Chapter 7: Information About The Avatar World
Chapter 7: Information About The Avatar World
[Hearing Viktor's suggestion, you shook your head. "No need to be hasty. Let's lay low for a day or two while I digest all the information you have about the world of avatar masters."]
[Viktor didn't disagree with your decision and began telling you about the most powerful avatar masters he knew.]
[For instance, you learned about an avatar master who was one of the most feared among them all. He went by the codename "Death Envoy," and his avatar was a sentient category tool-type called the "Book of Death."]
[The Book of Death avatar appeared as a black book with a skull on its cover and the title "Book of Death" emblazoned on it. It was said that its ability could kill anyone whose name was written in it.]
[However, it had significant downsides. For example, the appearance of the target had to be imagined while writing the name to prevent killing someone with a similar name. Additionally, using the Book of Death once reduced the user's lifespan by five years.]
[Another powerful avatar master was codenamed "Hellhound," who had the sentient category beast-type avatar known as "Cerberus."]
[Cerberus was a three-headed dog, twice the size of a car. It possessed monstrous strength, and its bite could inflict lethal rabies, killing anyone within a minute.]
[As an avatar master, Viktor had received information about many powerful avatar masters active in the avatar world. According to Viktor, there was a site dedicated to avatar masters.]
[Only avatar masters could access this site since the Avatar Master Site itself was a remote category tool-type avatar. Normal humans couldn't see what was written on the site, even if they stumbled upon it.]
[After Viktor informed you about everything you needed to know as an avatar master, you both realized it was already dark outside, and the gang members you had beaten up had already awakened and become conscious.]
[When the gang members woke up and realized you had become not only the deputy gang leader but also an avatar master, they all showed you respect and immediately bowed to greet you.]
[Only the former deputy gang leader knew about your confrontation with Viktor. The rest of the gang members were unconscious during your battle. Knowing that Viktor wanted to keep his defeat a secret, the former deputy gang leader remained silent.]
[So, on the surface, Viktor was still the gang leader, and his authority remained intact since the gang members hadn't witnessed his defeat.]
[You didn't care about such trivial matters. Even if you became the president of this world's nation, it wouldn't matter to you as it was merely an identity within the god simulation.]
[You had already decided to be ruthless with yourself to maximize the benefits within the god simulation. Even if becoming a slave again would make you stronger and provide more opportunities, you wouldn't hesitate to do it in the simulation, let alone merely becoming the deputy gang leader.]
[In your home world, you had limits. But in the simulation, you decided to go all out to save the god-forsaken world. There was no such thing as a free lunch in reality, and sacrifices were necessary to gain power.]
[For now, Viktor proved useful, so you didn't mind letting him enjoy his position as the gang leader of Sky High.]
[Noticing that it was already dark outside, Viktor asked, "Do you want to sleep at a five-star brothel in the red light district? I heard there's a new girl there, a beautiful virgin. I can use my connections to let you have her first."]
[In response, you shook your head. "I have no interest in women and wealth; only power intrigues me. So just book me a room at a five-star hotel and transfer some money to my bank card."]
[Since you were the true power behind Sky High, Viktor complied with your requests. He knew how powerful you were and dared not offend you.]
[It was worth noting that Viktor wasn't weak. In the avatar world, Viktor was considered above average, which allowed his drug trafficking and smuggling operations to spread across several cities without interference from other avatar masters.]
[Your avatar, Invisible Providence, was a nemesis to almost any avatar master and enemy. The invisible tentacles were undetectable and imperceptible, making them the perfect weapon against avatar masters, whose avatars might be durable, but their human forms were not.]
[You were confident that in a one-on-one situation, you could defeat the Death Envoy and kill him before he could write your name in his Book of Death avatar.]
[Unlike most avatar types that had limited range, the advantage of domain-type avatars was their almost limitless range. You could use your invisible tentacles as far as you could perceive.]
[Furthermore, domain-type avatars were considered the rarest type of avatars since those who awakened them could rule over a specific domain.]
[In your case, you ruled over the domain of invisibility and identity. The ability to summon invisible tentacles was merely a manifestation of your domain of invisibility.]
[From what you could deduce, your avatar was likely a rare mutant avatar with properties of both tool-type and domain-type avatars, as most domain-type avatars didn't have "tools" or "manifestations."]
[Knowing this, you were glad you had awakened such a powerful avatar. It not only increased your chances of survival in the avatar world but also provided the means to defend yourself in the god-forsaken world after your god simulation ended and you brought your power back with you.]
[You had to admit it was quite ironic for someone like you, who planned to save the god-forsaken world from the enslavement of the Outer God, to have eldritch-like powers.]
[Even your "identity distortion" was similar to the effects of mental pollution and insanity inducement that Outer Gods and eldritch horrors possessed.]
[You shook your head and consoled yourself, "It doesn't matter if my power is similar to the Outer Gods. What matters most is not the power itself, but the user. Even a beneficial power like healing can be used for torture."]
