Chapter 9: An interesting conversation
Another day passed....
Adam was currently studying physics
Yes, physics. If he wanted be a slightly competent Herscher, he needed to at least have some profound knowledge in physics
Not that becoming a Herscher was easy, his options were pretty limited but if he wanted a sudden and powerful upgrade then he needed to become the so called 'apostle of god'
Most of the Herscher's abilities relied on physics. He needed to know as much as his intelligence and time could allow
Why bring down lighting when you can just mess with the magnetic field of the earth? The consequences of such an action would definitely result in something that will please a Herscher who wants to destroy humanity
Why freeze stuff when you can potentially stop time? He knew it was possible thanks to Esdeath's abilities, and as a manifestation of a physical rule, then the Herscher of Ice could definitely do it
Why just increase gravity when you can create an event horizon? Maybe a singularity? Or a literal black hole? That's definitely possible if a Herscher of Stars knew the science behind gravity and black holes
Of course, what Adam mentioned wasn't as easy as it sounded. After all, it could take a whole life's worth of research to potentially create such a civilization and planetary destroying phenomenon
[Ding]
"Who is it this time..?" Adam voiced out, exasperated
He didn't like people interrupting him when he was deep in thought
Although he wouldn't ignore the Chat Room, he was still a little annoyed
[Advocate of gender equality: Hey! This weapon is not actually as bad as I thought]
Kazuma suddenly sent a message addressed to him
'He really just messaged me just for this?' Adam thought with annoyance
[Devourer: Oh? Then you got that card from the guild and actually used it in battle?]
[Advocate of gender equality: Yup. I didn't want to do those boring side quests]
'Should I tell him?' Adam thought about how Kazuma's hopes will be crushed if he told him, but in the end he decided to refrain himself
[Advocate of gender equality: Also, how do you know so much about my world?]
[Devourer: How do I say this...? Imagine dieing and then getting reincarnated in the Pokemon world, that is my situation]
[Advocate of gender equality: Wait, so you actually.... Those worlds are real?]
Kazuma who was lying on the stables suddenly stood up and looked at Adam's message with an enlightened expression
[Devourer: Of course, I don't know if you are familiar with the multi verse theory. But it is said that the multi verse is infinite, so if it is indeed infinite, even if the chance is abysmal, there could be a world out there, that is similar or even exactly the same as the Pokemon world]
Kazuma took a while to respond
[Advocate of gender equality: Then that means... My world could actually be....]
Even if Kazuma didn't finish his sentence, Adam knew exactly what he wanted to say
[Devourer: Do you think your choices are predestined? Do you think that you don't have free will? Most importantly, do you believe that your life is fake?]
Adam replied to him while deciding to go over and lay down on his bed with a pondering expression
[Advocate of gender equality: No. To be honest, I haven't felt this alive in all my life, so my life can't be fake]
[Devourer: Don't you think that's just because you died and learned to live your life to the fullest?]
[Advocate of gender equality: ha ha.... Very funny.... But maybe you are right]
[Devourer: Don't think too much about it, Kazuma. So what if you are in an anime? So what if my reincarnation is just an idea for a fan fiction by some guy? In the end, it doesn't matter. We make our own choices and grasp fate in our own hands, although I'm not philosopher, but I think that knowing you are in an anime is more liberating, because with that knowledge, you can change your fate]
Kazuma looked at the message thoughtfully before finally laying back to the haystack and continue writing
[Advocate of gender equality: I have something important to ask]
[Devourer: Go ahead]
[Advocate of gender equality: ... Am I... The protagonist?]
'He took it better than I thought, as expected of a NEET' Adam looked thoughtfully at Kazuma's question before finally replying
[Devourer: What makes yous think that? I don't want to stroke your ego and make you do something risky because you think you have Plot armor]
[Advocate of gender equality: I got isekaid into this world?]
[Devourer: That goddess literally said that you are not the only person who was reincarnated....]
[Advocate of gender equality: I got a goddess....? No scratch that, she is useless]
[Devourer: The only time you'll get treated as an actual protagonist will be when you visit Eris]
[Advocate of gender equality: That other angelic goddess? But why would I visit her?]
[Devourer: Let's just say that you will have to keep your head in the game for that situation]
[Advocate of gender equality: Alright, whatever, I'm not gonna question it]
Adam thought for a while and finally couldn't restrain his curiosity
[Devourer: I also have a question]
[Advocate of gender equality: What's up?]
[Devourer: Answer me truthfully... What was the content the Chat Room used to scam you?]
Adam knew all the other members reasons. Monika joined because she wanted to communicate people from reality, Rias joined because she thought that it was a sacred gear, the cute spider thought that this was her cheat in her new life and Rimuru probably thought his situation couldn't get worse so he just clicked it
Kazuma's reason was still a mystery to him
[Advocate of gender equality: ... ]
[Devourer: Don't try to log out or ignore this. I'm watching you]
[Advocate of gender equality: Haaah it was..... You know...]
Adam's eyes went wide open when he grasped the meaning of Kazuma's message
[Devourer: Are you telling me that you... Kazuma, the reincarnator and the one who hopes to defeat the Demon king, joined the Chat Room for..... adult content?!]
[Advocate of gender equality: Yes....]
[Devourer: .....]
[Advocate of gender equality: .....]
[Devourer: Nice, you are a real man...]
'It's stupid... Yet respectable' Adam thought with approval
[Exhibitionist: Can you two please stop talking about these things in the main Chat Room?! I'm quite busy here]
Rias was currently in a field away from her Occult club, trying to improve her control over her power of destruction. But these two were distracting her with the kind of conversation they were immersed in
[Advocate of gender equality: Where did you come from?]
[Devourer: I think she was curious about our conversation and decided to log in and see]
[Exhibitionist: Yes. I did watch most of your conversation]
[Advocate of gender equality: How can you not be bored or annoyed by this flashing screen?!]
'Just transfer the Chat Room to a phone... Dumbass' Adam had the urge to say this, but he controlled himself
[Exhibitionist: I think your conversation was interesting.... Especially the possibility of me being in an anime and Devourer getting reincarnated in another world]
[Devourer: Well, I think from all the members, you are the only one who is normal. Me and all the other have either been reincarnated or isekaid]
[Exhibitionist: ....]
[Exhibitionist: I'm a devil...?]
[Advocate of gender equality: Yeah and....?]
[Devourer: That's nothing special]
Adam continuued Kazuma's words as the power of destruction of Rias went out of control because of her slightly damaged pride
[Exhibitionist: You two....]
[Devourer: Just kidding Rias-chan, being a devil is pretty cool]
[Exhibitionist: Don't call me that!]
[Devourer: Although all of us being reincarnated or isekaid except you is interesting, you are also quite special. So just keep training, and when you surpass your brother, come teach us a lesson, okay? ]
[Exhibitionist: I-I.....Although you are right, why do I feel that something is wrong with what you said?]
[Devourer: I think it's just your imagination]
[Advocate of gender equality: If that guy said you are special. Then it's not what you are thinking, it's probably something offensive]
[Devourer: Whatever. I have to go and coax an unstable girl who can destroy the city I'm living in at any time]
[Exhibitionist: WHAT?!]
Adam didn't bother seeing the replies and closed the Chat Room directly
And although he said that, he didn't specify which of the two girls he had to coax. Sirin's consciousness can awaken at any time, after all
So he had to tread carefully and spoil Kiana with a lot of food so she doesn't go murderous Queen mode
'I feel like this is just an excuse, but I still have to get close to her so I can keep an eye on her' Adam comforted himself and tried to justify his future actions
Of course, he is a true Advocate of gender equality, so if the queen consciousness of Kiana awakens, he is going to spank her into submission so she hands over control to Kiana out of fear
If it was Kazuma... Adam would probably slap him till he got back to his senses.... After all, a beautiful white haired girl is always better than a sweaty otaku in a green tracksuit
His eyes slid over to the Chat Room again, more specifically, his points
[Points: 54]
'Another week at most and I'll have enough points to travel to another world'
Adam wanted to go to another world. He could use that worlds system to empower himself so he could have more chances of survival when he returns back to the honkai world
He was debating between the slime's and the spider's world. They both had a similar system with Heroes, Demon Lords, skills, races and evolution. From what he knew, the spider's world was safer, the only danger currently being the monsters in the dungeon she was in
As for Rimuru's world....
It's better to not talk about it... There were countless monsters running around in that world and the power levels always fluctuated wildly
Kazuma's world is very safe, but except choosing a class, there's not much to offer. Even with the fate ability from the Chat Room, he wasn't sure if the class system would work in another world
[Gacha system is now open]
Adam was snapped out of his pondering when a notification rang in his mind
He looked at the message dumbfounded, before shivering in fright as this reminded him of his traumatic past with gacha
[Advocate of gender equality: Gacha?! I don't need it with my shitty luck!]
[Exhibitionist: So it's gacha. Although I trust in my luck, I'm still a little nervous]
[I'm a slime, so what?: Gacha, my worst nightmare...]
[Sentient game character: Can I manipulate the code so it's just gives me the highest rank every time?]
[Schizophrenic spider: I didn't have great experiences with gacha in my previous life....]
[Devourer: ....]
Adam didn't say anything, his luck was bad in his previous life. And he didn't want to mention his luck in his current life, which might be even worse
[As the Admin, Devourer has a free draw]
'So generous?' Adam thought dumbfounded
He couldn't imagine the Chat Room giving this out for free. It might give him shitty stuff or this might be something that needs to be repaid by him in the future
'Eh, do it. Who am I to complain anyway?' Adam run out of patience so he stopped over thinking it
He tapped the gacha panel, and he clicked on the free draw that the Chat Room gave him
[Devourer(Admin) got C.C character card (Code Geass)]
The draw was announced to all of the members. He guesses that it might be something that will only happen this time because it was a free draw
Still though....
[Devourer: Damn, I actually got a hot girl from the gacha?!]
Adam was surprised that he got something good from his first try at the gacha with his shitty luck
He got a hot witch girl that was immortal and could give geasses to people like they were candy
[Advocate of gender equality: Damn!! You lucky bastard!]
[Exhibitionist: If you can summon her, I hope you don't do anything inappropriate]
[Sentient game character: hehe~]
Adam shivered when he read Monika's message
'I hope she doesn't delete any girl that breathes the same air as me' Adam joked to himself
'But this character card... Looks like I can either summon the character.... Or integrate with it' Adam thoughtfully said as he carefully looked at the cards description
'Hmmm, what to do...?' Adam was in quite the dillema
'Oh, why didn't I thing of that!' He suddenly remembered that he had 5 people that could give him their opinions
[Devourer: Should I summon her? Or just get her abilities?]
Just as Adam asked that...
[Sentient game character: Just get her abilities]
Monika instantly replied, but Adam ignored her
[Advocate of gender equality: You can literally summon a hot witch that can give you an op geass and you are still thinking about it bastard?!]
[Devourer: Huh? You know code geass?]
[Advocate of gender equality: Of course! But that's not the point!]
[Advocate of gender equality: If you are a shut-in like me you are probably a virgin. Now is a good chance to lose your first to a hot girl]
'Huh, he has a point' Adam couldn't help but admire Kazuma's logic
Of course, he wasn't a virgin, but he was still tempted
[Exhibitionist: Well.... I don't really know. You should just choose what you want]
Adam looked at the message of Rias and sighed inwardly
[I'm a slime, so what?: I haven't heard of this anime, so I don't know what to tell you]
[Schizophrenic spider: If you are in danger, you should choose to get her abilities]
Adam looked at all the messages and felt conflicted, on one hand, he could get the immortality of CC, which would allow him to survive the upcoming honkai eruption and it would definitely allow him to live without worrying for his survival in the future
On the other hand, he could summon a hot woman with centuries of experience who is loyal to him. And with some effort, he could also become intimate with her
Both options were tempting
'To get a hot witch girl, or to just get her abilities?' Adam was contemplating what he should choose
'Couldn't I just tell her to give me or whoever I want a geass?' Adam tried to find excuses
He don't know much about code geass, he only watched it briefly because he found C.C extremely hot, but he did distinctly remember that she could give anyone a geass
'But... Her immortality is too precious' Adam calmed down his lower head and tried to think with his upper one
'As much as I want to fuck C.C, my life is more precious than a beautiful woman' Adam reasoned with himself
Having made his choice, Adam no longer hesitated and chose to integrate the character card
It's as the spider said, he was in danger currently so he didn't have the luxury of summoning her
.....

AN:
As you can see, although Adam is lustful, he doesn't think with his lower head
I didn't want to make a character who was a buddha or a Sage and ignores the opposite sex, but I also didn't want to make a simp who constantly thinks with his lower head, so I tried to reach a balance
That's all for today, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
