While Clodwal was about to go on a guarding quest, one of the roleplayers will take the lead. NEKO, one of the custom made characters given power to by Azathoth in the RPGC with the demi-human race specialized in modern warfare.
๐ก๐๐๐ข'๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฉ
Where is this?
I was just playing the usual ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐๐ง ๐๐ถ๐ต๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ง๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ in my computer then the screen suddenly shone brightly to the point that I thought I was going to get blind. But that didn't seem to be the case right now.
A desert? Sand is everywhere as far as I can see. I moved my arms and suddenly grabbed something soft and squishy, I looked at that something and to my surprise it wasn't a desert jellyfish, whatever that is. It was the chest of a woman with blonde hair wearing a military suit.
Neko: "This is... Sakura?!"
After the shock of meeting someone who's not supposed to exist I noticed I was wearing a military outfit but a different model similar to my roleplay character, a Desert Multi Camouflage and that girl over there who's supposedly my online girlfriend is wearing a Woodland Multi Camouflage. Like my character, I now have brown hair, red eyes and a well built body like a veteran soldier.
Sakura: "Uhnn... W-what happened?"
Neko: "It spoke!?"
Sakura: "W-who are you?"
Neko: "I'm Neko, your name is Sakura, right?"
Sakura: "Sakura? W-wait..."
She looked at me and observed my physique as well as her own equipment with an expressionless to puzzled look.
Sakura: "This is... My character in that Roleplay Group Chat, Sakura. So you're my senpai?"
Neko: "Yeah, but more importantly where are we?"
Sakura: "I don't know myself, I was just watching anime in my laptop and it suddenly tried to blind me."
So she somehow got sent here along with me. Is this Isekai? Aren't Isekai supposed to send you to somewhere fantasy like and not a desert? Anyhow, I need to secure resources and find the others like Clodwal and Atala who's the most powerful in the Coalition Forces.
Neko: "A-Aggh!"
An abrupt headache as intense as I could describe appeared with no warning. I screamed at the top of my lungs in this vast desert.
Sakura: "A-Are you alright?"
Information, rather years of memories started gushing into my hippocampus all at once. These memories could not possibly be mine, it was Neko Yamamoto's. My roleplay character.
Sakura: "M-Mmgh..!"
It seems to me like I'm not the only one experiencing this. Eventually, my memories and persona was already mixed with two different people. The one from the previous world, and the other my avatar.
After we have both recovered, the ground suddenly started shaking. Strangely, I could tell something bad was going to happen and grabbed Sakura's hand to pull her away from her current spot.
The sound of sand whistling could be heard and something big came out of that exact coordinates Sakura was on. It looked like a giant leech and was extending itself from the place where Sakura once stood.
Neko: "What the hell is that thing?!"
The leech directed it's gaze to Sakura and started charging at us which we evaded by a hair's thread by moving sideways, resulting on falling down. The leech continued it's assault.
Neko: "Ah shit!"
As I was trying to find a way to defeat the monster, I felt something heavy on my waist. It was the weapon I used in the RPGC, a God Artifact made by Azathoth.
Neko: "This is..."
I grasped it and looked at it's beautiful figure resembling a Dan Wesson with it's overly sized barrel, feeling it's warmth giving me courage, destroying my fears, I aimed the weapon at the leech.
I pulled the trigger and a large bang could be heard across the desert, a bright bluish bullet came out of it, which hit the leech on it's head causing it to flinch and screech while I smiled bitterly, my God Artifact was specialized in nullifying magic and has a special effect when fighting enemies who use magic. The leech made loud noises of screeching and the ground started shaking like the time it came.
Sakura: "S-Senpai, I think it called for reinforcements..."
Neko: "You've got to be kidding me."
Sakura was correct, giant leeches 40 feet long came out of the sand one by one and looked at their prey which is us.
Neko: "We just got isekai-ed and we're gonna die? I'm not Subaru here!"
I didn't want to give up and be killed so easily by a bunch of worms, I aimed my ๐๐ข๐จ๐ช๐ค ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ญ at one of them. It felt rather brave and stupid as they already completely surrounded us but I still fired and fought. The leeches charged at us all at once and all hope was lost. I was ready to die, I just closed my eyes and shielded Sakura with my body hoping she won't be harmed.
๐ฝ๐ค๐ค๐ข!
A sudden explosion appeared around us, and it was not just once but six times, the explosions kept on coming consecutively right after the other. There I looked around for the cause of the explosions and saw something in the sky that looked like a flying drone armed with missiles. The leeches did not take much damage but that helped distract them, a few seconds after the explosions ended due to the drone having no ammunition left giant footsteps and the sounds of metal clanging was to be heard. A humanoid mecha came into view from the horizon and started charging at the leeches which was only half it's size, then the mechanical structure spoke in an unfamiliar voice.
Stranger: "Are you alright you two? Is that you Captain?"
Neko: "What? Captain? Hold on, are you one of my men in roleplay?"
The mecha replied "Yeah, boss." and started hammering the leeches with it's oversized fists. After the stranger finished exterminating the giant leeches I tried to remember so hard who this person was since I didn't seem to recall having a robot in my team, then I remembered one person who specialized in creating mechas with his skills also given by Azathoth.
Neko: "Is that you, Bunny?"
Bunny: "Yeah it's me."
Me and Sakura watched the scenery. After the extermination was finished the mecha approached us and kneeled, the sound of oxygen coming out of it's hatch located in it's chest could be heard as it opened slowly. Bunny appeared from the hatch and jumped down, landing in front of me.
Bunny: "Hey there boss."
Neko: "Yo, Bunny. First time meeting you for real."
Bunny: "Same here, it's not safe here is it? How long have you been here? I was summoned to this world yesterday and found out about some interesting info."
Bunny had a properly built physique as well as white hair and bunny ears. He wore a dark blue jacket and camouflage pants along with a chest rig. People might misinterpret, but he's a demi-human like me. The only difference between us with humans when it came to appearance were some minor features such as ears and tails.
Me and Bunny proceeded with the talk while Sakura watched us silently.
Neko: "Do you know our situation, Bunny?"
Bunny: "Yeah boss, we got isekai-ed by Azathoth to this world as our roleplay characters."
Neko: "What?"
Bunny: "Simply put, we were roleplaying with the real god, he told me himself."
Neko: "Where is he now?"
Bunny: "I'm not sure."
During our talk, Sakura intervened.
Sakura: "Hows our family in the real world?"
Bunny: "I'm sorry Sakura-san but I'm not sure myself, let's just pray they're safe."
Neko: "They better be or I might retaliate at Hiiro."
After the talk, Bunny guided us into one of his mechas and from inside he was assessing some things in a somewhat bluish screen located in his front.
Neko: "Hey Bunny, I just noticed but you used your skills in roleplay didn't you? How did you do it?"
Bunny: "Azathoth transfered our skills from roleplay to us. So basically, we can use our character's skills by saying their names and imagining their right effects, try saying ๐๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ด. I spread the hover drones I made earlier to look for a way out of this desert by the way, and found a human settlement. I'm also going to look for the other roleplayers."
Neko: "So there are others here? We better meet up with the others then, anyway, ๐๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ด."
A bluish screen appeared in front of me with the following texts engraved on it:

Neko: "Heh, so this means I can actually use my skills for real now?"
Bunny: "That's right- oh wait, what the hell?"
Neko: "What's the matter? A monster again?!"
Bunny: "No, my drones spotted an irregularity."
Neko: "Give me the exact details."
Bunny: "It's... A tree house in the middle of a desert. Hold on, I see someone inside. Is that Ishigami?"
Neko: "What the hell? So he got sent here too?
Bunny made the mecha we were riding walk to the tree house's location. The destination was a bit far out and took us atleast 2 hours by mecha until we reached the treehouse. After we've come close enough, we then got out of the mecha to meet up with Ishigami.
Neko: "OTOU-SAN!"
Ishigami: "Aghhhโ[๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ: ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฃ]โ"
After I called out to him, something came flying in my direction which I dodged but after it hit the ground, it released an incredible amount of black smoke in the whole area and all my senses were disabled the moment I inhaled a small bit of it, same goes for the others.
Ishigami: "Who's thereโ๏ธ Oh right they can't hear me."
Ishigami peeked at the window and noticed that the intruders were people who looked familiar as they knew each other in the RPGC. He also seemed to be aware of the situation as he was able to use his skills. The smoke gradually disappeared and communication was finally allowed once again.
Ishigami was a roleplayer who got isekai-ed as Ishigami from Love Is War. In our previous world, he roleplayed as Ishigami but with abilities to make various types of potions due to Azathoth's help. Ishigami had black hair with long bangs covering his left eye, he wore his school uniform and a black cloak.
Ishigami: "Is that you, Nekoโ"
Neko: "Yeah ofcourse it's me."
I coughed and looked at him as the smoke cleared out.
Neko: "So Otou-san, how did you get here and what's with the treehouse?"
Ishigami: "I was just hugging my knees in my treehouse while roleplaying and my phone flashed. And here I am. I'm probably dreaming. You're all probably just a dream."
Neko: "We're not, knucklehead. Give him a wake up punch, Bunny."
Bunny punched his face as a sign that he's in reality which then knocked the latter sideways.
Ishigami: "Ouchโ what was that forโ๏ธ"
Bunny: "Awake now? Boss, we better get going or else we'll be fighting a horde of monsters at night."
Neko: "Affirmative, carry this depressed guy outta here."
Ishigami: "Noโ don't leave my tree house in the middle of the desertโ"
Neko: "What? Why would we bring a damn treehouse with us?"
Ishigami: "Just don't โ"
Neko: "Bunny, punch him again."
*Sound of someone being punched in the stomach*
Neko: "We got no reason to do that!"
Ishigami: "Just make Sakura put it in her dimensionโ it's really precious to meโ"
Ishigami kept on begging us for a way to bring along his beloved tree house for hours and finally reached to the point of putting it inside Sakura's pocket dimension created by one of her skills, just as he asked for.
After the treehouse was collected, Ishigami joined the journey. We proceeded on our plan to go to that human settlement Bunny found which took us a whole day of travel.
Ishigami: "I'm starving..."
Neko: "Don't we all."
Bunny: "Don't worry, we're close."
Sakura: "What if we do make it but still have no way of getting food?"
Everyone in the mecha stared at Sakura with the realization and got even more depressed. The scene of the said human settlement has come into view but--
What awaited us was some sort of fight, men clad in armor that seemed to be knights are attacking it's residents, what's more they have already killed more than 30% of the inhabitants.
The scene of blood and dead bodies displeased me in an instant.
I'm just really dissatisfied in seeing innocent people's bodies. Specially when I just got here. This is probably a trait Neko had.
Neko: "All units, take those guys out!!"
Bunny: "Copy."
Sakura: "Roger that, Senpai."
Ishigami: "[๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฐ:--"
Bunny: "Oy! Don't you dare transform inside my Mech--
Neko: "Shit! Bullet Shield!"
Ishigami: "๐๐ถ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ข๐ถ๐ต]โ"
In that instant, Ishigami's body began producing green liquid like substances that was unmistakable his aura, he then enlarged and became a highly muscular version of himself which would have crushed the others inside the Mecha if I didn't manifest an anti-bullet wall to protect us, the mecha split apart due to his transformation making him seven times the size of an elephant. He rushed out into battle and started taking out the perpetrators one by one skillfully by bashing their heads and pulverizing them. I promptly made my bullet shield disappear and turn into blue particles of light right after he had gone out.
NEKO: "[๐๐ข๐ค๐ฌ๐ถ๐ฑ]! Open Fire!"
White magic circles of different sizes appeared randomly around me, summoning 85 military personnel armed with different types of weaponry as well as 2 choppers.
They appeared like zombies coming out of their graves but in this case, white colored magic circles.
They begun raining down a hail of bullets at the knights who were mercilessly and one-sidedly slaughtered.
NEKO: "Open fire! Don't let even one escape! Sakura, collect any of the enemies who can no longer fight."
Sakura: "Roger that."
I joined in the fight and shot the head of a knight with my Magic God Pistol, piercing his helmet and the next his brain.
After only 30 seconds of fighting my team prevailed effortlessly and most of the knights were slaughtered and the rest held captive, I ofcourse let them live, as my interrogation tool that is.
By the time we noticed it, the residents were staring at us in fear, and so I started a conversation to ease their condition.
Neko: "Hi there, I'm Captain Neko of the Coalition forces, I came here to help you."
The citizens faces were filled with doubts and worries after my introduction and I remembered about our food problems. Mainly because I felt the acids in my stomach going mad.
Neko: "If possible, can we have food in return for getting rid of those bad guys?"
A person who looked like in his fourties approached us bravely. He seemed to be the village chief.
Village Chief: "I'm the one in charge of this little village. I thank you in behalf of everyone here for saving us."
He bowed his head with sincere and pure gratitude. Atleast that's what my instincts are saying.
Village Chief: "Earlier, you have mentioned that you needed food, is that right? Then if that is the case, we have no objections to rewarding you whatsoever."
That easily calmed the mood. As expected, if I helped them without anything in return, they might think I'm a corrupt official or some sort. So the best course of action was asking for something in return. Hitting two birds with one stone.
Bunny: "If I may ask, what kind of food do you have in store for us? If possible, I would like something with carrots in it."
Village Chief: "Oh! If that is what you desire, sir Beastkin of the rabbit race."
Neko: "Then, I want fish!"
Village Chief: "Despite our location being a desert, we have not many problems with fish in this place since we do transactions with the Molonian Capital which also raise fish."
This world is so full of surprises. I wonder what else is in store for us.
After that was a burial for the dead while during that time, I talked to the village chief, I asked for information about this world's currency and also the food supplies which he cooperated with no complaints, as expected of the village's head. At night we then discussed about our plans during dinner in the village chief's house. We all were hungry and so ate improperly with Ishigami eating the most.
Neko: "So about that captive. I interrogated him and he confessed he was from another country called Arkheist. And according to the village head we're currently in another country called Molonia, a neutral country with no such wars for the past 3 centuries."
Sakura: "A neutral country? Then why would the Arkheist kingdom attack it then?"
NEKO: "I heard Arkheist was currently at war with two other countries. Why would they be so foolish enough to attack Molonia then if they're already outnumbered?"
Bunny: "I think the two countries are trying to overpower and destroy Arkheist by number alone."
NEKO: "The question is, why are they fighting?"
Village Chief: "Territories and resources."
The village chief spoke suddenly as they were eating. He wore an annoyed look in his face as he said that.
Village Chief: "Because of those fools I lost my wife."
NEKO: "Can you tell us more about it please?"
Village Chief: "Yeah yeah gotcha, what will you do with that information."
NEKO: "Bring peace."
Village Chief: "You will what?"
NEKO: "I meant it, I will stop these pointless wars at all cost. Foolish reasons like lack of territories are their problem for not managing overpopulation. Why must other countries suffer from it?"
Village Chief: "I'm speechless. You're right... Fine."
NEKO: "Thank you for your cooperation, please tell us all you know about the current situation as well as your suggestions. They may be able to help us on our goal."
The village chief told us about what happened to his wife, apparently, his wife and children died of a pandemic 6 years ago which was thought to be caused by another country, the source was a stink dragon's corpse that has it's popularity to kill people just from it's stinky breath. It was said to have been placed on purpose near their village. He proceeded to the interesting part, he made a plan to retaliate and show the deeds made by the country who had blamed Arkheist for all it's mayhem. That country's name was Sarcia, ruled by it's foolish king Gundo Sarcia the 11th who had caused all this by overpopulating, he was famous for having bad humors about him kidnapping the women in his country and using them for his sexual lust. That country sounds like a mess.
Neko: "Now I see what we're up against, this is going to be fun."
Ishigami: "You're going to fix itโ"
Sakura: "If senpai is in, I'll join too."
Bunny: "We got your back, boss."
NEKO: "Don't come crying later."
I made a somehow sadistic smile while sweat ran down my cheek and proceeded on eating my meal. Thinking of a way to prove Arkheist's innocence and ruin Sarcia's reputation at the same time.
