Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Log Horizon. This is a fanfiction used to help with my writing skills and the fact I enjoy writing stories like these. All I own is the ideas and sub-plots used to make this fanfiction and explore Log Horizon and Naruto in a different way. Also, don't own any of the games and anime I make reference to in this story, but still got to give homage to video games since this is technically a video game fanfiction as well.
"The rate is increasing." Kurama said. He glared at the white space behind Las Boss, watching it slowly eating away at greenish yellow sewer that was once Las Boss' mind.
"Yeah. The faster my new mindscape devours the old mindscape, the faster the rate goes for your HP and MP." Las Boss sighed. He looked back with a disgusted frown with seeing the white space had already taken out the wall and door that was there just yesterday. "Quite annoying. Here, I thought you would have at least a few more days. But, seems this world is saving you as the last thing to get rid of in my mind. Well, except my memories of you. They are safe along with the one memory I made sure to keep."
"So, you think it's going to work?" Kurama asked. He grinned at Las Boss.
"No fucking idea, but I don't care. If you are going to die, might as well let you die with some fun under your belt." Naruto grinned back, adjusting his glasses. "But, even with proving the concept of making spells and gotten some new ones, this type of spell is a whole new level. Probably going to hurt pretty badly for me since it is untested and bugged, but again I don't care as long as it does the job done."
"Heh. You know, I almost don't hate the bastard who sealed me in here anymore." Kurama chuckled, "But, you could die as well if this goes wrong, you know?"
"Yep! But don't care! If I live, then I can make possibly Materialization Shiritori from No Game No Life real if I prove the concept! Or at least mimic Final Fantasy! It's pure awesome! Especially if I can get a repeat of episode 6 of No Game No Life! Right down to the freaking hydrogen bomb and supernova!" Las Boss said, a little drool coming out of the side of his mouth out of the pure joy. "I can make my ultimate dream of living in a reality like Disboard true! A world defined with rules that create a real game world than the shit game of life!"
"And this is where almost applies." Kurama sighed. He smirked at the pout he got from Las Boss. "You have a twisted mind. Would you grow up?"
"Nope! I will forever be a kid!... Well, in the inside, that is." Las Boss sighed. He pointed at his chest since both of them knew he now had the body of an adult. "However, to me, everything is a game, even life. How else can I justify all the playthroughs I have been through. It's in fact much like the respawning of this world, except I get reborn through a mom every time till now. Hence why I actually love the fact that I am now in a reality that works like a game as everything that confused me so much in the old world now make sense. It is like the game laws truly apply compare to only partly doing so... Well, other than the shit game stuff like you dying. A game should be enjoyable for all sides, not a few."
"Though, I do wonder how, if you do live, you will get out of the situation you are setting yourself in. I want to die knowing you'll at least not end up in the same situation I am in, Brat." Kurama snorted. A bit peeved at the current situation.
"Oh. I know what I am doing and will enjoy it. In fact, now I am glad this version of Elder Tales is now reality. I can now do what I always wanted to do that I couldn't as a GM when it was a pure game. Never could as it would go against the game policies." Las Boss chuckled, closing his eyes.
"Well, well. Seems luck is on my side today." Las Boss opened his eyes, finding himself facing a closed shop with snow covering its empty boxes and the surrounding streets he was standing in. "I can finally get my revenge on you, Lassy." Las Boss turned, finding himself surrounded by a group of players who looked more like thugs than adventurers.
There was a bear of a man right before Las Boss, looking straight in his eyes with being almost the same height. He was very muscular and his face fit the overpowering aura he had. Just like a bad guy from a movie or video game. Standing right behind him was a mage wearing a gray robe, his own stone-cold face covered by half of his blond hair. The muscle man was a Monk while the mage was a Sorcerer from what Las Boss saw on his status screens.
"Heh..." Las Boss smirked, adjusting his cloak he was wearing to keep the cold at bay. "Well, well, well. Long time no see. You're a sight for sour eyes, Demikas. Londark." Las Boss spoke, his voice quite low and quiet behind his collar.
"You sound just like I expected you would, Lassy." Demikas, the bear man, snorted. "A snarky, quiet guy who barks loudly in pride. But, now you don't have your game master hacks anymore, don't ya?"
"Why do you think that?"Las Boss asked. He lazily looked at the other players. There was three weapon based players and two healers. However, given there was seven players before him, he had to guess another party of five was hidden in the alleyways belonging to Londark. The rules of parties with six people were still in play in this world.
"It is highly unlikely your hacks were brought over when we became stuck in the game. You are just like other players, Las Boss. You cannot hold your title of End Game Boss anymore without them." Londark, the mage, slightly scoffed. "You seemed to enjoyed wiping our guild out and expelling it from Akiba and Nakasu with being overpowered. Now it is time for us to repay the favor."
"The law of no fighting in the city still stands, Londark."Las Boss shook his finger at the duo. His tone cold and calculating. "Not that I am staying here much longer. I only stopped to restock on some supplies. There are some items I need so I can to get to crafting."
"Heh. Not so fast. I want to add you to my Friend's List, Lassy." Demikas chuckled, pointing at Las Boss and making movements with adding the Druid to his friend list. "That way I know wherever you are and take you out the instant you leave the city."
Clever. Las Boss thought. The Friend's List can also locate nearby people on the list. However, you could add anyone to your Friend's List without their permission. They just had to be in front of you. That must be how they were tracking the noob and the mystery Naruko. The unknown player is hiding them in a private zone. Las Boss thought.
When he heard from Shiroe that Maryelle told him Naruko was in Susukino, he was skeptical. However, they had no idea of this Naruko Maryelle mentioned could be another Naruko with extra parts to the name or Las Boss's alternate character. Las Boss's Friend's List was acting up and actually giving fewer details than everyone else's Friend's List.
"I thought you hated me."Las Boss pouted at the duo, his eyes softening to give himself a slightly creepy child like expression. "I was kind of scared you did as all the Akiba guys are pussies. They did not want to join me on exploring this awesome world."
"You came here from Akiba?" Londark asked, raising an exposed eyebrow. "The transport gates are down."
"That's a big duh."Londark glared at Las Boss as he shrugged. "But, it made the journey here much more fun! There is a new dungeon monster in the Depths of Palm that is quite a challenging party rank!"Las Boss hummed, spinning around.
"Heh. You seem quite happy of this world, Lassy." Demikas growled, narrowing his eyes at the carefree man. "I'll change that after PKing you every time you leave this city! Till you beg for it to stop and keep on doing it just for the hell of it!"
"Hmmmm. I didn't take you for a dominate." Las Boss smirked at the men. Demikas and Londark's eyes widen when Las Boss's body suddenly turned into leaves and disappeared. "You always seemed perfect uke material. Acts toughs and barks loud, but submissive in bed."
"You still have your hacks!" Londark gasped slightly in shock, looking at where Las Boss was at... And a blush gracing his face of utter disgust.
"Easy to frustrate, but easy to take over. Makes me wonder how you would be like in bed all the times I PKed you." Demikas own face was turning red as well. It was hard not to with Las Boss pressing his chest again Demikas' back, his hands on his chest and leg exploring.
"W-What do you mean, L-Lassy?" Demikas shouted, his strength oddly missing as Las Boss rubbed his abs. "Why the hell are you speaking like that?"
"I always speak this way. But, had to go with light teasing due to Elder Tales censors and rules. I kind of felt bad expelling your guild as it was so much fun utterly destroying you." Las Boss looked at the other players with a hungry smile.
The other Brigandia members stepped back, gob smacked and blushing at the brazen display. "I like dominating my prey. Every. Way. Possible." Las Boss whispered into Demikas ear before licking it. "So, I don't mind the challenge. If I defeat you, though, you won't be PKed." Las Boss hand began traveling from the hip to-
"PHANTOM STEP!" Demikas shouted, suddenly disappearing with an afterimage and tripping some while moving away from the Druid. "Y-You're a homo!" Demikas shouted, his face red.
"I go both ways. But I love beefy prey. You're my perfect type. Londark over there is my second favorite type. Strong, yet lithe."Las Boss winked at Londark who moved away from Druid, making sure to not lose sight of Druid like before. "Though, not planning to go eroge game till after I get the crafting I want to do. Once I get those items, then it will be a lot more fun." Las Boss chuckled, sending chills down all the Brigandia members' spines.
"Though, if you wanna try to PK me, go ahead. The item on my back keeps me from losing any items or money when killed. So, you won't get anything out of it... Unless you want to bet who tops, then I might let you be seme." Las Boss winked again at Demikas and Londark.
"NO!"Demikas roared. "We're leaving! No fucking way I am messing with a homo creep!" All the members agreed and followed their leader as he stomped off his embarrassment of being harassed.
Ah... Right when it was getting to the really fun part, Las Boss pouted while watching the Brigandia guild went out of sight. Teasing people is so much fun.
"Boss... I am never doing that again for you."Las Boss heard Shiroe speaking through the telepathy link he had open the whole time. He also could hear Naotsugu laughing his butt off before Akatsuki kneed him and they began bickering. "I need to wash my mouth out after saying all that. Where the heck did you learn all this crap? You're twelve!"
[Manga and games. I love any game with challenges. Also, when I found out from the Red Light District I might deal with sex on missions as a ninja when I was younger. So, I researched it since no one wanted to explain to me what it was for some reason.] Las Boss pressed the yes box with his mind when the confirmation box appeared before his message. However, upside, the textbox did not appear to others except the person contact through the Friend's List whereas others can hear the person you are talking to through the link.
Though, still don't get why everyone holds their hands to their ear when they use the link. What is with that? Las Boss thought, frowning at the condition of the streets. Susukino was a place that was supposed to look rough. It was a frontier town in the middle of a cold, unforgiving place after all. But, to Las Boss, it seemed more of a prison than a stone fortress.
"Boss, the fact that text box had Red Light District and explaining what sex is, I can guess why they did not want to tell you. And now I know why you're quite crude and lewd with your type. How the heck you keep from doing that when Elder Tales was a game, I will never know."Shiroe sighed, Las Boss could see in his head the mage shaking his head.
[Hey! Just because I like to talk one way does not mean I do not know how to keep it clean!] Las Boss pouted his cheeks while thinking the message. [I mean, for some reason, people don't like me talking like an adult, so I try not to do it back at the academy. Especially since there was a girl I was trying to date.]
"You were dating?" Shiroe asked, his tone flat. Las Boss smirked at realizing his old friend was jealous.
[Trying to date. But, I did like the manga and how-to books said to ask her, talk to her, and so on. Yet she kept shouting at me to leave her alone and even sometimes hit me.] Las Boss sighed, walking back towards some shops he seen when he came into the city.
"I don't blame her. My guess, you looked like some love struck creep." Shiroe snickered slightly.
[Well, sorry! At least I took an effort to try to date someone, unlike you! You're twenty-two and you don't have a girlfriend yet! But.. It's not as easy as it is in the games even with my old life being like a game... Though, haven't seen her since I quit the academy, so she probably forgot about me.] Las Boss let out a sigh. Ah, if I remember, Sakura-chan was one of the students stuck in Hamelin. She probably still forgotten me and only was there in my room to get me to go back the academy with helping the sensei.
Another thing to add to the "Deal with It" list. Las Boss has found this very list growing every day. Even the bags under his eyes had yet to go away and he would not be surprise they were permanent. He could not trust on his very convenient healing ability to get those sleep derived under-eye bruises to go away after a few days of good rest. Saved him from ever having to explain his all-nighters he did back when he was still in ninja school.
She probably scream bloody murder and run away seeing me now. Well, does not matter who or what they are, if they give me the chance, I'll date them for the chance to experience love in this playthrough. Las Boss thought. He did not get the concept of perverts, though found it easy to tease people who fit the label. However, he did get the concept of love and sex. He knew he had to have the former before really going into the later unless it was a one-time deal or something like that with the research he done. What he really wanted, though, was some love as he did not want to be alone for the rest of his life. I remember the playthroughs where I was all alone. It is horrible. And I don't want others to experience the same in this world with no laws outside of the game laws.
"A-Anyways, you have secured your way out of Susukino if your part of the plan does not work?" Shiroe stutter slightly.
[Yep. I just need a few seconds to ensure my Griffon can be summoned and jump on my mount. Hence why I put on the Orochimaru act to make sure to creep Brigandia's main force out.] Las Boss chuckled slight, [Though, it is fun to mess with people like that. Maybe they really are interested in having some fun in bed.] Las Boss teased, waiting for Shiroe to respond.
"No. You are a twelve year old with questionable sexuality. There's a reason I put you for only private messaging on my blog. And I don't want to even know who or what an Orochimaru is... Naotsugu and I are about to go and meet Serara-san. Akatsuki has herself set up with her clones to give us constant updates of where Brigandia is at." Shiroe said. "You're going to head towards where we will meet up and move out of the city. Are you sure you want to do an experiment in this situation? You haven't even told me what it is."
Las Boss ignored the gloomy looks of the NPCs and players around him and focused on the cloudy sky above. [Yeah. I am. If your battle plans go correctly, I will be able to ensure no backlash from Brigandia. They already think I still have my hacks and my experiment will only solidify it if it works. If not, it will be good distraction for Akatsuki to take out whoever you need taken out and you get a laugh later.]
"You need to stop treating life as a game. Sure, you respawn, but..." Las Boss heard Shiroe letting out a sigh.
[Oie. Even before I ending up in this reality, I treated life like a game. You kind of have to after the crap I been through over and over again. However, if there is a challenge, I will not back down. It's better to face challenges than to face what people call destiny. The noob and Naruko mystery lady will be saved, even if I end up in the Cathedral to do it.] Las Boss looked at Susukino's Cathedral that had snow covering its roof and fit for a quiet winter cityscape painting. That is, if I respawn after doing the experiment. I will be breaking some laws and possibly getting strike three.
"Please be careful. We won't be able to come back and save you if you do go down." Shiroe adamantly said, even though his voice wavered slightly.
[I know. Stop being a mother hen.] Las Boss let out a little jolly chuckle while walking forward. The NPCs and Players giving him odd looks as he spun around in the streets, as if he was in a far more enjoyable world than the cold, hard one they were seeing. [Our objective is to save Naruko and the noob any means necessary. Why not have some fun in the process?]
