《The Anime Trope System : Stone vs. the Viper, a LitRPG. [WEB NOVEL SUSPENDED.]》Episode 6 (Part 4)
Advertisement
Clyde wanted to punch the system but bit off his temper. Toru was true to his word, as a boxed cake wrapped in a protective bag awaited them, along with a receipt. He thanked the stars that Toru went for a normal birthday cake and not something fancy—otherwise, Alice would probably expect the max quality every time. Quality that only rich people could afford. Ignoring his ancient instincts, he allowed the demoness inside his apartment.
And they had cake. A good cake. He offered the demoness as much as possible, but she insisted that it must be shared, as she was but a guest in a fine home.
“I need to use your bath,” Alice said after they finished eating. “My shift isn’t over, so I can’t go home.”
“Help yourself.” Clyde said, “just don’t eat my soap.”
He gave her a smirk. She chuckled.
“I’ll try not to.”
He let out a breath as she closed the door. He…had a fucking demon in his apartment. Sure, she was incredibly beautiful, but that didn’t mean jack shit in a life or death situation like this. She wiped Clyde’s party with little effort—and now…Clyde couldn’t hate nor dislike her. The woman just wanted sweets. She made no threatening moves except when Kitome decided to be an idiot. What was she thinking? He’d make sure Toru teach her how to read the situation before charging into battle. He was no battle expert, but at least he knew that much.
Alice reappeared nearly twenty minutes later with a refreshed look on her face. She was dressed in her same clothes, but somehow, they looked brand new. He passed it off as magic and thought nothing more.
The demoness pulled out a bracelet from her pocket.
“Here, as thanks for the cake. I’ll grant you a single favor. Just channel some magic into it.”

Clyde accepted the bracelet and gave her his thanks.
[You have received Summoning Bracelet of Alice, demon lord’s eye. Item class: Epic. You may use this bracelet to summon Alice once. A favor from her is worth more than gold.]
Clyde did his best to hold down his excitement.
“Thank you for this,” he said. She nodded.
“Well, it’s a shame you didn’t join me in the bath, but I’ve got to go. We shall have cake again sometime. Oh more thing, I need to activate that bracelet.”
She caught Clyde off guard by kissing him. A tinge of power shot through his body. Before he could ask, the demoness vanished.
Seconds later, there was a knock on his door. He answered, a little surprised to see Harumi.
“Are…you okay?” she said. “She didn’t do anything weird to you.”
“I’m fine,” Clyde said then smiled. “She really just wanted cake. After we ate, she left. I won’t lie, I was nervous as shit, serving food to a demon. But she’s kind of sweet.”
Harumi nodded, relief on her face.
“We have got to coordinate some fights together, especially with Kitome.”
They both laughed. “Let’s discuss this tomorrow, maybe after classes. I’m dead tired. Just going to let the shower take me.”
He waved the anime girl off then closed the door. Before heading to bed, he texted Chika.
The next morning, he felt something soft next to him. Smooth skin. He opened his eyes and turned to his right, to see a fully naked demoness snuggled against him. His anime trope senses rang. Alice’s eyes opened, and she gave Clyde a sly smile.
“My apartment was too far,” she said, “so I crashed here.”
What could he say? What the fuck are you doing in my house? How well would that go with a boss enemy?

“Anyway, I need morning sex and you are the only one very compatible with me. Up-up-up. Haven’t had any in years.”
His alarm rang, but the demoness looked as if she had zero fucks to give.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
