When the cloud of smoke vanished before our eyes, the Pests Oculus targeted were brought down and turned them into dust. The arsenals of the machine had eliminated every enemy in sight, including the ones that hid behind my peripheral vision. My eyes could hardly accept what happened, especially when I had conditioned myself that Oculus was just a portable machine that I used for transportation. But now, things had changed for the better. If I was in a pinch, my device would save the day and hit those enemies that I lost sight of.As soon as Oculus cleaned up the mess, the machine eventually went in front of me and confirmed the kill-count of those Pests. After the device finished its announcement, Vulcan and I proceeded to the next weapon the old man upgraded, which was the sniper. There was nothing we could do with Oculus, and I was sure that my device would be a force to be reckoned with. But before introducing me to the upgraded sniper, Vulcan threw a dagger at Oculus and hit it.

???? Perspective ____________________ Something was not right. Everything was going exactly as I had experienced, except for the fact that Hina was supporting him… was supporting me. As I watched those two from afar, I immediately knew that this world had changed the course of time. My double did something that I wouldn’t have done. Hina didn’t have this overwhelming ability. The last time I saw her wield any ability was creating a stump that could disrupt someone’s balance. And that was about it. Instead, Hina, in this world, created walls that could block any incoming projectiles and abilities that could harm her or the people she wished to protect. And from what I had remembered, I took another path and left her behind to protect her And then after a few days, the inevitable happened. I sipped my tea from an abandoned building and watched the news from the worn out television I fixed a couple of weeks ago. I had no time idling around to watch the trends for this world, but thi

Another adventurer admitted that the portal killed his friends. And when the White Fang - my adventurer name - showed up, the deaths lessened. The woman claimed that her family would’ve died if it weren’t for my intervention. And she was thankful for my efforts.Some audiences claimed that was the source of the portal and the unusual killings surrounding the twisted dimension. But according to the veteran adventurers, a handful of them strongly disagreed with the claim and sided with me. However, the majority won. But there were still others who believed in the injustice done to me.Eventually, everyone present inside the portal gave their word that they will protect my sister, Vulcan, and me. It seemed that everyone sided with me instead of the government, the Crimson Guild, and the people claimed that I was the killer. I didn’t know what would happen if this situation didn’t occur. Maybe a blood bath might have taken place, considering the number of people present in this portal and

Back to Aoi’s Perspective________________________Despite the name of the Crimson Guild and the government, they barely knew the entrance of the dark market. Even the internet had no idea where to find this place, not unless some weird and unnoticed man would be checked and posted something ridiculous like the instructions I read when I first got here. Thankfully, the man who had posted the instructions leading to this place had his comment deleted by the admin, labelling it as a fraud and fake And since the man had already said his word about concealing my existence, theoretically, I didn’t have to worry about anything. Additionally, I had more eyes than one, considering that the people inside the dark market were willing to help meVulcan was the one who instructed these people to gather some intel from the outside and narrate everything here. While that happened, my goal was to arrive at the hospital and converse with Doctor Maruki about Hina’s parents. But according to Hina, Doc

Akai’s Perspective_____________“Just taking my car out for a ride. There’s… nobody inside my car. I have a sick patient to attend to at the end of that street. Now, if you’d excuse me, I should do my job. My patient would suffer the most if I left them untreated,” the doctor uttered.The Doctor was completely lying. I could tell from afar, especially from the salty river of sweat pouring down on his face. My eyes glued themselves at the doctor's figure, glaring at him as if he was a criminal. And he was. That man helped Aoi, a boy labelled as a criminal by my own commands. And then, I cracked my knuckles and let out a smirk."I'm not buying that, Doctor Maruki. Where's the kid? Aoi. The White Fang who killed people outside the portals? Or should I say he's the one creating portals? That's what the people have believed in. I need the Amamiya family to lure him to me. You have such a wonderful life, Doctor Maruki. AndI can even make it better if you just comply."I had cornered Docto
