Main God Room

The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest ocean, covering about a third of Earth's surface area. However, there was a human figure that flew faster than the speed of sound.

This anomaly was detected by satellites orbiting above the earth's surface. At various military bases in developed countries, there were many warnings regarding mysterious objects. Unfortunately, no one responded because all of humanity had been petrified.

On the other hand, Ars didn't know his actions had caused so much commotion, the good news was that no one was going to find trouble with him.

"No way, I didn't see wrong, did I?"

He stopped accelerating because he found in the sea a speedboat speeding.

"Have any humans survived petrification? It should only be the six astronauts who escaped the petrification beam, so who are they?"

Ars felt that there was an odd situation that he didn't know about.

"[Far Sight]."

The distance between him and the speed boat was about 1000 meters. The people on the speed boat were not aware of his presence, but they were not aware that they were being stalked.

"Three guys, their ages vary, and… What are the clothes they're wearing? Are they cosplayers?!"

The reason he called them cosplayers was because their clothes were so conspicuous. The first man has blonde hair and is wearing a marine uniform from the anime [One Piece], the second man has brown hair and is wearing the Akatsuki cloak from the anime [Naruto], the third man has black hair and is wearing a military uniform.

All three men are in their 20s, and their nationalities are different. That was the information he managed to gather.

"Who are they? I don't remember them appearing in the anime [Dr. Stone]...Interesting, could they possibly be the same as me? There's no point in guessing, I'll sneak into the speed boat."

"[Light of Reflection]."

The light around Ars' body refracted, and soon he became invisible.

After entering stealth mode, he flew towards the speed boat and slowly landed.

The speedboat wasn't big, so he could hear their conversation.

"Jack, how much longer until we get to Treasure Island? It's already been five days! I'm sick of just looking at the ocean all day."

The man in navy uniform complains to the man in military uniform, who is driving the speed boat.

"Stop asking, I feel like throwing up hearing you keep asking, Alvin. Don't bother me driving." Jack glanced at Alvin with an annoyed look.

"Be patient, Alvin. Don't forget this is a Rank D Quest, no wonder it's a bit difficult for us to complete."

"Tsk, I know, Hideo."

Alvin uncorked the beer and immediately drank from the bottle.

Not far from the three of them, through a short conversation, Ars had learned their names.

A man in military uniform named Jack, a man in navy uniform named Alvin, and a man in Akatsuki uniform named Hideo.

(Quest? Rank D? Interesting, I found something amazing.) Ars thought.

"Fuah~ Drinking beer during the day is great!" Alvin said satisfied.

"Don't drink too much or you will get drunk. What if an unforeseen situation occurs?' Hideo reminded his partner.

"What unforeseen situations will occur in this stone world? There are no humans but us and the damn astronauts, you're being too vigilant, Hideo. Don't get too tense, just relax."

Ignoring his partner's warnings, Alvin continued to drink beer.

Seeing this, Hideo shook his head and wondered why he had formed a group with drunk people.

Jack, who rarely spoke, finally opened his voice.

"Leave him be, Hideo. What Alvin said had some truth to it. The Quest given to us by the Main God Room is to find the six astronauts and kill them. The difficulty of this Quest lies in finding Treasure Island, in the anime the location of the island is not specifically explained, and it is only said to be near Japanese waters."

"Captain is right, even though this Quest looks easy, Rank D is still Rank D, with our current abilities, it is not impossible to complete the Quest. Even if we appear in South Korea, the one week time limit that the Main God Room gave us should be enough."

Hideo is a careful person, he is the brain of this team, so he needs to consider many aspects.

"Hideo, I heard you saved up your points, lend me some to buy [Busoshoku Haki]."

Alvin put his hand on Hideo's shoulder, and spoke while hiccuping.

"Why should I lend you my precious points? Once this Quest is completed, my points will be enough to buy [Uchiha Bloodline]. And stay away from me, you reek of alcohol."

"Tsk, stingy."

Encouraged by Hideo, Alvin took another sip of beer and didn't care that he was getting drunk.

"Oh right, if I'm not mistaken, among the astronauts there is a very famous woman, what's her name..."

Alvin turned to Hideo.

"Lillian Weinberg, a famous American singer." Hideo replied.

'Lillian! Captain, before I kill her, may I have a taste?"

Alvin made an obscene gesture with his finger and grinned lasciviously.

"Do as you please." Jack said indifferently.

"Yeah! The captain understands me very well. You joined too, right, Hideo?"

"If you insist, there is no choice."

"What's with your tsundere behavior? It's so disgusting."

"What did you say! How dare such a bastard taunt me like that."

Alvin and Hideo fight, and Jack as the captain just watches. As long as there isn't a fight, he doesn't mind arguing.

The three of them had not been aware of the additional passengers on the speedboat and had talked about many things.

(Main God Room... If my guess is not wrong, it's a place where people are selected from Earth and carry out various Quests in the anime world. They can obtain the power of anime characters by purchasing them using points.)

Ars digested and concluded the information he had obtained.

He was not surprised by the existence of the Main God Room, he had read many such novels. Plus, he himself is a Reincarnator who will always be reincarnated every time he dies.

He doesn't consider himself special and thinks he's the only one who's different. Ars had long suspected that there were other unique individuals besides himself, like the three men before him. They were Main God Room participants.

(Wait a minute... Something doesn't add up, these guys know the plot all too well. Wasn't the human civilization on my earth destroyed by the Third World War? They don't look like survivors who survived the war...)

There were many questions in Ars's mind regarding the Main God Room, but he was worried that they wouldn't give him the answers even if he tortured them.

Based on the novels he had read, a special place like the Main Gods Room had very strict security protocols. As long as any participant leaked any information about the Main Gods Room, they would either explode, or be forcibly teleported back to the Main Gods Room.

Hence, Ars did not show himself and waited quietly.

(There is also the possibility that these people are not from the same earth as me. Parallel worlds, different timelines, and several other possibilities. Forget it, no matter what the truth is, it has nothing to do with me. I have already started a new life, there's no use thinking about my previous life.)

Not finding a definite answer, Ars no longer thought about complicated things. He's not the type to get nostalgic easily.

He decided to stay on the speed boat after all the three Main God Room participants were also heading for Treasure Island, where the astronauts set up a settlement.

Ars was in no rush and let them be his guides.
