An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"hehe……"

"ah!?"

Yue's sexy, joyful voice brought Hajime's thoughts back to normal. Hajime noticed Yue's eyes constantly stealing glances at the parts of his body that clearly reflected his feelings. In his heart, Hajime beat up his son who had shouted, "Lord! Are you going to charge in?" and attempted a strategic retreat.

He felt that if he continued like this, he would be conquered without any resistance. Because he valued Yue, Hajime didn't want to act on impulse. As a man, if he wanted to enter a deeper relationship, he should at least have a clear attitude.

However, Shi's will to retreat had no effect on the vampire princess in front of him. She would not let Shi retreat and pounced on him preemptively.

"……drink!"

“… B-Bumped into it?”

"※I did it on purpose." (Editor's note: This is a line said by the heroine Shirakawa Nagisa in "TAKAYA - Senbu Gakuen Gekitoden" when she presses her breasts against the hero's back.)

"So why do you know that joke? Okay, I'm leaving now!"

Yue hugged him from the front, and the soft touch in many places and the cute curve of her buttocks made Hajime's rational army finally begin to collapse. If this continued, he might turn into an irrational beast and vent his desires on the girl he cared about.

but……

"Don't even think about escaping!"

“Hey, wait, ah, ah——————!!”

He couldn't escape the clutches of the vampire princess.

What happened next was just as everyone imagined.

That night, Yue showed the majesty of an elder, which made Shi see things more clearly. Two months passed after that.

Even at the bottom of the abyss, facing monsters beyond common sense, Hajime, who had undergone a complete transformation physically and mentally, and who had continuously won, was still powerless against Yue's onslaught, with a zero percent chance of winning. So Hajime decided to let go and accept her.

Hajime had already noticed Yue's feelings for him and had even promised to take her back to her original world. Furthermore, the reason he endured Yue's attacks was simply because he didn't want to let up until he achieved his goal—a very flimsy excuse.

Therefore, now that they had already conquered the maze, secured a safe base, and had a clear action plan for returning home, and had gained some mental slack, such a flimsy excuse would certainly not be enough to resist Yue's offensive, and there was no reason to resist.

The two of them made full use of their base, living a life that would make anyone who saw them scream, "Explode!" Meanwhile, in a distant place, a female ghost resembling a stand appeared behind a certain female student, causing her friends to tremble with fear. But that's another story. It was a foreshadowing of the Shura Field that was about to arrive in the near future. (Translator's note: The stand here refers to the special ability in the manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure").

“…Hashi, are you feeling well?”

"Hmm~ Very comfortable~"

"Hehe... then what about this side?"

"Ah~ That's great~"

"I'll make you more comfortable..."

Yue was giving Shi a massage and was not doing anything sexual at the moment. Her clothes were also very neat, as if Oscar's clothes had been modified into clothes for girls.

A short skirt reveals a pair of provocative feet. Astride Shi, Yue massages Shi. It's because of Shi's left hand. Shi's left hand doesn't extend below the elbow, so he has a prosthetic hand that fits snugly around the shoulder. To help his body adjust to the prosthetic hand, Yue regularly massages Shi.

This prosthetic hand is a divine artifact, capable of performing movements identical to a real arm through direct manipulation by magical power. It possesses a neural network that, through the flow of magical power, accurately transmits the sensation of touch back to the brain. Furthermore, its lightweight form is framed by a black base, with several silver lines and patterns resembling magic circles etched throughout.

In reality, the prosthetic hand contained numerous mechanisms, crafted from Oscar's hand, housed in the workshop's treasury, with Hajime's original elements added. A large quantity of special minerals, created through generative magic, were used in the process. If it were ever to be discovered, it would surely be designated a national treasure, a treasure to be carefully guarded. However, without the ability to directly manipulate magical power, it would be completely useless, rendering it useless to ordinary humans...

In the past two months, the two had made incomparable progress in strength and equipment. For example, Hajime's status board was now like this—

====================

Nanyun Hajime, 17 years old, male, level: ???

Vocation: Alchemist

Power: 10950

Stamina: 13190

Resistance: 10670

Agility: 13450

Mana: 14780

Magic Resistance: 14780

Skills: Alchemy (+Mineral Identification) (+Precision Alchemy) (+Mineral Exploration) (+Mineral Separation) (+Mineral Fusion) (+Copy Alchemy) (+Compression Alchemy) · Magical Manipulation (+Magic Radiation) (+Magic Compression) (+Remote Manipulation) · Stomach Acid Enhancement · Thunder Wrap · Sky Step (+Aerodynamics) (+Shrinking the Earth) (+Go Fighting) (+Blink) · Wind Claws · Night Vision · Farsightedness · Breath Perception (+Specific Perception) · Magic Perception (+Specific Perception) · Heat Perception (+Specific Perception) · Breath Concealment (+Phantom Step) · Poison Resistance · Paralysis Resistance · Petrification Resistance · Panic Resistance · All Attribute Resistance · Prejudgment, Diamond · Strong Arms · Pressure · Telepathy · Tracking · High-Speed ​​Magic Recovery · Magic Transformation (+Physical Strength) (+Healing Power) · Limit Break · Magic Generation · Language Comprehension

====================

The level was set at 100, indicating the character's current level of growth. However, perhaps due to excessive consumption of monster flesh and excessive deterioration of the body, after a certain period of time, although the stats continued to rise, the level stopped changing, and eventually became invisible.

Hajime's growth after consuming monster flesh is clearly abnormal, judging by both its initial values ​​and growth rate. As the values ​​rise, the growth limit also rises along with the deterioration of the flesh. This suggests that even the stat board may no longer be able to measure Hajime's limits.

Incidentally, as a hero, Amagawa Kouki's limit is 1500. While Limit Break can triple it, even that's still about three times lower than Hajime's. Furthermore, Hajime's stats were tripled by taking Limit Break from Hydra, which shows just how much of a cheat Hajime has become.

Basically, if we compare, the limit for normal humans is 100-200, for those with a vocation it's 300-400, and for demons and demihumans, due to their racial characteristics, 300-600 is already the upper limit for some values. If the hero is using cheats, then Hajime can only be described as a monster. Although, since his body and mind have been degraded, that description is not wrong...

Besides the prosthetic arm, Hajime also acquired a number of other new equipment, one of which was a convenient item called the "Treasure House." This ring-shaped artifact, kept by Oscar, allows items to be stored within a space within a one-centimeter ruby ​​on the ring. Simply put, it's like a hero's item bag. While the exact size of this space is unknown, it's assumed to be quite large, as it seems to easily accommodate all sorts of equipment, items, and materials. By channeling prana into the magic circle engraved on the ring, items can be stored and retrieved, and retrieved items can appear anywhere within a one-meter radius.

It was a very convenient artifact, especially for Hajime, as a weapon. The reason for this was that since it could transport any object to any location, Hajime thought that this could be used to reload bullets.

The result was halfway to success. While directing bullets into the magazine wasn't a precise operation, directing them all in the same direction and then regularly delivering them to a certain range was a success. So, Hajime decided to train himself to be able to load the bullets into the magazine using his own technique, even after they were teleported mid-air. In short, it was mid-air reloading.

At this point, the most suitable revolver for mid-air reloading is the break-action revolver. However, compared with the swing-out revolver, the structural strength of the break-action revolver is inevitably lower. Having said that, it is extremely difficult to reload the swing-out revolver in the air.

At this point, Hajime developed an improved method: a modified version that ejected only the barrel upwards. By directly manipulating the mechanism with magic power, the bullet could be simultaneously released. Another method involved using the gun's rotation technique to reload the magazine with bullets transported mid-air.

To cut to the chase, after a month of intense training, Hajime had successfully mastered mid-air reloading. How could he master such a remarkable technique in just one month? The secret lies in 'Blink'. 'Blink' is a unique magic that heightens the user's perception, and through this magic, Hajime was able to perform mid-air reloading in a world that had slowed down.

In addition, Hajime also created the magic-powered two-wheeled vehicle "Shufu" and the magic-powered four-wheeled vehicle "Britje".

As the name suggests, these two- and four-wheeled vehicles were powered by magic, armored with the world's strongest azantium ore, and, like some intelligence agent, heavily armed. Hajime, being a boy himself, was naturally drawn to military weaponry. However, his obsession with them had caused Yue to become upset, and to appease her, Hajime allowed herself to be exploited...

Hajime also developed a tool called the "Magic Eye Stone".

Hajime lost his right eye in the battle with Hydra. The moisture in his eyeball evaporated by the heat of the aurora, leaving it "deficient" before the use of the sacred water, making it impossible to heal. Yue was concerned about this and, through her conception, created the "Magic Eye Stone."

Even with Genesis Magic, it's impossible to create an ordinary "eyeball." However, by using Genesis Magic and endowing the Divine Crystal with "magical perception" and "prediction," they were able to successfully create a Mystic Eye that grants a special vision beyond that of ordinary people.

By incorporating neural tissue into the prosthetic hand, the Mystic Eye can transmit captured images to the brain. While the Mystic Eye cannot see normal vision, it can instead perceive the flow, strength, and properties of magical power through color, and can also see the core of the magic.

The so-called magic core is something used to control and maintain activated magic... I guess. It's a known fact that controlling activated magic requires the use of a magic circle's ritual. So how does that ritual connect to long-range magic? Hajime had never considered this question before. In fact, none of the books he'd read or his instructors' teachings mentioned anything about it, so this must be a new discovery. Since Yue, a magic expert, didn't even know about such a thing, it seemed very likely.

Normal "Magic Sense" is similar to "Aura Sense," providing only a vague sense of the number of monsters present and only effective against those that can conceal their presence. However, with this Mystic Eye, not only can one foresee the enemy's magic potential and its power, but even after activation, one can destroy it by piercing its core. However, the Sniper Core requires unwavering precision.

The reason for using a Divine Crystal was that only Divine Crystals could be used to grant multiple spells. Hajime speculated that this was due to its ability to hold vast amounts of magical energy. Since Hajime's mastery of generating magic was still immature, he couldn't grant more than two spells simultaneously. However, given the potential of Divine Crystals, Hajime hoped that as he became more proficient, he might be able to grant more spells simultaneously.

By the way, since this magic eye is made of divine crystal, it often emits a faint pale light, so Hajime's right eye usually glows. However, Hajime can't do anything about this, so he can only make an eyepatch with a thin black cloth and wear it.

White hair, prosthetic hand, eye patch—Hajime had completely transformed into a chuunibyou. With that look, he might even say something like, "Calm down, my left hand!" Seeing his own appearance in the mirror, Hajime fell to his knees in despair, supporting himself on his hands. He ended up spending an entire day in bed, comforted by Yue in various ways... but that's another story.

As for new weapons, the anti-weapon rifle, the Shurajan, destroyed by Hydra's aurora, has also been revived. Hajime used Azantium ore to increase its hardness. Since the portability issue had been resolved, Hajime lengthened the barrel, significantly increasing its range and power.

Furthermore, recalling the time he was being chased by a swarm of velociraptors and struggling due to a lack of attack power, Hajime developed the electromagnetic acceleration machine gun—the Mejerai. With a 30mm caliber and six rotating barrels capable of firing 12,000 rounds per minute—it was a monster. While the gun was constructed from a cooling ore created using Genesis Magic, it could only be used continuously for five minutes, requiring a ten-minute cooldown before being used again.

Furthermore, for superficial suppression and pure interest, he also created the Alcorn, a rocket and missile launcher. The rectangular barrel had a twelve-round rotating magazine attached to the rear, allowing for continuous firing. There were also many different types of rockets.

Furthermore, Hajime also developed the Hulaq, a rotary electromagnetic accelerator gun, to pair with Donal. This was because Hajime had prosthetic arms, allowing him to use both. Hajime's basic tactics were set to employ a gun-style (a close-quarters combat technique using guns) using the two electromagnetic accelerator guns, Donal and Hulaq. This was because close combat was more effective, considering Yue's typical rearguard role. However, Hajime could play any position as long as he was armed.

Hajime also developed various equipment and gadgets. While the equipment was plentiful, it also depleted the magical power stored in the Divine Crystals. As a result, only twelve test tubes of Divine Water remained. Despite trying to refill the depleted Divine Crystals with magical power, no more Divine Water could be extracted. It seemed that concentrating the Divine Crystals would require countless years.

But it was a shame to lose the Divine Crystal. It was Hajime's lifesaver... no, it was the Stone of Grace. If it hadn't been for a stroke of luck that had led him to the location of this crystal, Hajime would have surely died. Therefore, Hajime cherished it with an extraordinary love. It was like a castaway, unable to bear the loneliness, painting a face on their possession, giving it a name, and loving it dearly.

Therefore, Hajime used the ability of the divine crystal to hold a huge amount of magic power, and processed some of it into necklaces, earrings, rings and other accessories through refining, and gave them to Yue.

Although Yue can cast powerful spells, since she doesn't need to chant, she can inject as much magic power as she wants, but this can sometimes lead to rapid magic power depletion. However, by storing magic power externally like a battery, she can cast even powerful spells continuously without being paralyzed by running out of magic power.

With this in mind, Hajime gave Yue a set of accessories named the "Magic Crystal Series," but Yue's reaction was...

"……Proposal?"

"Which A button should I press?"

Hearing Yue's unexpected first words, Hajime couldn't help but complain in a Kansai accent.

"That will prevent my magic from running out, right? I think these equipment will definitely protect the moon for me this time."

"...It's a proposal after all."

"No, that's not it. It's just new equipment."

“… Hajime is shy.”

"...Yue hasn't been listening lately, huh?"

"...I'm shy even in bed."

"Can you please stop talking about this!? I'm serious!"

"beginning……"

"Eh~ What's up?"

"Thank you... I love you the most."

"……oh."

The two of them created an atmosphere where they would actually be yelled at, "Explode!", and in many ways, they were fully prepared.

Ten days later, Hajime and Yue finally emerged from the ground.

Hajime told Yue in a calm tone as he activated the magic circle on the third floor.

"Yue... My weapons and our power are heretical on earth. The Holy Church and the other nations will probably not sit idly by."

"Um……"

"There's a very high chance they'll demand we hand over our weapons or artifacts and force us to join the war."

"Um……"

"It would be fine if it were just the church and the state, but those lunatics who claim to be gods behind the scenes might also be hostile to us."

"Um……"

"This may be a dangerous journey against the world, and no matter how many lives you have, it may not be enough."

"Things have come to this..."

Hearing Yue's words, Hajime couldn't help but smile wryly. Yue's eyes met his own. Hajime gently stroked Yue's soft, fluffy hair, and Yue narrowed her eyes in a state of comfort. Hajime took a breath, staring into Yue's gleaming red eyes, and shaped his wishes and realization into words, engraving them on his soul.

"I protect Yue, and Yue protects me. That way, I will be the strongest. I will sweep away everything and surpass the entire world."

Hearing Hajime's words, Yue clasped her hands tightly against her chest as if hugging him, and then, like a flower blooming, her expressionless face revealed what must have been the cutest smile in the world.

Her answer was the same as always.

"Um!"

The final chapter of the first volume

At the bottom of the deep canyon, which can be said to be a scar engraved on the earth, in that dry place without a drop of water, there are rocks of all sizes and shapes on the ground. Without having to listen carefully, you can hear the roars of ferocious monsters or the sounds of the survival of the fittest at any time.

Here, powerful human weapons like magic are unavailable, and there's little food available. To escape the valley, one must scale hundreds of meters of cliffs, a conspicuous act that will most likely lead to becoming prey to monsters.

Basically, there are stairs built at the east and west ends of the canyon for people to exit the valley, but the sharp-eyed monsters will not let the rare food that falls into the valley escape.

Therefore, it is equivalent to hell for people, or a convenient place of execution.

In that place where it was extremely difficult for humans to survive, a shadow moved.

There is a pair of rabbit ears in the crevice of the huge rock.

The cute and charming rabbit ears, which were completely out of place in the valley of hell, moved left and right for a while as if detecting the air.

Soon, perhaps believing the area was clear of danger, the rabbit-eared creature peeked out from behind a rock. Beneath the rabbit ears appeared a person, not an animal, but a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with rabbit ears. This time, she used her gaze to confirm the surroundings were safe.

She was a beautiful girl. Even though she was dirty and her clothes were tattered like rags wrapped around her body due to the harsh and cruel environment of the canyon, she was so beautiful that any man's attention would be attracted to her. Her white hair with a hint of blue and her eyes like the sky even gave people a mysterious feeling.

Such a mysterious girl...

"Wow~ This is so scary~ I really want to enjoy a snack in bed~"

It seems that her personality ruins such appearance.

The beautiful, rabbit-eared girl, feeling rather sorry, sobbed and complained for a while before slapping her cheeks to cheer herself up. "But if this continues, my family and I will become snacks for the monsters," she said, gazing intently into the depths of the canyon.

"...I have to hurry and get there, to that future, to be with those people."

The girl with rabbit ears stood up resolutely and ran in the direction she was looking at.

...A few minutes later, "Eh! I'm not tasty!" A shrill cry echoed in the canyon.

Volume 1 Extra Chapter: A Battle with Zero Chance of Winning

In the vast underground space, in the dimness that can only be illuminated by the dim light of the green light stone, two shadows are running.
