〖 A regular constitution, weak psyche, undergone a certain level of training only recently 〗Negary soon completely analyzed the ordinary human in front of him.
A long-term irregular lifestyle, minor autism, as well as having two contrasting psychological states of self-confidence and a sense of inferiority at the same time.
〖 There is a minor sensation of a [Protagonist Aura], but it is extremely primitive 〗
Observing this ordinary human, Negary discovered an unnamed power continuously interfering with him, half-forcing him to look at this human with a different view, even to the point of developing a sense of interest.
〖 An ability to affect the mind 〗Negary’s gaze seemed to peer right through this individual’s heart, observing his existence from a completely unknown aspect of reality, then he asked: 〖 What is your name? 〗
…
“Mon… monster, don’t think I will surrender to you!” despite his fears, Victor still clearly and proudly said those self-righteous words.
He was originally just a normal NEET, but one day, a group of men in black suddenly brought him to a certain military base, then forced him to begin training.
During this time, he had gotten to know a lot of friends, he had also improved himself greatly.
Earlier today, he was brought in front of a toilet bowl, his trainer for the past while told him that he would need to use this toilet bowl to infiltrate a certain dangerous base, his mission is to gather all the strength he could and ruin a certain evil monster’s plan.
Victor had thought that they were joking, only to find himself being shoved into the toilet bowl right at the very next moment. With the sound of flushing water by his ears, he found himself suddenly inside an unfamiliar facility while he remained in an incorporeal state.
Before Victor could even react, he felt intense pressure coming from his surroundings, then was swiftly pushed out of his incorporeal state. Right as he heard the other party inquire his name, he instinctively understood that this person in front of him was the aforementioned ‘monster’.
The unusual thing was that he was never a person of great determination in the first place, the person in front of him also gave off an unprecedented sense of closeness, their every gesture made him feel subconsciously comfortable. And yet, he still said those self-righteous words, expressing his unyielding spirit.
Right as Victor made his statement, Negary could sense power flowing from Victor to himself, trying to make Negary feel personally interested in that unyielding and responsible attitude.
〖 So it’s the effect of a certain anomaly 〗
Through his observations, Negary discovered a foreign power drifting over this person, causing the same effect as a [Protagonist Aura].
〖 This power isn’t just affecting the other people around this human, but it’s also affecting me, almost like the power of ‘Fate’, dictating the experiences of this human 〗

Meanwhile, in front of a computer, several novelists and daily writers were observing the story unfolding itself.
S-2-1: Compelling Storyteller Machine. Capable of recruiting certain people of unique characteristics to become the main character in a story, through which they could ‘write’ that individual’s story using their actual surroundings and ‘write’ the future.
A certain program was running on the computer, displaying what ‘set pieces’ were in the surroundings of the story as well as their basic attributes.
Unfortunately, the main character chosen for this machine had to be a complete loser in real life. Furthermore, the more of a loser the person was, the stronger their [Protagonist Aura] would become, and the easier it would be to write their story.
“It’s no good, this main character wouldn’t be able to affect C-4-28-2. The machine has also issued a warning that if we continue to try and affect the other party, the chances of the story failing would increase by 50%”
“Then, let Santa Claus help him” a writer said while looking through the list of ‘set pieces’: “Santa Claus just happens to be in the surroundings as well, he should make it in time to draw C-4-28-2’s attention”
The staff member sitting in front of the computer quickly wrote what would happen next in the story following their words. A unique power began to exude from Victor’s body, affecting Santa Claus who was currently walking through another corridor.
…
“We can continue like this, on the other hand, is the Transporting Toilet ready yet? Continue sending people in, although the Compelling Main Character carries their own attraction aura, C-4-28-2 should be able to discover the influence of this aura very quickly. We need to take this chance to send more personnel inside” at another location, an SCR Foundation manager quickly asked.
“Just a bit more, with experience from the previous success, we can transport even more people in this time” several senior researchers were standing around a toilet bowl, continuously adjusting the level of water inside. Additionally, there were several strange and unusual characters standing around the researchers, they were the anomalies assembled for this mission through the Unusual Assembling Order.
…
“Hohoho, there’s a naughty child over there” Santa Claus muttered and carried the large bag on his shoulder, moving through the wall of the corridor with ease.
As popular culture had it, Santa Claus had nine reindeers and a sleigh. During the year, he would watch over all children and record all of their deeds. He would then reward the good children with mysterious gifts and give the bad children coal, in some versions, the bad children would even be punished.
However, this Santa Claus was twisted: he could summon nine rotting zombie reindeers, capable of phasing himself into any rooms; he also didn’t care about the good children, only focusing on punishing the bad children. Furthermore, due to how long he had existed, the majority of humanity right now were children to him.
Although he punished people, he only punished one person at a time, and his punishments were never lethal, even the nine zombie reindeers couldn’t do much except scare people. His danger level was low, which led to him being ranked C-class despite his relative omnipresence and omniscience.
…
“You are the naughtiest child here, prepare to be punished” an old man wearing a red outfit, a Christmas hat, and a long white beard abruptly jumped into the room while carrying a bag over his shoulder.
Negary watched everything unfold around him with interest. He could determine that there was an anomaly using Victor as a center to constantly affect everything around him, almost like a small-scale [Protagonist Aura].
Nine rotting zombie reindeers jumped out from thin air, their rotten cheeks were dripping with blood, their teeth also exposed through it, which made for a highly nauseating sight. Their murky eyeballs stared straight at Negary, a stench of rotting flesh rushing up everyone’s noses.
The nine reindeers then charged straight at Negary, Santa Claus also pulled out a whip from his bag and swung it at him.
Taking this opportunity, the Yin Teeth Girl pulled Victor out of the room through the main door, fleeing.
One of them was an anomaly, while the other was under the influence of an anomaly, which made them slightly resistant to Negary’s infection. Several golden tentacles appeared from the ground and twirled around their ankles.
At the same time, a black suit of armor suddenly appeared from thin air, swinging the large claymore in his hand to cut through those golden tentacles, but didn’t harm the two people at all.
A-2-15: Lonely Armor, had officially joined the battle.
