The Mightiest Hero of Black ~My Party Members Betrayed Me so I'll Stick With The Strongest Monster~ - Chapter 78: Confrontation

In the myriad realms, legends rise and fall in the countless eras.

In 2120, a massive gateway that connects Earth with the Otherworld replaced the Aels boulder in central Australia. The Earth, representative of science, and the Otherworld, representative of magic, subsequently made contact and two wars broke out. Both wars inflicted enormous damage on both sides, eventually leading them to choose peace negotiations, and thereby marking a thirty-year era of peaceful exchanges between Earth and the Otherworld.Even though both sides chose to coexist peacefully, they each coveted the other's benefits. With the impending arrival of the third inter-world war, Earth's Otherworld combat General Staff Headquarters decided to secretly dispatch an advance team to the Otherworld to conduct pre-war reconnaissance.As a hybrid of Earthlings and Otherworld elves, Luoer, after secretly studying and training for over twenty years in Haiya Academy, which specializes in cultivating hybrids of Earthlings and Otherworld inhabitants, will soon lead his squad into an exciting adventure in the unknown Otherworld.Swords and magic? No, this is a world of guns and magic!

“I’m alive... again?”Adam died and was brought into a fantasy world. Then he died again, and has been reborn into a new (?) fantasy world. His life, as before, is in the hands of the dice. Come and join Adam as he rolls his way in and out of trouble. The story has a very slow pace, and has elements of really light hearted, wholesome stuff, and really dark, gruesome stuff. Sequel/Reboot of Beyond Average. You don't need to read Beyond Average, but it will explain a lot about Adam.Also, you can start at the beginning of each year (301, 501, 701, 901, 1001, etc), because most of the systems and relationships will be partly explained when they come up, and most others are easy to pick up after a few interactions. Finally, I am also currently in the middle of editing and rewriting the first year, and perhaps other years. A lot of my early chapters are a rough read, and even I cringe reading them.

Meet Gu Yu—a college dropout and a talented incense maker, and at the same time, the rather stoic protagonist of this story. Despite his somewhat introverted manner, he has a tendency to make sarcastic remarks in his thoughts. One day, after saving a squirrel, a windfall (metaphorically and literally) dropped into his lap. Stumbling into the cultivation world with little help, he was not turned into Superman overnight (as he would like). Apparently, becoming a cultivator would not make your life easier, at least in the beginning.

Somewhere along the road, he ran into Jiang Xiaozhai, a young woman who’s got the brains, the beauty, and maybe one or two secrets of her own. As it turned out, the two made a perfect team—Mulder-and-Scully style. Motivated by many unanswered questions, they had been running up and down the country, getting into all kinds of trouble, and learning more of the modern cultivation world, which is by no means the same as in the ages long past…
