Item: The Magical Armband of the First Kill Captain
(Congratulations on becoming the first player to kill a major storyline character in a given world, thereby disrupting the world's plot. This item cannot be obtained naturally; it is only issued by the system upon completing a specific achievent.)
1. Effect 1: After using this item, the player can beco a captain of a squad initially consisting of five mbers. There is no need for system matchmaking, and the squad can freely travel to a specified world.
However, the target world must be one the player has previously visited and has a completion/progress rate of at least 20%.
2. Effect 2: In system-assigned missions, the player can designate other people to join the squad—including storyline characters—to carry out tasks.
Squads are divided into "temporary mbers" and "fixed teammates." In fixed-team mode, once mbers are chosen, they cannot be changed; only when soone dies can their spot be replaced.
In temporary-team mode, players can form a team up to two tis, while storyline characters can join only once.
Note: If the player wants to invite a storyline character to beco a permanent teammate, they must unlock a specific quest. (The number of squad mbers can be increased by achieving subsequent first-kill achievents.)
3. Effect 3: When the player's squad later completes missions in The King of Fighters (KOF) world, the rewards and ratings are increased by 10%.
System Notification: Ding! Congratulations to the player for achieving the "KOF World First-Kill Achievent." You have been awarded 3000 Dinsional Coins. Please check your inventory!

Player Abnormal Status: The Kusanagi Clan's Curse
1. Effect 1: Because the player killed one of the protagonists of the KOF world, Kyo Kusanagi, the storyline there is now in disarray. Whenever the player returns to the KOF world, the system will announce their presence to all local players, and a hostile mission may be triggered at random. Proceed with caution!
2. Effect 2: The player will unlock more hidden storylines in the KOF world, and these storylines will no longer be random.
3. Effect 3: The player is now eligible to gain the power of the Kusanagi Clan.
4. Effect 4: Upon entering the KOF world, the "Fated Mission" will be triggered. The guardian will of the Three Sacred Treasures families (the Kusanagi, Yagami, and Kagura clans) will harbor hostility, causing relevant plot events with character involvent to unfold.
There is a lot of system information, but Xiang Nan focuses mainly on these details.
He organizes his thoughts:
Positive Gains from killing Kyo Kusanagi include Dinsional Coins, eligibility to acquire Kusanagi Clan power, proactive unlocking of more hidden storylines, and a 10% increase in mission rewards in the KOF world.
Negative Impact: Once he enters the KOF world, he'll be targeted by all players there—though it's essentially just an announcent.
The number of players who might receive a hostile mission is random, not necessarily everyone. It simply notifies all players that this intruder has appeared.
For Intermittent Squads, there is still a ti limit for entering other worlds. Also, there's a cooldown on how frequently one can revisit the sa world, preventing rapid, repeated entries in a short period.
As for the Three Sacred Treasures families, their threat is obviously far greater than the hostility from other players. He's essentially beco a villainous boss now.
"Fated Mission"? What does that an? Is it completable? And if so, what do you get for completing it? Xiang Nan is very curious.
Then there's the First-Kill Armband!
The system automatically grants this item as a reward each ti the player achieves a "first kill" of a major storyline character.
You can team up with storyline characters and freely travel to other dinsions… It sounds ridiculously overpowered!
If he were to bring soone like Netero into the KOF world… That thought alone is thrilling.
However, one must unlock specific quests to do this. Without unlocking them, apparently you can only team up with a storyline character once, although there's no such limit for players.
Also, having this item ans that when undertaking normal tasks—such as those in the "Extinction Ga" or the Reincarnation Dinsions—you can freely choose your teammates instead of relying on random matchmaking.
This also ans he and Manman won't be forced apart anymore.
But a squad only has two "uses" to form a team, unless Manman becos a permanent mber.
Overall, for waging war in the Reincarnation Dinsions, this armband is like a trump card—it removes all the random variables of a forced match, eliminating many hidden risks.
Otherwise, when you're grouped with strangers, everyone has their own agenda, and betrayal or backstabbing can easily happen during missions.
Now, you can directly pick your own companions, making the squad far more stable.
All team mbers, regardless of level, receive system rewards as long as the task is completed in team mode.
Practically speaking, if Xiang Nan proceeds to the next round, the seventh level of the Extinction Gas, and travels to another world, he could invite a level 8 Extinction player. Even if that person doesn't participate in the task themselves, they would still gain Dinsional Coins or resources from that world upon completion.
That's amazing, and Xiang Nan is excited.
He then realizes:
"But if I can get this item, that ans other players or organizations in the multiverse might have it too… That's a bit scary. If a player from a super-powerful world has already befriended its top storyline characters—like from Dragon Ball—and forms a team with Kakarot or other Saiyans, then even a base-level Super Saiyan would dominate most worlds.
How are you supposed to fight that?"
At the thought, Xiang Nan's excitent cools, and he feels a chill run down his spine.
"Still, to unlock the ability to recruit a storyline character, you need to complete a specific quest. The stronger the character, the more difficult the quest would be. Otherwise, this item would be totally overpowered. It can't be so simple. The main point is that most story characters have fixed personalities and are difficult to sway. Many heroic characters have their own moral codes… In the brutal reality of these Reincarnation Dinsions—where killing is rampant and lives are cheap—they probably wouldn't just go along with it.
As for the truly evil villains, you might use them, but you'd be introducing a huge liability. On so level, they're even harder to control, constantly plotting and scheming. They might turn on the captain at any mont. To recruit a storyline character—hero or villain—you really need thorough understanding, preferably a bond or entangled interests. Otherwise, it'd be hard to gain their genuine cooperation."
Upon deeper thought, the item doesn't seem so utterly ga-breaking after all.
"Besides, if you don't do the unlock quest, you only get one shot at teaming up. It's more like a secret trump card for life-or-death battles or crucial missions."
Calr now, Xiang Nan sees potential pitfalls in the armband. Overall, though, it remains a powerful "ace in the hole."
Finally, he looks through more system ssages:
They highlight the criteria for the First-Kill Achievent: killing a world's main protagonist (one able to significantly impact the storyline). Each world has only one chance for a first-kill achievent.
For instance, since Kyo Kusanagi is already dead in KOF, if soone kills Iori Yagami or Chizuru Kagura later, it won't count.
More system ssages indicate how much "progress" you gain by killing certain KOF characters:
Rugal: 5% (once he dies, the '95 KOF storyline can't unfold as originally intended)
Saisyu Kusanagi: 2%
Kyo Kusanagi: 20%
Thanks to killing these characters, Xiang Nan's progress in the KOF world is now 29%. He doesn't know what that really ans for a first-tir in the reincarnation dinsions, but he suspects not many players achieve it.
In any case, he now worries about the "Hunter × Hunter" world in his main tiline. If a player like him appears there and decides to kill key characters, how will he protect them? Gon and Killua, as main protagonists, absolutely cannot be allowed to die the way Kyo did.
The next Hunter Exam is just two months away, and the "Hunter × Hunter" storyline is about to begin. Xiang Nan feels it's imperative to join the Hunter Exam—both to deepen his connections with people like Netero or Biscuit for honing his Nen abilities, and to counter potential outside threats. He definitely doesn't want a tragedy in his ho world.
In closing, Xiang Nan and Manman have reached Extinction 6, aning their system-imposed isolation from storyline characters is lifted. They are now truly integrated into this world.
