Get ready to be swept away in this one-of-a-kind crossover adventure!In the realm where these two companions were born and raised, opportunities for a prosperous livelihood were scarce. They were faced with the choice of becoming ordinary, clock-punching corporate drones or, perhaps more politely put, salaried workers. Alternatively, they could embark on the daunting journey of entrepreneurship, a challenge that required the strength of Hercules.
Ultimately, they both came to the realization that their reality was far from ideal, regardless of any attempts to beautify it or the countless medications prescribed by those so-called healers, or rather, doctors. Consequently, their only viable choice was to forge their own path. However, the only passion they shared was their love for playing video games. In fact, when their teacher inquired about their aspirations, they eagerly seized the opportunity to declare that they aspired to become professional gamers.
Their classmates burst into laughter, finding it absolutely hilarious. It seemed impossible to earn a respectable income by simply playing video games. Year after year, they endured ridicule during their compulsory education, or rather, state-approved indoctrination.
As they matured and delved into the world of E-sports, these two friends proved all their classmates wrong. Once considered worthless and destined for failure, they became the epitome of greatness. Those who witnessed their incredible skills in the competitions couldn't help but regret ever mocking them. Every team coveted their talent, as they effortlessly outshone their opponents in every match.
After successfully funding their college education through their winnings in various competitions, they started contemplating the idea of forming their own team instead of joining established companies. Although it was a daring move, they knew it would not sit well with the teams who either failed to recruit them or saw them as potential rivals.
Hiro initially had no qualms about accepting anyone who expressed interest in joining their team. However, they soon encountered a major hurdle - finding individuals who possessed the necessary qualifications and skills. It didn't take long for Hiro to realize that rival teams were deliberately recruiting individuals with the sole intention of sabotaging their chances of success in competitions. This not only resulted in missed opportunities to earn money but also led to the loss of sponsorships. It became evident that these actions were a deliberate ploy to demoralize Hiro's team and coerce them into playing for other teams.
Hector exerted immense effort to accumulate sufficient evidence in order to reveal to his friend the misdeeds of his team members. The situation was made even more challenging by the fact that one of the individuals responsible for orchestrating these blunders happened to be an exceptionally attractive and flirtatious young woman whom Hiro was romantically involved with. Once Hector exposed the wrongdoer to his friend, both of them were promptly dismissed from their positions. To make matters worse, there were even threats of reporting this information to the District Attorney, potentially leading to fraud charges. At the very least, it would result in their names being blacklisted, making it highly unlikely for them to be recruited by any reputable teams in the future.
It was astonishing how these individuals believed they could easily control the team leader and manipulate their two friends without consequences. However, the way their actions were handled delivered a powerful message to the company, making it clear that such behavior was unacceptable. After a few of these troublemakers attempted to force their way back into the team and ended up in the emergency room, while the two friends faced no repercussions, it made everyone realize that they were not just helpless nerds.
Over the course of five years, they had actively taken part in solo or duo competitions, consistently emerging victorious. Their remarkable achievements brought immense satisfaction to the sponsors, who were delighted with their results. Additionally, through endorsements and various promotional activities, they managed to accumulate a substantial amount of wealth. Despite their financial stability, finding reliable individuals to join their team was always a challenging and unpleasant task for the two friends.
Hiro believed in the power of actions to convey their message, while Hector believed that ultimately, results were what counted. As long as they performed well and put in the necessary effort, they had a chance to be part of the team. However, the moment they began to falter and showed no intention of improving, they were swiftly removed from the team, much like the speed of a space shuttle launch. Some labeled him as heartless, and others accused him of being driven by greed. Nevertheless, he couldn't care less about these opinions.
Apart from being avid video game players, these two individuals were also huge fans of anime, manga, and manhwa. Their remarkable success in gaming, along with the support of generous sponsors and numerous investments, allowed them to amass an extensive collection of games, anime DVDs, movies, and various reading materials. It was during this time that they stumbled upon a surprising revelation - a video game based on their beloved anime, Lord Marksman and the Vanadis, was in the works. Excited beyond measure, they decided to approach the company responsible for its development and inquire if their expertise as professional gamers could be of any assistance in bringing this game to life.
They transformed the game into a multiplayer experience, intertwining a captivating standalone narrative. However, what truly propelled its success was their ingenious incorporation of DLC inspired by various games and anime series. Initially, some viewed it as shameless attempts to lure players into purchasing the game or extracting more money from existing players for seemingly extravagant extras.
The game gained immense popularity and eventually made its way into the prestigious realm of E-sports. As a result, the two friends who had been there from the game's inception rose to prominence, wielding unparalleled power and resources within the virtual world. In fact, their wealth rivaled that of the mightiest kingdoms in the game. One fateful day, Hiro, known for his eccentricity, made a whimsical decision to purchase every single DLC available for the game that their team used. This meant that every member of the team now had unrestricted access to download and enjoy all those DLCs without spending a dime.
Hector seethed with anger over his excessive spending, but Hiro brushed it off with a laugh. He assured his friend that their team was earning a substantial amount of money steadily, so it wasn't a significant loss. Hiro even mentioned that he bought the DLC as a gesture of gratitude towards their team members. He also couldn't resist teasing Hector, claiming that he knew Hector would never spend money on it because he was too frugal. Hector's only defense was that he preferred investing in ventures with guaranteed returns.
"Listen, Hector, what on earth are you going to do with that money? It's not like you're getting married anytime soon. You already earn enough to indulge and have some fun. But you're such a killjoy that if it weren't for the competition, I honestly believe you'd focus solely on the business side and leave me to handle all the team issues."
Hector adjusted his glasses and glanced at his friend, "You know, I enjoy having a good time, but I prefer to save some money for a rainy day. I don't want to end up like those ex-pro gamers who resort to online begging for their next drink." Suddenly, the piercing sound of fire alarms filled the air, and without warning, the blazing ceiling of their office collapsed, tragically taking both of their lives.
As the world plunged into darkness, they found solace in the cessation of pain. Hector couldn't help but imagine the agony that roasted meat would endure, judging by Hiro's agonizing screams. The question lingered in their minds: why did this unfortunate event occur? It was a cruel twist of fate that it happened on the very day Hiro splurged on all those DLCs. They hadn't even had the opportunity to indulge in a single game, as the calamity unfolded the moment they switched on the console, ready to embark on their gaming adventure.
Hector racked his brain, desperately trying to make sense of why this had happened. His thoughts darted from the possibility of a traitor infiltrating the team, but that would mean sacrificing all the valuable equipment and money stored in the building. Perhaps it was a cunning thief, using arson as a diversion to cover their tracks. Yet, the items inside weren't valuable enough to warrant such extreme measures. As exhaustion began to take hold, Hector's last fleeting idea was that perhaps some twisted individuals had set the fire purely for their sick pleasure, reveling in the destruction and loss of life.
Alfred had once mentioned to Bruce that there are moments when chaos prevails without any logical explanation, as some people simply desire to witness the world engulfed in flames. Hector, deep down, clung to the hope that this entire ordeal was nothing more than a dreadful dream, and that he would awaken the moment he fell asleep within this nightmarish realm. Regrettably, that hope was shattered when both of them regained consciousness in an unfamiliar location, a place that seemed detached from the very essence of Earth.
Hiro glanced around, feeling a sense of disbelief. He was tempted to exclaim that they had somehow ended up in a completely different world, but the idea seemed too far-fetched. Instead, he turned to his friend and burst into laughter. "Can you believe it?" he chuckled. "Even in paradise, we're stuck wearing these awful hospital gowns. Talk about bad luck!" Hector chimed in, reminding Hiro of their unfinished gaming adventures. "And to top it off," he added, "it doesn't seem like they have any gaming consoles here. No chance to play those DLCs we bought."
"You constantly have to remind me, you jerk! It's clear that I was really excited to play all those DLCs and share the fun with you and the rest of the team. But unfortunately, we never got the chance to experience any of it together. So please, stop bringing it up. I'm already upset enough as it is."
If he was truly that distraught, why doesn't he question the identity of the person responsible for our demise? Hiro simply advised him that it would be futile, a futile endeavor, as unraveling this mystery now wouldn't miraculously bring them back to life and prevent the tragedy from occurring.
"No, this isn't some anime where we can magically rewind time and fix everything. And it's definitely not a video game where we can just reload a previous save. So, let's face reality and ask ourselves, where on earth are we? Some might argue it's heaven, but for me, a world without anime, manga, manhwa, or gaming consoles is my personal version of hell. Let's figure out what's going on here!"
As Hiro uttered those words, an inexplicable laughter of a woman filled the air, intriguing their senses. Determined to locate the source, they embarked on a relentless quest, only to realize that the voice seemed to emanate from every corner of the room. Suddenly, a figure materialized before them, adorned in snug-fitting robes, and gracefully descended onto Hector's lap.
If you were to find yourself reborn in America prior to the industrial revolution, you would undoubtedly view that era as a living nightmare. It's interesting to know. As for your concern about your beloved anime, fret not! I have taken all three versions of that series you both adore and merged them into one, allowing you to experience the anime on a grander scale than you ever imagined. Curious as to how I possess such power? Well, it's quite simple really - I am a goddess. Now, you may be wondering why I am sitting on this gentleman. Fate has a peculiar sense of humor, you see. It informed me that I am destined to marry this man, so I decided to test his character by engaging in such an unconventional act. To my surprise, he did not succumb to any perverted behavior. Quite intriguing, isn't it?
Hiro couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking when she sat down. He leaned forward, curious to ask her directly. What did she expect him to do? With a mischievous smile, she leaned back and confidently replied that she expected him to at least grope her, and at worst, fondle and play with her breasts. Hector couldn't believe what he was hearing. Such behavior would be incredibly disrespectful and, quite frankly, stupid. After all, they had never even met before, making her a complete stranger. Plus, she claimed to be a goddess, and insulting her would result in a punishment far worse than the scorching heat he had just endured. No, he wasn't willing to take that risk.
You two are exactly as I anticipated. One of you is excessively cautious, avoiding risks even if they could potentially bring about a happier outcome. On the other hand, the other person embraces risks simply for the thrill of seeing where they lead, even if there's a chance of getting hurt. It's almost amusing how these two opposing traits complement each other so well. You know, in that previous life, nobody had any expectations of your success. Everyone believed your team would crumble and be defeated by those teams with powerful corporate support. But time and time again, the two of you proved them all wrong. And that's precisely why you find yourselves here.
Hiro caught her gaze as she spoke, "You probably haven't grasped the fact that the DLC you purchased was merely a bandage on a gaping wound in that storyline. They aimed to infuse copious amounts of fresh content without investing anything in return, simply because they borrowed ideas and concepts that were already established and freely available. Desperate to keep that anime alive and their business thriving, they resorted to any means necessary."
Hector caught her gaze as she expressed her concern, "Considering how few people are purchasing those DLCs, the company might eventually decide to abandon the series altogether. They'll believe there's no more profit to be made from it. It's a tricky situation, you know? It's like being caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm sure you understand what I mean, my dear."
After uttering those words, she suddenly had a realization that there was something else she needed to clarify. "Listen, don't think for a second that we're just tossing you into that timeline without any context. It's the main storyline, and both of you are already familiar with it. You'll be reincarnated as Tigre and Roland, with Roland being reborn first since he's older. But here's the thing, because you possess all this knowledge and the abilities you would have acquired in that DLC, I'm not trying to deceive you. So, Hiro, please stop giving me that piercing stare."
Hiro expressed his lingering dissatisfaction about not being able to play with that DLC alongside his friends. However, he found solace in knowing that the valuable abilities and items would not be wasted. Just as these thoughts were uttered, a peculiar phenomenon occurred - Hiro began to fade away. Soon enough, he woke up in a completely different reality, now assuming the role of the young son of the Lord of Alsace, who was also the leader of the House of Vorn. In this new life, Hiro's utmost priority was the happiness and safety of his people, which he cherished dearly. Consequently, he dedicated countless hours to imparting ethical lessons upon Tigrevurmud, his son, ensuring that he comprehended the profound consequences of his choices.
The family's most treasured possession had always been a weapon that some believed to be cursed. This weapon was none other than the infamous black bow. Not only was it unbreakable, but it was also incredibly lightweight, allowing for swift and precise movements. In the hands of a skilled archer, it could unleash a barrage of arrows, striking multiple targets with deadly accuracy. However, there was a dark side to this bow. It had the ability to consume the very essence of a person's consciousness and perhaps even their life force. The bow had been crafted by their goddess of death and darkness, which made many in their lineage hesitant to wield it. Nevertheless, they held great reverence for this legendary weapon. Tigre's father had used the bow sparingly, just as his own father had done before him. However, Tigre was different from the rest. He possessed memories from a past life, a life where he knew exactly what was meant to happen and, even worse, how to solve their countless problems.
After witnessing this, the young noble made a firm decision to relinquish his role as the head of the family and lord of their land to his son. Initially, this news was not received with much excitement. The citizens felt as though their future was bleak, as they were now being governed by an inexperienced youngster. It was almost as if a death sentence had been pronounced upon them. However, all doubts were dispelled when the new Lord took immediate action to end the famine that had plagued the territory. He introduced unconventional farming practices that even seasoned farmers deemed insane. Yet, after the first harvest season, the undeniable results silenced all skeptics.
Gradually, the young boy began issuing instructions to others, and as they dutifully followed, the quality of life in the region skyrocketed. His prowess in archery was no surprise, considering his family's esteemed traditions, but he astounded everyone when he started engaging in regular sparring matches with a young squire who served the kingdom's ruler. With each encounter, their skills grew stronger, much to the dismay of the maid who had always harbored a crush on Tigre. She didn't hold back in expressing her discontent to the squire, repeatedly reminding him of the rough treatment her beloved endured. Eventually, the squire confronted her, questioning whether her intention was to weaken him to the point of death.
She was furious and demanded an explanation. Who did he think he was to make such a statement? He introduced himself as Roland, an old friend of Tigre, and revealed his ambition to become the leader of the Navarre Knights. He believed it was his responsibility to ensure Tigre was prepared for the challenges ahead. However, she couldn't help but laugh at his words. She found it meaningless, as their nation wasn't at war and there was nothing truly dangerous lurking in the wilds.
Roland made it clear to her that her perspective was overly idealistic, especially considering his extensive experience as a member of the Navarre Knights. As a squire, he had fought in countless battles defending the Brune borders from invaders, far more than she could possibly comprehend. "My lady, you may perceive me as a bully for challenging your friend, but whether you believe me or not, I am doing everything in my power to prepare this young Lord to protect these lands and its inhabitants. I won't apologize for fulfilling my duty. You can insult me, hurl names at me, and even utter hurtful remarks, but at the end of the day, as long as my friend remains unharmed and doesn't bear the burden of failing to safeguard the people he holds dear, I can bear any consequences. Can you?"
That's when she made up her mind to bring up a topic she knew would hit a nerve with him, something she saw as a way to make him face the consequences of his actions, a form of payback for what he had done to her crush, a little unexpected embarrassment to catch him off guard. "I suppose the only reason you can afford to waste your time like this is because we live in a relatively peaceful era, or perhaps it's because girls aren't interested in your bullying ways and you can't find a girlfriend." Even Tigre had to acknowledge that her words were a truly harsh blow to deliver.
Rowland glanced at her juvenile remark and started shaking his head, observing her grin in response. "It's abundantly clear that my romantic entanglements, or lack thereof, are none of your concern," he retorted. "You haven't made any remarks about your obvious infatuation with my young companion here, but mark my words, you should summon the courage to express your romantic intentions with that young man. Don't wait too long, or you'll surely come to regret it."
Consumed by anger, she stormed out of the place, unleashing a torrent of words to express her disdain for him, labeling him an ignorant bully who lacked any understanding. "Seriously, Tigre, I can't fathom why you agreed to that bet with the goddess. If we had both flipped coins, one of us would have ended up with nothing. Fortunately, I took the initiative and decided that your flip would determine the outcome for both of us. They say you possess the devil's luck, and it certainly paid off this time. Thanks to that, we now possess a hoard of gold coins from the game, even if we can only utilize them within the game shop."
Tigre grinned and glanced over at his buddy. "You know, no matter what, buying stuff from the game shop really saves us from the trouble and expenses of using our hard-earned money here. It's a smart way to cut down on our expenses. But hey, Rowland, are you seriously considering opening a pub? I mean, why would you want to do that? Wouldn't it just bring more problems your way?"
Rowland glanced at his companion and shared an intriguing insight: those who indulge in alcohol often reveal hidden truths that they would otherwise keep locked away. By actively listening to the diverse voices of the townsfolk, they could gather a treasure trove of scandalous rumors and concealed secrets. This valuable information could aid Rowland, his friend, and their fellow knights in swiftly and decisively dismantling criminal organizations. Additionally, Rowland mentioned that some of the knight officers occasionally yearn for a stiff drink after enduring grueling missions or apprehending exceptionally ruthless wrongdoers.
Rowland was well aware that there was one particular thing that would undoubtedly lead to complications. It was the fact that the personnel at that pub would occasionally disguise themselves as ordinary individuals, concealing their true identities as knights and squires. They would assume roles as bartenders, waiting staff, or even cleaning staff, all in an effort to remain incognito. Tigre pointed out that this scheme bore a striking resemblance to what they referred to as plain-clothed officers. Rowland couldn't help but acknowledge that this was indeed one of the reasons why he had contemplated adopting such a strategy.
Tigre, naturally, decided to inquire why Rowland felt the need to offer that final piece of advice. Rowland explained that Tigre was well aware of the girl's intense infatuation with him, and there were a number of war maidens who would eventually vie for her affections. Therefore, he believed it was only fair to give the poor girl a heads-up. "While you may be resting on your laurels, Tigre, I have been tirelessly working to avert potential tragedies. For instance, I am currently devising a plan to safeguard the king from toxic substances being added to his drinks. I have repeatedly suggested hiring food and drink tasters to prevent any attempts on his life through poisoning."
The king seemed quite displeased with your actions, to the point where he may have even considered you somewhat paranoid. However, Tigre wore a smug smile as he mentioned this. Rowland confirmed that the king did express his disapproval, but at least he convinced him to wear the ring. Hopefully, the ring will provide him with protection for years to come. It is crucial to prevent a war from erupting, especially since we are aware of two nobles who would seize the opportunity to claim the throne. I'm sure you know exactly who they are, just as well as I do.
Tigre reminisced, his head bobbing in agreement, as he recalled the countless disputes he had with Zion. "I am well acquainted with their wicked aspirations, both Duke Thenandier's and Duke Ganelon's," he acknowledged.
