Chapter 22: ...Vil?
“Hey, Aleris, does your world have magic handcuffs or something?”
“Yeah? I have a few with me.”
...Let’s not ask why she has handcuffs with her all the time…
“Lend me them for a bit.”
Since I really don’t know what to do with these troublesome kids, I’ll just pass them to Trask and have him deal with this problem.
Yep, when in doubt, push the problem to another person.
Whatever happens next is not my fault!
After taking the strange-looking handcuffs from Aleris, I [Blinked] behind the riajuu then the loner.
Instantly, they’re restricted.
“W-wha-!? What is the meaning of this!?”
“You bastard! This cannot hold me!”
The two then began to spout some third-rate villain lines as they tried to use their magics to destroy the handcuffs.
As expected from another world’s handcuffs, it is able to deal with these kinds of problems.
“You're both under arrest for attempted murder. You have the right to remain silent, Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you still wish to speak to me?”
Heh, I’ve always wanted to say that.
“Ah, but this is only applicable in [Earth]. If you wish, we can settle things here in [Sennerth]. Aleris?”
“Hm? Oh. Attempted murder is punished with a 10-year sentence in the [Abyss] regardless of the age.”
Hearing that, the color in the two’s faces were drained and a cold sweat trickled down their forehead.
“Now then, [Sennerth] or [Earth]? Where do you want to go?”
““[Earth]!!!””
That settles it then!
They’re still kids so it’s pretty easy to scare them.
“Does any of you have any belongings left in the castle?”
“Yes...”
Upon my question, some students answered weakly.
I nodded and directed everyone to go up with the earth stairs I made.
I led in front with the two criminals behind me while Aleris went to the back to chat with the girls.
“You two are really a handful. So you got powers now, and you use them for what? One uses it for revenge, the other for domination. And you’re supposed to be [Heroes].”
“Shut up! If you hadn’t shown up, I could’ve killed this trash!”
“Hah? Kill me? Don’t delude yourself, you pathetic loner! I have plenty of aces up my sleeve!”
“Heh, I bet those aces of yours are the other’s sacrifices.”
“Hmph! It is their fortune to be sacrificed by me! They should be lucky to have had sex with me before they died!”
The two started bickering at each other.
At first, I didn’t mind it and considered it as children ranting at each other. Completely harmless and useless.
However, this riajuu started speaking something that really pisses me off!
Just as I was about to slap the bastard and scold him, cries were heard from behind.
“You bastard! You forced us to sleep with you!”
“Yeah! You said that if we want to live, we have to sleep with you!”
“You even passed us to the other guys once you were done!”
“Who wanted to do it with you!? You’re not even a man! You can only last for a minute and you're dick’s too small to feel anything!”
“That’s right! What was more insulting was the other guys who gang raped us!”

Hearing these cries, I stopped and turned around.
“Aleris, the punishment for rape.”
“Death!”
*Woosh*
I created a wind blade and instantly severed the riajuu’s head.
“W-wha-!?”
“You, point every man who participated with the raping.”
The girl I pointed blanked out for a second before a fierce light lit up in her eyes as beads of tears started to appear at the corner of her eyes.
“Him! Him! Him! Him!”
“W-wait just a-!”
“W-we were also for-!”
“N-no!!!”
“P-p-plea-!”
Without a word, all four of them were beheaded and thrown out the stairs.
The other students paled, but they didn’t show sadness at their classmate’s deaths. Rather, they breathed a sigh of relief as they saw the five of them die.
These guys will retain their powers back in [Earth]. It’s natural that they would be afraid of their retaliation when they got back.
Some of them had powers that none of the police in [Earth] could handle.
Even if they killed someone in [Earth], it will also be hard to pinpoint them as the culprits.
That’s why they were rather worried if they went back to [Earth] just like that. But now, they were relieved.
Those four were truly scum. There was no telling how much destruction they’ll create if they go back just like that.
Finished dealing with the scum of the earth, I turned towards the loner who went pale upon being looked at.
“You’re lucky you haven’t killed anyone yet. Else, you’re also dead now.”
“Y-yes...”
I was about to turn back and continue walking forward when a weak voice reached my ears.
“U-umm...couldn’t you have settled this less violently? They didn’t deserve to die right?”
“Hm?”
Turning around, the woman who spoke was someone who's older than the other students. This must be the teacher.
“We’re still in [Sennerth]. And in this world, rapist deserve death. Did he also do you?”
“No, but-”
“Then you don’t understand the pain of the girls who were forced to do it. You’re also a girl. You should know how important one’s first time is. Even if some of the girls already had their first time before this, it doesn’t change the fact that they weren’t willing to sleep with him, yet didn’t have the choice to do so. Aren’t you their teacher? It was supposed to be your job to ensure the safety of your students.”
Upon being scolded by me, the teacher went silent and lowered her head, no longer arguing.
I sighed and continued walking up the stairs.
Behind me, I can still hear the whispers of the students.
“Sigh, miss Yuuki, don’t be disheartened. It’s not your fault those bastards were like that. They really deserved to die!”
“Yeah, miss Yuuki, no need to pity them. They were really hateful to begin with.”
“Even back in [Earth], those guys had been bullying people and I heard that Ren even forced the nurse in the clinic to sleep with him. Apparently, it was blackmailing.”
“Right. If you didn’t have a powerful protective skill, you would’ve also not be spared by that pervert scum.”
“He also kept making moves on the princess. Even if Mr. Knight spared them, I’m sure the King would kill them just as well and I doubt Mr. Knight will defend them at that time.”
“That loner, Katsuragi-san, is actually better. I noticed earlier that he had plenty of chances to kill us but he chose to keep pressuring Ren instead. Even if Mr. Knight didn’t show up, Ren would still be killed while we will be spared.”

“Miss Yuuki, just think of it as killing monsters. Don’t think too much about it now. There was nothing you can do.”
After being comforted by her students, the teacher also sighed and seemed to relax a bit.
I can feel that she also wanted them to be punished, but her job as a teacher makes it harder for her to face such feelings.
As a teacher, it isn’t proper to want your students dead after all.
But as it had already happened, she can only sigh and follow the flow of events.
After the summoning, she no longer had the power to keep everything in control.
I sighed again.
Today, I willingly killed someone again...yet it doesn’t feel wrong to me at all.
I...have really changed…
“Lucas, don’t think too much about it. They deserved to die, so they died.”
“Yeah...don’t worry El, I’m fine...”
“...Alright, later, just come back to the [World Home] and we’ll go watch a movie together. It’s fine to relax every now and then.”
“Okay.”
My heart felt lighter after talking with El.
It was times like these that I feel really fortunate to have El with me all the time. She keeps me grounded.
I don’t know what will happen to me if there was no El...maybe...I would’ve long turned into a monster.
In any case, she’s still stuck inside me so I doubt she’ll be in any danger.
“...What about this world?”
Suddenly, a cold voice appeared to my left.
“This world is still in trouble. Are we just going to leave it?”
Then, another voice appeared on my right which sounded similar to the first but had more emotion.
Looking at both sides, I saw two similar faces. The one on the left had a cold expressionless look with her hair flowing down freely to her waist.
On my right, the girl had more emotion on her face with her hair tied into a ponytail.
These two...are twins? But their personalities aren’t alike at all.
It’s like, fire and ice. But it doesn’t seem like they don’t get along. What a weird pair of twins…
But it’s strange... I feel like there’s some mysterious power to their voices...hmm...
“Well, it’s no longer your business. I’ll deal with it myself.”
“Alone?”
The ponytail girl said with a surprised tone.
“...Take us with you.”
The cold voice spoke and this time, I clearly felt the mysterious power of her voice...though, it didn’t seem to have any effects?
“Lucas, her voice contains a mystic power that is capable of touching another person’s soul. To put simply, it’s a lesser form of hypnotism.”
“Eh? Then was I hypnotized?”
“No, you also cultivate Spirit energy. Something like this wouldn't do anything to you at all. I just told you to warn you. Don’t let your guard down.”
“Oh, so that’s the case.”
I sighed in relief. Good thing El had me cultivate Spirit energy. Otherwise, I may not even know how I died.
Though I don’t think these two mean any harm, I can’t let them do what they want either. Especially something so dangerous.
“No.”
The two widened their eyes and seemed shocked.
Oh, at least the cold girl was capable of some emotion too.
“What? Shocked that your power didn’t work? Heh, something like hypnotism, it wouldn't work on me.”
I shook my head and continued walking.
After a while, the two caught up with me again.
This time, it was the ponytail girl who talked.
“Mister, bring us with you too!”
“Why?”
The two looked at each other, hesitating, then finally looked back to me.
“It was said that after defeating the demon lord, we can have one wish granted!”
I blinked for a while, then looked towards Aleris.
“Is that true?”
“Well, there was never a hero summoning in the histories so we don’t really know. But that legend had always existed.
Aleris gave a wry smile and explain.
I wonder if that’s really real?
But usually, in novels, that kind of explanation is the most generic and used plot to entice the hero to kill the demon lord. And most of the times, it’s just to trick the hero to work for free and wasn’t real at all.
But this situation is happening in real life...I wonder, is it real?
If it is...then…
“El, this might be our chance to free you!”
“H-huh? You...if this is real, then you could wish for a lot of things! You can wish to have a normal life again! To erase that [Dragon’s Wrath] corruption on you! Or end every prophecy about you!”
El shouted by I had already made up my mind.
If this is really real..then…
“What you said may be right. But still, you’re also just as important.”
“You...”
“You can’t convince me any further. I’ve already decided. El, just wait. Soon, you’ll be free.”
“...Fine...”
I smiled in my mind as I found a new goal.
As for these two...
“You two. Things will just get even more dangerous from now on. Just what wish do you want to go to such lengths?”
I know the wish is important to anyone, but it is still far too dangerous for any of them to go fight the demon lord.
The two looked at each other and nodded resolutely.
Looks like they already decided.
“...Even so, we must still go.”
“This is for our parents.”
...I see. The other will wish for the mother while the other, to the father. I guess their parents are in trouble. Maybe a terminal illness even.
“What is it? Maybe I can help.”
If some criminal is after them, I can give them protection. If it’s illness, then maybe I can heal them.
The two looked at each other again and hesitated.
Finally, the ponytail girl answered.
“Our mother is sick. To pay for her medical bills, father got into bad crowds to earn money. He hasn’t gotten home since last week and we’re worried something might happen to them.”
Hmm, I don’t know if I can heal the mother but I can definitely help the father.
“How about this. When I send you all back, we’ll go see your mother and see if I can cure her. Then I’ll search for your father to see if he’s okay.”
“Can you heal mother!?”
“I’ll try my best. If not, I can always just lend you money. Anyway, dealing with the demon lord is too dangerous for you guys.”
“...Alright.”
I nodded seeing them agree.
After a while, we left the dungeon and got back to the surface.
Vil jumped off my head and started playing around the trees, hopping about here and there.
Aleris and some of the girls cuddled with Vil quite a lot.
It didn’t take long for us to reach the edge of the forest again and saw the horse I used earlier.
I took that horse by the rein and led it as we walked on foot.
As for Aleris, since she’s a princess, it’s normal for her to ride on the horse while others continued walking.
However, night time came and we’re still a few ways to the castle.
Manipulating the earth, I slowly and carefully made shelters for everyone to sleep in.
As for the loner, in order to not let him escape under the cover of the night, I trapped him with spirit formation arrays that El taught me.
With Aleris being a princess and always prepared, she actually had a large amount of food in her storage ring so we were all able to eat dinner.
I then laid a spirit formation array around our camp that will notify me if someone were to leave or arrive.
This way, no one had to stay awake for watch duty and everyone, including me, were able to sleep soundly.
At first, I thought of going back to the [World Home] for tonight but if I did so, I wouldn't know if some emergency were to happen here and it could be dangerous.
That’s why, I can only sleep here while cuddling Vil.
I must say, it’s been awhile since I last slept with a stuffed toy, haha.
Well then, let’s sleep…
+ + +
After a few minutes, I was forced to wake up by something jumping on top of me.
Opening my eyes, I saw Vil somewhat excited about something and inched her way towards my face.
What…it’s just Vil…
Thinking that, I went back to sleep when suddenly, something soft touched my lips.
At first, it was a furry soft kind of feeling, however, it suddenly changed into a wet soft feeling accompanied with heavy breaths and something heavy seemed to have gotten on top of me.
Thinking that Vil’s just playing around, I tried to ignore her and sleep as I am really too tired.
However, the soft feeling on my lips changed and something wet and slippery entered my mouth, intertwining with my tongue, seemingly licking every place in my mouth.
I opened my eyes immediately at that.
What was in front of me, was a beautiful girl, with short light blue hair that went down her neck, her eyes closed and her hands feeling my body…body…that’s when I noticed…
She’s naked!!!???
Surprised, I pushed her away from me.
What the hell!?
What’s happening!?
Who’s this girl!?
Why is she naked!?
Why are we kissing!?
Why is she here!?
Too many questions in my head which made me dizzy.
If it were any other person in my position, I think they might’ve already pushed her down. But I don’t even know how this situation happened. So why should I let her uhh…rape me?
Hm? Maybe this is a dream?
Then isn’t it alright then?
But it feels too real…
Just then, I noticed something wrong with her.
She…has a long horn on her forehead! And are those rabbit ears!?
And why does it feel so familiar…ah!?
“…Vil?”
“Master~ Let’s make lots of babies!”
WHAT!?
No no no no no, wait a minute.
Why is she humanoid?
Why now?
What exactly is happening!?
Damn, finding out who she was didn’t help at all! Rather, it only made the number of questions in my head increase!
“Master~ Master is so unfair! Master doesn’t play much with Vil! Master always flirts with annoying Human and others! Vil wants to flirt with Master too!”
“V-Vil…calm down. First of all, get dressed.”
“Vi? Master likes to make babies while dressed?”
“No!”
How did it even get to that!?
Vil cutely tilted her head for a second before crawling her way towards me again.
As she crawls in a very seductive manner, her two mounds swayed and jiggled…
Wh-what’s with that!? Why does she have them big!?
I gulped down the saliva in my mouth…my mind is saying that I should get as far as possible from her, but my body wants to push her down!
Wh-which side am I supposed to choose!?
“Master~”
Unable to move, Vil was on top of me yet again and she stared at me with her eyes.
When I stared at her…I noticed that something is wrong.
It’s like…it’s like…she’s not in control…like she’s…in heat?
Like the mating season of animals?
…Eh? C-could it be…she’s also affected by it?
T-this kind of thing…so she only wants to do it with me because I’m near her?
I- I need to stop her!
Right, let’s run away!
I don’t want my first time to be something like this!!!
“[World Home]!”
You cannot enter the [World Home] in the middle of the battle.
@#$%^&;*(*&;^%$#@@#$%^&;*(%$##$%^&;*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t even recognize what I said in my mind.
It’s like I said a lot of different curses all at the same time!
YOU CALL THIS A BATTLE!!!???
Well…I guess it is a…form…of battle but……..SERIOUSLY!!!!????
“Master~”
“Noooooooooooo!”
Seeing as Vil started to remove my clothes, I made the choice…to run!
“Vi? Master wants to make babies outside? Vil is good with that too!”
“Stay away from me you horny rabbit!”
See what I did there?
Ah! This isn’t the time for puns! I need to run! My chastity is in danger!
…I swear I never expect that I will say that line ever in my life…and I really didn’t want to…
“Master~ Where are you going? Come back to Vil!”
“Nooooooooooooooooooo-!!!”
+ + +
“Noooo!”
I woke up with a start.
...Ah? That was...a dream?
So it was a dream...no wonder El didn’t react at all when that happened...
Blinking, I looked around and found that I have not left my bed at all.
I patted my body from head to toe...phew, my clothes are still here.
Vil is...in her rabbit form...not like she has any other form but…
*Vii~?*
Vil seemed to have woken up from my screaming and looked at me weirdly.
El also seemed to wake up and asked.
“What’s wrong? Lucas? You look like you saw a ghost?”
“That...no...just a...dream...”
I wonder, is that a dream or a nightmare?...It can’t be a wet dream...right? The hell, why would I even think of doing it with a rabbit?
...I don’t feel like sleeping anymore…

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
8 297A Fractured Song
Just because you’re transported to another world, doesn’t mean you’ll escape from your pain. Abused by her parents, thirteen-year-old Frances only wants to be safe and for her life not to hurt so much. And when she and her class are transported to the magical world of Durannon to fight the monsters invading the human kingdoms and defeat the self-titled Demon King, Frances is presented with a golden opportunity. If she succeeds, Frances will have the home she never had. If she fails, Frances will be summoned back to the home she escaped. Yet, despite her newfound magic and friends, Frances finds that trauma is not so easily lost. She is dogged by her abuse and its physical and invisible scars. Not only does she have to learn magic, she has to survive the nightmares of her past, and wrestle with her feelings of doubt and self-loathing. If she can heal from her trauma, though, she might be able to defeat the Demon King and maybe, just maybe, she can find a home for herself.

8 110Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent.
