Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 1, Real World I
Plot - “Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live... A real life?”
The world changes when you click YES.
In God’s dimension, you have to keep getting stronger, keep evolving to survive one horror movie after another. Do you kill everyone in your way to reach the end as a lone king? Or fight along with your comrades and survive through the support of friends?
Everything was just for staying alive. Until you find the secret of God’s dimension. Who is the real enemy?
Terror Infinity - Side B
In a new experiment to push man to evolve, God has decided to send people into the worlds of manga, anime, light novels, visual novels and video games.
Compared to horror movies, such worlds shouldn't be as terrifying and should be easily to return from, but... You would be very, very mistaken.
Welcome to Side B of God's Dimension.
The Story so far -
Shin Kazama, an otaku disappointed in his life chose YES when God asked if he wanted to know the meaning of life and wanted to live a real life, and was transported to God's Dimension of horrors and terror in the new experiment.
Team Japan had survived their second mission BTOOOM. They had ten more days in God's Dimension to prepare for the next mission, but to their surprise one of the three newest players to Team Japan, Saki the military scientist, had come up with a startling discovery... That though temporarily, it was possible to return to the real world.
Hearing this and then after spending their points and rewards in preparation for future battles, are now about to take a trip to the real world to put their affairs in order. The day for the exchange to the real world has arrived for Shin, Hikari, Misaki, Aqua, Saki, Kamap and Shuai.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The eighth day of rest in the Terminal Lobby and the day of the voyage to the real world. Team Japan would pool together 1,500 points and a single C rank reward for thirty day stay in the real world.
Everyone was excited to be able return to the real world after the terrors and near death experiences that they have gone through, even if it was only for a short time... But there was one exception among them that didn't necessarily feel the same.
Shin: Ahhh, I so don't want to go back to the real world. If this wasn't a group trip where we had to pool our money, I mean point, I could have stayed behind.
The idea of returning to the real world for Shin waa depressing to say the least.
Shin likes, or finds purpose in God's Dimension and the Mission Worlds because they gave him a chance to grow and become someone special, but in his mind Shin still didn't believe that he had changed that much as he lacked the confidence to face the real world where he failed in once.
The only reason Shin was going along was because everyone else wanted to go and after making their exchanges to prepare for the next mission they all lacked the points and rewards for a long stay for just themselves, so it ended up as a group trip that was mandatory ( Although only I would look at this trip as a chore ).
For a full thirty days in the real world to do whatever they want and needed to do before coming back, they all needed to pitch in 200-300 points and Aqua paid the C rank reward for the group voyage. If it wasn't for the shortage of points Shin would have opted to stay behind, but since he was one of the ones paying 200 points for the trip he couldn't back down now.
Shin: Well, there is a bright side to all of this. With thirty days in the real world I can get three times the normal mission breaks to train and master my Ki and Ghoul mutation. Also... I can clear up some debts while I am there in the real world as well.
Thinking so, I was starting at my Na Ring on my finger when Aqua approached me. I greeted her and it looked like she came to ask me about something.
Aqua: I saw you come back from God and placing something in your ring not long ago. You exchanged something at the last moment?
Shin: You saw that?
Aqua: Yeah, so I was just curious. It wasn't a secret or anything, right?
Shin: No, it wasn't. I've just exchange some bars of platinum was all. My... My family if you can call it that aren't rich. My uncle and aunt just have enough from their jobs to get by and they also have a daughter to take care of. If these things can be brought back to the real world, then this is the least I can do for them since they took care of after my parents passed away.
Aqua: You seem to be awkward about this subject. You didn't like them?
Shin: Not the case at all. They just weren't what I thought of as family, but more closer to that of caretakers. Still, I just thought about using this chance to to thank them for what they have done for me. Ah, but don't worry Aqua. The day we get married you will absolutely be family to me.
Aqua: Shut it. In any case was the platinum the only thing that you exchanged?
Shin: For them yes, but not for myself. Last night I realized that I never just increased my stats alone before. That didn't sit right to mem so earlier I used my last 400 points to increase four of my stats.
Aqua: You did. Just 400 points worth of stats isn't worth the exchange in my opinion. You would have been better off saving the points for a future exchange.
Shin: Your probably right, but who doesn't increase their stats when the option is available. Light Novels where the protagonist is told that using stat points on their characters isn't effective is bullshit. Of course higher stats are better.
Aqua: Is that all you think about when your alone? Stats?
Shin: What else is there except you?
Aqau: ...
Aqua left without saying a word. Wanting to forget the awkward moment, I checked my stats one last time with God. Just looking at my amazing stats like this always bring my mood back up.
PLAYER SHIN'S STATS:
Intelligence - 209 [ +10%, +30% At Night ]
Mental Capacity - 265 [ +10%, +30% At Night ]
Cell Vitality - 610 [ +20%, +30% At Night ]
Reaction Speed - 462 [ +20%, +30% At Night ]
Muscle Density - 489 [ +10%, +30% At Night ]
Immunization Strength - 685 [ +10%, +30% At Night ]
My current stats after training and this last power up were so. Reaction Speed 462, Muscle Density 489, Intelligence 209, Mental Capacity 265, Cell Vitality 610 and Immunization 685.
Reaction Speed and Muscle Density stats were more then four times stronger than a normal person, and Cell Vitality and Immunization Strength were six and pushing up to seven time the average man. Also, while wearing the Lesser Fenrir Coat my stats increased by a further 10-30% more.
Shin: I can't help but fall in love with myself with when I have such amazing parameters, but next time I should focus on just Cell Vitality and Immunization Strength. Those two directly relate to my One-eye Ghoul mutation. The higher they are, the more I can bring out it's potential. The other stats will probably just have to increase from now from future enhancements.
After finalizing an enhancement path, I went to go check on someone.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Before it was time to set off I decided to check on Saki and her weapons development. Saki had used up almost, if not all of her points and rewards into this little project of her and every time I came to visit her illegal sweatshop, she would have more and more to show me.
Saki was able to make a lot of things, but her main focus were modern and low cost magic tools for us to use on the missions. Her goal was to have us avoid spending points needlessly on every little small thing. Handguns and low grade magic bullets were on the cheap side of exchanges, yet if you kept getting them for every mission you will see the bill piling up.
I would have to imagine it was like doing taxes every year and fainting from having found out how much you spent on food or clothes in that one year. Probably the reason why some people earnestly develop vegetable gardens in their backyards or kept chickens to raise for food.
In the eight days that Saki and her two human creations had on this break before the next mission she was able to devote in mass the following :
1. Modern Guns - Handguns, Sub Machine Guns and Hi-Spec bullets.
Instead of wasting points on unlimited ammo guns, Saki thought it was more effective to make our own bullets since the materials to make them could be acquired for cheap. After after a long period of trial and error she was able to make them, along with the latest weapons.
In the future, she say it would be a good idea to look into exchanging from God a top of the line 3D Printer, but since it cost a lot, 10,000 Points and B rank reward, ( Bbecause you can make weapons in mass for cheap ) so till we all have the freedom with points and rewards ( Which is way down the line ) we should stick to manually making them.
2. Magic Tools - In the end, it was impossible to create most of the magic tools that God has in the exchanges, not even mentioning the one that need ranked rewards, but Saki made progress on two fronts. Low grade magic bullets and talismans.
Magic bullets were simple since they just needed to etch a small magic circle and basically followed the same process as regular bullets, but needed slightly different materials. Saki had a hard time with Talismans, yet found a solution with Shuai help. Shuai didn't know it at first, but as a Shaman he could bless certain items and they would be infused with his power. Saki's problem was that even if she made exact replicas of them, they lacked the magic power to do their job. With Shuai's help though Saki found the solution to her troubles.
Shuai was then forced to stay and make Talisman and take part in other small experiments with Saki. He complained a lot, but he was happy that Saki was relying on him more as a team member.
3. A computer - To our surprise Saki was able to make a laptop computer for Hiakri as it was to replace the one that she lost in BTOOOM. As a hacker, Hikari's abilities shined the most long as she had a computer and a world that had the networks for her to break/sneak into.
The computer Saki gave to Hikari wasn't the same computer that Hikari exchanged for 100 points, but a top secret, portable computer still in the beginning development stages in the real world, but God had completed it here and could be exchanged for about 1000 points. It was the best top of the line portable laptop once could get in God's Dimension without spending rank rewards. There were more advance computers that didn't need rewards, but they were too large to carry during the missions.
And was that all?
Saki had handed Hikari a dozen such laptops in case they keep breaking. We were all shocked since they all should have costed together more then 10,000 points, but Saki had found a loop hole. Saki never actually exchanged one from God, but just made one her room.
Like weapons, long as they are not magical then it is possible to recreate anything within one's room, and from there she made copies. Saki and her human creations then made exact copies of the hardware of the computers, and just made copies of the software with a simple Memory Stick and uploaded them into the self made computers.
Shin: I would be the first to say that I was worried when Saki used all of her points and reward on everyone else except herself, yet looking at her work now I can say that it was... Almost worth it.
Saki: Ah.....
Shuai: Please let it... Just end.
When I went to check on them before the trip, Saki and Shuai had stayed up the good part of these last few days and had exhausted themselves. They were just lying against the work tables covered with bullets and unfinished products.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Shin: This vacation is really going to be a vacation for them in a lot of ways... There is also no way I can back out of this now. Also, will my Na Ring and Aqua's RPG Bag be enough for all of this... I should seriously start investing in getting another ring the next chance I get.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
All exchanges, training and are preparation to leave were over and done with. I could only look at our group that was about to depart to the real world with pride since from eight days ago there an amazing improvement. It was unlikely that any of us would face any dangers in the real world, but if any of us had to fight then we were an impressive team ready to combat anything that should get in our way.
TEAM JAPAN:
ATTACKER/CLOSE RANGE FIGHTERS - To fight/distract the enemy while fighting up close and our responsible for defeating enemies to protect the team.
1. Shin: Ki Energy, One-eye Ghoul genetic mutation, Na Ring, Gravity Blade, Lesser Fenrir Coat and Robo Cop's Auto 9 with infinite ammo.
2. Aqua: Nen/Aura, Wolverine genetic mutation, Werewolf genetic mutation and Thompson Contender Magic Code gun.
3. Misaki: Observation and Armament's Haki, and Pyrokinesis.
GUNNER/MID RANGE FIGHTER - To fight from a distance. To either support those fighting up clsoe or to decisively defeat a enemy with a power attack.
Kampa: Infinite Ammo M41A Pulse Rifle.
Saki: Guns? ( Enough to wage a war with ).
SNIPER/LONG RANGE FIGHTER - To fight from a far distance. Defeats the enemy from a distance, or has an ability that can't be used from close up.
Shuai: Low level Shaman Power.
SUPPORT/OTHER - Has a role that helps team members or plays another role.
Hikari: Support Type Persona.
Shin: If it is like this, whether it is the real world or mission world we won't lose.
Aqua: I won't go that far, but this is the most impressive team that I have been apart of after going through seven missions so far. Anyways Shin, the others are ready. Lets go.
Shin: Alright.
Aqua, Hiakri, Misaki, Saki, Kampa and Shuai and myself were all gathered in the platform of the Terminal Lobby. Packed and ready to go, Saki who was the best at these tedious tasks went over one last time what we will do once we make it to the real world.
Saki: One last time then. After we make the exchange to vo back we should find ourselves in the location that God sent us that message on the computer and choose YES to. From there we will contact each other once we make it back and confirm that we all made it safely and that there was are problems. Does everyone remember where you all were before coming here?
Shin: Yes. I was in my room.
Aqua: I remember.
Hikari: I was at my school.
Misaki: Same as Shin. In my room.
Kampa: Some café. I don't remember the name, but I can find my way around no problem.
Shuai: An apartment near my old college.
Saki: Good. Then after going back we will check up on each other by phone, and from there it will be free time for the next two weeks. Go home, hang out with families and friends, but mostly importantly make sure of your two objectives in this down time are complete. We will compare answers at a later time.
Misaki: Sheesh! We remember already. You don't have to keep bringing it up.
The objective Saki meant was for us to confirm two things.
1. Check to see if our enhancements, items and humans creations ( Only Misaki is bring his ) can come with us to the real world. This was to prove if 'Back to the Origin' exchange was true when the time come that we have 50,000 points arrives.
2. Suspect everything. Through the knowledge of how Mokoto, Misaki's human creation was based on his memory and not the person herself, Saki suspected that we could all just be going to a fake world like H.OT.D and BTOOOM! that is just based on our memories.
If just one person went to the real or fake world, if it is based on memory then it was unlikely that one person could discern the truth, but with multiple individuals with their own sets of memories of the world around them, it'll be easier to see the truth.
I have to add, it is very possible for God to make copies of each other and send us to exclusive world based on our memories, but if we have to even suspect that then you have to wonder if the real world that we each have always known and experienced till now was a Matrix of some sort. It just never ends once your think is on that line of thought.
Saki: Two weeks. After two weeeks passed and we have settled or in the middle of settling all of our real world affairs, we will all meet up once to compare notes. I'll choose a place within a few days of us arriving in the real world. That is about it.
Shin: Ok then. Lets all make the exchanges and get this show on the road. Next stop... The real world!

We all choose the the second option and pulled our points and rewards. Aqua paid the C rank reward and the rest of us put up 200-300 points, for a total of 1500 points. Then once the exchange was finalized, 20 beam of light just like when we all go on mission were shoot down by the ball of light, God.
- Enter the beams within thirty seconds. Target locked. Beginning teleportation to the Real World...
Hiakri held onto my hand tightly in the final moments before we entered the beams of light. I didn't question why as I already had an idea why she was acting so nervous, so I said nothing and just held her hand tighter.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
After communicating with God, they all finally exchanged for time in the real world and walked over to the beams and... And blank.
Everything in front of Shin flashed for a moment, then he fell into a half awake state. Time passed by, perhaps it was just a blink of an eye or perhaps it was took very long. By the time he woke up Shin was standing inside his old room at his uncles house.
This was the place Shin slept and called home since the accident that tool his family, so this was the real world, and beside him... Hiakri who was holding onto his hand was gone and so where the others. They must have all appeared where they were all taken from originally. Shin was hoping that if he held onto her that she would appear with him because...
Shin: I never did bring over a girl to me room before. Well, there will be chances later.
Shin didn't want to admit to anyone he was nervous about coming back, so he joked to himself. He then took a deep breath to relax and took in his surroundings. Shin looked out the window saw the backyard of the house. The weather was sunny, a flock of pigeons flew by, the peaceful atmosphere and the the voices from the the neighborhood kids.
This was the world he grew up in. A place without monsters, zombies, or BIMs. A place without the endless horrors he had come to both love and fear. The peaceful and dull world he hated, yet was somewhat glad to see again... Yet this world didn't feel familiar. Not because of what Saki feared, that this was a virtual world or anything, but because it belonged to his previous life. After struggling in the horrors, he finally came back reborn, or at least different. As Shin was looking around his room with surprising longing, some information from God appeared in his brain. This was the information God gave him to tell him the rules of visiting the real world.
- RULES FOR RETURNING TO THE REAL WORLD FOR PLAYERS:
1. WITHIN THE THIRTY DAYS IN THE REAL WORLD, A PLAYER CAN NOT MENTION ANYTHING PERTAINING TO GOD’S DIMENSION TO AN OUTSIDER FROM THAT REALM AND HAD NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF, OTHERWISE HE/SHE, AND EVERYTHING THAT BELONGED TO THEM WOULD BE ERASED.
2. AT THE END OF THIRTY DAYS THE PLAYER/PLAYERS MUST COME BACK TO THIS ROOM, THE ENTRY/RETURN POINT, SO GOD CAN TRANSPORT THE PLAYER BACK. THERE WILL BE A NINETY MINUTE WINDOW STARTING FROM 10:30 AT NIGHT WHERE THE ENTRY/RETURN POINT WILL BE ACTIVE. AT THE SAME TIME SAID PLAYER MUST BE IN CONTACT WITH EVERYTHING THAT BELONGED TO THEM, OTHERWISE THOSE ITEMS WOULD BE LEFT IN THIS WORLD. IF THE ITEM COULD ONLY BE OBTAINED FROM GOD’S DIMENSION, THEN IT WOULD BE ERASED.
3. ADDITIONALLY, AS THIS IS A GROUP VOYAGE TO THE REAL WORLD, PLAYERS MAY ALSO USE THE ENTRY/RETURN POINT LOCATION OF ANOTHER PLAYER TO RETURN TO GOD'S DIMENSION. IF SAID PLAYER HAD DIED IN THE REAL WORLD THEN THAT LOCATION WILL BECOME INOPERABLE.
Shin: That means I can't say anything about that place, must come back here in thirty days, and must be holding onto all my exchanged items. I can also use one of the others locations to return to the God's Dimension which is convenient.... So this...This means that I am truly back.

Authors Note:
Rate/Follow/Favourite/Comment.
I just want to say this here. Due to getting distracted by watching the anime and reading the light novel of Rokka no Yuusha for the first time, and other great works I have just discovered for the first time I got distracted from writing, and my motivation for this arc that was never that high... fell. Also, getting laid off didn't help, but whatever. I already got a new job.
Also, I fell into depression when I heard about Volume 11 of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai light novel where the author FUCKED all of his loyal fans, or had a stroke yet could still write, which they shouldn't have let him. I really hope it isn't the last, but I am not hopefull.
Anyways and back to my FF, this arc is good enough, but not as good, by I mean the battles don't compare to BTOOOM, so just warning all my fans. I would still advise you to read it and not skip over it though since it is decently long ( Long as BTOOOM somehow ) and I didn't even want it to be so long, and it is interesting in the end... Hopefully.
