I, Rick, the strongest human

Inexplicably, Rick's mood suddenly calmed down.

"Tell me, your identity. Also, your purpose—"

"Otherwise, I don't guarantee that you can leave this place alive!"

The murderous intent wrapped around the gothic girl as if it were real, and Rick just stared at her with calm eyes like stagnant water.

This is the most powerful foe he has ever faced, and he will not hide his power if necessary.

Even if this may lead to the God of War, in his heart at this time, the degree of danger of this woman has already ranked ahead of the God of War.

Not only the inexplicable sense of crisis, but also the elusive way, the most important thing is that the other party seems to be very familiar with him——

"Oh? Are you asking about the identity of the concubine?"

Preface tiptoed and walked up to Rick step by step.

Then, she brought her lips to Rick's ear and let out a hot breath.

"Are you satisfied with this power? My dear—Rick Sama?"

Chapter 18 Rebooted Games

Looking at the girl's amber pupils, Rick's head suddenly slammed, as if a hammer had hit him hard on the head, causing him a dull pain. At the same time, a series of images flashed across him In front of him gradually unfolded, slowly projected.

In the cold room, the boy with silver hair and purple pupils was lying alone on the bed.

"Doctor, he..."

"Obviously the ratio of eumelanin and phaeomelanin is normal... What's going on..."

The man called the doctor also looked a little puzzled.

"It should be a genetic mutation. Sorry, Asians are born with such hair and eye colors, and the content of eumelanin and phaeomelanin is completely normal... This is the first case in the world. We have not been able to ascertain the exact cause.”

Having said that, the doctor paused for a moment, then continued.

"But that child is normal in other aspects. According to the observation results, his IQ is far higher than that of his peers, so you don't have to worry. If there are any adverse reactions, it will be the same when you come back for a checkup."

After speaking, the doctor shook his head and left straight away.

"You could put him in the hospital for a few days, but I personally think that if you want to treat his autism, it's better to get the kid out of the hospital as soon as possible. Let the kid spend more time with his peers, Or go see a psychiatrist, there is nothing I can do to help you here."

"Doctor, doctor—"

The middle-aged man looked at the departing doctor with a wry smile. Whether it was the examination of various instruments or the psychiatrists, they felt helpless for the boy's illness.

Emotionless, machine-like cold eyes, even as a father, he is no exception.

This child, who had never had a thing called "childhood" since he was a child, locked himself in his room and faced the empty chessboard alone while other children were playing carefree on the grass.

... Exactly, why is this happening?

The middle-aged man had seen that the child sometimes appeared very painful and irritable.

——[I, shouldn't appear here. 】

……

——【This world is wrong. 】

……

——[If there is only one person, it is impossible to be saved. 】

……

——【If this game can be played again, then it doesn't matter if you lose. 】

The boy who whispered like this, was abandoned in the wrong world——

Including his father, when it was determined that he could not be treated, he was sent to the home of an ordinary person.

Coincidentally, the couple in that family were originally dead houses. After receiving a large amount of money from the boy's father, they resolutely quit their jobs and spent every day chasing games and playing cosplay.

—By the way, he also took him on this road of no return.

The confused and empty boy has thus become a member of the Neite tribe.

After coming into contact with the thing called "anime" and entering the world called "Two-dimensional", the boy felt as if his heart had been redeemed.

Gradually, the teenager changed.

However, there is always a voice in his heart that is constantly calling.

——【This world is wrong. 】

——【This is not where I should exist. 】

...What exactly is it?The teenager doesn't know.

Until that day, after the theatrical version of No Game No Life was released, the boy's heart became excited after a long absence.

—Here is where I should go.

—Here is where I should exist.

But, that's impossible.

Abnormalities do not exist in this world, pure technological civilization, such unfounded fantasies, cannot exist.

The teenager felt ridiculous for his own thoughts, but there was a voice in his heart telling him.

——[No, it exists. 】

——[Those fantasies are real. 】

……

——[...Hurry up, remember——]

……

——[Rick, sama——]

……

"So... all of this is because of you?"

Rick finally recalled his past, the past that had been buried by himself——

After the great war ended at the expense of Shubi and countless Ex-Machinas, the self afterward did not [die].

The soul wandered in a different space, and finally came to a world of technological civilization.After being impacted by various information, his soul became no longer pure.

For the first time, the Rick who possessed almost absolute calmness and a completely closed heart possessed sensibility beyond rationality.

It was also after that that he regretted his actions.

...If the victory was won at the expense of Shubi, what is the difference from losing.

Such a victory, it is better not to--

If we can do it again, we must, must change this ending.

……

So, back in time -

No, that's not accurate. It should be said that it was reset.

The timeline is not something that can be changed at will. It can go backwards, but it cannot move forward.

It's like the world in which Rick is regressing back to the time when the war has not yet ended, but no matter who it is, it is impossible to move the timeline forward.

It can be induced and predicted, but it cannot be directly changed.

After the time was reset, the result of [Huby's death] no longer existed.

Or rather, it's something that never happened at all.

Even a god can at most induce changes in the world, making the timeline move forward in the original direction.

But it is impossible to push the timeline back to where it was originally.

Because, the timeline there has disappeared after the time is reset.

——It is [something that does not exist].

"So, are you the one who changed everything?"

Rick looked at the gothic girl in front of him calmly, not shocked by the other party's ability to change the world, nor doubted his past.

Yes, it doesn't matter whether you are Rick the traverser or Rick the native.

You are yourself, if you even doubt yourself, then you have too little confidence in yourself.

"This question is not important, is it?"

The goth girl smiled, neither affirming nor denying.

"I came here specially, just to remind Rick Sama of one thing—"

"The elves, something terrible is going to happen soon, okay?"

Preface smiled, like a naive devil.

……

PS1: Regarding the setting of Rick... I don’t know if you have seen the one mentioned in the original work.

The soul similarity between Rick and Sora is as high as 96%. Although the original author denied the claim of soul reincarnation, is such a high similarity really a coincidence?

The appearance and soul of the two are very similar, and if you observe carefully, they actually have a lot in common in other aspects.And in some places, it's the complete opposite.

They all have very lonely personalities, and they all have inexplicable obsessions with their virgin selves?The shame point is also very similar, and both have very confident personalities.

It's just that the former has been failing because the environment is too emmmmmmm.

The latter keeps winning (although losing once in the novel) because the environment is too emmmmmmmmm.

Another point is that Rick is good at deceiving himself, and Sora is good at deceiving others...

Then, Sora once said.

"If it were me, then I would hide with Bai until the world is destroyed."

That's right, Blank really only cares about the other party and himself. As for other people, they cannot be called irreplaceable.

So here comes the question, why did the author set up two people who are so highly similar but completely opposite in some places?

If you say that these two people have nothing to do with each other... I don't believe it!

In my understanding, after Rick and Hubie died, their souls drifted to another world for various reasons.

They are not from that world themselves, so they feel repelled from the bottom of their hearts.

As for why the souls are not exactly the same, but there are these differences in character?

This is not difficult to understand, there are 6000 years on the timeline, and then the world and encounters they live in will also have a certain impact on them, which is why the soul similarity is 96% instead of 100%.

After experiencing the death of a loved one and the influence of different environments on their personalities, Rick (Kong) no longer puts human beings first, but thinks Shubi (White) is the most important thing to him. Not even a moment of separation is allowed.

(The following involves a small amount of spoilers, which can be skipped) In the setting of this book, Rick and Shuby did not have this kind of experience. During the war, due to unknown reasons, the souls of Rick and Shuby did not perish , and finally the time was reset for unknown reasons.

As for why Rick would go to the urban world, there are many reasons.

One is to stimulate Rick's reaction, and the other is to make Rick's character gradually become emotional from rationality, but this sensitivity is only emotional to those who are important to him, and still has almost complete rationality to those who are not important.

Another point is, after all, Rick was born in the urban world first, then crossed over, came back, and crossed over again...

I was born in the world of No Game No Life, traveled through, and then traveled back...

This point is kept secret for the time being, and will be brought up later (?o??o?)??

PS2: About the blank... Some people may ask, if it is set like this, will the blank still appear?I will keep this question secret for the time being, because the above is just my personal understanding and guess (emphasis added). The original author did not give an explanation, so it is actually possible to set the blank as two irrelevant people...

The game life volume will not end so soon, even if the war is over, there will still be a game life story, of course, it must be different from the original book.

PS3: I can’t say whether Blank will appear or not, but Neptune and others will appear, and there may be other characters after that, come to the world of Game Life to play games with van (cross out) (?o??o?) ??

PS4: The focus of this chapter is actually the content of PS (seriously)
