Overlord of the Night: "4,000-Character Mega-Chapter" (Continued)
If Haruhime weren't an adventurer, and not a naturally strong orc, this wouldn't be possible.
If it were an ordinary human being, they would probably have died suddenly at that Peak of Ultimate Bliss long ago.
So today is his last day in Orario!
He quietly got off the bed, just as usual, without waking the woman lying next to him.
First, I took a shower at the Familia's public bathhouse, and then I got dressed.
As for his luggage, he still didn't carry much in his backpack.
Four gold bricks, two bottles of spirit potion, and two bottles of Elixir.
As for weapons, he was currently empty-handed, with only two short knives tucked in his pocket.
He didn't bring his newly created "Marduk" simply because he had a better weapon.
Moreover, the "Orion's Arrow" is much easier to carry; when he needs to use it, he only needs to mobilize his power.
The deep, dark, and twisted door opened silently, and William did not hesitate for a moment to step through this extremely dangerous door for anyone.
Just as William's figure disappeared completely into the dark doorway, the world seemed to freeze in that instant.
The once vibrant colors were now uniformly tinged with gray, and Haruhime, still lying in bed, seemed to have lost her breath, falling into an eternal slumber.
William was now in the Gap of Worlds.
Looking around here, there is no color at all, only endless blackness.
It was this scenery that made him unwilling to come here, which led him to open the gate to the DanMachi World immediately after leaving the Irregular at the Irregular at Magic High School World.
A book without any illustrations, yet seemingly exuding an air of mystery, suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"Alright, which world should we head to this time?"
The book hovering in front of William turned its pages on its own, even without any wind.
William's brain was now racing, constantly extracting potentially useful information from the tedious data.
Then, a quick comparison was made to assess the potential for growth.
At this moment, his brain was operating at its maximum speed, far surpassing even that of a supercomputer.
After a short time.
The book remained in a world that he particularly admired.
"Strike the Blood"
The world is incredibly mysterious, and it's home to many different races.
In vampire stories, the True Ancestor are the world's highest fighting force; each True Ancestor possesses the power to single-handedly wipe out a nation.
The most important thing is that the True Ancestor also possesses the ability to be immortal.
Moreover, the humans who could barely contend with them were not so weak.
A witch who makes a pact with a demon, paying a price in exchange for power.
A spiritual medium born with exceptionally high aptitude.
These are the forces that allow people to barely contend with the immortal and indestructible True Ancestor.
To be honest, this world is very attractive to him!
It's not just the magic that he covets, although he's now involved in a great many kinds of magic.
However, there are a few types of magic that he still has no clue about.
Spatial magic and time magic are the two major types of magic he has always wanted to study, but he has no clue how to get started.
However, in this world, although they are still only using time magic as a means of connection, they seem to already have very advanced users of spatial magic.
All of this is fine!
What attracted him most was the magic that seemed to be recorded in the book— the Holy Annihilation —capable of changing the laws of the world.
So, according to normal theory, he should just go directly there.
Why hesitate?
At this moment, the Book of Worlds, at William's behest, began to turn its pages once more.
Asterisk City
This is a near-future world that is somewhat similar to the world of "The Irregular at Magic High School".
This world itself is a world with a very low concentration of mystery. Although there are humans who can cultivate "magic power = Star Power", they are extremely rare.
There are probably no more than a hundred people in the entire world who possess this kind of qualification.
Furthermore, specialized training methods are required, and most people who have the aptitude but lack the ability to cultivate are even more numerous.
But all of this was changed by a sudden disaster.
That was a disaster called "Invertia".
A meteorite shower fell across the world for three days and three nights without any warning.
This disaster destroyed many cities and caused a significant decline in the state's control over local areas.
Then, ridiculously, it was replaced by a business economic entity called "Integrated Enterprise Foundation".
It's laughable that a country could be seized from control by a group of businessmen, but this has indeed happened in the world.
But none of that matters.
What caught William's attention was the mysterious power that accompanied the meteorite— the Prana.
It was under the influence of this mysterious power that a new species of human— the Genestella —was born.
The physical abilities of the Genestella far surpass those of ordinary humans, and they also possess the spiritual energy of "Star Power".
Among them are individuals with superpowers who can connect with the Prana in the air through their physical bodies.
