I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [248]

----- [Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)] has entered the chat group -----

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: Today I spent one point to buy an insanely delicious assorted fruit canned set—enough for a whole year. It’s so tasty I could cry.

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: Not just that, I also spent one point for a hundred jin of chocolate. I can eat nearly a jin a day—this is bliss.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: ...I hate to say it, but unexpectedly, Yuri, you might be the most tragic one among all of us post-apocalyptic humans.

[Canned Food Reigns Supreme! (Yuuri)]: Really? Heh, I don’t really feel that way. These days I eat canned food, sing songs, ride my beloved little scooter with Chito, and head up toward the surface. I couldn’t be happier.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: Maybe it’s that optimism of yours that makes your world seem less suffocating. But if it were me, just hearing that makes me feel like I’m going to explode from the pressure.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: An empty city, a world where even animals and plants have disappeared. Living off worn-out weapons and military rations found in the ruins, not even knowing what your next meal will be. The only hope is a top-floor city that may or may not even exist.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: The more I think about it, the more hopeless it feels. Aaaahhh! So frustrating.

[One Hundred Thousand Is Enough (Reimu Hakurei)]: Hahaha~~! Kisara-chan, don’t stress. Mister Zhongli already gave them a way out and some insurance. They’re not in real danger. Let them go off and have their adventure. Besides, Kisara-chan, you also got survival rights personally guaranteed by True Lord—that’s a big deal worth two thousand points.

[One Hundred Thousand Is Enough (Reimu Hakurei)]: @Avenger, you should be properly thanking Mister Zhongli!

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: Of course I know that. But speaking of which, Reimu, aren’t you only 14? You’re younger than me by a few years—why are you calling me “Kisara-chan”? Shouldn’t I be calling you “Little Reimu”?

[One Hundred Thousand Is Enough (Reimu Hakurei)]: Ahem~~! The chat group’s hierarchy isn’t based on age. It’s based on strength and when you joined. Kisara-chan, you’re weaker than me and joined later. So of course I can call you Kisara-chan.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: We’ve never fought! What makes you think I’d lose to you?

[One Hundred Thousand Is Enough (Reimu Hakurei)]: Ahem~~! Let me share a little secret. The points from the first sign-in are based on a person’s power level. A regular human with no special powers gets five points. When I first signed in, I got 18,000. You said you got, what, 700? Right?

[One Hundred Thousand Is Enough (Reimu Hakurei)]: A 700-point scrub like you? I could wipe the floor with ten of you. If you don’t believe me, invite me to your world. I’ll show you if I can flatten you or not.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: ?? Little Reimu? Are you trying to trick me into using a task card so you can earn five hundred points from the mission fee?

[I am Natsuki Subaru]: Gotta say, Reimu, today you’re being a bit underhanded.

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: I got about six thousand points on my first sign-in—is that considered a lot?

[I am Natsuki Subaru]: Whoa, I didn’t realize you were that strong, Miss Chtholly! Six thousand points? That’s almost on par with Mr.Puri's score. Are you secretly some hidden powerhouse?

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: Eh~~!!?? I’m strong? No, I should be weak. Us fairies can’t control the “Mana” inside our bodies. Even when wielding holy swords made by the ancient humans, we can’t fully control them.

[I am Natsuki Subaru]: Huh? Can’t control mana? That’s a thing? So what exactly is the supernatural power in your world, Miss Chtholly?

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: It’s called “Mana.” Whether it’s the ancient humans or the current races, we all use the power of Mana.

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: We bring the fire called Mana into the inner side of our hearts, burn it hot, and channel it outward. But that heat puts a burden on the user’s body. If you want high levels of energy, your life force gets suppressed. This directly limits how much Mana each race can use. So if a twisted being that doesn’t care about survival shows up, it could unleash power other races can’t imitate.

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: We golden fairies are a species born from the lost souls of children who died before they even understood death. Technically, we’re “not alive.” And because we don’t fear death, we can use Mana beyond any limit.

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: Our greatest power is called the “Gate of Fairyland.” We release all the Mana in our bodies, which instantly goes out of control and explodes. That explosion obliterates both the user and the enemy. All that remains is a giant crater and, at the center, a holy sword.

[One Hundred Thousand Is Enough (Reimu Hakurei)]: Ah~~! Ah~~! Ah~~! Stop! Stop! I’m not listening, not listening, la-la-la!

[I am Natsuki Subaru]: Chtholly, you seemed like the most normal new member in the chat group, but your brain’s clearly a little messed up too.

[One Heart’s Aspiration (Bell Cranel)]: Ahh~! Miss Chtholly, don’t just go around talking about blowing yourself up! If the enemy dies but you die too, what’s the point?

[Little Puri (Puri Puri Prisoner)]: Chtholly-girl, you really are from a post-apocalyptic world, huh. So brutal. How can you talk about self-destruction so calmly? Is that the only way to fight your enemies?

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: Maybe. At least that’s what the warehouse managers and instructors told us. That’s what the Winged Guard says too. Reality is, only golden fairies can wield holy swords that hurt the “Beasts.” Other races can’t.

[Golden Fairy (Chtholly)]: And honestly, I don’t really feel anything about dying. Even if I self-destruct in battle, as long as the young golden fairies in the warehouse can live safely under my protection, I don’t mind. After all, I’m not afraid of my own death.

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: A world that demands such sacrifice… Damn it all!

[Avenger (Tendo Kisara)]: Just like the Gastrea in my world. They regenerate at terrifying speeds. Unless we have special metal called “Varanium” or the Cursed Children who are already infected, we can’t even harm high-level Gastrea.

[The Path Ahead (Accelerator)]: Every normal world has its own brand of happiness. But apocalyptic worlds all share the same misery. Life, hope, despair beyond resistance—all of it mashed together into a single image of the end. If Kamijou were in such a world, he’d probably pour his soul into trying to save everyone. Heh… Hahaha… Hahahaha~~!

[The Path Ahead (Accelerator)]: @Avenger @Golden Fairy — if you ever need help, just use a task card. You don’t need extra points. I’ll come help. I want to see how strong your so-called “Beasts” and “Gastrea” really are.

[I am Natsuki Subaru]: Accelerator’s been a lot more chill lately. He’s not calling himself a villain anymore.

[The Path Ahead (Accelerator)]: I’ve just come to understand what I should be doing. You, NEET trash—you’ve changed too. You’re nothing like the loser NEET you used to be.

[I am Natsuki Subaru]: Hahaha~~! Really? I guess it’s thanks to Emilia changing me. Without her, I don’t know what I’d have become.

[The Path Ahead (Accelerator)]: Hmph.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Young Subaru, you don’t need to belittle yourself. You hold infinite potential. Despite the malice around you, you made it this far—not just because of others’ help, but because of your own will and effort. That is the true key to success.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: And Accelerator… it seems you’ve found your path as well. Labeling yourself a villain isn’t the answer. Facing the past and future with honesty—that is what a true hero does. In my eyes, you already are one. That girl, “Last Order,” must see you as her greatest hero.

[The Path Ahead (Accelerator)]: Hmph~!

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: @Kumoko, Miss Kumoko, are you there?

[Kumoko (???)]: I’m here, I’m here! I’ve always been here~! What can I do for you, great Mister Zhongli?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: I’d like to ask you about the “skills” of your world. I remember you said you met someone who might be a god?

[Kumoko (???)]: Oh, that guy! Super handsome—I still remember him. He was wearing jet-black armor. Right after I killed a fire dragon, he just popped out of a portal in front of me. I was so freaked out I nearly smashed my head into the ground.

[Kumoko (???)]: Luckily, a smartphone from upper admin D dropped right in front of us, and familiar Japanese came out of it.

[Kumoko (???)]: After some clever negotiations (and help from D), the armored guy—probably a dragon-type god—just suddenly vanished. D said some riddles through the phone and then teleported away too. After that, I went back to my peaceful middle-layer dungeon life. Yay, what a relief.

[Kumoko (???)]: So that’s the full story of my meeting with D and the possible god-person. Was it helpful, Mister Zhongli?

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Thank you, Miss Kumoko. Yes, it was quite helpful. Could you also describe your skills? What does it feel like when you activate them? What about when your skills or your body levels up?

[Kumoko (???)]: Oh, that’s a good question. Lemme think...

[Kumoko (???)]: Where should I start?

[Kumoko (???)]: I usually gain skills by doing stuff. Like, I ate some weird bugs, got half-corroded by their blood, and earned “Corrosion Resistance LV1.” Or, I killed a dragon and got the title “Dragon Slayer.” Passive skills instantly boost my stats, no weird side effects. It’s all super natural—feels like breathing.

[Kumoko (???)]: Also, you can buy skills with points. I bought some strong ones, including my Demon Lord skill. Once you meet the right conditions, titles and skills show up as options.

[Kumoko (???)]: As for leveling up my body... it’s hard to describe. Kind of like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Sudden, but strangely easy to accept. My instincts just adjust, like yep, this is my new body, let’s go.

[Kumoko (???)]: Magic and detection skills are trickier though. You need stuff like mana perception and manipulation—kinda exhausting.

[Kumoko (???)]: That’s most of it! Hope it was helpful, Mister Zhongli.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: ......

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Yes, very helpful. Your description piqued my interest even more. Rationally speaking, your system must have a complex core—it aligns with some of my ideas.

[Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli)]: Miss Kumoko, do you have the points to open a task card? I’d like to visit your world.

[Kumoko (???)]: Huh???
