Chapter 7 - Members
Ring Ring Ring!
While he was busy brooding at how unfair the world is, his cell phone rang. Looking at the caller, he clicked his tongue before picking up.
"Yes?" Dio asked after answering the call
"Yes? What do you mean yes!? It's midnight already goddammit! Your shift was supposed to be an hour ago! I gave you permission to take other part-time jobs, but that doesn't mean you should neglect your work!" a feminine but manly voice snapped at him. Just from hoe fast he talked, Dio could tell that the owner of the voice was angry.
"..."
"Hurry up! Some of our customers are asking for you!"
Hearing the word 'Customers', Dio's brooding expression cringed.
"...I'm busy."
"Busy!? You're not busy, you're just being lazy! I told you to only do jobs you can do, what kind of high-schooler work 10 part-time jobs!? You're lucky our regulars like you, or else..." The owner of the voice threatened.
"Or else what?" Dio asked, feeling extremely arrogant now that he has superpowers.
"What did you say?" The caller's voice grew grave. He growled at the phone before shouting. "YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS HERE OR YOU'RE FIRED!"
Dio's mood dropped. He was just about to yell at his boss to shut up, but then, he suddenly thought of something.
'Wait, wait, wait! Dio, that's your boss. You can't snap at your boss.' Feeling his mood swings affecting his judgement, Dio decided to stop bitching about it. If he keeps holding back his emotions, then he wouldn't be able to function as a normie properly.
As the feeling of guilt slowly eats him on the inside, various emotions exploded on the outside. His face scrunched up, and his breathing became heavy. Flashes of images surfaced in his mind, watching the police officer bleeding to death without doing anything, risking Kaname's life just because he was excited over getting his powers
... Killing someone.... the feeling of a living beings skull breaking and his brainmatter scattering on his fingertips...
Dio's throat felt clogged. He gagged and puked on the ground. He felt relieved that he muted his cell phone or else his boss might've heard his crying and puking.
Now that he was done releasing all of the bottled up emotions, he felt like he just wanted to hide and kill himself. Earlier he was feeling like a god and everyone should bow to him, now... he felt like a mess...
In the end, he could only resort to manipulating his body and mind, even if it might turn him into a monster.
Taking a deep breath, he distanced his phone from his ears and whispered.
"The world."
[Serotin Induction 40%]
In the paused world, Dio fixed his features. From someone who looked like he couldn't be bothered to breathe, to a cool and arrogant gentleman. His emotions that were unstable gradually calmed down in a single second.
Taking a deep breath to gather his thoughts,"Huff... I'm sorry boss. I was just in a bad mood." He answered with a smile. Although he wanted to end the call, he couldn't, because this person was his boss. This wasn't an anime where he could just offend anyone who ticks him off. This man was the one who was paying for his living expenses. Without a job, he could only resort to stealing, but that's not gentlemanly like, as a cultured person, he knew what path he would end up in if he chose that direction.
"...Alright." Surprisingly, the man on the other end of the phone conceded. "Did something happen?"
"...Uhm, it's just that..." Remembering the events earlier, he sighed. "I'm... having some problems..."
"I understand."
Dio became surprised. He knew that his boss was usually an unyielding person, and was just worrying about him for taking on too many part-time jobs. He mentally praised himself for not blowing up earlier or their relationship would have been destroyed.
"But! You're going to work extra hard tomorrow, got that?"
A soft smile appeared on Dio's lips.
"Got it... boss."
"If you have problems, don't hesitate to call me."
"Okay."
"Anyways, take care of yourself. Sleep early and don't waste your time watching those cartoons."
"Are you worried about me, boss?"
The voice on the other end scoffed. "Worrying about you? Pah! If you weren't so handsome, then I wouldn't treat you so nicely!"
"...I'm sorry, boss. But I don't swing that way," Dio replied with a laugh. "Goodnight, boss."
"Good night Dio-chan~, I still think you should quit your other jobs though~." The owner of the concerned voice teased.
Ending the call, Dio sighed. He gazed at the moon absentmindedly.
"Maybe I should befriend girls too...? Nah, they won't like an otaku like me." He smiled dejectedly before walking towards his home. Like any other otaku, Dio is curious about girls, but since he was afraid of them finding out about his hobbies, he chose to distance himself away from them. "But still... my circle of friends sure is small. Now I'm regretting ditching Kaname back there." As if his mental break down was a lie, Dio returned to normal.
If another person were to witness what had happened, they might think that Dio was either a good actor, or he was just plain crazy. Crying and puking all of a sudden then returning to normal in the span of a second. No normal human was capable of such a feat.
...
Arriving at his small apartment, Dio headed straight for the bathroom. After washing his hands repeatedly, he stared blankly at the mirror. A man with blonde hair and golden eyes stared back.
"Who are you...?" He asked.
His face looked like it was him, but at the same time, it was not.
His hair looked longer and shinier. The previous wheat-like color was replaced by a golden-blonde.
His deep blue eyes that looked droopy became sharp and golden. Giving him a slightly condescending look.
His skin became paler as if he hasn't had enough sunlight in years.
And, most of all...
"Damn. I'm so handsome." Dio stated while touching his chin slowly.
His body was packed with muscles before, but now it looked chiseled. He kept touching his well-defined abs over and over again, wondering if it was even humanely possible to have god-like abs like his. His height increased from 5'9 to 6'2, making him look like an adult, towering over normal Japanese men.
Overall, he looked like a budget version of Dio.
Looking at the mirror, he felt something was missing. He propped his hand on his chin before nodding. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.
Sliding his fingers on his scalp, he brushed his hair back. With a bend of his waist, he loomed over the mirror. Parting his lips slightly, he revealed his fangs. By tilting his head backward, his features were covered in darkness.
Opening his eyes, a pair of golden orbs narrowed at him.
Goosebumps rose from his skin, staring at the man who was looming at him with a dark look. He took a double check and saw that it was his own reflection. For a moment he thought that Dio actually traveled dimensions and decided to kill him for taking his appearance.
"Ha...haha...."
With a single pose, he managed to make a god descend into the mortal realm.
"Holy shit... can I kill people with this?"
After doing poses after poses, he decided to stop before he became gay at himself. He was forced to use his [Serotin Induction 30%] to forcefully calm himself, even now when his emotions were calm, he could feel some sort of pride and narcissism building up inside him, threatening to come out in a burst of full-blown laughter.
Even though he stopped himself from doing sexy poses, he still couldn't stop himself from grinning madly at the thought of having Dio's face. 'Now, I won't be ashamed to call myself Dio. HehehehehahaHAHAHAHA!'
Since he has all the night to himself, Dio decided to test out his powers, but before that--
"Status."
[Status]
[Name: Diomichi Diovich]
[Age: 17]
[Status: Admin]
[CP: -10000]

White particles gathered behind his retina before they formed a group of words.
"Open, Group Chat."
[Group Chat]

"What? There are already members?"
[Invitations have been sent the moment Dimensional Group Chat became online.]
"Who are the members?"
[Would you like to use 'Administrator's Privelege'?]
"What is Administrator's Privilege?"
[Administrator's Priveledge]
-As an admin, you have the power to invite members (0/1) per world.
-As an admin, you have the power to know everything about the members.
-As an admin, you have the power to control the function 'Missions'.
-As an admin, you have the power to alter the SkyWorld.
[Would you like to use 'Administrator's Privelege'?]
Dio contemplated for a bit before shaking his head.
"No."
Although he was curious about who they are, he could always know them personally. It would be one thing to know about the names and other information, but knowing 'Everything' is too much. Who knows if these members are all crazy lunatics, wouldn't he get traumatized by then? [Serotin Induction] could only calm him down, not erase his memories...
Or could he?
Discarding his dangerous thoughts, he focused on the other functions.
"Open, Skyworld."
[SkyWorld]
-A personal separated dimension for the dimensional group chat members.
-Members could build their own lodgings in the SkyWorld

-SkyWorld is only accessible when on missions, or with a ticket.

-Stay away from the edge, except for members who can use 'Flight'.
-Exploring the SkyWorld has its own dangers.
Dio's face froze. "What? Personal... Dimension...?" Blinking his eyes repeatedly, he read it again to see if he was hallucinating.
"Op as fuck..."
Taking a deep breath, he decided to explore the SkyWorld later.
"Open, missions."
[Missions]
[Personal Missions]
[Group Missions]
"What is the difference between personal missions and group missions?"
[Personal missions are for personal missions, group missions are for group missions.]
Dio blinked. "Right..."
"Open, personal missions."

Reading his personal missions, Dio gulped. He suddenly felt that his powers were lacking.
"C-Can you open the mission... [Depths of Immortality]..."
[Depths of Immortality]
-A mysterious race of giant, man-eating humanoids, known as Titans, suddenly appeared and nearly exterminated humanity. In order to protect themselves from this threat, the few survivors built three concentric Walls, called Maria, Rose, and Sheena, and encased themselves in this limited territory, forgetting everything about the outside world and the history before the building of the Walls.
Objective:
(Drink Titan Blood 0/2,500,000 L)
(Gain a deeper understanding of Titan physiology)
(Unveil the secrets of the power of Titans)
(Take the Founding Titan)

(Do not drink Titan Spinal Fluid)
"That sounds easy. Can you give me more information on Titans?"
[Titans are immortal creatures. Ranging from 2 - 15 m, Titans drew their primary source of energy from the sun, as they became inactive when deprived of sunlight.]
Dio gulped nervously. "O-Okay, so basically, Titan's are peaceful giants that roam the land in the morning?" He concluded, ignoring the 'man-eating' and 'immortal' part.
[They also, for some reason, like to eat humans.]
"Fuck."

Extra Information:
Chapters might get shorter because I'm getting bored to bother editing them.
Diomichi Diovich will not know anything about missions(Except when the plot allows it.)
The members all have a few screws loose in their heads, including the [Villainess with a harem]. The aura of a harem protagonist is deadly, even for the main character of this fanfic.
I considered their worlds and personalities when choosing the members.
(Drop characters with interesting personalities.)
(Drop worlds that could be used, with interesting plots.)
