In the taxi, Shinichi Kudo sent a message every five minutes, feeling slightly more at ease only when he received a reply from his mother.
“Driver, please hurry, I have an urgent matter.”
“I’m sorry, but there are a lot of traffic lights on this route. This is already the fastest I can go,” the driver replied as he drove leisurely while listening to the radio.
Frustrated by the driver’s attitude, Shinichi was about to argue when Cyrus placed a hand on his ...

As soon as the weather cleared, Cyrus completed the discharge procedures and left the hospital.
The first thing he did after leaving was call Ryoko Tamiya and head to the café where she was waiting. He picked up the remaining documents from her. With these documents, he estimated that his fusion progress would reach 90%.
“Are you attempting to merge with the Parasitic Beasts? How are the experiments going?” Cyrus asked as he skimmed through the documents, noticing some...

The reporter's question left Cyrus momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
Fortunately, a group of police officers arrived just in time. They approached the reporters, and the officer in charge, holding a document, said, "The details of this incident are classified. You are not authorized to know more. If you have questions, please ask something else."
With the police intervening, the media had no choice but to back off, though they quickly shifted the conversation.

The tremendous force pushed Cyrus back several steps, but fortunately, the next attack was blocked by Migi.
Their clash was so fast that their movements left afterimages in the air, accompanied by the relentless clanging of metal against metal. Cyrus, finally catching his breath, inspected the iron sword in his hand. The poor sword, which he had only just acquired, was now hopelessly bent and misshapen from the earlier battle.
Seeing that it couldn’t immediately eliminate...

"Look, everyone! Could that suspicious guy be the one we're looking for?" a male student exclaimed, pointing at Parasite A in the corridor. Because everyone was taking emergency shelter, his slow pace seemed odd.
"He's searching for Shinichi—no, for my presence. The crowd interference is preventing him from pinpointing my exact location."
"What if he finds us?" Shinichi asked Migi.
Migi answered without hesitation, "He's coming with intent to kill and will definitely attac...

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. School and tuition have been taking up a huge chunk of my time – I'm spending around 12 hours a day on them. It's been pretty exhausting, and I haven't had much time to work on the story.
I promise I haven't forgotten about the story, and I'm really looking forward to getting back to it as soon as I can. Your support means a lot to me, and I appreciate it more than I can say.
I can't give an exact date for th...

"Delicious."
Outside the glass, Lila, the female parasite, remarked at the same time she devoured the upper half of a person.
"The taste of these sweet shrimp is really good." Despite the nearby bloody carnage, Cyrus's appetite remained unaffected. He calmly chewed on the sweet shrimp in his mouth.
It wasn't until Lila had killed everyone nearby and was preparing to enter the luxury goods store that she accidentally caught sight of Cyrus, who was enjoying his meal. His ca...

"So what are we then?"
It was clear that Tamamiya Ryoko really wanted to integrate into human society, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten pregnant.
"How should I know? You parasitic beings resort to eating other humans just to keep yourselves alive. It's cannibalism, why do you do this?" Shinichi said with some anger.
"It's simple, because their nourishment can only come from humans. Although they can eat regular food, only certain components found in human bodies can sat...

The dense forest echoed with the sounds of pursuit as Arthur and his team raced towards the extraction point. The smoldering remains of the Hydra base behind them cast an eerie glow against the night sky.
"Almost there," Agent Daniels panted, consulting his GPS. "Extraction point is just beyond that ridge."
Suddenly, Arthur's newly enhanced Cursed Energy Sensing flared to life. He skidded to a halt, throwing up a hand to stop the others. "Wait! It's a trap!"

As Arthur and his team crept deeper into the labyrinthine Hydra base. The air was filled with tension.

Agent Daniels shot him a withering glare. "Can it, Wilson. This isn't some Hollywood—"

The QuinJet hummed softly as it cut through the night sky. Arthur Thompson sat quietly, his eyes closed in concentration as he focused on the subtle energy flowing through his body. The past few weeks of training had honed his control, but he knew he was barely scratching the surface of his potential.
"Thompson," a sharp voice cut through his meditation. "Mission briefing in five."
Arthur opened his eyes to see Agent Maria Hill standing at the front of the jet, her expression ster...

Arthur stared at the holographic prompt floating before his eyes, his mind racing to process the events of the past few hours.

With a calculated pause, Arthur mentally selected 'Y'.

Arthur jolted awake, his head pounding. The harsh fluorescent lights above him were a far cry from the soft glow of his bedside lamp. He sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes, and froze. This wasn't his bedroom.
Instead of his cozy apartment, he found himself in a sterile, white room lined with rows of identical beds. Men and women in dark uniforms bustled about, some still asleep, others making their beds with military precision.
"What the hell?" Arthur muttered, his voice coming out d...

“What information do you want?”
The sudden appearance of Cyrus left Tamiya Ryoko feeling as if she were shrouded in fog. All of his abilities were hidden beneath his exterior. If he hadn't revealed his true identity, she would never have guessed that Cyrus was a parasite.
“We are completely different. I have no interest in humans; rather, I am very curious about parasites.”
Cyrus returned his right hand to its normal form and continued, “You must have some d...

Returning to the Kendo club, Cyrus took a complete longsword, wrapped it in black cloth, and slipped it into his backpack. He wasn’t there to study, after all. He had made a hole in the bottom of his backpack the previous night. Though carrying a long object might look strange, it was better than holding it openly.
“This fusion speed is really frustrating.”

What's it like to become an idol out of the blue?
Cyrus was diligently attending class when a group of younger students appeared at the door, both boys and girls, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the rumored Sword Saint.
“Is it the guy with glasses? He looks kind of ordinary. Maybe he'd be handsome without them.”
“No, Miho, you’ve got it wrong. The Sword Saint is the one behind him. Look at his sunny smile. He’s totally my type.”

The next morning, Cyrus was walking on his way to school.
"Only 2% progress in one night. At this rate, even if I stay until my walking time ends, I won't fully integrate this shapeshifting talent."
Gaining Fantasy Points wasn't easy. He hadn't earned any while working as a security guard at Vought International for a month. So, having finally entered a fantasy world, Cyrus was determined to obtain at least two talents, if not more.

"Damn it, I've been waiting for you for three hours," Cyrus muttered impatiently under the streetlight.
Not far behind him, another figure stopped alongside him.
"Damn it, I've been waiting for you for three hours," the figure's voice was stiff, as if reciting word for word.
Cyrus turned to look at the follower who had been trailing him. The middle-aged man looked ordinary, his white shirt stained red with blood, his face pale under the moonlight, devoid of any vitality in h...

Facing the mocking laughter from the audience, Cyrus simply raised his middle finger silently.

When Cyrus calmly uttered these words, a loud bang! Instantly ignited the fury of everyone present. Several hotheaded indi...

As the bell rang and the students began to leave the classroom, Cyrus intentionally stayed behind.
"Teacher, I think I dropped something. I'll stay and look for it," he said, using a random excuse to get the female teacher to leave.
She didn't suspect anything and walked out of the classroom.
Cyrus then opened the glass cabinet and found two bottles of concentrated sulfuric acid. After inspecti...

At that moment, Shinichi Izumi snapped back to reality, looking up to see his teacher standing right in front of him.
"Playing games during class, huh?"
The teacher held Shinichi's phone, showing the game screen to him.
Shinichi initially thought of trying to explain, but ultimately gave up. Saying that his hand had a mind of its own was just too ridiculous.
When the dismissal bell rang, Shinichi used feeling unwell as an excuse to ask the teacher for permission to lea...

Afterward, Master Johnson wanted to arrange a sparring match between the two.
However, Maeve declined. Given her current speed and strength, sparring with Cyrus would be like bullying a child.
After class, Cyrus returned to his room from the dojo. At this point, the fusion progress on his panel had reached 100%.
Now, Cyrus felt he had a bit of confidence to walk through different worlds.
He clicked on the staircase icon, and a prompt quickly popped up.

Getting a cab in New York usually meant flagging one down on the street, and it was quite expensive.
Fortunately, Cyrus was in the city center, where taxis were plentiful. In more remote areas, you could wait half an hour without seeing a taxi pass by, which was why many American families chose to own cars.
"Hey buddy, where you wanted to go?" A bright orange taxi pulled up in front of Cyrus, the driver appearing to be Chinese.

As the robbers emptied their clips, Queen Maeve seized the opportunity to rip the bus door off and engage the robbers in close combat.
In no time, the actors playing the robbers were all lying on the ground, motionless, after a series of screams. Only Blitz, having taken a few punches, struggled to get back on his feet. Maeve glanced at the hidden camera in the corner and, seeing that the director hadn't called cut, reluctantly increased her force slightly.
With a loud thud, Blitz...

"It shouldn't be an illusion."
After some experimentation, Cyrus discovered he could control the panel with his thoughts.
