Walking the grounds of a school in Japan with my weapons either hidden or wrapped up in cloth, I looked at my only ever active chat of six people. Merlin, Jake Thayne, Peter Parker, Anakin Skywalker, Cloud Strife, and Hades as my only viewers after centuries of living. It was interesting as time for them seemed to pass as cut screens, except Hades he saw everything as is due to being a long living God.
I only had six viewers because the stream either limited me there until now, or the others just ignored everything to do with the Stream. As soon as the two thousands hit a notification saying that someone had joined. It was a new viewer who likes to lurk really called ShyGuitarist. Which made me think it was a certain teenage girl who becomes a "beast" when actually performing.
Which honestly thank fuck I had someone besides a dick wizard, a hero, a battle junkie, and a brooding council! So I thanked the only female viewer I had. For truly her music is a blessing in disguise.
"Thank you for joining the stream Bochi, or ShyGuitarist, having a non-asshole is a great thing. Really, you've been a major relief these past years. Plus you write music and perform some good songs, if the new stream playlist is anything to go by. So your presence is welcomed. Also again don't mind the guys, they're all frankly harmless brutes if you're kind and not an asshole. Well, except for the dick wizard, he's just always an asshole."
[MarvelousMerlin: Hey! Don't you slander my good name! I'll have you know I'm the most respected mage, the king's trusted confidant, the great sage of Britain, Merlin!]
"See he's also a narcissist on top of an asshole. Don't trust the dick wizard, always trust yourself more."
[ShyGuitarist: Thank you…]
"That's a proper response not threatening someone just for the Multiverse fucking with you. Looking at you Hades."
[NightFather: You like lording that over me for a mortal, however, I won't deny my actions. I was rude and you've never lied to me. You also provide me with entertainment and a place to scream about my brothers without them noticing.]
While I was currently at a job as a security guard for Fujimi Academy. Which was frankly extremely easy due to my long life. Plus the Japanese were very superstitious, and when the school was being built I was here on a job to banish a Scourge in the area. So I've been working here since it was founded, though I've taken time off for contracts around the world.
But in the end I always come back here because I know this is where most of the real action is. Plus… I want to look after my great granddaughter Shizuka Marikawa though I don't think she even realizes I'm her ancestor. Her roommate and girlfriend Rika Minami although I think she suspects who I am in relation to Shizuka.
I was also so close to essentially getting a noble Phantasm after so long…. I just need one more point. Because if I'm going to be honest I don't really need Three Thousand Worlds, I just want it to summon so many guns and kill things faster. Although thanks to my Banisher equipment I knew something was going to happen today. So compared to most days I posted up on the school's roof where uh… that moody teen protagonist liked being near. Using some binoculars to watch the surroundings and the campus closely, musket unwrapped with my blade at my waist.
[PrimalHunter: Did you see that as well? There really are zombies in this universe besides ghosts. I wonder if the ghost can make them stronger….
ZSpiderman: Well it's been good knowing you man, but trust me those things are going to try and feast on your wrongfully delicious flesh…. But I know you can save a lot of lives so be sure to give those zombies a greeting from me…. Also please don't mind that one statement… The hunger is getting to me lately with no Humans or animals to eat.
BusterThug: I don't get why you haven't killed yourself yet Peter Parker, you're an undead that should be fine with what your lesser undead are doing. Yet you're still here in this strange chat trying to be a hero, why? Why do you do this to yourself?
ZSpiderman: Atonement and to still be what I was meant to be Cloud… the Stream keeps the hunger from clouding my mind. It's why I've been able to resist eating a lot of people and fellow heroes and instead let them escape… I'm tired of living like this I truly am, but if being a zombie can help our new friend here then I'm fine suffering a little longer… After all, I'm the friendly neighborhood Spiderman… I still want to be like that, not a monster…]
Sighing I timed out Cloud for a few seconds before he said something insensitive likely. The blonde menace sometimes does not know when exactly to not pick at a chat member's pain. As he frankly has a bad habit at stabbing at those issues with how he can think. Grabbing my work radio from my belt I radio the principal while setting up my musket for some sniping.
"This is Carter, I would recommend beginning a lock down with students being told to stay in class. If anyone has been bitten by another person or is sick suddenly however send them to the gymnasium to quarantine them. Use force if needed. Also get tvs to each classroom and turn on the news, though tell Shido to report to me on the roof. I need to have a talk with the man."
{I…. Is that all necessary Carter-san?}
"If you want to live? Yes. Because no one's coming, the city is burning as we speak and the dead which aren't spirits walk."
{Understood… while it should be hard to believe you Carter-san, I've experienced enough and seen enough with you around to argue. Shido-san should also be on his way to meet you.}
"Roger."
[ShyGuitarist: Are you going to?....
GeneralSkywalker: This will put a smile on my face after my week… never let Master Yoda teach you how to make tea…]
Getting up from my spot I moved and hid around the only entrance to the rooftop. Watching intently for Shido, hand resting on my sword as my rings lit up with a mix of orange and cyan blue flames. I was going to extinguish a soul and murder a man today.
\\// Shido POV //\\
I couldn't understand WHY the brute of a security guard wanted to see me. The man hated my guts for no conceivable reason, the bastard even went as far as to say a lot of spirits really despised me. Spirits? Useless superstition by people who still believe in folktales and Gods. Opening the door to the roof, I closed it behind me as I looked around for the brute.
Yet as I looked around I felt something plunge through my heart and my chest at an angle. Something crashing into me from above, a voice devoid of emotion speaking.
"I condemn you to nonexistence, your soul erased."
Then everything was so painful…. I felt something break… I… who… am I…. Why is everything going away?.... I'm scared…. Help me… don't let me die….
\\// Back to MC //\\
[Kill a Dictator! +300 SP]
[Kill Shido before he is a problem! +1000 SP]
[Kill a Cult Leader! +600 SP]
[Altered the Fates of 600 Minor Fates! +600,000 SP]
[Altered the Fates of 10 Major Fates! +10,000,000 SP]
Looking at Shido's corpse I just stored it and the blood into my bag to be forgotten or used later. Buying Three Thousand Worlds and still having enough SP to sit pretty for a while. After all I haven't really touched my Stream Points, since well I have to MANY due to Hades converting the darkest of souls into SP.
[SP 9,567,890,467]
My bag and map were also level six each as due to the lack of viewers the discount never went away. My weapons and equipment were also all level fourteen, fifteen for my gun, as they now cost well over twenty million SP to upgrade, even discounted. Was this basically cheating? Yes I feel that it was. However, I'd been streaming for over a hundred decades now, and rarely bought anything. Aside from the safe and unsafe 3D options funded by Hades so that we can all play poker together.
Sometimes we even ganged up on a Nightmare or Scourge. As the stream allowed them to use at least 0.05% of their full capabilities in the 3D unsafe mode. Why only that much is because this isn't their world, and they're NOT supposed to help me, yet it understands some will still try so it put that limit. Jumping off the roof and landing perfectly fine as condensed Spiritual Energy coats my legs. I walked towards the school gates as some idiots were screwing with an undead.
As soon as one was bit I didn't even blink as I walked up and promptly drew my sword. The canon first infected teacher's head goes flying, the top half missing, tongue flapping free from its now permanently opened mouth. I drew a Banisher Sidearm. Cocking the hammer back on a Colt Python I fired a shot that made no sound as my rings lit up. The undead salary worker's head exploded into gore before I looked at the other teachers who stood frozen. I shook my head and walked away. Takashi had a front row view of my actions as I saw him standing on the emergency exit stairs shocked. Meanwhile another undead was sent flying over the school walls by a speeding car before it was heard crashing.
The undead however got up quickly as a purple hue surrounded it. It moved too quickly as it was still a fresh corpse and was also possessed by the original owner, likely. Otherwise the sync to pull that off wouldn't be possible given even if a spirit possesses an unfamiliar body. As there would be some discordance in its movements being unsynchronized with the spirit's new body. It bit the other teachers in rapid succession before starting to skulk around me.
Sheathing my sword I grabbed my radio, raising it to my mouth quickly while pressing the button. Shouting something before chucking the device at the Corpse Walker. The radio nailing the possessed undead in the face made it flinch as I moved in quickly. Grabbing ths possessed variant by the hair I tripped the walking corpse. My side arms barrel pointed at between its eyes before barking out a shot that BURNS the corpse to ashes with the soul being banished.
"Just great… now I have to potentially fight Ghosts that will be even STRONGER if they possess the right corpse. Worse is if they meld the correct corpses and souls together with others to create a Scourge… or a damned Nightmare Possessed by someone with strong hatred and resentment dying."
[BusterThug: I say this as a friend Dakota, your fucked.]
Don't have to just say it you blonde tsundere asshole. Sighing I noticed the bitten teachers had already disappeared while I dealt with the Corpse Walker. Attaching my sword to my musket that no longer looked like a musket, but something you'd see in folktale depictions. Looking towards the gymnasium, I leveled my musket at it before intoning one of its upgrades.
"IMMOLATION BANISH."
Setting the entire building a blaze with three shots in rapid succession. The infected and non-infected within its walls are certainly burning up. Sighing I acknowledged I likely just killed people not undead monsters, but their souls are free and won't come back. Shaking my head I marched into the doors of hell being unleashed in the school, and without any preamble due to pressure began an efficient slaughter. All because of my actions taken previously.
So each shot of my musket could hit without something else getting in the way of my intended targets. Much less due to an extremely tight timer hanging over my head until I eventually got overwhelmed by the rapidly growing undead. I saved some, I killed some out of mercy, yet I continued my advance through the school. Corpses and sometimes even ashes left in my wake as I progressed my way through the halls.
