-Takeharu’s perspective-
"WHOA!!"
Ugh, that surprised me...
Who would have thought that my journey still continues? Usually after we defeat the final boss the story proceed to Epilogue right? Seriously? What kind of shitty game is this?
I've been traveling for about 3 days. One day in my own world, 2 days in another world, which seems to be a game world. Yeah, that's right, the overly used setting from Light or Web Novels! A game world!! If you asked why I’m sure it is a game world, it’s because I have played the game!
For 1 day I was pulled here and there by Selia. I borrowed a wooden sword from Shou’s storage and a wok as a shield for my initial equipment. Good thing that I watched how my knight avatar in online game moved and attacked and I also practiced a bit of kendo before. And do you know what? Selia is a really bad mentor!
Usually a level 1 character face easy enemy such as slime to train and gain level. But what should I do? I doubt that my level is actually level 1. Of course in the bad way I mean. I might be even lower than level 1 character! And you know what?! My first opponent was a swarm of Goblins!!!
Yes, it was Selia’s fault!! She attracted around 10 goblins around to become my training monster. That’s good and all, but she just ran away and watches me fight!! Seriously?! I might as well become a sandbag for those goblins! Well, I pulled it off alive somehow though.
That’s not all. She attracted more powerful enemies every single time I had just won so I almost had no time to rest. And you know what? In the middle of that she even managed to attract Minotaur the thing that almost killed me!!! Mrs. Selia, my image of you has somehow dropped…

Long story short, after I manage somehow to win up to even stronger monster than Minotaur and almost close to death that it seemed like my life was flashing before my eyes, Selia said “Good! Now, I have carved decades of experience to your body!” and pulled me around once again. And then we found a portal and we got sent into a game’s world.
“There’s someone who let the monster break out intentionally from this world! If we stop him, we will be able to stop the monster to attack your world further!” and like so, me and Selia travelled that world for two days defeating monsters and found the location of the final boss.
Oh right, my equipment actually got a bit better. Rather than wooden sword, now I held a pretty good sword, and real buckler as shield. Thanks to how I usually watch my knight avatar, Selia praised me about my technique. Well that makes me a bit happy for sure.
When we arrived at the location, a bald old man was there. You might think that the old man was the final boss? No, he is not the final boss. But that old man just killed the final boss with a katana and cut him to pieces! Seriously, I’m not kidding. So what had we been doing for these two days for?!
The old man who killed the final boss then walks towards me and give me the sword he had slain the final boss with. Then he walks away while saying “I guess, it’s time for me to retire. Cough, cough” Are you really saying that?! Old man!! You seem to be still powerful though! And who the heck are you?! I don’t remember seeing character or NPC like you in this game?! Ah, the headache…

And now, I’m faced with another crisis. After the old man had gone, Selia and I just stay dumbfounded there and suddenly a portal opened up. I thought that it was the portal to go home until Selia shouted something to me. “Wait, this isn’t the same portal we went through!” but well, it’s already too late. We already sucked inside it. The next thing I know is, here I am.
Now this place seems like a Sci-Fi setting game. Ah yeah, I also know this game. God… seriously? Are you telling me to battle against aliens with sword and shield?! I have enough of this absurd setting! At least give me some cheat or something! Even though Selia teach me magic I can’t use any magic!!! Usually in story like these the protagonists have some kind of cheat right?! Where’s my cheat!? Where’s my harem!? Aa, I want to go home. Seriously, Shou where the heck are you right now? Are you also experiencing the same?
This time I saw people wearing some kind of Sci-Fi looking armor surrounding some kind of device. Hmm, now that if I look closer is that device opening up a portal? What are they doing? Someone, ah no, two people is getting sucked by the portal. It feels like I remember the girl… and that guy is…
… wait… Isn’t that Shou?! IT’S SHOU!!! He’s getting sucked into the portal!
“Selia! That’s the guy! My friend who had been missing suddenly! Quickly! I think he needs help!”
Selia then obediently followed me running towards Shou. I’ve been shouting out his name but it seems like he couldn’t hear me. Just a few moments later he got sucked into the portal. GOD! Seriously?! What kind of game is this?! The people in Sci-Fi armor looked at me and Selia with a wary eyes. Well of course they would…
After I explained the situation, they let me go towards the portal. Me and Selia then jumped inside. Really, this is totally annoying. Who the heck created this troublesome scenario?
