Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

There are many candles and torture instruments nearby, and there are many high-tech electric lights in the room, giving it a sense of a combination of ancient and modern times.

He had changed into a new set of clothes. It was no longer the school uniform he had worn before. Instead, he wore a black suit on the lower body and a white shirt with two buttons undone on the upper body. There was also a black leather whip hanging around his waist.

This bizarre scene, which could only be seen in some comics, made Ye Men stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses.

Then, some memories automatically played in my mind like watching a movie.

About three or four seconds later, after browsing through the newly added memories of Night Gate in my brain at a hundred times the speed, I finally understood what was going on.

The time-travelling skill [Boundary of the Tree of Ages] does not mean walking directly through the gate, but rather replacing it.

I replaced another self in this time and space, or in the words of fantasy novels, I replaced him or her.

My body is still my own, and my appearance is somewhat different from his and mine, but in the eyes of people around me, the me in their memory is myself from the beginning.

In this respect, this is similar to the replacement of presence in Shana.

Not only themselves, but Kagome and the others also replaced them in this era.

It is not a pure replacement of identity. The two monsters, Yuyuko and Lingyuexianji, should also have human bodies, which is roughly similar to the ability to transform.

However, this world does not have any extraordinary abilities, so there is no point in becoming an ordinary human being.

After quickly reviewing the newly added memories, Ye Men unconsciously glanced at the imprisoned girl not far away.

This era is similar to the setting of Cyberpunk. In the 22nd century, the collapse of nature and food depletion have triggered riots and coups.

Afterwards, giant corporations ruled the world and chaebols controlled everything, similar to the dystopian setting in science fiction novels.

The me in this world had just become the controller of a chaebol not long ago.

He was a mischievous person by nature, and without the restraint of his elders, he immediately let himself go.

When he got upset while playing the game, he asked the people in his network operations department to buy the game and operate it himself.

But after waiting for a month without any news, he found out that the head of the network department did not listen to him and was just perfunctorily doing things.

So, he immediately tied up his daughter and wanted to punish her.

Then, the memory stopped abruptly.

The game I played before was called YGGDRASIL, also known as the World Tree.

Thinking back to this, Ye Men suddenly felt a lot of urgency.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the modern society in "Undying King" before Ainz traveled through time.

The game has not been shut down yet, and I am not short of money in this world. I can take this opportunity to do a lot.

"I'm sorry, Miss Shiraori, if I let you go, can we just pretend nothing happened?"

As he spoke, Ye Men waved his hand slightly, and his spiritual power turned into a long whip, cutting the ropes on her limbs.

After being freed, Baizhi immediately pulled the spherical object out of her mouth and gasped for breath.

It took a long time before I calmed down.

"What's wrong with you? Are you suddenly feeling guilty? Where are my parents? How are they?"

"Don't worry, you're the only one who's been kidnapped."

Knowing that she didn't trust him, Ye Men thought for a moment and said again:

"Change of plans, you are no longer useful."

"What was that you just used? A superpower? Or high technology?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"I can help you."

Bai Zhi glanced at the broken ropes on both sides, suppressed the urge to ask more questions, and continued:

"Your goal is the game called World Tree. You got so angry when you found out that everyone in the company wasted a month of your time."

"My network skills are pretty good, and I heard a rumor before that the game balance of World Tree is too poor, and the number of players is decreasing. The company in charge of the operation has already applied to shut down the server."

"As long as we release this news in advance, the number of players will definitely decrease again, and the props in the game will become worthless. It will become easy for you to get any props in the game."

"Compared to this, I actually want to buy the entire game and then have our people develop and design many powerful props." Ye Men murmured.

"is it necessary?"

Bai Zhi looked stunned and cursed inwardly, "You damn chaebol."

If she had not been trying to satisfy her own curiosity and had not been burdened with many concerns, and had almost lost her innocence, she would never be here giving advice to a giant baby who just wanted to buy the ownership of a game to satisfy his own vanity.

"You don't understand." Ye Men shook his head slightly.

"Yes, yes...I don't understand."

Bai Zhi casually agreed twice, and then patiently said:

"Many items in that game are too unbalanced. We have already submitted a request to shut down the server. If we buy it to extend the operation, it will only be a loss-making business. No one in the company will agree to it."

"Even if you are the president of the company, you are too young after all. The people below you will definitely not cooperate with you well."

"Like this time, you knew the cyber department didn't take your words seriously, so you wanted to use me as a warning to others, but it's actually useless."

"For a company, the most important thing is to make money. Everyone only cares about benefits, whether it is short-term or long-term benefits."

"If you want to vent your anger, I know a well-balanced game with an interesting setting that will be the next trend."

"You don't have to say anything." Ye Men couldn't help but interrupt her, "I must acquire the game World Tree. This is a done deal."

Bai Zhi was speechless, but had to speak:

"There is a lot of competition among major companies. You have just inherited the company and you are running a game that is doomed to fail. Our company's reputation will definitely decline rapidly."

"Even if you don't like it, I have to say that the company doesn't belong to you alone, it belongs to all of us."

"You have just taken over, and everything should be based on stability."

This is really troublesome. If the company goes bankrupt, our whole family will be unemployed and end up living in the slums, right?

Now it is not just a matter of curiosity, but also a matter of job security.

"I don't plan to operate it. I just want to collect all the props in that game during this period before the server is shut down. It would be best if I could add some powerful props."

Ye Men naturally had no intention of explaining this.

After all, I'm not very familiar with her.

"It usually takes one month from the application to the official closure. It's hard to design too many items in such a short time. And it's unnecessary... However, if you don't plan to operate it, it won't be a big problem."

"??? Isn't that a big problem?"

"Yeah, if you don't plan to run it, it's just a little hobby."

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"For you chaebols, there are all kinds of weird hobbies. This is just a very common one."

"Besides, the game is about to shut down, so if you really want to buy the whole game, it won't cost that much."

"I can help you."

"Deal." Ye Men said with a smile.

Chapter 103 I'm here to pick you up

"This world is really cruel..."

At night, Kagome sat at her desk, thinking about her worries in boredom.

It has been more than half a day since we came to the new world. This is the year 2138, but it is not as beautiful as we imagined. Instead, it is extremely cruel.

Big corporations rule the world, financial tycoons control everything, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.

The sky was covered with black poisonous clouds, and the sun and stars were almost invisible. Goggles and gas masks had to be worn when going out. The daily food was nutritious drinks. Parents worked hard every day just so that they could go to school.

The tuition fees for primary and secondary schools are ridiculously expensive. My family is actually relatively well-off, at least we can go to secondary school. I heard that many people can't even afford to go to primary school.

It is said that the rich live in a protected area called eco-city, where the water and air are very clean, as if they are living in a different world.

"I wonder where the Night Gate is? Next, we should organize a revolutionary army, defeat the corporations, and regain human freedom, right?"

"Hmm... it seems quite passionate. Maybe I can help."

"However, if we cannot clean up the radiation on the earth and restore the earth's ecological environment, it will be no different from what it is now."

'At most, all the companies will be merged into one, becoming a large company dominated by the Night Gate, and with more good governance, the gap between the rich and the poor will be narrowed.'

While I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Kagome quickly got up, opened the door, and saw Kikyo standing outside the door in pajamas with a tired face. She couldn't help but reveal a look of guilt on her face.

In this world, I and Kikyo are biological sisters.

As I recall, because the tuition was too expensive, Kikyo only went to elementary school and then stopped studying and started working to support his family.

The work she does is mainly related to the Internet, but Kagome is not quite sure what she does specifically.

"Feel sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

Kikyo naturally understood what she meant and shook her head with a smile:

"This is only the first day. To be honest, I've only worked for one day."

"Compared to that, I want to talk to you."

"In my memory, my father placed all his hopes on you, thinking that you could have a higher education, and perhaps find a good job in the city, and bring your family to live in the city."

"If the two of us suddenly disappear in the future, they will definitely be devastated, right?"

“So, before I leave in the future, I want to fulfill their wishes as much as possible.”

"After that, come and have a look from time to time."

"Yeah." Kagome nodded slightly. Although she only knew her parents in her memory as if she had watched a movie, their relationship was not very deep.

But the self in my memory and the actual self are very similar in appearance, except that there are many differences in personality.

In any case, we can't just walk away.

"The connection between the two of us seems to have been severed, right? Do you still have that vague feeling of connection now?"

"No. Although I haven't tried it yet, it seems that body sharing has become a special status that can be canceled at any time."

"Eh...? Can it be found again?"

After saying that, Kagome couldn't help but complain in her heart, this is not a good thing, who would want to get it back?

"I wonder how the others are doing? Our appearances haven't changed at all. If we see each other, we should be able to meet soon..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

The two looked at each other at the same time, their expressions solemn.

The parents had keys and couldn't have knocked on the door.

But this era, unlike modern society, has never been a safe place.

"Who is it?"

"I, Night Gate."

"Why...?"

Hearing the sound of the night door, Kagome breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door.

The next moment, what came into view were a dozen men wearing black protective suits, wrapped tightly all over their bodies.

Everyone held a weapon in his hand, a saber on his waist, and stood in neat rows.

As for Kagome and Kikyo's parents in this world, they were standing in the back row, somewhat restrainedly, wearing the somewhat worn protective suits that they remembered.
