4 Unique Group Members

Hey, Shun here!

I've always thought that having unique friends is great since, sometimes their quirkiness usually brings joy.

A very vocal and prideful friend, I think it would be okay to have one if they're good at heart.

A very gentle but have some quirky side friend? Well, that's okay.

What about chuunis? What do I think about them?

Well, for one, I think having one inside a group is enough. If there are many of them, that's definitely gonna be a disaster!

(Shun's POV)

While walking to our school, I suddenly heard a notification sound ring inside my head. Then, after that, a transparent screen appeared right in front of me.

「You became the [Admin] of the Dimensional Group Chat…」

「You unlocked the [Admin] privileges…」

「You received a [Newbie Gift Pack]…」

「Do you want to claim your rewards?」

Of course I would like to claim it. It's free real estates my friend.

「You received 5x [Group Invite Coupons]…」

「You received 1x [Combat Training Manual](Select one to receive)…」

「You received 1x [Double Experience Potion]…」

「You received 1x [Language Comprehension Pack]…」

Oh? Aren't these rewards quite good? Wait, I'll check if there's an item description available.

After some poking and prodding at my ultra thin smartphone that has a very sleek design, I finally found the item descriptions.

✽✽[Group Invite Coupon]✽✽

Rarity: Unknown

Description:

It is an item given to the [Admin] to invite group members.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

✽✽[Combat Training Manual]✽✽

Rarity: Uncommon

Description:

You can select a manual that could help you have an idea as to how you could improve in close combat, swordsmanship, spearmanship, and etc. It gives detailed instructions that could be ingrained in the user's mind in case he wants to keep it as a permanent knowledge.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

✽✽[Double Experience Potion]✽✽

Rarity: Rare

Description:

When consumed, it grants the user double the results of his practice or training for one week. Not stackable with other items with similar effects.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

✽✽[Language Comprehension Pack]✽✽

Rarity: Rare

Description:

Allows the user to understand, speak, and write about some languages.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Without any hesitation, I used the [Language Comprehension Pack].

What? You think I wouldn't want extra benefits?

Hmm… Now I wouldn't have problems speaking in German, Chinese, and etc. I'm already proficient in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian so this is just some extra knowledge to my repertoire.

Uh… about the other items, I think I'll use them once I head back home.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

School went on as per usual, nothing really exciting about it. After our Morning Ceremony, we all headed out to our respective room and went with our usual classes.

I'm currently sitting near the window, the second row if you start counting from the back. I totally missed the chance to become a protagonist…

While I'm mulling over the most useless things, my good friend when I was in middle school, Taku, called out to me. He's the one sitting in the protagonist's seat and I think it's quite well deserved.

"Hey Shun! Do you think you could play [OSO] with us the day after tomorrow?"

He's pretty outgoing and likes to make friends despite being a gaming addict himself. He also seems to be quite popular with the girls… That's what I thought at least.

A sunny boy — outgoing, friendly, and good-looking — a complete recipe for attracting the opposite sex.

"A game? What's [OSO] supposed to mean anyway?"

"Seriously man? Are you telling me that you've never heard of [OSO]? With all the hype surrounding it, I thought everyone should know about it by now…"

It seems like Taku is quite shocked that I didn't even know what [OSO] is. Well, it's understandable since, at this day and age where almost anyone and everyone have access to the internet, you'd think that there's no way everyone doesn't know about what you know.

Well, unfortunately, that's just not how it works. If everyone have the same interests as you, that will probably be the case.

Unfortunately for Taku, I myself have been busy with all of my trainings that I've lost touch with technology for the better half of my life.

"So? What does [OSO] mean?"

"Well, it means [Only Sense Online]! It's currently the best game out there that offers you the joy of discovering multiple possibilities and realism! With how the game's core mechanics are, there's just no way you'd come across someone who'd play exactly like you!"

This time, instead of being shocked that I don't know what [OSO] is, he seems to be back to his usual self.

That aside, this seems to be quite the interesting game. If I remember correctly, Mom and Dad seems to be one of the major stock holders of the company who made it, right?

They just constantly talked about [OSO] this and [OSO] that and I never really asked them about its meaning. That's quite dumb of me.

"Hee… that seems to be an interesting enough game. Maybe I'll play it at a later date."

Of course l'll play it. I finally have a lead as to which world I'm in, after all. So a world with Virtual Reality in it, huh.

I've certainly heard of VR technology being a thing in this world I live in, but I've never really tried it out since I was too busy with my training. I've always wanted to prepare myself just in case I get thrown into some ridiculous world by the [Dimensional Group Chat].

Our day went on with Taku repeatedly telling me how amazing [OSO] is.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

After reaching our home, Miu immediately jumped into her laptop while I headed to my room. I checked my phone and chose to use some of my remaining rewards.

For the [Combat Training Manual], I took the [Archery Training Manual] . I already know how to use the sword, the spear, the dagger, and some hand to hand combat like karate so a long range attacking option is a must.

Don't get me wrong, I already know some stuff about Kyudo and Archery but I just thought that this will be a great addition since it might teach me something I don't know. I never really studied Archery that much and focused my time on the sword and other close combat weapons, after all.

Eh, now that I talked about it, I seemingly have an easier time mastering the things related to combat. I don't know but it's just like some kind of muscle memory to me.

If this is because of God creating my body for me, a previous War God no less, I am not in the least bit surprised. I mean, he's a God for God's sake.

「Activating the 5x [Group Invite Coupons]…」

「Arranging the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

「[Dimensional Group Chat] created…」

「Queen of Hell has entered the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

「Wicked Lord has entered the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

「Invincible Maple has entered the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

「Chuuni Big Sis has entered the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

「A critical hit!」

「Cat Ninja has entered the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

「Dog Hero has entered the [Dimensional Group Chat]…」

A critical? Wait, there's an extra member?

✽✽[Group Chat]✽✽

Queen of Hell: Which puny mortal dared to forcefully make me join this Group Chat!?

Queen of Hell: I, the Great Archdemon Satanichia, Queen of all Hell, will never join such a group with you lowly mortals in it!

Wicked Lord: Which mortal are you speaking of, you lowly being!

Queen of Hell: What did you just say!?

Wicked Lord: I can see with my [Tyrant's Eye], you're not a Queen of Hell!

Invincible Maple: Umm… Why are you two fighting?

Chuuni Big Sis: Oh, oh! There's a Queen of Hell and someone with a [Magic Eye] here!? As I thought, supernatural is really true!

Queen of Hell: Heh… You have a good eye. It's good that you know, mortal.

Wicked Lord: Fufu, I finally found someone who understands my eye's greatness!

Dog Hero: Are all of you bad people nanodesu!? Neko, look! There are bad people here nodesu!

Cat Ninja: Baaad~? As onee-chan, I will protect my sister nyadesu~…

Queen of Hell: A Hero and a Ninja!? Wait, how can a dog be a hero and write messages? The cat being a ninja I could understand but… writing messages?

Invincible Maple: You've seen a cat be a ninja?

Queen of Hell: They appear suddenly almost anywhere so they're like ninjas already to me…

Wicked Lord: I agree…

Chuuni Big Sis: Hey hey, are you really a dog and a cat? How can you type messages!? Are you aliens!?

Dog Hero: I'm a hero nanodesu!? Eh? I'm really a hero nanodesu!

Ninja Cat: Niiinja~? What's a ninja~?

Invincible Maple: Now that you mentioned it, why is my name here but written in English and accompanied by the word 'invincible'?

Wicked Lord: Hey, @Dog Hero and @Cat Ninja! Are you really a living and breathing cat and dog typing messages?

Dog Hero: Me, nanodesu? Inu is a dog demi-human nanodesu!

Ninja Cat: Neko is a cat demi-human~!

Queen of Hell: Heh, I'm a devil, a much higher being than you! A-Hahahaha!

Wicked Lord: Wow!

Invincible Maple: How awesome!

Dog Hero: Awesome nodesu!

Cat Ninja: Aweesomee~!

Chuuni Big Sis: Supernatural does exist! I have proof now!

Queen of Hell: Praise me, praise me more! A-Hahahaha!

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Seeing the chaos in the group chat, I was stumped on what I should do. I guess I have to use my authority here as [Admin].

Oh, wait! There's a living and breathing fantasy beastkins and devils in our [Group Chat]!? Should I exempt them, then?

Uh… Forget it. These people might complain if I did…

「Do you want to mute everyone in the [Dimensional Group Chat] for 5 minutes?」

Author's Remarks:

※ Guess who they are. Tell me your thoughts in the comment section. Some are easier to guess but I bet it's pretty hard to guess who Queen of Hell and Chuuni Big Sis is. Specially Chuuni Big Sis. She's part of a light novel series that has no anime adaptation after all.

※ Item rarities for now will be Trash, Common, Uncommon, Excellent, Rare, Super Rare, Epic, Legendary…

※ I know. Some lines are just cringe but I kept it that way. The character is like that so why should I change it?
