Chapter 2 - Multiverse Chat Group? Seriously?

10 Years Later

In a towering skyscraper at the heart of the city, the atmosphere buzzed with energy. The glass floor provided a panoramic view of the endless urban sprawl, while abstract paintings adorned the walls, radiating a modern and professional aura.

In one corner of the room, a man sat reading documents laid out on the table. His neatly slicked-back black hair revealed a handsome face that exuded charisma and intelligence.

He was Kambe Yukito, a name that had become one of the most influential figures in Japan.

"This is the final report regarding the acquisition of the tech company in Osaka, Kambe-sama," said a young woman respectfully as she placed the file on Yukito's desk.

"Thank you, Hana," Yukito replied calmly.

His fingers flipped through the pages swiftly, processing the information with impressive speed that never ceased to amaze his assistant.

The young woman, Hana, stood with perfect posture, waiting for further instructions. Under Yukito's leadership, she had learned that this man was not only intelligent but meticulous, always thinking three steps ahead.

"Do an additional analysis on the R&D division's budget projection," Yukito said without lifting his gaze from the documents. "I want that report on my desk by tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Kambe-sama," Hana responded promptly before turning to leave the room.

Once Hana was gone, Yukito closed the file in his hands and placed it on the desk. He exhaled softly and walked toward the massive window that stretched from floor to ceiling. From where he stood, he could see the bustling city of Tokyo—forever alive, brimming with energy, ambition, and secrets.

After ten years of living as Kambe Yukito, Ren had fully adapted to his new world. He no longer felt like an outsider trapped in someone else's body.

Now, he embraced this reality as his new fate. With intelligence, hard work, and a bit of luck, he carved his own path in this world.

Kambe Yukito was no longer just known as the younger brother of Kambe Daisuke, but also as a brilliant and innovative young entrepreneur.

Over the past decade, he had expanded the family business into the technology and renewable energy sectors, making Kambe Group one of the most influential companies in the world.

The wealth he had amassed was immeasurable, but for Yukito, success wasn't merely about material gain.

He saw it as a chance to change the world for the better—while proving to himself that he could lead a life of purpose, beyond just inheriting the Kambe family's fortune.

Looking at the late afternoon sky, Yukito glanced at his watch—it was 4:30 PM. His girlfriend should've been home from the academy by 4, but she hadn't arrived yet.

Yukito returned to his elegant chair, leaning back into its cushion.

Suddenly, a transparent holographic screen appeared before him, casting a soft blue glow that lit up the room. Golden letters slowly emerged at the center of the screen:

[Welcome to the Multiverse Group Chat! Congratulations. The Richest Young Man, you have been selected as the ADMIN.]

Yukito frowned, trying to understand what was happening. The screen then displayed a list of names, each with a small icon beside them:

• The Richest Young Man - [Admin]

• The Strongest - [Member]

• Blue Slime - [Member]

• Human Hope - [Member]

• Lycoris' Strongest Agent - [Member]

Yukito raised an eyebrow as his eyes scanned the names. Before he could explore the holographic interface further, a message popped up.

[Lycoris' Strongest Agent]:

"Is this some new DA technology? An interdimensional communication system maybe?"

The message remained on screen only briefly before more replies followed.

[The Strongest]:

"What's DA? Some kind of secret organization?"

[Human Hope]:

"Hm... What is this?"

Yukito straightened his posture, arms folded in front of him. His sharp gaze carefully read each message as the blue light reflected in his eyes.

[Blue Slime]:

"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the Admin of this group."

[Cut Ice]:

"You're right, @Blue Slime..."

[Lycoris' Strongest Agent]:

"I agree."

[The Strongest]:

"@The Richest Young Man, you're the Admin of this group. Do you know anything about this system? Is this some kind of tech from your world?"

Yukito stared at the screen for a few moments, choosing his words carefully. In the business world, information was power—power that could be used or exploited.

But this time, curiosity won.

[The Richest Young Man]:

"I don't know the origin of this system. It appeared suddenly, without warning or explanation. But based on the information here, it seems this group connects individuals from different worlds or dimensions."

[The Strongest]:

"Different worlds? Are you saying we all come from separate realities?"

[Lycoris' Strongest Agent]:

"That would explain why I don't recognize this kind of technology. My world doesn't have communication like this."

[Blue Slime]:

"I might not have believed in other worlds before... but after reincarnating as a Slime, I believe now."

Yukito gave a small nod, acknowledging Blue Slime's statement. He moved his hand, tapping on the floating interface.

He selected the profile section and began editing his username, changing it from The Richest Young Man to Kambe Yukito.

Instantly, the name was updated on the group list:

• Kambe Yukito – [Admin]

• The Strongest – [Member]

• Blue Slime – [Member]

• Human Hope – [Member]

• Lycoris' Strongest Agent – [Member]

A notification appeared:

[Kambe Yukito has updated their username]

Yukito then typed a message:

[Kambe Yukito]:

"I've changed my name so it'll be easier for you all to address me. You can call me Yukito. I used to be an ordinary office worker… until one day, I died and found myself in another body in a new world. I started a new life as the heir of the Kambe family."

A few seconds of silence passed before the replies began to flow.

[Blue Slime]:

"I had a similar experience! I died and was reincarnated as a slime! But I'm pretty strong now!"

[The Strongest]:

"A new life… this is insane."

[Lycoris' Strongest Agent]:

"Kambe Yukito... that name sounds aristocratic. I appreciate your honesty, Admin."

Now that he had introduced himself, Yukito thought it was time to get to know the others—though he already recognized their names, except for Human Hope.

[Kambe Yukito]:

"I've introduced myself. What about you all? Let's get to know each other better. You can also change your usernames—just tap your profile icon at the top, select 'Edit Username', then enter your desired name and save."

Moments later, notifications began to appear one by one:

[Blue Slime has updated their username to Rimuru Tempest]

[Rimuru Tempest]:

"Hi everyone! My real name is Rimuru Tempest. I used to be a regular guy, but after I died, I was reborn as a slime in a fantasy world. Now, I'm the leader of a monster village."

[The Strongest has updated their username to Gojo Satoru]

[Gojo Satoru]:

"Yo, I'm Gojo Satoru, a teacher at Jujutsu High. You could say I'm the strongest sorcerer in my world. This multiverse stuff… sounds fun. I think I'll enjoy it here."

[Human Hope has updated their username to Levi Ackerman]

[Levi Ackerman]:

"My name is Levi Ackerman. I'm a captain in the Survey Corps. My mission is to eliminate the Titans—giant creatures that threaten humanity in my world."

[Lycoris' Strongest Agent has updated their username to Chisato Nishikigi]

[Nishikigi Chisato]:

"My name's Nishikigi Chisato. I'm the top agent of a secret organization called Lycoris in Japan. My world is dangerous, but I was trained to handle it. Nice to meet you all."

Yukito looked at the holographic screen now displaying new usernames: Rimuru Tempest, Gojo Satoru, Levi Ackerman, and Nishikigi Chisato. He gave a small smile, pleased that the members were starting to open up.

[Kambe Yukito]:

"Thank you all for your introductions. It's great to get to know you better. I'm sure we can all learn from each other and grow together in this group."

Suddenly, the sound of the office door opening echoed through the room, followed by familiar footsteps. Yukito turned and saw a familiar figure entering.

[Kambe Yukito]:

"Sorry, looks like I have to go for now. Feel free to keep the conversation going and get to know each other more. See you later."

Yukito deactivated the holographic screen, stood up from his chair, and moved to welcome the person who had just arrived.
