Never Die Extra

Chapter 401

Prologue. He Described Himself as Archmage.

A very tall tree, with mana dense enough to arouse aggression. The birds flying in the sky, the flowers and grass that bloomed on the ground, and the butterflies and bees swimming in between were all huge. Everything was enormous and fierce—a place where level 1 humans couldn’t even breathe at will. A place where countless legends and myths lived and breathed, where despair to infringe on the world was conceived, and hope to overturn it opened its eyes. Where mortals who couldn’t change anything on their own were struggling to avoid the gods’ amusement…the place where everyone eagerly longed for life while crawling on the floor, which was the nearest place to death.

“Tada, this is where we are right now!”

“Wooooow!”

Maybell shouted as if she heard, ‘Did you think it was all over now that the Demon King is dead? That’s a lie!’ Evan was satisfied.

“You have a really good reaction, Maybell.”

“Being next to you, who won’t even touch me, the only thing that was increasing was such a cute trick!”

“You’re the one who stopped me, saying no.”

“I’m joking, I’m joking. In a limited situation, this is my desperate effort to have something we can agree with anyway…huh?”

Maybell, who continued talking with a giggling smile, gave a blank expression at the moment. Did something appear!? Evan quickly turned his head while guarding against the environment, but there was only a landscape that looked as if the background had been enlarged ten times.

“What? There’s nothing…huh?”

When he turned his head back to Maybell, saying so bluntly, Evan questioned his own eyes. It seemed that she was wearing a normal maid’s suit a while ago, but now she was wearing black leather clothes that stuck to her body. It was also a heavily revealing outfit, showing the thickness of her chest and her waist. Evan had a memory of seeing those clothes before. This was the succubus outfit from the Yo-Ma Great War series. No, looking at the oddly luxurious and more revealing outfit, it was probably an elite object…maybe it was the Succubus Queen’s outfit!

“Hey, you’ve been denying it desperately so far! What about the bat wings on your back and head now…?”

“Master, I just realized an important fact.”

Maybell transformed into a complete succubus and narrowed the distance with her blue eyes. Evan, flinching away from her changed mood, instinctively stepped back, but Maybell fluttered her wings, and the gap quickly narrowed again.

“The Demon King is dead.”

“Not here, but in the modern world, yes. That’s it…”

He had just noticed it now, but her brown-colored hair, which was originally short, was fluttering over her shoulder and reached down to her chest. Moreover, only the shape of her face was the same as before, but there was a strangely erotic atmosphere. Maybe it was the effect of the Succubus Queen’s unique armaments…

‘No, it’s the opposite. This is probably what Maybell really looks like. Because she looks the same from when I saw her in the dream…’

Maybell was still the girl he knew. It was only after reaching that conclusion that Evan was able to calm down.

Meanwhile, Maybell, who didn’t know what he was thinking, pushed her body to him and said in a bright voice.

“Maybe there’s a Demon King here in this place, but it wasn’t that the Demon King was redeeming me. That means I’m completely free now!”

“So, you’re saying that the Demon King before the contract with you took place can’t redeem you…but maybe there is the Devil?”

“Don’t joke, Master! Because the Devil can’t control all the Demons, there is a manager between them named the Demon King.”

“Uh, you’re right.”

Evan was able to get most of the things in the Yo-Ma Great War series, but he didn’t understand the rules of the Devil and the Demon King. Come to think of it, even in Yo-Ma Great War Zero; there were Demons who betrayed the Devil. Evan was convinced.

“With the death of the Demon King, all restrictions placed on me were completely lifted. Of course, there are minor problems, but I can solve them with my ability. In other words, I don’t have to hide my identity anymore!”

“No, in fact, you haven’t been actively hiding it up until now.”

“It doesn’t matter at all now!”

However, Maybell ran into his arms, pretending that she had no intention of listening to Evan’s words.

Her leather clothes, which seemingly had little defense, really had the defense lowered to zero. Evan was struck by the vivid sensation felt through her thin clothes.

“Then what’s important?”

“The first night between you and me!”

“Although I think your positive mindset even coming to this place is good.”

Evan exhaled as he pushed away Maybell’s clinging body. Perhaps it was his imagination, but even her scent was sweet.

“I don’t know about you, but I just got separated from my loved ones and precious friends! Besides, we’re in the middle of a magical place where we know nothing. At least, judge the situation and, if possible, secure our safety before sticking to me.”

“I-I’m sorry. Now that I don’t think I need to hold back, I’m so overwhelmed…”

“…”

Maybell quickly crumpled up at his slightly angered voice. As she came out like that, Evan had nothing to say. He knew well that she had been patient and waited a lot. He eventually reached out and stroked Maybell’s hair. Her face lit up brightly, like a puppy waiting for her master’s touch, and she hugged his arm.

“Masteeeer!”

“Okay, okay, just be patient. You’re a good girl, right?”

“Yes! …What?”

It was then when Evan managed to clear up the situation. From afar, a faintly murderous roar was heard. As soon as Evan heard the roar, he frowned.

“Damn it.”

“Is that a dangerous enemy?”

“Huh? Um…no, I mean, yes. He’s a dangerous enemy.”

Compared to the enemies in Yo-Ma Great War 3, he was ridiculously strong. At least the…no, he was definitely stronger than the Demon King. However, the reason Evan had cursed wasn’t because the enemy was strong. It was because of the déjà vu feeling coming like a storm, which made him restless. The owner of the roar right now was the Forest Giant, the opponent of the Yo-Ma Great War Zero tutorial battle. That’s right. The great ancient mage, who appeared in the forest with a crowd of lights, awakened a unique magic against the Forest Giant, who suddenly invaded after losing all of his memory and was lost in space—that was the beginning of Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

Like a tutorial battle, the protagonist was almost invincible, the system informed you of friendly commands, and the Forest Giant did nothing but attack or defend. Of course, when you think you got used to the battle system enough, he suddenly prepared for a special move, but if he fired his own magic at the timing the system told you, it would die without making a squeak. Like in the tutorial, Evan couldn’t get experience, and the unique magic that was exerted against the Forest Giant was similar to an explosion, so he couldn’t use it properly in the next battle. The unique magic would be able to be used again in the latter half of the game after combining various skills.

‘But that’s not what matters now. The problem is that he is coming this way as if he recognized me. I will definitely have to fight him.’

Evan has to fight against the enemy that the ancient Archmage fought in the tutorial and won. And what did that mean? It meant that from now on, Evan would become the main character of Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

‘Of course, I already knew it. In fact, from the time I met Mirole, I was a little suspicious! When I heard the word Zero, it was more difficult to pretend I didn’t know…! But still, it’s really annoying!’

How should he accept that the supporting actor who died in vain in Yo-Ma Great War 3 was actually the main character of Yo-Ma Great War Zero? In fact, was there a route to save Evan in Yo-Ma Great War 3, too? No, rather, Yo-Ma Great War Zero’s existence was denied unless he had a true ending! They made such a setup and killed Evan like that! Those damn production crew bastards, I’m going to go back to the past and destroy them with a time paradox!

‘In the end, I got the true ending route, so, I guess, that’s it? It doesn’t mean something will come out if I keep thinking about it…’

Evan, scratching his head and thinking, quickly raised his head with a sigh. His worries about his own identity ended a long time ago. Since it was already like this, he had no choice but to clear this world completely by revitalizing his memories of Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

“Master, are you okay?”

“Hmm…if that’s the case, then the problem is you.”

“What?”

The protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War Zero was the great ancient mage, and if you put one more, it would be the eternal elf princess, the High Elf Mirole. In addition to that, there were quite a few attractive heroines who were in the supporting roles, but there was no place for the Succubus Queen anywhere. In the worldview of the Yo-Ma Great War series, there wasn’t an enemy who is weak enough to be fascinated by the power of the Succubus. Unless if it were the weak humans.

“Master, have you just looked at me with doubts about my abilities? You’re looking down on me because I’m a succubus virgin, right? In that case, I will have no choice but to prove my sexual techniques engraved in my genes with the body of the Master! Kuhuhu…it’s okay, Master. I was convinced that a day like this would come, and I was simulating it many times in my head…!”

Evan moved his ten fingers unpleasantly and agonizingly, blocking Maybell with one hand, who was trying to attack him.

“What do I do with this one? Reveal her? Hide her? If I do anything wrong, the Time Paradox…”

No, it was impossible to hide her. Even if she was a normal succubus queen, Maybell was a spiritually connected entity with Evan. Her mighty magic power wasn’t meant to be hidden because she was concealed. He was in trouble. At this point, this was different from Yo-Ma Great War Zero. No, but didn’t Mirole pretend not to know Maybell when she directly helped her in the present? That meant she knew she would go back to the past with Evan. In other words, it meant that even if Maybell was here, it wasn’t a big problem…!

‘Then, should I choose to let Maybell be free as long as she doesn’t stand out too much in the scenario? There won’t be a big problem, right? Sigh…if it had been like this, I would have made a script beforehand. Mirole, really, when I get back…’

While experiencing an unprecedented situation, his thoughts got complicated, but he no longer had time to sort out the situation. He uprooted a huge tree, and the Forest Giant appeared.

―Kuwawawawawawak!

“Waaaahhh!”

Maybell exclaimed her admiration as she watched the giant’s body stretch endlessly high.

“It’s huge! Oh, but I like the master’s more, so be rest assured!”

“What did you just say is big? Huh!? N-no, forget it. Just don’t say. Don’t say!”

If she had appeared in the original Yo-Ma Great War Zero game, she would have made it impossible for minors to play the game. She casually made a terrifying comment that would cause sales to be cut to less than half…! Evan stretched his arm forward in a cold sweat over Maybell’s formidable power. The Forest Giant tried to take another step forward in anger, looking at the two of them, then stiffened in place. And he fell.

“You stay; how do I get rid of you from now on to be as close to Yo-Ma Great War Zero as possible…ah.”

“Master…he is dead.”

As the first monster, it was also a monster treated like a loser in the region, so it was a mistake to block it with as much strength as possible. Evan’s destructive pressure squeezed the Forest Giant, and he broke his neck without giving him any time to do anything.

“Uh…so.”

“Master…?”

“Yeah…I can’t help it. It’s a tutorial monster. It’s natural for it to be weak. In fact, it was easy to kill as the great ancient mage, too. I skipped the command because you already know everything. Right?”

“Master…”

Evan decided to turn a blind eye to reality. It wasn’t his fault. The description of the game saying that the Forest Giant was incredibly strong was wrong.

“Oh my god, killing a mighty giant who has reigned in the forest for decades and threatened the Mother Tree…!”

Yeah, yeah, like this now. They would make a fuss around him for no reason, saying that the Forest Giant was strong, so Evan used too much strength out of worry!

‘…Huh?’

“The human and the demon…it is true, the human killed the giant…!”

“Um…”

Evan turned. She was there, a young elf girl with emerald eyes radiating brilliant shine with beautifully sparkling blonde hair as if it were made of fine gold. She looked much more immature than as he was used to…she looked the same way as the High Elf girl known to Yeo Ban-min in the game.

“Miro-oops!?”

Evan kept Maybell’s mouth shut as she almost revealed something important. Maybell, who had mistaken it for some kind of play, blushed and twisted her body as if it were unpleasant, but he boldly ignored it and stared at Mirole.

“Kyak!”

In fact, she was in a state of panic because she didn’t know how to respond, but the High Elf girl met his eyes before screaming cutely and collapsing on the spot.

“N…name!”

The forever Elf Princess, High Elf Mirole, asked with a trembling voice.

“I am the Elf Mirole…human; what’s your name…?”

After all. In the game, Mirole never asked for his name. His complicated mind was neatly organized. Evan opened his mouth as he stopped worrying about the time paradox.

“Zero. I’m a mage.”

The moment when the great ancient mage declared himself as Zero. The history of the new generation, unlike that of the game’s or scenario, began.
