14 Chapter 14: Chat Room, First Members

The next morning, Yuki felt a slight headache.

Opening his eyes slowly, he held his head with one hand.

"Ah!... A champion, huh?" Letting out a faint sigh, Yuki looked at the screen floating in front of him.

[Welcome to the Multiverse Chat Room]

[Do you want to read the user manual?]

[Yes] [No]

Mentally clicking on [Yes], Yuki decided he needed to understand this chat room first.

[Thank you for accessing your guide]

[The functions of this Multiverse chat room are as follows:

1: The Champion and heroes can travel to different worlds.

2: Heroes can only travel to different worlds with the Champion's approval.

3: Members' world stops when traveling to different worlds.

4: The members' body age stops each time they travel to different worlds.

5: Chat room members can send artifacts or non-living materials to other members.

6: All members recognized by the Champion will receive the blessing of the goddess Hestia.

7: Members will receive level updates with each world they save.

Note: Unity is strength; only a united group can triumph.]

Yuki relaxed after reading the instructions. It would be troublesome if he disappeared from Konoha, and it would also be problematic if his body aged disproportionately to this world's age.

[Do you want to invite new members?]

[Yes] [No]

Yuki wished it were all a dream. He knew that saving a world is very dangerous, and he's not a fool to recklessly dive in without a plan.

"First, I need to get to know the members."

Although his problems increased, he knew that living without problems is living a boring life. Humans need problems to live; they need stimuli to feel alive.

Mentally clicking on [Yes], a small wheel appeared on the screen.

[Loading....]

[10%...40%...60%...100%]

[Guilty Crown has joined the group]

[Golden Darkness has joined the group]

[Biri-biri has joined the group]

[Lovesick has joined the group]

There was an awkward silence. Yuki was left speechless seeing the names of the heroes.

(Well, even if they're strange, we need to introduce ourselves)

However, before introducing themselves, someone else wrote.

"Biri-Biri: Is this a joke? Are you really going to help me, Champion!"

"Biri-Biri: Hey! How dare you call me Biri-Biri?!... Answer, Champion!"

In a city in Japan, a girl with electricity running through her body, beautiful with short brown hair, a clip on the right side of her head, and eyes the same color as her hair, was in her room looking at the blue screen floating in front of her.

Misaka had a dark complexion, and her appearance and vigor were very different from her usual self.

Her stress level was high. Misaka looked at the holographic screen; a week ago, the floating screen had appeared.

[The world has seen your troubles; the Champion has decided to help you. Come, join this chat room; the Champion will help you with your problems.]

At first, she thought it was an Esper playing a prank, but after thinking, no Esper could penetrate her electric barrier. It appeared every day, and no matter what she did, it didn't disappear. It was as if it was forcing her to join. However, that wasn't why she took this chat room seriously.

The chat room appeared before her problems began. Because of that, she looked at this chat room again, as a hope.

"The Champion... he must know something."

With that thought, she joined the chat room.

"He must be able to help me with the sisters."

"Lovesick: Champion? My friend, you promised to be my friend! I hope you're not lying to me!"

In the midst of darkness, a girl with pink hair tied in double ponytails looked at the holographic screen in the air.

She was locked in a steel cage, looking at the floating screen with deep longing.

A few minutes ago, this screen had appeared before her.

[The World knows your pain; the Champion wants to be your friend. Come, join this chat room.]

She really didn't understand how a screen could float before her, but regardless, she pressed [Yes] without hesitation.

"A friend? Hehe, Champion, will you be my friend?"

With a dangerous gleam in her eyes, she looked at the screen in front of her. Multiple emotions passed through her head as she smiled sweetly, as if she could see the person she wanted to be her friend.

---

"Golden Darkness: Who is the target? Champion, whom should I assassinate?"

On an unknown planet, a girl sat atop a tree, a short and incredibly beautiful girl with golden hair and red eyes, her long hair reaching her knees, dressed in a black gothic outfit.

A screen appeared before her. Thinking it was an enemy attack, she created a massive fist with her ability and attacked the floating screen, but her attacks were ineffective.

As if responding to her attack, the screen ejected a fish-shaped cake. At first, she paid no attention, thinking it was another high-tech gadget.

But the screen kept ejecting these cakes, and due to the smell, she couldn't resist putting them in her mouth.

Her little red eyes turned into stars; she had never eaten such a delicacy before.

Since then, she spent a whole week hitting the floating screen, the one that ejected the fish-shaped cake.

But one day, the screen stopped ejecting cakes. No matter how much Yami hit it, no more cakes came out.

Disappointed, she looked at the screen that displayed a message.

[The world knows you; the Champion wants to hire you. If you want more Taiyaki, come join this chat room.]

Without hesitation, she clicked [Yes].

---

"Guilty Crown:...."

On top of a building, there was a slim and very beautiful girl with pink hair and red eyes, wearing a jet-black dress.

She stared at the floating screen in front of her; there was a message on that screen that she couldn't ignore.

[The world knows who you are; the Champion wants to help you. Come, join the chat room and discover who you are.]

She looked at the screen in front of her for a few minutes before pressing [Yes].

She didn't know why, but she felt that a part of her wanted to scream for help, and this screen in front of her gave her a sense of security.

Yuki looked at the various messages in the chat room; his thoughts wandered as he saw their conversations.

"A girl with a bad temper asking for help, an emotionally unstable girl, an assassin, and the last one..."

Yuki slowly analyzed their messages; each of them was unique in their own way, but if they were in this chat room, it must mean they are legitimate Heroes.

Yuki doesn't know how the chat room managed to invite them, but based on their messages, the chat room promised several things using his name.

"This is troublesome... but I like it."

Smiling faintly, Yuki decided on his next goal.

"If they are all women, it will be easier than I thought."

With that in mind, he decided to write a message.

Time Emperor (Champion): Welcome to this chat room.... Shall we introduce ourselves? My name is Yuki Uchiha
