A Cliché Multiverse Story Chapter 24

"Sugoi!"
Icy water enveloped my lower body, I placed my hands on the sides of the tub and stared at the ceiling before closing my eyes.
The meeting with others ended in separating the students from our group.
"Today sure was messy as hell. Those fuckers…"
Even now, no guilt came.
The guilt for contributing to taking a life.
Where was the scene of the protagonist puking their guts out? Why was I this calm after taking a life?
Did killing undead all day numbed my senses?
"Fuck this all!"
(... Please don't be sad… maybe your emotional strength is above others.)
'I am not being emo or anything. But I think I never saw them as humans after seeing the way they beat up the woman.'
I even gave women a headstart for survival, where they could awaken their magic faster because of their mana pool nearly as twice as men's. However, some things couldn't be changed no matter what.
I sealed my line of thoughts and opened the Partners menu.

The fuck?! Infinity affection points… I feel my love for her was not even half of hers. Before that. Also those infinity points remind me of a certain black-haired loli dragon.
'Why are you a high human?'
(I can modify my race at will. So it would be an honor for a wife to choose the same race as her husband. That's what I read in some manga.)
'You read manga?'
(I stalked you for years be— it's nothing.)

That was some important information she omitted before!
I must sharpen my stalking skills before another stalker popped into my life.

I wasn't surprised, was I?

I took a deep breath, mustered my courage, and tapped the reveal backstory button.
Aimi Akane: A girl born in a middle-class family, living a normal life until one day, when her parents' car crashed into a truck and passed away. She got over it and started staying with her relatives. One year later, when she entered 3rd year of high school, her relatives kicked her out. Wandering on the streets, her will to live kept slipping. As she was about to run into a car, a young boy stopped her and gave her a cheque of 1 Million Yen. The kindness touched her heart and she found a reason to live on. The boy's kind smile became her sole reason to live—

Hold up! I met Aimi before she became my bodyguard? What kind of third-rate anime plot is this?
Wrecking my genius brain, I remembered meeting a poor girl when I sneaked out of my home. Her ragged clothes made me pity her, so I gave her my pocket money.
She was Aimi, I guess. It wasn't for any perverted stuff, back then, I was only 9 or so. It would be odd to develop lust toward the opposite sex.
Continuing the story.
The boy's kind smile became her sole reason to live and her obsession. 'How wonderful it would be to see his smile every day.' She dreamed about it and began searching for the boy. Only to get her hopes crushed by his identity. But her obsession took the better of her as she began to arm herself with every skill and gained the approval to become the boy's bodyguard. Now closer her obsession evolved and her insecurities rose. She started to stalk her master and then she came across a notebook. What she found in that book surprised her. After a long period of contemplation, she decided to fulfill her master's wish to die. Hoping to accompany him in the afterlife, she stabbed herself in the heart.
Fin~
Was that my sealed past?! Shit, she saw my diary from sixth-grade. How embarrassing...
After reading the rather expected diary of my yandere bodyguard, I continued the partners list.

It was then I noticed two scarlet eyes stalking me from the door. Those eyes only belonged to one person here.
"Come here!"
Now is the time to taste this beauty!

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

Gamer
This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.
