[Hyde E.]: Rage of Mitsuha. Even though Mitsuha is reborn into a new world, his hate for certain types of people still remain as he encounters them. A psychotic disorder rather than an ability, however, in the Hyde E. state, Mitsuha vitality, adrenaline and blood pressure heighten up to ensure best combat capability; The personality of Hyde E. represents true hatred, sadistic, desensitized of morals and humanity standards.

I wake up to the stench of methane gas, everything engulfed in the darkness of the night sky while illuminated in the light of a full-moon and surrounded in a thick smog.

Looking around, I realize that I was in somewhat of a cemetery with all the head stones littered the ground. An odd place to reinstate in unless I was in a doom game, which I’m not since there are no zombies, demons or anything of the sort.

After a short walk around the area of the cemetery, I encounter a strange looking man, staggering around with a shovel on his back. Thinking that he’s a late night grave digger or a grave robber, I close in and try to ask for assistance.

“Excuse me sir! Hey Sir! You there! Hello?!”

I shout continuously at the man while sprinting at him, hoping to get his attention. The man does not respond to my cries.

However, as I close in to this guy, I’m greeted not with man, no. It was a skeleton, covered with a black cloak.

“He…Hey…Can you understand what I’m saying?”

The skeleton uncover his hood to reveal his fleshless interior and slowly close in to me.

I can’t move, come on. Oh no, he’s getting closer. God damn it, I just came back to life and now I’m gonna be killed by a grave digger skeleton?

I close my eyes, waiting for the worse to come out of this situation. However, what comes next is not what I expected for a little bit.

its hands reach out for my face, giving me a soft touch and a quick inspection of my face with his boney fingers.

I become petrified as the thought of it suddenly stab I in the eye with his finders really make it uneasy as he scan my face with them.

But then nothing happens, the skeleton retract its hand and walk to a coffin shaped tomb and signal me to sit down alongside it.

Still baffled from the occurrence, I slowly walk over to him while continuously trembles at this sight.

“Your name…is it MItsuha?”

It suddenly talks, or rather she suddenly talks.

“M…me?” (Mitsuha)

“Who else’s? You’re the only human are here at the moment and not charge at me sword in hand.” (Skeleton)

“Al…alright, so what is it? Why do you want me to sit next to you? Do you have something to say? IF not then can I leave, it’s kinda scary here.” (Mitsuha)

“Well first, I’m sorry for almost scaring you shitless…”(Skeleton)

“Yeah, almost…” (MItsuha)

“Well your face was so fucking funny when I caressed your face. I do admit, it’s kinda rude to do it, but I really miss having a fleshy face once again…Mitsuha…” (Skeleton)

“What do you mean by that? (And how the fuck did you know my name?)”(Mitsuha)

“I wasn’t always a Lich you know, I was once a kid, summoned to this world. Put it in a short term, I was cursed and I have been an undead Lich till now.”(Lich)

“I see…” (Mitsuha)

Still putting up my doubtful defense barrier, I maintain my conversation with the soft-voiced Lich.

“You seem to have been summoned here too, hero type familiar I assume (with the Army uniform and all). However, you seem to be a little bit too young for being a soldier.” (Lich)

“Well I don’t remember anything else prior to waking up in this cemetery. I do remember where I came from though. Japan,” (Mitsuha)

“I barely remember anything, when I came here.” (Lich)

“So what should I call you? It’s gonna be hard later on if we are to travel with eachother”

“Wh…what? You want to travel…with… with me.”(Lich)

She turns away from me, and instinctively cover her face. That gesture somewhat resembles when a heroine in an eroge game blush. Am I in a weird monster dating sim right about now or a really weird light novel of where the hero fuck monsters?

“Well, yeah, since you are intending to give me a quest am I right? From what you said earlier, I think that you’ll ask me to undo your curse somehow. I just wake up in a weird new world with a Lich who’s not planning to kill me, so my bet is that you’re either giving me a rare item or a shitty item that I’m going to discard later on if I am to get a better item later on, at least that’s what i think from all of my years playing MMORPGs.”(Mitsuha)

“Are you an Otaku?” (Lich)

“Yeah, I have quite a big collection of manga and anime in my room. Because of that, I’m kind of a loner in my school years. And because of that I was considered a shame for my family and later on get disowned by my father…” (Mitsuha)

Due to a certain problem I had with how father chose to treat my new step mother. I remember getting beaten a lot and almost got my arm severed from a sword fight with him. But mother did manage to save me and we even went into hiding with my two other sisters. Everything else after that is much of a blur.

“How did it come to that? Did you sell some sort of important family heritage or something?” (Lich)

“Sort of…Dad was somewhat pissed about that, and one thing led to another. Next thing I knew, I was in a duel with that bastard...”(Mitsuha)

“You had a rough time,… hadn’t you?”(Lich)

“Yeah…It kinda suck…but hey, enough about me. Tell me a little bit about yourself.” (Mitsuha)

“Well I was sent here like you, but through a summoner. I didn’t know what kind of life I had prior to coming here. Later on that summoner asked me to be her apprentice, which I agreed to as I had nowhere to go and no money for the most part. I guess I lost my memories after being turned into a Lich. Since then I’ve been wandering around and clearing the cemetery off the monsters.” (Lich)

“What do you mean monsters?” (mitsuha)

“Well ever since I got cursed and stayed here, I have been making charms and amulets to stop some of the undead from rising up. It’s hard to mope around if there is always a barrage of moaning disrupting your thoughts now and then. Oh and so to speak, my spells only can work during day time to kill and suppress them, but at night, the zombies tends to be invulnerable to my spells and tends to multiply. Speaking of which, we should get back to my place, I have a hut on that hill over there, it should be safer with the moon have risen up.” (Lich)

“Wait wait wait…We barely even met, I mean we did spend a few minutes talking, but don’t think that I trust you for one second.”(Mitsuha)

“Why?”(Lich)

“Don’t get me wrong…But it’s still awfully suspicious of you, a Lich, to come over and just blatantly hold a conversation with me. One, it’s because you’re a Lich. Second, all the things you told me might have been a lie. Third, you’re awfully friendly to a guy you just met.”(Mitsuha)

“Huh? Don’t get too full of yourself, you moron. First, you woke up in devil’s territory, and not the good types too. Second, I’m not that bad of a person, even after I turned into a Lich. Third, it’s high time that we leave unless you want to be zombie chow. And call me Yuki, my previous master used to address me with that name.”(Lich)

As she finishes her sentence, loud groans of zombies echo through the foggy grave yard. She then guides me through the grave yard, across the sea of rising zombies.

As I go through the sea of undead, I hear a feint cry for help from a far.

“IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE? PLEASE! HELP ME!”(Unknown person)

The Lich keeps on going, unfeigned by the echoes that haunts the air even more.

“Hey, should we help them? I mean, you can’t left them for dead right?”(Mitsuha)

“The person you are speak off is a Holy Knight of Emestria, during the new king’s reign, they have not only wreak havoc around settlements and towns. It’s better off if they die…”(Yuki/Lich)

“You don’t know that, they might be innocent passerby or adventurers.”(Mitsuha)

“Innocent passerby tends to not care of a demonic cemetery, and adventurers are mostly cowards at this point turning to extort, rape and killing each other…”(Yuki/Lich)

Even so, they are still human beings.

“I know what you’re thinking, it’s cruel to let them die. And I agree with you, it is cruel but, this is the reality of this world, it’s harsh and unmerciful. It’s better to let a messiah die than to let a scoundrel lives. And besides, since you are a human, your chances of surviving is pretty low. ” (Yuki/Lich)

She then continues toward the hut visible on top of the hill, with me following her steps.

But it’s kinda fucked up to leave a person crying for help…From what I heard from Yuki, it seems that this ain’t gonna be like those Isekai novels that the hero ends up getting several wives and all that, but it’s gonna be kill or be killed.

…

A thought suddenly rushes through my mind, and at this moment, I do something very, extremely, utterly stupid.

“Yuki! I’m saving that person with or without your help.”(Mitsuha)

“Huh? Didn’t you just hear what I said, you’ll get killed and you don’t even have a weapon. People are cons these days, they might even try to kill you.”

“Screw that! I am supposed to be the hero right? I mean I was summoned here to be the hero right? Then let me do my fucking job. In any movies or video games, heroes tend to save lives not abandon them, or at least die trying.”(Mitsuha)

“Are you an idiot? Look! There are at least two hundred zombies out there. You don’t even have a weapon.”(Yuki)

“It’s alright! I used to take Aikido and Kenjutsu, I won’t fight hem head on. I’ll try to dodge rather than engage them head on.”(Mitsuha)

I say with a confident smile while brushing my hair to the side as a pathetic attempt to flaunt my charms over her.

“Idiot… Just do what you want, don’t tell me to come and save you when your plans fail. I won’t help! Hmph!”(Yuki)

“Just tsun all you want, but I’ll evoke your dere side sooner or later.*Wink*”(Mitsuha)

“Ew! Gross...”(Yuki)

I then roll up my sleeves, straighten up my collar. As I about to sprint, Yuki suddenly grab my arm and pull me to her side.

“I’m doing this only as a favor, I expect something in return. UNDEAD DISPERSAL!”(Yuki)

She then chants a loud spell, dispersing the crowd of undead in the direction of the cries.

“I thinned out the herd for you, and also take this…”

She then hands me her shovel,

“It’s risky if you were to get cornered by the zombies so as a precaution, take my shovel. I’ll be wanting it back so you better stay alive and bring it back to me. I’m gonna quite pissed if I have to wander around just to find it shoved in some zombie’s face. I’ll try to hold the dispersing spell, that’ll slow them down. Move!” (Yuki)

After receiving Yuki’s weapon, I charge at the direction of the cries, and engage the crowds of zombies.
