[130] Foreigner

Name: Zhang Jue

Class: Foreigner

Strength: B

Endurance: E-

Agility: C

Mana: EX

Luck: ?

Noble Phantasm: EX

Geomagnetic Earth Evil: A

With the power of the mind, driven by the flow of electricity, you manipulate the geomagnetic field, constantly constructing a stronghold around you. The more abundant the energy, the stronger your power becomes.

Your existence poses a strong threat to magical constructs built by others.

Divine Incantation: A

Through training with a certain witch, you have obtained outstanding vocal skills, making your incantations and prayers highly effective. Not only can you recite Western Magecraft, but you can also chant various Philosophy Magecraft. Through prayer, you can even borrow the power of higher beings.

The Way of the Great Peace: EX

Blood sacrifice, corpse refining, spirit summoning, offering to the heavens, puppet manipulation...

Adhering to the vision of peace, you are seen by future generations as a source of calamity and demonic practices, targeted for criticism by countless emperors and generals throughout history.

Combining Western Magecraft, Philosophy Magecraft, Arcane Arts, and various modern knowledge, you are able to establish your own magical legacy.

Your resistance to Philosophy Magecraft is greatly reduced, and you can even create your own Philosophy Key because, as the one who has sublimated the Counter Force and suppressed chaos and disasters for two thousand years, you possess one of the highest authorities in this land.

Pure Heart - Gate of Bewilderment and Clarity: ?

The Pure Heart, transforming from chaos to form, form to substance, yet still formless, is called the Pure Heart.

As the one who unites all, you, with your ambiguous nature, possess the characteristics of a high-dimensional life form.

You can disturb everything in the world from a high-dimensional perspective, an ability that cannot be defended against or understood, appearing to others as inexplicable and mystical.

However, using your Pure Heart's abilities will also deplete the abundant energy, making it very difficult to achieve god-like effects in the modern environment, perhaps requiring a sufficient supply of magical energy sources.

Forgetfulness: ?

Develops the truth while forgetting the false.

The more people believe in your lies, the more fantasy powers you can draw from them. When even the outer entities are fooled by you, the power of your fantasy is enough to deceive an entire world.

Master of Fate: ?

The outer entities from beyond the records always keep an eye on you. For this world, and for countless alternate worlds, their enigmatic nature makes them the most incomprehensible beings.

They say they want to see Sima Yi fall from grace, just to amuse you.

Nine-section Staff: EX

There has never been a celestial staff.

It's just a rotten, gnawed clean dead branch.

Only when you grasp it does it become a staff of nine sections.

They will always wait for you, waiting for a world where people are well-fed, well-clothed, and free from disease, where the vision of world peace is truly realized.

All it takes is your call.

The Yellow Turban Army will respond.

Under the yellow sky, even the immortals retreat.

Hi there, the author is here!

Question everything, keep questioning!

Without questioning, you can't stop to think, and without stopping to think, you can't reconcile with yourself.

This volume is finished, the final word is written. I'm curious about your thoughts. I understand that reactions might be mixed, some will dislike it intensely, while others may particularly enjoy it.

This is my issue as the author, and I won't shy away or deny it.

In the comments, some readers have made fair points.

It's misaligned.

Because the style shifted dramatically, many found it hard to adapt. It's like suddenly changing from selling snacks to selling medicine... both are good, but many people didn't come for medicine.

Before I started writing, I thought everyone would enjoy this style. This represents a clear misalignment in taste, and it's something I need to reflect on.

So, as you might have noticed, I quickly adjusted the level of craziness in the later parts.

Originally, I had prepared many intense scenes meant to break conventions, high-dimensional montage combat narratives, perspective switches, and indescribable descriptions related to folklore about evil spirits. All of this was meticulously researched. But in the end, I toned it down.

However, toning it down doesn't mean abandoning it.

If you ask me how I feel about this volume, personally, I am very satisfied. I truly believe I wrote this volume in the best state possible (in my opinion).

I even feel it surpasses the first volume, though many readers might not agree.

Though I didn't follow the planned path of using an intense style to bring more emotional impact to the character of Reinhard, I reconciled with myself. I presented the story about Reinhard completely, capturing the style and spirit of this volume.

It's about idealism.

Reinhard claims not to deceive himself, but as you all may have noticed, he's just being stubborn. He deceives even himself, deceives you, deceives the peddlers, deceives the entire world.

But he never deceives those who call him a good master, he never deceives the ideal of those willing to sacrifice for peace.

This is also the anchor of the trickster: humans live in fiction. When enough people believe in a fictional guideline, it becomes a consensus and ideal worth striving and sacrificing for.

A cataclysmic change for a noble cause.

Woohoo! Pop the champagne!

So, I apologize for being a bit self-indulgent.

I feel I gave it my all in this volume. Whether you found it unsatisfactory or unpalatable, I am content with it, reconciled with myself, and believe I delivered the standard I aimed for. Moving forward, I might not be as wild.

This volume paid homage to many elements, but at its core, it was still about Reinhard's story, with a high level of intensity that many readers found hard to adapt to.

I apologize, it's my fault.

So, why make such a drastic change in style, which is laborious and often thankless?

It's actually about anticipation.

This might sound a bit presumptuous, but as a group, many readers don't really know what they want to read.

Simply put, everyone enjoys a good book.

Online literature, as a commodity, is contrary to traditional literature. It needs to keep readers hooked, and at its root, it's about maintaining anticipation.

You might feel the writing is good, but sometimes, you lose interest while reading.

Essentially, it's a loss of anticipation.

Therefore, I always strive to offer something new, as creativity knows no bounds, to keep this sense of anticipation alive. This was a major reason for the change in style in this volume.

It should be exciting when it needs to be, subtle when it should be. Writing serves the plot, so I added a bit of madness to change things up... but maybe I added too much!

As we all know, achieving peak engagement from the start is rare, and it's challenging to keep increasing readership and engagement. There are only a handful of books that manage this.

To be blunt, being at the top is tough. I really want to step down, but... well (smug stance).

The fact that there's still this level of activity after tens of thousands of words... honestly, I'm extremely flattered. I should be grateful to all of you.

Thank you for your support, thank you so much 🥵.

The useless motherfuckers(outer entities), shower me with blessings, pour it in, pour it in 🥵.

Make Reinhard fall from grace, send him out to entertain everyone 😋.

Don't go wild here 🐢👇⚡!

Now, back to the topic.

The emotional storyline involving Yu Mei-ren was really my best effort (even neglecting our chubby fox for it), but it got severely countered reactions, ending in a complete freeze. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Always focusing on our grumpy old tree without broadening the perspective, given the atmosphere, this vampire can only carry her regret for two thousand years, with no one to love her.

Teasing her was a journey of emotional change... not only for Yu Mei-ren but also for Reinhard.

For Reinhard, Yu Mei-ren is a bewitching poppy, initially avoided because poppies symbolize poison.

But Reinhard loves toxic things, it's natural to want to pluck them.

After plucking and teasing her, he realized that this lonely poppy is endearing and slowly kissed her.

In the end, feeling guilty, Reinhard left. He didn't know she had this hidden side. He could return and stay with the poppy, but he wouldn't choose that.

Everyone knows what he would choose.

The poppy remains alluring, but the one who loved it has gone.

Alas, Yu Mei-ren, what now?

For Yu Mei-ren, she initially had a subconscious desire to kill Reinhard, mistaking it for affection. Her feelings were twisted, and Reinhard teased her.

Later, she truly fell for him, but couldn't suppress her killing intent, pursuing pleasure in a twisted way because she's DIO! who doesn't understand human emotions. By this stage, she had developed a dependency.

When Reinhard was at his lowest, she finally suppressed her killing intent and understood what love is. The pitiful girl just wanted to hold onto the young man, but she couldn't do anything, left only with lifelong regret.

She might feel like a useless little dog, but that's okay because Reinhard loves keeping little dogs.

This volume also features another popular and satisfying emotional storyline: Sima Yi.

Reinhard's charm can turn even bad men into bad women, it's inevitable.

From emotions to propriety.

He lived and died for his friends, but now, Sima Yi is a heroic spirit.

Found the reason for clinging to a woman! Sima Yi is coming to GANK you hard!

Reines gets to win by lying down.

Speaking of which.

Alvin lived to 18, Kratos to 15.

Zhang Jue lived to 17...

Understood, Slaanesh Reinhard lived to 9!

Is it the younger ones? Is it?

Though people often slander me as an irredeemable bad fetish(if you know, you know) enthusiast, I can only say... you're right.

Small ones are cute too, it's okay. Medea, you've tried your best 🤗, I'll make you bigger.

Ta-da.

Up next is the long-awaited... next volume on the Slaanesh theme.

The upcoming Slaanesh Reinhard is the most difficult Reinhard.

It is expected to be the longest volume, as there will be a longer, real-world storyline outside the simulation.

Warning: High-energy content ahead.

There will be a lot of "plot," if you know, you know, as well as various interactions among women including hair-pulling, love displays, persecution, teasing, evil schemes, and PUA...

Although it is a Slaanesh theme, there won't be overly explicit descriptions. For the truly explicit parts... perhaps they will appear in side stories when the time is right.

So, the developer conference content in the next volume is extremely, exceedingly, and extraordinarily excessive.

Reinhard's madness will increase by 400%!

Therefore, consider this a prior warning: if you're not into it, proceed with caution.

Although I say this, no one understands you, a group of useless motherfucker, better than the author.

A warning? Insist on visiting!

Insist on visiting! Insist on visiting! Insist on visiting!

No excess, no watch!

Tsk...

About the upcoming storyline, it seems I mentioned it before, but let's recap.

Why is Morgan a god?

Before discussing this, the author wants to talk about the other defeated characters who haven't tasted the flavor of flesh yet and how they compare to our witch.

First is our Ahoge King, who committed the sin of pride.

She thought acting like a onee-chan would earn Reinhard's favor. Why rush things? It would have been better to directly in.

Relying on widespread blackened human hearts, she thought she could win over Reinhard. This arrogant knight king is destined to be strung along by Reinhard, sticking out her tongue and watching "plot" scenes every day, wagging her tail, hoping for a bit of her sister's grace leaking through her fingers.

The author's evaluation is that she's not as quick as Gudako and Moedred, even running in the opposite direction.

You still think I have feelings for you? Where's my Reinhard?

A million words in, finally getting to the meat, how delightful.

Next, the Holy Grail War arc is quite lengthy (though it's a fake Grail War), where Artoria is persecuted, Moedred is loved, and the golden bigboss is squeezed.

Then there's Arcueid, who committed the sin of wrath.

As a True Ancestor of the planet, she can't control her killing nature. Seeing Reinhard, she can't help but chase him down and split him into seventeen pieces, prompting Reinhard to deliver his punishment: a night of continuous dehydration, seventeen times, a stricter punishment than Yu Mei-ren's, leading her to rebel against Gaia.

What, Gaia rebels later too? Then never mind.

Roughly a plot where the princess splits Reinhard into seventeen pieces only to get counterattacked in the end.

Next is Merlin, who committed the sin of sloth.

Lazing around in Avalon every day, seeking fun everywhere, responding to calls, and then turning pale when the root-reaching Reinhard arrives, getting caught firmly.

Then there's Sima Yi, who committed the sin of envy.

Repeatedly teased by Reinhard, envious of those who get the flesh, his heart already fallen but body not yet, this sickly femboy has never tasted flesh. Now he's going to try possessing a certain blonde losser and try the backdoor raid.

Damn, Reines wins by lying down, getting to the end directly? Artoria has something to say about that!

There will be a segment of modern storyline after Reinhard wakes up, including an epilogue for Yu Mei-ren, Xu Fu, and the chubby fox, but the author hasn't decided if they should come to fight for the meat.

Gudako, who committed the sin of greed.

All Hail Chaotic Evil Gudako!

As everyone knows, appearances should either be beautiful or strong. How could there possibly be someone both strong and beautiful?

Seeing that Reinhard is both strong and beautiful, one would covet and attempt to draw him, pouring Holy Grails into him to lavish love. This desperate desire to kiss the chaotic evil master is usually referred to as the ultimate submissive path. Without Reinhard even needing to dehydrate, she would dehydrate him dozens of times.

Gudako is quick, really quick.

Gudako will have an important role in the Slaanesh Volume, let's keep it a secret for now.

And now...

Morgan, who committed the sin of gluttony.

Morgan: "Huh? Why am I sinful too?"

Because the witch who desperately wanted to devour Reinhard has already lost to her past self. Once able to battle for three days and nights without leaving the bed, savoring the taste of Alvin, now she rolls her eyes in less than half an hour and has to seek external help, reduced to a combat power unit mob.

Morgan: "Hence, you all will ultimately be concubines."

At least she still lasts half an hour, better than Artoria.

So who has the strongest combat power?

Artoria: :(

Reinhard hasn't kissed the witch in 200,000 words, misses her.

Actually, Morgan dives into bed for three meals a day, plus self-service afternoon tea, and even if she faints in the simulation, she can't escape. This might be why Reinhard often feels weak.

Lastly, Another Morgan, who committed the sin of lust.

As the Queen of Faerie Britain, she covets a husband, neglecting national affairs, flooding her palace daily, always looking drained as if Reinhard has sapped her energy.

Ash, what's with that expression? Do you think chanting another's husband's name every day will save Britain? Do you still look like a queen?

Since that's the case, Reinhard must personally replenish your energy.

Morgan, you still have two daughters, don't you?

It's roughly the story of Reinhard and Morgan going to Faerie Britain to take care of daughters and bully another Morgan.

That's pretty much the daily routine. The Slaanesh Volume isn't set on a timeline, not historical Rome nor Holy Rome, but rather a pan-Roman alternate history.

It's roughly about Slaanesh Reinhard as a concubine assisting (pouring energy into) a certain beast nun, bullying the Chaldea.

But....

I am currently still working on the plan for this volume, so there will be a hiatus for the time being.

And I hope you will look forward to this next volume entitled:

The Tyrant's Pleasure.

---

Oh yes, I also want to inform you that while waiting for the hiatus to prepare for the next volume, I am currently working on a new project that is very promising and interesting, which I am sure will not disappoint all of you. If you are interested in reading more, you can visit my page. I will include the description of the new project below:

Aiden is your average otaku who unfortunately becomes an isekai victim due to the destruction caused by a certain alien and a certain bald man whose influence on him is for unknown reasons. In his grief and despair at being the sole survivor among more than seven billion humans, he can only try to survive in a rabbit hole where the gods pretend to live like humans.

But fortunately, he has a glimmer of hope in this terrifying rabbit hole. He gains the bloodline of a certain demon hunter, which helps him maintain his small life in this dreadful rabbit hole and embark on the Demon Hunter Bizarre Adventure.

[1] Isekai Victim

At two in the morning, a profound silence enveloped the surroundings. It was a night of darkness and howling winds, a night fit for murder and arson.

[Nami is the number one girl in the world!]

[Get real, Big Mom is the best one!]

[Robin is the best girl in the world!]

[Only kids choose between options, adults want it all.]

[I have one thing to say, please listen carefully: it's now two in the morning.]

[Go to sleep, your dog life matters.]

[How dare a village bumpkin like you engage in a battle of wits here?]

[Wake the hell up and get high.]

...

[Even if I die suddenly, nailed in my coffin, I will shout out with these decaying vocal cords in the grave... 'Fuck your useless waifu!']

Watching a group of men of cultures still active in the chat group, Aiden's lips curled slightly upwards. With agile fingers, he tapped out a message.

[Go to sleep, adults should know they can't have everything. Might as well wash up and dream, you can have anything in dreams. Goodnight.]

[Goodnight.]

[Goodnight.]

Setting down his now dimmed phone, Aiden, who had spent the night grinding saint quartz, unsurprisingly harvested nothing. He soon drifted into a deep slumber, venturing into the realm of dreams with a beautiful maid.

When Aiden was traveling in the land of Morpheus, suddenly the previously tranquil sky tore open, a rift appearing in space. A terrifying energy emanated from it along with a domineering and evil voice echoing faintly, "That's right, just like this, Saitama. This is what makes it worth it for me, Boros, the Dominator of the Universe, to defeat you! Energy release! Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!"

Under the sudden appearance of the collapsing star roaring cannon for unknown reasons, this blue planet without the caped baldy hero had no reaction time whatsoever, let alone any power to stop it. In the next moment, the sky collapsed, the earth split, plateaus were leveled, seas evaporated, and the entire crust was utterly destroyed.

Shortly after, in the dust-covered sky devoid of stars, several more spatial rifts appeared. Accompanied by intense wind pressure, a silver light streaked across the sky, descending upon the blazing surface of the earth.

[Detecting planetary location, searching for targets. Target detection complete, no sapient beings found.]

[Detecting spiritual entities, confirming species. Species confirmed, S250 Universe, Sector 233 of the Milky Way Galaxy, the third planet of the Orion Arm, Homo Erectus spiritual entity.]

[Detecting target soul, soul strength meets minimum standards, soul binding initiated, soul binding successfully.]

[Scanning residual information on the planet's surface, scanning host soul.]

[Information scan complete, transitioning existence.]

[Transition complete, new form: System.]

[Initiating system implantation, system implantation successful, activating system.]

[Locking in trans-dimensional coordinates, initiating multi-universe traversal.]

...

In the night-shrouded labyrinth city Orario.

A black-haired youth lay inexplicably at the corner of the street. His skin was fair, his frame slender, his chest rising and falling rhythmically.

Yet, this abrupt appearance of a youth did not draw anyone's attention. Pedestrians passing by didn't stop or glance his way, as if there was no one lying there. Yet, there seemed to be some mysterious force enveloping the young man, granting him an enhanced version of Kato Megumi's talent, rendering him utterly inconspicuous.

Time passed, unmarked.

Hungry!

So hungry!

"So hungry, I'm really hungry~"

Aiden felt his stomach growling emptily, his organs echoing feeding songs, each verse more intense than the last.

"Damn, what time is it now? How could I be so hungry? Didn't I set my alarm for 10:30?"

In a daze, Aiden struggled to fight off sleep, slowly raising his hands and rubbing his eyes. Without opening them, his left hand subconsciously reached for his non-existent glasses.

"Hmm... Where are my glasses? Why does the feel of my cabinet seem different?"

In a half-awake state, Aiden couldn't help but open his eyes, still filled with a hazy sense of drowsiness.

"Wow... What a beautiful starry sky."

"I'm not wearing glasses, yet everything seems so clear?"

"And, shouldn't I be looking at the ceiling?"

"Hmm... I must still be dreaming."

After a moment of contemplation, Aiden decided to ignore his protesting stomach and go back to sleep.

A few seconds later, a gentle breeze brushed past, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Did I kick off the blanket?"

Aiden reached down with his right hand to pull the blanket over his stomach, but all he felt was air. He had to rub his eyes vigorously with both hands, struggling to open them. When he finally did, he saw his hands, fair and slender, without a single scar.

The drowsiness vanished instantly from Aiden's mind, replaced by shock as he blurted out, "What the hell?"

"What's going on? Why am I so pale? And the scars on my hands are gone. Where am I now?"

With a bewildered expression, Aiden sat up with his hands on the ground, shifting his gaze away from his hands.

Not far away, amidst the European medieval-style buildings, pedestrians in various colorful costumes with various weapons passed by, as if attending a cosplay event. Aiden looked utterly confused.

A girl dressed as an adventurer, with furry ears on her head and a furry tail above her buttocks, walked by hand in hand with her companion, chatting and laughing.

"Huh?! Is she a catgirl?"

"Wait, are they speaking Japanese?!"

Aiden immediately drew a conclusion.

Another girl in mage robes passed by.

"These pointed ears... are they elves?!"

He subconsciously thought he was still dreaming, so he pinched his thigh hard with his right hand, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind.

"Damn, that hurts! This isn't a dream. Okay, deep breaths. Don't panic, don't panic. Start counting primes... wait, what are primes? Damn, why did I give back all the math to the teacher when I was only in my second year? Pull yourself together! Is this the time to think about this stuff? Calm down!"

Aiden gently slapped his cheeks with both hands, trying to steady his racing thoughts.

"First things first, this clearly isn't my room. And those 'cosplayers' are speaking Japanese."

He put his hands down, softly stroking himself while carefully observing his own body.

"Secondly, my skin is flawless, like a newborn baby's. Even the little bit of belly fat is gone. Did I reincarnate? Or did my soul transfer? So, my consciousness is in a different body now?"

"Thirdly, I'm dressed so freely, yet these people don't seem to react at all. It's like they can't see me, or is it normal for them? Am I invisible? Or am I dead? No, if I were dead, it wouldn't feel so real, and I wouldn't be damn hungry."

"And judging from the architectural style and the pedestrians here, this isn't Rukongai from Bleach, let alone Seiretei."

Aiden's hands trembled slightly as he came to an unbelievable conclusion, "So, I get isekai'd? And I get isekai'd into a Japanese-style parallel world?"

He tried to suppress his fear of the unknown and started analyzing, "So, where exactly is this? I haven't watched much isekai anime, and it might not necessarily be anime, it could be a light novel, manga, or game that I've never heard of."

"Dwarves, elves, and humans living together in harmony is not unusual... first, rule out No Game No Life, then Zero no Tsukaima, and finally Fairy Tail. Is it Re:Zero? Isekai Smatrphone? Tensura? Danmachi? Or Konosuba?"

"There are too many possibilities. What the fuck, with just these, I can't determine which world this is. I can only pray it's not a chaotic parallel world which is war-torn."

"And the most crucial question now is, why did I get isekai'd?!"

---

What do you think? If there is a lot of enthusiasm for this project, I will try to speed it up to catch up with my other projects.
