Livestream Hero

Chapter #34: [NEXT PHASE]

The tea-time was quite useful. I had long left the old man to his devices, but not before sealing him to the chair. It was my form of retribution.

No worries though, the seal breaks after the other Union members find him. Though when is still questionable.

Thanks to him, I had learned some information regarding their organization, the Black Zodiac. Turns out, they worship 6 Evil Deities, while they have 12 Executives which represent each of the animals from the Chinese Zodiac.

Although I wasn't able to learn his name, I had known that he represents the Snake, hence the title of 'Bound Serpent'. I also recall that the previous one I encountered, the expert of Cloning Magic, represented the Rabbit, hence 'Lunar Rabbit'.

He didn't disclose the names of their Deities, but he said to me the titles of the others. Namely: Wisteria Tiger, Carnival Monkey, Diabolic Goat, Horse of Cavalry, Hog of Gluttony, Rat of Pestilence, Inversed Hound, Juggernaut Ox, Wailing Rooster, & the Dragon of Cycle.

The 'Dragon of Cycle' was supposedly the leader of the 12, which means that he's quite powerful if he's able to make 11 other Supreme Ranks obey him.

Welp, let's worry about that for later. For now, I neeeeeed to relax for a bit.

...

*Ping!*

A notification had sounded from my phone. Pulling it from my pocket, I was met by the reminder that the task had been finished.

[Task 2/2 – Completed]

[Congratulations! You have successfully passed the introduction phase!]

... Introductory...?

I blinked, a bit dumbfounded. I then removed my now blank gaze from the phone and to the horizon.

That shit was just introductory...

*Sigh...*

Well, it's no use worrying it. Though, I'll still make HolyMaiden hunt down that scheming Plotter when I can.

I had continued on scanning the message.

[Rewards Received!]

[Union Significance Emblem]

[Notes: Emblem which represents the highest position a Union member can achieve, it's rarity is highest too, as there's only 2 of this created. One at the hands of the Union Chairman and one for a person that the Ancient Gods favors. (Reminders: The Union now knows that the 2nd Emblem is active and is on someone's possession. They will try to find it, so better improve your hiding skills. *Wink*)]

My body twitched for a bit. Though I liked the influence that the Emblem had given me, I don't think that it outbalances the ridiculous fame that it would give me once they had found that I'm it's possessor. This just made things harder for me.

[Skill Acquired: World Hop]

[Notes: Ya really think that Earth is the only world with life? Wrong boya, go out there and get some exploring going. There's more out there if you're tired of your world.]

Woah, this quite cool. In fact, this is much better than the Emblem.

Wait... Does this mean that I could be an isekai protagonist on several worlds? If so, then hell yeah!

I was grinning at the prospect of isekaing myself when another notification had popped up.

*Ping!*
