《Airi in a Thousand Worlds》Mystery and Enigma (21)
Advertisement
Enigma woke up from the tranquiliser.
He looked around the cabin, only to see that everybody else were still knocked out. It seemed that those who had woken up before him had probably sedated themselves with another dose of the tranquilisers.
They were in zero gravity, so the moment he took off his safety belts, Enigma floated in the air. He hurriedly reached for something to grab. He was rather unfamiliar with the condition so his movements were awkward and uncoordinated.
Enigma latched himself on the bars installed above the windows, heaving a breath of relief.
He looked around. The place was quiet save for the slight hum of the spaceship. Even the flight attendants were unconscious in their own cabin pods.
For a moment, he stayed still, taking in the view.
His stomach grumbled.
Enigma returned to his seat, rummaging for his rations.
Though he could have called for a flight attendant to get him some solid food, he did not feel like interacting with other people.
As soon as he finished the chicken-flavoured nutrient packet, he sat down and fumbled around with Mystery’s bracelet.
Ever since he had received it, he often found himself looking through its every files and functions. Though he had not found anything unusual, it was somewhat calming to do it.
For the nth time, he played Mystery’s video.
He closed his eyes, trying to remember what Mystery had told him.
That story, it was about you. Although I simplified and sugar-coated it quite a lot, it will one day come true.
The story…
What was it… he had to remember it…
Remember…
Enigma opened his eyes in a snap.
As if something clicked in his mind, he began to ponder deeply. He thought back to the story Mystery had told him that night.
“He saved them, of course. He made eee~veryone as special as he was.”

“Huh?” Enigma tilted his head again, confused. “How can he make others become special?”
“Because he had the gift of sharing~” Mystery laughed, dishing out the anticlimactic ending. “He shared his kindness with everyone, so everyone became as kind and as special as he was.”
The gift of sharing…
Was that his true power? The ability to make everyone a superhuman?
…Was that it?
He stared at his palms. He had never tested if he could do that. As far as he knew, his power was just telekinesis.
Perhaps… it was because Mystery had not taught him anything else other than moving things with his mind that he never bothered to find out if he could do more.
His fingers twitched.
“Should I… test it?” He muttered. “But how…?”
“He shared his kindness with everyone, so everyone became as kind and as special as he was.”
“Maybe…” Enigma’s eyes carried a certain light as he looked around.
He closed his eyes, concentrating.
“To move something, you must know where they are first, then order them,” Mystery had once said during one of their lessons. Her words did not make much sense and he struggled a lot while practicing, but after a few tries he was able to levitate a few things.
In the same way, he visualised the layout of the place.
However, something surprising suddenly happened.
As if following his command, many multicoloured dim lights popped out on his visual map.
His eyes opened in surprise and he looked around.
The dim lights were in the exact same position as everyone around him!
Unknowingly, he had discovered something new; a radar.
“What kind of development is this…” He muttered in amazement.
He closed his eyes and continued to explore his new ability.
“Ugh!” An aching pain suddenly invaded his head.
At first, it was barely noticeable, but the longer he used his new ability, the more intense the pain became.
Worse of all, even after opening his eyes, he seemed to be unable to stop seeing the radar, and without any idea what was happening, he passed out.

The Court of Souls?
What do we talk about tonight?~“How about a story?”~Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one.~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~Was it strong then?~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it?~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~So he became a hero and changed the world?~»…”~Tell me.~“Nooo, that’s not how the story goes. This isn’t a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was… kinder than the rest.”~A kind demon? How boring.~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~So tell the story!

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer
To be taken to another world; isn't that the kind of thing that nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their savvy knowledge of how things usually go in that situation to take advantage, and lead a life where they are the center and in control of their destiny.But in the stories, the one who is brought ends up with a grand power to help them through. Here, a man is brought to a foreign world as his new character in the VRMRPG, Underworld of Armok, at Level 1. In safety there are few benefits, only by taking risks far beyond his level could one proceed. Transported to another world, he wishes to do good and be a hero. Accumulating power to help the less fortunate. There's just one caveat; he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.Quick DescriptionAnother video game/isekai novel. Unfortunately, the MC has crossed over during character creation of a Necromancer and is Level 1. He also lacks the ever so helpful status window.Fair warning, the Friendly Villager Necromancer arc(1) is slow. He does not want to run out into the dangerous world to get killed right after arriving. Sucks to be Level 1, eh? Git gud scrub. It's basically a Slice of Life from his perspective. The Thread, in case you get a bit confused about people/places. [16+] Now probably! For strong language and violence! And anthropophagy and lewd intimations! And stupid jokes and obscure references! And philosophical ditherings and a slow pace! Make peace with the absurd, and come to terms with the terrible!

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things
