At first, he also put in his efforts. He had thought that he need to prepare for whatever he could since he didn't know when humanity would come back.

"Vale Tudo and spearmanship are still sloppy. Actually, it's better for me!"
[Such a strange human....!]

Even while receiving Lita's strange gaze, Yu IlHan immersed himself again in training. Lita provided all 3 meals for him anyway so he only needed to think about the martial arts that he needed to learn.

And like that, 5 years and 10 years passed. It was the moment after 20 years had passed since he was left out.

Now, his punches and kicks flowed with fighting spirit that can even kill a bear, much less a human, and the wooden spear he extended powerfully not only pierced the sandbag, but it ripped it apart. Yu IlHan himself thought that he had no talent in regards to martial arts, but growing up like this in just 15 years was amazing. Of course, it was also because Lita, who was a great fighting partner, was there for him.

"I'm turning 40 soon. How is it? Do I look more mature?"
[The only thing you did was punching and stabbing with the spear. Do you think you earned anything other than enlightenment in martial arts? Did you see anyone acting their age after coming out from training in the mountains?]
"You think so too? My mom won't tell me I'm pretending to be mature, right?"
[Don't worry about it and keep training.]

From this point, Lita, who came once a week, came once in 3 days. It was because she was worried that Yu IlHan might go crazy after being alone in the huge prison known as Earth for no less than 20 years.

Whether it was due to her worry and interest or due to his innate personality, Yu IlHan endured well.
He endured for 20, 30 years.

[Just how much did it deviate!]

While looking at such Yu IlHan, it was now Lita who was nervous to the point of shouting. However, Lita's position wasn't actually that high so she wasn't in a position to ask God directly, and she didn't have the rights to reverse the time axis so she could only restlessly watch Yu IlHan training his body quietly, day by day.

"Lita."

One day, Yu IlHan said with a lowered voice.

"I can't remember my mom's face."
[...I'm sorry.]
"Even when I look at the picture, it feels unfamiliar. Was this person really my family? Wasn't I living here alone in the first place? Everything was my delusion and it is a lie that Lita made in order to console me..."
[Don't say such things!]
"Yeah, it was a joke. It might be good if it was actually like that though."

He sighed and took back the spear. It was the time after 50 years of being left behind.

"I'm fed up. I want to do something else."
[I'm sorry to say this now but... It's not known when the Great Cataclysm will occur. You cannot neglect your martial arts.]
"I know."

Now that they had shared several tens of years together, racial matters such as being an angel or being a human didn't really matter. The important thing to Yu IlHan was a person to look after him and a person who would listen to him. And Lita took that place so he followed Lita. That was enough.

Yu IlHan was also the only human that Lita came into contact with for several tens of years, so she became to harbor feelings of more than just pity and compassion for the human known as Yu IlHan. Of course, she didn't say that out loud.

The two's strange relationship which occurred due to God's error, was progressing in a truly marvelous direction.

"I'll read some books."
[That's a good idea.]

Martial arts would become important after the Great Cataclysm occurs, but reading helps widening one's reasoning and building the foundation for one's actions. It would help, not harm.

Yu IlHan, who acted too fast that it may seem excessive after setting his mind on something, he shut himself inside the college library straight away. As he promised with Lita, he trained Vale Tudo and spearmanship for 3 hours a day, but he invested the rest of the time solely on reading.

Even the most well preserved books would change colors after several tens of years passed, but 'thanks' to the 'stopped time', objects didn't get affected by time. It was a good thing for Yu IlHan.

His preferences leaned towards contemporary novels, but he got fed up after reading those for about 5 years and he moved onto others. While thinking that his ordinary college life might continue after the Great Cataclysm occurs, he first studied books related to his major which was business management, and when he was also about to get fed up with it, he considered plural majors and read psychology or other humanities-related books.

Unlike martial arts where the progress becomes less noticeable after a certain point, reading piled up knowledge. Yu IlHan, who was now hooked to reading, spread his interests to other books inside the library. Common knowledge, history, geography, classics, physics, chemistry, art – he read every single books existing in the library.

After a few years passed, the books inside the libraries were insufficient. There was no one guarding bookstores anyway, so Yu IlHan started conquering the bookstores within his walking range in search for books that weren't in the library.

However, even this had a limit. On his 67th year of being left behind (Of course, Yu Ilhan no longer counted time), he made a big decision.

"Let's learn another language."
[Then let's just change locations. I can deliver your meals wherever it is.]
"Where is that food coming from?"
[Secret.]

While pondering whether to cross the seas or not, he moved locations to China, the closest country. While driving any car to drive until he was out of fuel, when he found a working petrol station, he would refuel, and if not, he would just change cars.
License? There was only Yu IlHan in this world so it was okay as long as the car he drove didn't fall off a cliff or exploded in a crash.

Even while moving, he studied Chinese in his spare time. The language studies made him sick after studying even a little became doable due to reading books for tens of years.

And the China he arrived at somehow was too wide. And there were of course, a lot of text to be read.

"Maybe it's a mistake to set China as the first stop."

Yu IlHan screamed in joy at the fact that there were so much new knowledge. Humanity will definitely come back before I get to know all the knowledge of China – at that fact, he even felt sorry for that.

However, that was his mistake. Even after adventuring all of the wide lands of China, and studying every book in China, humanity still didn't come back. Yu IlHan no longer asked Lita how much time passed and Lita also didn't speak of it.
He calmly moved to another country. It was because he felt that he might go crazy if he didn't get new stimulation, no matter what it was.

Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Mongolia... After learning every language on Asia, he read all the books, records and even internet logs of all those countries. As if he would die if he didn't read something, he read and read again.
Once, he forgot the iron rule of training martial arts for 3 hours a day and was close to getting beaten up by Lita.

[Are you really alright?]
"It's alright. Anyway."

He raised his head. The last page of the last book of the 7.5 million books inside the Russian academy of sciences was revealing itself.
Even though it was 7.5 million books, there were many books that also existed in other libraries, and to Yu IlHan, who could now read any book in a short time regardless of thickness due to reading repeatedly for countless years, it wasn't that hard of a task.

"As expected, I can't understand technical books even after reading them."

Yu IlHan saw through the limits of this brain. It seemed that he wasn't a person who was fit for sciences. He only read because there was text, and just reading the book didn't make him a professional in that area.

"Now let's go to Europe."
[You're speaking in Russian right now, you know?]
"Hyvää!"
[Okay, we can go to Finland.]

When he toured Europe, middle east, and even Africa, his vocabulary became rich.
It was the 216th year after he was left behind.

"Now there's just Oceania and America left!"

Yu IlHan cheered like a middle schooler who just checked that there was little summer homework left. At his unchanging tension even though he had lived for over 200 years, Lita made a bitter smile and asked back.

[You do know that you have to go by boat, right?]
"It's alright. There are many boats without owners in this world!"
[That's called stealing.]

The power of time was truly amazing. It had made a clueless college student into an all-powerful adventurer. Of course, there was no need to say twice since one human was given more time than a human lifespan, but Kiervin kept moving without rest as if he would die the moment he stopped.

Using all the knowledge of Geography, he set the sailing distance to the minimum, and he looked for a boat which could hold out for that distance. In the countless books he read until now, there were many specialized books related to ships, so there wasn't any difficulty finding a sturdy and a fueled boat, and driving it.

"Lita, humanity didn't die out by any chance, right?"
[I said there was a deviation in the time axis. I was a fool for thinking it's just twice or three times. It seems that it's at least 10 times.]
"How exciting."

After he finished preparing for the voyage, Kiervin left the land he was on without hesitation. As long as Oceania and America waited for him, there was no time for leisure.

And tens of years passed again.

"I finiiiiiiiiiiiiished!"
[Such a nasty guy.]

While looking at Kiervin who was shouting and rolling around on top of the table inside Boston Public Library, known for being one of the biggest in America, Lita muttered with a
fed up voice.
Kiervin finally had conquered all the available books revealed to humanity. Even though she had watched the whole process with her own eyes, it was an unbelievable achievement.

After he left the library, sat down on a bench on the street and looked at the sky blankly for a while, Kiervin muttered while tilting his head.

"What do I do now?"
[Martial Arts?]
"I've done that until now too."

He didn't only read books while touring around the world. He went to various ruins which remained in some parts of the world, he found traces of martial arts and he kept revising various shortcomings in Vale Tudo and spearmanship. Training was 3 hours at the minimum and sometimes it would go over 8 hours, and 12 hours.

His fighting arts and weapon arts, which transformed to the point that he couldn't find the original style, was developed into a practical and high level technique to the point that Lita would have a hard time fighting him without mana.
This was something that was unachievable by someone who didn't have talent even if that person was given countless years. Lita of course didn't tell this to Kiervin. Since he would get ahead of himself when she did!

"Lita, other than martial arts or knowledge, is there something that might help after the Great Cataclysm occurs?"

The question that flew towards Lita, who was thinking about Kiervin's talent, was this. When she heard this, Lita could feel goosebumps.

[You...]

His question proved one thing.

Kiervin, who experienced more things than a human could experience in one lifetime, still didn't lose hope despite the time that had passed.

To him, his life wasn't over. No, perhaps he might be thinking that it didn't start until now. All the things he did until now maybe just in preparation for the life after the Great Cataclysm.

It was a long time even for Lita, who was an angel, but a human who wouldn't live past 100 on average was treating the past years as prior preparation. Of course, he himself didn't know exactly how much time had passed, but that didn't make Lita any less surprised.

[You, how can you be like that?]

As she was dumbfounded, Lita spat out the question she held back until now.
If Kiervin tried to boast for a bit, he might have answered with a fancier answer, but he, who lived while looking for new knowledge and experienced without being in contact with another human for countless years, only had candidness and honesty left. It might be considered that he regressed back into a child.

"You said I need to do it, so I do it. I can't practice mana so I need to do other things."
[...]

With Kiervin, who sighed while replying, in front of her, Lita lost her words to speak. The countless emotions and impulses mixed with each other and blew up to the point of bursting and bleached her mind pitch white.
Soon, she didn't know what expression to make and turned her head and spread her wings.

[I'm going!]
"Tell me what to do before leaving!"
[Think about it yourself from now!]

Lita disappeared from the place, and kiervin was dumbfounded. After cool-headedly judging the situation, he muttered again while sighing.

"Let's first go back home."

This was a historic moment where an angel harbored more than just good intentions towards a human. And obviously, Kiervin didn't notice that.

Kiervin didn't know, but this was the 274th year after being left behind.
Humanity didn't return yet.

At first, he also put in his efforts. He had thought that he need to prepare for whatever he could since he didn't know when humanity would come back.

The Rangers rushed to the roof of Whiskey Hotel to light flares as otherwise it would mean the flattening of D.C.
Pushing through the russians and arriving at the roof and lighting their flares, waving them to get the attention of the incoming Jets. Finally the pilots took notice and waved off as the Rangers were finally victorious. Finally being able to clear the White house from any Russian forces still left. After eliminating all enemy forces the Rangers decided to look around but still be aware of their surroundings, Entering a library they looked around to see any interesting books to read as the EMP made all electronics unusable. One Ranger in particular Cpl Dunn found a interesting book to read as he was temporary done fighting, "We'll never was one for reading books but this one look pretty interesting." 
Reading the title of the book made him curious of the contents that lied in it. So he started reading a book about four heros, The Sword,Bow,Spear and lastly the shield but Dun didn't think the shield could be a great weapon.
"Hey Dun, What you reading there" Said a another Ranger with dark skin "Nothing much Sarge just a book about some heroes who get summoned to some other world to save the planet." he said as he turned to the next page 
"I hate the Princess she's such a bitch."
 "Well Dun what can you tell us from the book we wanna hear about the interesting adventure you've been having in your head." The other Rangers laughed "Well it's about four heroes the sword, Bow, Spear and Shield as they get sent into another world, where they are given their weapons as they go on their adventure they meet a princess she turns out to be a bitch but hardly anyone notices it though there are still pages left from the book but their empty even though it already went through all the heroes." 
Confused to why they would leave blank pages in a book "Might be a publishing error or something so wh..." Foley was cut off by the bright shine coming from the book. "Yo what kind of fucking book shines that bright is that some kind of new bible or some shit." One of the Rangers said surprised. "I have no idea what the hell is causing the huge light." Dropping the book all of the Rangers slowly fell unconscious.

Naofumis POV

Naofumi was just going along his day by heading to a library to look for a good Novel to read as he was browsing a book fell on him "Ow... that hurt" rubbing his head he looks at the book "The Weapons of the four saints." Reading the book he had gotten very interested in the book. Suddenly arriving at the Shield hero's chapter, he was surprised to see it was blank. Suddenly he starts to slowly pass out.
______________________________________________

"Ow" Naofumi said as he slammed unto the floor and woke up, Confused to where he was he looked around and then noticed the shield 'What the hell' trying to pry it off but nothing happened. Looking at the others around him "We did it we summoned the Saints but who are the others nevermind o great heros please save our world." Suddenly the other heros spoke "Why should we help you after taking us from our world." "Are you going to reward us for our efforts" "What your answer is might turn us into your enemies." 'Wow they've already demanded respect and rewards' 
"Please you can negotiate with the king he will reward you all handsomely."
A brief moment of silence passed through the air as another voice spoke "First of all where the fuck are we and why are there some weird rove wearing fuckers surrounding us." "Dun shut the hell up and let me take care of everything." Foley spoke standing behind him were his other Rangers in total being 10 counting him 11. The 4 cardinal heros were surprised to see soldiers from their era with them. "Alright now that you're all silences I can speak, now its not good that you're already trying to negotiate with something you don't know anything about as well as a great way to make people mad at you." Foley said in a stern voice "but they summoned us from our world to fight for them without our consent." the bow hero spoke "Colonel take it away."
 foley spoke giving a chance for the colonel to speak. "You are right they took you without your proper consent so it is part of your problem but even though they did you're here now, Its best to not start making enemies early on son or else were all gonna be in trouble." Colonel Marshal said.
 "I guess your right." "Now please lead us to your king."
 'Wow now we have soldiers of our era on our side this is not what I expected.' Surprised to all that happened in a matter of seconds. 
______________________________________________
Climbing up the stairs the Bow hero spoke "Wow so we really are in another world." "Yea, we really are." the spear hero responded. "Wow it feels like one of those commercials for vacations" all the other heros looked at him "You've never been out of Japan" The bow hero said "This place has standard Mediterranean climate." the sword hero said.
Naofumi felt a bit embarrassed "Yea, yea sorry for my lack of knowledge and vocabulary." 
"Well people lets get a move on not much time if these people are in danger." Foley reminding them.

Arriving at the kings throne the king spoke "So you are the 4 Cardinal heros as well as your other companion, I am the King of Melromarc Aultcray Melromarc XXXII." The U.S. Rangers weren't amused as they looked at the king they know how kings can be, Cruel and unjust in a single second he can kill you because he can or you insult him. Who could blame them they were Americans they know the Dictatorship of Kings and Queens but they stood silent to listen. "Heros name yourselfs."
"I am Amaki Ren, Sixteen years old, High Schooler."
"I am Kitamura Motoyashu, Twenty one years old and a College student."
"Guess I'm next Kawasami Itsuki, Seventeen Years old and a High Schooler."
"I am Naofumi Iwatani, Twenty and in College."
"Alright we're next I am Colonel Marshal U.S. Rangers."
"Sgt Foley and Sgt Hirsh." "Cpl Dun and Cpl Hirsh." "Pvts Ramirez, Sandler, Blumel,Handler,Volker and Wade."

"Now then My country and all of the world are in danger of being destroyed."

Waves which come and if they aren't stopped they will destroy the world. Which is what the 4 Cardinal heros are for to thwart them as well as hour glasses that every country has in order to tell when the wave is coming. The 1st wave came before we were summoned the knights and Merchants fought it off but not without taking Major casualties. Which then the wave get harder as the more you progress through the wave of calamity. "We underestimated the destruction and strength of the wave, we realized that the only ones who can stop them are you the Cardinal Heros."
"You don't expect us to work for free do you." Ren spoke "No of course not once the waves are done with we will reward you handsomely." 

"Now check your statuses."
"Um what?"Naoufumi was Confused 
"Come on guys it should've been the first thing you see on the corner of your vision."
"Oh... yea, I see it" Naofumi said
"Now focus on it"
His status opened to reveal their levels, only to be lvl 1.
"Well guys we're heroes but not the 4 classes, were gunners." Pvt Ramirez said
"Ugh first we fight a war and now we have to deal with this come on I wanted to retire after all that." Dun said tiredly.
"So what is all this?." Naofumi asked
"This is status Magic in order to lvl up you have to set of on an adventure to upgrade your weapons."
"My shield isn't even considered a weapon."
"I guess we should all form a party."
"You will all have to recruit and travel separately" the old man said.
"Why is that " Itsuki said with curiosity.
"It is said that the weapons repel themselves by nature if you work together it hinders their ability to develop."
"So it is true" Naofumi said looking at the message in front the message appears in front of all 4 heros except the Rangers.
"Uh does this go for us because I don't see any damn message." Dun asked in curiosity.
"I'm guessing no since we might be some kind of exception hero or something." said Sandler.
"The sun is about to set so you heros should get some rest, We shall gather the best heros for you tomorrow."
A woman came forward and spoke "Please follow me to your room." 
______________________________________________

"Wow so this is how it feels to be treated as a legendary hero, that woman who led us was also hot." Motoyashu said in great happiness

"Wow isn't this like a game or something" Naofumi said.
"You mean it is a game an Online game." Motoyashu said
"What are you talking about its a Console game"
"You're wrong, it's a VRMMO."
"Alright well we have to start somewhere." Motoyashu said
"Who was the guy in the thousand Yen bill 1.. 2.."
4 different responses came out and now they  had to talk about their worlds respective history.
"Guess we're not just from different era Japan's but whole entire alternative Universe Japans." Naofumi said.
"What about you guys" Motyashu said a bit curious about their world. 
Foley looked at them and spoke "Not a pretty one if you're asking, We were fighting a war on American soil defending against the russians but that's all I'm gonna say nothing to surprising other than a war on the shores of America."
The 4 were surprised to hear that the Rangers were fighting a war before they arrived, they expected off duty soldiers or reserve but not in current combat or large scale as that one.
"Did you guys have anything familiar to a game or something like this."
Cpl Dun spoke up "No not really we found it in a book and this is where it led us."
"I guess y'all know just as little as me." 
"Yea that's right but we'll be damned before we go without a fight, Hoah." Cpl Dun chanted in pride. "Well we thought it was because you were the shield hero because you're useless in Combat." Motoyashu said "No y'all have to be kidding me what about your worlds?" Itsuki shook his head and Ren spoke "Sorry man." 
"NOOOOOOO!!!" laying there sadly on the couch.
Sgt Foley spoke "Come on kid there's a purpose for a shield if it exists as does everything now get up."
Thinking about that brought his pride up a bit "Well it doesn't matter because I'll deal with anything that comes in my way." Fooley smiled "Now that's the spirit now we should all get some sleep for tomorrow so we can be ready for whatever awaits us tomorrow."
Everyone agreed and went to sleep for the next day.

MW2 and Rising of The Shield Hero Crossover

*Please read Author's Thoughts after this chapter*

"Yawn..."

Karma yawned in exhaustion. He didn't really get that much sleep after what happened yesterday.

"What's wrong? Didn't get enough sleep?" a voice said from beside him. It was Jizu.

"Yeah...yawn...," Karma replied.

"Were you watching those mystery films you loved so much again?" Jizu said with a smirk.

"No... Yawn... A lot of things happened yesterday." Karma said.

"From just getting a textbook? Jizu asked in confusion.

"I'll fill you on it later," Karma replied.

The walk to school was normal. Karma looked around to see if he could find Shirohana, but she wasn't anywhere among the students.

After they changed into their indoor shoes, Karma and Jizu headed to their classroom. As they turned the corner, they heard a loud crash. Startled, they tried to find the source. It came from classroom 1-A. What Karma saw shocked him to the core.

Shirohana was being beaten by three girls with nasty smirks on their faces. They were laughing at Shirohana when she barfed from being kicked around. No one helped her. They just stood there, watching a fellow classmate get beaten.

Stop!" Karma shouted. Everyone turned to the door. "Stop hurting her! What is wrong with you?!"

He rushed over to Shirohana.

"Are you alright?" Karma asked with worry.

"Y-Yes..." Shirohana mumbled through her pain.

Karma turned to the girls.

"What is wrong with you people?" Karma said. "You think picking on the weak is fun? You three are fucked up to the core."

"Wha-!" one of the girls said, taken back. "Who do you think you are? You think you can get away with insulting us like that?" She seemed to the leader of the three.

"I don't give a shit," Karma said, picking up Shirohana. "I am going to take her to the nurse's office."

"You put her down!" the same girl said, grabbing Karma's shoulder. "We aren't done with her yet!"

Karma glared at her. The girl pulled her hand away in fear. Karma walked out of the classroom, carrying Shirohana.

"Jizu, head to the classroom without me," Karma said, as he ran off.

When they arrived at the nurse's office, the school nurse was sitting in her chair, doing some paperwork. She looked up when they came in.

"Oh my god!" the nurse gasped in horror. "What happened to her?!"

"Please help her!" Karma said. "Some mean girls were beating her."

"This is terrible!" the nurse said. "Quickly, lay her on the bed. I'll treat her injuries."

Both of them worked to treat Shirohana. Then, at last, they bandaged her up. Shirohana fell asleep during the process. Her face was in tranquility.

Karma sighed in relief. His heart that was beating the whole time had finally calmed down. However, his anger towards those girls still lingered.

"I'll watch over her," the nurse said. "You go to class."

"Alright," Karma replied, heading out the door.

Karma walked to his classroom. As he walked, he was thinking of the incident that occurred.

*Why are those girls bullying a sweet and caring girl like her?* Karma thought to himself. As he entered his classroom, the students turned to look at him. Even though Karma was in a different class, the word about the incident traveled fast.

"What?" Karma asked, annoyed. He sat down at his desk and laid his head down. Then class started. Karma looked out the window, wondering if Shirohana was better.

Then lunch break came. That's when everyone exploded. People were whispering while giving quick glances toward Karma. Karma was annoyed, so he stood up and started to walk out of the classroom.

"Wait!" three voices shouted. Karma turned and saw his friends running towards him.

"We heard you stood up against those girls who were bullying that white haired girl," Kizuna said, patting Karma's shoulder. "I can't believe students of this school would do this."

"How is she?" Kiki said, worryingly.

"She's resting in the nurse's office," Karma said. "I'm going to check on her now."

And with that, he ran off.

As he neared Shirohana's classroom, he decided to grab Shirohana's bento. When he walked into the classroom, the students' attention became directed at him.

Then, the three girls approached him.

"What the hell are you doing here," one of the girls asked. It was the same girl that had tried to stop Karma from carrying Shirohana to the nurse's office.

"I don't have anything to say to you," Karma replied with a glare. "Fuck off."

The girl backed away and Karma went to Shirohana's desk. Sure enough, a bento box was neatly placed inside her desk along with several books. Karma carefully took out the bentobox and walked straight out of the classroom, not bothering to see what the mean girls were up to.

Karma quickly made his way to the nurse's office. As he neared the office, the nurse came out.

"Oh, you're back," the nurse said upon seeing Karma.

"Yes. I came to check on Shirohana. How is she doing?" Karma asked.

"She's not in any serious condition, but she needs to rest," the nurse replied. "I have to go somewhere now. Don't make her do anything that would make her use energy."

"I won't," Karma replied and proceeded to enter the office. He approached Shirohana's bed and opened the curtains to see Shirohana awake.

You're awake, " Karma said. 

'Oh, Karma!" Shirohana said in surprise. " I-I heard you carried me here. Thank you again."

"No problem," Karma replied, smiling. "I did what I had to do. How are you now?"

"I'm better now. My body still aches, but I think I can at least stand ," Shirohana replied.

"That's great," Karma said. "I brought your lunch. Mind if I sit next to you?"

"Oh! Thank you!" Not at all, " Shirohana replied.

Karma pulled a chair next to the bed Shirohana was on and sat down. The two ate lunch and chatted. It was a peaceful time for them both.

Then chaos struck.

After they finished their lunch and talked for a while longer, the bell rang. Both bid each other farewell and Karma left the nurse's office.

*Glad to see that she's fine* Karma thought as he headed back to his classroom.

Class proceeded as normal, though there was still constant gossip about that incident in the morning.

Soon, the bell ran, signaling tye end of the day. As Karma was packing up his things, his friends approached him.

"Man, people just don't know how insensitive it is to talk behind people's backs," Jizu said with a sigh.

"Are you going to visit the girl again, Karma?" Kizuna asked.

"Ya...She is recovering, but I am still worried," Karma replied.

"Well, run along now," Kizuna said. "You don't want to keep a girl waiting."

"Introduce us next time, alright?" Kiki said, smiling.

"I will," Karma replied and rushed off. When he arrived at the nurse's office, he saw that Shirohana was no longer there.

*Did she leave? But she still hasn't fully recovered... * Karma thought, worryingly.

Karma tried looking for the nurse, but she was nowhere to be seen. He sighed and walked out of the school. Just as he made his way out the gates, he felt a strong impact on his head. He fell forward, his vision slowly fading. 

Then everything went black. 

When he awoke, he saw the sky between two buildings. He was still dizzy from the impact and took a while to collect his thoughts. 

"So, you are awake," a boy said. Karma tried to sit up and see who said that, but his hands and legs were tied up. 

The boy was really tall. He wore a high school uniform with a black opened coat. His hair was black and spiky. He wore a gold chain on his belt. 

"Who are you?!" Karma asked. "What do you want with me?!" 

"I'm sure you know the reason, " a girl's voice answered him. It was one of the mean girls that bullied Shirohana. She walked over to Karma, snickering. 

"I heard you insulted my little sister, " the high schooler said. "You humiliated her in front of the whole class."

"That's only because she was hurting someone!" Karma objected angrily. 

"My sister only did that because that bitch probably deserved it," the boy said, pointing to a girl lying unconscious. 

"Shirohana!" Karma shouted. "Leave her alone! She already suffered enough!" 

"So she means that much to you, huh?" the boy said, with an evil smile. 

"What are you going to d- NO STOP," Karma shouted in horror. 

"She is gonna be punished, and you are going to watch, " the boy said, ripping Shirohana's clothes. 

"No! You piece of shit! I will murder you!" Karma shouted, struggling to take off his restrains. 

"AHHH!" a sudden scream sounded. It was Josh, charging at the high schooler. 

"Wha-" the high schooler started but got slammed.

"Let go of her, you fucking bastard!" Josh screamed, pushing the boy down. 

"You little fucker!" the boy shouted, kicking Josh in the stomach. Josh screamed in pain. He had only healed enough to walk, so the pain he had inflicted on him was crushingly painful. 

"I'll take care of him, " the mean girl said. "Make sure you fuck them up, big brother. Come on, Rize and Mary." She and her two companions carried Josh away. 

"You got it, Hanna, " the high schooler said, going back to strip Shirohana. 

"No...Shirohana..." Josh said weakly. 

"No! You scum!" Karma shouted, tears forming. The high schooler just laughed and continued defiling Shirohana. 

"Wha..." Shirohana said slowly as she opened her eyes. It took a while for her to realize what was happening. 

"What are you doing?!" Shirohana shouted. "Let me go!" She tried to push the high schooler away, but her hands and legs were tied up. 

"Stop struggling, bitch," the high schooler shouted. "You are going to pay for what you have done."

"What did I do?!" Shirohana asked, tears dripping. "Why are you doing this?

"You should know why," the high schooler said. "Embarrassing my precious sister and trying to ruin our family name."

"I never did that!" Shirohana screamed, still struggling. 

"It doesn't matter what you say," the high schooler said. "I only trust my sister. Now your life will be ruined."

"No!" Shirohana screamed. "Help!"

"Shirohana!" Karma screamed. He slammed his head on the ground. 

*Can't I do anything?!*

Then, a strange voice spoke to him. 

-Do you want power?-

-Do you want to kill the bastard?-

-Do you want to hurt the ones that have committed sin?-

"Who is that? Who are you?!" Karma shouted in confusion.

-If you want...-

-If you wish...-

-You can gain great power.-

Karma thought of Shirohana, how she was a nice and caring girl, who put her loved ones in front of her. 

"Yes. Give it to me! I want to murder him and that bitch sister!" Karma shouted. As soon as he said that, his body heated up. Pain went through his body. 

"AHHHH," Karma screamed in pain.

"Man, would you be quiet?" the high schooler said after taking off Shirohana's bra. "He got up and walked over to Karma.

Then he fell over. 

"Huh?" the high schooler said before slamming onto the ground. Karma had landed a fist into his face. 

"AHH!" the high schooler screamed in pain, blooding dripping from his nose. "You fucker!"

"Heh," Karma laughed. "HAHAHA."

"How fucking dare you! Why the fuck are you laughing?!" the high schooler asked angrily. He got up and threw a punch. Karma caught it fairly easily. 

"Why am I laughing?" Karma said, snickering. "I'm laughing because I am going to kill you." And with that, hell broke loose. Karma destroyed the high schooler. Each punch was like having a hammer smash your face. The high schooler could not do anything. His sister, Hanna, just stood in horror. After beating up the high schooler into a bloody pulp, Karma smiled evilly and turned to Hanna. 

"No...Don't... STAY AWAY!" Hanna screamed, trying to run away. But Karma, in his current state, caught up to her and grabbed her hair. He pulled her down and punch her in the gut. 

"Ack!" the girl screamed. That impact so strong it made her barf. 

"HAHAHA!" Karma laughed. "Now who's barfing? Huh, bitch?!"

"You piece of shit! How dare you hurt my sister!" the high schooler got up and charged at Karma. He punched Karma in the face. Karma smiled. 

"You still have some fight left in you! Good! GOOD!" Karma said, laughing. Blood ran down his chin. Instead of feeling pain, Karma felt excited. He punches the high schooler back, sending him crashing into a wall. The high schooler screamed.

"Yes! Yes!" Karma said excitedly. "Scream more! That's what I want to hear. Your suffering, your pain, let me hear all of it!" Karma then proceeded to punch the living hell out of the high schooler. By the time Karma was done, the high schooler's face was a bloody mess. 

But Karma wasn't done. 

From the corner of his eye, he spotted two girls trying to slowly carry Hanna away. They were Rise and Mary.

*It's those bitches* Karma thought, smiling viciously. He dashes at them and grabbed them. Without a moment of hesitation, he threw them down to the ground, face first.

"AHHH! It hurts!" the girls screamed, holding their face.

"Yes! Cry more! There's more to come!" Karma shouted.

"No...Please! We won't hurt her anymore. We will leave Shirohana, her friend, and you alone. Please spare us!" the girls said, trembling.

"You think you deserve mercy?" Karma said. "Laughable! Pathetic! Others might be lenient with you, but you won't get any mercy from me!" Karma started to throw a punch but stopped when he heard Shirohana. 

"That's enough! They have learned their lesson... please stop..." Shirohana said. Karma walked over to Shirohana and smacked her. He grabbed her face.

"I don't think you have any say in this," Karma said smiling. "I feel really fucking good. When I'm done with them, you're next."

"Please stop! You were such a nice boy. You helped Josh and me. I don't want you to ruin your life like this!" Shirohana said, weeping. "Please... "

"You don't know me," Karma said. "I love this kind of stuff. It's exhilarating!

"No! This isn't who you are! Please, I know you are trying to help me, but please turn back!" Shirohana screamed. 

"I don't like that tone..." Karma said. "You ought to be taught a lesson..." He raised a fist, beginning to throw a full power punch. 

*Stop! What am I doing?!* 

Karma's left hand stopped his punch.

*This wasn't what I was meant to do!*

"Don't interfere! You are mine now!" Karma shouted, struggling to free his right hand.

*No! I don't want to hurt her!*

Then, in a swift movement, Karma's left hand punched him in the face. He fell back, blood spurting out his nose.  

"AHH!" Karma screamed in pain.

*You did your job. Now...G-Get back*

Then, the evil was gone.

Karma was breathing hard. It took all his strength to surpass the thing that had now awoken. 

"Karma? Are you alright?" Shirohana asked worryingly. 

"I'm sorry," Karma said, after gathering his breath. "I wasn't sane. All I was thinking about was getting revenge."

"It's alright," Shirohana said, weeping tears of joy. "You are back now, that's all that matters."

Karma untied Shirohana's ropes and she slowly got up. 

"Oh no! Josh!" Shirohana said, worryingly, realizing Josh had taken a beating. She rushed over and felt his chest.

"Thank god. He's breathing," Shirohana said with relief. "Josh...thank you."

She hugged Josh, crying.

"S-Shiro..." Josh said weakly, with a small smile on his face. 

"Don't talk," Shirohana said. "We'll get you fixed up. Just rest, alright?"

Josh nodded and dozed off. Shirohana tried to carry Josh but she was very tired. Karma swooped in and put his jacket on Shirohana.

"You will catch a cold," Karma said. "I'll help you. "You can hold on to me if you need to balance." Karma put Josh on his back and stood up. 

"Thank you again," Shirohana said, smiling warmly.

Karma blushed. 

"I-It's nothing," Karma replied. "I'm just glad this ordeal is over."

"Let me call for help," Shirohana said. "As bad as they were, they deserve help."

*You're way too kind, Shirohana.* Karma thought. 

After Shirohana made the call, they walked off, looking back every few moments to make sure help arrived. When they saw some police cars, they quickly walked to be out of sight.

~Back to the present~

"So that was the first time you turned?" Katz asked. "Interesting..."

"Yeah, I just couldn't let that high schooler do that to that girl. When that voice appeared in my head, I willingly gave in. Now it has been haunting me for many years now." Karma replied, looking down.

"Do you remember anything after you helped the girl and her friend?" Katz asked.

"Not particularly. My memories are all very blurry and I don't know why," Karma replied. Then his head started hurting.

"Shit! My head!" Karma winced in pain.

"Whats wrong?" Katz said, stopping the car on the side of the road.

"M-My head...It hurts..." Karma said weakly. Then he fainted.

*Hmm... This happened with another patient I had. Once they told me how their condition came to be, they started to experience head pain. Is it his repressed memories resurfacing and affecting his consciousness? His mind seems to be unstable because of his other side, after all.* Katz thought.

He got out of the car and opened the trunk. After grabbing a blanket from the trunk, he placed it on Karma. Then he got into his car again. He picked up his phone and dialed. After a few rings, Katz  gave the following command.

"Prepare for Experiment Alter-Ego," Katz said. Then a smile appeared on his mouth.

*This will be an interesting ordeal* he thought as he drove into the distance.

A boy that suffers from a serious psychological disorder learns to slowly control it through masterful guidance and getting close with a beautiful girl.

News spread quickly, not only through the city of Inpyeong, but throughout the whole nation. A poor excuse of a father, scum among scum, who sexually abused his daughter for the past three years. He had left her at the institute so he could work overseas, but he had suddenly started molesting her. The heartwrenching tale of a girl who spent all that time alone, hurting, unable to rely on anyone, until a fellow institute student bravely reported it to the authorities.

Then came the TV programs and reports.

<What happened that day at the courthouse?>
<Her pain went unnoticed by all at the institute>
<A closer look at the institute's lax standards>

The chairman of the institute crumpled up the newspaper he had been reading and angrily threw it at the ground.

"We're still getting reporters asking for an interview, but we'll keep refusing them, for now..." The executive secretary said quietly, but quickly shut his mouth when the chairman whipped his head around to glare at him. Though he had already gone through four cigarettes, the chairman lit up another one as he addressed the director of administration.

"What do you think we should do, director?"

All things considered, all the director wanted to say was to leave him out of this, but he simply rolled his eyes and thought carefully. Besides, this was the perfect opportunity for him. He could blame everything on the chairman and the executive secretary to get them fired from their jobs. At least, that's what he had planned on doing. If only the top hadn't given him orders to lay low, he would have grabbed every document, every file he had collected on the two and begun the job already.

"I believe that we should... Find the relevant people and have them take responsibility. We should also revise the whole system in terms of supervision." He said, which was a very long-winded way of saying they should use common sense to deal with this. Of course, it's not like the chairman had any common sense to begin with, hence the need for explaining everything.

"The relevant people would be the teachers who took attendance, no? Are you really suggesting we fire them all? Seriously?"

It took all the self-control he could muster for the director to not shout "No, it's you, chairman!", but with an extreme show of patience and willpower, he simply took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Then what would you suggest, chairman?" asked the director. He seemed to humble himself, treating the chairman as a higher up, but the purpose of the question was simple: to make the chairman reveal his plans. The chairman was no fool, and he understood this immediately. He shot a displeased glance at the director and let out a puff of smoke.

"The board will hold an official meeting over this, I'm sure... But from what I've heard, they need someone from the top to be... An example."
"Meaning?"
"... A change in personnel."

The executive secretary turned pale at this, and he seemed to shrink even more into his seat. The director of administration was, as the title suggested, in charge of adminstrative duties, such as paperwork and the like, which made it difficult to pin the blame on him. As such, the most likely person to be held accountable for this fiasco was the executive secretary himself, in place of the chairman.

And so it was that the executive secretary was relieved of his post, leaving the position vacant until the board was ready to nominate another.

"Director Jeong," called the director of administration, "this was the perfect chance to get rid of the chairman. Why didn't you take it?"
"Director, I understand where you are coming from, I truly do. But we must take our time and lay low, for the sake of the institute. If we were to blow things up, it would just be a clusterfuck."

She spoke rather calmly, her manner of speech very elegant, which made the word "clusterfuck" stand out that much more.

"Is there something I'm not aware of? I don't understand why we shouldn't act now."
"My, that's a rather straightforward question. How do I even begin to answer you...? Ah, well. I suppose now is as good a time as any to tell you. We are planning on reforming the foundation's policies."

This took the director entirely by surprise, his jaw dropping in awe. Policy reforms? As Director Jeong continued to explain her plan of revising the election policies as well as management regulations, his head whirred to keep up with it all.

"Besides, the chairman will retire next year. It'll be a natural shift of power. He will toss us a vote, in exchange for getting an executive member's retirement fees as per the revised policies. I suppose the reform will take place once the chairman and Director Lee join our cause."

In the end, the chairman had read the flow of things rather quickly and rathere well, and had chosen to give up his authority in exchange of a stable, lucrative retirement. His shortcomings would be swept under the rug, in exchange for a vote. That cunning, slippery, fat little snake. The director could almost smell the chairman's repulsive cigarette smoke in the air.

There were many changes in the institute. Two of the teachers had been replaced, as the issue had been far too grave to be covered up with just the executive secretary's post. This meant that a teacher had to take responsibility as well, but considering the fact that this issue had gone unnoticed for three whole years, the choice was made to fire both supervising teachers. Moreover, though only two teachers had left, they had been replaced with four new teachers, as a response to media criticism that there weren't enough personnel to effectively look after all the children in the institute. There were less and less children attending the institute, yet there were now more teachers. Though this made supervision much easier, it also proved to be a restriction in the children's daily lives.

A change in staff meant that the children also needed to change. First things first, no one was allowed to spend the night out. That privilege would be returned to the children once the media attention cooled off, but for now, they were only allowed short outings, and even those were to be strictly monitored. Children leaving the grounds had to give detailed information on their destination and the path they were taking, and no one was to leave without explicit permission. Second, the rooms were rearranged. Previously, they had sorted the children by age, so that the children could spend more time with their peers and classmates, but they were now sorted by gender. It was a sound plan, at least on paper, in order to avoid potential happenings, but how effective could it really be? Regardless of practicality, it was more of a show for the media. The girls thus took the rooms in the first and second floors, while the boys took the rooms from the third to the fifth floors.

Dayoung shared her new room with an older middle school girl. She had roomed with Somi for a long time, and her friend's sudden absence left Dayoung feeling confused and scared. But above all, she couldn't believe the fact that she had never noticed Somi's pain and hurt until now. Thankfully, however, her new roommate had taken the time to console her, and Dayoung calmed down after a few days.

As for Lucid and the other elementary school boys, they had moved to the third room. Until now, as they were the youngest, they had used the rooms on the first floor. The change seemed to sit well with Myeong-su.

"Plaster face, look! You can see the whole street from here!" He exclaimed. Myeong-su was quite happy with being given a room in a higher floor. Or perhaps, it didn't really matter what floor he was on. After all, out of everyone at the institute, he had been the most excited during the big moving day.

On the other hand, Hyung-geun complained that he now had to climb stairs both at school and at the institute, as his classroom was at the highest floor of the school. He simply couldn't believe that he had to take stairs all day long to get anywhere.

Cheol-yong's assessment was quite short. "It's harder to get to the courtyard."

Lucid shrugged and left to go find one of the new teachers. "Excuse me," he called, "I borrowed some books from Somi before we went to the courthouse. What should I do with them?"
"I'm sorry, who?" the teacher asked.
"Somi," Lucid said again, enunciating properly.

The teacher seemed to ponder over this name for a bit, but his face darkened as soon as he realized who the name belonged to.

"It's alright. Somi already took all her things and left." He said curtly. "You can just hold on to them."

Somi had been admitted into another institute, but no one had seen her ever since she left with Officer Choi. Her belongings had been taken by the supervisors and sent to the new institute, which is why Lucid had missed his chance to return the books to her.

The boy thanked the teacher and returned to his new room, staring at the cover of the book as he sat on the bed. Not long after, <I'll Share My Filthy Misery With You> returned to its place on the bookshelf.

****

During break, Lucid clung to books even more than before. Now, studying had become a matter of life and death to him, and it wasn't just because of what had happened to Somi. It was because of all those times when problems arose due to his incompetence, when he had lost control of a situation because he simply didn't know enough, and because of all the things that happened because he had been too weak.

What had happened to Somi acted as a catalyst, motivating Lucid to keep moving forward at a time when he had been stagnant, mourning the Mosla's death. At least, that's what things appeared to be. He had lost the gloominess and looming darkness that had kept everyone else away, and he now seemed to be more energetic, though most of that energy was spent reading. When he focused on a book, he had such an intense look to him that even the teachers didn't dare interrupt him.

In reality, however, his reading was a fight for life. Fear and despair always loomed over him, pressuring him to read and understand every book he came across, lest he be thrust into a situation he was powerless to control again. Reading was no longer a glance at a strange, wondrous world, but a battle to escape the fangs of an angry scrofa. This was why his reading was so intense, so fierce. However, such passionate focus must have struck some girls as attractive, as more and more of them gathered just to watch Lucid read. His looks were already widely known, especially as his statuesque beauty had earned him the nickname "plaster face" in the first place, but the sight of him immersed in his reading was more dazzling than any still-life painting.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had apparently devoured every single book in the institute, but Lucid had gone to the teachers to obtain permission to leave the grounds two weeks before the end of the break. He was headed to the public library.

"Is this your first time here?" asked the high schooler who had accompanied him.
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"There's... So many books."

Lucid smiled for the first time in a long time.


<Misuderstanding (1)> End.

A boy who was living an ordinary life in another world suddenly came to the present world.

Social systems, way of life and morals... They have all changed.

How will the boy try to survive?

What kind of life will the boy live?

"Do you want to go to school? "

Kuroha looked up from his tablet. Yes, he had evolved from his books to a tablet. It made things less messy. 

He looked deeply at this alien who called himself his father and said a big fat 

"No"

Nighteye wasn't surprised, he had already expected such an answer. That why he didn't attack by himself.

"Please, Kuroha. You're really smart, but simply being taught at home isn't enough."

The one who launched another attack by the side was a beautiful girl. 

She was a fairly well-built young woman with a rather slim build, her skin light blue in color. She had short, ruffled dark blue hair that curves upwards and downwards around her head, parted to her left, and wide yellow eyes with thick eyelashes.

Her hero costume consisted of a skintight dark blue crop top with a white high-collared section, a zipper down the middle, over the higher part of her chest, which reveals her torso from the underside of her breasts down.

She wears black tights with loose white shorts, two yellow markings down to either side of them, and a thick white boots with lines running down their shafts, yellow rings in the center of them. On her hands, she wore plain dark blue gloves.

Her name was Awata Kaoruko, a new graduate who also became a pro hero and was hired by Nighteye not long ago. She had already worked as an intern with him two years ago. Her hero's name was Bubble Girl.

"They are right you know, even though you might no need it from an educational standpoint, you need to have more friends. The only friends you ever make come here is Momo."

The second one who intervened as he was brewing a tea was a middle-aged man with the face of a brown centipeder, who wore a black tuxedo. He was Maoshi Juzo, another sidekick of Nighteye. He was a stoic gentleman whose mannerisms didn't lose to that of any nobles. 

His hero's name was pretty simple. It was Centipeder. Even now Kuroha snorted in contempt when thinking of how simple and direct this name was. His hero name would never be like that.

Silence reigned in the room. The gaze of hope and expectations on his back were so hot that he felt the stings. He even wondered if, of those three, one had a hidden quirk related to fire. He sighed and decided to ask his questions.

"Why the rush?"

It was Nighteye who answered.

"Right now, you're just old enough to enter the first year of Middle school. You already stayed long enough at home. It's time for you to make more friends and see more of the world don't you think so?"

Nighteye was sincerely worried about Kuroha. He knew Kuroha at a deep distrust for most people. He might seem close to some, but there is always a wall in front of his heart. What more, he didn't want his son to become a shut-in. 

Even now, Nighteye couldn't say for sure that he managed to break all the walls. He didn't think that he raised badly Kuroha, but there some things that could only be learned in school.

Kuroha, of course, understood the situation and the feeling of his father. He knew that apart from Rei, there are few people who cared as much for him.

Frankly, he didn't want to accept, but he still nodded. Not because of the pressure. Even if their gaze was akin of magma burning his skin, nothing would make him compromise if he really didn't want to. But sometimes, the feeling of love people had for you was heavier than even Mt Tai.

Nighteye and the other two, seeing him nod were overjoyed. Bubbles girl directly took a bunch of papers out from under the table and gave them to Kuroha.

The more he read it, the worse his expression became, finally, he threw the paper away and said with indignation.

"You guy step me up."

Those papers were already filled and deposited. This was nothing more than a copy.

Bubbles Girl didn't answer but simply high fived with centipeder and Nighteye before turning to him with a grin.

Kuroha seeing this, stopped complaining and began to seriously read the papers. It was his fault for having been set up. Complaining was a waste of time. 

Frankly speaking, be it centipeder, Nighteye or even Bubble Girl, they were all pretty serious in their work. They weren't the kind to do prank or grin and laugh usually. Well apart from the necessary joke to make Nighteye laugh, but even that wasn't something seen every day. The only reason they acted goofy like that was because they really cared for him. 

Repay evil with ten times more evil and kindness with hundreds time more kindness. This was the law he began to follow.

As he read the information. He noted that the school was called SALTY BANKS MIDDLE SCHOOL. Really a weird name. He idly wondered if the founder of this school was high on something when he named it like that.

This school had nothing special. It was close to the upper level as far as middle school goes. But nothing particularly outstanding or noteworthy. It was weird. How could a perfectionist like Nighteye send him to such a school? Well, he was always told that when you don't know, you just have to ask. So he decided to simply ask

"Why this school in particular?"

Nighteye who was seated behind his office table simply lifted his glasses before saying,

"I know how large your current knowledge is. Frankly, right now, even university students might not know more than you in some specific subjects."

Kuroha nodded. It was true. He didn't have an eidetic memory but his memory was very close to it. If you added the numerous books he had read over the course of three years, it was normal that his theoretical knowledge already surpassed what could be taught to people his age. 

Nighteye continued 

"Since you're already so good. It means that the standard of the school itself doesn't matter much. What more you'll graduate from U.A, so, people will never care about what kind of Middle school you went to."

Bubbles Girl decided to continue

"The goal isn't for you to study but to make friends. The true best middle school are extremely xenophobic while the worst one are no-go. So we choose one of the best ones in the pack in the middle."

A weird but clear and sound reasoning. That one of the reasons why he liked them so much. 

The few minutes that followed were simply for allowing him to understand the regulations. Finally, Bubbles Girl smiled and get up from her seat before asking Kuroha to follow her somewhere.

"I have a surprise for you!!!" 

------

He felt like he was in hell. Otherwise, how could it be possible?

"Kyaaa!!! So cute!!!!! "x 3

Kuroha never felt such a humiliation since the day he was freed from the laboratory. He was tricked once again, he should have fled when he saw their destination. 

The one who was screaming right now was Bubbles Girl, alongside the tailor and his assistant. By the way, the tailor was a man.

They were in a tailor shop in order to take the shirt from she had already asked for after secretly taking his measurements.

Right now, he felt like murdering someone.

"I. Am. Not. Cute. Damn it!!!!"

In the night streets, he was feared as the reaper in the underworld. His second identity, once mentioned, could make even child stop crying. Criminals would shit themselves when seeing him. So why was he posing in front of a mirror like some doll?

A growing headache made him pinch his brows. Today wasn't his day. He really should have never accepted to go to this school. Still, he had to accept that the uniform was pretty cool on him. The fact that it was entirely black helped.

It was a gakuran. The uniforms for many middle-schooler in Japan. The color was normally black, but some schools use navy blue. Thankfully this one was black. 

The top had a standing collar buttoning down from top-to-bottom. Buttons were decorated with the school emblem to show respect to the school. The Pants were straight leg and a black or dark-colored belt is worn with them. 

Some schools may require the students to wear collar-pins representing the school and/or class rank. This school didn't request it but the tailor still decided to add it. 

This uniform added to his already handsome looks was like a killer move for any girl. What more, since he worked out regularly, he filled out nicely the uniform.

Sadly, because of his age, no matter how handsome he was, what would be cool for girl his age looked extremely cute for mature women, and some men.

Finally, the tailor couldn't hold himself back. He took a card and gave it to Kuroha.

"I am Albertino Rodriguez. I am the director of a model agency. Would you like to work with me?"

Even though Kuroha thought that this man was weird, he didn't really care. He was on the verge of refusing when Bubbles Girl took the card and pocketed it.

"Kuroha is still too young. I will show it to his father and wait for the decision."

Her smile was pretty professional. Kuroha didn't insist. He already knew what Nighteye decision would be. In his heart, he felt a great deal of guilt toward Nighteye, that why he would generally carter to his wish.

It also helped that Nighteye wishes were always for Kuroha good.

After another session of changing and adjusting, a smiling Bubbles Girl and a tired Kuroha left the shop, while a happy Albertino waved them goodbye.

Today was really a tiring day.

Copyright Disclaimer: Neither the original stories nor the cover picture belongs to me. I am
just a fan who wants to write a different version of Mangas I love with the powers of others
manga I find badass. You should go read those Mangas or watch their anime version.

NOTE: I have a constant release of 5 chapters each week. But if you give me enough stones for me to reach:

 The top 30= 1 bonus chapter on Saturday. 
The top 20= 2 bonus on Sunday.
The top 10 = another bonus chapter.

At that point, the reason why they were there became quite obvious. Luo Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "It’s too risky, why me?"

The journey would take more than a day. The island was located in Borneo, which was a few thousand kilometers from the reconstruction area. He had to cross a thousand kilometers of deep ocean regions to get there. He was not sure how many terrifying mutated beasts he would encounter along the way. The worse part of it all was that he might have to probe into the extraterrestrial civilization to obtain first-hand information.

Now that he was almost invincible, most of the mutated beasts could not do him any harm. The wilderness and forest were deadly to ordinary people but they were nothing to him. However, he was still a human. If he was discovered by the extraterrestrial civilization, the consequences would pose a threat to his survival.

The atmosphere became tense. The high commissioner looked down and said, "Major Luo, you’re the best that we have. You have years of experience surviving in the wilderness. You’re strong and you have some knowledge of the extraterrestrial civilization. Most importantly, you can fly. The most crucial part of this mission is to carry out surveillance without detection so we can’t use drones. With the exception of yourself, there is no one who can go on this mission. Of course, we know the mission is very dangerous. I’m here to ask for a favor, it’s not an order. So if you decline the mission, we understand."

Luo Yuan was not surprised that the high commissioner knew him and the reconstruction area so well. He was sure such information was very easily obtained by a person in his position. Luo Yuan frowned while tapping his fingers on the table. After a moment, he said, "I don’t understand why you, Sir, would decide upon such a dangerous mission. If I was discovered, the extraterrestrial civilization would find out that we know about them. The consequences could be disastrous."

"The war started a long time ago, we have no other alternative. The explosion of the fusion device was not an accident like it was reported, it was an attack!" 

The high commissioner hesitated and continued,"Although we have no idea why the extraterrestrial civilization is hiding, there must be something that we are missing."

"Perhaps they are not strong enough, or they have some special purpose or perhaps they have some other unknown agenda. We are guessing even if they’re exposed, the possibility of the war is not certain."

High commissioner’s voice became deep and stern. "Moreover, they have shown signs of hostility. Compromising is not an option. With a 200 year gap in technology,  they will not just sit there and wait for us! War will happen sooner or later. If we get more information about them, then there’s at least a higher chance for us to defeat them and win. Even if we die, we will not go down without putting up a good fight."

Luo Yuan sat up straight, an indescribable sadness rose within him. He was never a saint. He was just an ordinary person from the start. He would never sacrifice himself for someone else. Although he had saved and helped many people since the apocalypse, he would never risk his life to uncertain odds. Putting the faith of the human race in his hands was way too much. He could not imagine how terrible it would be if a war were to happen. The reconstruction area would be burnt to ash, no human would survive. The human civilization would be extinct. Even if he survived in the end, would he be able to live in peace, with the knowledge that he could have saved the humans?

…

During the days that followed, he did not go to the work. At night he went with the high commissioner’s assistant to New Capital City on the underground train for intensive training sessions to prepare himself.

In modern civilization, information retrieval was a very serious matter, and it could not be mastered by just anyone. He would be taught how to investigate, hide and handle all sorts of emergencies.

During that time, Luo Yuan showcased his astonishing learning and memory skills. He surprised all the trainers, to a point, he could basically memorize everything he heard immediately. 

The training eventually became pointless to him. Apart from some special techniques that required professional guidance, they sent him reading material for basic knowledge of the mission.

‘Must Know for An Information Personnel’
‘How to Be An Outstanding Spy’
‘The Art of Camouflage’
‘100 Ways to Build Traps’
‘Defects and Blind Spots of Artificial Intelligence’
"How to Sneak Into A  High-Tech Secret Room"

…

Those books were considered acceptable, but they came along with a few unusual ones too.

‘International Thieves - Tricks Used In Crimes - An Encyclopedia’
‘Fugitive Report’
‘Prison Break’
‘100 Ways To Fight Back In A Trial’

…

In three days, Luo Yuan had studied more than 10 books. He did not just analyze the information, he memorized them too. However, that was just the beginning of his training, what happened next was the crucial part.

The mission was important to both the reconstruction area and the survival of human beings. No matter how much he prepared, it was not enough as there was no guide to winning the war and preserving the existence of human civilization. In reality, before Luo Yuan started training, many were against it. Not only the mission but also the fact that he had been chosen to be their savior. 

Luo Yuan, as a civilian, was considered unfit for the mission. Encountering the extraterrestrial civilization that had technology that surpassed what was used on earth, even a mini camera could pose to be a threat to expose who he was. Therefore, no electrical devices were allowed on this mission. There would be no images or videos for analysis. Critical solving skills and rational judgment were the only way. Without expert level knowledge of science, one would find it very difficult to handle such a mission. 

An ideal information retrieval specialist would be an all-rounded scientist, who was also strong, with the ability to survive in the cruel wilderness. The same person would also require the ability to cross oceans and the islands along the way. However, it was apparent, such a person did not exist. Luo Yuan’s stunning learning ability was a surprise to everyone. It felt like he was back in high school.

Metallurgy, High Energy Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Genetics, Relativity, Thermodynamics, Number Theory, Geometry, Fluid Mechanics…

The subjects that would have driven a high-schooler crazy, but they were just the basics. Next, he would have to learn about some unidentified theories of mankind including conjectures and hypothesis!

Millions of books that represented the current civilization were forced into his head. Although Luo Yuan had Intelligence of +15, all the studying gave him a headache.

However, he was not going to abandon the mission. Instead, he worked harder and tried his best to understand all the advancements ever achieved by the human race. Perhaps one day if the civilization disappeared and he survived, he could use that knowledge to give life to a new one. 

Time passed by, from the tiresome reading, his studies had now become interesting.

As his knowledge increased, he got used to all the reading, and his passion for the information allowed him to read faster and faster. Eventually, it only took him a few minutes to finish a book. There were not many books that confused him anymore. He could have just flipped through them, cross referenced and compared theories in his mind.

More than 10 bookshelves were emptied in a matter of days. When Luo Yuan was getting the last book from the shelf, he realized that the shelf was empty. Suddenly, he felt disappointed and laughed at the thought. 

Soon after, he walked slowly out of the library. An assistant from the high commissioner was waiting for him as he exited. She looked up when she saw him and gasped. 

Luo Yuan had a pair of captivating eyes that were filled with intelligence and he exuded a vibe of a higher-order intellect.



Have you ever thought that the state of the world as it presently is, could revert to the laws of the ancients? When a series of strange incidents beginning with the disappearance of his friend led Luo Yuan to question the possibility of an apocalypse, he becomes embroiled in the midst of a global-scale chaos.

Evolution has turned the flora and fauna of the vast and bountiful Earth into something that had never been seen before. Coincidentally, the all-dominating Homo sapiens have ended up at the bottom of the food chain. From mystery to crisis, will Luo Yuan discover a means of saving humanity by racing to the top of the food chain? Or will he strive in accordance with the law of the jungle? It is the dawn of an age of the survival of the fittest.

When Maria saw the notifications, she was immediately elated.

"Yay!"

She quickly pressed on the [YES] and her [Basic Language Mastery] was upgraded to [Advance Language Mastery]

[Advance Language Mastery (0/10,000)

Rank: E

Complete understanding of common demonic language and elementary understanding of all other languages, able to read 3-line incantations and write language functions and structures

Upgradeable: Linguistics E
Requirement met: Advanced Language Master S]

When Maria saw the [Linguistics] skill being the upgradeable skill after [Advanced Language Mastery], she immediately began to tear up.

She looked up at Zelundo who was next to her with tear-filled eyes. Zelundo only smirked playfully and patted her head lightly.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CONSOLE ME!" 

"Ahahahaha~ you're one interesting little missy! Go on, start reading those books!"

*DING* [Zelundo has tasked you with reading the library's books!]

[Quest Received: Study Time

Read every book inside of the library. While this quest is active, proficiency and EXP gained from reading is doubled.

Time Limit: 29 Days
Penalty: -100 FAV with Zelundo
Rewards: +1000 FAV with Zelundo, +100 REP, +50 INT, [Book Keeping], 100,000 EXP]

"Uhh..."

"Hey, you get some benefits if you're able to completely understand those books! Now hurry up and get started! Try and get the [Linguistics] skill before the month has ended, okay?"

"A MONTH?!"

"Hey, that's the shortest time you could take to learn [Linguistics]! No slacking off now, hurry up and begin reading!"

"Nooooo!!!"

As Maria's despaired ridden voice echoed throughout the library, Hella had just come out of the Magic Tower with a light gait in her steps. 

She had finally one upped the stupid Arch Mage geezer in the tower and they agreed to a bet that he would teach Maria about [Magic Comprehension] and [Magic Deduction] if she could learn both [Linguistics] and [Book Keeping] from Zelundo before a month had passed.

"Hehe, just you wait you stupid geezer. Our Lady Envoy will be able to learn those skills with time to spare! A million gold, a favor, plus that 5 century-old wine are in the bag, OHOHOHOHO~!" Hella roared in laughter. It was a good thing no one was there to witness her out of character moment, she quickly cleared her throat in embarrassment and skipped happily back to the Dark God's Temple.

******

3 in-game weeks had passed since Maria was given the [Study Time] quest and she was floating through the air while reading a book at her leisure. The players who had come to the library to receive a different quest had grown used to seeing the girl floating through the air while reading a book. 

It was a unique sight, but it was welcomed since she also sometimes helped players search for the specific book that they needed to complete the quest they got from the library's receptionist. Players even began calling her the Library's Angel.

"It's almost been a month...just a little bit more..." Maria said as she finished reading another book.

If Maria knew this was how long it would take to learn a skill, she wouldn't have bothered asking Hella and coming over to the library to learn anything.

What she didn't know however, that there was a simpler way to learn the skill. All she needed to do was complete the library receptionist's chain quest and acquire the [Linguistic] skill book from that.

However, the process of learning the skill which granted bonus stat points to a player's stats was left out. So in a way, Maria had stumbled upon the greatest method of learning skills, which was the manual, hardworking way. 

The process of learning skills in Unitale was divided into 3, creating the skill through repeated usage or understanding, acquiring it from a skill book, and learning it through mentorship.

Maria has already experienced 2 of these methods and now she was going through the hardships of the third method. 

It was time consuming, but the rewards brought by the process of learning the skill in this way were abundant. Just from finishing [Zelundo's Basic Language Materials], Maria had gained 10 INT. 

So if she finished reading more books, then the stat bonuses she would gain would be enormous, of course, it wasn't like every book she read gave her stat points, only a select few did.

From a gamer's perspective, all that hard work was worth it. It was just like grinding for experience points, but instead this was for grinding stat points. Every addition to one's stats was a big boon. 

This was especially so since Unitale heavily relied on stats and currently, the only known way to gain stat points was through leveling up, fulfilling special quests and objectives that rewarded Free Stat Points. 

So this mentorship was an unexpectedly great find. It had to be mentioned that in order to be eligible to learn from a mentor, one needed a High Ranking NPC's recommendation and personal referral. 

In order to get that, a player needed to have high favorability with a High Ranking NPC, something that Maria had already acquired so early in the game.

High Priestess Hella practically worshipped Maria for being the Dark God's Envoy. Her favorability with the NPC was already elevated to a high value and she was still earning more through interaction and by completing her quests.

For now, only Maria had learned about this mentorship function that the NPCs provided, but she didn't understand the significance of it yet.

******

"Hey Mary, let's go questing and hunting later~" Lizzy said while the girls were eating lunch in the school's cafeteria. 

When Maria heard her, she couldn't help but cast Lizzy a sad look and say, "Sorry Liz, I can't...I'm stuck learning the [Linguistics] and [Book Keeping] skills at the library..."

"Huh? It's already been over a week and you still haven't learned it?!"

"...please don't remind me..." Maria replied in complete dejection.

Maria still hadn't earned enough proficiency to upgrade her skill to [Linguistics]. She was also only a couple of books away from completing [Study Time] and getting [Book Keeper] as well.

Even until now, Maria didn't understand what the [Book Keeping] skill was for, but since the requirement to finish the quest was to actually read ALL of the books inside the library, she could only continuing trudging forward.

She enjoyed reading the books, but whenever her friends talked about hunting and grinding their levels while at school, Maria couldn't help but feel dejected and left out. Her friends had already broken past level 50 and had already gone through their class advancement quests and upgraded their classes.

"Mary...what quest are you doing? Y'know, on the forums in the guide section, the [Linguistics] quest was fairly easy and you could practically complete it in 1 day!"

"Huh?"

Lizzy pulled out her phone and opened up the Unitale Forums. She opened up the player made guides and quickly found the [Librarian's Request] quest and showed it to Maria.

"Hm? I didn't know about this..."

"Really?"

Amanda looked at Maria and asked, "What quest are you doing right now? It's obviously not this, right?"

"Y-yeah...it's called [Study Time]..."

"[Study Time]? That's new, so who's the quest giver?"

"The Library's Director, the old geezer Zelundo!" Maria said in anger. "At first it wasn't [Study Time], instead it was something called [Learn How to Read 1], but that stupid, lying, oppressive—"

Amanda exclaimed when she heard Maria's words. "Library Director? No way! You normally wouldn't be able to meet him unless you have a high reputation and a huge amount of favorability with the Library's Receptionist!"

Maria tilted her head in confusion and said, "Really? But I met him right when I entered the library! Of course, Miss Hella was the one who brought him down to meet me and I just followed after him to the library's upper floors and he issued out a quest to me..."

"R-really? And the quest reward is [Linguistics], right?"

"Yeah, and something called [Book Keeping], not sure what that is...he also gave me the [Basic Language Mastery] which could upgrade to [Linguistics]...I just need a little bit more proficiency, but it took 3 in-game weeks just to get over 98,000 proficiency points, dammit!" Maria burst out in anger. She had been reading numerous books for the past week and hasn't been able to go out and grind some monsters.

Zelundo had basically locked her inside the library at this point. She kept complaining that it was imprisonment and a violation of human rights, but Zelundo scoffed at her and told her she wasn't even human to begin with so it didn't even matter!

By now, Maria had nearly read all the books inside the library, only a couple tens of books left before she finished the [Study Time] quest and maybe raise her [Advanced Language Mastery] to S rank. She did gain a whole bunch of INT and experience from finishing a book. The experience she gained had even leveled her up twice and her INT value had grown to an absurd amount. 

However, Maria still hadn't opened her [Status] window so she didn't know of this just yet.

"I'll probably finish later today, so I'll contact you once I'm able to leave the library!"

"Okay, that's good. By the way, you should join our guild already! We finally pooled enough funds together and we successfully created our guild!"

I had lost spirit and motivation today. That dream was still disturbed and shocked me. I didn't think the holy maiden would deceived me. I clearly remembered her words.

I couldn't take this issue lightly. She told me to be strong. She wanted me to bring justice to sinister of high living beings. But who was them? I still lacked knowledge about this world.

I need information. I need to know more. Being stupid and innocent were not my choices. I had to move.

After breakfast, I exited the inn. I made the decision to pay a visit at library in north area. I abandoned my first E rank quest again. I considered that knowledge was more important than mere achievement.

I took me 45 minutes to reach library. This was my first time to reach here. Fortunately Cara introduced me all important places in north area including the library. If not maybe I would wasted my time to search endlessly and hesitated the existence of library in this city.

This library offered free entrance to all people without charging a fee. After all, this library was managed by the city council. You can read any book that available here but you can't bring it outside from library building. They put protective spell on all books to prevent it from being stolen. Yeah, who want to steal book? A nerd guy?

The library building was medium size and had two floors. It was surrounded by many buildings. I guessed those were administration and management buildings.

I entered the library and be greeted by two librarians. They stood at front counter who prepared to attend the visitors. I greeted them back and ask something.

"Good morning, miss. Can you show me world's history section?"

"Good morning too mr. That section is on the left back, you will see the history tag on the bookshelves. What's else do you want to know?"

One of the librarians answered me. I believed she wore her white uniform for librarian.

"Is there a book about high living being?"

"Oh, you want to read about demigods? That book is also on history section."

"Thank you for your help. I will go there first."

"You're welcome. Our library is closed before night. So make sure to finish your task before that time."

Then, I walked to the back section. This building was big and it had vast space to store books and tables for guest to read here lesuirely.

I didn't see any people in here except the two librarians at the front. It was still morning and I was the first visitor today at library.

I went to the first bookshelf that had history tag on it. I searched the book which could help me understood about this world.

After five minutes, I picked up two books, 'Introduction to World's History' and 'The mightiest of Half-Deva.'

I sit at at near table and started reading these two books. I immersed myself with high focus and sense to understand the context of books.

I finished both of my reading in about three hours. Fortunately I didn't choose the thick books or I would stayed at the library until night.

From first book, there was many timelines and important events that had happened in the past. So I only focused on one chapter, the beginning of world.

Surprisingly the creation of this world same as the historians and scientists in Earth tried to describe it. The sudden mass explosion from nothingness to existence. The world was created after seven days. The reigns of gods and deities in ancient time before they vanished without reason.

The story and myth of Gaia and Earth was freaking similar. This discovery shocked me to the core and nearly freezed my mind. If we shared history, did this make Gaia was another planet that orbited in solar system, same as Earth.

But I never heard there was another planet in solar system that had been confirmed to have living beings. Among eight planets in solar system, I didn't think any of them was Gaia world.

Most logical theory that I can think of was Gaia world is one of the multiverse. I didn't really know the exact meaning of multiverse but in my definition our world shared many similarities yet so much differences.

I need to hold off this mystery first. It was not good to keep questioning if no one could answer me.

Next, the second book was about the demigods or high living beings as the holy maiden mentioned it before. These demigods were descendents of past gods and deities. They might not inherited the full power from their ancestors but they were still more powerful than normal mortal.

Most races in this world had shared blood with ancient gods. It was not weird as their origins came from those immortals. But not all people had chance to awaken the hidden power inside their blood.

This power can't merely activated by just training, you need to be born with it. Baby which was born with this divine power will be treated as sacred person. Most kingdom will make this said person as their most deadly weapon so they can win each war easily.

Not every years baby was born with divine power. It could took more than 100 years for this rare birth to appear. In every one million person, it was ever lucky to have one demigod among them.

Demigod or as certain regions called them half-deva, had long lifespans thus they could live until 500 years long.

As demigod had been treated like sacred person, this was only special case to human and other race.

Other race like demon, vampire, or beastman treated them as the chosen one. The term might sound like their savior had came to save them but the truth meaning was actually opposite to it.

They believed that the chosen one was their future leader who lead them into glorious dream to conquer and dominate over other race. They want to rule others with fear and suffering.

Each of these race considered themselves as superior race.

Demon should control over human.

Human should fear and obediently follow the vampire's rule.

Beastman was more privileged race compared to human.

All of them showed hostile behavior toward human whom they saw as weak and puny race. They can't accept the truth that the human actually had ruled over this world rather than them.

Among those claimed superior races, only beastman who got divided into two factions. First faction believed they should ruled over human and treated human as their enemy. Second faction believed they should befriended and lived in peaceful with human. Those two factions had clashed for many years for their own philosophy.

So that was why every time a demigod is born among those nasty races, it was mean war for human. Every near two centuries, they would invaded human kingdom. It could be said that human nearly went extinct if not the fact that demigods were also born within kingdom each time before war is launched toward them.

Human saw demigod as sacred person and hero to them who saved them from being wiped out from world.

Evil races saw demigod as savior who responsible to lead them win over human and conquered the world.

From the date this book was written, there was nine demigod that known exist in the world. Five of them were coming from evil races.

Honestly I didn't know if all demigod want to kill me. Obviously the ones from evil races should saw me as their foe. Those five demigods were automatically wanting to kill me.

I was uncertain if demigods from human races were also my enemy or not. That holy maiden said she wanted to help me. Maybe some of them were not evil. But I was still need to be careful around all demigods.

I doubted that I can fight them with just training for a year. I need more than that. I need the ways to become strong and powerful in short time.

If this was like video games, I already grinded my time to kill all monsters to collect experiences and leveled up. Status existed in this world. You can see your level and skills. You can own one or two classes. This world was already like RPG for me.

At least I could saw some light in my hope. I can't get depressed over this matter. I will rise after this.

After I concluded from these two books, I put them back in bookshelf and exited the library. There was still time for today. It was noon right now. Maybe I should took a quest in adventurer guild.

Who had thought that the day he did skydiving was his final day on Earth? He was not died but got transferred to another world.

How he knew? Because he got captured by Gryphon. Confused with his current situation, he need to defeat the monster and escape from that place.

Now he need to find a way how to survive in another world and if possible, return back to Earth.
