(I'm bored so I'm gonna continue writing everything I ever made)
I crawled over to her bed and pulled myself onto it while Olivia herself sat on her gaming chair at her desk, the PC was on with art of anime girls on it.
'You do you girl.' I sighed as I melted into the bed, the warmth of it bringing light to my world.
I heard a chuckle from Olivia, she seemed to be watching me as I laid down. "I see you've gotten comfortable."
'Mmn.' I tried to hum in agreement, however I was so tired I only hummed in my mind.
"Seems you're quite tired, that makes sense. You've been tied to a tree for a month without a good sleeping position, so I'd assume you'd be tired."
Her words weren't really sticking in my mind with the fatigue hitting me, I could only hear her, not understand her.
"However before you fall asleep... never mind." Olivia stops her words as she notices how I was barely conscious. "Alright go to sleep."
Didn't need to hear that twice.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘༓∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
"To think that would be your choice."
I was now in a new setting, seated in a comfortable arm-chair. The room around me had transformed into that of a talk show. Behind me lay a TV and beside me was another armchair with someone already seated in it.
"She pissed me off is all, it's not like I did anything insane anyways, plus it was more of a test to see how these 'games' end." I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling where a notification window was taking up my view.
[World Complete]
[Assessment: D]
[Note: Psychopath]
[Skill Kept: Smooth Talking 1]
[Achievement Points: 10]
"Psychopath is a little harsh no? I feel emotions, and actually, I'd say I'm pretty empathetic." I swiped away the notification window and looked over at the man sitting in the other chair.
"Maybe... but still I thought you two had been getting along." The man in a monocle and suit chuckled.
"Getting along? She fed me maggots. I would never get along with someone like that."
I could feel the man staring at me before he turned away. "To not get along, and to casually kill her and her brother are two different things."
What he said, is what happened, after waking up I decided to stay with Olivia a little longer so that my body could slightly recover, and for a girl so desperate for affection as her, making her let her guard down was as easy as breathing.
The moment she felt comfortable in my presence, I stabbed her throat with a knife and did the same with her brother who was the one that helped her kidnap the original.
"She was no innocent girl in any way, first off she kidnapped the original, and by the conversations, we had later, I'm sure she has killed before, I feel no guilt in taking her life."
He chuckled softly at my words. "Alright then, I don't care if you commit genocide anyway."
"I don't think I'd ever do that, but whatever... so divine being, what can I refer to you as?" I changed the subject to something productive.
He put a finger on his chin as if pondering my question.
"Hmmm... I guess you could just call me Loki."
"Loki as in the God of Mischief?"
"No. Just Loki, technically I have no name, however, Loki is a name I like, plus I'd like not to be called a God, that word is thrown out too easily."
I was about to continue the conversation before I was cut off.
"Enough of that now! It's time for our next world on the, "If I Was There Show"! I'm your host, Loki and this is our participant Seth!" Loki began enthusiastically narrating as if he were a show host, pointing at the cameras around us while he talked.
"In the last world, our participant Seth brutally murdered the sweet serial killer who fell in love with him! But will he do that again? Let's see! For the next world is that of Saiko no Sutoka!"
"This world revolves around another young man who was kidnapped by yet another yandere serial killer and was locked in a school and forced to try and escape or die."
'Wasn't that, that one game CoryxKenshin played?'
"Now let's get a word from our participant." Loki moved the microphone to me. "Tell the audience at home how you think you'll perform in this world."
I reeled back slightly, overwhelmed by how fast pace he had been moving and the abruptness of the microphone being shoved in my face.
"Are there people actually watching this?"
"Of course! It wouldn't be a show without an audience!"
"Could you stop screaming?" I winced at the noises, my ears a little more sensitive to sound than others.
"Nope!"
I rolled my eyes and took the microphone. "Well whatever, I don't know how well I'm gonna do, but I'm sure as hell am gonna try... moderately, probably give up mid-way... I don't know I'll just try I guess."
"...How enthusiastic, but it's fine in the end. Here's the {Achievement Store} before you go."
A blue panel opened up in front of me.
[EX Rank 🔒]
[S Rank 🔒]
[A Rank 🔒]
[B Rank 🔒]
[C Rank 🔒]
[D Rank 🔓]
[E Rank 🔓]
Because of my previous rating only D and E were open for me... so I opened them. The [E Rank Store] was full of mundane items, not even any skills... and when I say mundane, I mean mundane.
[E Rank Store]:
• [Item]Pencil
Cost: 2 Achievement Points
Note: Just a normal writing pencil
• [Item]Paper Clip
Cost: 1 Achievement Point
Note: Probably gonna need a stapler too
• [Item]Cup Noodles
Cost: 4 Achievement Points
Note: Not very useful by itself unless you like dry noodles
'Well... what about D Rank?'
[D Rank Store]
• [Skill]Whisperer
Cost: 10 Achievement Points
Note: You're pretty good at whispering
• [Item]Scissors
Cost: 8 Achievement Points
Note: Some pretty good scissors, a good upgrade from the safety ones in Rank E
• [Skill]Speaking
Cost: 15 Achievement Points
Note: You should probably take up public speaking
I don't know why but looking at that skill pisses me off, even more so that I can't afford it as well.
Achievement Points: 11
The extra 7 Achievement Points I got were from completing the previous world.
'Looking at my options pisses me off so I'm just not gonna pick any of them, save my points for later.'
"I'm good off buying anything for now, Loki." I closed the panel and turned toward the shifty-looking guy.
"Aight, then off you go." With a snap, my surroundings changed, I felt like I was falling down a tunnel to who knows where. Of course, I technically know where.
At the bottom of the tunnel, I felt my soul? Or body finally reach its destination as my eyes could finally begin seeing, and what I saw was just more darkness...
'Am I blind now?'
That was not the case as my eyes began adjusting to the darkness. I was seated behind a desk, and with more investigation into my surroundings, I spotted a bookshelf to my left and right, a cabinet to my left, a picture frame on the desk, and two windows behind me that were locked with iron bars.
The problem here was that everything was painted in blood...
'I'm fuckin terrified bro.' My hands were quite literally shaking as they held onto the seat I spawned in, I felt like crying. 'This is the mode with no good endings, the main character gets chopped up in most of them doesn't he!?'
I began unconsciously tapping my right foot a mile a minute.
'Should I just kill myself? With what? Should I have bought that scissor? That'd have hurt bad though.' My heart was in my ass now, and I didn't want to move a centimeter from my chair. 'What kind of difficulty spike is this!?'
However, I wouldn't be allowed the peace of my thoughts for much longer as I saw in the window of the double doors to the office that I assume is the principal's, a red-haired woman was staring at me whilst covered in blood.
I could slightly see bunny ears on top of her head and it looked like her face was glowing.
'Is this bitch wearing glow-in-the-dark makeup?' Was my first thought.
"Ah~, Senpai~. You waited for me~!" The girl's glowing smile grew unnaturally big. "I'm so happy~!" Her words dragged on just as unnaturally as her smile.
'I apologize for disrespecting your make-up ma'am.' Was my second thought.
Bang!
The double doors flew open as the bloodied bunny girl happily skipped into the office while I stayed glued to my chair.
'It's always the fucking redheads.' I cursed.
"I thought you hated me Senpai~! Especially since you were talking to THAT GIRL this morning~." Her words grew demonic when she said "that girl" before changing back into her cutesy way of speaking a second later.
'I apologize for cursing at you in my mind.'
She then reached behind her and pulled out a bloodied machete from God knows where. "I almost thought I'd have to use this~."
'Jesus loves me, yes I know, for the Bible tells me so. Yeess Jesus lovveesss meeee.' I could only try and sing my sorrows' away.
My heart dropped even further as I saw her facial expressions change from smiling to a forced expression of sadness. She then tilted her head with one of her fingers.
"Are you afraid of me Senpai~?"
"No!" My words left my mouth faster than I could think, and more forceful than I could ever like. 'I'm gonna cry.'
Her face changed from sadness to that of anger, her glowing makeup mirroring her distorted frown.
"LIAR!"
'Jesus take the wheel.'
======================
======================
======================
A lot of worlds will be like the previous one, short asl, sometimes they can even be half a chapter just because the Mc is not someone to go out of his way for something nor put himself in danger for things he doesn't care about.
However that also doesn't mean every world will be like that, some will have their own story of up to 100+ chapters, I have most of this planned out.
-------------
Now a question to bring up here just for reference, Seth will be going to Re: Zero, not yet, but in a few more worlds, but I wanna know how others feel about this. The problem I have is that if Seth has his memories of Re: Zero it won't last more than 3 chapters, simply because he would never involve himself with the main story and simply stay out of harm. However is Seth is deprived of his memories he still won't go down the Subaru route but he will still be mixed into the plot enough to the point he won't allow himself to just give up.
So the question is:
Yes Memories
No Memories
