Gwen dropped her head onto Allen's desk, in front of his PC. She often came to watch Allen's livestreams at his apartment because her parents still didn't know that her boyfriend traveled to different universes and fought monsters and apocalypses every week.
Indeed, they haven't seen Allen without his glasses, but they're not stupid. They would recognize the guy who's been with their daughter for years, even once taking him with them to the beach, camping, and skiing.
They would just have to be the densest couple if Hellen and George didn't recognize him.
Gwen sighed. "Allen is becoming more and more popular, and it's only a matter of time before they find out."
In fact, it's practically a miracle they don't know yet, although it could be because her mother doesn't watch much news, and her father is a busy man. However, Allen is too viral; there are days when he's on the news all day long.
*Yawn*
Gwen glanced back to see the beautiful redhead woman sleeping on Allen's bed. She narrowed her eyes. The problem isn't that her parents know Allen has superpowers or is a mutant, as everyone believes. The problem is they'll know their beloved daughter is dating a womanizer.
Gwen could swear her father would come to beat Allen up upon finding out, even knowing he kicked the gods' asses.
Of course, she's not worried about Allen getting hurt at this point; he can tank Hulk's punches, and knowing him, he won't attack her father. The problem is if the relationship between them is ruined.
Gwen sighed on the desk again, putting aside that topic. Another thing that worried her was the change Allen underwent in that zombie world.
Not only did she, MJ, pass out upon seeing Natasha, but Gwen, being stronger, endured it out of concern for Allen. Okay, after seeing her for a moment, she realized that despite their resemblance, they were different.
The Natasha from her world was shorter and more voluptuous, with short hair, and the one from that world had long hair with a more developed body. While Natasha has Russian ancestry, that Natasha has more Germanic features.
Basically, it wasn't the Natasha they knew, but that didn't change the fact that it was painful and shocking. Gwen collapsed at that moment but endured because, no matter how bad she felt, Allen must have felt a hundred times worse.
It was a miracle he remained so calm, no, he didn't. Allen ended up being affected by everything to the point of almost becoming a ruthless avenger.
Gwen was a little frustrated and jealous that whoever managed to bring him back wasn't her, not even one of Allen's closest women; it was a stranger.
Makima...
She may not give the impression of being a good person, but Gwen appreciates her actions, regardless of whether they get along.
Gwen wasted no time and started investigating that woman.
Makima is a demon, a very powerful and dangerous one; her role in her previous life was to cause pain, a lot of pain. Gwen gritted her teeth; this new knowledge made her alert, and she called Allen.
Calls between system users are telepathic, so she could chat with Allen for a while. She expressed her unconditional support and asked to be by his side whenever possible.
Allen accepted her proposal, and Gwen noticed that Allen was better at this point. On the contrary, he asked Gwen if she and MJ were okay.
MJ passed out at first, but she wasn't too weak to break down because of something like that, so when she woke up a few minutes later, she supported Allen from the Chat, and then fell asleep again from the stress.
Gwen laughed at MJ's attitude, so she helped her relax, but she still felt a little depressed for not being the woman by Allen's side at that moment.
The blonde recovered, slapped her cheeks, took her phone, and called all of Allen's women.
Natasha was okay and thanked her for the call; her mind was full of Allen, and she didn't realize they were worried too.
Gwen asked Natasha how she could accept everything that happened.
"Gwen, I'm here, I'm not dead, nor am I a zombie; I just feel sorry for that woman, but it's not me."
Gwen felt her body relax, and she smiled.
"You're right, Aunt Natt~"
Natasha laughed. Both women felt better.
...
Gwen called Felicia Hardy, who was sitting by her window.
She began to reflect after seeing a woman who looked like her but more mature among the zombies.
Felicia lives freely, doing as she pleases, but that living corpse makes her think about how fragile she truly is.
Gold, jewels, money, everything is nice, but in the end, it's worthless. You're born with nothing, and you die without taking anything, perhaps except memories.
She's aware that she lives in a very strange and unpredictable world; she could go out one day to steal and end up being bitten by a monster, or more simply, someone could put a bullet in her head.
Is that okay?
Death is something you don't think about regularly, but Felicia doesn't want to die and have her last memories be a pile of worthless gold.
She grabbed the pendant Allen gave her while looking at the bustling city of New York.
"I want to see you..." she murmured, the lonely cat.
At that moment, Gwen called, and Felicia smiled. "Looks like the first wife is making an effort~"
She wasn't lying; the call made her happy, although she would prefer to cuddle with Allen.
...
Next to be called by Gwen was Diana. In this case, it was straightforward because, as expected, the powerful Amazon princess was okay. Her mental strength was incredible, and she was ready to go help him if necessary.
Diana complained at the time that it was Tony, Thor, and Hulk and not her, but she understood; this was a world related to them. If their positions were exchanged, she would be on the verge of losing her mind in a fit of rage after seeing acquaintances die like that.
On the contrary, Diana showed her caution towards Gwen, but the princess was surprised to hear her show strength and will. It must be said that Diana is over three hundred years old, but Gwen turned eighteen a few months ago, which makes her mental strength very impressive.
Finally, Gwen called Megan and Emma. Despite how their relationship with Allen started, they're Allen's lovers. Gwen knows that both women aren't like her and MJ, but they're not just friends with Allen either.
In conclusion, Allen expressed his desire to maintain a relationship with both women. Gwen, for her part, doesn't know how to deal with them; she doesn't want to be condescending or anything, but it's not easy to call a woman and say, "Hi, you slept with my drunk boyfriend, but I want to get along with you~"
...
After talking to Diana, Felicia, Natasha, Megan, and Emma, Gwen leaned back in her chair while thinking. All the others agreed that Makima was a problem.
Unlike Esdeath, whose problem was in her convictions and extremely cruel methods, she was able to maintain a certain degree of decency and even show kindness and appreciation for her subordinates. However, for Makima, it's different; she's willing to kill every person in the world if it fulfills her objectives.
Gwen woke MJ up and together they brainstormed a solution.
"Gwen, do you think this is okay?"
"Allen isn't comfortable with ordering others, but this is a special kind of chaos."
Gwen sighed and contacted Allen, who at that moment was eating with Tony and the others. Allen fell silent upon hearing the concern of his women collectively, and then he agreed with them.
He needed to impose restrictions on Makima. This was something he didn't do with the other dolls, but with the control demon, the story was different; she could do a lot of damage if he didn't stop her.
"Makima."
The redhead woman appeared, with a slight smile on her face as if she already knew everything.
At that moment, Allen gave Makima some orders to control her. This made Allen feel bad because, regardless of the kind of danger she represented, Makima helped him before, and he was repaying her this way.
Makima, in response, approached with her hands behind her back. "All right, now my interest is in you, I won't waste my time wandering around." Makima's tone was flat despite her words.
Allen felt Makima's hand touch his cheek and then stroke under his eyelids.
"Makima."
"I simply found you to be a fascinating existence, and I want to learn more about this world... I don't know how to call it."
Allen shook his head, understanding Makima's true intentions would be harder than making Wednesday smile.
...
Returning to the present, Allen entered a new world, this time unrelated to Marvel or DC. Allen didn't know it, but he was about to see something incredible.
Upon crossing over, Allen found himself standing on a street in the suburbs.
"At least it's not space this time."
[Host... I have good news and bad news...]
'All right, tell me the good news.'
[Host, we have officially exited the initial programming. We're in an unknown world, and well, we didn't die in the attempt.]
'Oh! That's good news, I suppose. And the bad news?'
[Host, to answer that, we need to revisit old information.]
'Sure...'
[Do you remember why you can't bring many people from another world with you?]
'Because they would be seen as intruders, and perhaps someone would try to eliminate them.'
'That's correct, but that's not all. Every new person in a world that shouldn't exist is a disturbance. If there are too many, they might end up bothering the world itself.'
'I suppose we want to avoid that.'
[That's right. Now, you don't have that problem because you have me with you. No matter what universes we go to, you will never be recognized as an intruder. At most, some people might feel uncomfortable with your presence, but that's because I integrated you organically into the world, as if you had always been there.]
'I see where this is going.'
[Now that we're out of my programming, I don't have enough data to achieve that. I'm afraid this puts the Host in a similar position to someone you might bring along.]
'That's troublesome. So, what do we do, go back?'
'No, I'll see if I can figure out how to achieve this "harmony." Otherwise, just try not to break too many rules of the world while we gather fragments.'
'I see. If you're in Rome, act like a Roman... Let's see, if I go to the world of Dragon Ball, I should limit myself to using only ki. If I go to the world of One Piece, I should only use powers like Haki or Devil Fruit abilities.'
[You don't know how relieved I am to have a Host who's ready and doesn't need everything explained~]
Allen narrowed his eyes. It had been a long time since he heard the system speak like a maiden, and it felt strange to him.
So now, Allen would be restricted to using abilities, powers, and weapons consistent with the world, otherwise risking being identified as an intruder by the world.
Other system users wouldn't have this restriction, but remember, Allen is outside of the system's programming. It's as if the cooking system started acting like the Star Singer system.
Allen simply sighed and prepared to speak with the Chat. However, in the distance, he felt a presence. Allen took cover behind a tree while on the street, he saw the headlights of cars going out one by one. An old man with a long white beard was walking, and for some reason, he was stealing the lights from the headlights.
It was strange to see the lights flying from the headlights into the hands of the old man.
At that moment, the mouths of the Chat dropped open, especially Gwen's and Emma Watson's.
Allen, for his part, felt a drop of sweat run down his cheek as he recognized the old man immediately.
'System, can you tell me where I am?'
