《Re: Globus Online (Completed)》Chapter 9.
Advertisement
I wait for a couple of hours without sleeping and I notice Emilia logging back in.
"Welcome back, Emilia." (Ethos)
"Ah... Ethos. The two girls you mentioned are still not here?" (Emilia)
"No, but they should log back in soon... Speaking of the devil they are." (Ethos)
Iris and Jil log back in and spend a few minutes getting up from the bed and coming downstairs just to find me sitting on the couch with another woman.
"Ethos! Who is this woman!?" (Jil)
"Calm down Jil! It's part of the event! Check your event log!" (Ethos)
They look at the event and see it near completion.
"Oh... So she is the last assassin?" (Jil)
"Yup. I wanted to question her with you two because I doubt she will tell everything to me but you are all women so you should get along well... I'll go and find the damn fairy that is still flying around in the house." (Ethos)
"What fairy?" (Iris)
I leave and go usptairs leaving them all in confusion for a few seconds. They then start 'interrogating' Emilia... More like speaking about what I did and well... About me only.
"I can still hear you from up here! Start questioning about the event!" (Ethos)
The girls immediatly fluster and change the subject to an actual interrogation of the event. I use my minimap to find the fairy... Seems the fairy is around... Iris's room?
I enter and look around just to see the fairy cleaning the room... I notice a picture on the night stand of the new me... Did she take a damn picture of me smiling just to put it in a frame in-game...? Don't tell me she has pictures of me in reality... I don't need a Yandere harem member!!! I don't need one!
I need a Kuudere and a tsundere! Not a yandere damn it! This fairy better be worth me finding out Iris is going down the yandere path... I sneak up to the Fairy and stand behind it while it's cleaning the picture. I'm holding back my laughter as best as I can right now...
A fairy, a mythical being that can be barely caught with a band of pro-butterfly catchers... Is right infront of me... And does not notice me.

"Whatcha doing, little fairy?" (Ethos)
The fairy immediatly freezes up like a tin soldier. I pick the fairy up gently and put it ontop of my palm... It's a girl huh. I'm really blessed by the goddess of love. Well... I did see Aphrodite after all... And I am the MC of this world.
"Don't be so surprised. I noticed you a few hours ago, Kyra. That is your name right?" (Ethos)
"Maybe..." (Kyra)
"Don't worry, Kyra. I won't hurt you. I just want to know more about you... A fairy of Dawn flying around the house we were put in, cleaning it up. It's a little... Suspicious." (Ethos)
"Well... It was my house before you came here." (Kyra)
"Ah, then we are sorry for the intrusion. I'm Ethos by the way." (Ethos)
"Atleast you aren't throwing your trash everywhere and are actually keeping the place clean..." (Kyra)
"So... I want to know more about you, your background. I'll tell you mine in exchange if you want to." (Ethos)
"There are other people downstairs right?" (Kyra)
"Yes." (Ethos)
"They aren't... Fairy Catchers per chance...?" (Kyra)
"No. One of them is an assassin I captured, two of them are the adventurers who are protecting the academy with me. And if I was a fairy catcher you would've been caught the moment I entered." (Ethos)
"Hmm... I still can't take my chances, sorry about this..." (Kyra)
She throws some dust at my face, Fairy Dust and flies away. I basically slow-walk at the same speed she runs away if I use a tiny sliver of my true speed.
"Huh!? How can you catch up to me!? You aren't even properly walking! Fairy Dust is supposed to make the enemy immobile and if that fails it will always take half of all their stats down for a small amount of time!" (Kyra)
"Now... There is where you went wrong. Infinity split in half is still infinity right? And it's basically impossible to make me immobile... After all, all of the rules in this world are under my control." (Ethos)
"Huh!? What do you mean! Are you one of the Higher Entities!? One of those that changes things with some kind of weird blue screen!?" (Kyra)

"I am the Virtual Reality God so technically I am even higher than the 'higher' entities. I do have their powers though." (Ethos)
"You cannot be a god! God's do not walk on the same soil as mortal beings!" (Kyra)
I bring up my screen and show it to her, she faints while flying and I catch her and bring her downstairs. The girls were talking about me before I came downstairs...
"So, you got any information? I finished my fairy hunt. This is Kyra, a Fairy of Dawn." (Ethos)
The girls turn their attention to the fairy that is fainted on my palm. I'm slowly caressing the fairy's head while casting some healing magic to restore her stamina.
"Umm.... We did... The one who hired the Assassin's was a Marquis... The Marquis of Maernolia... One of the King's favourite aristocrats... And by the king I mean the King whose daughter I was before..." (Iris)
"So I still have to involve myself with affairs of the kingdoms huh? This is going to bring so much trouble upon my back it's going to be annoying... Especcially because most of the NPC's are now full unshackled A.I's that think for themselves... I still don't know how your servers can handle that much, Jil." (Ethos)
"Well... We only used a portion of our real servers to boot the game and set it up... All of it is not used yet... But when the A.I's started unshackling themselves the servers started booting up without us doing anything. We couldn't even shut them down. Currently every single server that our company has all over the world is being used... And it's barely keeping us in the green. The VR game was a huge success and we have a lot of money thanks to that and the game can function for atleast a hundred years now but we still need money for other projects to improve the game..." (Jil)
"Ah, so money is the problem again? Hmm... If I was reincarnated in the game... Can it still be called a game though? Games are usually created by us and we call it another 'world' but this is a real world now. Well... Time will show us the answers. I'll expand my control so it takes over the newly booted-up servers. Now... Let's wait for Kyra to wake up." (Ethos)
We wait for an hour until Kyra finally regains conciousness and looks around while slightly panicked due to me still caressing her hair.
She is about the size of my palm and is wearing a black dress and her hair is half orange and yellow and half-black.. Her eyes are sky-blue. It's like the personification of Dawn is sitting on my palm...
"Umm... Where am I... Ethos..." (Kyra)
She keeps looking around and then realizes that she fainted and I caught her. She tries to fly but falls back down onto my palm.
"Don't push yourself, Kyra. I'll introduce everybody. Well... They will introduce themselves." (Ethos)
"Hello, Kyra... I am Iris. It's nice to meet you." (Iris)
"Hello. My name is Jil. It's nice to meet you." (Jil)
"Hello.... My name is... Emilia..." (Emilia)
"Ah... It's nice to meet you all... As Ethos said... I am Kyra." (Kyra)
"And the introductions are complete. Now... What do we do about the event..." (Ethos)
I see a screen on the left side and I bring it up. It's a new screen about the event.
Quest Event!Due to Ethos capturing one of the Assassins the Event has turned into a big one.
A marquis of a kingdom had hired the assassins and now it is up to the group that
is involved with the Event to bring him to justice.Rewards:??????Failure:Marquis survives the attack.A party member gets captured and interrogated and
will forcefully reveal the plot.When Failed:The world will know of your plot to kill the Marquis.
-100 to all relations with every race.The Marquis will place a bounty on your heads and you will be
hunted down for the rest of your in-game life.This Quest Event cannot be refused.
"What the hell!? This quest cannot be refused and it's rewards are still question marks!? And what is up with the When Failed part!? We cannot fail this... Iris, Jil. Bring up the Event screen to see what I am talking about. Emilia, you too probably." (Ethos)
They bring up their event screen and look at the Quest Event.
"This... Just got a lot more serious." (Iris)

Humanity has spread throughout the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. All is not well – worlds are strictly controlled and governed by the Alliance of Planets. However, for the first time a planet, Caxis, has succeeded in the unthinkable—seceding from the Alliance, sparking unrest and a wave of insurgent activity. In response, the Alliance makes public the existence of a new superweapon known as the Gravity Bomb. Marcus Fenig, a courier that travels the Perseus Arm for a living, is cut off from his wife and baby after the Alliance surrounds Caxis with a blockade. He will do anything to get back to his family. Garrick Karn – a loyal Alliance officer who looks up to Allison – is searching for traitors using increasingly desperate tactics in the belief that any price is worth paying to keep the Alliance safe.

8 219Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
