Multiverse Gacha

For any transmigrator, the most detestable figures across worlds are undoubtedly the "protagonists." Especially those from harem series—characters that countless otakus would eagerly replace if given the chance. Now that August had transmigrated into this world, he was no exception. As the protagonist of this world, August harbored an instinctive dislike for Kojou Akatsuki.

"I don't know what the Lion King Organization is plotting, but there's something I should make clear to you in advance."

"We're all ears."

"This island, Itogami, is now a game board. Whether it's Kojou Akatsuki or anyone else, they are all mere pieces on this board. And I? I am the one who moves the pieces."

"What are you trying to say?"

"What I mean is, as the one who controls the board, I possess the power to overturn it at any moment."

Boom!

A surge of Conqueror's Haki combined with the oppressive aura of a demon god enveloped Koyomi Shizuka, who stood not far away. In an instant, Koyomi felt as though she was standing amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The world around her was dyed crimson, with countless skeletal remains scattered everywhere. At the center of this nightmarish vision was a throne, constructed entirely of bones, towering above everything else.

August sat upon that throne, gazing down at Koyomi with an air of absolute dominance. For a brief moment, she felt utterly insignificant.

"Haah... Haah..."

In just a second, Koyomi was drenched in cold sweat, her back pressed against the wall. She didn't fully understand what had just happened, but the sensation—the feeling of being an ant under the gaze of a god—was something she would never forget.

Staring at August, Koyomi was rendered speechless, her lips trembling and turning pale. This man was a complete monster, someone even the Primogenitors couldn't compare to.

Meanwhile, August watched Koyomi's trembling figure with a faint smile. This was the result he wanted—to intimidate her and avoid future complications. What she had just experienced wasn't an illusion but a manifestation of August's karmic burden. His hands were stained with immeasurable bloodshed. In his previous world, he had destroyed an entire realm, claiming the lives of billions. All of this sin rested squarely on his shoulders.

Of course, August didn't care in the slightest. As the embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins, he had no fear of karmic retribution. What others saw as a curse, he saw as a testament to his power.

"Y-you... What are you?" Koyomi finally managed to stammer out, her voice trembling.

"I've said it many times. I am a Demon King—the incarnation of lust, pride, wrath, and gluttony."

"A Demon King..."

Koyomi stared at August, unable to calm her racing heart. That brief moment had felt like an eternity. Yet, in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, leaving her feeling as though she had just awakened from a dream. However, the experience was no illusion. August had shown her something he wanted her to see.

"A world doesn't need two kings, let alone multiple ones. You understand what I mean, don't you?"

"You... You plan to take on the Primogenitors? That's impossible! They are ancient beings who have existed since time immemorial. Each of them is a calamity-level entity."

"A calamity? If anyone is a calamity, it's me, the Demon King."

"Why are you telling me all this? What's your goal?"

"My goal is simple. Know your place. Otherwise, don't blame me for cutting off any overreaching hands."

Koyomi fell silent, unable to comprehend August's intentions. Moreover, he didn't seem to regard the Fourth Primogenitor as a significant threat. To him, Kojou Akatsuki was nothing more than a toy—never a rival or an enemy.

"I have one last question."

"Speak."

"Do you intend to claim Itogami Island for yourself?"

"Claim it? No, no. I want far more than just a single island."

August's lips curled into a smirk as an overwhelming aura radiated from his body. This time, it wasn't the Conqueror's Haki but the sheer force of his ambition.

"Everything in this world will belong to me. This world will become my personal garden."

Boom!

Koyomi felt as though a thunderbolt had struck her. This man aimed to conquer the world. It was an absurd notion—even the three Primogenitors wouldn't dare make such a claim. Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that August might actually achieve it. The thought terrified her, and she quickly suppressed it, unsure why it had even crossed her mind.

"Enough talk. Koyomi Shizuka, I know your organization plans to support Kojou Akatsuki, the easily controlled Fourth Primogenitor, to establish a Night Empire within Japan's borders. But as I've said, this territory doesn't need two kings."

"I understand."

Koyomi nodded. August's message was clear: he had set his sights on this land. A single territory couldn't accommodate two rulers, which meant a clash between August and Kojou Akatsuki was inevitable. Though she was reluctant to admit it, compared to August, Kojou's status as a "Primogenitor" seemed almost laughable. In every aspect, he fell short.

While Kojou's growth would take time, the path the Lion King Organization had laid out for him might already be obsolete. August hadn't killed Kojou yet only because he wanted to witness the power of the Fourth Primogenitor—the protagonist's cheat ability in this world. However, Kojou's path to growth was now fraught with obstacles, and it was unclear whether he could reach the end.

August also contemplated whether to seize the Fourth Primogenitor's power. The ability to command familiars and the gift of immortality were tempting, but to August, they were ultimately unremarkable. While undeniably powerful, they paled in comparison to his own abilities. After all, August was a walking cheat code himself.

Yet, discarding such power felt wasteful. The Fourth Primogenitor's strength was formidable in this world...
