The Cursed Gamer

Chapter 500: I'm Still Learning About Life, My Woman Brought Children for Me….

—

"Psst, hey, Neji~!" a hand softly slapped him on the shoulder.

Neji's eyes opened, a soft breath coming out of his lips. He looked around, finding it all very familiar. For a second, everything seemed like a dream, as if he had just woken up from a long dream. A long nightmare turned into a sweet dream around the end.

"Hey," the same voice called him, and he turned his head back to find a brown-haired girl smiling at him. It was… Ochako Uraraka. "What got you spacing out suddenly?"

"Ah," Neji smiled. "Nothing. It's nothing. How're you, Ochako?"

"Huh," she tilted her head. "I am fine, why are you asking that suddenly?"

"Hey, you two," a sigh broke the two of their conversation, as Ochako cursed silently and Neji turned ahead to find Aizawa, standing behind the podium. "A class is going on. Pay attention, I'm not here to hear your gossip."

Everyone turned around to take a look at him, and a spiky blonde-haired kid even gave him a smug smirk. Neji just smiled and nodded at Aizawa. His eyes caught with Momo in that split moment, who gave him a warm smile.

Aizawa yawned, "That's all for today, then." He started to prepare the documents on his desk. "I know today's been a mentally tiring day because of the surprise quiz, so be sure to get a proper night of rest," Aizawa said. "At the same time, don't forget to study for the finals. Remember, as I said, only the ones who pass the exam will be allowed into the Summer Camp. Class dismissed."

"Thanks, Sensei!" The kids said their goodbyes together, and Neji chimed in too.

Aizawa bowed and then turned to the door to leave. But… he couldn't even take his first step as the space in front of him distorted. Black mist flunked out of a hole in the middle of the air and began to expand into a portal.

The students recognized this phenomenon, which was why their hearts skipped a beat and their faces morphed to express their fright.

The documents fell from Aizawa's hands as his hair began to rise, his eyes gaining a red tint to them. However, before Aizawa's Quirk could entirely act up, a hand covered in draconic scales jumped out of the portal and grabbed Aizawa's skull.

– Crack-!

Before anyone knew it, the hand clutched hard and devastated Aizawa's head into a mess of gory blood and brain matter.

Silence stretched for the briefest instance, as the situation clicked in the students' minds. Their Sensei… their Pro Hero Sensei just died by the grip of a hand. It was Yuga who stuttered first before everyone in the class yelled in unison.

"A-aghh! It's the League!"

Neji wasn't yelling though, he was busy smiling at the scene in morphed nostalgia. Momo shot him a raised eyebrow look and nudged her chin at the gorey scene, but he just shrugged. She shook her head seeing his nonchalance.

Some, including Ochako, noticed his weird set of actions, however, nobody was in the right mind to think of that. They just wanted to escape. "N-Neji, get up, let's run!" she grabbed him by the arm and pulled, but he just smiled at her.

Soon, the portal at the door widened enough to reveal a man with long flowing red hair walking inside with his bloody arms behind his back.

Neji recalled what he felt when he saw this scene for the first time; he had felt an incredible twist on his abdomen when the man slowly turned his glowing red eyes to meet his blue ones, and when Neji's eyes fell on the text hovering above his head.

[Hisashi Midoriya - Draconic Human - Tier 8]

Now?

Neji let out a laugh.

"…" Hisashi Midoriya frowned and clenched his jaw seeing Neji laugh. "You find this funny? Why? No, never mind that. I heard you like dragon breaths a lot?" It wasn't a question, it was a statement as he widened his mouth and fired a breath of liquid plasma.

In the sudden outburst, Neji stopped laughing as the beam reached his nose in an instant and paused. The world paused. All but Momo froze, as time froze, and Neji spoke words out loud, "Rewind 1 Minute."

– Vhmmm~!

The beam retracted, yells were sounded in reverse, Hisashi backtracked on his feet, Aizawa's head restored its damage, and the portal vanished. Time reversed.

Aizawa fixed his documents. "At the same time, don't forget to study for the finals. Remember, as I said, only the ones who pass the exam will be allowed into the Summer Camp. Class dismissed."

"Thanks, Sensei!" The kids said their goodbyes together, and Neji chimed in too.

Aizawa bowed and then turned to the door to leave. But… he couldn't even take his first step as the space in front of him distorted. Black mist flunked out of a hole in the middle of the air and began to expand into a portal.

The students recognized this phenomenon, which was why their hearts skipped a beat and their faces morphed to express their fright.

The documents fell from Aizawa's hands as his hair began to rise, his eyes gaining a red tint to them. However, before Aizawa's Quirk could entirely act up, a hand covered in draconic scales jumped out of the portal and grabbed Aizawa's skull.

Neji stood up. His body vanished, and he appeared in front of the portal. He grabbed the hand that was grabbing Aizawa's head and crushed the forearm bones with a tap.

"Aghr-?!" a groan, and Hisashi released Aizawa's head. 

Neji yanked him out of the portal, his hand flying to grab his red hair, and slammed him head-first against the floor.

"Who dares-!" the little dragon growled, but it was immediately replaced by groans as Neji shattered his other hand with a release shockwave, followed by a tap on his throat to break the bone, as to stop his future dragon breath. Lastly, he tapped on his knees with shockwave-infused hands to break them. "Aghrrr-!!"

Then, he karate-chopped the man's neck and sent him to dreamlands.

Aizawa blinked at the scene, it happened too fast, and by then the portal guy vanished too—he realized today was a bad day to be a villain.

Neji could have chased him, he could also have killed Hisashi, but he wasn't here to do any of that. He was here to enjoy his school life.

"Here you go, Sensei," Neji stood up and pointed at Hisashi while looking at Aizawa. "Pro Villain, Dragon Monarch, Hisashi Midoriya—father of Izuku, I must add. Do with him what you will."

"Ah…" Aizawa blinked and looked around at his students to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Naturally, all students were gawking at the scene as well. 

All, except Momo Yayorozu.

She smiled at her boyfriend's antics.

...

"Hey, Aizawa. Nice catch." Midnight walked fast down the hallways, her heels hitting the floor rapidly as she walked. She greeted and waved at Aizawa, who was taking a tied Hisashi to the Principal's officer.

Aizawa frowned seeing her mundane reaction, but she ignored him and began to run now. Leaving him, she ran toward Class 1-A, a wide grin etched across her face as she appeared at the doorway.

"Student Neji!" she shouted as all the students turned to her in alarm. Neji turned to her too, waving at her. "You come here," she ran to him and jumped. "I owe you a long sloppy kiss!"

Students screamed in alarm as she did just that, pushing him on the floor and riding him as she kissed him like a whore. She didn't mind the gazes from everyone, she wouldn't mind the rumors this would cause, she wouldn't mind losing her job—she just wanted to satiate her hunger to kiss him, and she did just that.

* * *

Class ended with that, and Neji made his way to the parking lot with Momo by his side. Midnight walked beside him, smiling as she stared at the sky in silence.

"Nejiiiii!" An energetic voice cut through the air as Nejire Hado flew and flung her arms around your neck.

"Sister." Neji caught her by the waist and kissed her on the neck. "Did you enjoy the classes?"

"How can I not?" She grinned at him.

"Don't you think you're being too touchy with my boyfriend, sister-in-law?" Momo raised an eyebrow and said. "So many eyes are looking at us."

"I don't care," Nejire pulled Momo's face and placed a kiss on her cheek. "And don't talk like that, it doesn't suit you. We're back to our normal selves, remember?"

Momo smiled, "Perhaps."

The group walked to the parking lot.

* * *

Kimi sat at the car's front and played with Kurai, who ran around her shoulder, and her arm, and hopped around the air.

"Ah, you guys are back," Kimi looked at them, her eyes lingering on their outfits as she held back a laugh. She looked at Neji, "This feels like an elaborate kink play, you know?"

"Is that the only thing in your head?" Neji shook his head and hugged her, pulling her to a kiss that she gave in easily.

He pulled back from the kiss, allowing a trial of saliva to drop, as he held her waist and looked into her eyes. "We need to find a way, a normal way, to save Lady Nagant from the prison. Also, take Toga out of the League of Villains."

"And since when did you like Nagant that much?" Kimi raised an eyebrow. "But fine, I'll cook up a normal plan."

"Thanks. Where are Rumi and Ryukyu? This is the rendezvous point, yet they're not here." he asked, and Kimi pointed to the side. There, a limo came to a stop as the doors opened. Rumi and Ryukyu walked out, both in their hero uniforms.

"Sorry for the delay," Rumi said. "Had to take care of Nine and his goons, and also," she looked behind her, as four more people walked out of the limo. "Rescue some parents."

Neji and Momo's parents, there they were, safe and alive. Gara Hado, Aiko Hado, and their friends, Touma Yayorozu and Miku Yayorozu.

"Oh, my babies," Gara moved to hug her children, pulling Neji and Nejire into a tight hug, and Miku did the same with Momo.

Of course, around the time when Hisashi attacked U.A High, Nine, and his goons attacked the party where Neji and Momo's parents were. Last time, Kimi arrived there in time to save them. This time, official heroes, Rumi and Ryukyu, had taken care of that.

But more than that, his parents were alive.

Lady Luck had returned their souls to this world, from heaven where she'd been keeping them ever since.

Neji recalled he'd have to repay her for all she had done for him over the years.

* * *

For that, though, the three ladies had to be invited into the planet first. 

"If they're going to pretend to play their lives again, how are they going to introduce a religion there?" — Lady Luck had been worried about that so far, but when Neji dragged her into the planet and pulled him into his room, she quit worrying about useless things.

Due to the sudden attack at the U.A., it was deemed unsafe for the students so classes went on hiatus for a few weeks. Neji had the time of the world to finish some of the other pending tasks, one being managing a place to stay for the Abstracts.

Neji rented a place away from his parents' villa, hidden from their knowledge too, and kept the three Abstract Entities there. He and the other girls would often visit it and even spend time there. That is where Neji prepared Lady Luck's gift.

"K-kyah~! I'm pregnant!"

A couple of days after the Hisashi incident, Lady Luck woke up in the morning and cheered with a massive grin plastered over her face.

"No way I'm becoming an aunt before a mother!" Nejire shot Neji a glare, "Hey, as your sister, I should have been the first to get a kid!"Her shouts fell on deaf ears since Neji chose to ignore her and celebrated the incident instead.

All the girls celebrated alone; Rumi and Ryukyu took a leave from their work just to celebrate. A party was held, and since Neji too had a few weeks' vacation, he decided to take the girls to another world to make the celebration grand. They flew to the Fate Earth and celebrated there in a grand manner, in America with Quetzalcoatl's help. 

Neji invited all his girls from the four planets. Godmother also came, and she brought Anodi with her.

"Prima~!" The purple-skinned, pink-haired alien girl flew into his arms, almost tackling him to the floor. 

Neji caught her mid-air and laughed, "Hey, I heard you got sent back to your planet after I was gone?"

"I was! They're such bullies," she grinned at him. "But never mind that. I can't believe this, such a plot twist! I'm so incredibly happy right now, you have no idea!"

The way the entire room's mana particles were charged with happy energies, similar to how a happy puppy shook its tail, Neji could guess.

"I heard you're becoming a dad again?" Anodi asked, and some of the girls raised their eyebrows at the 'again' part. Neji didn't care to answer them and nodded to her. "That is great! Who is the lucky girl? And when will I get my personal little energy ball??"

"Well, you need to make an appointment for that."

"Oh, wow," she gave him a dry look.

"I'm joking," Neji pulled her into a keep. Anodi threw her arms around his neck, her legs going around his waist, as she leaned into the kiss that she had missed for millennia.

….

Neji was happy for Luck, as was everyone else. There was nobody really jealous, though some were envious. However… two girls in particular appeared to be down. 

Lady Life, and Kimi – for their reasons, were sad. Neji noticed Kimi first, who sat near a window and stared outside with a sad smile on her face. The sunlight lit up her maid dress, and she played with a bar of chocolate.

At first look, she appeared fine, cheerful even, but Neji knew her too well to miss the hidden look under her eye. Neji couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

She turned to look at him, suddenly smiling genuinely. "Hey, young master."

"Hey," Neji leaned against the wall and smiled at her. "You want a kid? We already have Kurai, but if you want more you know you just have to ask me."

She giggled, but it slowed down as her smile dropped. Kimi sighed, "I told you we have a son already. This celebration… It reminded me of that kid. Where is he now? How is he doing? How will I ever show my face to a son I abandoned?" Kimi gulped; she regretted abandoning the son she had with him while pretending to be Lucille. "I wonder if things would have gone differently if I hadn't…"

"You already told me the reason, Kimi," he stopped her from talking and ruffled her hair. She laughed at that gesture. "I told you I'll find him one day and do what I can, don't be down."

"I know," Kimi nodded, she appeared a lot more lighthearted now. "You should go talk to Lady Life though. She is much more saddened than me."

"Ah right," Neji looked to the side. His eyes caught Quetzalcoatl, dressed in a classic Mesoamerican tribe outfit, as she danced on a stage for all girls to see. His eyes met hers and she winked; he waved back at her with a smile and searched for Life again.

In one corner of the room, he noticed the usually happy and jolly Lady Life sitting at one corner of the room, alone. That sent a pang of pain in his old heart.

Neji didn't need to ask for her cause of sadness. He already knew. She missed Ra, who had been killed by Primordial Genesis Stream while trying to protect Neji. And for all of Neji's powers, he couldn't bring him back – it had always been weird with Ra like that.

He had tried, but while his Omniscience said it would work, it'd have complications. His existence was too "flawed", apparently, and if Neji brought him back directly with the usage of Omnipotents, the Ra who'd return would have further flaws. Instead of Ra, an eldritch horror might return instead. 

That's why Neji hadn't brought him back yet, and Life agreed to wait as well, till they'd find a better solution. But if Omnipotent wouldn't both, both of them were unsure about what would.

Still, he couldn't see her be like that on such a happy occasion. Neji approached Lady Life with a drink, "Sup."

"Hey," Life managed a smile. "Nice party, I'm happy for Luck."

"I know you are," he gently pulled her head to his chest. She went silent, and he stood like that until she relaxed. When he sensed her relax into his embrace, he sighed.

Neji gave Luck his seed as that was the greatest gift he could give, and while that made her greatly happy, as well as everyone else, two of his loveliest girls had become sad in melancholy. 

What was the point of all these powers if he couldn't make two women happy? He didn't like that. Neji slowly said, "I'll find a way to fix it."

As if on cue, his system message rang.

[Ding. He Beyond Omnipotence would like to meet you.]

[He's summoning you, and you can't reject it.]

Blinking, Neji stared at it. 'What's up with these two fuckers and forcefully summoning me out of the blue?'

He sighed and looked at Life, and then around the room to look at the others in the room, "Girls, I am go-"

Neji's body vanished.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In a realm beyond omniversal time and space, inside a plain office with painted white walls, a black desk, with a chair on one side, and a stool on the other, Neji appeared with a puff of smoke. 

He found himself sitting atop the stool, in front of a coat-wearing man in the chair. Neji looked for a bit, before focusing solely on the man in front of him. He wore a black coat, his red eyes falling over the titleless book he was reading.

[Admin #1 | Amon Rakirthine]

[He Beyond Omnipotence, the Morning Star]

"I thought you'd be called Amonorthine Raki," Neji said, reading the text hovering over the man's head. "But Amon Rakirthine does sound better."

Plus, from how plain the office was, he seemed less of a show-off than that Raki woman. She was also showing off her titles; Devourer of Dimensions, Eliminator of Conundrums, and whatnot. This man seemed rather pleased with just 'the Morning Star'. 

On top of that, he reminded Neji of the Cube's Will; naturally, since the Will was based on this man's appearance, as the Will had admitted itself.

Hearing Neji talk, the man, his eyes still on the book, smiled. "You're calm, that is nice," said Amon as he gently put the book down. His blood-red eyes met Neji's and… a shiver ran down his spine. He smiled, "Forgive me, I have this bad habit of staring at the soul of everyone I meet. Having to be cautious and all, sorry for the chills."

"What does a being of your caliber need to be cautious of?" Neji asked and the man let out a soft chuckle.

"Oh, many things," he snapped a finger and pointed at the ceiling. The white ceiling had vanished, and instead, there was endless space above, but at the very end of that, a solid blue ceiling… no, a wall waited. "For example, if you remember, your System A.I had sent a false warning about you breaking Rule #3 of Batch A3. That translated to: The Gamer has shattered the wall between Reality and Dreams. That wall right there is that."

"...I don't get it."

"That is the edge of the 'whole verse', dummy," Amon said, smiling, "the 'Fourth Wall', if you will."

"...." Neji frowned. "What?"

His finger pointed at… me. "Hard words to start this meeting with, but there is an entity sitting behind that wall and taking note of everything; an entity whose whole purpose is to type, to record everything that is going on here, even this meeting, down to the T. I like to call him, the Beyond Beyond the Wall." Neji stared at the man in silence. "I'm not saying we're characters in a novel, though I did think of that at some stages of my life. Dark times. But, it wouldn't be odd if those words that are being typed are indeed serialized in some other world outside the wall, I don't know."

"There is no way I am a character in a novel."

"I just said you're not, yes, you're not," Amon smiled. "We are as real as we can be, but I'm just saying, in a distant world, our stories might be being told as if it's mere fantasy."

"Ah."

"So yes, my son," Amon stood up, knocking a finger on the table as a door opened at one corner of the room. "Follow me and allow me to explain why you should join… The Empire." he grinned, "Outside your birthright as its Prince, of course."

"What?"

Neji stood up as the man walked into the door. He quickly followed, frowning deeply as he demanded, "Hey, what? I didn't quite catch that."

"Well, to start," they entered a narrow hallway, with paintings hanging from both sides of the wall as Amon spoke. He pointed at a painting, passing by it, but Neji stopped in front of it. It took him off guard. "Remember the photo? We took it when you were six."

Neji stared at the picture; indeed, it was him in his first life, along with his mother on his right, and his… father on his left.

Neji turned to glare at Amon, "There is no way. My father vanished at six, and I have no memory of him."

"My son, you're an omnipotent being, how do you not have the memory of a human?" Amon turned to him with a laugh, his hands in his pocket.

"...."

"Exactly," Amon shrugged. He spread his arms and white flames covered him; his raven black hair turned white, and his red eyes turned blue. "A graphic effect of my old phoenix powers; that's why you look that way."

"A color-match on our degree of power doesn't seem very convincing."

"Fair," Amon dropped the theatrics and returned to normal. "But think about it, why do you think a man as cautious as me would give something as dangerous as the Gamer System to someone unrelated to me? I gave it to you because you're my son."

"...."

"Ah but," he raised a finger, "Don't think that your achievements are unworthy just because you're the Admin's kid; unlike me and your mother, you were a normal human and achieved all of this yourself. If you actually died in your journey, you would have died, we wouldn't have granted any biased service."

"You sound like a bad parent," Neji said. "Not that I believe that you're my father at all. Where is the proof? You're just making stuff up."

Amon laughed, "I'm sure you found Raki familiar to your first life's mother when you met her. Plus you met the Cube's Will and found it familiar too, right? That's because, as you know, that spirit is based on my appearance; but how did you know how I look if you never met me? See?" he sighed a moment later. "I know this is sudden and I did leave you behind, but I had to leave the omniverse back then to take care of a massive threat, that's why I vanished."

Neji continued frowning, "And then my mother turned into a whore. Why would a being of your caliber let your wife turn into a whore? I don't buy it."

"Ah that," he blinked. "It's been longer than an eternity since we've been together, so we do a lot of stuff for fun. Though she's into girls; other than myself, she doesn't like men."

"What?"

"She's Amon-sexual."

"Ah," Neji nodded. "I understand." That was similar to Kimi, in a way, so he could relate. Was that why Raki stepped up to help his maid?

Amon continued, "So yes, it wasn't her. Raki left with me, we both needed to be there to take care of the threat, and so we left your sister with you, who took the appearance of Raki and took care of you for the next 9 years.."

"And I suddenly have a sister?" Neji threw his arms in the air. "You're just making stuff up now, at least try harder."

"Oh come on, use your [Omniscience], of course, you'd have had older siblings—why else do you think we decided to play mortal and gave birth to you as normal humans? That's because we tested out before by having children at our full powers, and it turned out to be a mistake." he said as he walked, "That's why when your Kimi, as Lucille, was impregnated by you, Raki sent her a warning to make sure Kimi keeps her mana in check, to make sure the kid is born a normal human."

"...."

He continued, "We learned it the hard way, and we didn't want it to happen again. The child we conceived was messed up in many ways. Not any different from your own son, Ra, in comparison, if only much worse." Amon said, noticing Neji's deep frown. "Hah. It's a lot to catch up on, I know, and I'm sorry for that. Don't worry I am not demanding you to call me 'father' all of a sudden and such, I am aware that I haven't taken care of you in that way to demand that. So just relax and listen to me from a neutral viewpoint."

"I'm trying," Neji closed his eyes, sighed, and nodded. Omniscience, right, it didn't hurt to rely on that from time to time.

Amon began to walk again and Neji followed, "In the beginning, I and Raki had a kid. It was a genderless, figureless, and naturally mischievous entity, whom we decided to call 'Amun-Ra' as a merge of our two names."

"Aha," Neji snapped his finger in realization. "Did her mere existence ripple through all of reality and shift certain things? She's the reason why the fusion of Egyptian Gods named Amun-Ra is so dangerous, just because they share the name?"

Amon stopped and looked at him, smiling, "Yup. Now you're on track. Amun-Ras are extremely dangerous, so I'm glad you never had to fight one in your life."

The two of them continued as they passed over more pictures, and in one Neji caught the picture of a woman who looked like she was right out of an inverted color picture; Neji had a feeling that was the elder sister that Amon was talking about.

"We managed to calm her down, for the most part, after eons of trying, but even then she is extremely mischievous by human standards. That's why she turned into a whore when we left her with you. Just on the day Raki and I finished the threat and returned, she felt our presence and thought it funny if you died to a shark's face."

"Why didn't you just reverse time and play parents with me again?"

"Boy, even if you're a normal human, you're the child of two outerversal entities – it'd be possible to time-travel and fix, but it'd be greatly messy. After all, you were born as a Singularity." Amon said and Neji frowned.

Neji spoke next, "So it's not the Gamer System that gave me the benefit, but my sole existence? I suppose it makes sense. Otherwise, the Primordial God would have sent Time-Snipers to my head a long time before I got the Armor of Singularity skill." Neji tried to guess, and Amon nodded in affirmation. "As your daughter, this Amun-ra knew a time-travel fix was impossible here, that's why she did this mischievous thing, and as a result, She Beyond Omnipotence and you had to follow up with a fix."

"Exactly," Amon stopped in front of a painting, and Neji stopped too. They both looked at it. "...For what it counts, She's being punished for it."

Inside the painting, was the same negative-girl, tied in the center of an outer verbal-class star… There were a zillions of bugs, disgusting, brutally morphing, eldritch, and other types of horrific insects biting her body in this live stream – and although Neji couldn't hear her scream, the way her face morphed didn't leave much to the imagination.

Neji cursed softly seeing the gore; it was on a scale that even he found stupid.

"Well," Neji shook his head, "I guess she deserves it." Then he looked at Amon. "Let's continue our walk."

Amon smiled, "Great," and continued walking. "Another thing, for what it counts, your current parents in the Hero Academia world are avatars of myself and Raki. Raki and I felt like that's the least we could do for not being there for you as a kid. Of course, they are their own people, they're not clones, but yes. If you notice, your mother Gara has a beauty mark near her eye, just like Raki, and your father Aiko, has electricity powers, as well as hair-changing powers. In my younger days, I started with those powers too."

"...."

For another time, Neji stopped on his path and stared at the man for dropping bombshell after bombshell on his head.

…..

Excluding all the personal lore drop, in the end, after hearing the entire thing about the Empire and its purpose, Neji was shell-shocked. He decided to join. It just needed verbal confirmation for now, though he'd have to fill up some papers after he'd completed his first task.

[Quest: Repair the Cube Omniverse's Will – has been added.]

It's a long quest, and it'd take millennia, but Neji was happy that he had the chance to repay the Will of the Omniverse for all of its help. 

As a result of accepting the quest, Amon shared a way to fix Neji's son, Ra. It came to Neji as a great shock and pleasant surprise at the news.

"When he was first born, it was my first time being a grandpa, so I named him based on Raki and my initials. R-A. So it's only natural I'll help." – this was exactly what Amon said before he explained the method and sent Neji away.

Of course, Neji didn't suddenly start to see him as his father; that man was extremely manipulative, Neji caught on to that from the subtle signs he showed on Neji. Such as showing an emotional photo from childhood right at the beginning.

Still, Neji had to work with him for his safety, as well as the safety of everything that existed. That's why he joined the Empire as one of its Kingdoms. It didn't hurt if the Emperor of the Empire was his father; even if he didn't accept anyone other than Aiko as his father at the moment.

So, with that, he was returned to his home, waiting to be called.

Instead of returning inside the house in the Hero Academia world, however, Neji decided to change trajectory midway and dropped into the Prime Omniverse. He had one important thing to do here, it turned out. But before that, he needed to calm the tides in the Prime in case some God came to bother him.

So, he needed to talk to Eurynome first.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It was a realm of pure white, with all but a soft bed, and a chair beside it. On the chair, Neji was sitting down.

He put his hand inside the inventory and dragged out Eurynome Celestine, who he threw against the floor.

Instead of wasting time growling, she had her hands tied behind her, and she tried to free it. She succeeded right away, to her own surprise, and leaped at Neji.

She choked his throat and glared at him, "You bastard! Die! Die! Die- ak."

Neji punched hard on her tummy, and her eyes went wide. She let go of his throat and clutched her tummy and he looked at her with an amused smile.

Neji grabbed her by the face and slammed her against the floor, rising on top of her and sighing, "Don't be like this, Eury," he said, "lose your clothes, let's talk."

* * *

"I hate you," All spent, as well as cooled off of her rage, Eurynome Celestine laid naked on her belly beside him. 

The bed was super soft, her body almost submerged in it, yet she managed enough energy to growl. "Kill me, or I'll kill you the first chance I get."

"Oh, don't be dramatic, you will not," he slapped her ass, which jiggled. "You love me and I don't hate you either. Your husband is dead, you have a better one now, admit it, or go cry in your room. Just don't bother me. Every time you try to kill me, I'll punish you harshly, and no, it's not just sex."

"...."

"I'll send you back to Nowhere now. But before that," he said and dove a hand into the void. "Take care of this girl."

He yanked out a figure from the void, a red-haired girl, much similar to Eurynome in appearance, who was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Fotia, the Fire Goddess.

Although Neji hated her, in the changed timeline he did make her fall in love with him, and threw her away. So it didn't hurt to bring her back. More than that though, bringing her back will act as a key to keep Eurynome chained in all her actions.

Neji's deal with She Beyond Omnipotence, Raki, was that he'll take over all that belonged to the Primordial and he did just that. So why would he not enjoy that? Why would he let such a fine babe go to waste? Every time he fucked her like a whore, he felt great, he had no reason to kill her.

"She was devoured by some creatures of void, it took some effort to revive her. So take care of her," he placed her on the bed and ran a hand through Eurynome's hair. "Don't be hasty. For your daughter's sake."

"....."

* * *

With that, nobody would bother him with the mission he had to do in Prime. Neji had to take a moment to think about how to approach this, and in the end, he decided to play the role of a master instead of a father. 

He was sure he wouldn't fill the role of a single father properly, anyway. Kimi couldn't come even if he asked her to, so he'd have to do it all by himself.

Neji walked through the streets of some third-world country, with people running all around, and many eyes locked on his foreign features. 

His long hair flowed in the wind, and he rubbed his beard as he approached the scene ahead.

Sitting on the ground, playing with stones, a kid was uncaring of his surroundings. People were moving around him, living their daily routine, while ignoring him—who was just another little kid by the road.

Who would ever think that the Son of a God and a God-Queen?

People's chatter, buzzing on the back of his head as he filtered them out, was far less annoying than the bright sun in the sky. He was sweating, and being under the sun without any shirt hurt his small back. It burned. But he didn't care, he was used to it.

The boy continued his game, smiling alone and counting stones, while the people of the town continued to ignore him.

Until a shadow cast over him.

"Huh?"

Neji's voice, different and older than usual, called for the kid. 

"This parentless punk. Why are you on the road, kid?" Neji said, looking at the kid with a hidden smile.

His first child, his son, that child was special, even if he lacked any powers. He was also the savior of Ra, as the plan was to pour his Soul into Ra's Core; then perhaps also send him on an adventure to another world.

Sadly, the only way to save Ra as well as give him a soul was to merge his body with the soul of someone; and what's a better soul than someone he shared blood with? 

Plus, Neji was sure this nameless son of his, who didn't have a name so he'd be calling him Ra starting from now on, wouldn't mind having the body of a Wooden Celestial God.

After spending a certain amount of time in the Prime Omniverse, Neji returned to the party in Fate world and continued the celebration.

He apologized to Lady Life and Kimi for not consulting them before deciding on what to do with their kids, but they were rather happy at the news.

"Anyway, I sent him to the One Piece world," Neji said. "That is apparently where the Beyond Omnipotent Duo originated from, and since they named him, it's pretty symbolic to send him there too."

"I'm glad," Lady Life hugged him, as did Kimi. "We're happy."

With that, the situation there was taken care of for now. Neji had purposefully slowed down that One Piece world's time so it would be years in the Hero World until Ra grew up, and hopefully by then Neji and the girls would be older and parent-material.

….

After a couple of days passed, the group moved to the religious plan they had for this world. It was a little different than the other ones they initiated.

Neji wanted to lead a normal life for now, so he wasn't leading the plan. It was being led by the three "Alien Ladies" who came from outer space.

Neji sat in the living room, with Kurai on his shoulder, Nejire by his side, and Kimi on the floor between his legs. Momo, Rumi, Ryukyu sat beside her, all watching the TV. 

— It was a big-big world, but we thought we were bigger, pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker…

Lukas Graham's [7 Years] played softly in the background, while they watched the TV hanging on the wall, where one of the three ladies gave an interview.

["So, madam,"] the interviewer asked the green-haired bombshell of a woman, under the soft music. ["You see in our society we do not believe in God as much as we used to a few centuries back. So how do we know for sure that you're a Goddess, like you claim, and not an alien?"]

["Hmm, if we're talking about that…"] Lady Life held a finger on the cheek and pondered. 

["The government has tried to capture you many times now, trying to be sure you're not a hostile entity. But every time they tried to capture you, they always failed because, they said and I quote, terrible guilt filled their heart as if they were pointing guns toward their own mother. So far, that led to believe that you are a mind manipulation quirk use-"]

["Ah,"] Lady Life blinked and snapped a finger. ["I know. Look at the sky."]

— I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me, so I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories…

["...Sky? But lady, we are inside an offi-"] Before the interviewer could finish, their surroundings changed and they appeared in a grassy land. The interviewer gasped and looked around, while Lady Life held her hands in a prayer motion towards the sky.

["Oh, Goddess,"] Out of the three ladies, Contessa Fate said dramatically, and Lady Luck followed Lady Life's pray. ["Show these fools a miracle."]

The sky twinkled with light and a moment later, a white-haired girl with sky-blue eyes formed. She looked just like Neji but as a girl. Of course, it was Sisty; she wanted a real body after all of this was done, and he had given her just that. So who can be a better candidate to fulfill the role of this world's Supreme God, if not the voice in Neji's head?

"Oooh, she looks good, young master."

"Fate's performance isn't bad either."

"It'd have been much better if I had a cute little sister instead of you, Neji- ak."

The camera focused on Sisty, who smiled down at the world and snapped her finger at the sky. The blue sky turned transparent, showing the cosmos beyond, and gasps filled around the world. With another snap of her finger, Sisty changed the entire solar system. These new planets appeared out of thin air, yet perfectly falling into the solar system — all three of them were earth-like planets, coming from other universes.

The Naruto Earth.

The Fate Earth.

The DxD Earth.

All three earths joined the Hero Academia solar system; after a few days of scientific confirmation, that three planets had indeed popped out of nowhere, the people began to believe. All the words that came out of the Goddesses' mouths were holy.

With that, everything was set.

He was the Primordial God, the Celestialdraconicsapien, and The Gamer. As the Lord of both Omniverses, he could do whatever he wanted; even if that was playing mortal.

Neji was free to play around in this world, to continue his normal life, while finishing the little work he had left during vacation.

Life was great. Even if it all started with a curse, it ended with a blessing.

Neji wasn't a fan of stories that ended with a 'happily ever after' line, but…

At that rate, was it wrong to say his own life passed in the tone of happily ever after?

Master4thWall Author Note: THANK YOU 🙏🙏@ShortyMotor, truly, for 3 years of proofreading. 

Thanks to all the Patrons for the support, and all readers for sticking to me through the highs and lows. I never thought we'd come to this many chapters into the story, a whooping 500 chapters, and more than 1 million words! Unbelievable.

The formalities aside, this is where Neji's 'The Cursed Gamer' journey ends. If fate, on an outerversal scale, wills it, we will see his face in different stories of mine. And speaking of that, if it's not obvious yet, the [Hollow King] who helped Neji fight in the Void against the Primordial God, it's our favorite [The Venerable One] from Eternal Samsara. A more obvious connection is Hashirama Senju, the MC of our Hashirama's Voyage story — that is indeed [Ra].

So since all of these are connected by the threads of higher destiny, and recorded by the Being Sitting Beyond the Wall, perhaps we'll see Neji again—we already saw Kimi once, back in Chapter 60 of Eternal Samsara. So I hope those of you who are yet to give those two stories a chance, you'll do so right away!!

On a last note, I must demand all your power-stones for today, even alts. AS WELL AS the two remaining days of the week. DO NOT FORGET! Oh, and, I've posted a last character sheet in both my Discord and Patreon (free post), so check that out too!! 

WITH THAT SAID,

Your favorite unreliable author,

The Being Beyond the Wall, Master4thWall.
