Chapter 1 - [1] Chapter 1: The Anomaly

I am currently watching an anime, minding my own businesss when all of a sudden

My room started to g/i1c#.

"Huh?"

I looked around with panic. Of course, who wouldn't panic when your room is literally glitching like those on the video games or other fictions.

The walls of my room started to become hologram slowly. The cieling was slowly falling down on me. And the floor was constantly glitching.

"How about I help you with those 'wishes' you want?"

A sudden voice startled me. I frankly look around to find out who was talking. And I found no one. Not a single soul.

"I can gave those 'desires' you have to you."

The voice spoke again.

What's going on? Am I going crazy? Also! What is up with my room! The whole room is literally glitching!

"All you need to do is follow my instructions."

Huh? The heck? What does this voice mean?

"Will you accept? [Suimin Zero]?"

As the voice vanished, I stop. The voice knows my name. Not only that, it was talking about my 'desires' and 'wishes'

Could it be? Did I attract some unknown being or something?

Unbeknownst to me, I was right.

This being slowly stretch out their arms infront of me.

Yup, you heard me right. His hand, I assume his a guy, is stretched out right infront of me right now.

"Uh..."

"Do not be afraid for I am no harm"

What the? The way he speaks changed all of a sudden?

"Uh... Thy I question?"

"Speak normally. Zero."

"I could say the same thing to you!!"

I heard the voice coughed a little before continuing on what he was trying to say to me.

"So Zero, would you like to accept?"

"Accept what? Did I do something wrong? Or do I need to do something?"

"You weren't completely listening earlier now were you?"

"I mean... If you look around me right now... My room is literally glitching! So would be I able to focus on what you were trying to say?"

"Fair enough. Ahem!"

"What I was trying to say is that, would you like to make your wishes come true? The desire that you want to complete?"

"Uh... Wait? What kind of wish? I mean... I could think a lot right now..."

"The wish of having to experience the thrill of adventure!"

"The experience of girls fighting for your attention!"

"The ultimate experience of an eternal bliss!!"

"Uh..."

I looked at the camera on my side, which was you viewers are currently viewing right now.

Or I guess reading? I mean, technically there is no visual presentation here.

Anyway, back to this being or whatever voice is.

"I guess... That would be fine..."

"Then, grab the hand that is right infront of you."

"Is this safe though--"

As I grab the hand, I was immediately pulled back. I couldn't do anything nor think of anything at that time. And strange enough, I passes through the glitching wall that was once my room.

...

On the other side, I was met by a blinding light that almost destroyed my eyes.

"Welcome. [Suimin Zero]. This is my home."

I heard a voice that came from my front. And as my eyes gradually adjust to the light, I saw a being standing right infront of me.

He was wearing a black hoddie, a hawaiian short paired with sandals. He also has a sunglasses on his eyes. It was like he was on a beach vacation.

"Uh... Is that you? The voice that keeps talking to me?..."

He smirked and arrogantly said

"Who else?"

"No offense but you have a bad taste on fasion."

"That's the first thing you said upon seeing me?!"

"I mean... Seriously though... Who wears a jacket PAIRED with a Hawaiian like short and sandals? I mean... I would've accept a long sleeve but a hoddie? Black at that?"

"..."

I stopped and realized what I just said.

"Sorry... You see, I hate seeing something out of place... You know..."

"Just my quirk I guess?"

The being looked at me then laughed. His laugh send shivers down my spine.

Why? I mean, his laugh is like pennywise but on steroids.

Exactly. Its horrible.

"So, your also insulting my laugh now?"

He glared at me.

"Ah! Did I say that out loud? My bad..."

He sighed and continue.

"Enough small talk. Since you accepted it, I'll explain everything from you."

I looked at him and listen in closely.

"What I said earlier wasn't a joke. I can fulfill that wish, that desire. But there is one thing you have to do to me in exchange."

"Nothing is truelly free huh. Even from this being. Am I right?"

As I lean in closer to the camera (to you viewers) beside me and whisper.

He watch me confuse. He didn't know what I was doing nor why I am seemingly talking to myself.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Ah! Ahem. No one."

The being sighed and continue.

"So what I was saying is that, you have to do something to me. And that something is to remove [Anomalies]."

I stopped and stared at him confuse.

"Uh... Anomalies? Like, from stranger things? Or like the special monster from sweet homes? Or maybe from the predator 1&2? Wait, is that even exist? The two I mean."

"No. I am talking about an existence that disrupt the universe itself. And existence that shouldn't exist. An existence that should be remove from the universe."

I just listen and stared at him confused.

"An [Anomaly] is an existence that ignores the rules of the universe. The rules does not apply to them. Be it a being, an object, a power, abilities and more."

I am now even confuse. He also saw my confusion and added.

"The rules that I am talking about is like this, in the [One Piece] world, there are rules like, 'you will not be able to swim upon eating a devil fruit' or 'you cannot have two devil fruits or your body will explode'."

"So just like blackbeard?"

"No. He still follows the rule."

"Eh?..."

I was confuse but slowly starting to understand what he was trying to point out.

"So... You want me to travel across multiple universe, remove the anomaly, then repeat the process for eternity? I mean, universes are infinite right? I may not be an astrology scientist, but I know there are infinite of them in the space."

A smile creep up to his face. The smile is so distorted that even pennywise' smile looks cute in comparison.

"That is right. I like you are quick to catch on. You really do live up to your existance. [Suimin Zero], the strangest anomaly that I even encountered."

I stop and slowly widden my eyes in shock upon revelation. My hands slowly start to shake. My voice were slightly shaken and husky.

"W-wait... W-what do you mean... 'the strangest anomaly' you encounter?..."

"I said what I said. You yourself is an anomaly. And that got me thinking, if I use an anomaly to remove an anomaly, wouldn't that be two bird with one stone?"

"Since rules doesn't apply to you, why not use it?"

He smile widden further in. It was now a nightmare fuel when you get to sleep.

Even AM wouldn't be able to stay composed in front of that smile.

"So, what do you say? Even if you accept earlier, you still didn't know the truth that time. But how about now?"

Our eyes locked into each other, staring for a few seconds before he continue.

"Or will I remove you from the existence right about now?"

"Choose wisely"

The heck?! How did it escalate to this! I thought he was friendly being or something!

"I mean... Its basically a yes or yes for me... If I choose the first one, I would be fine. And if I choose the other one, I need to be fine."

I answer. Slowlly getting over the truth that I jest heard earlier. I mean, it won't affect me that much but it is still worries me.

I mean, I could be erased by him at any moment since I am an anomaly. And by the looks of it, he doesn't like anomalies unless its important nor he needs to changed that perseption for something.

"Very good. I like your answer. Since you accepted it, I'll give you a gift. Since you won't likely survive being 'you' out there."

He grin before snapping his fingers.

"Huh?"

A blue hologram appeared in front of my face. It was like a status screen on those fictions or games.

"This is..."

[Universal System]

• Status

• Universe

• Gallery

• Quest

• Universal Card Storage

"Uh... This is?..."

I looked at him and point at the hologram infront of me.

"Just think of it as a guide. This will help you throughout your adventure. It will also help you remove anomalies. And as for how to remove them, its up to you."

He smirked.

"So you mean, this is for me? Then, how can I looked for more information on what it can do?"

"Just tap at the word icon on the screen. It will automatically bring you there."

"Noted..."

I tap at the [Status] icon. As expected, the hologram expanded vertically and now, I was met by a familiar screen.

[Status]:

Name: Suimin Zero

Gender: Male (can be changed according to the universe)

Age: 18 (can be changed according to the universe)

Race: Human

Bind Anomaly: (0)

"Uh... Is this it?"

The being nodded.

"The 'Bind Anomaly' feature that you are seeing is a feature that let you use what the anomaly you bind have. Powers, skills, abilities, anything. As long as you bind them, you can get what they have."

My eyes widden in shock. Does that mean, if I bind someone powerful like wanda, doesn't that mean I can use wanda's powers?

"Right. But this doesn't count as 'removing the anomaly'. You have to remove them out of the universe, in order to be count as one. It doesn't matter what kind of remove you have to do. Kill, destroy, eliminate, it doesn't matter. As long as it is gone from the universe, it will be okay."

"Understood... Next is..."

I looked at the 'X' button at the top and press it. It lead me back to the main screen.

I then tap at the [Universe] icon. The screen expanded the same way for the [Status] screen.

[Universe]:

Current Universe: (not currently in)

Past Universe: (doesn't have yet)

"Oh... So is this the icon that will help me identify where I am at."

"That is right. It can also tell you where you can find the [anomaly], and why is it an [anomaly]"

I looked at him and asked.

"So... How am I an anomaly?"

I got him a little reaction from that question, before grinning.

"That is... Confidential you see."

"Confidential my ass! The author just didn't have any idea what to put on!"

"Huh?"

"Ahem! Anyway, into the next one!"

I tap at the [Gallery] icon.

"Hmm... This is..."

[Gallery]:

Memories - (0)

Unforgivable Moments - (0)

Sex Scene - (0)

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Hold up! What is up with the last one?!"

I panic as I cover the last part of the screen.

"Hm? What's what?"

"The last pannel dude! The sex scene!"

"Oh? That? I thought you might need some motivation to keep going. You know, to have fun--"

"Enough! Enough! I get it!"

I said, while stopping his mouth from saying anything and blushing from what he was about to say.

"L-lets just move on..."

I tap at the [Quest] icon.

[Quest]:

Current Quest: (1)

[Remove the Anomalies | Rank Ex]

- As you met a being, you were offered an undeniable choice. You have to remove every single anomaly that exists on the multiverse. Whether it is fiction or non-fiction from your past. Upon removing one, you will receive 1 [Universal Card] as a reward.

Finished Quest: (0)

"This is... Self-explanatory..."

"That is right. This is the quest you need to complete before moving to the next universe. You have to complete it no matter what."

"Right... And it has level of difficulty right?"

"Mhm. The lowest is rank is E, and the highest is SSS. As the rank goes up, the higher the difficulty it will be. Sometimes, it even take 10 years or more to complete it. So you have to focus on it or you will be stuck on that universe. And being stuck at a universe is well, explosive."

"Literally."

I was startled again. This sure is to much for a mortal like me.

"That is because, two anomalies together on a universe won't do any good. Since one anomaly is enough to cause bad effects, two will be bad. Extremely bad, in any way that is."

"Noted... Anyway, unto the last one!"

I tap at the [Universal Card Storage] icon.

[Universal Card Storage]:

Mythic Card: (1)

[Universal System]

Legendary Card: (0)

Epic Card: (0)

Rare Card: (0)

Uncommon Card: (0)

"So... Um..."

I looked at him before he start to explain.

"This is where you will get help removing the anomalies. Think of [Universal Card] as a gacha game. As the rank goes up, so is the prize. And as for the prize? It can be anything. Beings? Races? Powers? Abilities? Skills? Objects? Weapons? Anything! You can get anything you can imagine just by having the universal card."

"And the only way to get them, is through your first enter on a universe, and that Ex rank quest of yours."

"But rest assured! That quest of yours will never get finished. Just like you said, it will be a infinite or limitless amount that just keep coming."

He grin as he looked at me.

"Noted.."

"And that is about it! So how about you start now?"

"Uh... Sure?"

He snap his fingers and a black door slowly emerged from the ground.

"This is kinda... Anticlimactic?..."

As the door fully emerged above ground, he laughed.

"Hop in and start everything."

He grin while looking at me.

I gulp and slowly walk towards the door. I then open it and looked at the being.

"Uh... Do you have anything important to say?"

He shake his head.

"Nothing I could remember."

"O-okay..."

I then step inside while the door slowly close behind me.

Starting the crazy but amazing adventure I will go through.
