One Year Later
I'm heading to the kids' room. Right now, they're as smart and physically strong as 3-year-olds. Well, more like, if a 3-year-old could flawlessly wield a 2-meter sword.
They've got my genes, but there's no dragon factor in them. Alaya wouldn't allow it; they'd lose their humanity otherwise.
Gareth is tugging at the hem of my clothes. Morgan's done a lot to raise them. Well, I'm 16, so that's progress too.
Then Gareth says, "Dady." Oh my God, my heart can't handle this. This much cuteness is going to kill me. Then Gareth points at Agravain. That kid, even as a baby, is pretty tough.
Exactly as expected from my giga chad son.
Gareth goes "tah tah," as if trying to tell me what Agravain did to her.
There are tears in Gareth's eyes. Got it—Agravain must've attacked her. Just as you'd expect from a real woman-hater, my son.
I toss Gareth up and catch him again. Once the tears on his face are gone, I set him down. I go to Agravain. This kid is something else. Morgan once called him a little monster.
He made Morgan cry, so I gave Agravain a good lesson, of course, with a spanking.
Then, while Agravain's playing, I kneel down and look at him: "Son, why did you hit your little sister?"
Agravain shows me the toy in his hand: "Dady, dady, she wants to take it from me. The woman is bad, not trust."
This kid was born to be a woman-hater. I pull his tongue with my hand: "No more bad words, okay, Agravain? Or Daddy will get mad and won't let you ride the dragon, got it?"
All the babies understand me; their only problem is that they can't respond. Agravain was about to cry, so I played with him a bit, too.
Gawain and Gaheris are over there playing with each other (more like wrestling, to be exact).
No harm in an innocent game, right? Gawain sees me and starts walking toward me, then kicks my leg and says in his sweet voice: "Bad guy, bad guy, fight!!"
I pretend it hurts. Agravain grabs my right leg, Gawain grabs the left.
I act like I'm struggling and let myself fall to the ground. Then Gaheris grabs my left arm, Gareth my right, and they shout: "Mom, bad guy, Dady, beat him!"
Oh, kids, if only you knew. I pretend I'm trying to escape. Morgan's watching us from the side the whole time. She climbs on top of me, pretending to hit me.
I play dead, closing my eyes. Morgan plays along: "Kids, something's happened to your dad, he's hurt!"
The kids are all on the verge of tears, about to cry. Then Gareth makes the first move and kisses my cheek. The others follow, Gawain being the last.
Then I pretend to come back to life, breathing exaggeratedly.
Morgan jumps in again. This year, we've gotten so close. Wherever I am, she's with me.
After her pregnancy, she came up with weird ideas in bed. She wanted me to call her "Momy" and breastfeed me.
Well, as an honorable man, I accepted. cough cough
My training with Scathach has reached a pretty high level now. She said I've surpassed Chu Chulain and gave me Gae Bolg. That woman must have an infinite supply of spears or something.
By the way, I've gotten pretty good at using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
I'm slowly unlocking all my abilities. Since my dragon bloodline is at the young dragon level, my brain works insanely fast.
If I had to assign a stat to my physical strength, it'd be A-, around 60-70 tons, no problem. Speed? I don't know exactly, but it's gotta be pretty high since I can move super fast with Shunpo.
As for magic, being a dragon means every time I use mana, my heart produces more. So, mana's never an issue for me.
I've gotten used to Ryujin Jakka, but I'm nowhere near Yamamoto's level. That guy's a monster. The more I train, the more I realize it. But I can use Bankai Zanka no Tachi.
My reiatsu is probably at pre-Hogyoku Aizen's level now. Even back then, Aizen couldn't surpass Yamamoto's reiatsu capacity.
As for other matters, King Uther passed away. The Saxons have stopped their attacks. I'm sure Vortigern thinks Camelot is practically in his hands, but with Merlin protecting it, it'll stay safe at least until the prophecy comes true.
Most likely, Sir Ector is giving lessons to Artoria at his house.
I'll visit that girl one day and teach her a few things.
Morgan kept looking after the kids. I left the room because there was a blue screen in front of me. This system wasn't mine, but it was an invitation.
[Multiverse Chat Group Invitation]
[Yes][Yes]
Those bastards didn't even give me a choice. I try to ignore it, but the screen feels like it's mocking me.
[No response given, automatic selection: Yes]
[Welcome to the Multiverse Chat Group, @ShiningDragonOfTheSun]
[Kazuma: Welcome, this newbie's got a cool nickname.]
[KingOfHeroes: A new hybrid joins us. Hopefully not a jerk like Kazuma.]
[Killua: +1]
[Kazuma: Guys, I'm not that bad.]
[Killua: You're right, you're worse.]
[KingOfHeroes: +9999]
It's obvious who these guys are, but is this all the people here?
I poke around the system and see one more member: Control Devil.
There's a place to change names in the system, so I type mine.
[Notification: ShiningDragonOfTheSun changed their name to King Lott.]
[Kazuma: King Lott? Doesn't ring a bell.]
[Killua: For once, you're right.]
[KingOfHeroes: Who dares call themselves a king while I'm here? Know your place, mongrel.]
[King Lott: Hello, everyone, nice to meet you.]
[Killua: Oh, he finally spoke. Another king like Gilgamesh.]
[Control Devil: Lott, do you have kids?]
[Kazuma: Hey, don't jump straight to that. Why does it matter?]
[Control Devil: For verification. Maybe he's like Gilgamesh. ]
[King Lott: I have four kids: Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth.]
[Killua: Oh, we've got an old man among us.]
[King Lott: Who're you calling old, brat? I'm 16.]
[Control Devil: Got it. Guys, he's a king from the King Arthur legend. Details about him are pretty limited.]
[Kazuma: Oh, that's why he seemed familiar. Mythology's not my strong suit.]
[Killua: Yeah, you're right, NEET. But King Lott, I don't trust you. Can you post a picture?]
[King Lott: Sure, but only if you guys post first and those who haven't changed their nicknames do so.]
My eyes twitch. Killua's pretty bold. I need to teach that brat a lesson. Then, those who hadn't changed their nicknames do. KingOfHeroes shows up as Gilgamesh, and Control Devil changes to Makima.
[Gilgamesh: (photo)]
[Killua: (photo)]
[Makima: (photo)]
[Kazuma: (photo)]
[Killua: Your turn, old man.]
As I look at the photos, my eyes widen because this woman is Gilgamesh.
Then, as promised, I take my own photo.
[King Lott: (photo)]
[Killua: What? You're a dad of four? Your skin looks like mine.]
[Makima: Yeah, he looks better than a model.]
[Gilgamesh: Hm, not bad for a mongrel.]
Damn it, stop calling me a hybrid.
[King Lott: Thanks, everyone, but Gilgamesh, you're the real hybrid, you god-human mongrel.]
[Gilgamesh: How dare you!]
[Kazuma: Gilgamesh, you sound like a young master.]
[King Lott: +1]
Then they explain to me that this chat group can communicate across different universes. Right now, it has chat, live streaming, photo sharing, and gift-sending functions.
[Gilgamesh: Hybrid, pray you never cross paths with me.]
[King Lott: Kazuma, can I ask you a few questions?]
[Kazuma: Go ahead.]
[King Lott: People don't die…]
[Kazuma: When they die.]
[King Lott: One Piece…]
[Kazuma: is REAL.]
[Killua: What's going on here? Have they lost their minds?]
[Gilgamesh: Don't ignore me, foolish king.]
[Makima: This is beyond me.]
[King Lott: Brother.]
[Kazuma: Brother.]
[Killua: Feels like we're witnessing a historic moment.]
[Gilgamesh: I'm done with these guys.]
[Gilgamesh has logged off.]
[Makima: Same here.]
Kazuma knows the Fate anime, and it exists in his universe. That's pretty cool. Other manga probably exist, too.
[King Lott: So, Killua Zoldyck, how's business going?]
Hunter x Hunter Universe
Killua was chatting with the group while heading to the Hunter Exam. But when King Lott sent that last message, he looked around. He was always on guard, but this freaked him out.
[Killua: How do you know me?]
[Kazuma: King Lott, you shouldn't know about anime and manga. You're in the Middle Ages. I looked you up online.]
[King Lott: Just don't ask. You'll regret it. But I know some of you.]
Killua was still on the bus. He got off to head to the Hunter Exam and set off.
[Kazuma: I get it…]
While looking at the screen, Killua's eyes burned with anger. If Kazuma were there, he'd probably be dead a thousand times over. Then he closed his screen.
Fate Universe, King Lott
Killua's gone. I told Kazuma to let everyone know I'll be doing a live stream tomorrow.
Honestly, this chat group is pretty interesting. I have a feeling it'll give us missions, and those missions will probably be really tough.
(Friends, these are the group members for now. More will join over time, and some might leave.)
