Akai’s Point of View___________________________“Sir Akai, they might be heading towards the Dark Market portal. It’s a portal without monsters residing inside of it any obstacles that could harm living beings. Should we eliminate them or force Vulcan to work with us?” Kei, my right hand and temporary secretary of the Crimson Guild branch in Tokyo, Japan, asked me.I killed thousands of people already, let alone children or elderly. And I did those crimes to save the greatest number of humanity, even if the world and the government would be against me. Plucking two strangers wouldn’t change a thing on this planet. It was a battle of the fittest, and everyone hailed me as the strongest adventurer on the planet. But despite these thoughts sinking inside my head, I let Vulcan and the boy free from my wrath. I was in a good mood. I would receive wonderful news about what would happen in the future. And if I would enter that guild, which was a kilometre away from me, I would learn someth

As soon as the sun came out - or for my situation, the timer - I immediately got out of my bed, bought some processed food for Vulcan just if he woke up, and rushed outside the portal. I planned on using my sniper and train for today. But before I could do that, I needed to visit Hina. I told her that I’d return in a couple of days or a week. And now that the week kinda arrived, I had nothing else better to do but to tell her I would leave the hospital room for a few more days to train my sniper. If she found out how cool my rifle was, Hina would freak out! She was the only person who knew about my identity and my weapon. So I gotta let her see this. When I exited the portal, I zoomed straight at the streets and finally arrived in front of the hospital. But before I could enter the structure, I stopped by at a convience store and purchase something I knew I would use later. It was Hina's favourite, after all. And when I entered the building, I climbed the stairs, slid the door from Hi

Aoi’s Point of View__________________________When I entered the portal, a sky-scraping wall was the first one that welcomed my eyes. It reached for over a couple of meters, which was even bigger than twelve trucks falling in line. No. The barricade stretched more than those automobiles. And it would be an insult if I compared the panel from automobiles found in our reality.I thought that Doctor Maruki was behind this madness. He created this haven portal, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he could summon a wall out of nothing. It wasn’t unusual to see adventurers having two or more abilities that they could handle. But even so, my thoughts proved me wrong.When I glanced at my sister, Hina had magic circles glowing and twirling on her hand. It didn’t come from the portal or anyone who planned on attacking her. It came to Hina’s hand herself as she summoned those walls.Now that I had remembered it, Hina could materialise walls out of nothing. She told me all about it before. And Hina

“You might not notice, but you’ve snuck around with me since day one!” I said, and brought a chair for the two of us to sit in. Hina complied and sat beside the empty chair as I continued my sentences. “It doesn’t look like it, but you’re the only one who pushes me forward. Do you remember how I fought the Wyvern from the hybrid portal?”Hina shook her head. “No…”“I wanted to save those people not because of charity. It’s all because of you. When I came face to face with the Wyvern, I knew I was about to lose. But I didn’t. I didn’t let the Wyvern win. If I die from the monster, who would cook you a decent meal? You can’t even cook rice, Hina.”“HEY!” Hina cried, but I carried on.“I mean, I wanted to save them and all. But that’s not my point. My point is that you’re my moral compass. I don’t want to give you a world where portals exist. And a lot of people died because of me, which is why I understand what you’re feeling right now. If there’s anyone who could understand your feeli

When the bullet ran into the dummy, it didn’t explode. Instead, the shot pierced through the figure and created a hole right off its body. The hole continued onward until my bullet found a formidable surface that could stop the bullet’s momentum. I didn’t know how or when that would happen, but it wasn’t my concern. All I knew and learned from this attempt was that physical bullets had the ability to pierce through anything as long as I had higher levels and my bullets were stronger than the ones it could hit.But I couldn’t determine how high level I should be so my bullets would pierce through my enemies. Although I got what it meant, sometimes, the levels weren’t enough to gauge the bullet’s power and the monster. However, that didn’t matter for now. This ability wasn’t reliable. Even so, if I compared the magical bullet to the physical one, the physical shell dealt the most damage. It may not have the splash damage from the arcanic shots, the physical shell penetrated the physical
