Adam generally considered himself a smart person
Now, he wasn't arrogant by any stretch. But that still doesn't take away the pride he feels when he is reminded the fact that through having access to the right sources, a bit of luck, and planning, he went from a normal human to a very powerful person who also has the potential to get even more powerful
But even with his smarts, even with his power, he still finds himself at a bit of a loss in this situation
[Asterios: How do I say this? Your situation is complicated as there are a lot of parallel versions of you with different fates...]
Adam wasn't really sure how to put Jean's fate into simple words. Although he hasn't watched the Dark Phoenix movie, he knows her fate mainly because of a mix of spoilers, wiki and fan fictions
[Rias: Is she really so tragic?]
[Good slime: For Adam to be so reluctant to tell someone their fate...]
[Advocate of gender equality: Did you say parallel versions? Is that also why you don't tell us our future? Because it definitely wouldn't be the same or something?]
"Huh? When did Kazuma, of all people, suddenly got so smart?" He questioned himself as a trace of astonishment flashed on his face
[Tragic Phoenix: The multiverse theory is true...?]
[Tragic Phoenix: You saying that makes me want to know my fate even more.... Please tell me, even if it isn't pleasant]
He has refrained from telling the members that their whole lives is just fiction from where he came from, and for a good reason, at that. He also hasn't told them their future fates
After all, fiction is something "fixed", once it is produced, the characters and the world have a fixed fate, this is the so called "plot"
And now that for him, fiction has become reality, the "plot" Is more loose, and fate is fickle. Everything can change with just a small difference, and his mere existence might invoke the butterfly effect and result in a huge unprecedented future
But...
[Asterios: Well, how do I start? A bald, disabled mind raping bastard basically basically sealed the Phoenix inside you, causing it to give you a split personality which went "dark" and wanted to destroy the whole planet, and it also caused you to lose the chance to ever train or get your powers under control]
[Tragic Phoenix: ...]
[Asterios: I think in some univeres, he loved you as a woman or something? Well anyway, your husband also had sex with your clone after you died, and then he also cheated on you by having a psychic affair with another woman when you died once again... Although it is confusing, you die many times, and this is how your future is in most universes, but hey, maybe you are one of the lucky Jean Greys?]
[Tragic Phoenix: ....]
[Red Princess: Ugh, your husband reminds me of my scumbag fiance. I would be lucky if he starts liking another woman and cancels our engagement]
Case in point, he was very blunt about her future. He may have exaggerated some things, but it was the truth
Xavier did all of those things because he thinks that everything he does is for "The greater good", and Scott is just a plain and useless asshole
"Tch, what an idiot..." He cursed Scott Summers out loud for his idiotic behavior and meager intelligence
Well, he can't really blame that guy, Emma Frost is very hot, after all. But couldn't he have them all? Why choose between Jean, her clone or Emma when you can have all three of them?
[Good slime: It hasn't happened yet, but I still sympathise with your situation...]
[Advocate of gender equality: Wow, now I feel sorry for you. I guess I'm lucky I got a useless goddess and not a bastard god]
[Shiraori: Classic Marvel....]
[Just Monika: ....]

It's been 1 week since then, and Jean hasn't replied yet
It is understandable, after dropping such a bomb on her, it was within Adam's expectations that she wouldn't send a message to the Chat Room again for a while
While he was sure she was trying to digest the information he dropped on her. The Chat Room also had unexpected tension
Although he is a little surprised, it is also understandable. Without knowing her personally, the members don't really know how to comfort her, not to mention that she is also new and not known too well by the others
There was also a new addition to the Chat Room...
[As all members have joined the Chat Room, a new feature has been unlocked]
[The Missions hall is now open]
He was still in his room when that notification appeared
Adam was amazed by that, he knows that it is a cliche in Chat Room fan fictions, but he thought that this specific Chat Room was only for chatting and for visiting other member's worlds
He put his hand under his chin as he pondered
... He had to reconsider the purpose of the Chat Room. After all, missions are a big thing, sure it will give them points, but it is still a mission issued by an unknown entity with unknown goals
Still, this is way above his pay grade, he is far too weak in the grand scale of the Omniverse to continue this line of thought. Although it annoys him, he still knows when to draw the line and stop
[Asterios: This is interesting, don't you think?]
He took the initiative and be the first one to send a message this time
[Advocate of gender equality: So the Chat Room also has quests? What are we then?]
[Good slime: Interdimensional adventurers?]
[Monika: Multiversal slave labourers?]
[Shiraori: Hey~! As long there are rewards, I don't mind doing missions!]
"That's an.... Interesting way of subtly saying that we are system slaves...." He muttered under his breath, a flash of interest crossing his blue eyes at the way the members interpreted the new feature
[Red Princess: Does that mean we can visit anime world?! Can I eventually go to the world of Drag-so-Ball?!]
[Asterios: .....]
[Asterios: Seems like you really want me to spank you... But don't worry, after I spank you, I will give you many anime and manga of my previous world so you can experience real culture!]
[Shiraori: Yeah~! She should know her place Adam~!]
[Good slime: Hey.... I also want anime and manga...]
[Asterios: Don't worry wifey~ I will also give you lots of anime, manga and light novels to read~]
Adam smiled fondly as he typed the last message with a gentle expression, he really liked Rimuru
Back then he didn't have the sub-skill [Stomach] to store his things. Now in addition with Great Sage, he will give her most anime, manga and light novels that he read in his previous life
[Just Monika: .....]
[Red Princess: I-I am conflicted. I want to thank you, but I also don't want to get s-spanked...]
[Red Princess: But if you give me anime and manga in exchange.... Then I guess it's a-alright...]
He raised his eyebrow in surprise, he didn't really expect Rias to lower her pride in order to get so anime and manga
Well, she is an Otaku. And she also stopped being lazy and actually started training, so he guesses it is quite reasonable
... He undermined and underestimated Rias... She is quite talented, all she needs is the motivation to stop being lazy
[Advocate: Bastard bishounen! What about me?! A fellow man of culture you are my ass!]
[Asterios: Sorry Scuzuma, I prefer beautiful girls over a sweaty NEET like you]
[Advocate of gender equality: Damn! Have you no shame!? What about the bro code!?]
"Haha..." Adam chuckled out loud
Bantering with Kazuma is always fun, it always makes him relax. Although he prefers bantering and teasing a beautiful girl like Kiana, it is not so bad to hang out with a male friend once in a while
[Asterios: No, have YOU forgotten about the bro code? Because the most important rule of the bro code, is that if your homie becomes a girl - he should let you be the first one to smash]
[Asterios: So all I'm saying is, that if you turn into a girl and let me smash, I will also give you all my anime and manga]
[Advocate of gender equality: ....]
[Just Monika: I don't think the so called "bro code" has such a rule]
[Shiraori: Adam, that's very sus of you...]
[Asterios: Ahem... No homo]
"This is very awkward...." Adam exclaimed as he looked at the Chat Room
He is just stating facts, okay?! This is one of the most important rules of the bro code!
[Advocate of gender equality: No, no, he has a point!]
See! Even Kuzuma agrees with hi-
[Advocate of gender equality: But there is no way in hell I'm going to turn into a girl just for some anime and manga! I'm perfectly straight you bastard!]
[Asterios: Uh, same. That's why I said you have to turn into a girl first, even then, I think I would be disgusted just by the thought that you are mentally a man]
[Advocate of gender equality: ....]
[Good slime: Um, is that why you were comfortable when we took baths together? You thought I was a man so you didn't care if I saw your t-thing?]
[Just Monika: Oh~? Are you sure that this isn't just an excuse~? Maybe Adam wants to take advantage of you~]
[Good slime: N-no! I didn't tell him my gender, and slimes are genderless so....]
[Red Princess: That's understandable, I also take baths together with my peerage in the hot springs. Although Kiba always goes to another one as he is a male]
"...." He didn't know what to say
No, it wasn't like he was so speechless that he couldn't form a sentence. It's just that he couldn't think of anything to reply to that
"Errr, Kiba likes boys...?" That's all that comes to his mind at this moment, as Kiba has so many girls following after him at school and yet he does nothing
In canon, he never initiates any romantic relationships with anyone of Rias' peerage, so it is normal to doubt his tastes
[Asterios: Weren't we talking about missions earlier?]
[Advocate of gender equality: Weren't you the one who started this whole thing?!]
[Shiraori: Oh, yeah~! Admin-kun, do you know anything about this?]
[Good slime: Ah! Good point! Adam, do you know anything we don't?]
Adam's lips twitched as he saw their responses, it seemed Shiraori was getting jealous of his Admin privileges!
Next time they meet, he has to give the spider a good spanking session...
He understands that it is his responsibility as the admin, but he is still a little sour
[Asterios: Ehem! It is simple, we get a mission, we visit the specified world, we complete the mission, then we return back to our worlds with more points in our account]
[Asterios: Simple, right?]
[Red Princess: Understood]
[Good slime: Eh, so it is like quests and missions in isekai anime? That's easy]
[Monika: This is simple and self explanatory. I wonder why you wanted to bother the Admin for an explanation~?]
[Shiraori: I don't know what you're talking about~]
[Advocate of gender equality: Yup, it is exactly the same as the adventurers guild, but with other worlds]
"At least they catch on quickly...." Adam muttered in appreciation that most of the Chat Room members were otakus and weebs who are well educated on this subject
He didn't want to explain these things in detail to some rookies who didn't know anything about their situation
