Chương 623: Prize announcement and Inuyasha's Half-Demon Legacy
"Is your nickname 'Wheelchair Guy'?"
Logan's first meeting with Charles after losing his memory was far from amicable. Despite Charles's repeated gestures of goodwill, Logan didn't respond with much warmth.
After throwing out a sarcastic remark, Logan turned to leave, only to be blocked by Cyclops.
In this unfamiliar environment, Logan's temper flared more easily. He grabbed Cyclops by the collar, on the verge of a physical confrontation, until Charles had no choice but to play his trump card—revealing Logan's amnesia and promising that he could help him recover those lost memories.
After a long consideration, Logan decided to stay.
Since losing his memories, he'd been a drifter, wandering aimlessly with no place to call home. People want to leave a lasting mark on the world as proof of their existence. Without his memories, Logan felt like he had no trace of himself in the world, and of course, he wanted to get his past back. Only then could he open a new chapter in his life.
As they continued to talk, his interactions with Charles became more pleasant. Charles also took the opportunity to explain the current situation to Logan, including his conflict with Erik.
Watching Charles talk about him on the screen, Erik smirked and glanced at Logan beside him. "Charles is good at getting into people's heads, isn't he?"
Logan shot him a look and replied with a mocking tone, "Nah, you're better at it—you stole Raven from him, after all."
Erik didn't argue, only sighed. "It's over... This surreal journey was beyond anything I could've imagined. Honestly, I can't wait to go back. If all of this were truly broadcast for everyone to see, I think the world would get a whole lot more interesting."
Logan, however, wasn't as optimistic. He frowned. "Interesting? I see a whole lot of trouble waiting for me—and you're not in the clear either. Sebastian Shaw will definitely come after you, and there's also the government hunting you down. Erik, I'd advise against going down this dark path."
Erik thought, Since when did Wolverine start lecturing me like Charles?
He shook his head. "Come on, Logan, that's not your style. Since you chose the idealistic Charles, just remember—if we ever cross paths again, in any world, you'd better watch yourself."
As they talked, the video feed ended, and the leaderboard was displayed.
Team B won this round of the quiz game with 27 points, while Team A had 23 points. The good news was, there was no penalty in this round, so even though Peter and Wanda lost, they at least earned some points.
[Congratulations to Team B on winning this round! Player Erik and player Logan are about to receive a mysterious grand prize!]
With the announcement, the leaderboard faded, and Logan's name lit up, signaling he'd receive his reward first.
His name flickered before a purple light burst forth, spreading like ink, coating the surroundings in a dark glow.
As newcomers to the game, both Erik and Logan couldn't help but watch curiously.
Logan stared intently at the screen, his pupils reflecting an image—a purple light forming into the shape of a wolf. No, perhaps it was a dog?
The purple glow detached from the screen, swiftly condensing into a large dog with upright ears and sleek fur. In a flash, it leapt at Logan, who instinctively braced himself, faintly hearing a howl.
[Congratulations to player Logan Howlett for receiving the mysterious reward—Inuyasha's Half-Demon Legacy (Standard)]
As the purple dog lunged at him, Logan reflexively raised his arms to block, but in an instant, he was engulfed by the purple glow.
It felt like being swept away by a raging tide. His mind and senses wavered as he muttered, "What the hell is this? I'm Wolverine, not a werewolf! What am I supposed to do with a dog's legacy?!"
Logan's consciousness was pulled from his body and flung into another world, into another form.
In a blink, he found himself in an ancient world where humans and demons coexisted.
In this world, demons possessed supernatural abilities. Compared to them, humans were incredibly weak, still living in a primitive agricultural society without the technological advancements or powerful weapons of modern times.
While demons could grow to the size of mountains, fly through the skies, and perform incredible feats, humans had to rely on bows and swords to fight back against them.
A thought suddenly crossed Logan's mind—if mutants had appeared in ancient times rather than the modern era, would his world be like this one? Would humans have become the oppressed slaves of mutants?
As a mutant who had witnessed the future conflict between mutants and humans, Logan now saw things from a broader perspective. He was no longer just focused on himself; he observed this strange world with a bird's-eye view, gaining new insights.
"Demons and mutants are similar. At least to humans, both demons and mutants are monsters… enemies."
There was no doubt that the main conflict in the Inuyasha world was a survival struggle between demons and humans.
Powerful demons almost ruled this world, while humans barely survived in the gaps. To live, some sought protection from less malevolent demons, while others dedicated themselves to challenging and defeating demons, giving rise to monks and priestesses specialized in combating them.
The conflict between humans and demons was even bloodier and more brutal than the conflict between mutants and humans. In the harsh realities of ancient society, the law of the jungle ruled without mercy.
Of course, modern society also follows the survival-of-the-fittest principle, though it's cloaked in the veneer of civilization. Ordinary people now enjoy relatively stable and peaceful lives, and advanced production technology has allowed them to live well. For the struggling commoners of the ancient world, modern life would seem like paradise.
Logan's consciousness had entered the body of a half-demon named Inuyasha. His father was a demon, his mother a human. In this world, where demons and humans were at odds, a half-demon like him was naturally unwelcome by both sides.
