The Protagonists Are Murdered By Me Chapter 39: 196-200, a 13 tzameti fanfic

"You are a protagonist?" I asked. But something is strange. Normally, when I meet a protagonist, I can see their level as well as their role in the story inside the tag above their head. But, in her tag, I couldn't see anything. On top of it, I couldn't feel the presence of the episode or the flow of the story. However, one thing was certain. That is, the power of 'probability' was surrounding her. That fact alone was enough to convince me she was indeed a protagonist.

Then, the question was, why did a protagonist suddenly come to Earth? And why did that woman carry the jumbled mess of Hell Gate all over her body?

The woman grinned at me.

"We are all protagonists of our own stories." She said in a very playful tone. It was as if she was treating me like a child.

"What do you mean? What the hell are you?"

"Are you asking because you don't know? Do humans not even have the intellectual capacity to figure out anything on their own? If so, that's disappointing. I thought the 'Protagonist Hunter' would be a little different."

"WHAT!?!?" Goosebumps ran all over my body as soon as I heard her words. I had never told anyone except Aracelli that I was a Protagonist Hunter. And even to her, I only explained it vaguely. To Seol Jungyeon noonim and Taylor, I only told them that I was going to another world to fulfil a murder contract. In other words, the only being who knew that I was a Protagonist Hunter was the system.

'System, don't tell me there's another person who knows about this aside from me and you…' I questioned the system in my head.

Perhaps… that is indeed the case…

I swallowed my saliva at her words. That's right. It was just like the saying, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. Moreover, I don't even know much about being a Protagonist Hunter, so I never thought that it was my secret. As soon as I thought like this, I was able to regain my calm.

"I come from the world you love so much, Hell Gate. You are already vaguely aware of it, aren't you? Fufufu, what a cute human."

That's right. I had my suspicions. However, I had no idea that there would be a being with such a high intelligence inside the Hell Gate.

"Then… are you the 'protagonist' of the Hell Gate?"

It was a premise that made absolutely zero sense. From what Aracelli and the system had told me, Hell Gate was a place where debris of all dimensions gathered. However, since Hell Gate is also a dimension… there's a chance that a protagonist would also be born there, right?

"Think as you like. After all, even if you knew the answer, it would be meaningless for you."

"And why is that?"

"Because, I will kill you here. You are a hindrance to our perfect world. I really have no idea why you are still allowed to live."

Allowed to live? By who?

But my thoughts were cut short because the woman raised her hand and stretched it towards me.

There were a lot of people who were as strong as SS rank superhumans here. So, if a fight broke out, they would be able to deal some damage to her. But the question was, will their power be enough to kill someone who had the power of 'probability' on her side?

Rumble-!!

The moment those thoughts flashed in my head, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the clear sky above and struck the woman. It was not a common occurrence, but it's something that really happens to someone who had really, really, really bad luck.

Sizzle-!

Smoke rose from her body. Even a thunderbolt—a force of mother nature—couldn't do any significant damage to her who had the power of probability.

However, if there's something worth noting about the occurrence, it was,

'At such an important moment, something unfortunate happened to the protagonist?'

It was ridiculous. Protagonists were those who received the blessings of the world. Everything they do, the world moves to lend them a hand. Therefore, in the current situation, it was more likely for such unlucky things to happen to me or those who stand against her. So how did something unlucky like this happen to her?

Unlike me, who is just purely confused, the woman's complexion turned pale in an instant.

"Come on, wait… this isn't it… Wait a minute, I'm really, it's all for our goal…"

Whooosshhh-!!

A cold wind suddenly blew. Even though I couldn't feel anything from the surroundings, the woman kept speaking gibberish to no one in particular. Sometimes she looked at the sky, sometimes to the ground, sometimes to the clouds, sometimes to the mountains.

"This… This… This is not what it looks like… I'm doing it purely for our perfect world…" She said frantically.

"Did she go crazy?"

A protagonist? All of a sudden went crazy?

While I was taken aback, Lacanthal swiftly took action by raising his hand. In his hand was a staff adorned with blue crystals on one end of the handle.

"Attack that woman!"

He was implicitly known as the leader of the otherworlders, so all the otherworlders immediately mustered their power and hurled magic in various colours towards the woman. Although most of them had lost their original power or were in a state which rendered them unable to fight, there were as many as five beings with power equivalent to an SS rank in the group. And their fighting senses were still sharp, so it wasn't difficult to deal with the woman who was losing her mind.

'Why don't you fight back?' The woman just stood there and looked at me. Her eyes, which were filled with murderous intent towards me a few moments ago, had now been replaced with despair. They were similar to those of a patriot who had lost all her will because she had lost her entire country. Her wings were torn, her grey skin cracked, her eyes ripped open, and her face was in the process of being ripped apart by the incoming magic.

'Just why…'

After a while, she finally shed her tears while looking straight at me before slowly opening her torn lips.

"In our perfect world… There is no room for someone like you!"

"Because…." she uttered her last words with an enraged expression. "Because… it's a world of protagonists."

As soon as those words left her mouth, her neck fell off.

[Talent and skill? What is [email protected[email protected]

A message which always appeared once I finished killing a protagonist appeared before my eyes. However, I ignored it as I couldn't take my eyes off her body for a while. It was because, even after she—a protagonist—died, the phenomenon of 'recovery of probability', which should have appeared at that moment, was not happening.

'Just what in the world is happening?'

That woman was definitely a protagonist. It was proven by the fact that the 'probability' inside her body was absorbed into me in the form of levels. However, the probability of her world which blessed her did not change at all. As if she was not even the protagonist in the first place.

'Then, what the hell is that woman?'

After the ruckus ended, I went to visit Rahvar, who was, from the information I had been told, heavily injured.

While I was in front of the building where Rahvar was being treated, the reporters pointed the camera at me and started throwing a barrage of questions.

-Hunter Yoo Seodam! Do you have any reason to help an adversary?

It was a justified question. Iran was a country which did not interact with Korea at all after the Great War ended. However, despite this fact, I, one of the most famous hunters from Korea, had come to help Iran. So it was only natural that the reporters were fervent.

That's not all. Throughout the whole ordeal caused by the unknown woman, the 'otherworlders', which were scheduled to be revealed once all preparations from my part was completed, were revealed to the public abruptly. So the reporters also demanded that I shed some light regarding the matter. But I kept my silence. After all, something as big as that should only be done through a press conference.

Soon, I entered the building and arrived in front of Rahvar's room which was big enough to put the aristocrats' room to shame. He looked like nothing more than a boy lying peacefully on top of a bed. With his eyes closed like that, he looked so pretty that he could be mistaken for a woman.

"Thanks to you, Iran was saved. Thank you."

"Please say that in front of the camera."

"Well, I should do that, shouldn't I? The script for that time is currently being prepared."

I glanced at Rahvar's ankles as he spoke playfully. It should be close to impossible to regrow body parts which had been completely cut off. Most likely, he wouldn't be able to walk for the rest of his life.

"Are you bothered by it?"

"…it would be a lie if I said I wasn't bothered by it."

This was only the second time I met Rahvar. It was safe to say that I had no special connection to him and I only came here for nothing more than business reasons. However, seeing him losing a part of his body during the battle made me feel very uncomfortable.

That's probably because I was aware that it could also happen to me since I am still living on the battlefield until this very day.

"To be honest, this works well. Really, this condition is quite welcomed"

"Pardon?"

When I was taken aback by Rahvar's outrageous words, a genuine smile, which I thought was something he couldn't make, bloomed on his face.

"Now, I can go anywhere I want."

"…"

It was truly ironic.

He finally gained his freedom to move anywhere he wanted only after losing both of his legs.

To defend Iran, Rahvar had dedicated his whole life to this land, sacrificing even his own freedom. It was because he thought that only by doing so would he be able to defend this land. However, as time went by, he found out that his power alone wasn't enough. That's why he tried to find someone, anyone, whether it was a S Rank superhuman, an otherworlder, or a mercenary, anyone would work as long as they could be hired with money to be his limbs. However, it did not work in the end. And the rest was history.

"Thanks to this incident, I realized that the most important thing is for a ruler to appear in front of the world and give his people a peace of mind. Thank you very much."

…to sum up his words roughly, he's going to throw away both his resentment and desire towards the otherworlders, and asked me to take care of them.

"Thank you." I bowed my head to him and left the hospital.

Journalists were still flocking in front of the building. The Association's hunters were blocking them, but it was impossible to stop them with only that. They weren't called reporters for nothing. So, I decided to give them my statement.

"Yes. I helped Rahvar in Iran because he promised me something."

Click! Click! Click!

Every time the reporter pressed the shutter, the illusion of a scorching sun seemed to appear before me. Their light was just that blinding.

"The existence of different races is also true. I discovered this fact by accident and now I will help them assimilate into Earth's society. Excessive stalking to the point of stressing them… will never be forgiven."

Some of the reporters' faces hardened at my last words. They must have been reporters who secretly attached tracking superpowers to the otherworlders. And, then I added one last statement.

"From today on, my guild, Another League, will start preparing for the 'Hell Gate' expedition."

In a far, far dimension where Cheongyeon Private Magic Academy exists, Aracelli Rinekal, a beautiful girl with a black hair as dark as night and blue eyes as crystalline as sea, was relaxing in her small hut in the countryside.

Whoosh-!!

Whenever the wind blows, the greenery which stretches endlessly to the horizon in front of her dances along. The scene was soothing and beautiful. She could proudly say it was one of her favourite moments so far. Of course, it couldn't beat the moment when she met her Professor in the past or any moments she shared with him.

Aracelli smiled. She hoped that the Professor would soon start his journey again. Although she always arrived at the wrong time whenever she followed him, it was because of a badly twisted 'time axis'. But that was fine. For her, if it meant she could see him again, she would happily face any obstacles in front of her.

While thinking so with her eyes closed,

"…!!!" Aracelli suddenly jumped to her feet trembling as goosebumps assaulted her whole body.

'Wha…what…?'

It was only momentary, but for those several moments, she couldn't feel the Professor's energy. No matter how far away he was, because of the tracking spell she put on him, she would always be able to feel his energy. For an Archmage like her, being wrong about something that's related to magic was something impossible. What happened just now meant that whatever happened to the Professor was something beyond her scope of understanding.

"Just what…"

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a huge man-made structure, which blended perfectly with its surroundings, was floating above the water. The structure, which was built with the latest human technology, was called 'Island'. It was a boring and uncreative name. But that name embodied just how mundane the Island's function was; observing the Hell Gate.

However, contrary to its mundane and boring function, the structure shouldered a heavy burden of humanity's survival. It was safe to say that it was the very first line of defence humanity had against the Hell Gate. This reflected well on the fact that billions of dollars were invested in the structure every year.

So far, humanity has attempted to conquer Hell Gate several times. But success was a word which had never accompanied these attempts. The expedition that Yoo Seodam had joined years ago was only successful in digging up the material inside. They had barely managed to come alive from scouting, and as surviving itself was so difficult, conquering it was an impossible dream.

And today, their mundane lifestyle of observing the ever-stagnant Hell Gate comes to an end.

Weeing! Weeing! Weeing!

"Hey, what is this…!"

An abrupt change happened in Hell Gate. Usually, when Hell Gate started to show signs of activity, it meant that all the materials and energy inside were exploding, and it was vomiting the environment and monsters contained inside towards Earth, inflicting great damage. That's why everyone on Earth was always wary of it.

However,

"It's absorbing energy from Earth?"

The current phenomenon was something which had never happened before. Instead of pouring out energy, Hell Gate had started to absorb energy from Earth. In other words, they were pulling Earth towards it!

Although the absorption rate was very small… What if the phenomenon was accelerated?

"Earth might be in great danger.'

"Greetings, Mr. Lacanthal."

As soon as we returned to Another League's hideout, I took the 38 otherworlders to meet Yekaterina. Since they were otherworlders, I was hoping to give them a new ID to settle on Earth. But, would it be that easy? After all, even changing nationality was difficult in this world.

"Seodam-nim…. You know that people are all going crazy because of those otherworlders, right?"

"Of course, I know."

"The International Association of Supernatural Powers also visited us. They said those otherworlders could be dangerous, so they want to investigate them right away."

"Can't I just do it myself?"

"That…"

Yekaterina took a rare deep breath and fiddled her long white hair with her finger. It was a habit she always did whenever she was anxious about something.

"If you want to do that, you have to be prepared to take a lot of damage. It is never good for a guild's image to surround themselves with unproven superhumans. Even more so when they are from races which are not human. Are you prepared to be bombarded by the media?"

"It's okay. Taylor will take care of the media."

"Hm?"

At my words, Taylor, who stood beside a three-meter tall ogre, cocked her head towards me for a moment before returning to what she was doing—poking the ogre's enormous muscle with her finger. She may look pretty brazen and didn't care about the media, but in fact, it could be said that she was more professional than any of us in dealing with the press.

"Hey uncle. How did you build all this muscle? It's freaking sexy!" Taylor, who admired muscles, asked the ogre.

"(…I don't know how to speak foreign languages.)"

Unfortunately, the ogre did not know how to use Earth's language at all. Fortunately though, he was an ogre variant who had an intelligence level similar to a human, so, with some tutoring he will be able to learn it.

In any case, Yekaterina couldn't help but accept all the otherworlder because I kept insisting. Then, not much later, her reluctant attitude changed into curiosity.

"This one can turn into a wolf. To be precise, he was a wolf who can transform into a human."

Although Lacanthal knew nothing of Earth's language, it was possible for him to converse with other people through magic. Therefore, he took the role of introducing Yekaterina to all of the otherworlders one by one. And as the introduction progressed, Yekaterina's eyes shone brighter and brighter.

"Can he grow trees from his hand?"

"Only a forest druid can do it. Moreover, they can also communicate with friendly animals. They can also transform."

"Oh my god…"

Countless races with countless unique abilities lived all over the world. The ones who were present here were nothing but a small fraction of them, like a small star in the whole universe. However, for Yeketerina, who had never been to another world, she was completely mesmerized. On top of it, when Lacanthal showed her his power, her jaw dropped before quickly taking Lacanthal's hand.

"Would you like to work with me?"

"…"

In Lacanthal's world, magic engineering was extremely developed. On top of that, his late wife was said to be a genius of the century who had succeeded in creating a dimensional crossing spell, so it was only natural that Yekaterina's eyes glinted with greed.

As Yekaterina left to guide the otherworlders to their lodging, Lacanthal spoke to me.

"What is the reason you want to increase your strength to the point where you even accept us? Is it for a childish dream of world domination? Well, whatever it is, I already said I will help you, so, I'll help you."

"Haha… It's not for something like that."

"Is that so? What a waste. Conquering a new world sounds fun."

This person… is he for real?

"Actually, I know your real goal. Isn't it 'Hell Gate'?"

"Yes…"

Actually, I presented the otherworlders a condition in exchange for taking them in and providing them with housing and new status. It was to ask them to fight for me for once when I asked for their help. And that one chance, I would use it in the Hell Gate expedition.

I still don't know what's going on in there. And for now, it's still lying dormant just like these past years. But my [Intuition, which had saved my ass for too many times, told me that something was going to happen soon. Until then, I have nothing to do but to prepare. But even if I prepared for it, will I be able to withstand what Hell Gate has to offer?

I don't know.

But, I am betting everything on the fact that I am a Protagonist Hunter.

"Okay… I get it. Hell Gate. That's a pretty tempting proposition. I don't know what other kids will think, though."

Because Hell Gate was a dangerous place, perhaps some would decline to help me, and some may choose to return to the Floating Dimension. I won't stop them if they want to do so though. After all, we are in a contractual relationship, not a master-slave relationship.

"Lacanthal, I don't think I can help much with what will come next. In my mind, I want to stay here and complete all the follow-up procedures, but I have to urgently dispatch to another place."

"Hmmmm…. Are you going to be dispatched to another world?"

I pondered for a moment at Lacanthal's sharp question, and then ultimately nodded my head. At this point, there's no reason to keep it under wraps anymore. At least to the otherworlders.

"Yes. I have to take care of the emergency situations in the other world first."

Fortunately, on Earth, I have many reliable comrades, so there is no problem in leaving for another world while entrusting the work on Earth to them. Though, it still pricked my conscience a little bit because it felt like I was running away after taking a job.

Hunter Yoo Seodam, we have identified the number of worlds which are running towards the epilogue.

The number of worlds which was approaching extinction every minute was rapidly increasing. Even if I couldn't save all of those worlds, if I can save just one more, I would happily go there.

"Okay, let's go."

After Yoo Seodam left, the emergency contact line of Another League rang. To Yekaterina's surprise, the one who called them was 'Hell Gate Research Center', which could be said had no connection whatsoever to any guild in the world.

"This…" As the explanation from the person on the other end of the phone went on, Yekaterina's expression, which was already tense in the first place, kept getting worse and worse. "Hell Gate… is expanding?"

-That's the case. That's why I want to talk with Guild Master Yoo Seodam who is well versed in dimensional science.

However, Yoo Seodam had left Earth. Once he did that, it was difficult to contact him. No, it was simply impossible. Yekaterina's head throbbed. The matter in hand was too big. She couldn't easily solve it like another matter. On top of it, dimensional magic wasn't something she excelled at.

At that time, Lacanthal, who came to her office for a chat, showed an interest.

"That place, Hell Gate… Did you say it is a door to another world?"

"Yes? Yes… It is known as a gate that leads to an unknown dimension."

"Hmmmm…. That's interesting." Lacanthal's eyes glimmered as he stroked his chin,

"When it comes to dimensional science, the race of dew soaking in moonlight is the best."

He looked oddly confident.

The system had told me that countless worlds were moving towards destruction at a much quicker rate than before. However, I couldn't fully understand the meaning of those words. I only knew that the change between 'episodes' in the whole storyline would be faster than before, which meant that I had to hunt the protagonists at a much quicker pace than before.

Even now, numerous 'epilogues' are occurring in many worlds.

What was waiting at the end of the epilogue was 'destruction', which Lacanthal said to be a phenomenon where everything in that world becomes 'one'.

To be honest, he didn't care much about the destruction of other worlds. However, the system's hypothesis that the destruction of other worlds could eventually affect Earth became the driving force that made him move faster.

Hell Gate was a trash can-like dimension where dimensional debris gathered. But was the debris that gathered there really nothing but 'remnants'?

Aracelli had described it as debris because it had fallen over and separated from the original dimension. But if what Lacanthal said about everything returning into 'one' was the true destruction, then there should be no debris left.

If so, what is Hell Gate made from?

After the destruction… All the materials that became to 'one' gather to form the Hell Gate.

It was still unknown whether what she said was true or not. When I first entered the Hell Gate, I was ignorant and clueless, so it was impossible for me to know about it. And now, even though I felt that I was ready to enter the Hell Gate, I still didn't have any solid information except for hearsies.

However, that changes nothing.

I just need to do what I do best.

Prepare for the hunt.

But… a thought suddenly passed on his mind.

'If I prepare like this now, what will be different?'

His current level was 175, and by the standard of superhuman on Earth, it meant that he was an S rank. It wasn't something overly incredible since there were hundreds of S rank superhumans on Earth.

Even if he reached SS rank, will he really be able to withstand the unknown power of Hell Gate?

In the first place, was becoming stronger really the correct answer?

Will he be able to run away from destruction once he becomes strong enough?

Even if he could tear down mountains, split seas, and overturn skies with just one wave of his hand, would he be able to flee from the powers of the world?

Maybe… his goal to conquer Hell Gate was a wrong choice from the beginning?

Wouldn't it have been better to just be drunk with the power I have right now, enjoy my life, and spend the last days happily looking at what I have achieved and then die, just like what the system said?

As such questions kept popping up in my mind, I slapped myself on the cheek.

'I must be crazy. Get a grip, Yoo Seodam.'

When I realized the meaning of 'destruction' itself, as a human being, I couldn't help but be afraid. But giving up here would be foolish. Afterall, I already knew for a long time that Hellgate was a dangerous place. And yet, I still make it as my end goal and work towards achieving it.

"Let's calm down and just do what I should do. System, let's go."

Yes. I will go right away.

"…so, where is the destination this time?"

Instead of answering, the system just displayed a simple and clear message in front of me.

『A High-School Student Who Got Transferred to Another World ~It Seems That My Magic is The Strongest~』

#Isekai #Cliché #Harem

#Munchkin #Genius #Love_Comedy

After looking at the hashtags for a moment, I stared blankly into the air.

"Do we really have to go there?"

Yes? Yes… the story hasn't even started yet, but it's a world where the epilogue is approaching very quickly.

"Is… That so?"

I haven't studied the 'Isekai' genre properly yet, but I know roughly that this genre contains many great dangers.

I sighed and accepted the request.

"Let's go."

We will leaving right away.

[Moving to the fantasy continent of Atsbaran. The world where level 5 protagonist 'Kaido' resides.]

[You have become an 'adventurer' of Atsbaran.]

As soon as I opened my eyes, a familiar yet unfamiliar landscape greeted me. It was a city from the middle ages era. However, contrary to the middle age cities I knew, which were usually dull, this city had a unique and vibrant atmosphere. The road was paved with many different colours and all the buildings were shiny, polished and colourful. In the blue sky above, a winged dragon could be seen gliding freely while horned monsters were pulling carriages instead of horses or oxen.

On the street, many different races as well as people, whom I presumed to be adventurers, were walking around wearing their own equipment. But strangely, all the female adventurers were wearing extremely revealing equipment and they were all stupidly beautiful. Meanwhile the male adventurers were all shaggy and ugly, and their equipment was very rustic.

"Just what… How could the fashion sense develop so disproportionately here?"

All of the women's fashion was flashy and beautiful. But the men's fashion was all ridiculously bad. It was to the point that I felt overdressed just by simply wearing my dull black ether suit.

After roughly grasping the atmosphere, I quickly tried to sense Aracelli's energy. However, I couldn't feel her energy at all. On the contrary, I felt a dimensional wave near me and dashed towards it.

Woooong-!!

In an alleyway devoid of people, the space several meters above ground starts to tore up. After a while, a naked figure with white unblemish skin and jet black hair popped out from it. I quickly moved towards her landing point in order to catch her with a piece of cloth in my hand.

"Kyaaaahh!"

Aracelli screamed and flailed violently as soon as she landed in my arms. But when she finally raised her head to look at me, her movement completely stopped. A smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank god! It seems like you are okay, Professor!"

"Of course I'm okay…"

"That's right…." She nodded her head with a somewhat meaningful expression.

I took out a teenage girl's clothes I had prepared in advance from my inventory, and gave it to Araceli. She went into one of the empty houses nearby before coming out a few minutes later fully donned in those clothes.

"Professor, are these clothes common in your world?"

"Well, it's similar. What you are wearing right now has a bit more fantasy-like design, though."

"Aha! So, are these clothes to your tastes?"

"That's… right? At least for this situation?"

Araceli then smiled, as if she somehow felt good.

"You are ready, right? Let's go."

"Okay! Are you going to hunt those who monopolize the world's blessings too here?"

"Yeah. But I haven't found him yet, though."

After leaving the alleyway street, we walked slowly while savouring the scenery.

'The level of the protagonist is still seriously low. Has he not awakened his power yet?'

If I find him now, I could easily kill him with just a slight twist on the neck. But of course, it wouldn't be that easy. This was especially true in the 'Japanese-style isekai' genre. Even if the protagonist's neck was twisted, had his heart cut into pieces, or had been forced to go through the most horrific torture, he would ultimately end up being resurrected by the power of a spirit or even a dragon and came back with even greater power.

In other words, l have to kill him using a 'story' in which he's completely dead.

"Oh, Professor… That…."

When I followed where Aracelli's finger was pointed at, I could see a black-haired boy dressed in a school uniform rather than dull pieces of equipment. For some reason, the boy's eyes had a different colour. His right eye had a normal black pupil while his left eye was dyed red. On top of him, a hashtag I was so familiar with was floating.

'Found you.'

He was Kaido, the protagonist of this world. Currently, he was walking with some adventurers while talking gleefully. We quickly trailed closely behind them. And when we finally arrived at their destination, it turned out their destination was none other than the 'Adventurer Guild' building.

[The Protagonist Kaido, has used the sub-skill 'Language Unification (S)' from the main skill 'Common Sense (SSS)'.]

Before long, a language very similar to Japanese came out of the mouths of all people in my surroundings. It was such a mystical yet bizarre phenomenon because I couldn't sense any magic flowing from him. It was similar to what I felt when Lacanthal casted a translation spell at the 4 hunters of the Association previously.

"Kaido! This is the Adventurers' Guild. Do you really want to be an adventurer?"

"Of course! If I didn't become one, I wouldn't have any money."

"But… until just recently, you couldn't even hunt a single goblin by yourself and we had to save you every time. Besides, didn't you say that you came from a place where there were no monsters? You don't know much about this place, is it okay for you to be an adventurer?"

"I can't help it. Because this is the only way to wander the world and find a way back home."

"Fufu, it's nice to see Kaido's confident appearance."

A girl, dressed in extremely exposed clothes, whom I presumed to be an assassin from the dagger on her hips, said so and slapped Kaido's back!

Wait a minute… isn't it common sense that if someone ends up in an unfamiliar world and wants to earn money right away, it would be better to go to a restaurant and do a part-time job like serving or delivery?

It doesn't seem like it was the case for a protagonist, though.

Aracelli and I took a seat on one of the empty seats and watched Kaido closely.

"You are Kaido? If you want to become an adventurer, you must take an aptitude test."

"Aptitude test?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"Yes. It is a test to check which class you would fit into as well as your parameters."

"I'll do it right away."

"Then, put your hand on this crystal ball."

Could the aptitude test really be over with one crystal ball? It seems too easy and convenient…

"Kaido, don't be depressed if your magic power is too low. If you just have around 20 or 30, it's at a level that you can go adventuring with us."

"HAHA! Yes, she is right. Though, I would prefer it if it comes out around 50!" One of the adventurers on the party said.

"Then, let's begin." The receptionist said.

Soon, Kaido placed his hand on the blue crystal ball. Moments later, the air inside the building started to swirl wildly.

[The protagonist 'Kaido' acquires the isekai cheat 'Infinite Magical Power (SSS)']

Wooonngg-!! Wooonggg-!!

Craack-!!

Shatter-!!

"Huh?!?!?!?"

"O… Oh my God!"

"Th…this is the first time the crystal ball broke since the legendary aptitude test of 'Black Dragon Mercenary King Perticas' 33 years ago!!!!"

Everyone who witnessed the scene was shocked. On top of it, the face of every woman in the building turned beet red as they fiddled like a fish out of water.

Why, though?

"Is it really that great?"

At the same time, unlike everyone around him, the protagonist spoke indifferently.

I sighed at his question. Everyone else, together with their grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin knows his power was a scam. Even the neighbor and his daughter-in-law and his whole family knows it, but it seems that it was an unspoken rule that only the protagonist would remain oblivious to his own overpowered skills.

Bump!

When a commotion broke out on the first floor, the door on the second floor suddenly blasted open with a loud thud. And before long, someone walked down the stairs towards the first floor.

"Ah… it's 'Golden White Knight' , Searen!"

"Whoa… She's still beautiful, as always."

"Why did she suddenly appear?"

The blonde woman in white armor, who I guess is called Searen, looked around the first floor and walked towards Kaido. Then as soon as she stood before him, she stroked his cheek.

"What amazing power. I've never seen anyone with such a large amount of magical power in my entire life. Hey, what's your name?"

"Yes? My name is Kaido."

"Kaido-kun was it? Let me introduce myself, my name is Searen, the Golden White Knight. To be honest, I thought I was strong… but compared to you, I am nothing. I can't even be compared to your toes."

What a load of crap… (P/N Exactly my thoughts.)

"I want to ask you something, will you join my guild?"

If this world follows the basic rule of Korean-style novels, he would reject her invitation without any second thought and make a guild himself. But because this world follows the basic rules of Japanese-style novels…

"Yes, I would love to!"

And the reason for him joining her was as simple as it could get.

It was because Searen is pretty.

Contrary to how urgent the system sounded when she briefed me, Kaido only showed the growth rate of an ordinary protagonist so far, nothing more nothing less. In the meantime, I tried to cook some story in order to kill him, but as always, nothing came to mind.

"Kaido-kun!!! Awesome!"

"Oh My God… It's only 'Fire Ball', a basic spell!! How can it be that powerful?"

"I cannot believe it."

It was obvious, but let me tell you this… The magic in this world could be easily activated by simply memorizing the casting words without studying it in depth.

I could only sigh and shake my head at how ridiculous it was. From what I know, magic doesn't differ much from world to world. For example, the most famous mathematical formula on Earth, the Pythagorean theorem, also applies in another world. The law of triangle also didn't change just because you're in another world. That was also the case for magic. The process of accumulating magical power in the body, operating it mathematically, and releasing it was a law that could never be changed. But somehow, this world managed to ignore that law.

"Aracelli. What do you think?" I asked Aracelli who was standing beside me.

As soon as Kaido decided to accept Saeren's offer, we also took the test to join her guild, 'Sword of Clarity', which was not hard at all as I had stats comparable to an SS rank while Aracelli was… Aracelli. And currently, we were acting as one of Kaido's mindless supporters whose sole role was to just chase after him and exclaim 'Wow, that's amazing, Kaido-kun!!'.

"Um, well…" Araceli, like me, exclaimed, 'Wow, that's amazing, Kaido-kun' before furrowing her eyebrows. "That's definitely magic. But magic can never work like that. It feels as if the magic formula was forcibly twisted… Ummm."

Even Aracelli, an Archmage, couldn't see through the magic of this world even after seeing how Kaido cast his spell with her own two eyes. That fact alone was enough to tell anybody that this world's magic was bizarre and ridiculous.

So, reluctantly, we decided to watch Kaido a little longer and followed him deep into the forest. His purpose of coming here was to hunt the 'Black Wolf Kazaracun', who was called the boss of this area.

It was something I realized after several instances… But this world really likes to attach a moniker before the real name of everything. I wonder if I would find a 'Silver Spoon Silver Spoon' once I return to the city later.

While those thoughts passed through my mind, I glanced around the group. There were a total of seven people in the party. Aside from myself, Aracelli and Kaido, there were 'Hardcore Fangirl', 'Overly Kind-Hearted Girl', 'Exclamatory Vending Machine' and 'Flag Man'. They were all pretty loyal to their roles, for example.

"Oh! Kaido defeated Kazaracun with only one magic cast!"

"Oh my God, to be able to use such magic…! So far, there have been only 9 wizards in history who have succeeded in controlling such a crazy amount of magic power at once and all of them have become an Archmage who made a name for themselves in history… Kaido, are you perhaps planning to become an Archmage?"

"Hey hey, is it real?"

This kind of reaction had happened about thirty times throughout this hunt. And lastly, the situation would always end with the reaction from the 'Overly Kind-Hearted Girl'.

"Ugh, I feel sorry for the wolf."

According to 'Hardcore Fangirl', she was a beautiful girl who hails from a clergy family. Though, because literally every girl in this world was beautiful, I couldn't figure out why the word 'beautiful girl' even exists in the first place.

The 'Overly Kind-Hearted Girl' ran towards the fallen wolf. Then she plopped down to the ground and casted a healing spell towards the wolf.

Wait a minute… Why did she do that? Didn't we come here to hunt it in the first place?

"Elizabeth! That's dangerous! Come back here!"

"But… How can I stay still when there is an injured creature in front of me? I want to heal this wolf…"

[E/N: So, you beat this wolf to the verge of death and now you are planning to heal it just to beat it up again or potentially put your comrades at risk???? Overly Kind-Hearted Girl? More like Overly-Stupid Girl.]

"Elizabeth….. a woman like you, seriously …."

An exasperated comment, or maybe a truly touching comment come out from the mouth of Hardcore Fangirl's mouth, it was then followed by Kaido who nodded his head with a serious expression.

"That's fine, you can heal it."

Wait a goddamn minute… then why did you hunt it earlier?

"I'm sure Kazaracun will understand your warm heart."

Eventually, the Overly Kind-hearted Girl began to cast her spell in full throttle towards Kazaracun, whom her friends had pummeled until not too long ago. And then, suddenly, knights in steel armor appeared out of nowhere and encircled our party.

"Hey! Ka- Kaido-kun!" Overly Kind-hearted Girl stuttered as she looked at Kaido with pleading eyes.

"HAHAHA! Foolish! Healing the wolf you tried to hunt! Are you crazy!?!?" The knight shouted and stepped forward with his swords pointed towards Kaido.

"I didn't like you from the moment you joined 'Sword of Clarity'. Did you think that a mongrel like you could come into our guild?"

"Ka- Kaido-kun… we have to forget her and run away!"

"That's right. Kaido, think clearly. We cannot defeat them with our own strength."

"We have no choice but to step back now!"

"…"

Except for the main protagonist, no one seems to have a sense of camaraderie or anything like that. Was this event happened because whoever controls the story flow wants to emphasize that only the protagonist had sympathy?

"No, I will not abandon her!" Kaido exclaimed as he pointed his hands towards the talking knight.

"Kah ha ha ha ha! Your magic is useless against us! Unless it's at least a C rank magic… Huh? What are you doing now?"

Crackle-!!

A spark of lightning suddenly began to erupt from Kaido's hand. At the sight, all the knights started to laugh at him.

"Kah ha ha! Even a passing dog knows that the only attack-type magic is fire element, and the only defense-type magic is earth element! What are you going to do with lightning magic?"

Without answering him, One of Kaido's eyes turned red as he smiled softly.

"Chain Lightning!"

Before long, a stream of lightning struck the knight who kept taunting and looked down on Kaido before jumping towards the other knights.

Crackle-!! Crackle-!!

"Aghhhh!"

"AGHHHHH!"

All the knights soon collapsed, only the taunting guy could barely raise his head to look at Kaido.

"Yo…you bastard… how can you do something like this with lightning magic!!!"

Then Kaido sighed and shook his head.

"You don't know? 'Steel' is weak against 'Electricity'. It's common sense in my world."

"It can't be!!!"

At that moment, the guy collapsed with an expression that seemed to have realized something after looking at his armor.

"Hey hey, is it real?"

"Wow… In his world, such great knowledge is 'common sense'… What a wonderful world…"

[The protagonist, Kaido has activates the skill 'Common Sense (SSS)']

It was only then that I could vaguely understand how this world works.

(P/N: God, please save me from this arc….)

This world, for some reason, flows according to the taste of the protagonist, Kaido. No, to be precise, the common sense of the world itself had been changed according to Kaido's level of knowledge. For example,

"Ah, this is called 'Fruit Shaved Ice'. It's a common dessert in my world."

"Woaah!! This is delicious! It's the first time I've eaten such a soft ice!"

In this world, there's ice and ice cream, but for some goddamn reason that my head can't wrap around, there's no shaved ice. Does that even make sense? There should be billions of people in this world, how come anyone not think of making shaved ice so far? It's not a complicated menu, either. You just need to shave it, for god's sake.

"If you make a backrest for the chair, everyone's back will be more comfortable." ( "Can't you just add more part on the back of the chair to make people could rest their back on it?")

"Oh My God. That's the discovery of the century! Kaido, you are amazing!"

There were all kinds of chairs crafted here in this world, but guess what? A chair with a backrest has never been invented.

"If there's a food shortage, you can just catch fish."

"Why fish?"

"To eat it of course! This one is called sushi. In our world, it is a staple food."

"WOW! Amazing! This is my first time tasting something like this! It's not even roasted, but it's such an incredible taste…"

Their reaction was more explosive than those westerners who never had raw fish before…

"Are you having trouble because you have a lot of coins? Wouldn't it be better to make additional coin denominations like 10 gold coins and 100 gold coins?"

"You are right! It's such a simple way, but it's an amazing shift in thinking! As the Princess of the Empire, I will proceed with this agenda right away."

Surprising, right? I wonder where our protagonist had such brilliant ideas from when literally every genius in this world couldn't figure that out…

"You're starving because you don't have rice? Then you can make bread and eat it."

"Oh oh!!!! What a wonderful food!!!"

At this point, Aracelli finally got fed up and spoke to me with a face full of displeasure. "Will the world stay like this forever?"

"The common sense of this world will return to normal once we kill him."

The protagonist this time around was quite unique and held a very special ability. Throughout my journey to various worlds, I could proudly say that I had met a wide spectrum of protagonists who had a cheat-like ability such as, a protagonist who created the world itself and the protagonist who could turn back time infinitely. But it was my first time meeting a protagonist who had an ability to lower the IQ of everyone around him.

What's even scarier was that his power didn't just change the common sense of the people, but also the common sense of the 'setting' of the world itself.

Does it make sense that there was a chair, but a backrest was never invented?

Lightning magic exists, and for hundreds of years, knights had always been unaffected by it even though they were always wearing steel armor. Does it make any sense?

This world culinary level was at the level where they already cook food with grains. But bread wasn't even invented?

And throughout this wide world which had many kingdoms, their currency had only one denomination?

However, all of that wasn't crazy enough to make me quake in my boots. The one who got me scared was the fact that his skill could even affect how magic was perceived in this world.

In every world, magic was a science. It was a branch of science which was needed in order to know the principles of the world. Only after understanding the principles and studying them for a long time, can someone use it. But here, it was not even a study. It was just a flashy technique to kill enemies. In other words, a skill. Which means, his skill was powerful enough to turn the reality of the world into fantasy.

The reason was probably because Kaido perceives that 'magic' was nothing but an attack skill. His skill, [Common Sense (SSS)] was such a terrifying skill that it literally blurred the line between imagination and reality.

But… was his skill really all-rounder? It was just a skill which could affect the common sense towards what the protagonist knew. But there should be a disadvantage.

And after following Kaido as his cheerleader for the past few days, I was able to discover one weakness of his skill.

"We will use 'dust explosions' in this battle."

"Dust … explosion …?"

"Yeah. With it, we can take on many enemies with a very small amount of mana."

"What is that?!"

Without explaining further, Kaido took out a white powder from his bag. It was none other than flour.

"Spread this in the air, and with just a small amount of flame, we can create a huge explosion."

"Really!?!? Is it really possible to do it with just flour and flame magic?"

"Of course."

After a while, many reaction vending machines around Kaido sang his name accompanied with praises. They would literally put those internet buzzers on Earth to shame with their words.

Not long after, the battle started. And as expected, Kaido succeeded in annihilating the enemy by simply throwing a flick of ember after scattering the flour into the air.

"Oh my god!!! I thought we would never win this battle! To think we win with just one magic and without any casualties…!"

"This is such incredible knowledge… Kaido-kun, you are really…"

Looking at the scene, Aracelli, who was standing beside me, clicked her tongue.

"It really doesn't make sense…"

"Is that so?"

From the start, there was no way that the particles of combustible solid matter could maintain a higher concentration than the air's lower explosion limit when it's such a windy day.

Even in the case of favourable weather, the flour particles should not scatter evenly. But let's say such a thing did happen. The particles would have ignited all on their own already from radiant friction of the sun without the need for a spark.

(T/N This bit is translated by J.kay, translator for 'Introduction To The Survival Theory'. Go and check his work, guys!)

"…" I don't know what it was, but I know that Aracelli meant that Kaido's dust explosion was just ridiculous. However, since Kaido sincerely believed that that method would work, such an explosion actually happened.

That was Kaido's weakness. He had common sense… but it was at best, below the average level. If I was being kind, his thoughts were too pure. And if I being frank, he's just stupid. He simply believed that his knowledge was real because it happened without thinking what made it happen.

Kaido's deceptive ability only activated when he believed his thoughts were 'real'. And thanks to his lacking knowledge, his imagination became rich, which gave him an advantage in manipulating the principles of this world.

It was not a glaring weakness, but somehow, I thought that I could use that part to kill him.

Yoo Seodam and Aracelli went on an adventure with Kaido and the others. However, when they stopped in a particular small town, they became aware that the town was currently preparing for a monster raid. Obviously, this cliché development was happening because of 'protagonist correction'.

If it was something out of the Korean genre, the protagonist would say, 'There is no benefit to gain by helping them, just ignore it and let's move to the next town.' But since this world follows the genre of the country across the sea which was famous for their kindness, the protagonist Kaido, of course, said yes when 'Overly Kind-Hearted Girl' Elizabeth said 'We need to help those in danger!'.

His kindness is indeed good. Though, it was only in the eyes of other people. Yoo Seodam and Aracelli, who were aware of the way of the world, could only felt sorry towards the residents of the town who would eventually lose their lives just to make Kaido shine even brighter even though the attack of those monsters was due to the protagonist in the first place,

"If you exclude the elderly, young children, and young children in the village, there are only 120 available troops. Even amidst those numbers, those with combat experience are only half of them. However, it is said that the number of monsters reaches 3300. It is a battle that can never be won!"

The city was located in the middle of plains… Yoo Seodam really itched to ask the one who briefed them why he didn't choose to fight the battle on the plain far away from the town rather than holing up in the city, but in the end, he decided not to.

"It's fine. I came up with a 'strategy' to win."

"Pardon? It's already hopeless, no strategy would be able to help us to win!" The man said once again.

"Is that so? According to my strategy, there is a 99% chance of winning."

After saying that, everyone in Kaido's surroundings began to stir. They were all questioning Kaido over and over again as if they were a kid. Then Kaido unfolded a map, put it on the wall, and explained the strategy by pointing it with something like a baton.

"Because there is only one way to get to town, the enemies would undoubtedly move through this way. And because we already know the enemy's movement, we can use it against them."

"Then?"

"We will 'siege' the enemy." Kaido pounded the map and smiled.

"Ha, but…we are most likely to be defeated before we can even besiege them!"

"Perhaps so, If we just go there like this." After saying that, Kaido looked around the villagers. "The soldiers of this town have limited mobility because they wear heavy armor. But what if… you take off your armor?"

At Kaido's words, one soldier took off his armor. His eyes instantly widened in surprise. "I… I see… Without the armor, I can move faster!"

"That's right. The key to this operation is speed! We take off our armor and move as quickly as possible to besiege our enemies. That is the core of this operation, the 'quick siege'. And as long as you encircle the enemies… you'll understand what will happen without me telling you, right?"

"That's right!! The besieged enemy will be defeated and annihilated!"

By the way, amongst people who were currently in the city, for some reason there was a prince from a neighboring country who became friends with Kaido, and there's also a princess who loves swords and had been living on the battlefield since childhood. As royalty, they were said to be adept at warfare, but Yoo Seodam couldn't help but facepalm and sigh at their response at Kaido's suggestion.

"What a great plan! There has never been a strategy like this in history!"

"It's a strategy I've never even read in a book…"

"Ah, we are witnessing the moment when history is being written…"

"Then let's leave immediately!" Kaido said. Voice brimming with confidence.

(T/N I know guys, you want to just punch your monitor, don't you? Trust me, I also want to do it as much as you did when I translated this chapter…)

(E/N: I had a hard time editing it because it was so fckn dumb)

(P/N Please… I'm dying of cringe…)

Soon, the operation began. At the moment when the demons and monsters were about to climb the mountain and descend to the plain, the soldiers moved quickly and began to surround them from all directions. And surprisingly, or maybe not, the 'quick siege' strategy hatched by Kaido succeeded.

The battle then began, and the 120 human troops began to overwhelm the far more physically superior demons just because they had surrounded them.

At that moment, Kaido looked down at the battlefield with a satisfied expression.

Yoo Seodam made eye contact with Aracelli and slowly opened his mouth.

"…Kaido-san. Enemy monsters are obviously physically superior to humans, aren't they?"

"Huh? That's a reasonable thing to say. But we are still able to beat them through my strategy!"

"Yes… By the way, Kaido-san, about your strategy… I have a question."

"Tell me." Kaido said. A little hint of displeasure could be found in his voice.

"The number of monsters is about 3,300. Assuming that each monster occupies an average of 1 square meter of space, and all the monsters are politely attached to each other and fill the space in a circle, with 3,300 monsters, the circumference of the circle exceeds 200m."

"So?"

"It means that 120 soldiers can barely block all 3,300 even if they stand about 1m apart…"

"Huh?" Kaido brows furrowed. The words Yoo Seodam told him was the part he hadn't thought about in detail until now. After all, why did he have to think about it when he was certain it would be a resounding success?

"That much gap between the soldiers is large enough for at least one enemy to pass through… In this case, does the word 'siege' have any meaning?"

"No, if you surround the enemy anyway…"

"Even if we disregard that gap problem, wouldn't it be difficult for our soldiers to hold on because they were fighting against monsters who are physically superior to us, humans, without wearing any armor?"

"…"

Kaido's [Common Sense (SSS)] skill, or a skill that could easily be called Reality Manipulation, was really a cheat. However, it had one major drawback. That was, if you know a lot, you wouldn't be able to use it.

Once the illusion inside Kaido's head was disturbed by feeding him the principle behind the result in detail such as 'Even if these and these things tried to become reality, it doesn't make sense scientifically or mathematically, or even logically…', it would no longer be usable.

[The effect of Kaido's skill 'Common Sense (SSS)' has weakened.]

"Aww!"

"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield turned 180 degrees. The demons and monsters easily tore the human troops which were 1m apart from each other and started to charge towards the town. Kaido's colleagues were no exception. Although they had strong powers since they were the protagonist's companions, it was simply impossible to deal with thousands of monsters at once.

"Ka… Kaido! Hey, how did this happen…!"

"Ackkkkk!"

"Sa, save me…!"

Kaido then quickly began to deny the reality which happened in front of him.

"No, no, no…. In the world I lived in, there are clearly cases where a small number of troops defeated a larger number of troops…!"

"I believe there's many examples of that. However, in every of those examples, there's many factors which made it successful, such as the extreme weather, the terrain and obstacles such as cliffs or trenches, or a surprise attack at night. But right now, we are in the middle of broad daylight, the battlefield is flat, and the weather is clear. We don't have any strategic advantage."

"Ugh…!"

The moment the human army realized that it was impossible to defeat the demons, everything was already over. Most of the troops, who jumped in believing Kaido's irresponsible strategy, were dying, and his comrades were also bleeding and screaming his name, asking for help.

"Huh! Since it's become like this… I have no choice but to step forward…!"

In the end, Kaido clenched his teeth and raised his hand which had a fire wrapped on it. Unfortunately, the protagonist hunter, Yoo Seodam, just wasn't the type of person who would just let his prey recover his strength.

After exchanging glances with Yoo Seodam, Aracelli touched Kaido's shoulder and opened her mouth.

"Kaido-san, do you know that the flame burning in your hand was the result of burning mana instead of oxygen? So…" Aracelli proceeded to explain to Kaido in depth about the basic principles behind his fire spell.

Hearing her words, Kaido's complexion turned paler and paler. And not long after, his spell disintegrated into the air. The monsters, who felt Kaido's magic, were charging at him in droves. However, even knowing that, Kaido was unable to use any magic which could turn the situation around. After all, in the tug of war between imagination and reality, his imagination was defeated.

"Oh, that can't be… I'm right… I, I, I…!"

No matter how much he shouted 'Fire Ball', not even a spark was generated. The same was true for other magic. It was because, everytime he tried to use magic, Aracelli always fed him up with the reason why 'magic was practically impossible', and it kept holding back Kaido's ankles.

'How can you create a flame when there is nothing to burn in the air?'

'Did you know how many calories you need to just generate a few volts of electricity?'

'To create that much water in the air, an enormous amount of hydrogen is required. But if the enormous amount of hydrogen was in the air in the first place, where did the oxygen go? Wouldn't it suffocate us to death?"

Because Kaido had half-baked knowledge of the modern world, the more he listened to Aracelli, the more he realized just how impossible magic was from the scientific point of view. Though, it was something which could be solved if he had any magical knowledge. But because he was completely ignorant of it, the thought 'impossible' stuck in his head, and the impossible soon became a reality.

'Why…!'

Boom, boom!!

Monsters were charging towards him. Meanwhile, the companions who were supposed to help him whenever he was on the verge of death were nowhere to be found. It seems that they have already been swept away by the monster's ruthless charge.

"Let's go. We have to save the civilians and the others." Yoo Seodam said in a cold tone. He no longer paid any attention to Kaido whose death was written in stone even if Seodam did not do anything to him.

"Ugh, ah, ah, sa, save me!!"

After that, Kaido, who had finally faced the reality in front of him, screamed. But his scream fell on deaf ears because there was no one here that was alive except for the monsters.

After Kaido's death, the world returned to normal. Which in this world's case, common sense returned to the world. The number of magicians, which used to be numerous to the point where there were always 2 – 3 magicians in an adventurer party, drastically decreased to only 1 magician per party of four. A different world full of dreams, hopes and heroic stories had also disappeared. No hopeful teenager with half-baked determination remained amongst the adventurers. Only real mercenaries who had survived the bloody battlefield were left behind. Moreover, the female adventurers were now no longer walking in stupidly exposed armors.

Aracelli was surprised when she saw the world turn upside down in an instant.

"They change the origin of the world itself. Those being called 'protagonists' are scary." Aracelli said with her eyes wide open as the world underwent a complete change in an instant.

"Those are exactly my thoughts. At some point, I even thought of quitting this job."

"Was there ever a protagonist worse than this?"

"Well… There are some. Like a protagonist who created a new world and a protagonist who could turn back time indefinitely." I answered indifferently.

But in contrast to my casual demeanor, Aracelli reacted strongly. "The 'protagonist' created a world…?"

"Huh? Yeah. To be precise, the world the protagonist had designed had become a reality."

"…" At my answer, Aracelli put her hand on her chin. "I knew that the 'world' gave all kinds of blessings for the protagonist, but it's kind of shocking that it creates a world itself for the protagonist."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Creating a world isn't a simple matter after all." Aracelli explained. "I've been thinking about it for a long time, just what is the purpose of the will of the 'world' for it to give blessings to the 'protagonist'?"

"Huh?"

"Why did the world favor them even though by doing so, it was leading itself onto the path of destruction?"

"…" I was left speechless because I had never thought about it. Since I first started hunting, I simply hunted based on the fact that 'the protagonist devours the world's blessings and leads the world to destruction'.

"For the protagonist, a world unique to them was created… Obviously the world has some will and purpose. It's just a feeling I got from traveling different worlds, but I'm pretty sure about it."

In other words, according to Aracelli's argument, the world has a reason to destroy itself…

"Well…" After thinking about it for a while, I remembered the recent events of destruction and the Hell Gate I had just learned. I spilled them all in detail in front of Araceli without hiding anything.

After hearing the whole story, Araceli let out a sigh. "There is a limit to finding out something just by hearing about it. If only I could have seen it in person…"

"Are you still a long way from Earth?"

"No." She said with strangely determined eyes. "Every time I follow Professor, I get closer and closer towards Earth. I will soon be able to reach Earth."

"Is that so……." As far as I know, it's still a long way off before Aracelli arrives on Earth. But, why did she say that? Whatever, in the first place, how could someone like me know what an archmage like her thinks?

"Anyway, thanks for the hard work again this time around. I plan to move to another world right away, will you follow me?"

"Yes? You aren't going back to Earth?"

"Not now. I want to proceed with several quests at once this time."

The mission to kill Kaido in this world ended fairly quickly, so I decided to take another mission to get stronger faster in order to safely enter Hell Gate in the near future.

My level was 180. And my goal was to reach level 200.

Back when I reached the S rank, a certain degree of 'metamorphosis' occurred in my body. The moment I reach SS rank, the same phenomenon but with a stronger effect should occur again. And it was very important to me now.

"Then… are you going to go right away?"

"Yeah. Can you follow me?"

"Of course! If we depart together at this distance, the time axis will not be twisted."

"Okay then. Let's go quickly."

After hearing Aracelli's answer, there was no reason to be in this world any longer. So, the next destination which had been chosen by the system appeared in front of me.

『Magic Genius Reincarnated As The Youngest Son of The Magician Family』

#ReincarnatedAsTheTrash #Cider #Growth #OurYoungMasterSuddenlyBecomeDifferent

"Let's go right away."

Meanwhile, on Earth. Yekaterina actively undertook several projects to help the otherworlders adapt faster to modern times. To make modern people accept their existence, it was necessary to make a strong first impression. And if they appear in such a situation and play an active part in clearing dangerous areas such as at least S class gates and dungeons, they would be able to produce a sufficiently positive image… Or that's what Yekatrina thought.

In fact, some races, such as werewolves and druids—who had no problem appearing in public—had already made their way through some dungeons and made their faces known, but there were still people who cursed and rejected them.

In the meantime, the otherworlder who was most helpful to her was Lacanthal. Even though he could not exert his own powerful power like other otherworlders due to the aftereffects he suffered from transporting to Earth from his home world, his magic engineering knowledge was second to none. On top of it, his knowledge was also helpful in the sudden 'Hell Gate' anomaly.

It didn't take long for civilians to hear that Hell Gate's energy was expanding. No matter how hard the institution tried to keep it under wraps, it was pointless. The number of people living in the research centre alone was in the hundreds, so as time passed, it was only natural that rumours began to spread around the world. Even a small child was well aware of the dangers of Hell Gate, so it is natural for everyone to be anxious.

But amidst the chaos,

"You can restrain the warping of the dimensional rift."

Lacanthal's otherworldly knowledge was a huge help!

The fact that the power of otherworlders who people of Earth rejected helped humanity spread widely, and it soon lit a positive image on the otherworlders.

"Another League's share price has risen tremendously."

Lost Day's Master, Yoo Haram murmured. He did not hide his discomfort in front of the person sitting opposite him. Because the person was someone he trusted the most.

"It's understandable since they have all the good things in the world."

Yoo Haram sighed. Just how did it happen? Yoo Seodam he knew was a hunter who could not even deal with E Rank monsters without an expensive firearm and was a dead last F rank hunter. At one point, Yoo Seodam was stricken with an incurable disease. And when Yoo Haram heard the reports that he would die sooner or later, he quickly got rid of him.

'I can't believe that guy recovered and even grew this much.'

The current Yoo Seodam was no longer someone who Lost Day could push around and that was a worrying thing.

"…Then, why not just kill him?"

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Yoo Haram rebuked the man's suggestion. Yoo Haram was a very calculative person. He had always acted for his own benefit, and never did anything that could put himself at risk.

"It is the middle of the 21st century. With superpowers as well as magic and martial arts developed, you want to kill an S rank superhuman?" On top of it, a huge tycoon like the Guild Master of the Another League?

It wasn't like the assassination of superpowers had never happen but… Yoo Haram didn't think that killing a single person was the answer he wanted in this problem.

However,

For some reason, his head was telling him to do just that.

"There are many guilds who also hated him. Despite his 17-year career as a hunter, Yoo Seodam is still growing at a frightening pace. If he gets even stronger in the future, he'll be really untouchable. We need to deal with him before that happens!"

"…So, if we decide to do it, how will we kill him?"

"Isn't there a lawless zone on Earth? Right inside the dungeon and the rift."

"…!!!"

Inside the dungeon and rift, radio waves could hardly be used. And there are some dungeons and rifts in which radio waves couldn't be used at all, so they were often isolated from the outside. In those dungeons, in recent years, more and more crimes were committed.

"We are planning to attack an SS rank dungeon soon, and we will try to bring Yoo Seodam to it. After that… it is you and your SS rank power's role."

"…" At the other person's words, Yoo Haram hardened his expression and nodded his head. The thought that he didn't want to do it had disappeared. His head was currently full of thoughts about how to kill Yoo Seodam.

There was one fact that Aracelli Rinekal overlooked. That was, even if the 'time axis' stayed normal when she was moving at the same time as Yoo Seodam, the 'space axis' would stay misaligned.

"Hey, Aracelli. You need to go serve Young Master's breakfast again today."

"Yes…" She took a deep breath as she put on her maid's robe. Then, when she was ready, she opened the door of her room. A mansion of enormous size, reminiscent of a giant castle, filled Aracelli's field of vision as soon as she went out. It was the residence of Duke Alleroden, the greatest magician on the continent as well as his family. It was said that Alleroden was an archmage who had reached the 7th circle and there were only seven such archmages in the entire continent.

And in this place, Aracelli was acting as Duke Alleroden's youngest son, Mazellion's maid.

Who is Mazellion Alleroden? He was the only one in the whole family who had no talent for magic whatsoever. He was famous for spending his days indulging himself in the embrace of women, partying and spending his family fortune.

What about his appearance? His appearance, which was fat enough to say that his body weighed about 0.2 tons, instinctively caused disgust to everyone who saw it.

However, one day, he suddenly changed. He stopped indulging himself in the comfort of women, started to accumulate fortune, never held a party anymore and started to be generous with all of subordinates, and after losing weight, his beauty began to shine!

Is that all? Of course not! Mazellion, who was well-known for not having any magical talent, suddenly awakened his 4th circle at the age of 20. He even started to take interest in the affairs of the state. It was such an amazing change that made people wonder if the current him and the past him were really the same person.

However, Aracelli knew the truth since she had experienced similar cases like this before.

The current Mazellion was not really 'the same person'.

'Is it someone reincarnated…?' She sighed and went to wake up Mazellion, the youngest master of the Alleroden family, and perhaps the 'protagonist' of this world.

"Young Master, please have your breakfast."

Aracelli had become a maid for no longer than a week, but it wasn't difficult for her to adapt. After all, she was experienced in blending with the world's customs with her quick-wit.

"Come in." She went into Mazellion's room with the other maids in tow carrying a tray of meals. Mazellion, who just woke up, brushes his bushy hair back with his fingers.

"Oh my gosh…"

"How can he be so handsome…"

Other maids blushed at the spectacle. But Aracelli only looked at him with indifference. Even if he was handsome, he couldn't rival her Professor.

"Oh, it's you Aracelli…"

"…Yes."

For another person, it might look like Mazellion was such a good person as he, as a young master, remembered the face of his maid. However, the truth was far from it. He only remembered Aracelli's face.

"It feels good to see your face in the morning. What's on the menu today?"

"Are you asking because you really do not know?"

The faces of the other maids turned pale in response to Aracelli's thorny answer, but Mazellion only laughed out loud.

"Haha, it's still fun to ask!"

As he got up from the bed, she walked over to Aracelli and asked. "I have seen your magic. As long as you become my wife, you will rise in status and will be allowed to study magic as much as you want. How about it? Won't you be mine?"

His words were soft and alluring. It was a proposal which would be accepted by anyone else. Afterall, the young master of the world's most famous magician household wants to get married, what kind of woman will refuse?

"No…." As Aracelli bowed her head, Mazellion muttered, 'Ah… Now I want you more' and smirked.

'Professor, please come sooner… Or else… Or else… I will hurt someone!' Aracelli shuddered and grimaced. Aracelli felt depressed at the thought that this journey had been quite twisted from the start.
