章節 170: Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World
Looking at the "To Be Continued" in "Fate/Zero," Lu Wei felt a bit frustrated, but seeing the cover of another new manga, he sighed in relief.
Fortunately, this time there were two new releases!
"Fate/Zero" was so exciting, so "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World" probably wouldn't be any worse.
After all, history has shown that anything produced by the Porter is bound to be a masterpiece!
Moreover, the cover of this new manga featured two incredibly cute maids! Lu Wei had a thing for maids, even in the adult films he watched, he always looked for this type of character!
With such high expectations, Lu Wei opened "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World" and started reading.
The first thing he saw was a boy named Subaru shopping at a store. Just as he was about to head home, Subaru suddenly found himself in another world.
"A physical transmigration?"
Seeing this, Lu Wei was surprised.
Most transmigration stories these days involve soul transmigration. Even in rare cases of physical transmigration, the protagonist is usually summoned as a hero.
But here, it seemed like the protagonist transmigrated by himself?
And in a world where they spoke Chinese? Just like the song says, "The world is learning Chinese, Confucius's words are becoming more international."
"But this protagonist is too much of a loser," Lu Wei thought, watching Subaru get harassed by thugs.
In a typical transmigration story, shouldn't the protagonist save a beauty from thugs right after arriving?
How did it become the protagonist being saved by a beauty from thugs in this manga?
Suddenly, Lu Wei had an epiphany, as if a lightbulb appeared above his head.
An anti-cliché!
Yes, an anti-cliché.
This seems to be a popular trend now. Many web novels use anti-clichés to attract readers. Maybe the Porter is using this method to create his manga too?
But... a loser protagonist doesn't seem very appealing...
Soon, something surprising happened.
Subaru, along with a cute girl named Satella (Emilia, who told Subaru her name was Satella), went searching for her lost item. They found the place at night.
However, shortly after entering, they discovered everyone inside was dead, and they were attacked by an unknown assailant. Satella entered the house upon hearing the noise and was also killed.
"No way, the main characters die right at the start?"
Seeing this, Lu Wei widened his eyes, "Or is Subaru not the main character?"
Then he remembered the poster featuring two maids, meaning Subaru could just be a catalyst for some event.
Unfortunately, the story didn't go as Lu Wei thought; it exceeded his expectations.
Subaru was back at the apple vendor, completely unharmed.
"Could this be a power to foresee the future? Or an illusion?"
Seeing this, Lu Wei grew more curious.
With such curiosity, Lu Wei continued reading.
Subaru encountered the same three thugs again.
But unlike before, when he got beaten up, this time Subaru beat them up.
Not only that, but Lu Wei learned Subaru had been training in martial arts for years, with a grip strength exceeding 70 kg.
Now that's more like a transmigrator!
Watching Subaru easily take down the thugs, Lu Wei nodded in satisfaction.
But he was even more curious about the earlier scenes showing Subaru as a loser.
The story diverged from the previous events; Subaru didn't meet Satella. Instead, he went to find her lost item directly.
This time, the people in the house were not dead, and Subaru made a deal with them using his phone as the trade item.
After all, this was another world, and such a gadget was a rare item here.
However...
Subaru still ended up dead!
"Wait, something's definitely wrong here!" Watching Subaru get disemboweled by a woman with a creepy smile, Lu Wei was stunned.
With this second death, Lu Wei guessed this wasn't just a dream.
But what was really going on?
The first chapter ended there. Luckily, the Porter released two chapters at once, which made Lu Wei breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, this new manga had too many unresolved questions. If he had to wait a week, he'd be really frustrated.
As expected, Subaru was back at the apple vendor.
The third time, Subaru was stabbed by the thugs.
First, he was attacked by an unknown person, then disemboweled by a seductive woman, and now stabbed by thugs.
Every time he died, he returned to the apple vendor. Although hard to believe, Lu Wei had a bold idea.
As a homebody, he played galgames.
In galgames, there's a save point feature, allowing players to return to a previous point if they make a wrong choice.
Based on the current situation, what was happening to Subaru was similar to a save point.
The apple vendor was Subaru's save point.
Each time he revived, Subaru's actions changed the subsequent events, like selecting different options in a game...
"Wow! The Porter is a genius!" Thinking this, Lu Wei became even more convinced of his theory, and even more impressed with the Porter's creativity.
Turning a game feature into a superpower in a manga!
As expected, Lu Wei wasn't the only one who guessed it. Subaru, the protagonist, also realized his ability.
"Such a good guy."
Lu Wei watched as Subaru, initially planning to sell his phone and start a new life in another world, changed his mind after understanding some things. He decided to save Satella, Felt, and Old Man Rom, remarking on Subaru's kindness.
Though Lu Wei knew Subaru had a save point ability, it meant dying once each time.
Would he do the same for strangers?
Well... if that white-haired girl, Satella, became his wife, it might be possible.
Suddenly, Lu Wei thought while stroking his chin and continued reading.
He wanted to know how Subaru would change their fates, knowing the murderer was very strong!
The fourth time, Subaru encountered the same thugs.
But this time, instead of fighting, Subaru looked at them seriously.
Lu Wei thought Subaru might have some strong move up his sleeve.
Then, without any warning or hesitation, Subaru opened his mouth and shouted something that made Lu Wei facepalm, "Guards!!!!"
