I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Yes, because it's very important! And it's something only you can do, so I came here specifically to ask for your help."

"Understood! Leave everything to me."

Leo swallowed hard. Something that could trouble even the "Worst King" must be a major event concerning the safety of the world.

"Listen."

"understand!"

Seeing Izuku Midoriya's serious expression, Leo and the others from "Libra" also became serious, and everyone listened attentively.

"Please order me a copy of Half-Life 3 online!"

"Ugh?"

The reality was vastly different from what they had imagined, and everyone in "Libra" immediately had a "Are you kidding me?" look on their faces, except for Leo, who nodded with a serious expression.

"This does sound very important, but Half-Life 3 has been out for several years now, hasn't it?"

"Haha~~~ As you know, I come from another world, so I'm not very well-informed."

"Uh-huh!!"

Izuku Midoriya managed to bluff his way through, while Leo nodded frantically, quite understanding, since as fellow enthusiasts, they could understand each other.

The other members of "Libra" were completely speechless. They thought the "Worst King's" request was absurd enough, but Leo actually understood it, which was simply unbelievable.

"But Mr. Midoriya, can't you buy it yourself?"

"Helsaremz Roth's game store doesn't have Half-Life 3 at all. It seems they don't keep any of the games from a few years ago. They only have new games... Also, I don't have a human ID card, so I can't make online purchases."

"Understood, leave this to me!"

"Okay, I'll pay the rest after it arrives."

Having reached an agreement in a few words, the members of "Libra" covered their faces and turned their heads to the side. It was simply unbelievable that the "Extremely Evil King" was actually a game enthusiast... Could he be a shut-in? As expected, all thirteen kings of the other world are a bunch of weirdos.

Izuku Midoriya was quite satisfied. He had spent a lot of time in "Helsaremz Roth" a couple of days ago but couldn't find "Half-Life 3". Now he just asked Leo to order it online and have it delivered from outside.

Having traversed countless worlds, Izuku Midoriya's observations and explorations extend beyond the differences in the human world to a deeper meaning, such as games!

In this world, there might only be 2 of Half-Life, and Gabe Newell (GabeN) would never count to three. However, after crossing over to other worlds, Half-Life 3 could have already been released long ago. This is the charm of crossing worlds!

Different worlds, changing timelines—you might see Warcraft 4, a new Onimusha game, or Ninja Gaiden 4... This series of temptations is enough to make people travel across worlds to pursue them.

After familiarizing himself with the area around "Helsaremz Lot", Midoriya habitually visited the game store and discovered that Half-Life 3 had already been released in this world, so he locked onto his target and prepared to make his move.

After asking Leo for help, the boy borrowed Mr. Klaus's work computer to help Mr. Midoriya do online shopping. After all, it was a work request from the "Worst King," and even the leader of "Libra" agreed to this unreasonable and absurd request. Bored, Midoriya simply picked up the camera that Leo had placed on the table and started fiddling with it.

During the three years that Hersalemz Roth appeared, Leo came to the city but only took 72 photos with his camera. When the unusual became normal, there were very few scenes that the boy could capture in his camera.

"Oh?"

Midoriya saw the last photo, a photo that Leo had just taken the day before yesterday. The background was a hospital cemetery, and the photo showed a girl with twin tails sitting on a tombstone. It seemed that her smiling face was facing Leo at the time.

"A ghost..."

At this moment, Midoriya understood who Leo was referring to when he accidentally mentioned "ghost" at the beginning. It seems that Leo accidentally encountered a cute ghost and is now attracted to her.

With a smile on his face, Midoriya put Leo's camera back on the table, pretending he hadn't seen it. It seemed the boy had met his destined girl.

"But speaking of which..."

Then, thinking of the people from his original world, Izuku Midoriya instinctively clutched his stomach with his right hand, feeling a slight cramping pain...

There's a reason why it makes a "coo coo coo" sound.

Abby is so cute... I'm thinking of throwing Abby into Blood Blockade Battlefront, since it's all Cthulhu culture~~~ What do you guys think of this suggestion~~~ I'm a bit worried about compatibility, so I'm asking for your opinions first.

RUA!! (Sounds like wanting to raise a daughter)

I'd like to ask for your suggestions first, so I can prepare to start writing tomorrow.

Chapter 17 The Gate

Otherworlds are strange existences different from the human world. The physical laws and common sense commonly used in the human world cannot be applied to otherworlds. Upside-down skyscrapers standing in the air, endless highways twisting like coiled snakes leading to the sky, scenes that only appear in human imaginations are easily seen in otherworlds.

The appearance of "Helsaremz Lot" created a connecting path between the human world and the other world called "Eternal Void." The path to the other world is a passage built within "Eternal Void." If you accidentally fall into "Eternal Void," it's basically a dead end. You might float there for hundreds of years before falling into the universe of the other world.

The human world and the other world are both very far apart and very close. The interest of an unknown ancient demon god connected the two worlds and created the city of "Helsaremz Lot".

There are probably quite a few humans who have the idea of ​​traveling to another world, but basically no one would be willing to try it unless there are powerful humans. For ordinary people, going to another world is basically a death sentence. Of course, there are some people who may be mentally unstable who believe that the people in other worlds are kind and have gone to other worlds. They are probably on the dinner table of some people in other worlds by now.

The Chrysler Galadona Treaty is a peaceful coexistence treaty signed between humans and another world. Although it clearly states that "cannibalism is prohibited," laws only become effective when they are discovered.

In "Helsaremz Lot", there are otherworldly criminals who use illusion magic to cover up their smuggling of humans. As for humans who wantonly travel to other worlds, no one will care about their whereabouts. They are just asking for trouble and are like sheep entering a tiger's den. They can only blame their own stupidity.

Of course, all of this boils down to one point: don't let curiosity about the scenery of another world cloud your judgment and lead you to travel there. It's basically a dead end, with no one to care.

"That's true, but I've also seen humans in other worlds."

"well!?"

In "Libra," Leo, curious about the situation inside the other world, asks Izuku Midoriya, the "Worst King" who came from the other world, hoping to broaden his horizons and experience. He is then severely reprimanded by Zapp, who is standing nearby.

In short, the other world is extremely dangerous, and ordinary humans would be doomed if they went there. Leo was advised to give up any interest in the other world as soon as possible.

"I was just asking, it's not like I wanted to go myself!"

Leo was saying something like that when he received a reply from Izuku Midoriya that the "Worst King" had seen humans in another world.

"Could it be on the dinner table of some otherworldly being, or perhaps already becoming a delicacy?"

"They are living, breathing human beings."

Having received a reply from "The Worst King," Zapp still stubbornly retorted:

"It can't just be some otherworldly being with a human appearance, like that 'Fallen King' Fimtor, who looks human but is actually a monster."

"They are genuine human beings, not from another world."

"Forehead......."

Having been proven wrong twice, Zapp simply couldn't believe that humans could survive in a monster-infested alien world, so he directly asked him.

"Then tell me, what kind of humans are they?"

"She's a human little girl, with long blonde hair, the very cute kind."

"Impossible! A human little girl going to another world would just be a snack for those monsters, you must be lying to me!"

Did I say she was an ordinary human little girl?

"Uh...no."

Zapp, who was speechless after being choked by Izuku Midoriya's words, probably forgot that the person in front of him was the "Worst King" among the Thirteen Kings of Another World. He had seen countless monster bosses and the people he chatted with were probably all terrifying monsters who looked unremarkable.

"I can't go into the specifics, but it's related to the higher beings that connect the human world and the other world."

"What?!"

Upon hearing the "Extreme Evil King's" sudden revelation, Zapp was nearly stunned. Three years after the appearance of "Helsaremz Lot," the reason why the human world had collapsed and connected with another world was unknown not only to the human world but also to the other world, where it was unclear which ancient demon god was responsible.

"Perhaps out of interest in humanity, that higher being has connected the human world with another world, but we have no idea what changes will occur. Therefore, whether 'Helsaremz Lot' has any value remains to be seen."

After folding today's newspaper neatly and placing it on the table, Izuku Midoriya took his leave from "Libra." The "Half-Life 3" that Leo had ordered for him had arrived, and he was ready to go and have a big battle with it, since it was a top priority (nods).

"A blonde little girl...?"

Leo was deep in thought, but "Libra" hadn't assigned him any missions today. After gathering at headquarters and having his takeout delivered, Leo went straight to the hospital... He had met a cute girl named Shiro a while ago.

Because of the injuries he sustained after being kidnapped by smugglers from another world, Leo spent a few days recovering in the hospital. During this time, he became friends with a cute blonde girl with twin tails again. This was the first time Leo felt lucky in "Helsaremz Lot." He was usually robbed and extorted by thugs from another world, and after joining "Libra," he was bullied by that bastard Zapp. Finally, Leo had encountered something good to be happy about.

Mary Macbeth, a blonde girl with pigtails who has been hospitalized, is someone Leo hears from a nurse who says she seems to have a heart condition. Leo lives alone in the hospital and meets this girl, who claims to be a "ghost," by chance in the cemetery behind the hospital. Leo then frequently visits her in the hospital.

Leo, who was planning to visit Xiaobai in the hospital today, stopped at a cake shop and went in to buy some gifts. He figured girls probably all like cake, right? ... With that thought in mind, Leo spent his last few dollars on two very delicious-looking cakes.

Leo, who was about to head to the hospital as he walked out of the cake shop, stopped in his tracks. He saw a blonde little girl staring longingly into the cake shop. The child was wearing a retro lantern dress that covered her body and upper legs, and was carrying a toy bear. She looked like a cute and well-behaved child.

Leo glanced at the little girl, intending to go to the hospital, but his conscience stopped him. Looking at the two cakes in his bag, Leo knelt down in front of the little girl, smiling and asking her questions.

"Um...do you want some cake?"

"........."

The little girl, clutching her teddy bear, became wary, which was a perfectly normal reaction to being afraid of strangers. Leo awkwardly scratched the back of his head and then took a cake out of the bag and handed it to the little girl.

"Here, take this."

"Well......"

The little girl carefully took the cake from Leo's hand. She looked at the cake in her hand with some surprise, then looked up at the big brother who had given her the cake. Leo just waved to her and then turned and left. The boy was going to the hospital to visit the girl he cared about, Shiro.

Leo turned and left without noticing that a dark keyhole had appeared on the little girl's forehead after he turned away, and an eye that could see through everything in the world was watching him.

Because a kind older brother gave her a delicious cake, the blonde little girl skipped away with her teddy bear, seemingly preparing to find a good place to enjoy the delicious food. However, the little girl did not notice that she had walked into the streets and alleys of Helsaremz Lot. And because of the appearance of the petite and cute prey, the thugs from other worlds with ill intentions followed her.

However, in "Helsaremz Roth", nothing can be bound by common sense. This is a principle that humans must follow, and it is also a truth that is often applied to self-satisfied otherworldly beings.

The blonde little girl skipped and hopped away from the streets and alleys, leaving a pool of blood on the ground in the street, with no sign of the otherworldly people who had followed her in.

Chapter 18 Abi

In the hospital, Leo was talking to Shiro about interesting things in "Helsaremz Roth" and gave her a cake as a gift. Although Leo had originally bought two cakes and planned to eat them together, he was fine as long as he got Shiro's share.

"Leo, you have a younger sister?"

"Yeah, but she used to always call me a slowpoke, haha~~~"

When discussing his sister, Leo couldn't help but think of Michela, wondering if she was doing well living alone... Although she had parents and relatives to take care of her, Leo had been personally taking care of his sister, who had difficulty walking, since she was little, and he felt he could never let go of her.

"Actually, I also have an older brother... I'll introduce you to him when I have time."

"Oh!? Is that so? That's wonderful!"

Leo, who was eager to meet his future brother-in-law, failed to notice the somewhat forlorn expression on Xiaobai's face, as if the girl had something difficult to say.

The cheerful chat passed quickly. As night was about to fall, Leo said goodbye to Xiaobai and left the hospital. He had a delivery job early the next morning and also had to go to the "Libra" headquarters to meet up... However.

Early the next morning, Leo, who was lying on the sofa at the "Libra" headquarters sleeping and replenishing his energy, realized that things were indeed unpredictable in "Helsaremz Lot".

"What's going on, Mr. Gilbert?"

As Stephen sipped his coffee, he asked Gilbert, the old butler who was standing by waiting, a question.

"It's said that their home was converted into a luxury hotel, and they were kicked out."

Early in the morning, Leo's rented house was forcibly demolished, and he and his luggage were kicked out within 40 seconds. Temporarily homeless, Leo managed to move his luggage to a fast food restaurant for temporary storage before rushing off to work as a delivery driver. He is now so exhausted that he is almost dead.

"Wouldn't it be better to give him some more funds for his activities? He's still working and sending money back for living expenses, isn't he?"

Mr. Stephen, as "Libra's" second-in-command, kindly offered this suggestion, but the old butler beside him shook his head.

"That's what I suggested too, but he wasn't willing to accept money beyond his base salary."

"I see... You really are very methodical."

Stephen admired Leo's personal qualities, while Zapp arrived at the "Libra" headquarters, covered in blood. Completely unaware that Leo was sleeping on the sofa, Zapp plopped down on his face.

Leo, feeling suffocated, began to struggle frantically, while Zapp, sitting on his face, remained completely unmoved. Stephen simply took a sip of coffee and asked a question.

"So much blood?"

"I got harassed by a drug addict. Because he suddenly lunged at me, I 'lightly' made a 'slit' across his carotid artery. I hope he didn't die?"

Zapp, who answered Stephen's questions in questioning, was probably already decapitated from the person he had chopped down.

Is it human?

"Judging from the feel and the fracture surface, it should be."

The two exchanged a quick conversation, but things weren't as simple as they seemed. After all, while Zapp was a scumbag, he wasn't the type to casually injure someone so severely. Perhaps?

"I had no idea there was a drug that could make someone survive even after their head was chopped off."

Wiping the blood off his face with a towel, Zapp recounted what he had witnessed. Stephen, meanwhile, simply showed him a document, which contained information about a new type of drug from another world—a serum that could modify the human body.

Zapp and Stephen were talking, but no one paid any attention to Leo, who was sitting on Zapp's bottom. He had stopped struggling and was motionless; he was practically dead...

----------------

Leo, who was rescued at the last moment, lay paralyzed on the sofa. Just a moment ago, the poor boy saw a strange-looking otherworldly Grim Reaper beckoning to him, and he almost really kicked the bucket.
