Shiro opened his eyes the moment he returned to his truck.
"Time control?"
He looked the truck's digital clock and saw that not even a single minute had passed. With his limited power, he could tell that everything is basically the same—as if he didn’t really go to the chat group’s lounge.
"There are now two panels..."
When he saw the two panels side by side, he compared the two of them. The one that he has right after he woke up possesses the power to level up, gain masteries from others, issue quests, and show an accurate data of the host. There should be more functions after those, but he hadn't encountered them yet.
As for the Chat Group's panel, it consisted of daily rewards (points), point store, free lounge entry (2 hours), missions, and public/private chats. The time flows between their world differs, however, which results in them seeing the conversation too fast or the reply being too slow.
There's also the function of this panel being attached to another device and vice versa (Attached/Panel Mode).
‘There should be more functions that are still locked.’ He thought.
Ding-!
Suddenly, he was interrupted by the sound of a notification.
Queen of Nightmare: “I found it! I found which anime the others belong to!”
Queen of Nightmare sent a file: [Heaven’s Feel]
Queen of Nightmare sent a file: [Muv-Luv Alternative]
Queen of Nightmare sent a file: [Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!]
Queen of Nightmare sent ten attached files: [Fate/Grand Order]
Shiro was about to reply when he noticed something on his [Profile] tab. Clicking the icon on the upper right of the panel, he saw many options. One of them is the option to change his nickname to his real name.
‘My nickname’s way too long…’
[Change your displayed name to your real name?]
[Confirm]
Clicking the confirm button, he began chatting.
Shiro: “Thanks for your hard work.”
Queen of Nightmare: “It's nothing, just some few searches on the web.”
Queen of Nightmare: “Anyways, how did you change your name?”
Queen of Nightmare: “Wait, never mind. It’s in the [Profile] tab.”
Thanks to the files sent by Kuroneko, everyone got the chance to know of the other’s identities.
It only took more than four hours of ‘watching’ for Shiro to watch everything.
The first anime is related to Shinji. There, Shinji has the role of an antagonist. However, his background is much darker than Shiro had expected. He grew up from a twisted environment that was caused by his grandfather, Makiri Zouken.
Due to it, he had done many unspeakable things—just to appease his twisted ego.
It didn’t help that he couldn’t activate his magic circuits as well as the circumstances surrounding his adopted sister, Sakura Matou. In the end, he violated her for three consecutive years due to the aphrodisiac-like effect of Zouken’s experimentations on her.
This is the boiling point for his unsalvageable character.
‘It’s… unexpected. If Shinji-kun will grow up in such an environment, it’s not that surprising that he will end up like that.’ Shiro thought. ‘Though, he can still be saved provided he gets the proper guidance.’
Meanwhile, Kouzuki Yuuko’s background came from Muv-Luv Alternative, a Visual Novel. It is all about the protagonist whose mission is to prevent the completion of Alternative Plan V, the abandonment of every other humans, with only 100,000 of them surviving in the end.
Their enemies are the aliens they dubbed as BETA, which is in short for “Beings of Extraterrestrial which is Adversary to the human race”.
To accomplish his goal, they must complete the Alternative Plan IV—the plan to communicate with BETAs and aim for peace.
That way, there wouldn’t be an extremely large sacrifice for the continued survival of the human race.
Here, Kouzuki Yuuko is the vice-commander of the Yokohama UN base. She is the main proponent of the Alternative Plan IV as well, so her efforts are required in order to accomplish the main character’s mission.
Lastly is Takanashi Touka's anime. It is an interesting slice of life that shows the life of her delusional (i.e., chuunibyou) sister named Takanashi Rikka. Their world is not of supernatural origin, hence it is relatively peaceful.
Unfortunately, Shiro’s and Kal’tsit’s stories are not available in any of the member’s worlds.
Reliable Sister: “That's my sister and... Yuuta-kun?”
Carefree Doctor: “It must be hard taking care of your sister.”
Shiro: “+1”
Queen of Nightmare: “…”
Queen of Nightmare: “+1”
Greatest Genius Sensei: “+1”
Expressionless Doctor: “I agree.”
'What about Shinji-kun?'
*****
“I… I will become like this in the future?”
After skimming through Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel, Shinji found out what kind of person he will be in the future.
Pathethic, abominable, twisted...
Even before he died, he never gained the so-called acknowledgement that he always sought. Instead, all he got is a "Trash" from his grandfather. As for his father, he escaped the Matou household when he found out the truth of the Matou Family's worm cave.
‘I… I…’
Abominable.
During those years, he had never seen his adopted sister as a proper human being.
Twisted.
The most self-explanatory one. His ego was twisted to the point that he’ll ignore everyone’s feelings for his sake.
As a pure child who only has a fake air of arrogance to hide his insecurities, he didn't want all of this to happen. He doesn’t want to be a pathetic and abominable human being, ever!
'I… Haha…’ Shinji tightened his hand into a fist as his expression became twisted. ‘If things are going to be like this, it’s better for me to die! That way, I wouldn’t cause pain to others…’
Shinji felt depressed. Unlike before, he couldn't even have that usual mindset of "As long as I do my best, they'll definitely acknowledge me!"
He’s even leaning more towards him disappearing so that those events in the future wouldn’t happen. After all, the last thing that he wants is to turn into a monster, just like his grandfather.
Ding-!
[Private] Shiro:” Are you alright?”
"Shiro-aniki..?"
[Private] Shiro: “It's too much for a kid to know his shitty future, isn’t it?”
[Private] Future Bastard: “I now know the reason behind my nickname.”
[Private] Shiro: “...”
[Private] Shiro: “I won't tell you not to care about it, but do remember that your predestined future can be changed.”
'I can change my future?' He thought.
Recalling that he’s now a member of a seemingly powerful network called ‘Chat Group’, a spark of hope was reignited within him. It is still small, yet no one knows if it could make massive waves in the future…
[Private] Future Bastard: “How can I change my future?”
[Private] Shiro: “There are many ways, but I suggest that you try our power systems first. Then, we'll see what to do after you test your aptitude.”
[Private] Future Bastard: “Alright. Thank you, Shiro-aniki.”
At this moment, Shinji thought of the two techniques that Shiro had passed onto him hours ago. One of them is a physical exercise that required him to move into a stance while the other one requires him to concentrate well and meditate.
“I should begin with the meditation first.”
*****
Shiro tapped the steering wheel as he stopped 10km away from Colombia's borders. This is also the place that Kal'tsit mentioned to him when they agreed on meeting in Terra.
When he first saw the Originum Arts on the [Points Store], he knew that they were in the same world. Thus, he talked with her personally after the group discussions were over.
[Private] Expressionless Doctor: “I'll arrive in two days.”
[Private] Shiro: “Copy that.”
'She's studying something called "The Great Silence" that is involved in the Aegir civilization underwater, huh.’ Shiro thought. ‘Wait, the sea?'
He recalled the two strange feelings that he sensed before which originated from Skadi and Andreana. Each of them has the aura of the sea as well as something incomprehensible in his senses, making him more interested in it.
'They must be related to that event.’
[Ding! You earned 99 points.]
It was only at this time that Shiro did redeem his daily points.
In this function, one could check-in daily before receiving points ranging from 1~100. Thanks to his extremely high luck stat, he got the second highest possible points at first shot!
He then scrolled through the point store. At this point, only stuff related to the group members are here. There's an [Increase Magic Circuit], [Tyrant's Eye (Real)], [XF-2000a Typhon], [Application of Life and Death], and so on.
When he scrolled further, there's some stuff that made his heart beat more quickly. There are True Magic in it! Just by having one, they could contend against Type-Level beings such as the Ultimate One of Mercury, Ultimate One of Venus, and so on.
Though, the points that it require is heaven-defying.
'I'll try acquiring it first before acquiring it through the group chat.'
His sight then moved onto the shiny golden button on the top right of the [Points Store].
[Random Spins]
‘Nope, let’s not gamble. No, no…’
He swore that he would never rely much on the shining "Random Spin" prompt above the points store, never!
Shiro opened his eyes the moment he returned to his truck.
"Time control?"
