Shirou's clones number 30 million

As soon as Shirou Hakuze finished speaking, Lu Ge, in perfect unison, rushed over to his left and right.

The next second, both of their hands landed on the boy's shoulders at the same time, their fingertips lightly touching his neck, and the three of them instantly shared the same memory.

Shirou Yasaka is sixteen years old and has just entered his second year of high school.

On the surface, he is just an ordinary high school student, but in reality, he is both a time traveler and a superpowered person and a magician.

As an infant, shortly after birth, Shirou Yasaka discovered that he possessed a superpower.

You can dream at night and experience the life of an anime protagonist. Although it's just a dream, it feels as real as reality.

After waking up, you will retain all the abilities you had as the male protagonist of the anime in the dream, and the duration will be the same as the dream time.

Although this ability has many limitations, it is very interesting to use and has a strong effect.

So, Shirou Yasaka decisively abandoned magic and has been researching more ways to use his superpowers ever since.

Although all abilities have time limits, as long as you go to bed earlier and wake up later each day, you can maintain the male protagonist's abilities in your dreams for a whole day.

Last night, in his dream he became Kiritani Kazuto, a veteran of countless battles.

Today, in order to continue yesterday's storyline in tonight's dream, and also out of personal interest, I specially wore a trench coat just like Kirito's.

As for the sword in his hand, it was purely decorative.

"Such a powerful superpower, and you've used it like this." Luke shook his head and sighed.

"Is there something wrong with how I'm using it?" Shirou Yasaka asked, looking surprised.

"What do you think? Compared to the fleeting abilities of a protagonist in a dream, one's own power is the most important."

"I exercise too, don't I?"

"What's the use of just ordinary training? With such amazing superpowers, if it were me, I would definitely train desperately and try every means to turn all the protagonists' abilities in my dreams into my own power."

"I live in a very ordinary world. There are no aliens, monsters, or spirits. What would I need such great power for?"

Shirou Yasaka paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"On this point, I'm on Kanbara's side. He's unwilling to share his power with you in order to play basketball in the Slam Dunk world."

"As for me, although I am not a member of the basketball team, I am good at all kinds of sports and can be called a star of the sports meet."

"If the strength is too great, then there's no point in participating in the sports meet, right?"

"You can't participate in the sports meet anymore," Shirou Shiro reminded him speechlessly.

"Haha...that's true."

Shirou Yasaka laughed for a while, then stared intently at Luke and said again:

"I've read a light novel with you as the main character before, and I heard it's getting an anime adaptation soon. Um, can I dream of you tonight?"

“No!” Luke refused decisively.

"Don't be so cold, it's just a dream."

"That's not OK."

"Okay, then I'll dream of being a Shinigami tonight, and I want to be Kurosaki Ichigo."

"Can you only be the protagonist of an anime in your dreams?"

"Yes, anime or manga are both fine, light novels are also okay. But, you can only be the protagonist."

As he spoke, Yasaka Shirou couldn't help but complain:

"Some main characters are truly useless. From beginning to end, they don't improve their power at all, not even as much as I do."

"At the very least, I know a bit of Bajiquan, so kicking a small tree in half wouldn't be a problem."

"Although I really want to experience the storyline, I'm afraid I'll die in my dream."

"Although it won't affect your physical health, it will have some psychological side effects."

"You should be happy if you have superpowers," Shirou Shiro couldn't help but say. "Like me, I didn't have any superpowers before, I relied entirely on my past life's accumulation."

"Don't you feel guilty saying that?" Yasaka Shirou curled his lip speechlessly. "A low-budget version of wish fulfillment and the ability to create clones, what else are these but superpowers?"

"I'm talking about before I participated in the murder mystery game in my first year of high school. Besides, those two superpowers are nothing compared to yours."

"Haha... Thank you for the compliment."

"I wasn't praising you." Shirou Shiro was speechless.

"You should be able to use my superpowers now, right? Dreams come true."

"What's the point of dreaming? I'm not interested. I hardly use my two superpowers anymore."

"That seems to make sense."

Shirou Yasaka gradually realized that with his current abilities, no protagonist could compare to him.

Dreaming about this is not only unnecessary, but it also disrupts normal rest.

"Sigh... my source of happiness has suddenly disappeared."

"Serves you right for being so cocky earlier." Shirou Shiro chuckled. "Since that's the case, just consider it experiencing the plot."

"If it's not about possessing power, what's the point of just experiencing the story? It's like watching the original work again from a first-person perspective."

At this moment, Luke suddenly asked:

"Can I bring someone along to dream together?"

Yasaka Shirou paused slightly, then shook his head and said:

"Sorry, that's beyond my knowledge. As a single person, I've never actually shared a bed with anyone else."

"Seriously, dreaming is a very private thing. Why do you want to dream with other people?"

“I want to help Taldo improve his combat experience,” Lu Ge said calmly. “The time ratio in dreams is different from that in reality, which can effectively improve combat experience.”

"Try it yourself," Yasaka Shirou said nonchalantly. "I've already decided to give up my superpowers, just like Bai Ze."

Shirou Shiro looked surprised. He had just been gloating over how powerful his superpower was, so why did he suddenly decide not to use it anymore?

Could it be that I'm really good at talking?

"You're not planning to dream anymore?"

“Yes.” Yasaka Shirou nodded slightly and sighed, “In order to maintain the protagonist’s ability, I have to go to bed before eight o’clock every night and get up again around eight o’clock the next morning. I try my best to get 12 hours of sleep every night and face the risk of being late every night.”

"God have mercy, I'm so tired of this kind of life."

"Thinking back carefully, it seems like I haven't gone out at night for sixteen years."

"You didn't say that at the beginning, did you?" Shirou Shiro chuckled.

"Well... people's thoughts are constantly changing, and there are very few people who are stubborn and inflexible."

"Oh, I see. Then you can go out shopping tonight."

"That's right! I can finally stay up late tonight. I'm going to stay up all night, and I'm going to get up early..."

Chapter 592: Nyarlathotep

Chapter 592, Section 593: Nyarlathotep Appears

As night fell, Shirou Yasaka, who hadn't left his house in a long time, strolled along the streets shrouded in darkness.

Using "long time no see" to describe it is not really appropriate.

Leaving aside my past life, in this life I have never left the house after 8 p.m. To be precise, I start taking a shower and getting ready for bed at 7 p.m.

Thanks to this, my parents were very at ease with my life, so much so that they were often away working or traveling all year round and rarely came home.

While strolling around, a black monster suddenly loomed overhead, startling Shiro Yasaka.

Was the world I lived in not just an ordinary world? Because I had never gone out at night, I had no idea that such monsters existed.

"What are you? A ghost or a monster?"

The enormous, shapeless black monster did not answer and pounced straight at them.

"An enemy? Then I won't hold back. Let's try ice first."

With a slight thought, Yasaka Shirou froze everything within a radius of more than ten meters, including the black monster.

With a kick, the ice sculpture shattered into pieces, turning into fragments of ice.

The frozen black monster then turned into black mist and vanished in an instant.

"Not even a single body was left behind, how environmentally friendly."

As he was feeling sentimental, one black monster after another appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Yasaka Shirou.

The sky, the streets, the rooftops—everywhere you could see—was filled with black, shapeless monsters.

According to his Observation Haki, three spaceships were hovering above the city, with gaping holes in the lower decks, from which black monsters were constantly emerging.

"What a big fuss! Are they targeting me?"

Fortunately, I awakened my cheat ability during the day; otherwise, Kirito's dual-wielding style alone wouldn't have been enough to deal with these monsters.

As for the abilities of other anime protagonists who can defeat these monsters, they would need to prepare by dreaming again, and there simply isn't enough time.

In an instant, a famous sword from the collection of the Heavenly Dragon Shirou appeared in Yasaka Shirou's hand, and he assumed an offensive stance.

Suddenly, all the black monsters exploded at the same time, and even the three spaceships in the sky were blasted apart by the beam of light from the ground, turning into fragments that drifted to various parts of the city.

Amidst the black smoke from the dissipation of countless monsters, a silver-haired beauty appeared smiling in front of Yasaka Shirou.

"Good evening, greetings from Nyarlathotep, the ever-smiling, crawling chaos."

"Nyaruko?"

Shirou Yasaka looked surprised. This seemed to be the female protagonist of an anime he had seen in his previous life, but so much time had passed that he had almost forgotten the plot.

So, it turns out that I, who have been playing different male leads all along, am actually the male lead myself?

"That's a good way to address me, it's simple and easy to remember, Shirou, just call me that."

"How do you know my name?"

"At least you need to know the name of the person you're protecting to be competent for this job, right?"
