Zongman: The post-2D era

After the door of the Wish House opened, Wuming appeared in front of Gabriel in a deadly costume. Gabriel smiled happily, and the next moment, she threw herself on the table to pretend to play computer games as if to hide her shame. The person she was waiting for would eventually come back.

"Wuming, do you know how troublesome it is to guide problem children in the afterlife? Don't tell me that you know that you came back after the afterlife finale because you didn't want to see Kanade Tachibana or something like that?"

Wuming sat down as if he had never left, picked up the potato chips and started feeding Gabriel. Gabriel tilted her head and hummed, her eyes filled with joy of reunion.

"Thank you for your hard work, Gabriel. In many worlds, a god without his own kingdom is just a false god. And I think the same is true for the world of death. So I want to make the world after death, the derivative world of the animation code-named "Angel Heartbeat" as my kingdom."

"You should be able to see the anime I've watched in the House of Wishes. So you should also know the world of Bleach! The world of Bleach is actually like a bunch of bubbles, and each world is not stable. It needs an existence like the Soul King to maintain it."

"Hollows, Shinigami, humans, Quincy, Fullbring. The Human World, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo... I have been studying these things over the years. I have found a way based on the memories and knowledge of awakening."

"I will re-define the three realms. I will be the master of the underworld, and the House of Wishes will be the heaven. The world of Death will belong to the human world. In this way, all souls will eventually return to the underworld. While becoming my helpers, both the Hollows and the Death Gods will be redeemed."

Gabriel looked at Wuming, who was full of ambition. He wanted to own a kingdom of God and become the true king of death, mastering all reincarnation, soul, and death. But like that bastard shop owner, power was the reward he gained, and the kindness in his heart would make this power bring blessings and protection. Can we only say that no matter what, the clones are all one person?

Wufang paused for a moment and said, "However, before that, there is one thing we need to confirm. That is the ending of this derivative world. Although the derivative world is derived from the original work, it will also be different in details."

"There are four possible endings that I know of. This uncertainty is actually reflected in episode 12 of the anime."

1. A happy ending, Yuzuru Otonashi and the reincarnated Kanade Tachibana meet.

2. The lonely ending, Yuzuru Otonashi forever stayed in the afterlife, alone guarding his past memories. Just to wait for Tachibana Kanade again. And the person who turned himself into an NPC because of waiting in episode is the end and end of Yuzuru Otonashi.

3. You Liyuan is the one who turned into an NPC and then recovered, so she formed the afterlife battle line.

4. After everyone left, an NPC came out from the side and started to redecorate the school, and he was the mastermind behind the NPC transformation.

Gabriel was stunned. He thought for a moment and realized that Yuzuru Otonashi had been led into the city. Then only 3 and 4 were possible. And Yuri Nakamura was not extradited. She thought it was because of the House of Wishes that Yuri Nakamura was late. Now it seems that the problem is serious.

Gabriel said helplessly: "Nakamura Yuri was not led to the city of afterlife by me. It must be the third one!"

Wuming nodded and walked out of the House of Wishes. He wanted to take over the derivative world of "Angel's Heartbeat" and make it his own kingdom of God and the world base of the Seat of Death.

In the afterlife, Nakamura Yuri is restoring the school and NPCs while recalling the problem children of this class. She is the ghost of this school that never disappears. She is a girl who is trying to take revenge on God.

I don’t know what kind of people will come to the afterlife next time. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if they are a bunch of idiots like the last time.

I have recovered my memory in the second computer classroom and I no longer have the qualifications to leave. Because my life is so unreasonable. How can I not beat the gods? How long will it take for the next batch of new people to arrive? I might as well transform into an NPC. This way, I will never feel lonely again, until the next time I break through the prosthesis with my obsession. By then, I will forget everything and start over!

"Nakamura Yuri, Yuri, Yuri. The leaders of the afterlife front! The hidden principal of this school. That's why you mistook the principal's office for the anti-angel operations headquarters."

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that this school has NPC students and teachers, so why is there no principal?"

Nakamura Yuri took out her own pistol and looked at Wuming and said, "A strange guy who calls himself the god of death. I thought you had disappeared without a word. Did you hide?"

Wuming used the Shinigami's flash to dodge the bullet and appeared behind Nakamura Yuri and said, "A robbery incident, the bodies of three siblings. You hate it! You can't forgive it! If there is a god in the world, you will definitely shoot without hesitation!"

The pistol in Yuri Nakamura's hand seemed to have unlimited bullets and kept firing.

Wuming dodged again and the two stood still. Nakamura Yuri pressed one hand on the ground. Lines on the ground lit up. The whole school began to light up.

Wuming said as he drew out his Zanpakutō! "Who created this school? Who created the NPCs and teachers? Now the truth is finally revealed."

"Shikai, pray! Reine."

Amid the invisible impact, Yuri Nakamura stood in the middle of the field wearing armor, and clones of Yuri Nakamura appeared one after another throughout the school.

"There's no reason why you can't do what Tachibana Concert has. But I don't like the self-division skills. Use the last resort! Am I the god of death that you hate? Come! Come and kill me!"

Wuming stamped his feet after saying this, and the unbearable spiritual pressure pressed all the wandering ions to the ground. With black hair and red eyes, people would bow down to him just by standing there. This is the Death God Wuming.

Nakamura Yuri yelled, as if she had confirmed the true identity of this god of death. She sank into the ground, and the entire school turned into a huge shadowy mechanical demon.

Just as Nakamura Yu was about to activate the god-killing weapon she had prepared, a voice came to her ear. One of the ways to restrain: blocking.

Nakamura Yuri was unable to move, and Wuming was beside her, looking at this girl full of hatred. He raised his lips and touched her forehead with hers, saying coldly:

"My lovely rival, hate me! Hostile to me! And live with this hatred! This world will restart, and I will be your eternal rival."

After Wuming finished speaking, he tapped Nakamura Yuri unconscious with one finger. He restored everything in the afterlife and brought Nakamura Yuri back to the House of Wishes.

Gabriel was already waiting at the door. She took over from Nakamura Yuri and complained, "Don't think I don't know that you used Uchiha Itachi's lines at the end. I've seen Naruto!"

Wuming placed a ball of light in the center of the Death Seat's table. This ball of light was the afterlife, his kingdom of God, and the foundation of the Death Seat's world. In this way, the Death Seat also had a world. Now all he had to do was wait for the soul to arrive.

Chapter 160: Seat of Death, Principal Kayaba Akihiko

On December 12th, a man with ordinary appearance, short hair, medium build, wearing a shirt, suit, tie, and a white coat, dressed like a scientific researcher, came into the Wishing Star.

The dead man in "Sword Art Online", Akihiko Kayaba.

"Welcome, Kayaba Akihiko. I am the owner of this store. If our communication goes well, I will probably be your boss in the future."

"A luxurious high-end restaurant, a man with long black hair and a sword in ancient costume. Is this the destination of the soul after death? It is really interesting."

"Let's sit down and talk first! You'll have plenty of time to learn about this place yourself later."

Kayaba Akihiko stopped and said, "Faced with an unfamiliar environment, it is wiser to stay where you are than to accept an invitation from a suspected god of death. This is especially true when this god of death has set his sights on the souls of mortals!"

Wuming said indifferently: "In your last words to Kirito, you firmly stated: In a certain world, that castle really exists. And this castle is now in the center of the table in front of me. Don't you want to come and take a look?"

Kayaba Akihiko frowned and pondered. Finally, he walked towards the Death Seat and said, "If this is the temptation of the devil, then you succeeded. Mr. Devil."

When he sat down, Wuming handed him a menu with another piece of information about the afterlife.

Kayaba Akihiko politely took the menu and ordered a coffee, but when he looked at the second document, his attention was drawn to it. He drank the coffee and read the whole document subconsciously.

"As long as you have all the information in your mind, you can create the corresponding physical objects. This world of mind creation is almost God's forbidden zone. But there is nothing false in this information. At least with my knowledge, I haven't found any loopholes."

Wuming pointed at the light ball in the center of the Seat of Death and said, "That world is in the center of the table, and aren't we sitting opposite to talk to God the same as him?"

"With your knowledge and skills in creating fully real-life technology and virtual games, this world in your hands will surely reach unprecedented heights instead of being a relief center for problem children who didn't have a good youth."

Kayaba Akihiko calmed down and looked at the light ball in the center of the Death Seat with fascination. He tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "You want me to help you design and transform this world. But given the characteristics of this world, I'm afraid I will be subject to extremely strict control precautions."

Wuming drank orange juice without taking it seriously and said, "You will not be subject to any restrictions, and you will become a member of the Seat of Death. Equal to me. Don't you understand? The light ball in the center of the table is a world and also just a ball!"

Kayaba Akihiko fell into deep thought, and outside the door of the Wish House, Gabriel walked in with her schoolbag and said, "I'm here."

"Ah! There's a new guest! Another undead in a strange state. It seems that the Seat of Death can indeed attract all conceptual things related to death."

"Hello, my name is Gabriel. I'm an angel. If you want to be extradited, please tell me in advance."

Kayaba Akihiko watched the petite girl, who was either in middle school or high school, sitting next to the Grim Reaper and taking out her computer to play games. For a moment, he wondered if he had been tricked by two middle school kids. But this place was real. And he had indeed died in the real world.

Wuming looked at Kayaba Akihiko's expression and knew that he had some doubts.

"Shall we go to the afterlife? That will be where you will work and live in the future. After all, you are already dead. Unlike Gabriel, who still has to go to school."

Kayaba Akihiko held back his complaints about why the angel had to attend class and stood up and said, "How can we enter this pearl?"

Wuming snapped his fingers as Gabriel pouted. Nothing changed. But after Kayaba Akihiko thought about it, various substances appeared on the table one by one.

"I would rather believe that I am in a virtual game than believe that this is the real world. But I know better than anyone that a virtual game can never do such a thing. It contradicts the underlying logic."

Kayaba Akihiko turned his head and looked out the window of the restaurant. There was a school. It seemed that there was no one living there.

"You will learn about this world later. Now, Kayaba Akihiko, I can give you the freedom to use this world. In return, you have to help me manage and build some things. Is that okay?"

Kayaba Akihiko's obsessive creation decomposes various elements.

"Of course, this world is the world I have always dreamed of. In this world I can definitely create the castle of my dreams."

Wuming was so happy that the first step was to ask you to be the principal of this academy! Some people who died unfortunately will come to this school soon. You need to renovate the school and set up protective measures before that. Arrange teaching NPCs and student NPCs.

Among your students there may be people with various abilities, non-living things, or even demon kings and heroes who can destroy the world. You must be prepared.

Kayaba Akihiko looked up at Wuming who was feeding Gabriel with potato chips. He once again realized what a terrible place he had come to. However, as long as he was in this world, he might even be able to kill the god of death. It just took some preparation and time.

"No problem. In a month, I will design a system based on the previous games, and this time it will be more perfect and rigorous to prevent the emergence of someone like Kirito who breaks all the rules of the world."

Wuming snapped his fingers again, and the three of them returned to the House of Wishes.

"From now on, you are member number three of the Wishing House's Death Seat. You can enter and exit the afterlife and the Death Seat at any time."

After hearing this, Kayaba Akihiko stood up impatiently and said, "Time is tight so I'll go back first. Goodbye."

After Kayaba Akihiko finished speaking, he entered the afterlife. Gabriel said, "That person doesn't seem to have good intentions towards you. You have to be careful."

Wuming shook his head and said, "It is almost impossible to disobey God in God's kingdom. At least Kayaba Akihiko can't do it now. And even if he did, I'm not afraid of becoming an enemy of the world."

Gabriel sighed and said, "I know, I know. Master Chunni Death God. You should turn down the volume to see who will come later."

"By the way, when your school officially enrolls, can I transfer here? Then I can live a perfect life playing games and eating snacks every day."

Wuming just shook his head, Gabriel sighed and continued to play. On the other side, Kayaba Akihiko appeared again.

"Three days. I stayed in the afterlife for three days, but in this House of Wishes it was just a short while? Can you even control time?"

A man in a shirt and white coat in the Seat of Time and Space stood up and laughed! "Wahahaha! My fellow scientist, I am the crazy scientist, Hououin Kyouma. So, are you shocked by my results and speechless?"

A woman's hand grabbed Okabe Rintaro's ear and said, "I'm sorry for hitting you. I really want to apologize to you. Didn't I say I wouldn't bother others anymore? And now that I'm so busy, why are you still going out to post something second-year? You're stupid."

Wuming looked at Kayaba Akihiko's surprised expression and explained: "There are many thrones in the House of Wishes. The first is the throne of time and space, and the second is the throne of death. If you ask whether we can control time and space, the answer is yes. At least in this House of Wishes, by the way, Okabe Rintaro, although he is a chuunibyou, he is indeed the inventor of the time machine."

Chapter 161: Seat of Death, Vice Principal Hiratsuka Shizuka, Teacher Jiraiya

On December 12, in the House of Wishes, a woman with black hair, a suit and high heels sat in front of Wuming. Shizuka Hiratsuka, a character who died in the disaster of "Oregairu", was also the first teacher and vice-president of the newly built Freedom Academy.

Kayaba Akihiko has used the time difference to build a school, and Hiratsuka Shizuka will be the first cultural subject teacher.

"Well, I'll see you under the moon. What exactly is the Free Academy you mentioned? Is it just a place that teaches cultural knowledge? Are the students normal human souls?"

Wuming said seriously: "I am the clone of the clone, you can just call me Wuming. There are restrictions in the Free Academy. It is divided into the ordinary area and the extraordinary area. All unconventional abilities are strictly prohibited in the ordinary area. So you can just teach them like you teach ordinary students."

"Students, for now, there are only a bunch of problem children. Do you know the anime Angel Beats My Heart? Those are the idiots."

Hiratsuka Jingdian: "Since I found out that I was a character in "Oregairu", I have watched a lot of anime. Of course, I also like hot-blooded anime very much."

Hiratsuka Shizuka hesitated and asked, "Master Wuming, why do you want to teach the dead? Wouldn't it be better to let them drink soup and forget everything before reincarnating like the cows in Chinese mythology?"

Wuming was stunned by the question. He had never thought about this question. Isn't the setting of the afterlife to be a rebirth without regrets after education? Just like the six reincarnations, crossing the Naihe Bridge and drinking Mengpo soup can easily solve this problem.

But is it really good to forget the past and start over? The love of life after life and the traces left behind are all gone. In the next life, we will meet but not know each other, and pass by each other without knowing the autumn wind's wail.

Wuming said: "For my own sake! I want to play with those idiots for a while longer. I don't want to say goodbye. However, if one day they really choose to "graduate", I will bless them in my reincarnation."

"I want the people and stories I like to continue forever, and that includes you, Hiratsuka Shizuka. When Oregairu ended, I wondered more than once which school you would go to and what kind of problem students you would encounter. So, I'm very sorry for letting you die."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the boy Wuming. He was completely different from the shy boy she had heard about in the manor. He had a more worldly-wise temperament. Was he Wuming's clone?

"You seem to understand something different from me? As far as I know, Yuexiajian Zunming should have paid a lot of price to protect the world, and lost his love and so on."

Wuming drank his drink and reminisced, "Have you seen 'Bleach'? I have lived in Soul Society for hundreds of years, and I am no longer shy. If I like it, I like it. If I don't want it, I don't want it. In terms of age, I have lived much longer than the original."
