Gold] will burn him from inside. That's why I will need Merlin to grow stronger before I can stuffing him with my blessing.

"WHAT?!" Merlin abruptly stands up, shock was written on his face, "why did you include me in this conversation now!?"

"Aren't you wants to become stronger? Based on your skill, become Wizard and Druid is the most suited class for you," and don't shout right at my ear.

"Well, that may be true," for some reasons he pouting his cheeks while making such a troubled face. I'm starting to doubt the reality now, is this person really not a girl? I mean her face… his face!

Driveaway the dirty thought from my mind. I bring my hand to his head, patting him would be become my new habit if things will continue like this. I'm not one to talk, but how is he able to maintain his hair to stay so smooth like this, what treatment did he secretly use behind my back.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright~ Just believe in me," I put the most reassuring smile my lips can do.

"Hummmm… all right," even with uncertain expression, fuck my orientation, this child is too cute for his own good, I purposely take my time to patting his head, before gave light taps two times and take my hand away.

"Just like I said, if you don't want to, that is okay with me. No need to consider of us," if I too pushy in this matter, it would be bad, I mean I think I can tank all of them at once if they decide to come at me, but I'm not in sync yet with this body. With the boost from World Enemy, I don't even know where my limit lies right now, honestly, I want to go as slow as possible with my current body.

"I don't mind actually, but pardon, let me ask one more question," am I imagining thing or the air around actually getting heavier.

"What is it?"

After the long pause for what felt like hundred nights, well, it was actually just ten or twenty seconds… but that's not the point.

"Why do you care for him?"

What? Déjà vu?

"Uhh, I don't quite understand your question?"

"Who is he to you?" what is his intent?

"Random kid I happen to encountered and the first human I met in this world," what a brilliant answer.

"What his name."

"Merlin Ambrosius."

"When he was born."

"I don't know."

"Where was he born."

"I don't know."

"How long have you known him?"

"Huh, around one week, right?" I sent a quick glance at merlin, he nods agreed with me.

"What is he?"

"Half human half incubus," this is getting ridiculous.

He must notice my irritation.

"Apologize. It just it's not every day I saw a dragon giving such compassion for a human."

"If you say so," well, I guess that must true.

"Will you take care of every human you first meet in this world or is it special for him?"

I lose my voice… no, I can't answer that question, fuck, his question's getting tricky.

"Are you seeing something in him?"

"I guess you can say that," is this what a work interview feels like?

"Do you planning to eat him, after he is big enough?" what in the fuck goddamn hell is that question, can he drop this topic already.

"Okay this is getting weird and weird, there's no way I can or will eat him," move from this topic, dang it.

"Why?"

"What do you mean "why," of course because he is…" a human? What is dragon devours in many myths? All creatures, humans included.

Why, yeah why, it's was a short and simple question and yet why It's heavy, my shoulder is so heavy, cold, hot, scared, it's even hurt just for breathing, confusion….…

Fuck, my mind drawing a blank.

This dude is speaking the language of god.

Is he discussing Quantum-level shit theory with me just now?

What is his question again?

Oh right, the reason why I care for Merlin, and some shit about compassion, I guess.

Can I just say to them I'm a former human, that's why there's no way I will commit cannibalism.

Fuck, I hate this topic, it makes my head hurts.

In reality, I know the answer to his question, it just I don't want to admit it.

Because I know Merlin will become a big famous figure in the future, that why I want to watch over him. It was a truly selfish reason.

Will I do the same thing if I had met someone else that time? Most likely no, I will probably take care of them for some time, ask for information, erase their memory and then go on my own way.

Yeah, most likely that what I will do, I know Merlin from the start, I know the beginning of his life, I know his role in Arthurian legend, and I know how his life will meet an ending.

Long even before I got stranded in this world, I know how his life will play out.

Honesty, that's so selfish of me. I want to stay beside him because I know his story.

But I guess there's a notable of difference between him and other people, if I had not met Merlin that time, I wouldn't know that this world is a fantasy world full of mythology beings. A normal human wouldn't be able to provide me with this information.

That's why I guess I can use this as an excuse.

Is there even need a reason for me to care for Merlin… yeah right, maybe now I am a dragon, I more prefer meat than vegetables, my ego getting bigger than ever, and I know I tend to do things on impulse recently. But all of that doesn't change the fact I'm still a human deep down in my heart, even if there's a chance where I will lose my humanity completely, I hope I still can become a good being when that time comes.

Solid and unbreakable silence put its curtain to this room. Everyone in here getting restless at my sudden silence, I can feel the tension in each individual risen up. The previous slow yet peaceful atmosphere has dripped away, not a fragment left, no one in here knows and dares to break it.

But there's one pair of eyes that give me comfort in this chaos of negative atmosphere.

Merlin, unlike everyone else in here, still gave me a warm casual gaze, seriously kid, can you read the mood and be more nervous.

But, well, this is what I need.

- well, then. Once again please take care of me -

That's right. I promised you, didn't I?

With every second passing the tension in here keeps getting higher and higher to the point it becomes uncomfortable even for me… well time to open my mouth.

"If I may be so bold," I put my hand at top of Merlin's head, and pull him close to mine, "I already decided to adopt this child, one way or another, I have inherited his mother's will, you can think of him as my son or little brother, whatever suited your plate," I'm only 22, dammit! I should say Merlin is my little brother, I'm still too young to become a father.

Then again, in YGDDRASIL's lore, Devourer of the Nine Worlds is said to be as old as the world itself so… I guess I'm old enough to become a father with this body.

I don't care if it's selfish.

Not all lives are equal.

I couldn't give a single damn care about random people who live in this era, the child beside me is special compare to any of them. That's all there is to it.

I patted his head and asked Merlin, "so how about it? Do you trust me?"

"I don't mind," nice expression you got there.

"Mmm… you should say "that's an honor for me" or something more dramatic."

"Do you want me to do that?" his pink eyes peek up to my face, it really was an adorable habit of him.

"Not really," I wink my eyes back at him.

"Then, from this moment your name will be "Merlin Ambrosius Dragonika", you are welcome, by the way, I know you are not a dragon, but don't sweat a small stuff, " in case you want to know, no that's not right, I'm begging, please tell me you want to know.

There actually a meaning behind my name, really, I'm not picked this name simply because I thought it sound cool… well Dragon is a dragon and it's cool, right? While for Nika is a name that originated from Slavic and the meaning is "Bringing Victory" and so basically this last name of mine literally has a meaning "Dragon who brings victory", sound cool, right? I'd add this name after I became the World Champion, by the way.

And I added "Auntry" as my middle name after I reached level 90 and became a true dragon. Before I become a dragon and World Champion my name is only Arah, and its meaning is "traveler" in Hebrew language, just to let you know.

What's that? Merlin is not a dragon so this name is unsuited for him? Screw that, it's not about the suit or not suit for him, it's about sending a message, this child belongs to me, and if you dare to touch him, no matter where you are hiding I will find you and kill you.

"You really do what you want without ever listening to someone's opinion, huh?"

"What? You don't want that?"

"No, that's nice. That has rather a pleasant ring to it," he easily accepts the addition to his name.

"Of course it is, that my last name after all," I took great pride in that.

"So there you have it, this child is mine, that's all," I turn all my focus back to them.

"Even though you just met him a few days ago? Less than a week if what you said is true," the interrogation in his tone is not there anymore,

"I didn't understand why people care so much about a little child, they are loud, obnoxious, and annoying…" this might be a personal grudge toward annoying child back in my real world, no matter where it is, be it in a mall, game center, or basically any place, a little child is always too loud for my ear… "until I got a little child myself."

"I'm not a little child."

"Silence, Brat."

"I've only had Merlin for a week and a half-day. But if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this world and then myself."

….

"Sorry, just a joke… actually no, I will kill anyone who dares bring harm to him and give them slow and painful death."

*Clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*

What?

I followed my gaze to the sudden of the SFX… I mean sound, and there I can see the most beautiful sight I have ever seen, Scathach clapping her hand with a gentle smile, and… oh my god, I mean, oh my me, she is beautiful… too beautiful even. With an only small warm smile, pale pink dusk embellish her cheeks, and the eyes that once dull has become more lively, like rippling water, her eyes have filled with attractive glimmer, there's no drastic change on her face, and yet she becomes hundred times more beautiful than before.

It's wondrous.

I try my best to stay in my place, keep myself in control because if not before I can control myself back, I will beeline to stand in front of her so I can worship how beautiful her face is right now. It was not an exaggeration to say that I wished to prostrate myself solely to this woman.

Let me repeat, seriously, I need to get used to how beautiful the women of this world can be, as soon as possible, if not… it's just a matter of time before lust takes over my body, and when that moment comes, I will… fuck, that was a terrifying prospect.

"-ey… HEY!" I felt a light slap on my right arm, look aside, I see Merlin try to wake me up from my daydreaming with lightly slapping my hand, no maybe he put all of his strength on his slap, but with my body, it's no different than a bite of a mosquito's bite… that was a horrible comparison.

Shit, that's not good, I lose in my thought, don't blame me, she is too enchanting for my human's side.

"Sorry just lose in something," I said as I rub the area between my eyes, hiding my face in the process. Fuck me, man, that was embarrassing.

"You mean in someone?" Merlin said in an infuriating tone.

"You mean in someone?" Lugh said in a more infuriating tone. I'm glad I can't see their face right now, they probably make the most annoying smug face I will ever see, the expression that I will punch just by seeing it.

"Shut up," and don't speak at the same time, I still hiding my face behindhand.

"Did he just said "Shut up"? Did he really said that?" the annoying tone gets apparent as he said that in disgustingly sweet rhyme for a middle-aged man.

"He did! He did!" are they secretly father and son? Wait… I'm his dad!

"I bet he's flustered right now," what with this man.

"He is! He is!" shut up your fucking mouth, brat. You're walking on such thin ice now, just one inch away from getting disowned.

"Did you bastards rehearsal this beforehand or something," I'm done with hiding my face, I don't care anymore about this shit, she is beautiful and I'm smitten by her smile, so what? Do you have a problem?

I'm still a normal human in some part of me, you know, and for a normal human, this woman is like a divine figure that must be worshiped.

"Anyway, that's my answer," yeah, let's pretend everything is normal like I'm not just creepily staring at a woman's face for a long time.

"Don't change the topic," I just whack Merlin in the head, and it's not even a topic, to begin with.

"Ouch."

"I understand," no you don't, and wipe that smirk from your lips.

"I don't mind give him my blessing… so, what now?"

"Actually, can I stay here for few days, of course, I will pay, and I'm sure you are still interested or curious about my world, if you let me stay in here I would gladly tell you… and to tell the truth, the feeling is mutual, I'm also quite curious about the magic of this world, especially the r- bright unique letter that he used to lock the door before," ahh! Almost slipped, that was close, it will be weird as fuck if I know the name and yet can't use it.

As Nanami Taito from planet Earth of course I'm already aware and familiar with Rune Magic, there's a lot of media and literature that use this type of magic in their stories, like Harry Potter, Lord of the Ring, and many other series with the magic genre.

Those are good titles despite their old age, my grandpa recommended me to read these books when he knows I like the fantasy genre, at first I disinclined to read them since its old age, relics from the past… but after I had finished these series, it's actually not that bad… screw that, it's great, especially Lord of the Ring.

I like it so much that I asked my friends in the guild to tame a dragon and named him with the same name that a dragon in Lord of the Ring has.

But this time unexpectedly and ironically inverted from the previous problems I had that easily solved by Arah's power, and this almost omnipotent Arah is the problem right now, let me simplified it... ahem, Runecraft did not exist in YGGDRASIL, so at the moment as Arah from YGGDRASIL, I have to pretend clueless about Rune magic, like a kid that has no idea to operate Playstation, I have to act like an excited innocent kid, right now, which I think it's one of my biggest talents.

Yeah, I always think how strange it is for a game that has more than 7000 spells, and 300 Racial and Job class, and yet we don't have Rune magic in the game.

There's once a poll in-game, they, I mean the DEV had asked us to write what we would like to add in the game, like a survey or something, and so me with Momonga, and one other Guild Master, we chat and discuss what we like to add, because we think if three of the top ten guilds agree on one thing the DEV will grant our wish and we agree to write the same thing, and that is the Rune Magic, yeah we want another type of magic in the game other than Tier Magic.

And that fucking DEV still have the gut to ignore our suggestion, what a fucking retard, what a fucking traitor, three of the top ten guilds wrote the same thing and they still have guts to pretend they don't see it, if they are not going to hear out our opinion then don't made us feel hopeful, fucker.

I knew it, the Developers are just a bunch of incompetent sadistic assholes.

Those fucking useless DEV, they have one job, and yet somehow they still managed to fucked up and disappoint a lot of players, fucking useless piece of shit.

And so, after I got transported to this world my wish finally will be granted, I can learn how to use Rune Magic. Boi.

Eat shit, DEV.

"Unique letter… you mean Rune?" the purple reddish-haired woman asked me incredulously.

"It's called Rune?" yeah, keep that innocent act Arah.

"Yes, it is," she ends that with a warm small smile, seriously, man. She is too cute.

"Hmm, then that's what I mean," keep acting, stay normal.

"You don't have Runecraft in your world?" Scathach once again spoke for the rest of everyone in this room excluding me and Merlin.

"Nope."

"Hmmmm… I… guess… there… more… difference… for… two… worlds…" what with the women's voice of this world? They are too beautiful. It's like listening to famous Seiyuu talking in anime.

"So that would be it."

"I understand, then if you may, bring that kid he—"

"Wait," the calm yet somehow filled with unshakeable strength echoing from all corners of the room.

Everyone in here almost simultaneously turns our head directly to the red-haired man.

However, the man just keeps his mouth closed as we waited for what he wants to say next.

Maybe he wanted to create some dramatic moment… but, seriously, speak already.

Until eventually the moment everyone waiting is over.

"Before you continue, there's one thing that I need to say," again, he paused one more time, as if he waiting for my approval.

"What it is," I have a really bad feeling about this, and his rare sense of consideration just made my feeling worse.

"Fight me," I knew it. With straight face calmness of night sea, he spoke the words I most conflicted with.

"Lugh….."

"Hah?" I could literally taste the annoyance in the air as the other present individuals here let out a groan with some of them like Morrigan and the woman with blue hair shake their heads, as if they are already anticipating this request.

"Let me ask this first, why?" to tell the truth, I don't mind at all to fight him, gladly even, but the problem is with me, from our clashing earlier I knew how strong he is, in term of raw power he probably is even stronger than average level 100 players, even strong enough to rival the top tier players like me, the previous me that is.

Can you blame me, I became the World Enemy started just from two months ago… two months one week ago. After Diabolos, ErooroShota, and Svafnir's last log-in I became a loner playing the game alone. For the first few days from their last log-in I still happy to play the game and hoped for them to join me, but days become a week, and a week became months, with no one came back to log in anymore.

At first, it's all okay for me, real-life can be shitty after all, we don't know when life will get rough, so I understand why they suddenly quit the game. For a while I still play the game normally, log in to the game, claimed the daily log-in, clear daily quest, and finish some solo mission, but after sort while I also lose the passion to continue playing the game, playing the game alone is not fun… I just realize it when they are gone, what makes the game fun is the friend you play with not the game alone.

Then when they finally back to log in again, it was only for dropping their items, telling me to take care of them or they told me I can sell them if I want… are you fucking kidding me, I know more than anyone how hard you guys struggle and how much effort you all put to forged the weapon, armor, and other items, that you imagine, and you told me I can sell it if I want, there's no way I can do it.

What with this mood swing.

It always hurt every time I remember them, but I don't ever want to forget this memory.

Fuck, what is this? A labile school girl's confession diary?

From day to day I just log into the game just to claim the log-in bonus and then log out this happening for quite some time until I got a lot of commissions and hard to find the time to log into the game and so when I find the opportunity to enter the game again, I decide to become the World Enemy with the help one of my World Item and a friend from another guild, that time I thought I will never enter the game again, if I want to quit the game why not do it with a BANG, is what I had in my mind that time.

But never I had thought it would be the Devourer of the Nine Worlds, I was expecting it will be one of the lower tiers of World Enemy, not the top of the tops monster.

Following the flow, I transforming to World Enemy with the impeding Banned from the DEV in my mind, one week passed, and yet the ban never came, even after I bluntly and impudently cheat the game.

After a killed a larger mass of players that tried to hunt me I'm sure they actually reporting me to the DEV and hoping for me to be banned from the game, and I'm thought the same as well… and after few weeks I finally knew the answer why they did not take an action on my cheating, it's because the DEV planning to close the game forever… no wonder they ignore my red card penalty.

That's why I actually never have a serious battle with my new stats, what I had is the one-sided massacre that I performed to the 100 players and some group of mercenaries that tried to kill me when they know I became one of the world enemy. If it my previous stats even with my full power I don't need to afraid if I accidentally kill him since he is strong enough to defeat average level 100 players with ease, but with my new stats, it might sound arrogant but I afraid I will lose control and kill him… wait, if killed him, I can just resurrection him, didn't I?

Well, it's not a problem after all.

"Do we need a reason to fight?"

Of course, we need.

However.

"I concur," smiling. In manga sometimes they just need to see eye an eye to fighting, no need for meaning full reason, or whatever.

"Let's fight," it's a golden opportunity. Unlike those goblins I massacred a few days ago, with this formidable person as my sparring partner, I can move my body properly, and to be honest, I've been greatly curious about how strong this body is, what kind of feat I can do with this power.

"We have a combat training room."

He stands up from the chair.

"Let's do this in there."

"Ok."

.

.

.

After a short walk to another room, and Morrigan removed the thread that binding my arms, I think I can rip the thread easy with my psychical power alone, but that would be rude to the one who made it.

With me and him standing at each end of this massive room and the other as spectators, this is getting good. I feel a tingly up my spine, this growing tension… I love it. The moment where we preparing ourselves before the battle and both of us waiting the moment where we reveal our weapons… I really dig it.

The thought of why I feel no fear or nervousness in this mighty opponent flashed in the back of my mind. Compare to the small fry I fought in the village before, the chance I get hurts is so much bigger this time, and yet I feel no fear, but I decided to ignore it… I don't care anymore about those trivial things, I don't care anymore, the first time I fought with this body I still believed I was a human, but right now, the ego of the dragon has been taking my soul lately… it rather convenient, it would be a problem if I feel fear every time I fight someone.

"Alright, so it will be a classic duel, we are going to fight until one of us forfeits or receives an injury that could be fatal. Don't worry, we have a group of magicians who know their stuff on heiling wounds, on stand by," he said enthusiastically as he points at the group of goddesses.

"No, they won't be needed," since I have my own magic and skill to heal the damage I might receive.

he, along with the spectators frozen at my comment.

why?

"That bold, you are saying you would not get any damage from this duel."

what?! that was not what I meant.

"I like that spirit."

No! don't look at me with such passion!

you know what? who cares anymore about this, let just get it over with.

"So, shall we begin?" he said after finish cracking his neck.

"Ready when you are," I reply with a smile.

"Then… come, {Assal}."

With a simple command, he summoned the weapon that was used to control the sky appears with a flash of lightning in his palm. Spear of a cross between a trident, a bishamon-yari, and a Chinese halberd with a crystalline appearance. Similarly, the two side blades are straight with concave edges as opposed to the usual crescent blades of traditional Japanese spear, the end tip of the spear turns into a drill-like shape for a reason that I will learn not too long after this.

Looking at it again, that weapon really looks strong and sturdy and still not abandoning the elegance aspect, the spear bears a teal tip and rings upon its handle. The spear that the God of Storm summoned was greatly different from the average spear, the massive length of iron utilized its sharp tip and immense weight to bring about destruction, one of simple sturdy workmanship, well designed for close and mid-combat. Able to destroy all defenses and pierce the armor and helmet alike in one thrust. From the way he held it lightly in one hand despite its long length, means of using for its original purpose, it could be thrown as well.

The spear is so enormous that it does not seem possible for a human to wield, and of such exquisite appearance that it is practically a work of art. It can only be described as a weapon granted solely for the Gods.

Staring at him like this, I remember how actually amazing this man is, his flaring vibrant red hair, his hair is long, unkempt. His gaze is sharp like a steel blade, and the enchanting spear he holds firmly in his hand similarly projects an enthralling grace. Even without wearing any armor he still flaring the aura that screams to anyone that no weapon shall harm his body. While every single part is beautiful in its own right, once combined with the man, they exuded far more ferocity than they did attractiveness. Truly, what a curious man.

Since we chose not to wear any protection, so I will follow suit, besides it's just sparing, why so serious.

"Spear, huh?" in most normal situations, it doesn't matter what opponent use, I will draw out my beloved sword {ERRA}, the sword that will seal all of my fire into one sword, and once I swing it, the battle will the end then and there.

Everything it cuts will be burned by an explosive fire, {ERRA} is truly the sword of hellfire.

Only when I'm with {ERRA} I can utilize all of my skill potentials and fight to the fullest of my abilities.

However, right now, I want to try something different than the fighting style I usually use. There's one weapon that I'd always been so curious to hold from the moment I have seen it from the first time, the most beautiful weapon in all World Searcher's possessions, that everyone agreed about.

Svafnir, sorry, but let me borrow your weapon just for a bit.

I bring my right hand up and position it as if I hold the hilt of a sword in upside down and begin to move my fingers like I actually twirling something in my hand.

"Rage through the heaven and split the earth, {Gungnir}."

With a blinding glow, a long golden spear more than two meters- almost reaching three meters in length appears in the palm of my hand, with a ribbon-like design intertwining with each other at the end of the handle reminiscent of that of a root of a tree and also in below the blade intertwining from below to above, the tip of the lance was a wide blade with as if the tip double-edged sword had been forcefully attached as the blade, its broad sword also has a complicated beautiful magical words carved on the blade.

This spear is not only by the exterior the God of Storm's spear. His massive length of iron utilized its sharp tip and immense weight to bring total destruction to anything that will come in contact with the weapon. However, Svafnir's weapon by the appearance likely is focused more on magical abilities rather than destructive power. If his weapon given an impression of strong, sturdy, and majestic, while for this weapon was light, celestial, and dare I say almost appear fragile, probably calling it a magic staff would be more suitable to this weapon.

The weapon that brought Svafnir to the final of Asgard World Champion Tournament, but still ended up failed to bring him the title.

Actually, you don't need any reciting to summon this weapon, but adding that command before summoning this weapon would make the entrance 100 times cooler.

The shock expression that Lugh and the spectator have right now is so predictable by me from the moment I'd decided to bring this weapon out, and how can they be not surprised if someone they just met, out of nowhere summon the weapon of mighty Allfather in his hand.

"Gungnir… you mean that Gungnir? Odin's weapon?"

"Yes, this is the Gungnir of my world," or the stronger version of that, since Svafnir created this weapon with the {Original Gungnir} as the base and main material, one of the rarest Divine Item back in the game, if my memory serves me right, there's only ten {Original Gungnir} in all realms, not as rare as World Item where there are only one for each item, but my point still stands.

In a single moment, a full wide smile appears on his face, showing his teeth, the shock on his vanish with no trace left replaced by a pugnacious smile.

"Well, isn't that something," he said mischievously. Calm and assured, declared that he had no issue with facing both this weapon. His words spoke volumes for his enormous self-confidence. He speaks not out of haughtiness or arrogance, because to him, it is a simple truth that he cannot be defeated.

"Don't give me any compliments yet. After all, I have yet to shows you something that's worthy of a praise," I don't know what kind of face I make right now, but it's not something that I need to wonder about.

[Aura of Domination III], [Radiant Entry], [Blessing of Infernal], [Flaming Heart], and [Scarlet Passion].

Instinctively I active the four skills in my skill set. These skills will deal nothing to an opponent on his level though. While the names are different they have one effect that almost similar to each other.

I want to use [Aura of Domination X]. But by doing that, without a doubt it will affect Merlin more worse than before.

[Radiant Entry] will triple my charisma and presence for 4 seconds, planting fear (stun) to the enemies or make them run away. This is only effective against the enemy around level 80 or below, kind of useless for facing a top-tier opponent like him. Its effect is the best when I combined this skill with [Aura of Domination].

[Blessing of Infernal] will slowly increase the temperature in the vicinity, this skill will continue active as long as I live and keeps rising up the temperature, to the point it can boil the blood around me and kill my opponent from the inside. However it will take a long time until its effect reaches that point, the number of fights I had and win before the area around me reach the boiling point is only second to none. Doesn't mean this skill is completely useless though, because by fighting in warm to hot place will only give me more power, and give me the time I can destroy a small country by doing literally nothing, I'd was once melted half of the ice in Niflheim in just one hour until the other told me to stop.

[Flaming Heart]… it actually useless for my current state, other than making an explosion of aura, this skill is more effective when I act as a leader, not when I'm alone like this. Flaming Heart: party gains 33% attack speed. Party with at least 20 members will gain 15% total DMG multiplier to combo, charge, and magic attacks, and will be doubled for every another 20 member addition. This effect can be stack for 3 times.

[Scarlet Passion], a scarlet aura like energy will envelop my body, I can control this aura as if it was my hand or leg like for grabbing or restrain something, and the defense that this aura provides is quite remarkable, it can defend me from any kind of attack that equal with six tier magic or below.

Elated by the changing air around me because of the skills, make him smile even wider.

Three—so the countdown began.

"Whether it is worthy of praise is something you will learn after you receive a taste of this weapon!" I'd end that line with voice louder more than I'd intended.

He readied his spear—and his thirst for blood crushed the air. I stood my ground bravely, this pressure, any normal humans would have their spirits utterly crumble before him.

Two—and the air froze.

I take my stance, exactly as before where I do something that I had never do in my life such as fight a group of monster, rode a horse, or teach someone, my body moving on its own as if I was a master in the art of the spearmanship, this feels as natural as though I was born with these talents.

The Boots from World Enemy is really something that I need to say my gratefulness every day.

One—and time itself seemed to stop before the eruption.

[Molten Cleaver], [Blazing Dance], [Crimson Sunset], [Unbroken Fire], [Sharped Intuition], [Foresight], [Delayed Vision], [Batlle Intuition], [Mental Strengh Up], [Protection From Arrow], [Blazing Stellar], [Guren Flash], [Hex of Unyielding], [Sacred Charge], [Astral Spirit], [Aesirs' Bane], [Gentle Flare], [Artful Blade], [Dance of War God], [Kaus Australis], [Predator Instinct], [Dragon Six Sense], [Ruler of the Flame], [Auto Counter of First Attack], [Auto Counter of second Attack], and [Auto Counter of Third Attack].

With my current weapon, I don't think I can utilize all of my skills properly, but even with that, I still will use them. Nothing would shake my nerve.

His desire for combat flared like a red inferno. Some sort of silent pressure began to seethe in the spear in my hand. A burning smell filled the air like it was being scorched in the sun. It is hard to say whether it comes from the two's weapons or the intense fighting spirit of the two of us clashing against one another.

Whatever the case, Lancer can see the one clear truth in this

Zero

"Let's go," he shows me an honest provocation smile, which I naturally return.

Come, let us engage.

"En Garde." Come and get some!

"IBAR!" with that roar his spear emits an unfathomable amount of lighting… no! The spear did not emit any lighting, rather it simply the spear become the lightning itself. In a form of ineffable javelin… no, something like that, it looks more like a large arrow rather than a spear, the arrow of savage which eradiates the unkempt lighting pervades through all the arena.

My eyes widened as his large energy immediately surged, I have a feeling that attack will not mean for exchange blows but to definitively release one fine with 100% accuracy. It is an act to finish the fight in one move.

The ground is broken just from the pressure of his weapon and the crumbling ground start floating to the air from how the dense aura around him. Cool, this fantasy scene is something that I can only watch in anime before, I happy I can experience it in flesh.

But, there's one thing that bothers me.

Lift my left hand up I preparing some spell.

"[Triple Maximize Magic: Absolute Domain]"

Different kinds of shock expressions emerged on his face as if he just realized something important.

From the ground where Merlin is standing emerged the thousand of flickering tiny glowing orbs, no matter how you look at those lights you will be reminded of the group of fireflies in dusky land, it's flying there and here as if these light is sentient before move fusing into one and forming three layers of ethereal barrier in dome shape with proud protecting Merlin from anything that will harm him.

This was the strongest barrier magic I have other than the one in Super tier magic.

"Don't put your feet out from those barriers. Just close your eyes if you are afraid, you will be alright," coating it with a little tease. I just don't want to get hurt, no matter what.

"You don't need to tell me and I'm not even afraid," with a sullen look he pouting his cheeks.

I just show my full teeth smile at his response.

Facing away from him back to my opponent.

"Apologize for the delay, but with how strong that move just now, I don't think he will be staying in one piece the moment we end this," I don't know why, but somehow I feel really bad about this.

"No. I should be the one who apologizes. Even though I already made a promise to you to keep him safe, I almost broke the promise with my own hand," from his tone, mimic of his face, and how he brings himself right now, I can feel and tell he sincerely felt bad about it.

"Let me express, I'm sorry and thank you for preventing me from break my promise," he actually bowing his head right now.

Stop it, don't make it harder for me.

"Like I said, it's okay."

"Let's continue from where we left it," I take the stance once again.

He lifts his head up, for a quick split moment I can see the guilty uncertain expression lingering on his face.

"Yes, exactly like you said. I've been waiting for this moment for so long, after all, I can't afford for anyone to disturb it even with a fatal mistake just now," the air feels thinner as he said that.

"This duel is ours."

What is he talking about?

"Fshhhhh," Letting out a thin hiss.

"IBAR!"

Without warning nor preparation, he throws his large arrow-like spear at me.

0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000-

What?

Fast.

Fast.

Too fast!

Before I can fully grasp the reality, the tip of the spear already travels with breakneck speed splitting the air and appear right in front of my eyes.

What happened? What in the world did he just do, why the spear suddenly appears before my eyes.

What with this crazily outrageous speed!

It will pierce my eyes!

It will pierce my eyes!

It will pierce my eyes!

However, that terrible prospect had never come to reality.

The air exploded, and that lance of lighting is no longer in front of my vision.

With the sound of two irons clashing, my body moved on its own to block the attack.

"Athibar," hearing his voice my focus back to the man again before I can consume fully what is just happened.

The spear travel back returned to his hand in one flash.

"Now, that's what I call impressive," contras with from what I expected, he shows me genuine pleasant happiness instead of frown of frustrated after he saw me blocking his attack.

"Well, thank you," I understand now, it appears thanks to [Auto Counter of First Attack], I've been somehow managed to avoid one crisis. That means I still have two chances to get accustomed to that speed.

No. dodge that move is never an option.

With none of us saying anything we accept that silence as a signal to continue this fight.

With a single blast, his body was enveloped in a layer of lightning magic energy.

He did not roar. he did not scream or yell. Instead, his spirits turned white-hot and scorched the ground around him.

What a heavy pressure, my weapon trembling in anticipation… no my whole body is trembling, it's as if my senses have been sharped with this pressure.

Nice!

Leaping from where he stood, moving with a speed that could not be followed by humans, he advanced and what trailing behind him is a tail of white lighting.

This reminds me of a certain hero from DC movies.

His spear roared, cleaving the air apart, right into my eyes with the mean to destroy my skull.

Just from this second strike I know he has a habit of aiming for his opponent in most vital point with a single thrust and ended the fight there. What a bad habit.

Were my eyes just accustomed to his attack from the previous attack? It looked slower to me. Almost in slow motion display, I swift my head a few degrees to avoid being impaled, but one of the blades still managed to graze my cheek, looking from the side like this I can see the sound barrier broken effect… another prove of how fast his attack is.

I deliver a strong kick to the left part of his abdomen … or so I thought, before my kick can make a contact with his body he pulls back the spear to block my counter.

So fast, his speed is abnormal.

"A fine counter," he commented with a pleasant smile after taking some distance with jumping backward. He rested the spear from the shoulder.

"Sorry, but I prefer a hug from a woman," I tried to joke around. Bringing my hand to my cheek, I feel no trace of blood on my skin, does my skin already healed from my regeneration or it is because of {Gungnir} effect? Or it is because his attack had never pierced my skin from the beginning?

There are several main materials other than the base for this weapon, one of them is {YGGDRASIL's Seed}, the rarest seed in the game, I don't to explain any further why this item is so rare, right? I'm sure just from the name you already aware of how precious this item is.

The item gives two abilities to this weapon, one of the two is the regeneration of the HP and MP of the wieldier will be sextuple quickened faster as long the wielder make a contact with the ground be it directly or non-directly like standing in a tree or building. Such an overpowered and cheat-like functions.

In terms of versatility, I think this weapon is more useful than my [ERRA]. At the end of the day, my sword is nothing, but a weapon solely for destruction power. I neglected any ability for speed or defensive in exchange for tremendous capacity of annihilation.

"What a coincidence, I agree, especially from the one with large breasts. Then next I will…" ready for another strike, he prepares himself to attack.

[Guren Flash].

In comet-like movement, I blitzing him.

It's only needed far less than a nanosecond for me to arrive before him and send a powerful blow to him. I only intended to put a little strength and yet I can see the cranking ground under my foot and behind me due to the shockwave. With movements capable of unbelievable quickness and readiness, he managed to just barely to block it and so the impact sent him flying and broke the walls.

"I think you will find this moment as my turn. And be remember this, I'd always prefer thigh over breast," yeah, thigh and ass is better than breast.

From the corner of my ears, I can hear a few gasps.

"Lugh….. lost…. the…. Initiative….. this… is….." her tone filled with uncertain doubt, so she can actually get surprised?

"Never happened before," Scathach's voice.

I'm not looking back, but I think Morrigan is pouting right now because someone cut her words.

"You talk too slow."

Hearing the sound of clicking steel I place all my focus back on the rumble, and from that debris, a spear emerged and flying almost hit the roof, as I stare at the flying weapon I failed to notice he had purposely let go of his weapon to distract me.

His movements changed. He stopped using techniques and trying to overwhelm his opponent, me, with his overwhelming speed, and instead started changing his attacks with tricky moves.

The exchange of blows between spearman and martial art begins, for about 3 seconds, but it felt tens of times longer. He has delivered more than hundreds of attacks at me, from punch back to kick and kick back to punch, each of his attacks each had been honed in battle war.

I responded in the same manner and trying to block all of his attacks.

Just when the spear seemed to start fall he jumped and kicked the spear with his heel and sent it flying with lighting enchantment.

That was truly an elegant way to attack your opponent.

"IBAR!"

[Auto Counter of Third Attack] had been used in our exchange of blows earlier, so I can rely on it anymore to survive this.

Lift my left hand, ethereal light energy in the shape of a butterfly emerged from my hand.

"[Super Tier Magic, Rainbow Aegis (Seven Layers of Miracle After Gloomy Day)]" as I finish saying that, seven circles of beautiful light barrier with different colors formed from the palm of my hand, each layer has the defensive power stronger than a fortress wall.

This is the greatest defensive magic I own in my arsenal of Super Tier Magic. This barrier will interfere with cause and effect so that it will always block every attack, even from other causality reversal attack, which I'm sure his spear also hold the same effect.

If my memories serve me correctly, I remember that his spear will always hit its target the moment he throws it.

The only reason why I decided to take his attack is simply because I want to know how actually strong this strike is, if this attack can destroy at least until the fifth layer then… this attack must be as equal with one Super Tier Magic in term of power.

The weakness for the exchange of tremendous power of Super Tier Magic is that there's a limitation on how much you can use it in a certain period of time, the second weakness is that you need a long time of preparation to use one spell, it can take from 5 to 10 seconds before a Super Tier Magic take effect, and such a long time like that is a golden opportunity for the enemy, I'm sure they won't miss it, but that obstacle doesn't apply for this spell, I can summon this barrier without preparation in a single instant

With such selfish reason like that I had abandoned the other course to deal with this strike, I can simply fire an attack equal with equal power to shot down this attack mid-flight, I can try to dodge or run from this attack which with my current body is entirely possible, or simply I can try change the trajectory of the spear with [Dimensional Gap]… and yet I decide to receive it just to satisfy my curiosity.

At this moment time had frozen for me.

Before the impactful clashes, one thought falls to my brain.

Can I just use Svafnir's shield for this?

Darn, I forgot about that, I also hold his other belonging in my Inventory.

And it comes, the unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

The force of the blow alone is already unbelievable, thunder and wind roaring in all directions, from the corner of my eye I see an invisible purple wall standing tall, that not there before.

The spear of thunder and a rainbow barrier compete on who will fall first.

One layer broke.

Nice.

The second layer broke.

Cool.

Three-layer.

Amazing!

Fourth layer.

I should be scared and yet why am I so excited like this?

Fifth layer.

I noticed something, his attack indeed strong and unreal fast, but for each barrier it broke, its speed had drastically slowed down.

The sixth layer.

I can clearly see it.

The last layer.

It stopped, it was not dramatic nor anything else, rather it's just like what I expected.

"Athibar." Called back with a calm voice, he grabbed it once more in the air.

As our eyes met, both of us gave fearless smiles. Maybe I'm imagining things, but I feel like he is satisfied by the outcome, as if he silently praising me.

"He stopped that attack."

"I can't believe what my eyes saw."

"The….. magic…. from…. another… world… aren't… that… amazing…..fu…. fu…."

"Just like what Morrigan said, that was amazing, this is the first time someone stopped that attack… not even my grandfather can do that," the mere thought fills me with admiration. And it seems that the spearman before me holds the same opinion.

Lugh's grandfather?

"Balor."

"You know him?" He seems shocked by this, before remembering something.

"Oh right, the other from your world, right."

I just nod in answer.

"He can stop time when he opens his eye, and yet he only managed to dodge my attack twice before I beheaded him, after all, my spear surpassed time," Archer smiled, and Rider smiled in return.

Since when did Balor able to stop time? What the fuck, am I read the different legend back when I read Balor's lore? I'm pretty sure his eye is described as the eye that brings destruction, so I always imagining he can shot laser or beam from his eye, not stopping time, in-game Balor also not capable of doing that.

I guess this world has different lore than the one from my world and YGGDRASIL.

"That's amazing."

"Why thank you, that something coming from you."

Something strum my curiosity again.

"What did you do after that?"

"What is?"

"The corpse, what did you do with Balor's corpse."

In-game after defeating someone like Balor there's no doubt you will get valuable Divine Item, but since this is the real world there's no way an item will pop up from a corpse, but it's a corpse of a powerful figure, I'm sure there's another way to exploit it rather than just burn or destroy it.

"Oh… we still keep it, after all, it is a corpse of a powerful figure, you can use it for a lot of thing like creating a weapon of some sort, besides we don't want a random evil god to revive him if we just let the body unsupervised… come to think of it Yahweh from Biblical faction has been annoying us for quite some time asking for Balor's head, I'm sure he wants to make another Sacred Gear thing with his body as the base," he scratches his hair with an annoyed face, trying to remember something.

Sacred Gear, another anomaly for me, Merlin had explained to me before, basically, it's just a magic item for humans, but I don't know it was made by Yahweh with the other being as the base.

"Enough of that, let's resume this," our gazes met, planning our next moves while watching each other's every action.

I smiled, and he smiled in return. There was definitely a bond between us. Even if they trampled on those feelings, vast 'joy' over facing each other that surpassed their other feelings existed in their hearts.

"Pride rests in the blade of chivalry. I… I am glad that I was given the opportunity to meet you," he ends that with a pleasant and serene smile, not a single bit of bloodlust nor any negative emotion painted on his fine face.

What is this, this is not the first time someone praising me, but somehow praise coming from such an admirable and respectable man like this, fills me with a surging pride I can barely contain.

"I am the first spear of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Lugh, here I come!" He skillfully twirling and dancing his spear.

"Splendid! I, Arah Auntry Dragonika, (Leader) King of Babylon, accept your challenge," maybe the king of World Searcher is more fitting and proper in this introduction, but that is not really fit as a name of the kingdom, besides technically I'm not lying or anything, Babylon is our guild base.

A shocking face emerged to his face for a second, soon though he decides to shake that thought away and focus on our battle.

"Come, then!"

I readied my weapon.

With a soundless signal, we advance at the same time.

And deafening echoed out as the two different-sized spears clashed against each other.

.

.

.

- Merlin -

What am I even watching?

Spear clashes with another spear.

Five minutes passed since the battle began, and both fighters are still evenly matched, or so I thought.

They clashed. Sparks flew through the air like lost souls as two enormous forces resisted one another.

It does not even need to be said that Arah… uh- fa… father, honestly why is he said that, rather than father he is more like a big brother to me, his spear holds the advantage in terms of range. The head of the weapon alone is easily over one meter in its fearsome length. However, having a wider range naturally slows the speed of attack. A small amount of time is lost with every thrust as the spear must be pulled back.

Being nothing more than a normal half-human, it is likely that I cannot begin to comprehend what is happening before me.

Yet their exchange barrage of spear thrusts is never-ending and moving at the speed that is too fast to follow, their afterimages have formed a dome. Just how many afterimages did they create just from moving like that?

One hundred?

No, it's definitely more than that.

My brain still can't accept what my eyes saw, and I not even blaming it.

In contrast to the first round where they changing turn in every attack, this time they did not wait for the opponent nor give any sign to open their mouths, simply keeps thrusting their spears and dodge of another's blows.

And every time their spears collided a strong gush of wind spreading through the arena, if it not because of the barrier, I'm sure I've been blown away from the shockwave.

For a moment he decided to take a distance from Lugh, a change occurs in the arena.

With a single swing move from his spear, Arah summoned a wave of tress emerged from the underground, like a group of snake the trees moving fast obeying his order, swirling with each other, then united into one forming spear-like shape and attacking the opponent.

Yep, it more comfortable to call him by his name… sorry but it might take more time for me to customized to call him for the other title.

With his godly speed, the God of Storm easily evade one by one with sharp moves, this happened for quite a long time until one of the trees managed to grabbed one his leg, one root simple root is enough to bring fatal mistake because it only takes less than blinking eyes when the other trees swarming around him.

One comes after another until his whole body is swallowed by the tress and formed a giant ball of a forest.

An uncomfortable silence has changed the atmosphere in this room, the previous intense battle becomes a game of waiting… until the sound of cranking fire is heard from within the ball of the forest, all the spectator waiting as the ball beginning to crumble until finally one crack was formed, and that from single crack a blinding light emerged.

I and the other spectator turn our heads away from the blinding light that keeps getting brighter, not enough that, with a hand covering our eyes, it's so bright that I'm afraid if I looked at it directly I would instantly lose my eyesight, and yet I'm unable to oppress my curios self to keep at least a corner of my eyes to stare at this rare and wonderful sight.

This may be only last for five or some seconds and yet the sensation that I feel right now, I will make sure always to remember it by my soul and brain for the rest of my life.

From the other side, I see Arah casually looking at the source of this blinding light without blinking nor hide his eyes, rather… he smiling, with a happy face, as if he has been expecting this.

And at that moment the crumbling sound is no longer around, force myself to look at the spectacular blinding light, what I see is something that I've never been thinking it possible to see from a close distance before.

A miniature of effulgent sun.

It was not as big as the actual sun, not like I know how big the sun is, but I know it must be so big, and yet what in front of me right now is without a doubt an actual sun.

It was round, dazzling, and awfully hot… just how many times I have been killed if it's not for this barrier. It's crazy that something like this is actually happening right in front of my eyes.

With an audible effect, the sun changed its shape to a more humanoid form until the light has been subdued and change back to the previous form.

"That was unfair. You didn't tell me you can control the plant," in an almost whining manner as he swinging his right arm.

"I can't manipulate plant, that was this weapon's ability, one of the powers of this weapon is earth and plant manipulation, ah right, this weapon can also control the weather and lighting."

He drops that information as if he told us that water is wet and fire is hot.

And in that split moment I can clearly see that Arah's face has become complexly calm with a serene smile plastering on his divine face, a contrast from the beginning where I can still spot a tiny part of anxiety on his face, right now he already sinks far too deep in heat of battle, and he enjoys every second of it.

"Well, I already expecting the weather and lighting manipulation, since this world's Gungnir can do that too, but not the first part," now he cracking his neck.

"Well, what can I say to that."

In silence, they nod at one another.

Betraying everyone's expectation, before anyone knows what they thinking, Lugh had taken a step back and continues flying away from the broken wall that Arah caused before.

"Let's rock!" Arah roaring as a pair of white dragon wings appears from his back, and following his opponent.

An explosion.

The air exploded above far in the sky, but both of them were no longer there. At a speed that cannot be followed by mortal eyes, the two kings fought in the air over my head, repeatedly coming into contact and then separating.

The battle was resumed in the air as if they are saying that this place was too small for them.

Moving at a speed other could not follow, the two being exchanged countless thrusts using the sky as their grand stage. Strike after strike, all of them were powerful attacks with the meaning to kill, there was neither a feint nor a dirty trick. All of them were great power that could kill in one strike.

However, using suck power as easy as breathing for them… they were fighting precisely because both of them were at the top of their classes.

Not stopping even once, in fact, they were in constant motion lying around to each other's blind spot.

…

Is it just me or they actually became even faster?

The two transcendent beings became flashes of light that ignore any logical law, turning at right angles, swirling, and testing out each other.

Come to think of it I had seen something like this before, not the battle of two gods, but a shooting star in a night sky, they become exactly like shooting stars of white and red, but instead of dive in one line, these two beings flying to all direction painting the sky with blurring light.

They keep flying far further and further away from us… until we can't see them anymore.

Where are they going?

"Morrigan."

The voice of a bear-like man spoken, replace the awkward stunned silence.

"I… know….."

With an elegant move she lifts her mantle, and from underneath of it come to the group of ravens… murder of crows? What the difference between raven and crow anyway? More importantly, it was the same bird that I saw a few days ago.

"Follow… them…" with a simple order the ravens fly away following the direction from where Arah and Lugh saw.

…

Awkward.

I'm alone now.

…

25.

26.

27.

28.

29.

Thirty seconds have passed.

Seriously this is awkward.

Huh, why? Why aren't they saying anything?

I keep my gaze staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing that had I encountered in my life, maybe it is actually the most beautiful floor I have ever seen, a blemish-free marble white floor.

So beautiful.

…

What the hell am I doing?

Bored at staring at the floor, I lift my head just to meet with one lake-green eye staring directly into my eyes, let out a yelp that I even ashamed of how it sounds out, I stumbled backward in surprise.

"Hmmmaa~~~" she closes the distance her hair that covers the left side of her pretty face swinging in the process, her nose practically touch the barrier now.

What is she doing, please say something. This woman keeps her gaze at me as if I was an interesting subject to observe.

"Epona, keep your nose away from him, you make him afraid," the first woman that I saw before entering the meeting room spoke, somehow the way she spoke is kind of reminds me of my mother.

"What….. she… said…. you….. Criminal… Pedophile….." it took some of me to hold myself for critic her, like "you are not one to talk". I'm sorry, but seriously, she is so creepy before, it's from what I felt earlier.

"I'm not a pedo, you uncultured woman," she takes her face away from me, as she went to other goddesses.

"That exactly what a Pedophile would say," one goddess with deep blue hair spoken, but her face still bored into the sky, showing she's not interested in their banter.

"Ha… ha….. even….. Eriu….. is….. agree…. with….. me… on….. this…"

"Call me Pedophile one more time and I will make sure you will regret it, I just prefer small boys, that all," her gaze darkened,

"Sorry…" Long pause. With how she trembling like a chicken in winter, it almost looks like that she actually afraid right now.

"Pedophile…" and immediately leveled up her accusing.

"All right, that's it, I will kick your ass ten ways until next Tuesday," she put her other hand in the palm and making a cracking sound.

"Bring…. it….. watching… them….. fighting….. has…. been… making….itching….. for…. some…. foreplay…."

"Stop being disgusting!" she spites in disgust.

Scary, like seriously, mom please pick me up I'm scared.

"You brats really do get on my nerves. Can you see that all of your childish fights only caused him more anxious, please act like a proper adult even if it's only for two seconds," the long wavy blonde goddess appears in between them.

Even from before I can tell that this woman is standing in a different place than the other goddess. Just like every woman in the room she has majestic glory full beauty. If one person dedicated one's entire life to worship her beauty that person would not leave any regret until the day they die, it was worth every second, minute, hour, or day.

"Ahhh~~~~….. you….. made….. Danu…. angry…"

"It's you who made her angry!"

What?

"Cease your squabble," she let out few fabric of her power.

"Yes~~~"

"All….. yeah…."

Like a pair of children, they spoke at the same time with a tone that did not show any hint of remorse.

"Are you all right?"

"Epp… ah, yes…" I don't what I should say next.

It makes me feels guilty, even though this blue-haired woman had made her way to asked me if someone like me is all right, all I could reply is something short like that.

And yet she just smiled.

"No need to nervous."

"This…. barrier….. are….. strong…" the awfully pale woman suddenly appears before me, next to the previous goddess.

She put her hand on the barrier only to get instantly repelled by the unknown force. Amazed, she looks at her hand which let out smoke due to the burn.

"Color me surprise… that actually burn your hand," the purple red-haired lady also puzzled.

"Hmm… amazing…." Ignoring the burn on her hand, what she showed right now is tranquil of wonder rather than agony from the pain.

They continue talking to each other after that.

Seriously, this is hard for me, never have been in my life I'm in a situation like this before, always being a loner and keeping a distance from everything. There are only two people in my life that actually talk more than one topic with me, one is my mother and the second are him, while the other, I'd only interact with others when I need to buy something from the town, except than I always try to avoid any kind of conversation with anyone.

It's hard talking with someone who will give you a dirty stare all the time you talking.

I am…

"I…. found… them….." her voice awake me from my negative thought.

"Where are they?" the bear-like man asked.

"Above….. the… sea… far….. in… the…. west….."

"What are they doing, everyone will able to watch them if they fight in a place like that," he let out an exasperated sigh as he pats his head.

"Why….. ask….. me…" she answered as she writes some letters in the air and then a large… what is that thing?

"She made a monitor. With her familiars act as a medium, so right now what we about to see is the same thing that her familiars see right now."

"Hoo."

Looking to the side I just realized this person is not Arah, and I don't even thank her yet.

"Ah..uh….ah, th… thank you."

"You are welcome," smiling paint her sublime face.

.

- Narrator -

"HAH!"

Arah seized an opening in the side of Lugh's stomach and that the god barely managed to block. A roaring sound like an explosion from a cannon was heard, this should not have been the sound of two people fighting, but by the time the sound was heard, it was too late, Arah had already flown high into the stratosphere.

And fall down like a comet, the force of gravity combined with his skill, [Guren Flash].

An explosive noise was heard once more and Lugh crashed into the floor of the ocean like a cannonball, creating a tsunami-like wave the process and at the same time, cracks stretched endlessly across the ground. As if it was an earthquake, the ocean shook and crumbled into a giant wave.

Arah followed up and dived toward the ocean, but at the same time, Lugh flew with unknown speed crashing into him, sending Arah flying, blowing through clouds. Stretching his wings wide he stops mid-way and returned at an even more incomprehensible speed with an attack directed at Lugh.

Two spears meet once again, a roar resounded belatedly, sending a Shockwave that spread to all directions around. Furthermore, the ocean pushed by the force, and the water under them were moving to the side, until all the water forcefully pushed away making the floor of the ocean is visible even from the sky.

They laughed and slowly backed away while facing each other. To escape? No, it was for preparation for the next attack.

"Let me show you something," without waiting for a reply Lugh starting to twirling his spear in one hand.

For a few seconds, there's no changing in anything, but then a black cloud comes and water flows freely from the bottom tendril-like tip of his spear.

'What is that? He's wrapping the cloud to his spear?'

'So it became the spear imbued with not only lighting but the storm itself.'

"Well, isn't that something," after said that Arah noticed that not only he has summoned the cloud from his spear, but also the sky above had lost its color and became gloomy color.

"Well, thank you, but don't be surprised yet."

With his unmatched speed he blitz toward Arah, the blow has been restarted, their strike were more intense than ever before, shaking everything and changing the terrain with the shockwave. But the two culprits were no longer there. Instead, the air detonated high up above in the sky.

This fight has been going for less than twenty minutes, and yet for both of them, it feels ten times longer, and in that time Lugh noticed something is changing from his opponent.

His strike became heavier than before, the damage he had dialed to him getting shallow, his attack becomes, even more, sharper than before… and he keeps getting faster.

The answers he looking for is lies in Arah's Skills.

Especially [Molten Cleaver] deals more damage against burned enemies, [Crimson Sunset], for every attack, it has a chance of 10,2% to trigger time fracture and slowed anyone other than Arah and his friend, [Unbroken Fire] Arah gains attack speed boots for 1 second for every four attacks, [Sharped Intuition], [Foresight], [Delayed Vision], [Batlle Intuition], [Blazing Stellar] has a chance to ignites enemies upon hit, [Hex of Unyielding] the more hits Arah dealt with enemies, he gains ignore interrupt and take less damage, [Sacred Charge] for every 0.5 seconds charging his attack, Arah gains 18% bonus damage, [Aesirs' Bane] enemies with higher divinity will take more damage from every Arah's attack and for the very god himself like Lugh this skill is the worst thing he could face with, this skill is the skill he gained from being Heir of Surtur, the fire giant that will battle against the Aesir and Vanir during Ragnarok.

All of those skills are the reason why his attack and speed keep getting stronger and faster.

The longer his fight taking place, the stronger he becomes.

Lugh without a doubt is strong, stronger than many gods in this world. in his life he had achieved a lot of glories that no one else can, he was the champion of Tuatha Dé Danann, the one who led the battle against Fomorian, and the one who ended the terror of demon king Balor.

Average god would barely be able to see the shadow of his normal attack, and his stronger attack could harm even the mighty Demon King in one thrust, he undoubtedly is the epitome of power in his faction.

However, right now at this moment, he is just unlucky, that his opponent is Arah Auntry Dragonika, for he is the natural enemy of god.

While [Blazing Dance], [Artful Blade], [Dance of War God], [Predator Instinct], and [Dragon Six Sense] keep honed his precision and technique during the battle to be equal even to the veteran of the war.

And yet, all of that doesn't matter for him, the idea of losing should be infatuated to anyone, and yet for a reason that he himself didn't know, he thinks that maybe losing for once is not that bad.

However, that doesn't right now he fighting only for losing, only an idiot would do that. It has been so long since he has to strive for winning, every fight he won until now was as easy as breathing for him, and right now for the very first time he has been cornered, this was an unknown sensation for him, but he greedily enjoys it.

Over and over, the sky exploded, the stone was destroyed and the sea split apart.

This was supernatural.

This was the ultimate.

It was abnormal.

The power level was broken out of the chart.

The battle between monsters, there was no other way to describe it. Battle of at the speed of light, both of them had compressed their body sensation of time so that they could simultaneously attack and defend as if time itself had stopped.

Of course, they did not actually stopping time. If one could move fast enough to b in a state where time was infinitely compressed, it would no different from stopping time.

Dodge, being dodged, attack, defense, kicked, being punched, defended, blocked, magic, thunder, fire.

This was beyond understanding.

In the back of his mind, Arah knew he shouldn't be done this, with this kind of battle there's no way the important figures in this world not aware of him and his power, and yet he instantly kicked away such a thought, what he has right now in his mind is he want to beat the noble warrior before him, and ignoring any kind of consequence that might come to him in future.

All he is feeling right now… is the pleasantness and thrill of this world.

Distant forest shook violently, causing panic among the animal. The seas raged, while the living beings in all over the world felt the vibration in the air, the earth ruptured, the shockwaves caused windstorms everywhere. Typhoon-like winds ravaged the entire world.

.

.

.

In the place of nothingness, while the gods were agitated at the effect. Two women were still unmoved, they standing gracefully watching their fellow dragon gods battle against the other god that they might have heard his name before.

"Why is he holding back?"

"I don't know."

Unbeknown to them there is one more meaning behind that question.

In her mind, the reason why he looks holding back for her is because Arah does not use his World Enemy power in 100%. Right now Arah is only fighting with his level 100 stats, not including the boots he had gained from World Enemy

If we talk with the number right now Arah probably only using 5 to 10% of Devourer of Nine Worlds' strength, but what they didn't know is even without World Enemy power, Arah can easily end his fight if he wants.

With his ultimate skills such as [Autocracy of True Hell] the dimensional pocket, [Thou Who Shone Brighter Than the Sun] the absolute armor and sword, [Quasar], or [World Break] the sure hit attack that said to have a power that able to destroy a nation in one attack, he can defeat his opponent in a single hit.

No, even {Gunggnir} weapon skill alone has enough power and chance to stab his heart.

The only reason he's not using any of those skills is because he merely wants to enjoy this moment.

He just wanted to savor this, take his time and enjoy it, experience this feeling to the fullest.

- Arah -

Words are flowing out.

Like endless rain into a paper cup.

They slither wildly as.

They slip away across the universe.

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy.

Are drifting through my opened mind.

Possessing and caressing me.

- Across the Universe, by the Beatless.

Words of damnation came to me, like a melody from an infinitely distant country. She paid them little mind. Flying feels so good, having the sensation of wind blowing to my face when I flew was just grand.

Is the thought that I usually always had every time I take myself flying to the sky, but that is not the case right now.

Time flowed.

I acquired information.

I gained knowledge.

I evolved.

I realize I'm strong, rather, I'm too strong to the point it almost laughable.

I blocked his horizontal attack with the most minimal power I could muster, and just exactly like before I can guard without receiving any damage or tremor to my body. But that doesn't mean he is weak… rather, he is strong, so incredibly strong, each of his spear attacks held the power to split a mountain in two in a single slash, so underestimating him is something that a fool would even dare to do.

It just me who already come to a compactible state with Arah's body, his stats, and skills, maybe it's arrogant of me, but positively I believe I can use this level 100 power with ease starting from now on. I had learned of how strong my strike is and the limit of this body, so I'm not afraid to use it at full power, without a fear I might go overbroad.

Level 100 without {ERRA}.

But it was a drop of the ocean.

What I use right now is not Arah's true power, not the level 500 monster that could a group of top players with a single slash. Arah… no, Devourer of the Nine Worlds was probably much higher than I can imagine, but it could not be fully utilized because of me serving as a lid.

If I want to use the World Enemy, all I need to do is just throw all the worry and doubt and break my limiter, so I can use the level 500 power, it just… I'm afraid, with that kind of power I probably would be able to defeat this man in one hit, but what would happen after that? With how great that power is, I might have lost my mind and went berserk, and when that happens who will able to stop me.

…

Holy… I'm so self-centered, of course, there's must be someone who is strong enough to defeat me even with my World Enemy power… I hope.

He took steps away, trying to open up some distance, but I will not let him and make a pursuit.

Dodge!

Obeying the sudden order from my brain, I take a sudden turn from my original meant. If it's not for the instinct, a stone would be buried deep in my face right now.

With a large explosion sound I often heard in war movies, I turn my head to the source.

What a great destruction. It was only a small stone and yet the destruction it had caused is strong enough to be compared to the calamity of the atom bomb I saw in historical movies. With such power, it can destroy half of Tokyo with only one shot.

After witnessing his attacks and how destructive it is he caused to nature… I can say.

In terms of destruction, I think the attack in this world holds a much bigger destruction effect than the attack in the game, and that makes so much sense. After all, if in the game DEV decided to make the destruction much worse, it will impact the game size and all, besides it will only be made laggy if every tenth tier or above spells have that kind of effect.

I can hear it… the tremor spreading through the air and sea along with the sound of the land far away from me crumbling every time our attack clashed. Something that I had never experienced before in-game, in the virtual world I can always fight to my fullest with no need to care about what will happen to the area around me, be it a mountain crumble because of my attack and killed some NPC due to my mistake, I couldn't care less about all of that.

Besides all kinds of destruction and casualty will get restored to the previous state in a matter of hour or day, that's why the exaggerated effect is not needed in the game. But not in this real world, the destruction I had caused will not be restored at any time, and in here… there's no NPC, they are all actual living beings, humans who try to live with their best.

Fuck… another reason to not use my World Enemy's power. I don't want to become a murderer… a mass murderer at that, no matter what.

For my own sake, my mother, father, grandpa, grandma, and all my friends. What kind of face they will make if they know I become a murderer? I don't want to imagine it.

"Sorry, but the spear is not my only weapon," took my eyes back to the man, I see him standing in the air as he playing with the slingshot in his left hand.

"Nah, I already knew it."

His face gained different emotions after I said that.

"You know, I have been thinking, you seem to have some information of us from your world, while none of us have any intel on you."

Well, that is true.

"Can you at least give me something here… it wouldn't be fair if you didn't at least share a little bit," he said that with the face of the child, can you be serious when said that?

"You actually have point, but who said anything about fighting fairly," since he's not so serious about this, let's joke around.

"Hmm, no one said that huh?"

"Right."

"But let me share this, my name is Arah Auntry Dragonika, the strongest in YGGDRASIL, and the Fire Dragon Emperor, nice to meet you," I wink my eye.

"Very useful," he said sarcastically.

[Seven Colored Flames of Lotus Flower: Black]

[Kaus Australis] every projectile attack I fire will always hit its target as long they are on a radius of 15 meters from me.

With the first skill I created ten balls of black fire, these are not too big nor too small, each of the flames is on volume that fit to swallow one person, and fires them at him. With the second skill, I have no need for aiming, with no flaw accuracy the flames shots toward him.

With his warrior instinct he must have been sensing something strange of the black flames, take some distance away, he managed to get out from the [Kaus Australis] range, and effortlessly dodging every my flames.

And the avoided flames keep flying away, without the skill's effect and I have no intention to control it anyway, so I let it lose until it falls to the sea.

At all moments when water meets fire, the one with the bigger mass and volume will conquer the smaller one, but that is not the case right now.

What my grandpa recommended to me is not only limited to western stuff, he also told me some great stull from local… like Naruto, One Piece, HunterxHunter, Berserk, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Gundam, Bleach, JoJo series, and some other old manga titles, relics of the past. Well, what he didn't know is that I already had a plan to read those titles, those are the mangas that leave their mark in the world of literature of Japan, that's why it's not weird if I want to read them.

And I'm sure you have read them too if you haven't… go read them, right, fucking, now. If you are life and you haven't read at least Naruto or One Piece, you are not live a proper life, trust me, if you don't know Naruto… it's like you don't know Jesus, and that is really, really bad.

You can stay if you already read Naruto, and if you have finish read that series, then I'm sure you are familiar with Amaterasu, the flame that cannot be extinguished by anything, said to be as hot as the sun itself, one of the two ultimate Jutsu from Mangekyo Sharingan, and the strongest and highest level of fire release in the series.

My black flame is exactly like that, inspired by Amaterasu from Naruto, I created the black flame that can't be extinguished until the target burned to ash, even if the target happens to be another flame or water.

Unlike in series where the user can spark the fire anywhere they want within their field of vision, I need to summon the fire near my body before attacking my opponent.

This flame is the third strongest, second if my opponent is fit the category and the third hottest flame in my seven-colored flames.

By the way, each of my flames is strong enough compared to ten tier magic, combined it with other skill it can even rival Super Tier.

Read Naruto chapter 148 and 390 for better explanation and illustration.

You probably wondering why I have so many skills, even the not strongest ones are comparable to the highest tier magic, well I will explain it next time.

When make a contact with the water, my black flame floating and stay burning by the surface of the sea, the wave had caused the flame to spread, creating the sea of black flame. The instantly evaporated water turned into steam, reaching high to us along with the heat.

"The sea of dark flame in the middle of the ocean, it's not every day can I witness something like this, almost poetic even," a feral grin formed on his lips.

"Even without supplying magic power from me, my black flame will not disappear until its target turned into ash."

How many times have I been repeat this line?

"Shall we?"

"Yeah, let's continue this."

.

.

.

Ah, h~~~ I knew it, a shower and bathing with warm water is the best, it's been a while since I had a proper bath since I came to this world. This might be exaggerated, but I felt like I've been revived.

What? You wondering what happen to the duel, well... just, as usual, every good time must come to end. Dagda and the others decided to stop us since the destruction we caused is too big and it will only get worse if they let us continue to fight like before.

After put out the black flame I came back with them.

That is why right now I'm in the pool of where the gods took rinse their body, and it feels so the highest good. I don't know what they put to this water, but it tastes so fragrant and comforting to my smelling sense. Every time the water move due to the ripple of the flowing air, it felt as if the water massaged every fiber of my skin.

The pool was large with several other small pools. Warm water flowed endlessly from an exquisite jug that holds by fairy sculpture and steam covered the entire place.

The red-haired man is right beside, by the way, sleeping with a towel covering his face.

"Ahh~~ so comfortable, I can feel the fatigue flowing out from my body."

"Why are you talking yourself like that, creepy."

Opened my eyes, I see Merlin standing with a towel wrapping his body, it's cover his body from below shoulder to his thigh. Why did he put the towel on like that? Seriously, man, you give me some mixed signal. ErooroShota would lose her life just from seeing you like this.

"Merlin, are you sure you are in the right room, this is men's bathroom you know," well, let just tease him.

"THAT'S RUDE!"

"Ahahahahah~~~"

Before long he took a seat next to me.

"This is the first time for me to feel water this nice to my skin," he said amazed, and scoop the water with his hands and splashed it to his face.

"Right, it's been a while since I have a proper bath, this treat is divine for me."

The more I stay the more I felt relaxed.

"Oh right, you are a king, huh?"

"Yeah… the floating kingdom, Babylon," I just made that name, by the way.

"Hoo…"

"Speaking about, how were you doing after I left?"

"Well, a lot happened, and there one woman that scared me."

"Is it a woman with bright blonde hair and deep green eyes?" Lugh butt in our conversation, the towel still covering his face.

"Eh…uh… yes, it is," his voice suddenly got lower, still not get used to talking to other people.

"Figured it… you better stay away from her, she is a pedophile and young adorable man maniac."

"I'M NOT A PEDOPHILE IDIOT!"

From the next room, the woman bathroom, a woman shouting out loud… wait, how can is she listening to our talk from there?

That exactly what ErooroShota said when the other members called her shotacon.

They would get along well if she were here.

"Then stop eavesdropping on our conversation!"

Before I leave I will explain how I got so many strong skills in my hand. It's not rare for a top-tier player to own a skill that stronger than a Super Tier spell, like Momonga's [The Goal of All Life is Death], for example. However, even among the top player, they usually only have one or two, not five like mine.

The answer is an item, {A Deal With the Ruler}, or more well known as -the lesser version of {Ouroboros}- among the players. This item has an ability that granted the player one chance to request directly send to the DEV, the true ruler of YGGDRASIL, with an offering sacrificial equal or more fitting with the request.

In my case, I requested to expand my skill arsenal and inventory, by sacrificed half of my potential to learn magic, which they accept for me to expand more space for my other ability and inventory to keep my collection close to me.

With my War Wizard, Armored Wizard, Priest Job Classes it was normal if I can learn the average number of spells every player can learn, 300 spells and 30 Super Tier spells, but it had been cut to half by the DEV. That's why right now without help from an item I only had 150 tier magic spells and 15 super tier magic in my magic arsenal. Consisted by 20 trap magic, 50 support magic, 20 AOE magic, and 60 many others type magic.

It was far contras from Momonga and Diabolos who used their special ability to learn more than 700+ spells in the game, more than the double number of average level 100 Spell Caster.

But of course, those shitty DEV wouldn't let such convenient item without a drawback, worth to noting, be remembered that this item success rate is only 40%, that means more than half of the request will not be granted by the DEV, and what makes it worse is the offering from the player will not be returned to the user from the DEV even after they decide to decline their request.

It's a double-edged item. If they chose not to grant my wish, that means I would be lost around 20% of my power for nothing.

And that is.

- Time-skip brought to you by Scathach, Morrigan, and Arah exchange the knowledge of Rune magic with Tier magic -

"Do you really have to go?" Scathach asked for the five times now, as prepare my item and make sure nothing left, they sure gave me a lot of supply.

"Why… can't… you…. just… stay… here…?" This woman just wanted to dissect me

"Sorry, Scathach, right now I'm on the middle of a journey of self-discovery, to find myself the real me, so I can settle in one place for too long… and no, Morrigan, you just want to dissect me," you crazy woman.

"What are you? Trying to attain enlightenment?" Lugh asked me with an almost comical tone.

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea, maybe when I find a Buddha I will ask them to teach me the meaning of life," yeah, no way, I doubt I can achieve enlightenment.

"Fu… fu… worry…. not… my…. Dear Arah… because…. I..….will… be…. gentle…. and…. teach….. you…. the….. meaning….. of….. life….. myself…"

"You are not even denied it," I made an annoyed face.

"Kuku… ku… that…. aside…. are… you….. sure… you….. don't… to….. visit….. the… Norse… first? Aren't…. you…. curious….. of… this….. world's….. Yggdrasil…. it's….. quite…. close…. from…. here…. too…."

"I'm the type of guy who likes to save the strawberry for the last when eating strawberry shortcake, so I will visit them for the last."

"Strawberry….. shortcake…..?" Oh right, it hasn't been invented yet.

"It's my favorite sweet back in my world (earth), it's like a bread but softer topping it with sweet cream and strawberry jam."

"That… indeed…. Sound…. delicious…." Oh, you understand? I guess you are not that bad, huh.

"Right."

"Will…. You….. make… one….. for….me…?" make a cute face will not take you anywhere.

"Maybe next time," rather I have it some in my inventory, you ask why? Because in-game potion and magic are not the only ways to regenerate HP, there are several other methods to heal HP even without magic involved. Eating food, take a bath in a special pool, or stay in a place that will give you support, in case it will be burning land of a volcano for me.

That's why I supply some food, mainly sweets in my inventory, just in case if I ran out of mana or potion.

"I…. will… hold…. onto…. your…. words… then…." At times like this where she shows me an innocent eager expression, I felt bad about myself for how I think negatively of her.

It was a friendly conversation… is it? It is, isn't it? However, we (Feigning) were oblivious to the… odd look Scathach sent to our way before she let out a fake cough for attention and smiled… politely and keeps giving a calm sincere smile… scary… why I get some yandere vibe from her smile.

…

Say something woman! Why are you just keep silent after asking for attention like that.

"Well, anyway, it's been a great experience to stay here. Around one or two years, I probably will come back here again," I can't take it anymore, let's change the subject.

"You already decide which route you will take?" Dagda voiced out.

"Yeah, I and Merlin decide to go by land route, so we will back to where we began and continue going to China and Shinto faction. It's not like I have a ship to sail through the sea," shrugged my shoulder.

From the corner of my eyes, I watch Epona still trying to talk to Merlin, it was amused to witness a shotacon effort to trap their prey.

"You can create one, right? I mean you can just fly to Aztec's territory without break a sweat," Lugh… shut up.

"It's the journey to attain enlightenment, so I can take the easy way," yeah, let's become a savior.

"So, it already official you want to become a Buddha?"

"I alone am the honored one," under heaven I am unrivaled.

"You haven't reached enlightenment."

"Well, here's one last present from me," pull a talisman from my inventory.

"With this, we can communicate," back in the game I brought these talismans just in case when I reach the limit of my friendship, I mean, when you are a top tier player and a leader of a famous guild there's a lot of players who want to be included in your friend list. That's why this item is useful for me, with this talisman I still can communicate with others who are not on my friend list or party member, you know like a smartphone but with a traditional and supernatural appearance and method.

"All you need to do is write my name on that paper, and you can call me no matter how far I am," I show him the paper after I have done writing - Dagda - in the item.

"Just call me if you have a problem, I'll be more than happy if I can be a help," as I waving my hand and make a phone hand sign.

"You… are…. not…. give… me…. one… of ….. those…..?" the low voice of creepy, yet strangely endearing sexy woman spoke once again.

"Why should I," honestly, it's not like I hate her or anything, but I knew she will just annoy me if I give her this item.

As long she's not trying experimenting on my body she actually a decent woman and her knowledge of magic are more vasts than Scathach's, for the past few days I've been talked for hours with her about the magic of this world and tier magic. It's just this woman can be crazy sometimes.

But somehow… she kind of reminded me of someone… a gothic-obsessed woman with an extremely fickle mind for money.

What a nostalgic feeling.

"Can I have one?" Ahh~~ as always her voice is so calming and endearingly fill with a strong will.

Of course, you can, sweetie. To tell the truth, I kind of feel bad for leaving her. Okay, hear me out, it's not just me well… being me, a narcissistic bastard, but it's the truth that she gave me some signs she's seeing me, and I absolutely will go down on it, she is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met.

But right now my feeling for her is leaning more on lust rather than love.

Actually, what is she even see in me? Honestly, this situation is baffling me. Anyway, I'm never the type of "love at first sight" guy after all, "love comes with time" that's my principle.

So, right now, I will do what I want first and that is traveling this world, and if she still has this feeling when I come back here, then I will… no, only the future can answer that.

"Here," this thing is quite expensive items and not many players bought it, I mean… why would you want to talk with others who are not on your friend list, no way, they are not worth it, but since I'm such generous man, I still want to talk to anyone.

"Is….. this…. what…. they… call…favoritism…?"

"No, this is what they call self-defense."

"Muuu…." Goddammit, woman, it's not fair of you to make such a cute expression… how can you be so cute from being so creepy in less than a second. I already know this even before coming to this world, there's an unwritten rule that doesn't matter where you are standing, the first rule: women are scary for various reasons.

"Here…." I give him one. I will not regret it, right?

"Hehe….. easy….." fuck you.

I sign Merlin to come here, which he complies with a happy face and take the chance to run away from the shotacon goddess.

"Move along, thanks for taught Merlin… bow your head to show gratitude," I rest my hand on his white hair.

"Wha-"

"Uh… thank you for everything, uhhh-"

"I promise I will not use the knowledge you taught for wrong deeds."

We already rehearsed this many times.

"I promise I will not use the knowledge you taught for wrong deeds."

"Be…. careful… your… face… are….. already….. well…. Known….. due…. your….. own….. action….." she said that as she rubs Merlin's hair softly.

"Ah! Right, regarding that, can you keep information about me-"

"You want us to keep the information about you closed?"

I knew it, Lugh is my bro, you sure really understand me.

"Umu, can you do it?"

"I don't mind, to begin with, we don't have an obligation to tell them, but can you tell the reason?" Dagda spoke again after long missing from the conversation.

"I just want to tell about myself to them directly, that's all… and I hate it when other people I don't know already know something about me, something like a violation of privacy, you know."

Don't you hate it when someone you just meet already knows something of you from your friend… I'm not one to talk though, since I already know everything about them from my previous life knowledge.

"Hmmm…. that…. Is… really…. like….. you…" what do you mean by it really like me.

"Anyway, it's a goodbye, for now," all the packets have been packed, I prepare myself to leave.

"Wait."

Scathach spoke after a long absence from the conversation.

She took my hand with her two hands and held it gently. Hers was a little cold than her normal temperature, blushing face, along with glistening eyes and a warm smile.

The kindest smile formed on her face.

It was the most beautiful sight I've seen in my life.

She's not uttering any word. Just keep her eyes close and directly to mine.

Seriously, someone please give me an answer, what is she seeing in me?

"I will be waiting…"

"That… was not fair," man. That was so sweet, something that came out straight from a romance movie.

"And, seriously you don't need to wait for me, I should be the one who begged for you to wait for me."

She only let out a magical sound of a giggle at my reaction.

In my previous life, I can only imagine something like this in my imagination before, to think I actually can experience a moment like this myself directly, I want to express this feeling of gratitude to someone, but no one would understand it.

She is a goddess.

I want to treasure her.

Marry me.

We keep exchange gaze for quite some time, there's no word, no… we don't need for any word, let our eyes speak louder than our mouth.

Of course, a sweet moment like this can last forever, there always something or someone that will ruin this scene.

"So, when the wedding?" and this honor goes to the brat.

"What your kids' name will be?" And his annoying partner to annoy me.

"As always, you two really know your stuff, huh? Way to ruin a moment," every melancholy and romantic-like vibe has vanished with no trace, thanks to these bastards.

"Anyway, we will be leaving now," I send one last smile for her before leaving,

"Let us meet again in another day," with her smile, I open the {Gate}.

"Bye-bye," the last thing I saw is they are replied to my last regard.

- Antarctica, 21 March 1797 -

- ? -

In an all-white of ice world, in a place that even a plant found it hard to live due to how cold this place is, but that still doesn't change the fact that this serenade crystal of ice world is a very pretty landscape to behold.

I can see a white mist every time I let out my breath.

I found a group of four different beings, in a large circle pasture field with various flowers around them… a sight that should be impossible I would find in this place, and yet there it is, right in front of me a lively spring season appears in across of eternal winter world.

Just a few hours ago I had requested I want to meet to discussing something with him, but I didn't believe he would respond immediately and told me where I should have been able to find him. Usually, it would take a few days or even weeks for him to respond due to his moody nature.

And here I am, in the middle of the ice world, with four beings and a few seals and penguins surrounding them spending their time doing nothing but sleeping in the meadow as their bed.

In a world that could freeze a mortal within a minutes, they having a picnic.

"So what do you need from me?" the man asked even without moving his head from the lap of the beautiful slender woman with a crown of extremely long cascading purest snow-white hair and a fringe covering her icy blue orb that prison an entire winter into hers eyes. Soft, almost appear delicate features with well-sculpted nose and small lips. She wears an ornate white gown and a white fur cape with gold designs and blue lining on, her smile and blush had shortly disappeared from the moment she spotted. Her mood had drastically changed from before and stopping her humming.

Probably because I disturb her time with him.

"Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to kick your ass at the moment, but if insist want to make a move of your body, you might fight these two if you want. The name is Protea for the giant and the man is Blood-man," he keeps his eyes close, as he points at the man beside him and the giant face right behind him. Then he chose to deepen his head into the pillow of thighs and a seal sleeping above his body, as if the seal was acting like a blanket.

What he said can be translated like this… I'm getting bored of fighting you, a fight that I will definitely win, in the end, so my servant is enough to take care of you.

I'm reading too much into it.

As always his mouth is painfully blunt, he said that not because he wanted to mock me, but simply that is the fact and what he felt. Besides, I'm not the only one who got beaten by him repeatedly. It almost sounds like an excuse for the losers, but I can help it, the idea of fighting against Dragon God-level beings is something that everyone with the heart of a warrior desired in their life, especially with the guarantee of still being alive even after the fight.

That's why the strong and important being of around the world challenged him. Typhoon, Beelzebub, God of Thunder from Celtic, Surtr, Thor, Susanoo, and many others, yet no one can beat him.

What he meant by "these" are the two figures who accompany him at the moment. One is an adult man with medium-length black hair with few red strikes and dead blue eyes, and two earrings on each of his ears, bluish-ash skin complexion on his lean body with a lot of stitches mark shows all over his body and face, all of that made him appears as if he was lifeless and made anyone who looks at him wondering if this man is alive or not. It is hard to believe this man give me a chill from the moment I saw him.

For the clothes, he wears a tattered brown coat with a bloodstain at the end of the coat over his simple worn-out white shirt and with yet another tattered item for his pants and boots shoes. All of that gives me an impression of a homeless person, but with an abysmal eerie aura.

He sits on the grassland using his hand to support his body, a serene smile that only sends terror to anyone who looks at it, his eyes boring into me with an unmoving expression.

The second is a female giant… no, she is too big for a mere giant, I had seen many races in this world in my life, and giant tribe is one of them, and this woman easily towering those giant I had seen so far. Common adult giant size in this world is around 15 to 25 meters. Even for the giant 25 meters is already abnormal, and yet this woman… I can't measure her exact size with her current position, the only thing I see is her face, and that almost as big as my whole body, sleeping on her stomach she appears like a harmless cat or dog.

Her purple long hair had covered almost all the meadow with few animals such as penguin playing on it, until a moment ago she still closed her eyes not showing any interest in my presence or my whole existence, but now after Arah told me I can try to fight her, she instantly opened her eyes revealed her pale purple and orange-red eyes from right to left, and looked at me warily, from her gaze I can tell she ready to attack me anytime and just waiting the moment for his order to do so. Large brown horns protruding from the top of her head that has flowing shape backward, and a crown made of blue-silver crystal rest on her head between the gap of the horns and wearing ornate green and white striped outfit.

Monsters.

A titan that surpasses any giant that gives a pressure equal even to Heavenly Dragons, and a zombie with unsettling eerie air that probably in the same league with her. They are all terrifyingly strong. In most if not all situations without a second thought I will jump at the chance and fight one of them.

One of the most well-known goddesses in north countries, Morana the Goddess of cold, frost, winter, and death.

And their boss and lover, the current who holds the title of the strongest, the youngest of Dragon God. The culprit behind the incident known as "a year without winter" Arah Auntry Dragonika.

However, not right now, I have a more urgent and important matter than commit a pointless fighting.

"Apologize to disappointed you, but I have come here not for that, there's something that I need help from you, and I had prepared myself for any cost no matter how high it is as long that means I will get your assistances," I said with the most serious voice I have ever I let out. I know if someone he has known for so long like me made a request like this, he will at least listen to my plea, only listen that is, if I truly want his help I need more than this.

"Now this the first time I hear you said something like that," he arises from the lap, his earrings swinging in the process, and opens his eyes, showing his blood-red eyes. In the midst of snowy land like this, his hair and pale skin almost look transparent to me.

"And no need for that dramatic, if that something I can help with, I will probably do it," he trailing with a hoarse sleepy voice after a yawn.

"I thought we are on a date?" the silver-haired woman spoke with a soft and elegant manner of a noblewoman. She put her chin on his shoulder.

"Sorry, Rana, it will only take a moment, don't worry," he put his hand on her hand and rub their hand with each other.

"One hour," she muttered softly.

"Yes, yes, one hour," so I only have one hour to explain why I am here?

"So what's wrong?" he turns his focus back at me, the Goddess of Winter still rests her head on his shoulder and sent a glare at me.

So I explain why I am here, it took at least half an hour for me to finish my story.

"Apple dragon… the heck is that? Dragon at least needs to eat one apple per year to survive… this is the first time I heard this," he whispered dumbfounded, and he put his hand on the head of his lover who already changes different places and sleeps peacefully in his lap.

"Did Tiamat never tell you about this?"

"That bitch, she never told me something like this."

"Well, that aside, I will punish that woman later… in bed," he snickered at the end, what is wrong with this man?

"Tomorrow come to Avalon and make sure to bring the apple, tree, and the soil. I'm sure Märche can do something about that," he said as he keeps stroking the hair of the silver-haired woman.

"Thank you, I will repay this debt," I stated. Standing I prepare myself to get back home, I sent a nod at him before I leave which he replied with a waving hand.

Spread my wings I took fly away from the pure white world.

Update after three months…. ahhahahahaha

Sorry, I decided to change a few names of the skills. By the way, if you are too lazy to imagine how the OCs look, just imagine them like this, Blood-man = Zombie Man (OPM), and Morana = Anastasia (Fate), for Epona and Eriu… they have no base actually. I just throw what I had in my mind when imagined how they will look by anime standard.

Arah in the middle of this chapter is still a human, imagine how a human would react if they saw an actual goddess appearing before them? After this, he will get used to this hentai-borderline anime standard beauty, so when he meets another supernatural being like Gabriel, he will only like "oh she was beautiful, just like the group of goddesses I witnessed in Celtic" no need for exaggerated word or reaction.

-a-a-a-a-a—a-a-a-

Fuck me. I already lost 99.9% motivation (like I lost every motivation to do anything else, honestly I just want to sleep and never wake up) for writing. It's just a phase after all.

Kaicho will be graduated in July, Kiryu Coco will leave me starting July, no more shitpost review, no more meme, no more Usaken. Seriously, I felt so hollow when I watch the last stream when she announced her graduation concert, fuck shit asshole, she is one of my favorite in Hololive, fuck the antis, they ruined everything.

I legit crying after the stream ended.

I still can't believe she will be the first to actually (properly) graduate from Hololive, I imagine it would be Sora or Sui-chan or the other Pillars members. Imagine in the morning you decide to open YouTube, then get a recommendation from the channel you subscribe to just for her to announce her graduation.

Day ruined.

Honestly, everything is just pain, college, part-time, assignment, or life in general. I lose all the passion that used to have, the passion for reading manga, watching new series anime, or others hobby that I use to enjoy is now long gone, all left is just a boring man like me. And now Coco will leave my pathetic life.

When was it the last time I actually enjoy watch anime? Oh right, Zombie Land Saga, and JoJo part 5, (2018). I can't even bring myself to watch new anime that I already following like Re:Zero, Mushoku Tensei, Shingeki no Kyojin. Even before the anime adaption was announced I already hyped these series by reading the LN and manga, yet when the anime comes… I don't even have the motivation to watch it, it's not like I come to hate it or what, just lose passion, that's all.

Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man are good tho, especially the Shibuya arc and International Assassins Arc.

(I watch too much HOLOLIVE stream, goddammit…. KKKKKAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HHHHHHHHUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

Fuck, I'm not even 22 and feel like my life is going to shit already. I don't even have a social life outside college and the workplace, fuck, I hate myself.

I wish I have a rich sugar mommy who will spoil me even when I've become a useless person.

Sorry for the rant, I just want to let out the stress inside my head. Really, sorry.

I know it's random but here are my top five favorite Fanfics:

1. The Aegis of Fairy Tail, the fanfic that pulled me into a rabbit hole called OC/self-insert/reader-insert, around late 2019, I for the first time encountered OC fanfic thanks to this title, and instantly got hooked.

2. Smoke and Mask (Danganronpa), personally this is my favorite on this site, TAOFT in the top because it has a bigger impact on me. If you like smart, cold, sarcastic OC, and an original story I strongly recommended this.

3. Diabolus est Meliodam, my favorite fanfic in DxD fandom. Incest shit (for fuck sake, I'm such degenerate, incest is disgusting in the real world, but it's fiction world you know, you can unleash whatever disturbing shits in here. Some people doesn't have the ability to separate between fiction and reality, though), and a lot of OCS.

3.1. DxD: A Minor Tale, original story, and original character.

4. Dragonfly (Naruto), out of all fanfics I had ever read, this one left the most impactful feel to me. (this is female Uchiha oc, and focus on slice of life and drama, no action.)

5. A Gamers Guide to Necromancy (DxD), personally I'm not into a story with gamer theme story, anime, or manga. Not the ones like Overlord or Konosuba, in Konosuba you need to complete a quest to gain Skill's points then you can get or upgrade skills, and it still very limited, but what I mean is the ones with "System Gamer" thing, where the MC or OC get guided by the System and where they got a lot of upgrade stats, skills, or gets some great magic items by doing a mundane thing like sleeping or eating, or where the MC have their own cheating way to gets stronger like a personal dungeon or something or get the other power like PoD, even worse power from another anime. In this kind of story doesn't matter what the problems the MC face, some shit of Deus ex Machina from the System will come to save the days. But you know what, this one is great for me, this fanfic is the first System thing story that I greatly enjoy from all different media. (This is just my personal preference, it's not like I force my taste on you or anything, it's not like I have a real problem with system thing story if you like them then it's your preference, simple as that. Holy shit, many times I have said "or")
