Chapter 154: Isekai (1)

"House dimension?"

"I can link it up with Noel's [Widget]. It's a portal you can open anywhere to access your house, a modern house. You remember what an anywhere-door is right? Think of it as something like that."

"Something like a portal to go home?"

"Something like that."

"Then how big would the house be?"

"It can be upgraded with points. I'll add quests for you to do so that you can use it to upgrade your home. A lock function would be nice, and also wifi and internet.." Unknown muttered to himself again while typing something into his UI.

There's a lot I don't understand but I'm guessing we'll just have to play around with our skills to grasp how it works when the time comes.

In the time being..

I ran my hand over Liliath's hair. Placing my palm on her exposed forehead, I gazed at her innocent sleeping face. Her chest rose and fell together with her breaths, laying vulnerably in my arms.

It's hard to explain this feeling I feel whenever I look at her but.. it's like Liliath will become my possession.. no, she already is my possession-- that kind of thing.

I guess this is what you call a demon lord's instinct huh? That's kinda dangerous. I better control myself well.

By the way, I just realized how my horns had gone away. Maybe it's a subconscious thing?

"Okay, I'll get to work on these skills so you'll have to wait a while before I finish. Any last question?" Unknown asked.

"Yes. Why were we dragged in?" Nine asked.

"No idea, you have to ask Noel about that," Unknown shrugged his shoulders.

"The effects of Noel's TALENT perhaps?" Prune said.

"Something like protagonist correct?"

Protagonist correction..

"Is there such a thing?" I asked.

"It's something like that," Unknown replied. "Sorry, but earnestly, there's no explanation I can give to why you two were dragged into the situation. It just happened."

"Whatever. I have the other me to replace me so there shouldn't be any problems.. maybe," Nine drank her milkshake.

"As for the protagonist correction thing, it exists and is part of Noel's TALENT," Unknown explained.

"Can you turn it off?"

I bet if it's on, I'd kill dragons, or meet a princess or something. Worse, I might even get Liliath involved with Javiel.

"Sorry, not possible. If I turned it off, you'd be in an even worse situation. Say if you were actually a normal person without any coincidentantal events happening, how long would it take just to get to the point of earning a stable living? Think about the reality of your world for a second. There's an incredibly high rate of unemployed people even after getting tertiary education, and those who do get employed would continue to work till they die, which is normally how life is for most people. You wouldn't want to do something like that in Liliath's world would you now?"

"Wait. This is a fantasy world isn't it?" Nine asked. "Because we don't follow the norms in the fantasy world we're going to be tranmigrated to, our actions and what we know causes a chain reaction of rapid improvement…"

"That's part of it. Let's put it this way then. The correction is for the sake of protecting you four. In a world where you can die at any time, I don't think it's a good idea to go without a bungee cord."

So this so-called correction is like a 'thing' that prevents brutal mishaps from happening. Hm.. there is some merit to that. Though it would make the world around me feel more unrealistic.. which it currently is, in return, it adds a protection to our lives.

"The heroes summoned to your world also have something similar, the blessings from the gods and goddess."

"How many heroes are there again?"

"20, including the teacher."

"Just to confirm, we're not heroes, correct?"

"That depends on how you define what a hero is. I better get to work. I'll leave the Q and A session to Bleu, I'll see you in a bit."

Saying that, Unknown finished his fourth cup of espresso, manifested a dark portal and walked into his domain. I think I saw a couple computer screens inside there. Quite a nice detail.

"So.. Bleu. We just have to kill the demon lord right?" Nine asked.

"No. It's more to do with Liliath's inner workings. Noel, do you mind pulling up your UI?"

"Oh, okay."

"Hm.. so end the war between the Empire and Demon Lord. Wait, isn't Noel a demon lord now?"

"Pretty much.."

If you put it that way, it's as if our task is to destroy the entire empire..

"The task isn't specific, however, the main purpose is so that all of you grow through a bunch of experiences. Especially Liliath."

"Eh?"

"Grow?"

"Take this as an adventurer basically?"

"Yup. The scenario-protagonist correction will make sure you stay on the right track."

"Doesn't that mean we're bound by fate or something?" I asked.

"I wouldn't say that, you still have free will do you not?"

"I don't get it.." Prune sprawled on the lone couch she was sitting on, "I'll take a short nap.."

"Oh yeah, how long will it take for our Unique Skills to be developed?" Nine asked.

"I don't think it would take long," Bleu placed her finger to her chin.

And it sure didn't take long alright. Because right after Nine asked that, we were wrapped in a white light.

"Oh, and there you go. He sure works quick. Then I wish you four all the best. Enjoy your time in this fantasy world and help each other in times of trouble!" Bleu said.

"Hey what!?" Nine's yell was drowned out into an inaudible discord.

Light blinded my vision, forcing me to squint my eyes. The temperature around me dropped, the smell of grass and wood hit my nose. The gentle breeze and dots of cold assailed my skin-- accompanied by the hard rocky ground I felt pressing against my back.

I opened my eyes and..

An entire galaxy spread out in front of me..

Two moons side by side, one had a tinge of blue, the other a tinge of red.

I sat up and looked around. Well.. I tried clenching my fist to test my movements. You know, wondering if this is like the real deal and not just a dream.

We were at some kind of stonehenge monument with rocks interlocked to form circlets. Since we were just teleported in, you could see the fading light in between the crevices of the rocks. 5 large pillars with glowing runes which resembled the symbols on the small blue particles that rained down from above-- which was the cause of the biting cold sensation I felt.

Outside of this monument was a forest of trees, and it had blue coloured leaves for some reason. A single road lined with cobblestone and gothic lamp posts that led towards a huge castle. Behind us was a collapsed stone structure.

Actually, if you look beyond the tree, you could see a very tall wall. We're like surrounded on all fronts-- is this a forest? Why would it be enclosed inside a wall?

Nine kept touching herself, Prune was in the midst of getting up, Liliath was..

"Could this be the summoning circle? There is.. Noel. I'll be going somewhere for a bit, I'll make sure to return," Liliath rubbed her eyes and shook her head to get rid of her daze then teleported away..?

Huh? Oh, she's not too far, I can still sense her from here. Oh, wait, I have spatial sense now?! Cool.

"Brr.. It's cold. I can't believe we're in a fantasy world now. This is ridiculous," Nine quickly stood up and dusted off her clothes before holding her body with both arms.

Prune blew out mist from her mouth, slightly surprised by the formation of it.

"Noel, could you access the shop," Nine said, shivering.

"Yes, why?"

"C'mon, why else do you think I asked you that? Can you get us like a magic blanket or something?"

I looked at myself.

"Is it that cold?"

Both Nine and Prune nodded.

Huh? How come.. oh right.. I'm not human anymore. That explains it.

Nine was wearing but a simple pajama while Prune fortunately had a jacket and thicker long pants on.

I brought up my UI. Sure enough, a bunch of new panels and options appeared. That said, first things first. I used the points I've saved up to buy Nine some appropriate clothes.. a heat retaining mantle? 300 points, even after the discount.

Besides the UI overhaul, I now see a plus sign floating around Prune and Nine. I wonder what that does?

"Will this work?" I asked Nine about the heat retaining mantle with a fantasy-like description.

"It creates a barrier to contain heat so.."

I bought the item and passed it to Nine. It was a nice dark blue mantle with an intricate button piece at the neck. She draped it around herself and sat down rubbing her palms inside the coat.

"Prune, do you need anything?"

"I think I can bear this for a while. Where's Liliath?" Prune asked with her ears perked up.

"Oh, she's.."

Liliath is behind the fallen stone structure behind me.. huh? The presence of another person?

Just saying an honest truth about me here. I get how some comments are directed at the novel and not me as the author, just that I sometimes take things way too personally. So to just cut the misunderstanding at the bud, I'll just not read the comments because I'm sure most don't have bad implications, (it's just me overthinking shit). So yeah.
