A Cliché Multiverse Story

Holding hands with Aimi, I headed toward the dining room. It felt so lewd when I looked at her blushing mess of a face.

I went overboard with the teasing, didn't I???

Together, we entered the dining room kept in surprisingly good shape.

Sitting on the head table with her back straight, Yuriko wore a calm expression. She used a fork and knife to slice a part of the meat.

"Asahi!" Saya's excited face made me smile. "Come, let's have dinner."

Who would believe this girl was acting cold to me just a few days ago?

Busujima siblings waved toward me with a bright smile. Nee-san also gave a lovely smile as she pushed back the chair and stood up.

"Aa-kun, take a seat." She pulled out a chair for me and gestured for me to sit.

"Thanks."

"Don't worry, it's my duty as your 'Nee-san'."

Pretty sure it was a diligent servant or wife's duty. I was kinda worried when she emphasized the 'Nee-san' part, glaring daggers at Busujima siblings like a tigress. Even they couldn't meet her intense gaze.

"Nee-san, why don't you take a seat too?"

At my distracting words, she turned and took a seat beside me. Aimi settled the chair on my left.

Those were clearly the signs.

Shizuka would become a yandere if I didn't do anything soon.

Regardless of my love for a yandere lover, letting Shizuka fall in this abyss felt wrong.

While the war raged in my head for Shizuka's future, I finished the rather salty dinner.

I sneaked a glance at Saya. From her slightly puffed chest and her smug smile, it was easy to guess who made it.

She turned to me with a nervous look. Her eyes probed for the answer to her cooking.

I could never hurt the feelings of a cute girl like her. Though she may find it sooner or later on her own.

"It was good."

"Yeah!"

Love was truly blind.

I explained the situation of hunting to everyone including Yuriko. She put on a thoughtful expression briefly before agreeing. That was why I liked her so much in the manga. She was naturally submissive towards her man while acting like a cold and aloof beauty for others.

Regardless of the other girls aiming an envious gaze her way, Aimi stayed stoic holding my hand. I wanted to take others too, but this time they had to wait.

'Klyscha, show me some artifacts for stealth.'

(Very well.)

[Stealth Artifacts]

Slice of the Abyss (Rank SSS): A magical robe molded in the depths of Abyss, a living hell that constantly swallows aligned with fire including Gods.

—Light devourer (Active): Can devour the light on the user's will and strengthen the user.

—A step in the Abyss (Active): Allows the user to hide in the Abyss Realm, a plane different from the physical world.

—Anti-divine (Passive): Changes physique into Anti-Divine. Damage against enemies with relation to Divine increases immensely.

(Price – 450000 KP)

Invisibility Helm of Hades (Rank EX): The mythical cap embodying the concept of 'Stealth', created and used by Hades to kidnap his wife Persephone. Any God without omniscience won't be able to detect you.

(Price – 150000KP)

Skill Orb of Stealth (Rank B): A magic core of a shadow demon containing its innate skill 'Stealth'.

(Price – 999 KP)

The first one was so good.

That fire devouring abyss, isn't that from Dark Souls? That Helm too, I could grope any woman I want—that's what a pervert would say.

I am a pure gentleman!

The point was these two are very expensive for a bankrupt guy like me.

'Klyscha, buy two of the orb. In a world like this, that could help a lot.'

(Are you sure, my love?)

'Yes…'

Two fist sized orbs appeared in my hands.

(Crush it in your hands.)

I gave one to Aimi and explained the effect.

"Asahi-sama, thank you for giving me more strength."

She revealed a wide smile and crushed the orb.

*Ding!*

[—Aimi Akane: Affection +15]

Giving a stealth skill to the yandere… Did I just give her wings to stalk me more?

I shook my head and squeezed my fist, shattering the orb.

[—You have learned a new skill 'Stealth']

[—Stealth (F-Rank): You can tune and assimilate your presence into the surroundings. At this rank, beings with sharp perception can sense you.]

[—You have unlocked the 'Darkness' Element.]

[—Reward: +1 point in all attributes, +5 points in Magic.]

That came out of nowhere. So I finally achieved an element. Wait, does that mean I have no element?

(My love has affinity with every element. But you can only unlock them through practice.)

'Like bathing in lava and meditating under a riverfall to unlock the fire and water element?'

(Something similar or you can buy more skill orbs.)

That sounded better.

(There is an impossible way too.)

I knew where this was going.

(Danger of death. All the humans are awakening their element this way.)

'That's impossible for me. I… never feared death…'

(I know that very well. That's why I said it is impossible.)

I nodded my head and concentrated on feeling my mana; it ran through my veins and black strands appeared from my hands.

My mana changed into the darkness element. I controlled the mana and wrapped my entire body.

[Stealth activated]

Aimi also activated stealth at the same time. I could still see her probably because of my high perception.

I stood before the guards standing outside. A brunette with a haughty expression and a hulk like man with a timid expression. The woman had a sweet booty.

I smirked and slapped her ass wrapped in a leather tight suit, so loudly that the woman jumped from her position. Ignoring me she turned to glare at the man.

The man shrunk. "I-I didn't do it."

"Bastard, do you see anyone here?" She growled and summoned a fireball in each hand.

What followed was a one-sided beatdown.

That ass was soft. I turned to Aimi and squeezed her butt.

"Aimi has a firmer and springy butt."

Aimi smiled and raised her chin, just a bit. I chuckled and led her by hand.

Together, we wandered through the streets, houses, industrial buildings and factories. We encountered three Lv 13 undead. They looked hideous as ever. The next strong one was a female dressed in a business suit. Pale white skin, bright red eyes, and sharp fangs—I might have mistaken her for a vampire if not for her feral growls.

I charged and swiped my dagger. She abruptly ducked to dodge. I crossed my dagger to block the incoming punch. It still sent me a few steps back.

I have to practice a better stance.

This time, I concentrated to the best of my ability and rushed, aiming at her throat once again. She tried to dodge again. But I was ready and slammed my knee in her face, throwing her in the air.

What the hell? I felt like I hit a stone wall instead of someone's face.

Before she landed, I activated the frigid flash skill. My hands flew and slashed over and over. Blood streamed from the wounds as she fell to the ground.

*Ding!*

—You earned 58.66 XP from killing [Level 16 Cursed Undead]

[—'Dagger Mastery' ranked up to E.]

I tried swinging the dagger, and as expected, the swings got smoother.

For XP, wouldn't it be 352 XP as it was divided into six—Me, Aimi, Saya, Shiori, Saeko, and Shizuka. 320 XP without 10% bonus from Klyscha's blessing.

Any undead over Lvl 10 gave 2x the normal XP. I hadn't noticed it earlier but it made more sense.

Then we went wild and massacred the undead for hours.
