…

A sneer danced on Kai's lips.

Simultaneously, his thoughts reached into his Inventory, taking out another Item.

In his black jacket and black jeans, Black twisted his neck, smiling with Calm. With his black eyes, he eyed Meg and Red Sun who were glaring at him, their jaws hanging low. "Missed me?"

Black didn't even need to finish a Side Mission to return to Kai from any Switched World.

All he needed to do was to chant Kai's epithets, granted to him by his Cosmic Authority.

Such a chant created a link between the chanter and Kai via his Inventory.

Black, being an Item, just had to jump into the Inventory, and he would come wherever Kai was, crossing dimensions.

It was just like how Kai had shared his Items with Meg and Spawn before, along with the letters.

However, in this case, even though Black's Side Mission's Time Limit wasn't over, the Objective had already been accomplished.

Kai, as the Side Mission's reward, had obtained 6 Attribute Points — worthy enough for the task of making Jin Taejin accept him as a student and getting the Multiverse ID of that timeline.

Black looked at the surprised Ekrizdis and disappeared into Hagrid's giant clothes.

Muscles squirmed underneath.

Bones snapped, enlarging like hollow pipes.

Skin inflated along with the flesh, trying to match the size.

It was done.

The giant ignored the existence of Kai and others, picked up the huge Umbrella, and smiled.

"Yes," Rubeus Hagrid said, accepting the mission. "I do."

…

SMASH!

The door was hit with such force that it swung clean off its hinges and with a deafening crash landed flat on the floor.

The giant squeezed his way into the hut, stooping so that his head just brushed the ceiling.

He bent down, picked up the door, and fitted it easily back into its frame.

The noise of the storm outside dropped a little.

He turned to look at them all.

"Couldn't make us a cup o' tea, could yeh? It's not been an easy journey.…"

He strode over to the sofa where Dudley sat frozen with fear.

"Budge up, yeh great lump," said the stranger.

Dudley squeaked and ran to hide behind his mother, who was crouching, terrified, behind Uncle Vernon.

"An' here's Harry!" said the giant.

Harry looked up into the fierce, wild, shadowy face and saw that the beetle eyes were crinkled in a smile.

"Las' time I saw you, you was only a baby," said the giant. "Yeh look a lot like yer dad, but yeh've got yer mom's eyes."

Harry Potter was one of those Random Worlds where even the minute changes in the recorded timeline had been noted down and analyzed since ancient times in the Primordial Tower.

All Contestants, at least those who had Harry Potter as their main Random Worlds, remembered the original Plotline by their hearts.

It was to such a degree that they even learned all dialogues, body language, and expressions.

Kai had done the same a long time ago, too.

Not only Harry Potter, he had done the same for many Random Worlds like Game of Thrones, One Piece, Naruto, etc., the worlds which had a definite timeline behind the events.

The thing in which Kai differed from others, though, was that when he learned about the Characters, he did it on an even more personal and in-depth level.

All Faceless were masters of acting out the part of their faces.

If one didn't even know all the minute details of the person to whom the face belonged, how could that person still be called a Faceless?

That's where the Standalone Title Faceless shone the brightest.

If Kai had reincarnated as Rubeus Hagrid, then he still would have interacted with all the Major Side Characters and the Main Character.

It would have been a direct result of Kai's Worth and Privilege.

But, like in the case of Darcie, Rubeus Hagrid wouldn't have been Kai Stormborn.

Now, though, things were different.

The Faceless looked at Harry Potter with his beady, black eyes.

The-Boy-Who-Lived was burning under a monstrous fire of blue Mana.

It surrounded him like a mother's embrace, protecting him from the eyes of evil.

The Faceless felt as if he was a leaf standing against the storm, his very breath breaking apart under the effect of the Spells in the surroundings and the magical might of the Harry Potter of a C+ timeline.

In the Faceless' eyes, two yellow crystals bobbed up and down, making him forget about the stifling effects the Mana was causing on him.

The Ad Infinitum also actively acted as a filter, erasing the dull-gray colored Notifications the moment they appeared.

"Anyway — Harry," said the giant, turning his back on the Dursleys after bending the gun, "a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summat fer yeh here — I mighta sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right."

From an inside pocket of his black overcoat he pulled a slightly squashed box.

Harry opened it with trembling fingers. Inside was a large, sticky chocolate cake with Happy Birthday Harry written on it in green icing.

Harry looked up at the giant. He meant to say thank you, but the words got lost on the way to his mouth, and what he said instead was, "Who are you?"

The giant chuckled.

"True, I haven't introduced meself. Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts."

He held out an enormous hand and shook Harry's whole arm.

Two yellow crystals bobbed up and down in Harry's green, innocent eyes.

Instantaneously, the Mana surrounding the boy pulsed furiously. It lashed out at the yellow crystal and cracked them apart in tiny shards.

[Echo Infiltration failed] the Ad Infinitum beeped. [Initiating 1,00,3456th iteration…]

The Faceless began preparing tea and sausages for himself, simultaneously checking if all the accessories Hagrid carried on him when he arrived at the hut at the original timeline were still there or not.

Suddenly, his large fingers touched… letters.

For the first time, the Faceless struggled to hold back a demonic grin.

Everything had changed since the moment Kai had become a Faceless.

And then later he had received The Cloak of Disguise from the Deep One, Death The Artificer, by sacrificing the axe, Will Turner's Fury, that he had obtained from the Pirates of the Caribbean Random World.

Before, Kai could do almost nothing in his, a Contestant, favor while acting as Darcie, even though she was a walking treasure hoard.

However, the moment he became Faceless, he began using the Polyjuice Potion to assume Darcie's appearance even during the Identity Period. The Cloak of Disguise effectively hid his lack of magical might, letting him blend into the other storyline Characters as the young Malfoy.

It was then he started actively working on his Stats using Darcie's status.
