[Singularity Found at the End]: What’s up, did I miss anything?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: I just got online too. Came back from school.
[Zero Sanity]: You two kept me waiting. Anything pleasant going on?
[Singularity Found at the End]: More or less. I slept wonderfully last night after yesterday’s fiasco.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: I had trouble falling asleep, and not for the reasons you think involving the Doctor’s world.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Who are you saying that to when I’m the only other person to know the context? (ー_ー)
[Zero Sanity]: What are you two talking about?
[Singularity Found at the End]: It’s nothing.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: It’s nothing.
[Zero Sanity]: Alright…It doesn’t sound like you two have too much going on. I wish I could enjoy that kind of downtime! They’re keeping me busy here, getting me acquainted with Rhodes Island.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: I can’t help you much over there. Y’know, with school and everything.
[Singularity Found at the End]: I’m pretty busy myself. I was forced to agree to go on dates with several people for my actions of going to the Doctor’s world.
Indeed, I’m obligated to stay in my world with my lovers for some time. My little stunt has earned me a long ban from visiting other worlds.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: …
[Zero Sanity]: …
[Singularity Found at the End]: Why has everyone gone quiet?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Oh, I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with the fact that you admitted to cheating on your wife with several other women!?
[Zero Sanity]: That is indeed asking for trouble. And you know what else is? You exposing the group chat to other people!
Ahh, so that’s why they’re reacting like this.
[Singularity Found at the End]: I forgot to mention this before, but I have a harem in my world.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: O_o?
[Zero Sanity]: O_o?
[Singularity Found at the End]: And some of them have connections to the company behind the group chat.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: ???
[Zero Sanity]: ???
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Details, now!
[Singularity Found at the End]: Me having a harem or the group chat?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Both!
[Singularity Found at the End]: What can I say, things operate a bit differently here in Trinia. The world has a medieval look and feel, but beneath the surface, the technology is surprisingly advanced.
[Singularity Found at the End]: The gender ratio here is about 7:3, with women outnumbering men. It’s common for a man to have two or more women by his side, seen as a sign of his value. This is natural, even among commoners.
[Singularity Found at the End]: And no, this doesn’t diminish the value of women in any way. It’s simply how things work here. Managing time with each partner is more flexible, too, since longer lifespans shape a different sense of time. It’s normal for a woman to be apart from her partner for months, even years.
[Singularity Found at the End]: This way of thinking is so deeply rooted here that a man choosing to be monogamous is viewed as odd, even a bit pitiful.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Are you following me?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: It’s kind of hard to swallow. (╯°A°)╯
[Zero Sanity]: That’s another world for ya…
[Zero Sanity]: How long of a lifespan are we talking here?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Humans here have an average lifespan of about 100 years. Certain human-like species, like Elves, live much longer. Demons have a wide range; some live for thousands of years, while others are outright immortal. The Gods, of course, are also immortal.
[Zero Sanity]: That makes sense. In my civilization, longer lifespans also shifted our sense of time, which, along with other factors, led humans to become much less intimate with each other over time.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Your civilization? That sounds odd. How can you mention something about other civilizations when you have amnesia…
[Zero Sanity]: That’s actually something I wanted to discuss with you all, but let’s hold that off until Kaito finishes.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Sure, let’s wait and hear him brag about all of the amazing women he’s landed. I’ll bet that Alyssa chick you brought with you was your woman too.
[Singularity Found at the End]: I won’t deny that I have a lot of incredible women as my lovers. Humans such as Lilia-san, Sieg-san, Alyssa…Demons like Kuro, Isis-san, Lillywood-san…And even Gods like Shiro-san, Fate-san, Life-san…and a whole bunch more. Huh, I’ve really worked quite a number in my life here in Trinia.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Aaagh, shut up, we’re not here to listen to your history as a Don Juan. (╬￣皿￣)
[Zero Sanity]: And about you sharing the group chat to others?
[Singularity Found at the End]: The only ones who know are my lovers and close friends. It's not dangerous for them to be aware of it. The group chat is private, non-users can’t see it, let alone interact with it. The Administrator of our server from HIGCS, that’s the company behind the group chat service, confirmed this when they visited me earlier.
[Zero Sanity]: …And why would the admin pay you a visit?
[Singularity Found at the End]: To disclose information about my rank 4 account and the special treatment afforded to me.
[Zero Sanity]: So that’s why your username has a gold color. Why do you have that rank?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Because Shiro-san is someone they find scary. To not incur her wrath, they gave me this rank to ensure I get preferential treatment.
[Zero Sanity]: Can you give me more details about that? Or is that not something we’re supposed to know?
[Singularity Found at the End]: You guys will find out about it later anyways. It won’t hurt to tell you now. Shiro-san is the former God of Apocalypse who ended several World Creators and their worlds for billions of years in the past. Her power places her as the greatest threat to all of creation.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: …
[Zero Sanity]: …
[Singularity Found at the End]: That’s all in the past of course. Now she happily lives in the world she created together with me.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: The story makes zero goddamn sense. I can’t believe this guy I’m talking to…
[Singularity Found at the End]: Would it be bad if I said the former boss of HIGCS was turned into my guard dog by Shiro-san years ago? I think I mentioned her before to Minato-kun. Her name is Nebula.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: WHAT DID YOU SAAAAAYYY!?
[Zero Sanity]: I’m speechless…Is it too late to bow down and offer my prayers to you?
[Singularity Found at the End]: No bowing. And no praying. Seriously.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Okay, to summarize, you know everyone who is important, and there's a high chance they belong in your harem or are a target to drag them into.
[Singularity Found at the End]: I wouldn’t put it like that, but that’s the basic gist of it.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Hey, Kaito-san, we’re good friends, right? I haven’t offended you to the point that you’d want to exact divine punishment on me, have I?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Relax, I’m not planning on doing any of that. Not now or ever.
[Zero Sanity]: We can process Kaito’s…identity and numb our minds later. Tell us what you’ve discussed with the admin.
I did as asked and explained to them everything that occurred between me and Raven-san.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Wow…so we had to figure everything out on our own because the admin was too busy, all thanks to you, Kaito-san.
[Zero Sanity]: That goes to show how much of a difference there is between us and him.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Say, was the admin hot?
[Singularity Found at the End]: I’d say Raven-san is indeed a beautiful woman. Her divinity wasn’t diminished in the slightest in the presence of Shiro-san.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: What about her boobs? Were they big?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Pretty big. I’m estimating them to be E-cups.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Are you speaking from experience or just making an educated guess?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Experience.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Tch.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Is it really okay to be talking about this? You know she’s going to see this conversation later.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Meh.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Still, how suave you are, Kaito-san. You didn’t hesitate to admit your experience. I had a few ideas from your advice last night, who knew it was much more extensive than I originally thought?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Must’ve gone through quite the night with a partner after coming home from Rhodes Island.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Like you’re one to talk. Someone who walked into adulthood for only a single day.
[Zero Sanity]: ……Oh, you two are so naughty.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: And the widower finds out! Too bad you had no one to keep you company after being rescued.
[Zero Sanity]: I don’t need someone else’s warmth to comfort me. Unlike you, I’m not someone who just recently lost their virginity, that happened over 13,000 years ago.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Excuse me for being doubtful, but how’s that possible when all I’ve seen is you being covered in that mask and hood? Did women back then have such exotic tastes in men?
On screen, the Doctor was silent for a moment before pulling down his mask and hood, revealing his face. Despite his supposed age, he looked surprisingly young, though with an air of exhaustion, like someone who’d been overworked in an office for far too long. His unkempt white hair added to the weary impression.
Spoiler
[collapse]
[Zero Sanity]: Are you satisfied?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: *whistle* I can see a good reason for why women might want you.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: But how would you know about losing your virginity when your head’s filled with nothing but air?
And Minato-kun struck there. How expected of you…
[Zero Sanity]: Funny you should say that, that’s what I’ve been wanting to talk about. I’m not an amnesiac anymore and the two of you are the only ones who know now.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Damn, only the two of us? So Rhodes Island’s not reliable enough to fix your noggin if they’re not the one responsible.
[Zero Sanity]: Nah, it happened during the Reunion outbreak in Chernobog. Kaito fed me one of his Fruits of the World Tree and recovered my lost memories.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: He gave you one too? Kaito-san be handing out the good shit to everyone.
[Zero Sanity]: Couldn’t agree more. He’s truly exceptional in every way. ヽ(￣д￣)ノ
[Zero Sanity]: Not only is his combat power beyond impressive, but the people around him are practically god-like figures.
[Zero Sanity]: His connections to HIGCS and rank bring benefits that will help us all.
[Zero Sanity]: We’re incredibly fortunate to have someone like him on our side.
[Singularity Found at the End]: While I won’t deny my position is…nonstandard, and the clearances of my rank are indescribable, how exactly do you suggest I use it to bring about the benefits you have in mind?
[Zero Sanity]: What’s the cutoff of points that lets you take items from the [Shop] as much as you want?
[Singularity Found at the End]: For rank 4, I can take any items that cost 3000 points or less.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: ……Holy shit.
Minato-kun widened his eyes from the realization and the Doctor took a moment to calm his excited breath.
[Zero Sanity]: How much did it cost you to buy the [Defodiase] you gave me?
[Singularity Found at the End]: 3000…3000 points.
[Zero Sanity]: Okay…Is there a limit to how many you can take?
[Singularity Found at the End]: No. I can have as many as I want. Taking hundreds of thousands by the bulk is feasible.
[Zero Sanity]: What about food and water?
[Singularity Found at the End]: That’s much cheaper. Those don’t have a cap for purchase either.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: You could solve world hunger with that kind of privilege…
[Zero Sanity]: How about housing?
[Singularity Found at the End]: There’s a lot in here. Plenty of decent ones within the price range. I can buy a house, carry it everywhere and drop it down as a portable living space.
[Zero Sanity]: ……This one’s wishful thinking, but what about methods of bringing dead people back to life?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: !?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Sorry, that one’s far from what my rank allows.
[Zero Sanity]: I figured. But it does exist, resurrecting the dead. I couldn’t find it in my shop, but you can see everything there is, Kaito.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Is there someone you want to bring back to life?
[Zero Sanity]: There is. And many more. Too many to count. And since there’s an opportunity in front of me, I want to work hard and reach for that possibility.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Whoa, slow down. Resurrecting the dead is no laughing matter. Stuff like that comes with heavy consequences.
[Singularity Found at the End]: You might have a point, Minato-kun. But that’s not an issue for me. For I have the power to revive dead people without the heavy consequences attached to it.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: ??????
[Zero Sanity]: ??????
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Sumimasen?
[Singularity Found at the End]: You can say the line between life and death is rather thin for the powerhouses in Trinia. Fighting to the death as competition, coming back to life afterwards…that’s treated as normal for someone who exists around the top of the hierarchy. In my case, it comes from a blessing, allowing me to revive others at a hefty cost of my magical energy.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: A White Mage…A really overpowered White Mage…
[Zero Sanity]: Is there nothing you can’t do?
[Singularity Found at the End]: Uhhh…Now that’s a difficult question to answer when I think about it more deeply.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: From now on, you are the leader of our group chat.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Huh? Why??
[Zero Sanity]: I’m down with that.
[Singularity Found at the End]: You too!?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: I thank whomever it was that brought this sugar daddy into our lives.
[Zero Sanity]: Audacious as it is, I hope you can form a partnership with me. I’m in desperate need of your power if I want to fulfill my wishes. I’m willing to work to earn your support.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Really, you can just ask for my help. I don’t plan to make you feel indebted or charge for every little thing.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: …Are you serious?
[Zero Sanity]: T-That’s too much…
[Singularity Found at the End]: I mean it. If it’s within my power, I don’t mind lending as much of my support to you. We’re all part of the same server, and it’s only natural to look out for each other in times of need. That’s what I believe this group chat is for.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Whoa…I'll be completely real with you, I’ve never met a more open-hearted person than you, Kaito-san.
[Zero Sanity]: You are far too kind that it’s overwhelming.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: And sweet. Too sweet that your naivety boggles the mind.
[Singularity Found at the End]: It’s how I choose to live my life.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: And I respect that, but it’ll make you vulnerable to those with ill intent.
[Zero Sanity]: He’s the lover of a god who created an entire world. I seriously doubt anyone would try anything stupid against him. And if they did, I’d pity them.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: All I’m saying is he needs someone to protect him when we’re stranded in another world again.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Oh, are you volunteering, Minato-kun?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Pfft…Regardless, here’s to a beautiful friendship, leader.
[Singularity Found at the End]: Likewise. The same goes for you, Doctor.
[Zero Sanity]: I look forward to our partnership, Kaito.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: With that out of the way, what else can your rank do?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: There must be some hidden stuff in the settings.
I considered Minato-kun’s words and navigated to the settings page. I found my profile and there was a new edit button, so I pressed it.
[<Singularity Found at the End> has changed their name to <Singularity>]
[Singularity]: That looks much better.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Nice, wish I could have that. Seriously, why is that not a default option when you join in?
[Zero Sanity]: Not satisfied with your username, Minato? I quite like mine.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Yeah? At least you’re not burdened with one as disgraceful as mine.
[Zero Sanity]: And thank god my luck’s not as abysmal as yours. Speaking of luck, there’s a gacha on here. I don't have enough points to use it, but I do believe Kaito got most of his points refunded for him to try it.
[Singularity]: The gacha, huh? I was saving my points for when I’d need to visit someone’s world, but that’s a useless worry when I can come and go as I please to any world.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Then what are you waiting for? Try it!
[Zero Sanity]: Let me take a look at the rates for a moment.
☆☆☆☆☆Probability: 0.0000001%☆☆☆☆★Probability: 2.9999999%☆☆☆★★Probability: 7.0%☆☆★★★Probability: 30.0%☆★★★★Probability: 60.0%[Zero Sanity]: …These rates are garbage!
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Yup, clearly a money sink. You got something you want urgently, Kaito-san?
[Singularity]: Not really.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Then humor us this one time. I promise I won’t be too judgemental on your luck.
I raised an eyebrow at the smirk on Minato-kun’s face on the screen. He doesn’t have a clue how things work around me.
[Singularity]: I have enough to fulfill the 4500 points requirement to do it.
[Zero Sanity]: Good luck, Kaito. For what little it’s worth.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: I wouldn’t feel too bad even if all you get is trash. Not when you’ve got loads of women to run towards for comfort.
[Singularity]: Minato-kun, you’re setting up a really huge flag.
[<Singularity> has attempted the 10x gacha!]

[Singularity]: （ ﾟ Дﾟ)

[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: （ ﾟ Дﾟ)
With my ridiculous luck, I was expecting something outrageous, but I’m still blown away by the results I got. All of these, except for the last one, sound amazing. And what’s a White Fatalis? That sounds so cool!
[Singularity]: Listen guys, this was unexpected for me too.
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Goddamn it, I shouldn’t have said anything!
[Zero Sanity]: Kaito, are you the illegitimate child of the group chat?
[Gekkoukan's One-Eyed Monster]: Hah! I’m not the only one who thought of that!
Afterword:
Serious-senpai: "Can you please stop cheating the system with your immeasurable luck!? You jinxed it with your uncaring attitude and now you're supered up with those cheat items!"
