Chapter 1
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A youngster cackled as he ravaged millions of dark creatures.
Their blood had already turned the land a blackish crimson, their dying screams echoing in the otherworldly Dimensional Arena.
But even then, the madman wasn't satisfied…
"Die, die, DIE!!! Be fuel for my growth!!"
His attack produced countless deadly sword beams, he threw spells of mass annihilation as if freebies, and summoned a malignant bloody legion to do his bidding.
The entire realm trembled, unending notifications appearing.
[+42 XP, +69 XP, +420 XP, +666 XP!]
How nice! This place was where Nex felt the most alive. He kept cackling as more enemies spawned from glowing magical portals.
- Archaic demonic vampire ancestors spreading their darkness
- Twelve-winged archangels glittering with holy light
- Apocalypse-level ancient fire-breathing Dragons
- Lost chaotic gods with a few thousand eyes
- (….)
The world-ending level entities ganged up on him, but he took them all on. After all, they couldn't even pierce his magical shield. It was a complete massacre!
He slaughtered them all, grinning with hunger in his eyes. This was exactly what he had been missing in his life. All the sacrifices up to this point had been worth it!
They all disappeared one after the others, cursing him as they perished. This only added to his enjoyment.
"Go on, curse me more! There's a reason they call me the Bloody Emperor!"
The fight finally ended, and he found himself wanting more. This game opening sure was well made, he couldn't wait to encounter all these enemies for real!
[Welcome to Blood Legacy!]
[Congratulation! Leveled Up!]
[Now Accessing the Tutorial!]
He kept slaughtering in the new map, a seashore filled with zombies and crabs. With every kill, he released some of the stress that had been building inside him for so long.
The anxiety of School, the annoyance of work, his family's nagging, the woes of getting rejected, and especially the pain of his favorite anime getting canceled!
Every click felt liberating.
He had prepared all month to play this brand new game. It was now Launch Day, and he wasn't leaving this Internet Café seat before reaching Max Level!
There was no better feeling than leveling up, ecstasy coursing through one's veins as new limits were pushed!
He wanted it all, and he was ready: skills, stats, blessings, pure power, etc.!
A lineup of Monstrous energy drinks was at his side, enough to give a horse a heart attack. He had also brought enough snacks to end hunger in Africa.
"Hehe, die little crab!"
"Don't be shellfish and hand over your XP!"
"Who's your daddy?! It is I, the crab annihilator!"
The customer next to him was already showing a worried look, calling the manager over. "Psst— I think this guy's turning mad. Should we help?" He whispered with concern.
"No, no, that's Nex Xander. He IS mad! Ah, but don't worry, he's a good guy…just NEVER get in the way of his leveling. Understood?" The manager solemnly advised.
The regulars gave a knowing smile, already calling their friends over. "Yes, he's here! Hurry up!" Nex was a Local Legendary Gamer: focused, devious and unstoppable.
The gallery watched on as he gamed.
— Click Click! Tap Tap! —
"Oh god, he's already on the Leaderboards!"
"How?! Isn't the Tutorial supposed to take 2 hours?! He cleared it in 15 minutes!!"
"Oh, he found a bug. Why do you think his character was twerking on the screen? He was looking for design flaws." A guy explained, raising his custom "Bloody Emperor" mug.
As Nex skip an entire zone, a bunch of red-named level 10 giant steel-pincer scorpions appeared in front of his level 2 character.
"Level 10?! He's so freaking doomed!"
"Pfft— Oh ye of little faith, keep watching. This ain't his first rodeo."
Nex masterfully manipulated his avatar, perfectly dodging the enemy's attacks with minimal movements. He'd kill one scorpion, level up, and his reign would start!
He could already feel his blood boil with exhilaration.
Sadly not everyone in the crowd was as hyped. In fact, a few rowdy delinquents pushed their way toward Nex's PC neighbor. Bullies?
"How dare you ask boss' sister on a date!"
"Have you seen her? Have you seen yourself?!"
"Bitch, you thought we wouldn't dare follow here, eh?! We'll hound you until you learn your damn place!"
They made a ruckus, many telling them to shut up as they stared at Nex's screen. How could anyone have such godly battle positioning?!
Just as the tension was getting higher…CRASH!!! Suddenly the front door was kicked open, a wild gunman rushing inside.
"Freeze y'all! This is a motherfucking robbery! Hand over the cash, and no one will get hurt! Hurry the fuck up and move your asses! Manager, who's the manager here?!"
Everyone fell to the ground in fright. The shrieks of panic quickly turned into quiet sobs under the black gun's muzzle, the entire shop turning silent.
— Click Click! Tap Tap! —
Even now, Nex was still gaming?! Of course, he was…
"You, what the fuck are you doing?! This is a robbery! How freaking clueless are you?!" The angry gunman aimed at the fool's head.
Nex could feel the touch of the cold touch of the metal and hear the horrified gasps of the bystanders. He didn't even bother to turn around, still gaming as he disparaged the man.
"Clueless? Clueless?! Do you know how hard it was to get so many days off from work at once for the game's launch?! Do you?!…"
"… School was even more of a pain. I swear those teachers are sadistic with the homework! I had to sneak into so many offices to get things ready!…."
"… That's not even mentioning how I had to convince my big sis to cover for me. Can't have my mom worry about me dying from intense gaming..."
"…I even missed a blind date with a cute girl to be here! Can you feel the aching of my eternally single heart?!…"
"..Now, why the hell are you bothering me? I'm just a student. Do I look wealthy to you?! How clueless are you to waste time on me! If you're here to rob, just rob, idiot!"
Nex Xander really was crazy!
— Click Click! Tap Tap! —
In the silence, the sound of the keystrokes felt deafening.
"….."
"…."
"…."
The gunman felt overwhelmed. Were students nowadays that fearless?! He would have long shat his pants in the youngster's place.
"WTF?! Whatever, no one moves! Manager, register's money, NOW!" The robber spat out.
As he collected the spoils of his plunder, he couldn't help but raise a brow. What was up with this amount?! There was next to nothing in there!
"That's it?! Where's the rest?!"
Just as he was about to rage, a calm voice resounded over the sound of clicking and tapping.
"The armored cash transport came for collection 2 hours ago. Your timing's horrendous: it's like you haven't prepared for this raid." Nex remarked.
"R-raid!?"
"Now, law enforcement will be here in 2 minutes and 47 seconds. I suggest you split before it's too late. Then again, I don't really care what happens to you." Nex bullshitted.
"?!?"
How did he know, and what the hell was wrong with kids these days?! The robber felt his stomach twist in anger as he started leaving while stomping his feet.
But he suddenly tripped on a random power cord, tumbling down, not realizing whose PC he had just powered-off…
"Goddammit!!!" (x2)
The clicking and tapping stopped for the very first time.
As the gunman was getting up, a vengeful ghost appeared behind him. A flurry of kicks landed on the poor man, beating him back to the floor.
This was only the start of the violence. What followed almost made some feel bad for the robber, almost. A few instants later, he was turned into a wailing mess.
"S-stop! Please, no more! I've learned my less— ARRGG!" The robber's shrieks echoed in the small shop.
The manager restored the power while murmuring. "Yep, never disturb his leveling. Still, poor dude. Last time there were 5 robbers to share the beatings…."
"I-is he always this violent?!"
"What? No, never! He's a law-abiding citizen…mostly."
"…."
"…."
As Nex's screen lit up again, he happily went back to his chair.
On the way, he whispered a simple "scram" to the annoying bullies. They turned livid, gulping hard as they scurried away, wishing they had been born with more legs.
Nex was ready to continue his gaming spree. This time he wouldn't let any disturbance happen!
But as he was cracking his knuckles, a huge glowing magical circle appeared right under his chair. It crackled with massive energy, bloody red glyphs shining inside. Mana?!
— ደማዊ — ንጉሠ — ነገሥት — አስጠራ —
He hurriedly ran away, only for the magic circle to follow him. "Fuck me! Give me a break!"
[Congratulations!]
[Summoned to the Apocalypse!]
"No, cancel! Stop, reject, refuse!" His complaints were utterly ignored.
He sighed as he whipped his phone out. 'Sis, scenario 37-B. I'm counting on you to take care of the family, take care! — Love you, forever handsome Nex'
What kind of face would that one insurance agent make? Who was it that said adding a transmigration clause to their family's accident policy was useless, eh?!
A second later, he disappeared from this world. The ones left behind stared at the now empty air, blinking in disbelief. What the hell had they just witnessed?!
"Did he just get Isekai-ed?!"
"How should I know?!"
Amidst the commotion, only the manager kept his cool. He was confident the youngster would return this time too. It was only that the shop would be a bit lonely for a while.
He actually chuckled lightly as he addressed a prayer to whichever god or devil had summoned him. They had interrupted Nex Xander's leveling…

Chapter 2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The nauseating stench of death welcomed Nex.
It assaulted his nose. It was as if he had been thrown in a putrid pool of decomposing corpses…perhaps he had.
He threw up, only to instantly swallow it back.
He was gagged, blindfolded, bound, naked (?!), and he could hear low chanting progressively getting louder and louder.
"Oh Bloody Emperor, grace us with your presence and cleanse this world of the filth that inhabits it!"
"We offer you these souls. We simply ask to be blessed with the honor of serving you!"
"Let us witness your unlimited power!"
He understood it all, yet there was no way this gibberish was English!…nor any earthly language!
'C'mon, Nex. No need to panic. Just treat this as a raid.' He encouraged himself.
1. Magic was real
2. This probably wasn't Earth
3. He was surrounded by cultists (?)
4. They wanted to summon a being called the Bloody Emperor
This was a horrendous case of mistaken identity! "Mmmmm!" (You have the wrong guy!) He protested, a wet, bloody hand landing on his face in response.
He could finally see!... Oh CRAP!!
His heart stopped for a second. The place was dark, rocky, altar housing, painted crimson, and messy….'severed limbs all over the place' messy!
It was almost as bad as that Hack'N Slash game he'd just been playing.
It was BAD!!!!
There were about 30 ish robe-wearing, bloodied old dudes staring at him in anticipation while holding their breaths.
A handsome Nex corpse would soon adorn the cave floor at this rate. They wanted a god, right? He would give them one!
Nex's eyes quickly regained clarity, showing incredible depth as if a deity (of gaming). He slowly frowned, glancing at the cave and the cultists with disdain.
"Mmmm!" (Seriously? You summoned me to this shithole?!)
"Mmmm!!" (Not even a welcoming party?!)
The cultists jerked in shock, looking at one another in confusion. Was this mumbling fool really their god? In any case, he seemed very displeased.
A middle-aged man came forward, quickly removing his restraints with a silver bone dagger while carefully observing him.
"My lord, why are you…."
"So handsome? That's a given!"
"Ah? I meant, why are you so…."
"So devilishly charming and charismatic?"
"T-that, no. I meant, why are you so—"
Instead of cowering, Nex showed an evil smile, whispering in the man's ear:
"Currently so weak? Was that what you meant to ask? Whose fault do you think this is? Hehe, are you worried about my future?" Nex made sure his tone reeked of arrogance.
Would anyone else than a god be so confident?! (Yes, a crazy person with an incredible poker face)
Gulp! "All hail the Bloody Emperor!" The cultist shouted as he threw himself to the ground. "What are you all waiting for?!"
The sea of cultists followed suit.
'Good, now how do I proceed? Exploit them and risk exposing my identity? Run ASAP before they figure out something is wrong?' Nex needed info about this world.
Since there was magic…
'Status!'
'System!'
'Kame-ha-me...'
While Nex tried a few things in vain, the cultists got squirmy. They awaited his next words with bated breaths….this was already a pain!
For now, the more mysterious he sounded, the better it would be.
"All of you, listen well! There—"
— BOOM! —
Burning light invaded Nex's vision.
The furthest cave wall exploded, shattering to pieces.
That's when THEY showed up…
"Brilliant Light's Hammer of Justice!"
"Go, Behem! Trash those filthy cosplayers!"
"Oh? The worms are already on the ground? Stay there and die!"
The last guy cackled as he summoned an enormous dark-hole-looking sphere in the enemy's midst! Then he jumped in the fray, dual-wielding short spears.
That's when Nex's knees gave up…
Not because of the scantily-clad priestess (?) swinging a ginormous hammer of doom as she relied on a see-through full-plate magical armor invocation for defense.
Not because of the green fluorescent gigantic elephant either. It sprayed acid out of its trunks (3), following the directives of a cloaking figure in the back.
No, it was because of that one dark sphere!
Gravity magic?!
Nex was nowhere near the sphere, and yet he felt like a drunken whale was crushing him! As for the poor cultists: F … ⎧ᴿᴵᴾ⎫ They were joining their earlier victims. (Crushed, pierced, and melting)
"How dare you!!!" Blood spikes exploded everywhere, giving the surroundings a nice swiss cheese finish as the cult leader rose.
The dual spear guy's rib cage was wide-open, revealing his barely beating heart. This guy was doomed! He would die with a grimace of anger on his…
"Reversal." A murmur came from the back.
That's when Nex realized the presence of the last party member. A shy armored girl had been hiding behind the mysterious summoner (?).
A glowing chain suddenly linked her and the dead-walking spear guy.
"ARRRGGG!" He screamed.
"Ahhh!" She screamed.
The man's body slowly started to return to its previous state. It didn't seem to be healing but rather….time magic?! Wasn't this way too high-level magic?!
But, they weren't the only badass ones…
The cultist waved his hand, all the blood of the fallen suddenly floating upward. The cave turned into a red sea, magical glimmers reflecting in the blood droplets.
This was so damn beautiful!
For an instant, Nex forgot the battle, the slaughter, and even the danger. This scene was so surreal and fantastic!
"Tch, you should have killed him first." The priestess spat out.
"You think I didn't try?!" The assassin growled.
The head cultist stepped up so powerfully that he deserved Latin Last Boss Music! His back looked so broad, and his fury unequaled. It would have been even better if he wasn't naked…
"All. Of. You. SCRAM!" He thundered.
The blood droplets turned to bloody sharp daggers, rushing toward their target. As far as Nex was concerned, this was an Apocalypse-level spell!
— SWOOSH!! —
The shy girl chanted as an Iron Shield that took half the room appeared, blocking many of the projectiles before shattering into a thousand pieces.
The elephant stepped forward, its body getting shredded by the second as it trumpeted in pain, its master shouting. "What are you waiting for, you bimbo?!"
The priestess reluctantly stepped forward, barely saving the creature's life as she used her hammer as cover.
But, even then, it was only a question of time before they fell. The cultist was just that powerful.
'No, there's something wrong.' Nex realized.
The assassin had disappeared!
But he soon revealed himself as Nex felt the man's cold spear tip on his neck. "Hehe, what do we have here? Who's the weak guy, I wonder." He playfully said.
"?!?"
"He was the only one standing earlier, and you've destroyed everything in this cave but him. How curious!" he chuckled.
The blood barrage came to a halt as the cultist slowly turned around while the three adventurers (?) were on the verge of death.
"So he is important!" The assassin exclaimed.
"Let him go, or I'll slaughter your friends…." The cultist readied a blood sphere.
"Kill them, and I'll end him. Either you surrender, or he's dead meat." The man retorted.
This was a stalemate, with each side asking for complete surrender.
It didn't take long for the "friends" to start insulting their companion. He really didn't seem to value their lives much, nor Nex's.
This was going nowhere…
Nex slowly opened his mouth, sighing. "Leave. You're dismissed. Besides, why are you even arguing when your opponent is obviously buying time…."
"?!?"
The party shuddered, their plan seen through.
As they were getting ready for one last confrontation….the cultist bowed before melting into a blood pool appearing below his feet. Just like that, he was gone.
"D-did we just survive a Cataclysm-Level Blood Cultist?!"
"Yes, but more importantly...."
That's when Nex felt the weight of the gazes on him. It was even heavier than the Gravity magic he had witnessed earlier. He opened his mouth:
"By the way, I'm just here to buy soy sauce."
"…."
"…"
