Chapter 116

Wearing a complete black and white tracksuit, he looks like the typical otaku you see everywhere in Japan, or rather, the same goes for Japanese high school students who don't usually wear school uniforms.

"Hey everyone! Can you see me?"

486, whose real name Subaru Natsuki, introduces himself while facing the camera.

[Meme Lord: Great, it's visible, and the angle is right.]

[The Perverted Scum Man: You really are a high school student just like me.]

"My name is Subaru Natsuki, an 18-year-old active high school student! The hero from Otherworld who is about to save the world! Nice to meet you all!"

486 adjusted the camera to focus on the street next to him.

"This is the Otherworld I've traveled to. I just came out of a convenience store and suddenly I'm on this main street. It's really strange."

"According to the general setting, this kind of Otherworld is basically set in the medieval era."

486 looked at the vehicles on the road.

"The cart wasn't pulled by horses, but by an animal that looked like a lizard. According to the medieval setting, this should be Sub-dragon species or a Ground Lizard or something."

"Moreover, there are many Demi-human around, which means this is a world where multiple races exist, and there will probably be elves, orcs, demons and the like."

[Perverted Scum Man: It should be said that most Otherworld) settings are like this: Swords and Magic, humans and Demi-human, etc.]

[Give Me Some Face: It's somewhat similar to those unique races in my world, but they can roam freely in the streets, and the city looks quite prosperous. In some ways, this country is much better than mine.]

Red-Haired couldn't help but offer his opinion: In the world of Pirate King, there isn't just one race—humans. There are many races, such as Giant Race, fish-men and mermaids, Dwarf Race, and all sorts of other races. However, many of these races are actually discriminated against by the World Government. They become targets for slave traders, captured and sold at high prices to the Celestial Dragons, becoming chained slaves and objects of entertainment.

486 understood what Red-Haired meant, and he crossed his arms, pretending to be deep in thought.

"Discrimination against Demi-human is indeed a key theme in many works, such as wars between humans and Demi-human, wars between humans and beastmen and elves, especially elves and beastmen, who are often captured by humans and enslaved in many works."

"However, this world seems relatively peaceful, at least. The Demi-human here can even carry weapons, and they are probably adventurers or something, without any disturbances."

"And what I like most is that the language here is the same as mine, yay! I'll go find Adventurer's Guild and register to become an adventurer!"

486 started carrying the plastic bags he had brought from the convenience store and walked back together.

[Perverted Scum Man: So, since you didn't encounter any Goddess to help you reincarnate, what's your cheat code? Did you gain any special abilities during your time travel?]

"Special abilities? I'm really not sure, but I suddenly came to this world, so I must have been summoned, like being summoned to Otherworld to be a hero or something."

486 walked along, observing the surrounding streets.

"At least for now, I don't know what my special ability is, and I don't have any opportunities to show it. I can only wait and see how things go."

"There are no unexpected events right now. When an unexpected event occurs, my abilities will probably be able to be revealed, or I will find my summoner. In that case, I will probably know what my abilities are. But summoning cannot occur in the city center. Obviously, there was an accident during this summoning. I was transferred to this city. The person who summoned me should be anxious right now!"

"Yes, I need to find the beautiful sage who summoned me quickly, or she'll be worried!"

[This Perverted Scum Man: Why was he so certain she would be a beautiful young sage?]

"Isn't that obvious? Those who can summon a hero from Otherworld like me are all beautiful, saintly girls who care about the safety of the world!"

[Meme Lord: Yeah, yeah, you bet even the Shield Hero next door is crying tears of joy.]

"The Shield Hero, what does that mean?"

486 cannot understand what Li Yue means.

"Well, I'll find a place to rest first, and also summarize the current situation."

Having observed the situation on the streets to a sufficient extent, 486 chose to find a small alley, then sat down and began to organize the intelligence.

"I was summoned to Otherworld by an unknown beautiful sage to save the world, but due to some special reasons, I got separated from the beautiful sage, and now all I have are these supplies."

Inside the plastic bag in his hand was a bag of snacks and a cup of instant noodles, and in his pocket was an old-fashioned flip phone and some Japanese yen coins.

"Supplies are a bit scarce, and there's no currency in this world, but it's not a big problem. I believe the beautiful girl who summoned me will arrive soon!"

As they were talking, footsteps entered the alley.

"Oh! I hear that sound! The beautiful girl who summoned me is coming!"

However, what appeared in front of 486 was not a beautiful girl, but rather men of three different heights: tall, medium, and short.

"Hand over your valuables!"

Clearly, what arrived was not some sage, but rather a street thug!

Instead of being scared or angry, the threatened 486 became excited.

"Well, although it's not a sage, this should be it!"

[A sadistic scumbag: Here he comes! The first Perverted Scum Man to come and get himself killed after being transported to Otherworld!]

[Give Me Some Face: What? Does this kind of thing really happen?]

[Perverted Scum Man: It's super common. Basically, everyone who gets transported to Otherworld has to go through this kind of story, except for me...]

"That's right, that's the classic plot. Although I didn't find the beautiful girl who summoned me, it's clear that I will awaken my own power in the upcoming battle!"

486 excitedly rushed forward.

Although he is a homebody, Subaru is completely different from Satou Kazuma. Before his time travel, Satou Kazuma was a true homebody, while Subaru often practiced with a wooden sword at home, resulting in excellent physical fitness and even stronger wrist strength than the average adult. In a fight, he might not necessarily lose!

"Awaken! My power!"

[So Arrogant! Already dead.]

[Everyone:...]

191. [Invincible] Death Re-load

[Perverted Scum Man: Hey, what's going on?]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: No, she just died like that?]

[Give Me Some Face: This was too sudden! When he rushed at me, I thought something was going to happen, but after throwing two punches, he got stabbed to death twice?]

[Meme Lord: Yeah, he's probably dead.]

[This is Hip-Hop: Hmph, I thought he was going to do something unexpected.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: He's probably dead. There's absolutely no sign of life in the footage.]

The death of 486 brought everyone who was lurking to the surface.

When 486 started his live stream, everyone in the group started watching. On the surface, only Li Yue, Shanks, and Kazuma were watching him, but in reality, the other three were also watching, just without saying anything. After all, it was a completely unknown Otherworld, which was still very novel to them.

[The Perverted Scum Man: But, according to the standard setup in Otherworld, he shouldn't have died so easily, right? Or maybe he'd become an immortal after death and then truly activate his cheat-like abilities?]

[Give Me Some Face: If you die, will you become an undead?]

[The Perverted Scum Man: That's not quite right. It's just that people who transmigrate to Otherworld usually get some special treatment. For example, I encountered a terrible Goddess. Although I chose the terrible Goddess initially, Goddess also gave me many other powerful advantages as options.]

[Meme Lord: So, he probably didn't die directly. The simplest and most direct reason is that if he had died, the Live Stream Room should have been shut down by now. The fact that it's still running means he's not dead.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: So, what will he become next?]

[Meme Lord: Hmm~~who knows? Keep watching and you'll find out.]

Under everyone's gaze, 486's body suddenly twitched violently, and then the screen went dark. When the screen brightened again, 486 was back on the street, looking at it with a bewildered expression. He looked around and saw a familiar scene, a familiar street, and the scene was just as it had been before. Even the uncle selling apples by the roadside was still staring at him with a small twig in his mouth, just like before.

What's going on? Shouldn't I be in a small alley some distance away? Why am I back on the main street?

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

[Perverted Scum Man: You're already dead!]

Kazuma news brought him out of his daze.

"What's going on? Am I dead? I wasn't just now."

[Meme Lord: You're dead. We all just saw you die, but because of your death, we've figured out what your superpowers are in this Otherworld.]

[Perverted Scum Man: Yeah, it's a very simple and easy-to-understand superpower. Anyone who's ever played a game knows this ability.]

"What's the meaning?"

486 was still a little confused.

It has to be said that Subaru's reaction time is really slow. At first, he thought he was dreaming, and even after thinking it was a dream, he still tried to communicate with the other party as if they knew each other, which led to an awkward situation. He died several times before realizing that his ability was to Death Re-load after death. When he first arrived in the Otherworld, he was full of confidence, but he couldn't remember any details. It wasn't until he died several times that he finally realized he should remember some things. As a result, his subsequent actions were all based on assumptions. In short, he was full of Pride despite knowing nothing about this dangerous Otherworld.

[That Perverted Scum Man: What are you doing, acting stupid? Are you really that dumb or just pretending? Reload your save! You've already reloaded and restarted.]

"Load save?"

[Meme Lord: That's right, you just died. Now you've been reloaded and restarted, back to the save point where you first arrived in this world.]

"What?! Could it be that my superpower is saving and loading saves?!"

With the explanation from other group members, 486 finally understood what had happened.

[Perverted Scum Man: That's right, your superpower is the most basic ability players have in games: returning to the last save point after death.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Does this mean he can relive this experience?]

[Meme Lord: That's it. In a sense, it's the ability to record time. After recording a point in time, if things don't go as expected, you can go back to the recorded point and start over. In this process, you can keep trying until you achieve the desired effect in the future.]

[Give Me Some Face: Hey, isn't this ability invincible? If you can go back in time and start over whenever something doesn't go your way, then everything you do will eventually go incredibly smoothly!]

[Perverted Scum Man: After all, this is a basic function of the game designed to allow players to complete it in one life. Not everyone can complete the game in one life, so constantly allowing players to restart the challenge is a basic function of the game. If you can't even load a save, you'll definitely be called a piece of garbage!]

"That's right! If you can't even reload a save, then it's a complete garbage game. After all, nobody wants their playthrough to turn into a bad end because of a small mistake! Being able to restart means endless possibilities!"

As a former otaku, Subaru naturally understands just how abnormal his current superpowers are.

"But what are the conditions for triggering a rollback? It can't be my death, can it?"

[The Perverted Scum Man: Well, that depends on whether you have an operation bar in front of you, such as a save/load option. If not, then you can only die, since dying always results in a save/load.]

"I can't see the operation bar or status bar at all!"

486 couldn't help but touch his chest.

"Although the ability to Death Re-load is incredibly powerful, the thought of dying still makes me feel incredibly painful. I didn't feel it just now, but now, recalling the scene from before, my chest is aching!"

Even though there wasn't a single wound on his chest under his sportswear, 486 felt a stinging pain there, and even experienced phantom pain.

"Although I died once, at least I know what my abilities are. So, what's my main focus going forward?"

[The Perverted Scum Man: Who knows? Ever since I met this terrible Goddess and her terrible teammates, I've completely lost the desire to fight the demon king and save the world.]

"That's right!"

486 suddenly cried out.

"Although I don't know what my main quest is, at least I know what I should be doing now!"

He turned his head to look at a small alley in the distance.

"Then let's go find those three guys and get revenge!"

192.486 died again!

When Subaru Natsuki first arrived in this world, his first death was actually different from what the group members saw. He didn't die so quickly the first time. Instead, he met Emilia. Because Emilia helped him, he wanted to help Emilia in return and they became Emilia. As a result, every time he was resurrected, the first thing he did was to find Emilia and help Emilia.

Of course, it also has to do with Emilia's personality. Because Emilia is like a saint, she takes the initiative to help those in need, which made Subaru Natsuki choose to continue helping Emilia even if it meant restarting the game.

However, it must be said that although he earned the title of a true man in the mid-to-late stages as he repeatedly committed suicide to reincarnate in order to save people, his actions in the early stages were really confusing, the kind that could easily raise your blood pressure just by watching.

"You'd better lie down properly!"

486 delivered the final punch, instantly knocking down the last remaining member of the tall, medium, and short trio who was still standing.

"Tch! You three good-for-nothings, just lie there quietly and don't cause any trouble!"

Having completed his revenge on the three, Subaru clapped his hands in delight.

"Alright, I've taken my revenge. Now it's time to think about my main quest."

"So, where is the beautiful girl who summoned me?"

[Perverted Scum Man: Why are you so sure it's a beautiful girl who summoned you? Couldn't it be some ugly old man or woman?]

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

486. Hands on hips.

"The one who summoned me must be a beautiful girl!"

It is true that a beautiful girl summoned you to this world, but how should I put it, the identity of this beautiful girl who summoned him may be beyond his expectations.

Tap tap tap—

"Hmm? I heard a sound. This time there was only one person! And they were in a great hurry, which means!"
