In the Multiverse, I Only Get Stronger by Wife-Taking

However, this was only true for the real world. In the Inner World, strength reigned supreme, and there was no such thing as monogamy.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest," Tsukikawa Shu said.

Goto Hitori nodded.

As the two looked around, intending to find a safe place like yesterday, figures appeared ahead. A group of people were walking and arguing, seemingly not very happy.

"They look like people from Seaside Comprehensive High School."

Goto Hitori said after watching for a while.

Tsukikawa Shu searched his memory and also had an impression.

Seaside Comprehensive High School was a middle school from My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected. The blue-haired boy leading them was a member of their Student Council, albeit a minor character.

Tsukikawa Shu had a very poor opinion of this Student Council, as it contained many arrogant, condescending individuals who gave orders but were unwilling to act themselves or take responsibility.

"I'm from the Student Council, and my abilities are far superior to yours. If you don't obey my command, I'll make sure you don't get any materials!"

The blue-haired student at the front was arrogantly ordering the students around him.

The three students around him dared not speak out despite their anger.

Seaside Comprehensive High School was also a key middle school. Those who managed to join the Student Council were generally superior to others in leadership and intelligence, which established Koda Ken's position among these students.

Originally, he was just a gofer in the Seaside Comprehensive High School Student Council. However, after arriving in this otherworld, he transformed, like a crow becoming a phoenix, allowing him to intensely feel the pleasure of wielding power.

He gripped the blood-stained steel pipe in his hand, looking at the not-yet-completely-dried bloodstains, and revealed a joyful smile.

He was originally a rule-abiding student, but in this unconstrained otherworld, all the ugliness of human nature was unleashed.

Especially after discovering that killing other players could grant experience points and all their items, he completely shed his good student facade.

Monsters were ferocious, but humans were much weaker, especially since the Inner World had only just opened for the first time, and those who entered had little combat power.

First, he would use his former good student appearance to approach them, then reveal his true colors and launch a surprise attack.

Player experience points were much higher than those of low-level monsters.

Not only that, but he had also roped in three students from the same school, threatening them into cooperating.

Cooperating meant sharing experience points; not cooperating meant death.

Thus, by threatening and offering benefits, Koda Ken successfully assembled a team to hunt players.

In addition to killing for experience points, he had also defiled two female students.

"This otherworld is very dangerous. If you're not cruel, you won't survive."

Koda Ken continued his PUA work, "Your conscience and morals are not worth mentioning."

"As for the women you toyed with, who would know? They are so weak, they only have a dead end in this world. It's better to contribute some experience points and let us have some fun. You wouldn't want such good experience packs to go to those monsters, would you?"

The other three remained silent, implicitly agreeing with Koda Ken's words.

After all, when they encountered the two young female students, they couldn't resist the temptation. Koda Ken took the lead, and they followed.

"As long as you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, no one will know what we did in this world. We can still live normal lives when we return to the original world," Koda Ken reiterated.

At this moment, Koda Ken also spotted Tsukikawa Shu and Goto Hitori standing in the distance.

Similarly, Tsukikawa Shu and Goto Hitori were looking at them.

After leveling up, Tsukikawa Shu's body had also improved, granting him excellent eyesight. He could see the bloodstains on the weapons of the four people ahead from afar.

"Are you also people who just arrived in this world?"

Seeing living people, Koda Ken's expression immediately changed. He put on his original gentle, good student demeanor and walked closer, carrying his steel pipe.

The other three followed behind him, carrying their weapons without a word.

Four against two, and one of the opponents was a frail girl, completely outmatched. Koda Ken couldn't be bothered to keep up the pretense.

The Inner World had only been open for less than two days, and everyone's levels were roughly similar. Koda Ken's team, having hunted several players, had a certain level advantage over others, making them fearless.

They just needed to let the other party lower their guard initially, get close, and then take down these two experience packs.

Tsukikawa Shu did not answer the question.

Based on his memory of this minor character and the current situation, Tsukikawa Shu was certain that this guy had completely exposed his true nature in the Inner World.

Koda Ken was still acting convincingly, appearing harmless, but the fact that all four of them were rushing forward with weapons was a big problem.

"Hitori, prepare for battle."

Tsukikawa Shu said.

Goto Hitori nodded.

Coincidentally, Tsukikawa Shu was also planning to see what skills he could plunder by defeating players.

"This world is dangerous. It's rare to see people who were also teleported here. How about it? Want to team up with us?"

Koda Ken said as he approached the two, while secretly reaching behind his back and gripping a dagger hidden there.

"A pleasure to meet you."

Tsukikawa Shu also walked forward with a smile.

Seeing the other party also walking over, Koda Ken's heart rejoiced.

"Brothers, let's take care of this guy first. As for the girl left... well, she's a bit plain, but not bad. Do whatever you want with her."

Koda Ken turned his face slightly and said to the three male students behind him.

The two sides approached step by step.

And just as they were about to enter attack range, Koda Ken's mouth couldn't help but split into a smile.

"Die!"

He suddenly drew his dagger and made a motion as if to stab.

With his level up, Koda Ken had also gained reaction speed stronger than ordinary people, and his moves were very swift.

However, the next second he looked up, he saw a hammer smashing down towards his head!

This was Tsukikawa Shu's newly acquired Green Gear Weapon, the [Skull Crusher Hammer].

Tsukikawa Shu no longer pretended, his smile completely gone, replaced only by absolute coldness.

In terms of speed, Tsukikawa Shu was faster than Koda Ken!

Koda Ken's face changed drastically. He hurriedly switched from offense to defense, using his dagger to block Tsukikawa Shu's hammer.

Clang.

Koda Ken's dagger was directly smashed, and his entire arm went numb with pain.

It was only then that Koda Ken realized that the guy in front of him was even higher level than himself, and the quality of his weapon was a complete mismatch.

His dagger was only White Gear, but the hammer the other party was using was at least one level higher.

"What are you standing around for! Attack!"

Koda Ken shouted to the others around him.

The other three male students also had their fighting spirit ignited.

Although they didn't know Tsukikawa Shu's level, they figured they had a chance if they outnumbered him.

However, at this moment, an extremely dejected voice came from nearby.

"You guys, do you really think you're so amazing?"

Goto Hitori had returned to her usual vacant-eyed appearance.

"We're all the same, just expendable resources for society."

"Even in the Inner World, we're still pathetic. Back in the real world, we'll still be exploited by countless people in high positions..."

"What's the point of fighting?"

This voice was like a bucket of ice water poured onto the hearts of Koda Ken and the other three. Negative emotions surged over them like a tidal wave.

"Yeah... what's the point of fighting?"

"Let's just get killed now. It's better than living a life worse than death as beasts of burden back in the real world."

"We're all going to die in this hopeless world anyway. It's better to die by the hands of fellow humans than by monsters, at least it won't hurt..."

The eyes of the three male students who had been aggressively charging forward all became hollow and lost, their will to fight vanishing, their breathing even becoming difficult.

Koda Ken also felt an intense aversion to fighting, even considering smashing his own head with a rock.

"No... this must be some kind of evil skill, don't be affected by it!"

Koda Ken, with his higher level, still had some resistance. He shouted with his remaining sanity.

However, the three male students in front remained unmoved, and they all dropped their weapons.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Tsukikawa Shu wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. He raised his hammer and mercilessly smashed the heads of the three male students.

Blood splattered along with white brain matter.

Tsukikawa Shu didn't care if the other party was a good person in the real world or not. Anyone who threatened him in the Inner World now would be rooted out.

Koda Ken's face turned deathly pale.

Run! I have to run! These two don't know what kind of evil skills they're using. If this continues, I'm going to die!

But at this moment, his brain had completely lost coordination with his body.

Negative emotions devoured his last shred of reason, and his entire body became completely immobile, settling into the most comfortable state for facing death.

Koda Ken could only raise his vacant, despairing eyes and watch the hammer fall mercilessly, rapidly enlarging in his vision.

After dealing with the four male students, Tsukikawa Shu put away his hammer.

"What the heck. These guys' levels are too low," Tsukikawa Shu said, somewhat disappointed.

He had planned to go all out at first, but after killing them all, he realized their actual levels weren't that impressive.

The somewhat familiar member of the Seaside Comprehensive High School Student Council was only level 8. The others were level 5 or 6. Tsukikawa Shu, who was two to three times their level, could have subdued them even with his bare hands.

Moreover, these four looked quite formidable, yet not a single one of them had awakened a class.

Without a class, no Class Cards will drop.

The only skill obtained was dropped by Koda Ken.

[Strength Boost (Beginner)]

[Upon activation, increases Strength and Speed by 10% for thirty seconds]

A rather useless item.

"It's better than nothing, though."

Once some order is established in the Inner World, this skill card should be exchangeable for other items with other players. After all, skills are rare finds, and the only known acquisition methods are random system rewards upon reaching certain levels, or by exploring the map.

As for those unlucky ones who didn't trigger system rewards or find skill cards through exploration, they'd have no choice but to grudgingly trade other items for skill cards.

At this moment, Goto Hitori also ran over, feeling a bit nauseous as she looked at the corpses on the ground.

This was her first time witnessing a death, and the scene was bloody.

Moreover, this was her first time killing someone... even if she didn't kill them directly.

Could she also die like this in the future?

However, at this moment, that warm, solid chest approached her again, embracing her unease.
