Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 49, HxH Greed Island NEXT

The third day of the Terminal Lobby had arrived. The previous day myself along with the rest of Team Japan had completed our exchanges from God and reached a whole new level in ability. The damage of the previous mission couldn't be completely healed with just new gear and abilities, yet it helped raise our spirits and endure the loss of three important comrades. We were by no means stronger than ever, but we were still strong.

Shin going over Team Japan's improvements in his mind couldn't help, but be impressed. If you just skimmed through their profiles it might not look too impressive, but being there when each member of his team powered up with new skills, magic spells, weapons, and other abilities told him that his team was not weak. That's why even he had no hesitation in doing what has to come next.

Shin: "...There's nothing to pick at wrong here. Kisara, there's no need for any further enhancements. Let's go to the Real World."

Kisara: "Yes, but are you certain? I still have 1000 points, so-"

Shin: "A thousand points can't do too much Kisara. Sure you can use it to increase a stat by 100, but it makes a small difference in the long run once you reach a certain level of strength like Aqua and myself who use energy and the like to boost our abilities along with our physical stats and mutations. Instead we should just use them elsewhere."

Shin then lead a still conflicted Kisara to make their final exchange. Her doubts wasn't because of their plan to visit the real world was a mistake, but because she was a girl full of doubts over the smallest things that you wouldn't expect. Kisara is normal a brave war maiden when she fights on the front line with her katana in hand ready to slay her enemies, yet with things that involve herself like her points being used for herself and whether she was good enough to fight others she would lose confidence. It was a kind of problem that he never saw in Hikari or Aqua, but Shin didn't mind it at all. Shin found the contrast to show off Kisara's cute side and relived him in knowing that the peerless beauty before him was not perfect. Definitely too good for him, but was far from a perfect existence that he shouldn't approach.

Shin and Kisara arrived under the glowing orb of light called God and also waiting for them there were their other comrades. Aqua, Hikari, Shuai, Connor and Jin. Even though it was going to be a short trip and one that should literally pass by in the blink of the eye for those staying behind they still wanted to see the two off. They agreed not to travel with the two to the real world, but all the same they all still wanted to see them off. Maybe due to what happened to Shin and Saki in the real world this trip made them nervous, yet one of the people in question found their concerns just that. Concerns. As long as Kisara and himself stayed away from the Four Pillars, the real world was hardly a threat to such powerful individuals like them.

Jin: "Hey, how does this work? Moving into another dimension time wise. You can spend a month in the Real World, yet to us it’s a few seconds. I also heard that time moved normally while you were in this dimension before arriving in the Real World. What about other teams and how it effects their time and space? What about the Mission Worlds? Maybe whenever a team leaves for the real world time stops, but us Players just never notice and-"

Shin: "Enough! I didn't go to college, so I don't want to hear about this time and space theory nonsense. Now, Kisara and I will be leaving for the real world for a few days, but we'll be back in an instant. If there are no questions then the two of us will be off."

Aqua: "I have one. Isn't there an option to not make your return instant?"

Hikari: "I want to know that too. I need a long absence from a certain otaku leader if you know what I mean. His flirting with his new woman is annoying."

Shin: "..."

Shin turned away in silence from the two woman he loved... for some reason, and one he couldn't remember at this time and closed his eyes. He connected to God and opened up the Voyage Section in the Entertainment Category to look up his options and had Kisara do the same.

Previous World Voyage - Able to visit and spend time anywhere in the previous Mission World. Requires 10 Points per day. A D rank reward is required to permanently unlock that world or any other Mission World.

World Voyage - Able to visit and spend time anywhere in any Mission World. Requires 50 Points per day and a D rank reward is required to permanently unlock that world or any other Mission World. Future visits will just require 50 Points per day.

The Player will have to return to this location once the duration of the trip is over. Requires 50 Points per day and D rank reward unlock the world. Future visits will only require 50 Points per day.

Real World Group Voyage - Able to visit and spend time in the Real World. The Player/Players will appear at the location where they were before being transported to this God's Dimension, or may choose to another Player's Entry/Return Point to use. The Player will have to return to this location once the duration of the trip is over. Can also use another Player's location to return to the real world and return back to God's Dimension. Requires 50 Points per day and C rank reward. Points and rewards can be pulled for this exchange for multiple Player voyages.

Shin: "Kisara, choose the normal real world option. The group option is too expensive. You can save points, but the C rank reward requirement is too much unless you’re leaving in a group of three or more for the first time. With your 1000 points pay for ten days for the both of us and I'll unlock the world for you with a D rank reward. I've already confirmed it and it doesn't conflict with our restriction to not use points to enhance others just one time."

Kisara: "Okay."

The Player will have to return to this location once the duration of the trip is over. Requires 50 Points per day and D rank reward unlock the world. Future visits will only require 50 Points per day.

- Enter the beams within thirty seconds. Target locked. Beginning teleportation to the Real World...

The two of us confirmed our purchase with God and everything was set to go as beams of light were shot down by God towards the floor. Ten days in the real world awaited us once we step into those beams and with no hesitation Kisara and I walked over to the beams and... and just blank.

Everything in front of my eyes flashed for a moment, then I naturally fell into the half-awake state. Time passed by, perhaps it was just a blink of an eye or perhaps it was took very long. When I woke up I was standing inside my old room at my uncle’s house once more and the light from the sun coming from the window made feel that it was late morning or early afternoon. This was the place I once slept and called home since the accident that took away my family, so this was surely the real world and not the world of Manga and Anime that I've been experiencing so far.

This was the world I grew up in. A place without monsters, zombies, BIMs, Diseased Girls, Nen users and enemy teams. A place without the endless horrors I had come to both love and fear. The peaceful and dull world I hated, yet was somewhat glad to see again... but now I now knew better. Underneath the surface of this seemingly normal world was a not so normal one. A battle between literal superpowers and dark organizations that to simply put were secretly ruling and distorting the real world.

Shin: "I'm stronger than the last time I was here, but I'm still nothing compared to the monsters standing at the top of the Four Pillars. It's best to avoid them."

Cautioning himself of that Shin heard a familiar notification from God about the rules of returning to the real world.

- RULES FOR RETURNING TO THE REAL WORLD FOR PLAYERS:

1. WITHIN THE TEN 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 TEN 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.

Shin: "It's all the same as before, but... this time I absolutely have to return here in ten days. I guess I can't use Kisara's return point as this is not a Group Voyage... wait!"

Shin in a flash of inspiration rushed over towards the computer in his room. It was the very same computer that delivered the message from God that began everything for him. A beginning that would show him hope and terrors the likes he could never have imagined. Shin thought about the possibility of just taking the computer with him and relocating his entry and return point and moved his hands over the computer to receive a new message from God.

- ENTRY AND RETURN POINT. MUST RETURN TO THIS LOCATION IN TEN DAYS TIME. THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS COMPUTER WILL DESTROY THE ENTRY AND RETURN POINT AND A NEW ONE MUST BE SET WITHIN 24 HOURS, OR FACE BEING ERASED.

Shin: "How did I miss this before? Ah, I actually never used my computer the last time I was here as I spent all my time training or planning crimes... does this mean that I'm no longer an introverted otaku?"

Shin was amused at the thought and then moved on to destroying his once cherished computer. He had to beg his Uncle to get the computer and maintain it, but now it had no value to him as he can buy a better one from the Exchange System of God, had three girlfriends, and was in his own right an aspiring main stream, or dark Anime main character. The compute was destroyed in a way that wasn't obvious from the outside since Shin didn't want his family to know he was home and left from the window of his room. His next destination was the home of his third wife to be Kisara.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Real World - Day 9 of 10.

Shin was staring out into the distance with a solemn look across his face. A variety of feelings were swirling under the surface that was anything far from calm, yet his face wouldn't show it. A few things had happened since arriving to Kisara's home. Kisara lived in an amazing home/dojo that looked exactly like Ryozanpaku and it initially excited Shin to no end at first, yet as they days passed and he tried to do what he came to the real world for... to honor his comrades in some way... and failing to do so his spirits and motivation to do any were lost as each day passed.

After leaving his home in the real world Shin took a taxi ride all the way towards Kisara's home planning to stay there for the full ten days in the real world. The drive was very long as Kisara didn't live close to her and it would have been faster to move by train or bus, but wanting the privacy needed to keep his head down while in the real world he chose this method of transportation. It took a full day of driving and money a normal person unlike Shin would call expensive, yet being in no rush and having all the money in the world Shin was not concerned.

Shin arrived at Kisara’s home almost in the middle of the night, yet there to greet him and wearing what she called her home attire, a beautiful kimono that brought out all sorts of feelings within a modern Japanese man like himself. Seeing the peerless beauty after a long drive and being greeted by such a kind and diligent woman made Shin almost lose control and embrace her then and there, but he refrained from doing so. Shin and Kisara had only kissed once, so he couldn't just go further than that if the mood isn't right... and this was not such a time.

Shin had come to the real world with a purpose in mind. To check in on the families of his comrades and resolve the conflicted feeling within his own heart. The former was obvious, yet the latter was not. As a leader Shin had to prepare for the loss of comrades on their journey in God's Dimension, has already experienced the loss of good comrades like Saki and Zero, yet the latest mission took too much from him and all at once. The deaths of Kampa, Misaki, and Renji weighed on Shin's mind greatly and so he thought that making sure the family of his loss comrades were fine above all else would allow him to feel better... and it did not and in fact only became worse.

Staring from the second day Shin went to work. Shin set the same computer Kisara used as her Entry and Return Point as his own as well and used it along with his vast currency from God to put his plan into action. Under a different name Shin set up a bank account (Jin somehow knew how to do this) and hired the best private investigator that money could buy to find out as much information about the families of his comrades as possible and with an emphasis on their financial situations.

At this time Shin was iffy about actually calling his those families just to say their loved ones were dead. Shin had been hoping recently that he would one day discover a method to bring back to life his fallen comrades. There was no such ability in the Exchange System aside from spells that could revive someone minutes after death, but there was no power to revive after so much time had passed, or at least he had never seen one in the vast sea of God's Exchanges, so it was possible that there was one. Still, if a family was in desperate need of support than he would tell the truth and try his hardest to make sure they were taken care of... but as it turned out he was unneeded.

◆ Shin's family: Were fine as well and living to the fullest.

◆ Hikari's family: Still in police custody and were well taken care of.

◆ Aqua's family: Dead.

◆ Misaki's family: Were human trash, but were very well off. Misaki's sister Ren was a concern, but Misaki said he had already made plans for her wellbeing despite having worthless parents.

◆ Saki's family: Dead.

◆ Shuai's family: His father was very strict and after saying that he had become a shaman Shuai was disowned for not following in his father's business path.

◆ Zero's family: Dead.

◆ Kampa's family: His wife was the only daughter of a billionaire, so both her and their son were more than taken care of.

◆ Renji's family: Renji's two parents were successful businesses men and woman. They were in shock over their son's disappearance but they didn't stop working and acted as if nothing was wrong. Shin didn't know how to feel about this, but there was no grave reason to contact them.

Five days after hiring the investigator results from his search came in and as it turned out there was no need for a hero to sweep in and save the day. Each family in one way or another were financially safe and in no need of assistance, or were just dead. There was really no need to try and contact them. Especially when Shin still had some hope for something like a Revival Quest Item, but on the eighth day, yesterday Shin resolved himself to contact one family.

The family of his best friend Misaki. His family were well off yet there was a serious neglect when their children were concerned. Misaki and Ren's father was enjoying his new life alone after divorcing his wife with a new lover and were expecting a child. Their mother was a workaholic who ignored her children despite having custody of them. Shin didn't have a good reason, but felt compelled to call this family. He didn't know what he was hoping for by bring such terrible new like the death of a son, but maybe they would cherish their daughter more in his absence.

Shin failed to keep his promise with Ren to keep Misaki alive, yet thought it was better for her to have caring parents despite whatever sadness the news brings... but Shin was shocked in a way that he could never had expected. Misaki's parents just didn't care. When Shin called Misaki's father he sounded a little drunk, but still of sound and disturbing mind to say that he didn't care if his only son had died. Shin called Misaki's mother after a few dozen unanswered attempts and was even more disgusted by what he heard from her mouth. The mother said it was expected of Misaki who had become a thug and took more after his father then her to die on the streets where she presumed that he died. Over that call Shin lost it after remembering all the times his friend had bravely risked his life for his teammates and cursed the mother out till she hung up on him.

And now the present.

Shin: "...Just what did I come here for?"

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

As far as Shin was concerned the trip to the real world was a waste. Shin still trained during there's nine days and successful converted one third of his Advance Ki with the new energy flow of Black Heaven & Earth Technique, by doing so obtained a greater source of power and deeper understanding of the purpose of the technique, yet everything that he had desired to do, accomplish was in vain. Putting aside personal feelings every family was managing just fine on their own. Hikari's family was also a concern as they were still police custody in witness protection, yet Shin did not have the power to help them.

Shin: "...This is fine in its own way. If no one needs saving or help then isn't that a great thing? Actually, hoping for the opposite and acting as hero just to feel better was wrong. It's just survivor’s guilt. My own problems are my own and I just have to live with them from now on. Maybe... the feelings that death of a comrade brings aren't supposed to ever get better, but are just to be remembered. As long as you don't forget, but keep moving forward, you’re honoring your comrades just by living one day to the next."

Shin, without meaning to said some profound words, yet he didn't know if he believed them. Even if they were right he still wanted to do more, but now realizing such thoughts were consuming his mind he put a stop to them. Going any further than he already has would be solely for himself and not his comrades and there would be no end to it. It was then as he felt that it was time to just go back where his living comrades are waiting for him that Kisara called for him.

Kisara: "Shin if you don't mind will you come with me?"

Shin: "Sure, but what is it?"

Kisara: "I... want to introduce you to my father."

Shin was confused at first, but then understand what she meant followed after her as she lead him she outside. Every day since they arrived in the real world in Kisara would go off alone to visit her family grave site not too far away from her home. Kisara had yet to invite Shin along, so this was the first time. Shin obediently followed Kisara outside her home having no reason to refuse or anything else to do.

Shin, after a ten minute walk, arrived to Kisara's family grave and arrived before a particular well-kept grave stone when compared to the others nearby. He had to wonder about a graveyard so close by and exclusively to her family according to Kisara, but it was probably just one of those tradition of her family. Shin didn't even know how to ask, but he could imagine that all the warriors of Kisara's family who practiced Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu were to be buried here at this site after death.

Kisara: "Were you surprised how close this grave was?"

Shin: "I guess. I didn't think that it was too far since you walked there every day, but you were gone for more than a few hours each time, so I was under the impression that it was further from your home."

Kisara: "I was just spending a lot of time here to make up for my previous absences. Shameful, right. I avoided coming to visit here despite how close it was. I even needed something like the terrors of God's Dimension to get me to come visit for the first time since the funeral."

Shin: "I wouldn't go that far, Kisara. After my own family died I didn't visit their grave more than a handful of times and the first time was over six months after the burial. Time isn't a solution to everything, but it helps in these kinds of situations in my opinion."

Kisara felt a little relieved to hear those words and began to seriously pray in silence before her father's grave and seeing this Shin followed her example. Shin had issues with god or one certain God for a few matters and he had never met Kisara's father before, so it was hard for him to show his respects. As he didn't know what kind of man Kisara's father was outside of what he told Shin gave some thoughts on what he should say, or should have if he had ever met the man and thought of two things. One was that he was thankful to him for bring up such an amazing swordsman and woman like Kisara and the other he hopes that he would have accepted his and Kisara's relationship. That he was somewhat worthy of her... and that he could let adding Kisara to his harem plan slide since he cared for her.

Shin and Kisara soon left the family grave site. Shin out of curiosity asked Kisara what she was saying to her father and was surprised by her answer. Kisara without falsehood was happily introducing Shin to her deceased father as her husband, new master of the household and that she would become a good wife and sword for him. She additionally said that he was a good man and already had a loving family with two other woman who she got along with. Shin hearing this had mixed feeling. Shin was happy Kisara felt that way about him but on the other hand...

Shin: (Am I going to be haunted by her father? His only daughter had join an otaku's harem in the makings… if it was me I’d escape heaven, become a sword wielding ghost, and show this no good man not to touch other people's daughter.)

Kisara: "Shin?"

Kisara noticed a conflicted expression on Shin's face and called out to him. Shin woke up from his delusions of fighting the ghost sword master and wishing he asked Shuai about shaman techniques hearing Kisara voice. Shin too embarrassed to tell what he was just thinking laughed it off as nothing, yet a worried expression crossed Kisara's face and she stopped walking. Shin took a few steps forward before he realized what had happened and looked back towards Kisara.

Shin: "Kisara?"

Kisara: "Shin... you don't regret anything do you?"

Shin: "What do you mean?"

Kisara: "...I'm aware that I was a bit forceful in approaching you. I also know that you didn't understand my intentions of becoming your sword, which equaled entering a relationship with you. Now it was only after I calmed down and thought about it did I realize what I had done."

Shin: "..."

Kisara: "I... liked you from the first day we met and from there with each passing day it snowballed till it had become love. The reasons were simple. You looked past my good looks that normally made others nervous and didn't reject my swordsmanship. You also said that you'll give me a place to improve my sword techniques and you did so by allowing me into your group. I failed a lot, but you kept believing in me. To fall so in love so easily might make me seem like an easy woman to you, that I would have fallen for the first guy who honestly praised me. Maybe I would have, but I can say for certain that because it's you that I want to become your sword... and hopefully more. That's why Shin, I hope that if this arrangement isn't too your liking your free to end it, but at the very least-"

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Her words were stopped right there as Shin rushed forward and kissed her. Kisara was surprised by this action and didn't know what to do. She had once kissed Shin in the heat of the moment, but she has no experience in being on the defending side in such an embrace. As a pure maiden deep at heart she really had no idea what to do, or say even as Shin stepped backed.

Shin: "Kisara... you really think too much of me. I fell for your looks the moment I saw you wake up on that first day. I fell for your sword only because it was the style of my favorite swordsman. I came to like you as we talked and fought together, and... I came to love you when all those feeling came together when you kissed me. I honestly can't help but think you took pity on me during my time of depression, you were just impressed with my inhuman powers that aren't even close to the strongest once you learn the truth of this world, or that you're so inexperienced with the opposite sex that you can't judge a good man who would care for you and a harem bastard like myself. Still, it's too late to try and back out of this Kisara. Your my woman. I'm quite the possessive man if you haven't noticed. Even if it was a halfhearted kiss from that moment you've become mine. I have no interest in just dating and moving on for you to one day be with another man. I won't even like it if I somehow died and years later you start dating another man. We didn't have a ceremony Kisara, but it really is death do us part, but without the parting. Even in death we'll be together... so don't worry about such small things. Your aggressiveness that time was no mistake and I love that side of you... so please follow me as my sword. Whether I reach almightiness, you in act your revenge successfully, or death within that dimension... we'll be together to the end.”

Kisara began to tear up hearing Shin's heartfelt confession. There were so many things wrong with it, but his feelings came across just the same. Shin honestly loved Kisara once he finally admitted it. He probably the type who fall for girls to easily as long as something about them stands out like in the cases of Aqua and Hikaril, yet his feelings were not any less than if he sought after just one woman. Some women can't believe that a man can love more than one woman, but men are simple creatures who seek out women.

As a wise man once said, while women can only give birth to one man's child at a time men can father more than one child with multiple woman at a time. Even if such a sentiment was harsh and sexist, but at the very least Shin thought he was more honest and real than most protagonist from Manga and Anime who obviously liked more than one woman, but after dating one pretends to only like the one woman. In his opinion, it was definitely better to be up front about such feeling than to get married to one amazing woman and later having an affair with another amazing woman.

Sex is a temptation that leads to the end of some relationships, yet not all relationships end because of sex or even falling out of love. Sometimes forcing a relationship into standard rules and not being honest could lead to a break up. When there are amazing beauties all around a healthy young man who all have interesting personalities as well, and above all have fictional heroine like characteristics how can that youth say with a clear heart that he just wants one? It may be socially wrong in the modern age, but emotionally it wasn't wrong.

Shin: "Kisara, I want you as my sword, but I also want you as a woman even more. I also happen to like other woman, but if you'll have me-"

Kisara: "Yes! That was far from the proposal that I've always dreamt of as a little girl but it'll do."

Shin: "...That's good. So now what? It's official, so should we go back to your father's grave to tell him?"

Kisara: "No its fine. All you'll end up doing is making sure that when we finally pass on in life you'll get stabbed in the back by a katana."

Not expecting to hear his earlier worries from Kisara own mouth scared Shin about the hopefully far off future and he renewed his promise to learn shaman techniques from Shuai. Once that passed, an extremely fluffy and pink atmosphere surrounded the two. Shin and Kisara we having confessed their love to one another couldn't look each other in the eye like a shy newborn couple as they returned to Kisara's home. This feeling didn't disappear as night came and not remembering who made the first move the two slept together for the first time.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The tenth and final day in the real world passed by in a flash. Shin and Kisara simply enjoyed each other’s company whether it was training or going on walks together. Shin was feeling rejuvenated from his earlier depression, yet it wasn't like those thoughts had disappeared. He knew that he didn't accomplish anything of worth by coming to the Real World expect for converting one third of his Ki with the new Ki Manual.

Shin didn't accomplish anything great like he was hoping for, but he had found additional motivation to keep moving forward in the face of his comrades’ deaths in Kisara. Some part of him felt bad for moving on, but he wouldn't allow himself to forget the memories of his comrades and the pain of their deaths. They were all reminders of what he had to look forward to by living to the next day and what would happen if he wasn't resolved enough to acquire power.

Shin: (I desired to one day become an Over Powered main character, but someday isn't good enough. I have to become stronger than all my rivals within God's Dimension. The next time there's a team battle I won't be so passive. I learned from my mistakes. I won't discard the possibility of peace with other teams, but I won't expect it. I go in with the mindset to wipe the other team... and if it comes to it I'll commit evil for the sake of my comrades! Justice... exist unlike what God claims, but for all of us justice demands power to carry it and in the lack of that power...)

Shin’s answer was not one set in stone. He was still naive. He was still weak in a world where other were constantly growing in strength just to survive. That's why all Shin knew as he stood next to Kisara before her computer as it was final time to return to their comrades was this.

Shin: (For those that get in my way... Team Japan's way... whether the false God or fellow teams... I'll destroy them all!)

And with that Shin and Kisara returned to God's Dimension to confront future battles.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

After Shin and Kisara returned from the real world Team Japan resumed their preparations for the next mission. They had spent a full ten days in the real world, but for those who stayed behind only an instant had passed which meant that they still has seven days to prepare since it was still there third day of break and the final day the new mission from God will be assigned. Shin along with everyone else had already made their exchanges, so with the exception of preparing basic gear and supplies for any type of environment they may be thrown in there was only one thing left for Shin, Aqua, Hikari, Shuai, Connor, Jin, and Kisara to do... train.

They had all gained new abilities, so they needed to see how far they could master them before the next mission and this was especially true of Kisara and Shin. Kisara, despite having formal sword training from a young age, was still a Newbie with much to learn. As for Shin he had acquired a unique B tier enhancement from God that still needed just a long time to just adjust to before he could even begin to dive into the uncertainties of his new power. Similar to most A tier enhancements it was a power that required hard work and talent rather than the immediate boost of powers like previous enhancements had given him.

And like so those eight days passed and improvements were seen all around Team Japan.

◆ Hikari - Hikari had acquired the most new abilities during this round of enhancements. The ability to use Mana, the genetics of a Cyber Newtype, Psyche Force Scan, three new magic spell buffs, and the spell to heal all physical wounds Arcangel's Breath.

Psyche Force Scan had similar functions as her Persona to scan an area, but was more detailed, didn't exhaust her as much to keep it active, and could be used while moving to some degree. At first glance Psyche Force completely surpassed all the abilities of her Persona with the exception of the Game Map ability, yet Persona showed it's true worth in conjunction with Psyche Force Scan.

When used together their abilities merged and allowed for an even more amazing ability to be born within the Game Map and Enemy Detection. The Game Map like app that's uploaded into another's mind was for one more detailed due to the Psyche Force Scan and no longer needed to be constantly updated unless additional information was desired to be added to the maps rather than for any small changes. Enemy Detection was also upgraded to show greater depth of a person's alignment and hostility wouldn't be missed even if the person had no ill feelings towards Hikari or the team.

Mana allowed Hikari to empower her body similarly to Ki, but to a lesser extent than it due to Ki being close to a physical enhancement being pure life energy than the magic energy of Mana, but it had its benefits. Mana enhanced the effects of her magic spells to various degrees, so even without stacking three magic buffs as she has previously learned to do an individual can gain a boost. According to Hikari the basic effects of all her spells were multiple by five which was amazing, but she had to be in Uncooked Mode for it to work Hikari could still stack three spells together, so when even a normal person is blessed by the effects of all her magic buffs together they would reach a level of power comparable to a Player who has survived well over five missions, but just without any worthwhile enhancements.

As a Cyber Newtype Hikari gained a heightened mental awareness. It was below what a true Newtype could achieve, but it was not insignificant and had none of the well-known drawbacks of an artificial Newtype. Whether Psyche Force Scan or Persona, when she used any ability she became extremely sensitive to her surroundings and the range of her most detailed scans increased. Going further Hikari didn't even need to acquire a skill like Soul Link which links minds to notice the change of emotions for those around her, and long as she memorizes a person's mental wave she could sense if something was wrong with any comrade even if none her abilities were in an inactive state.

◆ Aqua - Aqua's enhancements; Werewolf Bloodline, Wolverine Mutation, and Nen were already in the B-A tier range and this time around to become more versatile and improve her weakness acquired a magic spell and a skill. The magic spell, Judgement of the Moon Goddess was an attack spell with an AOE option. The longer the spell was charged the more power the attack would become. The AOE option was tested within Aqua's basement training room and everyone watched with excitement... and fear the next second. The AOE option took the shape a white orb of light in the skies above as if taking the place of the full moon and shined down light that grew stronger by the second and when it had reached its peak... to simplify, Aqua had to redesign her large and open training room. Aqua had obtained another ability, the skill Focused State of Mind and it was a B tier skill, yet it didn't right away showcase its worth. By reforming her mind Aqua had, at the very least, succeed in temporarily transforming into her werewolf form, yet the monster wolf form still alluded her.

◆ Shuai - Shuai had gained an item to increase his ability to utilize his Earth Spirit Gnome, yet his recent efforts for improvement have been somewhere else having gained the Spirit Possession and Oversoul enhancements.  Shuai had acquired an empty copy of Kampa's soul to use which is now referred to as the mercenary soul by everyone. It didn't have his memories, yet retained his mercenary skills gained in his life time to some extent which he had access to.

Spirt Possession allowed Shuai to fuse with the mercenary soul. Shuai couldn't become a replacement for Kampa, but in the fused state had gained the proficient skills of an experienced solider. With Oversoul Shuai fused the mercenary soul with his the M14A-M Pulse Rifle left behind by Kampa rather than himself. This technique consumes a lot of spiritual power in a short span of time so it wasn't a weapon that could be used regularly yet, but when it was time to use it, it had power comparable to a low level C tier weapon.

◆ Connor - Connor's improvements with the B-Class Trigger, Demon Eye of Encroachment, and Demonic Weapon Augmentation were simple and to the point. Demonic Weapon Augmentation Increased the power of all weapons it reinforced, but all weapons aside from triggers would lose their function after a few uses. The new trigger increased his amount of Trion by ten times and improved the capabilities of his Trion Body. In a test where Connor used his demon eye to stare his comrades down they were all frozen in place and this ability extended no matter how far he was looking from. It imprinted fear into those in his sights and slowed down moment. It was the perfect ability to use when a sniper loses the element of surprise according to Connor.

◆ Jin - Jin aimed for three things after raising his Whole Enhancement, Elementary Magic Power to Intermediate Magic Power. The first was increasing his standard fighting power with a magic gun and a magic staff that increased the strength of his spells. The other was crowd control, the ability to control or hinder enemy moments with the Quagmire magic spell. The last was to increase his survivability with the Mana Shield spell.

◆ Kisara - After acquiring the dexterity related mutation of a Pandora, the additional energy for Low Class Hunter Nen on top of the Aura she had already cultivated, and an amazing B tier sword in Shusui Kisara's close range combat prowess skyrocketed. Kisara, from the very beginning, was a powerful warrior having mastered Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, but with the enhancements of a mutation and energy, even low level D tier ones allowed her to fight side by side along anyone in Team Japan.

Shin had on one occasion fought Kisara and almost lost to his shock. Shin was a free style fighter without years of foundation in fighting like Kisara, so just showing the slightest opening would allow her to overwhelm him. It was only due to his variety of abilities that took her by surprise and her own inexperience in super human battles that allowed Shin to keep his pride as Team Japan’s ace fighter, but he knew the day was coming that Kisara would claim the spot of Team Japan's strongest close range fighter.

Lastly, Shin and the others eventually understood the strength of Kisara's seemingly plain B tier sword Shusui. The katana lacked any real special abilities other than the ability to absorb energy to increase its natural abilities, yet they soon discovered why such a sword was a B tier weapon alongside Kampa’s Unicorn Beam Magnum and Aqua's Thompson Contender Mystic Code. Shusui was simply strong. Even without additional reinforcement Shusui in practice match between Shin and Kisara nicked his Gravity Blade sword that had high durability as a magic weapon.

The katana defied all logic even in a world of sci-fi weapons and magic with its durability and sharpness without magic enhancements. Some say a weapon is a weapon, but Shuai was not just a weapon, it was a masterpiece from a fictional world where swords still have their place in a world where guns and even superpowers exist. Shusui was superior to a lot of weapons that relied of technology or magic power, but only in the hands of a master as it was still a plain sword without magic powers. It was up to its wielder to make sure that the plain and strong sword became a strong power and not a liability, and Kisara was up to such a task.

And lastly there was him. Team Japan's leader Shin.

◆ Shin - Shin had acquired four different things from God. First was a new sci-fi gun Devil Sealed Gun. It was a large pistol with firepower comparable to the Gauss Pistol and Jin's Mana Gun, yet had the additional property of a magic effect where 3% of all hits cause a Curse effect. Shin had yet to test this effect on a living target but when the effect surprising took effect when he was practicing and hit a metal plate the plate began to rust over quickly and a strange dark shadow could been seen hovering around the plate. Seeing this he could only imagine what would happen on a living target.

Shin obtained two new skills and one of which a skill gained at a discount due to Skill Mastery, One Sword Style, 36 Pound Cannon, a sword technique to send a wind blade of compressed air. Shin could now use it outside Unlocked Mode and didn't use as much Ki, yet placed a burden on his body with each use. This showed Shin that without the necessary stats/physical abilities it may be impossible to use some skills, or they will have a weakened effect.

The second ability was one that Shin enjoyed using more than the previous amazing sword technique as of late, Void Instant Movement. It was a new foot technique that allowed Shin to execute Instant Movement, but instead of the ground he could kick off the very air itself and move over thirty meters in one jump, more than three times the standard distance of the original technique. Void Instant Movement was a great technique, yet consumed far more Ki than its predecessor and like with his sword technique placed a burden of his body which restricted him to ten uses in a short period of time and if pushed over twenty times in Unlocked Mode his legs would go numb or worse... yet Shin didn't mind his current limitations as he flew in the air. The feeling of flying through the air even if it wasn't real flight was one of his best experiences in life and he promised to one day reach the level where he can fly through the sky with Void Instant Movement without recoil or limit.

The last enhancement that Shin acquired was the Ki Cultivation Manual, Black Heaven & Earth Technique. At first Shin only knew that the new Ki of the Black Heaven & Earth Technique regenerated fast and was excellent at controlling Ki, yet after training the last twenty day in both the real world and Terminal Lobby and converting two-thirds of his total Ki gave him a deeper understanding his newfound power's true strength. As of recently, if Shin fully depleted his Ki till nothing is left it would take twelve hours to fully recover, but now even with the quantity and quality increase the Black Heaven & Earth Technique it takes no more than 3 to 4 hours to recover to full capacity, and it doesn't end there because when sitting down to meditate it only takes 2 to 3 hours to fully recharge. The Ki regeneration of Black Heaven & Earth Technique is even more amazing when there is still Ki remaining. Even if Shin has just 1% of his Ki left over from a tough battle he could fully recover in 2-3 hours and when meditating 1 to 2 hours. The Ki even regenerates slowly in the middle of intense physical activity like fights.

Shin has come to the conclusion to call it the perfect Ki manual for long missions and continuous battles and only loses out to other types of Ki in short missions and battles where both parties are at 100% condition. Also, other conditions like Unlocking deeper into the genetic constraint and higher tiers of the One-eyed Ghoul Mutation might improve the already game breaking regeneration speed, and thinks that one day he might rival the main character of "The Gamer" in near infinite energy regeneration. If he can reach such a level then he might be able to stay at 100% condition after hours, days, or even weeks of continuous fighting. Even if Shin ends up fighting someone with ten times, hundred times his total energy he feels like he won't be overwhelmed and could outlast such a foe under the right conditions.

Shin, Hikari, Aqua, Shuai, Connor, Jin, and Kisara each reached a new tier of strength and brought their Team Japan even further. They didn't know where they stood within all the teams of God's Dimension, yet they all believed that they could overcome anything together... and the time to test that theory came. A battle where Hope, Despair, and the Future awaited. Soon the next mission will commence.

The final day had come and it was time to depart. All preparations were set, including weapons and supportive items such as bandages, hemostasis sprays, packaged food, and solidified water. Even gold, diamond, and platinum was readied as potential currency to be used in an emergency in the next world whatever it may be. Shin's gear; Gravity Blade, Lesser Fenrir Coat, Auto 9, Devil Sealed Gun, and all his other weapons stored in his two Na Rings were ready to go, and his other comrades were similarly packed and ready. Team Japan had met early before God would send them off, but just talked about pointless subjects to pass the time rather than what was waiting for them as they did all that was needed to be done.

As they chatted in the platform the twenty beams of light shot down from God to transport them to the next mission had finally came. Everyone was about to step inside, but to Shin's and everyone else was suddenly startled by an abnormality occurring before their eyes. The bright beam of light that everyone had gotten used to had slowly changed in color until it became sunset red color. It wasn't a deep shade, yet it instinctively reminded them all of blood. They then heard God's notification and thus Shin's fifth mission in God's Dimension had begun and had no choice of running away like before.

- Enter the beam in thirty seconds. Target locked. Dangan Ronpa Another Episode - Ultra Despair Girls. Beginning transportation.

Thank you all for reading the the fifth arc of "Terror Infinity - Side B", Hunter X Hunter - Greed Island. This is my first Fan Fiction, so I am glad that there were many people who enjoyed it. The next mission is a confirmed won't be an exciting Team Battle, but instead an exciting action pack adventure between Shin and the false God of Terror Infinity, so look forward to the action packed chapters to come which will star our first Video Game setting! Haha! Like I once said I'm getting to all the platforms I advertised and we're now just have Visual Novels left... but who knows when that will be. Seriously, I don't know.

The Dangan Ronpa video game series has recently in the years become one of my favorites. The story alone is compelling enough that it trumps most action adventure games, yet it is the interactive Class Trials that bring out the excitement of the game. Dangan Ronpa 1 had a compelling story and game play. Dangan Ronpa 2 even more so and the slightly shallow Murder Investigation, Class Trial, and culprit motives from the first were perfected in the sequel and lives up to the series name.

Another Episode - Ultra Despair Girls doesn't follow the norm of the series and originally pushed me away, but after I gave the game a chance I was blown away. Literally blown away. I was watching the game on YouTube for a straight ten plus hours and fell off my seat. Ultra Despair Girls is the only action genre game of the series as the rest are visual novel/detective games. There is a upcoming new Anime "Dangan Ronpa 3: End of Hope's Peak Academy" new and game installment "Dangan Ronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing" coming up, so you won't regret getting addicted now!

Warning! The next arc of will be heavily story based and will be packed with spoilers from the entire Dangan Ronpa universe, so please do play or watch a play through of  Dangan Ronpa 1, Dangan Ronpa 2, and Dangan Ronpa Another Episode - Ultra Despair Girls.... IN THAT EXACT ORDER if you don't want to be spoiled and to fully enjoy this series. Not so much for Dangan Ronpa 2, but not playing Dangan Ronpa 1 before Another Episode will leave you with most clues for some events.

I will take a unconfirmed amount of time to write the fifth mission. Also proofreading to make the fifth mission the best arc to date takes time as well. My best guess is late July or early August, but it might be longer. My work hours have gotten longer as well and so please wait patiently for me to return since it will be worth the wait (Hopefully). On the main page I added a section for progress, so pop in time to time and maybe even reread the series.

Thank you, and look forward to future terrors that are to come in the upcoming Terror Infinity - Side B, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode - Ultra Despair Girls.

An important announcement will be in the next post after the usual characters and enhancements pages later today.

Warning: Very easily to spoil if you look up wiki's and the like. I highly recommend just playing the game or watching a walkthrough without looking up details. Also, I'll delete comments which are spoilers for Dangan Ronpa, so please keep that in mind. It's as rude as writing the name of the culprit in a mystery novel the page before his big reveal.
