Campione World – Sowhere in the Mountains
Far from civilization, deep within a misty mountain range, a lone figure knelt in quiet ditation beneath a worn temple archway. The wind was still. The sky above was pale and endless.
Dressed in a flowing white kimono, her jet-black hair shimred like ink under the faint morning light. Her beauty was the type that demanded reverence—graceful, untouchable, and vaguely dangerous.
Normally, her expression remained calm and distant, the kind born of centuries spent above mortal struggles.
But now... her brow twitched slightly in surprise.
"A chat group? Multiverse...?"
Her crimson eyes narrowed as she examined the strange translucent interface floating in front of her. It displayed nas and files she'd never seen before:
— The World Noble
— The Sadistic Ice Woman
— The Ninja Girl
— The Shinigami
— The Magician
"…There's even a mory log titled The Campione."
A beat of silence passed.
Then she blinked.
"I'm… not even the protagonist?"
She chuckled softly. It wasn't a bitter laugh—it was elegant, and oddly amused.
"How unexpected. How entertaining."

When Jaeger first joined the group, Yamamoto i had pinned a helpful announcent containing a breakdown of the group's features, history, and power systems. Luo Hao, being Luo Hao, devoured it in seconds.
She read through the structure of the multiverse, the inner workings of the chat, the unlocked files and, more importantly, the original events of her own world.
It was… illuminating.
Centuries ago, Luo Hao had risen to the peak of her world's power. As the oldest living Godslayer, feared and revered across the Eastern world, she had stood atop the martial path, untouchable.
She had walked alone for decades with no path forward.
No rival.
No ambition.
No goal.
But now?
Now she felt the stirrings of sothing long thought dead.
"A world beyond worlds… tilines beyond fate…"
She placed a hand over her heart. Magic swirled beneath her skin—vibrant, alive.
"I never imagined such a thing existed. But now that I've seen it… I will not let go of it."
Her lips curled slightly.
"A Godslayer is still a King. And a King deserves the spoils of all realms."
Her attention shifted as she noticed a new notification—her na had been highlighted in glowing orange.
@Luo Hao
She tapped it.
Sender: Nerona Jaeger
"Saint Jaeger… a World Noble from the One Piece world?"
She committed the na to mory.
Then, with all the grace and weight of a queen making her royal entrance, she opened the chat.
[Chat Group]
Luo Hao: "Indeed. I am Luo Hao—the Godslayer. The one and only Martial King."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Uh… Godslayer? That's… unexpectedly chuunibyou."
Uchiha Miyuki: "It's normal. Ani leans hard into chuunibyou sotis but Luo Hao isn't faking it. She's literally killed gods. In her world, Godslayers are also known as Demon Kings."
Uchiha Miyuki: "She's arrogant, prideful, and terrifyingly powerful. A tyrant in every sense."
Nerona Jaeger: "In fact… I heard there's a legend that if a man lays eyes on her, he's supposed to gouge them out as punishnt. No idea if that's true though."
Luo Hao: "It's true. They deserve it. You should have read my profile by now, Saint Jaeger. I trust that when we et across worlds… you'll be prepared."
Sakura Tosaka: "...WHAT?! That's so scary!!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Holy shit! Saint Jaeger she's straight-up talking trash to your face—do sothing!"
Nerona Jaeger: "Honestly… what can I say? We'll just have to wait and see."
In the real world, Jaeger narrowed his eyes, quietly watching the ssages stream across the chat interface.
He didn't mind.
Not everyone would respect him. So people were simply used to standing above others—because of strength, status, or legacy. And honestly?
He understood that.
But understanding it… didn't an he'd let it slide.
"When the ti cos…"
"I'll make sure she receives a proper Celestial Dragon welco. With my own brand."
A quiet smirk played at the corner of his lips.

[ Chat Group ]
Esdeath: "Godslayer, huh… So this is the world you ntioned back when Jaeger obtained the Hand of Hers. Sounds promising."
Esdeath: "Excellent. I've always planned to slay a god myself soday. I imagine the experience will be… deliciously satisfying."
Luo Hao: "Esdeath, is it? You're welco to try. But if you fall in this world… I won't mourn you.Nor will I waste ti avenging you."
Esdeath: "Hmph. No need. If I fall… it only ans I wasn't worthy. I accept that fate without hesitation."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Wow~ Luo Hao-sama is so straightforward. First Jaeger, now Esdeath... She just tells it like it is, huh? No filter at all."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Of course, I'm sure it's all said with the utmost respect. Right? Right…?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "I an, it's not trash talk if you say it elegantly. It's called diplomacy."
Nerona Jaeger: "..."
Esdeath: "..."
Nerona Jaeger: "…Miyuki, remind again, do you want to die or are you just flirting with death professionally now?"
Nerona Jaeger: "Though I'll admit, it is impressive how you managed to fan two fires at once and still pretend to hold the water bucket."
Esdeath:"From where I see it, she didn't disrespect anything. More than that… if she had offered help, that would've been suspicious. I wouldn't have liked it either."
Uchiha Miyuki:"W-Wait! I didn't an it like that! I was just… just… you know—comntating!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Yeah! Like a neutral observer! Background narrator! Definitely not throwing shade or encouraging anyone to throw hands!"
Yamamoto i: "Shut up, Evil Uchiha."
Yamamoto i: "Alright, alright—everyone calm down. We're all acquainted now, so let's try acting like friends for once, yeah?"
Yamamoto i: "And instead of murdering each other in the welco thread, maybe check out the new chat group features. They look important."
Yamamoto i: "@Luo Hao — don't forget your newcor reward. Everyone gets one."
--
Luo Hao raised an eyebrow.
"A reward… simply for joining?"
She glanced at the group's pinned announcents—and sure enough, her profile now had a blinking icon labeled: [Unclaid Newcor Reward].
Curious, she tapped into it, and scanned through the list of rewards previous mbers had received.
— Authority of the God of War
— Perfect Goddess Training System
— Heroic Spirit Embodint & Infinite Mana
— Ti Stop
She let out a quiet, amused breath.
"Fittingly absurd."
As a Godslayer, Luo Hao had long since seized the power of her enemies—divine authorities carved from fallen deities. Why would she envy a handful of multiversal trinkets?
She wouldn't.
At least… that was the case until she saw Jaeger's entry.
— Hand of Hers
— Hercules' Belt
— Chaos Dragon Leviathan
Her expression subtly shifted.
"...He acquired a power equal to a Godslayer's Authority… without even slaying a god?"
His world—One Piece—was clearly far less divine than hers. And yet, with the Hand of Hers and those treasures, Jaeger had carved out a force that not only rivaled hers…
It might even surpass it soday.
"Interesting. This group is no ordinary gathering."
Of course, she wasn't going to take back her sharp words to him earlier. Why would she?
She had no reason to believe she stood beneath him.
Silently, she issued the command in her heart:
"Claim reward."
[Reward Claid Successfully]
[Obtained: Enhancent Core]
"...Huh?"
She blinked. A brief pause.
Then her expression darkened just slightly.
anwhile, in the chat group, Jaeger and the others had begun examining the newly unlocked systems.
[System Update]
New Feature #1: Gift Box System
mbers can now send items (non-living) to one another using Gift Boxes.
New Feature #2: Mission System
Missions will be triggered based on world-specific conditions.
Rewards and triggers remain hidden. Expect the unexpected.

Yamamoto i: "This mission system might be the key to traveling between worlds. But we'll have to wait for one to trigger before we fully understand it."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Hooray! Finally—multiversal tourism is open!"
Sakura Tosaka: "That tone… Miyuki-san, you sound exactly like my sister when she's planning sothing not quite good."
Esdeath: "Wonderful. After inheriting the God of War's power, the world of Aka ga Kill is too fragile for now. I need stronger prey."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Yeah, I'll pass. I'll stay here and write, thanks. But do livestream your travels—great material for a light novel."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Count on it, senpai! I'll get the angles, sound, and maybe a few explosions for dramatic effect."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Anyway… what about Luo Hao? She must've claid her reward by now, right?"
Luo Hao: "Picture."
True to her word, Luo Hao posted a screenshot to the chat group:
[Newcor Reward: Enhancent Core]
[Effect: Allows the user to strengthen abilities, bloodlines, items, and equipnt—for themselves or others.
Successful enhancent permanently boosts level and effect.
Failure results in permanent damage to the target.
Uses: Unlimited]

Uchiha Miyuki: "Ah… that…"
Sakura Tosaka: "It… does sound great?"
Esdeath: "Actually, infinite enhancent could be overwhelming—if you're lucky. If not... well, collateral damage makes things fun too."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Pfft—wait a second. Isn't this just the sa scammy enhancent system from every pay-to-win online ga?"
Yamamoto i: "Exactly. It even has the 'permanent damage on failure' clause. Classic gold-sink design. Whoever programd this system… was a nace."
Uchiha Miyuki: "@Luo Hao — headpats for you. Don't be too sad. Who knows? Maybe your RNG luck is so cracked you'll break the system and beco the enhancent goddess herself!"
Nerona Jaeger: "…Enhancent with unlimited attempts and permanent risk? Use it well, and you're a legend. Use it wrong, and you're a cautionary tale."
Nerona Jaeger: "Just don't use it on yourself right before a fight, Luo Hao. I'd hate to win by default."
