Title: ZenZero

"Ugh...W-Where..." Zenkichi weakly muttered, he tried getting up but found himself unable to move.

"What the? Am I tied up?!" He looked down to himself completely tied up in coarse rope, from neck to toe. It was quite a comical sight as only his head was left out.

He blinked, utterly dumbfounded by his unexpected situation.

"What the fuck!?"

"Ah, you're finally awake."

Zenkichi looked up to see an incredibly large man hunched over him, he looked like a giant to be honest—standing at 220 cm (7'3"), dark skinned, has white strands of hair lining his eyebrows and is bald. He wears a sleeveless vest and possesses a crimson symbol across the left side of his head.

Also, he held a massive club in his hand that he hovered over Zenkichi's head.

Any normal person would've been frightened by such a sight, but Zenkichi ignored the giant and mentally reached out for his system.

'System! What the hell's going on here?! Where am I?'

[Hello user.]

[I do apologize for the sudden change of scenery, but you were caught in a space-time storm. It was truly a unexpected event; that kind of phenomenon was a rare, natural anomaly with a one in a quadrillion chance of happening.]

Zenkichi blinked, 'A what now?'

[A space-time storm is a rare natural phenomenon in the vast multiverse that distorts the fabric of reality, transporting anything caught in its path across dimensions or time.]

Then he immediately started remembering the events prior to his new situation.

'That's right! I was fighting Envy in the underworld when some kind massive silver-colored tornado suddenly appeared out of nowhere and then....I found myself here.'

[That is how it happened, user.]

'Freaking hell...Just what with my luck that I ended up in this situation?!' Zenkichi inwardly groaned, his frustration mounting.

'What's going to happen to everyone? Brunhilde? Gudako? Mash? Ereshkigal? Please tell me that Envy got sucked up with me as well.'

[Answer: Due to the unexpected development of the situation, your...sponsor has decided to momentarily stop time in the Nasuverse until your return.]

[As for the matter of the Ancient Monster of Envy.....she is currently in the same world that you are currently in right now.]

Zenkichi narrowed his eyes, 'System. If I defeat her in this world, would it have any conflict with the quest?'

[Answer: No]

'That's good. So how are am I going to get of this world and get back?'

There was a moment of silence.

[New Quest generated.]

[Quest: ZenZero!]

[Objective: Defeat Satella(0/1)]

[Optional Objective: Make sure Subaru does not die even once]

[Reward: Jumpoint(Nasuverse)]

[Bonus Reward: ???]

'...Who the hell is Subaru?'

The giant watched him closely, his heavy club resting ominously on his shoulder. "You're awfully quiet all of a sudden. Remembering something important?"

Zenkichi snapped out of his thoughts, fixing the giant with a wry smile. "Yeah, just thinking about how I'm going to kill one of the seven sins and making sure someone called Subaru doesn't get killed."

The giant blinked, confused. "What the hell are you talking about? Didja hit your head too hard?"

"Depends. How did I end up here and why am I tied up?"

The old giant grunted and said, "One of the weirdest shit I've ever seen in my life, and considering what I've experienced in my life, that's saying something."

"....What happened?"

"You appeared out of thin air in the sky, fell down into the ground creating a large crater, without a scratch on your body, and caused a dozen people to pass out when they got a few metres near you."

'Dafuq? Why did they pass out?' Zenkichi raised an eyebrow, he didn't remember acquiring Conqueror's Haki.

"Wait, if that happened, why am I here and why aren't you knocked out?"

He shrugged, "I figured you were worth something, so I took you in and wait until a buyer comes in. As for why I'm not passed out like the others? Eh, guess I'm built different. By the way, name's Rom. Since I'm selling you, I figure I'd give you the courtesy to know who I am. If you hate me, I understand. But let me you—it's nothing personal, it's just business."

'Rom? Wait, he kinda looks familiar...' Zenkichi furrowed his brows.

'Subaru...If I remember correctly, wasn't there an anime with the protagonist's name...' Slowly, everything clicked in his head.

'Oh, fuck! I'm in Rezero!?'

Rom mistook the look of panic in Zenkichi's eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "Sorry, kid. Things have gotten rough ever since the end of the Royal Family. Taxes have gone through the roof, trade's become dangerous, and everyone's just trying to survive. Selling someone like you…. well, it's nothing personal. Just business."

Zenkichi forced a grin, trying to mask the growing realization that he had ended up in the world of Rezero. 'Of all places....why here?! Was it a coincidence? Wait, is Envy the same one in Rezero? She wasn't a fucking lookalike!?'

"C'mon kid, don't look at me like that. I got a kid to take care of, y'know?"

Zenkichi shook his head, "N-No, it's fine old man. I was just thinking about something else. Say, is there a Witch of Envy? And she goes by the name of Satella?"

Rom's face turned deathly pale at the mention of Satella. The giant old man took an involuntary step back, his grip on the massive club tightening.

"Kid..." Rom's voice was a low growl, barely above a whisper. "You've got a death wish or somethin'? We don't speak that name around here."

Zenkichi raised an eyebrow, his mind racing. 'So, is there no divergence to the original timeline here? Was the Ancient Monster Envy, the very same Witch of Envy? What kind of space-time fuckery is this?'

Well, nonetheless, he already had a plan in mind to get out of this world.

First off, keep a close eye on Subaru and try to kidnap him. Since it might be the same Envy, they would have a close connection with each other.

Also, as he only watched the two seasons of the Rezero anime, and not the light novel, Subaru is going to be his only lead to Envy.

'Wait, at what point am I in the anime?'

"Hey old man Rom! I got it!"

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of the door opening and a little girl of lithe figure with blonde hair, wine-red eyes and wears a sleeveless black top, red scarf with a golden patch on it, black pants that are incomplete on the left side, and a red ribbon on her left ankle. She also wears a vest, gloves, brown shoes, and has a belt with a sheath where her knife is.

"Oh, Felt! Welcome back." Rom said, visibly relaxing as the young girl entered the warehouse.

Felt grinned, she walked in holding up a black dragon-shaped insignia with a red stone shining inside her palm. "Yo! I just finished a job successfully, again. Hehe. Old man Rom, you should've seen just how easy—"

"My, my. You completed your assignment already? How wonderful."

Suddenly, a sultry voice sounded from behind Felt.

Entering the Stolen Goods Warehouse was a shady looking, and incredibly sexy, woman with long wavy black hair and sharp purple eyes that seemed to radiate a calm murderous intent. Her white skin was unusually pale to the point that it could almost be described as sickening, and her slim body was well-endowed with large breasts and sultry curves.

As she entered, Zenkichi's eyes narrowed. 'Elsa Granhiert, the Bowel Hunter. So I'm at the beginning of the anime.'

Rom furrowed his brows, a bad feeling crept in his heart. 'Who is this woman? I could smell blood coming from her.'

Felt, not sensing anything wrong, walked up to her and said. "Here, I got this thing you wanted. Will you honor our agreement and pay my service already?"

"Yes, you've done such a wonderful job... However, there's still something I want as well."

"Huh? Hm. As long it isn't unreasonable, I could do it as well."

Elsa smiled.

"I want to see what color your bowels are."

"Huh?"

Felt and Rom wasn't able to react fast enough as Elsa pulled out a large Kukri Knife.

Ding!*

"Whoa!"

"Felt!"

"Hm?" Elsa's eyebrows shot up, she looked up in confusion to see a unknown man catching her Kukri Knife with his bare left hand.

She smiled, "Interesting. Now, who might you be? Mysterious hero~?"

Zenkichi smirked, Gram appearing in his other hand. "Name's Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, and I'll be the one to take you on."

"Oho, really? My name is Elsa Granhiert. Well then, I wonder how your guts would look like!"

A few minutes later, two people entered the Stolen Goods Warehouse.

One was a black haired japanese boy wearing a track suit and the other was a silver haired half elf wearing a white dress with purple accents.

"Excuse us..." The silver haired half elf softly said as she entered the warehouse, and froze upon what she saw inside.

"Satella? Why'd you stop? Hey thief! We're here to get—!" The black-haired boy stepped forward confidently, only to freeze as his eyes landed on Zenkichi, pressing his left foot on the head of a sexy looking woman.

What was off about the whole ordeal was that the woman was breathing heavily and shaking her large ass around.

"....Are interrupting something?" The black-haired boy muttered.

"Ah~ More~!"
