[ Kill the monster! ]
[ Protect our children! ]
[ Get rid of the devil! ]
[ Kill the devil! ]
Those were the voices of all the people who could be heard from here as they had their weapons in the air. I could feel all of their hatred and anger directed at me as they continued yelling.
I couldn't understand what was happening and why it was happening. The entire city had gathered here while pointing their guns at me as they were thirsty for blood.
[ You monster, you will finally get what you deserve! ] ( Kenji )
Kenji yelled in anger as he pointed his sword at me. But why is he acting like that? What did I do to get treated like this once again?
I'm not a monster and I don't want to be one!
That's what I thought, but to these people, I was nothing else but an enemy.
[ Look at what that monster has done! My daughter was hypnotised to the point where she wanted to kill herself for him! ] ( Kenji )
On his side was Ichika who was calmly standing there without saying anything.
Hypnotised? What is he talking about?! I never did such a thing to Ichika! All I did was help her increase her strength as a fighter just like her father asked me to.
And why isn't Ichika saying anything!? She should know that I never did anything bad to her?
Everyone became even more furious after listening to what he said about his own daughter.
[ Don't get close to him! ]
[ Kill him! ]
[ Don't let him near our children! Kill him! ]
No matter what I tried thinking about it, everyone here wanted me dead. To them, I was nothing else but a dangerous thing. But I never threatened or showed my powers to any of them, did I?
The only people who somehow had grasps of my powers were Kenji when we had a match.
Did he want to get rid of me after realizing that he couldn't beat me?! Was that the reason? That would explain why the assassins were following me the day when I was training Ichika. But he wouldn't put a hit on me if his daughter was in the same group as me.
Unless…
His daughter knew the whole time so they had a plan ready for me…
No! I don't want to come up with that kind of conclusion! Ichika isn't that kind of girl!
But still, that doesn't explain why she's standing there blankly beside her father.
I wanted to call out her name, but somehow my throat was very dry and I couldn't say anything. I wanted her to look me in the eyes like she used to, but she didn't even dare to look at me.
...But then…
When I looked somewhere near Ichika, I saw… something that I never expected... Countless voices were screaming in my head as I was trying to remain calm. But no matter what I thought, this was the reality.
The painful truth… something that I didn't want to ever think about it…
Right in front of me, was Haruto with a prideful and heroic face, looking at me… and the reason he was acting like that…
.
Because, beside him was… Akemi and Chloe…
N-no… way…
I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing! Right in front of my eyes, I was looking as Haruto had his arm around Akemi's waist and Chloe on his other side.
My body completely froze as I continued looking at them. Even Shiro, Hina, Angela, and Demonica were near them without a care about what was happening right now. I even tried talking to them telepathically, but none of them replied to me. It was as if they didn't want to do anything with me anymore.
[ To think that bastard would brainwash these cute girls! I can't believe that for a moment I trusted his words! ] ( Haruto )
He said as he gripped Akemi's waist closer to him.
When I looked down at my hands, I noticed that they were shaking a lot. The last time that I reacted like this was when I was back at Sakuru.
I've fought countless monsters and I never reacted like this, but now... I'm acting like this?!
That's when I noticed that nothing had changed ever since I was thrown away from Sakuru…
I finally understood everything! It was clear to me the whole time, but I was blinded with hope.
Even though it was a small hope of not being hated or manipulated, I still held into that small feeling. I wanted to protect it the whole time even though it was a tiny bit of it.
[ … ] ( Hatsuko )
.
.
Shiro, using me as a way of getting stronger then reaching a new form…
Akemi, forcefully making a contract with me so I wouldn't kill her…
Angela and Demonica, using me as a way of getting away from the Demons and Angels…
And Chloe… she used me to head back into the city safely...
She had a fake mask the whole time as she tried opening me up. A kind act so I would let my guard down when I was near her. Everyone looked at me as nothing else but a tool to achieve their personal goal. And now that they don't need me anymore, they are trying to get rid of me.
No matter what I did, every single one of them was the same and I could not change it...
Why am I even thinking this much about it anyway? This was bound to happen one day and I already knew that.
My heart was aching really bad as I continued looking at the situation in front of me.
But I wasn't shocked, nor was I confused about this situation.
It's just… I had finally accepted it...
This was my fate… my life... ever since I was born…
Ah...
Well, whatever…
...I'm tired…
No matter what happens…I don't care anymore...
I give up…

***
As Hatsuko was standing still without moving an inch, at a certain rooftop of a building, was a guy with a massive sniper on his hands.
That gun was specially made for powerful monsters, and It could penetrate anti-tanks without any problems. The position of this person was really far from Hatsuko, but using this kind of weapon made it easier for him.
[ Do you have a clear view of the target? ]
A voice on his earphones was heard as he was concentrating on his target. The way he was breathing was calm and he was ready to act anytime.
[ Affirmative. ]
He replied as he placed his finger on the trigger.
[ Take the shot! ]
And without a second thought, he pulled the trigger of his sniper, releasing an insane bullet that couldn't be grasped by the naked human eye.
The bullet left a white line created by its speed, cracking through the air until…
.
.
.
It pierced through Hatsuko's head…
Hatsuko didn't react at all to what just happened, he just stood there until his body started to fall into the ground.
His face didn't show any fear, anger, or any kind of emotion at all. His face remained completely emotionless. And he didn't try to protect himself from this attack.
Could this be his end? Did everyone in this city manage to protect themselves?
They all considered this as nothing else but a victory after seeing that the bullet managed to kill him.
But little did they know... as Hatsuko's body was falling into the ground, a lot of things were about to take a different turn.
.
.
.
On that cursed day… at that exact moment...
It was the death of a loser…
...And the birth of something that humanity has never seen before!

Author.. you are just writing tragedy for the sake of it. It didn't make any sense. It makes no sense for the girls to just side with the enemies and using some mind manipulation would be stupid too. Also it seems the mc is having some serious mental problems. He always talks about how much he would do if he had power but even though he is very powerful right now he is just a doormat. You are like that author that wrote eternal isekai( ret*rded story) who wrote ntr just because he had a cuckolding fetish. You seem to have a tragedy "fetish".
If you want to make it edgy at least do it thoroughly and make the mc eliminate anything that seems even slightly inconvenient or dangerous.
FOR f*ckS SAKE AUTHOR THIS ROMANCE IS SO STRETCHED ITS f*ckING ANNOYING GOD DAMN AND NOW YOUR DOING THIS EDGY sh*t WHERE HE SLAUGHTERS EVERYONE.
Lol. It's so bad. Man I kept this in my list to see if it ever got better. As I promised I would. I might have even changed my rating if I saw some amelioration and honesty with the tags. Someone in the comments here said you have a tragedy fetish. That's probably true along with the cuck thing. I just don't understand why you tried to bait people with your tags and lied about them. This was one of the weirdest and worst reads. It's just kind of been like Jersey Shore for me. Watching a train wreck. I genuinely am not sure if you're just trolling. If you are it is kind of weak, but if this was meant to be serious I don't know what to think about that. Maybe scrap everything and try a new series that has nothing to do with harem. Be honest with your tags. You don't get a 3.6 tag for nothing. Even some of the more sh*t novels on here can manage a 4.
Well, I've updated my review for the final time. Went from two to one stars because nothing was really fixed or rewritten. You basically just double downed on it. I don't get it, but I don't have to. Good luck. I genuinely mean that. If you write something new, my advice would be to make a sticky note warning you to avoid tragedy like the plague. Even if you like it, you don't know what you're doing. It comes across as comedy or makes people dumbfounded at how it even came about.
The biggest villain in this whole series is hatsuko.
I don't get how he was so into wanting to have s*x in the beginning, and then literally had a pu**y in his mouth and still hasn't done anything. Everyone around him was weak, and he was knew they couldn't hurt him. But his libido has just been gone.
He has easily murdered and tormented people, in ways his bullies haven't done. And while unconscious, he murdered innocents.
When he was powerless he had sociopathic tendencies.
With power he keeps everyone at arms length away and treats them like shit.
I don't understand why he suddenly cares for the girls only when it looks like they betrayed him. (except for shiro)
And him freezing up? Makes no sense, he has already murdered and tortured people, what caused him to freeze up? That he was bullied? He mentally broke a woman before murdering her, Its very inconsistent
@GreenRiver does Haruto still have a harem? I'm assuming the girls are brainwashed, even if akemi is a dragon and should be immune.
The thing is he hasn't deemed ANYONE as good. He threatened people who offered no threat to him, and he was very quick to be ready to do it.
The "assassins" were completely out gunned and he didn't try to interrogate a single one. He knew they couldn't hurt him and he didn't really care about the girls at the time. He wanted a reason to kill and he just did it. He's been itching to "put people in their place" after he was almost killed by his classmates.
(This part is a theory, not official) Even if he didn't kill those innocents "willingly" wouldn't his "auto-fight" only attack things he deems as threats? He was willing to kill them subconsciously and thats why he was able to. (Again this is a theory)
I honestly don't NEED s*x or romance with the girls. But he went from a horn dog who was led to a trap because a girl flirted with him.... to not recognizing affection at all? Nor does he understand that a woman willingly putting a vagina on his mouth is a green light? I feel his character is inconsistent.
He created a fake relationship with his childhood friend in his mind and then felt betrayed when he spied on her f*cking her boyfriend. Now the girls he wanted to get rid of (except shiro) hurt him by this betrayal?
He didn't bat an eye at children dying, nor did he really put effort in protecting them. He hasn't done a single selfless thing. Before or after getting his powers.
He hasn't done a single redeemable thing because everything he does is in a certain context.
I believe the author might be trolling us and the actual MC is the sister, and she will save her brother and make him a great person.
@BLuU Ok, I'll go in order. I think the author is going for traumatized beyond belief -> he can't trust ANYONE. It's not a matter of good or bad, he just can't trust them.
As far as the assassins were concerned; If it were me, I would have captured all of them. But killing people stalking you through a forest in the apocalypse isn't a bad choice either. With that said, I think this was the author forcing this event into the story for some reason...
Killing innocent people in the first zombie-town doesn't make sense. He kept his killing intent on to keep small monsters away from him because he wouldn't gain strength from them any more. So why did "auto-fight" kill little kids? Again, it seems like the author forced something bad in just the for sake of forcing something bad in.
As far as s*x goes, I don't know either. I think only evil jocks have s*x in this story...
He created a fake relationship with his childhood friend in his mind and then felt betrayed...
Ok, no. When he first met her she was wearing the hair-pin he gave her when they were children. When he thought she'd turn on him she said something along the lines of "strength doesn't matter". BUT a little while later she's in a graphic s*xual relationship with one of the strongest men at school, and hanging out with the MC's bullies? The author was going down a cliche "childhood-friend" route (I'll admit, I fell for it, it was a good twist) and instead used it as the "last straw" to break the MCs will.
As far as how he responds to death, he seems mentally and emotionally broken. I hope he gets better, but unfortunately I don't think he will.
As far as him being selfish, the story is tagged with "Selfish Protagonist", and yeah, he is. Again, I'm hoping for character growth, but at the rate this is going I think this might be one of those "everyone dies in the end" sort of stories...
@GreenRiver in childhood friends defense they were in an established relationship for a while if I remember correctly. She was in a relationship before she met Hatsuko again. But yeah, how she missed the bullying was f*cking ridiculous.
He was an awkward kid. Now he's an awkward power house.
Forced events... yeah, I see that. I don't see anyone as ever actually betraying the MC because they were either
1) blissfully ignorant
2) MC never trusted them anyway.
I hate that the girls in the novel have no substance and even the powerful akemi, is just useless props to hurt the MC even though he kept them from being close to him. I want some actually growth, so I'm looking forward to it. Like main waifu is his sister and they never met in story yet.
Why,you turning him back to a stupid character oit of nowhere really a shame,i think this is going to get goodand you 20 steps backwards
YES YES f*ckING YES YES !~~~~ CONTINUE
Wow such a twist!!!
Erase this chapter and rewrite....pleassseeeee
... my heart
Bro stop with NTRs ....My anxiety is ups and downs...
I'm going to keep reading because I really want to see what you're aiming for with this, but seriously, a lot of readers do tend to hate this sort of thing happening repeatedly throughout a protagonist's career, especially if what little growth there was just ends up thrown away the next time it happens.
