Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

Since the first time he showed the board game and received positive reviews, Rudy has been allocating his free time to research and refine his own board game. In other words, he is stitching together a new role-playing game that combines DND, Dragon Quest, Human World Mythology, and Human World Power System.

If Rudy hadn't considered the specific commercial model, this game would have been sold to the world through the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce long ago, right?

Gao Wen actually enjoyed this kind of game.

After all, the game gave him a relatively fair starting point and the opportunity to compete with everyone. Although Gao Wenwan was invincible in the group-playing game that relied heavily on luck, despite his natural brain power, he could still win.

Rudy, the host, announced with a smirk:

"A major failure of defense."

"Demon Emperor Gawain, you are dead."

"Twenty-six years ago, the swordsman Gawain left his hometown and formed an adventurer team with the priest Alice, the magician Gilena, and the thief Sylphy - the Fitoya Fool Company. Over the past six years of joyful, bitter, noisy, and satisfying adventures, they grew into a legendary adventuring team with all members ranked SSS-level."

"However, in his pursuit of power, the swordsman Gawain embarked on an evil path, abandoning his teammates. He first participated in the resurrection of the Demon God, gaining superhuman, Demon King-level strength in exchange, and then became a Demon Swordsman. Ignoring the advice of his former teammates, the new team of Demon Slayers, he annihilated his closest friends and sacrificed the capital of the Golden Kingdom to forge the prototype of the Supreme Demon Sword."

"Fortunately, the Human God showed mercy. This mythical goddess of the human world used her divine power to resurrect the members of the Demon Slayer Squad, who were loyal to humanity. She also granted them the power of saints, allowing them to fight as apostles of the Human God and stop the terrifying Demon God from resurrecting."

"At the same time, the Demon Swordsman Gawain, in order to perfect the Supreme Demon Sword, not only slaughtered a large number of powerful humans, but also stabbed his fellow demons in the back, killing all the demon kings except the Undead Demon King. He then sealed the Undead Demon King in the Supreme Demon Sword as an eternal source of magic power. He also used secret techniques to usurp the vacant Demon Emperor throne."

"However, under the protection of the great Dice Goddess... no, the Human God, the Demon Slayer Squad endured a long and arduous battle. The Supreme Demon Sword Master, the Rebellious Demon Emperor, the Blood-Slaughtered Demon Shadow, the Demon God's lackey, the Betrayer Gawain, was finally slain at this moment."

"What a joy! What a joy!"

Regarding this result, Demon Emperor Gawain only sighed:

"Ugh."

Berserker Healer Alice was so happy that she jumped up and down:

"Great! Gawain is finally dead!"

Light Cannon Mage Gilena also smiled:

"This is what happens to people like Paul."

Avenger Sylphy held a teacup, her expression broken:

"Who made my brother betray everyone?"

Berserker Healer Alice looked curiously at the host with a lewd smile on his face:

"Rudeus, what next? Can we seal the demon?!"

Rudy closed the rule book and declared like a priest preaching:

"The power of the saints in the bodies of the members of the Demon Slayer Squad suddenly transformed into the power of the demon god. You are dead."

"After initially unsealing himself, the Demon God recovered his free power, completely breaking the seal and returning to the world. He drew forth the only supreme demonic sword capable of killing and sealing him once more, and reigned supreme over the world once more."

“The world finally understands.”

"It turns out that the human god is the devil."

The three victorious women immediately pushed the table aside and began to chop with apathy. Only Rudy, whose foreshadowing had worked, continued to smirk.

"I think the storyline hints at something obvious, huh?"

"During your last adventure, everyone knew that the Demon God was resurrecting, right? They also learned the forging method of the Supreme Demon Sword and the related legends, right?"

"The Supreme Demon Sword is a weapon that can kill gods, so it must be effective against demons as well."

"But it seems only Brother Gawain noticed and put it into practice. Humans have a level cap, so he stopped being human. After unlocking the level cap, he continued to level up without limit, and forged the Supreme Demon Sword without limit. All this was done to kill the Demon God again."

"Speaking of which, don't you find it strange? Why didn't a benevolent god like the Human God appear to resolve the crisis right from the start? Why did he have to wait until the Demon God had resurrected to a certain stage and the prototype of the Supreme Demon Sword was forged before rushing out to help you for no apparent reason?"

"I thought this simple foreshadowing was impossible to trigger! Thank you for letting me experience what it's like to play the role of a god! It's awesome!"

Then the smug Rudy was beaten.

Sylphy complained:

"Brother, couldn't you have said it earlier?"

Gawain just shrugged:

"It's just a game. I can do this kind of thing by myself. It's more efficient and you won't have to worry about it."

Game over.

Dusk has also fallen.

Due to the popularity of magic crystal lamps among the upper class, night banquets are now becoming increasingly popular in the Kingdom of Asura. Almost all nobles think that this is much more enjoyable than the traditional banquet rhythm that has to start in the afternoon and is highly dependent on daylight lighting.

The process is very simple, so there is not much to elaborate on.

Of course, dinner was prepared by the chef of the Boreas family and the chef of the restaurant under the Chamber of Commerce, each of whom was responsible for a part of the menu. At best, it could only be regarded as embellishment, so everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Gift words.

The model Rudy presented was a red dragon, about two meters long, and bore little resemblance to a red dragon, even though it was made from red dragon material. It was a very handsome four-legged dragon. In short, Rudy repeatedly emphasized that this was a giant dragon, not a flying dragon, and a red dragon, not a red dragon.

This annoyed Gawain so much that he made a stone tablet on the base of the model and engraved "Four-legged Red Dragon Model" on it.

Since Rudy was very stingy and kept all the good ideas he thought of to himself, the gift that Alice, who was under his guidance, gave him was very strange. Of course, Alice herself was quite satisfied with it. In short, it was a huge white bearskin carpet, the kind with a head, which came from a northern magical beast that Rudy took Alice on a special trip to hunt.

But for some reason, both Sylphy and Rudy vaguely sensed that Gawain seemed to be very fond of him.

Gileno also chose to cater to the other party's preferences. It is said that he asked the orc servants of Boreas's house to make a large number of house decorations in the style of the Great Forest.

Gawain and Sylphy were both very satisfied, as this added a new type of embellishment to their home.

As for Sylphy, she was not sent along.

Gawain naturally wouldn't ask. He felt that Sylphy must have her own ideas, and most likely planned to learn from the experience Rudy taught her last time.

After the birthday party ended and the guests left, the brother and sister cleaned up the slightly messy house together, and then took a shower, washed up, and got ready to rest early.

In bed after lights out.

Gawain, who was doing the test with his eyes closed, suddenly felt Sylphy beside him move and press on him. He opened his eyes in confusion, and then remembered that it should be related to the birthday present.

indeed.

Sylphy caressed his cheek and kissed his lips.

"This is a first kiss, brother."

"But it's not a birthday present. It's a present for my brother's tenth birthday. Sylphy wants to keep it until she's ten and then give it to you, okay?"

Gawain didn't understand the throbbing in his body, but he just raised his hand and gently stroked his sister's cheek, chuckling dotingly:

"It's okay, Sylphy can make me wait as long as you want."

Although I know my brother doesn’t mean that.

But Sylphy still felt extremely satisfied.

It was as if his increasingly chaotic and filthy soul had been redeemed, as if everything he had done to his brother had been forgiven.

"Ok!"

Sylphy felt herself regaining her sanity.

Note 1: This is not a sexual convention.

Note 2: When I wrote this chapter, I just thought that Rudy would definitely do this kind of thing. Later, when I re-read the various short stories of the original work, I found out that he really did it (just not as elaborate as this version).

Chapter 44 Sister's Diary (2) - 3k

October 9, 415 Jialong calendar year

It has been a year since I left my home in Buena Village and came to Roya City with my brother.

I really miss my mom and dad too.

Miss every day that passed.

I am still a child, but I always write about things in my diary that are not appropriate for my age. I feel weird.

But everyone seemed to think I was meant to be this way. As Rudy had said, was it simply because my mind was developing faster? I suddenly remembered that when I first started school, I was actually worried about whether I could get along well with my classmates. After all, I wasn't even eight years old at the time, while my classmates were already eleven or twelve. I was afraid I would seem childish.

But there is no need to worry.

Although they know more strange things than I do and seem to have broader knowledge, I am not envious or timid. I can easily understand things that I didn’t understand before, and I can even quickly see through their inner thoughts.

It's not me who is childish.

Only in front of my brother am I the childish Sylphy.

Even in front of my parents, I try to appear reliable and mature.

Because my parents are very vulnerable, I have to protect them and let them know that I am strong and reliable. Although I can't be with them now, I will protect the results of their hard work.

That is to protect my brother.

Because my brother is actually very fragile, but I am also very fragile in front of my brother. I want to be protected by my brother, I want to act coquettishly to my brother, I also want to protect my brother, and I want my brother to act coquettishly to me.

I want to be with my brother forever.

I want to live to be ten thousand years old.

In that case, my brother and I would be a perfect match, and I wouldn't hurt him.

Have such a sweet dream tonight!

October 6, 416 Jialong calendar year

Rudy is back.

We usually have tea parties at home and listen to him talk about things in Buena Village. My brother would also join us, but he was not interested in such topics. He would usually just listen to us chatting while completing his task of learning about the Vitrum people in his mind.

My brother is really amazing and self-disciplined. I probably won’t be able to learn more than my brother who is not even ten years old yet, right?

Rudy said that nothing had happened at home in Buena Village, and his father and mother were living a normal and peaceful life. They would occasionally get together with Rudy's family, which made me feel relieved.

After all, everyone in the village should know the name of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce, right? Even if my brother and I stayed away from home, they certainly wouldn't dare bully Mom and Dad, not to mention Uncle Paul and the others who would come forward to protect and help Mom and Dad.

And everyone in the village is not a bad person.

Rudy was mostly talking about his family, specifically Noren and Aisha. My brother was also quite interested in the topic, which made me a little shy. I actually missed these two little ones, too. I hadn't seen them in so long, and they're already talking and running. They've grown up so fast.

But it's normal.

The oldest, Nolen, is only half a year younger than when I first knew his brother. On the contrary, Aisha is amazing. She has only been two years old for a few days, but she has already started learning to read and write. She even uses the ugly handwriting of my notes that I left behind. It's really exaggerated, and I am so embarrassed as her sister.

I hope Aisha’s impression of me won’t become that of a runaway sister from the same village with ugly handwriting.

Sister Sylphy's handwriting is very beautiful now, isn't it?

I kind of want to write a reading and writing enlightenment book for them both, but this kind of thing can be bought in bookstores. I seem to really like teaching children. I felt the same way when I wrote the magic enlightenment book for my teacher's hometown, right?

It's embarrassing to say.

The child reminds me of my older brother.

After all, my brother often acts like a child, even more childish than a child, but he is not annoying and is a perfect child.

Always stubborn, always selfish, always clumsy, always ignorant.

Always cute.

I can’t let it be like this every time I write a diary.

I'll start writing about my brother halfway through.

So, I won’t write today.

October 9, 416 Jialong calendar year

Today is the first day off after the New Year.

I went to Boreas's house with my brother to borrow a new batch of books, and to play with Rudy and Alice.

Although it was a day off, Alice was excitedly practicing using the birthday gift Rudy made for her. After spending several months, Alice finally became familiar with the basic functions of the magical combat boots that were transformed from magic add-ons. The advanced usage seemed very difficult to learn, so she was still gradually exploring and practicing.

I feel like I'm totally incapable of handling the swordsman's training. I definitely can't do something like repeating a simple task tens of thousands of times, right?

Fortunately, my brother doesn't allow me to spend time practicing swordsmanship.

When I mention my brother, I want to talk endlessly again, but what I am going to write next is indeed related to my brother.
