With Fusion of Video Game fictional thing, I become Irregular

Chapter 164: Side Story : Banned From previous record



"I GOT BANNED?" I said, genuinely confused. How could I be banned by the Author? After all, I had free will to choose my own path, didn't I?

[No.]

"…Then tell me why."

[Is that a reference to music? Please stop.]

"You… fine, you won. Why did you ban me?"

[You supposedly enjoyed your time in Arknight. There are still more things to do.]

"Things to do? You mean more interactions with females again? Arknight is already the end of the story arc. The problems were resolved. You do remember how we worked together to fix all that, right? You can't tell me to keep staying there. You already know this: the longer we stay, the more painful it becomes for them—especially since they've grown independent. Just let them go. Let them move on. Time will heal, but they mustn't remain stuck in the past because of me."

[Are you sure?]

"Hey, you're my creator. I'm your character in your story. Everyone can think I'm a jerk or an asshole, but this is fan fiction. Anything can happen here. You provide the script, and I follow it. I know you've admitted that you lack the talent to make a perfect story—that this is just a hobby—but problem-solving can always save a story if you understand the system."

[Thanks for the compliment. Are you sure you've completely finished Arknight?]

"Yes. After all, I still have my phone, my save data to confirm all that, and my memoirs in my pocket dimension. You don't need to drag in side stories or anything else. Just let it go. Not every arc needs to be 100% complete or perfect. The fun is in reading and enjoying the journey. Every author has their own writing style, and I'm your main character. I'm a fusion of video game elements and a fictional irregularity. That is your fantasy, your creation, and your choice to make. The fusion of game mechanics into storytelling, no matter how nonsensical or absurd, is your blueprint, your style. Fiction is imagination—not always realistic, but it can be grounded enough to be enjoyable without diving into overly complex fantasy or too much minimalism. It's all about tone."

[Very well.]

"Now you're catching my drift, but I still don't get it. Why did you ban me?"

[To detach you from them.]

"Ah, so we're personal now?"

[Yes, pretty much.]

"I don't want to assume your gender, but judging by your writing, you're probably male. Bro, to be fair, I appreciate the additions you gave me. But sometimes, should we tone it down a bit for the greater good? Especially since the next world is deciding the role I'm supposed to play. Heavenly Marshal is indeed a curse I've struggled to overcome due to my own fear and lack of bravery. Doctor is the privilege I gained through all the war crimes I committed in Arknight. I don't deserve to be a savior unless I know how to kill, metaphorically speaking of course. Don't take it seriously.

Now, in the next story, what role should I play? I probably don't want to be the main character in their series. Villain or hero doesn't appeal to me. I'd prefer being a side character, an ally, or even a villain—but never taking the spotlight from the true main hero or heroine. That's why you gave me the Lahkesis ability to decide my role. I appreciate your planning, but your early "overpowered" designs are a bit annoying for me. Still, if you can make it work, then fine, let's collaborate.

After all, you are my creator and storyteller. I am your character. I was your player in your story. Now, bring me to another world."

[Do you want any additional preparation?]

"What? I thought you already prepared everything."

[Suggestions are acceptable.]

"I see. Based on the Attribute Windows system, we need a stat system tied to the next world. I think the Dark Souls 3 stat system would be great."

[Is this good enough?]

"Any suggestions?" I looked at God and smiled.

"Bonfire."

[Stigma added: Bonfire Maiden Lv. 1]

"Do you want to see the list?" I nodded at Satan.

[1. Game Save Data Extraction: This stigma allows the bearer to possess an extraordinary talent for extracting and manipulating game save data. It is intricately linked to the creator's affinity for gaming and technology. The stigma grants the ability to extract, modify, and optimize game save files with unparalleled precision. However, it comes with a limitation—each extraction module gains user level 1 proficiency, not reaching the maximum level of 10, even if the user has ventured into the corresponding game world.

2. Game Master: The Game Master stigma bestows upon the bearer the ability to transcend into various game worlds. However, there's a limitation—the user cannot bring anything into the game world but retains the ability to bring back acquired items and knowledge to the real world. This unique feature enhances the stigma's power, especially for games the user is currently playing, plans to play, or has already experienced.

3. Arche Body: A divine masterpiece, born from mortal origins, now embodying both celestial Seraphim angelic grace and infernal Demonic Devil ferocity. Flawless skin, cosmic eyes, and a commanding yet comforting aura define this transcendent form. It radiates beauty and warmth, a beacon of trust and solace, leaving an ethereal trail that symbolizes a harmonious blend of celestial light and cosmic elegance. However, there is a unique limitation to acquiring the Arche Body— the user can only utilize the body when experiencing a situation of life or death. This absolute requirement is necessary for the user to attain the Arche Body, making it a symbol of both resurrection and empowerment in critical moments.

4. Uni-mind: Uni-mind, entwined with the Marshal's essence, grants omniscient knowledge and experiences across the universe. It encompasses three perfected aspects: War Mind, dominating in battle; Conquest Mind, effortlessly subduing all; and Victory Mind, securing triumph in any endeavor. However, each aspect has its unique limitations. War Mind is limited by the user's will to fight—if the user lacks interest in combat, it nullifies the effect. Conquest Mind relies on the user's desire; the more fervent the user's thirst for conquering, the more potent the effect. Without a genuine desire to conquer, it becomes a futile effort. Victory Mind is dependent on user satisfaction. If the user is not satisfied with the results of War and Conquest Minds, attaining victory becomes elusive. An equal balance between the aspects of War and Conquest is essential to gain absolute satisfaction and unlock the full potential of Victory Mind.

5. Bonfire Maiden: Maria, The Doll, stands as your faithful companion and maiden on your journey. With a unique ability, she transforms user "currency" fragments into increased user stats, aiding you in your endeavors. To invoke her presence, you need only set up specific preparations— a sword, a flickering fireplace, and an offering tailored to your preferences. Maria appears at your side, a silent guardian ready to enhance your capabilities and accompany you on your path]

"Any additions?" I thought quietly to myself as I considered other possibilities.

"Because of my Anomaly Nature, I'll likely need missions or quests, correct?"

"Yes. To level up your Stigma, you'll need specific scenarios, skills, or sacrifices from Fables. Maria will give you the requirements and missions as needed—think of her as your guild hall maiden."

"Thank you. How about skills?"

"Skills depend on experience. They come from actions, choices, and whatever is required of you. The higher your skill levels, the greater the number of resources you'll need."

"Can I ask about currency for my stats?"

"Soul. You can gather souls from many things—treat them like orbs. They act as your currency for upgrading stats, completing missions, or purchasing specific things. Maria is already connected to Kalimdor, so you don't need to worry about that."

"I see. Thank you. When will I receive the save data?"

"Since the scenario begins around 2019, do you want to place yourself in a previous year for preparation purposes?"

"Yes, please do that. Also… can I take my treasury with me?"

"We'll restrict access to all of your treasury except the currency itself."

"Alright. Thank you."

"So, what kind of appearance would you like now?"

"Fierce Deity Link, without the face tattoo or elf ears."

I looked at myself as my appearance shifted into that form—handsome, fierce, and powerful.

"Thank you."

"Remember this, Valtor. You are at the 0th Regression of this story. This means everything is early, and you can prepare in advance for the next regression."

"Am I in an alternate universe or the main timeline?"

"You are in the main timeline. In this scenario, Dokja is the Demon King of Salvation, but the constellation isn't Dokja. You will become an anomaly, independent of the story and its bonds—your actions will decide your path."

"I see. Thank you. Show me my save data again."

"What?" I was suddenly pushed from Heaven and found myself in Florida. Since my Metamorphosis wasn't active today, I decided to make a house for myself.

I bought a house in a suburban area in Florida, finding a place that suited me perfectly. I started purchasing game consoles and collecting complete sets of games.

Though it cost a fortune, it didn't matter. Over the course of three months, I managed to collect everything I wanted. Then, I traveled to Japan to pick up some doujinshi and other important items. This was crucial for my plans.

I bought specific literature, installed power generators, and redesigned my house without the help of construction companies. After building my own ranch, I began filling a large drum with various bacteria.

Literally, I collected bacteria and some parasites, setting up several leak procedures and ensuring these parasites and bacteria wouldn't turn into diseases.

Once I finished all the preparations, I waited for the scenario to begin.

Seven months passed. I still lived as a man devoted to the community. For some reason, I suddenly fell ill. I sensed that this was a sign.

I locked myself in my house for several months, eventually emerging.

News about the scenario's appearance was all over the media, but I was on the brink of death.

"I leave it to you."
