Chapter 2
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
There was an old saying, “Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never lose a battle.”
So, we had to learn about the Time Stop Breeding Uncle first.
In fact, the name “Time Stop Breeding Uncle” was just a disparaging term used by the community.
There wasn’t an officially confirmed name.
However, seeing how even the developers referred to him that way, it was almost half-official.
The Time Stop Breeding Uncle was literally an uncle who stopped time and raped the heroines.
Of course, because he stopped time before raping the heroines, not only the protagonist, but even the heroines couldn’t perceive the existence of the Time Stop Breeding Uncle.
The reason why this uncle was particularly malicious was that he only appeared in the good endings.
For example, a good ending of this game was the wedding of the protagonist and the heroine.Exactly, this uncle raped the heroine who had barely made it to her wedding after overcoming all sorts of hardships and adversities!
[Such a beautiful bride! This uncle is happy!]
[I came inside a brand new, unused vagina for the first time!]
[This uncle will now disappear coolly. I don’t like secondhand goods.]
It would have been understandable if he only appeared in the bad endings.
Just why did he suddenly appear in the good endings without any foreshadowing?
Moreover, the developers added fuel to the fire.
[Life doesn’t flow as easily as in a game. We wanted to directly inform you of that.]
[Why are you so angry? It’s not a good choice to be too immersed in virtual characters.]
It sounded like trolling, right?
This was directly posted on the official SNS of this game.
As a result, the community was in an uproar.
Refund rush, 1-star rating shower, etc.
The game was properly bombarded.
But what was the use of that?
The players had already been hurt.
Even if there was foreshadowing, it would have still been a situation where they would have been cursed out.
It was already absurd that the Time Stop Breeding Uncle suddenly raped the heroine.
But the developers were also saying things like that as well.
The biggest problem was that I had become that Time Stop Uncle.
The one who wore glasses, had a disturbing amount of acne, and was even severely obese.
Damn, I felt like committing suicide.
Fuck.
But I couldn’t actually commit suicide.
I had to somehow return to my original world.
That was why the first thing I, who had transmigrated, did was none other than training.
“Huff, huff!”
This game boasted an incredibly gloomy worldview, unlike adult games.
Of course, I had the ability to stop time, so I was confident that I would never die.
But, I couldn’t be satisfied with just that.
The Time Stop Breeding Uncle was a typical ability-reliant character.
In other words, despite having such an overpowered gift, he lived like that.
So, I focused on increasing my capabilities first.
And actually, the biggest reason was that I really didn’t like my appearance.
This protruding belly and chubby cheeks were at such a level of obesity that they made me want to cut off my fat with a sword immediately.
“Swing the sword more strongly!”
“Yes!!!”
Fortunately, in the refugee camp where I was currently located, anyone could easily learn the sword.
The refugee camp was a temporary shelter created by people who had lost their hometowns due to the war.
However, the soldiers were currently fighting on the front lines, and couldn’t protect this refugee camp.
So, as a temporary measure, retired soldiers gathered the men and gave them military training.
Of course, it was just basic swordsmanship.
But for me, who had no knowledge of swordsmanship at all, it was like a long-awaited rain.
Also, through exercise, I started to lose weight as well.
The reason why the Time Stop Breeding Uncle was so fat was simple.
It was because he secretly stole other people’s food using his time-stopping ability.
It was written in his diary.
“At this point, it’s not just absurd, it’s truly amazing.”
He had an overpowered skill like time stop and still resorted to petty theft.
Furthermore, I sincerely paid homage to the guy who nonchalantly stole what people risked their lives to obtain.
It was even written in his diary that when people asked him for help, he’d run away with his time stop ability.
So, not only did he steal people’s belongings because he was scared of the outside, but he also refused to work, spending his time playing and eating.
At this point, the restriction wasn’t the problem; rather, it was the Time Stop Breeding Uncle who was innately trash.
But, I had become that trash?
“Should I just die?”
“You can’t die!!”
“Oh my god, you startled me.”
I had no choice but to sit still, acknowledging this bleak reality after the training was over.
Suddenly, I heard a loud voice next to me and was a little surprised.
When I turned my head, there was a boy with red hair tied in a ponytail.
I felt like I had seen him often somewhere.
Although after contemplation, I disregarded that thought immediately.
That person was a woman, not a man.
This guy in front of me looked like a man no matter what angle I looked at him from.
The red-haired boy wore rags on his body.
And, because he couldn’t wash properly, his face and body were dirty.
The boy held out the bowl he was holding to me.
I tilted my head.
“What is this bowl?”
“I’ll give you this, so don’t die!”
“……”
There was food in the bowl.
But it was clearly not for human consumption.
Moldy bread and dirty vegetables stained with filth.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like eating it would send me straight to the afterlife.
But this was definitely not a joke.
Rather, the boy was trying to help me out of pure goodwill.
Because right now, even this kind of food had to be eaten gratefully in this situation.
Of course, there was a possibility that things might go wrong later if I ate it.
But if I didn’t eat it, I would starve to death right away.
Furthermore, the boy had given the food to me.
He was so damn kind.
“If you give this to me, what will you do?”
“I’ll be fine! I can get more again!”
“You’re really a kind child. This uncle is touched.”
Damn, this way of speaking was insane, seriously.
The unique speech pattern of the Time Stop Breeding Uncle still remained and was tormenting me.
No, that wasn’t important right now.
You had to reward a kind child.
“Follow me for a moment…Ah.”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
I had momentarily forgotten.
The fact that my current appearance was extremely suspicious.
I glanced around.
I could see people glancing at me sideways.
It felt unjust.
But it wasn’t like I couldn’t understand them either.
If I were them, I would also be wary if someone who looked like the Time Stop Breeding Uncle stood in front of a child like this.
Anyway, in this situation, taking this child home was too risky.
Then, there was no choice.
I never thought I would use my gift in this way so soon.
I snapped my fingers.
As the sound of my middle finger and index finger colliding spread around, the world had begun to turn gray.
Soon, everything stopped.
“It’s definitely an incredible ability.”
Everyone’s time except mine had stopped.
The Time Stop Breeding Uncle even raped the heroines in this state.
Physical interference would also be possible.
It was literally an invincible ability.
But with this kind of ability, all he did was petty theft and rape.
Thinking he was a really great man, I moved my feet.
First, I went back home and brought some food.
Anyway, these were things that the Time Stop Breeding Uncle had gotten through stealing.
Giving them to people in need like this was the best choice.
Besides, there was plenty of food.
I packed a few suitable cans.
The cans here were slightly different from the cans we knew.
First of all, unlike modern cans, the cans here could not be preserved for a long time.
To be precise, they could be preserved to some extent.
But they couldn’t be stored for as long as modern cans.
In the first place, according to the game’s settings, they were hurriedly made to preserve food for as long as possible.
Of course, taste and nutrition weren’t entirely guaranteed.
But, I could confidently say that it was a hundred or a thousand times better than eating the food waste the boy had.
“Here, this is a gift from your uncle to a kind child.”
“What?! Y-you’re giving this to me?!”
“Of course. A kind child deserves to receive it.”
I handed three cans to the boy.
This amount would last for 3 days if he ate sparingly.
Then, I took the bowl from the boy and threw away the garbage it contained.
No matter how hungry you were, eating this kind of garbage would be super poisonous.
Of course, if you were on the verge of starvation, you had no choice but to eat it.
But, I had no intention of leaving him like that.
“Th-thank you! Thank you so much!”
“This uncle is happy just to be of help.”
“Yes! It was really a big help!”
The boy kept bowing his head to thank me.
Then he ran to his house, and I warmly watched him go.
Of course, my number one goal was still to return.
To somehow go back to my original world and get my body back.
But you needed some leeway for that too.
The world was about to be destroyed right now.
Would it be wrong for me to leisurely find a way to return?
So, I had to lose weight first.
Damn it.
