Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The first time he and Emilia came to the slums, Emilia felt that a battle might break out, and because Natsuki Subaru's combat strength was too weak, she was worried that he would be in danger, so she refused his offer to continue following.

Disheartened by the rejection, Subaru Natsuki did not give up. Instead, he planned to find the local black market before Emilia, hoping to impress her.

Then, as expected, he died. Although he found a place to sell the stolen goods, he was killed by Rom, a giant, who mistook him for a suspect.

In fact, the owner of the stolen goods shop, Mr. Rom, did not initially intend to kill Natsuki Subaru. He only thought that Natsuki Subaru's clothes were strange and his behavior was suspicious, so he planned to knock him out and ask him what was going on.

But who knew that Subaru Natsuki, being an otherworldly being, was so fragile, and with Rom being a giant, that one blow was enough to kill Subaru instantly...

As the title says, it's not unreasonable for me to take a day off on the first day of the Lunar New Year to visit relatives, right? I'll resume updating tomorrow (Д)」

Chapter 338 Subaru Natsuki: You're a transmigrator too!

(Happy New Year everyone! (▽｀))

After being killed by Rom, Subaru Natsuki triggered the "Time Reversal" ability for the first time, and it was during this time that he discovered his cheat ability.

Subaru Natsuki, who restarted the storyline, became even more cautious this time.

And by using his excellent eloquence and social skills, he successfully gained Rom's trust this time and met Felt, the blonde girl who stole Emilia's badge.

While the three were waiting, they also encountered the instigator who had hired Felt to steal Emilia's badge: a beautiful mature woman wearing a daringly low-cut black dress, black stockings, and a violet flower in her hair.

At first, Natsuki Subaru thought that such a beautiful and charming older sister couldn't possibly be a bad person.

However, he soon realized just how cruel and perverted this woman in black stockings was...

The woman in black stockings is named Elsa Gransilt, a notorious assassin with the terrifying nickname "Gut Hunter."

Elsa hired Felt to steal Emilia's badge, but she never intended for anyone who knew the truth to live.

So the final outcome was quite obvious: all three members of the stolen goods shop, including Natsuki Subaru, ultimately died at Elsa's hands.

Although the other party was a beautiful older woman in black stockings, she was a top-notch assassin.

Even Rom and Felt from the giant race were completely powerless against him, and as for Subaru Natsuki... needless to say.

This was Natsuki Subaru's second death. Because he died later than the first time, Wood was able to run to a more distant place at that time.

As for the third time, Natsuki Subaru wanted to save time by taking a shortcut to the slums, but he encountered thugs blocking his way and a conflict ensued.

In the end, Natsuki Takashi was outnumbered and was beaten to death by the thugs before he could even go to the stolen goods store.

This is why Wood stayed in the city for the third time and felt that the "time reversal" had started earlier.

The last "time rewind," which was just now the fourth time, was when Natsuki Subaru felt he had figured out the tricks of a few thugs.

He believed that even if he couldn't beat the "Gut Hunter," he could definitely handle a few thugs.

After successfully taking down several thugs, he was surprised to find that they were carrying daggers.

So, Natsuki Subaru, who had his kidney ripped out from behind by the thugs, eventually collapsed in a pool of blood and died once again...

The four consecutive deaths even began to instill fear in Natsuki Subaru, making him want to give up.

Although his cheat code prevents him from actually dying, the fear and pain that come with each death are very real.

The incident with Rom was alright, since it was a one-hit kill, but the incident with "Gut Hunter" was a nightmare for Natsuki Subaru.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen the color and shape of his own intestines, and it has to be said that Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but tremble when he recalled the situation.

Torn between the fear of death and the allure of a stunning silver-haired girl, the perverted spirit ultimately prevailed after only a moment's hesitation.

This time, Natsuki Subaru had already planned it out. As long as he arrived at the stolen goods shop a step ahead and informed Rom and Felt of the danger of the "Bowel Hunter," he could avoid contact with them.

As for the few thugs in the alley, after two failed attempts, Natsuki Subaru was confident that he would succeed this time.

However, when Natsuki Subaru quickly arrived at the alley leading to the slums, following the route he remembered, and was about to show off his skills and take down the three thugs,

But he found an unexpected person in the alley, and the thugs who had previously harassed him were now unconscious and lying on the side.

"Young man from another world, so can you tell me that the four previous instances of time reversal and reset were all because of you?"

When Natsuki Subaru saw Wood suddenly appear here, he was about to ask why, but Wood's first words almost made him drop his jaw!

You know, although he was dressed in "strange clothes", he never told anyone that he was a time traveler. And Wood, whom he originally thought was a native, actually knew about "time travelers". Doesn't that mean that the other party was also a time traveler?

I'm not the only protagonist in this world; the blond heartthrob in front of me is also from another world!

Furthermore, his ability "Return by Death" doesn't seem to have had any effect on the opponent so far.

In this world, it seems that the memories of other people are also reset after they "return by death". But since Wood in front of him can remember that he has "returned by death" four times, doesn't that mean that he, like him, has retained the memories before his return by death?

Subaru Natsuki had previously felt that his ability was rather useless, as it not only failed to directly increase his combat power, but also required his own death to activate.

Now, he suddenly felt that this ability was even more of a rip-off. He never expected that he was not the only beneficiary of his ability. This blond handsome guy, Wood, was also able to retain his memories before "Return by Death" just like him. Didn't that mean he lost his super advantage of being able to "foresee the future" on his own?

"You're a time traveler too? Then what are your abilities? Could it be that you also have the ability to die...?"

Natsuki Subaru originally wanted to reveal his abilities, but as the words were about to come out, he suddenly felt a suffocating sensation in his body, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.

Natsuki Subaru could sense that if he continued talking, he would definitely die!

However, through this incident, he discovered that to activate his ability "Return by Death," he didn't necessarily have to be killed by someone; he could achieve the ability "Return by Death" by courting death in this way.

"I am not a time traveler. Although you may not believe it, I am indeed a native of this world. Well... compared to others, I may be a bit special."

The roles assigned to a life simulation system are usually those that already exist in this world, so Wood's statement isn't too problematic.

However, Natsuki Subaru at this moment regarded Wood as a so-called "reincarnated person," which is another type of transmigrator. Only the soul transmigrated, while he transmigrated with his body.

"Just as you said, my ability as a transmigrator is death... well, the kind of ability you understand."

"So what about your abilities? Although we're not the same type of transmigrator, you must have acquired some special abilities, right?"

Previously, Natsuki Subaru had always regarded Wood as a stepping stone or a supporting character, but now the facts have shown him that he is not the only protagonist.

Moreover, compared to herself, the handsome guy in front of her was good-looking, rich, and seemed to have some fighting skills. She might be the so-called supporting character.

"As a native of this world, I do not possess any special abilities. Even if I do, they are acquired through my own training, not bestowed upon me by any so-called deity."

But now that we've discovered the problem, could you please not die so easily?

Because every time you die, it causes a lot of trouble for other people.

The other guys are one thing, since their memories are reset too, but for me, repeatedly doing the same thing is truly insane!

Wood had considered killing Natsuki Subaru to end the matter once and for all, but the problem was that the guy's ability was too troublesome; once he died, his ability would be activated again.

If Wood were to imprison the other person somewhere, he would have to take care of him, because if the other person starved to death or something else happened, the power of 'Return by Death' would still be activated.

"Do you think I want to die?! The point is, we're all protagonists who transmigrated to another world, so why are my abilities so useless? I can't even beat a few ordinary thugs, you know?"

Before knowing that Wood was a special being, things were fine, but after learning that Wood was something like a 'reincarnated person,' Natsuki Subaru's mentality completely collapsed.

His own cheat-like abilities as the protagonist are so useless that he can't show off at all.

And if that were all, fine, but he's not even the only beneficiary of his abilities, so what's the point of playing this game?

"Even without great abilities, with your modern knowledge, you can still thrive in this world, as long as you don't provoke those who are beyond your capabilities."

With modern knowledge, even if one couldn't invent anything, one could still make a living as a merchant or something similar, given the level of medieval culture in the world.

Wood didn't quite understand why someone who could have lived a comfortable and affluent life could choose to fight to the death.

Wood was forced to transmigrate to a pirate world where lack of strength was a cardinal sin. While this world was nice, it was ultimately just a simulation.

To make this simulated human life form worthwhile, Wood could only do his best to improve himself in this world.

Natsuki Subaru: "You finally made it to another world, didn't you ever think about becoming a hero who saves the world and is worshipped by thousands?"

Wood: "No, it's just a hollow title. I'd rather be a lazy bum than have that kind of thing."

Natsuki Subaru: "So, when you get to another world and face beautiful girls that we can't see in our world, won't you feel tempted?"

Wood: "What, do you think someone as good-looking as me needs to go out of my way to woo pretty girls?"

Natsuki Subaru was instantly sunk, and, slumped forward in despair, muttered to himself, "Damn it, why does such a self-destructive guy have to be a handsome guy with both looks and strength?"

"And I, Natsuki Subaru, clearly have grand ambitions, yet I'm just an ordinary boy from another world!"

Natsuki Subaru thought that the god of this world must have been drunk back then and confused his character with Wood's.

"On another note, if you're not really interested in pretty girls, then what did you think of Emilia from before?"

When Natsuki Subaru asked the question, he looked at Wood with a nervous expression.

This problem seems irrelevant to the present, but Natsuki Subaru cares about it quite a bit because he believes he has already found a way to defeat the "Bowel Hunter".

"That silver-haired girl from before? Hmm, she seems like a good person, but she's probably quite naive. Her mind might not be as mature as her appearance."

Would Wood have feelings for Emilia? Of course not, he's not like Subaru Natsuki who's easily swayed by lust.

Putting aside his experiences in other worlds, even within the world of One Piece, he's already a middle-aged man in his thirties, long past the age of impulsive passion.

"So, are you confident in your abilities? Can you handle that kind of freak who can slice a solid wooden table in half with a single knife?"

Please forgive Natsuki Subaru, a modern-day weakling, for having an extremely vague judgment of the enemy's strength.

He couldn't make a specific judgment about the strength of the "Gut Hunter," but even the giant Rom, with his strong body, had his solid wood counter in front of him sliced ​​open by the "Gut Hunter" with a single stroke, which clearly showed that the black-clad woman was no ordinary person.

"Oh, where is a guy who can slice through a solid wood counter with a single stroke and even cut through the tough flesh of a giant?"
