Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

1045  Researching Hero Organization

Rudy was walking his way home, thinking about what happened in Rize's office. Alice and Janet had left early since they didn't know how much time Rudy would take Rize's office.

"I think I said too much…" he muttered to himself. "Was she upset, though? She suddenly asked me to leave and didn't give me a punishment."

Rudy remembered how Rize had died and he was planning on saving her and the other girls who had died and met their unfortunate end. He wanted to save them from the tragedy, but simply saving them wouldn't help. He had to change the course of their lives by interfering with them.

He had to make them strong and independent enough that they would survive in the world. Rudy couldn't always be there for them to save them, or so he thought.

"I can't believe I am saying this, but school is boring as fuck. There is so much I could do. I have to explore so much. The world and my powers… but… I have to go to school."

Rudy pondered for a few seconds and muttered, "Eric gets special treatment because he is a hero. He can have half a day at school. Even Erika, she can be absent for so many days. Maybe… I should also register as a hero and get that advantage? I am not worried about my grades either since it's child play for me."

When Rudy reached home, he was met with silence. Sure, he was used to that since in his past lives, but for some reason, he felt lonely.

"Why do I suddenly feel sad? Isn't this super common for me to return from school to an empty house? If not empty, I would find mom sleeping in her room. However, now it's truly empty."

Rudy let out a sigh and tossed his bag on the couch before heading to the kitchen.

"To be honest, I like this Worldline more than the others. Not only I got the second… third… argh! I don't know how many chances I have gotten, but I got yet another chance to fix things. The biggest chance is Jessica. Her existence alone has changed the world so much.

Mom no longer has to push herself hard to make a living. No more night shifts. And she doesn't have to marry Joe! I can even fix the things I messed up in the past worldliness! Once I remember my mistakes, I can take a different approach and save so much time!"

After drinking the water, he went back to the living room and grabbed his bag. While picking it up, he couldn't help but miss Angelica.

'She used to scold me whenever I threw the bag after returning from school. She would ask me to go to my room and take a bath. Although… now that I think about it… she was just horny and wanted some milky doses.'

Rudy went to take a bath and got lost in his thoughts about Angelica and where to find her.

"I should go to the tunnel first. But… the tunnel seems to operate fine and no incidents have occurred. Maybe she isn't in that tunnel?" Rudy wondered.

As far as he could remember, Angelica had died in the tunnel and the shadowy creature had trapped her soul. She couldn't pass on or leave the tunnel.

'What if Angelica's soul passed on and she is not a ghost in this Worldline?' Rudy didn't want to think of that possibility. He couldn't live without Angelica. Then, he thought of another possibility.

'I suddenly got memories of Angelica, so it's certain that Angelica exists and is near me. If she has become a ghost and I can't see her… that doesn't make sense. I should be able to see her using my supervision.

So… what if she is… alive? But if she is alive, then she isn't Angelica. Does it matter, though? I am so confused about what to do. Angelica… help me out here…"

Rudy closed his eyes and relaxed himself.

'You are doing multiple things at once. Just focus on what's on your hand and don't worry about the other things…'

Rudy felt as if someone had whispered to him that, but sure enough, no one was around.

Once he was done with the bath, he decided to research a bit about the Hero Organization. In his previous researches, he didn't pay attention to it since it felt irrelevant to him, but now that he was considering joining the Hero Organization, he decided to look up the process.

Initially, he reached the dead end after finding the official announcement from the Hero Organization that said to have closed entries for heroes after the apocalypse had ended. It was a logical approach since the towers had closed and no new heroes came into existence.

However, if an individual was caught using their power and they were unlicensed, they would be subject to a crime.

After a few hours of research, he came across a webpage on the dark web which claimed to have links with the Hero Organization.

"To be honest, I don't care about Hero Organization or any of that shit, and I am not doing this just so I could have a free school schedule. I want to learn the secrets this organization is hiding and I have to get to the bottom of it if I want to discover something."

Rudy decided to rest, but he was woken up when Rebecca came home. She asked him why he was sleeping on the couch instead of the bed, so he said he was watching the television but couldn't find anything interesting to watch.

"I will prepare dinner after the bath. If you are done resting, can you help me prepare the ingredients?" she asked in a lovely voice. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Sure. What are we making?" Rudy got up and glanced at Rebecca, who was taking out her clothes in her room.

"I didn't get time to visit the market today, so we will make whatever we can find in the refrigerator."

Rebecca went to take a bath while Rudy prepared ingredients for dinner.

After looking at them, Rudy nodded, "We can have a hotpot."

Everything was going smoothly until Rudy experienced his blessing and cursed. His Libido, which was a blessing when he was around the girls, and a curse when he was alone.

"This is bad. This is not just a Libido… it's super libido…"

Rudy's options to get rid of it were limited and all of them were risky.
