Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Author: Red Maple Leaves in the Wind

Introduction:

Due to unknown reasons, the unfortunate Shuul traveled to No Game No Life Zero and became an Ex-Machina.

After realizing his situation, Xuel began his struggle to survive in this hellish copy.

Fortunately, whether it was luck or something else, he came across a corpse, the corpse of a time traveler, and obtained the system from it!

"A new host has been detected and the binding has been successful. Welcome to the Dimension Crossing System. Do you want to start the extra-dimensional device?"

"of course?"

Faced with this only chance to survive, Xiuer activated the system without hesitation.

"Dimensional shuttle, start!"

Volume: Prologue

Prologue 1

Me, where am I?

The sky was dyed red, the earth was devastated by the constant wars between different races, the air was filled with the smell of war, and gray snow fell from the sky.

Two satellites of strange colors hung in the sky. Various signs indicated that this was not the Earth that the boy was familiar with in his memory. The boy looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze, his inorganic eyes moving back and forth.

Standing on this devastated land, everything around me seems so unreal.

who am I?

Now I remember, my name is...Xuer.

Why am I here? This isn't Earth... Have I traveled through time?!

After a brief moment of daze, Xiuer finally came to his senses.

The moment he came to his senses, the boy immediately felt something strange in his body, which was different from the feeling before.

Subconsciously lowering his head, he saw a body that was exposed without any clothing covering it. Apart from some flesh-colored skin that resembled a human, there were mechanical marks all over the body. The mechanical structure inside the body could be clearly seen from the armpits.

"I, this is..."

He spoke subconsciously because of shock, but although he was very panicked inside, the words he spoke were unusually calm.

At this time, Xuer didn't know what his appearance had become. As he lowered his head, his blue-purple hair, which was hanging down due to gravity, appeared in his field of vision.

There are mechanical wings of unknown function on its back, and an unknown mechanical creation on its head.

Touching the mechanical device on the side of his face, Xiuer realized that he was no longer human.

However, before he began to feel depressed, an explosion was heard from not far away.

This awakens Shuul, who was in self-doubt that he was not human.

He suddenly raised his head, and his pupils, which were like cameras, contracted, and he could see the scene in the distance clearly. There were unknown spaceships flying in the sky, and they were constantly attacking the forest below.

At this rate, they'll be here soon. Oh no! The instincts he still had as a human urged him to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

Compared to becoming a non-human, life is more important.

Xuer, who valued his life, no longer bothered about this matter and immediately fled in the direction away from the fleet.

......

I don’t know how long I ran, and Xiuer didn’t care about it.

Anyway, he chose to stop only after he was sure that he could no longer see those guys.

At some point, Xiuer had arrived in a forest.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as we stay away from that troubled place, it’s enough.

Now that they were out of danger, Xiuer's nervousness eased.

Then, he made an embarrassing discovery.

I seem to be lost.

But since we are already lost, there is no point in getting anxious.

As a last resort, Xiuer finally stopped by a stream.

"Come to think of it, even though I know I've traveled through time and become a robot, I still don't know what I look like."

There happened to be a stream nearby, so at least I could see what I looked like now.

"It shouldn't look scary, right?"

When he touched the face before, Xiuer only knew that there were some mechanical parts on the face. Although the face felt hard, it was a robot after all, but the shape of the face was at least close to that of a human.

After preparing himself mentally, Xiuer came to the water's edge, and his appearance finally surfaced.

The long blue-purple hair that reached the ground hung casually on her body, and a pair of golden inorganic eyes stared straight at the scene in the water. The face of a three-no girl appeared in Xiuer's sight.

The beautiful face like a doll, apart from the inhuman mechanical structure, was definitely Xiuer's favorite type.

The two tail-like tubes on the back were shaking restlessly, as was the prototype processor on the top of the head, and the pair of triangular mechanical parts on both sides of the ears.

"what."

"Looks like I've arrived in the world of No Game No Life Zero."

It's impossible not to feel sad after becoming an Ex-Machina and coming to this hell dungeon.

Xiuer sighed painfully.

Only after seeing his own appearance clearly did Xiuer confirm his situation.

No Game No Life Zero is an anime about the world before Shuul traveled through time, and he traveled through time and became one of the races in the world - the Ex-Machina.

As for why it is certain that it is No Game No Life Zero, it is because this kind of environment is not what the original story should have, it is definitely the plot of the movie version.

In the original drama, the Ex-Machinas possess bug-level abilities that allow them to analyze and copy enemy attacks.

This ability makes all other races default to not actively provoke the Ex-Machina. As long as you do not actively attack them, they will not attack you. Once you attack one of the Ex-Machina, you will attract the hatred of all the Ex-Machina.

But Xiuer's current condition...

"So, I've become a stray Ex-Machina."

According to his memory, the heroine of No Game No Life Zero is also an Ex-Machina, a Ex-Machina who was kicked out of the group chat for exploring her "heart". Her name was later named Hubie.

"Then why am I doing this?"

The moment he asked the question, data streams began to appear in Xiuer's mechanical eyes.

Tsk, there is no record, that's strange.

"But, looking at it from another angle, I am also an Ex-Machina with a heart, right?"

Although he became an Ex-Machina, his way of speaking, personality and memories are still his own.

Just to say this, it is a blessing in disguise.

At the moment, Xiuer didn't know how far the plot had progressed, but in order to survive, he had to start struggling.

But what should we do?

Looking for the protagonist?

Indeed, if the original male protagonist Rick is found, it would be possible to infiltrate the other party's tribe and wait for the end of the plot.

However, not to mention that looking for such a human in this world is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack, and humans are still trying their best to avoid other races. Moreover, Xuel cannot confirm whether the human he finds will happen to be Rick's.

Besides, if you want to hide until the end of the story, you don’t necessarily have to find the protagonist.

What should he do? He had already checked his own weapons. Apart from the functions that the Ex-Machinas had and some functions that he had developed himself, he did not possess any of the things from other races. He did not have anything like the [Pseudo-Classic Yanlongxiao] and the Elves.

Right now, Shuul was like a blank slate, armed only with the Ex-Machina's own weapons. He stroked his chin, the data streams in his eyes constantly calculating, and various methods showed that surviving to the end was the best option.

Although it was a relatively more powerful combat machine, it did not have any weapons obtained by [Copying]. Moreover, at this time, it was extremely difficult for the Ex-Machina to survive in this world with only its own machine. Just when he was about to make up his mind, he heard unusual movements from a certain direction.

"Ha! See where you're going!"

Puff——hiss!

"Ah!!!!!" Along with someone's heart-wrenching scream, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh reached Xuer's ears.

?

Xiuer looked in the direction of the sound. He felt a huge unknown energy there, attracting him...

Prologue 2

When Xiuer arrived, all he saw was a human corpse.

The orcs that killed this man are still standing here; they did not run away.

Whether out of bravery or sheer fear, after seeing Shuul and recognizing him as an Ex-Machina, the three of them stopped their actions simultaneously.

They probably think that as long as they don't actively attack Xuul, Xuul won't attack them.

Don't want to throw away this food?

Humans are included in the orcs' diet. In this hopeless land, all races do not take humans seriously, and some do not even know that humans exist.

Humans do not have any adaptability to elves, so they cannot use any magic. In this world, humans are the weakest race. There is not even a term called "humans". Other races basically don't know that such creatures exist.

And above humans are orcs.

Without paying any attention to the three frightened beasts, Xuer went straight to the corpse.

Staring at the corpse, several strings of data suddenly flowed through his eyes.

Ok?

What's inside this person's body?

In Xiuer's eyes, there was a huge unknown energy inside the corpse.

Out of curiosity, Xuer squatted down and moved closer to the corpse.

This action alarmed several orcs nearby, and they began to whisper to each other as if they were discussing something.

"The owner has been found dead... and is being retrieved..."

Intermittent voices came into Xuer's mind, and at this moment he seemed to understand something.

"Is this a time traveler, or one with a system?"

Looking at the modern clothes on the corpse, Xuer was extremely certain of his guess that humans in this world would never wear such clothes.

A bold idea came to Xiuer's mind.

But the situation is a bit urgent now, based on the message I just heard.

After the death of this traverser, the system may recycle it automatically.

Time was running out, and he didn't have any extra thoughts. Based on his calculations, he already knew the system's location. He then raised his small hand, and then...

puff--

Xuer's hand stabbed directly into the corpse.

'Got it!'

As Xuer pulled out his little hand, he saw a glowing spherical object being tightly held by him.

But to outsiders, it looked like what Xuer was holding in his hand was the heart of the corpse!

The orcs began to wonder.

Why did this Ex-Machina want to take out the heart of the corpse?

But no one can answer this question, and they don't want to know the answer.

They only knew that the Ex-Machina wanted this corpse.

There's nothing we can do about it.
