章 44: Still World

The world was silent; no wind blew, no bird flew.

In a literal sense, there was no one; this world could be described as empty in all ways.

The sky, which should have been blue or dark, was strangely still. The world was filled with light, despite the fact that it was completely dark—this was Earth. A place where people used to live happily, enjoying their daily lives or depressingly was now filled with nothing but stillness and silence.

The space suddenly opened up somewhere in the Amazon Forest, and a man emerged from it.

He had long white hair and rainbow-colored eyes. He was dressed in a long-sleeved shirt that said, "I Love My Mother." A pair of black joggers with white linings and a pair of black shorts.

He looked around and couldn't help but be amazed at the sight of 'everything' frozen in time.

'It... time has stopped in this world. But whoever did it did a terrible job. What a half-ass time stop.'

The young man laughed when he heard the voice of his blond sword spirit.

"It's still better than me, who can only speed up my own time."

'Master. When are we going to roll out the Gacha? You stated that we would once we entered the new world. We're already here, so let's start rolling the Gacha!'

He was rendered speechless by his Godaku Wannabe Spirit's enthusiastic voice. That's right, he'd already decided to refer to her as such. She has clearly suffered a severe fall. You can tell when she keeps saying the same thing for two days in a row.

"I will... but not right now." He sighed tiredly as he examined his surroundings.

His pupils dilated, and he tried to see into the future before saying, "Disappointed."

'What happened?' Balor inquired, to which he replied, slightly disappointed, "I can't see the future... This world appears to have no future now that time has stopped."

In some ways, it did make sense. Because time stood still, the present was both the past and the future. He was currently residing in all three, so his eyes showed no sign of a future.

'Use your Clairvoyance; it should enable you to read the future that is directly etched into the root of this world.'

Of course, it wasn't the same root as in fate, but it was a different one. Whether or not the world has a root, it must have an origin where everything is recorded.

In the short term, it stores records from the past, present, and future. And it was thanks to his Clairvoyance that he was able to read those records.

Even though he couldn't see far into the future with Clairvoyance, he could see about an hour ahead without getting a massive as fuck headache.

And his Gamer Mind didn't help him solve it, so he had to deal with it on his own.

After a while, he shook his head again, saying, "Hmmm. I am, indeed, in the right place." Masato made such a remark after checking the future of the current world for another hour.

'Are you? What did you see?' she asked.

"Nothing. Just a loner attempting to overcome his loneliness." Masato smirked before frowning and internally questioning, 'Why isn't the angel Lita? Irta? Who in the flying fly is she?'

He seriously considered whether he should have entered an AU. You never know what might happen. The multiverse is a perplexing concept.

'You stated that time in this world would be paused for 1000 years; how long has it been paused?'

"If I'm not mistaken, then... about a day ago? Because Illhan has only recently begun learning Vale Tudo, I can only assure you that time hasn't stood still in this world for long."

Illhan would train in Vale Tudo in an hour, according to the vision he read from the Akashic Record. Masato deduced from his movement that he had only recently begun to learn it. As a result, he may have entered the world at the very beginning.

'What are you going to do now? You have 1000 years, if not less, of free time. If you keep grinding for a thousand years, you might be able to break into Tier 4?'

Yeah... as if... he wanted to say it. Not to mention that once completed, the dungeon's experience would be at its lowest. It was to ensure that he did not spend his entire life in dungeons.

Getting to Tier 3? Yes, that was possible, but bridging the Tier 3-4 gap was asking for the impossible.

The only way he could do it was if he spent all of his time grinding; only then would he be able to succeed. And he didn't want to spend all of his time killing monsters.

Even if his Gamer Mind wouldn't let him become an idiot, it would still have a negative impact on his psychology.

Who can say? After 1000 years of grinding, he might turn out to be a complete moron.

'If I really did that, my name might appear at the top of the multiverse grinding players chart...' He chuckled to himself before taking in his surroundings.

He was currently dead in the heart of the Amazon Forest.

He had never seen it before in his life, so it was a fantastic experience if one ignored the fact that time had stopped in this world.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well explore this jungle before constructing a nice cottage here and spending my life with Irisviel, Artoria, Sakura, and Illya. I can also learn Time Laws because I am in a Time Stopped location. Might as well learn about Time dilution dungeons."

Following that, he explored the entire Amazon.

He had to say that even though the strange light of the time stop, and the sky had ruined most of its beauty, it was still there. The air was crisp and clean here. It could be heard passing by the trees, and the rustling of the leaves created a lovely melody.

The greenery added to the natural beauty of the area.

It didn't take him long to cover the entire jungle.

Masato spent a month exploring the jungle before deciding on a good location to build a cottage for himself and the tenants who would be staying with him.

'Why aren't you using your abilities to do it? Why put yourself through manual labor?'

Masato smiled as he wiped the imaginary sweat from his brow, "I've always wanted to try to build a house with my own hands. It's a man's fantasy!"

'Only yours.'

Ignoring her remark, he continued to cut wood, make logs, and build the house. Est and Restia sat on the wood chairs, drinking juice made by Masato from fruits found in the jungle, while he worked.

To complete his jungle theme, he had Restia and Est dress in tribal attire. He must say, they both looked good in it.

Masato finally finished his building-his-own-house-with-his-own-hands project after another month.

He couldn't help but cry as he looked at the house. He seemed to be looking at his own children.

"That thought of yours is incorrect from multiple perspectives." Balor commented, but she was ignored again, making her want to smack his head, but she just humphed and began to stomp on the tree to let off some steam.

"I can invite them now."

Masato raised his hand and a huge magical circle appeared in front of him, from which two women and two children emerged.

They were all looking around with interest.

"Wow~! Onii-chan, where is this place?" Illya asked, happily looking around.

"This appears to be a forest..." Sakura also made a Fate-like remark.

"This…" Artoria frowned as she looked around her before Irisviel expressed the same thought, "Time has stopped?"

Her previous husband had time-related magecraft as well, so she could tell that time had stopped in this location.

Not that you need to be related to someone who uses Time as Magic to know if the time has stopped or not

"We are currently in the Amazon Forest, and yes, higher powers have halted the time of this world."

Hearing it, Artoria and Irisviel were astounded. What kind of power did a being with the ability to stop the passage of time for an entire world possess? They shuddered in fear just thinking about it.

Masato hugged Irisviel and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Don't worry. No one should be able to harm you or anyone else as long as I am present."

Irisviel nodded softly as she rested her head on his chest.

"It's not fair! Illya wants to be hugged as well! as well as a kiss!" Illya pulled Masato's shirt, while Sakura pulled Irisviel (she hugged her waist while pulling her back)... She appeared to be attempting some karate technique that, if successfully executed, would break one's neck.

Artoria cast a jealous glance at Irisviel and Masato. She had to admit that she was envious of them. She, too, wanted to hug him, but her shyness prevented her from taking the first step, so she could only watch from the sidelines.

Masato, on the other hand, is a seasoned womanizer. So he drew Artoria into a hug as well, much to the girly welp she let out, turning her face crimson red with embarrassment.

"If you want it, simply ask for it. If you want, I can give you more than just hugs." He gently whispered into her ear while placing his hand on her ass cheek and gently squeezing it.

"Umng!" She let out a small moan before hurriedly pushing Masato back with a red face. She didn't dare to look him in the eyes, so she just stared at the ground. It appeared to be more beautiful than ever.

She has never been touched in such a way, and she has no prior experience with such things. It made her feel very self-conscious.

But that didn't stop the horny gamer from smirking when he saw her reaction. Thinking that he should completely take care of her jealousy at night.

"Anyways! First! Everyone's clothes need to be changed! These are the clothes we will be wearing from now on," Masato said before snapping his finger and tribal clothes appeared in front of them.

"Even so, this... They're even more revealing than swimsuits," Irsiviel said, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Fumu. Is it really necessary to be embarrassed at this point? Look," he said, pointing to his back with his thumb. Balor, Est, and Restia were sitting quietly, enjoying the morning breeze and bird song.

It was difficult to understand why it was called time stop when living things could move as they pleased.

"They're wearing it, and I'm wearing them as well." He was currently topless, with only a cloth around his waist, and said, "So you girls will wear them as well. We can't destroy the theme if we don't."

Of course, he wasn't going to let them wear it for a thousand years.

He just wanted to see them in such revealing outfits. Of course, Sakura and Illya were left out. For anything to begin between him and them, they must be at least 13 years old.

Masato thanked the person who reincarnated him after Irisviel and Artoria reluctantly wore those clothes.

Anyone who saw them would think that they were enticing. Masato barely controlled junior Masato's rise.

Despite his desire to ravage them right away, nothing much happened. Irisviel had sat on his lap, and Artoria didn't dare to get close to him for fear of getting lewd.

And she was correct when she heard a small moan coming from Irisviel only to see Masato playing with her pussy, despite the fact that he had placed a cloth there so most wouldn't notice what was going on.

Despite the fact that the majority of those present were able to. Except for Est and Illya, everyone else was a pervert in their own right.

Despite the fact that he knew everyone had found out, he made sure to finish what he began by making her cum. Irisviel, on the other hand, became too embarrassed and ran into the house, refusing to come out any time soon.

Masato smirked at his boner before turning his gaze to his blond knight, who was doing her best to conceal her presence.

Masato had already planned his next move, which was unfortunate for her.
