"...Saving... the world?"

"This universe is not the only inhabitable world in this spectrum of reality.

There are 4 more, excluding your world with a total of 5 realities co-existing together."

Rululu changed her tone of speaking to a serious one.

"...M-multiple... realities?"

...This... w-what? 5 worlds?

Huh?

I found myself accepting her words rather easily. It felt as if, they were words of truth. I continued staring at Rululu, who was returning an alluring gaze of her own.

Flustered, I quickly turned my head to the side. But...

I'm not as surprised as I thought I would...?

"That's right, it's getting a little annoying trying to explain every single thing to you bit by bit with you overreacting to anything I say. I casted Negate Confusion on you for the time being. It'll wear off in a few minutes."

"?! You can read my mind!? And what is that... Negate... Confusion...?"

"...White. Please keep quiet while I explain things to you. We don't have too much time before you're relocated from the Soul Forest."

"...I-I understand..."

"The 5 worlds have existed in parallel to each other, never interfering if possible for many supereons.

...That is until the existences known as "Cross Porters" showed up a few centuries ago. Cross Porters were essentially people who crossed dimensional barriers and appeared in different worlds to change the flow of reality. Sometimes they appeared as heroes to kill demon kings in a medieval planet. Sometimes they appeared from extremely rare tears in the fabric of space, and appear to hasten a country's technological advances by an entire decade. Sometimes they arrive as antiheroes like a demon king in turn because mankind's civilization proved to be detrimental in the long run... But there was never an instant, where they were brought about repeatedly, and purposely. You've heard of goddesses as well right? Those... in the stories of light novels you've read before?"

"You-you know about what I've read...?!"

I retorted extremely quickly.

What the fudge? She a goddess?! It seems I'm getting less nervous around her, that's probably due to that Negate Confusion she said earlier huh... my speech is turning weirder too...

...Still... Have I seen her before...?

It's a weird feeling, but I got over it quickly. I've experienced weirder delusions after all.

Things like Déjà vu are the least of my worries right now...

Rululu returned my attention with a light cough.

"Back on topic though, a goddess governs a world respectively. These 5 are the only ones who can transport, reincarnate and conduct any sort of world transfers or transmigrations.

That said, the goddesses also understand the impact of Cross Porting, so they reduce these interference to a minimum unless the world is faced with imminent threat to its continued surviva-"

"-Kind of like a demon king like you've said? And this balance of 'Cross Porting' has been breached by someone or something, and you want me to salvage this situation you're in. ...These goddesses sound like a god... wait. What about the gods of other religions? Do they not exist in the wider spectrum of the world? Am I right to say that?"

"...That's... right... huh. I thought you were not as intelligent as you looked... but I guess you really catch on quick!"

"..."

This fairy has a really sharp tongue... with all this explanation, I'd assume I was going to war or something... haha...

"Well, we haven't found the source of it yet. It could be a rogue goddess, but I doubt they possess that form of irrational emotion to do something this detrimental to their own worlds~?

So now, your role. How do you save the world right?"

"That's right. I am chosen for this task, but clearly I'm not up for it with my constitution. Let alone a slime in an RPG, I probably couldn't even hurt a fly. Wait... some slimes are actually powerful in a few novels I've read... Errr... so like...

Do I get... any sort of special-"

I gave mild suggestions inside of my head of how I wanted my ideal Mary Sue character to be, just like the script of a light novel.

But Rululu interrupted me.

"No. You don't get anything really."

"...Wh-...huh...? Wh-what do you mean... I don't... get anything...?"

"...If you think it's going to be easy, you're very wrong.

I'm no goddess so I can't grant you any sort of powers.

The worlds are deteriorating and the goddesses are missing, so the game-like interfaces these goddesses can concoct up to control your powers in terms of levels, skills and stats, are non-existent when you arrive.

Other people who had already been blessed with them will have it, but you won't. End of story."

"The goddesses are missing!? Isn't that one of the worst case scenario?! I won't have anything to fend myself with?!"

"Ah, time is almost up. So to summarize, your goal is to live in this new world, and deal with all current Cross Porters somehow or another. Once you Cross Port, you will be the last Cross Porter in existence."

"W-wait... I'm not d-"

A wormhole appeared beneath my feet before I could realize the meaning behind those words.

"W-wait! At least tell me what I need to do!? I'm already dead, aren't I? Is returning to life this easy?!"

"It's not revival. Tch, I swear... just go already."

"Goddamniiiii-"

The wormhole consumed the entirety of my body, as I felt my consciousness fading away again.

"...Well that's not a surprise. To end up here again probably means only one thing... I must have died after that.

Tch. ...Really... security around that place is so lax... Who'd live there..."

"...You are..."

The boy before me with red eyes looked at me intently.

I know what he's doing, but it won't have an effect on me.

"Hmm...? ...Have we met...? "

"..."

I made a light gesture with my hands to perform a seal.

"...So that's how it is. Locking me away like this, looks like you know who you're dealing with.

...Well, don't glare at me so much, I can't do anything much to you anymore after you've done that.

Not like I fancy staying out for extended periods of time like this...

...Well then, your plans. I'll play along for now."

"..."

He lost his consciousness and collapsed onto the floor.

Shortly after, the frail boy known as White woke up groggily once more, unaware of what had happened earlier.
