Crossover Anime: Starting with a Life Index, Join the Chat Group

[1. Members of this group are randomly selected from countless parallel worlds across the endless universe.]

[2. Members in the group can open and close portals to their own worlds, allowing others to enter that world (currently a basic chat group, only the member themselves can teleport)]

[3. If a member of the group dies unexpectedly, the world they own will be unlocked.]

4. Members within the group will fight each other; the world of the dead will be taken over by the victors.

5. There is a cooldown period for traveling between worlds; it takes seven days before you can travel (or return) again.

6. Each world has a corresponding world exploration rate. Exploring worlds will earn you group points.

7. Worlds are also divided into levels, and the rewards for exploring different worlds are different. (S, A, B, C, D, E, F.)

Current group members: 5 (increased upon upgrade)

[Group Upgrade Method (Beginner-Intermediate): Single-world exploration rate of 80% or higher.]

[Currently rated S in the world.]

[Completion Rate: 1% (Current World Rewards Available)]

"..."

Luo Hao's expression turned serious.

This group wasn't like the gentle chat groups he'd read in his previous life; it was more like an execution mechanism similar to a reincarnation space.

The goal seems to be the conquest of other worlds.

It seems that as long as the strategy can be completed, it doesn't care about the life or death of the so-called group members.

In short, they are not a kind person, and there may even be traps involved.

However, even if he were, it wouldn't matter. Luo Hao had already joined and was already in the game. It was like the death game SAO; he probably wouldn't be able to get out until he finished it.

Furthermore, even if he knew in advance, he would absolutely not give up this opportunity.

For Luo Hao, traveling to other worlds and seeing more replicas of creatures was a godsend.

The bait is too tempting; there's no way he won't bite.

Luo Hao extended his consciousness into the group, exploring and browsing the information.

There are currently five group members, all with ID numbers, and none of them have used their one-time name change opportunity.

No one spoke for the time being, perhaps they were considering the "user manual" of the thinking group and deciding on their future strategic direction.

"..."

Luo Hao didn't dare to make a decision right now because he couldn't be sure of these people's identities and strengths, so he couldn't figure out his own position.

Is it a hunter with a shotgun who can make decisions, or a rabbit that is helpless?

He wasn't sure.

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Hao took the first step.

He changed his name from "Member Number Three" to his real name, "Luo Hao".

He wanted to try to get these group members to change their names as well, and maybe one or two of them would be people he "knew".

After all, he has now transmigrated into the world of light novels and anime, so it's reasonable for him to know the people in the chat group!

This test was indeed effective, and soon others followed suit and changed their nicknames.

And coincidentally, it was a name that Luo Hao recognized.

Esdeath

Luo Hao wasn't quite sure if this was the Esdeath he knew.

Immediately afterward, two familiar names (titles) appeared before my eyes: [Artoria Pendragon] and [Mental Control].

Luo Hao couldn't help but look at the last member, number 4.

Member #4 has died; their world is now open to the public.

[It has been determined that the first public world is a C-level world, with a completion rate of 0%.]

The name before me turned black, signifying the demise of its owner.

Luo Hao was extremely shocked; the fact that someone died right at the start of the game served as a further wake-up call for him.

Even having a cheat code doesn't mean you're truly favored by fate and become the protagonist.

Look at this guy, he's already fallen before he's even had a chance to warm up to it.

A gloomy atmosphere seemed to hang over the group.

[The replay of member number four's death is now ready.]

"!!!"

Luo Hao immediately perked up and began watching.

The scene that appeared in his eyes was a battlefield where people were fighting.

The sails were ablaze with flames, and the violent waves rocked the ship back and forth as fierce humans wielding weapons fought each other.

"pirate?"

These people were dressed very similarly to the pirates in Luo Hao's memory.

The battlefield appears to be a fierce battle between pirates.

They were completely indistinguishable, with similar outfits on both sides. The battles were basically indiscriminate hacking and slashing, and were extremely bloody.

"Roar~~"

With a deafening roar, the perspective shifted, and a werewolf over two meters tall charged towards them.

"Devil Fruit!!!"

Accompanied by screams, the scene unfolded as heads rolled to the ground.

"...One Piece?"

Luo Hao muttered to himself.

The person who killed the group member was probably a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. This was most likely a low-level pirate skirmish, meaning...

Esdeath: "Too weak, so weak, it's only natural that she died."

Chapter 4 Esdeath's Provocation

It has to be admitted that Esdeath is right. In Luo Hao's opinion, the biggest cause of this guy's death was also his weakness.

That Devil Fruit user was only at the level of a normal adult beastman here, yet he was so easily killed.

Someone this bad at the game still wants to be a pirate; it's no wonder they die.

[Mental Control]: "Let's not talk about this now that people are dead. Everyone, do you have any plans to go to this open world?"

[Artoria Pendragon]: "I don't have any yet, I have some things to take care of."

Esdeath has entered the first open world.

"So decisive..."

Luo Hao was also surprised by Esdeath's decisiveness.

It's important to understand that the open world is a world that anyone can enter, meaning that she cannot return within seven days. If someone is stronger than her, it's entirely possible that they could take over her world.

To dare to take such action requires extraordinary self-confidence and a fearless spirit.

"This kind of personality... perhaps it really is that great general of the empire!"

Luo Hao muttered to himself.

He definitely wouldn't dare go in and confront Esdeath right now. He's probably no match for Esdeath right now, and he wouldn't dare entrust his life to someone else.

If we have to wait, it will be several days later, after we have successfully replicated the life information of the machine race and completed the upgrade.

Esdeath: "Everyone, I will be staying in this world for at least a month. I look forward to your arrival!"

……

"Oh dear... I've been provoked!"

Academy City, Tokiwadai Middle School.

Just after it was announced that she had been promoted to Level 5 (esper), becoming the person who openly stands at the top of Academy City's 230 million residents, Misaki Shokuhou showed a slightly displeased expression.

Her username in the group, "Mental Control," is the title given to her by Academy City for her superpower: the ability to control the minds of others.

Possessing this power, she has always been a powerful figure who manipulates people's hearts and controls others. Being provoked in this way, she was somewhat displeased.

But should she respond?

Impossible. An unknown world, an unknown enemy. Unless she has no choice, she will never fight a battle she is not prepared for, especially one that involves risking her life.

The so-called world exploration reward is indeed quite good. She just received the reward for exploring 1% of her own S-level world, which greatly enhanced her superpowers, several times the amount she had calculated before.

The new world conquest rewards were indeed very tempting to her.

However, it's not to the point of risking one's life.

After all, it's just a C-level world.
