《Ancient Cultivator in Modern World》Chapter 91: Otaku Culture
Advertisement
Because of Lily's affliction, the duo stayed at home as Lily recuperated, feeling bored, Khan sat on the couch, tapping on his smartphone, he opened the browser and searched the search engine for any relevant information about the Continent of Wrath.
"Wait... What?" He flipped over his back and stared at the information displayed on the screen. According to the website, the Continent of Wrath located near the northern pole of the planet was at least a hundred million kilometers away from the Continent of Greed.
Even though the advancement of modern technology enabled humans in traveling at unprecedented speeds, it would still take him a month to arrive at the Continent of Wrath. However, you cannot simply travel towards it, since the Continent of Wrath was a highly modernized area, they have devices that can easily shoot down any aircraft or seacraft that dared to trespass their continent.
Much worse, they completely deny foreigners of an entrance and the only way to enter the Continent was to acquire a Recommendation Pass from the Presiding Emperor of their neighbor Continent, the Continent of Lust.
Khan inwardly thought, 'Although I could just enter through Spatial Tunneling, who knows, what kind of devices do they have...' In these past months that he lived inside the Continent of Greed and along with the information that he received from the Divine Pills Sect's Great Library, Khan knew that the humans have managed in creating a weapon of mass destruction known as nuclear bombs.
And after he watched a video about how strong it was, Khan didn't feel much confidence in fighting those guys armed with such weapons, especially the high-powered laser guns that the military uses.
'So the only way that I can enter it is through the Continent of Lust...' Khan inwardly thought, 'Are they perhaps, still continuing in those ways, back in the days...?' He pondered as he thought about the information that he had about the Continent of Lust.

As its name indicated, the Continent of Lust was full of creatures whose aim was to procreate, fortunately, the fertility rate of those races wasn't as high as humans, or else, they would've reigned over the world already.
Nonetheless, humanity still lived there, and they adopted a strict system that constricts the spreading of their bloodlines, known as the Stud System. Remembering the system, Khan revealed a strange smile for that system was the reason why he met his fourth wife. Nevertheless, everything was already in the past, and maybe, things would've changed, especially when a hundred thousand years have passed by.
Khan felt bored as he sat on the couch, his eyes landed on Lily who slept on the couch on the other side before darting at Twenty-One who stared at the television with shining eyes. Sighing, he stood up and walked towards the entrance, heading for the direction of one of the busiest district of Muspelheim.
Arriving at the Poblacion District, Khan saw myriads of people walking around towards their specific destination. Although their movements were filled with impatience, they still followed the rules around the street and abided by it as crossed the street.
Numerous skyscrapers of different sizes scattered around him, Khan revealed a slight smile as he murmured, 'It seems like I really didn't see much of the modern world by myself...' His gaze darted around, especially at the billboard where several animated girls could be seen, wearing a bikini as they waved towards the walking by passers.
Khan deduced that it was the so-called Anime that the members of his small group back at the University of Modern Magic talked about, and although he didn't really have that much attachment to it, he could see why people liked it.
Particularly hearing the heartfelt words that they would say towards their followers. Even though they were not real, their actions and words were still impactful enough to leave a mark inside the hearts of their fans.

Khan scoured around until he finally found the Virtual Idol that his small group liked, wearing a short pink skirt, a dress that stretched until her belly-button and two cat ears on the side of her head, she turned around, stuck her tongue out as she said, "Nyan, nyan!"
"Nyan, Nyan!"
A booming echo formed from the voices of the crowd that shouted, Khan was astonished to find that a huge crowd had formed before the transparent screen, holding a glowing stick in both of their hands, they waved it around, sung along with Miku-Chan and danced to the beat.
Khan's eyes flashed in a strange light, for the song that Miku-Chan sang was the song that the bastards back at the University of Modern Magic insisted on engraving within his mind. And fortunately, they succeeded, as Khan subconsciously sang the joyful song along with the virtual idol.
Even though he didn't understand the words that she sang, he still sang along with the Virtual Idol as she strode towards the direction of the billboard.
"姫姫姫好き好き大好き姫姫。。。キラキラうん。。。”
"君とみんないれば私って絶対無敵。。。”
Arriving there, the festivity of the people around him increased his energy as he stood there, waving his hands in the air, like a true otaku fan. If the members of that small group were in here, they would surely be shocked to see a newly indoctrinated member easily assimilating the life of a true otaku.
"Hey, isn't that Khan?"
"Yeah, that definitely is him, it looks like he's doing good as an otaku..."
Two hushed voices which didn't escape Khan's perception entered his ears, Khan turned around and found the figure of Steven and Bjorn and when their gazes met, the two revealed a slight smile, as if welcoming a hero's return.
'Fuck, why do I feel like wanting to punch these guys...' Khan inwardly cursed and stared at the two that already approached his vicinity.
Steven stretched his right hand and clamped it around Khan's neck while Bjorn nudged him with his elbow as he said, "Damn, you really bamboozled us, to think that you were so resistant of the world of otakus, just two days ago and yet, now, you even skipped class just to listen to Miku-Chan's concert!"
Khan revealed a wry smile, 'Damn it, I actually forgot that these guys were Miku-Chan's hardcore fan!' He thought to himself as he struggled his way out of Steven's hold and when he succeeded, Steven revealed a slight smile and raised his right thumb up.
Khan almost coughed a mouthful of blood, 'I only came here to listen to the song! Look, I'm really not an otaku!'
But he knew that no matter what since these guys already saw him singing to the beat at one of Miku-Chan's song, they would surely think that he's just a closet Otaku.
Since convincing them was futile, Khan just stood there, enjoying the concert along with them.
As he bobbed his head up and down, he thought of an incredulous idea, 'How about I spread the Otaku Culture at the Continent of Lust? If I succeed, the Continent of Lust will surely become the largest otaku hub!' He chuckled at this thought of a brilliant business venture.

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.
