Yep. Very annoying.

Somehow I find myself standing at the edge of a balcony with my clawed finger just occasionally tapping on the railing of the balcony looking out over a massive plaza within the castle. A castle belonging to the guy who was, in fact, a king. The ruler of this entire planet in fact.

From what I can tell, he’s only about as strong as a Class III or Class IV Guardian. Somewhere on the edge of the two, at the end of Class III.

So weak.

But impressive that he got this strong without a System.

He’s also having a statue built for me in the plaza as we speak, and wouldn’t hear a word of denial about it.

So... yeah.

“That’s intriguing...” the pixie queen – ruler of the pixies and the contracted partner of the king of this world – mutters while standing on the railing next to me. “So you came here from your world to stop the Red Death from coming here?”

Red Death?

“What do you mean by that?” I ask with a frown. “By Red Death.”

She looks confused for a second before answering, “The substance of which you have locked within your body. Of which you call ‘Red Plague’.”

Oh. So I guess these pixies call it something else.

Interesting.

I went ahead and told my story to the pixie out of boredom since there’s literally nothing else to do here while I wait for the stupid fae king to come bring me to the next world. But I didn’t expect for these pixies to have so much knowledge on the universe, just like the fae.

And even moreso didn’t expect them to have different terms for things.

Guess they really are just different types of spirits from different realities.

“In that case, yes, that’s why I came here,” I tell her with a shrug while glaring at the statue of me they’re putting up. One with me wearing some sort of dress-armor instead of the basic clothes I’m wearing now. As if my current outfit didn’t look cool or stylish enough. Although the other statues they’re putting up around the world – yes, there’s more, unfortunately – have me dressed as I am now. With my jacked and regular clothes. Albeit made of blood. “Just waiting for that old man to pick me up and bring me to the next world to get my fill of void creatures.”

Oh, and they’re a grayish green in color.

Guess that pixie queen sent me to a world being attacked by a couple void heralds. Unexpected, but not unwelcome.

Also, how was she able to teleport me? And she implied that all the rulers of the spirits can teleport people? So it’s not just the Fae King?

Interesting. But not really something I can pay much attention to right now.

Not with these big fellas making their way over here with a massive swarm of void creatures. A swarm so large that I can practically see nothing more than an endless wave of tentacles, bugs, and scales.

A rather disturbing sight.

I glance back at the world to find it to actually be even more advanced than Earth in terms of technology. Which I wasn’t expecting.

It also looks like a lot of people are pointing cameras at the air. Or rather, at me. Not at the void invasion, but at me.

Guess those cameras have a rather long range?

And I can hear more whispers of a goddess... just peachy...

Actually, my eyes narrow as I spot some spaceships in the air. Not very advanced ones based on sci-fi I’ve seen at least, but good enough to get into space and have weapons on them.

Doubt they’d last long traveling away from the planet though.

Unexpected. But I have business to attend to.

And at this point I don’t really care about attention. I already have a bunch of statues on that other world whose name I actually never got.

What’s some media presence here gonna do to me?

I turn around and refocus on the void invasion.

Time to fight.
