Year 19: Day 74: Split Time Zone | Day 3 of the 365 Days Part 2

(Glory City)

DING!*

Welcome to the universe of Hunter x Hunter. Player: Ragna D. Mercer and Player's wife: Yuri Ha Mercer.

Time zone: 365:1

Note: The Player and Player's wife have entered a newly created crossover dimension, with the main location being the Hunter x Hunter universe and under the territory of the [Hero Faction]. Be warned that there are rules to be followed while staying in this crossover dimension.

DING!*

The bounty on the Player: Ragna D. Mercer has been activated. All entities belong to the [Hero Faction] will be able to locate the Player.

(Unknown)

I frown, with a hint of killing intent appearing in my left eye before disappearing. As I continue to use the [Bypass Restrictions] to do the same thing I did back in the Tales of Demons and Gods to hide Yuri and me. Along with maxing out [Restriction Mastery] to level 100 as well. Unlocking all of the [Skill]'s effects for me to access.

I wrap Yuri and myself in [Sword Qi] and using the [Omega Sword Dao: Shadowless Domain] to disappear in all senses before grabbing Yuri and use [Shundo] to leave the area fast before the area is surrounding, and at worse, someone has the ability to lock down the area at all possibly mean.

I point with my left index in the opposite direction where I took off as I placed down a million of [Restrictions - Rank: Heaven] and the killing intent reappear in my left eye before disappearing again. Then, use the [Dao of Formation] and the [Dao of Numeracy] to correctly place which [Restrictions] and where along with the conditions of when it should activate.

Once that's done. I no longer look behind and soar to the sky with Yuri in my right arm, who still haven't noticed all this happening. As not even a second has passed by during the whole event happen.

A few minutes later*

DING!*

You have killed someone from the [Hero Faction].

DING!*

You are no longer part of the [Neutral Faction] and have entered the [Evil faction].

DING!*

The Title: [The Broken Player]'s unknown effects has activated and caused the Player to return back to the [Neutral Faction].

DING!*

You have killed someone from the [Hero Faction].

DING!*

You are no longer part of the [Neutral Faction] and have entered the [Evil faction].

DING!*

The Title: [The Broken Player]'s unknown effects has activated and caused the Player to return back to the [Neutral Faction].

...

I grin as I got multiple notifications and most of them are just copies of the first one. With me killing someone from either the [Hero Faction] or [Neutral Faction, then switched to the [Evil Faction]. But, due to my title: [The Broken Player]. I continue to return back to the [Neutral Faction] no matter what.

"What's with the smile, did you finally track down Ingui Yoon and Daniela?" Yuri asks me as we continue to walk in a random direction without a location in mind.

"Nah. It looks like the area where we left in a hurry have been turned into a place filled corpses now." I smirk as Yuri figure out what I meant when I explained to her a few minutes ago about why I drag her away from the area we appeared and what I have done while trying to escape to a safer location that's miles away.

Currently, we're walking through a grass field and a couple of small hills nearby. Barely any trees and wild animals in sight.

"So is that why you haven't tried to search for Ingui Yoon and Daniela yet? You just wanted to know if your trap worked or not?" Yuri asks me with a deadpan.

"Sorry, was too curious for my own good. Plus, I wanted to check on how strong those people from the [Hero Faction] in this dimension." I explain to Yuri why I haven't found Ingui Yoon and Daniela yet. "Give me a second to find them."

I start using the [Dao of Karma] to locate them via [Karma Threads] connecting between me and them.

I frown, then start using a bit more stat points to increase the power of using the [Dao of Karma] while I'm already using a good amount of [Sword Qi] to activate the [Dao of Karma] and able to get a clear image of those two's location and 'see' them in a fancy giant room, that is inside a giant tall building and something I know from watching the anime and the manga. The Heavens Arena, the fourth tallest building in the world or at least in this dimension.

"Well, I found them, after wasting some stat points and [Sword Qi]." I grunt with frustration as I had to waste such precious resources. Even if I can regain back the amount I used just now in a few days via spending time with one of my wives while doing couple events. Nevertheless, stat points are very precious and could be a great game changer if used right.

"So where are they?" Yuri wanted to reunite with those two as soon as possible, then she can begin her plan of searching for those potential overpowered main characters to be her students and gain overpowered allies in the future. After making sure to have some backup plans in case of betrayals. Yuri has read enough to tell that not all students would always stick with their masters and would kill them later on for some reasons. Mostly out of greed. Plus, she already taught another main character before, even if she didn't realize it at the time.

"In the Heavens Arena." The very moment the last word left my mouth, Yuri's body releases a heavy presence which was her [Aura] and the big smile on her face, showing she has the desire to go to the Heavens Arena.

"Let's go! Time is wasting!" Yuri pulls on my right hand, but I didn't prevent Yuri from dragging me like a rag doll and wonder how long it would take before Yuri realizes she has no idea where the Heavens Arena is and where we currently are.

A week later*

Year 19: Day 74: Split Time Zone | Day 10 of the 365 Days

(Heavens Arena: 200th Floor)

"You know, I'm starting to see why most of those powerful beings would randomly do anything to ease the boredom. Since literally almost everyone here is so weak. I've defeated all my opponents with just a simple blast of my [Aura] and knock them out cold." Yuri complaints to me as we stayed in Yuri's private room together instead of staying in a separate room, and while Yuri sits on my lap as she continues to complain. "If this wasn't enough to piss me off. The only reasons it took us an entire week to get to the 200th Floor is due to how long the line is to register and when our next matches start. If it wasn't for that, we would have long reached this floor in a single day!"

"Well, I did say you could just use this chance as a way to refine your basics. Controlling yourself and not waste any movement at all. That's what I continue to do whenever I feel like using weaker opponents as a training dummy, and no, I never did such a thing with you or the others." I said to Yuri before she opens her mouth to ask if I ever use Yuri and my other wives as training dummies. "Plus, if you had remembered, you could have trained using the [Nabong Needle Ryu] instead of pure raw power. Isn't that why you got the [Skill] in the first place?"

Yuri pout and look away. "I still have a hard time trying to use my fingers as needles. Something that is a requirement to use the [Nabong Needle Ryu] to the fullest. Not to mention I have already tried using acupuncture needles before as practice equipment to gain experience in using the [Nabong Needle Ryu] until I able to use my fingers in replacement." Yuri explains how training in the [Nabong Needle Ryu] is a lot harder than she thought and she pours in some efforts daily whenever she got spare time to do so in private.

"Huh. Well, isn't it a good thing I got the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] in the first place. I even modified it during the time we had to wait for our next matches." I took out the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] out of my [Gate of Babylon]. However, from its original appearance from before and now. The book itself is pitch black Not to mention, there is the sound of soft whisper of strangely mixed giggles at once coming from the book, that would make many people have chills just from hearing it.

Too bad this didn't effect Yuri or me. Since both of us have seen and heard things that much worse than just hearing mixed giggles. But, Yuri did look at the book with wary, though.

I send a copy of what the modified [Temporal Demon Spirit Book].

[Temporal Demon Spirit Book - Modified Version] - Rank: N/A - Durability: N/A - ATK: N/A

Description: The [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] has powerful [Inscription Patterns] engraved in it and have been heavily modified by an unknown powerful being that replaced the [Energy Source] to something else. Instead of using [Soul Force]. The [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] has been infused with [Mana] and [Dark Matter], with the latter influence the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] to become something different. But, still, keep its original abilities and with everything before it changed.

1st Effect: Gain access to the list of [Inscription Patterns] inside the book.

2nd Effect: Gain the ability to use the list of [Inscription Patterns] inside the book.

2nd Effect's Cost: Varies of either [Mana] or [Dark Matter], with the latter making the [Inscription Patterns]' effect more powerful.

3rd Effect: Gain access to the separate space within the book with time zone split from the outside and the inside of the book.

3rd Effect's Cost: Varies of either [Mana] or [Dark Matter], with an increase in the time zone split range at the price of increasing the cost rate.

4th Effect: [Temporary Contract] - Able to form a contract temporarily with someone other than the actual owner of the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book].

4th Effect's Restriction: The user is only allowed to lend the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] to one person at a time.

5th Effect: Influences of the [Dark Matter], which have some effects on certain [Inscription Patterns].

5th Effect's Requirement: Require using [Dark Matter].

"Okay, I have a few questions." Yuri finished reading the description and the effects. "How long can I stay in the separate space and is there any restrictions that not shown that I should know? Like you have to be inside with me as well?"

Bringing up my [Archive], then use [Chain Combo Magic] and include [Elemental Sight] to gain full information on the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book]. Before I could give Yuri her answers.

"If I were to apply the time I regenerate. It would be 10% [Dark Matter] per minute would give me 80:1 in time split range. However, if I were to, say using 100% [Dark Matter] in a second, then it is 200:1 instead. But, that's kind of pointless. Because in that timeframe. You'll only get over 3 minutes in that one second. Better with the former since a day outside would be 80 days inside." I replied to Yuri, who had a thoughtful look.

"And if you use [Mana]?" Yuri noticed her husband only mention the cost of using [Dark Matter] and she remembers that [Mana] could be used as well.

"Oh, using [Mana] will be a big difference. Since my [Dark Matter] no longer can be increased when I've already reached the limit on the [Dark Matter]. While [Mana], I still long before I can reach the peak of how much [Mana] I can get. Not including any [Skills] that boost my stats when I reach the limit of what my stats can reach." I know that [Dark Matter] and [Mana] are completely different in certain things. Mostly in numbers if it wasn't in percentage instead of number value.

"And right now?" Yuri looks at me with an eyebrow raise, not caring about this little detail.

"10000:1 going by 5% MP per minute." I said dully, causing Yuri to stare at me in silence for a few seconds.

"WHAT?!" Yuri shouted in shock and feeling a bit light headed.

"No need to shout." I wince at how loud Yuri is and glad my enhanced senses could be lower with just a thought, to normal human's range or I would have been rolling on the ground in pain, with my ears bleeding.

"No need to shout?! I'll shout all I want when I just hear you said that the ratio of the time flow being 10000:1!" Yuri pause for a moment to think about how long a day outside would equal to inside. "How long would it be if it's a day outside here to inside the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] going by that rate?"

"Over 27 years." I simply reply, causing Yuri to twitch.

"I see." Yuri replied in a dull tone. "I can see why you wanted to get your hands on that book." Yuri let out a sigh. "I'm not going to bother asking the time ratio if you went 100% MP per second would be."

"Okay, I won't say it then." I grin at Yuri, who playfully smack my shoulder as she too has a grin on her face.

"Anyway, since we're here. Want to find Ingui Yoon and Daniela?" I said to Yuri, as the main of point to come to the Heavens Arena was to reunite with Ingui Yoon and Daniela.

"Hmm. Honestly, I feel comfortable where I am." Yuri looks at me with a smile, then let out a sigh as she got off my lap. "But, we do need to go meet up with those two and find how they came to this dimension. After my match, that is."

"Right, today is your first match upon entering the 200th Floor." I replied.

"By the way, are you planning to use any weapons if we continue to stay in the Heavens Arena? Since we're now allowed to use weapons from this point on." Yuri asks me, "Of course, I won't. Since [Korosu] isn't something to be used in a fight that's not meant to the death."

"I guess I could use the [Hrunting Bow] or something. I'll pick whichever when the time comes." I answered Yuri's question. "Anyway, why not use the [Black Keys] I made for you or just use one of the [Empire Common Swords] I have lying around inside the [Gate of Babylon]." I got up from my seat and head out the room with Yuri, who was waiting for me to get up as well.

"I rather use the [Black Keys] to capture or prevent my enemies from leaving. Not that it would do any good against flying type enemies. As for the [Empire Common Swords]. Those breaks the very moment I just hold it." Yuri replied as she walks out of the room once her husband opens the door for her, then with both out of the room and closing the door, locking it.

"Want me to make anything from your home universe, then?" I ask Yuri since I still have all the blueprints from the Tower of God universe, or at least Yuri and Ryun's dimension of the Tower of God universe.

"Hmm." Yuri thought about it as she and her husband walk through the hallway to reach for the elevator. "Honestly, years ago. I would happily request you to make the [13 Month Series] for me, but after getting my hands on a copy of the manhwa and reading what my possible future could have been if I had stayed in my home universe and never met you. Yeah, no thanks. I rather not get possessed by a malevolent ghost just for igniting more than one of the [13 Month Series] at once. Talk about creepy, to find out an unnamed woman that resides within the [13 Month Series]. And not to mention how much a bitch that ghost is, just to torment other princesses just because she the first person who once failed the initial selection process to become a Princess of Zahard." Yuri scowl at the thought of being possessed just for the fact of wanting to use more one of the [13 Month Series].

This made Yuri feel like she needs to return to her own home dimension in the Tower of God universe and beat up Zahard for this, then curses at him after revealing how she gave birth, which was forbidden and to spit at Zahard with this fact.

"Then, I guess that's a no for the [13 Month Series]." I press the button to bring the elevator to this floor level.

"That's right. No thanks to the [13 Month Series]." Yuri already has to deal with her problem weapon, the Teigu: [Korosu] and rather not include 13 more into this. That's just asking for a disaster to happen.

"So, are you going unarmed? Going to take this chance to work on [Nabong Needle Ryu]?" I walk inside the elevator as it appears on our floor, with Yuri already inside before me. Along with the elevator operator.

"I may as well, but I'm going to need you to help me working on the basics. Can't always rely on external equipment to continue using it." Yuri said to me, before telling the elevator operator to send us the floor where all the matches take place on the 200th Floor and above.

"Don't worry, I'll help you out." I knew how powerful [Nabong Needle Ryu] is and the only thing that's stopping Yuri from even going above the basics is literally the [Nabong Needle Ryu]'s 2nd Effect, which gives the user's fingers the ability to function like needles.

Something that Yuri can't seem to be able to perform even after all the time she used to practice with the [Skill].

A few minutes later*

(Heavens Arena: 225th Floor)

-Yuri's POV-

"Today is the day of a fight that seems to be fascinating! She who defeated all her opponents without even touching them! Here, Yuri! Her opponent has gained four wins and one lost! Not to mention he has won against opponents with a single arm! Sadaso!" The Announcer shouted in excitement, causing the crowd to go wild. "Will Yuri be another fallen newcomer?! Or will she defeat her opponent today and raise to the top?!"

The referee raises both arms and shouted, "Begin!" Then, run off the stage in case of stray attacks that could hurt them.

"You should give up while you have the chance, girly." Sadaso said to me, as he let out a creepy chuckle. "Maybe if you spend some time with me after this whole thing, I may even allow you to live. Hehehe."

Now, I would usually be pissed off if someone said to me and wasn't my husband. Then I just smack them dead or something.

"How about you be worried about your only arm on the ground near your feet?" I said to my cripple opponent, who looks at me with confusion before looking down in horror, along with the crowd and others being shocked that as what I said was true.

A second later, Sadaso let out a scream of pain as where his right arm was before spurt out a large amount of blood like crazy. Soon, Sadaso slips on a small pool of his blood, causing him to fall on his side, rolling around in pain and terror.

Everyone was too shocked to know what's going on as Sadaso continue to scream.

'Okay, maybe I'm a bit angry.' I mentally said to my husband via [Archive] as he was asking me if I was pissed off by what my opponent just said to me.

"So, is this my win?" I ask the referee, who snap out at how the whole scene was done so fast that no one was able to see how Sadaso lost his only remaining arm. Now, Sadaso will have to leave his career as a fighter of the Heavens Arena, not to mention it will be extremely hard for Sadaso in his everyday life from this point on.

"The winner, Yuri!" The referee quickly rushes onto the stage and shouted at the top of their lungs while showing they're already used to this scene before, but just not so fast that no one is able to see how things occur.

The crowd started whistling, shouting, and clapping in excitement.

Of course, I detected some powerful beings watching me. Luckily, I didn't need to use any [Skills] and just pure speed and strength to defeat my opponent. Therefore, I didn't reveal much to everyone other than I'm very fast and strong.

Walking away, as I got off the stage and head to find Ragna. While trying to search for any future opponents among the crowd within my field of sight, not moving my head as I continue to leave the arena. Also, checking if either Ingui Yoon and Daniela are among the crowd or not.

-Ragna's POV-

'Well, it looks like not many showed up.' I thought to myself, as I found 30 people from the [Hero Faction] watching Yuri's match and 17 people from the [Neutral Faction]. Zero from the [Evil Faction]. Honestly, I don't think there a single person from the [Evil Faction] in this dimension. Well, people that know they are from the three factions, that is. Then, there are plenty of people from the [Evil Faction]; nevertheless, I only count those that are aware they're members of the three factions.

'Hmm. Neither Ingui Yoon or Daniela hasn't come, so I guess they don't put any attention to newcomers' matches.' I thought to myself, as I 'see' the both of them still in that giant fancy room, which was literally on the 251st Floor.

Sure, I could just appear where they are now, but that would draw more attention towards me and those two. However, I'm starting to have another thought about it.

Moving towards the location where I'm going to reunite with Yuri while under the effects of [Ninjutsu] to prevent others from seeing me in plain sight, aka their own eyes. Don't have to worry about people using [Nen] to see through my [Ninjutsu] as all those barriers I created with [Bypass Restrictions] would block all detection easily enough.

A few minutes later*

"Got any thoughts on what timeline we're in the Hunter x Hunter?" I ask Yuri, seeing how she faced one of those extra characters and I could roughly guess the timeline, but not too sure. Since Gon and Killua aren't in the Heavens Arena yet or have already left.

"If I remember correctly, the person I faced was supposed to be Killua's opponent and should have been long gone due to Killua threaten him. Therefore, I would say we in the timeline, where both Gon and Killua hasn't arrived at the Heavens Arena or at least register yet." Yuri did a quick guess and trying to recall the memories of reading the Hunter x Hunter. "No clue about the exact date, though. Just know we're not in the Heavens Arena Arc yet. For all we know, we may be months away before that arc begin."

"Then, I guess we don't have to worry about that then. Seeing how we're here for Ingui Yoon and Daniela mostly." I said to Yuri, "So you have any idea of drawing their attention towards us or what?" I grin at how many people are searching for Yuri, but failing due to the fact that I hide her under the effects of [Ninjutsu] as well, the very moment she within a couple of steps away from me.

"We could just go to where they are right now or we could just throw something at them, letting them know we're here." Yuri smirk at the last option. "I say we should do the latter and see what their reactions would be."

I sweatdrop at Yuri, then started worrying about how Yuri may cause more mayhem in this dimension. Before remembering this is the dimension that was created by someone from the [Hero Faction] and decided not to worry about it anymore.

"Actually, I got an idea we could do." I smirk at the idea I just came up with, looking at Yuri as we continue to walk around. "We're going to draw attention no matter what in this dimension. So, how about we draw in more. In fact, you may even face stronger opponents in large numbers."

Yuri raises an eyebrow, "And your idea is?"

"We're going to turn Heavens Arena into a huge battlefield. Sure, there already fights, but that under regulation. Why not change that? By taking control of the Heavens Arena." I start explaining my plan to Yuri, where she slowly becomes excited, but a hint of concern.

"But, won't this cause danger to both Ingui Yoon and Daniela?" Yuri asks me, "I don't know how strong they have gotten since we last met. Not to mention if they had gained [Nen] while they stayed in this dimension."

"No worry." I wave off Yuri's concerns within reasons, "After all, they should be rushing to us by the time things begin. If not, I can just use [Cleave Sword Intent: Short Cut] to teleport to their location."

"I honestly forgot that you can teleport." Yuri blinks her eyes before pouting, "Talk about unfair. I don't think I have anything that gives me teleportation."

"You do know, you can via [Elemental Teleportation], right?" I said to Yuri, where I am starting to wonder if any of my wives that gained the [Slayer Magic] had really gone through all the knowledge come with it. Because [Elemental Teleportation] is inside the [Skills] for my wives to learn and even modify them to suit their needs. With the latter would take them some time to do while the former would just a bit easier since it has my experience on how to perform the [Elemental Teleportation].

"There's such a thing?" Yuri looks at me with a dumbfounded expression. "Since when?!"

And like that, Yuri answered my unspoken question if she and maybe the other had really gone through all the knowledge provided to them the very moment I gave them their [Slayer Magic].

Then again, I experiment with those [Slayer Magic] and tried random things that just pop up in my mind to see if it work or not, even checking if it's worth keeping. Therefore, some were discarded, but were kept inside the [Skill]'s database aka memories and experiences. So, there are lots of things my wives could do with the [Slayer Magic] by studying all the experiments I have done over the years with those [Slayer Magic], with only Esdeath having the least.

As I haven't used the [Ice Devil Slayer Magic] much, but I made sure to include some part of the other [Slayer Magic] into the one for Esdeath to study and try to see if it work for her. Same with Alice for her [Shadow God Slayer Magic].

Either way, it has been over 7 years now since I gave them the [Slayer Magic]. I expected them to know about the [Elemental Teleportation] by now or even remember the time I used the [Elemental Teleportation]; well, at least Esdeath, Yuri, and Ryun should have known about it. I can understand Alice and Raven not knowing about it since I never used [Elemental Teleportation] in their presence, but those three should have. Since I used it sometime during our time in the Tower of God universe.

"Did you or the others even go through all the knowledge in the [Skills] I gave you girls? Most of the answers to some of your questions should be in the knowledge. You just have to search through them." I said to Yuri with a deadpan on my face. As I'm starting to think that the problem with Yuri not being able to use the [Nabong Needle Ryu]'s 2nd Effect is because she didn't 'read' the memory on how I use my fingers as needles and must have just stopped and experiment through trial and error.

"Hey, not all of us are broken like you. Do you have any idea how much knowledge is in those [Skills] you gave us?" Yuri pokes my chest with her left index finger. "Lots and I'm just happy my brain didn't explode from all the knowledge you shove into my head instantly. As most of the memories and experience turned into a very detailed version that explains things. Things that make my head hurt sometimes."

I raise an eyebrow at this, not knowing that my [Bypass Restrictions] would convert my memories and experiences into a detailed version of how things are done.

"Here is an example. One of the [Basic Spells] of the [Storm God Slayer Magic] is the [Storm God's Bellow]. You breathe in, then you breathe out a storm that causes devastating damage. However, there are a lot of things needed to be done. One of the things I needed to do is to gather my [Aura] within my lungs while converting [Aura] into lightning, wind, and water and merge them together to form the storm element. All done in a matter of seconds or less than a second." Yuri let out a sigh, "Just that alone cause me problems as my lungs feels like being shocked, cut, and crushed. All at once. So you can see why I'm having problems with some if not all my [Skills] I gained from you."

"Oh." I blink my left eye, "I guess you're right. We do need to have a talk like we used to do before we had kids." I nod my head. "Right. After we're finished with our business here in this dimension. We'll do just that with everyone else. But, for now. You want me to help you out with [Storm God Slayer Magic] or you got that cover?"

"Nah, no need on the [Storm God Slayer Magic]. All I need is to make sure I don't kill myself in the process while using it. Something that easily can be done with your [Wonderland]. It's the [Skill: Nabong Needle Ryu] that I need help with the most." Yuri inform me as we took a turn to the right and ignoring a few running passed us.

"Alright, once we start the first phase of the plan. We'll go into the [Temporal Demon Spirit Book] and work on the [Nabong Needle Ryu] before the big battle." I said to Yuri, as we head back to our room. Where we, as in me, will prepare to start off the whole big event.
