- I've always admired it.

Keita Ono (Oonokeita) is a regular high school student everywhere.

Cartoons and cartoons are my hobby, and although I have a slight weakness, the title (category) of so-called 'normal high school students' suits me very well, even with it.

For him like that, Nishino was an admirer.

Cool, highly communicative, hot for girls, always at the heart of the group, a hero who can be counted on by anyone.

I always thought Ono would be able to be like that.

But the reality didn't work.

If I took the initiative of my class, I was certified as just a user-friendly parsley.

Seriously, take a class, take a good point, how serious are you? and teased.

Even with the same behavior, the same results, Ono couldn't be like Nishino.

Why isn't it working?

Why can't I?

Thinking that way, I still couldn't leave the side of Nishino, and the boring days went on.

One day, the world changed.

Levels, skills, and professions existed, making it a game like a world full of monsters.

With the confusion and fear spreading, Ono nevertheless felt somewhere elevated.

- In this world, I can be a hero myself.

Because in this world, you can make full use of the knowledge of comics, novels, and games you've been reading. No, I thought maybe I could get some cheat skills and be like the protagonist I admire.

But such sweet fantasies are shattered by reality.

The battle with the monsters was scarier than expected, and instead of fighting, the boy, who had never even grabbed a knife in his life, was overloaded.

Game knowledge was somewhat helpful, but other than that, the degree of luggage holding.

In contrast, Nishino quickly grasped the situation and instantly put his people together.

In the end, when the world changed, nothing changed.

The boy stands in the same position as before.

No, on the contrary, it's gotten worse.

He killed the boys who were his companions, ingested demonic stones, and became a monster.

- How come it's just me...

I couldn't sleep because I became a zombie, just wandering around town every day.

Even though I was able to reunite with my people because of this, I honestly couldn't be happy.

Because I'm a monster and a killer.

How can such a self be with everyone?

- If you feel this painful, I should have died then.

Restricted in the Shadows, they can't die, only negative emotions recruit them.

For a long time, I learned the skills to grasp the situation outside from within the Shadows and to be able to move into the shadows of others, within the confines of the Shadows, but it didn't matter.

It's decided that even if I go out there, it won't help me much.

Maybe I should just stay in the 'shadows' the whole time.

Because there's Nishino out there.

With him, I don't need myself.

It's all set to work.

Yes, I thought - until then.

- Compare yourself to Kudo, and stop being humiliated.

That night, through the shadows, he learned of Nishino's weakness.

Nishino was the same person as Ono.

(What have I been looking at...)

I've always admired it. So I didn't see it.

I wasn't the only one who had a hard time.

Everyone was suffering, bitter and desperate.

Oh, how silly.

Driven by ugly jealousy, I was left with a sense of inferiority that I couldn't help.

I realized I was just justifying myself with that excuse.

I wish I just accepted the existence of myself.

(Guys...... sorry)

That's why Ono got up.

I am a monster. A murderer.

But still - I want to protect it.

I don't want you to die.

I don't want you to give up.

Because even now Nishino is a hero to me.

So...

"Don't give up... Nishino-san"

With finally squeezing courage, Ono stepped down to the battlefield.

Just a little, stick your foot forward.

A crack runs on the ground around Ono, as he struck a giant hammer.

It sounded like a broken bone.

A crack runs on his arm and blood erupts.

Constant severe pain struck Ono's entire body.

"Ugh... Guh..."

"Ono... you, why...?

I heard voices from behind.

Ono doesn't look back,

"It's okay..."

Ono laughs with a face that seems to cry even now.

"I'm already... okay"

Ono doesn't hesitate anymore.

In this appearance, and with 'power', I will definitely protect and show everyone.

Whether you're a monster or a murderer, carry that sin and still move on.

"-" Jealousy "!

"Goa......?

At that moment, the Guardian Golem, which was relative to him - Tyran was attacked by a strange feeling.

I'm supposed to be trying to crush you, but I can't get in at all.

On the contrary, my body doesn't move either, as if it's rusted.

What the hell is this all about?

"Nooooooooooo!

"Goaaaaa!?"

Tyran's arm is shaken up.

If you can't believe it, Tyran speaks up.

Stupid - you mean you lost your strength?

To such a little human being?

"I can't give you the strength you've always had..."

Breathing with his shoulders, Ono stares at Tyran.

Skill 'Jealousy'.

The effect is a 'negative correction' to the target's race, profession and skills.

The stronger Ono's jealousy of the subject, the greater its effect.

Currently, the correction value multiplied by Tyran is' minus 4 '.

Not a big deal as a number, but for Tyran, who was only a few days old, he became a tremendous shackle.

Almost all of my skills have gone to LV1, and my status has gone back to its initial state.

"Nishino-kun! Now I weaken him with my skills... Ho ho... Quick... give me instructions!

"Huh!"

Nishino gets hacked and looks around.

We got everyone's position and gave them immediate instructions.

"Rokka, attack around Goshokawahara! Other members turn to support!

The action was swift.

Everyone is instructed by Nishino to launch an attack on the Golem.

Nevertheless, the opponent is Golem.

Giants made of rocks and earth, even if weakened, were tough.

"Goaaaaaaaaa!"

Don't lick it, you humans! All I'm saying is, the golem screams.

The arm that swung at our Wushu Luo blew up Rokka and Goshokawahara, injuring members around him in the aftermath as well.

Powerful moves that make use of the Golem's giant body. Simple, but that is also the most powerful means of attack for the Golem.

"Yikes!

"Gu...... gu!

Oddly enough, that was the same situation we had earlier at the time of the Toyota Eating Rai.

- Lack of decision-makers.

Nishino and the others are decidedly short of firepower to finish off this golem.

(At least if the status of the six flowers is a little higher......)

Nishino bites his teeth.

It's poor as it is.

Because of this, Ono rushed down to us and weakened the golem.

But luck didn't abandon them.

At the next moment, a voice echoed in Nishino's head.

"You've earned experience."

"EXP reached a certain level."

Nishino Kyoya's LV has gone up from 15 to 16.

"EXP reached a certain level."

"Nishino Kyoya's LV has gone from 16 to 17."

"EXP reached a certain level."

Nishino Kyoya's LV has gone up from 17 to 18.

"EXP reached a certain level."

Nishino Kyoya's LV has gone up from 18 to 19.

"EXP reached a certain level."

Nishino Kyoya's LV has gone up from 19 to 20.

Announcement announcing a massive level increase.

Nishino and the others immediately understood what it meant.

"What is this..."

"Oh, definitely! It's Mr. Kudo!

If you were to get so much experience, that would put Peony aside and nothing else.

I mean, Kazuto won.

I beat that peony against him.

The fact raised their morale all at once.

But this wasn't the end of Nishino et al's "Luck".

"Nissy! Me, now I'm at level 30!

How dare you reach the upper limit of the Rokflower level.

Nishino immediately understands what that means.

"Where does it evolve to!?"

"Superior (High Human), Ghost (Onibito), Barbarian (Amazones), Cat (Cat Pi-pull), Newbie (Arabito)!

For a moment only, Nishino thinks.

information on the evolutionary destination we heard from Kazt, and to reverse this situation,

"Six Flowers! Pick a Ghost (Onibito)!

"Copy that!"

What's missing is firepower.

Immediately, Rokkawa selects Ghost (Onibito) from the status screen.

At that moment, a red mist engulfed the body of the six flowers.

"Goa!"

Look at that. Tyran moves instantly.

Instinct must have made me realize I was a mess.

But it was too late for a weakened status.

For just a few seconds, the red mist clears, from which the evolved six flowers emerge.

Its skin is dyed red copper with black curses like hills engraved on its cheeks, arms and thighs.

And on its forehead appeared the horns of light.

"Wow... the power is overflowing...!

Nishino's choice was right.

The time taken to 'evolve' depends on the race chosen.

Kazuto and Ichinose's chosen rookie (Arabito) are an hour-long race to 'evolve', but Roppo's chosen ghost (Onibito) was a race that could end evolution in just seconds, just like Aka and Momo.

"Yikes!"

Rokka kicked the ground and stepped forward.

That acceleration is not an earlier ratio.

Instantly flesh to Tyran.

"Goa...!?"

That speed was unresponsive with the weakened Tyran.

The violin in the hand of the six flowers glows red.

The original skill of a ghost man, Blood Costume.

Skills that explosively increase physical abilities and the performance of weapons they possess, only in a state of 'ghosting'. Furthermore, the effect is synergized with the 'fanaticism' that Rokkawa originally had.

Rokka didn't check her skills or status.

It's just "usable," my instincts understood.

"Noooooooooooo!

Zugang! and Rokka waves a swing in her hand.

The blow smashed a light, tough rock and split Tyran's body in two.

"Goa... aaa..."

Late, Tyran's body starts to collapse.

With this blow, the nukes were destroyed.

Tyran didn't have the skills to create a minute body like Titan did.

He appeared on this battlefield, with his body intact.

Tyran decided that it was still enough.

If, under the same circumstances, Titan, the parent, would have decided that would not be enough.

Thoroughly throw from a distance and never show up in front of them.

He had just been born but therefore did not have enough knowledge and experience for Tyran.

That divided his light and darkness.

"... ahhh..."

In a completely collapsed rocky mountain, the demonic stone of the great fist was left behind.

Announcement announcing experience gained.

"Ugh! I won!

"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa!

When Rokka thrusts her fist up on Rock Mountain, she is caught by it and everyone raises the roar of victory.

And the clock needle carves zero hours.

At that moment, something invisible spread around the militia base.

A new Safe Zone has been set up.

"I won... our victory!

The operation was a success.

Dead - zero.

It was a complete triumph of miracles.

Meanwhile, around that time,

I was staring at the Soytes who showed up in front of me.

"You...... why are you here?

Shit, this sucks.

At this worst time, I didn't expect him to even show up.

- Dark Wolf.

The worst monster that once drove us to the abyss of death.

"... Wong"

Dirk Wolf stared at me looking bored, turning around and looking at the intelligence zombie in front of him.

That's like saying you're not willing to fight us.

The intelligence zombie in front of him stares abominably at Dark Wolf.

Exhale softly,

"Oh man. I'm not going to fight you."

"- Wong."

Dark Wolf barks small.

At that moment, darkness overflowed from Dark Wolf's feet.

It covers up in front of you like a turbulent stream and swallows quickly.

Its power was even greater than before.

The rubble, the earth, everything swallowed up and the city stained in black.

"Chip... can you even listen to me... this is why the owner of 'The Six Kings'...!

Intelligence zombies tongue hatefully.

He escaped the darkness of Dark Wolf and was on the roof of a building a little further away.

"Do you understand," Wolf King "! We don't have much time left! Neither the Great Sin nor the Six Kings! If you don't keep it with me, sooner or later -"

His words didn't last until the end.

Before that, Dark Wolf's darkness swallowed him every building.

The running of too overwhelming a force.

I even forgot to blink and I saw the sight.

"... damn, still bad minutes..."

Now, behind us - pretty far away, there was an intelligence zombie.

You couldn't avoid the attack, one arm had vanished and your body was worn out.

"... okay, surrender. I won't interfere with you or him there in the future...... would that be all right?

So he, uh, looked in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"... Did Tyran get hit too? You're pathetic because you had a self..."

Intelligence zombies just lay their eyes down for a moment, and look at me.

"... I'll just advise you one thing"

"Ah...?

"You took down Peony... that god tree. They must have caught their eye... at best be careful."

……

Them...?

What? What's this guy talking about?

"Hey, what do you mean? I'm going to go over the whole story.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

- Dark Wolf's darkness swallowed him before he tried to ask.

Hey, wait a minute! There's still something I want to ask you!

But it was too late.

The turbulence of darkness swallowed everything, and there was nothing left there.

There are no signs of intelligence zombies anywhere.

Probably not dead. Just like earlier, I guess I used some skill to get away from this place.

Kuru Dark Wolf turns this way.

"You..."

Dark Wolf slowly approaches us.

I don't feel like killing.

I don't intend to fight...... but -,

"Wow!

Momo stood in front of Dark Wolf.

Then Dirk Wolfe stared at the figure, her nose softly close, and smelled the momomo.

"Ruru..."

Momo squeaks his throat in a grumpy manner.

For some reason I lose and smell Dark Wolf.

What is this? What am I being shown?

"... Wong"

And when I raised my voice somewhere satisfied, I turned myself over and vanished into the 'darkness'.

"... what was that?

The silence comes.

Be vigilant around you, but there are no more signs of new monsters appearing.

It's over. This time, really.

"Huh..."

With a big sigh, I sat down on the spot.

Tired.

I'm really tired.

My arm hurts too. We need to treat it quickly.

But there's something I need to check before I do.

"-" Shadow Cage ""

Spread the shadow.

Sora, who was forced to lock herself inside, shows up.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr......"

He looked so dissatisfied, he stared at me.

"You, Yokumo, I'm in the shadow. Metecretana with closure..."

"I think it's bad. But, look."

Next to Sola, who emerged from the shadows, was a little dragon with a blue scale.

Sleeping sooo well, sleeping comfortably.

"... good for you. I can give birth safely."

"... hun"

Sora turned away and slapped me with her tail.

That didn't hurt at all and I could understand that it would be a manifestation of Sola's gratitude.

"You've worked it out..."

It's lame.

But it was worth the effort.

Fatigue pushed me all at once, and I fell to the ground in big letters.

"Uh... you're getting an email from Ichinose..."

Tons of unread emails. Just confirm the last one.

Apparently, things have worked out over there.

The clock is already twelve o'clock at noon. Resetting of the safety zone was also completed.

I have to get over there quickly.

"But just a little..."

Just a little bit more, okay?

A pleasant breeze strokes my cheeks.

Somehow, I tried to reach for a void with nothing.

It's not like I can grab anything.

But...

"... that's a good sky"

"Wow."

"Humph......"

The sky, which I looked up with Momo and Sola, was blue and clear everywhere.
