I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

25-year-old Albion lived an unimpressive parasitic life of a NEET and otaku, leeching off his loving parent's allowances to enjoy watching animes, reading manga and novels at home. When faced with the cruel reality of contracting cancer through smoking, he selfishly ran away from home and sacrificed his life on a strange day of drastic changes. 'Since I'm going to die anyway, let me save another life in exchange.' Those were his thoughts before shoving a person out of harm's way and getting struck by a truck. 'If I could get a second chance, I want to live a fulfilling life and not waste it like this.' However, Albion's new life resolution was quickly challenged by a stroke of divine providence. "What? I'm not dead yet? Holy cow, I transmigrated into the body of a notorious hidden boss who controls half the world's wealth in an alternate universe after he failed his heavenly tribulation? I never have to worry about money? I can live forever? Lucky me!" Albion thought he had shot to the peak of life, but he could not be more wrong. The immortal body was too strong for a mortal soul like him to control. He can only move for 5 minutes a day! He became immobile and paralyzed for the rest of the time! The Four Horsemen of the Dark Emperor thought he was crippled and turned on him! They couldn't kill him physically due to his invincible body so they dropped him to the bottom of the ocean to drown! His body was immortal. He could not die. Thus, he lived the following life in the dark depths of the ocean before being swallowed into the stomach of a giant sea serpent! Before he could enjoy his new life, he had sunk to the lowest point of his life, literally! However, the world rapidly changed after the notorious True Immortal disappeared for two years! The Apocalypse arrived, and so too, the System! Ding! [You have slain a Lv.1 ancient sea serpent. 100 EXP has been gained.] [You have leveled up.] [You have become a Lv.2 Hunter.] [Title acquired: Hunter.] Albion: ??? "Did the sea serpent get food poisoning and died from eating me or something?" Albion wondered in the pit of the sea serpent's stomach. [System calibration complete. Goldfinger has been activated.] "Never mind, my time has come! With the system in hand, I will take back everything and rule the w--wait, what? This body's cultivation needs to be sealed in order for me to move freely without impairments?" "Sigh, forget it, ruling the world is too hard. I'm a wanted man anyway. Let's just hide somewhere, watch my animes, and reading my manga and novels..." Albion was nerfed harder than the Big Bang at the beginning of time. However, what's his, will still be his. "Until my soul becomes strong enough to fully wield this power, I'll just treat it as a 5-minute Super Saiyan mode I can enjoy once a day..." He was not the Dark Emperor, but the Dark Emperor was now him. The Four Horsemen that turned on him, their day of retribution will come! Little did Albion know, the world had more things in store for him than his quest for vengeance. The dimensional rifts that appeared everywhere and the interdimensional creatures that spilled forth from there are actually...!

Shortly after, BIC News was back online.

[Hey, everyone. It is me, Allison High, from Bic News again. I apologize for the sudden break without notice. My team and I will now be approaching the light beam. I think everyone is curious as well as I what this light beam is, and whether it is dangerous or not. Well, we are about to find out! Please be patient with me!]

While many people were jumping between media channels for a more exciting newsfeed of the situation, there were still many loyal viewers of BIC News that stayed behind patiently.

Allison was a small-time intern news reporter, but thanks to her beautiful looks, she was also able to gather quite some followers and fans on her social media.

[Ah, Allie, I love you! Where did you go?]

[Nooo! Don't do it, Allie! It is too dangerous! It is not worth the risk!]

[Guys, look! Allie's eyes are swollen red! Someone must have bullied our cute little news reporter!]

[No wonder she is taking such a risk! It must be someone high up! C'mon, brothers and sisters! Let us boycott BIC News and get justice for Allie!]

[@Liam Peterson, come clean! Was it you?!]

[@Liam Peterson, it was you, wasn't it?!]

Liam Peterson was the name of the Editor-in-Chief of BIC News. It was unknown when, but someone leaked information about the details.

[Guys, I just got some insider news. It was the Editor-in-Chief that called Allie and forced her to undertake such a dangerous endeavor! If she does not do well, he will fire her!]

Boom!

The forums on BIC News immediately exploded.

[F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! What kind of unreasonable demand is that?! Everyone, let us boycott BIC News together! This is undoubtedly a black company! I feel bad for the people that must work there!]

[#BoycottBICNEws!]

[Why must one person spoil the goods for others? We are looking at this wrong, everyone! #BoycottLiamPeterson.]

[Ah, that is true! #BoycottLiamPeterson!]

[Liam Peterson! Are you an animal?! How can you be so mean to our beautiful Allie!]

[Liam Peterson, come outside! I swear I will not beat you!]

Liam Peterson was flamed hard on all social forums, and even his personal social media was under fire from angry fans and followers.

His phone buzzed crazily and stunned him.

'What the f*ck! Don't you people have more important things to be concerned about?! Who the heck leaked the news?!'

Simultaneously, the person who leaked the inside news did not expect things to blow up so crazily. He just wanted to get some justice for Allison High, but at this rate, she might lose her job because of him!

The reputation of BIC News was severely affected!

Everyone was on edge due to the unknown and needed a place to vent their uneasiness away! BIC News just happened to be the victim!

At the same time, Allison was unaware of the chaos on social media. She was a news reporter and not a live streamer. She could not see the comments.

[Everyone, I will be touching light now!]

[Noo, don't do it!]

[Do it, do it, do it! Touch it!]

Her voice sounded a little shaky amidst the viewers' cries. There were also a few who did not care and simply urged her on.

The helicopter flew beside the light beam, and Allison reached out to touch the light with hidden dread and anxiety in her heart.

She was surprised at the next moment.

The expected pain did not come. On the contrary, a warm and pleasant feeling lingered in her hand.

[The light is harmless, everyone! This light feels very lovely and warm. I feel alive and invigorated! This is not an alien attack! It is heaven's blessing!]

[Ah? I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. I feel like Allie just became more beautiful.]

[Eh? That is strange. I feel the same way.]

The news made their way around the world, and everyone tuned in on BIC News. Their viewership rating shot up explosively and reached a new height, breaking all previous records since their foundation.

The world was watching closely.

The helicopter journalisms from other news companies were also not slow to react. Seeing the change in the situation, they immediately ordered their pilots to fly over to touch the light.

All sorts of wondrous effects took place. Women became more beautiful, and men became more handsome. Their skin was fairer, and their face was younger. Not only that, they felt healthier, physically.

Rumble!

It was not long before the rumbling noises of heavy vehicles and the droning noises of aircraft were heard as the NDF arrived at the scene.

"Everyone is to evacuate from this area! I repeat, everyone is to evacuate from this area! This area is now a military-restricted zone! Failing to comply will be met with severe punishments!"

"Aw, shucks! I also want to touch the light! I also want to become handsome!"

"Quit it! The NDF is here! You better leave unless you don't want your life anymore!"

A lot of people grumbled as they were forced to leave. Even the entire residents of the Empire Building were forced to leave their workplace. Naturally, the helicopter journalism crews were also forced to leave.

There were no exceptions!

Within half an hour, the entire block surrounding Empire Building was cleared of citizens. The soldiers were unloaded from the transport trucks, and barricades were set up to seal off the area.

Another team of soldiers in full uniform equipped themselves with gas masks and rushed into the Empire Building.

"What's the current situation?"

"Unknown radiation is slowly spreading from the epicenter where the light beam is. Also, just a moment ago, there was a sudden huge spike in the energy readings for the light beam, General."

The General furrowed his brows looked up at the Empire Building.

"Get me a gas mask. I am going up there too. You, you come with me too. Get me on the phone with the Minster of Defense. Until we know what we are dealing with, I need authority to mobilize every man and every resource available to control the spread of radiation."

"Yes, General!"

The soldier complied, no questions asked.

"General, your mask."

"Let us go up."

"General! We have a situation up top!"

Another soldier ran over. The General glanced and frowned.

"Report!"

"Yes, General. The men sent up to investigate the source has reported sightings of two humans exiting the light beam?"

"Humans? Not aliens?"

"Alien humans, perhaps Generals."

The soldier did not know how else to respond. He had not seen the situation at the top for himself.

Meanwhile, at the top of the Empire Building.

"Stop! Identify yourselves! Who are you, and where did you from?! I said, stop! Did you not hear me?!" A soldier barked.

"…I don't think they understand us, Sir." Another soldier said with doubt.

"Thank you for the friendly input, Private Obvious!"

What else could the soldier say to the sergeant? He stepped back and kept his silence.

Thirty soldiers surrounded the two humans and aimed their assault rifles with caution as they awaited additional instructions and orders from their superiors in command.
