Chapter 165 - The Witch of Catastrophe! Death by Return! The Army of Otherworld Transmigrators!

『 On the bustling street, Natsuki Subaru held the snacks he had just bought from the convenience store, staring blankly at the suddenly transformed world.

…He just blinked, and then… was he summoned to another world?!!

Natsuki Subaru didn't panic, but calmly analyzed everything here.

Medieval, a worldview full of demi-humans, probably filled with war and adventure, right?

He walked up to an appa stand, and an uncle with a grass root in his mouth greeted him.

"Yo, young man, want an appa?" 』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜

[ Kumoko (So I'm a Spider, So What?): "Wow! It's really a senior! An epic legend of an isekai protagonist! Must record, must record!" ]

[ Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord): "To be summoned in the flesh… truly enviable." ]

[ Rimuru Tempest (Tensura): "Indeed, that part is truly enviable." ]

[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "Damn it, that's so enviable it makes me grit my teeth! How come you don't have a useless goddess following you?!!" ]

[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "…?! Sato Kazuma! What do you mean by that! When you were scared to death by a tractor, I didn't despise you!" ]

[ Rudeus Greyrat (Mushoku Tensei): "? Scared to death by a tractor and transported? Pfft, hahahahaha! I've seen people hit by trucks, but never someone scared to death!" ]

[ Cid Kageno (Eminence in Shadow): "Step by step to becoming a king? How curious! Since he can become a king in that world, he must have some extraordinary qualities!" ]

[ Deadpool (Earth-10005): "Well, well, did this blow up the whole isekai army? Kid, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you get liberated~" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Countless transmigrators looked at Natsuki Subaru on the screen. This was the first isekai transmigrator to make it onto the screen, right?

Since the other party was chosen, they must have some outstanding qualities, right?

But was the key to him becoming a king, death?

This left them scratching their heads. How can one become a king after dying?

.....

〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"As long as you don't have a useless goddess by your side, you won't end up too badly,"

Sato Kazuma sneered.

As an isekai transmigrator, there couldn't be anyone more miserable than him these days.

Not only was he scared to death by a tractor, but he thought he had picked an SSR, only for it to be a trash card… No, if it were just a trash card, that would be fine.

But this was a hellish goddess who would infinitely increase the difficulty for you; this was simply not something a transmigrator could handle!

"You think I wanted to come with you! If you hadn't chosen me, I would still be eating potato chips and singing right now!"

Aqua was also gnashing her teeth in hatred!

There were so many skills to choose from back then, why did he have to pick her?!

〜Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

In the tomb, the Witch of Envy, Satella, stared obsessively at Natsuki Subaru on the screen.

Like, love, possession, obsession—

Subaru can only be hers!

〜Im Spider, So What World〜

"Write it down, the deeds of a senior moving toward the peak are worth learning!"

In the cave, a terrifying, giant, pink-and-white spider gestured wildly.

But in Kumoko's own eyes, she was super cute~

Looking at Natsuki Subaru on the screen, Kumoko was extremely excited; after all, she was very lonely having transmigrated alone!

〜The Eminence in Shadow World〜

"A king?!"

A figure gradually rose above a blood-red moon. Shadow's silhouette was infinitely elongated, his black robe fluttering loudly in the wind, and a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.

As a fellow transmigrator, he couldn't bring shame to transmigrators.

Under the radiance of the blood moon, a purple magic barrier flickered in and out of existence, almost covering this entire world.

『 "Yo, young man, want some appa?" the boss greeted.

Natsuki Subaru touched his pocket and took out the coins left over from the convenience store. The two were silent for a moment.

"Are you here to cause trouble, kid?!" The boss drove Natsuki Subaru away directly.

After some experimentation, the initial passion of Natsuki Subaru was poured over with a bucket of cold water. He had no abilities…

That's right, like those novels and manga where the male lead transmigrates and gains heaven-defying abilities, he had absolutely none.

Now, Natsuki Subaru was even more curious: where was the beautiful girl who summoned him to this other world?

A set of footsteps approached. Natsuki Subaru looked excited, but the next moment, he was stunned; three thugs had surrounded him.

The white-haired one even pulled out two long blades. Natsuki Subaru was immediately beaten up.

"Stop!" Just then, at the end of the alley, a figure more radiant than light walked over.

Waist-length silver hair, blue-purple eyes full of gentleness and intelligence, the beautiful face made Natsuki Subaru fall instantly.

Emilia saved Natsuki Subaru and asked if he knew the whereabouts of a lost badge. Natsuki Subaru shook his head; he had just arrived. How would he know about any badge?

But he did remember the thief's face!

Natsuki Subaru took the initiative to help Emilia find the badge and learned her name.

"My name is Satella," Emilia teased Natsuki Subaru.

But Natsuki Subaru blushed, firmly remembering this name in his heart, and gave his own name, but he didn't know the so-called Satella.

Was the most taboo and terrifying existence in this world!

"What a nice name," Natsuki Subaru praised. 』

『 .....』

〜Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

"Subaru… Subaru, Subaru, Subaru, Subaru!"

Watching Natsuki Subaru approach Emilia, a terrifying, destructive aura erupted from around Satella!

But upon seeing Natsuki Subaru praise her name, Satella instantly became as shy as a girl in love.

Authority of Envy—

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Everyone looked at each other. Is this the representative of isekai transmigrators?

Why does he look like a stud who just wants to mate? And he has no abilities? Is this guy having too miserable a time?

Uncertain, everyone decided to keep watching.

.....

『 Although they had only spent half a day together, Natsuki Subaru was full of affection for Emilia, and Emilia also gradually developed a trace of affection for Natsuki Subaru.

After several searches, they got information about the thief Felt's whereabouts. It was already night when the two arrived at the slums, and the spirit Puck had fallen asleep, instructing Natsuki Subaru to take good care of Emilia.

"I'll go in first. If you don't hear me, don't come in," Natsuki Subaru instructed.

"Hmm… After I retrieve the badge, I will solemnly apologize to you," Emilia looked at the serious Natsuki Subaru and couldn't help but think of something, apologizing.

Natsuki Subaru didn't mind, pushed the door open gently, and began to search with a flashlight.

Treasures, dazzling treasures, but… the next moment, Natsuki Subaru felt like he stepped into a puddle of water.

No… it wasn't water! His expression suddenly became terrified! It was a pool of blood! And in front of him was a corpse with eyes still open in death!

"Oh, is there someone else?" The next moment, an icy blade slashed through, and Natsuki Subaru's body was pierced directly.

Hearing the sound, Emilia was also discovered by the murderer, and then a blade pierced through her!

"Wait for me… I will definitely save you!" Natsuki Subaru's expression was ferocious, enduring the pain as he gripped Emilia's gradually cooling hand.

Sharp, twisted shrieks and wails—

It was as if the witch's shrieking wails were echoing in his ears. Intense pain came, and Natsuki Subaru's body shook violently.

Everything in front of him fell into gray, and then—

The vision gradually brightened, and the buzzing in his ears was replaced by noisy chatter, "Hey, young man, want an appa?" 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

The expressions of everyone suddenly became suspicious and uncertain.

Natsuki Subaru just now… died, right!?

But why… instantly, the image of Akemi Homura appeared in everyone's mind. Could it be that this boy is the same kind of existence as Akemi Homura?!

Does he also have the ability to turn back time like Akemi Homura?! And that witch's wail…

Could it be that this world is the same as the world of Madoka?! And this guy named Natsuki Subaru is actually a hero who possesses the ability to backtrack and move forward in the cycle?

But is this ability a passive or active skill?

If it were an active skill, that would be fine; Natsuki Subaru could just control it to backtrack. But what if it's a passive skill…

Only triggered when dying?

Then… then that would be a huge joke!

.....

〜Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

In the tomb, a white-haired girl with pure white skin and ultimate beauty elegantly drank the hot tea in her cup.

"Saving Emilia? Subaru, you really dare to say that. This is practically being cuckolded by proxy~ Satella will definitely be angry if she sees this."

Echidna showed a smile,

"Subaru, that's not how this ability is used."

Return by Death, the ability granted to Natsuki Subaru by the Witch of Envy, Satella, was intended to give him enough opportunities to survive, and the number of times and duration of this authority were not unlimited.

According to her speculation, this should depend on Satella's obsession with her love for Natsuki Subaru~

As long as Satella still loves Natsuki Subaru, this authority will continue to exist.

However…

The girl's mouth hooked into a smile,

"Subaru-kun, don't you dare give this love that the Witch of Envy gave you to someone else~"

Because that is the world-destroying witch, after all~

『 After waking up, Natsuki Subaru was confused for a moment before gradually coming to his senses. Didn't he just die…?

But before he could figure it out, he remembered that Emilia had just died, too! He had to save Emilia!

But soon, Natsuki Subaru found that his memory seemed a bit chaotic. The three thugs he had met didn't recognize him, and the big guy who had died in the shop wasn't dead.

Could it be that it was all a dream?

But this wasn't his goal; his goal was to get the badge from Felt. Natsuki Subaru didn't just snatch it, but negotiated to trade it for the cellphone he brought from his original world.

However, this required the consent of the client. Soon, they met the client, Elsa!

But just as everything was moving in a good direction, Elsa attacked without warning, killing Felt and Old Man Rom in an instant, and Natsuki Subaru was again miserably killed by her hand.

Intense pain came, and Natsuki Subaru was on the verge of collapse!

Sharp, twisted shrieks and wails—the witch's shrieking wails echoed in his ears again.

His heavy eyelids fell uncontrollably, and the next moment, his vision brightened again.

"Yo, young man, want an appa?"

And at this moment, Natsuki Subaru still hadn't figured out what was going on. Suddenly, he saw Emilia on the street, and he couldn't help but shout!

"Satella!" Then, Natsuki Subaru recounted the things in his memory.

But he didn't notice that the expressions of the people on the street suddenly became strange and terrified.

Emilia asked with disgust why he called her Satella, but Natsuki Subaru was dumbfounded. Wasn't this what she said herself?

Just then, Felt suddenly flashed past Emilia, then snatched the badge from Emilia!

Emilia was stunned and hurriedly chased after her. Natsuki Subaru also followed, but in the alley, he met those three thugs again.

"Don't stop me!" he shouted, and then… he ran into the blade and died again.

Sharp, twisted shrieks and wails—the witch's shrieking wails echoed in his ears.

"Hey, young man, want an appa?" 』

『 .....』

〜Bleach World〜

"So that's it, a king, a boy who is to become a tyrant?"

Blackening isn't something that happens overnight. It is a process where the inner light is gradually swallowed by darkness through countless hurts and disappointments. When kindness receives no response, blackening becomes the last line of defense to protect oneself.

Aizen's face still held that smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Reflected in his glasses was the distorted and sharp Natsuki Subaru on the screen.

The soul struggles and transforms in the darkness, shouting with anger at the unfairness of the world. Boy, arm yourself with darkness.

〜Tokyo Ghoul World〜

"The one who is wrong is not me, it is this… world."

The white-haired boy gazed at the bustling world beneath his feet.

Beside him, the centipede's corpse was already stinking. The distortion and ferocity on its face showed what kind of inhumane torture it had endured before death.

Kaneki Ken understood the despair and pain in Natsuki Subaru's heart, and he also understood what kind of king he would become in death.

As ordinary people, they were suddenly subjected to physical and mental blows harder to accept than death, so they could only seek the meaning of survival in another way.

Wrapping their once-gentle and fragile selves in coldness and determination.
